The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 199 What Gift Should I Give?

After receiving Zhen Qingping's reply, Xiao Yu asked him to hold on and wait for the opportunity.

Lu Shengming teamed up with the Xunji Division to overcome many difficulties and finally found Nanjia Village in Bingzhou. As expected, it was burned to the ground. There were 130 people in the village, except Nanqingshan. None of them survived.

At the beginning, the county magistrate of Liu County refused to admit it, and was finally scared when Shang Ming held a knife around his neck. In addition, with the big Buddha of the Regent, Shang Ming coaxed and lied, and finally investigated the matter clearly and knew the truth Finally, he was so angry that he almost slaughtered those beasts on the spot, but was stopped by his subordinates, so he arrested them first, and quietly escorted them back to the capital.

Everything was done very secretly, Zhao Jinghuai didn't hear any news from there, and he was still immersed in the excitement that his precious son was about to have a palace test, but he didn't know that the day of the palace test was the time when they were arrested.

……

In five days, Xiao Yu sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, sorted out the evidence again, and confirmed that Zhao Jinghuai, Wen Jizhen and his party could be crucified in one fell swoop. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare Jun Rong's birthday present.

In the past few days, she was busy leaving early and returning late, and she was always at a different time from Jun Rong, and the two of them didn't see each other very much.

It was rare for Xiao Yu to be free, sitting by the window and feeling worried again, what should I give?
Jun Rong is the king of a country, who lacks everything, even the treasures in the treasury.

What should she give?

When Ningzhao came in, she saw Xiao Yu frowning, and asked curiously: "What problem is the prince encountering? Why is his expression so dignified?"

Xiao Yu sighed and did not answer, but instead asked her: "Why didn't you go to Your Majesty's side, where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is writing memorials in the Imperial Study Room. Seeing that the birthday is approaching, there are many things to do. Your Majesty hasn't slept well in the past few days. Today, I heard that the prince is free, so I will let the lower officials take care of me first."

Ning Zhao said and put hot tea on the small table.

"sit down."

Without outsiders, Xiao Yu didn't want to act like master and servant with Ning Zhao.

"Yes."

Ning Zhao sat down opposite her, and Xiao Yu picked up the teacup and flipped the tea leaves on it, "If your majesty can't sleep well, go to Mrs. Zhang to make some soothing things for your majesty to drink before going to bed. He is growing up now. When it’s time, it’s okay not to take good care of it.”

"Okay, sir, remember."

Xiao Yu responded, and after taking a sip of the hot tea, her brows and eyes relaxed slightly. She looked at her own reflection in the cup and found that she was also haggard. , look at my dark circles are not small."

Hearing this, Ning Zhao raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu for a moment, then said distressedly: "My lord doesn't seem to have gained any flesh, these days are really hard."

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head: "How can a person not work hard when he is alive? When he is dead, he has a lot of time to relax."

Ning Zhao was helpless: "But you have to have a limit for hard work. There are so many people below, so what if the prince asks them to do it? Don't white-collar workers work with their salaries?"

"I, maybe I'm born to be a worry-loving person. If I don't see some things myself, I can't rest assured."

Xiao Yu thought about Nan Qingshan, thoughtful: "Especially when investigating the case, I want to participate in every link, and I also want to give justice to the deceased, Nan Qingshan... the person my uncle likes so much must be very good, right? It’s a pity to go like this.”

"It's a pity. If these things hadn't happened, he might be the winner of the Toad Palace now, right?"

Thinking of this case, Ning Zhao couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, people's fate is unpredictable. If he had known that so many things would happen when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and the whole village would die with him, would Nanqingshan come?

This topic was too heavy, the two of them fell silent at the same time, even the air seemed to freeze.

Xiao Yu regained his composure and chuckled: "Let's not talk about this anymore, the man has passed away, what we can do is try our best to clear up his grievances and give him justice."

"Yes."

"Tell me, you follow His Majesty every day, have you heard him say what you like? Or what do you want in particular?"

Xiao Yu thought about the gift again, and was going to ask Ning Zhao for her opinion.

Ning Zhao thought for a while and shook her head: "Perhaps he was influenced by the prince. His Majesty never said what he likes or wants, as if anything is fine, and no one can figure out what he likes."

Xiao Yu choked, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

That's right, the king of a country is in crisis, and the world seems to be his people, but how many people are really credible and really think about him wholeheartedly?
In order to prevent people from taking advantage of it, you must always be careful everywhere, and it is best not to have any flaws.

"That's fine..." Xiao Yu murmured.

"However, isn't Your Majesty practicing martial arts with General Feng recently? I heard from General Feng that His Majesty has almost mastered his boxing skills, and it's time to learn swords next."

"Learning a knife?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, Dao, I know what to give him."

Ning Zhao was surprised: "Does the lord want to give His Majesty a knife? Wouldn't it be good to give a knife?"

"It's nothing bad, don't pay attention to that."

"However, what I'm giving is not necessarily a knife. A knife requires a good blacksmith and good materials. What I want to give is another thing."

Ning Zhao looked at Xiao Yu curiously: "What is it?"

Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word.

Ning Zhao didn't ask any more questions, maybe she wanted to surprise His Majesty?

After figuring it out, Xiao Yu asked Ning Zhao to leave mysteriously, and hid in the side hall to fiddle with herself. She didn't go out all day, and only thought of eating in the evening.

After eating, she was messing around inside again, and she didn't see Jun Rong when she came back, saying that she was very busy and would see him when she was done.

Jun Rong had no choice but to tell through the door: "Okay, let's talk about it after you finish your work, but you have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, don't be too tired, your body can't bear it."

"know."

Xiao Yu sent Jun Rong away with two simple sentences.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu only shut himself up for two days, and finally saw Jun Rong on the third day.

Jun Rong came back to have dinner with her, and it was difficult to talk during the meal. After eating, he looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, and wanted to ask her what gift she had prepared with curiosity and anticipation, but when he thought it was a surprise, he still held back , and moved on to another matter.

"Cough—is there a result in Nanqingshan's case?"

Xiao Yu nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I've already found out, just wait for the imperial examination two days later, and tear off Zhao Jinghuai's skin!"

Jun Rong was thoughtful: "Could it be possible to clean up the Rongguo mansion by the way?"

Xiao Yu looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said gratifiedly: "Your Majesty is getting smarter now, Rongguo Duke's Mansion and Yongping Hou's Mansion are in the same breath, and can buy so many people, Yongping Hou alone can't do it."

"Wen Jizhen was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites at the beginning. It was really not easy for Marquis Yongping to buy him. It would be easier if he were replaced by Duke Rong, who is in full swing." Jun Rong figured it out as soon as he turned his head.
