Silly couple dote on their wives

Chapter 550 extraordinary times
"No movement?" How could it be possible!Ximen Yue looked at the little maid next to her in surprise, how could that person be so protective of Meng Ruoqing that she didn't move at all?

"Meng Ruoqing came out of the imperial study room and was escorted by Cheng Gang all the way to the outside of the imperial palace. After that, there was no fat movement in the imperial study room." The little maid told Jing Huangfei what she had seen.

Hearing the little palace maid's words, Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief just now. She leaned on the imperial concubine chair and let out a long sigh of relief, as long as there is no movement!
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Seeing Concubine Jing slumped on the imperial concubine chair like a dead person, the little maid at the side panicked, she rushed forward to support Concubine Jing, and asked.

"No problem." Ximen Yue waved his hand and told the little maid to step back. The moment the little maid exited the door, the candlelight in the hall was blown out by a gust of wind. Ximen Yue just sat in the darkness, her eyes glowing. Show a trace of cruelty.

If the little palace maid looked at her with such an expression, she might be frightened, but unfortunately, there was no one beside Ximen Yue at this time.

As soon as Meng Ruoqing returned home, Uncle Zhong greeted him: "Madam, you are finally back. If you don't come back again, the slaves will have to go to the palace to ask for someone."

"Uncle Zhong, it's not that exaggerated!" Seeing Uncle Zhong's nervous expression, Meng Ruoqing couldn't help laughing, she stepped into the general's mansion, and the two little buns in the mansion ran out, and they hugged each other. Meng Ruoqing felt aggrieved, "Mother, why did you come back?"

"What's the matter? Do you miss your mother?" Meng Ruoqing hugged each other and asked with a smile.

The two children shook their heads and looked into Meng Ruoqing's eyes, but there was still a little bit of starlight: "Mother, are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?"

"I'm really hungry." After being told by the two children holding her neck, Meng Ruoqing was really hungry. She turned around, looked at Uncle Zhong, and said, "Uncle Zhong, go to the kitchen to make some food." Come get something to eat."

"Yes, I'm going right now, old slave." Uncle Zhong stopped in his tracks, answered, and turned to go to the kitchen.

Meng Ruoqing was about to walk into the yard with her two children in her arms when someone knocked on the door of the General's Mansion. Meng Ruoqing frowned. Who else would come to the door in the middle of the night during the Chinese New Year?
Uncle Zhong poked his head out from the kitchen, took a look at Meng Ruoqing, and only after getting Meng Ruoqing's consent, he opened the door: "Who is it, it's midnight, are you still allowed to sleep?"

"Is it Uncle Zhong? I'm Ji Ruoxuan, please open the door, I have something very important to discuss with Ruoqing." Ji Ruoxuan hurriedly said when he heard Uncle Zhong's voice outside the door.

Hearing it was Ji Ruoxuan's voice, Uncle Zhong moved faster, he opened the door and welcomed Ji Ruoxuan into the room: "Master Ji, it's so late, why are you here?"

"Is Ruoqing here?" Ji Ruoxuan came in from the door, asked Uncle Zhong while walking towards the general's mansion.

Meng Ruoqing obviously also saw Ji Ruoxuan, she looked at Ji Ruoxuan with some doubts, obviously also a little puzzled why he came to the door in the middle of the night: "Brother, you came in the middle of the night, but what's the matter?"

"Li Rong was beaten at the pier today." Ji Ruoxuan went into the room and sat down before talking to Meng Ruoqing.

Meng Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, dragons and snakes were mixed at the pier, Li Rong was impulsive and had no skills, so it was normal to be beaten, but why did my brother come to the door to say such a thing in person?Is something wrong?
Sure enough, before Meng Ruoqing could change her mind, Ji Ruoxuan spoke again: "I heard from Li Rong that he saw someone transporting a batch of gunpowder to Beijing, but it was not transported by an official ship."

"Not an official ship?" The news finally made Meng Ruoqing involuntarily frowned: "Someone wants to make fireworks privately?"

"It's fine if it's just to make fireworks for profit, but I'm afraid they have other purposes." Ji Ruoxuan looked at Meng Ruoqing and said very cautiously.

"If it's another purpose, who will they target?" Meng Ruoqing's first thought was Murong You, but it has been a long time since the chaos in the palace, and the rebels and thieves have been wiped out.

Later, Meng Ruoqing thought of herself again, but apart from the matter of the imperial merchant, she probably didn't offend others. Thinking of this, Meng Ruoqing's eyes narrowed: "Thank you brother for coming to remind me late at night, Ruoqing will definitely be very careful."

"It's good that you know what's in your mind. Because of the Huangshang business, my mother was very worried about you, and she even quarreled with my grandfather a few days ago." Hearing Meng Ruoqing's words, Ji Ruoxuan finally felt a little more at ease.

"My imperial business has nothing to do with my grandfather, why is mother arguing with my grandfather?" Meng Ruoqing froze for a moment, not understanding what her mother meant.

"Probably because my grandfather didn't prevent the imperial merchant from granting you an imperial merchant, so he is blaming my grandfather." Sometimes Ji Ruoxuan couldn't figure out what his mother was thinking.

"This matter really has nothing to do with my grandfather, but I am very strange. Since the Imperial Merchant let Ximen Yue marry into the palace as the adopted daughter of his grandfather, he must have decided to let the Ximen family take over the position of the Imperial Merchant. Why did he temporarily change his mind?" Meng Ruoqing raised her head, tapped her fingertips on the table, and asked.

Ji Ruoxuan was also very surprised, he frowned: "I don't know why, but my grandfather is probably also delusional now, but the matter has come to this point, he can't do anything."

"I see. It's getting late. Brother, go back earlier. As for what you said, Ruoqing will definitely be very careful." Meng Ruoqing nodded, not thinking of asking her grandfather about it again, but turned to Meng Jiruoxuan road.

"En, then I'll go first." Ji Ruoxuan nodded, stood up, and told Meng Ruoqing to be careful at all times before going out.

After Ji Ruoxuan left, Meng Ruoqing ate quietly with the children, and then said to Uncle Zhong who was waiting for Meng Ruoqing: "Uncle Zhong, tell the people below to be careful these days, if you find suspicious people, You can take it down no matter what.”

"Ma'am, isn't this bad!" Uncle Zhong felt bad after hearing what Meng Ruoqing said. Why is his wife becoming so violent when the general's mansion is not in the mansion?
"In extraordinary times, we should use extreme means! If they don't provoke us, we won't use these means." Meng Ruoqing wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Uncle Zhong.

Thinking of what Ji Ruoxuan said just now, Uncle Zhong didn't object anymore, and nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

Seeing Uncle Zhong nodded, Meng Ruoqing didn't say anything more, but said to the two children, "You two should go to bed."
