Is the emperor cremated today?

Xu Miaoyin took a long sleep. When she woke up, she saw Xiao Qi sitting cross-legged on the couch with his back to her. There were two piles of memorial books piled on the table in front of him, and some were scattered around him. At this time, he was holding I was flipping through the memorial book, but as soon as I opened it, I put it aside without commenting on a single word.

Just watching him deal with the memorial for a while, he turned to look at Xu Miaoyin as if out of habit, and saw that she had woken up and was looking at him. She was stunned for a moment, and her face softened visibly, with a smile on her face. , got off the bed and walked towards her.

Xiao Qi helped her sit up. Xu Miaoyin leaned on the bedside, glanced at the memorial he had thrown casually on the couch, and said, "If your Majesty is busy with government affairs, just go and handle it yourself. You don't need to keep an eye on me."

Xiao Qi sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand, saying, "It's almost done. It's rare to see you sleeping so deeply. I'll let them do whatever you want to eat today."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, she followed his intention and smiled and said: "I am indeed a little hungry."

When the two of them were alone, the waiters were waiting outside the palace. When Xiao Qi heard that she had an appetite today and took the initiative to say that she was hungry, he got up with a smile and went out to call someone to prepare the meal. Xu Miaoyin got out of bed when she saw him going out. When he came to the couch, he picked up the notebooks he had casually thrown aside and started to read them. Only after looking at them did he realize why he had casually thrown them aside.

The memorial was written by the Yushitai. Most of the memorials were based on Xiao Qi's massive search for her two months ago. He said that she had confused the emperor and was actually a demon concubine who was causing harm to the country. Your Majesty should accept the harem and give birth to an heir as soon as possible. The foundation of society.

Xu Miaoyin smiled and didn't take it to heart. Instead, she sorted out all the memorials and put them aside.

Xiao Qi walked in after giving instructions and saw her standing next to the couch sorting out the memorials. He guessed that she had read the memorials, so he walked lightly and came behind her, hugged her into his arms, and said as if to comfort her. : "Don't take what those pedantic old men say to heart."

Xu Miaoyin turned around in his arms and her eyes fell on the lapel of his clothes. There were not many decorations on the dark brocade uniforms, only golden auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on them. Then she raised her eyes and looked at that handsome face. In the past thirty years, the years have only made his face more majestic and calm than those in power, but his appearance has not changed at all. Such a young emperor is courageous and charming but she is the only one in the harem, which really makes people want to move.

She held his face and exhaled like a blue breath: "Your Majesty, this face is really a disaster for the country and the people!"

These words had a bit of teasing meaning, which made Xiao Qi's eyes flash with a smile, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he grabbed her jade hand that was holding her face, leaned over and said in her ear: "Then the imperial concubine, what are you going to do?" I'm better, don't neglect me anymore."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he gently took the tender white ear flesh in front of him and sucked it. When he found that her body was already soft in his arms, he let go of the sensitive and red ear flesh, and the corners of his mouth were even more proud. He tilted his head and held Xu Miaoyin in his arms, using his own body temperature to warm her.

Xu Miaoyin's eyes were filled with spring, and she leaned softly on Xiao Qi's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat.

When Yu Qiao heard that there was no sound in the inner hall, she said through the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the meal is ready."

Xiao Qi originally wanted to accompany Xu Miaoyin to have some food, but Zhu Weng came to report that Master Xiao Chen from the Ministry of Revenue had something to report, so Xiao Qi had no choice but to say goodbye to Xu Miaoyin apologetically and go to the Qinzheng Hall.

Xu Miaoyin looked at the carefully prepared dishes on the table. Although she had no appetite, she still picked up the chopsticks. Yushu and Yuqiao were waiting on the side. Yuqiao laid the dishes, and Yushu filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xu Miaoyin.

"Who is Master Xiao Chen?"

Yu Qiao smiled when she heard this and said: "My dear, who else can be called Mr. Xiao Chen in Hubu? The only one is your cousin!"

Xu Miaoyin laughed, but she had forgotten about him. She had not seen him for a long time since she had been in Beijing. She only heard Mr. Zhuang mention that he was sent by Xiao Qi to Jiangnan to investigate the salt affairs.

It's getting dark now, so it seems to be an urgent matter.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Chen Fengling, covered in dust, knelt in the hall and handed the evidence found over the past two months into Xiao Qi's hands.He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the person in front of the case. There was no expression between his brows and eyes, but there was a coldness in his eyes, which made Chen Fengling shudder slightly.

Xiao Qi read the evidence presented by Chen Fengling and snorted coldly, "You handled it well, so I'll do as you say. I've resisted touching him for the past three years, but he wants to commit suicide on his own, so don't blame me." No mercy, but when did he get involved with Duke Rongguo?"

Chen Fengling said sternly: "I'm afraid they had a connection five years ago. Your Majesty has trained many generals in the past two years, but he has always been in the garrison position of Yangzhou. He was also deliberately instigated by Duke Rong, so he naturally had second thoughts."

Xiao Qi thought for a while and asked, "Where is Qiao Zhi now?"

"Last month, Duke Rong Guo put him in the navy. It seemed that he wanted him to take up the garrison position in Yangzhou."

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Then let's help him and let the staff pick out a few suitable candidates. I want to see whether Qiao Zhi is suitable or one of my people is suitable."

Chen Fengling accepted the order with her hands raised.

After finishing the business, Xiao Qi glanced at Chen Fenglin who was hanging his head in the palace and said: "You have had a hard time on this trip. I will allow you three days off to spend time with your wife at home."

Chen Fenglin raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi in disbelief.

This is the first time that you will actually give him a holiday?You must know that in the past, he would be asked to report the details of this investigation one by one overnight. He was prepared that he would not be able to hold Meijiao Niang today and would have to stay in the study all night, but now he was asked to give it to him Have a holiday.

Chen Fengling was a little flattered.

Looking at his expression, Xiao Qi knew that he must be worried about him, so he lowered his eyes and said, "If you..."

Chen Fengling didn't give him a chance to speak. She quickly knelt on the ground to thank him and called out: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will leave."

After saying that, he turned around and exited Qinzheng Hall, moving so quickly that he was afraid that Xiao Qi would regret it.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, looked down at the evidence presented by Chen Fengling, his eyes darkened.

The defense of Yangzhou is related to the coastal defense, but Qiao Zhi was put into the navy by Duke Rong. What on earth did he want to do?
Also, he secretly returned to Yujing, but he stopped Xu Miaoyin's carriage in the street, but he just humiliated her and did nothing.

His uncle is becoming increasingly incomprehensible!

At this time, Zhu Weng came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Rongguo wants to see you."

Xiao Qi had expected that he would come, but he did not expect that it would be at this time. In fact, he knew that he had come back secretly as early as the day when Duke Rong Guo returned to Beijing. He remained calm and just wanted to know what he wanted to do when he came back secretly. Before he could tell Xu Miaoyin the news, Taifu Wang died of illness. Only now did Rong Guogong come to see him, which seemed a bit confident.

Xiao Qi nodded, and Zhu Weng left to invite people. After a while, footsteps sounded in the palace, and Xiao Qi then raised his head and looked at Rong Guo Gong Fang Zhiyuan, whom he had not seen for five years.
