The young man who was asleep was lying on his side on the couch, his horns pressed under his arms, his long eyelashes hanging like wings, and his cheeks were shallow with the pears of the cheeks.

"How old a man is, he still sleeps like a child." , Xiao Rui, who was sitting on the edge of Xiao Hong's couch, touched his son's forehead and sighed softly, very loving.

The aftermath of the sigh was especially there, Xiao Rui's gaze fell on the pillows behind Xiao Hong, and then, he turned around and looked at his daughter-in-law standing beside him suspiciously.

"Father, this is for fear that he will turn over and press the wound." , Zhou Manyun's eyes stared at the tip of his nose, and the voice of his answer was almost inaudible.

Xiao Hong's back seems to be born with a grudge.

Xia Kou's cane wound was good, and when he arrived in Luojing, he was pulled with a sword, and he couldn't tell the reason happily, which really made people feel extremely depressed.

Xiao Rui glanced at Zhou Manyun seriously, and asked with a soft smile, "Have you helped him retreat his wounds?" What about the injury? ”

"Yes. The wound was slashed diagonally from two inches above the waist to the back, about five inches long, but fortunately only the flesh was injured in time to dodge. ”

"Hmmm! Is it because he is so asleep and does not wake up because the medicine he is taking has the effect of calming his nerves? It can't be harmful, right? ”

"Back to Daddy, the prescription was prescribed by Dr. Qi Heng, and it is exactly the right symptom. Sleep more is better for your husband to heal his wounds. ”

One question and one answer is like a homely conversation, Xiao Rui, who cares about his son, asks a lot of trivial questions......

"Hong'er's white clothes, what did you do with them?"

"My daughter-in-law has burned it with her own hands!"

As soon as the words came out, Man Yun, who had a sudden feeling of bad feeling in his heart, couldn't pretend to be honest anymore, raised his head, and his eyes met Xiao Rui, who was looking at her with a clear expression.

"Sure enough, Xiaoliu won't hide anything from you. The life of the family is entrusted to the woman's ......", Xiao Rui's sigh is clear. With a strange smile on his face that could not be distinguished, he slowly turned away, and his fingers resting on the couch tapped gently.

"Father! It was the daughter-in-law who recognized herself! Zhou Manyun quickly knelt on the ground.

Husband and wife are one, entrusting each other's lives, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. But she also understands that according to the common conditions of the world. Husbands who trust their wives too much often lose points in front of their elders who value blood relatives more.

"Heaven helps. Zhou, what did you say to those officials and their daughters on Suzaku Street? At that time, you already recognized Little Liu? Xiao Rui stared at the kneeling woman in front of him, and no longer went around in circles to ask directly.

"Yes!"

"With the help of God, this is a good saying." , Xiao Rui's gaze swept over the top of Man Yun's hair, and similarly swept over the other sons who came in with him to visit the patient, and called in a deep voice: "Jimin, you know how to arrange it next, right?" ”

"Jimin will arrange to meet with Du and Zhou from the Hanlin Academy later. Please send a poem. Xiao Ze's answer was respectful.

In other words, the story of "white-clothed" is estimated to come out tomorrow, and the poetry for folk braggadocio will take shape. It should be a blessing to know that the story is not the first of the people, but from the hands of everyone who is brilliant in literature?

It's just that this matter is over, which means that Xiao Hong's actions have once again become dust hidden under the history books. Fame is like a floating cloud, and he is afraid that the ashes that accumulate will bury his life that should be brilliant.

Zhou Manyun, who was kneeling on the ground, crossed the tired desolation in his eyes, and his heart was slightly sour. His eyes flashed and flashed, and he gritted his teeth and raised his head to look at Xiao Rui, who quickly responded to his eldest son with a relieved smile.

"Can the father tell his daughter-in-law why she has to do this?"

"Daddy! It doesn't seem fair to let Xiaoliu do white work in this way! ”

Voices sounded almost at the same time. The corner of Zhou Manyun's eyes couldn't help but catch a glimpse of Xiao Yuan's uneven black face.

Except for Xiao Ba, who was still leading troops outside the city, and the sons of the Xiao family in Luojing were now gathered in Xiao Hong's bedroom, but except for Xiao Laosan, who hadn't figured it out yet, Xiao Ze and Xiao Zhan all looked like they were comprehending and unfathomable.

His own question has no weight, but it would be nice if Xiao Ruiken answered Xiao Yuan's protest. Zhou Manyun clenched his fists and counted the moments. Quietly waiting for Xiao Rui to give a clear answer in front of the sons.

"The reason why Bengong asked Xiaoliu to persuade Jian Huai, you know!" After a long time, Xiao Rui snorted firmly and slowly stood up from the couch where he was sitting.

"You know that, too!" This sentence has turned to the few sons standing beside him, staring at Xiao Yuan's gaze as if there is a dark fire.

"You know! From now on, it will rot in the stomach, and you can't mention it again! Can't let the world know that this father is holding on to Jian Huai's filthy greed for Empress Mingzhao, so he makes this decision? Compared with the name of her sister behind her, Xiaoliu can only suffer a little grievance! ”

Compared with Xiao Hong's previous vague answer, the reason why Xiao Rui drank it was a direct revelation of Empress Mingzhao's old privacy, but is it really just that? Zhou Manyun stared at the black cloud boots that stopped in front of her, and always felt that the meaning of "Honggui" was still entangled.

"Jimin!" , Xiao Rui stared at Man Yun with cold eyes, but he called his eldest son in his mouth, and said sharply: "You write it down for me, and if someone else has this matter with Xiaoliu in the future, no matter who it is, don't worry about killing it!" As long as the world knows what to know, curiosity is self-defeating! ”

Is that last word a warning to yourself? Zhou Manyun's knees were sore for a while, he closed his eyes lightly, and respectfully bowed to the footsteps that moved away from him.

Jing Guogong, who was angry, stepped out of Xiao Hong's bedroom, and the guards who were originally guarding around immediately followed the father and son and walked towards the door of the small courtyard.

Lu Shou, who happened to enter the door, put his body close to the courtyard wall, hugged the amethyst he had just found in his arms, and peeked at Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, and the others who came over, with complicated feelings.

He is a eunuch, and the six-room couple does not let him avoid the inner courtyard in order to show their closeness. But it was precisely because of the proximity that the disappointment that lingered in Lu Shou's heart became more obvious.

The affairs of the DPRK and China have long wings, and they are all in the ears of the people. Although the official edict has not been issued, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the matter of Jingguo Gong entering King Jing has been certain. As for the reward for meritorious deeds, his sons also held the authority.

In the court meeting where the Xiao family showed their strength, Xiao Ze and Xiao Yuan were both in the hall, and Xiao Zhan, who led the army to guard the palace, could not be ignored.

And what is Xiao Hong doing with him? Lu Shou had a wry smile on his face.

followed Zhou Manyun back, and watched the woman enter the inner room and lock the door for half a ring, and felt strange. Ask the people left behind in the courtyard again. Xiao Hong, who was supposed to be in the court, was already wrapped in an old cloak and came back from outside with a look of pity.

Because of the hand-to-hand fight, Lu Shou knew that the six sons of the Xiao family, who were a little sick and weak in the eyes of outsiders, were not the kind of masters who fell when they went out and saw the wind. But because of this, I was even more worried that he was disgusted by Jing Guogong.

Do you want to venture to find Jian Huai, who has been strictly controlled and imprisoned, to ask what is going on? Lu Shou was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

"Grandpa Lu!" , In the call of Xiao Rui's raised voice, Lu Shou reacted quickly and bowed.

"Fifteen years of Yongde. When my grandfather met you in the Luojing Palace, you were only a child with your grandfather, nine years old? Xiao Rui, who stopped in front of Lu Shou, showed regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that Lu Zheng died in Xiakou." ”

Although he was on guard, thinking of his grandfather, Lu Shou's eyes couldn't help but immediately burst with clear ripples.

"Alas!". Xiao Rui's thick and warm palm slapped the little eunuch's shoulder without hesitation, and said sincerely: "Gonggong Lu, the first emperor once promised Chief Manager Lu to accompany the mausoleum to be buried, and now it is not a matter for him to be alone in Xiakou. If my father wants to come, I still have to invite him back as soon as possible. ”

Let grandpa be buried in the emperor's mausoleum? Lu Shou's eyes with dark tears in his eyes couldn't help but yearn for the drop, kneeling down to thank him, "Great grace of the country!" If you have to move your grandfather back to Luojing, Xiao Shou'er will be grateful......"

"In a few days, the Japanese government will arrange for people to go to Xiakou. However, when the time comes, I will have to work hard for my father-in-law Lu himself. ”

The young eunuch cried on the ground and motionless escorted the team of Jing Guogong's father and son away.

And along the way, according to Xiao Rui's orders, someone gradually left the team. The number of people is gradually decreasing. When he returned to Xiao Rui's study in the main courtyard, only Xiao Rui and Xiao Ze were left.

"Jimin, did you see that? Whether it is a peerless master who has been practicing as a monk for decades, or an internal official whose roots have been abolished, as long as there are emotions that cannot be let go of in his heart, he is the weakness that he will be used by people in a clear manner. Knowing that it is bait. will also swallow it willingly. ”

"Jimin understands!" , Xiao Ze, who was standing next to the desk, lowered his eyes, and responded calmly.

"Understood? Then you can take back this marching plan that you have been ordered to summon and do it again! ”。 Xiao Rui flipped out a pile of paper on the case, and the tip of his armor pinched heavily on the lines of ink that were spread out.

"Father means...... Is it to replace the little six? Xiao Ze's eyes crossed a trace of unbearability, and he said softly: "With the ability of the sixth brother, it is enough to lead the army independently." ”

"Xiao Jimin! Xiaoliu is also your weakness, right? You're only six years older than him, but since you were a child, sometimes you just treat yourself as his own father! The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth were filled with self-deprecating disdain, his eyes were slightly closed tiredly, and he said softly: "As soon as he suffered, he felt wronged when he looked at it, so he wanted to immediately stuff delicious meat to compensate him." ”

In the original marching plan, the area of Hedong, which was closest to Luojing and the best to get military merits, was indeed assigned to Xiaoliu. Xiao Ze, who was pointed to the center, lowered his head and silently put the pages on the case into his hand.

"It's the same with always rejecting the Zhou family, do you think Xiaoliu should have a better wife?"

Xiao Rui snorted coldly, and continued: "But that woman is the demon barrier in Xiao Liu's life. Maybe because in that matter, he owed her? Want to know the truth?! What does she know, just exposing the fifteenth year of Yongde......"

Perhaps, people who don't know anything are the happiest people in the world.

Xiao Ze, who knew more about the old hidden things, looked at his father who suddenly shut up and didn't mention the past, with some sympathetic sadness in his eyes.

"With the blood of the Xiao family, Xiaoliu's kid is estimated to be bent on rushing to the battlefield now. At this moment, deliberately suppressing and not letting him be in the limelight will attract attention, and it will inevitably make him and your younger brothers think more. But now it would be better for him to disappear for a while in Luojing, in front of the group of people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. ”

"What does my father mean by letting Xiaoliu go back to Yunzhou?"

Xiao Rui smiled heartily and nodded approvingly, among the sons, the eldest son has the most tacit understanding with him, and he doesn't need a hammer to ring the drum.

"Jimin, I don't want to force it to hurt Xiaoliu's heart. Didn't he feel sorry for the woman surnamed Zhou? So in these two days, you can persuade him without a trace and let him take Zhou back to Yunzhou as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
