Chapter 35: Harmony

As Xiao Jingning guessed, without those cumbersome etiquettes, Xiao Xin was really much faster, and quietly entered the city in the early morning of the second day.

Jinling City has just escaped the crisis of life and death, and the heavy damage has not recovered, but Xiao Xin saw that although it was not as prosperous as before, it was not as depressed as he imagined. Walking into the people, I only heard everyone greeting each other, and also expressed a lot of gratitude to the court, which was quite a bit of prosperity. This was not possible before.

You must know that throughout the ages, once a natural disaster befell you, there was always a small leader who did not know the truth to hate the emperor, saying that the emperor was not virtuous, and that heaven would bring this disaster, and even more so, some so-called loyal officials in the court would also force the emperor to issue an edict against himself.

After observing the people's feelings, Xiao Xin returned to the palace in a low-key manner, and after listening to the cabinet minister's general report on the recent situation in Chaoyang Palace, he left Xun Feizhan alone.

Although Xun Feizhan is a martial artist, he also has some speculation about what Xiao Xin wants to ask this time, and when he kneels under the imperial case, he is also organizing in his mind where to start for a while.

Xiao Xin leaned on the throne and took the lead in speaking: "Tell me what you know." ”

Xun Feizhan sorted out the wording and told the 1510 he knew: "After the royal driver left Beijing, the East Palace was set on fire by Ye Lingzi, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was frightened, and then Puyang Ying entered the palace to ask to see Niangniang. It is not clear what was discussed during this period, but after Pu Yang Ying left, Niang Niang immediately summoned her subordinates to arrest Pu Yang Ying, accused of bewitching the public, and Niang Niang meant that Pu Yang Ying Xu was a spy of the enemy country. ……”

Xiao Xin pondered for a long time: "You don't know what Niangniang and Puyang Ying said?" ”

Xun Feizhan said: "I don't dare to inquire at will, if Your Majesty wants to know, I will go to find the secret guard of the day." ”

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Xin shook his head, Xun Feizhan said it comprehensively, what he wanted to ask was what had happened in the past three months, not that he had to find out the queen's secrets. It's just that he has been estranged from the queen over the years, and suddenly looking back, she has indeed changed a lot, and he doesn't recognize it very well, so he wants to know a little more. Now that she is gone, she should be able to live well even if she is gone, so it will be fine.

Xiao Xin waved his hand to let Xun Feizhan retreat, and leaned back tiredly. These days, his body is getting weaker and weaker. The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down, but he refused, so he leaned on it for a while, and ordered: "Drive Zhengyang Palace." ”

Xiao Jingning, who received the news, asked the time and ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal. Xiao Xin has always eaten lightly, and he eats more vegetarian at the Weishan sacrifice, Xiao Jingning was worried that his body would not be able to stand it, so he specially ordered some warm and tonic dishes, although they were also light, the nutrition was very balanced. asked people to invite the prince over, after all, the prince really missed this father.

If Xiao Xin didn't really feel sick, he wouldn't have to use Luan Yi so troublesomely, and when Xiao Jingning took Xiao Yuanshi to take over, it was easy to find out his discomfort. Xiao Jingning was slightly worried, then waved the palace man away, rubbed it on his head, and after a while, Xiao Xin felt much better. He raised his hand and grabbed her: "Queen, these days, you have worked hard." ”

Xiao Jingning was stunned, but he didn't pull his hand out, only lowered his eyes and replied: "It's all the disasters caused by the concubines, and those are what the concubines should do." ”

"It's not your fault." Xiao Xin felt as if he had been stung in his heart, and pulled the person to sit down beside him, "Ruolan, the villain is indeed invincible, and no one wants such a result." ”

"You're doing better than I thought you would." Xiao Xin pinched the soft wattle in his hand, and turned to Xiao Yuanshi again, "Yuanshi has also done a good job." ”

Xiao Yuanshi's face flushed, and he said ashamedly: "At the beginning of the epidemic, Erchen fell, and he was so tired that the queen mother was worried, and Erchen was really ashamed. ”

"It's hard to prevent a small night, this is not the fault of the time." Xiao Xin sighed: "Yuan Shi's body, this is with me." If the imperial grandmother is still ......"

Xiao Jingning silently served a bowl of soup for each of the father and son: "Don't talk patronizingly, the dishes will be cold when you finish speaking." ”

Taking the soup handed to him, his fingers touched the fingertips that seemed to be congealed, Xiao Xin raised his eyes and looked at the dishes on the table, all of which he and Yuan Shi liked and benefited their bodies, and none of them she liked in her memory. The hand holding the soup trembled slightly, and a complex emotion surged into his heart, mixed with sourness and emotion, turning into a blur in front of him.

"Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jingning watched him drink a sip of the soup when she handed it to Xiao Yuan, and was surprised that Xiao Xin didn't move, she raised her eyes suspiciously, but saw that his body trembled slightly, could it be that he was not feeling well, this was forbearance?

Xiao Jingning was in a hurry, and hurriedly went to his side to check: "Your Majesty, but how can there be any discomfort?" Chuan Tai ......"

"I'm fine." Xiao Xin interrupted Xiao Jingning's words to pass on the imperial doctor's words, and he glanced at Xiao Jingning deeply, "It's me who suddenly feels that I have neglected the queen too much over the years." ”

"Your Majesty is a ruler and diligent in government affairs, so you shouldn't let the trivial matters of the harem bother Your Majesty." Xiao Jingning didn't expect Xiao Xin to say this, she glanced at Xiao Xin's face with some suspicion, and met the deep eyes, her heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by something, and for a while those pushing words couldn't be spoken, and she couldn't say anything more when she opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say at this time.

Xiao Xin saw her reaction, suddenly smiled, two big dimples appeared on her face, and Xiao Jingning's gaze was firmly attracted, and there was nothing else in her mind now, only that smiling face. There is only one thought: Your Majesty looks so good when he smiles......

Xiao Xin drank the soup and heard this, it turned out that Xiao Jingning said this sentence unconsciously, and suddenly he even had a smile in his eyes. And Xiao Yuanshi, who witnessed everything on the side, his eyes were wandering back and forth between his father and queen mother at this time, his eyes were shining, he had never seen his mother in a daze...... Looking at it, the corners of his mouth raised a big smile, and two dimples magically popped out on his little face, and the expressions of the father and son were surprisingly synchronized at this time.

Xiao Jingning reacted quickly, a trace of confusion climbed up his cheeks, coughed lightly, and glared at the father and son, but there was no deterrent, but it deepened the smiles of the two.

Deep down, she is really uncomfortable, although she is playing Xun Ruolan now, but she is not. In theory, she is Xiao Xin's aunt, and Xiao Yuanshi is a grandson, but when facing Xiao Xin, she can't actually treat him with the mentality of elders to juniors. When facing Xiao Yuan, at first she thought that this was her nephew, and after getting along for a few days, she really regarded this child as her own child.

These miscellaneous thoughts flashed, thinking of Xun Ruolan, Xiao Jingning's heart suddenly cooled, he reined in his previous thoughts, and silently prepared vegetables for the two of them.

Xiao Xin easily noticed her mood changes, only thought that she remembered the events of these years, sighed secretly, and also put some mountain treasures for Xiao Jingning, "Don't patronize us, you can eat too." ”

Lunch passed so happily, Xiao Yuanshi saluted the two of them very brightly after the meal, and ran away with a smoke, leaving the emperor and the two alone to contact their feelings.

Xiao Xin's body was indeed weak, and although he wanted to say something while holding Xiao Jingning's hand, his eyes couldn't help but want to close. Xiao Jingning helped him to the bed in the inner room, and gently rubbed him for him, the force was neither light nor heavy, so that Xiao Xin, who was already a little sleepy, fell asleep.

It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that Xiao Xin woke up under Xiao Jingning's nudge, and went to the early dynasty in good spirits after serving with his own hands.
