Chapter 2 Be cautious
Xiao Yuexi woke up and recovered most of her spirits, only then did she realize that she had actually returned to the General's Mansion, and she was so shocked that she bounced up from the couch, and she was also so frightened that Mu Lan, who was lying in front of the couch, sat up straight and looked at Xiao Yuexi.
Xiao Yuexi was grinning in pain because of the wound, and couldn't help but wonder at Shang Mu Lan's gaze: "Mu Lan, how did I come back?" ”
Mu Lan and Mu Kom are Xiao Yuexi's personal maids, they have played together since they were children, they don't look like master and servants, but like sisters. At this time, Mu Lan was frowning, and looked at Xiao Yuexi with dissatisfaction: "Miss, the bandages that Mu Kom and I just changed for you, you can lie down honestly for a while!" ”
Xiao Yuexi glared at her and said: "It's shameful enough to investigate a small case and hurt yourself, and it's also so injured that you are bedridden, and I won't let people laugh to death if it spreads!" Don't learn to be like my sister-in-law, Rory, you can answer whatever you ask! ”
Mu Lan pursed her lips and said, "The general who came back from the southern border brought you back yesterday, and the whole mansion in the middle of the night was alarmed, and Madame stayed up all night guarding you before I persuaded you to go back and rest for a while." Miss, what are you checking on this trip? ”
Xiao Yuexi automatically ignored Mu Lan's last question, and said in surprise: "General? My eldest brother? ”
Mu Lan nodded inexplicably.
Xiao Yuexi muttered in disgust: "What is he doing when he runs back from the south? ”
Mu Lan: "......" Are other people's sisters like her young lady? As if he was afraid that his brother would come back......
Xiao Yuexi didn't care about Mu Lan's look, and was about to get out of bed when she lifted the quilt. "Forget it, I'd better go meet him!"
Mu Lan hurriedly held her down, and said with a tough attitude: "Madame has specially told the young lady to rest well, and she is not allowed to take a step out of the door." ”
“…… As for it? Just this little injury?? ”
Mu Lan nodded matterfully and replied: "Madame also said that other people's young ladies will not jump up and down like you and get injured and suffer crimes, so let you think about it while recuperating from your injuries." ”
Xiao Yuexi raised his forehead: "Alas! Here comes again...... "Her sister-in-law, since she married into the General's Mansion, there is not a day when she is not trying to make her a lady."
Although you are in a good year now, as long as you have the ability, whether you are a man or a woman, you will be respected as you deserve, but Ji Bingxin always feels that as a woman, when she is not married, she should embroider in the room, practice the piano, and teach her husband and children to keep her duties when she is married. In fact, not only Ji Bingxin, but many people still hold on to this stereotyped thinking.
"Miss, this is what you brought back this time." Mu Lan handed over a small package, which contained evidence collected by Xiao Yuexi during his trip to Connecticut, and was about to hand it over when he entered Beijing, but who knew that this kind of thing happened just after he arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.
And the hero who helped her solve her trouble, he dared to knock her unconscious while she might as well take advantage of her! What happened after that? How did she get brought back by Xiao Yixuan? What about that person?
A series of question marks were about to pop up in her heart, Xiao Yuexi couldn't sit still after thinking about it, looked at Mu Lan with a guarded face, and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law won't let me go out, and she didn't say that she wouldn't let me see my eldest brother!" Go and call him, I'll ask him something!" ”
"Oh!" Mu Lan answered and went obediently.
A moment later, Xiao Yixuan rushed in in a hurry.
"Little sister, you're awake!" Xiao Yixuan roared loudly.
Xiao Yuexi frowned at him, drank the porridge sent by the cardamom, and said unhappily: "Am I injured or deaf, what are you yelling about?" ”
Xiao Yixuan laughed loudly, and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say that you are injured, so a few people beat you like this, and you will be laughed to death if you say it!" ”
"......" Sure enough, this person never thought she was a girl! Xiao Yuexi has grown into today's underbeaten person who doesn't know the height of the sky, and Xiao Yixi has made great contributions! Where is Ji Bingxin's ability to come over in a few words?
Xiao Yuexi said helplessly: "Okay!" Don't laugh! What about that guy yesterday? ”
"Huh? Who? Xiao Yixuan still had a gloating smile in his eyes.
Xiao Yuexi: "It's the one who knocked me unconscious last night......"
"Puff ha......ha ”
“……”
Xiao Yuexi didn't want to tell him anything, she didn't even bother to look at him anymore, she turned her head, and she happened not to see the nervousness that flashed in Xiao Yixi's eyes.
After calming down for a while, Xiao Yixuan finally became more serious, and said, "I'll help you check the identity of the dead soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing, so you can take care of it." Saying that, Xiao Yixuan couldn't help laughing again.
Xiao Yuexi: "...... Have you laughed enough? ”
"Enough is enough!" Xiao Yixuan held back a smile and walked out. "You rest, I'll go out for a walk."
Xiao Yuexi finally sensed the point of his words, and exclaimed, "Do you still plan to stay in the capital for a while?" ”
Xiao Yixuan turned his head and said with a smile: "This time I am going back to Beijing to report on my work, but there is nothing important in the south, I am going to stay for a while before leaving." ”
Looking at his back as he left, Xiao Yuexi had a rare soft smile on his face.
If he can stay in the capital for a few more days, his sister-in-law will be very happy......
Some people really can't help but babble, even in their hearts.
Not long after Xiao Yixuan left, Ji Bingxin's slender figure walked in with unhurried steps, stood in front of the couch and glanced at Xiao Yuexi a few times, and said with a calm face: "Are you honest now?" Don't toss anymore? ”
Xiao Yuexi wanted to reply, "Actually, it's no problem to let her go out and toss a few laps", but when the words came to her mouth, she forcibly swallowed them back. It's rare that she is in a good mood, and she doesn't need to mess with her, and find guilt for herself.
Seeing her so well-behaved, Ji Bing's eyebrows finally eased a little, and Xiao Yuexi took the opportunity to say: "Sister-in-law, I still have some things to hand in, take a look, when will it be convenient to let me out of the house?" ”
Ji Bingxin said coldly: "If you don't want to be the eldest lady in your boudoir, you have to run around and toss!" You let me say what you are good about! ”
Xiao Yuexi smiled and looked at her with blank eyes.
Ji Bingxin said again: "It just so happens that your brother is going to stay in Beijing for a while this time, I will discuss with him when I go back, and set up a family for you, you will arrange arrangements during this time, hand over the affairs of the State Supervision Department, and prepare to resign!" ”
Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a moment, put away the smile on her face, and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, even if I want to get married, I don't necessarily have to resign, right?" The Department of Supervision is different from other institutions, you can't think that I am insignificant in it just because I don't listen to the court and have no official position, the relationship in that is complicated! I can't make up for it right away, and I've been keeping an eye on the successor for the past few years, but it's not that easy......"
Ji Bingxin looked at Xiao Yuexi again with a cold expression, dropped the sentence, "That's your business, I'm just here to tell you", and walked away.
In the next few days, Xiao Yuexi was very honest, and An An recuperated in the mansion separately, until the palace ordered to summon him, and Xiao Yuexi went out of the room.
The last time she faced the saint, it was more than a month ago, she received news that His Royal Highness King Kang, who was far away in Connecticut, had made a small move and intended to rebel, and she reported it truthfully, but the emperor only ordered her to secretly collect evidence, and not to startle the snake.
Now that the physical evidence is sufficient, and the human evidence is secretly hidden by her in a safe enough place, the person on the dragon chair is silent, and no one can guess his thoughts.
“…… Emperor? Xiao Yuexi subconsciously glanced up at the person who was high above.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the two has been better since childhood, the prince who was originally not favored, the emperor was not favored, and his brothers and sisters also took pleasure in bullying him, Xiao Yuexi was the most unseemly bullying, and the two gradually became acquainted with each other, but he always looked like a submissive one, and he couldn't change it.
How did such a person stand out in the road to succession, Xiao Yuexi actually didn't care, but there were definitely not a few people who were not convinced, Mu Yunqing had just succeeded to the throne for a month, and King Kang was already ready to rebel, who knows how many forces are still secretly ready to move.
At this juncture, if you want Xiao Yuexi to pick and choose, it's just a joke!
Mu Yun spoke lightly, and his tone was slightly cautious: "Yuexi has worked hard this time, I heard that he was injured, is it better?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's all a small injury, and it's fine."
Mu Yun sighed lightly, slowly stood up from the dragon chair, and walked step by step.
His figure is long, his complexion is excessively pale, and he always has a cautious smile on his face, even if he is in a high position, he still does not have half the majesty that a superior person should have. He stood in front of Xiao Yuexi and said with a sad face: "Sitting in this position, I often think of the past, Yuexi, you in the past, you will not be like me......"
Xiao Yuexi took half a step back, and said without surprise: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Compared to these, the emperor still thinks about how to deal with His Royal Highness King Kang. ”
"Brother Great, he ...... It's pitiful that he was banished by his father to a poor place like Connecticut, and I ...... Forget it! As long as he's not too much, let him go! ”
"......" are all about to rebel, isn't it too much? What is too much in his eyes? Xiao Yuexi was speechless, stunned by his cowardice, and it took a long time to regain the strength to speak, and said indifferently: "Since the task has been completed, if the emperor has nothing else, Weichen will go back first." ”
Mu Yun paused lightly, nodded and said, "You have a good rest." ”
When Xiao Yuexi withdrew from the oath hall, the worry in his eyes flashed, is it really okay for His Majesty the Emperor to have such a weak temperament......
"Hey! What do you think! Xiao Yuexi shook her head and muttered to herself: "How can it be your turn to supervise the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven?" Let's look into your case! ”
