The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 351 Undercurrent
From that day on, Zhang Lao and Qing Yi often nestled together to read books and study Gu insects.

Xiao Yu went out with Jun Rong from time to time to check on the situation of the victims. After the old city was stabilized, Xiao Yu's body recovered almost, and he set off to return to Yongcheng.

During the period, Xiao Yu persuaded Jun Rong several times, asking him to go back to take charge of the overall situation, but Jun Rong said that sooner or later it was almost the same, so he insisted on staying. Xiao Yu had no choice but to hurry up and let everyone deal with the post-disaster reconstruction.

Fortunately, their performance was praised by the people before, so the people are very cooperative in the follow-up arrangements.

Reconstruction cannot be completed in a day or two, but this kind of thing does not need Xiao Yu and Jun Rong to supervise the work here.

Half a month later, on the fifteenth day of March, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong embarked on their way back to Beijing.

They were very anxious when they came, and they hurried along the way, and they arrived in Suizhou in just over ten days.

Now that the matter is settled, everyone slowed down on the way back, eat when it's time to eat, and rest when it's time to rest.

Passing by a small town, Xiao Yu gave everyone a day off to have fun and relax.

She also dressed up in disguise, and took Jun Rong and the others to the temple fair.

When passing by a stall selling peace talismans, Ning Zhao said to Xiao Yu: "My lord, everything has been going wrong for you these past six months, why don't you ask for a peace talisman? Even if it's useless, it's more reassuring to carry."

Although Xiao Yu didn't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but she didn't want to take away Ning Zhao's good intentions, so she nodded and was walking there when Jun Rong suddenly reached out to stop her.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu looked at him suspiciously.

Jun Rong said with a little embarrassment: "I was busy looking for you before, and then I was distracted by your illness, so I forgot about it until now. .”

"Huh? Did you prepare a safe talisman for me? When did it happen?" Xiao Yu looked at Jun Rong in surprise.

"It's been a long time. I said it was going to be consecrated and kept it in the temple. When you were sent to the palace, you happened to come to Suizhou. I never had a chance to give it to you. When I heard about your accident, I immediately turned over the amulet. Come out, I want to give it to you when I come to see you... But it's not too late now."

Xiao Yu had mixed feelings when he heard the words.

Jun Rong took out Xiao Yu's peace talisman from her purse, took her hand, and put it in her palm.

"I know Taifu doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but I do. I just want peace of mind. I wonder if Taifu can satisfy my little wish?"

Jun Rong looked at Xiao Yu expectantly.

Ning Zhao also took a look at Xiao Yu, and silently backed away, leaving the place for the two of them.

Xiao Yu looked down at the peace talisman in his hand, smiled suddenly, grabbed Jun Rong's hand and returned it to him.

The light in Jun Rong's eyes dimmed, "Teacher..."

Before the words fell, Xiao Yu said: "The peace talisman you asked for me, you will wear it for me yourself."

The light in Jun Rong's eyes quickly gathered, scorching hot.

He smiled and pinched the red thread of the peace talisman, and put it on Xiao Yu's neck carefully.

Xiao Yu looked at the safety talisman hanging down below his collarbone, and suddenly felt that it was okay to be superstitious.

She touched the rough paper of the peace talisman, and asked Jun Rong, "Where's your own?"

Jun Rong smiled and nodded at the center of her collarbone, "Here."

Ning Zhao glanced at the sky silently, she felt that it was really a stupid thing for her to propose to buy a safe talisman here.

In the end, she begged for one for herself, put it on silently, and followed behind the two of them not wanting to talk.

……

Kyoto, Prince Regent's Palace.

The old concubine sat in the yard, watching the snow-white and brilliant pear blossoms of a tree, but her eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

If it wasn't for her, she would still be breathing.From a distance, she looks like a dummy, she has no life in her body, but when she gets close, she just feels cold and permeating.

Xiao Qin came from the end of the corridor, saw the old princess sitting here, his eyes lit up, his feet quickened, he came down the steps and bowed to the old princess, "Son, send your respects to mother, is mother feeling better today?"

A few days ago, the old concubine was seriously ill. After waking up, she was still lacking in energy and energy. She hadn't stepped out of the room for many days. Although Xiao Qin was worried, she was stopped by the old concubine every time she wanted to visit.

The euphemism is that I don't want to make him sick.

Xiao Qin believed it simply, but he still insisted on taking a look every day, what if his mother wanted to see him one day?

Hearing Xiao Qin's voice, the old concubine rolled her eyes, and finally gained some popularity, "Qin'er is out of school?"

"Well, the teacher taught a lot of things today, and Qin'er didn't understand a lot of things, so I asked the teacher to explain to me, so I wasted some time."

"Mother knows that you are diligent and studious, but you must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. I heard from the nanny in your yard that you have been studying until midnight recently, so how can you do it? You are growing up, so don't be too tired , sleep when it's time to sleep, you know?"

"Qin'er always remembers her mother's teachings."

"Come, sit next to your mother." The old concubine patted the stone bench beside her, and Xiao Qin obediently walked over. After sitting down, she looked at the old concubine with worried eyes.

"Mother's face still looks ugly. What's wrong with her? Is it a cold?"

The old concubine shook her head and said: "The old man is sick, just take the medicine on time for two days, and you don't have to worry about Qin'er."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. How could mother lie to Qin'er?"

Xiao Qin blinked, "Then Qin'er will eat with mother today? It's too lonely to eat alone."

The old concubine smiled and did not refuse, "Okay, mother asked the kitchen to cook a few more dishes today, just cook what you like."

"Thank you mother!" Xiao Qin laughed happily.

The old concubine touched Xiao Qin's hair tenderly, but her eyes looked at other things through Xiao Qin.

"What is mother looking at?" Sensing that the old concubine was distracted, Xiao Qin couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's cold outside, why is Qin'er only wearing such little clothes? Ruhua... You take Qin'er to change clothes before coming back."

"Yes, son and servant will take you to change clothes." Ruhua came over and bowed to Xiao Qin.

"Qin'er doesn't feel cold."

"You don't feel cold now. It will be too late when you get sick. Be obedient and go." The old princess said firmly.

"Alright then." Xiao Qin glanced at the old concubine, and followed Ruhua obediently.

As soon as Xiao Qin left, the old concubine's expression turned cold again.

She took out a letter from her arms, brushed the envelope lightly with her fingers, her eyes flickered for a moment, and finally fell silent, she handed the letter to her side: "Go, send it to Duke Ding, and tell him that there is What are you talking about, I will talk about it at the mansion tomorrow."
