At this time, there was a sudden "dong" sound coming from the next door, as if something fell to the ground, followed by a series of curses from someone.
Xia Lan raised one corner of her lips and glanced at the closed door with a half-smile. Then she turned her gaze to Li Xue and said calmly, "I just want to know what happened to him."
Li Xue sighed softly and sat down slowly, "The whole thing is very complicated. What I said are actually the secrets of the palace. Her Majesty the Queen of Maha Kingdom is a legendary woman, just like your Chinese women.
Emperor Wu Zetian. She inherited the throne from her husband."
Xia Lan nodded. When she first arrived in Maha Kingdom, she had already heard about this history. Li Xue added, "Before Her Majesty the Queen, the former King once married a queen and died of illness after leaving a son.
And on the night she died of illness, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace where she lived, which burned for a whole day and night. By the time people put out the fire, the place had long been reduced to ashes."
"Where is that prince?"
"Some said he disappeared, while others said he was burned to death. His Majesty the King ordered a search throughout the palace, but he was not found, not even his bones. Until his death, he always believed that his son was not dead.
"Later, Her Majesty the Queen's son, Lie's father, naturally became the heir to the throne, but he was too weak and sick to govern the country. Many careerists who were eyeing the throne began to get ready..." She smiled bitterly,
"Among them, my father is also included."
"At this time, Her Majesty the Queen stood up, and with her resolute and strong tactics, a civil strife was quickly quelled. And she also sat on the throne of the Queen."
Xia Lan pondered for a moment and asked, "So, as the queen's only bloodline, shouldn't Lie be the heir?"
Li Xue shook her head, "Although this is true, other family forces in the country that opposed the queen learned from somewhere that the eldest prince did not die, but moved to China and left a son. They wanted to find him, using
Come and attack the queen! After the queen learned about it, she invited all the elders of these big families and held a secret meeting. She promised that as long as she found the son of the eldest prince, she would pass the throne to him. In this way, she could only
Forcing the opposition to go from darkness to light can temporarily appease them and preserve domestic unity."
Hearing this, Xia Lan couldn't help but praise the queen's style of conduct. Even among men, few had such a grand style. It was a good idea to retreat in order to advance. Moreover, it also gave her control over the future.
The position was taken advantage of.
"According to what you say, wouldn't it be difficult to protect Lie's position as heir?"
"Even without the eldest prince's son, Lie is still very dangerous."
Xia Lan looked serious, "What do you mean?"
"You know, Lie has a brother, right?"
Xia Lan was startled for a moment, then nodded, "I heard that he is his father's illegitimate son and lives in a villa. He has never been recognized by Her Majesty the Queen, and his identity has never been made public."
"That's right, he has already begun to actively contact the opposition. Once he cannot find the eldest prince's son, he will become a fierce competitor, and they will jointly sponsor him to force the queen to change the heir!"
"Huh, it's really a pot of porridge." Xia Lan stroked her tangled eyebrows, stood up and paced back and forth, and said, "I can simply understand that Lie is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. In short, someone wants to pull him down.
, and his brother stabbed him in the back."
Li Xue looked at her faintly, "There are four major families in the country. Shu Lie's mother's family, the Nangong family, is the strongest, followed by our Li family. The reason why Her Majesty the Queen wants us to get married is to consolidate Lie's status, but
He..." After saying that, he looked at Xia Lan silently with eyes filled with accusations.
Xia Lan didn't refute anything this time, but sat down in a good-tempered manner, "Then tell me your purpose of coming here."
"I said all this just to let you understand his situation. My father will be shaken at any time. If he goes back on his word, Lie will be at a disadvantage immediately! So," she bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say,
"So, I would like to ask you to help persuade him to marry me."
Without waiting for Xia Lan to answer, the door next door opened. Fei Sijue, handsome in casual home clothes, came over and sat next to her, put a hand on her shoulder, smiled at Li Xue, "Don't worry, for this busy job, we
It will definitely help.”
"Really?" Li Xue was a little overjoyed.
"certainly."
Xia Lan raised her eyebrows and squinted at him, who blinked at her teasingly, "You think so, my dear."
Xia Lan glared at him, but did not deny it. Instead, she said calmly, "As long as it is good for him, no matter what it is, I will do it."
Fei Sijue frowned, and something strange crossed his eyebrows. To her, Nangong Lie was indeed special.
"Thank you, Miss Xia, thank you so much!" Li Xue quickly stood up and thanked her sincerely.
After seeing her off, Fei Sijue said with some amusement, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you to meet the queen."
"No," Xia Lan shook her head, "I am enough alone."
He suppressed the ups and downs of his chest and raised his lips, but without a smile, "Xia Lan, this is not the court you are familiar with. There is no justice and strictness at all. The darkness in the palace is beyond your imagination. To the high and powerful person
For me, anything that hinders her can be discarded like a pair of worn-out shoes!"
Seeing that she wanted to say more, he raised his hand without comment, "That's it, you have no right to protest! Now, go to bed!"
Staring at him angrily, Xia Lan decided to ignore him and turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Her rare childish behavior actually made him feel relieved in an instant. He sat alone on the sofa and smiled dotingly. After the smile, his clear eyes turned solemn. Nangong Lie unknowingly turned Xia Lan to
We are involved in a power dispute. At this time, if we don’t want to be treated as caged prey and coveted by those guys all the time, we must rely on our strength to speak!
He took out his phone and walked slowly to the window,
An old voice full of ridicule came from the other end of the phone, "Jue, it's not easy for you to take the initiative to call me."
"Old man, are you still used to using new weapons?"
"Haha, that's right. Xiaohei and I like it very much. If you have anything to do with me, just tell me."
"I want to ask you a favor."
"Oh, what?"
Looking at the moon in a foreign country, his eyebrows were covered with frost, and the corners of his mouth raised an indifferent arc, "Lend me the elite in your hand."
The person opposite paused for a moment, then said angrily, "You can just lend me your life."
"Haha, if anyone dares to mess around at this time, I will remember to avenge you!"
"You brat, only you can be so heartless... Okay, okay, you can choose who you want to borrow!"
