Chapter 342: Avoiding It
I don't know how long it took, and the hustle and bustle faintly coming from outside Yulan Hall fell silent, as if the sky was about to never see again.
"Brother!" , a hesitant call sounded outside the door of the east compartment.
In the dark, Xiao Ze, who was kneeling in front of Xu Hou's couch, slowly turned his head.
Originally, when the overall situation was decided, Xiao Hong planned to run back to his wife and children immediately. But after seeing Lu Shou's ghost-like expression outside the door of the east compartment, his steps unconsciously went in the opposite direction.
Xiao Ze got up and wanted to move, but before he could rub his numb legs, he was firmly hugged by his younger brother.
"Brother, Xie Lu Xie!"
The tension of returning and the excitement of becoming a new father are intertwined, making people's steps flutter, their voices trembling, and their behavior as if they were immersed in a cloud of heat. It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Hong remembered to thank his brother who protected his wife and children.
What should I answer? Xiao Ze opened his mouth, but he just stared blankly at the faint light in the west room opposite, and patted his younger brother's sturdy back with his backhand.
"You're hurt?!" , Xiao Ze's hand was immediately retracted with thick doubts.
Xiao Hong hummed embarrassedly and explained, "It's already an old injury from a while ago. ”
For a few months, the gray-clothed man who followed Xu Yu and kidnapped him from Jianyang to Nanzhao, and then hurried back to Luojing from Nanzhao.
The rescued Xu Yu is still seriously injured and left in the team of Emperor Jing's suburbs, although the mother and son of Man Yun and the eldest brother in the Yulan Hall have experienced danger, they are still safe, everything at this time is enough to make him grateful for the gift of God.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but ask a few more details about Emperor Jing's Xiao Rui being able to escape the rebellion outside the city.
Xiao Hong's gaze couldn't help but fall over the eldest brother's shoulders to the couch, although he had come and gone in a hurry before, he also knew that the Empress Xu was there.
"Mother is asleep.". Xiao Ze whispered to dispel his brother's concerns.
Even if Empress Xu was awake, he couldn't overreact to the brother's conversation, and he didn't plan to tell Xiao Hong the truth right now.
"Dad, there was no major incident there because Xu Shida, the Duke of Weiguo, was taken down before it was launched, and it was Xu Shiyuan who was the first to sue him."
The maternal uncle, who was usually mediocre, came forward to denounce the conspiracy between Empress Xu and Wei Guogong. Hearing such an answer, Xiao Ze put his mind at ease, and looked at his mother lying on the couch, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.
Compared with He Kun, the Duke of Rongguo, who was lured but killed by Emperor Jing in a hand-to-hand encounter, Xu Shida, the Duke of Weiguo, who was taken, was more responsible. But he and the Xu family have an extra chance of life.
"Mingyun! No matter how my father will be convicted in the end, I want to save the Patriotic Mansion and the life of my mother. Xiao Ze squeezed Xiao Hong's hand hard.
The fairness of sentencing was put aside for the time being, and Xiao Ze wanted to selfishly make up for his mother.
Hearing the truth of the eldest brother's emotion, Xiao Hong's lips moved, and then nodded and said softly: "I...... I guess my father will be open to the Xu family, and even ...... will even hide the sins of the Xu family first, and then let Wei Guogong come forward to surrender and resign. He set an example for the DPRK and China. ”
Xiao Ze's gaze rested on Xiao Hong's face seriously for a while before patting his younger brother's shoulder vigorously.
For a long time before, Emperor Jing always pressed his uncle Wei Guogong Xu Shida to be a bird, such as when Tianxiang was in turmoil, he was asked to throw out his concubine who might be innocent at all.
For such a major event as the resignation of the army, Xiao Rui naturally hinted at Xu Shida, who has always cooperated tacitly.
But the Patriotic Guild compromised under the obsession of Empress Xu, and after getting to the bottom of it, it was still reluctant. I forgot how the Xiao family, who started as Chen Chaoguo's uncle and Guogong, could have similar relatives in the court.
"When my father and emperor return to the city with his ministers, he should call the emperor's brother to discuss the conditions with the Xu family. You can relax. Avoiding the burning gaze of the eldest brother. Xiao Hong felt a little uneasy for no reason.
"The queen mother's rebellion contacted the families to fake the prince's order! If I can't protect myself, ......", Xiao Ze grabbed Xiao Hong's arm and bit it seriously: "If you want to save the lives of your mother and the Xu family, you can't save yourself by relying on them alone, you have to rely on you!" ”
"My brother has a life, I will do my best!" , Xiao Hong responded with a hearty smile.
"Xiao Hong!". Xiao Ze roared angrily, "You know what I'm talking about. First and then later! No matter what, among the jade, you are the queen mother's son-in-law, and the Xu family is also your mother's family. ”
The night that had been quiet suddenly became solemn.
"Mingyun, you know in your heart that if you didn't force you to enter the city. The Father Emperor will not give the Tiger Talisman to anyone. He will only let Li Yu wait for the queen mother of Qingning Palace to really fall out of the East Palace, and then take action to rectify it after catching the evidence. It's just that no one expected that the queen would bring the remnants of Nanzhao, who was accustomed to Gu poison, over. ”
Father Xiao Rui has a different partiality for Xiao Hong since he was a child, and all the sons of the Xiao family know that if it weren't for Xiao Hong, Xiao Rui's talisman would not have been given at all.
A little selfishness of his father, the moment he saw the birth of the child in Xinuan Pavilion, Xiao Ze understood it very well.
Xiao Hong replied with a little shyness: "Big brother! At that time, I pestered my father to enter the city, and I was only worried about Man Yun and the child. Don't think too much about it now, it's more important to take care of your body first! ”
"I once told my father that even if I was lucky enough to recover, I had no intention of falling in love with power. Birth, old age, sickness and death are suffering, and I really want to enter the empty door to seek liberation. ”
"Brother! I've heard my dad say that. ”
Xiao Hong's warm palm rested heavily on Xiao Ze's shoulder, and shook his head in disagreement with him, "But if you want to protect the queen mother and the Xu family, you have to come by yourself." The eldest brother still has to think about the future for the Han'er brothers, and he can't expect that the uncle who became the emperor will really treat the nephew who once had a prince's father? ”
"You can!"
"Brother! The human heart is fickle! I wouldn't dare bet. Xiao Hong reached out and pressed his chest, grinning sincerely at Xiao Ze, "Besides, I'm lazy." I just hope that I can be taken care of by my father and brother for the rest of my life. ”
What's the point of pretending to be a lifetime? Unexpectedly remembering what Man Yun had said, Xiao Hong stared at Xiao Hong who was about to leave.
The faint smile of the young man on the other side was still clean and heartless.
"If you want to see the children, let's go and change into clean clothes first!"
Xiao Hong nodded sharply as if he had been amnestied, and the figure that flew out of the door seemed to be avoiding the flood beast.
The lights of the West Warm Pavilion emit a warm light, and it is warm and tempting......
The new lady leaning on the couch looked down at the child in her arms, and couldn't pull out her eyes for a moment.
Because of the regrets of the past life and the danger of childbirth in this life. Zhou Manyun did not prepare a nurse, she wanted to nurse her child herself.
With Xiaoman's patient guidance and gentle comfort, although the little one's first meal was very difficult to toss for a while, it finally allowed the clumsy mother to complete the task of opening milk.
Perhaps, it wasn't until this moment that the luck of the sky came all over again that it really came round.
Man Yun unconsciously twitched the tip of his red nose. Stabilize his mind and look left and right at the child sleeping in his arms, and deliberately hide his joy after the end, sigh regretfully and say: "Brother is like a little old man, weird and ugly." ”
"Nonsense! How handsome the little brother looks! Xiao Man glared at the unscrupulous little lady with disgust, and made a gesture to take the child away from Man Yun's arms, but she didn't expect that the person who came up behind her was a step faster than her, and even squeezed her away unceremoniously.
"The kid doesn't look good right now!" , Huan Huan echoed Man Yun's evaluation. Xiao Hong, who hugged his son lightly, bent a pair of eyebrows and eyes into a crescent moon with a smile, "But with me as a model for him, he will naturally grow and become more and more handsome." ”
Man Yun's hand struck her husband's arm hard, and her apricot eyes glared angrily. Her child can only be told whether it is not, even if it is a father.
An An put the child on the couch steadily, Xiao Hong took Man Yun's head with one hand and kissed her smooth forehead gently.
The newborn little guy came about half a month early, and in order to make the labor process as smooth as possible and to avoid trouble, Manyun deliberately controlled his diet in the month of labor, so the child who fell to the ground did not fully grow and showed a white and chubby appearance.
The little red face is wrinkled. The small ears are almost transparent and curled up at the side of the head, and the small hands and feet are slender and slender. There are still bluish spots on the back and buttocks.
"My father once said that I was even uglier when I was born!" , Xiao Hong pressed against Man Yun's forehead and whispered comfort: "Master has diagnosed and said that the child's bones are healthy, everything is fine, and we will naturally get better and better if we take good care of him from now on." ”
"Really?" , Man Yun raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Really! Believe me, by the time the moon is full, he'll be white and fat, and he'll grow three or four inches long...... It's just that the blue spots on the buttocks are estimated to be completely fading after the age of four or five. ”
looked at Xiao Hong's eyes shining and gestured. Man Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "These are all taught by the master? ”
"Not exactly. When I was in Gangnam, I also read a few pediatric medical books. Xiao Hong stopped, and then said proudly: "In order to prevent you from saying that I am talking on paper, from today onwards, I will stay by your mother and son to let you see and understand." ”
After waiting for a while, the child cooperated with the father and cried at the right time.
Xiao Hong, who seized the opportunity to practice, immediately followed Xiaoman as an apprentice. Holding a diaper with yellow-green meconium is like holding a magnificent treasure.
Zhou Manyun looked at her cautious husband, unconsciously curled her lips towards the shang, and smiled comfortably.
The landing of the pregnancy on October does not mean that the merit is complete, but it starts a longer, harder and happier journey.
Man Yun knew that the man who regretted not being able to see the birth of the child was trying his best to close the intimate distance between father and son, so she simply let him be tired of being a cow and a horse.
The corners of Xiaoman's eyes were slightly moist, and he stretched out his hand to greet the small bridge standing on the side. They quietly retreated, leaving the warmth in the warm pavilion to a family of three.
After turning the corner, Xiao Man couldn't help but worry about whether his aunt would be worried about whether they came to the Prince's Mansion and let Xiao Ze enter Man Yun's delivery room, but now it seems that the worry is purely superfluous.
"Man Yun, how many days will it take for you and the child to go home?" Seeing that everyone in the room had dispersed, Xiao Hong quietly bit the root of Man Yun's ear.
"We'll move tomorrow!" , Zhou Manyun thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "After all, this is the Prince's East Palace." ”
The East Palace where Man Yun lived when he was in distress, at this time, the conscienceless little couple avoided it together. (To be continued......)
