"Send His Royal Highness Prince Lie to the northwest?" Tian Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he asked in a low voice with some uncertainty.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Huayong gently picked up the sycamore leaf, followed the direction of the light, and looked at the lifelike outline in the dim light. His eyes seemed to be blended with the rosy glow, with warm waves flowing and the corners of his lips slightly upturned.
“Your Highness, when His Royal Highness Prince Lie was hunted down and brought before the Princess, the Northwest Palace also helped…” Tian Yuan reminded, shrinking his neck.
Xiao Changying was ordered to be killed by Prince Consort Wei and others because of the rouge case. Various forces showed their strength. The King of the Northwest also made a contribution and secretly protected Xiao Changying, but he did not save him. He just created an opportunity for Shen Xihe to save Xiao Changying.
This shows that Shen Yueshan intends to marry Shen Xihe to Xiao Changying.
If Xiao Changying is sent to the Northwest now, Tian Yuan is afraid that his master will regret it if he wins the favor of the King of the Northwest.
Xiao Huayong's smile froze for a moment, and then he let out a short laugh: "He has no chance."
Xiao Huayong knew Shen Yueshan's plan. He wanted to support the fifth brother. The fifth brother and Xiao Jiu were brothers from the same mother and had a deep brotherly love. If the fifth brother took the position, Xiao Changying would be second only to the emperor. For the sake of this brotherly love, as long as Shen Yueshan did not cling to power, the Shen family would have a good ending and Shen Xihe would not have to be caught up in the intrigues of the emperor's harem.
As for Shen Xihe, the apple of his eye, Shen Yueshan planned every step carefully. He chose the best path for Shen Xihe without abandoning his responsibility as the King of the Northwest and without disappointing the peace in the Northwest.
Unfortunately, Shen Xihe did not like Xiao Changying.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huayong couldn't help feeling happy, and the corners of his lips rose again. Although he didn't know why Shen Xihe looked down on Xiao Changying, Xiao Huayong firmly believed that if Shen Xihe was unwilling, Shen Yueshan would never force her.
Therefore, Xiao Chang has no chance of winning.
When Xiao Changying went to the northwest, he would have someone spread the news that Xiao Changying had brought the defense map to threaten Shen Xihe to Shen Yueshan's ears without leaving any trace. He would then see how Xiao Changying could still please Shen Yueshan.
Tian Yuan could sense his master's deep displeasure. He had already fulfilled his duty as a subordinate and said all that needed to be said, so he quickly ran away.
While Shen Xihe was facing Xiao Changying, the news that the defense map of Anxi Protectorate was lost spread in a small circle the next day. The news was very detailed, but there was no evidence.
No one knew where the rumor came from, and Emperor Youning summoned important officials from the three provinces and six ministries to discuss the matter. Some people believed that there is no smoke without fire, and that it might be true, and that Shen Yueshan should be summoned to the capital immediately to give an explanation.
Some people think that maybe it was a deliberate attempt to alienate the emperor and his ministers. After Your Majesty summoned Shen Yueshan and lured the tiger away from the mountain, he launched a large-scale attack on the northwest. It was the northwest that was attacked and there was no one to stay. Who should be held responsible for this crime
The two sides were arguing, and Emperor Youning even sent people to summon several adult princes to ask for their opinions.
At this moment, Xiao Changying was feeling upset. He had an intercepted defense map in his hand, but he was not sure whether it was true or not. If it was false and he presented it, it would prove that someone had deliberately transferred Shen Yueshan, and he would have to bear the blame.
It is not advisable to stand out when the wind is strong and the waves are rough.
He also knew that if he did not submit it now, he would not be able to submit it again later, no matter whether it was true or false, otherwise he would be suspected of deceiving the emperor.
