After entering the palace, there were special eunuchs who settled all the beauties and items paid tribute from the Western Regions.

Then he took Lu Qian to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart to see the emperor.

After arriving at the Heart Cultivation Hall, the two of them stood at the door.

The little eunuch went to report.

In the hall, Xia Jiuyuan was approving a piece of music and looking at the battle reports from the front line.

All he felt was a buzzing pain in his head.

"Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu and His Royal Highness the Sixth are waiting outside the palace." After Gao Weixin heard the words of the little eunuch, he told the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Oh? Let them in."

Gao Weixin nodded and shouted to the side, "Pass!"

Xia Xingbang walked in with Lu Qian.

Although Lu Qian has been in the harem for a long time, this is the first time he has come to the Heart Cultivation Palace...

After taking a few steps forward, he saw Xia Jiuyuan sitting in the middle hall at a glance, but with a black face.

Lu Qian looked disappreciative, knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, Lu Qian! Fortunately, he did not disgrace the emperor's order and returned triumphantly! Thirty-six cities in the Western Regions have been conquered! Now the thirty-six cities in the Western Regions have expressed their willingness to pay tribute every year. This time, they paid tribute to a lot of rare treasures, as well as a few daughters of the prince, to give your majesty! This is a list of gifts and tributes!"

Saying that, Lu Qian offered it with both hands.

At this time, after Gao Weixin stepped forward to take it, he showed it to Xia Jiuyuan.

After Xia Jiuyuan took it, he looked at the tribute book, his words were sincere, and he did give a lot of rare treasures.

Moreover, he had long heard that the beauties of the Western Regions had a unique flavor.

They actually paid a lot of tribute this time.

After reading the tribute book and the gift list, Xia Jiuyuan's expression eased a little, but his face was still dark.

"Hmph... Are you here to fool me?"

After he snorted coldly, he directly slapped the case and scolded Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, you fornicated with foreign enemies and led troops to join the enemy, and now you are back, what are you tired of?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged... It was nothing more than a stopgap measure before! That's what I did to sweep the Western Regions! Minister, there is absolutely no betrayal of Great Xia, betrayal of Your Majesty! The minister's heartfelt heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon." Lu Qian said prostrate on the ground.

"Hmph... Did you shout it yourself? And how can you prove it?" Xia Jiuyuan asked in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, can't this tribute and gift list prove it? There are the seals of the thirty-six cities of the Western Regions on it!" Lu Qian said.

"I've heard about it. You are uniting the Western Regions, and you deliberately want to take advantage of the fire to rob..." Xia Jiuyuan said.

Lu Qian snorted coldly and said sharply, "Your Majesty, it's just nonsense! If Your Majesty wants to rebel, I'm afraid that half of the Great Xia country has already been included in my bag!"

Xia Xingbang, who was on the side, heard Lu Qian's words, and his face turned pale with fright!

Gao Weixin's eyes widened, not knowing what Lu Qian was going to do!

Hurriedly said, "Lu Shangshu, I'm afraid you're tired and stupid all the way. What nonsense!"

Lu Qian naturally heard that Gao Weixin was helping him out of the siege, but Lu Qian didn't plan to get off the donkey.

Instead, he said, "Your Majesty, Mingjian! It's not a boast! Before, I didn't know the elite strength of the Huo family's army. It wasn't until I took our elite Huo family army in Great Xia that I found out that General Huo Lao definitely had a set of troops to lead his troops. Combined with the courtier's art of war! In the Western Regions, it is definitely a sweeping existence, and those Western Regions armies that are beaten are falling flowers! If we really were the opposite, I'd seen the defenders along the way. With the elite of the Huo family's army, it has been the strategy of the minister! It's not an exaggeration to ask for half of His Majesty's country!"

After Xia Jiuyuan listened to Lu Qian's words, his face was extremely ugly, and he almost gritted his back molars and said, "Then you mean, if you want to take half of my country, you can get it at your fingertips?"

Xia Xingbang on the side hurriedly persuaded Lu Qian in a low voice.

However, Lu Qian didn't listen to persuasion at all, and directly admitted, "Your Majesty is right!"

Xia Jiuyuan slapped the table heavily, "Hmph, it's really arrogant!" Come... Beat me into the sky with this maniac

Prison!"

As soon as Xia Jiuyuan's words fell, more than a dozen armor soldiers wearing armor walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, why are you arresting me... I'm just stating the facts! And I'm not going to do the opposite. I was born as a Great Xia person, and I died as a Great Xia ghost! Your Majesty has the grace of knowing me and the grace of promotion. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would still be a eunuch now! Since ancient times, how can there be a eunuch who is a scholar. If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, how could the minister be where he is today!" Lu Qian said hurriedly in a loud voice.

"Humph! You also know that everything you have now is from me to you. Do you dare to talk to me like that? Don't you think it's too arrogant?" Xia Jiuyuan frowned slightly and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has lost his word... However, what the minister said was the truth. The reason why the minister said this is to wake up His Majesty and let His Majesty know that the minister is not a mediocre person, and Huo Jiajun is not a mediocre person! We can work for Great Xia! I just want to wake up Your Majesty, don't be blinded by the female cadre!" Lu Qian said that his acting skills were full of tears, and he began to speak with emotion.

Seeing this, Xia Jiuyuan stopped the forbidden army with a wave of his big hand, and then said, "Where do you start with this! Your talent, as well as your ability to lead soldiers, I naturally know. The elite combat power of the Huo family's army, I naturally know it."

"Your Majesty, then I'm afraid you don't know... After we set out on the expedition, we never received a grain of rice or grass from the imperial court! We were starving to death in the desert... Only then did she have to surrender to the empress of Shanshanguo."

"Later, I learned in the Western Regions... His Royal Highness Xia Yan actually bought off many people in the Western Regions, thinking that I and the Huo family army would die! We were on a journey for Great Xia, but we didn't expect... You also have to guard against the framing of the female villain behind you! Therefore, I just said this to tell Your Majesty that we have not betrayed after all these things, and we have no reason to betray!"

"We are still the most loyal and combat-ready army in Great Xia!" Lu Qian said with a distressed expression.

"What? You've never received supplies! And what you said about Xia Yan wanting to frame you? Do you have proof?" Xia Jiuyuan asked with a gloomy face as he listened.

Lu Qian looked at Xia Jiuyuan's appearance, and smiled in his heart, his goal was achieved.

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Return to Your Majesty, if there is no evidence. How dare the minister falsely accuse the prince! The minister dared His Royal Highness Xia Yan to confront him face to face! If what the minister says is half false, the minister is willing to repay it with his life!"

Seeing this, Xia Jiuyuan looked at Lu Qian with slightly narrowed eyes and said, "Okay, if what you said is true, I will definitely give you an explanation!" If you falsely accuse my prince, I will kill you! Gao Weixin, go and call Xia Yan to me!"
