In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Jingqiao accompanied Zhao Qingzhi to the Zhao family's old house to visit Zhao Dongxi and Xu.

After breakfast, Zhao Qingzhi took her little niece to play in the back house, while Jiang Jingqiao talked with Zhao Dongxi and the three brothers from the Zhao family in the front house.

Zhao Ninglang couldn't sit still, he leaned forward and said: "Your Highness, I heard that Marshal Liu Jie of the Northern Territory and some generals were imprisoned yesterday, so is there a shortage of people in the Northern Territory now?"

Jiang Jingqiao laughed when he heard this: "Why, second brother wants to go to the battlefield?"

"I'm a general, what's the matter with staying at home all the time!" Zhao Zilang smiled sheepishly.

Jiang Jingqiao understood Zhao Zilang's distress, and said with a smile, "You are not needed in the northern border, but if you wait patiently for a while, your stick will always be there to beat you."

Zhao Zilang - he felt refreshed and wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw Xing Wu hurried in, he stopped talking.

"Your Highness." Xingwu bent down next to Jiang Jingqiao's ear, and whispered: "Your Highness stayed in the sky prison last night according to His Highness's instructions, and the other party really did something poisonous. Your subordinate followed the poisoner at night and found that the poisoner was in the middle of the night. It's Huang Xing."

"What!" Jiang Jingqiao was taken aback. Huang Xing, a literati, put himself in danger?

"Your Highness, Huang Xing has kung fu, and his skills are not weak. The subordinates suspect that he proposed to encircle Zhao Dongxin's dead men to lure His Highness to the suburbs, thinking..." Xing Wu stopped after the rest of the sentence.

Although Xingwu didn't say anything below, Jiang Jingqiao already understood, Huang Xing threw Zhao Dongxin to win her trust, and lured her to go to the suburbs together, looking for opportunities to kill her.

Jiang Jingqiao clenched her fists, Huang Xing is really insidious, if she hadn't seen Huang Xing's true colors, she would most likely fall for Huang Xing.

At this time, the servants of the Zhao family rushed in: "Master, there are people from the palace, Master Xuan immediately go to the court to discuss matters."

Zhao Dongxi - listened to Jiang Jingqiao and asked: "Your Highness, what do you know?" He has been an official for so many years, and he has never experienced the thing of being temporarily proclaimed to the palace after leaving the early court.

Jiang Jingqiao heard this and said: "Father-in-law and the two uncles should be mentally prepared for the court this time. I just got the news that Liu Jie and others - all the rebellious ministers died in the prison. Your Majesty summoned us urgently. It must be because of this incident. At that time, Long Yan will be furious."

"This is indeed a big deal." Zhao Dongxi stood up and looked at his two sons, "Hurry up and change your court clothes and enter the palace immediately."

Although Jiang Jingqiao knew that she was acting for King Ning and his people, she still had an anxious look on her face, she looked at Xing Wu and said, "This king is going into the palace, you stay with the concubine." After finishing speaking, she hurried out Zhao Mansion.

On the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Zhengde was furious and knelt down with a group of courtiers, while Jiang Jingqiao stood upright under the imperial steps. Seeing Emperor Zhengde's angry appearance, she couldn't help but lamented that her imperial brother's acting skills were really superb.

Jiang Jingqiao pursed her lips, stepped forward to pick up the bag that Emperor Zhengde had thrown on the ground, when she turned around, she saw Huang Xing and Zhao Dongxin's eye contact, she turned around quickly, as if she didn't see each other.

"Investigate, investigate for me immediately, the prime minister must lead the three divisions to find out the real culprit for me, and I want to see who in the end poisoned it!!" Emperor Zhengde sat back on the dragon chair angrily, "Anyone who is not loyal, I will crush it to ashes."

Zhao Dongxin knelt in the corner, his hands trembling inexplicably, what he did would either make him an official or his head would fall to the ground. In this world, we always seek wealth and danger.

The prime minister, Xu Youqing, knelt down to accept the order. He knew everything in his heart. The so-called investigation was just a delay. If it was delayed until the triumphant return of the northern border, there would be no need to act to stabilize King Ning. But if you know it, you know, the case still needs to be resolved. Check it carefully, so that other people can't see the flaws.

I think he is sixty-nine this year, after this matter, he should retire and return to Liangzhou to live a few days of peace.

Emperor Zhengde narrowed his eyes, and took in the expressions of the courtiers below. Today he just took this opportunity to rectify Chaogang. If he was as easy-going as before, how could these ministers really feel awe of him in their hearts.

"Prime Minister, check carefully. I'm waiting to see whether you are true or false loyalty to me." Emperor Zhengde said sharply, stood up, left without saying a word.

Emperor Zhengde left, but the hearts of all the ministers did not drop. For the first time, they all returned to the mansion obediently after the court, and everyone's face was like frost.

"From now on, going to court may not be as easy as before." Zhao Dongxi left the palace and sighed to his two sons, "From now on, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, especially Ning Lang."

"Understood, father." A warrior like Zhao Ninglang could also feel the change of Emperor Zhengde.

Things were exactly as Zhao Dongxi said, and after that—even seven or eight days early in the court, officials were reprimanded by Emperor Zhengde, and every two or three days there would always be officials who were demoted, and the whole court was panicked.

On the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Xingwu secretly brought Gao Qingyan from the manor back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

When Gao Qingyan saw Jiang Jingqiao, his eyes turned red and he thumped - he knelt down in front of Jiang Jingqiao and kowtowed desperately.

"Okay, stop knocking." Jiang Jingqiao couldn't bear it when he thought of the relationship between master and servant in the past, but thinking about Gao Qingyan once letting A Wu go, and even trying to let Concubine Yi go in front of her, such a person even She is still somewhat loyal, and she will not use it again, but this time, Huang Xing asked Qingyan by name, and she also wanted to use this to persuade herself to give Qingyan a way out.

"Qingyan, this king has something to ask you to do, do you still want to go?"

Gao Qingyan-Listen, he was stunned at first, then he solemnly kowtowed and said: "Your Highness has something to do, Qingyan will not hesitate to die."

"Okay, put your ears on it."

Jiang Jingqiao talked with Gao Qingyan alone for more than an hour, then Gao Qingyan disguised himself and left Prince Jing's Mansion, avoiding the busy city all the way to the gate of the city, while the gate was changing defenses, he jumped out of the city wall.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the entire capital city was extremely lively. After Jiang Jingqiao saw Gao Qingyan again, she took Zhao Qingzhi out of the gate of the mansion. There were guards paddling the palace's boat and waiting on the shore of the lake. The two spent the Lantern Festival leisurely on the lake. Festival.

At this time, Liangzhou County was as lively as the capital, but Wang Xin, who was in charge of Liangzhou County, was very busy. Because the office was very cold at night, he simply took his business back to the house.

"My lord, this is the situation of the city wall that you asked your subordinates to investigate." Qixin put a few notebooks on the desk.

"Okay." Wang Xin stopped writing, picked up the booklet and read it, "Tomorrow you will lead people to repair the western city wall, and the other four gates will be replaced. You will call the carpenters and blacksmiths tomorrow."

"My lord, are you going to hit the stick?" Qixin asked worriedly.

Wang Xin was stunned when he heard the words, and said slowly: "It's peaceful now, don't worry, let a few people spread the news tomorrow, saying that this official - I want to make achievements when I take office, and I am a little happy, so I put my heart on everything about the city wall. "

Qixin-Ting hurriedly said: "My lord, wouldn't it hurt your official reputation to say so."

"It doesn't matter, the official manages the common people. Forever, the common people know it well. Now you just let people say this to reassure the common people." Wang Xin picked up his pen again as he spoke.

Seeing this, Qixin had no choice but to back out. Just as he closed the door, after walking two steps, he saw Wang Xin walking towards here with a food box, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Qixin, is your lord still busy?" Wang Xin looked into the room and asked.

"Yes, my lord has been busy until midnight, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, why don't you go in and persuade me?" Qixin is a sincere person, thinking that the girl in front of him will marry his lord soon, so he also No intention to guard against Wang Xin.

"Okay, I'm cooking glutinous rice balls, and I just want to urge you to eat them." Wang Xin heard that it was just what she wanted, so she smiled and passed Qixin.

As soon as Qixin was about to leave, he smelled a fragrance and guessed it was from Wang Xin, so he ran away in embarrassment.

Wang Xin walked to the door with the food box in hand, and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in." Wang Xin didn't even look up, thinking that Qixin had something else to do, but after hearing the light footsteps, she sensed something was wrong, and quickly raised her head, seeing that it was Wang Xin, she put down her pen and stood up.

"Miss Xin'er."

Wang Xin—Listen, put the food box on the desk, blushing and said: "The wedding date is fixed, why do you still call me Miss Xin'er?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin's fair face also flushed, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Xin, Xin'er."

"Today, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my mother asked me to bring you some glutinous rice balls. You can eat them while they are hot." Wang Xin opened the food box and brought the glutinous rice balls inside to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin quickly took it with both hands, looking at the warm glutinous rice balls, a warm current flowed through her heart.

"Thank you Xin'er." Wang Xin thanked her sincerely, because today she felt missed and cared for, and she hadn't felt this way for a long time since her parents passed away.

"What are you talking about, my lord? They are almost family members." Wang Xin blushed and handed over the chopsticks.

When Wang Xin heard the word - family, his heart softened. With a shy smile, he took the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Yes, it is - family, have you eaten? Or - together eat it?"

"I ate it, my lord, eat it quickly, look at your mess, let me clean it up for you." Wang Xin said and started to clean up various documents on the table.

Seeing this, Wang Xin hurriedly said, "Xin'er, I'll take care of these myself."

"Qixin said that my lord is busy these days until midnight. How can I bear this? I'll help you take care of these things, and you should have more time to rest." Wang Xin kept moving her hands as she said.

Wang Xin—hearing that Wang Xin was distressing her, felt like eating honey in her heart. Although some unmarked documents were mixed together by unexpected means, she was still very happy, and she didn't feel that Wang Xin was helping her.

While sorting out the documents, Wang Xin kept an eye on the city defense documents. After sorting them out, she took the initiative to stand beside her and grind ink for Wang Xin.

Wang Xin was eating glutinous rice balls, and secretly glanced at Wang Xin, the corners of her mouth were always raised, and now she is also lucky enough to win a red sleeve, which she never thought of before.

"Xin'er, it's very dark outside. There will be a Lantern Festival tonight. There are so many people outside that it's not safe. After you go out, find Qixin and ask him to take you back." Wang Xin put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating the glutinous rice balls.

Wang Xin paused when she heard the words, and said in a muffled voice, "Did you urge me to leave just after meeting?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean." Wang Xin hurriedly explained, "I'm just afraid that the road will be unsafe."

"Look at your urgency, Xin'er is teasing you, your lord is busy with your work, I'll add some charcoal to the stove." After Wang Xin said that, she turned and left the desk.

Seeing this, Wang Xin had no choice but to sit back slowly, glanced at Wang Xin, and reopened the notebook.

Wang Xin—he was very involved when he was busy, and gradually, Wang Xin became sleepy. He heard the third watch drum beating outside, so he stopped writing, beat his shoulder, and yawned—turned to see the food box in front of the desk, and then remembered Wang Xinlai looked up but didn't see anyone, thinking that the other person left quietly.

Wang Xin collected the booklet, picked up the lamp on the desk and walked towards the bed step by step, yawning. Just as he put the lamp on the small table beside the bed, he heard a shy voice behind him.

"Adult~~"

Wang Xin was startled, and turned around quickly, only to see Wang Xin lying on her bed, and immediately stuttered in fright: "Xin, Xin'er, what are you..."

"At first I just wanted to make the bed for the adults, but when I touched the bedding and found it was cold, I decided to warm it up for the adults." Wang Xin said shyly.

"This, I can't do it, I can't do it." Hearing this, Wang Xin quickly picked up the clothes stacked on the stool and sent them to the bed, "Xin'er, put on your clothes quickly, I'll go find a lantern and take you home." Home."

Wang Xin - Hearing this, she was not happy: "Your Excellency despises me?"

"How can I dislike it? It's just that you and I are not married yet, so it's really inappropriate." Wang Xin explained.

"What's wrong? I gave my body to my lord early before I got married. Could it be that my lord wants to go back on his word?" Wang Xin started to cry as she spoke.

This—crying made Wang Xin feel flustered from crying.

"Xin, Xin'er, you've overthought. Our wedding date has been fixed, so how can we go back on it?" Wang Xin sat by the bed and comforted her.

"My lord allowed me to stay tonight." Wang Xin said with tears.

"This, this won't work, your parents should worry about you when they are at home."

Wang Xin wiped away her tears and said, "My parents know."

Wang Xin - Hearing this, he was surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly. How could parents agree that their daughter would not go home until they were married.

"Your Excellency, do you really like me?" Seeing that the other party was distracted, Wang Xin took the other party's hand and asked.

Wang Xin - Hearing this, thinking of the skin-to-skin relationship that day, his face became hot and he said: "Of course I like it."

"These days, I've been worrying that your lord wants to marry me because of responsibility. I can't sleep because of this. If your lord really likes me, you can let me stay tonight, so that I can feel relieved."

Wang Xin refused when she heard the words, but couldn't open her mouth for a while. When she was contemplating, she saw Wang Xin sitting up with the quilt wrapped around her and throwing herself into her arms.

"If your lord doesn't really like me, I'd rather go to become a monk than marry you. Xin'er doesn't want to force your lord." Wang Xin cried again as she spoke.

Hearing Wang Xin's subdued crying, Wang Xin couldn't help but feel distressed, and slowly raised her hand to hug her and said, "Don't think about it, I, I like it, and I don't feel forced to marry you. "

Hearing the words, Wang Xin looked up at Wang Xin with the charming face of Lihua Dayu, and the four eyes met each other, and Wang Xin took the initiative to kiss the other party.

Wang Xin was kissed, and the aroma in her nose became stronger and stronger, her heart felt like it was going to melt at this moment, she hugged Wang Xin, and fell on the bed.

When she was young, Wang Xin's clothes were thrown under the bed one by one, and the two people under the quilt were tightly entangled.
