"Wait!"
Xiao Chongjing stepped forward quickly and hugged Yin Xiaorou into his arms.
He looked helplessly into Yin Xiaorou's watery eyes and sighed softly, "Are you really willing to leave? You...you aren't looking for your father anymore?"
"No more looking for it."
Yin Xiaorou shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Under the moonlight, she looked like a white pear blossom wet by rain, delicate and clean, arousing pity.
She said pitifully: "Anyway, now that I'm like this, everyone despises me, even you... dad must despise me too..."
"Who said I dislike you?"
Xiao Chongjing scratched her nose through the veil and said sympathetically: "I'm just too busy recently. Where did you want to go?"
"Really?" Yin Xiaorou looked up at Xiao Chongjing in surprise.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and the veil fell off. At the end of her eye, where the scar should have been, a red plum blossom shone brightly, making people's hearts move unconsciously.
Xiao Chongjing immediately became obsessed.
He stared straight at Yin Xiaorou's pretty face for a while, and just as the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer... suddenly, Xiao Qinyu's figure appeared in his mind.
As if a basin of cold water was poured from his head to his heels, Xiao Chongjing quickly let go of Yin Xiaorou.
In Yin Xiaorou's puzzled eyes, he coughed twice awkwardly and then said: "It's getting so late, you, you go back first. I still have business to do."
After saying that, without waiting for Yin Xiaorou's reaction, she hurried into the study.
He meditated in his study all night and felt that he could not go on like this. So the next day, he took Yin Wenyu's calligraphy directly to the palace.
"Why do you want to see me today?"
In the imperial study room, Jun Yiguang was correcting the memorial while asking Xiao Chongjing about his purpose.
"minister……"
Xiao Chongjing knelt in the middle of the imperial study room. The impulse that had been brewing in his heart all night quickly faded away. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
After sweating and thinking for a long time, I finally managed to say, "I saw that Your Majesty doesn't look too good today, so I came here to say hello."
"My dear, you are interested." Jun Yiguang raised his hand to signal Xiao Chongjing to stand down, and then smiled and comforted him: "I just feel the cold occasionally. It's nothing serious. My dear, don't worry too much."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's fine."
Xiao Chongjing quickly said respectfully.
He stood in the middle of the royal study with a thorn in his back, and after a few words of concern, he finally knelt down and said goodbye naturally.
Just as he was backing away and about to exit the imperial study, a sudden flash of inspiration occurred, and he accidentally let Yin Wenyu's calligraphy slip out of his sleeve.
Then he quickly turned around and left as if he didn't see it.
"General Xiao?" Eunuch Fu picked up the calligraphy from the ground and quickly wanted to call out to Xiao Chongjing.
"Stop shouting." At this time, Jun Yiguang put down the ink pen and ordered lightly, "Bring it over."
"yes."
Eunuch Fu quickly and respectfully spread out the calligraphy and presented it to Jun Yiguang.
Jun Yiguang lowered his eyes and felt something in his heart. What was written on the paper turned out to be just a young and simple poem. There were no fancy words and the content was not elegant, but it reminded him of his ordinary days in the northwest.
Although it was very hard at the time, looking back now, it feels different...
He stretched out his hand and touched the green brushstrokes on the paper with his fingers, and suddenly he felt a strong curiosity. What do those two children look like now?
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Huiguo wishes to see you."
Just when Jun Yiguang was immersed in fantasy, Eunuch Fu reminded him.
"Um."
Jun Yiguang came to his senses, and after Eunuch Fu put away the calligraphy, he nodded and let Mrs. Huiguo come in.
"I'm here to see your Majesty."
As soon as Mrs. Huiguo came in, she saluted with a smile on her face.
"Old madam, please get up quickly." As soon as Jun Yiguang spoke with a smile, Eunuch Fu immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Huiguo up. By the way, a chair was arranged for her to sit down according to the old rules.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mrs. Huiguo smiled and thanked her before sitting down.
As soon as she sat down, she became concerned about Jun Yiguang's health, "I heard from the Queen that Your Majesty has not been sleeping well these days. What did the imperial doctor say?"
"It's just the occasional cold." Jun Yi smiled. "Old Madam, I heard that I have been seriously ill recently, but what happened?"
"I..." Mrs. Huiguo felt aggrieved when she mentioned this matter. Her eyes turned red, and she immediately knelt down from the chair, leaning over and saying, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
"Old Madam, please get up quickly."
Jun Yiguang saw his wet nurse kneeling down again and quickly waved her hand to Eunuch Fu.
"Yes, old lady, you get up first and then talk." Eunuch Fu quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Huiguo and sat down, his tone was one part comforting and one part reproaching, "Old madam, what do you think you are doing? What are you talking about? Please tell me carefully, His Majesty is here, can I not make the decision for you if I have any grievance?"
"That's what Eunuch Fu said."
With the emperor's guarantee, Mrs. Huiguo would accept it as soon as she could.
While wiping her tears, she began to tell her grievances, "A few days ago, during the Autumn Banquet, I took Brother Sheng with me happily. I wanted to let him see the world, but I didn't expect...he was... He was pushed into the water and almost died!”
"What?"
Jun Yiguang's expression changed, "Who is so vicious when he openly pushed a child into the water at the autumn feast?"
"Your Majesty, this is not the most poisonous thing!" Mrs. Huiguo wiped her tears again and said angrily: "I saw it with my own eyes! After that girl pushed Brother Sheng into the water, she pretended to be a good person and went to save Brother Sheng! Fortunately, she was there at that time Many people have seen it, otherwise wouldn’t I think of my enemy as my benefactor?”
"She pushed Brother Sheng first and then went to save Brother Sheng?" Eunuch Fu had lived in the palace for a lifetime, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong. He reminded carefully, "Isn't that person planning something else?"
"Who knows this?" Mrs. Huiguo shook her head and looked puzzled, "I'm just a bad old woman with no power. She just likes to enjoy flowers and drink tea all day long. What can they want from me? "
"Old madam, you can't belittle yourself."
Eunuch Fu smiled and looked at his master.
Jun Yiguang also smiled and shook his head, but his mind was very clear. He understood that the man might be coming for him.
So he asked, "Have you tried that person? What did she say?"
"Don't mention it." When the interrogation was mentioned, Mrs. Huiguo felt even more aggrieved, and her grievances contained indescribable grievances. "As soon as I started the interrogation, General Xiao came to the door. Isn't that the girl? His savior just took her away!”
"Xiao Chongjing?" Jun Yiguang's eyes darkened, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He quickly looked at his wet nurse and asked, "That girl, what's her name?"
"Call...Yin Xiaorou!"
