After Fu Yunqiu finished speaking, the young man looked at the man beside him. As the leader of this group of people, he naturally obeyed his orders.
After a while, the man nodded and said to Fu Yunqiu in a deep voice: "If you can really help us obtain the talisman, I will definitely propose to our emperor and canonize a princess for you."
Everyone wanted to rest in the ruined temple, but the man immediately ordered not to stay.
"Xiao Langyan is not a stupid person. He will definitely send people to search. Let's go separately. As for this woman, put her in the things we brought." The man gave the order, and everyone immediately started to take care of it.
He walked out of the ruined temple and looked around to see if there was an ambush. At this time, a young man came from behind him.
"Brother, do you want to take the opportunity to interrogate me again, who is your engaged wife? The moon was shining brightly on the night of his birth. It is impossible for Fu Yunqiu not to know about this auspicious omen."
"No need," the man was silent for a moment, then suddenly rejected, "I joked about it when I was young, don't take it seriously, the important thing is that I can find the talisman this time, and my father will be happy because of it."
The young man nodded and walked back to the ruined temple.
The man stood in the moonlight, his solid shoulders covered with a faint moonlight, like frost.
He remembered that when he stayed at Shen's house many years ago, he had a startling glance at Shen Dingzhu. He expected that she was only eight or nine years old at that time, but she was already stunningly beautiful. Give him the cake.
If Shen Dingzhu could explain the whereabouts of the talisman himself, he would not embarrass her because of their close relationship.
…
Shen Dingzhu was driven back to the palace by Xiao Langyan the next day. On the way, he told him that there was a fire in the palace last night, but fortunately his daughter Chengcheng was fine.
Even so, Shen Dingzhu said "swish" and his face turned pale.
Xiao Langyan immediately held her hand and protected her in his arms: "I knew you would be afraid, so I didn't rush to tell you last night."
Shen Dingzhu's pink fingertips trembled slightly, worry rising in her beautiful eyes: "Chengcheng must be scared."
Xiao Langyan k The child must be simple-minded and not really frightened.”
After that, he put his big palm on Shen Dingzhu's bulging abdomen: "Don't be nervous, otherwise the child in your belly will not feel comfortable."
Under Xiao Langyan's comfort, Shen Dingzhu breathed slowly and finally calmed down.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she quickly held her daughter in her arms.
Xiao Xincheng blinked her big round eyes, holding the windmill made for her by Chen Heng in her left hand and a cloth tiger in her right hand. Her little face was white and tender, full of a childlike smile.
"Mom, did you enjoy going out to play with daddy?" The little guy was obviously not frightened, and he could still ask Shen Dingzhu.
It's normal to think about it. When the fire broke out yesterday, Xiao Xincheng was not in her palace. When she was brought back, the fire had been put out. She also moved to a different palace to sleep. It was not affected at all, except that some of her favorite rattles were burned. The guy felt very distressed.
With that said, Xiao Xincheng was held in Xiao Langyan's arms again. She flipped through her father's big palms and sleeves with her little hands. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find what she wanted. Her milky white face was a little frustrated.
"You don't bring me anything when you go out to play. In the past, every time my grandpa and uncles went out, they would bring me small gifts when they came back!"
Seeing that she was not frightened, Shen Dingzhu's heart finally dropped into her stomach, her red lips smiled, and her beautiful eyes softened.
"I came back in a hurry, so I didn't bring it with me. Can I supply Chengcheng next time?"
Xiao Langyan pinched his daughter's face with his big palm: "Whatever you want, my father will send someone to get it for you."
However, Xiao Xincheng ran into Shen Dingzhu's arms, pressed her body against her belly, and said strangely: "Mom, please pull my brother out early, Chengcheng wants to play with him!"
Shen Dingzhu was startled, her ears turned half red first, and she pretended to be angry and lectured: "Chengcheng! Mother is giving birth to children, not raising them."
Xiao Langyan laughed loudly over there first. When facing his wife and daughter, his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were filled with infinite warmth.
"Chengcheng, my father is looking forward to his birth just like you."
At this moment, Xu Shou's figure poked his head at the door. He saw the emperor, the concubine, and the princess family enjoying themselves. He didn't know whether he should enter and disturb them.
Xiao Langyan saw from the corner of his eye that the smile on his thin lips subsided a little. He stood up and said, "I still have some government affairs to deal with. I will come to have dinner with you and Chengcheng later."
With that said, Xiao Langyan bent down and placed a loving kiss on Shen Dingzhu's eyebrows.
Xiao Xincheng immediately raised her little face and pointed at her fair and smooth face: "Dad, Chengcheng wants it too!"
"Okay." Xiao Langyan picked up his daughter and kissed her little face.
Shen Dingzhu looked at this scene with a smile. It would be impossible to say that there was no warmth in his heart.
After Xiao Langyan left Yaoguang Palace, his handsome facial features immediately lost a bit of smile and became a bit more sharp and cold.
"How's the check going?"
Xu Shou reported hurriedly: "Your Majesty's guess was indeed good. The imperial army searched inside and outside the pavilion where Fu Yunqiu lived, and finally found it in the box under the bed."
Xiao Langyan narrowed his cold eyes: "When I just arrested her, I asked you to search carefully but couldn't find her. This time it's as simple as hiding her under the bed?"
Xu Shou lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that she was worried that the emperor would kill her, so she simply prepared it early?"
After all, Xiao Langyan had disabled one of Fu Yunqiu's legs before, so it was not surprising that the emperor lost patience and took her life.
Xiao Langyan returned to the imperial study, and the commander of the imperial army immediately presented the box containing half of the tiger talisman.
He took a look and compared it correctly with the half tiger talisman in his hand, and then ordered coldly: "Since the death of the late emperor, this half of the tiger talisman has disappeared without a trace. Now it is found in the hands of Fu's daughter. Does it prove that? The Fu family teamed up with the Ninth Prince and others who were traitors back then to steal the Tiger Talisman, collaborate with the enemy and treason, and spread the word to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, so that the Shen family could be cleared of the original case."
The commander of the imperial army accepted the order. Although the emperor did not immediately condemn the Fu family, his words already revealed the outcome he hoped for.
Xiao Langyan successively sent messages to Lord Meng, Yushitai Ling, Minister of Punishment and others. By the time he finished his work, it was already three poles above the moon.
He pinched his brows tiredly, breathed a long sigh of relief, then immediately stood up and hurried back to Yaoguang Palace.
Because he remembered that he had to accompany Shen Dingzhu and Chengcheng to have dinner, but he had been busy until now, and it was already late. After returning to Yaoguang Palace, Shen Bi reminded in a low voice: "The empress and the princess are asleep."
Xiao Langyan entered and saw his woman and child lying on the couch, sleeping soundly.
Xiao Xincheng's little hand rested on her mother's pregnant belly, while Shen Dingzhu's hand hugged the little guy's shoulder. The quilts on both of them were kicked to the ground.
Xiao Langyan bent down to pick it up and gently covered the two of her with a quilt. He wanted to leave immediately, but when he saw his wife and daughter's sleeping faces, he couldn't help but kiss Shen Dingzhu's hair and touch his daughter by the way. s face.
But he couldn't help himself and kissed Shen Dingzhu twice more.
Just like that, the sleeping beauty opened her misty eyes in a daze.
"Your Majesty?" Her voice was humming and soft, "You are back. What time is it?"
Xiao Langyan stood beside the couch, with a hint of endearment on his dark brows: "It's almost time, I accidentally woke you up, please continue to sleep."
However, Shen Dingzhu sat up with support on her lower back. She shook her head and said, "I left some food for the emperor. The emperor is so busy at this late hour, so he must not have eaten yet."
"I'm not hungry. It's okay to go back and eat. You have a good sleep."
However, Shen Dingzhu had a delicate temperament and would not listen to other people's opinions when she made a decision. Seeing her carefully stepping over her daughter while holding her pregnant belly with one hand, Xiao Langyan was afraid that she would fall.
Then he stepped forward, spread his arms, and took Shen Dingzhu out of the bed.
Her slender and pink palms hugged his neck. Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows, a faint smile filling his thin eyes.
"You said it yourself that you wanted to accompany me. It's just right. I have good news to tell you."
Shen Dingzhu's watery eyes were full of water, and her pink and shiny cheeks were filled with two rosy clouds: "I, my concubine... also have something to say to the emperor."
