When the king of northern Xinjiang entered Beijing, he was very high-profile, and there were hundreds of envoys who came together, and the envoys received the instructions of the king of northern Xinjiang, and at the banquet, they praised Si Huazhen.

"Although the prince encountered difficulties before, he was still able to maintain his original intention, not only to arrest the thief, but also to be magnanimous, asking His Majesty to open the net and let go of the innocent people implicated by the thief. Xiang Nan, as the leader of this envoy group, is naturally eloquent.

After hearing Xiang Nan praise Si Huazhen like this, the anger and hatred in his heart were even stronger, and he said with a smile: "Yes, I am also happy and proud that my dynasty can have such a talent as Ah Zhen. ”

The queen sat beside the emperor, and naturally could feel that the emperor was in a very bad mood at the moment, and the momentum exuded by her body was also terrifying.

The queen lowered her eyebrows and played her part, never saying a word, only pausing for a moment when she met the gaze of the person below, and then quickly moved her gaze away.

Xiang Nan was clever and tongued, and within half an hour of the banquet, he won a lot of rewards and compensation for Si Huazhen.

Si Huazhen laughed at this, unceremoniously accepted it all, and at the end he got a cheap price and said obediently: "Your Majesty's imperial grace is vast, and the courtiers will remember it in their hearts, and they will not dare to forget it." ”

The emperor was almost angry and wounded, but he still had to keep his face calm, and it was only in the middle of the banquet that he was able to leave the banquet first under the pretext of being unwell.

The Emperor's departure did not have any impact on the banquet, on the contrary, because of his departure, the atmosphere of the banquet, which was originally quite formal, instantly became lively.

The ministers who had been grass on the wall and went to curry favor with Si Yuanqiong turned their heads to Si Huazhen, and because of the presence of the king of Northern Xinjiang, they had enough energy to curry favor with Si Huazhen.

Si Yuanqiong looked at Si Huazhen's unrivaled appearance coldly, he really underestimated Si Huazhen, originally thought that Si Huazhen was busy currying favor with Bai Weiying, so he didn't care about anything else.

Now it seems that he is afraid that the moment Si Huazhen handed over the fake city defense map to the emperor, he has already thought of a way to deal with it.

Si Yuanqiong secretly hated Si Huazhen's tricks, but the matter was a foregone conclusion, no matter how dissatisfied he was, it would be useless.

"Lord Wang, something happened." Liu Xiang hurriedly walked in from the side door of the palace, walked quickly to Si Yuanqiong's ear, and whispered to him.

Si Yuanqiong listened, and the cold light condensed in her eyes turned into substance and shot towards Si Huazhen.

Si Huazhen seemed to feel something, turned his head unhurriedly, and smiled indifferently at Si Yuanqiong.

Si Yuanqiong Xu was stimulated by Si Huazhen's appearance, or maybe many things that happened today were contrary to his original intention, Si Yuanqiong didn't want to stay in the hall anymore, so he walked out of the main hall with his sleeves up.

Si Huazhen glanced at the back of Si Yuanqiong's departure, and then retracted his gaze, as if nothing had happened, and continued to drink wine with the king of Northern Xinjiang.

"How many of our people are there in the palace now?" Walking to a secluded place where no one was around, Si Yuanqiong asked in a cold voice.

Liu Xiang replied stubbornly: "There are less than ten people, and most of the previous dark piles were dug up by King Jingping's people, and then they were used by various means and quietly disappeared into the palace. ”

This was the case with the little eunuch who had tried to deliver the secret message to them, and as soon as he had passed it out on his front foot, the news of his violent death came the next day.

In this deep palace, no one cares about the life or death of a eunuch.

Liu Xiang originally thought that this was just a coincidence, after all, the little eunuch had already sent the news, if he had the intention to intercept the news transmission, he was afraid that he would have been disposed of before he left Li Yanran's palace gate.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the previous contact between Si Yuanqiong and the dark pile was once every half a month, and during this period, everything was calm.

Therefore, when Liu Xiang took the opportunity to enter the palace today to make routine inquiries, he learned that in the half month after the death of the little eunuch, one after another dark piles were forced to surface.

Among them, Li Yanran appeared the most often.

"Li Yanran ......" Si Yuanqiong slowly read Li Yanran's name, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth became more and more weird and terrifying, "She is a good dog raised by Bai Weiying and Si Huazhen, this king can be regarded as a master this time, this has hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and he has lost most of the dark piles he raised, which is really a lesson." ”

Si Yuanqiong counted the account on Li Yanran's head this time, plus the secret letter from the little eunuch before, saying that Li Yanran provoked his relationship with the emperor, and Si Yuanqiong was even more eager to get rid of Li Yanran.

"That'...... Do we want to ......" Liu Xiang spoke at the right time and made a gesture to wipe her neck, "She has repeatedly spoiled us, and she must be removed as soon as possible." ”

"There's no hurry." Si Yuanqiong seemed to think of something, and continued: "Her purpose in entering the palace is nothing more than to find out who the murderer who killed her whole family tragically, we can just use this opportunity to let her kill herself." ”

"What do you mean......" Liu Xiang didn't finish the rest of the words, but the meaning revealed in them was self-evident.

The dark clouds gradually covered the bright moon, making it even more dull and gloomy.

After the banquet, Si Huazhen and Qianhui were able to leave the palace, while the king of Beijiang stayed in the palace and was treated by the emperor with the envoys.

On the carriage, Si Huazhen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and thousands of times realized that he was out of the limelight today, and asked Si Huazhen for credit: "Ah Zhen, are you still satisfied with today's results?" With Father here, you don't have to worry about anything, I will always support you behind you. ”

When Si Huazhen heard this, he opened his eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "That's natural, thank you Hui'er for helping." ”

Si Huazhen's attitude is not warm, but it is much better than the previous estrangement.

Seeing this, Qianhui was even more flattered and replied: "You and I are husband and wife, where do you need to say thank you?" If only you knew what I wanted for you. ”

Because Qianhui lowered his head, he didn't notice the inexplicably complicated expression on Si Huazhen's face when he looked at her.

After returning to the palace, Si Huazhen first sent Qianhui back to the courtyard where she lived, and then turned around and walked towards the study.

"Liufeng, tell our people to protect Li Yanran." In this incident, Li Yanran played a vital role, if it weren't for her help, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

It's just that Li Yanran helped Si Huazhen, but she completely offended Si Yuanqiong, according to Si Yuanqiong's temperament, she will definitely not let Li Yanran go.

Moreover, Li Yanran has a close relationship with Bai Weiying, even if it is Aiwu and Wu, Si Huazhen will send someone to protect Li Yanran secretly.
