Li Jie had never had such close contact with a woman. Before he could recover from the blow to the soft flesh, he smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose. Xiao Xinning was seen holding him up nervously, with guilt in her eyes. Li Jie's heart suddenly split open and he stammered, "I, I'm not in the way." This time, even the "little minister" forgot to say it.
Xiao Xinning was still a little worried, but when she saw him like this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What an idiot."
Seeing him standing up and dusting himself off, Xiao Xinning hurriedly went to check his previous results. As soon as she saw the two big bags of red and bright berries, she laughed so hard that her teeth couldn't even see her eyes. "Sister-in-law, there are so many. I will take some back later for my father and mother to taste!"
Li Jie rarely spoke. He just glanced at Xiao Xinning and involuntarily fell on the bag of dates. He had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, and he couldn't put it into words. It was just that for the first time, he had other thoughts about Xiao Xinning in front of him.
No longer repulsive and resistant, Xiao Xinning looked extraordinarily real and natural.
Just like hibiscus emerges from clear water, and the natural carvings are removed.
Xie Ruzhuo laughed angrily and said, "Look at how heartless you are." As she spoke, she picked up the water bag on the horse, poured out the water and washed Xiao Xining's bleeding arm, and then took her own personal water bag. The handkerchief was bandaged for her.
There was a long scratch on this delicate arm, which was painful to look at. However, Xiao Xinning still seemed oblivious and said with a smile on her face, "I wasn't paying attention just now, and the tree was so pricked, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen down, and it would have hurt Mr. Li."
Having said this, Xiao Xinning glanced at Li Jie with some embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see him looking a little dazed.
Xiao Xinning was stunned for a moment, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, idiot, what are you thinking about?"
Li Jie was in a rare daze for Xiao Xinning, and was instantly brought back to his senses by her shouting. He felt a bit guilty for no reason, and he opened his mouth and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing. Princess, is your arm okay?"
The woman's skin was as delicate as jade, reflecting the ferociousness of the wound even more. When he thought of this, Li Jie felt a little distressed unconsciously. In any case, Xiao Xinning was injured because she was picking dates for him.
Although Xiao Xinning was carefree, she had an innate ability to observe people's hearts. How could Li Jie's emotions be hidden from her
She didn't expect that she would be unintentional today.
"This princess is not that coquettish." Xiao Xinning thought, sticking out her tongue and making a coquettish look and said, "You must keep today's matter a secret, otherwise my mother will complain about it again."
Seeing this, Li Jie couldn't help but smile, "Yes, I obey the order." This is a sign that the iceberg is melting in these words.
Xiao Xunning was filled with joy, and Xie Ruzhuo also noticed her joy, so he did not expose it at the moment. He only took her "results" and carefully pulled her back to the camp.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came back, they saw a low-pressure atmosphere in the main account. Minghuang's royal guards are all here, which shows that the emperor has returned. But it had only been more than an hour since the hunt started, and the emperor had already turned around. What happened
Xie Ruzhuo was heartbroken and did not go in directly. Instead, he grabbed Concubine Ye's bodyguard and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that it was Xie Ruzhuo, the palace man was so busy that he saluted and said in a low voice, "Return to the princess, someone came from the capital just now. The emperor is losing his temper in the tent at the moment. You'd better take the seventh princess to get away first."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was confused and could only say, "Okay, thank you very much, girl." After saying that, he returned to his tent with Xiao Xining, who was also a little confused.
As soon as she left the main account, Xiao Xinning asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, has something happened in the capital?" She seemed careless, but how many people in the palace were really simple and ignorant of the world
Xie Ruzhuo had a rough guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to give a definite answer. He only said, "I don't know yet. Let's wait and see what happens. Come on, I'll find an imperial doctor to give you medicine first."
The most important thing at the moment was the injury on Xiao Xinning's arm. She wanted to show off in front of her sweetheart, but when Xie Ruzhuo was bandaging her, he keenly noticed that there was a thorn stuck in her arm. If she didn't pull it out as soon as possible, She will suffer later.
At this time, Xiao Xinning did not forget to giggle and said, "Sister-in-law, today is really an unexpected surprise. Now that I am hurt, I feel that that idiot has a better attitude towards me than before."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo really didn't know whether to laugh at her or sigh. This girl, I would say she is smart, but she also has a sense of stupidity everywhere.
"You."
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and was too lazy to talk to her. He asked the imperial doctor to carefully pull out the thorn and apply medicine for her. It was rare for Xiao Xinning not to cry out in pain, but the tears in her eyes still made people feel heartbroken.
As soon as they finished packing, Xiao Junxi came back. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Zhuo'er, pack your things, we are ready to go back."
As soon as Xiao Junxi finished speaking, she saw Xiao Xinning was there, and immediately said, "Ning'er, go to the queen mother's place and wait. We will leave later."
Xiao Xinning asked in surprise, "Why so early?" As she said that, she remembered what happened before the account was taken care of, and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you in the palace?"
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xiao Junxi understood what she meant and nodded with a gloomy face.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xinning's expression suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly and hurried towards the main account.
Xie Ruzhuo was worried about her and ordered Jiang Zhu to send Xiao Xining back. Then he asked in a low voice, "Why so fast? Wasn't it just a small move before?"
Xiao Junxi said with a cold face, "Lao Wu has been secretly plotting against Chencang, and we have all been deceived by him! He has now blocked all the fortresses in the capital, and also controlled the northern camp. Although King Dingnan is in the middle of the capital, he said , but the troops and horses are at the border; not to mention King Dingbei, who is currently at war with the Yue Kingdom, and cannot escape. The only available troops and horses are controlled by Lao Wu. He had already issued a letter to the world yesterday, claiming that To be clear on your side, be honest and upright!"
Xie Ruzhuo's face became particularly ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, has he made it clear who he is?"
"He didn't say it, but looking at the capital, all the elders who have served in the two dynasties are in the capital. As long as Xiao Junyi controls them-"
The consequences would be disastrous!
Just imagine, once an emperor without military power is unable to recover, in addition to pure ministers, how many opportunistic people will take the opportunity to defect to Xiao Junyi!
What's more, among the ministers who came with him this time, there was no guarantee that there would be many loyal to Xiao Junyi.
For a moment, there was silence in the tent.
It wasn't until a rustling sound came that Xie Ruzhuo came back to his senses. He looked back and saw Hongrui standing outside the tent, and asked carefully, "Princess, the emperor has given the order to break camp, do you still have to pack our things?" "
Xie Ruzhuo immediately stood up and said, "Pack it up, how can you not pack it up?" As she said that, she thought of something again and said, "Leave it to Qian Bi and the others to pack things up. Now you can find a way to send a message to the Tianmen branch. Look. Can you get in touch with the capital and get first-hand information!"
Emperor Jing has his hidden secrets, and Tianmen also has its own set of survival rules. It shouldn't be difficult to get some information.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo regained his composure not long after, Xiao Junxi felt distressed and relieved at the same time. Without saying much, she packed up her things with Xie Ruzhuo.
It was such a grand event when the group arrived, but within half a day, everyone's faces were covered with a layer of frost.
These ministers were so sharp and sharp. When the guards from the capital, covered in blood, broke into the hunting ground to look for Emperor Jing, some shrewd people had already guessed the truth of the matter.
Later, after I got the exact answer, I felt angry, worried, and even more so, with an undefinable look on my face. It seemed that everyone had their own plans.
Xie Ruzhuo's carriage followed. She paid special attention to Xiao Junhan before getting on the carriage, and for some reason she began to feel worried. Shen Jingci has not returned from Qishan, will she join forces with Xiao Junyi
If this is the case, then things will probably be so bad that they are irreparable!
After all, the situation is obviously not optimistic when there are internal worries at a time of external troubles. When he thought of this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but swear. How sick must this Xiao Junyi be to think of rebelling at this time! Isn't he afraid that the people on the border will fight over the country of Yue in order to quell the civil strife
If someone takes advantage of him again, then he, Xiao Junyi, will be a sinner for the ages!
However, Xiao Junyi obviously didn't think about this kind of problem, or maybe he did, but in the face of great rights and wrongs and personal self-interest, he decisively chose the latter.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Jing ordered the army to adjust and prepare to leave.
This year's trip to the hunting ground must have been the worst. On the first day after arriving at the hunting ground, I didn't even catch much prey, so I started on the way back again.
Perhaps it was because of the last struggle in Emperor Jing's heart that he did not really want to believe that his son would rebel for the throne.
Only when you truly see it can you give up completely.
The atmosphere on the return trip was obviously not good. For two consecutive days, the only sound of the rumble of carriages was heard along the way, and everyone chose to remain silent with a tacit understanding.
Among these people, perhaps Xiao Junhan is the happiest. Although he was also a little scared, he mostly laughed at Xiao Junyi's stupidity.
Although Emperor Jing was furious, he did not lose his mind. Not long after setting off, he called Xiao Junxi to his carriage.
Xiao Junxi came back after a long time, with the usual calm look on her face.
Xie Ruzhuo still had the heart to joke with him, "What's going on? Is it because I was so shocked by the news that my face was paralyzed?"
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi immediately broke through, looked at her lovingly, and said, "I did hear something shocking. Do you want Zhuo'er to listen to it?"
Xie Ruzhuo poured a cup of tea, lowered the car curtain, and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Although Xiao Junyi controls the Beijing North Camp on the surface, in fact, he does not have the tiger talisman and cannot command them at all. So in other words, Xiao Junyi is nothing more than a paper tiger at the moment. He can surround the capital, but I have no ability to control my father anymore. Unless—"
Xie Ruzhuo accepted his words and affirmed, "Unless he has another trump card in his hand."
"That's right." Xiao Junxi nodded, took the tea cup in Xie Ruzhuo's hand and took a sip, then said, "It's just that I'm very curious now, what is the trump card in his hand that can make him take such a desperate risk. "
But apart from the Beijing North Camp and the Royal Forest Army, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't think of anyone else in the capital whose army could make Xiao Junyi so confident.
Suddenly, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes widened and he said, "Jun Xi, do you think it could be the secret force of the Shen family?"
"Impossible." Xiao Junxi shook her head decisively, "Firstly, Shen Jingci gained power after Xiao Junyi rebelled; secondly, don't forget who Shen Jingci is. Look at my good second brother At the moment, do you look more like you are taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, or do you look more like you are hiding your own clumsiness?"
