A few months ago, on the day when the messenger who came from the war horse galloping thousands of miles knocked on the city gate and broke into the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Zaiyang had a cold and was left in the Qinzheng Palace by the emperor, but he never missed this great change.

When he left the sage book and hurried to the imperial study, the soldier who had finished talking about the whole thing in one breath had just been carried out, his clothes were ragged and wounded, and his blood-blistered hand hung down weakly, so that people did not dare to look at it again after a hurried glance, and they were terrified to determine whether this person was still alive.

Tang Zhengde, who was walking in the front, blocked Xiao Zaiyang from touching the soldier's hand with his body: "I'm too tired, just rest well." After speaking, he split his eyes, "Your Majesty is waiting for you." ”

It's okay.

Xiao Zaiyang took a long breath and relaxed, trying his best to control his somewhat trembling body, and walked around the line of eunuchs.

There is no mess in the imperial study, but it is still very regular. The emperor sat on the seat in the middle, holding the blood-stained war book tightly in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Zaiyang, he put it aside, got up and supported his staggering son, and said, "Be careful." ”

"I'm fine-" Xiao Zaiyang's eyes kept drifting to the position of the war book, but he didn't dare to look at it in person, so he had to open his mouth and ask what he thought in his heart: "The battle situation, how is the battle situation......

The emperor lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately.

The two were in a stalemate for a moment before Xiao Zaiyang felt a broad palm caress the top of his head.

"Remember today," said the Emperor, "and never forget it." ”

And he understood.

Xiao Zaiyang struggled with his emotions with red eyes, and the wetness accumulated in his eyes refused to fall, and finally hugged his father who had been blocking the wind and rain in front of him.

Countless sounds echoed in Xiao Zaiyang's ears.

There is the emperor's sentence "The Huns raided, lost the first battle, and General He was killed." His wife, Jiang Ruwan, was in charge of the husband, but was seriously injured and was in danger. There is also the fierce wind sound of General He playing with guns in the school field in the past, and Jiang Ruwan's soft voice.

After Xiao Zaiyang learned the truth about the death of his biological mother, for a period of time, the whole person was much decadent, and the emperor had the heart to appease but was entangled in government affairs, and he really couldn't spare time.

In desperation, Jiang Ruwan, who was cultivating in the capital because her daughter was young, took the initiative to enter the palace, and reluctantly assumed the identity of Xiao Zaiyang's female elder when he was a child with the identity of the handkerchief of the Empress Yuan, so that he would not collapse.

To put it mildly, He Xiuzhu and Emperor Naishi died as confidants, but Xiao Zaiyang had a deeper friendship with Jiang Ruwan.

However, now that the old people are buried in the white sand, he can only face their orphan daughter.

He Qianwei, who was close to him, was still sobbing, he wanted to comfort a few words, but he couldn't speak, hesitated again and again, or reached out to hug the other party.

There was a faint sound of talking outside the hall, followed by someone walking towards this side with unhurried steps.

This step deliberately increases the force in order to attract attention. Xiao Zaiyang did what people wanted, and he was distracted and followed the prestige.

Ji Xiu stood there with a strange expression, bowed down from a short distance, and pointed the dust outside.

Xiao Zaiyang shook his head, and Ji Xiu quietly walked out again, stopping Mama Chen, who was confused by the second monk.

Following the emperor's past movements, he bypassed the loose bun and rubbed it on the top of the girl's head, Xiao Zaiyang said softly: "Don't cry. ”

He Qianwei's body shook and continued to cry regardless of it.

…… Well, that's not quite right.

Xiao Zaiyang said self-reflectively.

During the day, the companions talked about not knowing how many things, and they all talked about the love and hatred of the sisters in the family, but when asked how to make the little girl happy, they all asked three questions: after all, they are all teenagers, very energetic, cats hate dogs, and generally can't play with girls of the same age.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought like this, completely forgetting that he was also in this ghostly age range.

After digging out his mind and thinking about it, Xiao Zaiyang hesitated and spoke again: "Cry carefully and your eyes are swollen, tomorrow will be very uncomfortable." ”

- What are you talking about!

At this time, Xiao Zaiyang wished that he had never opened his mouth, and he had already regretted his decision to rot Mama Chen outside the palace.

God is pitiful, since he was a child, he has read the books of sages and sages, and the prince who has completed his homework extremely beautifully has never coaxed anyone, even if he has the mind of turning a hundred times more, he can't always say one, two, or three when he opens his mouth. Now that he is coaxing people, the effect is not very good, so it is better to let Mama Chen in.

If it is a grandmother who has been by her side since she was a child, she can always comfort He Qianwei well, at least so that she will not cry so sadly.

At least not like now, the little girl's tears seemed to be endless, and Xiao Zaiyang could only gently pat her back again and again, and simply closed her mouth and said no more.

At this time, the red wheel was already falling outside, and the palace people also took the lights one after another, but no one in this hall dared to come in and disturb.

In the darkness of the room, Xiao Zaiyang's wooden stake, who had completely given up, generally did not move, and let He Qianwei cry in his arms, without any impatience.

In fact, He Qianwei calmed down a lot after venting her emotions, but she was embarrassed to stop, she wanted to wait for Xiao Zaiyang to calm down a few words, and then stop the donkey going downhill.

But who knew that Xiao Zaiyang would not comfort people at all, and then she didn't open her mouth directly, and she could only symbolically keep whimpering.

He Qianwei, who was tired enough to cry but couldn't hold on, grabbed the other party's robe and raised her head timidly: "You...... Aren't you tired? ”

"A little."

Xiao Zaiyang subconsciously replied.

He quickly reacted and wanted to make amends, but unfortunately his brain couldn't find words, and he held back for a long time and finally whispered: "...... There really is only one point. ”

"Then I'm a little tired, too." He Qianwei's eyes fluttered around, but she didn't dare to look at the person in front of her, "Or, take it slowly?" ”

"At least light the lamp."

That's exactly what happened.

Xiao Zaiyang got up and went to the door to call people.

When he came back, his eyes widened as if he suddenly remembered something, and he looked at He Qianwei with a shocked face.

He was obviously greatly frightened, but he didn't dare to speak considering the little girl's emotions, until He Qianwei turned her face away embarrassedly and explained to him in a delicate way.

"I cried enough last night...... It's just that now I suddenly learned the truth and was sad for a while, but I didn't have the strength to cry anymore. ”

What's more, she is the daughter of a general, and she grew up listening to the teaching of the death of a confidant since she was a child, and she more or less expected such an outcome.

Although she was grief-stricken, she knew that for her father, it was an honor to be a soldier, and she should not sink into the past.

Xiao Zaiyang nodded, and was about to ask what happened last night, but the sound of hurried footsteps had already sounded one after another.

Mama Chen was concerned about the chaos, and walked in the front first, but saw that the atmosphere of the two was harmonious.

- If you ignore He Qianwei's red and swollen eyes and Xiao Zaiyang's obviously darker robe.

Mama Chen was waiting outside for a long time, and heard a faint cry, and guessed what was probably going on, so she no longer had more trouble at this moment, turned her head and handed the nine rings in her hand to He Qianwei, while recombing her hair bun, and at the same time asked Ruolan, who came back with the soup and was worried about the cause and effect, to prepare something to reduce the swelling.

Ruolan, who had just returned, shook around the main hall and ran to the Tai Hospital again.

After combing her hair bun, Mama Chen took the hot towel wrung out in advance from the little palace maid beside her, and gently pressed it on He Qianwei's eyes who were lying obediently.

Xiao Zaiyang saw this step next to him, so he asked, "Why did you cry last night?"

When she mentioned this, He Qianwei was much more energetic, raised her hand and brushed aside Mama Chen, who was dressing her eyes with a towel, and looked directly at Xiao Zaiyang with a pair of apricot eyes, very aggrieved.

She raised her hand violently and pointed to the hall: "Some people say bad things about my father!" ”

The person who was swept by her fingertips silently lowered his head, his heart worried.

Xiao Zaiyang didn't raise his eyes, and snorted lightly: "Ji Xiu? ”

Ji Xiu had an epiphany, and stood beside He Qianwei with a smile: "Which one of you didn't have long eyes to disturb the girl?" ”

He Qianwei had never seen those two palace maids with broken mouths, she only vaguely remembered their timbre, and was stunned by Ji Xiu's question, frowning and thinking for a long time, and finally looked at Xiao Zaiyang with a bitter face.

"I don't know what they look like...... He Qianwei sniffed, and her tears tended to fall again, "You have to support me, Your Highness." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Zaiyang replied in a low voice, curled his knuckles and touched her forehead, "It's okay, I don't know how I look, I can find out who it is." ”

Xiao Zaiyang withdrew his hand, and while motioning for Mama Chen to continue the hot compress, he asked, "What do you remember?" ”

Before He Qianwei could move, she was held in place by Xiao Zaiyang, who had a premonition.

"Don't move. Just say it. ”

“…… Oh. He Qianwei honestly closed her eyes and lay down.

When you can't see anything, people will always subconsciously find something to rely on for themselves, and He Qianwei also turned over and held Xiao Zaiyang's hand as a matter of course, thinking about it intently.

"I remember the voice. If they were talking to me, they would recognize me. ”

Xiao Zaiyang moved his knuckles inappropriately, and did not pull his hand out, but cooperated to get closer to He Qianwei.

"By the way, they should have been on duty last night, if there was no shift change." He Qianwei added, "And it's in the inner sanctum. ”

This narrowed down a lot.

Although Mama Chen was very busy last night, it was a matter of vigil, and she had confirmed it with Ruolan repeatedly, and immediately brought out the names of two people in her heart.

The two of them were assigned to the Yaoguang Hall after entering the palace, and there was no serious master above, so it was no wonder that they were so ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and even forgot the truth that came out of their mouths.

Mama Chen thought about it, but her movements were still skillful, and she didn't hurt He Qianwei at all. And Ji Xiu, as a human spirit who has been immersed in the palace for decades, can also find out what is wrong from the clues in an instant, and while the two masters are pondering, he asked out loud: "Mama, I don't know how the palace affairs of this Yaoguang Palace are arranged?" ”

"The slave doesn't know much about this," Mama Chen said, "but when it comes to the person on duty last night, I have some impressions." In the morning, they smashed the flower pot with their hands and feet, and happened to be met by slaves. ”

"They?"

mentioned the breaking of the flower pot, He Qianwei also had an impression.

At that time, she had just gotten out of bed and was being served by Mama Chen to wash her face, and the whole person was still in a daze, and she was scared away by a soft sound, and she almost fell out of bed without sitting firmly.

Ruolan was choosing jewelry for He Qianwei at the time, and her face suddenly sank, but He Qianwei stopped her intention to punish her heavily.

There is a feeling of kindly feeding the donkey's liver and lungs.

He Qianwei deeply regretted it, it was better to let those two suffer hard and learn a lesson.

Ji Xiu smiled: "This is easy to do." I wonder if Mama would like to go with the slave maid to take a look? ”

Mama Chen naturally responded repeatedly, and when He Qianwei was done, she followed Ji Xiu to the place where the palace maid lived to arrest people.

He Qianwei knew that Mama Chen would definitely not spare this matter, and if she was there, she would make the other party have more concerns, so she simply stayed in place.

The eyes are still a little astringent.

She rubbed her eyes, and saw Xiao Zaiyang fiddling with the nine rings of the white sun with his eyes down, so she asked with great interest, "Can you untie it?" ”
