Zixia Palace is the dormitory of Princess Reyihan of Beiting, and at this time, dozens of officials, large and small, knelt outside the palace gate, up to Xiangguo Taifu, and down to Chang'an Mansion Yin. It has been a few hours since the emperor vomited blood, and dozens of imperial doctors took turns to take care of him, although the emperor had woken up, he still did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The crown prince Xia Lang and the queen came to the gate of Zixia Palace surrounded by a group of palace people, and the four golden-clothed guards stretched out their hands to stop them, and the chief guard arched his hand and said: "The queen mother, the prince forgives the sin, the emperor is in poor health, and he ordered not to see anyone, please forgive me!"

The queen frowned, and shouted: "Presumptuous, do you know the identity of this palace? Dare to be majestic in this harem, does the head on your neck want to move!"

"The queen's mother forgives her sins, it is really the emperor's order, and she dare not disobey her humble duties!" The chief of the guard knelt on one knee and knelt in front of the queen, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

"You ......" The queen was so angry that Feng Guan trembled slightly, pointed to his nose, and was speechless for a long time.

At this time, a white dress crashed into everyone's eyes, Xia Xuehan had wind under his feet, and a few disillusionments came to the palace gate.

The chief of the guard secretly complained in his heart, this Langya King's status is not as good as that of the crown prince, if he is angry...... But if he disobeyed the emperor's will, Long Yan was angry, where did he have his life.

After thinking about it again, he still raised his hand to stop Xia Xuehan, and arched his hand and said: "King Langya, forgive me, Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, and you have ordered no guests!"

"Even so, it's inconvenient to disturb Your Majesty, Xue Han is only guarding outside!" Xia Xuehan smiled lightly and stood still outside the palace gate, and the chief of the guard also breathed a sigh of relief.

"King Langya's ears and eyes are really accessible, it's really fast!" Xia Lang glanced up and down at Xia Xuehan, and said in a weird way.

"The prince has won the award, and as a minister, he has served since he was a saddle and a horse. Unconsciously, the two secretly competed again.

A smile rose at the corner of Xia Lang's mouth, leaned on Xia Xuehan's ear, and said softly: "I'm afraid that Lord Taibao Han's recital is inseparable from King Langya!

Xia Xuehan stretched out his hand and patted Xia Lang's shoulder, Xia Lang's knees were weak, and he almost knelt down, and also leaned on his ear and said: "The prince praised falsely, helped Qin Xiaoze frame his teacher, and made the emperor so angry that he couldn't afford to be sick, this strategy of killing two birds with one stone, Xue Han sighed to himself!"

Xia Lang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "In this case, our game can be described as equal!"

At this time, a little eunuch opened the door of the palace, flashed out, and waved at Xia Xuehan, "The emperor has a decree to summon King Langya to meet him, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter!"

Xia Xuehan put his hand on Xia Lang's fist, pressed it gently, and said with a smile: "It's not a common situation to divide evenly, this time it's Xue Han who has a slight advantage!" After speaking, the white clothes fluttered and walked towards Zixia Palace, leaving only a dashing and arrogant back.

"Bastard, sooner or later, this kid will be worse off than dead!" the queen said with hatred as she gritted her silver teeth.

Xia Lang just stood in front of the palace gate, his knuckles pinched with a pair of fists turned white, and his eyes like blades looked at Xia Xuehan's back until he disappeared.

As soon as you step into the Zixia Palace, there is a rich fragrance of violets, everything here is purple, purple veils, purple quilts, purple mirrors, and the purple people who serve in front of the dragon bed.

Xia Xuehan walked to the bed gently, gave a salute, and said, "Weichen sees Your Majesty, and wishes my emperor Sheng'an!"

The emperor waved his hand at the palace people, and said weakly: "You all retreat!" raised his eyes to look at Princess Reyihan on the side, hesitated, and said, "Concubine Lan also retreats first!"

"Yes!" Princess Reyihan gave a salute, turned to leave, and looked at Xia Xuehan at first sight, and really lived up to the name of calamity. Although the physiognomy is slightly different from that of the Central Plains woman, the jewel-like pale blue eyes are like a spring water on the snow-capped mountains, and no matter how anxious people are, their hearts will be clear in front of these eyes. Dressed in a purple floor-length dress, she is like a blooming violet, so beautiful and fragrant.

Princess Reyihan looked at Xia Xuehan's heavenly face, and she was also slightly distracted, bowed, and said, "I have seen King Langya, the little girl has retired!" The voice is as pleasant and moving as a yellow warbler out of the valley, lingering for a long time, and refusing to disperse.

Xia Xuehan smiled slightly, as a return salute, walked to the emperor's side, and saw that Princess Reyihan and the palace people had withdrawn, the emperor raised his weak hand, pointed to a brocade stool and said, "Xuehan, you sit down, I have something to say to you!"

Xia Xuehan nodded, sat down next to the emperor, the emperor stretched out his pale hands and held Xia Xuehan's hands tightly, the majestic face was already pale without a trace of blood, squirmed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Xuehan, I don't know who to believe now, this may be the sadness of being born as an emperor." Although the emperor has power beyond the reach of the world, he is too lonely, he is always on guard against everyone around him, sometimes he doesn't even have a person who can say a word of confidant, he is too tired and lonely. ”

"Why did the emperor say this, the Taibao and the prime minister are all ministers of the pillars of the country, and Your Majesty can rest assured that he can trust him. Xia Xuehan said softly.

The emperor shook his head, held Xia Xuehan's hand with a little effort, and said: "I don't say hypocritical things to you today, I know that I don't have a few months to live, so I have to take advantage of the strength to speak now, and explain some things, so as to save the world from chaos in the future." ”

Xia Xuehan nodded and didn't speak, and the emperor asked, "What does Xue Han think of my stupid governance in the past few months?"

"Others may not know, but Xue Han can guess a thing or two. The emperor was worried that the crown prince's talent was insufficient and could not win the hearts of the people, so the emperor was slightly negligent in the government affairs, and when the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would implement benevolent government, and the people who had suffered some hardships would inevitably be attached wholeheartedly. The emperor has good intentions and is willing to bear notoriety, and this trip is worthy of the ancients. Xia Xuehan looked at the emperor in front of him, slightly distressed, at this time he was not the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, just a dying father, who wanted his son to go more smoothly in the future, and was willing to be misunderstood by the world.

The Emperor nodded and said, "Xue Han really knows my heart, if you are my crown prince, why do I need to waste so much thought." ”

Xia Xuehan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although the old man in front of him was so weak that he could only move his mouth, but his words still made him frightened, and he smiled lightly: "If the emperor doesn't blame the ministers for being rude, then serve the emperor as a father!"

The emperor's eyes flowed with endless joy, but after a moment, an inexplicable sadness flashed, and he looked at the delicate purple tent and did not speak for a long time.

"Xue Han, there are some things that I will tell you when I think about it!" The emperor moved his gaze to Xia Xuehan's face, and there was a faint pain in his heart, he really looked like that person, if they were still together, the family might be very happy!

The emperor turned his mind and asked, "Xue Han, what do you think of Qin Xiaoze and Han Taibao?"

Although Han Xuezhou has extensive knowledge, he is arrogant and domineering, but he does not seek political power in his position! In his humble opinion, he should be suppressed. "The chic and heavenly Xue Han son, since he was a child, has suffered from the orthodox Confucianism of "self-cultivation and family governance", so he naturally can't see corruption in the way.

The emperor waved his hand, turned his pale and weak face to the side, and said: "I don't know what Xue Han said, but I am old and want to live a pure and peaceful life, and these corrupt officials and thieves are powerless to punish them, so I will hand them over to you in the future! Xue Han, you can go too!"

Xia Xuehan just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but saw that the emperor had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, so he had to get up and leave.

When I exited the dormitory, I saw a violet growing in the quiet and lonely garden, beautiful and graceful, full of fragrance. She was born among a hundred flowers, swaying, cheerful and lively. The purple-clothed beauty next to the flower garden is holding a gold pot and watering the violet, the head of the violet is adorned with a crown of water droplets, and the lilac flowers are elegant and mysterious, dignified and holy.

Xia Xuehan stepped forward and saluted, "Xuehan has seen Concubine Lan!"

"Re Yihan, in our Beiting language is the meaning of violet, I have liked violet since I was a child, I heard my grandmother who served me since I was a child, it was a cold winter when I was born, and the violet of the entire Beiting was opened, and the fragrant fragrance lingered in Beiting for a month before dissipating. Re Yihan watered the flowers by himself, as if he hadn't heard Xia Xuehan's words.

Xia Xuehan looked at the beautiful and noble person in front of her with great interest, and when she saw her at first sight, she found that she was different from the other concubines in the harem.

"I want to come to Concubine Lan and come to Chang'an, and I have to have a last resort!" Xia Xuehan's gaze moved to the violet that was gently swaying in the breeze.

Reyihan put down the gold vessel in his hand, reached out and pinched a yellow leaf on the violet branch, and said: "Our Beiting is a subject country of Great Xia, if it was in previous years, the people would also be able to live a life of abundant food and clothing. But since the middle of last year, there has not been a drop of rain, and countless cattle and sheep have starved to death in the field due to lack of forage and water sources in the entire Beiting Red Land, as a princess of a country, how can I watch the people of Beiting suffer this calamity, even if I know that this Great Xia Deep Palace will never see the light of day, I have to come. ”

"When Princess Reyihan is thinking about the people of the Northern Garden, don't forget that you are now the Lan Concubine of Daxia, the emperor stays in Zixia Palace day and night, not to mention that the country is injured, and the people of Daxia are also a catastrophe. Princess, please think carefully about Xue Han's words today, Xue Han is a foreign minister, it is inconvenient to stay in the harem for a long time, and say goodbye!" The corners of the plain white clothes like snow swept over the delicate violet, and a petal bleached and fell, and Re Yihan stretched out his white hand to catch the lilac petals.

Looking at the light purple fragrance in the palm of his hand, Reyihan smiled bitterly: "For the sake of the people of Beiting, I left my favorite Ai Zezi and accompanied an old man day and night, who can understand my pain?"

As soon as Xia Xuehan stepped out of the palace gate, a group of adults surrounded him and asked about the emperor's illness, Xia Xuehan smiled lightly: "The emperor is fine, he will recover in a few days, my lords and go back first, don't delay government affairs, and make the emperor worried." ”

The civil and military officials fell to the ground with a hanging heart, and the appointment dispersed, and the queen glanced at Xia Xuehan viciously, and also left with the prince.

Xia Xuehan looked up at the somewhat overcast sky, the gray and depressing people were breathless, Xia Xuehan stretched out his hand.

"Click!" a drop of rain fell on Xia Xuehan's palm.

"It's raining!Can the violets survive the rain?" The bean-sized raindrops fell, getting heavier and heavier, and the white clothes did not stain a single drop of raindrops, and disappeared into the palace.
