Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 987

Empress Liang learned a lot about the news from the front line through her elder brother.

On this day, she summoned Prime Minister Zuo to Chaoyang Palace.

"Why is Xu'er unwilling to return to the capital? He doesn't know. I have done so much to hope that he can return to the court, so that he will have a better chance in the future? Why did I give birth to such a blind and unsighted person?" Come out, evil son!" Empress Liang was full of anger, and when she saw her eldest brother, she vented it out.

Zuo Xiang had nothing to do with his sister's irritable temper, he tried to comfort him weakly, "Don't get angry, hasn't Your Majesty responded yet?"

Empress Liang sneered, "This is probably in the hands of His Majesty, he wished that this son would get away as far as possible, and it would be best if he didn't see him!"

"Sister!" Although he has been in court for many years, he couldn't help but frown upon hearing his sister's rebellious words.

Empress Liang felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she couldn't swallow it. Years of hard work gave up halfway, and she was not reconciled.

"Brother, you also know that sister, I have endured humiliation for Xu'er for so many years. Seeing that he is coming back, my heart is about to drop. Suddenly he gave me such a trick. How can I gain a foothold in this harem? What about our Liang family? A few days ago Concubine Yue even taunted me in front of me, I can't swallow this tone!"

Seeing that her eldest brother was angry, she began to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and she wanted to cry.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help sighing softly, "Sister, you are not talking about you as a brother, you have to change your temper, otherwise how would you keep His Majesty's attention among the three thousand beauties in the harem?"

Empress Liang had objections to this, but it was difficult to speak out, so she could only frown and sulk.

Zuo Xiang squinted his eyes and continued quietly, "Actually, His Highness's request is not surprising. He is used to lounging outside, so he doesn't like the constraints in the capital, and it can be seen that His Highness has no desire to fight for power, but we can't." Let him go like this, otherwise it will not be conducive to our plan."

Empress Liang nodded in agreement when she heard the words, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't know how to give birth to such a son who does not think about making progress. Look at the son of that bastard Yuefei, although he is not as good as Xu'er in anything, but he is better than Xu'er." My son is obedient and will not disobey his parents, but what about Xuer? No matter what I say, he will do the opposite! I say east, he goes west, this time he must not be allowed to continue like this. Bring him back to Kyoto!"

"That's right, His Highness, he's really wayward." Prime Minister Zuo shook his head in disappointment.

Empress Liang's anger flared up again, she narrowed her eyes coldly, "Then what should we do now so that His Majesty can reject his request?"

Prime Minister Zuo pondered for a moment, and then said, "I guess it can only depend on you blowing pillows beside His Majesty. If His Majesty agrees to His Highness's request, you can put it another way. After all, you haven't seen His Majesty for almost five years." , You can ask His Highness to come back for the reason of missing, as long as the person comes back, it is unknown whether to stay or go, and we can make arrangements."

Empress Liang understood, "My sister knows."

The teacup was twirling in her fingers, and Empress Liang's eyes showed a glint. This time, she will definitely not let Concubine Yue be proud again.

Because the Nancang Army has not fully withdrawn from the Xixuan territory, Xiao Xu led the three armies to the border, waiting for the Nancang Army to leave, and reorganizing the border defense.

Xiao Xu said to the soldiers in front of him, "I have found out that there is a ghost in the army before, and he revealed the deployment of the army to Nan Cang, which led to successive defeats, so in the next few days, this king will take you Rearrange the defense."

"Yes."

After everyone went down, Huo Ling suddenly rushed in, "Master, that ghost committed suicide while the guards weren't paying attention."

Xiao Xu frowned, "What's going on?"

"Some time ago, Liu Guang was in charge of torturing this man, but this man's mouth was so strict that he couldn't pry it open no matter what, so he let him hang out for two days, but when I went to see him today, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." Huo Ling immediately reported.

Chu Qingyan on the side frowned, "The only clue is broken, so how will we find out who is behind this in the future?"

Xiao Xu's face was gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he said to Huo Ling, "You ask Huo Ling to look down Wu Qing's background and see if he can find any clues."

"Okay." Huo Ling nodded.

Xiao Xu tapped his fingers on the table, the feeling of being tricked several times without even knowing who his opponent is is really uncomfortable.

I don't know how this dark hand will make a move in the future?

Chu Qingyan stood beside him, sensed his emotions, and couldn't help saying, "Big ice cube, it doesn't matter, we have successfully thwarted his plot, so that he can't succeed in his scheme, as long as he appears again in the future, we will see what happens." Just dismantle the trick! Now, don't worry too much."

Xiao Xu turned his head to look at her, and nodded slightly under her gentle gaze.

For the future, worry about it later, and solve the most important thing now!

So in the next few days, Xiao Xu was very busy, and it could be said that he didn't see anyone all day long.

Considering that Chu Qingyan had recovered from her injury not long ago, Xiao Xu didn't let her intervene in anything, so Chu Qingyan basically couldn't find him.

On this day, Chu Qingyan went to the main tent again to make a living, and learned that the big ice cube had gone to patrol the border, so she was so bored that she took a few glutinous rice balls and went to the big ice cube without notifying anyone. He walked slowly to where he was.

Along the way, she teased a few of them while walking slowly.

Because she came out casually, she didn't ride a horse, and she walked a little slowly.

After more than an hour, she passed through a large grassland and was about to climb up a small hillside. After passing this hillside, she walked another hour and found a big ice cube.

Just as she was teasing a few of them with the dogtail grass, and was about to climb up the hill, she suddenly heard a voice full of breath and with a strong accent.

"How are you getting ready?"

As soon as these words were said, Chu Qingyan immediately lay down, and as soon as she made a gesture, the animals around her immediately stopped their jovial pace and obediently lay down.

This voice was somewhat familiar, because Chu Qingyan had quickly recognized the person speaking from the Nancang army because he had fought several times with the Nancang army.

The presence of people from Nancang on the border was very problematic, and Chu Qingyan immediately became vigilant.

"The people and horses have all assembled, and now they are heading towards the town closest to the border of Xixuan. In less than half an hour, Xiao Xu will get the news. By that time, His Royal Highness will fall into the scheme of our prince! Hahaha !” One person replied.

The person who spoke at the beginning said with satisfaction, "Very good, when we're done this time, we'll be able to vent our anger."

"It's still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is wise."

"That is--"

Chu Qingyan was lying on the ground, not knowing what they were planning, but she knew it was not a good thing as soon as she heard it, so she frowned.
