But for now, it's better to heal Xiao Jingcong's injuries first, and wait until Xiao Jingcong wakes up.

Yan Zixi thought so, so she sat in front of the bed again and took care of Xiao Jingcong.

It wasn't until this night that Xiao Jingcong woke up in a coma.

Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was awake, Yan Zixi hurriedly asked with concern: "Great, Jingcong, you finally woke up!" ”

"Xi'er......" Xiao Jingcong opened her eyes, and she saw Yan Zixi's scattered hair and no image, "Xi'er, why are you so haggard?" Are you frightened and haven't recovered? ”

Yan Zixi shook her head and replied with a hint of crying: "Jingcong, I'm fine!" I didn't bother to make up because I was worried about you, do you know that you've been in a coma all afternoon, and you're worried about me...... Jingcong, what the hell is going on? Why did you get so many knife wounds, did you encounter an assassin? ”

Xiao Jingcong responded, and then told Yan Zixi what happened in the mountains and forests outside the city, Yan Zixi listened to Xiao Jingcong's story and immediately became frightened, especially when dealing with the three-person killer team, Yan Zixi heard it even more miserable.

It's as if you're there.

"Jingcong, you big idiot! I told you not to go...... You're going to ...... Now it's okay, the old injury is not healed, and the new injury is added, and I don't know when you will recover! If your mother knew about this, she would probably kick me out of the General's Mansion soon! ”

Xiao Jingcong grinned, raised her hand, gently stroked Yan Zixi's scattered hair, and comforted: "Don't worry!" No, I'm not going to let that happen! If my mother drives you out of the General's Mansion, it's a big deal that I'll come out with you! ”

"Jingcong, don't say that!"

Without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to finish speaking, Yan Zixi covered his mouth, "Jingcong, promise me...... If one day I am really kicked out of the General's Palace, please be able to focus on the overall situation. Da Xiao can do without me, a little woman like Yan Zixi, but he can't do without you, a peerless general! ”

Xiao Jingcong gently moved Yan Zixi's jade hand, and replied with a serious face: "Xi'er, then have you ever understood that without you, even if you have thousands of rivers and mountains?" So no matter what happens, I won't let you leave my identity, this is the king's promise to you! ”

After Xiao Jingcong finished speaking, he tightly held Yan Zixi's hand.

Feeling the strength of Xiao Jingcong's palm, Yan Zixi knew that Xiao Jingcong was not deceiving himself by saying nice things, he really thought so in his heart.

"Jing Cong ......"

While the two were warming up, Xiaomei suddenly ran in in a panic.

"The princess is not good, Mrs. Xiao is here!"

"Mother?" Yan Zixi frowned slightly when she heard this, and thought to herself in her heart, "Could it be that the mother concubine knew about Xiao Jingcong's injury today, and specially asked me to ask for the guilt?" ”

Xiao Jingcong also obviously noticed the change in the expression on Yan Zixi's face, and he patted Yan Zixi's hand to let him relax.

"It's okay, Xi'er, my mother won't embarrass you."

"I hope so!"

Yan Zixi nodded, and then said to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, you go out and welcome the concubine in!" ”

"Yes!"

Xiaomei answered, and then ran out of the door and came to the corridor to greet Mrs. Xiao.

From afar, Xiaomei bowed respectfully and saluted, "Slave maid to participate in Madame!" ”

"Xiaomei, what about the prince and the princess? Why don't you see them? ”

"Back to Mrs., the prince has been working hard about the flood for the past few days, and he went to bed early, and the princess is taking care of him next to the bed!"

"Really? Why did someone tell me that the prince was injured? Mrs. Xiao didn't know where she heard the news, her face sank, and she called out to Xiaomei: "Okay, get out of the way and take me to see the prince!" ”

Xiaomei didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Xiao's order, "Yes, madam, please come with the slave!" ”

With that, Xiaomei got up from the ground, and then led Mrs. Xiao to Xiao Jingcong's bedroom.

When I entered the house, I saw Xiao Jingcong lying on the bed, and Yan Zixi was feeding Xiao Jingcong porridge on the side.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao coming, Yan Zixi hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, turned around and walked in front of Mrs. Xiao and saluted: "The concubine has seen the concubine!" ”

Xiao Jingcong reluctantly pretended to be casual, and called out in his mouth: "Mother, forgive the child for being unwell, so I won't get up to greet you!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Mrs. Xiao didn't even look at Yan Zixi, she walked straight to the bed, took Xiao Jingcong's hand, and asked for warmth.

"My Cong'er, what's wrong with you? Why is the face so ugly, white as paper? What's wrong with it? "Look

"Back to the mother's words, the child has been working on the floods outside the city recently, and has been infected with a little wind and cold, and has already let Xi'er see it, and I believe that it will be fine soon after drinking the medicine."

Xiao Jingcong's lying skills are getting more and more powerful, and when she tells this lie, her face does not change and her heart does not beat, and even the shrewd Mrs. Xiao does not notice the slightest mistake.

"In that case, then I'm relieved. Cong'er, don't work too hard, carry everything on yourself. The emperor gave you this is an idle job, and the original intention was to let you recuperate well and recover from your injuries. ”

Mrs. Xiao was born in a noble family, and she never knew about the suffering of the people, and naturally she would not empathize with the suffering of those disaster victims, so she, like most of the high-ranking royal nobles, did not care about the life and death of those disaster victims outside the city at all, and there were no people in their eyes, so it was not surprising that she said this.

But Xiao Jingcong really felt how miserable those innocent people were, watching her home being swallowed up by the flood but unable to do anything, and watching her children starve to death but just crying...... How did all this not move Xiao Jingcong?

"Mother, what you said...... Forgive the child for not agreeing! ”

Before Mrs. Xiao could continue to finish speaking, Xiao Jingcong directly interrupted her.

Mrs. Xiao frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and looked at Xiao Jingcong in front of her with a puzzled face, looking at the son she had once raised with one hand.

I don't know when, Mrs. Xiao feels that she has become estranged from her son a lot, and even doesn't know her son anymore.

"Cong'er, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Xiao asked the doubts in her heart, "Did Mo Feiniang say something wrong?" ”

"Mother, you're right, you're right. You are not wrong to look at this from your point of view. But not children! The children can't just watch the victims of the disaster drift away one by one, starving to death and exposing their bodies outside the city......"

"But are you thinking about yourself? My silly boy! Mrs. Xiao's face showed a hint of anger slightly, and her mouth scolded: "Cong'er, you have not recovered from your injuries in the first place, and now you are sick from hard work, if you continue like this, my mother is really worried...... I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it......"

Saying that, Mrs. Xiao's eyes turned red, and it could be seen that Mrs. Xiao was really worried about Xiao Jingcong's safety.

It's not sad either!

What mother in the world doesn't always care about her children?

The mother of the child is worried, since ancient times, maternal love has been the greatest kind of love, and it is understandable for Mrs. Xiao to say so.

Xiao Jingcong also knew her mother's intentions, so she didn't plan to refute her, but just said lightly, "Well, the children that the mother concubine said have been written down, and the children will pay attention to their bodies." The child is a little tired now, so go back to your room and rest early, mother! ”

Xiao Jingcong tactfully gave Mrs. Xiao an eviction order, and Mrs. Xiao nodded when she heard this, "Well, Cong'er, then you can rest well, and my mother will come to see you tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Xiao got up, and when she passed by Yan Zixi, who was kneeling on the ground and had not yet gotten up, Mrs. Xiao paused for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Get up!" Take care of Cong'er, if Cong'er has any more three long and two short, I only ask you! ”

Mrs. Xiao was domineering, and the last sentence was definitely not to scare Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, the concubine understands!" The concubine sends her mother! ”

"Excuse me!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao waved her sleeves and strode out.

Xiaomei was clever and followed, using the reason of sending Mrs. Xiao back to see if Mrs. Xiao had really left.

After Mrs. Xiao sent him back to the room, Xiaomei hurriedly ran back, closed the door and said to Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong.

"Lord and Princess, Mrs. Xiao has gone back."

Yan Zixi nodded and waved her hand, "Well, I know, Xiaomei, you've worked hard." ”

"It's okay, the slave and maid are continuing to guard outside the door, so I won't disturb the princess and princess." Saying that, Xiaomei glanced at Yan Zixi meaningfully, and then quit the bedroom.

After Xiaomei went out, Yan Zixi sat on the edge of the bed again and looked at Xiao Jingcong with affection.

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, and said to Yan Zixi: "Xi'er, it's late at night, don't just sit still, hurry up and wash up and come to bed to sleep!" ”

"But Jing Cong...... I'm afraid I won't sleep, and I'll touch the wounds on your body......" Yan Zixi hesitated.

Xiao Jingcong shook her head and poked Yan Zixi lightly, "Silly girl, how could it be?" Even if you touch it, it doesn't matter. You don't want to sit here all night and watch me sleep, do you? ”

"Aang! That's what I was going to do! Yan Zixi raised her eyebrows and responded.

"Okay, okay, let's go wash, come to bed and sleep after washing, I don't want to be watched by you all night!"

"It's okay, Jingcong......"

"No, then your body will not be able to bear it, I will be distressed, good, obedient, okay?"
