"My dear Prime Minister Hua, please come out. You heard everything." When Liu Qihao came, Prime Minister Hua was already in the emperor's study. When Liu Qihao came in, the emperor asked him to hide behind the screen.

"Just as you guessed, King Kang's revenge has come." The emperor valued the prime minister's ability very much, otherwise he would not have promoted him all the way to the position of prime minister.

But he also hated his smoothness, his way of always taking everything into consideration and never offending anyone. What the emperor needed at this moment was a brave general who dared to charge into battle, not someone who only cared about protecting himself.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. I am also a father, and my analysis that day was based on a father who loves his children." Prime Minister Hua was indeed terrified. He didn't know how to explain to the emperor what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

Just at this moment, the eunuch outside the door shouted "Prince Hong". This was Debao's advance instructions. When Prince Hong arrived, he should shout loudly to let the emperor inside know.

"Please take a rest behind the screen for a while."

Prime Minister Hua said, "You want me to eavesdrop again," and hid behind the screen obediently.

Hua Xiyu followed behind Liu Jingcheng, who pulled her to kneel and salute. Hua Xiyu was not used to it and didn't understand why he forced her to do so. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the person sitting on the dragon throne and Dequan standing next to him.

"Hey, Uncle Zheng."

"Bold!" Dequan shouted, but his voice was gentle and contained some indescribable emotions.

"Uncle Dequan, could it be that you are..." Hua Xiyu had never seen ancient times, but now he understood that the man's surname was Zhen, not Zheng.

"That's right." This was probably the smartest moment in Dequan's life. He immediately knew what Hua Xiyu was referring to.

"Oh, no wonder, it's me, not Zheng. Okay, sorry, I made a mistake."

"Tell me, why did you come to see me?" The emperor did not pursue the issue of whether she knelt or not. It was just a small matter of saving her life that day, so he did not care about it when there were no outsiders around.

"Someone wants to kill my son, so I want to find out who it is, and then kill him." Hua Xiyu was not polite either. "Since you are the emperor, you should not blame me if I kill those who want to kill my son."

Hua Xiyu felt that he had not expressed himself clearly enough, and after thinking for a while he said, "My son is your grandson, and Dabao and Erbao are my children."

She glanced at Liu Jingcheng who was kneeling on the ground. The emperor did not ask him to get up, so he had to kneel obediently.

Although Liu Jingcheng did not see it, he also received her gaze, so he stopped kneeling and stood up, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hua Xiyu, "Father, your son wants to mobilize the Eagle Guards to kill King Kang."

Liu Jingcheng was no longer polite and did not want any false formalities. He was the emperor's son and was affected. He had the power to mobilize 500 Eagle Guards. Last time the situation was urgent and he gave an explanation afterwards. This time it was his personal matter, so he just wanted to report it.

"How do you plan to kill them? It is said that the hidden weapons used in the palace are very powerful and can wipe out all the assassins without leaving a single one. Is that true?" asked the emperor.

"Yes," Liu Jingcheng answered honestly.

"You arranged guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion one day in advance. Why?" the emperor asked again.

"Because..." Liu Jingcheng didn't want to tell the emperor that he had Hua Xiyu's camera. Once the old man knew about it, it would become the emperor's, and he would not be able to use it. He would also suspect that he was eavesdropping on the emperor's conversation, which was a royal taboo.

"Because I heard some rumors, I made arrangements in advance."

"Where did you hear the rumor? The assassins in Prince Kang's mansion are all deadly warriors. They disguised themselves as Liu Qihao's guards. How could the rumor leak out?" the emperor asked.

"The assassins are different from the guards. I have encountered them before at the east gate of Huicheng, so I know them at first sight."

"We have been keeping an eye on them since they entered the city, so we took precautions in advance." Liu Jingcheng felt that this explanation was very reasonable. It was none of his business whether people believed it or not.

Hua Xiyu listened to the conversation between the father and son. It turned out that these two people knew who the assassin was. Why was she still being polite? She glared at Liu Jingcheng fiercely. She knew that he had let someone sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion without telling him in advance and killing him in advance. If it weren't for Chunliu, Dabao might have lost his life.

She didn't want to listen to the boring conversation between the father and son anymore, so she bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since you owe me a favor, please tell me the other party's name and address. I can't let them hurt my son again."

"Stop messing around." Liu Jingcheng gently tugged at her clothes, indicating that she should be more respectful when speaking to the emperor, and that she should not call herself "I" in front of the emperor. But he couldn't say these at the moment. He had told her in the carriage when he came here, so she should try not to speak and just wait for him to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xiyu completely ignored him. In her eyes, the emperor was the same as Cao Zhengyue, just a superior. Their relationship was one of mutual respect and basic courtesy. It was definitely not a relationship of flattery and fawning.

It is almost impossible for a modern person who has received Western education to follow the ancient Chinese system completely.

The emperor didn't pay attention to her little details, nor was he shocked by her saying that she was the biological mother of the two treasures. The emperor already knew clearly about her relationship with Liu Jingcheng.

"How many troops do you have and how do you plan to kill them?" The emperor asked with a smile. This smile contained a lot of meaning, but Hua Xiyu didn't want to beat around the bush. Since this matter was related to the emperor, she would ask the emperor for a license to kill and kill the other party openly.

"We don't need many men and horses. I can do it alone, and at most I can bring the guards from the palace. Five or six people will be enough," Hua Xiyu said calmly.

She never needs a partner when carrying out missions, and always works alone. Doing things alone is quick and efficient, safe and reassuring, and she can escape much faster.

"Do you know that Prince Kang's Palace has more than 20 troops?" The emperor laughed in his heart. After all, he was ignorant of the immensity of the world. No matter how powerful he was or how good his martial arts were, it was really a fantasy to think that he could fight against hundreds of thousands of troops by himself.

"It doesn't matter to me how many troops he has. Shoot the horse first and capture the leader first. I only need to kill the leader. As for his army, you can find a new commander to take over."

Who would go to fight with an army for no reason? I'm not stupid, just kill the commander.

"How can you get close to him? He is always surrounded by expert guards." Everyone knows the principle of killing the leader. King Kang has always wanted to assassinate the emperor, but he can't kill him. He can't even get close to him. The area within an arrow's range is guarded by secret guards.

"I don't need to get close to him. I can kill him directly from a mile away from him." Hua Xiyu wondered whether it was necessary to tell the emperor that she had a drone and could kill people directly without even showing up. The thought flashed through her mind, but she finally rejected it because it would make the emperor sleepless at night.

"Really?" the father and son asked at the same time.

"Of course." Since they had already seen his gun, Hua Xiyu took out his gun and pointed it at a tree more than 100 meters away from the hall. It was almost the evening hour, and many birds began to return to their nests.

"See that bird circling at the top of the tree?" she pointed it out to the father and son.

The two followed her gaze and saw a bird returning to its nest. "Yeah, we saw it."

"I'll roast a bird for Erbao tonight." After saying that, she pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bird fell down with its wings flapping.

"Fu Tingxuan, go pick it up quickly," the emperor shouted.

A figure flashed by, and Fu Tingxuan quickly picked up the bird that had been shot and fell to the ground. The bird had been shot in the abdomen and was already dead.

"Your Majesty, do you believe me?"

At this moment, Prime Minister Hua, who had been hiding behind the screen, could no longer hold back and came out without waiting for the emperor to call him. He looked at his newly found daughter in surprise and suspicion. It turned out that she not only had good things, but also had good skills.

Thinking about how she jumped into the lake at the Prime Minister's Mansion and was witnessed by so many people, but she actually came out of Liushuang Courtyard as if nothing had happened, all the onlookers were confused. Even he, an old fox who had been in the officialdom for a long time and was good at political intrigue, could not figure out what was going on.

Thinking about it now, if my daughter had a special skill, then I would understand completely that she could swim from the bottom of the lake to the other side, and then climb over the wall back to Liushuang Courtyard. She not only preserved her own reputation, but also the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is really smart.

Prime Minister Hua looked at his daughter with great pride and for a moment he lost his composure.

Hua Xiyu turned around and saw Prime Minister Hua standing behind the emperor, looking at her kindly. She felt a little scared by that look. Although he was her biological father, they were not that close emotionally.

"Prime Minister, you have raised a good daughter." The emperor didn't believe that it was the prime minister's daughter. He knew that the prime minister's daughter had died long ago, and Ying Qi had already found out clearly.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!" Prime Minister Hua has been in a state of panic. His daughter is too capable and will make the emperor uneasy. If she can hit a flying bird from a hundred steps away, then hitting the emperor will be no problem. He doesn't know what the emperor thinks, but he is scared to death at this moment.

He felt extremely regretful that he had not taught his daughter some rules of conduct and speech in advance. Now that she had caused trouble, the Hua family was in danger.

"You'd better go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to wait for your marriage. Let me think about this matter." The emperor thought about it and felt that it was not that simple. He still needed to investigate Hua Xiyu's background. Such a powerful person, with such a powerful hidden weapon, could not be left outside and must be brought into the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request. I hope Your Majesty will approve it." Prime Minister Hua thought for a moment and suddenly thought of a way to ease the emperor's doubts.

"Well, please speak, Mr. Hua."

"My daughter has not been by my side since she was young, and she knows very little about the rules and etiquette of the capital. I would like to ask a nanny from the palace to come to my house to teach my daughter some rules and etiquette. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard this, he said without even thinking, "Okay."
