Chapter 62

Today, it was delayed for some time before returning to Beijing by way.

As Xiao Yi's return to Beijing approached, Siqing was really busy for a few days.On the day he returned to Beijing, there were many etiquettes, and he met with the ministers who stayed in Beijing, and when he returned to Ninghua Hall at night, the pavilion was already pitch black.

Xiao Yi took a few steps tentatively, and suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around his neck.He and Siqing looked at each other silently for a moment, and Siqing suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Yi patted her shoulder with a smile, and said softly: "I'm back, you can cry, if you have any grievances, cry out."

Siqing suddenly stopped crying after hearing this, "What wronged me? I'm not wronged, and you cried because of me? Why didn't you reply? Why did you come back now?"

Xiao Yi took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, "Seeing that my eyes are swollen tomorrow, I can't see people."

"Don't change the subject," Siqing said, "tell the truth."

Xiao Yi said softly: "I feel someone is staring at me."

"Find out?" Siqing asked quickly.

Xiao Yi shook his head.

Siqing said: "Han Shoushen has caught it, and we will examine it tomorrow."

Xiao Yi said: "Okay, I also want to know the whereabouts of Xianju. Why did you faint before? Are you all right now?"

"It's just pretending," Siqing said, "I just... tested it, and then the little lady reacted very quickly. We dug a hole for Duan Wang, and he jumped."

"You shouldn't put yourself in danger." Xiao Yi said seriously.

"Aren't I okay?" Si Qing said, "Besides, no matter how wrong Prince Duan is, even though Old Eleven is not his own, he is really kind to Old Eleven. Old Eleven is innocent."

Xiao Yi knew that she thought of his father Ye Xiufeng's actions again, so he asked, "Have you gone to see that Mr. Fu? Is he okay?"

"I went there in a hurry, he's fine," Siqing said, "I suspect he was caught so easily, someone threatened him."

Xiao Yi said: "What are you threatening him with? You, or your brother?"

"I'm not very likely. Uncle Fu really doesn't know my background," Siqing said. "I suspect that my brother has something wrong. He doesn't know. To be honest, I still don't know why he followed Uncle Fu when he was young." ? Why is Uncle Fu so secretive about the Gu family? So I want to discuss with you and check the Xie family in Xiangyang, this is also for the benefit of your sixth sister."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "You just go and do it. I heard Mrs. Yuanxi is back too?"

Siqing said: "She was arrested by the king of Anping County, and then Yang Wanquan found out, and I went to pick her up. Don't worry, this matter has not been made public, and few people know about it. She found out He Shouzhi who lied to the king of Anping County. The evidence of Shen Yuanxi's stumbling block, now she is going to pick up Yuanxi back to Beijing. Oh, by the way, I heard that Yuanxi was seriously injured, so my brother also went with sister Jiang's family."

Xiao Yi said: "Fortunately, Yuanxi is fine! What a blessing! When Yuanxi returns to Beijing, the debt will be settled one by one."

Siqing said, "Go see Han Shoushen first tomorrow."

Xiao Yi said: "I'm afraid I will see Han Shoushen tomorrow, and I will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow."

"why?"

"Chenzhou is lost again. I transferred the garrison from the northern border, and now I am stationed at the north entrance of Zhili, in case of emergency. I want to go back to the imperial capital to settle down, see you, and then go to the north entrance for a military parade."

Siqing said: "That's fine, it's not far away, if there's something urgent, I'll be back in two days."

Xiao Yi said: "It is estimated that when Yuanxi comes back, I am still at Beikou. You go and see him first."

"I'm going?" Siqing said, "I can't go! After Uncle Fu's accident, I went to see Uncle Wu and my brother twice in private. After Uncle Fu was fine, I went in and out of the prison with sister Jiang's family. I had a chance to go out once. Now I am afraid of being targeted, and you are not in Beijing, who will cover me? I had an argument with Duan Wang, and many people in the court are staring at me. You still want me to see Shen Yuanxi? "

"Don't worry, don't worry," Xiao Yi said, "I told the little lady to let the little lady cover you. I thought, let's tell Yuanxi and his wife about the sixth sister. In case something happens, there should be someone to take care of you." .”

Siqing stretched out a hand and looked sideways at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Siqing said, "Upgrade the monthly rate!"

"what?"

"I'm doing the work of ten people by myself, and you still send me. It's not enough to hire a clean gentleman for this little exception. Who are you sending!"

Xiao Yi suddenly smiled, "I said, you are in charge of the house, you can raise the price however you want."

"You still know that I am in charge of the house," Siqing said, "then you go out, go out."

"It's midnight, where am I going?"

Siqing picked up Xiao Yi's sleeve, "You smell it yourself? You don't knock on the door before you come in. I finally smoked the incense, and now it smells like your sweat in the attic. Why don't you go wash up and change your clothes? "

It was rare for Siqing to sleep peacefully that day, and the sun was already high when he woke up the next day, Xiao Yi had already gone to deal with the recent backlog.

Siqing wore a floral blouse and sat upstairs in Zhanyun, drinking wine while reading "Selected Works".Recently, she has let Ling Zhen and Concubine Zhou Rong handle all the affairs of the inner court, she is just excused for illness, even Princess Duan came to visit and she is not willing to deal with it, she is happy to be alone.

Yunchu went up the stairs and said, "Please go over to Zhengqing Hall."

Siqing said helplessly, "I'm too lazy to change clothes, and I'm too lazy to move, so just say I have a headache, and let's talk about it later in the afternoon."

Yun Chu said: "I heard that Your Majesty took the time to meet the rebel head of Ding Fan, and now he comes back to see the foreign ministers one after another. I really have to take time off."

"Oh, that's it," Si Qing said, "Then I'll go there. By the way, is there any news from Lu Chu?"

Yun Chu shook his head.

Siqing changed into a woven gold skirt and went to meet Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi just finished seeing Li Yuanzhen, the book of war, saw Siqing smiled and said, "Are you here?" He waved his attendants back.

Siqing yawned, "I forgot to ask, why don't you see Lao Jiu?"

Xiao Yi said: "There are some steles and pavilions on the other side of the mountain that haven't been built yet. I came back in a hurry, and Lao Jiu is still overseeing the work."

Siqing nodded, and asked again: "What did the surname Han say?"

Xiao Yi frowned, "He committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Siqing was shocked. "He had many chances to commit suicide since he was caught, but he didn't choose to die. Why did he suddenly commit suicide now? Can I ask the whereabouts of Princess Xianju?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said: "I went to see him, but he suddenly bit his tongue and killed himself. Before he killed himself, he said a word. He said...there are people from them in the imperial capital, and the court should not try to find out who this person is."

Siqing was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "So before he lingered on his last breath, he just wanted to meet you and say this to you?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Si Qing said: "There is no evidence, it's useless to speculate, but you will fall into his tricks. I will let Lu Chu pay close attention to it, and you should be more careful when you go to Beikou for the military parade."

The two were talking when King Duan suddenly asked to see him.After hearing this, Siqing said: "I don't see him! I have no good intentions in saving Eleven, and I don't want him to accept my favor."

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "He may not accept your affection, I'm afraid he will suspect that the accident of the old eleven has something to do with you."

Siqing said "Let him do what he wants", then turned his head and was about to leave, Xiao Yi said again: "You don't see Princess Duan, and you don't see him, so it doesn't make people think you're guilty?"

Siqing had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I will listen to you and see you soon."

Xiao Yi ordered Duan Wang to come in.

Unexpectedly, before King Duan finished his salute, Si Qing took two steps towards the middle of the hall, then suddenly staggered and fell backwards.Xiao Yi hurriedly reached out to support her, seeing that her cheeks were flushed, she didn't seem to be pretending, and he didn't care about Duan Wang, so he repeatedly called for someone to go to the Imperial Medical Office to call for the doctor to come.Siqing was moved to the side hall, Xiao Yi hurried to feel her pulse, but Siqing grabbed his hand instead.

Xiao Yi asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you?"

Siqing beckoned him to come closer, and Xiao Yi leaned forward, but Siqing smiled and blew at him.

A strong smell of alcohol came straight to Xiao Yi's cheeks, Xiao Yi was stunned, "Have you been drinking?"

"I got up late in the morning, didn't eat much, and then drank a little too much." Siqing rubbed her forehead, "I'm a little dizzy, and I'm still a little dizzy now."

Xiao Yi tried her pulse, and said with a sigh of relief, "You scared me."

Siqing laughed and said, "Just now I felt dizzy from the alcohol, and accidentally stepped on my skirt. Who told you to make such a fuss."

Xiao Yi said: "How do I know that you drank too much? I saw you leaning back and thought you really passed out."

Siqing said: "You go and send King Duan away. I don't want to see the doctor. He won't be able to make up the disease in a while. It's a bit embarrassing. You should send him away."

"Okay," Xiao Yi was very helpless, "Then you lie down, and I'll ask someone to bring you some chicken tongue fragrance. We'll have lunch later, let's have a proper meal, don't drink cold wine."

Siqing said: "I see, you go quickly."

Xiao Yi returned to the imperial capital, and the court was a little more stable.Although Chenzhou was lost, Shen Jiangdong and Dingyuan General Sun Pingfu returned to Sichuan and Chongqing, and people felt a little more at ease.On the day Xiao Yi returned to Beijing, there were those who were gearing up to impeach Fan Ziran's dead body and the officials who were ready to attack Duan Wang Yuezu's replacement, but it was a pity that Xiao Yi left Beijing for a military parade in the rain the next day, and these people did not make trouble for the time being.

King Duan and other clan members wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yi's trip to Beijing to make a fuss, but they failed to kill a thousand enemies, and instead lost eight hundred. This time Xiao Yi left Beijing again, and they were very quiet.Fan Ziran, a scholar of the Jianji Temple, was anxious, worried that those who attended the vegetarian meal at his corpse would make a fuss, and he would not be safe at the end of the festival. Therefore, after Xiao Yi left the capital for the military parade, this "old man with paper paste" was quite willing to put his heart into practice.Both Siqing and Concubine Ding'an were "ill", and it was rare for the palace to be peaceful.

This day, Siqing was bored, so she went to Xiao Yi's study to look for books, and saw that there were a few pieces of raw rice paper on his desk that had not been put away, so she took it up and looked at it. Muddy, the green mountains are wet in the rain." Si Qing smiled and burned the papers for him.
