Chapter 105 Take off the mask!

The two tigers who had just killed everyone in the camp and slapped a seven-foot-tall man away with one claw were so majestic and ferocious, showing the fierceness and arrogance of the king of beasts.

At this moment, she was lying on the ground, rolling and bowing to Cheng Shengxuan, and she also took the initiative to expose her belly and show her weak spot in front of him to show her submission.

It's like the obedient big cat next door.

These two tigers are willing to risk their lives for their cubs.

Cheng Shengxuan sighed.

"Whatever."

He took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, put it in front of the tiger's nose, and let it smell it for a while.

"Remember this smell, go to the other side of the mountain and find my family."

Then he took off the cloak that his mother had made for him.

He tied a few knots and made it into a cloth bag, hung it around the tigress's neck, and finally put the tiger cub in it.

He patted their heads one by one and pointed in the direction of Dayin.

"Go ahead."

The family of three, two adults and one child, rubbed his hand, then quickly ran into the mountains and soon disappeared.

Cheng Shengxuan withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice.

"Please help inform Yu An, young lady."

After the tiger left, Chu Yuan jumped down from the tree trembling, looking at the thick claw marks in the snow with lingering fear.

"I was scared to death."

Cheng Shengxuan looked at him speechlessly.

"Look at what you have accomplished!"

"Yes, yes, you are awesome. You remain calm in the face of a pack of tigers. You are the best, okay?"

After saying this teasingly, Chu Yuan's expression turned serious.

"Shang Xiaomin changed the plan without even informing you. This shows that he never really trusted you."

"What do we do now?"

Cheng Shengxuan looked towards the camp with a cold look in his eyes.

"The goal has not been achieved yet. Now is not the time to fall out with Shang Xiaomin."

"I'll go check the situation again, you leave here quickly."

…

And at this moment in the king's tent.

The second prince knelt on the ground, his tone sincere and every word earnest.

"Father, please calm down. No matter what, the mistake that occurred during the Eastern Hunt was indeed my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"But please forgive me, Father. These two things are really strange!"

As he said this, he glared at Shang Xiaomin meaningfully.

"I am not trying to excuse myself."

"But I feel that there must be someone with ulterior motives who wants to frame me!"

Thanks to the efforts of a group of imperial doctors, the old king has regained consciousness and is now sitting in a chair, looking sick.

Hearing what he said, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand at him.

He pointed at him with a trembling hand and cursed.

"You bastard!"

"You didn't do your job carefully, and when something went wrong you just wanted to shirk responsibility. Is that what I taught you?!"

The second prince knelt upright, motionless, allowing the teacup to hit him, and looked at him stubbornly.

"Father, I am not trying to shirk my responsibility. It's just that these two things are too coincidental. How could a young tiger sneak into a well-defended camp? And what about those assassins hiding among the imperial guards?"

"If it is found to be a coincidence, I will admit it. It doesn't matter what kind of punishment I receive, as long as my father is safe."

"But if someone really did intend to murder me, and this person is not eliminated, I am worried about my father's safety!"

Shang Xiaohui's speech of "I'm doing this for your own good, my father" was indeed useful.

At least, a seed of doubt was planted in the old king's heart.

The second brother was right. If there really was someone plotting this in secret, then this person's scheming was truly terrifying.

Who could it be?

The old king's aged but extremely sharp eyes swept over everyone in the tent one by one.

The ministers are all possible, as for the two sons...

The fifth brother blocked a sword for him, but the wound was not deep. The imperial physician also said that it did not hit his vital parts. If the second brother made a mistake, he would be the one who benefited the most...

As for the second brother, it is possible that all of this was directed and acted out by the second brother himself, and the thief is crying "stop thief".

But when his eyes fell on his second son, who was covered in scars, pale as paper, and in a disheveled state, a trace of pity slipped through the old king's heart.

After all, he was the one who raised him, and he was proud of this brave, warlike and high-spirited son.

The old king sighed, raised his hand, and gave the eunuch chief a look.

"You are such a tactless person! Why don't you help your Second Prince up?"

"Where's the imperial physician? Come and help the second brother!"

Seeing this scene, Shang Xiaomin rolled his eyes secretly.

I really underestimated the second one in the past. He actually played the victim?

Shang Xiaohui sat on the chair and let the imperial physician treat his wounds.

"Father, the masked man holding the tiger cub was also suspicious. I think it would be better to give him a trial."

Shang Xiaomin quickly stood up, holding his chest.

"Please think twice, Father. After all, that man has done a great service in saving you!"

"Why are you so anxious, Fifth Brother? Oh, by the way, if I am not mistaken, the clothes that person is wearing seem to be those of the guards in Fifth Brother's mansion?"

Shang Xiaomin gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

"Please be careful with your words, second brother!"

The old king narrowed his eyes slightly.

"alright!"

"The second brother's suspicion makes some sense, and the fifth brother is also right. We can't wrongly accuse someone who has made great contributions. To be on the safe side, let's summon that person for questioning."

Shang Xiaomin secretly gave Qingmu at the door a look, and the other party understood and left quietly.

On the other side, as soon as he walked into the camp gate, Cheng Shengxuan was surrounded by a group of imperial guards.

The guards around the second prince waved their hands heavily.

"take away!"

"Wait a minute!"

Aoki came over.

"The king only said to bring the person over for questioning, but he didn't tell you to treat him like a criminal and take him over!"

The guard gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and bowed to Cheng Shengxuan.

"Thank you for reminding me. I was too impatient. Please forgive me, brother."

"The king has summoned us, so please come with us, brother."

Cheng Shengxuan followed them and came to the king's tent.

He saluted to the high seat.

"Greetings to the Lord."

The old king looked at him.

"Where did you find the tiger cub?"

Cheng Shengxuan lowered his head slightly.

"In reply to the Lord, I thought that a tiger would not break into the camp without a reason. After careful observation, I found the little tiger in the arms of a palace maid."

"I just wanted to give it a try, but I accidentally led the two tigers away."

"snort!"

The Second Emperor snorted coldly.

"You said you found it in the maid's arms. Who can prove it?!"

Cheng Shengxuan looked straight at him.

"I remember clearly that the maid was the personal maid of Concubine Xue. We will know the answer by asking her."

The old king shouted outside.

"Go and bring the maid here!"

When the Second Prince heard him mention Concubine Xue, there was a moment of awkwardness on his face.

"You are wearing a mask and hiding something. There must be something fishy about you!"

Cheng Shengxuan raised his hand and touched the mask.

"I have escaped death from a fire before, and my face was burned by the fire. It is really hideous and horrible, which is unsightly. I dare not disturb or offend the king."

But in the eyes of the Second Prince, his explanation was a sign of guilt.

And for some reason, this person gave him a sense of déjà vu.

The more Shang Xiaohui thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with him.

"It's okay. Father is the Son of Heaven and he is blessed by God. If you have a clear conscience, you should take off your mask and let us see it!"

Shang Xiaomin secretly clenched his fists.

"Second brother! You are too aggressive!"

Although Muyuan and Dayin have not fought for several years, there are veterans who have fought in the battlefield in this camp.

What's more, when the second brother went to the battlefield a few years ago, he met the Cheng family!

He must be able to recognize Cheng Shengxuan!

The old king lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"Old Two is right."

"Take off the mask quickly!"
