Chapter 124: The Queen's Tribulation (15)

The silence in the hall suddenly became more and more silent, and there was not a single sound from so many people in the hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The courtiers glanced at Jing Yanwan, who was standing in the middle with a strategizing expression, and carefully looked up at the empress's face, one by one lowered their heads like quails, but only to find that the floor in this hall was actually chic.

Xiao Tu's eyes like substance slowly swept over the faces of the ministers, and the people who pressed them didn't dare to raise their heads.

Now who doesn't know that this prince likes to go against Her Majesty the Empress, and the Empress doesn't have much affection for this imperial sister who suddenly appeared halfway, the two only maintain a calm on the surface, and no one who can stand here is not a fool or a blind person, and the turmoil inside is naturally seen clearly.

Although the Nanyi Rebellion was not a major event and could be suppressed in minutes, if there was always such a thing as handing over the military power if the expedition was to be carried out - how could the empress hand over the military power to a prince who was quite hostile to her.

It's just that the generals have no intention of fighting at this time, and this prince will automatically ask for help, and I don't know how the empress will respond, so she must definitely not agree.

The courtiers were thinking like this, when they heard the voice of the empress sitting on the upper hand say softly: "Heh, only the imperial sister is willing to go on the expedition on behalf of Gu?"

The ministers looked at each other, and a woman standing at the end of the generals stood up and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, He Yan is willing to fight on behalf of you!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the rear in unison, expressing great admiration for He Yan who bravely stood up. Xiao Tu raised his eyebrows and looked at this person, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone: "He Yan?"

He Yan scratched his head, seemed to be a little shy, and replied with a smirk: "The minister is here." ”

The corner of Xiao Tu's mouth hooked: "Courage is commendable." ”

The ministers quietly touched and even lightened their breathing, but He Yan didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere in the hall, and said shyly: "Your Majesty Xie praises." ”

“……”

Everyone was speechless for a while, is Your Majesty praising you?

The corners of Xiao Tu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing for a while, Jing Yanwan's eyes darkened a little, and she secretly remembered the name He Yan in her heart.

However, Xiao Tu touched his chin, played with the jade seal on the table, and said casually: "In this case, then General He will go out with Zixu." ”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The minister is not a general......

The ministers couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths in unison, and they had a further understanding of this He Yan's dullness. Xiaotu raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Lone said that you are you!"

He Yan wanted to say something more, but was pulled by a colleague next to him, and it happened that Xiaotu casually flicked his sleeve and said, "Let's retreat if you have nothing to do." ”

Liao Jing stepped forward and left straight away with Xiaotu.

The ministers glanced at each other a few times, glanced at the prince Zixu who was standing in the first place, and quietly withdrew from the main hall.

"Tsk, I didn't find out in the past, the prince of Zixu is still a ......"

"Your Majesty trusts her. ”

"Lord Zheng is cautious!"

"Oh, it's hard to say. ”

……

Listening to the occasional conversations outside the hall, Jing Yanwan's hands tightened unconsciously, and her nails were deeply buckled in her palms, leaving a few half-moon-shaped traces.

He hung his head slightly, and the face covered under his hair couldn't see the expression clearly, but the aura around his body inexplicably made people feel cold, and the palace people in the corner silently felt the sudden decrease in temperature, and shrank themselves into a more corner without any sense of existence.

……

Returning to the main hall where the empress lived, Xiao Tu waved his hand to signal the palace people to retreat, and when he saw that Liao Jing was still standing in place, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lord Liao, is there anything else?"

Hearing Xiaotu's name, Liao Jing's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and then said, "Why did Your Majesty allow Jing Yanwan to go on the expedition?

Xiao Tu put his feet on the table, propped his chin and looked out the window, and only after a long time did he sneer and said, "The military power is naturally to be released, but it can't be given to Jing Yanwan." ”

Liao Jing's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and there was some imperceptible contempt in her tone: "Does Your Majesty think that He Yan has the capital to compete with Jing Yanwan?"

Xiao Tu smiled and said nothing, Liao Jing said in a somewhat hurried tone: "Jing Yanwan is despicable and cunning, He Yan is definitely not an opponent......"

Xiaotu raised his hand to interrupt her words, and said impatiently: "This point is naturally planned. ”

He didn't want to say more.

Liao Jing stared at Xiao Tu's eyes steadily, but Xiao Tu's eyes were always outside the window, and he didn't look at her, for a long time, Liao Jing sighed slightly, lowered his eyes and bowed down: "Your Majesty has its own furrow in his chest, and it is Wei Chen who is reckless." ”

Xiaotu was silent for a long time before he said, "If it's okay, just retreat." ”

Liao Jing didn't say anything more, and retreated.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Xiao Tu stared at his hand, which slowly spread out in the sunlight, and then tightened violently. The sporadic sunlight poured in, and the small earthen fingers reflected were slender and tight.

A leisurely sigh echoed in the hall, and Xiao Tu closed his eyes peacefully, as if he had fallen into a sweet dream for a while.

…… Sending He Yan, Jing Yanwan and a group of soldiers away, Xiaotu returned to the palace tiredly.

In the past few days, in order to prepare for the expedition, even the atmosphere in the palace has been very tense, and Xiaotu has not been able to rest properly for several days.

Liao Jing looked at Xiaotu rubbing her eyebrows with a rare and weak look, and couldn't help but reach out and hold her temples and press them gently, and said with a wry smile: "Even if you have trouble with me, you don't have to force yourself to do everything yourself, Ah Jin." ”

Xiaotu's body stiffened, and then relaxed, the other party's kneading strength was moderate, and she was a little comfortable pressing.

Seeing that Xiaotu didn't speak, the bitterness at the corner of Liao Jing's mouth deepened a little, but she stopped talking and concentrated on her movements.

Xiao Tu gradually closed his eyes, and just when Liao Jing thought that the other party was asleep, Xiao Tu spoke: "Gu is not messing with you. ”

Liao Jing's eyes narrowed and pointed out the facts: "You have been alienating me recently. ”

"Lone just doesn't feel like I can rely on you too much. ”

Liao Jing's subordinates paused, and their words were filled with some questioning: "Why?"

Xiaotu didn't care about her attitude, and said to himself: "You have no intention of the court after all, if you leave that day, you don't want to find yourself in a hurry until then." ”

Liao Jing frowned: "I will assist Your Majesty to become an emperor for a hundred generations, so ......"

Xiaotu interrupted her: "Look, although you said that you would not leave, the premise of your stay is to become an emperor for centuries. ”

Liao Jing's pupils shrank, and she was a little speechless, and after a long time, she said dryly: "Doesn't Your Majesty want to be an emperor who will last for centuries?"
