Chapter 20 Beating up the People Around the Queen

At the same time, Ni Rong, the bodyguard next to the regent, came to the prime minister's mansion to see Xia Zian.

Prime Minister Xia heard that he was someone close to the regent, so he came out to meet him in person.

"My lord, the prince ordered me to pass Xia Zian into the palace." Ni Rong said.

Prime Minister Xia thumped in his heart, "My lord sent her into the palace? I don't know why?"

Ni Rong said: "I only follow the orders of the prince, as for the reason, I don't know."

Prime Minister Xia said regretfully: "However, my daughter suddenly fell ill and is now bedridden. I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the palace. Please go back and tell the prince."

"Sudden illness?" Ni Rong frowned, but secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that the Prime Minister's government had already made a move earlier?

"That's right, the doctor said she might die." Prime Minister Xia said sadly.

Ni Rong knew that this was an excuse, he said: "Can you let me see the eldest lady?"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate," Prime Minister Xia looked a little displeased, "She is seriously ill now, and she is in the boudoir, how can she let men enter at will? It will damage her reputation."

Festival? Ni Rong sneered from the bottom of his heart, what is Xia Zian's reputation today? Repenting in public, has become a well-known figure in the capital, and is an extremely negative figure, who opposes his family, does not know how to praise, offends the king of Liang and the empress, who would not avoid it?

"Master, please forgive me. I am also following orders. I have to see the eldest lady, otherwise I can't do business." Ni Rong said.

If something happened to Xia Zi'an, His Royal Highness King Liang might not be able to save him.

Ni Rong knew the relationship between the prince and the king of Liang, so he would not stop until he saw Xia Zi'an, even if it was a corpse.

Prime Minister Xia was a little impatient, why didn't this man eat oil and salt? He is a dignified first-rank prime minister, and it is already a special compliment to him to meet him personally, but he did not expect him to be so entangled.

"You go back. When you see the prince tomorrow, you will tell him the truth." After Prime Minister Xia finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Ni Rong stopped her with one step, and said firmly: "Master Xiang, I won't leave until I see the eldest lady today. If she is really ill, I can ask the prince and the imperial doctor to go out and treat her."

Prime Minister Xia frowned, "Ni Rong, don't push yourself too hard. The doctor said she doesn't have much time. Please understand how a father feels and don't bother her anymore."

"Since the doctor said that she is seriously ill, then I propose to ask the imperial doctor to treat her. Xiangye should be happy. Why don't you understand Xiangye's feelings as a father? I really can't understand." Ni Rong said suddenly.

He has been with the regent for many years, he is used to all kinds of wind and rain, and he has encountered all kinds of difficult people, but he rarely sees such a brazen and shameless person, so Ni Rong was also angry.

In particular, Xia Zian is still the future princess regent. Although the prince doesn't like it, he has to deal with it.

"What's going on? What are you making so much noise about?" The old lady came out of the inner hall leaning on a cane, with a majestic expression on her face.

Just now when someone came to report that the people around the prince wanted to see Xia Zi'an, she became a little wary. She listened in the inner hall and saw Ni Rong getting more and more presumptuous, so she showed up to meet him.

Ni Rong is well aware of the power of this old lady, so he met each other cautiously, "Ni Rong has seen the old lady!"

"Ni Rong?" The old lady sat down on the chair, raised her dignified eyes to stare at Ni Rong, "Who are you?"

"As for the old lady, I am the bodyguard next to the regent." Ni Rong replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Guard?" The old lady said indifferently: "That is a slave, why don't you meet with the courtesy of a slave?"

Ni Rong's expression remained unchanged, "Returning to the old lady, I am a third-rank bodyguard personally appointed by the emperor, not a slave, so I don't need to meet you with the courtesy of a slave."

"Oh?" The old lady hummed, her expression was quite stern, "It turns out that she has a rank, no wonder she speaks so arrogantly, even today's prime minister doesn't pay attention to it, if you don't know, I think you Not the guards next to the regent, but the regent himself."

Ni Rong was not angry either, and still spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "If there is anything offending in my words, please forgive me, old lady, but please allow me to go in and meet the eldest lady of Xiangfu, so I can do business when I go back. "

The old lady snorted and said, "You are young and your ears are fine. Why can't you understand people's words? It's not convenient for people to see you. You go back and report to the regent and say that you have something to blame. The old man personally Go and plead guilty."

After finishing speaking, she ordered sharply, "Xia Quan, see off the guests!"

Xia Quan walked in from the door, and said to Ni Rong with a gloomy face: "Guard Ni, please!"

Ni Rong expected that Xia Zi'an was already in danger, but it was not appropriate to make a big fuss in the prime minister's house, so he bowed his hands and begged, "Okay, since that's the case, I will go back to the prince as it is!"

After speaking, turn around and leave.

The old lady said behind him in a strange way: "A small bodyguard dares to act wildly in my prime minister's mansion. Every master has such a slave!"

This was intentionally said to Ni Rong. It can be seen that the old lady was very angry at Murong Jie's weakening of the prime minister's power after he came to power.

Ni Rong sneered, but strode away without saying a word.

Prime Minister Xia looked at the old lady worriedly, "Mother, if you offend him like this, aren't you afraid that the regent will ask you for it in the future?"

"What's the crime?" The old lady frowned, "You, you are too timid, what big things can you do if you shrink back? Xia Zian has been poisoned, and if you see him now, I'm afraid it's a corpse. Tell him that Xia Zi'an An is seriously ill, and it is only logical that news of the funeral will be announced tomorrow."

"However, Murong Jie ordered someone to send her into the palace, what's the matter?" Prime Minister Xia asked worriedly.

"What could be the matter? Use your head to think about it. Murong Jie and the empress have always been at loggerheads. The empress wants Xia Zi'an to die. How can the regent let the empress go smoothly? Naturally, he wants to make a mess to make the empress feel uncomfortable."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Xia Quan, who had sent Ni Rong out, came back quickly, "Old lady, Mr. Xiang, an aunt came outside. She said she came from the empress's palace, and she wanted to send the young lady into the palace."

The old lady sneered, "It seems that the regent still has something to do. As soon as Ni Rong left, someone who claimed to be from the empress's palace came. He wanted to fight against the empress to the end. This time, we must stand up. On the empress's side, try to make a good impression on the empress."

When Prime Minister Xia heard the words, he immediately ordered: "No matter who you call yourself, just call him!"

"Yes!" Xia Quan took the order and left.

Nanny Yang, who was beside the queen, was waiting outside the mansion with a handbook, with a look of anger on her face.

She came here with the Queen's Empress' letter, but the housekeeper didn't allow her to enter, and asked her to wait outside the door. When did the Prime Minister's mansion become so high-profile?

After waiting for a while, seeing Xia Quan come out, she sternly said, "How long do you have to report? The Empress ordered Xia Zi'an to enter the palace immediately to have an audience!"

Xia Quan sneered coldly, "Really? No one dares to disobey the Empress's orders, but if there are people who falsely pass on the Empress's will, they will not be forgiven lightly."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, two thugs stepped forward, twisted Yang Nanny's arm and pulled it in.

Nanny Yang was furious, struggling and said: "What a prime minister, are you going to rebel?"

Xia Quan slapped Nanny Yang on the face, and said contemptuously: "You, an old woman, dare to pretend to be the nanny next to the empress? You really don't know what to do."
