It was night, the night was hazy, and a figure quietly walked through the streets and alleys to an empty place outside Tianshui City. Under the moonlight, there were already people standing there alone, and the people who came walked slowly behind him, and he didn't turn around.

"Why, call me here." It was a young woman's voice that spoke, and the tone was slightly angry.

The man turned around, and the somewhat bewitching face was not Rong Ruo, it was anyone, he replied with a chuckle, "The eldest lady is angry, I just want to confirm how your mission has been completed." ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll do it well."

"Oh, it's me who is too worried, presumably the eldest lady will not forget that you and I have a contract, I hope that my information is wrong, you have to remember it, you don't want to make friends when you go to Shiqi Academy."

"What to do is my business."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then."

"You said it wouldn't kill anyone." The woman's tone suddenly lost its previous toughness, and she said in a tone that seemed to be pleading, "You won't hurt her, will you?" ”

"It's up to you to do it?" Rong Ruo looked at her with an expressionless face.

"I see, I'll do what you tell me, but I beg you not to hurt her." She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was running away from, but it was too late. She raised her eyes again, looked at Rong Ruo, and said, "Haven't you heard from her yet?" ”

"If there is news, we will naturally let you know, you just need to do your own thing." After speaking, Rong Ruo walked into the vast night.

The woman hid her face and cried bitterly, why is this the way things are, and if she had known that this would be the case, would she still make a contract with this person?

The next day, when she got up in the morning, Xiyun thought about going to Tian Zhenzhen to have a good chat, in fact, she wanted to know more about Xiao Jingyu from Tian Zhenzhen. She called the maid a few times, and the maid replied lazily, "Xiyun, you go, I want to rest in the room." ”

"What's wrong with you, aren't you sick?" Xiyun wanted to reach out and touch the girl's forehead, but the girl blocked it with her hand, looking at the corners of Xiyun's mouth slightly raised, and smiled a little bitterly, "I'm fine, you just let me stay on the bed for a while." ”

Although she felt that the concubine was a little strange, Xiyun didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because she really didn't want to get up, so it was up to her. She packed up by herself and went out, this time, she didn't bring Ning Xiang and Biyu with her, just like that, she walked towards Tian Youzhai alone.

Compared with the comfort of Tianshui City at this time, there are more and more people in the rivers and lakes in the capital, as if they are waiting for something.

In the palace, Xiao Jinghao was sitting alone in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, his hands on his cheeks, his eyes seemed to be looking at the flowers outside the court, but he didn't have any focus, and his brows were tightly locked.

Not far away, Tang Emperor Xiao Chengqi was quietly looking at Xiao Jinghao, and Wu An, the eunuch who was close to him, reminded loudly, "Your Majesty, do you want to step forward?" ”

"No need, it's time for Jing'er to grow up." After speaking, Xiao Chengqi coughed lightly a few times, he trembled and held the hand of the eunuch Wu An, and looked up at the sky, "Is it the autumn solstice, I always feel a little cold on my body." ”

"It's time for the autumn solstice." Wu An echoed casually, but there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

Xiao Jinghao didn't notice that Xiao Chengqi appeared, he tried to digest everything that the imperial grandfather told him. Half a month ago, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xiyun and returned to the capital, and hurried all the way, thinking that the emperor's grandfather was sick.

After he entered the palace, he found that although the emperor's grandfather had lost a lot of weight, his spirit was still acceptable. Xiao Chengqi saw Xiao Jinghao, who had been away for a month, and did not blame, it was getting late, Xiao Chengqi ordered the imperial dining room to prepare Xiao Jinghao's favorite dishes.

I thought that Xiao Chengqi would blame him, but when it came, he didn't mention anything about running away, but Xiao Jinghao felt more and more strange, on weekdays, he was naughty and mischievous, and he always had to reprimand, but now he has been playing outside for so long, without half a word, this is very abnormal, and the strange feeling makes Xiao Jinghao's heart more and more uneasy.

After the grandfather and grandson finished dinner, and when the eunuch finished serving refreshments, Xiao Chengqi asked them all to go down and let Wu An stay at the door.

Wu An closed the door gently, looking at the gradually closing gate, Xiao Jinghao squinted and secretly glanced at Xiao Chengqi, thinking, what should come will always come. As soon as Xiao Chengqi's hand was raised, Xiao Jinghao hurriedly reached out to catch it, causing Xiao Chengqi to look puzzled and asked, "Jing'er, what is this for?" ”

It turned out that Xiao Jinghao thought that Xiao Chengqi was going to shoot him and make a false alarm, so he put down Xiao Chengqi's arm and slowly put it down, snorted, and said, "I'm not afraid that Grandpa Huang's hand will be raised for a long time and tired." ”

Xiao Chengqi knew his thoughts, and he didn't pierce them, and now he doesn't have much time. He looked at the young man who was still playing in front of him, his brows were deeply locked, if he encountered an accident, the world would really be handed over to him, could he really keep it.

"You still know that you care about me, and you thought you only remembered to play." Xiao Chengqi's tone was mocking, and he glared at Xiao Jinghao

Xiao Jinghao smiled and sat on the foot pedal under the collapse, rubbed Xiao Chengqi's legs, remembering that before, every time he made a mistake, as long as he hugged Xiao Chengqi's legs, Xiao Chengqi would not bear to punish him in the end.

"Grandpa Huang, I don't just want to go out just to play, I also want to inspect the cities for you to see if the people live and work in peace and contentment." Xiao Jinghao said seriously.

Xiao Chengqi knew that this kid could speak well, and he didn't talk nonsense with him. He said solemnly, "Jing'er, if I hand over this world to you, can you protect this river and mountain for me?" ”

"Leave it to me, if you hand over the world to me, I will be the ......" Xiao Jinghao said to his lips, looked at Xiao Chengqi in astonishment, and immediately stood up and took two steps back, "Grandpa Huang, you are making a big joke, I am just a hairy boy, I dare not care about the affairs of the world." Besides, with the emperor's grandfather here, this world is not good. ”

Xiao Chengqi expected Xiao Jinghao to have this reaction, he sighed, his eyes were a little confused, and said faintly, "The world is about to be unpeaceful!"

"Grandpa Huang, what's going on?" Xiao Jinghao has not yet seen the resolute and resolute Xiao Chengqi, when he is so fragile, his emaciated figure seems to be the candlelight swaying in the wind, although it is bright and red, but the next moment it will be extinguished by the chaotic wind blowing from nowhere. Xiao Jinghao's heart couldn't help but burn, he wanted to protect the candle flame, and he didn't hesitate.

He walked in front of Xiao Chengqi, hugged Xiao Chengqi's leg like he did when he was a child, and said in a firm tone, "Grandpa Huang, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side and protect you." ”

Xiao Chengqi looked at Xiao Jinghao dotingly, raised his hand to caress his black hair, this person he has cared for since he was a child, at this time, he has grown into a man and has a responsibility. It is said that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, but in fact, what people in the world don't know is that the most difficult thing in the world is also the emperor.
