Xiao Yurui was silent for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, from tomorrow, we will practice for one more hour every day, I will pick you up half an hour early and send you back half an hour later, how to make the people in the house not doubt the changes in your breakfast and lunch postponement, you can figure it out yourself, in addition to martial arts and equestrianism, I will teach you archery again." ”

"Great, thank you cousin, don't worry, I will take care of the affairs in the house, then I will change my clothes and wait for you tomorrow half an hour early." Ling Yuxin was excited.

Looking at Ling Yuxin's excited look, the corners of Xiao Yurui's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then you can rest at home today, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

Ling Yuxin saw that Xiao Yurui was planning to leave, and hurriedly asked, "Cousin, are you going to leave now?" ”

Xiao Yurui didn't answer and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Ling Yuxin was stunned for a moment before she said, "Uh...... No, it's just ......" I couldn't help but say a little hesitantly: "It's just that you've just arrived, and you're going to leave without sitting for a while." ”

Xiao Yurui had a smile in his eyes, "Xin'er is reluctant to let me go?" ”

Ling Yuxin suddenly felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and she pursed her lips and said, "No." I just ...... "glanced at the sand table," I just researched a new formation, and I want my cousin to see it and give me some advice. ”

"Oh, I see, but I've seen it all just now, haven't I also given advice!" The smile in Xiao Yurui's eyes deepened.

Ling Yuxin noticed that Xiao Yurui was deliberately teasing her, she was slightly annoyed, blushed and pouted, "Then you can leave quickly, don't send it." ”

Xiao Yurui looked at Ling Yuxin's embarrassed and annoyed look, his heart was slightly fluttering, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch Ling Yuxin's nose, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my cousin also wants to stay a little longer, but I met Wei Chifeng at the door just now, and I heard him say that the hussar camp had captured all the assassins last night, and the emperor had already ordered those people to be executed at noon today, I want to go and find out before noon." ”

Ling Yuxin was surprised: "You've already caught everyone? Are you sure? So fast? Hussar battalions are so powerful? ”

Xiao Yurui sneered, "With my understanding of the hussar camp, they really can't get along with the word powerful, I just feel that something is wrong, so I want to quickly find out." ”

Ling Yuxin's face showed a puzzled look, "Is the hussar camp very bad?" Aren't he and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion called the two battalions of iron cavalry in this dynasty? ”

Xiao Yurui smiled and asked, "Who told you?" ”

"It's recorded in the book you brought to Twilight Villa, cousin!"

Xiao Yurui explained: "That's right, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Hussar Battalion were indeed called the two battalions of iron cavalry of this dynasty, but that is because these two battalions of cavalry made great contributions to the establishment of our dynasty when this dynasty was founded. But time has passed, and today's cavalry battalions and hussar battalions are no longer what they used to be. ”

"Oh." Ling Yuxin suddenly said, "No wonder, when I returned to Beijing and was assassinated, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion would be so vulnerable to the enemy, and I have been wondering how the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, known as the "Iron Cavalry" of this dynasty, could be so bad!" ”

Xiao Yurui smiled: "If I tell you that the hussar camp is not even as good as the Xiao cavalry camp, based on your observation of those black-clothed masked men yesterday, do you think it is possible for the hussar camp to capture all of them?" ”

Ling Yuxin thought about it very seriously, and then shook her head with certainty, "Impossible, I'm sure that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is definitely no match for those black-clothed masked people, if the Hussar Battalion is not even as good as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, then they will never be able to capture those black-clothed masked people." ”

Xiao Yurui's eyes flashed with appreciation, "So, I'm going to get things clear before those people are executed." ”

Ling Yuxin subconsciously frowned and opened her mouth to speak.

Xiao Yurui didn't wait for Ling Yuxin to speak, and said solemnly: "I know you are also curious at the moment, but before the matter is clarified, as long as you go out, you will be in danger, and it is inconvenient for me to take you to investigate, so you have to stay at home obediently, and I will naturally tell you when I figure it out." ”

Although Ling Yuxin was reluctant, she also knew that she would not be able to help if she followed at the moment, and if she didn't do it, she would cause trouble for Xiao Yurui, so she pursed her lips and said, "Okay." Then cousin, be careful yourself. ”

Xiao Yurui smiled and nodded, "Don't worry." Then he turned to leave, and when he walked outside the door, Ling Yuxin couldn't help but shout, "Cousin." ”

Xiao Yurui looked back, saw Ling Yuxin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Ling Yuxin bit her lower lip and said softly, "It's good that you're back." With that, he turned red and went into the inner room.

The corners of Xiao Yurui's mouth curled upward, and after looking at Ling Yuxin's back and disappearing from sight, he turned around and left.

Out of the Ling Mansion, Xiao Yurui went straight to the palace.

In the Heart Nourishing Palace, Imperial Doctor Zhang was changing the medicine for Zhuo Haoxuan.

After Imperial Doctor Zhang changed into medicine and bandaged it, Zhuo Haoxuan asked casually while dressing, "But someone asked you why you came to my palace yesterday!" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, yesterday the queen mother and several mothers came to inquire to the ministers in person or sent people to inquire whether the emperor was in poor health, and the ministers answered them one by one according to the emperor's prior instructions. ”

"Which of the ladies have looked for you?" Zhuo Haoxuan asked casually.

Imperial Doctor Zhang thought for a while, raised his hand and made a gesture of preparing to break his fingers and list them one by one, Zhuo Haoxuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, so he asked instead: "Forget it, you still tell me who hasn't looked for you!" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly put down his hand and replied: "Back to the emperor, only Concubine Qing, Concubine Li and Lin Guiren have not come to inquire about the ministers. ”

Zhuo Haoxuan snorted lightly, and there was no surprise on his face.

Seeing that Zhuo Haoxuan didn't have anything else to ask, Imperial Doctor Zhang finished packing up his things and bowing and exited the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Not long after, Xiao Fu reported by the way that Xiao Yurui asked to see him, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhuo Haoxuan's mouth, and then Zhao De and Xiao Fushun both stepped down, and announced Xiao Yurui's visit.

As soon as Xiao Yurui entered the hall, he frowned almost invisibly, and then saluted respectfully, "The grass people see the emperor." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan immediately got up and stepped forward to help him, and said with a smile: "How many times do you want me to say it, only when our two brothers are not present, you don't have to be polite." ”

Xiao Yurui replied with a smile: "The emperor's intentions are understood by the grass people, but we are no longer the children of us, the emperor has also ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, and the grass people cannot not worship." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan smiled helplessly, "That's it, I look at your stubborn temper, you can't change it for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Yurui smiled but did not answer.

Zhuo Haoxuan asked, "Where did you go two days ago?" Do you know what happened in the capital yesterday? ”

Xiao Yurui replied lightly: "Go to visit a friend." As soon as I entered the city, I heard about it. That's why the grass people came. ”

"Oh?" Zhuo Haoxuan pretended to be surprised, "What have you heard?" ”

"I heard that someone is going to rebel." Xiao Yurui replied calmly, "I also heard that all the people who want to rebel have been captured by the hussar battalion, and the emperor has also ordered that a cadre be beheaded at noon today." ”

"It seems that Chen Wenyin is quite efficient." Zhuo Haoxuan said with satisfaction, "Yurui, you heard about it as soon as you entered the city, which means that this matter has been spread to the streets and alleys. ”

Xiao Yurui saluted calmly, "The grass people don't disturb the emperor's recuperation, and retire first." ”

Zhuo Haoxuan was a little surprised, "Why are you leaving?" Didn't you say that you came to me for this purpose? ”

Xiao Yurui replied lightly: "Yes, the grass people are here to find the emperor to verify two things. ”

"What two things?" Zhuo Haoxuan couldn't help frowning, "Since you're here to verify two things, why don't you leave without even asking?" ”

"Both things have been confirmed, so naturally there is no need to ask again, so as not to disturb the emperor's recuperation."

Zhuo Haoxuan's slightly frowning brows deepened a little, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Yu Rui, you have confused me, what two things are you here to verify?" How has it been proven! ”

Xiao Yurui saw the change in Zhuo Haoxuan's expression, but he still replied with a light smile quietly: "The two things that the grass people originally wanted to verify, first, is whether Zhuo Gongzi, who met Xin'er on the street the day before yesterday and sacrificed his life to save her yesterday, is the emperor; Second, whether the so-called assassins captured by the hussar battalion were the black-clad masked men who chased and killed Xin'er yesterday. And now that the grass people have been answered, they naturally don't need to ask more. ”

Zhuo Haoxuan was silent for a moment, and asked, "I really want to know how you were confirmed without asking. ”

Xiao Yurui's tone was still calm, "When the grass people entered the palace, the smell of medicine in the emperor's bedroom had already confirmed the grass people's first question, and the emperor's words about the efficiency of Lord Chen's work had already answered the grass people's second question. ”

Zhuo Haoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can understand the first point you said, but how do you say the second point?" I'm just saying that Chen Wenyin is efficient, how can you know if those people are really assassins? ”

Xiao Yurui said lightly: "Yi Xin'er's description, based on the grass people's understanding of the hussar camp, those black-clothed masked people are by no means easy to capture by Wei Wenjie with the hussar camp, not to mention that they are all captured alive, the grass people have almost no doubts about this, but what makes the grass people puzzle is the emperor's holy decree, if it is indeed as the grass people expected, then the emperor will never be deceived by Wei Wenjie, but the emperor's will proves that the emperor admitted that the person captured by the hussar camp is yesterday's assassin, so the grass people will be puzzled and want to come to the emperor for verification." But the emperor's words just now have already made it clear that the emperor is not blinded, but only in order to take into account the overall situation and calm the people's hearts, he will push the boat and make mistakes. ”

Zhuo Haoxuan lowered his eyelids, hiding the cold glint that flashed in his eyes, but his tone was still calm, "Then in your opinion, who are the people captured by Wei Wenjie?" Where would the real Assassins be, and by whom? ”

"Is the emperor testing the grass people?" Xiao Yurui asked half-truthfully.

"Look at what you said, why am I testing you? I want to hear what you think. Zhuo Haoxuan's smile was as sincere and friendly as ever.
