Chapter 136

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Xiao Jinxi and Xiao Jinxuan had just returned to the imperial capital at noon, and had finished lunch with Mrs. Xiao, at this moment Xiao Jinxi was returning to Jinxiu Pavilion.

Xiao Jinxi, who was sitting on the pear flower couch, looked at Mo Yi's letter in his hand, writing about the implementation of Yunzhou's post-disaster appeasement strategy, and just smiled with relief...

After a while, Xiao Jinxi's eyes flashed with hostility, and he said, "An Xue, seven days later, Dugu Yan will arrive at the imperial capital with everyone in the harem, and make arrangements according to the previous instructions."

"Yes, Miss." An Xue bowed and replied.

Only to hear Xiao Jinxi say again: "Besides, I have already told my grandmother just now that I will have dinner alone with my grandmother at Jinxiu Pavilion tonight. You can arrange it."

"Yes, Miss, An Xue will make arrangements." An Xue replied, bowed and retreated.

Only Xiao Jinxi called out again: "Wei Mo."

Wei Mo appeared in Nuan Pavilion, handed over the colorful rope in his hand, bowed and said: "Master, I found this in a wooden box in Madam Zhao's closet."

Xiao Jinxi looked at it and took it in doubt: "Five-color rope?"

Wei Mo continued to say: "Master, there is a wooden box in Madam Zhao's closet, and there are many colorful ropes in it, and some of the colors of those colorful ropes have degraded."

"It looks like they are of different ages. My subordinates counted them, and there are a total of forty."

When Xiao Jinxi heard the words, there was doubt in his eyes, and he murmured: "Every Dragon Boat Festival, the adults will put colorful ropes on the children to ward off evil spirits and disasters."

"Forty, the man called her mother, so this is prepared by Zhao Momo for him."

"If that man is indeed Zhao Nanny's son, why didn't Zhao Nanny give him the colorful rope, but put it in a wooden box like this?"

After a while, Fang asked again: "What else?"

"No more, master. We followed the master's instructions and kept a close watch, and there was Xiaogu in places we couldn't go to, but we didn't find anything unusual." Wei Mo replied.

After a while, Xiao Jinxi said again: "Forget it, let's talk about it after I talk to my grandmother tonight, Wei Mo, let Xia Han continue to watch over there, so you don't have to go."

"Grandmother has already promised Xiaogu to stay in Fu'an Hall, so let her stay."

"Yes, master, this subordinate knows." Wei Mo bowed back.

Xiao Jinxi continued: "Wei Mo, Dugu Yan will arrive in the imperial capital in seven days, and you should be ready."

"Yes, master, this subordinate understands." Wei Mo bowed back.

Only Xiao Jinxi continued to ask: "When will Liu Quan start?"

Wei Mo replied again after hearing the words: "Master, Yunshang said that the medicine can be prepared in two days, and it can start as soon as the medicine is prepared."

I saw a flash of hostility in Xiao Jinxi's eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Okay, let's wait and see what he will spit out!"

At this moment, An Xue came in again, bowed and said back: "Miss, this is the portrait of that man that Chu Yi just brought over and said it was passed on by Yunshang."

"However, I heard that because many years have passed, Xiao He only remembers the general appearance, and this portrait may only be half-like."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi took the portrait, and after a while, Fang said: "Let's put the portrait aside, there's nothing to see right now. Go get busy first."

When the two heard the words, Fang bowed and retreated.

Xiao Jinxi turned her head to stare at the chessboard on the pear flower couch, and the scene at noon was lingering in her mind, and Nanny Zhao took care of everything about her grandmother carefully.

At this moment, my eyes are full of doubts... Am I thinking too much?Nanny Zhao, you and your grandmother have supported each other so far, are you really going to be detrimental to your grandmother?It's still Jin Xi who was wrong, after all, Wei Mo hasn't seen any unfavorable actions from you since he came back.

The Imperial Study Room of the Apocalypse Palace.

I saw Li Yue and Eunuch Li bowed back and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao has returned to the Marquis of Wu'an in the afternoon."

Emperor Ming Xi, who was bowing his head to review the memorial, replied after hearing the words: "Understood."

After a while, An Yi appeared in the imperial study room, bowed and said: "Your Majesty."

Li Yue retreated quietly after seeing it, and closed the palace door behind him.

"How?" At this moment, Emperor Mingxi raised his head and asked.

An Yi handed over a brochure, bowed and said back: "Your Majesty, this time, the situation of food adjustment in several prefectures near Yunzhou is here."

Emperor Mingxi took the brochure after hearing the words, but secretly bowed and retreated.

I saw Emperor Mingxi staring at the contents recorded in the booklet for a moment, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "If it wasn't for this time that Yunzhou broke the embankment, I wouldn't know that you have so much food in storage!"

For a moment, a line of words came into view, and Emperor Mingxi's eyes froze for a moment... Heh, Duguzi said, you actually have a granary in Yangzhou. , you are amazing!

"Rong's family, a grain merchant in Yangzhou?" A line of words caught the eyes of Emperor Ming Xi again, and Emperor Ming Xi murmured: "A grain merchant has produced so much grain!"

I saw Emperor Ming Xi drawing a pen in the booklet, and after a while, Fang called again: "An Yi."

After a while, An Yi appeared in the hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming Xi handed the brochure to An Yi, and said again: "Immediately arrange for someone to check the houses outlined in the brochure."

"Yes, Your Majesty." An Yi took the brochure, bowed and replied before he was about to back down.

Emperor Ming Xi asked again: "Has Ying Yi come back?"

"No, Your Majesty, Ying Yi sent news the day before yesterday that the leader had not returned, so he had to wait there." An Yi bowed and replied.

Emperor Mingxi frowned when he heard the words... Where did he go at this time?

After a while, he asked again: "There is still no news from Black Hawk?"

"No, Your Majesty, I haven't received any news from the commander." An Yi replied again.

"Understood, step back." Emperor Ming Xi replied coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Fang bowed and retreated.

Emperor Ming Xi was left alone in the imperial study room, and he saw doubts in his eyes... Why did Black Eagle go to Dayue for so long, not only didn't come back, but also didn't have any news?

Night, Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

At the Nuan Pavilion dining table, Xiao Jinxi scooped up a bowl of soup and said again: "Grandma, please have another bowl of fish soup."

"Hey...well, come on, Xi'er, you should eat more fish too. Look at you, you lost weight again this trip to Yunzhou." Mrs. Xiao looked at her granddaughter distressedly.

Xiao Jinxi smiled sweetly, and replied: "Hey Grandmother, Xi'er knows."

"Grandma, I'm sorry to let you eat so late. The small kitchen in Jinxiu Pavilion hasn't been turned on for a long time, and the cooking speed here is also slow."

Mrs. Xiao smiled instantly when she heard the words: "Xi'er, grandma is not a fool. With Nanny Qin in your small kitchen, will you be slow in cooking?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled mischievously when she heard the words, and said, "Grandmother is wise, Xi'er can't fool you with anything."

"Ha...ha...you clever ghost." Mrs. Xiao smiled instantly.

After a while, he asked again: "Xi'er, the Eleventh Prince is about to open his residence, right?"

Xiao Jinxi replied after hearing the words: "Yes, grandma, Yunshang and the others are preparing."

"However, what happened in Yunzhou is vivid in my mind, so I won't arrange a banquet at this time. What Mo Yi meant, just hang up the sign and save worry, and don't have to deal with those irrelevant people."

"Well, that's right, that's good. If there are more people, there will be more disputes." Mrs. Xiao nodded.

After a while, Mrs. Xiao said again: "Okay, this meal is almost done. Xi'er, let's talk about it, tell grandma why Xiao Zhong suddenly arranged for Xiaogu to enter Fu'an Hall?"
