The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, not sure why he asked so for a moment, and said matter-of-factly: "It should be possible."

Although her initial plan was that she and Xiao Yi would sleep separately after they got married.

But who would have thought that things would suddenly develop in another direction and get out of control.

During this period of time, she and Xiao Yi had been sleeping in the same bed. It would be too pretentious to talk about sleeping separately now.

The little boy looked at her with bright eyes and said "oh".

Xu Jing pinched his soft little face in a funny way, "Chang Xiao, don't you want to sleep with daddy?"

Xiao Huaian shook his head, and after a moment, nodded again, half of his face hidden under the quilt, and he seemed a little shy and said: "I, I have never slept with Dad, so I don't know..."

Xiao Yi has always had the traditional thinking of an old father, the type who keeps love in his heart but cannot express it out loud.

He was often restrained and reserved in front of Xiao Huaian, and rarely even smiled. Such a man was indeed unlikely to do such a thing as sleeping with his son.

Xu Jing chuckled, "You can feel that long smile tonight."

The little one suddenly looked at her without blinking. Xu Jing couldn't help but touch her face and said, "Why do you look at grandma like that? But you are still worried that grandma is not true?"

"No!"

Thinking of his stupidity, the little boy was obviously a little embarrassed. He blinked and said, "Aniang, do you like my dad a little bit?"

Xu Jing was startled and looked at Xiao Huaian in front of her with some surprise.

Although she had known for a long time that this child was precocious, she didn't expect him to even notice this.

It's too sharp!

She coughed lightly and said, "How does Changxiao know?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Huaian felt a little happy and a little unhappy at the same time. He pouted and said: "Because, because I didn't want to talk about my father before, and I didn't like staying with him very much. Qingqing My sister said that if you like someone, you will definitely want to be with him all the time, just like Changxiao wants to be with my mother-in-law all the time."

Xu Jing: "..."

What did that girl Qingqing teach her to laugh at?

As Changxiao spoke, her little mouth pouted even more, "Actually, Dad has always liked Aniang. I definitely want Aniang to like him, but, but Aniang likes Changxiao, I'm sure You like Dad more than you do, right?"

Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this little kid was being jealous of his old father by making a fuss for a long time.

She put down the hand that was supporting her head, took the child in front of her into her arms, and said solemnly: "Of course."

Only then did the little boy smile with satisfaction.

That night, Xiao Huaian kept pestering Xu Jing and talked for a long time. When he finally went to sleep, his little mouth was curled up.

Xu Jing looked down at Xiao Huaian, who was sleeping soundly, and smiled unconsciously. However, when she looked out the window at the night, the smile on her face couldn't help but fade.

It's almost midnight (eleven o'clock in the evening), why hasn't Xiao Yi come back yet?

But what happened?

She felt a little uneasy and couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up quietly, leaned on a soft pillow, took out a half-read travel journal and continued reading.

It wasn't until about half an hour that there was a sound of footsteps outside. Xu Jing's heart moved slightly, she put down the book in her hand, and turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

When the footsteps came to the door, they suddenly stopped, and then Chunyang's specially lowered voice sounded.

Xu Jing couldn't hear clearly what she said, but she probably said something about the little one sleeping here tonight.

After that, the footsteps outside turned around and went to the bathroom nearby.

Xu Jing was worried that if she got out of bed, she would wake up the children next to her, so she didn't move. She just sat quietly on the bed, waiting for the man to come in.

About a quarter of an hour later, the door was finally pushed open gently. A man who had simply taken a shower and put on loose moon-white home clothes walked in. He walked straight to the bed and looked down at the innocent sleeping man. The little one couldn't help but laugh. Xu Jing raised her eyes and looked at him, and saw that although there was a smile on his face, there was a solemn look on his eyebrows that could not be erased. She frowned slightly and said softly: "But what happened?"

Xiao Yi slowly shifted his gaze to Xu Jing, raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, and lowered his voice and said: "Li Yuan is dead."

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, "How could it be? Didn't you take him into the palace?"

"Correct."

Xiao Yi secretly sighed, "He died suddenly just after he passed the palace gate. After examination, the palace doctor said that he died of poisoning. I am afraid that he was poisoned and must be regularly Take the antidote."

Although Li Yuan has been reluctant to speak, he is the only person they have who knows who the real mastermind is.

His death means that the clues they have are interrupted.

We can only be patient and slowly investigate the four families of Xiao, Zhao, Jiang and Wang.

Xu Jing pursed her lips slightly, "No wonder the enemy's offensive has not been too fierce along the way. I'm afraid they had expected that Li Yuan would die soon. Those who attacked us along the way probably wanted to take the opportunity to take away or kill them." Li Yuan is second, mainly because he wants to test our attitude and see how many secrets Li Yuan has leaked to us."

If Li Yuan had already cooperated with them to tell everything, it could be seen from their attitude towards Li Yuan and Li Yuan's state.

As long as the enemy sees Li Yuan's desperate look, he can basically guess that they haven't been able to pry Li Yuan's mouth open.

"Yes, I don't know what kind of poison they gave Li Yuan. Even you didn't know that he took the poison."

Xiao Yi sighed secretly, turned off the lights in the room, got on the bed lightly, lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down in it.

Immediately, he leaned sideways, held his head with one hand, and looked at the little one sleeping between them through the clear moonlight streaming in through the window. He suddenly smiled softly and said, "This is the first time I sleep with this child."

This feeling is indescribably fresh.

Xu Jing also turned sideways and looked at him, and whispered: "Changxiao said the same thing just now. He originally wanted to wait for you to come back before going to sleep, but maybe he was too excited today and couldn't sleep through most of the night. Asleep."

Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and gently stroked Changxiao's soft forehead, "We have indeed been away for too long this time..."

After a pause, he reached out, shook Xu Jing's hand across the child, and said, "No matter what, I will protect you and Changxiao Zhouquan."

The two of them are his bottom line.

It was an existence that he would protect with all his might.

Xu Jing couldn't help but said with a smile: "It sounds like something big is about to happen. I believe you and the Holy One will not let things develop in the worst direction. Besides, I said, I will also help you." of."

Xiao Yi just silently tightened his hold on her hand.

It would be too heavy to talk about these topics before going to bed.

Xu Jing changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, there is something I have always been curious about. Why did you give Changxiao such a nickname?"

Xiao Yi looked at her and said warmly: "When he first came to me, he didn't laugh like the other children, and he often avoided me, as if I was some kind of... savage beast. I thought, give him this little Name, can he smile more?"

Xu Jing suddenly realized, "I see, then how much did he smile behind him?"

Xiao Yi raised his lips helplessly, "It's true that he smiled a little more, but it wasn't until I arrived in Anping County that I realized that this child could still smile so brightly."

That night, the two of them were like the most ordinary couple in the world, guarding their sweetly sleeping child and whispering for a long time.

What they didn't notice was that the corners of the child sleeping between them unconsciously turned up higher and higher, as if the candied haws they ate in the afternoon were sweet until they fell asleep.

The next day, Xu Jing was woken up by Chunyang.

Xu Jing just woke up in a daze when she heard Chunyang say in a deep voice: "Madam, someone from the Xijing government office has come, saying... a major case happened early this morning. I hope Madam can go over and help."
