Xue Shengjing had already come to her angrily, and said in a low voice: "Ruxin, what is the relationship between you and Hu Xiaotian?" Why did you just call him Xianggong? ”

Huo Xiaoru heard him ask like this, and already knew that he had been eavesdropping in the dark when he was talking to Hu Xiaotian just now, no wonder Hu Xiaotian was so cautious. Worried about Hu Xiaotian's situation, and annoyed by Xue Shengjing eavesdropping on their conversation, he said coldly: "What does my matter with him have to do with you?" ”

Xue Shengjing said with a bitter face: "How can it have nothing to do with me?" I wanted to say that I was your father, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed them hard, he also understood that Huo Xiaoru would never recognize him lightly, so he changed his words and said, "How could you make a private agreement with him for life?" ”

Huo Xiaoru bit her lip and guessed that it must have been Hu Xiaotian who was talking nonsense in front of him, but since Hu Xiaotian said that she couldn't break it, remembering that he had confessed that he had to admit that there was a private affair between them, he immediately said with a heart: "So what?" ”

Xue Shengjing was confused for a while, the most important thing was that he was upset because of his concern for his daughter, he beat his chest and said: "You, you're really confused, you gave birth to all the children for him without Ming Media being married, how is this good?" ”

Huo Xiaoru was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened, and her pretty face was red to the base of her neck, Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, you are simply talking nonsense, it is too much to say that I have a private agreement with you for life, and now I actually say that I have a child, and Yun Ying is still unmarried, how do you let me meet people when this matter spreads? Huo Xiaoru also knew that Hu Xiaotian must have made this decision to save herself, seeing Xue Shengjing's painful appearance, she seemed to have believed it, and she actually wanted to laugh in her heart, since this was the case, she was not afraid to admit it, she twisted her pretty face to the side: "I have no regrets if I die for their Hu family." Then he sighed again: "It's just...... It's just that...... I'm really sorry...... Xiaobao ...... I'll never see him again...... "Huo Xiaoru is from an acting class after all. In order to cooperate with Hu Xiaotian, he also let go, and when he said this, he burst into tears and actually sobbed.

Seeing this situation, Xue Shengjing believed even more that Hu Xiaotian's words just now seemed to be true, and the child's name was all right. Xiaobao! He sighed: "Ruxin, you are confused! Do you know that Hu Xiaotian is now a eunuch, ...... You ......" was so uncomfortable for a while that I couldn't even speak.

Huo Xiaoru said: "I don't care what he becomes, in short, he treats me well in his heart, I don't care about anything, I don't care about any status, I just care about him!" ”

Xue Shengjing's heart was like being hit by a hammer. The shadow of the deceased wife suddenly appeared in front of me, and her voice and smile are still vivid in my mind - beautiful scenery, I don't care what you have become, let alone whether you are a prince or a beggar, in short, if you treat me well in your heart, I don't care about anything, I don't care about any status. All I care about is you......

All kinds of old feelings instantly surged into his heart, and Xue Shengjing sighed in his heart. Could this be retribution, God let me and Yunqi's tragedy be repeated in my daughter's body? Lamentable! Alas! Annoying! But...... What can be done when the wood is already in the boat?

In the imperial study, Emperor Dayong's Xue Shengkang sat quietly in front of the window and stared at the crystal raindrops that continued to fall like bead curtains on the eaves. A breeze blew, and the raindrops suddenly disrupted the rhythm, Xue Shengkang frowned with some disgust, and at this time he heard an announcement from outside: "Your Majesty." Commander Stone is here! ”

"Let him in!"

Shi Kuan strode into the imperial study and knelt down in front of the emperor.

Xue Shengkang said: "Get up!" ”

Shi Kuan stood up.

Xue Shengkang took his gaze back from the window at this time, glanced at Shi Kuan's square face and said, "Have you found out the matter of the second child?" ”

Shi Kuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there was indeed an assassination case in the Yan Wangfu last night, and the assassin was Huo Xiaoru, a famous man of Dakang. He was ordered by the emperor to interrogate Huo Xiaoru. But was rejected by the prince, according to the situation mastered by the lowly position, the prince did not torture Huo Xiaoru, but temporarily detained her, early this morning Dakang sent married Shi Hu Xiaotian to Yanwangfu, it is said that he interceded for Huo Xiaoru. ”

Xue Shengkang nodded, picked up the brush and slowly wrote a line of words on the bookcase - the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full...... The last word of the building was not in a hurry to put down the pen, and the ink fell on the rice paper drop by drop: "Do you feel that something is wrong?" ”

Shi Kuan said: "I don't know what the emperor is referring to?" ”

Xue Shengkang said: "You don't have any scruples, say!" ”

Only then did Shi Kuan bow and salute: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, with a humble understanding, the prince is not a tolerant person!" ”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xue Shengkang's lips: "What's more, he has always been retribution!" I still remember that two years ago, one of his favorite maidservants had just broken an ordinary cup, and he had slit his throat with a broken piece of porcelain. I remember that a year ago, two maidservants had their carpets soiled because they had not remembered to take off their muddy shoes on a rainy day, and he ordered them to have their feet cut off...... You told me all these things. ”

Shi Kuan said: "Your Majesty is aware of everything, the prince is indeed abnormal this time. ”

Xue Shengkang said: "That's why I sent you to ask for someone, and he refused to give it, which proves that this Huo Xiaoru is extremely important." ”

Shi Kuan said: "My subordinates don't understand, the prince usually never disobeys His Majesty's orders, let alone a dancing girl, even if he asks for anything, he won't frown." ”

Xue Shengkang said: "The second child once said that all his qiē is mine, when I want it, when I can take it, even including his life." Speaking of which, Xue Shengkang finally put down his pen and wrote a big building on the rice paper.

Looking at the words on the table, he was not satisfied, frowned, grabbed the words and crumpled them, and threw them on the ground.

From the emperor's subtle movements, it can be seen that he is not in a good mood.

Shi Kuan didn't dare to speak much, and waited cautiously to the side.

Xue Shengkang said: "Do your best to find out the details of Huo Xiaoru." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Shi Kuan left, Bai Desheng, the celebrant and the superintendent, hurried over and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's phoenix has arrived at the palace!" ”

Xue Shengkang was stunned in his heart, this matter was very sudden, the queen mother actually came to the palace without telling in advance, I don't know for what? Since she spent her days in the Garden of Mercy and Grace, she has rarely come to the Imperial City except for heavy celebrations, so I don't know why she made an exception today? Xue Shengkang vaguely felt that something was wrong, and even guessed that the arrival of today's queen mother was likely to be related to the assassination incident in the Yan Wangfu last night.

Xue Shengkang wanted to greet him, but he remembered something: "Bai Desheng, why did you only inform me now?" ”

Bai Desheng said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has not revealed any news before, it seems that she deliberately concealed it from the palace and wanted to surprise the emperor." ”

"Surprise?" Xue Shengkang shook his head, and immediately gave up the idea of going to meet the queen mother, since he wanted to surprise himself, wouldn't it disappoint her if he was prepared?

Xue Shengkang returned to the bookcase, Bai Desheng hurriedly followed, and studied the ink very coloredly, after Xue Shengkang was dipped in thick ink, he wrote four big characters on the flattened rice paper - rain and clouds!

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Hearing this announcement, Xue Shengkang picked up a cotton towel to wipe his hands and went out.

The rain has stopped, and the vegetation in the Yaqu Garden outside the imperial study is verdant, and there is a scene full of life everywhere.

Xue Shengkang hurriedly stepped forward: "Queen Mother! How did you get here? The child sees the queen mother! ”

Empress Dowager Jiang laughed, came to Xue Shengkang's face, looked at his face and said: "The mourning family heard that Lingjun's girl said that you have been busy with government affairs in the past two days, and you are not feeling well, so you can't find time to go to the Garden of Mercy to see me. ”

Xue Shengkang said with a smile: "The queen mother is serious, this palace is originally your own home, and Cining Palace has always been cleaned up for you, when you want to come back to live, you can come back when you want, you don't need to say hello to anyone at all." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled: "I know that you are filial." She turned to Dong Gonggong and said, "You are all waiting outside, and I will talk to His Majesty alone." ”

"Yes!"

A group of eunuchs and palace maids all withdrew from the garden.

Xue Shengkang came to his mother's side, put his arm around him, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, let's talk inside?" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head and said, "No, it's very stuffy inside, so you can accompany me outside." ”

The two of them came to the inkstone pavilion in the garden and sat down.

Empress Dowager Jiang stretched out her hand to hold her son's big hand and said softly: "Shengkang, since you became the emperor, the opportunities for our two to be alone like now have become less and less. ”

Xue Shengkang smiled and said: "The child has been a little busy with political affairs recently, and when he finishes dealing with these matters, he will definitely go to the Garden of Mercy and Grace to talk to his mother." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang sighed and said: "You are thinking about the affairs of the world in your heart, and I, as a mother, should not be a burden to you, don't deliberately pass it, I can go to the mourning family to see it during the New Year's holidays, and I am already satisfied." ”

Xue Shengkang said: "If the queen mother wants to have a child, she will live in the palace for a few days, so that the child can go to you every day to say goodbye." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "I can't get used to living in this palace, if I really come over, I will be noisy to death by your concubines every day, and I want to live a few more clean days." ”

Xue Shengkang couldn't help laughing, the Queen Mother left the palace to live in Ci'en Garden, a big reason is that she is tired of those concubines competing for favor, and the concubines not only have to please the emperor in order to take the throne, but also to please the queen mother, Xue Shengkang has nothing to do about this kind of thing, all dynasties and dynasties have been like this.

Empress Dowager Jiang said: "You are thinner than a few days ago, don't just be busy with government affairs, but also take care of your body." ”
