Chapter 71 The Queen's Demise 20

...So all the preparations in the beginning were just to promote it in front of Hua Xia, saying that joining their Beggars' Sect as a beggar, no, leader, would be a good investment.

"Well, not bad." Hua Xia praised.

The little beggar's dirty face was instantly filled with smiles, and he continued, "In addition to the assassin organization, there was also a man in black who came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day. He was supported by two people and went straight to the palace."

"It should be the Emperor."

At this time, the carriage was still parked in the middle of the road, and the little beggar spoke without hesitation.

Eleven: "...How about we talk for a moment?"

Xiao Yan still had to go to the palace for the morning court session, so Hua Xia just asked the little beggar to keep his voice down.

The little beggar listened to the order and whispered, "That secret guard organization has connections with the royal families of several countries. They have close ties with Yi Country, which is about the same power as our Yuan Country. They have all increased their troops at the border and are ready to take action."

This was similar to the news that Zhao Zhiwu brought back, but a beggar actually knew so much, which made Xiao Yan doubt his identity.

He looked somewhat solemn.

The little beggar looked at Xiao Yan quietly and said, "They should be coming for the Prime Minister."

"I guess the Prime Minister is going to start a rebellion, so the Emperor is joining forces with other countries to surround and kill the Prime Minister."

With a loud bang, Eleven drew out his long sword and pointed it at the beggar. He shouted in a serious voice, "Who are you?!"

The little beggar Huo De dodged and hid beside Hua Xia, crying, "Master! He bullied me~"

This coquettishness caught Hua Xia off guard. How dare someone steal her lines? Before she could react, she was pulled into the carriage and protected behind Xiao Yan.

The movement was so smooth that there was no trace of the frail look just now.

"Altar Master!"

Hua Xia was protected and looked into the little beggar's eyes calmly. The latter's eyes showed worry and gossip, but not her thoughts.

"He didn't lie."

The little beggar’s eyes immediately filled with tears. He thought, “The new forum leaders are the best. I believe them.”

"We in the Beggars' Sect just like to gossip a little bit. Besides, the Beggars' Sect travels around the world, so isn't it easier for us to know news than you?"

"Master! The reason why the emperor was able to unite with other forces is because the most favored princess of Yi country fell in love with him and asked his father to send troops."

"So the emperor deposed you from the throne in order to make room for the eldest princess."

This is pretty much what Hua Xia guessed. The reason for deposing the queen was too bizarre. There must be a reason, but this seemingly favored concubine was just too much of a cannon fodder.

Hua Xia chuckled: "You have thoroughly checked my identity as the leader of the altar."

The little beggar smiled flatteringly and said: "Master~"

"......" Hua Xia asked the system: "My coquettishness won't be as disgusting as his, right?"

250: [...That's even worse than before.]

Hua Xia interrupted her as soon as she started talking: "I am so cute and beautiful, how can I be disgusting?" If someone is disgusted, then that person must be pregnant.

250: [......] Is selective deafness okay?

Eleven thought of Miss Xin who rushed over and knocked his prime minister to the ground, causing him to vomit blood while acting like a spoiled child that day. Now he believed in this person's origin. Isn't this passed down from generation to generation?

Hua Xia waved to the little beggar, and the little beggar leaned over and whispered, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated, and there is no need for Hua Xia to resolve it violently. It’s time to get down to business.

"Find a way to pass a message to Li Shen, the emperor."

"Let him know that the Prime Minister has found the magical medicine Yu Xuecao that can restore the body, and is sending it to the Prime Minister's residence."

The little beggar took the order and left. The carriage set out again for the palace and had a smooth journey.

[Host, why do you want to let the male protagonist of this world know about this? What if he finds Yu Xuecao first? 】

Hua Xia smiled lazily, leaning back against the wooden wall of the carriage, and said, "I just want him to find it first."

These magical herbs, elixirs, artifacts and secret manuals are usually prepared for the male protagonist who has good luck in the world. If others can't find them, he will definitely be able to find them.

Once you find it, it would be easy to take away a blade of grass.

"You are not allowed to go." The villain, who was countless times smarter than the mentally retarded system, quickly understood the key and said coldly, "Even if we really find it, I will send someone to get it myself. You can't take any risks."

Hua Xia blinked: "Okay, brother~"

When Xiao Yan saw that this man didn't listen to his words, he sighed helplessly and could only arrange people to guard him secretly.

Xiao Yan had special privileges, so he was allowed to drive the carriage in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. After the carriage arrived at the imperial garden, Hua Xia was too lazy to get off and walked on her own.

-

All the ministers had gathered under the council hall for the morning court session. Each of them looked panicked and helpless, and when they saw the prime minister's carriage, they hurried to greet it.

"My Lord, you are here too!"

"It seems that the turmoil at the border should not be underestimated."

"Is the Prime Minister feeling better?"

"The Emperor has not attended the morning court for several days in a row and has been staying in the Imperial Concubine's Palace!"

"Looking at the border being in chaos, sir, what should we do?"

All the court officials were talking at once, surrounding Xiao Yan and complaining non-stop, their tone filled with anger at the emperor for not fighting back.

Everyone thought that Xiao Yan had entered the palace specifically for border affairs, but little did they know that he was just stopping by for the morning court on his way back from seeing Hua Xia off.

There had been turmoil on the border a few years ago, with foreign armies crossing the river and taking down several cities in Dayuan with unstoppable force. It was Xiao Yan, who was still a young man at the time, who led the army to turn the tide, recover the lost territory, and forcefully beat the enemy back, severely damaging the foreign country's vitality.

Although the people said that Xiao Yan was an iron-faced treacherous minister with tremendous power, this was the result of officials neglecting the emperor and respecting the prime minister.

Xiao Yan's arrival changed the situation. The eunuch who was guarding Li Shen's personal body in front of the palace rolled his round eyes and went down.

Soon someone came to convey the order that the ministers should enter the palace for the morning court.

Li Shen's lips on the throne were still a little pale, probably because his injury had not healed yet.

He squinted his eagle-like eyes and looked down at Xiao Yan, who was standing tall at the head of all officials. His eyes were unclear, and then he suddenly smiled.

"Prime Minister, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Yan said calmly: "Thanks to the emperor."

The ministers could no longer hold back, and calls of "I have something to report" began to be heard one after another in the hall.

Most of them were talking about border issues, such as the need to strengthen border defense and send troops for deterrence. Only Master Su was different.

"Your Majesty! Now is a time of great trouble. The common people and scholars in Jiangnan are extremely dissatisfied with your dethronement. How can the world be stable if the people are not stable? If this war breaks out again, I am afraid that the people will lose their morale!"

"It has shaken the foundation of the country. I ask the emperor to restore Xin to the throne and stabilize people's hearts!"

Xiao Yan: “…”

For some reason, Master Su felt a chill on his neck. He turned around and looked at the Prime Minister, who was looking at him coldly. His hand trembled as he was about to start speaking.

It was naturally impossible for Li Shen to resume the position of queen. If she did so now, the armies of other countries would probably retreat like the tide.

He looked around and suddenly asked, "What does the Prime Minister think about this matter?"
