Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 40 Harmony

、、、、、、、

Xiao Shi spent several days in a nightmare, she had not tasted such a taste for a long time, even when the Empress He passed away, it did not disturb her sleep, and now the fall of the Xiao family has inevitably brought her a lot of sorrow. Despite the tough words in his mouth, when his three relatives and nephews were all given to die, Xiao was still saddened, and all of this was seen by Rouping.

"Don't, don't! Don't come to me, it's clear that you are to blame, why do you blame me for not saving me? Xiao Shi, who suddenly woke up, suddenly felt a thrill all over his body, and almost jumped out of bed, but what caught his eye was Rouping's worried face. She glanced at her henchman maid and muttered helplessly, "If it weren't for your death-defying blow that day, I'm afraid that the Xiao family would really be wiped out." Brother, don't blame me, I can't help it! Xiao suddenly buried his head deep between his arms, his face covered with tears.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" The frightened Rouping hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "The matter is over, the Queen Mother should be relaxed, otherwise it will be difficult to hurt her body!" Now that Lord Xiao Chonghua still has the blood of the Xiao family, and there are other relatives scattered all over the place, if the Queen Mother really has a heart, she doesn't worry about not being able to pick out real talents. The emperor is just angry for a while, and when the fire passes, there will definitely be some grace! ”

Xiao Shi raised his head blankly, and then reluctantly spoke: "You go and fetch a basin of water, and the mourning family needs to wash!" She propped herself up on the edge of the bed and rushed to the dressing table in a few steps, and sure enough, she found that her face was extremely ugly, and her eyes were deeply sunken, without any of the demeanor of the past. And so on. The mourning family has really become a skeleton! She complained dissatisfiedly, and Rouping had already called a few eunuchs and palace maids, and everyone immediately busily served Xiao Shi and began to freshen up. Even though it's still early in the morning. But the master has a life, and no one dares to say a word. Therefore, these eunuchs and palace maids all tried their best to dress up for the Xiao family. In less than half an hour, what appeared in front of everyone was the dignified, noble and elegant Queen Mother.

Xiao Shi looked at the figure in the mirror with satisfaction, and only after a long time did he instruct Rouping: "After the emperor descends to the court, you go and invite him over." said that the mourning family had something important to discuss with him, and asked him to come to Kunning Palace once. In addition, you go to see how the Cining Palace is repaired, the main palace of the mourning family occupying the queen is always unorthodox, even if the smell of blood is strong, it always has to be moved back. ”

Rouping nodded in response, and when Xiao finished explaining, she tiptoed out. Calculating the hour, the emperor was almost up, and she still hurried over to see what was real.

The master has been in a bad temper for the past two days. If the eunuchs and palace maids around them are not satisfied, they will be sent to the Criminal Justice Division for disposal at every turn, so everyone is silent. Although she is a confidant. But I don't want to be bored, so it's better to be dedicated to everything.

Feng Wuxian was supposed to rest in Lingbo Palace last night, but after waking up late at night, he remembered something serious, so he had returned to the Qinzheng Palace early. Rouping got the news from a few of the guards. also went straight to the Qinzheng Palace. The eunuchs and guards at the door all knew her identity, so no one dared to stop her, but sent someone in to deliver a letter to Xiao Fangzi. As soon as Rouping stepped into the main hall, she saw Xiao Fangzi hurriedly coming forward, and her mouth shouted extremely attentively.

"You are also a celebrity in front of the emperor now, what are you doing to flatter me, a palace maid?" Rou Ping scolded with a smile, seeing that Xiao Fangzi was still salivating, then she turned around and said, "The Queen Mother said to let the emperor go to Kunning Palace for a trip, you look at the emperor's situation, do you go to pass the word or I will go in person?" ”

Xiao Fangzi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he was an extremely smart person, and he got an idea in a moment. "Aunt Ping, you wait here for a while, and the slave will go in first. If the emperor says to see him, you will go in again; If the emperor speaks, you can bring the words back to the queen mother. As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the main hall. Rou Ping nodded secretly in her heart, it was naturally a good thing for the emperor to have such a clever person around him, and it also saved her a lot of trouble. But a pillar of incense kung fu" Bu Fangzi turned around and waved her hand to follow in. Rouping walked all the way, only to see that the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides were standing with their hands down, and they didn't even dare to yawn, but they were nailed there like stakes. If the guards are like this, of course, it makes sense, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace can do this, and it is conceivable that the emperor is strict. Rouping rarely enters the Qinzheng Hall at this time, so she secretly speaks.

After walking to the main hall, after Rouping knelt down to say goodbye, Feng Wuxian motioned for her to get up. For the maid beside his mother Xiao, he has never given a face, and he has always been rewarded, although he had a gap with his mother because of Xiao Yunchao's affairs before, he did not show anything at this time. After listening to Rou Ping's words about the Empress Dowager Xiao's instructions, Feng Wuxian couldn't help frowning slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.

"Well, since the Queen Mother said it, I naturally won't forget it. Rouping, when you go back to report to the Queen Mother, you will say that after the morning today, I will go to Kunning Palace to greet her. In addition, the Xiyi people sent a batch of tributes, you invite her old man and the queen to look at it together, leave it for yourself, and then reward the palace concubines, and then enter the inner treasury again. ”

Rouping hurriedly bent her knees and agreed, she didn't dare to disturb the emperor's business, so she hurriedly retreated after the matter was over. After returning to Kunning Palace to report one by one, she found that her master had a smile on his face that she hadn't seen for a long time. However, Xiao Shi obviously didn't intend to say anything to her, and after waving his hand to send all the subordinates, he leaned his head on the dressing table.

This day and early dynasty is just a false story, and most of the important ministers of various ministries and courts are still reading the papers, so almost no one reports any major events. However, the remnants of the Ministry of War, Xin Qi, turned the excerpt of Zhan Pohan, which was nothing more than a good news such as a great victory in the southwest. However, this killing god has won many battles in the southwest, and over time, the ministers don't care, and even the wind without a trace is just a laugh. Of course, although they are all small wins, they are also lottery heads, so a reward is inevitable. Zhan Pohan is also a general of the imperial court, and he can't say anything if he doesn't give some decency, so Feng Wuxian ordered Shangfang to draft a will and use a stagecoach to inform the southwest army.

The battle has been fought to the present day, and it is no longer the so-called counterinsurgency, but to show the military prestige of the Celestial Empire. The strength of the Burmese clan is not Ling Yun's opponent, but there are many tribes in the southwest, and if they all follow the Myanyang clan to mutiny, then the matter will be tricky. Zhan Pohan led the troops this time, and Feng Wuxian also gave him another secret decree, asking him to secretly visit the situation of various departments and support some leaders close to the imperial court. Zhan Pohan kept coming to some small victories, in order to deter these large and small tribes. Fortunately, when an important town of the Burmese tribe was broken, the army intercepted a lot of gold nuggets and other things, so the military salary was saved a lot. Zhan Pohan had received a lot of benefits from Wind Without a Trace before, so he didn't pay much attention to these things outside his body.

Except for this incident, everything else was a trivial, so the early day of the pilgrimage ended very early. After Feng Wuxian went down, he changed into his regular clothes, but there were not a few guards behind him. After the incident of the day, Empress Hai Ruoxin made an edict that as long as the emperor walked around the palace, he must be followed by sixteen guards. In this way, coupled with Xiao Fangzi and other eunuchs who served him closely, there was a large group of people around Feng Wuxi.

Feng Wuxian was quite helpless about this, but he also knew the queen's hard work, so he didn't change this rule. Thinking of Qiu Qingyuan, who escaped with his life that day, he shook his head slightly, capital crimes are inevitable, living crimes are unforgivable, although Qiu Qingyuan has been exempted from capital crimes, he can't stay in the palace. In the end, Feng Wuji could only make a will and send him to serve in front of the Northwest Army, but he still retained his rank for the first time. Once he has made military achievements, he will have the opportunity to return to the dynasty in the future.

When Feng Wuxian saw the Queen Mother Xiao at first glance, he actually gave birth to the amazing feeling of childhood. Since the death of the first emperor, the Xiao family has rarely put much effort into grooming, but because it is extremely well maintained, it looks like it is also graceful. But this time it was different, I saw that Xiao was dressed in a white palace veil, the bun on his head was decorated with a string of precious pearls, but he only wore an agate bracelet on his wrist, which showed his fair complexion more and more, and even the sorrowful color that had been shrouded in his face for the past few days was gone. However, when Feng Wuxian saw his mother suddenly dressed like this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but a kind smile appeared on his face.

After Yi Li met, he sat down on the other side of the Xiao clan with a smile, "Queen Mother, you look good today, it seems that those minions finally know how to serve." Seeing that his mother was just smiling, he spoke again, "Rouping came to the Qinzheng Palace before dawn, so I came in a hurry immediately, I don't know what you want?" ”

Xiao Shi didn't say a word, just waved his hand to rebuke a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and then said to his son: "No trace, the mourning family has no intention of interfering in state affairs and your family affairs, but there is one thing that I have to mention you in advance." You have personally experienced the difficulties of the first emperor when he was the prince, and you should know what the disadvantages are. Not to mention that there are not many brothers left in your generation now, even the turmoil when you ascended the throne and the changes in the past few days, you should also know how to choose. Counting up, your eldest son Feng Haoyang is almost eight years old, and even the son of Concubine Wan Ping is almost a year old, and now that the queen and Concubine Xun are pregnant, do you have any plans for the future? ”

Feng Wuxian didn't expect his mother to suddenly mention this matter, so he couldn't help but be stunned. However, he quickly made up his mind, and when he saw that his mother Xiao Shi was not joking, and his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, he saved his feelings. The fate of Xiao Yunchao's branch is already doomed, with his mother's heart, he will naturally not care about the gains and losses in this regard, once he gets out of his sorrow, he will plan for the future, so it is natural to ask about this matter. However, although he knew that it was not a way to get rid of the matter of establishing a prince for a long time, he still had no plans to establish a prince, after all, he had not even been on the throne for a year.
