"Then I was caught. My uncle was shocked when he saw me. The man immediately wanted to kill me, but my uncle stopped me and told me about my identity. The man stared at me for a long time and knocked me out. When I woke up, he found that he was sore and weak, and the carriage was racing. I asked my uncle why he treated me like this. He looked at me with a strange look, as if he was looking at a dead person. At that time, the carriage stopped, and someone outside the carriage said..." Zhanghua said this, poured a cup of new tea and pushed it to Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan subconsciously took it and held it in his hand. Zhanghua looked at her with a strange look, as if sad and nostalgic, and was stained with tenderness.

"Xie Weishan, the governor of Binzhou, pay homage to the prince-consort."

Xie Changyan shook his hand and finally understood Zhanghua's intention to give himself a cup of tea in advance. The heat of the tea was transmitted to her palm through the wooden cup, and the misty water vapor instantly blurred her eyes.

Fifteen years ago, Zhanghua, who was killed, met...her father...

"My uncle immediately stuffed my mouth with a cloth, covered me with a curtain, got out of the car and talked to him. I knew this was a rare opportunity. However, I couldn't move and couldn't speak. Finally, I..." Zhanghua hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm a little relieved."

Xie Changyan's face turned red. This was actually a wonderful move, but it was a bit embarrassing whether it was the real scene at that time or the retelling at this moment.

She had no choice but to quickly bring up the topic: "Did Dad find out?"

"His voice stopped, but he didn't get into the car, nor looked at it. After talking to his uncle for a few polite words, he left."

Alas? Didn't my dad find out?

"I was very angry and thought this man was such a fool. Then my uncle took me to a boat and handed me over to the man. I was locked up in the bilge for three days, without light, water, and food."

Xie Changyan's heart trembled. "What's going on?"

Zhanghua said lightly: "In short, Fang Qingchi is a detailed work of Ruyi Sect. He made an appointment with the disciples of the Yin Sect to meet Binzhou and deliver information. He did not want to be knocked out by me, so he immediately decided to send me secretly to King Cheng to threaten his father as a bargaining chip."

Xie Changyan finally sprinkled the tea in the cup.

Zhanghua took the rag beside him and wiped off the water stains she splashed out. From Xie Changyan's perspective, he could see his lower eyebrows and straight nose - this face that she had resentment, complained, regretted, and could not interpret countless times. It turned out that it was because of the past and was hurt, so it became like this.

She could not imagine a six-year-old child being locked in the bilge without eating or drinking for three days.

She could not imagine the situation where the prince who was pampered and smoothly became a prisoner.

She couldn't imagine the mood of a child who was betrayed by her uncle.

When the light moves, I feel the angina pectoris and my whole body will tremble.

"Your Majesty..." She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Although she knew that he escaped later and returned to Yujing, she grew up safely, time was uneven.

Especially, now, he was in front of her, calmly tearing the scar open, revealing the real flesh and blood below to show her.

Did I do something very cruel? Xie Changyan couldn't help asking himself.

Sorry, Your Majesty. Sorry.

After Zhanghua wiped the water stains, he looked up and saw Xie Changyan's eyes that were about to cry. He suddenly smiled and reached out to pat her forehead - just like when he was a child.

"I am not as fragile as you think. In fact, for the six-year-old I, this matter is far greater than loss." Zhanghua looked at her, as if he saw another person through her face, full of gratitude, "Because... on the third day, your father came."

With a "creak", the hatch door was opened from outside.

The bright light shone into the dark bilge in an instant. Xiao Zhanghua's eyes were stabbed in pain. While he was crying uncontrollably, he raised his head in fear and looked at the door.

The outline of a man appeared there, holding a long sword and wearing armor, and was a military general.

"I'm here." The man smiled at him like a warm wind that could wipe away all fear and fear. "Your Highness, don't be afraid."

"Your father is a very alert person and has great martial arts skills. When he was talking to his uncle on the street, he noticed that there was another person in the car and heard the sound of drowning. But seeing Fang Qingchi trying his best to cover up, he pretended to be fine and let him leave. At the same time, he received a secret note from the Grand Tutor saying that the prince was missing and asked officials from all over the country to secretly visit me in private and be sure to find me as soon as possible."

Xie Changyan suddenly said, "So my father was suspicious of Fang Qingchi."

"Yes. In order to keep it a secret, he cooperated with his confidant to circumvent the ship and rescued me out of the war. During the battle, he killed nine of the disciples of the Silver Sect. The tenth man, the man who was connecting with Fang Qingchi, wanted to kill me with a dagger. Your father hugged me and tried his best to avoid it. The dagger finally passed by my hand..."

Zhanghua said as he stretched out his right wrist, Xie Changyan finally knew where the centipede-like scar came from. It turned out to be related to his father...

"Your father took the opportunity to snatch the dagger and poked one of his eyes blinded."

The clues are so continuous: the dagger, the nine brothers, the blind eyes, all of them meet!

"The man jumped into the sea to see the situation was hopeless. Your father carried me back. Unexpectedly, before he could dock, the ship was bombed by the Binzhou naval army."

Xie Changyan opened his eyes wide: "How could it be?"

"Fang Qingchi learned that your father went out to sea secretly, and knew that the matter was likely to be exposed. He decided not to do it. On the grounds that Cheng Kou had to clear the situation and welcome the princess back home successfully, he tricked the deputy general into summoning the navy to go out to sea with him. Our ship was Cheng Chuan, and as soon as it was seen, they shot rockets and killed him."

Xie Changyan's face turned pale.

"We were powerless and far away, and there was no chance to explain. In this way, the ship caught fire and sank..." Zhanghua seemed to be revived by the thoughts of the past, and his hands suddenly clenched and shivered on his knees. He had to stop and took several deep breaths before he could continue to talk.

"Your father hid me in a wine barrel and pushed me hard away from Cheng's boat, and he himself returned to the sea of ​​fire to rescue his colleagues. I cried loudly in the barrel, but could only watch the boat get farther and farther away from me... I was very lucky. I floated on the sea for a long time, and was rescued by the fishermen before they were about to dry, and took it home. Three days later, the Grand Tutor brought people to me - before your father went to sea, he replied to him secretly. When I asked about this, the Grand Tutor told me..." Zhanghua said this, and poured another cup of hot tea for Xie Changyan. Xie Changyan understood that the following words must be terrible.

"The ship caught fire, Xie Weishan and his confidants had 20 people. Those who were burned to death were burned to death, those who were not burned to death were shot to death by arrows, and none of them survived."

Xie Changyan's tears fell into the hot tea.

"The Grand Tutor detained Fang Qingchi and secretly took it back to the palace to report the matter to his father. Although the father was furious, in order to take care of his aunt's face and also to worry about King Cheng, he finally decided to cover up the matter. He described the entire incident as the Binzhou Governor Xie Weishan discovered Cheng Kou and died in order to protect the fishermen's death. The others were hidden secretly. As for Fang Qingchi, he would be convicted when his aunt comes back."
