Chapter 395: Husband and wife
Xu Jing stared at the prince of Xihe with an expressionless face, and said word by word: "The bones of the emperor and the crown prince are not cold, and the coffins have not yet been buried. Cousin wants to make a big fuss in the mourning hall?"
The prince of Xihe was weak.
Speaking of which, this matter is indeed his fault. The crown prince is dead, and Queen Su is still upright. Empress Su was biased towards Xu Jing and handed over the funeral to Xu Jing in front of the ministers. Xu Jing is rightfully in charge.
No matter how unwilling he is, he has to back down.
The prince of Xihe pursed his thin lips and softened his tone: "I don't mean to make trouble in the mourning hall."
Xu Jing looked coldly at the prince of Xihe: "Since you don't have this heart, then kneel down with peace of mind. When the crown prince is buried in the imperial mausoleum, it will not be too late for you to jump."
That's a very hard thing to say.
The prince of Xihe was forced to lower his head by Xu Jing's angry and cold gaze, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart. What is the spirit? Not really sitting on the throne yet. The first step is not too far, and the real winner is the one who laughs last.
The prince of Xihe closed his mouth, and the tense atmosphere in the mourning hall dissipated for the most part.
Zhao Xiyan frowned slightly.
Xu Jing turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xiyan soothingly.
Zhao Xiyan felt a lot more at ease.
These days, she has been relying on extraordinary perseverance. Now that Xu Jing is back, fatigue and sleepiness suddenly come in.
Zhao Xiyan quietly moved to Xu Jing's side, and fell asleep in the full cry.
Xu Jing glanced at it with pity, moved to Zhao Xiyan's side, and let her lean on her shoulder.
At noon, the inner attendant sent the steamed buns and cold water into the mourning hall. The courtiers, who had been crying for a long time, were finally able to take a break at lunchtime.
Zhao Xiyan was so sleepy that he never woke up.
Xu Jing was reluctant to wake her up, and it was inconvenient to carry her out of the mourning hall, so he kept maintaining this posture to make Zhao Xiyan more comfortable.
Queen Su looked at it, and her eyes flashed with sorrow.
When Emperor Yongming was alive, she was full of disgust. People die of all evils, and Emperor Yongming died so miserably, all the disgust in her heart disappeared. At this moment, I remembered some of the benefits of Emperor Yongming.
Emperor Yongming is lustful and mediocre, but he has always been good to her, the queen. No matter how much he dotes on the beauty, he has never shaken her phoenix position. He gave her the entire harem with peace of mind. But when she opened her mouth to plead, he almost never refused......
Queen Su didn't want to think about it anymore and turned her head back.
After another hour, Zhao Xiyan finally woke up.
She quietly knelt straight.
It was a shame that she and Xu Jing both knelt in front. No courtier saw her asleep in the mourning hall.
Xu Jing reached over and quietly held her hand. Zhao Xiyan's heart was hot, and his slender fingers hooked his fingers tightly.
After dark, the young couple went to the wing room to rest. Entering the door, Xu Jing didn't have time to say anything, and hugged Zhao Xiyan's soft body tightly.
Zhao Xiyan's nose was sour, and he reached out to hug Xu Jing's neck.
The hosta and the begonia invariably reached out to close the door and stood guard outside the door together.
Inside the house, the husband and wife were close together. At this moment, the heart is stuffed.
"Sister Crescent Moon," Xu Jing's voice was hoarse, "These days, I've suffered you."
"I'm not bitter." Zhao Xiyan stretched out his hand and groped Xu Jing's face, and his voice choked: "I'm just scared. Murong Yao Murong Shen colluded with Xu Yi to force the palace to rebel, I have a long sword in my hand, if they rush into the East Palace, I would rather kill myself than bow my head and follow the traitor."
"Brother Chunsheng, I was really scared at that time. I'm afraid of leaving you behind, leaving a pair of children, and the two of us finally got married. I want to live such a good life for many years."
Zhao Xiyan's body kept trembling, and tears slipped down her cheeks.
Xu Jing's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and slowly wiped away his tears for Zhao Xiyan: "Don't be afraid, Murong Yao was killed, and Xu Yi was also caught. I'm back. I will never leave you again. We will stay together and never be separated."
The two hugged each other and cried for a long time.
When the mood calms down a little, it already is
Half an hour later.
Zhao Xiyan wiped her tears with her sleeve and whispered the story of the prince's death.
Xu Jing listened silently, and scolded angrily with red eyes: "Murong Yan, this cheap~ person!"
"The queen didn't kill her, and kept her in the East Palace prison." Zhao Xiyan said in a low voice: "I think that Niangniang is looking forward to Murong Yan having the prince's blood in her belly."
Xu Jing was silent again, and only after a moment did he say, "If she is really pregnant, let her live until the child is born."
Zhao Xiyan snorted and looked up at Xu Jing: "Murong Shen has escaped."
Xu Jing's eyebrows jumped, and a terrifying murderous aura flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, he can't escape from the capital." Feng Yuan is a person who does things in a very orderly manner, and has already ordered the city gate to be closed. He also sent people to post announcements around the capital, and the soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion kept searching for Murong Shen's whereabouts."
"The Murong family, everyone was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. Without the Murong family, Murong Shen is just a lost dog. It's only a matter of time before you get caught."
With Murong Shen's temper, he will not be willing to fail and disappear, and there will always be a day when he will show up. Just like Zhou Sui.
Zhao Xiyan suddenly sighed softly: "Ji Yunshu gave birth to a son in prison. I have compassion and pity for her in my heart."
Not to mention Ji Yunshu, even the entire Ji family is among the nine clans that have been exterminated.
Xu Jing hugged Zhao Xiyan and said in a low voice, "I know you have a soft heart, but you can't be soft-hearted in this matter. When cutting the grass, we must remove it from the roots."
After a pause, the general spoke out about the assassination in the army: "...... These dead soldiers were all instructed by Murong Shen. I should have been prepared for it, otherwise I will suffer a great loss."
Zhao Xiyan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was terrified, and grabbed Xu Jing's hand tightly.
Xu Jing lowered his head, kissed her cheek soothingly, and whispered in her ear, "Murong Ke actually did nothing wrong. He even chased him into battle to stop the Assassins. It's a pity that he is Murong Yao's son and Murong Shen's younger brother."
"His fate was sealed."
Murong Ke was also imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and was with the Murong clan, waiting to be executed and beheaded.
Zhao Xiyan sighed silently and leaned his head into Xu Jing's arms.
The two snuggled up quietly and warmed each other.
After a long time, Xu Jing broke the silence: "Sister Crescent Moon, where are our little fruits and flowers?"
Speaking of a pair of children, Zhao Xiyan was also full of concern: "They are in the house and are taken care of by the nurses. Now that the situation has not settled, let's let their brothers and sisters stay in the palace!"
No matter how much Xu Jing wanted to see his children, he had to hold it back and nodded: "No one in the palace is in charge, I have to stay in the palace all the time." When the funeral is over, I will go back to the palace to see them."
Since the child was born, his father has never seen him! Now that it's so close, you have to resist the urge to leave the palace and go back to the palace.
