Chapter 493 You are a monster! (Two updates in one)

When everyone arrived, a table was set up in the room.

Each person had a cup of soup. Mrs. Xu touched the edge of the warm cup and said, "I know you are coming back today. The Taohe Zhai has been stewing it since noon. It will be brought here in the evening and left to warm on the stove."

Lin Yunyan opened it, and the golden soup was rich and fragrant.

"Nanny He's craftsmanship is so good." She praised.

Xu Jian took a spoon and took a bite. It was full of flavor.

The royal food in the palace is naturally delicious, but for him, after tasting the craftsmanship of the He family, the feeling of "going home" is truly profound and practical.

Mrs. Xu never used much of her dinner, but today she was so happy that she couldn't help but use half a bowl more.

Xu Jian did not leave in a hurry, but sat and talked with them about relevant matters.

He was willing to say it, and Mrs. Xu would definitely be happy to hear it. The style of Yumen was completely different from that of the capital, and she felt more knowledgeable just listening to it.

"I heard my father talk about it when I was very young," she lamented, "but it's a pity that I have never seen it with my own eyes."

Xu Jian took a sip of tea: "We defeated Xiliang and recovered several passes outside the pass. Yumen is now considered safe."

Hearing this, Liu Ping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her eyes and looked between Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian.

Unable to hold back, she asked: "Brother, do you have any plans?"

Since Xu Jian brought up this topic, he would not hide it: "I do have some ideas. I want to go out for a walk while I have some free time. Of course, I have to ask for the approval of the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Mrs. Xu suddenly realized, thought about it for a moment, and said: "This is good, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"We have to wait until after the New Year, when the spring is warmer." Lin Yunyan said with a smile.

Mrs. Xu agreed.

As the night fell, Mrs. Xu urged them to go back and rest.

Liu Ping sent her brother and sister-in-law out, then came back and asked Mrs. Xu: "Mom, can we go together?"

"Childish!" Mrs. Xu smiled and glared at her daughter, "The young couple went out and had sex with their family? If you don't think you are in the way, I won't get in the way."

Liu Ping laughed.

She said this on purpose, because she was afraid that her mother would say yes, but in her heart she was not so willing, but she was used to obeying.

But her mother's reaction told her the answer.

My mother was happy to see it work.

Mrs. Xu’s idea is not complicated at all.

When traveling far away, many people are a burden.

A'Ping hasn't announced her intention to leave the palace, and the mansion will not be empty without A-Jian and the princess.

Mrs. Xu has been "alone" for too long in the Duke Fu's mansion. Even at her age, she still doesn't like that feeling.

Of course, she could bear not to speak, but A Jian and the princess were both extremely attentive and sensitive people, and they would consider their actions for her.

If A-Ping got married, they would definitely bring her up and take her out together.

But the young couple were in high spirits, and it was inevitable that there would be inconveniences when she was followed by an elder.

Mrs. Xu will never get in the way.

Therefore, if you go out in the spring next year and play for a year or two, all the places are suitable.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Xu knows very well that neither A Jian nor the princess is a playful person.

Rather than saying that I want to go sightseeing, I say that I have to go.

Under such a forced situation, it is definitely not a good thing for a family of all ages to leave without any one left.

Mrs. Xu may not have grasped the truth so quickly, but she was born in a general family and was the daughter of the border guard commander Xu Mang. What she knew most clearly was that when the general with military power was away, there must be female relatives staying in the capital. In the middle, stay under the nose of the Holy Lord.

A Jian and the others left Beijing, and of course they were not in a "will be away" situation, but Mrs. Xu still wanted to stay to save A Jian some trouble.

In the past two years, Ah Jian has had enough things to do for Yumen and His Highness.

Mrs. Xu hoped that Xu Jian could take a rest, but Xu Jian got up again before dawn, dressed up and prepared to go to court.

In front of the palace gate, Xu Jian looked for Lin Yu and bowed respectfully.

There are many people and many eyes, and it is difficult for the husband and wife to talk about important matters.

Xu Jian said: "After going to court, I would like to go to the royal study room to meet the saint first, and then return to the uncle's mansion with the princess before noon."

"The old lady was thinking about it yesterday," Lin Yu patted Xu Jian's arm and said, "But business is more important."

When their father-in-law and son-in-law were talking, others did not shamelessly come forward to show their kindness to Xu Jian.

Only An Yibo, who was already familiar with and had good friendships, greeted him cheerfully and agreed to have two more bowls of wine during the Chinese New Year.

When he went to court, in the Jinluan Hall, just hearing the voice of the Holy Sage, the ministers knew that he was in a good mood today.

There is no one who can't help but throw cold water on it, and the emperor and his ministers can be considered happy at the court meeting.

After going to court, Dingbeihou went to the imperial study with Xu Jian.

Yesterday, the Holy Father said that the Marquis of Dingbei should rest for a few days and settle down the family situation, but the Marquis dared not to worry about it, so he still came today.

Xu Jian gave in to Marquis Dingbei first. After all, he had a lot of court affairs and family affairs here, and he had prepared some words that the Holy Emperor might not be too happy to hear. It was better not to make Marquis Dingbei also feel uneasy.

"Eunuch Cao," Xu Jian called, "The Holy Father said, if I want to see His Highness, I should mention it to your father-in-law."

Eunuch Cao knew this and looked around, asking Xu Jian to take a step to speak.

"The Zajia family and the Duke of Guo must tell each other from the bottom of their hearts that His Highness's condition is not very good. It is not necessary to meet him."

Xu Jian raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "After all, I have been a monarch for many years, and I am accompanying His Highness to observe the government..."

"The Duke of the State values ​​friendship," Eunuch Cao sighed. "In that case, just go and show your face. The Za family heard from Yuqing Palace that your Highness either slept or talked some nonsense all day long. He was really minded. I'm afraid I haven't been awake for more than an hour. His Highness suddenly woke up for a while, and the other party quickly reported it, but before His Majesty arrived at Yuqing Palace, His Highness was confused again, so..."

The words were not finished, but Xu Jian understood.

If the incident happened too many times, Yuqing Palace would not rush to report it. He was afraid that the Holy Emperor would complain, and he was also afraid that something would happen along the way.

After all, it is winter, not to mention the cold, and the ground is not easy to walk on, especially on snowy days, it is even more difficult to be careless.

If His Majesty gets hurt while in a hurry on the road, who will take responsibility?
Xu Jian thanked Eunuch Cao, and Eunuch Cao ordered a servant to lead Xu Jian over.

Yuqing Palace is still closed.

The palace maids who handle daily food and clothing are also very careful, carefully checking people and things before handing them over.

With Eunuch Cao's badge, Xu Jian went in smoothly, and was led to Li Shao by Eunuch Guo.

Li Shao was awake and sitting behind the big case. There was a study room above and several books stacked up.

Eunuch Gao was taking care of her. When he saw Xu Jian, he hurriedly said hello.

Li Shao didn't realize it at all. He opened a booklet, stared at it, and suddenly raised his hand and smashed it on the ground: "That's bullshit!"

Several copies have been thrown on the floor.

Xu Jian bent down and wanted to help pick it up.

Eunuch Gao quickly waved his hand quietly, walked to Xu Jian, and said in a low voice: "Wait until His Highness has finished throwing them away, and we will pick them up together later." Now that he had picked them up, he just folded them there and waited for Li Shao to continue throwing them away.

"I'll pick up the copy and take a look," Xu Jian said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't stab His Highness."

Eunuch Gao had no choice but to let him.

Xu Jian turned it over, with a pale expression on his brows.

If Lin Yunyan were here, she could see Xu Jian's hidden unhappiness and anger at a glance, but no one else could.

Therefore, Eunuch Gao only saw Duke Fuguo, who had no expression on his face. He commented on the empty booklet like His Highness, "It really doesn't make sense."

Eunuch Gao was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Duke Fu looking over, he thought for a while and explained: "His Highness had a bad temper when he was ill, and he clamored for reading the brochures. Where can you get them? I had to ask Eunuch Cao for instructions and get some blank brochures. You can Look, there is a small seal on the back, just to distinguish it and leave it to His Highness."

Xu Jian nodded slightly and asked: "Besides the blank book, what else have been arranged for His Highness?"

Eunuch Gao pointed to the side: "Your Highness, please hang up a map."

Xu Jian saw it.

This map is only distributed by the Chief Secretary of the state government and does not involve other information such as topography and landforms.

Eunuch Gao added: "Sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's a certain adult in the court. If His Highness tells me something, I just nod in agreement. If His Highness wants to lecture, then just listen..."

It's like singing.

Eunuch Gao was not used to it at first, but these days, everyone in Yuqing Palace can wear multiple hats.

Xu Jian said: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

"It's not bad," Eunuch Gao sighed, "His Highness just talks nonsense and doesn't care about anything else. He spends six or seven hours sleeping in a day..."

To put it bluntly, what they fear most is when His Highness is really awake.

That's what it looks like when the clouds are overcast, the face is dark and sullen, and trouble can arise anytime and anywhere.

It's better to just keep talking nonsense, point out the map, throw in a few booklets, curse people for a while, and that's it.

Xu Jian knew Li Shao's situation well.

He put the fold in his hand back in front of Li Shao: "Your Highness, the nonsense that was written before has been sent back. This is a rewritten one."

Li Shao said "Oh?", opened it, looked at it, and cursed again: "It's still the same, it's all bullshit!"

"Which gentleman is so shameless?" Xu Jian asked.

Li Shao snorted: "That old man An Yibo, I just drank a little too much and kept nagging, I will deal with him sooner or later!"

Xu Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Gao again: "Who else has your Highness scolded?"

Eunuch Gao laughed bitterly: "That's really a lot..."

"You scold me too?" Xu Jian asked again.

It doesn't matter if Eunuch Gao nods, it doesn't matter if he doesn't nod.

Xu Jian thought about it for a moment and said, "I want to say a few words to His Highness. It may not be pleasant to listen to. It's best for my father-in-law not to hear it."

Eunuch Gao's eyes shifted between Xu Jian and Li Shao.

He was not afraid that the Duke would jump up and hurt His Highness, but he was afraid that the Duke would really say some heart-wrenching words, which would cause trouble for him if he heard too much.

Simply, with a heartbeat, Mr. Gao said impartially: "I'll make you some tea."

Xu Jian moved a chair in front of the big case and sat down directly.

He had good ears, and after making sure that no one could hear his low voice, he spoke to Li Shao: "Your Highness, I have raided Uncle An Yi's mansion according to the order, and I am here to return my order."

Li Shao looked straight at Xu Jian: "Good copy!"

"Do you really think so?" Xu Jian asked him, "An Yibo made many military exploits in his early years. Now, just because he asks you to drink less, he will cause the trouble of confiscating your home."

"I am the prince! He doesn't see me as the prince in his eyes!" Li Shao shouted loudly, "If you can't distinguish the important from the important, don't blame me for not leaving a way out for you and Ning'an! People who are in wheelchairs are dishonest!"

Li Shao said and covered his head: "You are not injured. You are not killing enemies in Yumen, but you have to come back to the capital. Do you want me to do this or that every day? Are you annoyed?"

Xu Jian didn't answer these words anymore. He finally understood Li Shao's current situation.

Li Shao's mind is confused.

It was like he was in a dream, he was still the crown prince, criticizing the child like a prisoner, but he was still being scolded by An Yibo.

Obviously, when Li Shao was in charge of the country, An Yibo had already been wronged.

As for "annoying or not", it has nothing to do with the original one. It was the time when he tried his best to give Li Shao enough opportunities to correct Li Shao.

In other words, he may have been severely stimulated, and a lot of information that was not a line at all crowded into Li Shao's mind. They were mixed together and Li Shao couldn't distinguish them, so that they were confused and confused.

Li Shao shouted a few more words, and suddenly gradually calmed down, and a little light regained his chaotic eyes.

When he could see the situation around him clearly again, his face darkened and he asked in a cold voice: "Have you returned to Beijing?"

Xu Jian replied: "When I entered the capital yesterday, I heard that His Highness was ill and asked the Holy One to visit him later."

"Aren't you here to see a show?" Li Shao said angrily, "Is it fun to see me go crazy? Then let me tell you, when I went crazy, I ransacked Uncle Chengyi's house and your Duke Fuguo's house!"

Xu Jian's expression remained unchanged: "If you go crazy, you can ask the Holy Master to rest in Chengshou Palace."

Li Shao's eyes widened suddenly: How did Xu Jian know?

Is it impossible for anyone in this world to know about the messy things in his mind when he went crazy, things that he couldn't understand when he woke up?
But Xu Jian knows...

why?
"You are a monster!" Li Shao scolded. Apart from this, he could not find any other reason now. "You are harming me. A monster is harming me! That's why I am crazy! I want to tell my father, I want to tell Father!"

Li Shao's voice was loud.

Eunuch Guo stood by the palace door, staring at Eunuch Gao who was holding a tea tray.

Xu Jian ignored Li Shao, stood up and walked out, telling the two father-in-laws: "I really can't tell the difference between His Highness. He seems to be awake and calls me a 'monster' again."

"His Highness's situation is often inconsistent, and the younger ones are also confused," Eunuch Guo sighed, "I have no choice but to take whatever His Highness says. Anyway, he finished what he said one moment and doesn't remember the next."

After hearing this, Xu Jian pretended to sigh: "Then I'll just be a monster for a moment."

After coming out of Yuqing Palace, Xu Jian went back to the imperial study.

The cold wind blows on my face, it is cold, but my breath is refreshing.

Xu Jian thought that Li Shao was indeed crazy.

Li Shao doesn't have such a deep city, so it's not easy to pretend to be crazy. He can't pretend to this extent.

Furthermore, when Xu Jian mentioned "Chengshou Palace", Li Shao's reaction was shock and confusion, rather than guilt and fear.

Back outside the imperial study, Dingbei Hou had already left.

The Holy One motioned Xu Jian to sit down and said, "Went to see Shao'er? How is he today?"

"When we first entered, His Highness was reading the brochure, and it was written on it as 'bullshit'," Xu Jian said truthfully, "Later, he seemed to wake up and asked when he would return to the capital. Before he could say a few words, His Highness suddenly shouted loudly. Calling me a 'monster', I had no choice but to quit."

Your Majesty:…

Shao'er's madness made him heartbroken, but when Xu Jian said this, he suddenly couldn't even sigh.
