Chapter Seventy-Three: The Sea of Clouds, Mountains and Fog Begins to Emerge

The crown prince woke up and hugged her, and said with satisfaction: "In the past, I just disdained Emperor Ming, but now I know that Bai Letian's hibiscus day is warm for the spring night, and from then on, what does it mean that the king does not reign early." Xue Ke listened to him talking nonsense, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and suddenly heard his stomach growl, only to remember that he hadn't eaten all day, so he pushed the prince up. When the prince was told by her, he also felt hungry.

The prince dressed her, pulled her hair, and pushed the door open. Xing'er heard the movement and ran over tremblingly: "Master, do you have dinner?" It's been hot! ”

The prince nodded. Pull Xue Ke to the front hall. Xing'er thought about it and added: "Master, Mama Zhang is here, and her face is not very good." ”

The prince ate three bowls of soup and rice, and then looked at Mama Zhang, his face was a little pale.

Xue Ke put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Your Highness, I'll go back." ”

The prince subconsciously said, "You're here tonight, can't you?" ”

Xue Ke laughed and said, "I'm going back to change my clothes." ”

The prince hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with you." ”

Mama Zhang couldn't help coughing twice: "Prince! ”

Xue Ke stood up, his whole body was in pain, and said, "Mama, let's go!" ”

Mama Zhang untied Xue Ke's hair, and finally couldn't help but say: "Whether the girl likes to listen to it or not, the old slave has something to say." ”

Xue Ke patted her hand: "Mama I know!" ”

Mama Zhang's nose was sour: "The girl has to take care of her body!" The daughter's family name festival is the most important, why doesn't the girl want a name? Girl, don't think that the young man has a strong love, who doesn't have a strong love, back then," she stopped herself in time, and said: "Girl, don't indulge men, take advantage of the prince's passion, and plan for yourself!" ”

Xue Ke nodded and said, "Mama, I know that you are sincere to me, I still have something to ask Mama, I can't be pregnant at the moment, you can help me get a pair of avoidance soup." ”

Mama Zhang nodded. I went back to the prince in person, and came back with a pair of decoctions in half a day. Xue Ke looked at her expression, and estimated that she had also beaten the prince.

The next day, ignoring the prince's eyes, Nangong brought a piece of news, saying that the emperor had granted permission to come to the court after the Wanshou Festival in three months!

The Emperor's Halloween has always been the most solemn day of the year, but this year is very different.

Last year, someone mentioned in the court that the surrounding countries want to come to meet the Son of Heaven, and now the four seas are peaceful, there is no war, and all parts of the country are peaceful, it is a good time to meet them, one is to show the power of heaven, the other is to strengthen contacts, communicate with each other, and this thing itself is enough to be included in the glory of leaving a name in the annals of history, so a few pushes, the emperor will make a decree, and the post station will soon begin to prepare.

The prince nodded and said, "Will the party in the west, Ruoqiang, and Yue's clan come over?" ”

Nangong nodded and said, "It should be, I have submitted the envoy before." ”

After some deliberation, they dispersed. The crown prince asked Nangong and another Lord Sun to stay. This Lord Sun is a vassal of the East Palace, specializing in archival tantra, and is also one of the prince's most trusted henchmen.

The prince said in a deep voice: "Sun Mo, you go to the secret box and bring General Xue's letter!" ”

Nangong's heart sank, and he exchanged a look with Master Sun.

The two of them glanced at Xue Ke, who was also staying, and sighed in their hearts, not knowing why the prince let one of his concubines participate in confidential political affairs, and they didn't know whether the prince was obsessed with beauty or something else.

Sun Mo went for a while, and when he came back, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the prince.

Of course, the prince had already seen it and handed it to Xue Ke on the side.

Xue Ke tried to calm down and took the letter, it was a rubbing letter, the letter was written in Xiliang script, she couldn't read it, and there was another piece of paper attached to it, it was a translation, I don't know if it was the letter that was originally very rough, or a problem with the translation, the text of the letter looked straightforward and easy to understand:

General Xue, your letter has been received before, the things we agreed on before are going well, and your emperor also believes that you are a meritorious man, and now you have to repay us according to the agreement, and you will withdraw from Longyou and stabilize the two cities in July this year.

Xue Ke's hand trembled slightly.

The crown prince nodded at Nangong, Nangong understood, and then introduced to Xue Ke: "This letter is the most important evidence of General Xue's conviction. This is what we took a lot of effort to get out of General Xue's secret scroll. ”

Xue Ke nodded, she knew the weight of the letter. Suddenly bent down and gave a salute, Nangong was startled, a little confused, and hurriedly leaned over and let this salute pass.

Xue Ke reluctantly smiled: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Nangong touched his nose and wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the prince's gloomy face, he couldn't help but stop talking and asked, "Why did Your Highness take out this letter?" Are you thinking about coming from the west this time to see if there is a breakthrough? ”

The prince nodded and said, "Yes, if there is a problem with this letter, General Xue's charges will naturally not be resolved!" The imperial court has not yet announced the death of General Xue and the cause of death, maybe we can ask something! ”

Xue Ke heard it for the first time, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What? The imperial court did not announce the death? What do you mean? ”

Lord Sun on the side nodded and said, "Yes, although everyone in the capital knows about it, the Western Regions may not know about it, and the feudal states in Xiliang may not know about it." ”

Xue Ke shook his head and said, "What? The imperial court did not announce it? Why didn't the imperial court announce it? Does he dare to kill, but he can't say it? Didn't he keep saying that General Xue collaborated with the enemy? ”

Master Sun's face was a little embarrassed when she asked, and said, "Girl, as soon as General Xue is accused of collaborating with the enemy, it is a matter of confidentiality, so he will not inform the world; Second, General Xue has a good reputation in the Western Army, and he is afraid that the army will be unstable; Third, the saint and General Xue had a juvenile relationship, and the saint couldn't bear to be stigmatized after his death, so the decree did not need to be announced to the world, and was only conveyed in the internal official documents. ”

Xue Ke suddenly wanted to laugh, the prince looked at her with a little unbearable, patted her on the back gently, and she shook off his hand.

Lord Sun pretended not to see it, and coughed: "Your Highness tried every means to leave this letter, just so that one day he can clear the grievances of the general." After a pause, he said: "What Your Highness said is that when the ministers go back, they will pay attention to the news from the western side and the people from the envoys there." If His Royal Highness is in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the mission, it will be much more convenient. ”

The prince nodded and said, "Lone thinks the same way. For the past two days, you have been in peace with them, and I am bound to win this matter. ”

Xue Ke just stared at the letter, and Nangong wanted to receive it but was a little embarrassed to remind her.

After they dispersed, the prince grabbed Xue Ke, and Xue Ke shook his head and said, "I want to calm down." ”

The prince only thought that she had not announced the news of General Xue's death, and understood her anger, so he didn't speak and silently sent her back to Baopu Yuan.

Xue Ke locked himself in his room.

She was indeed so angry by the emperor's brazenness, what kind of juvenile affection, where is there any slightest affection, after killing someone, the whole family still splashes dirty water, and she is weak and makes excuses.

It's just that she needs to be calm is something else. It turned out that there really was a letter.
