Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Nan Xi was exhausted from being tormented by Xia Hou Qi last night, so when Xia Hou Qi came to Tianfeng Palace, Nan Xi was still awake.

"I have seen the king."

"Where's Di Ji?"

"The Emperor hasn't woken up yet. Your Majesty will wait outside for a while. Your servant will go in and send a message -"

"No need."

Xia Houqi raised his hand to stop Xuan Yun from entering, then walked into the house himself and closed the door again.

After Huanyun saw him, he didn't dare to say anything and stood silently outside the door.

Xia Houqi walked to the bed softly, and without doing anything, he looked at her face with an idiotic look on his face and smiled softly.

In fact, when Xia Houqi walked in the door, the person sleeping on the bed was already showing signs of waking up.

After feeling someone beside the bed, she slowly opened her eyes, which were very clear and bright, as if she had slept for a long time.

"Good morning, Your Majesty~"

"Good morning, did you sleep well?"

When she opened her eyes, Xia Houqi knew she was Chu Xi and asked with a smile.

"It's good. I've been sleeping for a long time. Now it's time for Nan Xi to rest." Chu Xi smiled and said.

"Well, then should you repay the debt Nan Xi owes?" Xia Houqi smiled with amusement on his face.

"Huh? Does she owe you money?"

Chu Xi looked at Xia Houqi with a puzzled expression and asked.

"It's not a money debt, it's a love debt. You two are one. If she falls asleep, then I will have no choice but to come to you to ask for it."

Hearing this, Chu Xi's eyes widened, knowing that Xia Houqi couldn't hold back anything good.

"Whoever you owe the debt to should repay it. If it's not my debt, don't go to me!!!"

After Chu Xi said this, she tried to get back into the quilt, but before she could succeed, Xia Houqi grabbed her by the corners of her back. Before Chu Xi had time to struggle, Xia Houqi held her in his arms and kissed her hard.

In the end, Chu Xi was kissed until her mouth turned red, and Xia Houqi let her go.

"Rogue!" Chu Xi scolded.

"Yes, I admit it."

Xia Houqi's smile became brighter and brighter. No matter how Chu Xi scolded him, taking advantage was the most important thing.

Later, Xia Houqi even wanted to help Chu Xi change her clothes, but Chu Xi kicked him out of the room.

Huan Yun was not surprised to see the prince being driven out of the house by her master. She lowered her head and pretended not to see the prince's embarrassment.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Xi changed her clothes, called Huan Yun in to help her wash up, and then had breakfast with Xia Houqi.

"I'm going to pay my respects to my father and grandmother later. Do you want to go with me?"

"Ahem, what about that? I won't go with you to pay your respects. I didn't even return home last night. I will go back to my home later."

Xiahou Qi had just come back from his majesty's punishment, and now he went with Chu Xi to greet him. Wouldn't his majesty know that he shamelessly came to Di Ji to ask for a reward? It would be nice if His Majesty didn't let anyone hit him, but he had better not go in front of His Majesty.

"Okay, I won't take you with me."

Chu Xi went to pay his respects to the emperor and the queen mother, and Xia Houqi left the palace and returned home.

When Xia Houqi returned to the palace, he discovered that something had happened in the palace.

There was a fire at the Prince Regent's Palace last night, but fortunately the fire was not very big and was put out in time. "Have you found the cause of the fire?" Xia Houqi asked coldly.

He happened not to be in the mansion last night, so there was a fire in the mansion? Moreover, there was a fire in the Shengyang Courtyard where he lived. It didn't look like an accident.

"Back to the prince, someone deliberately set the fire on fire. His subordinates have already controlled him. He is now being held in the firewood shed. Does the prince want to interrogate him personally?" asked Windwalker.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi walked directly towards the woodshed without saying anything.

Who knew that when Xia Houqi opened the door, he saw the body lying on the ground.

Ta Feng secretly screamed, and immediately stepped forward to check the kidnapped man's breathing.

"Master, the person is dead. Judging from the physical signs, he died of poisoning."

Xia Houqi frowned and glanced coldly at Ta Feng. Ta Feng immediately knelt down and confessed:

"This subordinate neglected his duty and did not realize that he had hidden the poison in advance. This subordinate is willing to accept the punishment——"

"That's all, the person who set the fire was a servant of the mansion?"

"My lord, I'm the kitchen boy."

"Check out the people who have been in contact with him recently. Don't let anyone go. Be sure to find out who was behind the scenes."

"Yes, I will do my best!"

What kind of grudge could a kitchen handyman have against him, yet he actually let him risk the death penalty to set fire to it?

Besides, everyone in the mansion should know that he was not in the palace last night, but in the palace. Why did he set fire to Shengyang Courtyard? Could it be that he just wanted to give me a warning?

Thinking of this, Xia Houqi didn't have the slightest clue:

Although he made countless enemies, these people would never dare to set fire to his house. They could not afford the consequences of offending him.

Xia Houqi always felt as if he had overlooked someone or something, and some recent events seemed to be related.

However, Xiahou Qi soon had no time to take care of this trivial matter. Just after the New Year, there was turmoil on the border. It was said that there was a rebellion in the southwest border city. The soldiers guarding the city were slaughtered and had been occupied by the people of Yelan Kingdom.

The original annual leave was forced to end early, and all the courtiers went to court to discuss matters.

"Who is the guard of the southwest border city?" Nangong Rui asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the guard of the southwestern border city was formerly a confidant of the regent, that is, Shen Changyi." Xiao Changheng finally seized the opportunity and immediately related the matter to Xia Houqi.

Hearing this, Chu Xi couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. Was she planning to drag Xia Houqi into the water?

"My father is asking about who the guard is. Why did Mr. Xiao involve the regent? This matter has nothing to do with the regent." Chu Xi calmly protected her husband and spoke for Xia Houqi.

"Di Ji misunderstood Wei Chen's meaning. Wei Chen just happened to remember that Shen Changyi had some connection with the Regent, and had no intention of trying to interfere with the Regent." Xiao Changheng explained quickly.

"Alright, is there any news about Shen Changyi now? I ordered him to garrison the southwest border city, but he's good! He just lost the whole city!"

"Back to Your Majesty, after I learned that the border town was lost, I sent someone to contact Shen Changyi. There has been no reply so far. I'm afraid the situation is more dire." Xia Houqi stood up and replied truthfully.

He understood Shen Changyi's character, and if he still had a breath, he would never allow anyone to capture the border town.

Now that the border town is occupied by people from the Yelan Kingdom, he is afraid that something unexpected has happened to him.

Xia Houqi was very sad. Shen Changyi was the general he single-handedly promoted. He was top-notch in both talent and character.

Yelan Kingdom! He will definitely take back the border city!

"Your Majesty, please lead the troops to recover the border town!" Xia Houqi said firmly.

He will personally help his men take revenge!

I’m going to start writing the map again.
