"This is Nie Guard!" Lu Qian replied.

saw Zhou Shuran's careful thoughts at a glance, and continued to explain

"Because I want to avoid the pursuit of those officers and soldiers, I asked Nie to guard your clothes on the ship, and I pretended to be a husband and wife to hide people's eyes."

"I didn't expect that Nie's guards would be superb in martial arts, and their appearance would also be captivating." Seeing this, Xia Wenzhi also praised it.

Although Guan Huanghuang hung on Lu Qian, seeing that he directly ignored himself, he put his face in front of him and said aggrievedly

"Mr. Lu, can't you see me?"

Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Guan... You come down first... Of course I saw you! You're hanging on me like this, and I can't talk to you."

Guan Daofeng then ordered Guan Huanghuang to come down.

She is also worried about how to stabilize her relationship with Lu Qian. Let Guan Huanghuang's temperament be.

Anyway, Lu Qian is a eunuch, and he will not suffer.

After Guan Huanghuang got down from Lu Qian's body.

Lu Qian looked at Xia Wenzhi with a slightly anxious expression on the side, and said, "Your Highness, let's take a step to speak."

Xia Wenzhi nodded repeatedly.

Guan Daofeng and the others were also very knowledgeable and did not follow.

"Your Highness! Let's not be in a hurry, just as I was going up the mountain. I saw that Xia Xingbang had returned, and he should have entered Kyoto by now." Lu Qian opened his mouth and said.

"Isn't there a hurry? If Xia Xingbang returns to the imperial city, he will definitely take the credit for the negotiation. When the time comes, won't we be busy in vain?" Xia Wenzhi was obviously a little anxious.

"Your Highness, which is more important, life or the position of the crown prince?" Lu Qian asked with a torch in his eyes.

Xia Wenzhi said, "Nature is life."

"That's right, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! Trust me, we just need to be the same! And the peace talks are still in your hands." Lu Qian asked.

Xia Wenzhi nodded.

Lu Qian said, "Your Highness, give me the peace talks."

Xia Wenzhi nodded and took it out.

After Lu Qian took it, he asked Xia Wenzhi to write a letter according to what he said.

"Father, the son is all right. When everything is settled, the retainers will come back."

Xia Wenzhi was still waiting for Lu Qian to continue.

Lu Qian was silent.

"Gone?"

"That's enough! The emperor is not a faint king. I'm sure he'll know it after he sees it." Lu Qian opened his mouth and said.

"My father already doted on Concubine Hua, and he was more partial to the sixth brother. We handed in all the last chips... If the father and emperor make the sixth brother the crown prince, won't we lose and lose?" Xia Wenzhi said disapprovingly.

Lu Qian smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case! Even if you become the prince, how long can you sit still! Believe me, Your Majesty will not make Xia Xingbang the crown prince!"

This question was figured out by Lu Qian on the way back.

Since ancient times, the most taboo is to be a master of high merit.

Now Huo Xiaolin almost directly and indirectly controls all the forces of Great Xia.

As long as Xia Jiuyuan is not mentally retarded, he knows that he will find a way to check and balance.

Before, Lu Qian thought that Xia Jiuyuan was a faint monarch, but now he can see it clearly.

Xia Jiuyuan is more powerful than he imagined.

On the one hand, he is clearly spoiling the people of Jingyang Palace, but on the other hand, he is supporting Li Xiaozheng's forces.

Without Xia Jiuyuan's covert support, Li Xiaozheng and the others would not have been able to fight against Huo Yingluan and other generals in the court.

If you understand this truth, all the problems will be solved.

"Since, Mr. Lu said so. Then, everything is up to Mr. Lu." Xia Wenzhi looked at Lu Qian's sworn appearance, and he didn't answer the question and answer.

"Now that Kyoto is surrounded by the Huo family like an iron bucket, who can go in and deliver this letter." Xia Wenzhi said.

"Nie Guard, you've seen her too

Kung Fu." Lu Qian said.

Xia Wenzhi nodded in understanding.

Lu Qian took the peace talk letter and Xia Wenzhi's handwritten letter and handed it to Nie Bing.

And explained it.

...

After Xia Xingbang entered Kyoto, he did not enter the palace.

went directly to General Huo's Mansion.

"Uncle, did you catch that Xia Wenzhi? I almost didn't tire myself out along the way." Xia Xingbang drank a cup of tea and said to Huo Yingluan.

"Nope! But don't worry. He's clearly hiding! Now that you're back, it doesn't matter whether he's alive or dead. He won't be able to come in until you face the saint tomorrow... Your grandfather also wrote to him and said that when the dust settles, spare his life." Fok Yingluan said.

Xia Xingbang nodded, showing a hint of ruthlessness, and said, "That's really cheap him!"

...

Inside Jingyang Palace.

Empress Xiaojing was wearing plain clothes, and her whole person was a little haggard, obviously losing a lot of weight.

"Sister Concubine Xi, I didn't expect you to come and see me, a person who has lost power."

Seeing this, Concubine Xi said, "Sister, you're polite. I am also a person who has been left out in the cold, so I naturally know my sister's heart. But today I have come to give you good news."

"Daoxi? I have lost the eldest prince, why do you want to come! Sister, you're not here to entertain me, are you? I have no grudge against you." Empress Xiaojing's face was a little unkind.

"Sister, where did you start talking about this... I'm glad you so. Is Your Highness still alive?"

As he spoke, he handed a letter that Nie Bing had given her to Empress Xiaojing.

After Empress Xiaojing opened the letter, her eyes couldn't help but light up a little.

"Sister! This... This... Is this news true? How did you find out?" Empress Xiaojing's whole body trembled.

"Sister, did you forget? It's our father's shadow escort who guards His Highness!" Concubine Xi couldn't help but say with a hint of arrogance on her face.

"What a joy! My family Zhi'er even negotiated the negotiation!" Empress Xiaojing excitedly grabbed Concubine Xi's hand and said.

Concubine Xi smiled and said, "Sister, I didn't lie to you."

"Is my Ji'er okay then? Where is he now... Why don't you come back?" Empress Xiaojing asked anxiously.

Concubine Xi relayed Nie Bing's words, and Empress Xiaojing said, "Just let me give the letter to Your Majesty? Don't say anything?"

Concubine Xi nodded and said, "Your Highness instructs, please do it."

Empress Xiaojing nodded, not daring to slack off.

After thanking the former concubine, he went directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

only to find that Xia Jiuyuan was not there.

"I don't know, where did Your Majesty go? Did you go to Jingyang Palace?" Empress Xiaojing asked the eunuch on duty in the Heart Cultivation Hall in a little anxious.

The little eunuch shook his head and said, "Back to Niangniang, the emperor is not going to Jingyang Palace, but Liyang Palace!"

"Liyang Palace? Concubine Li's side?" Empress Xiaojing said with a face full of disbelief.

The little eunuch nodded, and then stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have been sleeping in Liyang Palace for the past two days."

The best emperor
