"Then I will definitely go to cheer you on," Duan Ran smiled excitedly, he could already predict the popularity of this restaurant.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled slightly, but didn't say much about this topic, and took the initiative to talk about something else.

Before he knew it, it was dark, Duan Ran got up unsatisfied, looked outside, and said as if he had just woken up from a dream, "It's so late?" Blame me, the conversation is too engaged. ”

"It's okay, I'm glad you came." Cheng Shuiyao waved her hand and turned her head to look at Xiaoyun, "Hurry up and prepare a carriage for Miss Duan, she is a girl's family, and it is not safe to go back alone." ”

"That's not necessary, with my skills, Xuchang's little thief can't help me, by the way, I heard that tomorrow the palace will hold a ceremony to worship the sky, if it's not early today, you go to bed early!" Duan Ran didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all, waved his hand indifferently, and left here quickly without waiting for Cheng Shuiyao to say anything more.

Xiaoyun chased after her with great discernment, and sent her to the door before refusing to give up.

By the time Xiaoyun came back, Cheng Shuiyao had already removed the complicated hair ornament on her head and looked at her with a smile, "Didn't you send a few people to follow?" ”

"No," Xiao Yun shrugged, "Miss Duan walked too fast, I didn't have time to greet someone." ”

"Forget it, she is not good at it anyway, so if you don't want people to follow, just let her go," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, but she didn't take it to heart.

Duan Ran is right, according to the usual skills of the little thief, he can't beat her at all, and nothing should happen.

While talking, Cheng Shuiyao changed her clothes and went to bed slowly.

"Madame, will you sleep now?" Xiaoyun watched her cover the quilt and was slightly stunned.

"No," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, carefully sorted out the quilt, and spoke slowly, "Husband's side doesn't know what has been delayed, and he hasn't come back yet, I'm a little relieved, I plan to wait for him here, you go down first, I'll read the book." ”

"Yes," Xiaoyun nodded obediently, and the candlelight was lit before leaving.

Cheng Shuiyao casually pulled out a picture book placed next to the pillow and read it carefully with her head propped up.

The story of this book is very exciting, and she read it unconsciously.

By the time she finished reading, it was almost dawn, but Xiao Ji hadn't come back yet.

"Where the hell have you been?" Cheng Shuiyao rubbed her sore eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

She hasn't slept all night, and today's ceremony may be a little difficult.

Let's sleep on the road.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't lie down anymore, and directly called Xiaoyun to come in and dress herself.

Since it is a sacrifice to the sky, you can't wear too much showmanship, Cheng Shuiyao casually chose a dark purple dress, and sat in front of the bronze mirror with her eyes half-closed.

"Madame, you won't sleep all night, will you?" Xiaoyun glanced at Cheng Shuiyao's somewhat dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Hmm," Cheng Shuiyao snorted inaudibly, and he also felt that his actions were ridiculous.

"This ......"

Xiaoyun didn't expect this to be the case, and his tone was a little hesitant, but he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled bitterly again, asking Xiaoyun to cover her dark circles well.

After putting on makeup, Cheng Shuiyao chose a plain hairpin to put on, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Halfway through laughing, Cheng Shuiyao suddenly remembered a stubble, frowned and turned around, "By the way, hasn't my husband come back yet?" ”

"No," Xiaoyun nodded truthfully, and it was very strange about this.

Although Xiao Ji is busy on weekdays, he rarely has a night when he doesn't go home, and this situation like today is really rare.

"Did you see them?" Cheng Shuiyao squinted, feeling that something was wrong with this matter, and hurriedly stood up and wanted to go out to see.

Just went out, and bumped into Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji's body was very cold, not like he had been in the house before, but like he had been outside.

Cheng Shuiyao moved her nose and immediately twisted it, "You have a smell of blood on your body, what did you do last night?" ”

"Dealt with some killers." Xiao Ji didn't describe it, and took it lightly, and Cheng Shui Yao gestured slightly, "You go to the carriage and wait for me first, and I'll change my clothes." ”

With that, Xiao Ji stepped into the house.

Cheng Shuiyao intuitively felt that he didn't tell him the truth, but it was not good to ask him at this time, so he could only step into the carriage.

Xiao Ji's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long for him to get into the carriage and sit firmly beside Cheng Shuiyao.

He should have dealt with it, the smell of blood on his body is now covered by the smell of incense, if he doesn't know about it, I'm afraid Cheng Shuiyao won't be able to see any clues.

"Let's go," Xiao Ji sighed, speaking in a low voice, I don't know if it's tired or what.

Cheng Shuiyao touched his hand silently, didn't rush to get to the bottom of it, and gave him time to rest.

Xiao Ji didn't speak, just leaned against the wall of the car and slowly closed his eyes

The carriage swayed, Cheng Shuiyao fell asleep unconsciously, and the time to open her eyes again had come.

"Get out of the car," Xiao Ji had just woken up, her voice was a little hoarse, but she looked more awake than Cheng Shuiyao.

Cheng Shuiyao nodded and followed Xiao Ji down.

Outside the car, ministers and family members at all levels stood on different steps according to their ranks, looking solemn.

Xiao Ji was not in a good state, so naturally he was not interested in saying hello, and directly pulled Cheng Shuiyao to stand at the station

The emperor has not yet come, and everyone can only stand.

After a while, a whisper sounded behind him.

Cheng Shuiyao glanced at Xiao Ji and saw that he was expressionless, so he didn't speak, and stood with a serious face.

The sun is getting higher and higher, but the emperor has not arrived.

"What's going on?"

"This ...... It's not polite! ”

"It's never been like this before."

Everyone's discussion is getting louder and louder, and no matter how good Rao is Xiao Ji's concentration, it is impossible to ignore these voices.

"What's going on?" Cheng Shuiyao was a little worried, and couldn't help but open her mouth.

"The emperor was attacked last night," Xiao Ji lowered his voice and spoke quietly, "I don't know if I'm awake or not." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Shuiyao couldn't hold back her exclamation, but fortunately, she stood at the front and reacted quickly enough that no one could hear it except Xiao Ji.

"Control it," Xiao Ji quietly glanced at the calm prime minister on the side, and Cheng Shuiyao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cheng Shuiyao noticed Xiao Ji's movements, instantly retracted his voice, and nodded to indicate that he was clear.

The sun continues to rise.

Cheng Shuiyao couldn't stand still, but she didn't dare to make too much movement, so she could only shake her body slightly.

She hadn't slept last night, hadn't eaten breakfast, and now the snow can't hold on.

"Here you go." Xiao Ji sensed that something was wrong with Cheng Shuiyao and reached out to hand her a piece of pastry.

"Why are you ......" Cheng Shuiyao didn't expect him to have this on him, and opened his mouth with a different face.
