Chapter 54

Xiao He held his breath, and Mu Churan was immediately stunned. When he fell backwards on his back, Xiao He reached out to protect the back of his head so as not to make a noise from hitting the edge of the dragon chair. But at the same time, she found that Mu Churan was clasping her other hand tightly, so she lost her balance.

With a muffled sound, Mu Churan fell on the dragon chair, with Xiao He's palm behind his head, and Xiao He fell on top of him, stained with some medicinal powder that fell on his neckline, and suddenly felt a little dazed. The medicinal powder prepared with red beads is extremely powerful. I didn't expect this kind of oolong to come out, Xiao He didn't have time to get up from Mu Churan, and he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took for Xiao He to come to his senses. When she realized that she was lying on Mu Churan's body, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly stood up and sat on the side. She looked around at the imperial study, where no one had come, and she should have been unconscious for a short time.

And at this moment, Mu Churan was still in a coma, Xiao He's heart suddenly jumped wildly, this was not a great opportunity given to her by God.

Looking at Mu Churan's closed eyes, Xiao He's heart suddenly jumped wildly, as long as he slapped him to death unknowingly at this time, and then quietly left the palace and disappeared from then on.

Isn't it a great opportunity for revenge given by God?

Xiao He took his luck, as long as he hit his Heavenly Spirit Cover with all his strength, he would definitely shatter his skull and kill him on the spot. Even if she can't get out after that, it's worth it.

It's just that in this way, the court will be in chaos, the queen mother will definitely control the government, and Mu Churan has no heirs and brothers, how many people will be angry in this dragon chair, and maybe there will be another war, Fengguo in the south, Dayue in the west, and the group of savages in the north will not want to carve up this leaderless Dayin.

Just for a moment, Xiao He thought a lot and a long way.

She seemed to see tens of millions of people displaced, orphans and widows lost their relatives, and she seemed to see the boundless flames of war burning all night long, staining thousands of miles of cities.

Just for a moment, she couldn't be ruthless anymore.

And right now, Mu Churan was still holding her hand tightly with one hand, she reached out to break his fingers, but found that he was still using his strength in a coma, and she didn't dare to break it. In case one or two dragon claws are broken, this faint monarch will wake up and will not be able to explain.

While she was struggling, she heard a voice at the door. She held her breath and listened carefully, and it turned out to be the princess who came.

"I'm looking for Brother Huang, why can't I go in?"

Gonggong Liu's voice, "Princess Qiyu, Your Majesty is discussing with Lord Xiao, and no one is allowed to disturb you." ”

"Xiao He is also there?" There was a bit of surprise in the princess's voice.

Xiao He sighed inside, it's okay not to say that he is here, Gonggong Liu wants to mention this stubble, this wayward princess is afraid that she will have to come in and take a look. But Mu Churan's virtue is still clutching his hand, and he can't be seen.

Is God giving her a chance, or is it giving her a try?

Immediately, Xiao He helped Mu Churan up and half-hugged him behind the nine-dragon screen behind the dragon chair. Although it is narrow here, if you adjust your posture, you can still hide two people.

With a squeak, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and it was known that the group of fathers-in-law could not stand the princess from making trouble at all.

"Brother Huang!" As soon as Mu Qingwan came in, he went straight into the inner hall in small steps, regardless of what kind of place it was. She expected that the imperial brother would not blame herself, but after entering, she didn't see anyone, which made her look puzzled.

"Lord Xiao!" She tried to call again, but no one answered.

Xiao He supported Mu Churan's body with one hand behind the screen, but he couldn't control his head, so he could only lean his head on the side of his cheek, so as not to make any noise on the screen.

At the moment, this appearance is even more incapable of being seen by the princess.

"Brother Huang!" Mu Qingwan continued to call while looking around.

Xiao He could only judge Mu Qingwan's position at the moment based on the size of his footsteps, and heard her say to herself: "It's strange, didn't you say that you were discussing with Xiao He?" How is there no one. Could it be that Grandpa Liu lied to me? ”

She walked out again in a stumbling stride.

Xiao He was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the princess turned back again, "Brother Huang, are you here?" ”

Why is she so ghostly, Xiao He secretly complained in his heart. I don't know if it's because of the princess's continuous calling, she obviously felt that Mu Churan beside her seemed to move.

Although the medicinal powder prepared by Hongzhu is strong, it has a time limit, and defeat is due to Xiao He's previous oolong, and he was also unconscious for a while after staining some medicinal powder, so he can't be sure if Mu Churan is really about to wake up.

If he really woke up at this moment, it would really kill me, Xiao He was nervous in his heart, and his hands subconsciously used some strength.

Mu Churan was indeed about to wake up, and before he woke up, Xiao He subconsciously used a force on his waist, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Although his eyes were closed, he smelled a familiar faint body fragrance, and he still held a soft and smooth palm in his hand.

With a hard hand in his hand, he pulled Xiao He closer to himself, and the tip of his nose was against the corner of her forehead.

Xiao He was startled, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, the princess was outside the screen at the moment, only a few steps away from the imperial desk. She could only raise her eyes, and what she saw was that Mu Churan's thick eyelashes were still hanging quietly, and fortunately she hadn't woken up.

Mu Qingwan lifted the desk tablecloth and checked it, it was empty under the desk, so he muttered, "Didn't the imperial brother go somewhere else with Xiao He?" She suddenly remembered her childhood games, and then turned back to explore again.

At this moment, he was sure that there was no one in the imperial study, so he naturally retreated, and before leaving, the princess did not forget to complain about Liu Gonggong for lying to herself. Father-in-law Liu waited outside, but when he heard the princess say that there was no one inside, he was also sweating. The people who served in front of the emperor lost the emperor with him, and this was worth it.

Xiao He saw that the princess had gone out, so he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he noticed that Mu Churan had let go of the hand that was holding him, and when she hurriedly looked up at him, her forehead touched his lips, as if she had been scalded by hot oil, and hurriedly took a step back.

She looked at Mu Churan in a daze, and he woke up. Not only woke up, but also lightened himself, although the premise was that he accidentally bumped into it, but this clearly has an element of his intention.

After Xiao He exited the screen, he forgot even the salute, and left the imperial study in a panic. As soon as she went out of the door, she startled Gonggong Liu, who was just about to push the door in to check. Then Gonggong Liu came in and saw that the emperor was not sitting there properly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

In the next two days, Xiao He was busy preparing for the welcome with Shen Suhang, and it was only when the third prince received the news that Li Nanke was in the imperial capital, so he accelerated and went straight to the imperial capital. All the way to the post station express, it is expected that the envoy team led by the three princes of Fengguo will arrive in the imperial capital in advance, so all preparations must be made quickly.

At the same time, Mu Churan convicted Ji Changge, stripped him of all his positions, and asked him to go to Longxi to fill the army. This is a slightly lighter punishment than the death penalty. As soon as the holy decree came out, there was an uproar in the court, but because of Duan Heng's precedent, no one dared to say anything more.

It increased the arrogance of Li Lin and the others, and let the officials see who is the celebrity in front of the emperor. What if Ji Changge is newly favored, he dares to fight with them, but he was still sent away.

Longxi is a small town in the northwest of Dayin, and every autumn and winter, there will be Hu tribes in the north to harass, not to burn and loot. The Longxi Metropolitan is now sitting in the seat of Xing Chao, who was born as a civilian official, and has led troops to crusade several times, but when he arrives outside the Saiwai, the people in the Guannai are never as brave as the nomadic cavalry. Therefore, Xing Chao was also helpless, so he went to the book to listen to it in order to ask for support.

Although Mu Churan punished Ji Changge at this time, he left him to go to Longxi, just to see how Xing Chao used him, and it could be regarded as sharpening his temperament.

I hope that in the future, he will understand his good intentions.

But Xiao He couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Ji Changge because of this incident, but fortunately, before leaving, Mu Churan had already lifted the ban. She was able to visit Ji Changge again openly.

Ji Changge asked Xiao He to take care of several of his subordinates in prison, "They came with me to the imperial capital at the beginning, and now they have to go to Longxi with me again." Now that I have no position, I am afraid that it will be true to take them on the road again. ”

Xiao He was grateful that he had such loyal subordinates, but Ji Changge had a lot of consideration, "If Brother Xiao wants to continue to investigate the truth about the disrepair of the river embankment, I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to you, my cronies are not bad, and if you stay by your side, you can also be a guard to protect you." ”

Ji Changge always thought of him when he was alone but determined to clear his name, his heart was churning, and then looking at his delicate figure, he couldn't help but worry about what would happen if he was not in the imperial capital, and someone would deal with him.

But he was afraid that Xiao He would think too much, so he took advantage of the fact that he was confiscated this time to transfer all his personal guards to him.

Xiao He wanted to refuse, but he heard Ji Changge say: "They are all from the army and have received strict training, if you want to train your own government soldiers, they will definitely be able to help one or two." ”

This suggestion is somewhat to her liking, and she really needs more strength to survive in this treacherous place of the imperial capital.

"Then I will thank Brother Ji first, he will wait for you to return from Longxi in the future, and I will return them to you." She said, bowing her hand and thanking her.

Ji Changge stretched out his hand to cover her palm, "You and my brother, you don't have to say this." ”

In a trance, he seemed to see a trace of shame flashing on Xiao He's face, and he almost misunderstood that what he touched was a woman's hand, so he quickly retracted his hand.

Xiao He paused, and then said to him, tomorrow he will leave, Xiao He may not be able to send it in person, so he can only say goodbye here.

Now I say goodbye, and I don't know when I can see each other again.

When Xiao He came out of the prison, he met Shen Suhang, although he saw him every day in the past few days, Xiao He didn't have any good color, and he was a lot more polite in his speech. Shen Suhang knew that she was angry that she was in the court that day, not only stopped her to plead with Ji Changge, but also watched all the way without making a sound.
