Chapter 66: Taking the initiative to ask for marriage
Xiao Changfeng was assassinated and in a coma for more than a month, and only a few days after he resumed his deliberations in the court, he was assassinated on the street, which caused an uproar in the court.
It's just that in this uproar, there was more mockery than surprise.
An official from the Criminal Department asked, "Xiao Xiaohou, how many people have you offended?" Our Manchu dynasty is not as many assassinations as you have encountered! ”
Since Xiao Changfeng was assassinated and fell into a coma, not only Xiao Changfeng's people are investigating the murderer, but even the Criminal Department has not stopped being busy.
Although Emperor Zhao Yan hated Xiao Changfeng, he didn't fall behind when he had to save face.
While hoping that Xiao Changfeng would not wake up for a long time, he strictly ordered the Criminal Department to arrest the murderer and give Xiao Xiao Houfu an explanation.
This person was one of the officials assigned to this assassination.
As a result, before the old case was clarified, the new case came again, and the assassin couldn't find out at all, and it was difficult for him not to be irritable.
"Last time I was a weak woman, this time I was a seller, what a variety of killers!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a faint laughter around.
Xiao Changfeng is a rising star with a bright future, in fact, many ministers in the DPRK wanted to deal with him at the beginning.
However, this little Xiao Hou's heart was as cold and unapproachable as the silver mask on his face.
Everyone touched their cold buttocks with hot faces, and Xiao Hu was afraid that the newly rising Xiao Hou Mansion would affect the status of the old Xiao Hou Mansion, under his deliberate instigation, those who wanted to take refuge in Xiao Changfeng or wanted to win him over finally stood in a team and began to squeeze out Xiao Changfeng.
For these, Xiao Changfeng didn't care about it, and still went his own way.
As he made a few more exploits on the battlefield later, the voices of those exclusions gradually became smaller, and it was easy for anyone to provoke him.
However, probably because Xiao Changfeng's figure has been missing the relationship in the court for almost three months, some people have forgotten how powerful Xiao Changfeng is.
After the silver face, the slender eyes fell to the largest position where the ridicule sounded, and the chill came from all directions, and several civil officials couldn't help but shrink.
In the end, Xiao Changfeng's gaze fell back on the person in the criminal department.
"Ben Hou has been in the army for ten years, and he has been born and died on the battlefield, fought bloody battles, and killed thousands of enemies."
"If Lord Liu thinks that Benhou has offended many people, this is also the right thing."
He knocked on the silver mask on his face, "After all, Ben Hou's life was lucky to survive countless assassinations. ”
The crisp sound of the silver mask reminded Master Liu of the reason why this little Xiao Hou had been wearing a mask.
At that time, this Xiao Hou was still an ordinary personal guard beside the old general Murong.
The killers sent by Fanbang ambushed and intercepted the old general, and everyone was caught off guard, and it was this Xiao Xiao Hou who fought bravely and escorted the old general out of the encirclement.
In the end, he resisted the dozens of people who were pursuing him, and won the opportunity for the old general to join the reinforcements.
The old general Murong who waited for the reinforcements immediately ordered someone to come back to find this loyal guard, and he was very sad when he learned that Xiao Changfeng was seriously injured and fell into the river.
No, half a year later, Xiao Changfeng miraculously returned to the barracks, and General Murong was very happy and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
It is rumored that although Xiao Changfeng survived under Fanbang's chaotic knife, his face was also ruined, and since then he has only worn a silver mask to show people.
And it is precisely because of this hatred that he has become more and more fierce against the enemy on the battlefield, and he will win almost every battle.
Under such an act, it will definitely attract the taboo of Fanbang, and it is not impossible to send all kinds of people to assassinate Xiao Changfeng.
Thinking of this possibility, this Lord Liu regretted his remarks just now.
After all, the one in front of him is the one who is ruthless to the enemy and will repay him.
Feeling Lord Liu's fear, Xiao Changfeng said coldly, "The person who assassinated Ben Hou has to bother Lord Liu to be more careful!" ”
"Xiao Xiaohou rest assured, it must be, that is certain!" Lord Liu's attitude at this time is completely different from just now.
Beat Lord Liu in front of the ministers, Xiao Changfeng did not leave the palace immediately, but went to meet the Queen Mother.
According to Imperial Physician Shen's instructions, he did not go to see the Queen Mother as soon as he recovered, for fear of adding to the Queen Mother's blockage.
This has also been a long time since the burial of the Chen family's uncle, and he thought that the Queen Mother's emotions should be calm, and it was time to meet the Queen Mother.
"Sit down."
Murong Jing exempted Xiao Changfeng from the salute and gave him a seat.
Mama Sun saw that the two of them had something to say, so she waved her hand to the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, and all the people who were waiting left silently.
Grandma Sun stood at the door by herself, listening to the instructions in the door at any time.
Xiao Changfeng looked at the Queen Mother worriedly, "Queen Mother, I heard Imperial Doctor Shen say that you are suddenly ill because of the minister's affairs?" ”
Facing the Queen Mother, his voice was no longer as indifferent as speaking to the adults of the previous dynasty, and his voice was worried and nervous from the heart.
"It's not all because of you, the mourning family's body is not good, but it's okay now!" Murong Jing said with a smile.
This is thanks to Nian Yun, if it weren't for her medical help, she might not have seen Xiao Changfeng wake up now.
Xiao Changfeng looked at the Queen Mother carefully, she was thinner than before, but her spirit was indeed much better than before!
"Don't talk about the mourning family, since you're here, you're ready to come, aren't you?"
On the day Xiao Changfeng woke up, Imperial Doctor Shen came back to report.
Whether it is what Imperial Physician Shen said about "the Queen Mother is suddenly ill because of Xiao Xiaohou's matter", or "The Empress Dowager feels sorry for Princess Nianyun", in fact, Murong Jing deliberately asked Imperial Physician Shen to say it.
Xiao Changfeng was smart, and after listening to Imperial Doctor Shen's words, he knew that when he came to see him, he would probably have to face the problem of the past again.
In the past, Murong Jing felt that she was too merciful to both Xiao Changfeng and Su Nianyun, so much so that she allowed them to make the wrong choice.
This time, anyway, Chen Shaoan, who was in the way, died, and she had to twist the melon again.
Although she had asked Su Nianyun before, and Su Nianyun had clearly said that she would not leave the Chen family, Murong Jing was a person from the past.
After all, Su Nianyun is still young, and there are many things she can't understand when she has just lost her husband, but she has to think about her, Su Nianyun must not stay in the Chen family for the rest of her life!
Murong Jing felt that the main crux was Xiao Changfeng, as long as Xiao Changfeng nodded first and wished, there would be no problem for Su Nianyun to remarry.
Xiao Changfeng looked at the Queen Mother's expectant eyes.
He chose to come today, which means that he has already thought about it.
In the end, he slowly spoke, "Queen Mother, the minister wants to marry Princess Nianyun as his wife." ”
"Seriously?" Murong Jing was overjoyed.
She thought that she would have to put some effort into this guy, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to speak.
"The minister has thought about it, it was the minister's recklessness to refuse the marriage at the beginning, so I asked the queen mother to give the minister a chance to make amends, and begged the queen mother to marry Princess Nianyun to the minister."
"Okay, good," the Queen Mother smiled, "you guy has finally opened his mind." ”
"Nianyun is a good girl, but her life is too hard, you have to be more tolerant of her in the future......"
"Queen Mother, the minister guarantees that Princess Nianyun will not suffer the slightest grievance in the minister's mansion......"
Xiao Changfeng has always said the same.
With his assurance, the big stone in Murong Jing's heart could really land.
When Xiao Changfeng left, she immediately ordered Grandma Sun.
"Send someone to tell Nianyun the good news, so that she can be psychologically prepared earlier, and it happens to settle with the Chen Mansion as soon as possible, and as soon as her three-month filial piety period is over, the mourning family will hold a wedding for the two."
"Queen Mother, this ...... Will it be too fast? Mama Sun asked, "Chen Juma has only been dead for three months, so she arranged for the princess to remarry, and others will criticize it......"
"Criticism is criticism," Murong Jing said indifferently, "This wicked person mourns his family, and his mourning family can't watch Nianyun suffer!" ”
"Also," she instructed Grandma Sun, "this matter has not been finalized, so don't let outsiders know about it yet." ”
