Xiao Xin glanced at Xing Bang but didn't say anything. Instead, she handed the medicine bowl to the Sixth Prince and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has asked me to watch you finish the medicine."
Liu Jing stared at the medicine bowl and curled his lips, "Mother is too meticulous, this medicine is so bitter, put it down first, I will drink it later..."
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. The Queen is also worried about your health!"
"Xiao Xin, what's wrong with you? I've been talking about drinking for a while, and now I'm annoyed and I'm going to throw it away for you..."
The Sixth Prince was getting a little impatient, and he had some complaints about his mother in his heart. She was so old, but she still had to take care of such a small matter as making sure his mother took medicine.
Xing Bang looked at the situation and thought that Xiao Xin might be punished soon, so he decided to help her out.
"Your Highness, the Queen also cares about you and loves you. Besides, although you are basically cured now, you still need to take the medicine for a few more days, so that the antibodies in your body will be stronger and more stable..."
Liu Jing frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, "Okay!" Then he took the medicine bowl, pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one breath.
Xiaoxin quickly handed over the mouthwash that he had prepared in advance...
After doing all this, Xiao Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to Xing Bang. It was worth making friends with him, as he really helped at the critical moment.
"Eunuch Li, the Queen knows you are coming, so she wants you to come over!"
Xing Bang smiled knowingly, and Xiao Bangzi stopped yelling, thinking that he was so polite for just helping out a little. However, he could also imagine that Xiao Xin was grateful from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally subconsciously showed respect to him.
"Your Highness, please take a break first. You should rest more and avoid overwork these days to avoid any sequelae..."
"Little Korean, you must come quickly after you see the Queen Mother. This will make me feel relieved and happy for a while."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave now!"
Xing Bang said hello and went out with Xiaoxin.
It must be said that Empress Xiao really dotes on the Sixth Prince, and she even ran from the palace to visit him. Under normal circumstances, this would be easily criticized, but Liu Xian allowed it...
Soon they arrived at the room where Queen Xiao was staying. There were two unfamiliar people there, a dignified old man with silver hair and a man in his thirties standing behind him.
"Your servant kowtows to Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Get up, little Korean, you've been working so hard, take your seat!"
Queen Xiao pointed directly to the seat opposite the old man.
The old man remained calm, but the man behind him groaned...
"Thank you, my lady!"
Xing Bang sat down without any hesitation. He heard the stranger's low groan, "I'm sitting and you have to stand. Bite me..."
"Little Stick, let me introduce you to this, this is my father!"
No wonder he is so majestic, it turns out he is the Prime Minister who is second only to the emperor.
Xing Bang quickly stood up and said, "I greet Prime Minister Xiao!"
Li Xiaowan's father was also the prime minister at that time, but he was the right prime minister under the junior prime minister. He was probably also a victim of party struggles.
Xiao Guogang also stood up and exchanged greetings with Xing Bang...
"Behind him is my second brother, Shizhong, who is currently the Minister of War of the imperial court."
"Greetings, Lord Shangshu!"
However, Xiao Shizhong only responded symbolically, and his attitude was not very good...
Queen Xiao motioned Xing Bang to sit down, then looked at Xiao Shizhong and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Shizhong, Huang Baiwan has done so many evil things that he deserves death. I have warned you long ago not to associate with those people. They will drag you down with them over time. Huang Baiwan's affairs have nothing to do with the little sticks. I don't want this to happen again. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lady!"
Xiao Shizhong agreed.
So that's why. No wonder Huang Baiwan is so arrogant and domineering. It turns out that he has the support of Xiao father and son!
"Your Majesty, His Highness has also visited. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"good."
Then, the Xiao family father and son left...
"Father, my elder sister actually scolded me for a little eunuch. I really want to kill that little eunuch... He ruined my good fortune. Huang Baiwan died and his affairs were not properly handled. How can his sons still be devoted to him? How much money must he lose in a year!"
"You, shut up..."
As soon as he walked out of the door, Xiao Shizhong couldn't hold back his anger and started complaining. Although his father was also a little unhappy, he was a veteran and much more cunning after all.
It was not until they returned to their own study that Xiao Guogang said with a hint of anger: "How many times have I told you not to just focus on those petty gains? You must judge the situation and take the overall situation into consideration. What's the point of having a lot of money if you don't have a life to spend it?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What could have happened to our family? Did you feel embarrassed just now, so..."
Before Xiao Shizhong could finish his words to save face, Xiao Guogang glared at him and shut him up.
"You have been in charge of the Ministry of War for many years, but you still haven't made any progress. There are still many things in the dark that you can't understand."
Xiao Guogang felt a bit disappointed...
"Dad, why do you always look down on me? Ever since I became the Minister of War, our family has reached its peak of glory. The He family has also fallen. Who in the court dares to go against us?"
"And your majesty?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you today? His Majesty has always turned a blind eye to our family. Besides, even if His Majesty wants to take action against our family, he has to consider the political situation..."
Xiao Shizhong was very confused and had never thought about what would happen to their Xiao family.
Xiao Guogang frowned and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been dealing with His Majesty for half my life, and I know His Majesty very well..." I have never let my guard down and have always been cautious. I thought His Majesty didn't have much time left, so we just had to wait and see. But what happened recently has made me worried."
"Father, you have confused my child..."
Xiao Guogang sighed, "Originally I didn't want to mention these things to you, but now I have to tell you, otherwise you will always be confused and confused."
"I now understand a little bit. We may have been too optimistic about Your Majesty getting rid of the He family. The reason why you have been in charge of the Ministry of War for many years is actually to check and balance the power of the He family's army...
It seems that cutting off one's own arm is beneficial to us, but I now have a bad feeling. When the time comes, our Xiao family may follow the footsteps of the He family. Although His Majesty is forbearing now, who can guarantee that he is not secretly plotting? "
Xiao Guogang felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this. He had always known that the Xiao family was the biggest hidden danger to the crown prince's stability. He had never expected Liu Xian to move against the He family. Ever since he learned that the four elders had obtained the dragon's inner elixir, and about Madam Fanghua in the palace...
"Dad, you think too much. In my opinion, His Majesty is just getting old and confused. Think about it, if he eliminates the He family's power, doesn't that mean he has cut off the prince's strong supporters?"
