Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Abandoned Son (3)

The voice was muffled in the thin coat of Tuanjin, bringing some Jiangnan women to be delicate and soft.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." As if he was tired, he opened his mouth slightly, and then there was no sound, presumably it was a fake sleep, Tuoba Chen was a little funny, remembering last night, he only felt that he had been tossed for a long time, he was refreshed, and there was a slight sound outside the door, which was wishful.

"Your Majesty wants to wash?" The voice was clear but low, and Xu was also worried that the noise would cause the masters to rest.

Tuoba Chen dragged He Xi's thin jacket, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I won't bother you, just stuff carefully, you will have a good rest today, and I will go to the early court." ”

Low and gentle, and gently touched He Xi's head, then got up and helped change clothes and wash by Ruyi, Ruyi looked towards the bed while tying the ring belt, only to see He Xi's beautiful eyes slightly closed, as if she was really asleep.

"Your little master is tired, let her sleep a little longer." Tuoba Chen commanded.

Ruyi sighed, and then said no more.

After Tuoba Chen left, He Xi let down the vigilance of her whole body, although she believed in the efficacy of Gao Yuan's medicine, but as long as she was lying by Tuoba Chen's side, she felt as if she had fallen into a sea of flames, and it was difficult to sleep.

Ruyi went out with water, and Chou'er came in, holding a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup in his hand, and walked to the edge of He Xi's collapse and said: "If the little master wants to sleep, he must eat a few bites first, it must be a night of sleeplessness, it is really hard for the little master." ”

He Xi propped himself up a little tiredly, and said with a wry smile: "It's still your sweetness, ugly, I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy in my heart, you watch the palace for me, if there is something going on, hurry up and go back to me." ”

The ugly nodded, fed a few mouthfuls of soft porridge, and gently lowered the veil of tulle to block the light from outside, and then retreated.

Ruyi was standing outside the door, and when he saw the ugly child coming out, he hurriedly asked, "The little master is resting?" ”

Chou'er snorted, remembered Fang Cai Hexi's instructions, and carefully relayed Ruyi before he gave up.

This night, He Xi slept very deeply, but was very unstable, faintly heard the child's cry in her ears, she looked back in her dream, and saw the face of the palace maid Li Jingui, the expression on her face was very strange, obviously smiling, grinning a mouthful of white teeth, but the eyes were red and full of tears, she looked down at the child.

As soon as the picture turned, this child turned out to be Mu Jin when he was a child, about the same size, but he was as cute as a pink carving, and a sea of fire suddenly rose in front of her, and she watched Li Jingui and Xiao Mujin being swallowed in the sea of fire.

She wanted to move, but her feet seemed to have roots, she wanted to call for help, but she couldn't make the slightest sound, at this time she was more like a spectator under the stage, followed by grief and anger, followed by joy, but could not change a bit.

Xiao Mujin cried heartbreakingly, and kept calling A-Niang in her mouth.

Her chest rose and fell violently, as if there were monsters fighting and plundering among the internal organs, she struggled, even if she wanted to take a step, but it was in vain, she looked down, but saw that her hands were tightly restrained by a pair of big hands with distinct bones, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Tuoba Yue, like herself, looking at the scene in front of her, the flames kept moving up and down in his pupils.

He was laughing, and that smile was indifferent and ruthless, and even had the momentum of looking at the world.

In a blink of an eye, his face became Tuoba Chen's again, bright and dark, in a trance, very weird.

"Little master, little master, wake up, wake up, it's not good." I felt that Dao's body was shaking, and there was a sound of Ruyi's urging in my ears.

Suddenly, I felt something cold on my forehead, a trace of clarity in my mind, and I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Ruyi pinching a water-soaked handkerchief in his hand, and was helping He Xi wipe his forehead.

He Xi only felt that his body was weak for a while, and the desperate scene in the dream seemed to be engraved in his mind, lingering, as if he was about to break his head.

Tiredly, he put his hands on both sides of his forehead and rubbed them gently, thinking of Fang Caiyi's words, the uneasiness in his heart was even worse. Hurriedly asked, "But what happened?" ”

Ruyi nodded again and again, and said in a low voice: "Early this morning, I heard that the sin slave was in the water, and the fire was very big, which alarmed the Praetorian Guards, but when I didn't want to put out the fire, I found out and found a crazy palace maid and a one- or two-year-old boy. They have already reported to the queen, and I am afraid that they will go over when they wait until His Majesty's court. ”

Every word was clear to her ears, but He Xi felt as if she couldn't understand every word, as if she could understand it, her fingers were stirred together, and only three words poured out of her heart: Tuoba Yue.

Why, he obviously promised him, but he went back on his word, Tuoba Yue, Mingming, I already believe in you.

At this time, in the court, Tuoba Chen looked at the list of personnel in his hand, and said with a smile: "The seventh brother is too cautious, just hire a few palace people, this income and expenditure, but the personnel roster is readily available, and these will be exempted in the future." The tomb was deserted, and it was so large that it would have taken months to sort it out one by one. ”

Tuoba Yue bowed respectfully and said: "Since it is a task assigned by His Majesty, the minister should do his best to complete it, but since His Majesty trusts his brother, his brother will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

The two brothers looked at each other, but they looked like brothers, friends and brothers.

Tuoba Chen looked around for a week, and asked loudly, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

At this time, Zhang Minyuan, the newly appointed household servant, stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister tapped the account books of the past years, he found that the number of account books was chaotic, and there were many places that did not match, and the minister spent a month tapping the accounts, and this is the wrong place." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and presented the thick account in his hand.

The faces of everyone in the court changed, and they bowed their hands casually, but they made eye contact with each other, and they could see the meaning of apprehension in everyone's eyes.

In the swamp, no one is completely clean, Lan Zhili also panicked in his heart, as the prime minister of a country, the court, must all be looked at by him.

But he has gone through two dynasties, what kind of wind and waves have he not seen? Isn't the lintel as prominent as Mu's already defeated by his own men?

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, Tuoba Chen, who was at the top, just looked at the accounts in front of him with a gloomy face, and sneered: "My younger brother, if you ask a worker, you must report it truthfully, the children of the royal family are still like this, look at you!" ”

He seemed to be in a hurry, and threw the contents of his hand the stone steps below. The white marble ground clearly reflects the words on the fold.

Lan Zhili glanced at it lightly, only to see that the booklet had marked the problematic accounts with red cinnabar one by one, very meticulously, and hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Lord Zhang is safe and careful, this is the blessing of my calendar, but the previous household servant was dismissed because of corruption and bribery, presumably he can understand this account."

As soon as he knelt down, everyone knelt on the ground and echoed, Tuoba Chen looked at all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who were in the same breath as Lan Zhili, and his anger in his heart deepened.

He didn't pay attention to Lan Zhili's defense at all, and the meaning of his words, Tuoba Chen also deliberately avoided it.

"Zhang Minyuan, you follow this direction to investigate, and when the time comes, I want to see who is so bold!"

Zhang Minyuan arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After this, no one spoke, and when he went down, he saw Fuqing hurriedly running up and whispering: "Your Majesty, something happened." ”

I saw him whispering a few words in Tuoba Chen's ear, Tuoba Chen was angry about the things in the court, and when he heard that it was just this little thing, he said a little impatiently: "Isn't it just going to water, the sin slave is located in a remote place, and it can't reach other palaces, just extinguish it." ”

Tuoba Yue, who was about to leave, heard the three words of the sin slave, and couldn't help but pause, but it was only an instant, and he walked out of the palace quickly.

Outside the Taihe Palace, Yueqi was anxiously waiting for something, and when she saw Tuoba Yue coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, something happened to Li Jingui's mother and son, Tuoba Yue's expression was solemn as if she was about to drop raindrops and said, "Find out what's going on?" ”

Yue Qi shook his head and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and we just received the news, and our subordinates are waiting for the prince here, and now I heard that people and children have been pressed to Weiyang Palace." What should we do? ”

Yue Qi whispered. I don't know why, Tuoba Yue's mind unconsciously remembered He Xilai, her expression yesterday, He Xi who stood so persistently in front of Li Jingui's mother and son, what should she do now? I must have been disappointed in myself.

He pondered for a long time before he whispered, "Someone go and send a message to that person and ask her for help." Yue Qiyi was stunned, but he also knew that the situation was urgent, and he couldn't wait for himself to think about it, so he hurried down to make arrangements.

In the Weiyang Palace, it was already full of concubines at this time, and Lan Ruo was still sitting on the top, and it was the one who asked for peace today and left in a hurry in the future.

Xu Qing'er's face was strange, as if she didn't know why the queen was so angry, of course she didn't know that when Li Jingui was favored, she hadn't entered the palace yet.

The tips of Lan Ruo's hands were cold, she didn't know that this Li Jingui had secretly given birth to a son, and the punishment of the Shen Criminal Division could drive her crazy, but it couldn't knock out the evil seed in her stomach.

"Queen Mother, the little master of Concubine Xi has come to say goodbye." There was a loud report from the little eunuch outside.

Lan Ruo said with a cold face: "Today's Weiyang Palace is very lively, please come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Xi walked in from outside the hall with Ruyi, wearing a light tulle skirt like light smoke and mist.
