Huo Changying had just soaked in the water, but at this time it was freezing cold, and the north wind blew on his body, making him feel a little hot, and his mind also became dizzy.

Even so, he could still feel the tighter and tighter grip of the man's big palm on his waist, and even trembled slightly. Huo Changying's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the man.

Seeing Xiao Duo frowned tightly, panic and uneasiness were revealed from the bottom of his eyes, Huo Changying couldn't help but startled. That man who was surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, who didn't mess up his position, was panicking at this time?

Huo Changying's eyes flickered, and suddenly some annoyance and distress arose in his heart.

Originally, he was alone, no matter whether he was injured or sick, no one cared about him, so his daily behavior was naturally reckless, but now, birth, old age, sickness and death are no longer his only business.

Because, he has Xiao Duo.

Born as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection.

Although he and A Duo are both men, it is impossible to tell who is the husband and who is the wife, but they are together, and they will never be separated again. How could he bear to let A Duo stay alone for so many years of loneliness.

Thinking about it, Huo Changying's heart softened, he raised his hand and gently pinched Xiao Duo's earlobe, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, with a flattery and... coquettishness that he hadn't even noticed.

Holding the drenched man in his arms, Xiao Duo's fear and uneasiness gradually faded away.

Just now, when he sensed the secret message left by the baby and hurried over, he saw his baby jumping into the water in front of his eyes, and then sinking desperately as if being dragged by something. blank.

Thinking about it now, if he had to go through what happened nine years ago again, he would definitely not be able to live alone.

"You..." Xiao Duo frowned, and as soon as he pretended to reprimand, he felt a soft and cool touch in his ears, it was actually being pinched gently, not too hard.

He looked down but suddenly froze, the young man was looking at him softly and intently, his wet eyes bent into a beautiful arc, looking straight into his heart.

His eldest baby, is this... acting like a baby to him?

Realizing this cognition, although Xiao Duo was still angry, he finally sighed lightly, and his frown gradually relaxed.

How else can he behave?

This was his eldest baby, the one he had lost and found again, the one he had missed for nine years.

Since he was a child, Xiao Duo had such a self-awareness that no matter what extraordinary things Changying did, he would be willing to be by his side, protect him, and love him.

The person who didn't dare to ask extravagantly in the past is really in his arms at this moment, and his body and mind belong to him. He acted like a baby to him just because he did something wrong. Does Xiao Duo have any dissatisfaction?

After thinking about it, Xiao Duo hurriedly took off his outer robe and wrapped the baby tightly, but he caught a glimpse of the prince who was about to speak out of the corner of his eye, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, he turned sideways, blocking the prince's probing sight, and Pulled up the long robe wrapped around the baby to cover his face.

Seeing Xiao Duo's precautions, the prince coughed slightly in embarrassment. When he turned his back, his peripheral vision slid across Huo Changying's blood-stained palm, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak when he heard something A familiar voice came from the Chaoshou corridor.

Thin and old, he was Sun Fuhai, the head servant by his father's side.

"Bold! Who dares to make a noise in the court?"

Before the words fell, there was a rush of guards' footsteps, followed by the sound of metal rubbing.

But in an instant, they were surrounded.

Huo Changying stared at the sharp blade that almost pierced his forehead, squinted his eyes, glanced at the guards surrounding them from the corner of his eye, and said to himself, as expected, these guards were all unfamiliar faces without exception, and they were not under A Duo people.

The prince also seemed to have noticed something, he turned around to look like Sun Dehai, "Eunuch Sun, what do you mean?" When he spoke, his face became a little paler, but his tone was not weak at all.

Xiao Duo's expression also turned cold in an instant, he looked around at the strange guards who were facing each other, and said slowly: "Xiao, I don't know, but now the forbidden army has recruited so many people?"

The tone was low, and the unfinished coldness in the words made several tender-faced guards tremble.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Sun hurriedly squeezed in from outside the siege, as if he had just seen who the people in the siege were, his complexion changed, he slapped his forehead with a smile on his face, and said in surprise: "Look at our family. The eyes are so old-sighted and old-sighted," he bowed down to apologize to the two of them: "I didn't recognize His Royal Highness and General Xiao!"

"Actually, I can't blame the old slave entirely, after all...the ones who should have appeared at the banquet and those who were recuperating in the palace with the orphan all appeared here," he said, shaking the dust in his hand, "Give the old slave the courage Don’t even dare to think like that.”

When he said this, there was still an indefinable smile on his face, but Huo Changying suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Dehai, he always felt that these words sounded very awkward.

As expected, Sun Dehai hadn't finished speaking, and the royal scene appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

The emperor appeared surrounded by the crowd, followed by the empress and Concubine Nie.

Although the emperor and queen had no expression on their faces, the expressions of the ministers behind them looking and whispering from time to time clearly showed that they had heard what Sun Dehai had just said.

When Sun Dehai saw Shengjia coming, he smiled and hurried forward to report the situation.

After hearing this, the emperor just waved his hands expressionlessly, making people pull away the surrounding guards, his slender eyes swept over the three of them, and paused for a moment on Huo Changying who was protected by Xiao Duo in his arms.

Concubine Nie beside her suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, how did you sing this?"

Out of the corner of her eyes, she turned around the three of them, covered her lips and said with an ambiguous smile: "After all, you are young and full of vigor, oh yes," she looked at the prince, and smiled as if puzzled: " Wasn't the prince still sick in bed before, or couldn't attend today's banquet? Why is this..."

He didn't say the whole thing, but there was a conjecture-inducing ending. In addition to Sun Dehai's previous words, whispers gradually sounded in the crowd.

The empress frowned slightly, and Sun Dehai, who had been silent since just now, stared at the emperor's side, lingering over Concubine Nie, displeasure flashed across his eyes.

The prince's complexion was getting paler at this moment, cold sweat was oozing from his forehead, his brows were tightened, as if he was enduring pain, but his dignified appearance remained intact.

Xiao Duo looked displeased, and was about to get up to speak, but Huo Changying gently pressed the back of his hand and stopped his movement. Seeing Changying shaking his head slowly at him, Xiao Duo also calmed down.

Huo Changying's body became colder and colder due to soaking in water, and he seemed to be getting hotter, but he snorted in his heart. He had seen this kind of method of making rumors in the court a lot in his previous life, but he didn't need to pay attention to it at that time, and no one Dare to involve him.

Now that I have become the protagonist, I realize that although this method will not hurt the root cause, it is as disgusting as eating flies.

Even if someone explains the truth, it will not disappear.

Because people only want to believe in gorgeous and exciting rumors, but people deliberately ignore the truth because of its plainness.

Concubine Nie, on the other hand, didn't seem to realize what kind of influence her words had had. Instead, she took a step towards the emperor, and when she wanted to say something more, she felt a tight elbow and was pulled back.

"Royal father, queen mother,"

It was the third prince who was following Concubine Nie who made the sound. He walked among several people, saluted the emperor and empress, then suddenly knelt down and said respectfully, "Please forgive me for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence all around, and all the officials who had been discussing in private were suddenly calm, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Concubine Nie's smile froze, and she hurriedly said, "My lord, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"Mother and concubine, my son and minister are not talking nonsense," the third prince briefly explained to Concubine Nie, then looked at the emperor seriously and said: "Father, today is the New Year's Eve family banquet, which is a day for family reunion. When the queen mother is filial, "

"Eldest brother felt guilty and blamed himself for not being able to attend due to illness. Therefore, my son discussed with elder brother to prepare a small show for father, queen and queen by the Taiye pool between the banquets."

The third prince was sincere and did not seem to be fake at all, but the three people present knew that they did not discuss with the third prince to prepare a little show of filial piety for the emperor and empress.

Huo Changying looked sideways, and could only see the back of the third prince. The young boy's back was not thin, and the prince lowered his eyes slightly to see the expression clearly, so he probably didn't know it.

But why did the third prince rescue them?

Before Chang Ying could figure it out, the Third Prince had already explained the reason clearly, saying: "It's the filial piety of the sons and ministers, but they didn't tell the father in advance, and it also affected the emperor's brother Yu General Xiao."

"Father, please punish your son and minister." Then he kowtowed deeply.

After listening to the words of the third prince, the displeasure between the emperor's brows dissipated a lot, but the queen, who had never spoken, looked at Huo Changying slightly, wondering what she was thinking.

But after this, Concubine Nie's face looked better, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in her eyes.

"His heart is commendable," the emperor said slowly, looking at his youngest son kneeling in front of him with no emotion on his face, "However, if you disregard the palace rules and disregard your elder brother's illness, you should be punished, and you will be punished... "

"emperor!"

"emperor,"

Concubine Nie and the empress spoke at the same time, but the former was stopped by the emperor. The empress smiled softly, "It's rare for the children to show filial piety. If it's New Year's Eve, the emperor will be the father of an ordinary family once, so Saner will not be punished."

Seeing the emperor's eyebrows twitching slightly, she said slowly: "If you really want to punish, then punish San'er to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures. It is also right to pray for the blessings of Da Yin and you as a father. Isn't it auspicious?" ?”

The emperor glanced at the queen, finally smiled, patted the queen's hand and said: "The queen has a heart, so I will do as the queen said, and the third one will be punished to copy the scriptures in the inner Buddhist hall. Can't do it on my own."

"I obey." The third prince kowtowed, showing no dissatisfaction on his face.

The farce by the Taiye Pool came to an end, and the emperor and the empress also stopped watching the novel singing and dancing in the mouth of Concubine Nie.

When Sheng Jia left, the queen, who was one step behind, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Xiao Duo who was holding Huo Changying, hesitated, and asked: "General Xiao, it's freezing cold, women can't stand such a torment." Why don't you go to Kunhe Palace and change into clean clothes first." As he spoke, his eyes casually drifted towards the person whose face was covered in Xiao Duo's arms.

Leaving aside the fact that Chang Ying is actually a man whose identity cannot be revealed, now that the third prince came out to rescue him just now, Xiao Duo could feel the body temperature of the person in his arms gradually burning up, and he was anxious, but he had to secretly transfer the inner part to relieve Chang Ying. The cold air gradually recovering from the baby's body.

At this moment, he was even more anxious to leave the palace and go back to the mansion, because of the empress's question, Xiao Duo had no time to think about the deep meaning of it, so he refused without thinking, "Thank you, empress empress, for your kindness, but my wife is weak. The elixir can relieve the pain, I implore the empress to let Xiao go back to the house quickly, "

After saying that, Xiao Duo knelt down on one knee and said firmly, "Human life is at stake!"

Empress Wang was a little surprised, she didn't know if it was because the wife who was chosen out of thousands for General Xiao was actually a sick child, or because of Xiao Duo's sudden anxiety.

She was also young before, so she naturally knew that this kind of heartfelt concern for the one she loved could not be faked, so she stopped forcing her and sent the big maid beside her to send him out of the palace all the way.

After everyone left, the two people who were hiding in the shadows came out.

At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, but the Zichen Palace is still brightly lit, and the singing and dancing that was originally arranged by the Taiye Pool has also moved to the front hall, and the Taiye Pool is even colder and deserted.

The hustle and bustle of singing and dancing in the distance seems to be isolated.

"Your master, how is my performance today?" A young and clear voice sounded.

The other person laughed lightly and said: "Master is naturally powerful, Zhong Qin has to thank Master." As he said this, he was about to kneel down, but was supported by someone.

It was the third prince and his personal servant Zhong Qin.

"Okay, okay," the third prince said while supporting the carillon, "Of course, this can be regarded as our repaying the life-saving grace of the general's wife."

As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously: "You said, is there something in the pool? Why did the general's wife fall into the water with such skill?"

As he said that, he seemed to be curious, and he was about to lean out to the pool.

"Your Highness!"
