Chapter 190
However, due to the presence of the British prince, Jing Tong did not dare to make too many movements, so as not to be seen by others, so Huo Shijiu just pretended not to see it, without showing the slightest entanglement and doubt, and turned around to meet the British Gong Qian gave way to Dan Chi, and said politely to Tong Jing: "Please trouble Jing Gong Gong to pass the biography."

"Don't dare, dare not." Jing Tong saluted again and again, on his delicate face, there was joy and pride in being valued, but it was more respectful and polite: "Please wait for the Duke and Lord Hou."

The Duke of England waved his hand at Jing Tong.

The two stood at Dan Chi in front of the imperial study room, and at the same time looked towards the moon gate with their hands behind their hands.Jiao Zhongyi and Hongfeng, who came with Huo Shijiu, were standing in a row with the fifty light armored cavalry under the red wall and glazed tiles.Everyone looked awe-inspiring, paying attention to the direction of the imperial study, as if there was a slight change in the British Duke, these fifty people would immediately turn into tigers and wolves and rush forward, eating its flesh and drinking its blood.

The Duke of England has experienced a lot in his life, but only when the late emperor was there could he feel such oppressive force.After that, he became vigilant and devoted himself to protecting himself, and the best way to protect himself is to eradicate the enemy...

Today, in front of the person who has always treated him respectfully, he once again experienced such strong oppression.The tension and suffocation that he hadn't suffered for many years once again swept his heart.Although Fangzheng's face did not show any emotional fluctuations, there was cold sweat on his back.He couldn't help but wondered what would happen today if he had attacked the emperor by mistake a few days ago.

"Brother Ying is really back?" The voice of the little emperor in the room came faintly from Ge Fan.

Huo Shijiu's heart shook, but he turned around very calmly.

The vermilion lacquered water chestnut gate of the palace was slowly pushed open, and the little emperor, dressed in bright red and embroidered uniforms, strode happily out.

Outside the moon gate, Jiao Zhongyi saw the emperor was safe from a distance, tears welled up in his eyes, he knelt down on one knee, and shouted long live.The fifty cavalrymen behind him all got off their horses and saluted.The shouts of the men are enough to make people's blood boil. ,

Pei Hongfeng was taken aback when she saw the little emperor. She had indeed met him when she was in Jinning Hou's mansion. At that time, her girl said that this person might be more noble, but she still didn't believe it. Now she really believed it. Huo Shijiu gained some new understanding of the relationship between him and the little emperor, and he also knelt down to salute.

The little emperor had a ruddy complexion and a fair complexion, as if he had been pampered and treated so well these days that he had become quite fair.When I saw Huo Shijiu, I was just like when I was a child, happy like a bird out of the cage, dancing around the handsome body like a banished fairy, "Brother Ying, why are you back!"

"Your Majesty." Huo Shijiu pulled up the hem of his clothes and knelt on his knees to salute.

At this moment, when the child whom he had watched grow up and cared for carefully reappeared in front of him, Huo Shijiu truly let go of his heart.Of course he will not forget how he left Kyoto in the first place.This child's deliberate alienation, deliberate design, all good intentions are to keep him safe, even if Jiang Wu got injured because of that plan, but that was not his original intention.They are not only monarchs and ministers, but also partners who share weal and woe. The first emperor and him were sworn brothers. Although the little emperor refused to admit it, insisting that he be a big brother instead of an uncle, in Huo Shijiu's heart, the little emperor was always the one who pulled him back. The first emperor's hand, smiling at him shyly, followed by a child talking to him like a little adult.

Huo Shijiu's excitement and relaxation were well hidden. The moment his forehead touched the ground, the cold floor tiles in the palace made his mind clearer, and he said in a crying voice: "I heard that the emperor is ill, and the princes are all over the world. I’m looking for a famous doctor for you, but I can’t stay in Jinzhou anymore, and I rushed back day and night, the emperor is fine, it’s really great!”

The little emperor laughed loudly, pulled Huo Jiujiu up with both hands, and said, "Brother Ying is not here, so I miss you too much. Thanks to the British Lord, I am now fully recovered. These days are really too hard for the British Lord."

The British official hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "It is a great honor for the veteran to share the worries of the emperor, and it is also a shame. I just ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, so that our country of Great Yan can be guaranteed!"

The little emperor nodded again and again: "What the British Lord said is true, and I should indeed take care of myself. So I have to continue to work on you in the affairs of the court."

The little emperor didn't take this opportunity to be in charge! ?
Huo Shijiu was extremely astonished, but he also knew the little emperor, he would never fight an uncertain battle, and perhaps there was some reason in the hands of the British Duke.

The British official then pretended to decline: "The emperor's dragon body is getting better and better day by day, how dare the old minister go beyond the rules. This is not in line with the rules."

"Rules are made by man. I am the Son of Heaven, so I will do what I say." The little emperor frowned, looking very impatient.

The British Duke immediately knelt down and kowtowed in fear and trepidation: "Yes, the old minister obeys the order. I will not disgrace the mission."

Only then did the little emperor seem to realize that he was a little too impatient, coughed, and said with a great intention to make amends: "The British public has worked so hard, and I understand and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Please hurry up."

"The old minister is terrified." The British Duke stood up and stood with his hands down.

The little emperor looked at him with a smile.Neither said anything to make him leave, nor spoke to Huo Shijiu.

The British public saw that it was useless to continue to stay, and had to offend the emperor, so they resigned wisely.

As soon as he left, the little emperor waved to Jiao Zhongyi and the others in the distance, signaling them to flatten their backs, then pulled Huo Jiujiu's sleeve and eagerly let him into the imperial study.

Jing Tong naturally stayed outside the door and guarded, not allowing anyone to approach.

Jiao Zhongyi and all the cavalry stood up and saw that the emperor was safe. Everyone seemed to have a backbone. They stood upright and watched the only son of the British prince leave. Everyone had a sense of pride and high spirits.

The British general hid his depression in his heart, and left calmly.Seeing him walking away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Because no one expected today that the Duke of England had no arrangement in the palace.

In the imperial study room, the little emperor and Huo Shijiu sat opposite each other on the armchairs by the window, and they were speechless for a while.After a long time, Huo Shijiu said: "How is the emperor recently?"

The little emperor nodded and said: "I'm fine, why did Brother Ying come back? Didn't I say that I would not let you come back? I sent you away with good intentions, and you should just stay in Jinzhou, so why come back? Coming back so forcefully, and confronting him so tit for tat, it will be even more difficult for me to protect you in the future."

"Sir, how can you ignore the situation of the emperor knowing that the situation is critical? Does the emperor think that the minister is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Even if you are not afraid, now you have your own family. You have a son, a wife, and your parents rely on you. I am already like this. Look at the country of Yan now. Internal worries are hard to get rid of." , foreign aggression is strong, the court is in chaos, and the lives of the people are also difficult. Even if I have the heart, I am always at a disadvantage and struggling. I really have no choice but to do nothing."

The little emperor was only fifteen now, but his old demeanor and tired tone seemed like he was already fifty, which made Huo Shijiu feel pain in his heart, and couldn't help but reach over the little girl with his long arms, and patted the emperor on the shoulder.

"Your majesty, you are the master of the world. You have not yet completed the important task entrusted to you by the late emperor. The country is waiting to be rectified, and the treacherous ministers are to be eliminated. You are still young, and it is the time when you should be most energetic. How do you sigh?"

Then he softened his tone and said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter what, I will accompany the Emperor."

"Brother Ying..." The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu, his eyes were helpless and hesitant, his voice was choked and trembling, and he shed tears: "I, I don't know what to do. I thought I was going to die."

Huo Shijiu didn't expect that the little emperor would cry and express his grievances, even forgetting to call himself "Zhen".It was as if there were ten thousand hands grasping the twister in his heart, and he was out of breath from the pain, so he couldn't help getting up and went to the little emperor, squatting in front of him, holding his shoulders and looking up at him, saying: "Don't be afraid, your majesty." , there are ministers. There are ministers in everything."

The little emperor was choked up, looking at Huo Shijiu's handsome face with hazy eyes. In his memory, there was a day when he sat alone on the armchair in the dormitory, his legs couldn't reach the ground, and his feet were shaking boringly .It was winter, and the palace servants in the sleeping hall were lazy and had never burned a charcoal basin. The bedding on the dragon bed was somewhat damp, and even if they got into it, they might not be able to warm up for a long time.He lost his father, and his life was worse than that of ordinary children outside the palace.

At that time, the palace door was pushed open, and the sunlight shone into the palace which was not lit in the evening, making a handsome figure slender.

At that time, Huo Shijiu was just in his early twenties, with a stunning appearance and noble demeanor like a banished immortal.Wearing a cloak, he entered the palace, saw the palace with no lamps or charcoal basins, and ruthlessly ordered the maids and servants who neglected their duties to be executed with sticks.Then squatted down in front of him, and said softly: "The emperor should not cry, there are still ministers."

It was only then that he realized that he was already crying with tears and snot dripping down his clothes.

At that time, he was slightly looking up at the man squatting in front of him.

Now he was tall enough to look down at the man when he sat down.

But seeing his handsome face and caring eyes like before, he couldn't help it anymore, he would rather just be a child who can only look up to him.

The little emperor sniffed, threw himself on Huo Jiujiu, put his arms around his neck and cried.

Huo Shijiu patted him on the back soothingly, his heart ached beyond measure, and he murmured: "Your Majesty, don't cry, I will protect you. Don't cry..."

Jing Tong stood in front of the imperial study room, with his head half down, staring at the toes of his shoes expressionlessly, listening to the movement in the room, but his nose was unavoidable.

After waiting for a while, the crying in the room finally subsided, and then there was a low voice of conversation, and after a while, Huo Shijiu came out.

Jing Tong red-eyed, and winked at Huo Shijiu again.

Huo Shijiu paused slightly when he was about to walk down Danchi: "Eunuch Jing?"
