Chapter 51 Should we buy some lucky charms?

Emperor Jingyuan touched his little daughter's soft hair and remained silent for a while.

It's too mysterious.

The youngest daughter gave away a piece of black iron, which happened to save Zhao Jinyuan's life.

If it weren't for the piece of black iron, Zhao Jinyuan would probably have been a corpse by now.

"Daddy, what's the matter?"

Emperor Jingyuan's expression was too gloomy, and Xihe held his hand with some concern.

Emperor Jingyuan quickly put away the sinister look on his face and squeezed his little daughter's white and tender hand. "Daddy is fine. Daddy was just thinking, how lucky I am that God gave me this treasure."

The little girl smiled brightly, "Daddy is so great! He must have moved the heavens to have such a cute baby like me."

Xihe is very narcissistic, and acts silly when speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Jingyuan smiled and pinched his little daughter's round cheek, then turned around and asked, "Where are those thieves? Have they been caught?"

Sanping said: "Your Majesty, we have captured three alive, all of them are assassins, the rest either escaped or committed suicide by taking poison."

Emperor Jingyuan sneered, "You gave me such a big gift on the first day of the new year. How can I treat you badly?"

Then he ordered: "Sanping, these three people do not need to be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. You take the people to interrogate them personally."

Sanping was a eunuch in the imperial court, in charge of the Imperial Household Department. In his early years, he followed Emperor Jingyuan in his campaigns and had some skills in interrogating people.

"I understand. I'll do it right away." Sanping's mind turned over and over again, but he came to his senses in an instant.

It seems that Your Majesty suspects that someone in the previous dynasty is going to get involved in party struggles.

When Emperor Jingyuan carried Xihe to Jingyuan Palace, Concubine Chen and the eldest prince had already arrived for quite some time.

"Your Majesty (father) is greeted by your humble servant."

Emperor Jingyuan responded calmly, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Father)."

Xihe jumped out of Emperor Jingyuan's arms and rushed towards Zhao Jinyuan who was sitting beside the bed, "Second brother, does it still hurt?"

The little girl looked at the red patch, her eyes full of worry.

Zhao Jinyuan felt warm in his heart, "Don't worry, my brother is fine. I can go to the courtyard and practice a set of swordsmanship for you now."

The little girl waved her hands quickly, stuttering in her anxiety, "No, no, no, stop practicing. Second brother, you should have a good rest. You scared me to death."

The little girl pouted and sat down on Zhao Jinyuan's thick shoulders, with a tone of relief that she had survived a disaster, "Second brother, I'm glad you're okay."

Zhao Jinyuan's eyes were moist. He touched his sister's hair and held the broken amulet tightly in his other hand. "With the little baby here, the second brother will be fine."

Xihe seemed to have become the lucky star for them mother and son.

The Wuxuzi that was given away unexpectedly, and the black iron that was placed in the amulet.

They all saved their lives by accident.

"Yes! Don't worry, Second Brother, Xihe will protect you!" The little girl patted her chest and vowed.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Emperor Jingyuan straightened his expression and asked, "Jinyuan, do you know who attacked you today?"

Zhao Jinyuan shook his head. "They all covered their faces with black scarves, so I couldn't see their faces clearly, but..."

"Just what?" asked Emperor Jingyuan.

The Second Prince thought of the leader at that time and hesitated, "It's just that the leader seems familiar to me, but I can't remember who it is?"

Emperor Jingyuan frowned and glanced at Zhao Chengning who was standing silently beside him. Zhao Jinyuan, who was caught by surprise, broke out in a cold sweat.

He was the second in line, and the assassination of a prince would inevitably make people think of party struggles.

After all, the eldest prince Zhao Chengning has been too popular recently.

Zhao Jinyuan was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

If this incident causes the emperor to suspect his elder brother, he would truly deserve to die.

Zhao Jinyuan wanted to explain, but he was unsure of Emperor Jingyuan's thoughts and hesitated.

"Dad, should we go buy some lucky charms?" Xihe suddenly said.

Emperor Jingyuan's thoughts were suddenly distracted, and he looked at his little daughter with amusement, "Why did you suddenly think of buying these things?"

According to Emperor Jingyuan, Xihe himself is the best luck, so there is no need for a lucky charm.

The little girl showed a distressed look on her face, "Daddy, look, our luck has been really bad recently. At first, someone called me a disaster star, and then Xihe's food was poisoned. Daddy caught me and punished me with copying when I went to Chunfeng Tower with my sister and my third brother. When we went to the National Academy to play, we scared the horses and were bullied again. Today, my second brother almost got hurt. Oh, my luck is really bad. It's better to buy some lucky charms."

The little girl spoke a lot without realizing it, but Emperor Jingyuan understood something and his expression changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered the fake Xu family jade order in the hand of the thief in the last horse-scaring incident.

The third brother only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and the fifth brother is physically disabled, so neither of them can inherit the throne.

The only two princes are of similar age. If something happens to Zhao Jinyuan, the first beneficiary will obviously be the eldest prince Zhao Chengning.

Although this move is dangerous, the chance of winning is high.

Emperor Jingyuan had just been tricked and suspected Zhao Chengning.

What a trap, he fell into it.

Such speculation made Emperor Jingyuan furious.

Zhao Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Xihe tighter.

Concubine Chen and Concubine Xian looked at each other and saw understanding in each other's eyes.

It was so stupid that he actually set his sights on them, not realizing that they would never suspect each other.

The only person in the entire Jingyuan Palace who would be suspicious was Emperor Jingyuan.

Zhao Chengning leaned aside with an unclear expression, and when he lowered his head, he met Zhao Jinyuan's worried eyes.

Zhao Chengning was stunned. He had never seen Jin Yuan so worried before. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth slightly and shaped his mouth, "It's okay. Don't worry. I don't doubt you."

There was a little more brilliance in Zhao Jinyuan's eyes. When he met Zhao Chengning's smiling eyes, he avoided them unnaturally, feeling very awkward.

A barely perceptible chuckle came from his ear, and Zhao Jinyuan lowered his head even more.

So shameful.

Xihe came up curiously, "Second brother, what's wrong with your neck? Why is it a little red? Are you hurt?"

Zhao Jinyuan cleared his throat and said, "Nothing, you saw it wrong."

The blush on her neck was unusually obedient, disappearing in an instant. Xihe thought she was dazzled by the speed.

Although there were no physical injuries, Concubine Xian was still worried, so she kept Zhao Jinyuan in Jingyuan Palace for several days to recuperate. Only when the Spring Festival was almost over did she release him.

The National Academy would start school the day after tomorrow, so Xihe began to pack her books. After half a day, she felt a little tired.

Just when I was about to lie down and take a nap, after just a cup of tea, I heard the voices of Mu Yuan and Mu Hua from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's carriage has arrived at Nanwu Gate."

"So soon?" Concubine Chen frowned, "Today is only the fifth day of the first lunar month, isn't it the ninth day?"
