The Regent is actually willing to go to the difficult southwest to kill locusts?

The entire court was shocked again.

Therefore, the Regent still cares about the people's livelihood and does not just eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.

There was a glint of joy in the eyes of several princes. Once the regent left, it would be easier to seize the position of emperor.

"I also want to help Your Majesty by going to the southwest to control the locust plague." Ning Yuancheng volunteered. He was worried that the regent would discover the secret that his sister was practicing medicine disguised as a man.

If I go with them, I can conceal my sister's identity so that she won't be coveted by men.

Moreover, the southwest region is mountainous and long, and it would be more reassuring for him, as his biological brother, to escort Luoer back and forth.

Ning Yuancheng's move made Ning Qingfeng feel much more at ease. He was the Minister of War, and if he left Beijing easily, civil unrest might break out and no one would suppress it.

These eight princes are not the kind of people who like to make trouble.

The fight for the throne may seem like an internal struggle within the royal family, but it actually concerns the livelihood of the people of Xia State.

When the world is at peace, one can live in peace even as a dog. When the world is in chaos, the first to be sent to the battlefield and sacrificed are the sons of ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, the emperor also said, "I will go too."

He simply wanted to go out and have fun.

There was nothing interesting to do in the palace these days except visiting the three palaces and six courtyards. It was so boring.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the ministers in the court had different expressions on their faces. Some were happy that this devil had left the palace, while others were surprised that this stupid king could suddenly care so much about the people.

Only a few ministers stood up to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, your body is precious. You must not go to the miasma-ridden area in the southwest."

"Your Majesty can only keep the world peaceful if he stays in the palace."

Li Yi also advised: "Your Majesty, please handle state affairs in the palace."

He didn't want the emperor to come along and affect his time alone with Doctor Luo.

Neither can my future brother-in-law.

"Young Master Ning has a heavy responsibility, so he doesn't need to go. Stay in the palace and serve as a tutor to His Majesty!"

As soon as the regent spoke, the emperor obeyed unconditionally, "Then I will stay in the palace, and please go and come back early, uncle."

Ning Yuancheng did not dare to disobey the regent's order.

The Ning family father and son were worried after leaving the court.

I'm really worried that Luoer's identity as a woman will be exposed.

The father and son were just about to discuss a countermeasure, but unexpectedly the Regent came quickly over with a gentle look on his face.

"My two Lords Ning, please stay."

Ning Qingfeng and his son's hearts suddenly tightened, and they turned around and saluted, "Regent."

Li Yi nodded and said straight to the point, "The trip to the southwest will depart tomorrow. You don't have to worry. I will treat Doctor Luo with courtesy. I have known Doctor Luo for many days."

That's such a close statement.

Did the Regent know that Doctor Nalo was actually his daughter?

Ning Qingfeng felt very nervous and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I… would like to thank the Regent for his concern on behalf of my future son-in-law."

Ning Yuancheng also gritted his teeth and followed suit to express his gratitude.

If the two princes knew that Dr. Luo was his sister, how would the situation end? It’s enough to make me feel dizzy just thinking about it.

Li Yi smiled and nodded, and said: "After I leave the capital, please both of you loyally assist His Majesty."

"If there is anything you cannot decide, you can send a pigeon to me."

"Yes." The two responded in unison, feeling both worried and happy when they thought that they would have to form a united front with the Regent in the future.

After Li Xuan left the court, he had nothing to do and went straight out of the palace. Qi Yue hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must go with us on the trip to the southwest to control the locusts. This is a very important event in your life."

"Don't let the Regent steal your limelight."

"How do you know that the court is going to send people to the southwest to control locusts?" Li Xuan was a little surprised. How could something that had just been discussed in the court be leaked so quickly?

The other guards were also puzzled: "Your Majesty, we don't know about this."

"I said I can tell fortunes, so I can predict this." Qi Yue explained hastily, "If the prince goes to the southwest, he will definitely gain something."

"No, if I leave the capital, wouldn't it be an opportunity for those seven foreign kings to seize the opportunity first?" Li Xuan said disdainfully: "The Regent King has gone with me, so if I go with him, the credit will not fall on me."

"Your Majesty, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't go with us." July advised earnestly.

"No, don't make any more noise, or get out of here!" Li Xuan shouted angrily and got on the carriage.

The Great Emperor Xuanwu, who was watching this scene in the Heavenly Palace, was almost mad with anger and ran away cursing.

[Fool, you came to the mortal world in this life to pursue the fairy Luoli, why are you fighting with mortals for the throne!]

In the mortal world, Li Xuan suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in from the carriage window. After a few crisp sounds, he felt as if he was slapped several times on the face, and his face suddenly felt hot and painful.

He was suddenly startled.

"How dare you! Who hit me?"
