This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 51 The Invisible Crisis
The portrait on this page is a woman wearing a pink skirt and a water-colored gauze belt binding her graceful waist.

The girls are beautiful, petite and exquisite, and their looks are much more outstanding than most of the beautiful girls I have seen before.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the woman looks extremely sweet, especially that smile, which seems to be able to touch people's hearts directly through the paper!

This is a refreshing smile, a smile that can heal people's hearts, and people can't take their eyes off just by looking at it.

After counting breaths, Xia Ao let out a breath, looked at the information on the other side of the case, and saw that "Yan Caixi" was written in the column of name taboo, and "Twenty" was written in the column of Fangling.

Shangguan Wan'er inquired and saw that Xia Ao nodded slightly, and Dang even drew a circle on Yan Caixi's name, the strokes were a little heavier than before.

After reading through the entire picture album, Shangguan Wan'er folded it up and handed it back to the civil official.

"There are 35 people in total, and none of them is missing."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's order, the civil servant twitched, feeling a little toothache.

35 people, this is [-]% of all the show girls!

After hesitating for a while, the civil servant looked at Xia Ao, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, can this reduce the number of people? There are so many people, an accidental fire can't take away..."

"Are you bargaining with Gu?"

Xia Ao sneered, squinted and looked over.

The civil official shook his body, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"I don't dare! Then do as you wish. However, I hope His Highness can hide them well."

"After all, if the news gets out, not only the officials and others will lose their heads, even you, it's hard to explain to His Majesty..."

"You don't need to worry about Gu here, you only need to do your own errands well."

Xia Ao flicked his fingers casually, then glanced at Lai Yongqing.

"Remember to bring Gu's reward to the two, don't let the heart of those who work hard for Gu be chilled."

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the person is safely delivered to His Highness's residence tonight, the one that should belong to the two adults will be there in time, and we guarantee that no outsiders will know about it!"

Lai Yongqing nodded and bowed in response.

"That's good. I have prepared a big meal for the three of you. It's next door. After you finish eating, go and do your own business."

Xia Ao nodded, and after confessing with a smile, he left with Shangguan Wan'er and Zhou Ying in a calm manner.

After sending Xia Ao away respectfully, Lai Yongqing looked relaxed, but the other two looked heavy.

This sixth prince is really too courageous, this is a beautiful girl selected for His Majesty and the palace, but the sixth prince has no taboo to snatch food first, and even picked the best batch ,this……

For such a serious crime of beheading, if Lai Yongqing, a bastard, hadn't grasped their vital points, or the Sixth Prince personally threatened them, they wouldn't have dared to respond!
However, there is no if.

At this point, they could only pray secretly that nothing would go wrong.

Otherwise, their own death is too small, and they might even bring the whole family to suffer together!
……

In the evening, Yunhai Mansion.

"Grandpa, if you're coming, why don't you send someone over to say hello in advance?"

Xia Ao hurried into the hall, looked at Xiao Hongyuan who was sitting inside and said with a smile.

Xiao Hongyuan sniffled, his sensitive sense of smell yawned when the smell of rouge and various strange fragrances stimulated him.

"Are you fooling around with women again?"

Xiao Hongyuan frowned and asked, somewhat hating that iron cannot be made into steel.

Xia Ao smiled and said indifferently: "It's just a daily life that deceives people."

"Covering people's eyes and ears? Huh..."

Xiao Hongyuan snorted angrily twice, as if he didn't think I didn't know.

In his opinion, Xia Ao is definitely addicted to beauty, and it's not for some so-called deception!

However, he does not intend to delve into this matter today.

"I'll tell you one thing, I'm going to be in command."

Hearing this, Xia Ao was taken aback for a moment.

"Going out in command? What's the matter? Father, isn't he the most afraid of you leaving the imperial capital, wishing to tie you up to death in the mansion? Why did you suddenly send you out?"

Xia Ao frowned and asked, with a look of suspicion.

Xiao Hongyuan shook his head with a heavy expression.

"I don't know either. His Majesty called me into the palace at noon today, saying that the battle at Beiguan was unfavorable. The generals of the eastern and western battalions refused to obey the orders of Lord Township Dong Xiang. As a result, the three battlefields almost fought independently, and the situation was not optimistic. "

"So, Your Majesty wants me to go out of the mountains and personally take command of the Northern Expedition, leading an army of 90 troops in the northern border, and cooperating with the Dai Viet Dynasty in the west, in order to break through the defense line of the Da Jin Dynasty in the shortest possible time and to promote my country's prestige in Da Xia."

Xia Ao blinked, sat on the chair, stroked his chin and said in thought: "It sounds reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it's still not right."

"Six years ago, Dajin broke through the Mangshan Pass in our northern border, and 50 troops marched straight in three ways. Our army lost consecutive battles and lost more than [-] troops, and almost lost the two northern prefectures."

"Even at such a critical time, father refused to let you go out of the mountain and sent you out to take charge of the overall situation. Why did you change your temper now?"

"No, no, there is a problem here..."

Having said that, Xia Ao suddenly focused his eyes.

"Could it be that he is planning to attack you?"

Xiao Hongyuan glanced at Xia Ao in surprise, with surprise in his eyes, but the surprise soon turned into relief.

"Ao'er, you really have grown up."

"No one knows what His Majesty is thinking. But your guess is not unreasonable. I heard that His Majesty vomited blood again last night. His Majesty's body is probably in distress..."

"Back when he personally conquered the Manggu Wasteland, he injured his foundation. Although he tried his best over the years, he still couldn't repair the damage to the foundation, so that it went from bad to worse."

"Perhaps, he had a premonition, so prepare to pave the way for the prince..."

"After all, in his eyes, the old man is the one who poses the biggest threat to the crown prince's succession and securing his position."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hongyuan's expression also became complicated.

"If the father really intends to get rid of you? What should we do?"

Xia Ao frowned, looking at Xiao Hongyuan pretending to be restless.

"It's not that easy to want my life. Over the years, I'm not unprepared."

Xiao Hongyuan's eyes sharpened, and his expression became serious.

"However, Ao'er, there is another possibility."

"Although tiger poison does not eat its offspring, it is possible that the royal family is ruthless. The target is not me, but you!"

"I?"

Xia Ao pointed at himself in astonishment.

"Not bad!"

"I was transferred to the border, and Zhijie and Tianzong were in the east and west camps. If something happened to you, we would be beyond our reach, we would not be able to take care of it, and we might not even get wind of it!"

"With you gone, the cohesion of my Xiao family will also be broken. At that time, it will be easy to let me go to a corner where no one cares about, and then separate and tidy up Zhijie and Tianzong..."
