Naturally, the news from the Queen Mother's side could not be hidden from her lover.
Still dressed in white, he was practicing calligraphy, "Are you very angry? Don't you know the reason yet?"
"Yes. Then I went to deliver soup to the emperor, as if nothing happened."
The old man put down his pen and said, "This is quite strange."
"But we accidentally discovered that there is a secret guard beside the Queen Mother."
"Ha, she is not as stupid as we thought, and she also knows how to leave a way out."
The old man didn't seem to take the Queen Mother's behavior seriously. He never thought that such a woman could do anything.
After thinking for a moment, he then ordered, "It's better to send someone to keep an eye on her. I want to know what she asked the secret guard to do."
"Yes, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Some of us saw King Jingnan in the capital."
"King Jingnan? The one from Daqing?"
"yes."
Something seemed to flash through the old man's sharp eyes, and everything seemed to become clearer. It turned out that the person stirring up trouble under his nose was actually this person, so it was no wonder that his people couldn't find any clues.
No need to verify, he can be sure that the recent series of events are all the work of this person.
"Where are the people?"
"A house in the south of the city."
"Hehehe, King Jingnan of Daqing is here to visit, how can I not show my friendship as a landlord?"
At night, the entire street is very quiet. The south of the city is a wealthy area, and the houses here are expensive, so there are no random people or vendors. It looks particularly deserted at night.
Xiao Han is painting in the study. This is the only way to calm down recently. Otherwise, he would definitely fly back to the border. Looking at the familiar person on the rice paper, they clearly resemble each other, but they are still not as smart as Su Yue himself.
"master."
"explain."
"The Queen Mother's people have already investigated everything about the little eunuch." Of course, all this was arranged by them.
"Well, what's the Queen Mother's reaction?"
"I smashed some things in the palace, and then went to deliver soup to the emperor as if nothing had happened."
"oh?"
Xiao Han was quite surprised, "Check it carefully."
He always felt that the Queen Mother, a crazy woman, might do something surprising after being stimulated. Soup? ······Hahaha, it can’t be a life-threatening soup.
"yes."
As soon as Xiao Yi opened the door and went out, he realized something was wrong. He looked back at Xiao Han, who raised the corners of his lips but didn't have much reaction.
"Senior, since you're here, go and invite him in. It's cold at night, and I'm old after all."
Then there was a cough, and the old man, wearing a thick cloak, walked in slowly, followed by several masters in black. After Xiao Han's men got rid of the people who blocked him, they found that they had arrived in the inner courtyard. They were stopped by Xiao Han just as they were about to take action.
"We have a visitor, Xiao Yi, please serve tea."
"yes."
The old man was not polite, took off his cloak and entered the house. The master in black took the cloak and stood outside the door, waiting. Xiao Han's men did not leave, keeping an eye on these people. Although they had a faint feeling that they might not be the match for these men in black.
Especially the leader, who was wearing gloves, but when he took the cloak, his blue-black skin was still exposed. It looked like his hands had been exposed to poison all year round.
Xiao Han poured a cup of tea for the old man comfortably, "Senior, have a drink and see, this is my grandfather's collection, it is very rare."
The old man was also very kind, "What is old King Jingnan's favorite? I want to have a taste of it."
The old man took a sip and savored it carefully, "It is indeed a rare and good tea."
Xiao Han refilled his drink, like an obedient junior, the atmosphere was really...weird. Even Xiao Yi, who was waiting inside the house, was a little surprised.
"Then let's have another drink. I thought that the senior would have come two days ago, but I didn't expect..."
The old man chuckled lightly, "It's because King Jingnan's men are so capable. I only found out today that the prince has come to the Northern Territory."
Xiao Han also smiled, although the smile did not reach his eyes, "Senior, just ask if you have anything to say, I will tell you everything I know."
The old man looked at him, his expression unchanged, but he became more and more wary in his heart. This King of Jingnan was young and had such deep thoughts, so he had to be on guard against him. But he knew that he couldn't touch him for the time being, and maybe he could still cooperate. After all, Daqing was also a good partner.
"Those two people were sent to me by the prince."
"yes."
"Why?"
"Haha, of course it's to help?"
"Help..." The old man naturally didn't believe it.
"Seeing that my senior has been deceived for so many years and worked so hard for it, I can't bear it." Xiao Han had a smile in his eyes and took a sip of tea calmly.
The old man's chest heaved with anger, and his face turned frighteningly dark, but he was tolerant and quickly recovered.
"Haha, thank you so much, Your Majesty. I have been planning this for many years, but I didn't expect to be tricked by a little brat. It's really embarrassing."
"Senior, you don't think this is the work of the Northern Emperor." Xiao Han said calmly.
The old man was stunned. Yes, he was blinded by hatred. How could this be done by the emperor alone? Hahaha, of course it was planned by the dead late emperor. Hahaha, it was really all the tricks. . He thought he had plotted against others, but he didn't expect that he was being plotted and used instead.
Thinking about how many years of helping that brat suppress all opposition in the court and how many shameful things he had done for him over the years, his old teeth were almost chipped.
"Of course I know that if you have plotted against me, I will take it back." There was ruthlessness in his eyes, he was not a kind person.
"Then what are you doing here, senior?" Xiao Han remained calm.
The old man showed what he thought was a gentle smile, "Of course I came to the prince to discuss cooperation."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
The old man showed an appreciative look. He believed that as long as you are a human being, you will have ambition. Especially for such a high-ranking and powerful person, I heard recently that he was engaged to the eldest princess of Daqing. Hahaha, how could such a capable and capable person be willing to succumb to others?
"My family has been planning for two hundred years, and we have a lot of power in our hands. And, hehehe, we have treasures hidden in Fuhu Mountain, which have earth-shaking capabilities. Therefore, I will cooperate with King Jingnan. As long as you are willing to help me win the Northern Territory, I will Sitting still can also help the prince ascend to the supreme position."
Now, he no longer wants to be the master of this continent. If he can win the Northern Territory, it is also possible. For the rest, he can make plans later.
Xiao Han smiled, "Senior's news is a little delayed. Don't you know that the tomb in Fuhu Mountain has collapsed?"
"What?" The old man stood up immediately. The man in black outside the door heard the noise and immediately broke in.
The old man stared at King Jingnan's face with evil eyes. He seemed not to notice anything wrong with him, and his face was very ugly. "I will investigate this matter clearly. Let's talk about it for today. I will find an opportunity to talk to the prince next time." Discuss in detail.”
