In terms of beauty, you can't beat me

Han Jue slowly let go of her hand after realizing this problem, I pretended not to change my face, and calmly said: "It's freezing cold, I'll ask Ning Feng to add an extra quilt for you."

Han Jue nodded in agreement.

I pretended not to see Ning Feng's surprise when he came in with the quilt in his arms, and I also pretended not to see Han Jue's disappointed eyes, and said directly: "For the sake of saving this king twice, you don't have to brave the wind and snow to go back tonight." gone."

Xi Yu came from nowhere: "But it's obviously a sunny day outside!"

Ning Feng put down the quilt and was about to push Xiyu out, Xiyu smiled again and said to Han Jue: "Your Highness never likes to sleep with others, you are the first in the world!"

After thanking Ning Feng, Han Jue spread out the quilt and wrapped it tightly around her body, with joy still shining in her eyes.I turned around and looked inward, looking at the fluttering curtain: "Go to sleep."

From the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month on New Year's Eve, Han Jue stayed at my house.Xia Xun was personally invited out by the emperor, and built a mansion for him in Chang'an. That mansion is [-] miles away from me. Every time I come to look for me, I set off on a starry night. More days later, he rode away again without saying a few words.Gu Yi came several times to thank me, but I refused them all. When I was in good health, I sat on the porch and watched the snowflakes fluttering. When I was in poor health, I closed my eyes and meditated.

The day passed happily.

On New Year's Eve, before I entered the palace, Gu Yi was waiting outside the door again, saying that he had something important to say to me.I met him in the study.

Gu Yi has never been a quick-tempered person, but this time he was anxious, and asked me: "Your Highness, do you know the relationship between Xia Xun, the third prince of the Xia Kingdom, and Liu Xiang?"

I found a large brush on the pen holder, filled it with ink, spread out the paper, and wrote carefully one stroke at a time, quietly listening to what he said.

"Liu Xiang is from Xia."

Solemnly wrote a horizontal line, but unfortunately lack of wrist strength, it's a pity that a blank sheet of paper was left: "Yes."

"Liu Xiang and Xia Xun are father and son."

Crumple the piece of paper just now and throw it into the wastebasket next to it.

"Xia Xun was born of Liu Xiang's adultery with Queen Xia."

Rolling out the rice paper again, this time I dare not write lightly: "How did you find out?"

Gu Yi knelt down and said, "Your Highness has the grace of saving my father's life, and my minister has the grace of knowing you. I hope your Highness should be careful about some things!"

"Since you said that this king is kind to you, I would like to remind you again, 'Take care of your Dali Temple, don't ask more questions and don't worry about the rest'."

Gu Yi still didn't give up: "Your Highness, you must be careful about this matter!"

The pen was a little blunt, and I continued: "This matter? What's the matter? I just want to get back what belongs to me, and I can't care about the rest, and I can't control it."

Gu Yi had the exact same expression as the previous emperor: "It turns out that I misjudged His Highness."

I walked through the whole process without any surprises or troubles, I put down my pen and said with a wry smile: "You have only known me for a long time, and you dare to say that you are wrong."

Gu Yi bowed his head deeply: "I am an official of the Qi State, and receive the monthly salary of the Qi State. Naturally, the people who are loyal to the Qi State are the people of the Qi State. If Your Highness harms the people of the Qi State in the future, I will definitely be extrajudicial and merciless!"

I rolled up the written words and put them in the porcelain bottle next to me: "As expected of the person who was raised up by the king himself, now he is loyal to the world and he is here to the king."

Gu Yi said: "If your Highness loses his way and doesn't know how to turn back, don't blame the minister for being ruthless!" After saying harsh words, Gu Yi walked away in a huff.

Xi Yu said at the door: "Your Highness, the presents are all ready."

"Well, let's go then!"

The majestic hall is still high above today, with concubines lined up on both sides, Yingying and Yanyan are very seductive.Xia Xun, Liu Xiang, Liu Yuan, and Han Jue are all seated, so I'm missing.

Ning Feng and Xi Yu stopped outside the door carrying two large suitcases, and I took off my cloak and stepped into the hall.

Liu Yuan chirped and said, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, is this going to move?" Liu Yuan's laughter echoed in the huge hall.

Liu Xiang glanced at Liu Yuan and shouted: "Before Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense!"

But Liu Xiang's reprimand did not calm Liu Yuan down, but made him laugh even louder.

I have always known Liu Yuan's knots, and I am not angry at the moment, I just kowtow to the present as if nothing happened.

With the sleeves covered, the voice was flat: "How is the emperor's body recently?"

I bowed my head to the ground: "It's okay."

The palace servants hurriedly helped me up and sent me to my seat. Xia Xun hurried to my side: "I was fine last night, why is it like this today?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.All the ministers have accused me, His Highness Qin Wang, of not caring about my reputation and causing trouble for the court.

I took a few breaths before recovering: "It's okay."

Xia Xun walked to the center of the hall, lifted his clothes and knelt down and said, "I have something to ask Your Majesty to fulfill!"

Today he looked at me, then at Xia Xun, and said with a light smile, "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is getting worse and worse. I want to bring him back to Xia Kingdom to recuperate. I hope His Majesty will make it happen!"

The smile deepened today, and he asked me: "Is the emperor willing?"

"Your brother is from the state of Qi, and he should die in the state of Qi."

Born as a native of Qi, die as a ghost of Qi.

But all of this seemed to be in Xia Xun's expectation, and there was no disappointment on his face.Xia Xun only lowered his eyes for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since His Highness refuses, please allow me to live in Qi State forever."

Jin Shang said with a smile: "If King Xia agrees, I have no objection."

Xia Xun continued: "I have fled to Qi for so long and my father has not sent anyone to look for me. I think my father knew my intentions and acquiesced."

Jin Shang said with a smile: "If that's the case, there is nothing wrong with you staying in my country of Qi, it's just..."

"I made this decision on my own, and life and death have nothing to do with Your Majesty!" Xia Xun said loudly, his voice spread to every corner of the hall, and everyone present could hear it clearly. This young Xia Guo with a bright future The prince said such words of life and death for their Highness King Qin.

In order to prevent the situation from expanding, I hurriedly got up and saluted: "Xia Xun is a guest of Qi State after all, and I hope that the emperor will send more people to ensure his safety."

Brother Huang smiled faintly, and said, "Your brother is right."

The singing and dancing continued, Han Jue sat next to me, looked at me with a smile, and I also smiled very copingly.Why is Xia Xun so determined to stay in Qi and by my side?Now I have to speculate on his purpose again and again.

I turned my head and saw Liu Xiangzheng raising a glass to invite me, so I held the glass in return, and accidentally caught sight of the smugness in his eyes amidst the crowds of people.

Could it be that Xia Xun is doing it for the evidence in my hand about Liu Xiang's treason and thieves?

I looked up again and saw Xia Xun and Liu Xiang facing each other across the table. They looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite happy that the plan was successful. It seems that I guessed it.

There is no care for no reason in this world, it is nothing more than you coveting my wealth and I coveting your appearance.

I looked back at Han Jue, and saw that he was looking at me with burning eyes, I waved to him, and he immediately ran over, I made room for him to sit down, and whispered: "Let's go Let's go around the back garden."

Han Jue nodded slightly.

All the trees in the palace were hung with ribbons and lanterns by the maids, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Han Jue and I walked side by side, no one said a word, the palace people around were also lonely, and there was silence.Walking on foot, when I reached the familiar lotus pond, I heard the weeping of palace people mixed with the north wind.

Han Jue and I both stopped and hid behind the rockery, but we heard the palace servants crying: "Your Highness, my servant, you are wronged to die! Back then, you were framed by Concubine Liu and said that you had an affair with Second Highness." You died wronged, the matter between you and the Second Highness is really not what the slave said, if you know anything about it, go to the person who killed you, and don't come to the slave again..."

I froze in place like five thunderbolts, Brother Huang was killed by someone!Brother Huang was killed by Concubine Liu!Even though I know that the emperor's brother and Concubine Liu have always had conflicts, I never thought that she would kill my emperor's brother!I listened intently again, hoping to hear more information.

The palace man burned a few more pieces of yellow paper: "I have served you for more than ten years before, and I hope you will see that there is no credit but hard work, so don't come to this slave's dream again. This slave also knows that you miss His Highness the Second Highness. Your Highness, he is very good, but after your death, Second Highness's behavior became more and more upside down."

I took three steps in parallel and grabbed the palace man by his collar and dragged him up: "How did brother Huang die!"

The man in the palace had already turned pale with fright, his legs were trembling and he couldn't exert his strength: "Slave... Slave doesn't know anything!"

I don't know where the strength came from, so I dipped him in the lotus pond with one hand, and when he was about to suffocate, I lifted him up and asked, "I ask you, how did my brother die!"

"Second Highness, this servant really doesn't know!" Still not telling the truth.

I pushed him into the lotus pond again, and said harshly: "Say yes, don't tell!"

The palace man struggled with his hands and tore off a piece of my clothes. I looked at the broken piece in his hand and began to understand: Brother Huang was drowned in the lotus pond!

The palace man finally began to beg for mercy: "The servant said...the servant said..."

The palace man was still standing in the lotus pond, and the thin ice in the lotus pond was cracked by his struggle just now, as if he wanted to swallow people alive.

"Say it!" I looked at him.

The palace servant shivered and tried to recall the past: "Actually, the current emperor and Liu Xiang have known each other for a long time."

"Before I met Jinshang?"

The palace man carefully replied: "Yes."

"What does this have to do with my brother?"

The palace man sneezed and continued: "The slave used to go out of the palace with His Royal Highness to do business, and accidentally met Liu Xiang and the current Holy Majesty, and heard their plan, which paved the way for His Royal Highness' death later. .”

"What are they planning?"

"This..." The palace man hesitated.

"Say!"

"The current emperor is the prince who was left behind by the former emperor. Liu Xiang met the emperor who came to Chang'an to recognize his relatives by chance. The two planned to force the palace to usurp the throne. His majesty knew about this matter, and since then he has been collecting Liu Xianger everywhere. The evidence of man's rebellion did not reveal himself until that day when His Highness was rescued in the Xianning Palace..."

So it turns out, everything turns out to be the way it is, the first meeting between Qi Rong and Changjie seems to be unintentional, but in fact it was all intentional, Qi Rong and the farmer and flower planter in my house, showing no desire for anything, turned out to be both In order to win my trust!He was sure that I would be tempted by him, and he was sure that I was cowardly!

It turns out that all the coincidences in the world are intentional!

"Qi Rongyu is really so ruthless!" My heart wrinkled into a ball, and an indescribable pain rose from my heart. I let go of the hand holding the palace man's collar, and wiped away my tears: "Go back."

"Second Highness, you must kill Qi Rong and Liu Xiang to avenge His Highness!" But the palace servant was reluctant to leave, and sank to the bottom of the lotus pond without a trace.

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry, Brother Huang!" Losing his mind at this moment, he couldn't say anything else, he just repeated the words "Brother Huang, I'm sorry".Until now, the royal driver came here.
