Xuan'er saw that Ji Xiaotang was awake, and immediately cracked her little ~ mouth and laughed, stretching out her chubby little arm to wrap her arms around Ji Xiaotang's neck, and at the same time putting her little ~ face on Ji Xiaotang's face.

Ji Xiaotang's heart suddenly softened, and he let Xuan'er put his arms around her neck and rub against her face.

"Mom, mother......" Xuan'er called in a milky voice.

"Xuan'er woke up, why don't you wake up your mother." Ji Xiaotang kissed Xuan'er on the cheek and asked with a smile.

Xuan'er shouted her mother again, and then kicked and kicked her little ~ legs and giggled.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

The two of them made a fuss like this for a while before Ji Xiaotang got up.

Mama Cheng and the others had already heard the movement, but they didn't come forward to disturb, and now they saw Ji Xiaotang getting up, so they came forward to serve.

Ji Xiaotang freshened up first, and then wiped Xuan'er's hands and face in person.

Taking care of Xuan'er like this, Ji Xiaotang asked Mama Cheng.

"When did the prince get up, where did he go, but did he leave anything behind?"

Mama Cheng reported to Ji Xiaotang: "The prince got up early in the morning and ordered not to disturb the princess and the little prince. The prince went to the front, saying that there seemed to be news about yesterday's incident. ”

Hearing that there was news about yesterday's incident, Ji Xiaotang was shocked.

"Please come and have breakfast." After packing up, Ji Xiaotang ordered to go down.

Regardless of whether the matter is checked or not, the meal always has to be eaten. When Qin Zhen is busy, he often forgets to eat, so Ji Xiaotang is very attentive in this regard.

In order to make Qin Zhen pay more attention. Ji Xiaotang didn't just send someone over, but deliberately arranged for Jin'er to go to the front to find Jin'er.

Jin'er is one of her most confidants, not only very decent in front of everyone in the palace. Even Qin Zhen treats her differently than others. And Jin'er has a pungent temperament and dares to speak the most.

Not long after Jin'er went, she really brought Qin Zhen back.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang, then at Xuan'er, and asked with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang didn't know if Qin Zhen had rested last night, but she thought that Qin Zhen probably hadn't closed his eyes at all. But even so. Qin Zhen's face did not show the slightest hint of exhaustion.

Qin Zhen not only did not look tired, but also had a smile on his face, as if what happened yesterday was just a nightmare. Although Ji Xiaotang knew that it was not.

Such a Qin Zhen is admired by Ji Xiaotang in his heart.

"I haven't been up for long, and I've rested enough. Xuan'er woke up earlier than me......" Speaking of Xuan'er waking up early, Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen with relief and pride. How did Xuan'er wake up early? But he looked at her quietly, and did not wake her.

"Okay," Qin Zhen picked up Xuan'er and kissed Xuan'er on the top of her hair, "Good son, now I know that I feel sorry for my mother~ kiss, and I will definitely have a chance in the future." ”

Xuan'er giggled.

"What's going on?" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen and asked.

A dark cloud flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Let's eat first,......" Qin Zhen ordered someone to put breakfast on the table.

Ji Xiaotang thought about it. I didn't continue to ask.

Qin Zhen will always tell her. And the reason why Qin Zhen refused to tell her before breakfast was because he was worried that it would affect her appetite. And Qin Zhen's calm attitude now also shows one thing.

Qin Zhen had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. And make a decision.

Ji Xiaotang chose to believe Qin Zhen.

After breakfast in this way, Xuan'er also ate and drank to her heart's content, sat on the kang, took toys and played.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang sat opposite each other on the kang, and the two slowly tasted hot tea while talking.

“…… The person who conveyed the instructions to the should be Zheng Zi. Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was surprised at first, and then felt that such a true ~ appearance should have been expected.

"Is it true?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Qin Zhen nodded, it was about Zheng Zi and the forces behind Zheng Zi, if such a thing was not very true, Qin Zhen would never say it.

"In the early years, there was a case in the palace where the palace concubine used Gu insects to harm people out of jealousy, and the palace concubine's family used to have a close relationship with the Zheng family. The Miao wizard finally did not know what to do, and there are clues that he was rescued by the Zheng family and hid in his home. ”

The Zheng family is the one who is most likely to possess harmful Gu worms.

Speaking of Zheng Zi, Ji Xiaotang had a somewhat complicated mood.

Zheng Zi has a family tradition of the Zheng family, and he is exquisite, and he pays attention to reality. At the beginning, Zheng Zi still had some thoughts of competing with her for favor, but he quickly realized the reality and dispelled this idea. In the past two years, what Zheng Zi wants most is to be pregnant with Qin Zhen's flesh and blood, and also give birth to a little prince.

For this purpose, Zheng Zi also took risks. After the matter was revealed, she completely lost her favor, and Qin Zhen never went to her house again.

Even if Zheng Zi gave up the idea, assassinating Xuan'er would not be of much benefit to her.

But what Zheng Zi represents is not herself, she is just the spokesperson of the forces behind her.

"The three sisters of the Zheng family are ......, and they are handsome, it seems that the Zheng family has made a choice."

What Zheng Zi did today, when she saw the fate of Concubine Zheng Guifei, she should have expected it.

The fate of Concubine Zheng shows that the Zheng family has given up on the one in the palace. Today, Zheng Zi instructed someone to attack Xuan'er, which shows that the Zheng family has also given up on King An's Mansion.

"The Zheng family has this ability, can they cultivate such a dead soldier?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

The answer to this sentence didn't need Qin Zhen to tell her.

The force chosen by the Zheng family is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and it is also one of the only forces that can take precautions, cultivate such dead soldiers, and send them to King An's Mansion.

As Ji Xiaotang had a faint hunch, Zheng Gui's promise was just a beginning, a beginning of trying to paralyze Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang and get rid of Xuan'er as soon as possible.

"Things have come to this point...... Ji Xiaotang didn't sigh, but just sighed a little.

Qin Zhen was also silent for a moment.

Such tension. It is something that none of them want to see, but they can't avoid it, and they can't avoid it.

"What is the prince going to do?"

"I have already sent someone to Zheng's house to pick up Zheng Zi back in your name." Qin Zhen said. Apparently there is already a calculation in mind.

"What about the palace?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

"This matter is between me and Qin Lin, there is no need to alarm the palace." Qin Zhen didn't hesitate at all.

When Qin Zhen said this, he had his considerations, Ji Xiaotang didn't ask much, and nodded in response.

Soon, someone from outside came in to report it. said that Concubine Zheng was back, so she was waiting outside.

"Got people back so soon?" Ji Xiaotang was not surprised, but still asked.

Zheng Zi came back so soon. It only represents one thing. The Zheng family did not leave the palace to pick up people's descendants. In this way, they handed over Zheng Zi to Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

Does it mean that you have a clear conscience and want to try your luck?

Or rather, they gave up on Zheng Zi.

"I don't want to see her." Ji Xiaotang only said this sentence.

"Okay." Qin Zhen nodded.

In the first month of the spring of the twelfth year of Longqing, Zheng Zi, the concubine of King An's Mansion, was in contact with her relatives on the same day. Contracted in his mother's house. He was immediately taken back to King An's mansion, and because of his serious illness, he was sent to Jingci Nunnery to recuperate.

On the second day after arriving at Jingci'an, Concubine Zheng was lost due to the aggravation of her illness and the ineffectiveness of the medicine stone, and she was only eighteen years old, and her body was quickly burned because of various taboos. King An's Mansion only held a simple funeral for this side concubine.

Concubine Zheng's death is like a small pebble thrown into the big lake. There was only a slight stir up, and it soon calmed down.

An Wangfu quickly forgot about this person, while the Zheng family was quieter, as if there was no such daughter.

On the second day of the second month of February, the little prince of Su Wangfu traveled with Su Wang Qin Lin and Su Princess Zheng Gui, and was startled halfway, but fortunately, the guards rescued in time, and one of the guards treated each other with his body, saving Xiao Shizi at the same time, but he died under the horse's hooves.

Qin Yu was injured, Princess Su Zheng Gui was frightened, and Qin Lin was furious.

……

Cining Palace

Empress Dowager Han leaned on the pillow comfortably, but her ears did not relax for a moment, and she listened to every word of Manager Zhang's words in her heart.

Qin Yu's going out shocked the capital, and naturally it also alarmed the palace. Knowing that Qin Yu was injured, Empress Dowager Han immediately sent her confidant Manager Zhang to Suwang's Mansion to greet her.

At this moment, she was listening to Manager Zhang's report and what she had seen and heard in King Su's Mansion.

After Manager Zhang finished speaking, Empress Dowager Han seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

"Yu'er's injury, you have seen it for yourself, does it matter?" Empress Dowager Han asked Manager Zhang.

"Xiao's opinion is the same as that of the imperial doctor, but it is just some skin trauma, which looks scary, but it is not a big problem, and it will be good to take care of it for a few days." Qin Yu's injuries didn't matter, but he was really frightened.

Also frightened was Princess Su Zheng Gui.

Empress Dowager Han nodded, but there were still some shortcomings. Qin Yu turned out to be just a skin injury, and Zheng Gui was only a little frightened, this is not enough, far from enough.

"You just said that King Su disposed of bad people?" Empress Dowager Han asked again.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, yes." Because of Qin Yu's shocking trip, Qin Lin was furious, not only cleaning up all the people who served around Qin Yu, but also cleaning up the people in the palace.

In this cleanup, Qin Lin reversed his usual gentle image, but used a means that can be called a thunderbolt.

"I'd rather kill the wrong one and not let it go, good, good," Empress Dowager Han said in a loud voice, "I just want them to make a fuss like this a few times, and I don't have to do it, it's really good." ”

"The Queen Mother is clever, everything is in the control of the Queen Mother." Manager Zhang immediately said flatteringly.

Empress Dowager Han was a little proud.

"What has happened on King An's side in the past two days?"

"There's no movement, it's business as usual." Mr. Zhang replied.

"Oh," the smile on Empress Dowager Han's face condensed a little, and her face became a little complicated, "They are quite able to calm down. ”

"Yes, but compared with Prince Su, it seems to be too soft~ soft."

"What do you know?" Empress Dowager Han reprimanded, and then her tone slowly calmed down, "This is the power of their husband and wife." ”

Compared with Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang's calmness, Qin Lin seemed to be resolute, but he fell behind.

"Think about it, what should be done, Ji Xiaotang, have they ever done one less? Zheng Zi is a side concubine, and if she says that she will be killed, she will be killed. The Zheng family didn't dare to say a word, even if it was me, I couldn't pick out anything about them, so I could only turn a blind eye. ”

"But King Su's place, his handling of this will inevitably chill the hearts of his own people, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is also in chaos, compared to King An, it is much inferior."

"The queen mother's lesson is that the little ones are shallow, where can they see this." Mr. Zhang listened respectfully, and then bowed down and said with a flattering smile.

This time, Empress Dowager Han ignored him.

Empress Dowager Han fell into deep thought.

After a while, she slowly came back to her senses and said to herself: "If it weren't for ...... I don't have a choice, I really don't want to hold them up, compared to Qin Lin, they are much more difficult to deal with. ”

If it weren't for the hatred between her and Qin Lin, she would definitely not choose to support Qin Zhen, but would choose to support Qin Lin to deal with Qin Zhen.

used Qin Lin to kill Qin Zhen, and then Qin Lin was much easier to deal with.

But Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang ......

One day, she was only afraid that she would have to be 100,000 careful so that she would not be counterattacked.

"Queen Mother, shouldn't we also take the opportunity to add a fire......" Manager Zhang looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Han and suggested with a smile.

"Naturally, I want it." Empress Dowager Han sneered.

……

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, although there is still some chill in the wind, but the willow trees by the lake have already sprouted green buds, and spring is really coming.

On this day, Ji Xiaotang was sitting on the kang with Xuan'er in the Xuchun Hall, and Qin Ying stood under the kang, reciting the sound rhythm enlightenment aloud for Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er.

Xuan'er was in Ji Xiaotang's arms, waving her little hands while babbling behind Qin Ying.

After reciting all the sound rhythm enlightenment, Qin Ying approached Ji Xiaotang with a smile, grabbed Xuan'er's little hand and played with it in her hand, and asked Ji Xiaotang: "Mother, so that Xuan'er can understand it, will she follow along?" ”

"The more you read it, the more he will be able to understand it and learn a few words. That's how I took your little uncle when he was so old. You see that your little uncle is studying now, is he smarter than other children? ”

The example of immortality was so convincing that Qin Ying nodded heavily.

"Mother, then I will often come to read to Xuan'er in the future, okay?" Qin Ying meant that she really wanted to learn from Ji Xiaotang.

She saw how Ji Xiaotang and the immortal siblings got along with each other, and she was very envious in her heart. She wants to learn from Ji Xiaotang and hopes that Xuan'er will be a younger brother like Changsheng.

"If you want, don't be tired, that's good." Ji Xiaotang responded with a smile.

"Mother, of course I am willing, I don't feel tired, Xuan'er is so cute, let me accompany him all the time, I am willing." Qin Ying said, just take a bite and kiss Xuan'er's little ~ face.

Xuan'er immediately giggled. (To be continued.) )
