Xie Qingshan sat on the sedan chair and hadn't returned to the palace yet, his face turned redder abnormally.Under that calm and indifferent face, it seemed that there were turbulent waves hidden by the world.

He asked people to get off the sedan chair, and walked in alone outside the palace gate, staggering all the way, and even De Quan didn't dare to help him.

Only Concubine Xian ran out anxiously when she heard the movement, and supported Xie Qingshan when he was about to lose strength.Immediately, she skillfully put her hand into Xie Qingshan's lapel, took out the sandalwood medicine jar, and tremblingly fed the pills inside into Xie Qingshan's mouth.

After a long time, Xie Qingshan's abnormally red face finally returned to normal.

There was no one in the palace, so Dequan dismissed all the palace attendants, leaving room for the two of them.Concubine Xian helped Xie Qingshan to collapse with a cold face, took off her shoes and socks, and took off her clothes, her movements were gentle, but she still couldn't help gnashing her teeth: "She embarrassed His Majesty again today?!"

Xie Qingshan shook his head, there was no pain on his face, but some relief.

But Concubine Xian didn't see it, she was completely immersed in disgust, and she couldn't hold back her mouth: "Wang Jinse should have died long ago! She deserved to die when the late emperor ordered her to be buried with her before his death!"

"Speak carefully." Xie Qingshan took a breath, "Such secrets are not what you and I can talk about today. There are talented people from generation to generation, so whoever should do it, let them do it."

Only then did Concubine Xian come to her senses, she was surprised for a moment and said: "Your Majesty...you..."

"The queen mother thinks that the sachet is connected with Jiuyuan." Xie Qingshan smiled, "Then let her think so, Xinglan is a good boy, this is the only plan I can make for him."

Xie Xuan didn't know what Xie Qingshan had planned for Xie Xuan.

At least not yet.

He and the executioner were being dazed by the Tenth Prince's entanglement. The executioner and the executed person wished to share a common hatred and pack up the Tenth Prince and throw them out of the imperial hall together.

If it weren't for the great treason and injustice in life, all members of the royal family would be buried in the imperial tomb after death.In addition, there is also an ancestral hall in the palace, which means to pray for the success of future generations.The ancestral hall is closed on all sides, no windows are opened, only a small square hole is cut on the top, pouring out the sky light like a ribbon.

Under the sky, the tenth prince grabbed the whip in the hands of the palace servants and yelled so loudly that it could be heard in all directions.

"Put it down! A mere official, how dare you disobey my prince's order!"

It's not that the palace people move, and it's not that they don't move: "Your Majesty the Tenth Highness, don't embarrass the official, the official also acts according to Yi's order, if you delay, the official will be punished!"

"I don't care whether you receive a fine or not! If you dare to touch Xie Shisan's hair today, I will never end with you!"

With his bare hands, he pulled the execution whip. Relying on his own strength, he pulled a large part of the whip into his arms like a seedling.The palace people couldn't laugh or cry, they turned around in a hurry, and turned their heads to try to ask Xie Xuan for help.

absurd!absurd!The palace man roared in his heart.

Obviously, his choice was right.

The Tenth Highness, who was able to carry a tripod, had a red mark on the palm of his hand because of his strength, almost bleeding.The palace people saw that Xie Xuan took out a folding fan with a red maple hanging on the fan bone from nowhere, and "slapped" on the back of the tenth prince's hand.

The tenth prince let out an "ow": "What are you doing!"

"Does it hurt?" Xie Xuan said, "If it hurts, let go."

The tenth prince hesitated for a moment, but did not move: "I don't."

Xie Xuan picked up the fan and wanted to knock again.But this time, the Tenth Prince was already prepared, shrugging his shoulders, closing his stomach and closing his eyes, and would not let go even if he died.After a long while, he didn't feel the pain on the back of his hand, and carefully opened half of his eye to look, and happened to meet Xie Xuan's indifferent gaze.

"..." The Tenth Prince let go of his hand, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think you can avoid today's punishment by pulling this thing?" Xie Xuan said coldly, "Do you think the imperial grandmother can listen to you, or do you think you can hold this whip for a lifetime?"

"What's the matter with you!" The tenth prince was also angry, "Don't you know how to resist? Why do you have to be whipped? The emperor's grandmother is not unreasonable. Look at your attitude when you were in Jinluan Palace. It's like admitting a mistake. What does it look like?!"

He is really in a hurry.

Because he has endured it himself.

When he first moved to the Empress Dowager's palace when he was young, the tenth prince was still a reckless character, he thought he was favored, and occasionally he would get away with doing some ridiculous things without punishment, and he became more and more shameless as time went on.However, when doing reckless things, there are always times when they go too far, and once they touched the bottom line of the queen mother, they were dragged and dragged by others and thrown into this dark imperial temple.

This is what the Tenth Prince fears the most.

But Xie Xuan is not afraid.

He had already expected what happened today.He looked at the Tenth Prince in front of him, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to his original state.

"You want to ask why, don't you?" Xie Xuan said, "Then I will tell you the answer today."

"Just now in the main hall, the imperial grandmother asked you to serve tea to Li Jin. The reason on the surface was high-sounding, but in fact she wanted to test me. She needs to know who is more suitable for the crown prince. Our surname is Xie, and our ancestors have been around for a hundred years. I have ruled this land before, and the sky is rich and noble, but I serve tea as a courtier with a short stature, which is to put down my status."

"You think this cup of tea is one of the means used by the imperial grandmother to win over the family, but my tea is a warning. I warned Li Jin, don't focus on how to get Xie into the water, let him see Enemies around - the Feng family, the Wang family, and the Qin family are all staring at his back. I told him that the imperial family is not the only enemy, nor will it be the last."

Xie Xuan spoke slowly, as if he was afraid that the Tenth Prince's brain would not be able to turn around, so he deliberately prolonged the syllables word by word, and his tone was slow, orderly, and clear.

"You said that I coveted your position. That's right. From the beginning to the end, I approached you, flattered you, and used you in order to get into the eyes of the emperor's grandmother. Today, the hall is in a state of flux. You can tell even if I don't say it. I am competing with you for the crown prince."

"And now, this punishment is nothing more than a nomination certificate I submitted to the imperial grandmother. Believe it or not, not long ago, the imperial grandmother had decided who to be the crown prince, and the position of the Lord of the Eastern Palace is absolutely impossible to be the crown prince." you!"

The tenth prince's hand lost strength long ago, and the whip finally returned to the palace man's hand.But Gong Gong felt lingering fears, and buried himself like an ostrich under Xie Xuan's reprimand, not daring to speak out.

The Tenth Prince who was in the center was hit even harder, his eyes turned red.

"You mean... your purpose has always been..."

"My goal has never been to be friends with you." Xie Xuan interrupted him, "I'm borrowing you as a pedal, Xie Duan."

It's a bit inappropriate to say that arguing in the imperial hall seems to disregard the ancestors of the Xie royal family.But the palace people had heard too many things about the royal family fighting for power and profit, and they only thought about whether they would be killed and silenced, so naturally they couldn't care about other things.

When he came back to his senses, the tenth prince who stopped him from whipping had already slammed the door and left.Only the Thirteenth Highness remained, who looked extremely easy to talk to, but his face was frighteningly cold right now.

"I'm bored."

The palace people heard the Thirteenth Highness curse.

I don't know if he is annoying the Tenth Prince or scolding himself.

Near the Wenxuan Gate, which is far away, Qingzhu happily broke into a small courtyard, and saw his husband sitting under the peach tree, holding a pure white raccoon slave in his arms.

He seemed to have encountered some happy event, and walked forward briskly: "Sir!"

Xiao Ling continued to caress the little thing in his arms: "What? Picked up the silver?"

"No!" Qingzhu said with dancing, "I just came out of the palace, and I took a long detour because of something, and finally heard a great happy event."

Xiao Ling lost interest: "Oh, really, congratulations."

Qingzhu: "..."

Qing Zhu persevered: "Don't you want to know what it is?"

His husband proved with his actions that he didn't want to.

But Qingzhu really felt that this event should be celebrated, so he held down Xiao Ling's wheelchair and refused to let him go, and he didn't dare to show off again: "Xie Xuan! That annoying guy! He's going to be whipped!"

Xiao Ling paused: "Why?"

"I don't know. I heard that he contradicted the queen mother. I also heard that he had a big fight with the tenth prince, and the tenth prince was so angry that he cried."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ling suddenly laughed for some reason.

Qingzhu was startled by the laughter, and belatedly felt the hairs on her back stand on end.Afterwards, he heard Xiao Ling say: "That's really a great thing."
