Chapter 249 Xu Ling is full of complaints
There are fried eels, fried loach, and steamed soft sheep on the table. Fish are often raised in the palace, and a bowl of fresh fish soup is cooked.

Song Huiyue and Yin Xiao were both extremely hungry, without any nonsense, they opened their mouths wide, showing their back molars, and began to munch.

When Song Huiyue was full, put down her chopsticks, and drank slowly with a bowl of rock sugar water in her arms, Yin Xiao threw off her arms and picked up the fried loach with her chopsticks like a side dish, swallowing all the bones and thorns go down.

As for the fried eel, his mouth was sore and he couldn't suck any meat. He really had no luck with it, so he could only reluctantly give up, cleaned up the rest, and then drank two bowls of rock sugar water in a boozy manner.

After eating and drinking enough, Song Huiyue said softly, "I'm sleepy."

Nanny Yun hurriedly asked the waiter to remove the dining table, went in and unfolded the brocade quilt, closed the light bar, and changed Song Huiyue into pajamas.

Then Song Huiyue took out the flat roll of letter paper from under the sole of her shoe, held it in the palm of her hand, got into the bed, closed her eyes, and felt that her body began to collapse, falling to the bed one by one, and then her mind relaxed. Began to slack, quickly fell asleep.

Song Huiyue fell asleep, but Yin Xiao didn't sleep. She sat on the cold floor tiles, with her back against the wall, her hands clasped on her lap, and she sat like a rock.

He was not sleepy, his eyes were shining brightly in the darkness, this escape and fight was nothing to him, but he also felt that he had escaped from death by a narrow margin, and had the joy of remaining in his life.

Nurse Yun spread a quilt on the floor for him, and he lay down straight, closed his eyes, only opened his ears, and listened to the servants coming in and out lightly, blew out the candles, closed the door, and waited outside the courtyard, Someone set up a ladder, fiddled with the lanterns outside the courtyard, and replaced the short candles that were about to go out with long ones.

As soon as the thin bamboo made a rustling sound in the wind, the moso bamboo poles placed in the yard also heard the thin sound of the bamboo poles slowly separating because they were separated from their roots.

These voices were very soft, but he never let up and listened to them all.

The sounds at night are always orderly, and only those with a quiet heart can hear them. However, King Jin was in Daxiangguo Temple, his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't hear any sounds.

Su Ting led the imperial army in pursuit, but left Zhang's father and son and King Jin in place.

There are also those Xiang soldiers, whose legs are not as fast as the imperial army. If they want to catch up, they don't know where to chase. Lord, I decided to stay.

Catching thieves is not a good job, if you don't meddle, you don't meddle. If Su Ting and Shang Feng question him tomorrow, he will say that he is afraid that Master Zhang and King Jin will fight again, so he stays here.

After all, there are so many guards in the Zhang family, so the Daxiangguo Temple doesn't have to do anything tomorrow when there is a commotion, it just needs to be superseded.

The sound of clappers came from outside the temple. It was already midnight, and the sky was getting darker. The sound of Buddha was still coming in, filling the whole Xiangguo Temple. Everyone who heard it was pure-hearted and ascetic. Soon, they would become Buddhas immediately.

Except for the Buddha's voice, there was no sound at all. The two rows of torches brought by the Xiang army, together with the lanterns lit during the previous search, were enough to illuminate the place. Under the bright lights, there was a chill.

Zhang Xuling stood in this murderous atmosphere, while supporting Zhang Rui's arm, while staring at the knife in King Jin's hand, he told King Jin to put down the knife loudly in his heart, and he must not kill his father impulsively.

Otherwise, as a son, he would have to save his father with his own body. Even if he didn't die, it would be uncomfortable to be stabbed.

He kept silent on his lips, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved: "Every bad idea in the family is always led by the second child, and my father still praises him for being dedicated to the Zhang family, but when it comes time to take the lead, he will always be the leader." It's all up to my boss, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

He looked up and looked around, except for his bald head, he didn't even see a single hair of Zhang Xutang's hair, and he became more and more angry: "When you were asked to play monsters, you disappeared! In the next life, I'll just replace it with you." Come be the boss, I'll be the second!"

Thinking of this, he realized that what he was thinking was wrong, and quickly said to the Buddhas in the temple secretly: "Buddha, what I just said in the next life will be impulsive, please don't take it seriously. Be brothers with the second child."

He was thinking wildly in his mind, but Zhang Rui was "quiet" beyond ordinary people, and he could even look at King Jin with a smile: "My lord, good, so majestic."

The king of Jin said modestly: "In terms of prestige, it is not half as good as Xiangye, let alone Zhang Yanei, even the second king Yan is above this king."

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "The old man should have had a thorough discussion with the lord about government affairs, but it's a pity that the thieves caused chaos and couldn't take care of both. I hope the lord will forgive me."

King Jin nodded: "Master Xiang is getting old, and it's common sense that he can't support himself. It's better to go home and rest, and leave the matter of the thief to the imperial army and the magistrate's yamen to deal with."

"I can't rest," Zhang Rui turned his head and told Zhang Xuling, "Go home first, check if there is anything missing at home, and if there are any more things, and if there are any, report to the prefect of Dou immediately."

"Yes," Zhang Xuling asked, "Father, what about you?"

Zhang Rui took a deep look at King Jin: "I'm in a state of confusion, and I want to go in and ask Master Zhizhen for advice, will the prince not let me?"

King Jin immediately handed over the long knife in his hand to the guards around him, stepped aside, and everyone in the palace behind followed him to make way, leading directly to the meditation room.

"Master, please."

Zhang Rui lifted up his robe and walked towards the meditation room calmly.

As soon as he left, Zhang Xuling also hurried home to check on the housework. The King of Jin "remains true to his original intention" and told the chief to perform a grand ceremony for Empress Pei, and then rescued his two guards who had died in vain, and then brought the guards Corpse, return to the palace.

Back at the palace, he went to see Song Huiyue first.

He intended to just look at the door, but when he raised his leg up the steps, he almost stepped on Yin Xiao, who was lying neatly like a funeral.

When he looked down, Yin Xiao was taken aback again—this kid was looking at him with his eyes open, motionless, looking like he was dying.

The dying Yin Xiao blinked his eyes, but still didn't move.

He knew that King Jin was not in danger, so there was no need to move, and King Jin also knew that Song Huiyue was safe with him, so he didn't move forward and retreated directly.

He strode toward the study again.

Xie's father and son were already waiting in the study, and Du Lan was squatting on the porch, also waiting to run errands.

Jin Wang first arranged for Huang Ting to prepare four bowls of noodles and some side dishes, and then cooked a pot of mutton to prevent everyone from working hungry, and then asked Huang Ting to tell the kitchen staff to make fish and rice dumplings for Song Huiyue in the morning, and then went to buy Some fresh fruits such as red bayberry came back and sent to Song Huiyue early, leaving her to sit for a while.

Song Huiyue came whenever she said she would come, and left when she said she wanted to. She seldom came and left more often, so she couldn't keep him.

After the order, he asked Xie Zhou to take care of the families of the two guards.

Xie Zhou nodded in agreement.

The King of Jin said to Xie Chuan again: "You write a letter about tonight's events, starting from Concubine Zhang's violation of etiquette at the Tianning Festival Palace Banquet, to the time when the imperial guards caught thieves for the Zhang family and killed the two guards of the palace. No need to add oil and vinegar, just tell the truth and send it to Yushitai."
