"No, King Xian has not been summoned and is still grounded in the palace."

Huaxi frowned slightly, "Can you be contacted at any time?" ”

Seeing that Manager Hu nodded, Huaxi secretly thought, could it be that he guessed wrong? However, it's okay that the fifth brother didn't enter the palace, but it happened suddenly, and my father rushed back from outside, and the situation in the palace is unknown, at least the two of them are not trapped.

General Hu managed Xie Huaxi's thoughts, "The county lord doesn't have to be anxious, although the commander of the Imperial Front Division is a member of the Xun family, the commander of the infantry and the commander of the Yamen, Lord Wang, is the old department of the prince." The prince confessed that if something happened in the palace, let the old slave escort the county lord and the virtuous king out of the city. The county lord is tired after a day of traveling, so it's better to go to bed early, and the guards of the mansion have old slaves. ”

Huaxi's heart was relieved, "Thank you Manager Hu, then I bother you to order the house and soldiers to guard the door." ”

Chief Manager Hu responded with a smile: "The county lord is polite and if nothing happens, the old slave will retire first." ”

"Cui Ming, send Manager Hu."

Cui Ming sent off Manager Hu, Huaxi didn't feel sleepy, and sat under the lamp to read after bathing.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The sound of the stick gradually faded away.

Bai Lan lifted the palace lantern sarong and picked out the wick, "County Lord, it's time to go to bed for the fourth watch." ”

Hua Xi let out a light "um" and closed the "Collection of Extracts", "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

Bai Lan hesitated, shook her head and said, "The person sent out hasn't come back yet......"

"Hey, no news is good news." Huaxi said on her lips, but her heart was worried, it had been almost two hours, and there was no news in the palace? I don't know what happened to my father?

Suddenly, the windows were blown open by a gust of wind, and there was a roar of thunder in the night sky in the distance......

Huaxi glanced out the window, "It's going to change?" ”

There was a knock on the door, and Bai Lan hurried out, and after a while, turned back again.

"County Lord, the news that has just come back that Your Majesty has died."

Hua Xi's book fell to the ground with a "snap", and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from Dad?" ”

"Lord Hou said that the prince is undecided, he will be fine, please relax the county lord."

Huaxi breathed a sigh of relief, nervous all night, but she didn't expect Bo Ye Tong to leave in the end, but fortunately, her father was fine, her hanging heart temporarily landed, looking at the wind and thunder outside the window, I was afraid that from tomorrow onwards, the sky would be chaotic for a while.

Huaxi turned his head and instructed Bai Lan: "Let people prepare filial piety clothes and lanterns, don't make a noise." I went to bed for a while, and when it was daybreak, the will of the palace would come. ”

As soon as the hour passed, the Qiming bell of the Dazheng Palace rang, and it was also announcing the funeral of Emperor Wu in the western moon of the world.

At that time, Susukino Shin returned from the palace exhausted, and rushed into the study to summon his subordinates. Hanaki didn't see Nobu Susukino until early afternoon.

Seeing that Susukino Shin's eyes were covered with red silk, it seemed that he had not slept all night, Huaxi couldn't help but say: "Dad, there is nothing to do at home, you tossed this night, go to sleep first with some food, right?" Huaxi sighed, she didn't want to ask about the situation in the palace, although she hadn't seen her a few times, she knew that he had a deep relationship with his father, and his brother who shared the hardships died suddenly, his father's heart was uncomfortable, and Huaxi didn't want to mention his father's sadness.

No, Susukino Shin mentioned it himself, "The imperial brother left suddenly, and he didn't leave a testament." Next...... It's going to be chaos in the palace for a while. "Thinking of the situation in the imperial brother's dormitory yesterday, the imperial brother died strangely, but unfortunately he went out of Beijing, and everything was wiped out when he came back......

Susukino Xin clenched his fists, thinking of the two rabbit cubs who were not angry, they almost fought in front of the imperial brother's spirit, and he was annoyed, it was really unbearable that the imperial brother wanted to fight the Xun family for a day or two, and now the Xun family has not fallen, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, they will not be for the time being, and the Xun family is not on the right track with himself, and Xun Rou's affairs...... He couldn't let Huaxi get hurt anymore.

Thinking of this, the thought that Susukino Shin had originally suppressed in his heart rose again, no, he couldn't watch those unscrupulous ruin the foundation created by his ancestors.

Huaxi was silent for a moment, and left suddenly? There must be another reason for this...... But I'm afraid it's too late to find out. Right now, everyone is keeping their eyes open and staring at who can sit on the dragon chair in the Zhengde Hall.

"Who does Daddy like?"

Susukino Shin shook his head, and all his dissatisfaction and annoyance finally turned into a sigh, "No, if there is...... Forget it, these ** stay in the house with peace of mind, and my father has his own arrangements. ”

……

In the following day, the Xiyue Dynasty argued endlessly, and the king had the support of the prime minister, while the second king was supported by generals such as General Fuwei, a veteran general of the three dynasties, and the Xun family and Susukino Shin, who were in charge of the defense of the heavenly capital, never expressed their position. The king and the three kings sent a letter to the palace to find Bo Ye Xin, Bo Ye Xin simply said that he was not sick, and chatted with Huaxi every day to play chess, Huaxi was puzzled and asked the reason for Bo Ye Xin, but Bo Ye Xin said that it was rare to live for half a day, maybe it would be a tough battle in two days. At the same time, Susukino Zongqi, who has always been wandering, also kept a low profile and closed his doors all day long.

After a stalemate for three days, when Huaxi and Susukino Shin were playing chess, suddenly the secret guard came to report that the second king had been assassinated, the injury was unknown, and the assassination was poisonous, and the leader was the commander of the guards of the Great Palace, and the weapons used were all from the Great Palace.

Susukino Shin put down his chess and sneered, "Can't sit still?" ”

Hua Xi saw that the chess on the chessboard was messed up, picked up the extra chess and threw it into the box, the chessboard recovered as before, and said helplessly: "I really can't play chess, I am going to lose when I see this situation, why don't you let me think about it again, let's go back and continue playing?" ”

Susukino Shin rubbed Huaxi's hair, "That's Daddy's gone, you can use it yourself for dinner"

Huaxi returned to Xiyuan, and as soon as he entered the door, he met Mu Xi running back from another road in a panic.

Huaxi frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Mu Xi panted and said: "County Lord, Fan Yun went to see the shop, and when he came back, he was beaten, and at this time in the Incense Refining Academy, the situation is not very good." It just so happened that Dr. Li went back to Dongmian Province to see if he could ask the county lord to tell Doctor Mo and let him go over and take a look. ”

Huaxi didn't have time to ask in detail, so she first called Cui Ming to invite the imperial doctor who was resident in the mansion, "Cui Ming, go and ask Imperial Doctor Mo to come over." Mu Xi, you lead the way, I'll go over and see Fan Yun. ”

Huaxi walked all the way to the Incense Refining Courtyard, and only then did he ask the ins and outs of the matter on the way. It turned out that someone went to the shop two days ago to make trouble, and the nursing home kicked people out. Today, Fan Yun went to the shop to deliver goods, and he didn't want to be surrounded when he came back, he and the two delivery guards were beaten half to death, and Fan Yun was the most seriously injured. However, Fan Yun recognized that the leader was the one who went to the shop the day before yesterday to make trouble.

Huaxi went to the incense refining courtyard to see Fan Yun, her nose was blue and her face was swollen, her face was covered with blood, and she was unconscious. After Dr. Mo came to take a look, he said that his hand was broken, and two ribs were broken on his body, but he didn't hurt his internal organs. Mu Xi helped the imperial doctor to apply medicine and bandage it, and then went with the imperial doctor to get the medicine, and he was busy all the time.

Huaxi left Mu Xi in the Incense Refining Courtyard, and took people to see the other two guards who went with him, although the two were not as seriously injured as Fan Yun, but the injuries were not light. Huaxi asked the two about the details of the matter, but the two only said that the person who took the lead was the person who came to the shop the day before yesterday to make trouble.

Huaxi was annoyed, thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was strange, so she asked Bai Lan to observe the two of them when she went out.

After returning to Xiyuan, Huaxi sat by the kang and was silent, until Mu Xi came back to ask for peace, Huaxi noticed that her eyes were red, and she glanced at Mu Xi meaningfully, "Worried about Fan Yun?" "Mu Xi was taught by her, and she often helped in the incense refining institute, and now looking at her sad appearance, it seems that she has neglected something.

Mu Xi nodded, and said with a crying voice: "Before I came back just now, Brother Yun vomited blood. ”

"Wipe your tears first, didn't Dr. Mo say it, the blood is not cleared, so I have a fever, and I will be fine tonight after taking the medicine." Huaxi glanced at Cui Ming, Cui Ming took her handkerchief and handed it to Mu Xi, who took the handkerchief and said "um".

Huaxi asked again: "Fan Yun is also close to you on weekdays, do you know if he has offended people outside?" ”

Mu Xi shook his head, "Brother Fan followed the county lord to Xiyue, except for the brokers and merchants in the spice market, I haven't heard him mention that he is familiar with the people here. He is kind to people on weekdays, and I have never heard of him offending people. ”

"I didn't offend anyone, then these people went to Huaxi Xiangfang." Or maybe it's coming to the palace.

Huaxi turned his head and ordered, "Bailan, go and find out who did it?" These days are not peaceful in Beijing, you tell you to go down and act carefully. ”

Bai Lan retreated, Hua Xi looked at the wood rhino with red and swollen eyes, and said softly: "These ** will go to the Incense Refining Courtyard to watch, and take care of Fan Yun by the way, so as not to make you absent-minded." ”

"County Lord-" Mu Xi suddenly felt that he was out of shape, but he didn't know what to say, "Slave, slave is not ......"

Huaxi's eyebrows were crooked, and he looked at Mu Xi and said, "Okay, you don't have to say it, I understand it in my heart." Could it be that you don't look down on Fan Yun? So why are you still in such a hurry? ”

Mu Xi was told by Huaxi, his face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "The slave maid wants to follow the county lord, and you can send Sister Cui Ming to the Incense Refining Academy." ”

Cui Ming urged: "Don't, there are many things in the county lord's house, and I can't compare to you when it comes to making incense, so it's better for you to go." ”

Huaxi looked at the wooden rhinoceros with sharp teeth and sharp mouth on weekdays, and showed the delicate appearance of her little daughter, and said with a smile: "This is not an unsightly thing, it is rare for you to take a look...... As long as you are willing, when Fan Yun recovers from his injuries, I will ask him what he means. What do you see? "The wood rhino was brought by her from Dahua, and she is of the same age, so the friendship is different from others. Fan Yun was brought by Ouyang Zheng, she believed that Ouyang Zheng saw people's eyes, and the wood rhino was handed over to Fan Yun, and she also counted a matter of her heart.

Mu Xi nodded shyly, "The slave listens to the county lord." ”

sent Mu Xi to the Incense Refining Courtyard, and Bai Lan also returned.

"Lord Qiyu, it was the gangsters of the Dongcheng Three Red Gang who injured Fan Yun, but it was Xun Zhengnan's subordinates who bought them."
