Situ Xuan's voice was full of anger, and there was no trace of calmness on his handsome face, only the depression and heaviness of the rainstorm coming.

At this time, several people walked in from outside the Deyuan Palace, and the fold just landed in front of the right foot of one of them.

When the others saw this, they all stood where they were, and did not take a step forward. They all knew very well what was the reason for Situ Xuan, who was so angry, and they also knew that their silence was the best choice at this time.

After about half a moment, the person who was standing behind the fold slowly squatted down and reached out to pick it up. The slender and white fingers reflect the pale yellow fold cover, which seems to be a delicate and transparent white.

Opening the fold, the man carefully looked at the words written on it. After reading it, the man didn't say much, but slowly closed the fold and walked towards Situ Xuan.

In front of Situ Xuan, he put the fold on the high table aside. Immediately, he pulled a copy from a stack of folds. After reading it, the man pulled out another note.

His movements attracted Situ Xuan's attention, looking at the handsome face of the person in front of him and the calm and unchanging expression, most of the anger in Situ Xuan's heart suddenly dissipated.

"Yuanyou, after reading these twists and turns, do you think I have raised a bunch of waste over the years?" Situ Xuan looked at Situ Yuanyou standing beside him, and his voice was much colder than ordinary events. He wore a purple forged multicolored cloud bat golden dragon brocade robe, a jade buckle carved with a pattern of two dragons playing with pearls around his waist, and his black hair was tied up by a gold crown, and the golden dragon carving on the gold crown was shining, showing the royal dignity.

And Situ Yuanyou, who was standing beside him, was dressed in a frost-white phoenix-patterned brocade robe, with pieces of bamboo leaves embroidered with blue-green silk thread on the cuffs and collar, and the elegant patterns of distant mountains and peaks were painted with light ink on the wide sleeved robe.

Hearing Situ Xuan's words, Situ Yuanyou did not reply immediately, but quietly looked at the piece of music in his hand.

"Brother Huang, I've been busy lately, I'm afraid I haven't paid attention to some things, and my brother thinks it's good to remind Brother Huang." After reading it, Situ Yuanyou closed the fold and put it back on the long table. He walked to the center of the Deyuan Hall and slowly knelt down and saluted.

"Minister Situ Yuanyou see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

"The ministers participate in the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" When the other people saw Situ Yuanyou saluting, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, without the slightest slackness.

Seeing Situ Yuanyou like this, Situ Xuan was really helpless to the extreme. Now at this time, he, the imperial brother, still pays attention to the etiquette of respect and humility, and he really can't laugh or cry.

"Alright, let's all get up and sit down!" Situ Xuan said lightly, his voice was still cold. After Situ Yuanyou sat down, he immediately asked out loud, almost without a pause: "Yuanyou, what do you want to remind me?" ”

"After the Ganges incident, Lord Xiangguo and the generals who went out on the expedition followed him for 9,000 years. The reason for Lord Xiangguo, Yuanyou is clear, and the imperial brother is also clear, but the general will not understand that it is because his family has to follow the nine thousand years old. Situ Yuanyou's voice was slightly solemn, he looked at Situ Xuan, and there seemed to be a cold shadow attached to his handsome face, which was particularly gloomy: "The fifth young master of the Ningjun Palace, Hua Yuqing, the people of the Yunwang Mansion, the people of the Night Phase Mansion, and the families of the generals who went out with the army were all secretly taken out of Lin'an City, and they did not know where to go. In addition, the imperial brother's favorite concubine and the head of the imperial hospital disappeared, and all the files of the East and West Second Factory disappeared, such a coincidence, didn't the imperial brother think that someone had arranged it a long time ago? People who can do such things are afraid that they are only 9,000 years old. ”

"Prince An's previous words are very reasonable, but to say that these things were done by nine thousand years old, I am afraid that I look down on nine thousand years old." Situ Yuanche's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of that day. He has also confronted Bai Zixiao head-to-head, and he knows him more deeply than others.

It is absolutely impossible for such a proud man to do such a cautious thing. This style of acting is very similar to her.

"What does Prince Nade think of these things?" Situ Yuanyou did not have the slightest displeasure with Situ Yuanche's rebuttal, but only politely asked his opinion.

At this moment, there is no room for civil strife.

When he heard Situ Yuanyou's question, Situ Yuan's eyes froze, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. At this time, he couldn't help but recall what Hua Qingmo said that day.

She said that their dealings with King Liang were mainly to maintain the peace of the Western Palace, as well as the Prince De's Palace. As for her safety, it was just a coincidence that she held the same interests.

At the time, he thought her words were just nonsense. But at this moment, he knew that for these people, the peace and interests of the palace were greater than the feelings they cherished in their hearts.

"I'm afraid there is only one person who does this, and that is Hua Qingmo, the lord of Qinghe County. Leaving aside Hua Yuqing, Concubine An has almost no intersection with Jiuqiansui, and it is impossible for Jiuqiansui to take her away, but the county lord of Qinghe does not need the same. Situ Yuanche sighed slightly, and there was an unspeakable dark silence in his eyes. His lips curled slightly, and he smiled sarcastically, and of course he was laughing at himself.

"She is the daughter of the deceased King Yun, Concubine An is the sister of King Yun, she cares about King Yun very much, and she will naturally protect the sister of King Yun."

Hearing Situ Yuanyou's words, Situ Xuan's eyes sank slightly, and Yajun's face was also a little more condensed, he clenched the red gold dragon head carving on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the fierce force in his hand seemed to crush it.

"Hua Qingmo." In Situ Xuan's cold words, there was an undisguised killing intent.

Once, he even wanted to cultivate Hua Qingmo to be like Bai Zixiao's cunzi, but the woman was too ignorant of lifting, so he could only give up. In fact, at the beginning, after having murderous intent towards Hua Qingmo, he should have taken her life regardless of it, and he should have insisted on killing Hua Qingmo no matter how Bai Zixiao made a hindrance.

Now, Hua Qingmo has grown, and it seems to be another tricky storage like Bai Zixiao. This is really a big stumbling block for his country.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Nine Thousand Years Old and the Lord of Qinghe is no longer able to take care of it now, and the most important thing for us is how to quell the rebellions in this place." Situ Yuanche knew that Situ Xuan wanted to make a move on Hua Qingmo, so he hurriedly spoke out to divert his attention. Although the tranquility of Prince De's Mansion is more important than Hua Qingmo, as long as Prince De's Mansion is okay, he can do anything for Hua Qingmo.

"That's true." Situ Xuan listened to Situ Yuanche's words, and his voice became cold. He looked sideways at the folds placed beside him, and his face was calm: "Half of the nine capitals, sixteen prefectures and thirty-two counties have rebelled against the imperial court, and this half has already caused turmoil in the Hua Dynasty. Sixteen of the central passes were written, asking me to send a large army to support them, but they had enough men to defend their passes. ”

Therefore, they went to the book just to protect themselves as a cover-up. If the court is defeated, they will switch to surrender, and if the court is not defeated, they can also use this as an excuse when they are questioned, these guards have never thought of fighting for their country. Situ Yuanche's voice was angry, but at the same time there was a hint of helplessness.

In the current situation, he can't help those guards at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants Prince An to remind the emperor of this matter, there should be another purpose." Chu Yanqian, who was sitting on the side, smiled and spoke, his smile casual but not calm. He glanced at Situ Yuanyou, and said with a far-reaching gaze: "If you want those defenders to fight for the country, maybe you should use some tough means." If the country does not serve the country, how can it be home? Since they don't care about the peace of the country, let him taste the feeling of being homeless first. ”

Chu Yanqian's words were very clear, but Situ Xuan had a trace of hesitation.

Seeing Situ Xuan like this, Situ Heng smiled faintly, and in his beautiful face, the shadows were dense, and he was unusually cold and ruthless: "Your Majesty, the reason why the nine thousand years old was able to escape from the hands of the ministers that day. The reason may be that the ministers and the Prince of De are not as good as the nine thousand years old, but there is another reason that the nine thousand years old are more ruthless than all of us. Those who become big things are not informal, and the emperor is now unstable, so you don't have to care about those small things, and the emperor should not want the Hua Dynasty to be destroyed. ”

Situ Heng's words were very presumptuous, and he didn't seem to take Situ Xuan's majesty as the Son of Heaven seriously at all. But at this time, Situ Xuan didn't care about this kind of thing at all. On the contrary, Situ Xuan's words made Situ Xuan sober up a lot.

"At this time, I really can't be kind." The corners of Situ Xuan's lips were slightly hooked, and the evil smile overflowed on his handsome and elegant face, as if an elegant bamboo forest was surrounded by darkness. Although the freshness of the bamboo leaves makes people feel the same, the darkness in front of them makes people extremely frightened.

"Spread my order, and secretly brought the family members of the guards of the sixteen passes to Lin'an City. Then he warned those soldiers that if they were locked up, they would be killed. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Next, within ten days, Situ Yuanche and others had already held the families of the sixteen pass guards of the Hua Dynasty hostage, and left Situ Xuan's secret decree.

Such a situation instantly reversed Situ Xuan's previous disadvantage. Sixteen passes just blocked the rebellious city, and the idea of protecting the family made those guards change in an instant, and the strict guards of each pass made Lin'an City feel like it was located in the middle of an iron wall.

Cloud City, in the hall of the Mansion of the Cloud King.

Hua Qingmo sat on the upper seat, facing a group of distant guests below with a very calm expression.

"Princess Xiao, where is the nine thousand years old now? Why didn't he come to meet us? ”

"Nine thousand years old sent a woman here, is it to look down on us people?"

"Princess Xiao, I waited thousands of miles to come here to meet the nine thousand years old and discuss the strategy of how to deal with the emperor, not to see Princess Xiao alone."

There was an endless stream of dissatisfied voices from the people below, and the most of them was contempt for her. Listening to the ears, Hua Qingmo did not have any displeasure. Slowly picked up the white porcelain gold-painted tea bowl on the long table, Hua Qingmo took a sip, and then threw the tea bowl to the ground.

The sound of the porcelain breaking instantly made everyone unconsciously stop, and their eyes involuntarily looked at the delicate and delicate woman above.

Seeing that no one was noisy, the corners of Hua Qingmo's lips raised slightly, and her voice was gentle but calm, like a mountain: "You have come from afar, and you have worked hard along the way." Originally, the nine thousand years old should sit in Qing Mo's current position and talk to you in detail, but the nine thousand years old want to teach his daughter to read and write today, so he left this matter to Qing Mo to deal with. ”
