Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Xu An swallowed his saliva, wanting to cry but unable to.

The incident of breaking into the princess's mansion yesterday has now become a big deal.

Wouldn't it be a way to get himself killed if he entered the palace now?

Maybe Xiao Lan'er, that little girl, has already complained to the queen about him.

"Sun Diao Si, can we discuss this..."

As soon as Xu An opened his mouth, Sun Diao Si knew what he wanted to say, and shook his head and said, "The queen said that if the young master doesn't want to enter the palace by himself, then this old slave will break your legs... and drag you into the palace."

So cruel!

Xu An felt his legs trembling. This woman could really do such a thing.

"Uh... How could it be? I haven't seen the queen for a long time. It's time to go to the palace to pay my respects."

Xu An turned his head to look at Chen Hu and said, "Cheng Hu, the queen summoned me, let's..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Hu, who was originally standing not far away, shudder coldly.

Then he staggered and touched his head, and fell to the ground with a bang!

——Dizzy!

Others, including Zhao Gao, who was bruised and swollen, all looked up at the sky, as if they didn't know him!

Damn, no loyalty.

Xu An wanted to hit someone immediately, but when he saw the smiling Sun Diao Si, he could only suppress his anger and turned around and went downstairs obediently.

Oh, what a mistake!

I should have brought Qing Yi with me earlier.

With her, even if he couldn't beat them, she could at least help him get reinforcements!

"Take them to the patrol camp and hand them over to General Cheng for disposal."

Sun Diao Si glanced at Cheng Hu and others, smiled and waved his hand.

The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and took all the people who were fighting to the patrol camp.

After Xu An left Mingyue Tower, he got on the carriage prepared by Sun Diao Si and headed for the palace.

Half an hour later, the carriage entered the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xu An saw the crown prince Xiao Yuanlang just about to leave the palace.

"Xiao Yuanlang, help!"

Xu An immediately lifted the curtain and asked for help.

"Stop the car."

Seeing Xu An, Xiao Yuanlang raised his hand to ask Sun Diao Si to stop the carriage.

After arresting Xu An from the carriage, he said to Sun Diao Si: "You wait here, don't follow."

After warning Sun Diao Si and others, Xiao Yuanlang pulled Xu An to the corner of the palace wall.

"Xu An, are you crazy? Why did you accept the task of the Dongyu Mission for no reason? Do you know that this matter can kill people if you are not careful?"

Xiao Yuanlang has a relatively gentle personality, and he is at the opposite extreme from his noisy predecessor, but these two extremes are very good friends.

Do you think I want to?

This is not forced!

But now I want to drag you into the water, can I tell you the truth?

Xu An slapped Xiao Yuanlang on the back of his head and said, "What are you talking about? This young master took on this task for you, of course!"

"For me? Xu An? Do you believe what you said? Don't blame me."

Xiao Yuanlang distanced himself from Xu An. He knew Xu An too well to be fooled.

Has this guy cheated him many times?

"Xiao Yuanlang, are you an idiot?"

Xu An approached Xiao Yuanlang and immediately started to deceive him: "Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, and he wants to reform and strengthen the country, but the civil service group is too close, so he has never had much chance."

"And the arrival of the Dongyu delegation is a crisis, but also a rare opportunity."

"As long as we win, Your Majesty will have the opportunity to rectify the government, reshuffle the officials of Daqian, and disrupt the pattern of civil servants sticking together."

"Besides, Daqian is your Xiao family's kingdom. Anyone can hide, but you definitely can't."

Xiao Yuanlang pondered for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

I actually felt that what Xu An said… made some sense.

Soon, he was alert again: "Xu An, do you want to drag me to die with you?"

"Get lost, you're the one dying, stop cursing me."

Xu An put his arm around Xiao Yuanlang's shoulders and said, "Brother, listen to me."

"This time, Dongyu and Daqian are competing for literary fortune. If I win, I will become the new representative of Daqian's literary world, and my prestige will be at its peak."

"My father is the Grand Marshal of Daqian's army, controlling the nine guards of the capital and the three armies of the northern border, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command."

"If I become the representative of the world's scholars, then my Xu family will have all the conditions for rebellion. Do you want to see your father kill me?"

Xiao Yuanlang's face suddenly changed.

He was not a fool. He understood Xu An's meaning in an instant and said, "So, you want me to be the chief officer, and you to assist me, so that I can bear the prestige? But..."

He stared at Xu An: "Are you overthinking it? Ask the whole of Kyoto, who believes you can win?"

"I believe I can win!" Xu An patted his chest and promised.

He's the one who's pretending.

It's still Xiao Yuanlang who's going to win the reputation.Come, otherwise it will be too dangerous.

Xiao Yuanlang didn't believe Xu An could win, but after a pause, he nodded.

He is the prince. If he is the chief officer, he can bear most of the blame if Xu An loses and save Xu An.

At most, he will lose the position of prince!

"Okay, I need to ask my father for instructions."

"Because of the flood in Jiangnan, there are many more victims in Kyoto."

"Zhang Anshi and others are afraid that the Dongyu envoys will laugh at us Daqian for the victims everywhere, so they joined forces with the cabinet to drive all the victims out of the city for the sake of face."

"In just three days, there have been three cases of refugees rioting."

"Now, my father sent me to appease the refugees."

Refugees rioting?

Xu An frowned slightly. His father left home for the military camp in the morning, probably because of this matter.

"How many refugees are there outside the city now?" He looked at Xiao Yuanlang and asked.

"More than 20,000, and it is still increasing now." Xiao Yuanlang said.

"The Dongyu envoys will arrive in Beijing in two days. No matter what you do, you can't completely solve the problem of the disaster victims."

Xu An thought for a moment and said, "Besides, there is no need to hide the problem of the disaster victims from the Dongyu envoys. How could they not know about the refugees all the way here?"

"You ask people to build a porridge shed to distribute porridge first, and ensure that no one will starve to death. After solving the Dongyu envoys, I will teach you how to manage the refugees."

Xiao Yuanlang glared at Xu An with disbelief on his face: "You also know how to provide disaster relief?"

"Of course, I dare to admit that I am second to none."

Xu An caught Xiao Yuanlang and said, "But now, come with me to see the Queen Mother."

See the Queen Mother?

Xu An, you are so good, you are waiting for me here?

Xiao Yuanlang shuddered coldly, and pushed away Xu An's hand, saying righteously: "I still have things to deal with, it's very urgent..."

"Get out, that's your mother, what are you afraid of?"

Xu An caught Xiao Yuankang and walked towards the harem: "Are we brothers? If we are brothers, we have to share the same difficulties."

Xiao Yuanlang's mouth twitched slightly, you said so much nonsense to me, just to trick me and you to go to see the mother, right?

I shouldn't have stopped your carriage!

...

After a stick of incense.

Xu An and Xiao Yuanlang came to Shulan Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xu An saw the queen sitting in the yard doing needlework, and Princess Xiao Lan'er stood behind her, massaging her shoulders.

Oh my god, this woman is really here!

Xu An resisted the urge to turn around and leave, pushed Xiao Yuanlang in front to block the disaster, and then followed into Shulan Hall.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao Lan'er looking at him murderously.

Xu An could only pretend to ignore it.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother."

"Your humble servant greets the Queen."

Xiao Yuanlang and Xu An bowed together.

The Queen did not even raise her head, but gently pointed to the ground with her fingertips: "Kneel down."

Xu An and Xiao Yuanlang knelt in a row without any hesitation.

"Xu An, I heard a lot of rumors today. I heard that you have become a hero in Kyoto and everyone admires you? Is that right?"

When the Queen's gentle voice came, Xu An's back instantly felt cold and sweaty!

Isn't this about trespassing into the Princess's mansion?
