As soon as the matter on the side of Fufeng County was resolved, Wang Jun and Zheng Xun jointly signed an excerpt to Emperor Qinglong. Naturally, the excerpt will not say that Cui Qun was shot by Wang Jun with an arrow, but that he led his troops to suppress the bandits and sacrificed his life for the country, so that even if Cui Hao learned the truth of the matter, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and he didn't dare to do anything on the surface.

Then, as Wang Jun had expected, Emperor Qinglong quickly sent a confidant to take over the entire Fufeng County. So Wang Jun and his entourage then returned to Beijing.

On the way back to Beijing, Wang Jun dispersed all the Wang clan's iron horsemen and secret guards who had come with him all the way, and let them go back to their original locations separately.

Although Emperor Qinglong was counting on him at the beginning, the royal mind was actually afraid of their Wang iron horse, so it was better to be cautious.

After they returned to Beijing, Empress Dowager Li immediately sent someone to pick up Sima Yue into the palace.

Wang Jun naturally didn't want Sima Yue to enter the palace. It was just at first, but now that he knows that Empress Dowager Li and her party are so calculating her, and they are actually putting her in such a dangerous situation, how can he still let Sima Yue enter the palace? So he kept a calm face, and wanted to directly issue an eviction order to the internal supervisor sent by the Empress Dowager Li.

Sima Yue stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and then smiled at the inner eunuch: "Father-in-law wait outside, I'll come later." ”

Under Wang Jun's extremely oppressive aura, the inner prisoner trembled his legs and walked out almost step by step.

Here, Wang Jun waited for him to leave, and immediately asked Sima Yue: "Why do you want to enter the palace?" You know ......"

"I know," Sima Yue took the initiative to reach out and wrap his arms around his waist and comfort him, "It's just that you can't really die old and die, right?" ”

It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but as long as she and Wang Jun still live in the land of Great Xia, then they can't offend the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Qinglong too much. And because of this, Empress Dowager Li will definitely feel a little guilty about her in her heart. Don't underestimate this bit of guilt, she can be of great use at critical moments.

Wang Jun was still angry, but since he beat Fufeng County, he no longer disobeyed Sima Yue's decision, so he could only keep asking for kisses to express the displeasure in his heart.

In the face of his non-stop kisses, Sima Yue gave them meekly. In the end, she comforted Wang Jun: "Don't worry, I'm just going to go into the palace to see them, and then I'll come back." ”

Wang Jun's eyes lit up, and then he was afraid that she would regret it, so he immediately ordered Chengying to prepare the car, saying that he was going to send her into the palace, and then waited for her to come out outside the palace gate, and then come back together.

Sima Yue was slightly embarrassed. Why do you think that since he came back from Fufeng County, Wang Jun can't hate the trend of sticking to him all the time.

But thinking that he was scared by her at that time, Sima Yue was relieved that he must be afraid that something would happen to him again, so he always wanted to accompany her all the time.

So the next two people took a car, and Wang Jun hugged her tightly throughout the whole process and didn't let go. When they got out of the carriage, she wanted to follow the inner prisoner into the palace, but Wang Jun was still reluctant to let go.

Sima Yue had no choice but to comfort him: "I promise, I will come out soon." ”

"I'm waiting for you here. If you don't come, I won't leave. Wang Junmo rubbed her hand for a long time, and finally said such a sentence.

Such a Wang Jun is really like a child who is afraid of being abandoned by his mother.

Sima Yue's motherly heart was overflowing immediately, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people next to him, they would all want to hold him in his arms and touch his head well.

"Okay." In the end, she squeezed Wang Jun's hand, agreed with a smile, and then followed the inner eunuch into the palace gate.

It's just that on the way to the palace gate, she still turns her head to take a look from time to time. And every time, he could see Wang Jun's tall figure standing there, looking at her fixedly.

Sima Yue didn't know why, and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour.

In fact, it feels really good that someone has been concerned about her all the time.

She looked up, and the sky was blue and the sun was shining.

As always, sandalwood is lit in Changqing Palace. In the smoke, Gong E gently led her to the side hall.

In this small hall, there is a white-clothed Guanyin on the long rosewood table. The white-clothed Guanyin held a water purification bottle in his hand, sat on the lotus platform, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the three-legged filigree incense burner placed in front of him with a compassionate face.

Three slender sticks of sandalwood were lit in the incense burner, and the incense mist lingered.

Empress Dowager Li was kneeling straight on the futon, holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, closing her eyes, and chanting words in her mouth.

Sima Yue held the door frame with one hand and looked at the Empress Dowager Li quietly.

She was a child who grew up in a single-parent family. Earlier, his mother died unexpectedly, and his father married a stepmother a few years later, and then he had another child with his stepmother, so he didn't care much about her, and her grandparents didn't care about her. Since she was a child, she watched other children being spoiled by her family, and she watched alone, and even took care of her younger brother. If she doesn't take care of her well, her father and stepmother will scold her lightly and beat her severely. So since she crossed over, Empress Dowager Li and Sima Xuan, Sima Yuan and others have been so good, she is very moved in her heart, and she really regards them as relatives. It's just that in the end, they will still calculate her like this.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that although they calculated her, they really regarded her as a granddaughter and a younger sister, but it was still difficult to calm down in the end, because there were still a little other things mixed in their kindness to her.

But fortunately, there is still a Wang Jun, isn't it? Wang Jun's kindness to her should be very pure and without utilitarianism.

As soon as he thought of Wang Jun, Sima Yue felt like a warm wind blowing, blowing away all the coldness in his heart.

She straightened up, smiled, and called out to the Imperial Grandmother.

Empress Dowager Li opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and immediately turned her head to look at it.

As soon as she saw Sima Yue standing behind her with a smile, she hurriedly wanted to get up and stand up. It's just that I got up too quickly, and my body leaned to one side a little.

Sima Yue hurriedly rushed forward from the back two steps, grabbed her arm on one side with both hands, and said, "Imperial grandmother, be careful." ”

Empress Dowager Li stood still with her hand, called Yue'er, and then looked at her fixedly, and did not speak.

And Sima Yue always had a slight smile on her face, so she let her watch it all the time.

She looks like this, but Empress Dowager Li doesn't know what to say for a while.

If Sima Yue came back and cried with her, saying that she had suffered so many sins in Fufeng County, it was because Sima Xuan was not good or something, she could have hugged her, coaxed her, and punished Sima Xuan, then this matter might have been revealed. But I don't want to, but now Sima Yue just stood there so quietly, with a smile on his face, and didn't say anything.

It seems that she suddenly grew from a child who jumped out of the sky to a sensible adult.

used to think that they doted on her and sincerely regarded her as a family member, Sima Yue would naturally be coquettish in front of them, but now, she can no longer make such a coquettish in front of them.

Even though she knew that Empress Dowager Li actually loved her granddaughter in her heart, she still felt that this layer of love was separated by such a layer of glass.

You can see it with your eyes, but you can't experience it with your own eyes.

Empress Dowager Li reached out and held her hands at this time, and after rubbing them for a while, she sighed and called Yue'er again.

Sima Yue agreed, still with a faint smile on his face, and helped the Empress Dowager Li to the main hall, and carefully mentioned: "Imperial grandmother, be careful of the threshold." ”

Empress Dowager Li was also supported by her, and slowly walked to the chair in the main hall and sat down.

There was Gong'e who served the Longjing tea before the rain, and the Empress Dowager Li ordered them to hurry up and serve the pastries. Then he turned to Sima Yue and said, "I got the news earlier, knowing that you will be back today, I ordered them to make your favorite pastry early in the morning, can you taste it?" ”

Sima Yue replied with a smile. Immediately, Gong E brought a few plates of pastries, cool mint cake, crispy and sweet Qiaoguo, and snowflake cake with white sugar, which are really her favorite foods on weekdays.

Sima Yue stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of snowflake crisp to eat, and finally raised his head and smiled at the Empress Dowager Li: "The snowflake crisp here is still so delicious." ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction, and said: "If you like to eat, live here for a few days with peace of mind, and I will let people make it for you every day." ”

"I'm afraid it won't work," Sima Yue gently put the chopsticks in his hand on the ivory chopsticks holder, and excused himself, "Although I also want to stay with the imperial grandmother for a few more days and accompany the imperial grandmother more, the imperial grandmother also knows, I have been away from Beijing for a few days, and I have just come back, and there are still many things at home that have not been taken care of." Why don't you wait for the family affairs to be taken care of another day, and then I will enter the palace to accompany the imperial grandmother, how about it? ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she suddenly felt a strong twitch in her heart, and she felt a faint pain.

She naturally knew that what Sima Yue said was just an excuse for not wanting to stay with her. Sima Yue is a princess, what do you need her to take care of personally? Naturally, there are maids who take care of her one by one. Besides, didn't she also live in the capital for a few days in the capital, why didn't she see her at that time and said that she couldn't pull away?

Although Empress Dowager Li knew that Sima Yue's words were just excuses, it was still difficult to say anything after all.

They calculated her like that just now, can they still ask her not to hold grudges, and there is no resentment against them in her heart? Sima Yue can still smile and talk to her like this, and he doesn't mention those things at all, which is already very good.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Li's words couldn't help but have an astringent tone.

"Even if the affairs of the family have not been taken care of, then the imperial grandmother will not keep you today. But another day, you must enter the palace to see the imperial grandmother. The imperial grandmother is old, but I am afraid that there is not much time to live, I just hope that you can all be safe, and I will be satisfied to see you a few more times. ”

Sima Yue listened to Empress Dowager Li's words with a smile on her face throughout the whole process. When she heard Empress Dowager Li say that she was old, and she was afraid that she would not have much time to live, she still felt a sudden pain in her heart for no reason.

"Imperial grandmother," she stood up, looked up, and said very sincerely, "I will often come to the palace to see you in the future." ”

But as always, I am afraid that she will not be able to stay here often with Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li was relieved a lot when she heard this, so she instructed Gong E on the side to bring a box and pack all these unfinished pastries, saying that she would let Sima Yue take them back to eat later.

Sima Yue also meekly agreed, and then said goodbye.

Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to respond, and then watched Sima Yue leave. It's just that when Sima Yue was about to walk out of the hall, she still couldn't hold back after all, got up and stood up, took a few steps forward, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yue'er, that thing, you, do you resent the imperial grandmother in your heart?" ”

Sima Yue's figure paused, and then she turned around, still with such a faint smile on her face.

"Grandmother Huang, what are you talking about?"

Empress Dowager Li was stunned when she heard this, but then she also reluctantly pulled a smile out and said with a smile: "It's okay." The imperial grandmother is just talking nonsense. You, you go. ”

Sima Yue saluted her respectfully and turned around.

After all, she still had resentment in her heart, and Empress Dowager Li was supported by Gong E, and sat down on the chair weakly.

As soon as Sima Yue walked out of Changqing Palace, his footsteps immediately began to speed up.

Wang Jun was still waiting for her outside the palace gate.

ran quickly all the way, and finally the palace gate was in sight. And from afar, she saw that Wang Jun's upright figure was still standing there, as if he had been standing in place waiting for her since she left, and had never moved a single bit.

Sima Yue quickened his pace, and finally ran over. Then she didn't care that there were still people around, so she threw herself into Wang Jun's arms.

Wang Jun caught her with open arms, hugged her tightly in his arms, and then held her hand firmly, and a smile bloomed on his lips: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
