Chapter 166
Recently, everyone in the imperial capital knows that there have been great changes in the five cities, first the deputy commander was arrested by the criminal department, and the charges were not made public, but one of the families involved was controlled, and the deputy commander Zeng Xiang was handed over to the three divisions for trial.
In Canglan Garden, Xie Yan was combing Shen Xi's wet hair, and when she heard Shen Xi say the news, she was stunned for a while, and then said:
"The deputy commander Zeng Xiang was handed over to the three divisions for interrogation?"
Shen Xi nodded: "Yes." What's wrong? โ
Shen Xi was sure that his wife didn't know Zeng Xiang at all, but her expression was very surprised when she heard that she was interrogated by the three divisions, and he stared at Xie Yan from the mirror for a while.
I saw Xie Yan shaking her head, lowering her head and continuing to comb Shen Xi's hair, thinking back to the previous life, at this time, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division should indeed have an accident, but at that time, it was Fu Qingliu who was interrogated by the third division, the son of the Rong'an County Palace, that time, for the Rong'an County Palace, it could be regarded as a catastrophe, the King of Rong'an County and the princess both died tragically, and the prince Fu Qingliu was exiled to a different place, until Shen Xi ascended the throne, he was recalled, and the Rong'an County Palace was restored to the past court with the efforts of Fu Qingliu.
And in the previous life, the Rong'an County Mansion was so miserable, and the final wisdom was that it was this Zeng Xiang who should be removed from Fu Qingliu's uncle and the Rong'an County Palace, after he got rid of the commander, he took his place and sat in the position of the commander, until Shen Xi ascended the throne, he was eradicated and exiled with his family, he had the same fate in this life, but he was not able to use the Rong'an County Mansion to accompany the funeral, and there was less of this twist and turn.
Shen Xi looked at Xie Yan's expression in the mirror, very puzzled, grabbed her hand, turned his head to look at her, and said with a firm look:
"Actually, I really want to thank you this time. Last time you told me that you dreamed that Qingliu couldn't go to Wucheng, and sure enough, it didn't take long for something to happen in Wucheng, Qingliu's uncle is the commander-in-chief of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, if he listens to my orders and goes to Wucheng, then my enemy will definitely start with him in order to hit me, I am not full of wings now, and I can't protect him, looking at the fate of this deputy commander now, I am afraid that the Fu family will be attacked more because of my relationship, so, strictly speaking, you saved the Fu family. โ
Xie Yan looked at Shen Xi for a long time without speaking, and always felt that his gaze at the moment was so clear and thorough, as if he wanted to see through something in her, and after a while, he said slowly:
"What other dreams have you had before, why don't you tell me them all?"
โโฆโฆโ
Xie Yan felt that his heart was slammed by something, although he recovered instantly, but the feeling of impact could not be dispersed for a long time, what did he find? If her husband knew about her, would he ...... After hesitating like this for a long time, Xie Yan reluctantly settled down, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and then slowly met Shen Xi's bright eyes, nodded, and said:
"Okay."
Xie Yan knew that Shen Xi certainly couldn't guess what happened to her, and it was unbelievable for anyone to go back to the age of eleven. But it happened to her.
She didn't tell Shen Xi that she was eleven years old again, although she wanted to confess to him, she also wanted to keep a little bit of her own secret, so she only told Shen Xi about the things before and after he ascended the throne.
And Shen Xi was not very interested in the political affairs that Xie Yan said, but was very interested in Xie Yan's dream of being a palace maid by his side, pestering her to ask questions, from when the two met, to what happened and what they experienced, Xie Xi said very generally, Shen Xi listened very carefully, and for a whole night, Xie Xi finished talking about her and his past and present lives in a soft voice - of course, in a dream.
In the end, Xie Yan only remembered that when she fell asleep, the sky was already slightly bright, and Shen Xi hugged her to sleep, and she had no sleep all night. The words that Xie Yan said swirled in his mind, and the strange feeling became heavier and heavier, and he turned his head and looked at the woman who was sleeping deeply.
Remembering her reaction when they met for the first time, she knelt down directly when she saw him, and he always remembered this in his heart, what kind of environment could make her kneel down to a man who had never been masked? But if you replace this scene with the dream she said tonight, it seems to be a perfect match.
Because she knew that she was the emperor, and she had served by his side for more than ten years, her first reaction when she saw him must have been to kneel down and say goodbye.
But there is a logical and temporal error in this matter. Although some of the other things she said really shocked him, those things that had happened in the court, or had not happened yet, she had lived in the boudoir for a long time, and she should not know as much as she could, but she was able to say the Tao, which in itself was unusual. Although she used dreams as a rhetoric, and there were some subtleties to hide, what she said was true, and Shen Xi could be sure.
Thinking of her fear and defense against herself at the beginning, Shen Xi seemed to have a plausible answer in her heart, which was appalling and whimsical when she thought about it, but in fact it was so correct.
Looking at her sleeping, Shen Xi couldn't help but reach out and caress her smooth and white cheeks, and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.
Listening to what this stupid girl said, Shen Xi can be sure that she must like her very much in her dreams, but why hasn't he shown his heart to her for so many years? Let this stupid girl misunderstand and puzzle.
Is it because of his old hidden illness?
Yes. It must be because of that hidden illness that he can't have that impulse towards women, even if he is facing a woman he likes like this, so in her dreams, he has never had a posterity.
Although he felt that his wife's 'dream' was really whimsical, Shen Xi had an indescribable feeling that his wife's dream had happened โกโก ten times, and why he had such a certain feeling, even he couldn't say clearly.
******
When Xie Yan woke up, it was already afternoon Shen Shi, Hua Yizhu Qing came to tie the veil for her, Xie Yan rubbed her eyes, heard Kang Ning's giggling laughter in the yard, Zhu Qing came in to wash her face, and said:
"Childe went out early in the morning, and told us not to wake up Madame."
Xie Yan's face flushed, nodded, sat down in front of the dresser, saw the white jade comb, and remembered what she said to Shen Xi last night, although it was told to him in a dream, but how much did he believe, would he doubt it, and after doubting, would he be cold to her?
She privately concealed her infatuation with Li Zhen in her previous life, and also concealed the fact that she was married out of the palace by him, and the dream she told was her company with him for more than ten years, she respected him and loved him, although it did not involve the feelings of men and women, but, in that cold palace, who can say that there is no affection between them.
If it weren't for her desperate identification of Li Zhen, perhaps, she would have been one of the many beauties in his harem in her last life.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Ning got out of bed and washed, walked to the yard, and saw the nurse holding Kang Ning in the yard to see the flowers, Kang Ning was wearing tiger-headed cloth shoes on his feet, and was toddler on the ground, holding the nurse with both hands, and saw Xie Yan coming from under the porch, Kang Ning jumped on the ground excitedly, making a hey, hey, hey,
Xie Yan walked over, hugged him, and incense a fragrance on his soft cheeks, since Kang Ning went out of the palace with them, the emperor often called him into the palace, in addition to a few nurses invited by Xie Yan, Emperor Tianhe also sent him a few experienced grandmothers from the palace to be responsible for Kang Ning's daily life.
Xie Yan personally took the child, and the grandmothers waited on the side, and Zhu Qing saw that Xie Yan personally hugged the child and came up to persuade: "Madam, the little boy can be pressed now, you should hand it over to the slaves and maids to hug." โ
Because of Xie Yan's insistence, everyone in Canglan Yuan still calls Xie Yan Madame, calling Shen Xi and Kang Ning both sons and little sons.
Xie Yan smiled at her, and did not let Kang Ning go, among the flowers, Xie Yan looked at the two people who were waiting behind her, and I don't know when, the two skinny little girls also grew into graceful big girls.
"Flowers and bamboos are almost eighteen this year. Have you ever thought about what to do in the future? โ
Xie Yan found a flower pavilion to sit down, let Kangning sit on her lap, and took off the Yingluo hanging from her neck for him to play with.
Hua Yizhuqing didn't expect Xie Yan to suddenly ask them this question, and after glancing at each other, both of them turned red.
They are not too young, and the rules in the house are that the maid is released at the age of twenty to marry someone, which can be given by the master, and there are also enlightened masters who will ask them their own wishes.
Although Huayi Zhuqing is Xie Yan's maidservant, the three of them can be said to have grown up together and have a deep friendship, so Xie Yan naturally has to plan for them in advance.
Huayi was more outstanding, and he was a little embarrassed at this time, and said, "Madam, what are you talking about?" Me, I...... Don't marry, serve your wife all your life. โ
Zhuqing bit her lip and didn't speak, but her face was flushed, and she looked like she had a crush on someone.
Before Xie Yan could speak, Kang Ning made a few babbling sounds in his mouth, and then grabbed the hair that was scattered on Xie Yan's cheeks and sent it to his mouth, and the three masters and servants had to stop these embarrassing words and revolve around this young master.
There was a sudden commotion at the gate of Canglan Garden, and a maid came to report, panicked and speechless, and said:
"Madam, the prince was attacked on the way back, and he disappeared with the Nie guards, and Zhao Ye was injured and carried back."
Xie Yan stood up with Kang Ning in her arms, frowned and asked, "What?" โ
Shen Xi was attacked and disappeared? So who brought the injured Zhao Sanbao back? Nie Rong is martial arts Although Xie Yan has not seen it with his own eyes, but the position of the head of the forbidden army and the head of the imperial guards in the previous life is not for nothing, take 10,000 steps back and say, as long as Shen Xi and Nie Rong are together, Xie Rong is not so worried.
I just don't understand, Shen Xi is planning to lure the snake out of the hole, or does he have any other plans.
There was a mess in his mind, so he went to the bamboo garden where the guards lived to visit the injured Zhao Sanbao, and was startled by Yin Hong, who he โกโก, and behind Xie Yan, a small exclamation came out, Zhu Qing looked at Zhao Sanbao, who was pale and rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but be so frightened that his legs were weak, and he held on to the door frame, and couldn't stand up for a long time.
