"Your Majesty!" Xiao Jingning was stunned, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, not only to accompany me a little longer, but to accompany me all the time, either let me walk in front or go together, this palace doesn't want to cry." ”

Somehow, she is now more and more afraid of these ominous words, afraid that when it will come true. Xun Ruolan's body has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her body is strong, she is not sick or sick, and it is no problem to live to the age of antiquity without accidents, so she has the sentence that makes her walk in front.

Xiao Xin knew what she meant, and smiled gently: "Okay, I won't let Ah Jiu cry." ”

Hold the person tightly, and I can't wait to rub it into the bones and blood. In the darkness, he watched the gaze of the person in his arms become more and more gentle.

The glimmer of the morning light spread all things, and several city gate guards opened the heavy gate of Jinling City, and more than a dozen fast horses stood majestically at the door.

The guards who opened the door were still a little sleepy-eyed, and some were yawning, and they woke up after this fright, raised their hands and clenched their waist knives, and took a closer look, but the first one was a gentle young man, but no matter how gentle he was, he couldn't stop the momentum of the whole body.

The leading city gate guard was in awe and said, "It turns out that the prince has returned, please hurry up." ”

Xiao Pingzhang raised his hand to thank the city gate guards, and led people to gallop towards the Changlin Palace.

After these days of teaching, Xiao Yuanshi was basically presiding over the last dynasty, Xiao Xin sat on it, listening to the courtiers talking about the government with Xiao Yuanshi, and only Xiao Xin would open his mouth on major decisions that Xiao Yuanshi could not decide. And now, Xiao Xin has opened his mouth less and less, and the courtiers have become accustomed to reporting directly to Xiao Yuanshi.

Throughout the ages, there are really few emperors who have been so unburdened by the prince's decentralization, for this chair, it can be described as a bloody father and son cannibalizing brother Yan Wall, even Emperor Jingwu also went through the struggle for imperial power, overturned the brothers in front of him, and erected Emperor Wen before ascending to the throne.

Some keen courtiers were alarmed in their hearts after seeing Xiao Xin completely let go, their emperor wouldn't run away, right? Although it is unlikely, after all, except for Chu Sui of the Southern Dynasty, all the emperors also died on the throne. If it weren't for Chu Sui's secret actions, Da Liang might not be able to be surnamed Xiao. It was strange in the hearts of the ministers, and they didn't say much.

This morning, Xiao Xin sat on the dragon chair as usual, and let the prince, who was sitting on the lower level, play at will, and the prince's ability made him more and more satisfied.

At this time, Gao Zhan came up and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, the prince of Changlin has returned, and he is waiting outside the palace with the second prince and the Marquis of Laiyang." ”

Xiao Xin only thought for a moment, and then said, "Let them go to the Yangju Palace and wait, and invite the queen mother to come over." ”

Gao Zhan cautiously withdrew and went to run errands.

After retreating, Xiao Xin left King Changlin and took Xiao Yuanshi to the Yangju Palace.

Xiao Xin's eyes showed starlight: "Brother Wang, Pingzhang is back." ”

Xiao Tingsheng recalled the people back then, and also sighed a lot, and said: "It's good to be back, I don't know what Shao'er and the eldest brother are hiding." ”

Xiao Jingning went to the Yangju Palace after receiving the order, and did not ask Xiao Pingzhang about entering the palace this time, but asked about the current situation of several people with concern, and even Xiao Yuanqi was not snubbed.

After worrying, Xiao Jingning suddenly asked Xiao Yuanqi: "Yuanqi, you are now out of the filial piety period, what are your plans?" ”

Xiao Yuanqi didn't expect the queen to ask this, and he was a little flattered for a while, but after he became a criminal minister, what plans did he have and how dare he say it? After all, I can't get out of it anymore. But thinking of the queen's maiden niece, the person he had seen from afar but crashed into the depths of his heart, he was very unwilling. If he only uses his identity as a marquis, he is not worthy of Xun Anru.

After hesitating, he said: "Hui Niangniang, the minister is not talented, and he is willing to do his part for the country." If a minister wants to join the army, he starts as a soldier. ”

"It's good to have this heart," Xiao Jingning nodded, and suddenly said: "But unless the Marquis of Mozi is dead, no matter what, it is impossible for you to come into contact with military power." ”

Several people didn't expect the queen to say so clearly, Xiao Yuanqi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he was quite aggrieved. He knew that the Marquis of Mozi had bad intentions and wanted to provoke his ambitions many times, but he always controlled himself and did not let himself sink. It's just that he didn't want to say anything about the Marquis of Mozi for some reason, but he didn't expect that even the queen in the deep palace knew about it, so his concealment seemed to people to be absolutely ill-intentioned.

At this time, no amount of justification was pale, and he knelt down straight, and lay on the ground with his hands on his forehead, without saying a word.

Xiao Pingjing hurriedly saluted and spoke for him: "Niangniang is angry, Yuan Qi did not deliberately conceal the deeds of the Marquis of Mozi, but the Marquis of Mozi is strong in martial arts, and the secret art of the East China Sea has come and gone without a trace, once he says it, who knows what the Marquis of Mozi will do?" The consequences were unimaginable. ”

Xiao Pingzhang also said: "Although there is concealment, it is all up to Yuan Qi to deal with him and paralyze the gaze of the Marquis of Mozi, so that he can not secretly investigate." Please also ask for forgiveness. ”

Xiao Jingning glanced at the three of them and said, "Get up." ”

When they all stood up, Xiao Yuanqi was already in a cold sweat. He had very little contact with the queen, even less than His Majesty, but he had never seen the majesty of the queen, and the words he said did not reveal any emotion, but they were overwhelming.

I only heard Xiao Jingning say: "This palace is not to blame, but just to state a fact." Regardless of whether the purpose of the Marquis of Mo Zi can be achieved, this person is extremely dangerous. If Yuan Qi is bewitched by it and endangers Daliang, no matter what the result is, this outcome is not what anyone wants to see. If he fails to be confused, it is inevitable that the Marquis of Mozi will not be annoyed and angry, how can Yuan Qi alone be his opponent? King Laiyang is His Majesty's younger brother, and His Majesty and King Changlin don't want him to break off the inheritance, do you understand? ”

Xiao Yuanqi said: "Weichen understands. ”

"It's really unfair to you." Xiao Jingning said slowly: "This palace knows that Yuan Qi is indeed a very good child, if it weren't for these intricate relationships, your achievements would never be low." But how a person is judged is not by what he has achieved, nor is it something that people in the world who do not know the truth can judge. To be a man must be upright and worthy of his heart, Yuan Qi, can you do it? ”

The queen's words seemed to have some magic power, which calmed Xiao Yuanqi's previously frightened and aggrieved heart, and he did not reply immediately, but replied after thinking carefully: "The minister understands that the minister has never done anything to be ashamed of, but because of selfishness before, he concealed many things, but now it is very ridiculous to think about it." ”

"If there is nothing wrong with the country, there is nothing wrong with concealing it." Xiao Jingning said: "Everyone has selfishness, this is human nature. You are a good boy, and I believe that you know what is right and what is wrong, and what is not right. ”

Xiao Yuanqi bowed and said, "Xie Niangniang." ”

Xiao Jingning bowed his head and said softly: "Since you have come out of the filial piety period, now that this palace is your elder, you should pay attention to lifelong events for you." Does Yuan Qi have a favorite woman? ”

"This ......" Xiao Yuanqi never thought that the queen would ask about his family affairs, Xun Anru's smile appeared in front of him again, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, his identity is very different, he is not worthy after all, so his eyes darkened, and said: "It's all up to the mother." ”

Xiao Jingning looked at people with some suspicion, looking at him like this, he should be a happy person, why didn't he say it?

Frowning, she said: "You don't have to hide, since you are Your Majesty's nephew, even if the title is not high, but just look at you as a person, there is nothing that no one is not worthy." ”

Xiao Yuanqi was silent, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Xiao Pingjing saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and hurriedly interjected: "Niangniang, the minister knows, the minister knows!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Jingning said with a smile: "You say, which immortal-like person made Yuan Qi take it to heart?" ”

Xiao Pingjing said: "It's Anru!" ”

"Anru?" Xiao Jingning was stunned, Xun Ruolan's niece? She asked, "When did you meet?" ”

Xiao Pingjing said: "Just before Yuan Qi and his ministers went to Langya Pavilion to get medicine and returned, they met An Ru's car driving into the palace, An Ru opened the curtain and looked outside, and Yuan Qi saw it. The minister didn't notice it at the time, or Yuan Qi has been in a state of mind since then, and the minister was afraid that Yuan Qi had encountered some difficulties, so he knocked on the side, and then he knew about it. ”

Xiao Jingning glanced at Xiao Yuanqi and found that the roots of his ears were a little red, knowing that what Xiao Pingjing said was the truth, he asked gently: "Yuanqi, are you really happy?" ”

Xiao Yuanqi opened his mouth and said, "Miss Xun is such a beauty, the minister is happy, but the identity of the minister is ......."

"An Ru Bengong is very fond of her, and her relatives Bengong will also personally inquire about it." Xiao Jingning muttered: "This palace will ask An Ru what she means, if she doesn't want to, this palace won't be reluctant." ”

Xiao Yuanqi bowed and said, "Xie Niangniang." ”。

At this time, Xiao Xin and his party finally arrived.
