"Xiaoyun said you haven't slept all night," Xiao Ji didn't squint, but his voice softened, "So I made a special trip to get a piece of pastry for you." ”

Cheng Shuiyao was a little moved in her heart, glanced at Xiao Ji, reached out to take the pastry a little shyly, and ate it while everyone was not paying attention.

Xiao Ji really thought about the details, she could eat this pastry in one bite, which avoided embarrassment to the greatest extent.

Xiao Ji saw that she had eaten, and her eyes slowed down a little, but because the prime minister was standing next to her, she didn't say anything more, and looked straight ahead again.

Cheng Shuiyao felt that her heartbeat was a little fast, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ji, but she was afraid that he would find out, so she could only glance at it hastily, and then quickly turned her head away.

The smell of blood she smelled before going out was definitely not something that could be emitted by a small wound, since Xiao Ji hadn't even returned home, he definitely didn't have time to deal with it, and the only time to deal with the wound was when he changed his clothes.

But the scent of smoke on Xiao Ji's body was so strong that she couldn't tell if he had taken good care of his wounds.

Again......

Cheng Shuiyao coughed, her expression a little solemn.

The emperor was attacked the day before today, how do you look at this thing, if Xiao Ji was saving people last night, it would be fine, but if it is......

Taken aback by this thought, Cheng Shuiyao quickly reined in her thoughts, not daring to follow this thought anymore.

Of course, the situation did not allow her to think about anything else, because the emperor finally came over.

"Let's begin," the Emperor said, as he walked up the highest steps and nodded to the celebrant beside him.

Naturally, the ceremonial officer didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly began to worship the heavens according to the process.

This process was very boring and cumbersome, Cheng Shuiyao was drowsy, but she didn't dare to really fall asleep, and kept pinching herself in her sleeves.

finally completed this whole process, Cheng Shuiyao collapsed on the seat as soon as he got into the carriage, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Let's sleep for a while," Xiao Ji was much more energetic than her, pulled her into his arms, and closed her eyes for her without saying a word.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't say much, she really fell asleep.

The carriage went very smoothly all the way, and it had been more than an hour since he returned to the mansion, Cheng Shuiyao opened his eyes the moment the carriage stopped, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or not.

Xiao Ji looked preoccupied and didn't pay much attention to this detail, but when he saw that she was awake, he took her hand and entered the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Shuiyao directly instructed Xiaoyun, "Go and get the medicine box." ”

"No need to ......" Xiao Ji instantly reacted to what she was going to do, and hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late.

Cheng Shuiyao shook her head with a serious face, her expression a little cold.

Xiao Ji shut up, didn't dare to say anything, and let her go.

Cheng Shuiyao took the medicine box, pulled all the subordinates back, and then looked at Xiao Ji.

"I'll just do it myself." Xiao Ji still wanted to struggle, so he reached out to pick up the box.

Cheng Shuiyao shook his head, decisively untied Xiao Ji's clothes, and reached out to untie the white cloth tied to him expressionlessly.

It was a bright red.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at the bloody chest, and couldn't find a good place for a while.

When he stretched out, he stayed in mid-air, Cheng Shuiyao's face sank a little, and he raised his head to look at Xiao Ji and spoke, "What happened last night?" ”

"Nothing." Xiao Ji keenly sensed that something was wrong, and opened his mouth while waving his hand.

Cheng Shuiyao pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just treated the wound gently, and then put on a new white cloth for him.

Xiao Ji didn't dare to speak during the whole process, staring at Cheng Shuiyao's expression all the time, struggling with the timing of speaking.

"I didn't mean to kill you." Cheng Shuiyao retied his clothes for him, sighed and spoke, "It's just that you haven't come back overnight, and as soon as you come back, you will have such a serious injury, I will inevitably be a little anxious." ”

When she said this, Cheng Shuiyao's tone was a little choked, as if she was suppressing something.

Xiao Ji frowned slightly, and hurriedly reached out to lift Cheng Shuiyao's face, just in time to see the tears that she hadn't had time to retract.

He was so seriously injured last night, and he didn't say a word, but at this time, he was really distressed.

"Let me ease my mood for a moment." Cheng Shuiyao knew that she was a little hypocritical like this, so she hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, and turned her face to clean up her feelings.

After a pillar of incense, Cheng Shuiyao finally turned her head again, and pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "You can rest for a while, and leave the rest to me first." ”

"I'll tell you the specifics first." Xiao Ji couldn't see that she was smiling now, so she didn't hide anything, and directly told her all about last night.

Originally, he was just trying to deal with some small things, but when he passed by the palace, he suddenly found a group of men in black ambushing around the palace

As keen as he was, he naturally noticed that something was wrong with this matter for the first time, and quickly entered the palace to investigate.

Fortunately, he discovered these things in time, otherwise the emperor's dragon body would probably not be guaranteed.

But the killers sent to assassinate the emperor were all professionally trained, and when he entered the palace alone, he naturally had no subordinates to help, so he could only fight alone.

"So you killed everyone on the other side by yourself?" Cheng Shuiyao's eyes widened, and he finally knew where the wounds on his body came from.

In that case, it is really not easy for Xiao Ji to come back alive.

"It's not all killed, I don't have that much ability, otherwise I wouldn't have been so seriously injured," Xiao Ji smiled bitterly, and then spoke, "Just when I couldn't hold it alone, the guards of the palace found out about this and hurried to support, but I was physically exhausted and couldn't block the last knife for the emperor." ”

That's why the emperor came late today.

Cheng Shuiyao finally knew the cause and effect of this incident, and her mood was a little heavy.

It wasn't the worst she expected, but it was the same.

Xiao Ji was so seriously injured, and he was able to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony with a blank face, I am afraid that it was all supported by willpower, and when this strength was released, things would be in trouble.

"You don't have to worry about anything, I'll take care of the rest." Xiao Ji patted Cheng Shuiyao and slowly lay on his back on the bed.

"You ......" Cheng Shuiyao wanted to say something, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he found that he had fallen asleep.

Xiao Ji is a very vigilant person, and he can sleep so without scruples, he should be tired.

Reaching out to tuck the corner of the quilt for Xiao Ji, Cheng Shuiyao didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly walked out of the room.

Entering the main hall, Cheng Shuiyao looked at the ink chess on the side, and said expressionlessly, "What was the situation last night?" ”

"Didn't the master tell you?" Mo Qi was stopped by her words, and his expression was a little hesitant.
