Canglan Empress

Chapter 396

King Xu was led into the main hall to serve tea.

Wen Jinyan was right, he was a prince after all, how could Xuanyin reject a prince?
Then she soon knew that the person Xu Wang really wanted to see was Yao Hua.

But I haven't seen him for a day, Xu Wang's expression is much more haggard than last night's palace banquet, the depression in his brows and eyes can't be concealed, his expression looks pale and tired.

"Your Majesty is here, I don't know why?" Xuanyin walked into the hall and asked casually.

King Xu put down his teacup and got up, and said calmly, "Your general, are you okay today?"

"It's nothing." Xuanyin said, "Last night, the palace banquet ended late, and the general came back and was busy checking the identity of the little bun, and didn't catch up on sleep until the afternoon."

"Little Baozi?" King Xu was stunned for a moment, before realizing that she was referring to the milk baby who appeared in the hall last night, "The general found out?"

"Found it." Xuanyin sat down on the first chair, took a sip from the teacup, "Isn't the prince here to care about the little bun?"

Just as Xu Wang was about to ask the child's identity, he was instantly blocked by Xuanyin's words.

Thinking of his purpose of coming here, King Xu's face became gloomy again, and he said in a calm tone: "I want to ask the Major General for help."

"Please help me?" Xuanyin showed a surprised expression on his face, "What does the prince want me to do?"

"The sky has turned upside down outside." Xu Wang clenched the teacup tightly, looking at Xuanyin with deep eyes, "Did the major general hear the movement outside?"

"The general just woke up for a while, and he has not heard the report from his subordinates." Xuanyin said, "What happened outside?"

King Xu didn't speak, and stared at her silently for a moment, as if he was judging the truth of Xuanyin's words.

Xuanyin felt complacent.

After a while, Xu Wang asked, "Is the fourteenth brother there?"

"Yes." Xuanyin said, "The Fourteenth Prince Xijing, most of the time he stays in the courtyard to read or rest, but today he is in a bad mood. If the prince wants to see him, he probably needs to inform him."

Xu Wang was noncommittal, nodded and said: "I also ask the major general to inform this king."

Xuanyin said again: "Whether the fourteenth prince is willing to see the prince, this general is not sure."

King Xu put down the teacup, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Why is Fourteenth Brother in a bad mood?"

"It may be related to the Ninth Prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty." Xuanyin's tone was indifferent, without changing his face, "This general is not very clear about the specific situation."

"Please tell me, Major General." Xu Wang said, "If the fourteenth brother doesn't want to see you, I won't force you."

Xuanyin smiled faintly after hearing the words: "In that case, please wait a moment, my lord."

Saying that, she got up and went to the door and ordered someone to invite the Fourteenth Prince to come over. When the person who took the order left, she turned and went back to the hall, "Your Highness hasn't said what happened outside, look at His Highness Looks like he's in a bad mood."

"This king is really in a bad mood." Xu Wang said, "A very important relative of the emperor has died, and now the court has become a mess, and the ministers are making a fuss—"

"Wait." Xuanyin raised his hand to interrupt him, "Why are the courtiers making such a fuss?"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Wang's eyes were obviously irritable again, and he said lightly: "Because this matter involves a lot, the courtiers have expressed their opinions, and there has been a lot of quarrel."

Xuanyin raised her brows almost imperceptibly when she heard the words, and immediately understood.
