Seeing that Ruihe took out her favorite dishes on weekdays, Qin Shuhuang lost any appetite and became annoyed in his heart.

After eating a few bites casually, Qin Shuhuang put down the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the bedroom to rest.

When Qin Shuhuang rested, Xie Xuanye quickly got the news that Qin Shuhuang didn't take a few sips of food.

He was not at ease, so he went to Yuanxiang Garden in person, planning to stay overnight in Yuanxiang Garden.

But just as he was about to enter Qin Shuhuang's bedroom, he was stopped by Ruihe Ruimiao.

Ruihe said helplessly: "Lord Wang, Your Highness ordered that no one should be disturbed, including you, Lord Wang." ”

Xie Xuanye, who was wearing a mask, paused at the door of the inner room, he glanced inside, waited for a while, and left.

As soon as he left, Ruihe hurriedly went in to report to Qin Shuhuang, "Your Highness, after the prince learned that you didn't let him in, he waited for a while and left. ”

Qin Shuhuang's voice in the account was flat, and he couldn't hear his emotions, "This palace knows." ”

Ruihe withdrew, frowned and sighed in his heart, and arranged for Ruimiao to leave at night.

Xie Xuanye failed to stay overnight in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and soon returned to Zhenbei Wangfu.

And Xuan Cang, the commander of the personal guards, who had been resting in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, walked out of his small courtyard and took the initiative to go to Yuanxiang Garden to watch the night.

Slowly in late autumn, the temperature in the capital dropped a lot, especially at night, it was colder, and the guards on duty at night wore cotton cloaks, but Xuan Cang was still dressed in black and guarded outside Qin Shuhuang's room with a sword.

In the middle of the night, Qin Shuhuang asked Rui Miao to send a bowl of longan lotus seed soup to Xuan Cang, who was keeping vigil.

Rui Miao said: "This is His Royal Highness asked the slave maid to send condolences to the commander, His Royal Highness said, more deeply, there are guards patrolling in the eldest princess's mansion, and the commander doesn't have to stay here in person, so let's go back and rest early." ”

Xuan Cang took a sip of the longan lotus seed soup and drank it, "Your Highness was assassinated two days ago, I don't worry, it will be better to guard it in person, tell Your Highness that it is your subordinate's duty to guard His Highness's safety, and His Highness doesn't need to worry about it." ”

Rui Miao smiled, "But His Royal Highness will go to the court early tomorrow morning, if the commander does not rest tonight, where will he have the spirit to escort His Highness to the palace tomorrow." ”

Xuan Cang was stunned for a moment, and decided to fight for the king of Zhenbei, "I heard that the prince is back today, won't the prince accompany His Royal Highness to the court tomorrow?" ”

Without waiting for Rui Miao to speak, Qin Shuhuang's voice came out of the room, and his words were not shocking, "Xuan Cang, if you don't want to go back to your courtyard to sleep, go into the dormitory of the palace to accompany the palace." ”

Xuancang: ......

Xie Xuanye, who rushed to sleep with him, was completely defeated by Xuan Cang this time.

Fortunately, there is night cover, otherwise Xuan Cang, who is already red through his ears, will not dare to raise his head at this time.

He quickly glanced up at Rui Miao, and saw that Rui Miao had no expression on his face, as calm as usual, Xuan Cang calmed himself down a little.

He arched his hand into the room, "It's a subordinate who is not thoughtful, so go back and rest." ”

After speaking, he reluctantly glanced at the room where Qin Shuhuang was, and turned to leave.

After seeing Xuancang out of the courtyard, Rui Miao turned back.

"Your Highness, Commander Xuancang has left."

Qin Shuhuang responded, "You can also go and rest." ”

Rui Miao retreated to the ear room to rest, always listening to Qin Shuhuang's movements, so that Qin Shuhuang was in need.

Originally, Qin Shuhuang should have thought about what would be played in the court tomorrow tonight, but the shadows of Xie Xuanye and Xuan Cang always lingered in his mind.

Thinking about it like this, Qin Shuhuang didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, Qin Shuhuang had just squinted for less than half an hour, and Rui Miao lightly reminded him outside the account that it was time to get up.

Qin Shuhuang answered, opened the tent curtain, Rui Miao came in to serve, and was startled when he saw the extra layer of blue and black under His Highness's eyelids, "Your Highness, you didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "The palace is fine, just put on a strong makeup, and prepare a cup of strong tea for the palace." ”

Ruimiao's eyes were worried.

Half an hour later, Qin Shuhuang arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion with all the preparations.

When I looked up, it was not Xuan Cang, who was dressed in black, who was standing by the carriage, but King Zhenbei who was wearing a mask and wearing a pro-dynasty uniform.

Of course, King Zhenbei, the only one with a different surname in Dawu, has court clothes, but after Xie Xuanye inherited the title, he faded out of the court and did not go to the court, plus he had no real power in the court, so the Ministry of Rites turned a blind eye and had no requirements for him not to go to the court. This also happens to be what the Regent Party and the Four Princes' Party are happy to see.

Xie Xuanye is here, of course Xuan Cang can't be there.

Qin Shuhuang's brows furrowed, she clearly said last night that she would let Xuan Cang escort her into the palace.

She paused and asked Lu Zhou, who was following her, "Steward Lu, where is Xuan Cang?" Call him to Hongu! ”

As soon as Lu Zhou was about to leave, he heard the king of Zhenbei not far away: "It was this king who asked Xuancang to stay in the palace today, and this king personally escorted His Royal Highness into the palace." ”

Qin Shuhuang walked up to Xie Xuanye, looking up at him with a dignified and beautiful face, "This palace doesn't know when the commander of the palace's personal guards became the prince, and he has only obeyed the orders of the prince." ”

Rao is Xie Xuanye, no matter how sluggish he was, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Qin Shuhuang's voice.

"Your Highness, this king will protect the safety of His Highness."

Qin Shuhuang didn't pay attention to Xie Xuanye's words at all, and said to Steward Lu beside him: "Could it be that Steward Lu has also become a person from the Zhenbei Palace?" ”

Hearing Qin Shuhuang say this, where did Lu Zhou dare to delay, and hurriedly asked people to find Xuan Cang.

He secretly complained in his heart about Xuan Cang, the people who never left His Highness's left and right before, why did he let His Highness lose face in front of the prince today!

Xie Xuanye was in front of Qin Shuhuang, how could he find Xuan Cang.

Xie Xuanye was a little anxious in his heart, but it was useless to be anxious, he couldn't split it into two.

Steward Lu's speed was very fast, and after a short time, he sent someone to run the entire Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Steward Lu listened to the little maid's report and said embarrassedly: "Your ...... Your Highness, Commander Xuancang is not in the mansion at this time......"

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xie Xuanye next to him and said, "Don't look for it, call Luda and Tang Meng to come!" ”

This time, the two quickly took their guards to the front of the house.

"Today, the two of you escorted the palace into the palace."

Hearing this temporary order, Luda and Tang Meng immediately responded, especially Tang Meng, whose faces could not be concealed with joy.

He has just been promoted to the deputy captain of Qin Shuhuang's personal guards, and he has not followed His Royal Highness into the palace, so he doesn't know what the palace is like, and he can feast his eyes on it today.

After speaking, he said to Xie Xuanye: "Don't bother the prince, when you come back, the palace will send Xuancang to the Zhenbei palace to be a guard for the prince." ”

Qin Shuhuang boarded the carriage and was escorted by Luda and Tang Meng to leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Where did Xie Xuanye think that Xuan Cang and King Zhenbei were both "disliked" by Qin Shuhuang, that incident happened, Xie Xuanye just wanted King Zhenbei to brush Qin Shuhuang's favor, where did he think that Qin Shuhuang seemed to reject King Zhenbei even more, and even Xuan Cang was angry.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang's carriage and horse quickly distanced themselves from him, Xie Xuanye looked stunned.

Xie Zhuo next to him couldn't bear to look at his master's disappointed eyes, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what should I do now?" ”
