The Empire and the Kingdom

Zhiqiong Palace, the emperor now comes here whenever he has time.Although Concubine Xian's body has recovered a lot, she is still weak.The emperor sat on the porch and chatted with Concubine Xian, as if he was young again.

After the battle, Xu Weishu ran into the palace and made friends with Princess Yongning. When the Xingguo mission was about to leave Beijing, they actually persuaded Princess Yongning and took them away.

Concubine Xian was worried about Princess Yongning who had gone to Xing Kingdom, so the emperor reassured her.Concubine Xian needs to drink medicine and eat, and the emperor will feed her with his own hands when he is around.She is obviously an imperial concubine, but she is like a newly married couple, loving and affectionate.

Xue Xiang often failed to find the emperor when he entered the palace recently.As soon as he asked, he went to the harem, and Xiang Xue became a little irritable. Whose country is this?

It's not that he, as the prime minister, has to be decided by the emperor, the problem is that some things must be decided by the emperor before he dares to move.For example, in the case of the third prince, if you want to move the prince, can the emperor disagree?But he can't even see the emperor now.Can this kind of thing be brought up in the morning to talk about it?After not seeing the emperor again, Xue Xiang went out of the palace angrily. If he still doesn't see the emperor next time, he will tell the story in the morning!

The emperor, who was nestled in Zhiqiong Palace all day long, finally remembered that there was still a concubine Wang Guifei who had been ill all the time. After repeated persuasion by the concubine Xian, he was finally willing to visit Jiaolan Palace.

When Wang Guifei saw the emperor, she cried and told that the fifth prince had killed the second prince.Of course, the emperor also heard the rumors outside, and he also sent someone to investigate this matter, but he has not received any return yet.Hearing what Wang Guifei said was true, he could no longer treat it as a rumor.Coming out of Jiaolan Palace, he immediately went back to Qinzheng Palace and called the person in charge of thoroughly investigating this matter, he wanted an explanation.

The Fifth Prince's matter was indeed very secretive. The bad thing was that he silenced his mouth too much after the rumors came out.For a person who wants to kill himself to silence him, who would keep a secret?Therefore, the fifth prince's criminal evidence was quickly verified.

People who eat melons in Beijing have said that the melons are too big to eat in one bite.

The fifth prince was imprisoned, and everyone in his mansion was arrested and interrogated one by one.So many things surfaced, one of which was the affair between the Fifth Prince and Xue Zhi.

When the matter was reported to the emperor, the emperor was comforting Xiang Xue who was about to explode.The humerus minister of the imperial court was eloquently talking about the third prince, the emperor sighed, his sons were all worried, but looking at Xiang Xue in front of him, he didn't dare to complain anymore, and Xiang Xue's daughter was also worried. peace of mind.For a while, the emperor felt a sense of sympathy.

"Your Majesty, are you listening to my minister?" Xue Xiang's tone was very respectful, but his eyes were those of an old fox.

The emperor hurriedly sat upright, "Xue Qing, whether the third prince is being used by someone or not is related to the relationship with Ling Guo. We have to discuss this matter in the long term." He waved his hand, and a little eunuch beside him brought hot tea. With a wave of hands, all the eunuchs and maids retreated.

When Xue Xiang took a sip of tea, he found that there were no people around him.He looked up at the emperor, and at the memorial he had just received in his hand, he already had a guess in his mind.

"Xue Qing, is it difficult to manage more daughters?" The emperor asked in a tone of someone who had experienced it.

"Fortunately, there is no collusion with other countries." Xue Xiang's obvious ridicule made the emperor frown.

"Xue Qing is so angry, uh... Xue Zhi's matter, you see... I can let the fifth prince be responsible, as long as you agree."

"My minister does not agree." Xiang Xue refused decisively. "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about my minister. I will handle the affairs of my minister's family on my own. The family is unfortunate, and a person who has no sense of shame is a minister who has no way to teach his daughter, and has nothing to do with your majesty."

The emperor sighed, "My sons and daughters, they are all debts owed by previous lives." He looked at the memorial on the table, "Two princes were lost at once, and my son is almost gone."

Xue Xiang tried his best to restrain the thought of snorting, "Your Majesty still has no intention of establishing a crown prince?"

The emperor shook his head. "Before, I didn't want to establish a prince early, but now I don't know who to appoint." The remaining four princes, six princes and seven princes are not ideal candidates.

Xue Xiang couldn't give advice on this kind of thing. Seeing that the handling of the third prince was still undecided today, he left and went home.

As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Xue Ai standing aside, as if he had made a big mistake.

"What's the matter? Did you cause trouble outside?" To be honest, if Xue Ai really got into trouble and came home to ask for help, Xiang Xue would be quite happy.Xue Ai can solve everything by himself now, and Feng Jingsu will solve what can't be solved, which makes Xue Xiang a little uncomfortable.As a father, there is nothing he can do for his daughter, he can only give some money if he has nothing to do, Xue Ai always doesn't want it.

"Daddy, I heard that the people from the Fifth Prince's Mansion brought out the matter of the second sister." Xue Ai lowered her head, "It's my daughter who didn't think carefully."

Xue Xiang raised his eyebrows, "So, you revealed the matter of the fifth prince to the imperial concubine?"

Xue Ai nodded.This kind of thing can't be hidden from Xue Xiang.

"Ai'er, tell me the truth, what exactly does the princess want?" The people from the Fifth Prince's Mansion had just confessed, and the emperor had just received the memorial. Xue Ai got the news and came back to admit his mistake. What does this mean?It shows that Feng Jingsu's power is far greater than what they saw, which makes Xue Xiang have to doubt what Feng Jingsu is planning.

Xue Ai tilted her head, as if she didn't understand Xiang Xue's words.

"It's not like there is no precedent for a woman to be emperor on the mainland." Xue Xiang suddenly murmured.

Xue Ai was surprised, but didn't dare to show it.But her pretended calmness has long been seen through by Xue Xiang, "Okay, let's not talk about the princess, what are your plans for the future?"

Xue Ai stared at Xue Xiang with wide eyes, "What plan?"

"Are you planning to follow the princess for the rest of your life?" Xiang Xue laughed.

"Daddy, can't you?" Xue Ai asked timidly.She just wanted to follow Feng Jingsu for the rest of her life.

Now Xiang Xue really frowned, he knew that Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai were good friends, and when he was young, he also had the kind of friends who liked to be together day and night.Friendships are beautiful, but maintaining them doesn't mean letting go of other emotions.Xue Ai is no longer young, it's time to consider marriage.This time, he will personally choose a good family for Xue Ai, if it is the kind of man who puts Xue Ai in his palm and takes care of him.

"I won't stop you if you want to help the princess, but you should think about the important things in your life. Don't always live in a muddle, you will regret it when you get older." The father is also worried.

"Father, are you going to marry your daughter?" Xue Ai said pitifully, as if Xiang Xue wanted to sell her.

Xue Xiang couldn't help laughing, "You don't want to?"

Xue Ai shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want to, not at all."

"You girl." Xue Xiang stroked her head, "When will you grow up?"

Xue Ai hugged his hand, "Daughters don't grow up, daughters don't want to marry."

This childish words softened Xue Xiang's heart. This daughter has been treated harshly since she was a child, but now she has a little love from the princess and herself. No wonder she is so clingy.Forget it, a daughter will be very naive when she gets married to her husband's family, so let's stay for a few more years.

"Okay, okay, Ai'er doesn't get married, how about Ai'er who will be a father forever?" Xue Xiang is rare to coax the child.

Xue Ai cried after hearing this, "Daddy, you are so kind to my daughter."

"Silly boy, I'm my real father." Xue Xiang coaxed Xue Ai, and thought for a while, "I want to visit Zhi'er in a few days, can you go with me?"

"Okay." Xue Ai nodded quickly.

Back at the Garrison Mansion, Feng Jingsu was lying on the bed, saw her come back and complained: "You have been away for a long time."

Xue Ai took off her coat and climbed onto the bed, put her head on Feng Jingsu's arm, hugged Feng Jingsu and kissed again and again.

"What's wrong?" Feng Jingsu felt a little flustered when she noticed that Xue Ai was unusual.

"Daddy said he wants me to marry someone." Xue Ai buried her head in Feng Jingsu's arms, and her voice came out muffled.

Feng Jingsu frowned, and quickly hugged Xue Ai, warming her and reassuring her.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let you marry."

After a while, Xue Ai raised her head, "Sister Su, I told my father that I would not marry, and it seems that my father has given up this idea for the time being." But when she thought that she might marry in the future, she felt very flustered.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I have everything to do with me." Feng Jingsu hugged Xue Ai tightly, held her face in his arms and kept kissing her.

Xue Ai slipped her hand into Feng Jingsu's lapel, "Sister Su, do you want me? I am yours, and I just want to be yours." She prayed almost like a sacrifice. At this moment, she needed Use this simplest and direct contact to determine the relationship between the two.

Because Feng Jingsu needed to cultivate, the two hadn't been intimate for a long time. At this moment, both of them needed to reassure each other. This cloud and rain lasted from afternoon to evening.

When Yu Shu came in to light the lamp, Feng Jingsu had already put on her clothes and stood up. She asked for a basin of warm water and scrubbed Xue Ai's sweaty body with her own hands.

Xue Ai was really exhausted this time, and she didn't wake up after letting Feng Jingsu fiddle with her.Meng An came over to see her master, the kitchen was about to start dinner.As a result, at the door, she saw Yushu and Yuyan guarding the door like door gods. She pointed to the inside and whispered, "What's going on?"

Yushu looked at the sky, Yuyan said: "It's the kind of situation you know."

Meng An blushed and left, she should tell the kitchen to put all the food on the stove to heat up.

Xue Ai woke up from starvation.Her health is much better, so she will be hungry if she misses a meal.She slowly opened her eyes and saw the dim light, and then she wanted to get up, but found that her whole body was weak and it was difficult to move.

Only then did she think of what happened in the afternoon, those frantic and intimate movements, that never-ending obsession, Xue Ai's face was extremely red and extremely hot.She tried her best to turn over and buried her face in the quilt. She remembered that she begged Feng Jingsu to want her again and again, ah!Just stop being human!

"Are you awake?" It was Feng Jingsu's voice.

Xue Ai felt more and more ashamed, twisted her body, and buried her head deeper.

Feng Jingsu got on the bed, reached out and patted her little butt, "You look like a bug, and you're kind of cute."

"How can a bug be cute? It's ugly!" She was not convinced, how could she look like a bug?Isn't it a fox?

As soon as she looked up, she saw Feng Jingsu's smiling eyes, and she knew she had been fooled.

"Ah!" she cried, and buried her face again.

After being vegetarian for a long time, she finally had a full meal, and Feng Jingsu felt refreshed.
