After Emperor Jing woke up, he was completely unmoved by Xiao Junhan who had been kneeling outside all day and night. He only said, "Kneel down and go back home. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
But in the end, he swallowed back the previous order to punish him.
Eunuch Lin naturally did not dare to tell Emperor Jing's original words. He just went outside to persuade him, "My lord, please go back first. The emperor has just woken up now and is weak. Even if something happens, you have to wait for him." You’ve cultivated yourself well.”
After Xiao Junhan heard this, he was happy that Emperor Jing had temporarily forgotten about punishing him, but he also hated himself for having lost face, and his hatred for Xiao Junxi went up to a higher level.
And this hatred reached an extreme after learning that Xiao Junxi had full authority to handle politics on behalf of the emperor.
Why, he lost both his child and his Sacred Heart in one day. But Xiao Junxi had everything going as she wished!
Xiao Junhan threw the book in his hand on the table irritably, rubbing his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious.
The current situation has become obvious. After Emperor Jing's condition improves, he may be crowned prince. He can't sit still and wait for death!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then a woman walked in.
Wearing a sky-blue skirt with flowers and smoke, and a snow-colored mandarin embroidered with red plums, three thousand blue silk threads were rolled up, and a ruby hairpin was inserted sideways. The eyebrows are delicate and the eyes are like autumn water.
It was Murong Wan.
She stepped forward and bowed, put the food box in her hand on the table, and said with a soft smile, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I went to the kitchen to make this specially. Do you think it suits your taste?" she said. While sitting, he took out the food from inside. The clear porridge and side dishes were the most appetizing. The thick green and light red dishes were paired with a white jade plate, which looked particularly refreshing when placed on the table.
Xiao Junhan's frown slowly unfurled, he walked over and sat down, then held Murong Wan's hand and said, "You should be polite."
Murong Wan accompanied him to the meal, with a smile on her lips from beginning to end, "I am married, and I am my god, how can I be rude?"
These words were particularly in line with Xiao Junhan's wishes. With such a comparison, he felt more and more that Shen Jingci was useless.
After he hinted at Shen Jingci before, Shen Jingci took the initiative to come to him and make a plan to set up Xie Ruzhuo with the unborn child in her belly.
That's a good idea.
It would be best if Xie Ruzhuo's unborn child was aborted. If the child could not be aborted, Xie Ruzhuo could also be charged with murdering the emperor's heir.
You know, Xie Ruzhuo is Xiao Junxi's only Achilles' heel. When something happens to Xie Ruzhuo, Xiao Junxi will naturally be in chaos. At that time, they can just take the opportunity to do something, and Xiao Junxi, who has no worries about suppressing him, will have no chance to turn around!
But such a good plan was all messed up by Shen Jingci when she implemented it!
This woman really succeeds more than fails.
The more Xiao Junhan thought about it, the angrier she became. Murong Wan on the side also saw some clues. She turned her eyebrows, raised a smile, and asked with a slight smile, "Master, Sister Shen is not feeling well now. She lives in the charity house." Although it is large, the lighting is not very good. I am thinking about giving Sister Shen a courtyard with good lighting. What do you think? "
It's okay that she didn't mention Shen Jingci. As soon as she mentioned it, Xiao Junhan's anger became more and more intense, "Humph, what kind of yard is it? Since she was born, let her be raised in the yard. Don't come out if nothing happens." Got it!"
Hearing this, Murong Wan seemed to be frightened, lowering her head to hide the pride in her eyes.
Xiao Junhan thought she was scared by him, because he held her tender hand and said, "I am not trying to hurt you, so don't be afraid."
After all, Xiao Junhan knelt all day and night, and his iron body couldn't bear it. After finishing the meal, he went to rest.
After Xiao Junhan went to bed, Murong Wan slowly raised a sneer and walked towards the Ciyuan.
When the last ray of the setting sun in the day was completely swallowed up by the night, Xiao Junxi returned to Prince Jing's Mansion tiredly from the palace.
The affairs of the court were already complicated. Now that Xiao Xinning's wedding was about to take place, and the army led by Xie Huainan and King Dingbei would arrive in the capital soon, matters such as who would be there to welcome him and where he would be placed became even more complicated. There are more.
When I returned to my house, everything was quiet except for the lights in the main courtyard that were on one after another, as if I was deliberately waiting for someone to return home.
The soft and peaceful light made Xiao Junxi's heart calm down instantly.
Seeing him coming back, Xie Ruzhuo put down the book in his hand, walked over with a smile, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you done with everything?"
Xiao Junxi took it, put her arms around her waist and walked to the soft couch to sit down. She smiled and said, "It can't be that fast. Things will never be finished. You are at home, so I don't worry."
Xie Ruzhuo gave him an angry look and said, "There are so many handymen and maids at home, why am I at home alone?"
"But I don't have a husband at home."
Xiao Junxi's words immediately made Xie Ruzhuo feel warm in his heart.
She bowed her head shyly for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Yes, Ning'er is getting married next month, do you want me to come to the palace to help?"
Xiao Junxi rubbed her hair and said dotingly, "Just rest at home. There are mothers and concubines in the palace to take care of it. If you are bored, let Jiangzhu Qianbi and the others accompany you to the streets." "
Seeing that he told him something, Xie Ruzhuo laughed, but his heart was filled with sweetness. In the end, he just said yes obediently.
Xiao Junxi drank the tea in the cup, put it aside, and pondered for a long time before saying, "When your brother comes back, there will be another storm."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Xiao Junxi's brows suddenly filled with evil spirits, "Do you still remember Xiao Junyan?"
"What's up with him?"
"Xiao Junyan colluded with foreign thieves, colluded with the Yue Kingdom, leaked intelligence, and was caught by Xie Huainan. Your brother is smart. Instead of alerting the snake, he used the trick to win the battle. It was just that he thought Xiao Junyan is a relative of the emperor and I dare not handle it without authorization. I will escort Xiao Junyan back to Beijing soon."
Xiao Junxi said a few words, but Xie Ruzhuo felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Such a thrilling thing, if the elder brother is not careful, I am afraid that his life will be at stake!
Xiao Junxi saw her worry, so she said softly, "Don't worry, your brother is fine now. It's just that my father is ill, and the secret report only came today. After they return to Beijing, I'm afraid it will happen again." A storm is inevitable."
"Then, will Dingnan Prince's Mansion be implicated?"
Xie Ruzhuo turned his mind to something else. Xie Ruyue is now eight months pregnant, and she sees that it is the time when she needs to be taken care of carefully. What will her sister do if Xiao Junyan decides to take over the Nanwang Mansion again
Xiao Junxi knew what she was thinking and mused, "Probably Dingnan Prince's Mansion was not involved in this matter, otherwise the matter would not have developed to the point it is now. My husband will not give Xiao Junyan a chance to bite back. "
When he said this, Xie Ruzhuo knew that he had arranged things properly, and he felt relieved.
She accidentally looked up and saw Xiao Junxi looking at her with burning eyes, "Zhuo'er, my husband finally came back, but you only think about others, making my husband sad."
He said sadly, but there was a joking expression on his face. Xie Ruzhuo instantly blushed and said angrily, "You don't look serious."
The next moment, Xiao Junxi picked her up and snorted, "How can a husband behave properly in front of his wife?"
With that said, amidst Xie Ruzhuo's exclamations, he put her on the bed and at the same time blew out the last candle in the room.
Emperor Jing retired from court due to illness and did not see his foreign ministers.
For three days in a row, all matters were left to Xiao Junxi's disposal. For convenience, Xiao Junxi even moved back to the Third Prince's Palace, where all matters were handled.
It's just that the three princes' palaces were solely used to deal with military affairs. Late at night, Xiao Junxi still rode the carriage back to accompany Xie Ruzhuo.
Seeing that he was working so hard, Concubine Ye told Xie Ruzhuo in person on the fourth day when she came to the palace to pay her respects, and asked her to move to the palace with him.
In fact, the current situation is very clear. If this trend continues, if this period of time continues, Xie Ruzhuo will probably live in the palace completely.
After all, the prince is going to live in the East Palace.
Xie Ruzhuo also felt sorry for her husband and naturally had no objection. He sent Jiangzhu Qianbi back to pack some of his daily belongings, and then lived together in the Third Prince's Palace.
She stayed at Concubine Ye's place for a while, and just as she was about to leave, she heard the eunuch outside the door announcing, "Princess Qi has come to say hello."
This Princess Qi is naturally the Princess of Qi, Murong Wan.
Even though Concubine Ye didn't want to see her, she didn't want to tell the truth. She just gave Xie Ruzhuo a wink secretly and asked her to stay with her.
Different from the haggard appearance of the previous days, Murong Wan looked particularly dignified and elegant today, and her red dress set off her otherworldly temperament.
Murong Wan looked around and saw Xie Ruzhuo there, and even smiled at her in a friendly manner. He looked a bit proud and satisfied.
But Shen Jingci did not come.
Concubine Ye asked symbolically, "How is the concubine's health?"
Murong Wan smiled softly and said, "Sister Shen has made a big mistake. Although I respect the princess and will not pursue the case, the prince cannot tolerate her. It's just that she has just given birth, so the prince has grounded her. However, he has not treated her too harshly. So Sister Shen’s health is quite good.”
Her words were a double entendre, which not only highlighted Xiao Junhan's ability to behave, but also pleased Concubine Ye. It also found a good explanation for Shen Jingci's current miserable situation.
After all, it was Shen Jingci who set up Xie Ruzhuo in the first place, and she suffered greatly from it, but she couldn't blame others.
After hearing this, Concubine Ye didn't say anything anymore, she just smiled slightly, which made Murong Wan feel unsure.
The atmosphere became cold for a moment.
Xie Ruzhuo rarely raised the topic and asked with a smile, "When I came here today, I smelled that the fragrance in my mother's palace was different from the past. It made me breathe much easier. But what new incense did you use?" What?"
Hearing this, Concubine Ye immediately smiled and said, "You have a good nose. Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a box of incense from the Western Regions. The name is very elegant, called Huanqin. It is said that it has a calming effect when burned indoors, and people After being smoked, the smell lasts for a long time, and it is even better than the flower petal bath. If you feel good about it, I will ask them to get you a box later."
