Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

At this time, Hui Dabao was kneeling aside, his mind in confusion. Unexpectedly, things developed in the opposite direction as they expected...

"Prince Xia... do you think that I just listened to Pei Yu's words and framed you!" said the empress.

Si Nanxing said, "Er Chen is not... Er Chen means... Although it cannot be proved that the men in black are not the deadliest servants trained by Erchen, there is no evidence that they are the deadliest servants of Erchen!"

The empress nodded and said, "What King Xia said makes sense, but there is one more thing. Lu Fang wants to tell me, why did you recruit a group of Nanhe people into Prince Xia's mansion recently?"

"This…"

Si Nanxing's face turned ugly again.

"Prince Xia, what's your explanation?" the empress said calmly.

Si Nanxing's face turned pale and he said, "After returning to my mother... I recently wanted to plant some spiritual trees and herbs in my house, so I asked my servants to recruit some craftsmen. Maybe my servants didn't know the origins of those craftsmen and recruited them into the house by mistake... Erchen Go back and repel those people!"

"It turns out that King Xia just wanted to plant some spiritual trees and spiritual grasses, but I thought too much about it. I just thought that the Nanhe people were good at making weapons and magic weapons, and forgot that they were also good at cultivating them. Please ask the emperor to talk to you." King Xia, forgive me!" Lu Fang said respectfully, standing behind Quan Cao.

snort!

As soon as Lu Fang finished speaking, Quan Cao sneered and said, "Although King Xia said that the Nanhe people were recruited into the palace to cultivate spiritual creatures, and he did not dare to speculate based on his humble position, but the Nanhe people have always been under the direct control of the imperial court and have been expressly prohibited from doing so. Recruiting for private use, His Highness King Xia is breaking the law knowingly!"

Nangong Xing said, "Master Quan... you are absolutely right... this is indeed inappropriate!"

Quan Cao showed a proud smile and said, "Your Highness, King Xia, don't blame your humble position for being too talkative. Earlier, Lord Pei Yu saw His Highness with a group of unidentified men in black. Later, Lord Lu found out that His Highness was secretly recruiting people from Nanhe. Although I don’t believe that His Highness has any evil intentions, your Highness, Mr. Guatian, these actions of Your Highness really worry me as the chief manager of the palace!”

Nangong Xing let out a long sigh and said, "Sir Quan, although your guess has some basis, you don't have conclusive evidence to prove that this king has done something treacherous and unethical. You are making wild guesses in case I am wronged." , wouldn’t it mean that you have lost the way of a minister!”

Quan Cao sneered, "Your Highness King Xia, what I just said was not intended to frame you. It's just that as a senior manager in the palace, I am responsible for the safety of the emperor and the safety of the court. I must be loyal to the emperor and to my duties, even if There is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, and you have to be extremely careful when you humble your position. Therefore, when you humble your position, you are fulfilling the way of a minister, not losing the way of a minister!"

Si Nanxing said, "Master Quan is right, but as I said just now, there is indeed no conclusive evidence to prove that I have committed a treasonous act!"

Quan Cao said, "That being said, Your Highness's actions are indeed suspicious!"

Si Nanxing let out a long sigh and saluted the empress, "Mother, although my sons and ministers are stupid, they have absolutely no treasonous intentions. Please be aware of this!"

"King Xia, it's not that I don't care about the love between mother and son, it's just that King Xia's behavior really worries me!" the empress said coldly.

"Mother and queen... sons and ministers..."

"King Xia, I know that this country originally belonged to your Sinan family, but now it is controlled by my foreign surname. You must be unwilling to accept it!"

Si Nanxing said with an ugly face, "Mother and Queen... I have absolutely no such treasonous thoughts!"

The empress continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have this idea or not. If your Sinan family had the ability, this country would not fall into the hands of others. You are the only one left in your Sinan family. It is because I miss my mother and son. King Xia, you should be grateful, but your behavior is really disappointing to me, King Xia, do you know your guilt?"

"Mother and queen... sons and ministers..."

"Absolutely not..."

Si Nanxing wanted to explain, but he almost opened his mouth. Finally, he sighed deeply and said with a pale face, "I know my guilt..."

At this moment, Hui Dabao's heart was filled with chills, and he regretted following them into the palace. He secretly decided that if the empress wanted to chop off their heads in front of them, he would have no choice but to run away...

"Hey... although King Xia is not grateful, I can't get rid of the love between mother and son..." The empress suddenly looked sad.

"Your Majesty, I know that you have a kind heart. However, the family has family rules and the country has national laws. If the emperor only cares about personal affairs and does not punish him, it will be like letting ants nest in the dam or ignoring minor illnesses. What a disaster!"

Quan Cao suddenly stood up and said loudly.

The empress nodded and said, "What Director Quan said is true. If the son fails to teach, it is the mother's fault. Director Quan must obey his orders. From now on, the salary of Prince Xia's Mansion will be halved, and the guards of Prince Xia's Mansion will be halved as punishment. Prince Xia, you can accept?"

Si Nanxing said solemnly, "I am willing to be punished!"

The empress said, "I hope King Xia can understand my painstaking efforts and stop disappointing me!"

Si Nanxing knelt down and said, "I will keep this in my heart!"

The empress nodded with satisfaction.

Quan Cao suddenly said loudly, "Your Majesty...is this punishment..."

"Okay, I'm tired, you all should step aside!" the empress suddenly interrupted.

Quan Cao hesitated to speak, and finally said respectfully, "I resign from my humble position!"

"I resign from my humble position!"

"My son retire!"

People in the hall turned around and walked out of the hall.

At this time, the empress on the couch suddenly said, "Quan Cao, please stay. I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Yes!" Quan Cao stopped and stayed where he was.

For some reason, after the empress stopped Quan Cao, Lu Fang, Pei Yu and others quickened their steps and walked out of the palace. Si Nanxing followed closely, waving her big treasure and eager to leave. Seeing that they all quickened their pace, they even trotted out. .

In the palace!

Seeing that everyone else had gone out, Quan Cao said to the empress, "Master, what are your orders?"

The empress said, "Have you heard that the Dongyi Empire's envoy is coming to Zhaoge soon?"

Quan Cao said, "Disciple heard that the envoy from the Dongyi Empire heard from the spies that it will take more than ten days to reach Zhaoge!"

The empress nodded and said, "Well, you can arrange a reception then!"

Quan Cao said, "Disciple understands!"

"Hmm... Hey, I'm really old. I just sat there for such a while, and I feel a little uncomfortable..."

The empress straightened her body, and the sharp edges of her breasts rose and fell with her breasts, so magnificent...

Quan Cao stared at the empress intently, licked his lips, raised his head and said to the maid, "You all go down, I have something important to report to the emperor!"

The four maids bowed and walked out of the palace in unison.

When Quan Cao saw that the maids had gone out, he turned to stare at the empress. He saw the empress tapping her left shoulder with her hand and said, "Master, do you feel uncomfortable in your shoulder? Ask my disciple to massage it for you!"

The empress didn't speak, she just changed her posture and tapped her right shoulder.

Quan Cao walked to the couch, knelt down behind the empress, and began to gently massage her shoulders.

The empress slowly closed her eyes, seeming to enjoy Quan Cao's shoulder rubbing. Slowly, she felt the warm hands gradually slide from the hard shoulders to the soft waist and abdomen. An inexplicable feeling of comfort made her moan...

The candle next to the bed began to flicker for some unknown reason...
