There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 190
Xia Houyan complained.

"What happened in the palace? Why are those servants so rampant that even the king dares to talk about it?"

Recently, he has been banned by the queen in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion dare not tell him the rumors in the capital.

Even if manure was splashed on the wall of his own courtyard, he dared not say it.

Xia Houyan was kept in the dark all this time, he thought the matter had been settled, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he entered the palace.

"No...it's fine!"

"Perhaps you heard it wrong!" The queen concealed embarrassingly.

"Yan'er, let's not worry about that, let the queen mother take a good look at you, why have you lost so much weight, is it because the house is not serving you well?" The queen looked concerned.

Xia Houyan sat down on the chair impatiently, "Nothing goes wrong, it's just grounding!"

He didn't realize that the queen had aged so much overnight, let alone her white hair at the temples. He just sat there carelessly, enjoying the queen's meticulous care with peace of mind.

The queen watched her son carefully, ordered two plates of his favorite snacks to be served, and dismissed all the servants.

"That's right, there is no one in your palace who knows what's cold and what's hot, and the empress mother will make another plan for this matter!" The queen was a little worried.

Xia Houyan ate his snacks and said nothing. The queen handed him a cup of tea, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Yan'er..."

"I'm not talking about you this time, how could you do such a thing, do you know how much effort your father spent to find you a dead ghost..."

"What? For the dead ghost?" Xia Houyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Who is my scapegoat? Why do you want to be my scapegoat? I didn't do anything. Don't even you believe me now?"

Xia Houyan's eyes were gloomy, his fists were tightly clenched together, his knuckles were turning white as if he wanted to crush his fists.

"Could it be that all my most loyal subordinates are dead?" His eyes were sharp, and the cold light suddenly looked very frightening.

"Yan'er, as long as you're fine, I've done my best to keep your mother alive. In the future, you must never do stupid things again. If you have any actions, you must discuss it with your mother..."

The queen babbled a lot, but she didn't realize that Xia Houyan's expression was extremely strange.

"Yan'er? Yan'er? What's wrong with you?"

With a sound of 'Boom', Xia Houyan swept all the dim sum on the table down, the porcelain dim sum shattered all over the floor, and the sound exploded, which was shocking.

"Did I say I didn't do anything?"

He stared at the queen viciously with the most sinister eyes, approaching little by little, gritting his teeth every word.

"Mother, let me say it again, I didn't do anything!"

The queen was stunned for a moment, feeling cold all over her body, unable to recover for a long time.

It took her a while to suppress the inexplicable fear in her heart, and murmured.

"Could it be...someone framed you?"

"Could it be him...it must be him!"

Xia Houyan's expression finally softened a little, "It's as long as my mother trusts me, this matter is definitely not me!"

"And my subordinates..." He lowered his head and hit himself on the head with his fist, feeling extremely annoyed.

"Xia Houjue, one day, sooner or later, I will pay for your life!" Those are his subordinates, who have followed him through life and death for many years and have gone through many battles to remove all obstacles for him.

Now that he has suddenly become a scapegoat, leaving him without a loyal person by his side, how can he not be angry!

"it is good!"

The queen stroked her terrified heart, and stepped forward to fight against the enemy.

"If it's really not you, then the queen mother will help you..."

"What is if, if it's not me, then it's not me!" Xia Houyan suddenly roared at the queen, with a voice so loud that it would shatter the roof.

……

The palace people outside the door were too frightened to approach, so they could only chatter nearby.

"What's the matter with this Prince Chen? Treating the empress empress badly and doing her best to protect him, why did she yell at the empress as soon as she entered the palace, so unfilial..."

"Isn't it? If there is no queen, he will be dead this time!"

"Without the queen, the Prince Chen would still be able to become the Prince Chen. He is not as good-looking, as courageous, and as filial as the Crown Prince. Not to mention that His Royal Highness is of noble birth, which is not comparable to the Prince Chen."

"That's right, look at our Crown Prince, even if he is wronged, he won't talk to the emperor like this..."

The palace daughters have been brainwashed by the rumors that have been raging inside and outside the capital recently, and Xia Houjue is indeed impeccable inside and out, and usually always looks like "Although I am miserable, I am still extremely kind".

It's too much favorability.

After coming and going, the whole palace inside and outside the capital has become a staunch supporter of Xia Houjue.

Even the emperor felt infinitely guilty towards him, and every time he looked at him, the expression 'I'm sorry, son' was written in his eyes.

The corners of Xia Houjue's lips curled up in satisfaction: Gu is already so good, isn't he?

……

Xia Houyan slammed the door out of the queen's bedroom, and immediately received unanimous contempt from the daughters and eunuchs of the palace, but in order to save their lives, they expressed their contempt in a very subtle way, rolling their eyes at him with just one movement.

Xia Houyan always felt that there was a chill behind him, and when he turned his head, there was nothing, but when he turned his head and continued walking, there was a chill behind him again.

After several times, he gave up and left the palace impatiently.

The little palace daughters looming behind him showed up, gave him a hard pooh down the spine, and then walked away.

In Fengyang Palace, the queen was devastated.

After thinking about it, she didn't know where she was wrong, so she could only help the maid get up from the ground with tears streaming down her face.

Looking at the backs of the strangers in Manfengyang Palace, she felt a little tired, untied her hair and lay on the bed tremblingly, she closed her eyes and dismissed all the servants.

"Nurse Qi, I miss you so much!"

She suddenly began to miss the time when she was surrounded by her confidantes, but unfortunately, that time will never happen again.

Now in the entire Fengyang Palace, how can there be half of her confidant?
……

After a snowfall, the New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye.

This is Tang Wanning's third year in the palace.

Maybe because she got used to the life in the palace after a long time, she actually felt like home.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Tang Wanning got up from the bed, and greeted everyone in Chaoluan Hall to start busy distributing the rewards.

She gave rewards to everyone in the courtyard, new cotton clothes, and with the rewards, the whole palace was full of joy.

Bi Yue led a few eunuchs to exchange peach charms, and Bi Luo led people to deliver things to the various courtyards.

The master and servant have been busy until noon before they finally stopped.

During lunch, Xia Houjue suddenly came back from the outside with a serious expression on his face.

"Huh? What's the matter with you?" Tang Wanning wondered, isn't this guy very proud recently?

"A few Taoist priests came to the palace a few days ago. I suspect that there is something wrong with those Taoist priests."

"What's wrong with Taoist priests? Isn't it just talking about scriptures and Taoism, and refining alchemy?"
