Chapter 453

The maid shivered and knelt down: "I know my mistake. Please forgive me..."

Originally, a cup of tea had been kept for more than two quarters of an hour. It was already cold and did not see the Lord touch it. It happened that she had just changed a hot one here. Unfortunately, the Lord couldn't wait to bring it up for hot

When the burning Xiang King glanced at his maidservant, his eyes changed slightly.

The young maid was wearing a lotus root pink Bijia. At this time, she knelt there, revealing a delicate and white neck.

Xiang Wang felt an itch at the bottom of his heart, and his tone eased unconsciously: "raise your head and let me see."

The maid hesitated and nervously raised her head, revealing a clean and beautiful face.

Xiang Wang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although it's not a stunning thing, it's much better than those who hang around in front of him on weekdays - the female tiger in the family is very strict in this kind of thing on weekdays, which is really annoying.

Looking at the timid maidservant, the king of Hunan had some thoughts for a moment. Before he could put it into action, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, followed by a familiar voice across the bamboo curtain: "Lord, there are people in the palace. Please hurry into the palace..."

The new thought was interrupted. The king of Hunan frowned and said, "why do you let me enter the palace at this time?"

Is it because Jixiu has come to a conclusion that he is going to deal with his mother and concubine, and he is specially called into the palace to discuss?

While thinking, the king of Xiang got up from his couch and went out to see the housekeeper.

At this time, Fang saw that the housekeeper was vaguely flustered: "it was Han Tongling of the arrest guard who came to send a message, and brought a lot of people... Lord, you'd better prepare quickly..."

Arrest guard?

The king of Xiang's face changed slightly. When he was about to ask something, he only heard something coming from the courtyard. He turned to look outside the hall and saw that Han Yan, wearing a flying cloud knife around his waist, came personally with the arrest guard - this is his courtyard. How dare these people break in without notice!

"The Lord doesn't have to prepare anything." Han Yan strode up the stone steps, came to the door of the hall, arched his hands, looked at the king of Hunan and said, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, and please enter the palace immediately."

With those eyes that seemed to have no emotion, the king of Hunan fell in his heart and asked tentatively, "why is the emperor so anxious to see me?"

"When the prince goes, he will know."

"..." the king of Hunan secretly clenched his fingers in his sleeve.

The arrest guard is nothing but a dog in front of the emperor. I dare to be so rude to him.

And the more so, the more he felt that things were bad.

The king of Hunan turned his head and looked at the Housekeeper on his side: "I'll go back -"

Taking this look in his eyes, the housekeeper lowered his head and said "yes".

Han Yan leaned slightly to give way to the king of Hunan.

The king of Xiang went down the stone steps, stopped and looked back at Han Yan who was still standing outside the hall: "why, won't Han Tongling follow the king?"

"Han has other official duties. He has ordered his men to lead the way for the Lord."

Hearing this, the king of Hunan felt cold on his back. However, at this time, he could only go with the arrest guard.

As soon as the king of Hunan got on the carriage and left, Han Yan immediately ordered someone to surround the king's house and began a massive search.

It happened so suddenly that the whole Hunan palace fell into a flustered and tense atmosphere.

Under the close guard of the arrest guard, the gorgeous mansion seemed to turn into an unbreakable cage in an instant.

There are also four wanted guards at the back door of the palace.

"Follow me, here!"

"Come on, come on..."

"I saw it. It must have fallen here!"

The sound of children chasing came, and several wanted guards followed the sound.

The young boy knew nothing about the storm over the palace. The boy headed by him was about ten years old, with a slingshot in his hand and a group of small attendants behind him.

"Children, go away." seeing these children approaching, a wanted guard warned with a long knife around his waist.

Although the child was young, he had a keen sense of danger. About because he had done mischievous things, he was still majestic. The boys with a group of younger brothers were immediately scared and ran away.

Even though the other children didn't know what had happened, they ran away without hindering them.

"It's a pigeon."

A police guard found the injured white pigeon under a nearby corner - it should have been wounded by the children with a slingshot.

"No... it seems to be a carrier pigeon." the police guard lifted the pigeon, and a bamboo tube appeared under the feathers between the legs and abdomen of the comatose white pigeon.

The head of the arrest guard made a move in his eyes: "take down the things!"

At this time, the children had run away, cheering and frolicking and disappeared into the downtown.

The king of Xiang got off the carriage outside the Forbidden Palace and went all the way to the imperial study.

He was undoubtedly very nervous at this time.

But there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he was always cautious and could not be held by others.

At this time, the emperor called him into the palace, perhaps for the reason that he was good at advocating against the Empress Dowager. His imperial brother has always been suspicious, and maybe he still didn't believe his words

Later, whether it is tempting or criticizing and blaming, he just needs to take the old attitude and deal with the past carefully - as long as he can escape from the capital and return to Dianzhou safely, everything else is not important.

When the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, his majesty can't control what he wants to do.

After that, he no longer had to look up to others' noses and look at their faces.

The Xiang king, who had made up his mind to survive the temptation anyway, didn't know that it was not the so-called temptation waiting for him at this time.

"See you, brother."

In the imperial study, the king of Hunan bowed.

The sky was always gloomy, and the hall door behind him was closed slowly. It was still a muddy sight in the imperial book room in the daytime.

The two internal supervisors stood under the imperial steps with their hands down without making a sound. It seemed that all things in the huge hall were still, with unspeakable depression and mystery.

“……”

I haven't heard a response after the Dragon case for a long time. The king of Hunan raised his head slightly and asked: "... Brother, I don't know if the thorough investigation of Ji Xiu is going well?"

"Smooth -"

Emperor Qingming's cool voice sounded: "I'm trying to cover up for you. There's no reason why it's not going well."

"Yes, my younger brother knows that it's all up to the emperor to protect my younger brother..." the king of Hunan looked very ashamed and said: "don't worry, my younger brother really knows his mistake this time and won't dare to make a claim next time - although this matter is over, my younger brother's fault can't be easily erased. I hope my elder brother won't be soft hearted, just reduce the crime and punish it, so that my younger brother can really learn a lesson."

He said these words to show his sincerity in admitting his mistake. Even if he really had some punishment, once he left the capital, he would follow them if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to -- he would just ignore them.
