After going down to court, Xia Lingxuan looked proud, but quickly calmed down his expression. At this time, King Xiaoyao walked up to him humbly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really succeeded today. He was able to get so much fairy grass from that old man's hands. My brother is really impressed!"
Thinking of Xia Lingxuan's behavior just now, Prince Xiaoyao felt extremely happy in his heart. He did not expect that Xia Lingxuan was so capable.
Xia Lingxuan just smiled and then laughed.
"What did King Xiaoyao say? It's just because Mr. Wang is a generous man. Since he is so generous as a minister, he sacrifices his life for righteousness, and is even so generous, then naturally His Highness should accept his sentiments."
In order to prevent this matter from spreading too much, Xia Lingxuan humbly reported the matter.
"King Xiaoyao is free, so why not go to the house and talk about it."
There are so many people here, and with so many pairs of eyes staring at certain things, it is inevitable that you will be a little constrained, so Xia Lingxuan invited King Xiaoyao back to his East Palace.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has taken the initiative to invite me, it is hard to find such hospitality."
There was a happy expression on his face, and then the two of them walked side by side and quickly arrived at the East Palace in a carriage.
Walking all the way to the room, Xia Lingxuan immediately closed the door. If he didn't ask for something from the other party, it would be impossible to do this. Although King Xiaoyao looks like a playboy on weekdays, he naturally has his own little plans in mind.
Xiaoyao Wang just lives too comfortably, but he also has a strong balance and knows what he should and should not do.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? The door was locked in broad daylight. You and I are both completely decent men, but it's a little weird for two lonely men to live in the same room."
Seeing Xia Lingxuan's behavior, he deliberately teased him, but he knew very well that Xia Lingxuan probably wanted something from him.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince likes men, then you can tell your brother that he will look for some more good-looking male officials for you. I wonder what kind of male officials His Highness the Crown Prince likes? Is it someone who is graceful or gentle as jade?"
Seeing the other party teasing him, Xia Lingxuan didn't even have a smile on his face. He immediately walked to the table in front of the study and sat up straight.
"Today's incident was too abrupt. No one should have known about it when I was digging in the wasteland, but this incident was too sudden. When I dug out the treasure, it quickly spread to the public, and there was even no one in the court. Anyone who doesn’t know who spread this rumor?”
Xia Lingxuan expressed his feelings straight to the point, but at this moment, King Xiaoyao smiled calmly, knowing that Xia Lingxuan definitely wanted to hold him accountable.
However, King Xiaoyao also knew very well that the reason why Xia Lingxuan asked him was because of his strength. With his ability, it would not be difficult to find the person behind the scenes, but there were indeed some clues to what Xia Lingxuan asked.
At the beginning, Xia Lingxuan was digging in front of so many people, but when he obtained the treasure immediately, he spread the word about it. This was obviously because he did not want Xia Lingxuan to hold the treasure in his hands.
If Xia Lingxuan's brain was not too quick and he thought of the corresponding strategy immediately, which not only made the emperor happy, but also solved the most difficult problem at hand, I am afraid that there would definitely be a bloody storm.
"Your Highness, what does this mean? It's a bit abrupt for you to ask me, and I don't know. What's more, when I was in my arms, I was happy and reluctant to miss Shu. How could I possibly know who spread the news? ?”
"When I heard the news, I lifted up my pants and felt that you were triumphant above the court. This made me really powerless, brother."
After hearing this, Xia Lingxuan just smiled indifferently, knowing that this boy was deliberately pretending to be false to him, and he clearly wanted to clear up the matter.
"My good brother, stop pretending like me!"
"Brother, don't you know that your intelligence network is all over the court? You are half as good as I am, but what is the level between you and me? You also know our strength, so why are you trying to show off to me?"
Smiling, Xia Lingxuan certainly knew that the other party must get benefits from his hands, otherwise he would not help easily.
"You don't have to be too anxious. I definitely won't let you help me in vain. As long as you are willing to help me investigate this matter, I can give you a dust grass."
Xia Lingxuan had put in a lot of effort for this thing, and now he knew what the other person was thinking.
The reason why King Xiaoyao immediately congratulated Xia Lingxuan was not to express his joy at all, but to take advantage of this opportunity to extort money. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him just smiled indifferently and seemed not interested.
"Since the elder brother has said so, the younger brother will not hide it. I don't want this fairy grass, but the spiritual paper made from the fairy grass. You also know how attractive this paper is. force."
The other party smiled on the surface and seemed to be indifferent to the world, but in fact, his thoughts were very deep.
Xia Lingxuan rolled his eyes at the other party, but quickly agreed happily.
"After all, the brotherhood between you and me is something that no one else can suspect. As long as the relationship between you and me becomes more and more stable, you and I will be the best brothers."
There is something in these words, and the other party may not understand it, but Xia Lingxuan also knows that King Xiaoyao is a smart man with a quick mind, so he can naturally understand the reason.
King Xiaoyao suddenly looked happy after receiving the benefit. He seemed to have never expected Xia Lingxuan to be so generous, but he came here for this reason.
"I have heard news about this matter, but this matter did not come from other people, but from the mouth of a man named Wang Lin from the Confucian Academy."
Xia Lingxuan's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were as deep as a pool of water. He knew that someone was causing trouble behind his back, but he never thought that it was him. It must be that the two of them had a feud before and found an opportunity to take revenge.
"At the beginning, he told His Majesty the matter under the banner of petitioning for the people. My father was a little resentful when he knew about it. However, your performance surprised everyone, because they never thought that you could be so selfless. This crisis was skillfully resolved.”
At this time, Xia Lingxuan showed a trace of disdain on his face and snorted coldly.
It seems that everything is just as I thought. Now that the water in the court is getting deeper and deeper, it seems that things are only superficial.
I'm afraid the inner meaning of the matter is not that simple, but who does the force in the city belong to?
"There are people in the city who are instigating this matter. They must have had a grudge with me for a long time. I wonder if my brother can find out who is behind that force?"
Xia Lingxuan deliberately kept it secret and wanted to know whether King Xiaoyao was willing to compromise for him, but at this time King Xiaoyao shook his head.
Xiaoyao Wang, who got the advantage, did not intend to stay here longer. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly shook his sleeves, and the playfulness in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
His voice deepened, and then a trace of depth flashed in his eyes.
"However, His Highness the Prince can use this fairy grass as a key point and a starting point to investigate. I will also investigate this matter in the next few days. Although I don't know how much I can find, there will always be signs."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Lingxuan's eyes. When did King Xiaoyao become so kind-hearted?
