After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

In the palace, Emperor Yonghui paced anxiously in the imperial study. Jiang Yinghe came in with tea and said, "Oh my Lord, you have been walking for the whole morning. Please sit down and rest."

Emperor Yonghui was holding a secret report in his hand at this time, which came from southern Xinjiang...

Emperor Yonghui had been reading for a long time. The pages of the newspaper were wrinkled and the words were even a little blurred by sweat.

One can imagine how anxious Emperor Yonghui was this morning!

He said to himself, "How is this matter related to the late emperor? Huai Zhang must not know about this..."

After a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and ordered Jiang Yinghe: "Let the Qinglian Guards carefully investigate the woman from Southern Xinjiang who was captured from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. The Regent does not need to know about this matter."

"Yes."

Jiang Yinghe responded and went down to pass on the order. At this time, the dazzling sunlight shone in through the window. Emperor Yonghui said to himself: "Brother, you are confused..."

He was also thankful in his heart that Lin Xun had been in poor health during this period, so the case in the Marquis' Mansion was not handed over to Lin Xun for trial.

Otherwise, if Lin Xun discovered something based on his cleverness, things would really become irreversible!

……

"The emperor in the palace should be thankful that I took leave during this period and did not interfere in the affairs of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Xun knew his royal brother too well. It can be said that when Marquis Yong'an was taken away by Wang Xian and Ye Nan was taken away by the Qinglian Guards, everything was under his control!

Next, it’s time for those people to meet…

Xiao Shiqi was driving the carriage slowly. Xiao Xuetang did have an appointment with someone, but she was not in a hurry to meet him. She was supporting her chin with her hand, looking at the street scene outside the carriage. She didn't even react when Lin Xun spoke to her.

Over the past five years, the shadows and scars of the chaotic war have faded, and the people have been able to recuperate and live and work in peace.

The main street was crowded with cars and horses, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares could be heard along the street. Children were playing in the street with candied haws in their hands, and they ran to the candy shops and drooled over the candies.

In this peaceful year, the imperial court reduced taxes. Although there was a plague and war in Jingzhou at the beginning of the year, they were quelled by the regent's swift and decisive measures, and the entire Kyoto quickly recovered.

There are vendors hawking their wares in every street and alley. At the end of July, the sun is still very hot in late summer and early autumn, and the most popular thing is the dessert shop on the corner.

There were many kinds of desserts in the dessert shop, including sour plum soup which cost three cents a bowl, with crushed ice at the bottom of the bowl to cool off and quench thirst; in addition, there were also the fashionable ice bowls.

The so-called ice bowl is made by mixing sliced ​​lotus root, cored fresh lotus seeds, fresh water chestnuts and water caltrops together, adding crushed ice and wrapping it in lotus leaves when it meets a buyer.

Under the vendor's shouting, some children couldn't bear the craving and turned to the alley to find their mothers to act cute. Although they were inevitably scolded by their mothers, they were in a peaceful and prosperous time and had no shortage of money to satisfy their children's cravings.

The child who succeeded in acting cute was extremely happy holding the ice bowl, while the child who didn’t get any sugar water looked on eagerly, fortunately he had candied haws in his hands to satisfy his craving.

Seeing Xiao Xuetang staring outside the carriage, as if she didn't hear him for a moment, Lin Xun followed Xiao Xuetang's line of sight and the next moment told Xiao Shiqi, "Stop the car."

Xiao Shiqi understood without waiting for Lin Xun's instructions, got out of the car and bought one drink each from the dessert shop.

When waiting to get on the carriage, Xiao Shiqi held the ice drink in both hands and handed the fresh ice bowl wrapped in lotus leaves to Lin Xun in the carriage...

Lin Xun glanced at Xiao Shiqi, who smiled innocently.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at him deeply.

Xiao Shiqi suddenly felt a chill on his back and thought to himself: It's over, I'm going to be punished when I go back.

But he still took the lotus leaf, handed it to Xiao Xuetang and said, "Try it."

The bowl of steaming ice was placed in front of Xiao Xuetang, which made people shudder all over!

Xiao Xuetang came back to his senses and subconsciously explained: "I'm not..."

Lin Xun's expression remained the same as before, and he said calmly, "The weather is hot, eating a bowl is just right to cool down."

Xiao Xuetang...

How could she explain that she wasn't greedy just now?!

However, the cool bowl of ice with the fragrance of lotus leaves and fruits and sprinkled with jam did arouse Xiao Xuetang's appetite.

Just then a gust of wind blew up a corner of the carriage curtain...

It was late summer and early autumn, and the air was still hot. But in the cool carriage, a handsome man held a bowl of ice in his hand and handed it to the beautiful girl.

The deep and cold eyebrows, with a hint of doting expression, made people who accidentally saw the scene in the carriage sigh that they were a perfect couple.

But Xiao Xuetang didn't notice that after they left, a pair of sinister eyes stared at the carriage that had already gone away...

……

Inside the carriage, Xiao Xuetang was holding the lotus leaf ice bowl absentmindedly. She suddenly felt a chill on her back and shivered!

Lin Xun asked, "What did you see just now that makes you look so unhappy?"

Xiao Xuetang's eyes flickered slightly, thinking back to just now...

Among the children playing and fighting on the street, she seemed to see the child who had been with Fu Shu before!

He has been well behaved these days since Fu Shu ran away last time. Even after Ye Nan was imprisoned, there was no movement from him, so Xiao Xuetang had to wonder whether he had left Kyoto.

But when Lin Xun mentioned Foshu, he always acted very secretive...

Since Lin Xun stopped mentioning Southern Xinjiang and started investigating the late emperor's will from the ministers in the court, Xiao Xuetang had to suspect that he wanted to avoid Foshu.

Xiao Xuetang was worried that mentioning Foshu at this time might distract Lin Xun. More importantly, Foshu gave him a sense of danger...

Thinking of Foshu, Xiao Xuetang seemed to hear his eerie and strange voice of "Empress", and goose bumps seemed to appear on her arms!

Since Foshu hadn't made any moves at this time, Xiao Xuetang didn't need to rush to cause trouble for him. The most important thing for Xiao Xuetang now was to resolve the matter of Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The matter of Foshu could be put aside for the time being...

Having made up his mind, Xiao Xuetang thought about temporarily suppressing the matter of Buddha's forgiveness, and shook his head gently, saying: "Nothing, maybe I saw it wrong."

Lin Xun looked at her deeply.

After taking off the mask, Lin Xun's facial features looked even more fierce. Facing his deep eyes, Xiao Xuetang always felt guilty as if she had been seen through...

Just when Xiao Xuetang was about to be unable to bear it, she heard Lin Xun say, "Eat quickly, the ice bowl is about to melt."

Xiao Xuetang breathed a sigh of relief. She was anxious to hide something, so she scooped up a spoonful without tasting the food. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up instantly...

"There are jams, sweet and sour!"

It has a very rich milky flavor and sweet and sour fruity taste when you put it in your mouth. There is crushed ice at the bottom, which is both delicious and refreshing.

"This lotus root tastes better than the one made in the small kitchen. Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Xuetang asked casually, and by the time he reacted, his whole computer suddenly crashed!
