Chapter 179: A Strange Taste
The counterattack system noticed the change in Mu Jingqian's mood, and knew that it couldn't persuade him, but reminded Mu Jingqian out of obligation:
"All the system can do is try its best to help the host on the right path, but in any case, the host's destiny is determined by the host's own choice, as long as the host will not regret it, then every road will be a good road. However, the host needs to be careful, there will be rumors in the palace that the host intends to rebel in the next few days, and the host needs to be more vigilant, be careful. β
This was indeed expected by Mu Jingqian.
From the time he witnessed the little guard's dominance that did not take him in the slightest, Mu Jingqian expected that there would be a day when someone would use the price of betraying him as a bargaining chip in exchange for a more beautiful errand.
"It's okay, I've got a sense of proportion in my heart."
Compared with the counterattack system's careful analysis of crises, situations, and risks for Mu Jingqian, the Mandate of Heaven system is like a walking gossip machine: "Tut-tut, cub, do you think this Mu Shizi is beautiful, strong and miserable?" It's beautiful, strong and miserable, it's just perfect, but it's a pity that it's also a big villain. β
Xiao Suisui doesn't care about what "beauty, strength and misery", Mu Jingqian in her eyes is just a little pitiful grievance who is bullied and not strong at all, and needs her to work hard to protect.
Nan Hong whispered to the attendant who came to deliver the message for a moment, and relayed the news to the two of them: "Princess, Your Majesty urges you to go back to the palace to rest." β
"I know, I'm going to see the little monkey now, and I'll go back to Daddy in a while."
Xiao Suisui also knew that it was not early, but he still couldn't let go of the grumpy little monkey, so he decided to take a look at it before leaving.
The little monkey saw that Xiao Suisui was a lot more stable, and after a while, he fell asleep with something in his arms.
β¦β¦
After dark.
Xiao Suisui walked on the way back to the palace, crossed his fingers to calculate how late he was, and calculated whether Xiao Qingfeng would be unhappy with the late time he went back.
Halfway through, Xiao Suisui suddenly saw two strange shadows, and hid behind a tree in fear.
The moonlight sprinkled down, which just helped Xiao Suisui see the faces of the two clearly.
Gonggong Su persuaded worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's not early, the princess will definitely return to the palace in a while, let the old slave accompany you back to the palace and wait." β
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Qingfeng carried a lamp alone and felt the miserable state of mind of the lonely old man in advance.
He was sympathetic to Mu Jingqian's homesickness during the day, he just didn't want Mu Jingqian to abduct his baby daughter at all!
Gonggong Su sighed, and couldn't persuade Xiao Qingfeng at all. The son of heaven he served has always been the same, and the persuasion of others is just some embellishments in his life.
But Xiao Suisui came out of thin air out of nowhere, and tilted his head curiously to look at the two of them: "Daddy, what are you doing here?" Won't you get bored? β
Xiao Qingfeng, who was still worried, suddenly straightened his face, and said reasonably: "I want to go to the imperial study to review the folds, and I just happened to pass through here, since you are already going back to the palace to rest, I will wait until tomorrow to deal with those twists." β
Xiao Suisui felt even more strange, but still comforted Xiao Qingfeng: "It's okay, Sui Sui won't rest immediately, if Daddy is really busy, let's go and get busy first, just go back and wait for Daddy to come back!" β
Xiao Qingfeng picked her up and snorted arrogantly: "I'm not interested, don't go!" β
Xiao Suisui sighed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Daddy is really getting stranger and stranger.
Outside the Qilong Palace, there were two living faces.
The two palace maids turned pale when they saw Xiao Qingfeng, and they glanced at each other in a subtle mood.
Gonggong Su said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, the old slave remembers that the two people outside the door seem to be the maids in the palace of the noble concubine, and it is said that they should not be guarding outside the Qilong Palace." β
Xiao Qingfeng suspiciously ordered: "You go in and have a look." β
"Yes."
Gonggong Su obeyed the order, walked into the Qilong Hall first, and after not long after he walked in, he withdrew from the hall with a strange face: "Your Majesty, there seems to be some strange smell of smoke in the hall, after the old slave smelled it...... Some headaches and discomforts, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. The old slave suggested that His Majesty ask the imperial doctor to come and have a good examination to confirm whether it is harmful to people. β
It sounds reasonable, after all, Xiao Suisui is by his side, Xiao Qingfeng didn't dare to despise the smell of spices that appeared out of thin air, and immediately ordered: "Su Meng, go and call me all the people from the Tai Hospital, and see what the hell is in this hall." β
Gonggong Su hurriedly ran to find someone, and the two palace people who witnessed this scene began to whisper worriedly: "Or, why don't you go and invite Niangniang out?" If things get bigger, Your Majesty will have to cut us down......"
The other man's head shook like a rattle: "If you want to go, you will go, I don't dare to go!" Your Majesty is standing in the outer hall with the princess in his arms, do you dare to go? At that time, if you are bumped into by His Royal Highness, Niangniang may not be fine, and those of us who are slaves and maids must be the first to die, so I won't go! β
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Suisui's voice suddenly appeared behind them.
The hairs on the two palace people stood up when they heard this, and they turned around tremblingly, and they really saw that cold and handsome face, and the decisive temperament of killing had been engraved between his eyebrows with the years, even if this was a handsome appearance that people couldn't take their eyes off, the two of them still didn't dare to look more, and they didn't even dare to look directly with their eyes, and knelt in front of Xiao Qingfeng with a pop.
Xiao Qingfeng asked sternly, "What's going on?" β
The two palace people recalled that before leaving the palace, Concubine An had warned them with thousands of instructions that no matter who asked, they could not tell today's arrangement, so as not to ruin Xiao Qingfeng's interest.
But now, the person who asked was Xiao Qingfeng!
After all, the servant who knelt on Xiao Suisui's left hand was the first to bear the double pressure of psychology and spirit, and explained to Xiao Qingfeng with a pale face:
"Mother, mother, mother...... She learned that His Majesty has been troubled a lot recently, and there is nowhere to vent her anger, so she prepared a graceful dance skirt and incense that can calm her nerves, wanting to relieve the pressure of your Majesty recently, and listen to Your Majesty talk about your worries, lest Your Majesty has been suppressing the troubles and will be sad about your body. β
In fact, this maid has already said tactfully enough, Concubine An's plan is only several times bolder than what she said.
Imperial Doctor Jiang had been urgently summoned by Gonggong Su, put down the medicine box and sniffed it lightly, and he already had the answer.
Just as he was about to speak, Imperial Physician Jiang saw Xiao Suisui with a curious face, and couldn't wait to appear on the front line of eating melons, thinking about it, he still whispered in Xiao Qingfeng's ear: "Your Majesty, this cigarette is the incense prepared by the Palace of Medicine and Medicine Bureau for you on the fortunate event, although you have never used it, but this taste, Lao Chen remembers it very clearly." β
