Xie Xiang

The courtyard gate shut Liu Zao in the palace garden, and she couldn't get out.But every time the courtyard door is opened, something big happens.

Liu Zao didn't know what was going on this time, but it was Mr. Xie who came, she couldn't help cheering up, before she could make a sound, Xie Yi had already walked up to her, and without saluting, he bowed down through the long table. She turned around, reached out to take the wine glass from her lips, and asked, "Has the emperor's grandson ever drank?"

Liu Zao didn't know why, so she shook her head, she hadn't had time to touch her lips yet.

Xie Yi seemed to be relieved, but she didn't show any emotion. She straightened up and said softly, "Check."

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately stepped forward, took the wine glass in her hand, and bowed back.Two rows of palace guards filed in and stood on both sides of the courtyard. They were all wearing armor and holding spears.

The most secluded small courtyard in the past was filled with murderous aura like a battlefield in an instant.

Liu Zao was confused, looked at Xie Yi, wanted to ask, but didn't know whether to ask.

She was a little afraid of Xie Yi, but she didn't know where this fear came from.Xie Yi didn't treat her rudely, nor treated her harshly, and they only met once, but Liu Zao was a little afraid of her.She always felt that Xie Yi's eyes seemed to have magic powers, able to penetrate people's hearts and see through all the thoughts in her heart.

Xie Yi gave orders and looked around, as if looking for a place to sit down.Seeing this, Liu Zao hurriedly moved her body to the left. The couch she was sitting on was very spacious and could accommodate two people sitting together.

Seeing this, Xie Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Emperor and grandson."

Without refusing, he went to her side and sat down.

Liu Zao smelled the fragrance again when he was sitting in the carriage that night when he entered the palace.She felt a little uncomfortable, and sat upright a little.Xie Xiang sat beside her, looking straight ahead calmly.

Palace guards stood in silence in the court, and several eunuchs with serious faces came in and out.What is it looking for.Liu Zao thought about the wine glass Xie Xiang had just taken from her hand, thought for a while, and asked, "But is there something wrong with the honey water?"

"The water is poisoned." Xie Xiang replied, "If I come a step later, the emperor's grandson may not be alive at this time."

Only then did Liu Zao get scared, and his face turned pale.

Xie Yi smiled and said nothing.

Sitting here, she was very contented, calmly waiting for the group of eunuchs and palace guards to find out the truth of the matter.Liu Zao is not the case. She is usually alone, thinking about difficult problems by herself, and observing things around her by herself.

At this time Xie Yi was sitting beside her. For some reason, she didn't dare to concentrate on thinking as she used to. She always felt that Xie Xiang might be able to see through her thoughts at a glance.

Liu Zao felt uneasy, but she quickly thought of a way to calm herself down. Following Xie Yi's example, she also sat upright, stared ahead, and waited patiently for the palace servant's report.

But after a while, her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.

Why did Prime Minister Xie come here in person?

She has been sitting here for a long time, and there is nothing outside for her to deal with?

Is the palace guard she brought belonged to the Queen Mother or her own?

Who poisoned her honey water?And how was it poisoned?Does the Queen Mother know?

One question after another kept popping up in Liu Zao's mind, she couldn't help thinking about it, but with Xie Yi around, she couldn't concentrate on thinking, and would always involuntarily be distracted by Xie Yi.

The eunuchs hurried in and out, and from time to time, strangers would come in through the courtyard gate and kneel in front of Prime Minister Xie and the emperor's grandson to report.Liu Zao judged a little from their robes which ones had official positions, and then judged from their expressions how the progress was going.

Most of the time Xie Yi just listened, sometimes she would open her mouth and ask a few questions.

For some words, Liu Zao was able to figure out some deep meaning, but for some words, he didn't know the meaning at all.But she has a habit of writing down everything she doesn't understand, and slowly trying to figure it out.

One of the eunuchs retreated, Xie Yi showed a thoughtful expression, she should be wearing a court dress today, a dark dress, long and sweeping, dignified and gorgeous, embroidered with dark patterns, Liu Zao identified it, it seemed It's a luan bird, and there are auspicious clouds.

She felt that she had been silent for a long time, and asked, "Can you find out who did it?"

Xie Yi seemed surprised that the emperor's grandson would speak up suddenly, after all, the emperor's grandson is usually a man of few words.Liu Zao seemed a little uncomfortable, and explained: "The courtiers came in and out in an orderly manner, and they were not in a panic. I thought the prime minister was confident, so I asked."

Xie Yi didn't answer her directly, but said with a smile: "The grandson of the emperor can be calm and calm in front of His Majesty, and can save the palace servants in the face of the tyranny of the Zhonghuang sect. Why is he so anxious in front of me?"

Liu Zao's expression darkened, and he asked: "Everyone knows what I did in this palace?"

"The emperor's grandson is in the palace, and many pairs of eyes are watching. It is not difficult to know the words and deeds of the emperor's grandson."

Liu Zao's heart sank, but she quickly calmed down. Except when she faced the Zhonghuang Gate, she had a little more assertiveness, and the rest of the time she didn't do anything surprising.As for the words spoken by Zhonghuangmen, she never thought that she could be kept in this palace room.

"Does the Queen Mother also know?" Liu Zao asked.

She was a little apprehensive, and a young boy of her age, no matter how calm she was, was no match for an old fox like Xie Yi who was used to intrigue in court.

Xie Yi could see the uneasiness in her heart at a glance, those eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts unexpectedly softened, and said with a smile: "If the grandson of the emperor shows his intelligence again, I'm afraid the queen mother will regret supporting you as emperor. "

Liu Zao realized that it was Xiang Xie who was reminding her to hide her clumsiness.She nodded, but quickly asked another question: "Will the Queen Mother regret it? What about Xie Xiang? Can you also regret it?"

According to what the emperor said that day, the ministers are fighting each other to support the clan that is close to them as the new king, so as to seek benefits. Great power, holding the emperor and the world together in his hands.

She is the candidate that the Empress Dowager and Xie Xiang have found together. If she is not willing to be a puppet, she will be difficult to control. The Empress Dowager will regret it, but Xie Xiang will also regret it?

Xie Yi avoided answering, but talked about what Liu Zao asked at the beginning: "It's clear at a glance who poisoned. What we need to do now is to find out how the poison was poisoned, how many insiders there are in Changle Palace, and how to get them all together." Take it out."

When Liu Zao heard the words, her first reaction was that it was the emperor who poisoned him, but in a short while, she realized that the emperor had not long entered the capital and had no power, so he couldn't do the job of placing an internal response in the Changle Palace. Those who did this should support the emperor The enthroned general Sun Ciqing.

The little Huangsun's brain is very flexible and can turn extremely fast.

Seeing that she understood, Xie Yi didn't ask any more questions, and turned his attention to the eunuch who came before the court again.

Only then did Liu Zao realize that she hadn't answered whether she regretted it.

She was the one who spoke first when they exchanged words just now, but the rhythm was completely in Xie Xiang's hands, and what she could know was all that Xie Xiang wanted her to know.

Several eunuchs were already waiting nearby, seeing that Xie Yi and the emperor's grandson were no longer talking, Fang stepped forward one after another, knelt down in front of the two, and reported what he had found out.Xie Yi listened very carefully, and after they finished reporting, she ordered them to investigate again.

This is a big event, and it will be impossible to find out in a day or two. Today is just the beginning.Xie Yi looked up at the sun, estimated the time, and seemed to want to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Zao thought of the mystery that puzzled her.

Xie Yi was already arranging her sleeves, about to get up and leave.

Liu Zao considered for a moment, and asked: "Why didn't Prime Minister Xie support Liu Jian with the Queen Mother two months ago when everything was possible, but to go against the trend when His Majesty ascended the throne and the general trend has been set, and make troubles again, and seek a better future?" Abandonment?"

Xie Yi paused for a moment when she straightened her sleeves.

Liu Zao's heart also paused.

Xie Yi stood up and said: "When I visited the prime minister last year, I relied on the trust of the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, my position is not stable, so it is not easy to make a big move."

Liu Zao blinked his eyes and understood that Prime Minister Xie's phase was unstable, and it would be safer to stay out of it than to get involved in the dispute.But she felt that something was wrong. Before February, her position was not stable, but after February, she became stable?

Xie Yi said again: "But it's not completely invincible."

Liu Zao was shocked and listened attentively.

"I stayed out of it at the time because..."

Liu Zao listened more and more attentively, Xie Yi met her serious eyes, and suddenly realized that this was actually a child.She smiled and shook her head, and stopped talking, but turned around and said, "Young grandson, please rest assured here, don't worry too much. You can leave this palace in a few days."
