Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Xiao Rui looked back and saw that Yan Xiaoxiao had already walked to his side.

"Little is here." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Yan Xiaoxiao held the sweet soup and said, "I saw that His Highness had little to eat for dinner, so I prepared some sweet soup, which I made with my own hands, would you like to taste it?" ”

"Okay!" Xiao Rui took the sweet soup and tasted it.

Seeing Xiao Rui eating so happily, Yan Xiaoxiao's heart was like eating honey, but sending sweet soup was just a trivial matter, and there was one more thing she was hesitating, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Xiao Rui noticed that she wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "Something on your mind?" There are no outsiders here, and I'm a good listener. ”

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Your Highness, it's not about me, but... But today's queen mother came strangely, and it is estimated that she was instructed by someone in the dark, so the slave guessed that after the queen mother returned to Changchun Palace, she would definitely contact the messenger with what she saw today. I was worried that the queen mother would be unfavorable to Her Royal Highness, so I bought the female officials of Changchun Palace slightly and simply, so do you need a slave to inquire? ”

Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Xiaoxiao really grew up, and he was able to reach the queen's side, which was really beyond Xiao Rui's expectations!

At the same time, Xiao Rui felt warm, Xiaoxiao had to believe in herself to dare to tell these words, I heard that she heard that she was unconscious, so she gave up everything and ran over, and when she came to the East Palace, her legs were frightened and weak, and she cried vigorously, is this friendship just because she saved her?

Xiao Rui is not a straight man of steel, he has long known Xiaoxin's intentions, it's just, Xiaoxiao's current position is a female official of the Heart Cultivation Palace, which is not easy to do, it seems that he has to find a way to transfer her out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but how to explain to His Majesty that this is the most difficult thing to do.

"Your Majesty has asked Hai Dafu to send someone to investigate, if you can't find anything, you will hand it over to Xiaoxiao." Xiao Rui said.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, as long as she could help Xiao Rui, even if it was an unknown help, she was willing.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about other things, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, all the small things are vain, and you will definitely not be able to fight Your Highness!" Yan Xiaoxiao believed.

Xiao Rui immediately stretched his eyebrows.

He does have something on his mind, the queen came to test this time, and the result of the involvement is that Yasukuni has a problem, so he wants to investigate Yasukuni, but what about the others?

From the earliest time to compete for the crown prince, Xiao Rui defeated all the princes, and now he has finally become the prince, but he finds that the enemies are far more than those he once was, and the strength of the other party is very strong.

First of all, Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin, these two are not fuel-efficient lamps.

King Ruyang is even more mysterious, and only now can he clear the clouds and gradually see his true face. But because His Majesty was involved, it was likely to be His Majesty's plan back then, so Xiao Rui didn't dare to investigate in depth.

Now he has run out of Yasukuni again. Because of Xiao Yan's relationship, Xiao Rui felt that Yasukuni Gong was a good person, but he really didn't have the slightest affection to kill himself.

Is there anyone else besides them?

If you don't take the throne for a day, you will be the enemy of everyone, maybe this is the experience and tribulation.

As the queen said, Your Majesty does not appoint your son-in-law as the crown prince, this is unruly, since Your Majesty does not follow the rules, how can the other sons be convinced? So what's wrong with conspiring to fight for the throne?

At this moment, Xiao Rui understood why in ancient times there would be no heirs, no young, and identity was even more important than meritocracy, because this is a rule, a rule to ensure stability.

Just like Li Shimin and Zhu Di, even if they snatched the throne, they were also severely criticized by the history books, and even the throne was not at ease, for fear of being sorry for the people and the country. When he is old, he is worried about whether future generations will learn from him.

Yan Xiaoxiao's words reminded Xiao Rui, why worry too much, since it is an enemy, then kill the other party, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there is a pot everywhere if you are urgent, the strategists and fierce generals around you are like clouds, and there is a system that has been dead for a long time without squeaking, will you send Xiaoxiao?

As the leader of the previous life said: Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggle with the ground, the fun is endless! Struggle with people, the fun is endless!

So what is the disaster of the Xiaoice period!

What are the enemy nations around you!

What is the enemy beside you!

If you don't have any enemies in this life, you're as lonely as you are without friends.

Fight up, Ollie give!

……

The next day, the morning court was cancelled again, and yesterday many officials who asked to see His Majesty, but did not see him, including several other cabinet scholars.

These cabinet scholars are involved in a lot of relationships, so they have always concealed it, and the four of them also have a lot of suspicions, but let alone Your Majesty, even Li Mingchong can't see anyone.

And on the new day, several other princes also came to see His Majesty, including Xiao Feng and Xiao Jing, but they were all turned away, causing everyone to wonder.

What the hell is going on?

At the same time, the people sent by Hai Dafu to investigate the queen returned in vain, mainly because they were afraid of startling the snake, and the people sent by Hai Dafu did not dare to coerce or lure the queen's henchmen and female officials, for fear of startling the snake, and it was not clear to ask ordinary female officials, although the forbidden army secretly monitored the movements of Changchun Palace, and the entry and exit of each palace maid, eunuch, and female official were recorded, but they could not prevent the other party from passing on the news.

Since Hai Dafu had no results, Xiao Rui secretly asked Yan Xiaoxiao to try it, and told her that she must keep it secret, once the queen was alerted, it would be wasted.

A secluded mansion.

Lu Pheasant has been locked up for several days, during this time he pretended to be Lu Su, although he was imprisoned, he was rare and relaxed, he had nothing to read, write and write, and he became Lu Su, no longer the Lu Pheasant with secrets. It turned out that it was really easy after putting it down.

At the same time, she was secretly worried, not knowing what the situation in the palace was. All this started because of her, and I hope that this time it will end because of her, and the people I care about, the people I like, will be fine.

In the room not far away, after Lu Ao heard the news that the middle-aged man said that Emperor Xia was dead, a look of surprise appeared on his originally calm face, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and then bowed deeply to the north and said: "My emperor is above, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and finally completed the important task of His Majesty!" ”

After speaking, Lu Ao burst into tears, and then bowed deeply to the middle-aged man, and bowed: "Sir, please don't forget the agreement between you and me, when His Royal Highness ascends the throne, Daxia will withdraw the army!" Our Qi country is willing to cede the territory south of Jinzhou, form a brotherly alliance between the two countries, and never turn our backs. ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Sir, please get up, I will not forget the agreement, when the new emperor ascends the throne and the dust falls, it will be the time for the champion Hou to withdraw his army." ”

Lu Ao nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Since Emperor Xia is dead, according to the time, Xiao Rui will also have to die tonight!" The three-day soul breaking is not as poisonous as the poison, there is no cure except the antidote, my task is over, and now it depends on Mr. to play. ”

The middle-aged man responded: "It has been arranged, although there will be some waves, but the general trend has been decided, there is a queen who is the mother of a country, the prince is dead, and Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, also knows how to measure, does he dare to choose the other princes?" Finally, there is Xiao Mingying. With my father's close relationship with him, it should be easy to get him. So as long as you lure several other princes into the palace and imprison them, you will have no worries. ”

Lu Ao admired: "Mr. is resourceful, and quietly helped His Royal Highness Jiu to win the throne, which is really high!" ”

"Haha... Mr. Lu was polite, and I have to thank Mr. Lu for his great help and come to have a drink together. The middle-aged man laughed.

The two toasted each other and drank it all.

"Sir, are you going to deal with Lu Su? Just let it go, or..."The middle-aged man asked.

The corners of Lu Ao's mouth flashed with coldness, and he said, "What are you doing alive?" It's better to accompany his sister to death together, it just happens that the sisterhood is deep. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, admiring Lu Ao's decisiveness.

What happened inside the Imperial Palace was also secretly discussed in Kyoto.

After Duanwang Xiao Feng was under martial law at the palace gate, he heard the news, and he expected something to happen at that time. Later, when Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie, and Princess Yuqing asked to see and were turned away, until now, His Majesty has canceled the early dynasty twice, and all signs indicate that there is a big problem in the palace.

What could that be?

Xiao Feng was smart, but he didn't have a clue at this time, he wondered if His Majesty was sick, and the situation was more serious. As for the speculation that His Majesty is "dead", Xiao Feng has not thought about it at all.

After being puzzled, Xiao Feng went to the Ruyang Palace.

During this time, the king of Ruyang was very low-key, living in a shallow place, completely idle, and the sudden visit of King Duan was expected by him, and he received Xiao Feng in the teahouse.

The two chatted while sipping tea.

"Lord Wang, what happened in the palace?" Xiao Feng didn't foreshadow, and directly asked the purpose of the trip.

King Ruyang shook his head and said, "I don't know! However, the blockade of the palace gate is a change that occurred after His Majesty went to the East Palace in the early dynasty, so it must be that His Majesty suffered an accident in the East Palace, which was so serious that he blocked the city gate and canceled the early dynasty. ”

"Then the source of all this is the crown prince!" Xiao Feng said.

King Ruyang nodded, and said: "I heard that the prince's illness came quickly and more seriously, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless after diagnosis, and finally invited Hua Tuo to enter the palace to no avail, so I guess that the prince's illness is too severe, and he has reached the point of dying, because the illness is strange, so His Majesty blocked and sieged the city." Because of worry, Emperor Xia canceled the early dynasty and stayed by the prince's side. The untimely death of the prince is not unprecedented, and disease is something that ordinary people cannot control. ”

"Is it possible that something happened to His Majesty? Since the palace gate was blocked, His Majesty directly summoned Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhou Wangye. Xiao Feng asked a disrespectful question.

After the king of Ruyang groaned, he said: "It is also possible, but the summons of Li Mingchong may be that His Majesty is worried about the prince and has no intention of national affairs, and ordered the cabinet chief assistant to deal with state affairs." As for summoning Xiao Mingying, maybe it's not necessarily to deal with the aftermath. Once the prince is seriously ill, he must be dealt with by a respected member of the royal family, and Xiao Mingying is the order of the Zongren Mansion, which is very suitable. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, he also felt that it was unlikely that His Majesty would have an accident, it was the Imperial Palace, and it was solid, unless His Majesty was also sick.

So, is it really the crown prince Xiao Rui who is going to be finished?

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and his heart was full of excitement.

Once the crown prince is killed, who will be his opponent among the other princes?

"No wonder my grandfather often taught me not to take into account the immediate gains and losses, the immediate gains and losses are not necessarily the final result, success or failure depends not only on ability, but also on timing and destiny."

Xiao Feng muttered silently, and at the same time, he missed his grandfather very much in his heart, and he didn't know where he went.
