Gu An's face was hesitant, but he still answered truthfully: "The poison in yacon is ...... The servant also confessed, saying that he had bought the person in the imperial dining room and poisoned the yacon, and ...... He also said that this matter has nothing to do with King De......"

"What?!" King De was shocked when he heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat, frowned and reprimanded, "This king has been lying in bed for so many days, and you told this king that he is a lowly slave making trouble behind his back? Are you a fool to be the king?! ”

Seeing this, Gu An was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "The prince is angry, and his subordinates are just reporting according to the truth." ”

King Xuan snorted coldly and did not speak.

Here, Xia Rui waved his hand at Gu An and motioned him to retreat, Gu An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

At this moment, King Xuan also followed Gu An out.

Xia Rui immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Ronghui, stop, what are you going to do?" ”

When King Xuan heard this, he reluctantly turned around and replied, "I'll go to my father to reason!" This matter can't be just settled, it's too cheap, this time, don't stop me! ”

After saying that, he even had to go out.

Seeing that it was exactly the same as he guessed, Xia Rui couldn't help but sigh and raised his voice: "You come back first, what's the hurry?!" If you go to your father now, will you be able to put King De back in? Can you sit down and discuss the countermeasures first?! ”

King Xuan had no choice but to return to the seat he had just now and sit down.

Seeing this, Xia Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he stretched out his hand and waved away the palace people standing in the hall, and then said to King Xuan:

"Ronghui, it's useless for you to go to your father now! Father is not a foolish person, he must have a reason for letting King De out! ”

When King Xuan heard this, he was very angry, he stared at him and said, "Then tell me, what is the reason why my father is doing this?" ”

Xia Rui shook his head and said, "Don't be so excited, I can tell you the truth now, this matter was not done by King De, but by the queen." It's useless for you to go and talk to King Germany now. ”

When King Xuan heard this, his eyebrows jumped: "What?!" That old witch is hurting me again?! Last time, she beat me down in front of her father, and this time she actually poisoned me, why is this old witch's heart so ruthless?! Wait a minute......"

Speaking of which, King Xuan seems to have noticed that something is wrong,

"The queen poisoned, but sent King De to the prison of the criminal department, could it be that they are in the nest?!"

He looked at Xia Rui and Yun Xiao fixedly, and saw that the two of them nodded at him together.

Seeing this, King Xuan couldn't help but get excited: "Hahahahahaha...... Their Gao family also has today! Fight your own people, fight well, hahahahahahahahaha......haha

However, Xia Rui immediately poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't be too happy, King De has been released from the prison of the Criminal Department, maybe...... They were reconciled again! ”

When King Xuan heard this, his smile suddenly froze.

"What? Reconciled so quickly again? Second brother, are you kidding me?! I haven't started watching the play yet, and you wonder if my play is over. ”

"I'm not kidding you, I'm telling you seriously!"

Xia Rui frowned slightly and said,

"It's complicated, and I didn't really understand what was going on. It stands to reason that after the last time I had a discord with the crown princess, there has been a big gap in the relationship between King De and the queen, and my people reported to me that King De was at the queen's place and ate two closed-door soups, and the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the queen set up a bureau, and it was clearly for King De, as for the ...... Why did the relationship between them suddenly repair again, I think, there should be something wrong in this that we don't know. ”

Yun Xiao agreed with what Xia Rui said, she nodded, and added:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, and the concubines feel that if the queen doesn't let go of the king's affairs, he will never be able to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The queen and the jade concubine are both daughters of the Gao family, although they married into the harem, but, in the previous dynasty, they relied on the same person, that is, Prime Minister Zuo Gao, if it is pushed like this, the person who makes the situation change, will it be Prime Minister Gao? ”

"Chances are......" Xia Rui nodded.

"It must be him!" On the other side, King Xuan said categorically, "Gao Ziyuan, the old fox, has the most intrigues and tricks, and in this world, he is the only one who can talk about the queen." ”

Here, Xia Rui answered: "In this way, the whole thing will be explained." ”

When King Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Now, King De and the queen have reconciled again, so aren't you working in vain before?!" ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he smiled very subtly:

"That's not necessarily, the queen is a woman who likes to hold grudges, King De angered the queen, it must not be as simple as being calculated by us, there must be something else, otherwise, the queen would not have set such a big trap at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to frame King De, and King De is not a master who can suffer, the two sides are just temporarily looking at Prime Minister Gao's face, and each step back, but once the interests of both sides conflict again, new hatred and old hatred together, I am afraid it will be more ugly than now!"

"You're right!"

When King Xuan heard this, he couldn't stop nodding, but he still had questions,

"However, there is another point, I haven't figured it out, the queen's trick, the father can't have no suspicions, right? With the retraction of a minion's confession, the father overturned his previous judgment, and hastily decided the matter, this is not like the father's usual style, second brother, didn't you say before that the father would investigate this matter thoroughly? ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he couldn't help frowning:

"On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, my father really said so. However, the fact that my father is doing this now does not mean that he no longer suspects King De or the Empress, but that he does not want to criticize King De too much. In short, no one can guess the thoughts of the father. ”

That said, things seem to get more complicated.

After hearing this, King Xuan's face was gloomy, and at this moment, he suddenly brought up the old story:

"Second brother, now there are only three of us here, and my sister-in-law is not an outsider, so I won't shy away from it. You said...... Regarding the matter of the mother concubine, did the father have any doubts in his heart? Will he ...... Like the two of us, I think that the matter of the mother concubine is that the queen is making trouble in secret, but she is afraid of the power of the Gao family, so she has been holding back? ”

Xia Rui was shocked when he heard this, to be honest, he had never thought about it like this before. However, looking at the past two years, the emperor's attitude towards the queen does not seem to be without a trace. At the very least, the emperor's favor for the queen is indeed much less than three years ago.

At this moment, Xia Rui couldn't give King Xuan a clear answer, so he could only advise:

"No matter what the father's attitude towards the queen is, after all, the queen is still sitting in the Fengyi Palace, we still have to be polite to the queen, at least, on the surface, we can't tear our faces with her."

At this moment, King Xuan said again: "Prince Min's matter, my father is still secretly investigating it, and I don't know what my father has found recently!" ”

"Ronghui, you have to remember that no matter what the emperor finds out, it is not coming at us, from beginning to end, the people we need to watch out for are the queen, and the general direction must not be wrong."

"Second brother, don't worry, I know what to do, I will definitely be cautious."

Xia Rui heard this and nodded.

--------------------

After King De was released from the prison of the Criminal Department, the court of the Great Xia Kingdom was quiet for a long time.

Autumn turned to winter, and the Great Xia Kingdom welcomed guests from the north---- envoys from the barbarian Tianshan Kingdom to visit.

The Tianshan Kingdom, located outside the northern border of the Great Xia Kingdom, has cold weather, windy and snowy, barren land, unable to grow rice, and the people live by grazing, because they are aggressive and savage, so they are also called "barbarians".

The Tianshan Kingdom is dry and short of water all year round, and there is only one ancient Tianshan Mountain, which is the source of water for their country.

The capital of the Tianshan Kingdom was built under the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, so it was named "Tianshan Country".

In the Tianshan Kingdom, the Tianshan Mountains are their holy mountains, and the annual harvest of the people of the Tianshan Mountains depends on how much snow can melt down on the Tianshan Mountains. Therefore, the people respect the Tianshan Mountains very much, and in the Tianshan Kingdom, if anyone dares to disrespect the Tianshan Mountains, they will be arrested and imprisoned.

Due to the scarcity of materials in the Tianshan Kingdom, every time the autumn harvest season of the Great Xia Kingdom, they always invaded the northern border of the Great Xia Kingdom and plundered the materials in the south for the New Year.

At the end of last year, the monarch of the Tianshan Kingdom held a big wedding, feasting the ministers for seven days and seven nights, and the materials they plundered from the Great Xia Kingdom last autumn were basically exhausted, so they had to go south again at the beginning of this spring to invade the border of the Great Xia Kingdom to maintain their lives in the first half of this year.

However, since they were defeated by Prince Min, they have never invaded the Great Xia Kingdom in the south, because the battle of Prince Min not only consumed the main army of the Tianshan Kingdom, but also caused the Tianshan Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom to sign a ten-year covenant of "Qin and Jin".

This covenant stipulated that the Great Xia Kingdom and the Tianshan Kingdom would be at war with each other, exchange trade, and live in friendship, and that the two sides would not wage war against each other for at least ten years. At the same time, the Great Xia Kingdom needs to unconditionally teach the people of the Tianshan Kingdom its own farming and water conservancy technology, so that the people of the Tianshan Kingdom can carry out simple farming at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and in return, the Tianshan Kingdom needs to pay tribute to the Great Xia Kingdom at the beginning of winter every year with 5,000 cattle and sheep, 8,000 elite war horses, 1,000 fox fur and mink satin, and various local specialties.
