Chapter 67: Shocked!

Gonggong Feng's voice was extremely loud, and at the moment when the holy decree unfolded, this kind eyebrow and kind eye, simple and cute eunuch like Maitreya Buddha, suddenly seemed to be a different person.

The whole person became extremely majestic and unfathomable, and his whole body exuded a mighty aura, which made people dare not face it.

"Your Highness, take the order. ”

After reading the holy decree, Gonggong Feng changed back to that amiable appearance, bowed down to look at the prince, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty means that you will go to work after you tie your hair, although there is still more than a month, but Your Highness must also prepare early." ”

"What?!"

Xia Qing was taken aback at first when he heard that he was going to leave Shangjing, and was about to speak, but under the strong eyes of Gonggong Feng, he took back the words that had just come to his mouth.

"The retainer's order. Xia Qing took the holy decree, and her delicate little face turned bitter gourd color, and she was powerless.

"Hehe, the old slave wishes His Highness his coming of age first. Gonggong Feng smiled slightly, beckoned back, and said: "Your Highness, the barren state is a barren land, and the conditions are not as good as the capital. ”

Behind Gonggong Feng, a palace maid with a beautiful face stepped forward, holding a silver plate in her hand, on which was placed a brocade box, it seemed that the elixir should be in it.

It's these things again...... Xia Qing muttered in his heart, but he still took it and said respectfully: "Thank you for the gift of my father, long live my father, long live my father." ”

"Huh. ”

Gonggong Feng nodded with satisfaction, but there was a trace of worry flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Arashu Metropolitan Protectorate...... Before the holy decree was opened, even he didn't know the specific content of it, and he didn't expect that Emperor Xia would let the crown prince go to Huangzhou.

"Uncle Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we didn't see you last night, you can stay here today and play with me. Xia Qing's big eyes blinked, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of innocent smile, pulling at Gonggong Feng's sleeve coquettishly.

"Oh, Your Highness, how can you still be like a child when you are almost an adult. Gonggong Feng looked up to the sky and smiled, with a doting smile on his face, but his expression was extremely respectful, and he bowed to Xia Qing and said, "Your Majesty still has important matters over there, so the miscellaneous family will not bother." ”

After that, Gonggong Feng deliberately glanced at Li Yiqi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and saw that the latter's eyes were closed, his expression was as usual, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of surprise, and he took a deep look and left.

After Gonggong Feng left, Li Yiqi slowly got up from the ground, his closed eyes opened slightly, his eyes were contemplative, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Deserted Prefecture Protectorate?!"

Han Li and Dong Xiong, the two palace guards, also walked in from outside the door at this time, their faces were stunned for a while, looking at the crown prince Xia Qing, looking like they wanted to say something and stopped, as if they didn't know what to say.

Xia Qing held the golden scroll of the Holy Decree in one hand and the brocade box containing the elixir in the other, his dark eyes blinked, and he asked in confusion; Two generals, is there any problem?"

The two looked at each other, and when they saw the wry smile in each other's eyes, they shook their heads and remained silent.

Xia Qing's black and white eyes blinked, glanced at the two of them suspiciously, muttered two sentences, turned to look at Li Yiqi, but found that his face was pale at the moment, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Are you alright?" Xia Qing's slender fan-like eyelashes blinked twice, and his voice was a little nervous.

Li Yiqi shook his head silently, did not speak, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

"A complete defeat. For a long time, he muttered these four words out of his mouth, and his voice was like a mosquito, so slight that he could barely hear it.

He has made so much effort and spent so much effort, the purpose is to assist the prince to ascend to the throne, so that the Li family can be invincible without being swayed by the court situation in the future.

As a result, Emperor Xia's holy decree made all his previous efforts in vain.

The so-called seizure of succession is actually a process of buying people's hearts.

Whoever can win the love of the courtiers, who can please the Xia Emperor, will be able to sit on the dragon chair next!

In this process, the power that the younger disciples of the family can use is extremely limited, and there is not much help they can give to those princes, as long as those giants in the court have not yet expressed their position, everything is unknown.

However, in this fratricidal struggle, there is always one person's attitude that is the most critical, and that is - Emperor Xia.

As the three inland protectorates of Great Xia, the Huangzhou Metropolitan Protectorate has 300,000 soldiers and horses, only half of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and less than a quarter of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

Moreover, because the millions of mountains in the southwest adjacent to Huangzhou are the territory of the demon clan, and the demon clan is not naturally fond of dealing with the human race, they are basically cowering in the millions of mountains, which makes it rare for the Annan Protectorate to fight a battle all year round.

If Emperor Xia had the intention of letting the crown prince inherit the throne, or if he took a step back and allowed the prince to participate in the struggle for the throne, then he would not arrange the prince to go to the Huangzhou Metropolitan Protectorate.

Let the prince go to Huangzhou to supervise the army, not to mention fishing for military exploits and building prestige, I am afraid that after half a year, the civil and military officials in the court will forget the existence of such a number one person as the prince.

Sending the crown prince to Huangzhou, nominally as an overseer, can actually be seen as a distribution. This holy decree about the prince's adult experience has already shown Emperor Xia's intentions.

Emperor Xia, I don't want the crown prince Xia Qing to inherit the throne in the future!

If the prince was smarter, he should be cold in his heart at the moment, but ...... Li Yiqi turned his eyes and looked at the prince silently, but found that the latter was also blinking at him with big eyes, looking puzzled.

Seeing this scene, the last glimmer of light in Li Yiqi's eyes seemed to be about to dissipate, and his delicate cheeks revealed a touch of complexity, and he sighed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't bear to say the deep meaning contained in Emperor Xia's holy decree.

"Go down. Li Yiqi waved his hand at Han Li and Dong Xiong.

The two understood, and then bowed slightly to the prince and Li Yiqi, and stood back outside the main hall. The two of them also sighed in their hearts, thinking that they would be able to return to the barracks after following the prince's experience and find their share of blood that belonged to them in the past, but the prince fell out of favor, and their dream of returning to the battlefield was shattered.

Li Yiqi stared at Xia Qing for a long time, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile, and said calmly: "Why did Your Highness come back so late last night?"

He didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only forcibly find a topic without a topic.

"You're embarrassed to say that when the palace came out, I found that you left early, and the palace went to the inner court to ask for a carriage. Xia Qing's slender eyelashes blinked, his bright eyes were raised, and he glared at him angrily.

"I waited for His Highness for a long time last night, and I thought His Highness was staying in the palace last night. Li Yiqi held back the sadness in his heart and tried his best to make his voice sound calmer.

"Hmph, if you don't admit that you did something wrong, this palace is too lazy to pay attention to you. Xia Qing's eyes revealed a hint of naughtiness, gave him a blank look, put his hands behind his back angrily, and turned his head to the other side.

Hearing this, Li Yiqi touched the tip of his nose and smiled bitterly, but did not explain anything.

Suddenly, he found that Xia Qing seemed to have a different kind of fragrance on his body, which was extremely attractive, and the tip of his nose couldn't help twitching, and he said with a surprised face: "Your Highness, you are so fragrant, what kind of smell?"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the brocade box that the prince was holding in his small hand, but the brocade box had not yet been opened, and even if the elixir in it tasted fragrant, it was impossible to disperse it.

Xia Qing was slightly stunned, suddenly her cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled and said, "Last night, the queen mother helped the palace to bathe her hair, and the smell of hair." ”

"You still stayed in the palace to take a bath......" Li Yiqi smacked his tongue secretly, this prince, he doesn't know anything, he will enjoy it......

"What's the matter, it's just Mu Fa. Xia Qing subconsciously touched the black hair on the back of his head, and his white fingers inadvertently touched the turquoise hairpin.

The hairpin was loose, and the black hair like a waterfall fell from the top of her head, and a gust of wind blew, and the green silk fluttered in the air.

Although she has been dressed as a man for many years, Li Yiqi didn't know that at the moment when the hairpin was moved, Li Yiqi only felt a trance in front of him.

"You ......" Li Yiqi's pupils shrank slightly, and his mind shook suddenly, and in an instant, because of the shock in his heart, there was a brief blank in his mind.

He took a step backwards, and before he could say the word 'who is it?' was swallowed back into his stomach.

Hearing Li Yiqi's exclamation, Prince Xia Qing inserted the hairpin back of his head, and at the same time couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

At the former's stunned gaze, her eyes widened and she asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Li Yiqi didn't speak, just took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes violently, and looked at it fixedly, his face changed suddenly.

"No way. Li Yiqi had a ghostly expression on his face and couldn't help muttering.

Last moment, he clearly saw that the prince had turned into a young girl, but now, the prince had changed back to the appearance of a handsome young man.

Seeing Li Yiqi's strange appearance, Xia Qing immediately seemed to think of something, his face suddenly changed slightly, his lips opened lightly, and he asked in a nervous whisper, "You...... Are you alright?"

Her beautiful eyes stared at Li Yiqi without blinking, her crystal clear black eyes flashed with a nervous look, and while speaking, she subconsciously raised her hand and touched the hairpin that had been fixed behind her head, and her heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen mother said that as long as the 'blue shadow hairpin' is in her body, no one in the world will be able to recognize her identity.

"......" Li Yiqi was silent when he heard this, he pursed his lips lightly, a keen light flashed in his dark eyes, and he looked at the prince intently.

From the bottom of his heart, the prince's appearance is definitely not bad.

The skin is delicate and fair, the facial features are delicate and handsome, the eyelashes are slender like a fan, and a pair of black and bright eyes like obsidian are black and white, big and spiritual.

However, Li Yiqi is sure that he saw an incredible scene just now-

The prince suddenly turned into a girlish appearance in front of his eyes.

The girl has a beautiful face, a pair of dark eyes, a high nose bridge, small red lips, like a burning flame, exquisite and beautiful, like a fairy in the painting.

It's just that...... If the prince is a daughter, how can he be called the prince?

That's got to be called a princess!

Thinking of this, Li Yiqi couldn't help frowning, as if he felt that he was too tired, so he was dazzled.

"Just now...... Weichen was dazzled. Li Yiqi looked embarrassed, and he really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Yes......" Hearing this, the crown prince Xia Qing bit his thin lip, his eyes wandered, he raised his head, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Last night, my father's birthday, this palace ...... That didn't have a good night's rest last night. ”

After that, Xia Qing smiled at Li Yiqi, at this moment, Li Yiqi seemed to feel that his spirit was a little trance, in front of his eyes, the prince became the girl he saw just now, the girl smiled, and the beauty of her face overshadowed all the women in the world.

"Hell yes. Li Yiqi's face suddenly appeared a hint of crimson, and he rubbed his forehead violently, feeling that there were no more distracting thoughts in his heart, before he arched his hand and bowed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, Wechen didn't rest well last night, he was a little tired, if His Highness has no other instructions, Wechen will retreat first." ”

With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Staying any longer, he was afraid that he would see something stranger again.

"Wait. ”

Suddenly, Xia Qing stopped Li Yiqi, handed over the brocade box in his hand, and said, "You can take this thing too." ”
