"The minister didn't dare, but the minister's body has been a little unwell over the years, for fear of disturbing the emperor's interest. ”

Xiao Jingchen bowed slightly, his eyes slightly drooping to look at the carpet of flowers under his feet that was paid tribute by Persia.

The trade route was in his domain, and he lost hundreds of men every year to protect the merchants who came and went through it.

They protect what they have come with their lives, and they let others trample under their feet.

"The war king is not in good health, I heard that your war princess is proficient in medical skills, why don't you let her show you?"

"The emperor laughed, she just knows a little skin, and the minister entered the palace today to meet him because he had something to tell the emperor. ”

Now that he is in the capital, there are already Xiliang people who have crossed the border to the capital, and there must be a place where the border is lost.

He had already sent someone to send a secret order back, but if he wanted to conduct a large-scale investigation, he would need the emperor's decree.

At this time, the emperor smiled and picked up the teacup: "Don't worry, if there is something to say slowly, please sit down with the king of war, come and serve tea." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, it may be related to border defense, and I ask the emperor to listen to the ministers to finish their words first. ”

"Oh, is the War King teaching me to do things?" the emperor sneered, lifted the lid of the cup and blew softly.

"I naturally take the matter of border defense to heart, if everything has to wait for the king of war to remind me, then what else will I do as the emperor?"

The minister had no intention of doing so. ”

Xiao Jingchen was still standing quietly, with an aura that could not be ignored in his gestures.

He raised his head and looked directly at the emperor, and even had a faint smile on his face: "Since the emperor already knows about this matter, he must already have a way to deal with it, so the minister will retire first." ”

"The king of war has finally entered the palace, why is he in such a hurry to leave? I have to hold a banquet in the evening, and it just so happens that you will stay with you. ”

The emperor got up with a smile and walked down the steps and walked in front of Xiao Jingchen.

Only then did he find that Xiao Jingchen was more than half a head taller than him, and he wanted to raise his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but at this time he felt a little cramped.

But his hand had already been raised, so he had to pretend to touch his arm inadvertently.

"You have been in Northern Zhou City all the year round, and you finally came back this year, so let's wait until the New Year to go back, and stay in the capital to be lively. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace. ”

Xiao Jingchen bowed down indifferently to thank him, as if he didn't care about such a grace.

Su Qing stayed by Xiao Molin's bedside for a whole day, and was relieved to see that his condition had improved in the evening.

"Princess, go get something to eat, you haven't eaten all day, I'll look here. ”

Qingshuang was worried, if she continued like this, I was afraid that Su Qing's body would not be able to bear it.

"Okay, I'm going to get something to eat. Su Qing nodded and stood up, feeling dizzy as soon as they came together.

Qingshuang hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Princess, are you okay?"

"It's nothing, just take a moment. Su Qing waved his hand, only to find that it was already dark outside: "Where is the prince?"

"The prince seems to have entered the palace today, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

Su Qing slowed down for a while and gradually returned to normal, she frowned and walked to the door.

The time to close the palace gate has long passed this moment, why hasn't Xiao Jingchen come back yet?

She hurriedly ate a few bites of food and went to the courtyard outside to call Xiao Jue out: "Hasn't the prince come back yet?

"The prince asked me to stay and protect Xiao Shizi, with Ying Liu and them following, nothing should happen. ”

This is also true, how to forget them, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the shadow guard taught by Xiao Jingchen himself is not comparable to ordinary guards.

"By the way, what's going on over there in Changleju?

Su Qing wandered aimlessly in the courtyard, and walked to the gate of the palace.

Xiao Jue hesitated for a moment: "I haven't been to see it today, but I posted a notice at the door, saying that you won't go over if you have something today." ”

"I was treating people in Changle Ju, didn't you tell the prince, right?" Su Qing turned around and killed Xiao Jue by surprise.

He still shook his head: "Since I promised you to keep this matter secret for you, I will definitely do it." ”

"That's pretty much it. Xiao Jue spoke, and Su Qing still trusted it.

Although she knows that he is an eyeliner sent by Xiao Jingchen by her side, people are always alive.

"But this is also temporary, if I find out that you have done something sorry for the prince, I will no longer keep it a secret for you. ”

"I'm sorry for him? How can you tell me how I'm sorry for him?" Su Qing hugged his arms and subconsciously glanced out of the door.

She didn't know why she didn't leave when she got to the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

Who are you waiting for?" she chuckled in her heart.

"The princess is now hiding from the prince to treat people, the capital is so big, in case ......"

Xiao Jue was about to say something more, when Su Qing suddenly raised his chin: "Whose carriage do you see is that?"

Xiao Jingchen was almost trapped in the palace tonight and couldn't come back, if he hadn't insisted on leaving the palace again and again, he wouldn't know what conspiracies and tricks were waiting for him at night.

All the way, he was thinking about the northern border, and the figure of Xiliang people appeared in the capital, and he also sent people to keep an eye on it.

In the palace, I always felt that it was very draining, and it was easy to breathe a sigh of relief when I was close to his palace.

The carriage gradually slowed down and stopped, and the coachman opened the door: "Lord Wang, it's here." ”

Xiao Jingchen rubbed his eyebrows and got up and walked out of the carriage, but saw a figure standing at the door.

Su Qing wore a light yellow dress today, her hair was casually tied with a hosta, and she stood under the lantern, like a jade person coming out of a painting.

Is she waiting for him here? Xiao Jingchen was stunned for a moment.

It seems to go back to when he was a child, he was playful and always liked to sneak out. When he came back in the evening, his mother would wait for him.

"What happened on the way, why was it so late?"

Su Qing watched Xiao Jingchen get out of the car unharmed, and the worry in her heart just now disappeared.

It was Xiao Jue who went up to ask questions, and Su Qing still stood there watching Xiao Jingchen walk towards them.

"It's nothing, just stayed in the palace for dinner, and came back late, which made the princess worried. ”

"I, I'm just walking around after eating, blowing the wind at the door, where can the prince worry about me." ”

Su Qing had a moment of panic, as if someone had seen through what she was thinking.

A chuckle appeared in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, so faint that he didn't even notice it.

After Su Qing finished speaking, he turned his head and left, but Xiao Jingchen followed: "How is Lin'er?" ”

"I woke up twice today and my fever has subsided. Su Qing deliberately slowed down a little: "What are you going to do with that person?"

"What do you want this king to do?" Xiao Jingchen didn't answer the rhetorical question, Su Qing frowned: "This is your family matter, I don't have the right to deal with it." ”
