Chapter 458 Let the national teacher go and never return

Night falls.

The palace is brightly lit, as bright as day.

Xia Houying waited for the transmission, then walked in.

"Here we come." Emperor Kang Heng raised his eyes lightly.

Xia Houying did not expect that his father, who had always paid little attention to him, would actually hear him at this time.

"I've seen my father." Xia Houying saluted.

"Get up," Emperor Kang Heng put down his pen.

Xia Houying naturally noticed that there was no one serving in the inner hall.

"Father, do you have something to tell your son?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Emperor Kangheng's eyes, and he nodded appreciatively: "Teacher Yin said that you have done well in your studies recently, and you are a talent to be made. The emperor is very pleased."

This was the first time his father praised him since he was a child. Although Xia Houying never expected it in his heart, when he heard it with his own ears, he felt a little different.

"Teacher's praise." His voice was low and gentle.

With outstanding ability, neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is a good boy, but he should not come out of the belly of such a woman.

Emperor Kang Heng narrowed his eyes, "You are not young anymore, as a prince, you should have the ability to act independently. Father wants to arrange a task for you."

Xia Houying lowered her eyes, and said unhurriedly and dissatisfied: "Please give orders, Father."

"Well," Emperor Kang Heng nodded, thinking about the things during the day, he couldn't swallow this breath, the national teacher lived in the palace, it was like a knife hanging above his head, making him sleepless .

"In two days, I plan to go out of the palace to worship the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum, and then the national teacher will go with me, so you should come too."

Xia Houying naturally knew that the emperor would personally go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xiahou family at this time of year, and those who could go with him were valued by his father very much. that fool.

But there was never a place for him.

I didn't expect that this year my father would let him go with me. Xia Houying had never been so surprised.

There was a slight ups and downs in the originally calm heart lake, he maintained his composure, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Father."

Emperor Kang Heng narrowed his cloudy eyes, and said in a deep voice, "But the mission I gave you is to let the national teacher go and never return."

As if a basin of cold water was poured down, the heat from Xia Houying's body disappeared instantly, but he didn't show his emotions, but stood respectfully.

"My son obeys the order." His expression was so indifferent that no emotion could be seen.

Emperor Kang Heng gave the order, and he didn't want to waste any more words, so he said: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Xia Houying stood still.

Emperor Kang Hang frowned: "Is there anything else?"

Xia Houying lowered her head, "I will send more people to protect my father and mother. I don't know if the second elder brother and the eldest son will go with me this time? If there are not enough people, I will ask the eldest son to borrow some more."

"No need," Emperor Kangheng waved his hand: "Chun'er and Ah Jing won't go, you don't have to worry about the manpower, Liu Xiu will arrange it."

The temperature in Xia Houying's eyes faded, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, "I understand."

After a pause, "My son will leave."

He turned and walked outside.

There was silence outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the silvery white moonlight shone down, making the whole place bleak and cold.

The heavy door closed behind him, Xia Houying stopped, looked up at the gilded plaque above his head, the indifference on his face disappeared, his handsome face became gloomy, and his thin lips outlined a mocking arc.

He sneered heavily in his heart, and quickly stepped into the night.
