North Courtyard. The capital, the royal palace.

The palace people outside the Qinzheng Hall were very uneasy, because the two masters in the hall had been arguing, and one was more angry than the other. There were only two masters in the palace, and they also ordered the palace people to go farther, which made everyone worried.

In the hall, Su Linhuai looked at Yingtaiqiang with heavy eyebrows: "Imperial Aunt, your hand is inevitably stretched too long." How does the internal affairs of Great Xia have anything to do with Beiting? Even if the emperor is not of the orthodox bloodline? As long as the two countries are at peace now, and the time to recuperate in Beiting can be given, why do you bother to make people cause trouble in Great Xia? ”

"Your Majesty, I have explained why. Why can't you fall into chaos in Great Xia? This is good for Beiting Baili and harmless! ”

Su Linhuai: "The turmoil in Qinzhou in Great Xia has revealed the traces of the people in Beiting, which is also beneficial to Beiting?" If Great Xia attacks with all his might, Beiting has no chance of winning! ”

Yingtaiqiang: "The king misunderstood me about this matter, it was Emperor Daxia's own clumsy trick, she was thinking of an excuse to tear up the discussion and crusade against Beiting all the time, even at the critical moment of the riots in the country, she did not forget to pour dirty water on Beiting, and pointed at Jing Hui, bent on putting him to death." ”

Su Linhuai: "If you hadn't spread rumors in her country that she had murdered the former emperor and had impure blood, would she not forget to drag her cousin into the water at a critical moment?" ”

Haunting Taiqiang: "Why does the king blame me? Everything I do is for the sake of the North Garden! She had previously sent people to pretend to be soldiers of the Northern Court to harass Great Xia in an attempt to sabotage the peace, but the king could not see it, but I couldn't! ”

Su Linhuai stood up, and there was anger between his eyebrows: "If the king of the North Court doesn't see it, you want to see it?" Are you sure you're talking to Lone? ”

There was not the slightest shame on his face, but he still said on his mouth: "The minister is afraid, how dare the minister disrespect the king, the minister is just anxious for the North Court, the minister is ......"

"Haunting Taiqiang." Su Linhuai suddenly called his name, which had not been done for many years, which made Yingtai Qiang stunned, "If Xi Jinghui can't become the emperor of Great Xia, are you ready to make him the king of Beiting, and you will be promoted to the queen mother?" ”

Yingtaiqiang immediately retorted: "How can the king suspect me like this? I don't have the heart to do that! ”

Su Linhuai's eyes looked at her coldly: "As a courtier, it is actually this posture to defend yourself." ”

Yingtai Qiang paused slightly, slowly lifted her complicated and gorgeous skirt, and knelt in front of Su Linhuai.

She was no longer familiar with kneeling. All she has done to this young king over the years has been curtsy, relying on her own seniority to run rampant with the royal family. And now, the young king wants her to kneel down and make her submit.

On the surface, she couldn't help but kneel, even if she didn't take the nephew in front of her in her eyes and didn't really think of him as a monarch.

More practically, her only son took away nearly eighty percent of the army of the Yingtai line, and at this time, no one in the capital could suppress the king's arrogance to support her with military power.

Su Linhuai quietly looked at the kneeling Lingering Qiang for a while, and slowly sat down. He let her kneel, took the tea that was already cold on the side, and took a leisurely sip. Lingering Qiang's anger was already obvious, but she still couldn't stand up, so she had to kneel. She listened to the slight sound of the tea lid scraping the tea bowl above, unhurriedly and slowly, and her heart was full of resentment, and she hated to step forward and lift the emperor's tea and splash him on his face.

"I'm jealous." Su Linhuai seemed to sigh, and with a clear understanding, "The emperor of Great Xia is a woman, you are envious and jealous." ”

Lingering Taiqiang's voice was cold: "What is there to envy and jealousy." ”

Su Linhuai put down the tea bowl and smiled slightly: "If it weren't for my father who sent you to Daxia and his relatives back then, with the power of Hingtai back then, it would not be known that he would finally take away this throne." And you are the most anticipated successor of the Yingtai clan, if it goes well, it is natural to become the princess. ”

Yingtaiqiang raised her eyes to look at him, slightly hooked her lips and smiled coldly: "Although the king is young, he has heard a lot about the old things. ”

Su Linhuai: "How can you not understand it clearly? Any act of forgiveness is not sudden, and there must be traces to follow. Careful observation of the past can reasonably predict the future, and the imperial aunt is also very clear about this. ”

Yingtaiqiang: "The king realized that I was jealous of the Great Xia Emperor and wanted to be a female emperor?" ”

Su Linhuai smiled: "It's just speculation." Isn't this a casual chat with the royal aunt? Beiting is not like Daxia, talking about concubines, respecting and inferiority, dividing men and women, and all virtuous and talented people in the six major families can deliberately plot to seize the throne, which makes the imperial aunt angry, right? You must have thought in your heart that sending you and your relatives to see you was for the sake of the two countries, but in fact it was just to send away the most terrible contender for the throne, right? ”

Yingtai Qiang stared into his eyes: "The king knows a lot. I have done nothing wrong, I have no guilt for my country or my clan, only you owe me. ”

Su Linhuai smiled: "If you think like this, Lone can understand one or two." However, has the hidden mechanism in the southeast corner of the park cracked? If it is so difficult, it is better to make a will, look for skilled craftsmen in the entire North Court, and believe that the best efforts of the North Court will be able to solve the mystery of this machine, what does the imperial aunt think? ”

The look of surprise on Yingtai Qiang's face couldn't be suppressed, so he listened to Su Linhuai continue: "The imperial aunt wants to ask why Gu knows such a secret thing in your Yingtai Garden?" How was Gu's every move completely mastered by the imperial aunt? How can there be an impermeable wall in this world, or the truth you teach Lonely. ”

Shocked, she quickly went through the list of people who might have leaked the secret, and couldn't immediately tell who had revealed the secret to the king. Su Linhuai continued: "That Yue Bai is the most important one among the people trusted by the Great Xia Emperor, according to his deep admiration for the Great Xia Emperor, he is by no means a person who can be easily shaken. Whether you want to know yourself or frame him for stealing his agency, Lone doesn't want to verify anymore, Lone just wants to tell you that your only son, Lone's cousin, has an army of 30,000 that hides the kind of agency person you never plan to tell Lone. ”

Lingering Taiqiang was shocked: "What are you?!" ”

Su Linhuai leaned back in his chair and said, "That's what you think." Lonely not clear enough? ”
