After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 263 Intoxicated

The emperor held her and looked at Prime Minister Yao and then at the people he brought with him. He had not paid much attention to them before, but now he realized that they were all young and beautiful girls.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Prime Minister Yao, let the young people have fun by themselves. There is no need to accompany an old man like me."

Before Prime Minister Yao could speak, Yao Jingshu said, "Your Majesty is not old at all. You are in your prime now."

The emperor pretended not to hear her words and continued walking forward with the queen, "Prime Minister Yao, you should go back too."

Prime Minister Yao glared at Yao Jingshu and quickly bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty, and the Empress."

Yuan Man thought about it and followed, staying not too far behind the emperor and empress.

When the emperor saw that Prime Minister Yao and the others had not caught up, he asked, "Huangfu Nan, what are you doing back here? When do you plan to go back?"

Huangfu Nan paused before saying, "For two things. As for when to go back, it depends on my mood."

When the emperor heard his answer, he wanted to say something to him again, but when he saw the queen staring at him, he pouted and asked, "What are the two things?"

Huangfu Nan said: "One is that many foreigners appeared on the Arctic border, and the other is that the magistrate of Jiucheng County committed suicide by poisoning. According to investigations, the poison he was poisoned with is very similar to the poison of the previous dynasty."

"Intoxicated?" The Queen and the Emperor looked at each other.

Yuan Man looked at them and asked, "What kind of poison is Zui Xin?"

Isn’t the county magistrate of Jiucheng Xiao Yudie’s father?

The queen explained: "Intoxication is a poison that can confuse people's minds in the previous dynasty. Although it cannot make people driven by others, it can make people lose their minds."

"Moreover, this poison has no antidote. It was listed as a banned drug before the fall of the previous dynasty, and all the formulas and medicines were destroyed. Now it only exists in legends, and there are only a few records in historical documents."

"Brother Nan, are you sure you are drunk?"

Huangfu Nan nodded, "It's confirmed. I even asked an old pharmacist to take a look. It's definitely Zuixin."

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Is there any connection between these two things?"

Huangfu Nan nodded, "Yes, before Xiao Xingjia died, he had contact with those foreigners."

"But when we arranged for people to investigate, those foreigners disappeared. It was more than a month later that they reappeared at the Arctic border, and a different group of people appeared."

"We investigated for a long time but could not find out their purpose. They only moved around the Arctic border."

As soon as Yuan Man heard the name of County Magistrate Xiao, he confirmed that he must be Xiao Yudie's father.

"They are traveling around the Arctic border, why would they want to kill the county magistrate of Jiucheng?"

"How did County Magistrate Xiao come into contact with those foreigners in Jiucheng? Did he go to the Arctic border?"

Huangfu Nan nodded and said, "Xiao Xingjia went to the Arctic border and met those foreigners. Not long after returning to Jiucheng, he died at home."

"I arranged for someone to investigate in Jiucheng. Xiao Xingjia is an upright person who is well-loved by the local people. He went to the Arctic border after receiving a letter."

"I read the letter, too. It only had eight words."

Huangfu Nan paused before saying, "Light is restored, at the Arctic border."

The emperor looked at him, "Recovery?"

Huangfu Nan nodded. "The Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and Anguo has experienced three generations of emperors. How could an organization that wants to restore the Yuan Dynasty suddenly appear, and they are all foreigners?"

"So, I will go back to Kyoto to look up the documents of the previous dynasty, and then look for traces of the royal family of the previous dynasty."

The emperor looked at the lake and said, "Of the royal family of the previous dynasty, only the lineage of the King of Qin is left. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, they moved to Xiandong. Xiandong is very far from the North Pole border, so it is impossible that they are the ones."

Huangfu Nan said: "Maybe there are still people alive, but we just don't know."

"Moreover, the identity of this Xiao Xing family is also questionable. After all, why would they find a county magistrate of a small town to help with the restoration?"

The emperor nodded and said, "There will be a grand court meeting the day after tomorrow. You can attend then."

Huangfu Nan nodded.

Seeing that they were still talking about official business, the queen pulled Yuan Man and continued to walk forward, "Come on, let's continue our shopping. Let them worry about their important matters on their own."

"By the way, since Brother Nan is here, your mother can't accompany you to Pinghe City. You should be more careful when you go out by yourself."

Yuan Man smiled and said, "It's okay, Pinghe City is not far away."

"Mother, since he is my father's cousin, why haven't I seen him for so long?"

The Queen sighed and said, "Since he inherited the title of Duke of Fuguo, he has not returned to Kyoto. Not to mention you, even Xiao'er has only seen him a few times."

"The Duke of Fuguo guards the northern border, the Prince of Zhennan guards the northern border, and General Yang Qinglan of Dong'an guards the northeast."

"Nan Ge'er, Ling Xiao, Yang Qinglan, and Your Majesty, the four of them grew up together, but as they inherited the titles, they also inherited their responsibilities."

"Nan Ge'er is the son of the Grand Princess of Xiangyang, but the Grand Princess of Xiangyang did not marry the old Duke of Fuguo. Instead, she left the capital after giving birth to Nan Ge'er. No one knows where she went."

"In the entire An Kingdom, apart from a few of us who are close to him, no one else knows his true origins."

"Ling Xiao was sent to Kyoto by the old King of Zhenbei when he was six years old. He was like a hostage and stayed in Kyoto. He lived alone in Kyoto without any relatives to take care of him. Your Majesty spent a lot of effort before he was willing to get close to Your Majesty and others. He was not taken back to the Northern Territory until he was eighteen years old."

"Yang Qinglan was the most gentle and talented among them. When we all thought he would be the top scorer in the imperial examination, he chose to join his father's army."

"We haven't seen him for more than 20 years. He never came back after he went to the North East."

Yuan Man asked in surprise: "They are guarding the northern border, why don't they need to guard the land to the east and west?"

The queen picked up a branch and drew on the ground. "The three countries in the east, west and south have signed a contract, so there will be no war."

"Second, even if a country has disloyalty, it is still the local people. But the people outside the Far North are different. They are all foreigners. They like to be enslaved and have barbaric temperaments."

"If they invade Xiayuan Continent, the people will all become their slaves, so guarding against foreign invasions is more important than internal fighting."

Yuan Man looked at the terrain drawn by the queen on the ground. She had maps of Anguo and Yunguo. After understanding what the queen had drawn, she also understood what she said.

To the north of Anguo is the desert Gobi, and further north are most likely those warlike foreign people.

There is one in An State, and naturally there is one in Yun State, Zhao State, and Song State as well.

The queen glanced at the emperor and Huangfu Nan and said, "There has been no trouble for more than a hundred years, but now foreigners have suddenly appeared. They are not here with good intentions."

"Aman, let's go back first."

Yuan Man looked at her slightly frowned brows. She clearly said that she didn't care, but when she really talked about this matter, thoughts came to her mind.

"Mother, Father and Xiao are here to take care of this matter. Don't worry."

The Queen smiled and said, "Of course I'm not worried, but I've lost interest in continuing to stroll around. Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion first."

"Okay." Yuanman helped her walk out.
