King Qin looked at the queen and said calmly: "Queen Mother, it was you who asked for this errand in front of your father and asked your son to go to the Xue Mansion to supervise the decree, you should be able to guess that her survival is related to her son." If the queen mother reveals her identity, the son is also a capital offense. ”

The queen stared into his eyes and shook her head in disbelief: "Que'er! How daring! Do you dare to show favoritism when handling cases by factory guards? ”

King Qin was silent.

Looking at the increasingly resolute expression on the queen's face, King Qin also guessed the queen's plan in his heart, and said slowly: "If the queen mother uses the feather coat guard to assassinate, the son will abolish the feather coat guard." ”

The queen took a step back and laughed: "Que'er, what are you talking about?" Do you know what I can give you? ”

"The son's bones, blood, and body are all given by the queen mother."

The queen shook her head, with a burst of pathos in her eyes: "I can't give you anything, the queen died first and left a never-say-die edict to the prince, if I die, I can't give you anything, except for the feather guard, you actually want to abolish the feather guard for a woman?" ”

King Qin's tone returned to his usual gentleness: "Queen Mother, you know, I won't let Ah Ke die. ”

Just when the emperor intended to test the prince in the court, the early dynasty exploded, and the prince asked for leave due to illness!

The ministers couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts, it wouldn't be as simple as really getting sick!

Xue Ke lay in bed for three days. Ah Liu's face was heavy and reported: "The emperor sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, and there are people from the factory guard behind." ”

Xue Ke's face sank, and he ordered: "If it is normal, the emperor will give some medicine and supplements, and the imperial doctor will be sent, obviously he does not trust His Highness, and the people who follow the factory guard are even more strange, I am afraid that the emperor has other suspicions." Ah Liu, you go and order the guards and shadow guards in the mansion to be calm and don't act rashly. Ah Liu took the order and left.

After the imperial doctor looked at it and asked about it, he was also relieved, the prince was really sick, burned in a daze, and really couldn't go to court. The imperial doctor has been living in the East Palace, following up day and night.

The prince had indeed not been so seriously ill for a long time, and after a few days of pouring the decoction, although the fever had subsided, he still couldn't get out of bed. After the emperor came to visit in person, he then withdrew the factory guards.

After that, it seemed to convey some kind of signal, and the ministers and nobles of the DPRK and China also visited the East Palace. Although the prince did not come out of the main hall, the East Palace was a lot more lively.

Usually visitors Xing'er mostly lead people to the side hall, and one or two subordinate officials accompany them to drink tea, but today they are careful to bring people to the inner room.

The prince was half lying on the bed, and his voice was a little erratic: "You are finally here." ”

The Seven Kings frowned and said, "Why is Your Highness so sick?" ”

The prince waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, let's get down to business." ”

The Seven Kings took out two pieces of paper from their sleeves, one of which was the secret letter about General Xue that Sun Mo had taken out before.

"The letter is really problematic, that Chang Shengkuan said that there is a place in the original text of the letter that says 'Amir', but as everyone knows, these three words are not ordinary in the royal family of the Western Regions."

The Seven Kings took a sip of tea and continued: "The Xiliang tribes, the previous Yueshi, Dawan, and Shatuo, as well as the Dangxiang, Xi, and Tubo tribes that flourished from the Tang Dynasty, are different from our dynasty, they were originally loose tribal peoples, they have to choose a leader every three years, and the tribes are also scattered, some are like brothers, and some are hateful. The lack of climate in the Western Regions was inseparable from their internal friction before. ”

The prince had stayed in the Western Regions for a few years, so he naturally understood the situation over there, and nodded: "Not bad." ”

"However, since they formed the Tanxia Alliance twenty years ago, there has been no major war internally, which is why it has caused trouble to our dynasty. The person who pushed for the alliance was a man named Amir. ”

"I think I heard about this Amir prince when I was in the Western Regions." The prince thought for a moment.

"He was originally a son of the Western Xia royal family, and he was not outstanding in war, so I know very little about the dynasty, it is said that he is kind and respectful, and the strength of the Western Regions in the past thirty years has a great deal to do with this person, so all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions respect this old prince."

"But what does that have to do with this letter?" The prince was still puzzled.
