into the bosom

Chapter 306
But he was no longer promising, and his heart softened. He coughed twice, looked down at her with a pair of eyes, and tried his best to restrain himself from asking in a cold and hard voice, "Do you really know that you are wrong?"

Xu Jiao nodded his head like a pounding garlic, stared at him with a pair of eyes, took his hand and slid it into his fingers, and interlocked with his fingers, "So...don't be angry, are you?"

He Lianshu's answer was to raise his other free hand, as if to hit her head hard.

Xu Jiao frowned, closed her eyes, and looked terrified, but she dared not dodge, but He Lianshu's hand stopped a few inches away from her forehead, and when it fell on her forehead, she lost all her strength. Seven or eight points have been removed, and that light tap is not much heavier than stroking.

Xu Jiao was stunned for a moment before opening his eyes, and looked at him blankly, but what he saw was his calm and cold face, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes looking at her, and he said coldly , "There will be a next time, and I will never forgive you!"

Xu Jiao was overjoyed, and raised her hand to hold his arm tightly, sticking it to his arms, "I will definitely, I promise, I will not be an example!" She playfully raised one hand as a sign of oath, facing his helpless In his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescent moons with a smile.

He Lianshu sighed, raised his hand to wrap her shoulders, and locked her into his arms, a smile appeared in his gloomy eyes, he lowered his head, and kissed her lightly on the top of her head.

At dawn, they set off from Hongfa Temple and returned to Feng'an City.After entering the city, Xu Jiao failed to return to the Jingfu immediately, but first accompanied the Queen Mother back to the palace.

The Empress Dowager went to Hongfa Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, but encountered a riot among the refugees and was blocked in Hongfa Temple. A major incident almost happened. The news of this incident shocked the government and the public.

Emperor Xian was even more furious. He wanted to severely punish those refugees, as a warning to others, but he was stopped by the Queen Mother, who said that she had spoken well and promised not to pursue the matter. It is to put her in an injustice.What's more, there are still refugees under the emperor's feet, and I don't know what will happen to other places where the disaster is more serious. If you don't handle it carefully at this time, it may cause a catastrophe.

In Xu Jiao's perception, this emperor is not the kind of person who can listen to honest words, even if the person who said these words is his own mother, it will make no difference.

Sure enough, he insisted on taking down and punishing all the refugees who besieged Hongfa Temple that day, killing them as an example, and made the queen mother faint from anger, and made the hospital busy and turned on their backs. His life was snatched back from King Yama.

For this reason, the Eldest Princess quarreled with Emperor Xian with harsh words. Although the Eldest Princess pushed Xu Jiao away before speaking, Xu Jiao was worried and did not dare to go too far, so she hid under the eaves of the outer hall and Can hear arguing in the hall.Xu Jiao was terrified when he thought of Emperor Xian's ugly face when he came out of the palace.

However, after all this fuss, Emperor Xian finally fulfilled the Queen Mother's promise, and did not pursue those troubled refugees any more, and ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to resettle them, which is considered soft.

The sick queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, she can recover from her illness with peace of mind.

The eldest princess wanted to stay in the palace to accompany her, so she recruited Xu Jiao to leave the palace as soon as possible.

Xu Jiao hadn't seen Wang Wan for a long time, and she was worried about it, not to mention, there was also the eldest princess... But before she could speak, the eldest princess seemed to understand her thoughts, and took her hand and said, "Wanbi, I will take care of her." You take care of it! Besides, she is a smart person, which is more reassuring than you who are a little foolish from time to time. She will get married in a few days, but there is absolutely no reason to stay outside, let alone the palace watch With splendor and prosperity, if you can live your life in peace, who would envy it?"

When the eldest princess said these words, she could not hide the sigh in her tone. Xu Jiao felt sore in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet. Instead, he shook the eldest princess's hand and said, "Mother, I will get married in two days. Are you here to marry me? I know you are worried about the Empress Dowager, but...you may be able to take the Empress Dowager out of the palace for a few days! The walls of this palace are deep, and it is uncomfortable to be sick. Change your mood, maybe this disease will be healed?"

Xu Jiao smiled sweetly all over his face, but the ends of his eyes were still red.

The eldest princess looked at her, didn't speak for a long time, just hooked the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, raised her hand and patted the back of her hand lightly, said "Good boy", but her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton balls, and after a while she opened her mouth. I couldn't speak, and after a while, I said hoarsely, "Go!"

Xu Jiao looked down and nodded.

When Xu Jiao left the palace, He Lianshu and Zi Tongling were called into the imperial study by Emperor Xian.

Emperor Xian sat behind the dragon case, his expression was not very good-looking, and he asked the two to tell him what happened last night in detail.

The two of them didn't need to speak, they had a tacit understanding, He Lianshu talked about the things before Zi Yiwei's arrival, and Zi Yiwei continued to talk about the things after Zi Yiwei's arrival.

Listening to the words of the two of them, Emperor Xian's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and there was a deep gloomy look in his eyes.

After they finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study room became condensed. After a long silence, Emperor Xian's face became pale. He raised his eyes to look at He Lianshu, and said with a smile on his face, "What happened last night is still here." Thanks to He Lianqing's family, you have worked so hard! In this way, seeing that the wedding is approaching, you should let go of everything you can and concentrate on preparing for your wedding first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!" He Lianshu didn't have the slightest objection, his face was still expressionless, he arched his hands, and thanked him in a very flat tone.

Emperor Xian raised his hand and waved, "Then you go down first!"

"Yes!" He Lianshu deserved it, and after saluting, he straightened his eyes and retreated. From the beginning to the end, he was an ice cube person who was so rigid that he seemed to have no emotion at all.

After he walked away, the smile on Emperor Xian's face disappeared without a trace. He looked back sullenly, and glanced at the person in front of him, "Commander Zi?" He shouted again, "Commander Zi!"

Commander Zi came to his senses in a jerk, and hurriedly bent over to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Emperor Xian glanced at him coldly and said, "For the time being, I won't pursue your crime of being distracted, you might as well tell me that He Lianshu rushed away because of the guard who secretly planted beside Yingyue to report the news, what about you?" ? And why did it appear there by such a coincidence? Helian Shu couldn't have informed you in advance?"

"Your Majesty was joking. With the relationship between our two families, not to mention that the governor of Helian would not have informed the minister at all. Even if he really said something to the minister, the minister would not dare to believe it! The minister sent back the news because of the eyeliner outside the city. , that's why I rushed there in a hurry." Commander Zi lowered his body by two points, and his tone was even more fearful.

His appearance showed the emperor's heart, so he snorted at the moment, his face turned pale, and he said calmly, "After all, you are doing things for me, you should put aside your personal grudges, and the overall situation is the most important thing!"

"On major matters, I will not compete with Governor Helian!" Commander Zi hurriedly said.

Emperor Xian stared at him with half-lidded eyes, nodded upon hearing the sound, and said in a calm tone, "I believe you know how to measure." After a short pause, he changed the subject, "I left the assassination case in the Forbidden Garden earlier to my discretion. You Ziyiwei have suffered a lot from the investigation by the police guards, do you have any complaints about this matter?"

"Your Majesty is serious! All the ministers are His Majesty's courtiers. Don't say that thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. The ministers dare not have the slightest complaint. They say that the position of the commander is completely guaranteed by your majesty. The only thing in my heart is gratitude." Ziyiwei will remain loyal to His Majesty, and is willing to be His Majesty's pawn, to die and die!" These words were impassioned and eager.

After listening to Emperor Xian, two smiles appeared on his faint face, "Come on, I don't need you all to die, but this loyalty is still what I want, and right now, I have something to do." Is it okay to leave it to you, Zi Yiwei?" When Emperor Xian said this, his eyes were heavy, as if he wanted to pierce through the red gold mask covering Commander Zi's face, and see his expression clearly.

Commander Zi paused for a moment, lowered his figure by two points, and his posture was extremely respectful and humble, "Zi Yiwei is up and down, but according to His Majesty's orders!"

"Okay!" Satisfied, Emperor Xian smiled and praised, stretched his body behind the dragon case, and looked at Commander Zi with a cold and indifferent gaze, "It's still the matter of last night, I always feel that there is not so much behind it." It's simple, I ordered you to investigate secretly, but you also know the physical condition of the Empress Dowager, so I don't want her to hear any rumors, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"There is one other thing..." Emperor Xian lowered his eyes, and gently turned the red gold carved dragon inlaid with hundreds of treasures on his thumb. There was a bone-chilling chill, "Those refugees made me feel like a thorn in my throat, you might as well think about it, is there any way for me to... pull out this thorn in my throat?"

Xu Jiao returned to the Jing Mansion, but she was not in a hurry to greet Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhao. The trip to Hongfa Temple was full of disturbances, she just felt that she had to clean up first to get rid of bad luck.

Quietly went back to Mingyue Residence, and asked people to boil water to take a bath, but who knows, Lingxue came to her, and whispered back, "Princess, madam is sick!"

Xu Jiao was sitting in front of the dressing table unloading hairpins. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't care less about grooming. He stood up suddenly and walked out, asking in a loud voice, "Why did you suddenly get sick? Can you find a doctor?" Have you come to see it? What did the doctor say, is there any serious problem?"

She asked repeatedly, and while keeping up with her pace, Neg Xue replied softly, "It is said that the wind blows and the window is not closed because of the coolness at night, and I have invited Doctor Zhou to come and see it. It's not that serious, and he prescribed a prescription and used medicine, but Madam didn't see her recovery. The servant girl and Qin Niang discussed that if today is not well, I'm afraid I have to ask Madam for instructions, so I would like to invite an imperial doctor to come and have a look. Coincidentally Princess, you are back, please show me what to do!"

Xu Jiao's steps suddenly stopped, and he murmured, "Sick so suddenly..." Suddenly thought of something, Xu Jiao suddenly turned his eyes to Ling Xuedao, "Before I leave, I told you to take care of the person in the big house. , have they been to mother in the past two days?"

She asked Nexus to stay here not just to let her stay here to recuperate her injuries, but also to entrust her with other tasks.

Negative Xue hurriedly replied respectfully, "The servant stared very carefully, and made sure that no one from the eldest house had ever approached the madam. Although the old madam relieved the confinement of the eldest lady because the princess was about to get married, she was very at ease. Every day, I have never been out of the Weary Hospital unless necessary."

Xu Jiao's brows were still tightly frowned. It's not that she didn't believe in Xue, but she just thought of Jing Shan who had been very responsible for a while before, and she couldn't help but snorted softly. Facts have proved that the saying that dogs can't change eating shit is very reasonable .

Xu Jiao arrived at the main courtyard, but failed to enter the door.Qin Niang bowed her knees and saluted her, and stopped her outside with some embarrassment.

"Princess, Madam said that she has suffered from the cold, and the princess is about to get married. At this time, I dare not let you approach. If you are sick, it will be bad."

Xu Jiao frowned even more as she listened, and while looking behind her, she said, "I'll just see my mother, and I can rest assured that she's fine. I'm in good health, and I'm not afraid of anything. Sickness." As she said that, she grimaced and rushed in, Qin Niang couldn't stop her at all, and she didn't dare to stop her.

She went straight into the inner room, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao and stopped at the curtain, "Okay, Ajiao, you insist on seeing your mother, and now you are allowed to see her, so you stand there and let's talk." That's it, if you really pass the sickness, I will be angry."

The curtain of the bed in the inner room was lifted halfway, Mrs. Zhao was leaning against a pillow on the head of the bed, her complexion was a little pale, after talking for a while, maybe her throat was itchy, so she coughed twice, but she could I can see people.

Xu Jiao stopped and looked at her probingly, "Is mother alright?"

"It's nothing serious, just a little cough! You've seen it, I'm really fine!" Mrs. Zhao looked at her with a helpless expression.

Xu Jiao took a closer look at her face, and found nothing unusual, and the tension in her heart relaxed a little.

"Did mother drink the medicine?" The smell of medicine could be faintly smelled between the nostrils.

"Yes." Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly.

Xu Jiao laughed when he heard this, "Then I'll stay here and talk to my mother for a while! Lixue, bring me a stick!"

Negative Xue moved quickly, and she really brought a scorpion over.

Xu Jiao sat down by herself, as if she was afraid that Mrs. Zhao would open her mouth to push her away again, sighed, and said, "Mother doesn't know, it will not be smooth going back to Hongfa Temple, and now thinking about it, I still feel a little scared."

Mrs. Zhao's face changed slightly when she heard this, "Where did you start? What happened?"

Seeing her like this, Xu Jiao let go of her heart, and now she was afraid of scaring her, so her tone was much gentler, hiding the things about her being in danger, and said things lightly, emphatically It highlights how wise and mighty the governor Helian, who rescued them from the water and fire, was like a divine soldier descended from heaven at the critical moment...

Mrs. Zhao laughed at the end, "You, be more reserved, if you look like this in the eyes of others, you must be said to be shameless!"
