Chapter 55

"Your Majesty, there are people outside asking to see you." The little eunuch stood respectfully outside the imperial study and shouted to Xia Huai inside.

"Who and what?" Xia Huai was crouching down in front of the desk and seriously criticizing the folds, at this time, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these things.

Since Xia Yi left the imperial city, there has been no news about the battle situation in the northwest region, and Xia Huai is inevitably a little worried.

"The slave doesn't know, this person only said that it is related to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Yi'er?" Xia Yuan's hand paused, and a superfluous ink blot was drawn on the fold, from left to right, almost painted on the desk, "Let him in." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed his head and withdrew from the palace.

A slightly older man was pacing back and forth in the open space in front of the palace at the moment, with his hands behind his back, somewhat anxiously.

"The emperor announced that you should go in." The little eunuch stood on the steps in front of the palace and said unhurriedly to the man who couldn't hold his breath below.

"Great! Thank you, father-in-law. When the man heard the little eunuch's words, he rushed to him happily, "Please also ask your father-in-law to lead the way." ”

"Come with me." The little eunuch turned and walked towards the palace, and the man hurried to keep up with him.

Along the way, the man still couldn't hide his curiosity, as if it was the first time he entered the palace, and he was so excited that he looked left and right, where was the anxiety just now.

The two soon stopped in front of the door of the imperial study, and the little eunuch took the lead in shouting inside: "Your Majesty, someone is here." ”

"Well, let him in." Xia Huai's mature and neutral voice made the man feel as if he was frozen in place for a moment, unable to move.

The little eunuch pushed the man behind his back and said, "What are you still standing for?" The emperor called you in. ”

"Ah, oh, well, thank you, father-in-law." At the urging of the little eunuch, the man came back to his senses and pushed open the door of the imperial study with trembling.

What catches your eye is the huge bookcase surrounded on three sides, and Xia Huai, who is sitting at the desk and watching Xia Huai seriously.

Isn't this the legendary emperor!

The man's legs were weak, and he knelt directly in front of the desk: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Just say it, what's the matter?" Xia Huai didn't even want to raise his eyes, looking like he didn't care.

"Back to the emperor, the little one is the spy that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planted in the army of the Northwest King, just a few days ago, the small one found out that the Northwest King Rong Nanfeng imprisoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the dungeon of the Northwest Palace."

Xia Huai's face finally loosened a little, and he looked at the unattractive man kneeling underneath, this is a passerby's face that will not be distinguishable if he is thrown into the crowd, and it is no wonder that Xia Yi will arrange him in the Northwest Palace.

"Tell me about it." Xia Huai was slightly interested in what the man said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, when I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong were fighting that day, I don't know what tactics the Northwest King used, a lot of white powder fell from the sky, and in an instant, none of the 10,000 troops were spared, all of them fell asleep on the battlefield, speaking of which the Northwest Army is also very strange, obviously there is a great opportunity to say that the Xia army is wiped out, but they didn't do it, they just kidnapped His Royal Highness Xia Yi alone."

"This Northwest King is really strange, why did he want to tie up Yi'er."

"This ...... I don't know if it's small, I can't figure out what this prince is thinking, after kidnapping His Royal Highness, the Northwest Army retreated back to the Northwest Palace, didn't he want to threaten the dynasty with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Alas, think about it, the only possibility is estimated to be the Xia Dynasty that is about to die, first there was an incident with Achi, and now it is an accident with Yi'er, and Xiao Yuan is still missing." Xia Huai put down the brush in his hand, and at the moment he just wanted to use his hand to support his swollen head.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door from the little eunuch who seemed to be blocking someone: "Eh, this is the emperor's imperial study, not a place where you can enter without permission." ”

Xia Huai has a headache, what kind of troublesome character is this.
