Chapter 168 Xuan Cang and King Zhenbei returned in defeat
Seeing that what Ruihe took out were indeed her favorite dishes, Qin Shuhuang lost any appetite and felt annoyed.

After eating a few bites, Qin Shuhuang put down the bowl and chopsticks and returned to the bedroom to rest.

When Qin Shuhuang rested, Xie Xuanye soon got the news that Qin Shuhuang didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food.

He was worried, so he went to Yuanxiang Garden in person, intending to stay overnight in Yuanxiang Garden.

But just as he was about to enter Qin Shuhuang's bedroom, Ruihe Ruimiao stopped him.

Ruihe said helplessly: "Your Majesty, His Highness ordered that no one should be disturbed, including you, Your Majesty."

Xie Xuanye, who was wearing a mask, paused at the door of the inner room. He glanced inside, waited for a while, and then left.

As soon as he left, Ruihe quickly walked in and reported to Qin Shuhuang, "Your Highness, after the prince learned that you didn't let him in, he waited for a while and left."

Qin Shuhuang's voice in the tent was flat and his emotions could not be heard, "I understand."

Ruihe exited, frowning and lamenting in his heart, and arranged for Ruimiao to stay on duty for the night before leaving.

Xie Xuanye failed to stay overnight in the Princess's Mansion, and soon returned to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

However, Xuan Cang, the commander of the personal guards who had been resting in the eldest princess's mansion, walked out of his small courtyard and took the initiative to go to Yuanxiang Garden to watch the night.

As late autumn gradually arrived, the temperature in the capital dropped a lot, especially at night. The guards on duty at night all wore cotton cloaks, but Xuan Cang was still in black single clothes, holding a sword and guarding outside Qin Shuhuang's room.

At midnight, Qin Shuhuang asked Ruimiao to give a bowl of longan and lotus seed soup to Xuan Cang who was watching the night.

Ruimiao said: "His Highness asked the servants to send this to the commander to express his condolences. His Highness said that it is more revealing. There are personal guards patrolling in the eldest princess's mansion. The commander does not need to guard here personally. It is better to go back and rest early."

Xuan Cang took the longan and lotus seed soup and drank it in one gulp, "Your Highness was assassinated two days ago, I don't feel at ease, it would be better if I guarded it myself, tell Your Highness, it is your job to guard His Highness's safety, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it."

Ruimiao smiled, "But His Highness will go to court early tomorrow morning. If the commander doesn't rest tonight, he will not have the energy to escort His Highness to the palace tomorrow."

Xuan Cang was startled and decided to fight for the King of Zhenbei, "I heard that the prince is back today, won't the prince accompany His Highness to court tomorrow?"

Before Ruimiao could speak, Qin Shuhuang's voice came from the room, his words were not surprising, "Xuan Cang, if you don't want to go back to your courtyard to sleep, then go into my dormitory to accompany me."

Xuan Cang: ...

Xie Xuanye, who rushed to sleep with him, was completely defeated by Xuancang.

Fortunately, it was covered by night, otherwise Xuan Cang, who was already red through the ears, would not dare to raise his head at this moment.

He quickly raised his head and glanced at Rui Miao, seeing that Rui Miao had no expression on his face, as calm as usual, Xuan Cang calmed himself down a little.

He cupped his hands towards the room, "It's because the subordinates didn't think well, so I'll go back and rest."

After speaking, he reluctantly glanced at the room where Qin Shuhuang was, then turned and left.

After watching Xuancang leave the courtyard, Rui Miao turned back.

"Your Highness, Commander Xuan Cang has left."

Qin Shuhuang responded, "You should go and rest too."

Rui Miao retreated to the ear room to rest, listening to Qin Shuhuang's movement all the time, in case Qin Shuhuang needed it.

Originally, Qin Shuhuang should think about what will be played in the court tomorrow tonight, but the shadows of Xie Xuanye and Xuan Cang are always lingering in his mind.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Shuhuang didn't even fall asleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, after Qin Shuhuang hadn't slept for half an hour, Rui Miao gently reminded him outside the account that it was time to get up.

Qin Shuhuang responded, opened the curtain, and Ruimiao came in to wait on her. She was startled when she saw the extra layer of green and black under His Highness's eyelids, "Your Highness, you didn't sleep well last night?"

Qin Shuhuang shook her head, "I'm fine, just put on some thick makeup, and prepare a cup of strong tea for me."

Ruimiao nodded with worried eyes.

Half an hour later, Qin Shuhuang arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion with everything ready.

Looking up, the person standing beside the carriage was not Xuan Cang, who was dressed in black, but King Zhenbei, who was wearing a mask and royal robes.

Dawu's only King Zhenbei with a different surname, of course, has a court uniform, but after Xie Xuanye inherited the title, he faded out of the court and did not go to the court. In addition, he has no real power in the court, so the Ministry of Rites just turned a blind eye to him and could not go to the court. North Korea has no requirements.This happens to be what the Prince Regent's party and the Four Princes' party are happy to see.

With Xie Xuanye present, it is of course impossible for Xuan Cang to be present.

Qin Shuhuang frowned, last night she clearly told Xuan Cang to escort her into the palace.

She stopped and asked Lu Zhou who was following her, "Housekeeper Lu, where is Xuan Cang? Call him to Ben Gong!"

Just as Lu Zhou was about to leave, he heard King Zhenbei not far away saying: "This king asked Xuan Cang to stay in the mansion today, and this king personally escorted His Highness into the palace."

Qin Shuhuang walked up to Xie Xuanye and looked up at him with a dignified and beautiful face, "I don't know when my personal guard commander became the prince's, and he only obeyed the prince's orders."

No matter how dull Xie Xuanye was, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Qin Shuhuang's voice.

"Your Highness, this king will protect His Highness's safety."

Qin Shuhuang ignored Xie Xuanye's words at all, and said to Steward Lu beside him, "Could it be that Steward Lu has also become a member of the Zhenbei Palace?"

Hearing what Qin Shuhuang said, Lu Zhou didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Xuancang.

He secretly resented Xuan Cang, who had never left His Highness's side before, why did he let His Highness lose face in front of the prince today!
Xie Xuanye was right in front of Qin Shuhuang, how could he find Xuan Cang.

Xie Xuanye was a little anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. He couldn't be divided into two.

Butler Lu was very fast, and in a short while, he sent people to run around the entire Princess's mansion.

After listening to the servant's report, Butler Lu said awkwardly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Commander Xuan Cang is not in the mansion at this time..."

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xie Xuanye next to him and said, "No need to look for it, just call Lu Da and Tang Meng!"

This time, the two quickly brought their guards to the gate of the mansion.

"Today, you two will escort me to the palace."

Hearing this temporary order, Lu Da and Tang Meng immediately responded, especially Tang Meng, who couldn't hide the joy on his face.

He had just been promoted to the deputy captain of Qin Shuhuang's personal guard. He had not followed His Highness into the palace yet. He didn't know what the palace looked like. Today he could feast his eyes on it.

After saying that, he said to Xie Xuanye: "There is no need to trouble the prince. When we come back, I will send Xuan Cang to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to serve as the prince's bodyguard."

Qin Shuhuang boarded the carriage and was escorted by Lu Da and Tang Meng to leave the Princess' Mansion.

Where did Xie Xuanye think that Xuancang and King Zhenbei were both "disliked" by Qin Shuhuang? After that happened, Xie Xuanye just wanted King Zhenbei to show Qin Shuhuang's favor. How could he think that Qin Shuhuang seemed to be more repulsive? The king of Zhenbei became king, and even Xuan Cang was angered.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang's chariot and horses quickly moved away from him, Xie Xuanye looked dazed.

Xie Zhuo, who was next to him, couldn't bear to see his master's disappointed eyes. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
