The Empire and the Kingdom

Facing Meng'an's question, Xue Ai looked up, "Yeah, why did you get tricked?" Since he already knew that the other party might do something, why did such a thing happen?Obviously Feng Jingsu had other plans.

She found that she couldn't see Feng Jingsu clearly more and more, which made her a little painful. She was already studying the political affairs and analyzing the news very hard. Although it made her feel a little exhausted, she was still willing to work hard. Because the person I want to chase is Feng Jingsu.

Feng Jingsu returned to the garrison mansion and saw that Xue Ai had asked the maids to pack up their luggage.Xue Ai is also a person who can afford to let go, and she has ordered the entire defense mansion to be cleaned up so that there is no trace of them left.

"How unwilling you are to clean up so clean." Feng Jingsu pinched her cheek, "Don't worry, we will be back."

"I know." Xue Ai pouted, "We will definitely come back! It doesn't make sense for people to take advantage of it and not get it back."

Feng Jingsu was amused seeing her angry look, "Xiao Ai, will you come into the palace with me?"

Xue Ai looked up, her beautiful eyebrows made people's heart flutter. "Sister Su, why do you ask me such things at this time? Wherever you are, I will be there." Her mind was a little sensitive because of recent events.

"It was my fault." Feng Jingsu saw that Xue Ai looked a little unhappy, and knew that she was distressed that she had lost her military power. "I don't care about this bit of military power. Let the emperor fight with the people behind the scenes. If you don't lose it, you won't cherish it, understand?"

Xue Ai nodded, the emperor had lived in peace for a long time, and he had forgotten who was supporting him when he wandered around the harem every day.

Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai returned to the palace with all their luggage, and all the soldiers of the Garrison Palace lined up to see them off before leaving.The atmosphere turned out to be a little sad.

Xue Ai fell ill as soon as she entered the palace. She was really tired during this time.One must have a belief that she can still support herself even though she has been busy all the time. Now that she is free, all her exhaustion has been recovered in one fell swoop.

Feng Jingsu stayed by Xue Ai's side all day, looking at the little fox who was having difficulty breathing, she felt very distressed.At the same time, she also felt that her decision was right. Xue Ai needed a buffer time. Her health was indeed better than before, but it was still worse than ordinary people. It was very difficult to survive for so long without getting sick.

Xue Ai had a high fever all over his body, and he could only get a little coolness by holding Feng Jingsu's arm. "Sister Su, I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore." Her cheeks were burning red, and her eyes were full of exhaustion.

Feng Jingsu touched her hot forehead with the other hand, "Xiao Ai, you said you wouldn't put me in a dilemma."

Probably only Xue Ai could understand this. She said that she would not let Feng Jingsu choose between her and the imperial power. "I'll get better soon. But..." She hugged Feng Jingsu's arm firmly, "Before I get better, can you stay with me a little longer?" She was a little blocked, and she couldn't say why, maybe it was Because Feng Jingsu was deprived of military power this time, maybe it was because she found that she could no longer keep up with Feng Jingsu's footsteps. Anyway, she was a little depressed, otherwise she wouldn't be sick.

Feng Jingsu smiled, got up, took off her coat, got under the quilt, and hugged Xue Ai, who was like a small stove, in her arms, "Xiao Ai, I will accompany you. I won't go anywhere until you recover from illness."

Xue Ai buried her head in Feng Jingsu's arms, she knew she was fragile.Since Feng Jingsu returned to China, the two of them have been going smoothly, even if there is an accident by accident, they will always come back.Perhaps it was the long-term advantage that made her think that they could go on like this forever, just work hard like this, and then they would be able to ascend to the position of supremacy.Now it seems that she is naive.She was a little scared, afraid that she would not be able to help Feng Jingsu, and that she was not qualified to stand by Feng Jingsu's side. She didn't want to just be Feng Jingsu's woman and let others protect her for the rest of her life, she also wanted to help.

Thinking about this, Xue Ai fell asleep in a daze.It's just that she didn't even notice that there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Feng Jingsu reached out to wipe away her tears, and sighed faintly, the little fox was frustrated.Maybe I shouldn't adopt such a decisive method, maybe I should talk to the little fox more, she can accept any form of failure, as long as she is still there, she will always make a comeback, but it seems that the little fox can't do it.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, the emperor is facing a lot of trouble.Don't say anything else, just say who will hand over the 1 garrison army to?After much thought, he handed it over to Hou Libai, the eldest grandson of Duke Dingguo, who is the eldest son of Princess Minghui and his own nephew.

Unexpectedly, Princess Minghui came into the palace and said that Hou Libai had been ill recently and could not take over the garrison, and asked the emperor to find someone else.

The emperor was so angry, did he look down on these 1 people?Being able to lead 1 people in the important area of ​​Gyeonggi is almost equivalent to controlling the life and death of the capital, and ordinary people are not at ease.

Princess Minghui didn't care about these things, she resigned from her errand, turned around and left.She is the youngest sister of the emperor, she has always ignored the affairs of the court, and she does not want her sons to be involved with the royal family.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is nothing to contend for the throne, but rights can still be contested.Feng Jingsu is the emperor's own daughter, capable and not threatening, the emperor can't trust such a person, let the rumors fly all over the sky, and take the opportunity to seize Feng Jingsu's military power, so what is his nephew, his son?Naturally, thousands of people will congratulate you when you accept it, but what about when you are deprived of military power?She didn't want her son to fall into the fire pit of power.

There was no other way, the emperor had no choice but to find a general with a very low official position to take over the garrison.

This group of people were all trained by Feng Jingsu and Guan Xuejing with high standards, and the skills of these two people can indeed be controlled.Now a general with no combat achievements and no abilities has come. No matter what others say, this person can't even command Li Changqing.In the army, it is not enough to have a high official position, and a general can't use strong hands to suppress people, so what can he use to suppress people?Pulled out alone, he is not as good as a centurion.

This person is also a person who can afford to let go. After asking a few people with good relationships, he realized that it was related to the power struggle of the royal family. When the dynasty opened in the next year, he hurriedly wrote a letter saying that his ability was limited. , cannot lead the garrison.

The emperor looked at the memorial to resign, and shook his head with a wry smile, "What's so messed up? You can't even write the memorial letter well, as expected."

Concubine Xian never talked much about government affairs.Today he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Yongning went to Shenhe Palace to visit Miss Xue San yesterday."

The emperor turned his head, "I heard that she is ill."

"Yes, I heard from Yongning that he was seriously ill, and Yun Yi stayed around every day, and even used his internal strength to keep him." Concubine Xian sat beside the emperor and sighed, "Concubines are also people with daughters. I can't hear this. A girl like a flower, God won't take her away so cruelly."

But the emperor asked: "Did Yongning say how Yun Yi is doing recently?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, "What else can I do? Yun Yi and Miss Xue San have such a good relationship, now that Miss Xue San is so seriously ill, what other thoughts can she have? She is also a poor child."

The emperor was silent for a while, "Does Aifei also think that I shouldn't have taken Yun Yi's military power?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, "Your Majesty knows that the ministers and concubines never listened to, asked or cared about the affairs of the previous court. The concubines are just a female class, and they are already afraid of being favored, so how dare they interfere in the affairs of the court?"

The emperor nodded secretly, women should be like concubines, as long as they are as gentle as water, they should not compete with men in the court.

"However..." Concubine Xian continued, "Not all women are like concubines. Everyone has their own way to go. Concubine Chen was willing to come to Yun Kingdom to get married back then, even though she suffered from illness for many years I have never regretted it, because this road was chosen by the concubine herself. Yun Yi...Your Majesty sent her to that academy back then, so you should know what kind of road she will take in the future."

Concubine Xian's meaning is very simple, if there is a woman like her, there will be a woman like Feng Jingsu.Women should not just have one face, one look.

"I didn't intend to take her military power, it's because the courtiers have been making too much noise recently." The emperor began to throw the blame.

Concubine Xian laughed, the emperor has softened.She didn't continue talking, after all, she was the emperor, so she had to show some face.

Xue Ai's condition gradually improved after the Lantern Festival, and Feng Jingsu didn't need to help him cool down from time to time.During this period of time, the two were almost inseparable. Xue Ai was in low spirits, sleeping for half the day, and chatting when they were awake.Talk about the current situation, talk about the next step.

Originally, Feng Jingsu didn't want to talk to her about these things, but obviously saying these things would give Xue Ai confidence and help her recuperate.

"Get better soon, okay?" Feng Jingsu fed Xue Ai the medicine spoon by spoon, and Xue Ai was so bitter that she stuck out her tongue.Feng Jingsu put down the empty medicine bowl, kissed Xue Ai with a candied fruit, and pushed the candied fruit into Xue Ai's mouth.

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet!" Xue Ai was still uninspired, but smiling.

Just as Xue Ai's health was getting better day by day, something went wrong with the emperor's health.At first, it was just a little weak, and the emperor didn't care too much, after all, he wasn't a young man anymore.But day by day, the emperor's spirit became worse and worse.Often talking, there is no movement. If you look carefully, you will find that you have fallen asleep.

The imperial physician was sent to come and see, but the imperial physician could not see any problem, and only said that the emperor had worked hard for state affairs and should rest more.

Now the emperor stopped working even more, and all major government affairs fell on the shoulders of Xue Xiang. Xue Xiang was indeed a very miraculous existence. Even at this point, he did not see any panic. Things were handled in an orderly manner, even though some ministers were dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xue's monopoly, they were oppressed by Prime Minister Xue with a smile.

After the first month, Xue Ai completely recovered, but all the little meat he managed to raise was gone.Looking at her skinny figure, Xue Ai frowned, it was so ugly!

"I won't despise you." In the curtain, Feng Jingsu looked at Xue Ai's skinny appearance, but felt distressed.

"Ah!" Xue Ai pouted, but she was already tired of it.It's been a long time since the two of them have been so close, but she thinks very much.

Feng Jingsu looked at the little fox who was trying to seduce her, and felt that she was really an ascetic person. Facing such a little goblin, she didn't even sing every night. She had to admire this self-control.
