Supreme Alchemy

In the Baixiao Hall, everyone was silent and dared not say a word.

Only Empress Duan was crying while holding the body of the fifth prince.

At this time.

Xiao Changfeng followed Emperor Wu and stepped into the cold night.

Although it did not snow tonight, the previous snow had not melted yet.

In the night, it still looked a little pale.

Xiao Changfeng looked at his father in front of him, but he had many doubts in his heart.

The biggest doubt was why he was so desperate to protect himself?

If it was the love between father and son.

Then the eighth prince and the twelfth prince, or the second prince and the third prince, were all his sons.

And today, when he killed the fifth prince with a sword, he did not see him angry.

This is definitely not an ordinary love between father and son.

But if it is not like this, then what kind of relationship is it?

After my mother disappeared, I didn't see him asking about my well-being.

During the ten years of humiliation, my father never came to see me once.

He never asked about my life.

He never came to protect himself and save himself from humiliation.

Even going to the Yin-Yang Academy was exchanged for his mother's relics at that time.

It can be said that in Xiao Changfeng's impression.

Father is a very vague concept.

As if he is a familiar stranger.

"Father, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Changfeng looked at the back of Emperor Wu and couldn't help asking in his heart.

But he didn't speak, but continued to follow Emperor Wu.

This time he returned to Kyoto, his purpose was to explore the strange disease for twelve years and find the whereabouts of his mother.

At the same time, it was also to avenge the humiliation of the past.

He never thought of relying on the power of others.

Even just now, he was slandered by everyone and besieged by dozens of strong men.

Xiao Changfeng didn't think of relying on the power of his father.

However, at this critical moment.

Father.

But gave him a solid arm.

All the dangers were stopped together.

This feeling of being protected by the father is the first time!

It would be a lie to say that I was not moved.

But more of it is doubt.

After all, he was no longer the person who could only be bullied.

He was Xiao Changfeng, who had awakened the memory of the Immortal Emperor and had enough strength and means to take revenge.

He walked forward all the way.

The Emperor Wu did not speak to Xiao Changfeng, but walked forward with his hands behind his back, walking like a dragon and a tiger.

Eunuch Hong arrived at some point and followed behind Xiao Changfeng.

Soon, Xiao Changfeng, under the guidance of the Emperor Wu.

He passed through many palaces and corridors and came to the depths of the palace.

"Heavenly Tower!"

Soon, Xiao Changfeng saw a towering tower.

This tower was a hundred meters high, with a bright light on it, as if it was brighter than the stars in the sky.

The Emperor Wu walked straight into the tower.

Xiao Changfeng did not stop and followed him in.

The Heavenly Tower was not spacious, with only a curved and folded stone staircase.

The Emperor Wu stepped on the stone staircase step by step, slowly going up, as if he was ascending to the sky.

Xiao Changfeng followed behind him without saying a word.

Eunuch Hong had a food box in his hand at some point, and appeared like a ghost, following Xiao Changfeng without stopping.

The stone stairs were very long and kept going up.

Xiao Changfeng swept his spiritual sense and clearly found that there were 999 steps in total.

Soon, the three of them came to the top of the tower.

The top of the tower was not a point, but a platform.

The platform was surrounded by the vast sky.

There was a stone table and four quaint stone benches in a radius of five meters.

Sitting on the stone bench, a few steps away was a hundred meters high.

The surroundings were surrounded by clouds and mist, but from here, you could see most of Kyoto and the lights of thousands of houses.

It was just that there was no shelter on all sides, and the cold wind was enough to make people feel cold all over.

It was really cold at high places!

"Sit down!"

Emperor Wu sat on the stone bench and said the first word to Xiao Changfeng.

Xiao Changfeng did not refuse, nodded, and sat down opposite Emperor Wu.

At this time, Eunuch Hong also came quickly and opened the food box.

There was nothing else in it, only a pot of tea and two teacups.

"There is a Wuyi Mountain in Chuzhou. There is an old tea tree on the top of the mountain. It sprouts once every ten years, and each time there are less than two kilograms of tea leaves. However, this Wuyi tea has a unique taste. I have always liked it."

Emperor Wu took out the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that his father didn't say anything else, but talked about tea first.

But he didn't rush and tasted a sip of Wuyi tea.

The tea was very bitter.

It was dozens of times bitterer than ordinary tea.

It seemed to be a combination of bitter melon, bitter lotus, bitter root and other bitter things.

However, after swallowing this mouthful of tea, there was an indescribable sweetness.

Endless aftertaste.

"Sometimes life is like this tea. Only after experiencing all the sufferings can you enjoy the final sweetness."

Emperor Wu put down the teacup and smiled.

"Father, are you going to lecture me again?"

Xiao Changfeng looked at Emperor Wu calmly.

He thought that Emperor Wu would lecture him like last time.

But this time, Emperor Wu shook his head.

"Last time in the Imperial Study, I already understood your thoughts. Your actions today also showed me your determination. In this case, why should I impose my thoughts on you!"

The Emperor Wu smiled and spoke, without any blame on his face.

It seemed that Xiao Changfeng's killing of the fifth prince in public was just a trivial matter in his eyes.

"Oh? Father, I am more curious why you are so protective of me. This seems to be contrary to your previous practices for more than ten years!"

Xiao Changfeng directly expressed his doubts.

This is what he didn't understand the most.

"Changfeng, you have grown up, I am very pleased!"

The Emperor Wu smiled slightly.

"Do you know that life is like chess, and there is no regret after making a move? I don't want to say more about the past ten years. Whether you blame me or hate me, I will not regret it. As for the reason, you will know it in the future."

The Emperor Wu has never been a fussy person, let alone a false one.

Therefore, he did not choose to use explanations to exchange for Xiao Changfeng's trust.

Anyway, he knew that Xiao Changfeng would not care about these things.

"What do you think about what happened tonight?"

Xiao Changfeng nodded, and then asked about what happened tonight.

"You know it in your heart, why ask me!"

Emperor Wu smiled.

The little tricks of the fifth prince were nothing in front of him.

And he believed that Xiao Changfeng also saw it clearly, otherwise he would not have taken strong action.

"Then, what about the queen?"

Xiao Changfeng spoke again, staring at Emperor Wu.

"Queen!"

Hearing Xiao Changfeng mention the queen, Emperor Wu sighed, and then stood up, facing the cold wind, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance.

After a while, Emperor Wu spoke.

And what he said surprised Xiao Changfeng.

"Since you asked, I will tell you a secret, a big secret!"

"In fact, the evil seed in the queen's belly is not mine!"
