There was silence in the study. The ground was still crumpled and thrown around.

Xing'er was already dressed in ordinary clothes, but the little eunuch below was already looking at him with a flattering face, "Boss!" This, Your Majesty, hasn't had dinner yet! ”

Although the official enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, as soon as the edict of the Emperor Taishang came, the palace and the palace have changed their words to the emperor.

Xing'er also frowned, but he knew in his heart that this was the crown prince, no, it was the emperor, the deepest thorn in his heart, and he was afraid that no one would be able to persuade him. Xing'er waved his hand and told them to retreat, so as not to anger the emperor and suffer some unwarranted disasters.

Xing'er took the meal and went in quietly. It was already evening, there was no candle in the hall, the light was a little dim, and seeing that the tea plate before was not moving, Xing'er looked at his master sitting on the dragon chair with some distress, his eyes were a little blue, and the stubble on his chin also came out.

Xing'er put down the food plate and went to the candlestick, just about to light a few more candles, only to listen to her own hoarse voice, "Go down, let Ye be quiet." ”

"Hey!" Xing'er agreed, but couldn't help but say, "Master, you can drink soup!" ”

The emperor was silent, and asked for a long time, "What has she been doing these two days?" ”

I haven't seen her for more than ten days. Although there are many affairs every day, it is only half an hour before he really rides back to the East Palace, and now he doesn't see her, but because he doesn't know what to say when he sees her.

He can't destroy the Emperor's arrangement of the Western Regions, that is the duty of the monarch, but how will he face Coco? Tell her that she will rehabilitate the Xue family in a few years? He smiled wryly, remembering the afternoon again.

When King Qin stood in front of him, they were in mixed moods. I can't tell who is more envious of whom. was originally a close brother, but as soon as King Qin was born, someone told him that he was here to compete for his crown prince. He studied hard since he was a child, and the court praised him, but who knew that what he longed for most was the situation where his father rode a horse and took his younger brother.

He was resolute and resolute from the battlefield, God knows how he doubted himself and the world before this, he came step by step from the darkness, with great effort, and sometimes he admired himself for not degenerating into a scheming person. And King Qin was born to stand in the sun easily, noble and natural. What is so strange about such a person, but what is it that can be admired?

He unconsciously felt a sour feeling in his heart. King Qin saluted, he didn't call out, and King Qin stood up by himself. Anyway, at this point, it makes no difference whether you are respectful or not.

"The imperial brother summoned the younger brother, presumably there must be a disposition." King Qin said lightly.

"What? You don't care? His tone was also faintly mocking.

"It makes no difference whether you live or die." King Qin smiled, "What's more, if you become a king and lose a king, you will be disdainful of wagging your tail and begging for mercy, and the imperial brother will not be disdainful of it!" ”

He also smiled, if they left their identities behind, they might not be able to drink and talk. Meaningfully asked, "If you were me, what would you do with yourself?" ”

King Qin also thought about it seriously, and replied seriously, "Since my father is a Zen position, of course it is a peaceful and good, and the courtiers also have some power in the court. The third is, hehe, the royal brother is not embarrassed by Ake, isn't it? ”

He also looked at King Qin seriously, and said coldly, "You want to provoke me to kill you, don't you?" They all say that you are good at forbearance, what? Don't want to endure it for the rest of your life? ”

After King Qin was recognized, he was frank, "Brother Huang wants me to live, and after I have a father and a mother, I naturally don't dare to die." The court needs a group of harmony, and the courtiers are also the children of the royal family, and the courtiers should also live. ”

The crown prince suddenly felt a little tired, he was actually no different from the king of Qin, sometimes he couldn't even help himself with life and death. King Qin looked at his expression and smiled again, "Brother Huang, have you ever thought about it, why did Ah Ke choose you?" ”

The prince's heart twitched, why didn't he ask himself this in his heart? He wanted to say something, but he felt that saying it was like an excuse, and he pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

"Brother Chen also thought about it, just because you are the prince? Ake is not such an old-fashioned person. King Qin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Later, I thought it clearly, because the Xue family was ordered by me that night." ”

"She clearly knows that I can't help myself, and she also knows that I made a deal with Situ to keep her, but she still refuses to forgive me, does the imperial brother know the reason?" King Qin asked himself and replied, "Because she hates me for sacrificing the innocent for the sake of court politics, this is her heart and her bottom line." ”

King Qin suddenly glanced at the emperor, smiled and said, "Father, the emperor has been in the throne for more than half a month, and the imperial brother no longer mentions the rehabilitation of the Xue family, you and I are the same people, Ah Ke knows, I'm afraid I will be sad." ”

The prince's chest seemed to have been slammed with a hammer, "I will naturally rehabilitate General Xue!" He said in a deep voice, "You don't have to worry about it. ”

"I'm not worried, I'm not in a hurry, I just feel sorry for Ake." King Qin still smiled faintly.

"It's not your turn to feel distressed!"

King Qin's smile became more obvious: "Well, the imperial brother really can't control it, even if he kills me, the younger brother can think about it before he dies." ”

The prince was a little angry and couldn't control himself, and said the words he regretted the most in his life: "That time in the post house, she was just to get that letter!" After that, there was a deep sense of humiliation.

King Qin's smile deepened: "How about that?" Whether a woman likes herself or not, a man can always feel it in bed, isn't it, royal brother? ”

The emperor smashed the inkstone on the case with his hand. King Qin didn't dodge, he smashed on his head in the middle, ink mixed with blood trickled down his face, and a large piece of dark green rolled silver-rimmed robe collar instantly became a large chunk.

Although the emperor ordered everyone else to retreat, but the movement was too big, Xing'er thought about the thousands of instructions when Lord Nangong left, let him look at the emperor without anger, and killed King Qin by a mistake, and couldn't help shouting outside the palace, "The emperor is angry!" ”

It was only after a while that I heard my father's tired voice, "Come on, take him down." ”

Xing'er was busy asking people to take King Qin to the side hall to treat his wounds.

After that, the emperor tore the fold irritably, and finally calmed down, and sat until dusk.

The emperor asked endlessly, "What has she been doing these two days?" ”

Xing'er knew it in her heart, sorted out the information of the shadow guard, and said cautiously, "The lady is in the Baopu Courtyard every day, and she has eaten and slept well these days." Today, it is said that he also disposed of the side concubine of King Qin and the little prince of the county king's mansion. ”

He laughed bitterly in his heart. Coco is good at everything, but she's too smart. It has been so long since the day of the palace change, she has not asked about the whereabouts of King Qin, she has not asked someone to bring a word, she is waiting for his explanation.

He can't give it for the time being. Or rather, he couldn't do it in the first place.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly understood his father's favor for Concubine Li, if Coco was a little more vulgar, he would also be willing to pile up gems in the palace to please her, such happiness, how simple and pure.

When Xue Ke left the capital, it was already early summer.

Ah Liu was a little unwilling, obviously she had already secretly told Ying Wu. Although tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, although the emperor has many affairs, she originally believed that the emperor would always find time to stop it.

Later, she realized that Xue Ke had carefully planned a circle, and it was just to round each other's faces.

The lights in the capital are colorful, because I heard that the emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven with the emperor's hand to worship the heavens tomorrow! What a great event! Therefore, along the way, not only the official repeated layout, but also the spontaneous spontaneous sprinkling of the road surface to the dust.

The people who entered Beijing were extremely strict, and the queue was several miles outside the city gate, and even the carriages of the dignitaries had to wait honestly in the procession. It's much easier to get out of Beijing, so check the certificate a little and let it go.

"Lady!" Ah Liu screamed softly.

Xue Ke glanced at it and smiled, "You promised to accompany me to Suzhou, why are you reluctant to go to Suzhou?" ”

Ah Liu glanced at Xue Ke angrily, she can always turn the atmosphere to a special place.

"By the way, let's go to the sheep market and drink the mutton soup before leaving! Out of the capital, there is no such delicious mutton soup! You know that Suzhou doesn't eat mutton! ”

Ah Liu pouted, now that she had left Beijing, she didn't expect that Xue Ke's last nostalgia was the bowl of mutton soup.

"In the past, there was a Mohs mutton soup, but Mo Sanniang also went back two years ago, and now the Mohs mutton soup only has a name." Xue Ke sighed. I remember that once a guest was teasing Mo Sanniang in the store, and after Ren Yao solved it, he sighed and said that in this store, only for the first bite of mutton soup that has just been baked can be forgiven, which makes Mo Sanniang cry and laugh.

Xue Ke pulled Ah Liu to still sit by the window, drinking the soup made with mutton powder in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "The world is going down."

There was a commotion outside the window. A woman ran out with a cloak, carefully looking at one foot and not wearing shoes outside, and a woman with inverted eyebrows behind her chased out with a feather duster, "You!" I bought you back to serve people, and at first I pretended to be unwilling, and I was so confused that I was reluctant to let you serve others, but now it's good, it's out of the sky, and I'm sticking to the skin and flesh to others, let's take a look!"

A bunch of people had already surrounded them, pointing and pointing, persuading and laughing, and there were even the prodigal children pushing and shoving in the middle, touching and pinching.

Although the woman in front of her was dressed in rough clothes and the whole person was messy, the exposed foot was white and delicate, and when she looked up inadvertently, her face was even more beautiful and stunned.

"This one, just coax our master's rammer, the old lady didn't send her today, but I'm sorry for my identity as a lady!"

"Big lady, dissipate your anger! Let off steam! A neighbor pulled and persuaded him, "Your little lady has also earned a lot of money for you in the past six months, big lady, this is more than your grandfather selling pork!" ”

Before the words fell, there was laughter all around. The big lady's face also turned red, and then she said louder, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" What you love me! It's not a secret business! Your eyes are red, but you should ask your family to go to the ferry to guard and see if you can also pick up such a runaway concubine and come back! Aunt Zhang, don't laugh on the side, your grandfather sneaked over before, asked if your mother's brother brought a leg of mutton, and asked me if I could go around him for a night! ”

There was even more laughter in the crowd. The little lady suddenly raised her head and looked at Xue Ke sitting in the sheep soup shop opposite in disbelief. She frantically wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by the hair by the big lady, "You want to run!" You were bought by our master for ten taels of silver! ”

Xue Ke smiled and opened his mouth silently, Ah Liu looked at it carefully, did he say "me" or "cheap"? Ah Liu was a little unsure, but she thought that Yang Siniang on the other side must have understood, because her expression was even more crazy.
