Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 165 The Grand Finale (1)
Seeing Song Qingtong's tone softened, Leng Junxie gradually relaxed. Maybe she just wanted to take back the military power.Picking up the chopsticks, he picked up a dumpling and put it in Song Qingtong's bowl.

Song Qingtong smiled, picked up the dumpling and took a bite, praising: "It's delicious! Try it too."

Leng Junxie couldn't help smiling, his stern face softened, he picked up the whole dumpling and put it in his mouth, staring at Song Qingtong with affectionate eyes, the atmosphere in the hall became warmer.

Hearing hasty footsteps outside the palace gate suddenly, hearing the sound was more than one person, Song Qingtong put down his chopsticks and looked towards the palace gate.

Shangguan Lianyue walked in first, followed by Chengguan, Zhanlu supported him, his foot seemed to be twisted, and the last person who walked in was Shui Jing, who was wearing Taoist clothes and elegant!

Seeing that Shui Jing and Cheng Guan had returned safely, Song Qingtong let go of her hanging heart, stood up and left the table, and asked Shangguan Lianyue, "What's going on?"

Shangguan Lianyue looked at Song Qingtong, and said briefly: "Wen Guijun and Chengliang met robbers on the way."

what!Song Qingtong was quite surprised when he heard the words. Qingfeng Temple is near the capital, and the road is full of official roads. Why are the robbers so courageous?Looking at Shui Jing who came closer, the Taoist uniform was covered with tiny folds, the hem of the clothes was scratched several times by branches, and there was an obvious scratch on the back of his hand that was red from the cold. He quickly helped Shui Jing to sit down, "Shui Jing Mirror, where are you hurt?"

Shui Jing smiled warmly: "I'm fine, Tongtong." Feng looked carefully, her eyes were clear and full of spirit, her face was fair and rosy, it seemed that she had recovered, and his hard work these days was not in vain.Thinking that she was pregnant now, he helped Song Qingtong sit on the chair next to him with his backhand, and he wanted to feel her pulse in a while.

At this time, Zhanlu supported Cheng Guan and sat on the chair. Cheng Guan's head was lowered, and he didn't say a word after entering.

Song Qingtong ordered Zhanlu to find the imperial doctor, and ordered Yu'er to fetch bandages and golden sore medicine, and personally bandaged Shui Jing's wound, asking, "Shui Jing, where did you meet the robbers?"

Shui Jing's eyes flickered, and he turned his eyes to Cheng Guan, thinking: "In the valley near the northern suburbs of the capital."

Leng Junxie frowned, and questioned: "The valley was searched many times when the Li Palace rebellion was suppressed, and nothing unusual was found, and you will never pass through that valley when you set off from Qingfeng Temple to the palace. "

Cheng Guan's eyelids visibly twitched, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It's A Guan who wants to change the route temporarily. Halfway through the carriage, A Guan heard a flute sound faintly. That flute music seemed familiar, so A Guan The guards were asked to go in the direction of the song until they came to the valley. A Guan ignored the obstruction of Shui Jing and the guards and entered the valley. He encountered dozens of masked men. Those guards died to protect A Guan, and Daoist Shui Jing also..." At this point, Cheng Guan sucked his nose and choked up.

Song Qingtong frowned and listened. The robbers obviously lured Cheng Guan to the valley on purpose. This interception was premeditated, but how did they know that Cheng Guan would be led by their noses?Are they trying to capture Cheng Guan?Is it because of the drawing on his back?

"Have the bandits been caught?"

Shangguan Lianyue replied: "When I arrived, I met Daoist Shui Jing helping Cheng Guan and several guards out of the valley. I led people into the valley and found that there were only the bodies of guards and robbers in the valley. Leaving one alive, I have ordered people to search the mountain."

Shui Jing's pupils turned slightly, and the scene of fighting in the valley flashed in his mind. His fly fly saw one of the gangsters, and Cheng Guan seemed to pass by unintentionally. He had to withdraw his fly fly for fear of accidentally hurting Cheng Guan. The gangster took the opportunity to kidnap Cheng Guan and fled into the depths of the valley. He followed Cheng Guan all the way to find Cheng Guan with an injured ankle, but the gangster was nowhere to be found.

Cheng Guan felt the gaze cast by Shui Jing, and his heart became cramped. He took a quick look at Song Qingtong, and his lips trembled: "Tong, sister Tong, I'm sorry, A Guan never left the painting you gave A Guan." body, but during the fight, accidentally... fell off."

Song Qingtong's heart sank slightly. That painting was exactly what she drew with a lead strip that day. Later, she saw that he couldn't put it down, so she gave it to him. It was originally intended to arouse his memory. It's no big deal, that valley is deserted, and she will send someone to look for it in a while.What she is really curious about is what kind of flute sound attracts Cheng Guan. According to her observation, Cheng Guan is not fond of piano music.

Shui Jing said: "Tongtong, I still remember that song."

Song Qingtong's eyes lit up, and he ordered someone to fetch the flute. Shui Jing picked up the piccolo and played it on his lips. The resonant sound of the flute filled the palace. People feel endless aftertaste.

Song Qingtong nodded, this tune is very nice, but it's not like the tune she heard in the palace.

A clear expression appeared on Shangguan Lianyue's face, this piece of music was not from the Northern Qin Dynasty, but from the Southern Dynasty, to be exact, Xi Luo!After the sound of the flute stopped, Shangguan Lianyue said: "This piece of music is called Sigui. It was originally spread among the people of Xiluo, but after being improved by court musicians, it was widely circulated among the royal family of Xiluo."

Song Qingtong's thoughts turned. She asked Cheng Guan about his childhood. He seemed to only remember after he was five years old, and his previous memory was blank. If Zi Sha was not his sister at all, then what kind of mystery was hidden in his life experience?Does this return to music indicate that he grew up in Xiluo when he was young?

At this time, the imperial physician had already bandaged Cheng Guan's foot injury, and fixed it with wooden chips. He told Cheng Guan to remove it after ten days, try not to exert force on his feet within a hundred days, and left a pair of crutches when he stepped down.

An accident came to an end, and the New Year's Eve banquet continued. Song Qingtong sat back beside Leng Junxie, Shui Jing sat on the other side of her, and Shangguan Lianyue and Cheng Guan sat opposite.

Song Qingtong looked around at everyone present, and smiled slightly: "Today is the day of family reunion, you should treat it as if you were at home, and you don't have to be cautious." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Guan had already eaten two dumplings, and Shangguan Lianyue had also taken two sips For the tea, Leng Junxie held the chopsticks clumsily, and slightly sent a piece of meat to his mouth tremblingly.

Song Qingtong's forehead was covered with black lines, so they couldn't save her some face. No wonder she couldn't find the feeling of being an emperor in front of them. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Shui Jing didn't move her chopsticks, and she was moved. Or he treats her best.
