Chapter 394 The Stupid Queen 7

In the evening, the carriage of the prince's palace entered the palace. The imperial guards had been on alert all around. A carriage was parked inside the palace gate. A thin but not frail man had been waiting in front of the carriage for a long time. He wore a dark brocade robe that fitted his body, and had a dignified and majestic temperament. It was Gao Huang.

When the carriage of the palace approached, Gao Huang walked closer, stretched out his arm horizontally and paused it in the air, and said respectfully to the person in the carriage: "Your Majesty."

Hua Xia got out of the carriage and turned her eyes to Gao Huang's cuffs which were tightened by silver wristbands. Without putting her hands on them, she jumped straight off the carriage. Gao Huang paused for a moment, put his hand down, walked to another carriage, put down the footstool, and lifted the curtain.

The door curtain of the palace's carriage had been closed since Hua Xia jumped off the carriage, as if there was no one inside. Hua Xia stepped on the step and got on the carriage in front of her. Before entering, she turned her head and glared at Xiao Lie in the carriage through the curtain. Look at him, he was so thoughtful and prepared!

The person of high status entered the carriage first, and Gao Huang followed closely behind. There were rumors both inside and outside the court that Gao Huang would always ride with the emperor when he traveled. Gao Huang was promoted all the way and was in direct control of the entire Quejing, with unlimited honors. The relationship between the two was close, even unusual.

How unusual it is, the words are obscure, and no one dares to speculate or make any nonsense.

Xiao Lie's cold eyes swept across the curtain that had fallen from the imperial carriage, and he withdrew his hand that was lifting the curtain on the side window: "Return to the mansion."

The carriage stopped in front of Shuanghua Palace. Hua Xia was about to get up and leave when Gao Huang called her in an emotionless voice, "Your Majesty."

The man had a calm expression, and it was obvious that he had something to say, so Hua Xia sat back down.

Gao Huang's eyes were deep, and his fingers were stroking and turning the jade ring on his thumb. The jade ring was quite old. He said slowly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the past?"

"When Your Majesty was still the Crown Princess, the late Emperor did not favor you, instead he often treated you harshly, and even considered deposing you. At that time, it was I who had always followed Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, the old ministers in the cabinet took advantage of their seniority to control Your Majesty and ignored Your Majesty. It was I who stood in front and cleared the way for Your Majesty."

"Now, Your Majesty, do you disbelieve in me?"

He spoke so earnestly, as if he had no selfish motives.

Gao Huang paused, and continued, "Your Majesty has taken a liking to Xiao Lie, and changed the plan at the palace banquet, and later bestowed great honors on him, even refusing to see me for this?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Xiao Lie's father was slaughtered because of a secret order you issued to delay support, and the Xiao family was retaliated by the enemy. Your Majesty thinks Xiao Lie can't find out? Or do you think he can let go of his hatred?"

Hua Xia: "......" Okay, it's her fault. When she issued this order, the original owner was only twelve or thirteen......

"Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. You have all the men you want. Now the selection can be put on the agenda. According to the previous practice, young men from noble families will participate in the selection. There will be many outstanding people."

"And I will always be with your majesty and will never betray you."

The words were quite confusing. Hua Xia narrowed her eyes and said, "Then you are hiding something from me."

Gao Huang: “Not really.”

Hua Xia glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Then I have a task for you. A few days ago, I dreamed that an immortal told me that there was a thief pretending to be a eunuch in the palace. I will leave this matter to you to investigate."

In an instant, Gao Huang's aura suddenly changed, his eyes were alert and sharp, he almost thought his identity was exposed, however, the person in front of him seemed to be just speaking casually, with a casual attitude and no intention of testing him.

Is it a coincidence or...

"Why aren't you talking?" Hua Xia asked with a smile. Weren't you quite talkative just now?

Gao Huang lowered his head and said, "I accept your order."

How could the male protagonist be a real eunuch? Hua Xia jumped off the carriage, and Yuan Jian immediately came up to her, his eyes full of tears: "Your Majesty!"

When this man first came, he was a man who kept his thoughts to himself and was very wise. But after playing cards for a few nights and playing a few games of chess, he became like an idiot. It seems that people should quit gambling. It is not good.

While Hua Xia was having all sorts of wild thoughts, Yuan Jian was almost praying to Buddha. His Majesty was missing, and he would be the first to suffer!

When investigating the eunuchs, Gao Huang was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to speak out his grievances. He had to make it public. Doing so would make the matter known to everyone. Most people would not care, but it would arouse suspicion among a small number of people. Naturally, no one in the palace would be able to find out anything, and those who were interested would quickly associate it with Gao Huang himself.

The palace is this small part.

Zhao Zhuo's investigation yielded no results. The old staff in the Jingshifang had all been replaced, and he could no longer find any possible insiders. He only knew that Gao Huang had entered the palace when he was still a child, and he could not find out anything else.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that Gao Huang is not a eunuch..."

Xiao Lie arranged his court robes. The dark color of the robes made him look more majestic. He walked past Zhao Zhuo and left the mansion. Zhao Zhuo stayed where he was and looked at the old housekeeper in the mansion: "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Do you think my guess is too stupid?"

"Yes, if Gao Huang is really not a eunuch, then Your Majesty must know it, and then Your Majesty will not let him investigate the fake eunuch."

The old butler stared at Xiao Lie's departing back for a long time, then shook his head and walked back.

Hua Xia was the most reluctant to attend the morning court. If these court officials were put in a thousand years, they would be office maniacs who were obsessed with internal circulation. They didn't want paid vacations and insisted on living in the company. How could they do that?

In the court, an official from the Ministry of Rites presented a memorial and a token of trust, in which the envoys from the Western Yi requested to visit Dayan, hoping to make friends with Dayan.

The Northern Barbarians were attacked by Xiao Lie and had no ability to resist. If they had not surrendered in time, the Mobei army would have been able to advance thousands of miles and directly destroy the Northern Barbarians.

The Western Yi's move was expected.

However, in the plot given by the system, Xi Di is ambitious and making friends is only a temporary measure. This visit is to test the depth of Dayan. The third prince of Xiyi Kingdom disguised as an ordinary envoy to visit, but was discovered by Gao Huang, and the two of them developed a friendship in private.

When the Western Yi envoys arrived in Quejing, it was almost the end of the year and the weather had turned suddenly cold. The banquet was held in Chongxiao Palace. Several envoys sat in the middle, and there was no obvious change in the seating arrangement of the rest of the envoys.

Hua Xia glanced at the person below: "Which one belongs to that prince?"

The Western barbarians are somewhat unkempt and all look similar.

After 250 identifications, the conclusion is: [Maybe it's the one standing? ]

Hua Xia didn't care: "Who cares?"

【......】Then what are you asking?

Hua Xia was looking at Xiao Lie. The man lowered his eyes to look at the full glass of wine in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, as if he noticed her gaze, Xiao Lie raised his eyes to look at her, with a cold look in his eyes.

No? Wouldn't this person suspect that she had poisoned him again?

Hua Xia choked and kept staring at Xiao Lie as if she had really poisoned him and was hoping that he would drink it. So she turned her head to look at Gao Huang, and following Gao Huang's line of sight, she saw the tall guard standing next to the envoy. It suddenly dawned on her that this man should be the Third Prince.

"Your Majesty, we, the Western Yi, offer fifty fine horses, twenty fine horses, a hundred cattle and sheep, ten boxes of precious treasures, and ten strong slaves. We are willing to establish friendly relations with Dayan."

"I have heard that the Emperor of Dayan, although a woman, is as good as a man. Dayan is becoming more and more powerful under the leadership of your majesty."
