The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 330 Xiao Junyan's Plan

Only after the Shen family was dealt with, all clues were interrupted, and Emperor Jing was unwilling to suspect his son, so the matter was shelved.

But now as soon as Xiao Junyan's words came out, Emperor Jing couldn't help but think of the things pressing in his heart.

What's more, this Xiao Junyi's rebellion was too hasty.

Now that the frontier is still at war, he doesn't care about it, so there is only one saying that he is happy to see the result of this war. Or maybe, what kind of secret agreement he reached with the Yue country!

The more Jingdi thought about it, the more angry he became. At the end, he looked at Xiao Junyan again and became a little cold. "Then you are so hardworking, what do you want from me?"

Even if Xiao Junyan kowtowed his head, "Going back to the emperor, the Caomin asks nothing, I only ask for peace and prosperity!" He raised his head again, and he stopped saying something, "If you talk about selfishness, the Caomin really does. So a little selfish, and ask the emperor to fulfill it."

If the previous words were still a bit grand-sounding, then his later words made Emperor Jing a little relieved. After all, no one can ask for nothing. He is not afraid that the other lion will open his mouth, but he is afraid that the other side's plot is too deep, and he has calculated it all into it!

As he read, Emperor Jing's face eased a little, and said, "Let's talk and listen."

Hearing this, Xiao Junyan pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, but he sneered without a trace in his heart, "Going back to the emperor, now war is going on in the frontier, and the Caomin does not ask for anything else, only that the emperor can let the Caomin lead the war. It will share the worries for the emperor, and the two will live up to the life-long learning of the Caomin."

As soon as he said this, Emperor Jing's eyes fell on him. This is a high-sounding remark, but under careful consideration, I want to determine the military power of the Southern Prince's Mansion!

Since King Dingnan entered Beijing, not only the princess and the elder son have been accompanied here, because the people are in the capital and the troops are on the frontier, so Emperor Jing has no worries.

But now Xiao Junyan's words can't help but ask him to think deeply. Could it be that this is what King Dingnan meant, he wanted to take the military power into his own hands in a disguised form.

But if this is the case, the timing of Xiao Junyan’s appearance would be too coincidental, would it be—

The more he thought about it, the more he frowned.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Junyan solemnly squatted his head and said, "The emperor, although the Cao Min is just a piece of cloth, it does not hinder the Cao Min's loyalty and patriotism!"

This is a bit straightforward. Emperor Jing also suddenly remembered one thing. The eldest son of Dingnan Prince's Mansion was not sure about the love of the Southern King. So far, it is just a piece of common clothes.

Looking at these people with titles, which family's eldest son is not so beautiful, but the eldest son of Dingnan Palace is not to please his father. King Dingnan not only gave the place of the eldest son to the second son, but he didn't even have the heart to plan for the eldest son. He was really biased and cruel.

However, this was a good thing for Emperor Jing.

"Okay, since you have this mindset, then I will fulfill you too. Someone--"

Emperor Jing called his servant to the outside, and said with a serious face, "Telling my will, Xiao Junyan, the eldest son of King Dingnan, has done a good job in arresting the anti-thief, and he is specially named the third-class Wei Yuanbo."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Xiao Junyan to thank you, and added, "Now that the frontier war is going on, your brother will soon be married again, so you can assist King Dingbei to serve the country together."

After hearing these words, the joy on Xiao Junyan's face was immediately covered up, and he kowtowed his head to thank the Lord and said, "The minister thanks the Lord Longen!"

It wasn't until after going out, when no one was there, that the joy on Xiao Junyan's face was put away, and it was replaced with an eye-filled calculation.

He had never intended to help Xiao Junyi sincerely, he just wanted to take this opportunity to take back the military power of Dingnan Palace. What's more, if the water in the capital is not turbid enough, how can it have its own time?

Emperor Jing's defense against Dingnan Palace and his disappointment with Xiao Junyi happened to be a good time for him to take office. Now that he grasped the climbing rope, he would not loosen it easily. As for the Dingnan Prince's family living in the capital, let's live it well!

Xiao Junyan thought clearly in his heart that he would not delay anymore, and went straight out of the palace to Dingnan Palace.

However, it was said that Xiao Junyan hadn't left for a long time, so Lord Lin went to the imperial study to report, "The emperor, the king is here."

If it hadn't been for the king to deal with this before, Emperor Jing would not have entered the city so quickly. It was only after King Jing was injured that he went to bandage. I just missed the conversation between Xiao Junyan and Emperor Jing.

"Let him in."

When Emperor Jing fell off, he saw Xiao Junxi walking in. He had injured his arm earlier, but it was not too serious, but he had lost some blood, and his face appeared a little pale.

"The sons and ministers greet the father and the emperor."

Emperor Jing came over immediately, helped him up with his own hands, and said, "You don't need to be polite, what did the doctor say?"

Xiao Junxi said lightly, "It's just a minor injury, it's okay, Father doesn't have to worry." Seeing the sad look in Emperor Jing's eyebrows, Xiao Junxi asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

Emperor Jing didn't hide from him, he said all Xiao Junyan's words, and finally said, "I really underestimated the fifth child, this rebellious son!"

Seeing that the iron hatred in his eyebrows was not made into steel, Xiao Junxi was cleverly silent. At this time, if he said something, he would not wink.

After a long time, Emperor Jing sighed and said, "I was so anxious that I didn't even ask him a word, and I don't know what the rebellious son had to argue with."

When he was young, he had committed suicide long ago. But now that he is older, after all he has raised his son for so many years, even if Emperor Jing is angry, he still has a trace of intolerance.

Xiao Junxi didn't speak wisely. Fortunately, Emperor Jing didn't expect him to reply. He just whispered for a while before he waved his hand and said, "Your mother and the queen should also be here, you go and welcome them."

Hearing this, Xiao Junxi bowed and then walked out.

Although the messenger had already gone, it was already almost noon when the crowd was actually received in the capital. At these times, everyone was holding a heart, and it was only at this moment that they were relieved, and they went back to their homes.

Xie Ruzhuo accompanied Concubine Ye Gui and the others. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Xiao Junxi who came to greet him. There was a smile involuntarily at the corner of her mouth, but she still held concubine Ye Gui respectfully.

Xiao Junxi came to salute, and was emptied by Concubine Ye Gui, and smiled, "This is a hard journey, and things are messy just after coming back, this palace won't keep you, let's go back."

Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi thanked him and said a few more polite words, and then he got into the carriage of the palace with Xiao Junxi.

As soon as he got into the car, Xie Ruzhuo put away the smile on his face, pulled Xiao Junxi's arm over, rolled up his sleeves, and saw the gauze wrapped around it.

Seeing that there was no thought on the face of her sweet wife, Xiao Junxi quickly comforted, "It's just a small injury, don't worry about Zhuo'er."

Xie Ruzhuo only sighed and didn't ask how he was hurt. He only grasped his uninjured hand, feeling very sad.

Seeing this, where did Xiao Junxi still don't understand? He took her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid of Zhu'er. Since I promised you a good birth, I won't break my promise. Look, am I okay?"

It was okay if he didn't say this. When he said that, the tears in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes instantly couldn't help it, and they dripped down, biting his lips tightly without speaking.

Xiao Junxi hurriedly wiped her tears, and said indiscriminately, "Good thinking, don't cry, don't cry, you are crying for your husband's heart."

Seeing his clumsy appearance, Xie Ruzhuo felt uncomfortable, but couldn't help but want to laugh. He finally pulled the veil back from his hand and said, "Fine, I'll do it myself."

With that, the tears were stopped after all.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Junxi relaxed slightly, changed the subject, and talked about what had happened in the past few days.

Xie Ruzhuo was a little careless before, but at the end of the hearing, he couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion, "How could Xiao Junyan be so coincidental?"

Xiao Junxi shook her hand instead, and said warmly, "Just come back from such a situation, you don't have to think too much, in short, I am here for everything."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo knew that Xiao Junxi was unwilling to confide, and nodded and smiled immediately, "If you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

After returning to the King’s Palace, Xie Ruzhuo took a bath and fell asleep with the help of Qianbi.

She slept very well this time, and when she woke up she realized that the moon had risen high.

The eight-treasure colored glaze palace lantern in the house shook slightly under the blow of the night breeze, and reflected the light in the house softly and peacefully.

Xie Ruzhuo got up and rubbed his forehead before asking, "What time is it?"

Jiang Zhu walked in from the outside in a hurry, smiled and replied, "Princess, it's going to be fast."

Xie Ruzhuo was a little surprised, she actually slept for so long. Before she could speak, Jiang Zhu walked over to help her up and smiled, "The prince has entered the palace again. Before leaving, tell the servants not to wake you, so that you can rest well."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded, and saw that Qianbi had already brought the food, which was obviously warmed on the stove long ago to prepare her to get up and eat.

She slept for a long time, she was indeed a little hungry, and then she cleaned her hands and sat in front of the chair to eat.

For three consecutive days, Xiao Junxi came back late at night. When he came back, he had already fallen asleep. When he got up in the morning of the next day, Xie Ruzhuo felt that the mattress beside him was cold. It was obvious that someone had been away for a long time.

Qian Bi always knows everything, so she and Xiao Junxi haven't seen each other much, but she knows the progress of the matter intermittently.

"Now it has spread all over the capital, saying that the five princes colluded with foreign enemies to rebel. Now they have been imprisoned by the emperor in a jail, saying that he is going to ask him directly!"

After hearing Qianbi's words, Xie Ruzhuo was not surprised at all. It was strange that Emperor Jing could accommodate the fifth prince if such a thing happened.

"Our emperor is also calm, and he didn't kill him on the spot." Xie Ruzhuo said, smiling again. Xiao Junyi is now gone, but it is his own son after all. If Xiao Junhan couldn't hold back his temper and fanned the flames in front of Emperor Jing, he might have made Emperor Jing furious.

Thinking, Xie Ruzhuo turned his eyebrows and got an idea, "Hongrui, come here."

After Xie Ruzhuo whispered in Hong Rui's ear for a while, Hong Rui took his orders and left.

Just as Hongrui had just walked away, she saw Jiangzhu walking in from the outside, and said with a slight expression, "Wang Hao, the third wife of the Xie family is here."
