Chapter 17, It's a pity that it's very different
The night was getting deeper and the candlelight was swaying. In the Han Palace, Lu Zhaoyi and Xia Yuancheng sat side by side.
And what they faced was Xia Sheng who woke up in the middle of the night.
As soon as he walked into the hall, his affectionate eyes kept looking at Lu Zhaoyi, and even his cousin greeted him, he never took a moment to say hello to him.
Being watched like this made Lu Zhaoyi feel uncomfortable, feeling upset inside, and she said in her heart that she shouldn't have come to look for him today.
On the other hand, Xia Sheng also saw that he knew that he was not favored, so he once regained his expression and bit his lip.
"Gu heard that Qifuta Bunie was assassinated. If you don't catch the assassin, why do you come to Gu's Han Palace?"
Qifutabuni is the name of the envoy of the Tuoba tribe.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoyi quickly responded, "We have received news that the first person Tuoba Envoy to meet before entering Luojing is you!"
"Ha, Gu thought it was something!" Xia Sheng chuckled and ignored it. "Gu has seen him once, so when I see him, it means that I am suspected of treason?"
This does not really mean that he had collusion with the Xianbei people.
And when she looked at Xia Sheng, she had some hesitation in her eyes.
With the current state and expression that Xia Sheng showed, what he said was not fake, and this also made her feel a little relaxed.
"Did I say you have any suspicion of treason? As the responsibility of Taiqu Pavilion, you are indeed suspicious of King Han. Therefore, please tell me, what have you and the envoy talked about?"
Xia Sheng stared at her with a slightly amusing expression and her expression was extremely relaxed. "Is there any problem with treating each other with courtesy for the Gentile envoys?"
He looked lazy and put his arm on the table. He didn't even squint his eyes, but he seemed to be extremely provocative.
At this time, Xia Yuancheng, who had been silent, couldn't help but slammed the table and stood up to question, "It's wrong for cousin Han Wang to do this..... Lady Lu is the future sister-in-law and your future sister-in-law. You can't play with your future sister-in-law like this..."
This question made both of them confused on the spot.
Lu Zhaoyi opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment, then shouted in surprise, "It's not easy to hear the word "future" in your mouth, I'm very pleased."
Her words made Xia Yuancheng confused. He always felt that these words were still ridiculing him.
Xia Sheng coughed his throat, made a new posture, changed into a majestic posture, and said indifferently, "Yuan Cheng speaks in a tender manner, the seventh lady doesn't need to worry about it. My eldest brother asked him to be the Taiqu Pavilion Order, and he was already interested in his pure and kind nature and easy to control..."
"You..." Xia Yuancheng's face turned red, "At least I am familiar with ancient books and laws, I... I want to be serious, I am afraid of myself..."
"Then you move, let me see my cousin!" Xia Sheng's tone was not strong from beginning to end, and every sentence was extremely gentle, but he was not as gentle as a scholar, so he could still tell his temper.
On the contrary, Xia Yuancheng was full of ink and had never been to the battlefield. All his understanding of the outside world was through the words on the bamboo slips and was unresolved.
In Lu Zhaoyi's opinion, it is the most literal way to put him in the position of Taiqu Pavilion.
It will not make the royal family aware of the suppression, and there will be room for each other without having to point at the tip of the point.
Perhaps, this is Xia Pei, who treats his own family and governs the world.
It is true that Lu Zhaoyi just understood it, and was not as blunt as Xia Sheng, which hurt Xia Yuancheng's honest heart.
"George, sit down!" She spoke in time and pulled back the indignant Xia Yuancheng, "Some things are not in a hurry, and solve the things in front of her first."
Lu Zhaoyi's words were nothing more than taking this opportunity to divert attention and divert Xia Yuancheng's attention.
He sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and drank a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "As the Taiqu Pavilion Order, I want to do my job impartially. Cousin Han Wang, if you really treason, I will forgive you for being ruthless."
Xia Sheng gave up and suddenly showed weakness, "What the Pavilion Order said is very
Yes, but Guzhen is not familiar with Qifutabuni, and I went to see him because it was my elder brother's will. Can Gu not obey?"
"Your Majesty?" Lu Zhaoyi was surprised.
He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and raised a curve, "Don't you believe it? Do you know if you go and ask?"
"Okay!" Lu Zhaoyi stood up and prepared to leave with Xia Yuancheng, and blessed her with her. "Late at night, please forgive me... Pavilion order, let's go!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he had not yet walked far, Xia Sheng suddenly rushed to them and faced Lu Zhaoyi's eyes.
"Seventh Lady... I came back from Wuwei, Liangzhou, and it seemed that everything had changed. Yang Wenxu was so. He stayed silent and didn't want to see him. Gu really became a lonely man."
These remarks made her feel very ridiculous.
Everything he did in Chang'an, Guanzhong, conspired with Yang Xian and Cui Qingshuang, and used her power and prestige to form cliques in Guanzhong. Now she blamed her for not understanding him, which was really funny.
She raised her eyes and still had a kind smile, "Does Han King only care about himself and others when doing things? Piaoxue Tower, the branch and branch of the World Alliance in Guanzhong, have been forced to move out due to your conflict of interest. Below the Thirteen Prefectures, there is no Piaoxue Tower and the World Alliance... Are Han King still satisfied with these?"
"No..." Xia Sheng tried his best to defend himself, "It's not like this. Seventh Lady, we are allies, mine is yours... As long as you promise not to marry your eldest brother, Yongzhou, I will give it back to you..."
"Forget it!" Lu Zhaoyi looked away and stopped looking at him. "After all, it's different things and unconspiring. The people that King Han wants to win over are the ones that I, Lu Qiniang, must be defeated. How do we become allies?"
"You want to defeat them? Why?" Xia Sheng didn't understand.
In his understanding, those people are the foundation of the country. Without aristocratic families, how can there be the people in the world? Without the control of aristocratic families, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
He doesn't understand, and wants to figure it out.
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing that he got closer and closer, Xia Yuancheng appeared in time, blocking the two of them, tilting his head and his eyes were full of hostility, "She is the future sister-in-law, I really can't tolerate being rude to her... Cousin Hanwang, if you don't respect yourself, I will call the yamen runner..." Chinese website
The officials of the Taiqu Pavilion Yamen were spread all over Luojing City tonight. In the middle of the night, as long as he called, the nearby yamen runners would hear it immediately and come.
He can no longer let Lu Zhaoyi be bullied like this. If she suffers grievances, he will definitely complain to Xia Pei!
"snort!"
Seeing Xia Yuancheng protecting her, Xia Sheng snorted coldly, "Do you think you can stop it?"
"Dare you?" His eyes widened.
"Boy, you can try it..." Xia Pei glanced at him disdainfully, and then, a group of sword-holding guards emerged everywhere in the courtyard, surrounding them.
Xia Sheng chuckled, and a strong sense of hostility turned into his eyes, which seemed to be different from the face he had shown to the world before.
"Qianniang, don't leave tonight. How about staying in Gu's Han Wang Mansion? Gu, I want you to be the most enviable woman in the world..."
There was a little chill in Lu Zhaoyi's eyes, and her throat couldn't help but feel pain and itchy. An inexplicable fear poured into her brain from her chest.
"King Han, why did you become like this?"
Xia Yuancheng was so scared that he didn't dare to move. For the first time, he saw his cousin with such a face and immediately shouted for help.
"The Taiqu Pavilion yamen runners listen to the order, this Pavilion's order is here..."
When he shouted, his throat became hoarse, causing the tone he shouted was familiar with, and no one responded.
"hehe!"
At this critical moment, a loud mixed sound came from a distance, "If I come and try... I tell you how King Han will deal with it..."
This sound is so familiar...
But Lu Zhaoyi immediately listened carefully and was very familiar with her. She immediately became much more energetic.
"You..." Xia Sheng was surprised, "Why did Henan Yin visit late at night?"
The person coming was Li Qian.
He walked in a hurry and had a strong body. He rushed into the Han Palace with a group of soldiers and guards in armor and took down a group of sword-holding guards.
These military guards are the only troops in Dayuan that are not under the control of the Xia clan. They are indeed the Lingwu Army of the original Ling Kingdom, which is under the army directly controlled by the Fifth Langya.
Military power represents checks and balances. Since the unification of the world, even Duke Wu and His Majesty are afraid of it.
Since Li Qian was able to bring out this part of the military guards, it proved in a certain sense that he was the designated successor of the Fifth Langya.
Xia Sheng is not stupid either. In Luojing, no matter who is in this kind of power, he must give in to the king, let alone him, who is nominally powerless and powerful?
"So it's Gong Li, what's wrong with you entering the orphan prince's mansion?" Xia Sheng asked a little solemnly.
"Your Majesty's order to order Taiqu Chief Lady Lu to enter Xuanwu Temple to investigate the case!"
As he said that, he ran into an edict before everyone, "You can see clearly, this is the imperial pen of Your Majesty. I hope you will retreat quickly and let Madam Lu take over the case as soon as possible. If something goes wrong, I will ask you."
His words were so powerful that everyone was shocked.
Lu Zhaoyi's heart thumped, and she hurriedly fell to the ground, "I received the order!"
After taking the imperial edict, she opened it and looked at it. She saw it clearly. It was indeed Xia Peiyu's pen.
But she didn't figure it out. This time, Xia Pei saved her or Li Qian in front of her.
The fast horse whipped, and three horses walked through Luojing City at night. Li Qian led the way forward, and Lu Zhaoyi and Xia Yuancheng followed closely behind.
On their way to Xuanwuguan, they had a brief exchange.
The envoy confirmed that he had died, and the place of death was in Guan. He also confirmed with the inner supervisor in the palace that Xia Pei did send King Han to entertain the envoy.
However, they didn't know if there was something wrong with it, but this was by no means a coincidence!
Until he arrived outside Xuanwu Temple, everything here completely shocked Lu Zhaoyi.
Chapter completed!
