Your Majesty, don't spoil me too much, my daughter and I will discuss business with you

emperor's bedroom
Lian Lixi only lit one candle in front of her study couch, while Xiao Ruizi originally wanted to light more.

"Your Majesty, it's dark at night. I might add a few more lamps, but I might hurt your eyes."

"It's okay. Oil lamps are luxurious. Don't waste them. Otherwise, you won't be able to make ends meet, and the people will suffer."

Seeing this, the little kid stepped aside silently. He only heard the call from outside: The Queen is here!
Gu Ranzhi walked in with a food box. She was still dressed in purple today. The flickering lights added to the hazy beauty of the woman. Lian Lixi lost her mind for a moment.

Seeing the man's rare confusion, Gu Ranzhi thought to himself: Maybe he is missing that person through me again, and he doesn't know whether I should be happy or sad.

At this time, the woman also thought of that person's appearance, calm, composed, and a charming person.

"emperor?"

Gu Ranzhi deliberately raised his voice to make the absent-minded person return.

"The queen is here, sit down quickly, little brat, and add some more lights."

"Yes."

Gu Ranzhi opened the food box. It was made by her own hands. It was nothing else. It was just that there were few people in the harem now and all the principals were in the former dynasty. As the owner of the harem, she had a leisurely life. As a wife and a minister, she should pay more attention to it. The person in front of you.

"These are some pastries made by my concubine. I know that you often work until midnight. Although you are young, you still need to pay attention to your health."

"When my father was young, he would study late at night. Now that he is older, all kinds of hidden dangers have come to his door. You are the head of a country and must not neglect it."

"I've been boiling this ginseng for two days. Now is the most nourishing time. Drink some while it's hot!"

Lian Lixi looked respectfully at the chattering woman in front of her. They had gotten along quite well over the past year and treated each other with respect.

"It's only today that I found out that Gu Nu, who has always been aloof, actually has the same tone as my mother back then."

"Are you dissing me because I talk too much?"

Lian Lixi said she didn't, and drank the ginseng soup handed to her in one gulp. Is it just this taste?
"Here, who did you learn this soup from?"

"Do you feel familiar? This is the recipe that the Imperial Master gave to me before she left. She gave me a small notebook, which contains your preferences and taboos. Thanks to the other party's advice, I have been able to get along with His Majesty for the past year. So harmonious.”

Lian Lixi paused while taking the water from the soup spoon: "I see, you are quite honest."

"Spring is almost here, she will be back soon!" the man said melancholy.

Gu Ranzhi didn't say much. The two of them just stayed here in harmony, one enjoying the soup and the other waiting on the side.

interrogation chamber
A middle-aged man with a blurred face was tied to the iron frame, covered with whip marks.

Miao Qing looked at the woman in white wearing a veil. The woman's indifferent expression was incompatible with the blood in the entire secret room.

"Master, the director of this Jade Academy has received professional training. In the past six months, we have used all kinds of methods, but he has refused to say a word."

Ruozhi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. Miao Qing said nervously, "Master, this place is gloomy. You have a noble body, so you should not stay here any longer."

"It's okay!"

Ruozhi's exposed eyes were always looking at the steward of Jade Academy, who also provoked him in a tone of voice and spat at him.

Miao Qing stood in front of him, and then punched the opponent again, which hurt him.

"You bitch, you're not honest."

Ruozhi handed the handkerchief to Miao Qing for him to wipe, and then said calmly: "Since this useless lump of wood is a useless person, Miao Qing, you should know that your master is the last person I can keep. Kill him." Come on!"

Miao Qing calmly said: "Yes!"

The man looked disdainful at first, but when he saw that the master and servant were so serious, it was not like they were joking. He watched the woman in white turn around and leave the secret room. Those figures were already walking towards him with their blades raised.

"No, no, you can't do this to me, Imperial Master of Dacang, I say, I say!"

Ruozhi still walked straight without even looking at the other person. The man said urgently, "I have a list, a list of officials from Dacang participating!"

Ruozhi made no move and just stopped walking. Miao Qing understood clearly and motioned to those people to take back the knife.

Then Ruozhi gave Miao Qing a look, and Miao Qing nodded and watched the other party leave.

"Okay, please be more honest this time and let's talk about it."

The man shuddered and then came back to his senses: "This woman is so cruel, I thought she wouldn't dare to kill me!"

"Who gave you the confidence?" Miao Qing sneered.

The man smiled bitterly: "I have lived for many years and met many cruel women, but just now I was humiliated by you, the mistress of Dacang. I couldn't see a trace of scrutiny in her eyes, just ruthless Looking at it, that look is so scary!”

Miao Qing originally gave him a chance to speak because the other party mentioned Ruozhi, but time was tight and he didn't have time to listen to this Xia man's complaints here. "Don't talk nonsense, list!" The man hugged and examined.

"In the secret compartment of the earthen temple of the Jade School that was raided, there were officials of Dacang whom I only came into contact with. They took advantage of us, so the business of our Jade School has been very prosperous in Dacang in recent years, but I just He’s just the supervisor of one place, a higher-level person, I’m sorry I don’t know.”

Miao Qing followed the other party's words and found a list in the secret room of the temple, and hurriedly found Ruozhi.

Zhuyue saw the other party rushing in a hurry and hurriedly stopped him.

"We'll talk about it later. The master is finally in the mood to eat, so you can't let any bad things affect her eating."

Miao Qing took a bowl of water from the table and drank it in one gulp, only to hear from inside: "Come in!"

Ruozhi ate her meal slowly and glanced at Miao Qing: "Let's not talk about that for now. You've lost weight recently and you don't look good. Let's eat. Zhuyue will give him a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

The three of them were eating like this. Zhuyue said: "Master, please eat more. We will return to the capital soon. This time, we don't have to stay in these miserable places outside."

Miao Qing followed: "That's right, after returning to the Imperial Master's Mansion, if the master can cultivate himself well, the outside will never be as comfortable as at home."

Ruozhi watched as a man and a woman picked up half a mountain of vegetables for themselves, and said helplessly: "Your master, I am not that delicate, but you two are worried about me every day. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhuyue: "Master, whatever you said, you gave us, the orphans, a place to live. It is Zhuyue's heart's wish to be able to stay with the master and do things for you."

Miao Qing also wanted to say something, but he hesitated, his wet red eyes buried in his rice.

"Silly boy, you are born to be a human being, and you should be comfortable and complacent. The time has not come yet. In a few years, the Imperial Master's Palace will be secure and can protect you. You can pursue what you like to do."

Ruozhi touched Zhuyue's head.

"Master, I won't leave. At least my favorite thing now is to stay with you."

Miao Qing watched the two women clinging to each other. For some reason, he put the list in front of Ruozhi's eyes and left the room.

Zhuyue buried herself in Ruozhi's arms and sobbed softly. Ruozhi took the opportunity to look at the list, with unspeakable disgust in her eyes.

Soon, a little song came from the yard, and Zhuyue slowly let go of Ruozhi.

Miao Qing was blowing leaves from the yard, watching Ruozhi approaching, and then he stopped talking.

"master."

"What's wrong? You and I grew up together. Although we are master and servant in name, I have always regarded you as half of my brother. Is there anything I can't say?"

Miao Qing's face turned red: "I, I'm fine, I'm just wondering about the master who we didn't let go for so long. Why is the master so powerful, and he told us everything in a single scare."

When Ruozhi saw the other party talking about this, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "So you said this, how can your master and I be so charming? Yu Xuetang, didn't you hear some coincidence in the name?"

Miao Qing was puzzled, and Ruozhi explained: "It is said that the royal family of the Xia Kingdom has a secret guard named Yujiajun. The Yujiajun was secretly established by the first monarch of the Xia Kingdom and was trained by General Kaiguo Yucheng. Its members are scattered all over the country. He is the eagle eye of the Xia royal family."

"The Jade Academy has been able to develop like this in just a few decades. I think it has something to do with the Yu Family Army. Our people in the Xia Kingdom introduced me to an unpopular royal prince. He has always loved painting and has a photographic memory. Because I saw the military talisman of the Yu family army when I was a child, I sent this picture as a certificate of submission."

Miao Qing continued: "So Master, you were wearing that military talisman just now, and you deliberately let that person see it, and he..., this old guy, lied to me."

Ruozhi patted the other party and said, "It's okay. In the future, we can't just do things with passion. Sometimes we have to grasp the essence of things. In fact, I was also doubtful at the beginning. After all, it's such a long time ago and this kind of thing can't be said. I didn’t expect that I would actually meet your master.”

Miao Qing heard Ruozhi explain to him again how he was preparing to return to Beijing, but he had a question in his mind.

He looked at Ruozhi's leaving figure and felt something in his heart: "You have never mentioned this matter to me, not just this time. In the past, I thought I was your closest person, no matter in what capacity you accompany me." I can participate in everything around you, but it turns out that you are not completely responsible to me."

Memories
The supervisor in the secret room faced Miao Qing.

"My lord, I see you have a kind face, you don't look like someone from Dacang!"

Miao Qing was shaken, and sent the rest of the people away, leaving only the supervisor, and then looked at that person in disbelief.

"You guys, don't talk nonsense. I grew up in Dacang. How can I be from Xia country?"

The supervisor had shrewd eyes: "Sir, look at whether the thumbs of your hands and feet are longer than your index fingers. Mine is too."

As he said this, Miao Qing carefully looked at the man's hands and feet, and found that they were really the same as his own.

"How about that?"

"This is a method of tying children that is unique to our Xia Kingdom, and it is the binding method of the Xia Kingdom's royal family. The child's four little fingers must be wrapped with bandages all year round, and only the big finger should be exposed until the child is three years old."

"Oh, it's just a coincidence."

"What a coincidence. Your willingness to listen to my words has proven that you have already doubted your life experience. You have long heard that the Imperial Master's Mansion adopts orphans from various countries in the mainland for training all year round. But why does the Empress The teacher will always keep you by her side. I can tell just now by just looking at it. As she said, she will not keep a useless person. My dear, besides the mystery of your life experience, what else do you think you can let her know? Pictured?"

Memories end
Yes, there are many children with extraordinary talents among the secret guards. Some are born not afraid of poisons and test poisons for her and practice poisons; some are born with great strength and practice martial arts to protect her; some are born with agility and intelligence. Flexible and planned for her.And he, an extremely ordinary person, was chosen by her from that group of children. He had his own room, his own wardrobe, and even gave himself a lot of power. Once upon a time, he thought..., that's all, as long as she didn't say anything. , then he can be her shadow for life, just like the name she gave herself, he is Miao Qing, and he can only be Miao Qing.
