After a while, Xiao Ci's thin lips pursed lightly, and he continued expressionlessly: "This king is going to leave Beijing for a while. ”

"Uncle Huang should be sincere?" The heartbeat in Xiao Jingyan's chest was about to burst out, and he used all his strength to suppress the nameless fire, slowly sat back, and said in a hard voice: "Uncle Huang, do you think the capital is trapping you?" ”

So want to go?

There are countless possibilities in Xiao Jingyan's head, Xiao Ci may not come back if he leaves.

Although he took every precaution, Changling is still the territory of the emperor's uncle, if Xiao Ci arrives in Changling and supports the army with self-respect, then what should he do?

I couldn't help but feel a chill on my face.

After a pause, Xiao Ci quietly looked at Xiao Jingyan's reaction, and he explained in a deep voice: "The emperor has thought too much, this king left Beijing this time to accompany his wife to go back to Yanhui, not for another purpose. ”

Xiao Jingyan raised his head: "Yan Hui?" Wang's? ”

Yanhui Wang's family, the head of the family, Wang Zeming, stationed at the Yanhui border for 40 years, is a veteran of hard work, and now he is old.

Chu Jun, the queen of Mu Nanjun, is the daughter of the Wang family, who was born in the Jiangmen family since she was a child, and was born heroic.

As soon as Xiao Ci reminded him, Xiao Jingyan slowly remembered this relationship, after all, since Mu Nanjun died in battle, the story of Yanhui in the capital has been completely closed.

His expression eased slightly, and said: "Why does Uncle Huang go to Yanhui at this time, the prince of Da Liang will enter Beijing in a few days, and he wants to see Uncle Huang by name, if Uncle Huang is not there, wouldn't it make Da Liang lose face." ”

Xiao Ci: "It's okay, this king also wants to meet the prince of Da Liang, but I heard that the prince is missing, and it is unknown when he will enter Beijing, so why should the emperor worry." ”

"Indeed", Xiao Jingyan can't deny this, but he doesn't want Xiao Ci to leave the capital from the bottom of his heart, and the emperor is far away, so he is always not at ease.

After thinking about it, he continued: "But what happened to the goose? ”

Glancing at Xiao Jingyan, Xiao Ci lowered his eyes: "The old lady of the Wang family is dying, this king took the princess to visit, as a junior, it is natural." ”

Xiao Jingyan: "......"

His imperial uncle really doesn't talk much, and he doesn't want to talk to him more about the slightest superfluous twist.

I understand in my heart that since Xiao Ci has entered the palace today, no matter whether he is under this holy decree or not, people must go.

What he couldn't stop, the tiger who had been trapped in this land of nine directions for so many years finally put forward the word "leaving Beijing" in the most gentle way and the simplest reason in this calm afternoon.

After a while, Xiao Jingyan suddenly laughed, he got up and walked to Xiao Ci's side step by step, leaned over slightly, looked at that face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang still remembers the scene when he protected me under his wings for the first time?" ”

Xiao Ci's face was expressionless, he had to go, no matter what it was for.

"I don't remember."

smiled bitterly: "Uncle Huang really doesn't even bother to tell me a lie now, I don't know if I really forgot it, or I don't want to remember it." It doesn't matter, I remember. ”

It was a hot summer night, and he was beaten by Taifu in the school, and he was beaten very hard, and his hands were swollen to the point that he couldn't look like it, because he was the youngest and memorized a wrong ancient text in public.

All the princes saw his jokes, and the Taifu knew that he was not favored, so he punished him heavily.

"Oh", Xiao Jingyan pondered, looked down at the person sitting in front of him, his ink hair was not messy, and he was suddenly cold to the bone, and continued unhurriedly: "At that time, I was eight years old. ”

yes, he's eight years old.

Kneeling on the hot bluestone slab for an afternoon, no one said a word of intercession to him, until late at night, his voice was hoarse, because the Taifu said that he would come to ask him again at night, and if he made a mistake again, he would not use it in the school in the future.

For him at that time, leaving the academy meant losing everything he had as a prince.

He was scared.

As soon as night came, he was waiting for not a Taifu, but a young imperial uncle.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Jingyan felt that he was about to faint at that time, but he was awakened by this indifferent voice.

He looked at Xiao Ci, his face was pale, who didn't know that the emperor was strict, if he knew that he had made a mistake, he would definitely be punished more severely than the Taifu, and he was frightened and didn't say anything.

Xiao Ci squatted down and said in the same cold voice: "Let me ask you, what's going on?" ”

"The Emperor... Uncle Huang...", Xiao Jingyan stammered, trembling his thin body: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have been able to memorize even the simplest poems, please punish Uncle Huang." ”

"Get up!"

This was Xiao Ci's last sentence.

Eight-year-old Xiao Jingyan, who had been waiting for a long time, not only did not wait for punishment, but waited for the first shelter in his life.

Xiao Ci accompanied him from late night to early morning, and as soon as Taifu stepped into the door of the school, he was wiped by a cold sword on his neck and his hair was broken.

He remembered very well that Taifu fell directly to his knees.

And he was led back to the dormitory by a small but very secure hand.

Since then, Xiao Jingyan has never been to the school again, worshipping Xiao Ci as a teacher, and being taught by the emperor's uncle.

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingyan's hand behind his back trembled slightly, he didn't show it, tried his best to make himself look unusually calm, and said to Xiao Ci: "Uncle Huang, this protection, you have protected me for ten years." ”

The ten fingers holding the handle of the chair were slightly tight, and the fingers were even white, Xiao Ci felt that if he sat for a while, he might not be able to help but do something to Xiao Jingyan.

He got up neatly, flicked his sleeves, and was equally calm: "This king has protected you for ten years, and he has protected you!" ”

"Yes", Xiao Jingyan pressed forward step by step, staring at him with his head tilted slightly, the fire in his eyes was about to burn out, and he asked, "Why can't Uncle Huang protect me for another ten years?" ”

Seeing Xiao Jingyan's self-deceptive appearance now, Xiao Ci endured the anger in his heart and turned around: "This king is tired, what does the emperor have to say?" The matter of leaving Beijing, the king has made up his mind, and this time, he will not back down. ”

Before turning to leave, Xiao Ci looked back and dropped a sentence: "Those who dare to block, die!" ”

Xiao Jingyan seemed to have expected such a result, he smiled bitterly, suddenly changed his face, turned his back to the decisive face, and said ruthlessly: "Uncle Huang has not forgotten, I still have my father's edict in my hand, and after a month, I hope to see Uncle Huang in the capital as I wish." ”

Xiao Ci paused as he walked out of the hall.

This is allowed, if he does not come back after a month, I am afraid that there will be no way back at all.

With a sneer, Xiao Ci thought, he was really tired.

Yan Kuan was guarding outside the Taihe Palace, watching Xiao Ci come out, and walked up quickly: "Master." ”

"Go home", Xiao Ci did not squint: "Prepare immediately, leave Beijing!" ”

Yan Kuan was stunned: "The emperor agreed?" ”

He was worried outside for a long time, for fear that his master would forcibly leave Beijing, and the consequences would be unimaginable, Yan Kuan felt that his throat was so anxious that he was waiting for an answer.

Along the way, his ears almost grew on his master's mouth, and it wasn't until he got into the car that he heard four faint words: "January time." ”

His heart fell back suddenly, and Yan Kuan felt that his master must have done it on purpose to trick him.

Back at Jiufangju, it's already dinner time.

The first thing Xiao Ci did was to go to see Mu An, and the faces of the people on the couch were a little whiter than in the morning.

Just this point almost made Xiao Ci's footsteps unsteady: "Another seizure?" ”

"Yes", the octagonal eyes were swollen: "Lord Wang, how can the young lady go back to the goose like this?" ”

Swallowing a breath, Xiao Ci said: "This king said that he can, he can!" ”

"Octagonal!"

Suddenly screamed so seriously, Octagon froze: "Ah? ”

Xiao Ci: "Sort out the lady's clothes, bring all the things you need to use, and leave Beijing with this king early tomorrow morning." ”

——

"Leave ...... Leave Beijing! ”

Octagon was packing up his clothes while listening to Mingyue's chatter.

Mingyue's eyes widened in disbelief, and she raised her head and murmured: "Oh my God, the master is leaving Beijing, leaving Beijing!" It's amazing......".

"What's wrong?" Octagon looked at her with a smile: "Isn't that a good thing?" When I heard it, I had the same look on my face as you, and I was so surprised. ”

"Surprise her grandmother! It's clearly a fright! Mingyue was in a hurry, ran a few words out of her mouth, and turned around and ran out under the strange eyes of the octagonal.

At night, the entire Jiufangju knew that the master was leaving Beijing tomorrow.

Many people were so frightened that they didn't dare to sleep, staring intently at the sky above Jiufangju, for fear that an assassination team would come to report.

But they kept their eyes open and watched, boiled into panda eyes, and none of them attacked and assassinated.

Early the next morning, dozens of carriages were parked at the gate of the palace, and Concubine Hui was so frightened by this movement that she ran out early in the morning, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Ci at the door.

A suspicious glance swept over the group of cars at the door, and his mouth was half open: "Resignation? This... Where is this going? ”

Glancing at her, Xiao Ci whispered: "Go to the border, take a long time, and take care of your body during this time." ”

Where does Concubine Hui want to listen to take care of her body, she hurriedly said: "Mother asked you what you are doing at the border?" Still such a big battle? What about Mu An'an? ”

Glancing at the most extravagant carriage outside, Xiao Ci stared: "It's cold outside, this king asked her to wait in the car." ”

Concubine Hui: "Are you taking her there?" ”

"Hmm."

"No", Concubine Hui watched the rows of people accompanying her come out of Jiufangju and walked outside, so anxious that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time to organize the language: "What are you taking her for, if the emperor sends you out, wouldn't it be a burden for you to take her with you?" ”

Xiao Ci: "The concubine will go back to the palace to rest, the other things in the house will be taken care of by someone, don't bother the concubine, the king will leave first." ”

After saying that, without giving Concubine Hui time to react, Xiao Ci strode into the carriage, the soft couch in the carriage was spread several layers, and the night pearls on the walls of the carriage and the colorful gems complemented each other, which was extremely luxurious.

And on the layers of soft couches, a person lies quietly.

The sleeping face is calm, and the appearance of not crying or making trouble makes people want to take a sip.

Xiao Ci thought so and did so, he couldn't help but hook his lips and whispered: "This king promised you to accompany you to Yanhui and go together." ”

"Let's go to Mu Mansion first."

Yan Kuan: "Yes." ”

All the way through the street, the people pointed and pointed, full of great curiosity.

At this moment, the Chen family had been waiting at the gate of the Mu Mansion early, and she was shocked when she saw the long dragon of the carriage of the palace.

Qingyin stared at her for a while, then turned her head and pursed her mouth: "It's amazing to be rich!" Hum! ”

Chen laughed: "You girl." ”
