Xiao Tingchen and Su Jiu entered the palace and went straight to the imperial study.

Yuan Xiao was criticizing the excerpts, and said casually: "Huai Jin hasn't visited your mother in the harem for many days, so you should go and ask for an appointment." ”

Xiao Tingchen glanced at Su Jiu.

The little girl lowered her head, white and delicate, and from his angle you could see a fair and slender back of her neck.

It seems to break as soon as it breaks, and it is very delicate.

He said casually: "Old man, you split me, do you want to bully Su Xiaojiu?" ”

Old man......

The corners of Yuan Xiao's mouth twitched.

In the world, probably only this little beast dares to call him an old man.

"I know you like her," he said, putting down his pen, "don't worry, I won't let her lose a strand of hair." ”

Xiao Tingchen then withdrew from the imperial study.

Yuan Xiaoping retreated from the palace people around him, and pointed to the Taishi chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

Su Jiu sat down, always lowering his eyelashes, and never took the initiative to speak.

Yuan Xiao casually picked up a piece of jade Ruyi and played with it, "Do you know why I let you enter the palace?" ”

"The emperor must have known about last night's incident and wanted to ask the people's daughter for guilt." Su Jiu's voice was soft and glutinous, "Although it was not my fault for what happened last night, the emperor is the father of the Fourth Highness, and he will definitely go to the Fourth Highness." The poor people's daughter's father was exiled to the frontier by the emperor, and her mother was sick in bed, and there was no one in Chang'an City who was the master of the people's daughter......"

The little girl was very pitiful with her sharp teeth and crying.

Yuan Xiao's heart was very suffocated.

He knew that Su Jiu was pretending to be pitiful, but as an emperor, he couldn't get along with a little girl, right?

He was silent, and his voice softened, "Su Jiu, you are a rare smart person among women. I like Huai Jin, and I hope that Huai Jin can inherit my throne. But your existence made him unwilling to marry the family, and he even refused to marry Hua Yueji and Rong Yu for him. ”

Su Jiu lowered his eyes.

The hand in the wide sleeve was quietly clenched.

She also thought that Xiao Tingchen had accepted the marriage, but she didn't expect it......

"Hua Yueji and Rong Yu represent the two great families of Chang'an City. Especially the Hua family, they are inextricably linked with the Yin Yang Ghost Prison, and marrying Hua Yueji is equivalent to gaining the approval of the Yin Yang Ghost Prison. Su Jiu, do you understand what it means to have the support of the Yin Yang Ghost Prison? ”

Su Jiu said lightly: "What did the emperor tell the people to do with these words?" ”

"I just want you to persuade him to stop being willful."

Su Jiu was silent.

Yuan Xiao's eyes darkened, "A true emperor will not be stumped by the love of his children." As an emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards are commonplace. For example, no matter how much I love Cheng Cheng, I can't fall behind after the seal and take a concubine and spread out the branches. The emperor's shoulders bear the rise and fall of the entire dynasty, and anyone has the right to fall in love and have a romantic relationship, but the emperor does not. Su Jiu, do you understand what I mean? ”

The needle drop in the imperial study can be heard.

A few wisps of green smoke diffused from the incense burner's carved lid, revealing a shallow medicinal fragrance, which made Su Jiu's thoughts extremely clear.

She suddenly smiled, "If the people's daughter doesn't cooperate with the emperor, will the emperor kill the people's daughter?" ”

"Yes."

Yuan Xiao admitted generously, "If your existence is an obstacle to Huai Jin's pacification of the world, I will get rid of you first." I will not allow any woman to threaten my son's future. ”

Su Jiu took a deep breath and stared at Yuan Xiao.

A man over forty years old, she remembers being particularly handsome and majestic when she first saw him.

Looking at it now, after experiencing the pain of losing a child twice, his temples are particularly conspicuous.

Even his face seems to look older than his peers, and his eyebrows are faintly blue and black.

She covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, "The emperor seems to have little time." ”

Since ancient times, incense medicine has not been separated, and she studied Gu poison at the beginning, so she has a lot of research on pharmacology.

The incense burner was not incense pieces, but medicinal herbs.

Yuan Xiao coughed a few times, "Xiaojiu is really smart, and he can't hide anything from your eyes." I don't have long to live, so before I leave, I must pave all the way for Huai Jin. Three days, I will give you three days, if you can't make Huai Jin change his mind and agree to marry Hua Yueji and Rong Yu, I will accept your life for the world. ”

Su Jiu's hands and feet were cold.

The deer's eyes were dark and deep, and she paused word by word, "Emperor, can you be unreasonable?" ”

Yuan Xiao picked up the red pen and continued to review the chapter, "The emperor wants to be reasonable, but my father doesn't need it." ”

The other side.

Xiao Tingchen walked along the deep and long palace alley towards Qifeng Palace, turned the corner, but bumped into a person.

Wearing a peacock blue satin brocade robe, he has a long body and a tall figure.

Although he is over 30 years old, he still has red lips and white teeth, and is handsome and attractive.

Only now, the red-haired spider lying on his shoulder was listless, and his long, sharp and narrow eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely haggard.

"Yo," Xiao Tingchen raised Xuan Yue's eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Isn't this Lord Wu?" ”

Since the fall of the Zhao family, Emperor Yuan Xiao used thunderous means to clean up the Zhao family's power in the court and harem.

Although Wu Song is Empress Zhao's person, Yuan Xiao has not yet cleaned up his head for the time being.

In the face of Xiao Tingchen's ridicule, Wu Song's face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

His expression sank, and he suddenly knelt straight towards Xiao Tingchen.

Xiao Tingchen's eyebrows raised even higher.

Wu Song arched his hand, and his voice was desolate: "The slave is really desperate, so he wants to take refuge in the Fourth Highness." The queen mother is in danger, and with the power of the minions alone, she does not dare to guarantee that she can escape from the palace. ”

"Do you want this hall to save Zhao Xi's wife?"

"Yes!" Wu Song put his head on the ground, "The past grievances and grievances are all the fault of the slaves, and they have nothing to do with the queen's mother." The slave is willing to pay for this life to His Royal Highness, and the queen is safe! ”

Xiao Tingchen was condescending.

In the past, the chief eunuch was the chief eunuch who was powerful and powerful, and he was the most favored eunuch in front of Empress Zhao.

Even if it was an official of the former dynasty, he had to give three points of courtesy when he saw him.

Xiao Tingchen still remembers how high-spirited he was when he was in Jiangnan.

How proud a man is, that there is a day when he kneels at his feet......

Xiao Tingchen played with the summer incense beads and sneered: "What does this palace want your life to do?" If you are bitten by a dog, do you have to bite it back? ”

Wu Song said in a deep voice: "Your Highness wants to say it directly." But whatever a slave can get, he will give it with both hands! ”

He was extremely sincere.

Xiao Tingchen stared at him.

For a long time, until Wu Song desperately thought that he would not help himself, a slender and white hand suddenly reached out in front of him, "Get up." ”

He looked up in surprise.

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "Swear allegiance to the palace, and the palace will help you save Zhao Xiwen." ”

Wu Song was stunned.

His long, narrow and sharp eyes were full of disbelief, and he was even trembling at the end, "You...... You want to use me?! ”

"Yes."

Wu Song's face was complicated.

After a few moments, he finally made up his mind.

……

Xiao Tingchen came to Qifeng Palace, where Xue Chengcheng lived.

The palace is gorgeous and luxurious, and the palace maids who come and go are all well-trained with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, which shows that Yuan Xiao loves Xue Chengcheng very much.
