A few days later, the late emperor's filial piety period expired.
In the court hall.
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Xuzhou, and there is no grain harvest..."
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have repeatedly provoked, and mysterious disappearances of villagers near the border have emerged one after another..."
"Your Majesty, Anhe County is flooded and officials are inactive..."
...
Su Yuxi's head was buzzing after hearing this. After going to court, her brothers still had the conscience to stay with her to solve the problem.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother, I don't want to do it anymore. I really can't do it..." Su Yuxi made a bitter look on her face, tugged on her second brother's sleeve and shook it, squeamishly
Complaining.
"Seventh sister, my brother will take care of these things for you. You should stay in the palace first. Isn't there a consort in the palace?" Su Yuchen patted his seventh sister on the shoulder and comforted her.
Su Yuxi noticed a cold gaze falling on her. When she raised her head, she saw Shi Huaijin standing under the court hall. She instantly released her hold on her brother's sleeves and raised her voice to let Shi Huaijin go out.
Standing at the gate of the palace and watching my brothers gradually walk away, I suddenly felt a little more melancholy.
The second brother solemnly advised her that they should go to the front to defend the country and let her guard the home in the rear. If the northern country prospered, a few of them would return home.
It seemed that in an instant, the few people sitting around the table rushing to bring her food suddenly grew up...
[Master, why didn’t you stop them? If something happened, wouldn’t our mission be ruined?] Xiao Qi asked anxiously.
They were originally here to protect the brothers of the original owner, why are they letting loose...
"Protection is not control. They have their own pursuits." Su Yuxi sighed and murmured.
Moreover, she sent a group of secret guards trained by her original owner, her father, to protect them, so there shouldn't be any problems.
On the way back to Xihe Pavilion, the original owner's sadness spread in her heart.
In this huge palace, she was really the only one left from now on...
[Master, you still have Xiao Qi and the villain. 】
Su Yuxi:......
Xihe Pavilion.
"Qicha, go call the regent!" Su Yuxi looked at the pile of memorials on the desk, glanced at Xiao Liuzi who was supervising her next to her, and her eyebrows twitched fiercely.
In the past, she could still ask Qi'an to read to her and dictate some to Qicha, but now she sees so many of them that she can't let go!
"Princess, the regent is here."
"Invite him in."
Su Yuxi stared at the man's handsome, dignified and radiant appearance. She was almost driven crazy. Her heart suddenly became unbalanced and she ordered:
"Shi Huaijin, come here!"
The man glanced at her and walked over according to words, but Su Yuxi pulled him to sit next to her, and a brush appeared in his hand instantly.
"Approved these memorials." She moved to the side.
Shi Huaijin raised her eyebrows: "Princess, what do you mean?"
Su Yuxi glanced at the memorial on the table, took out the jade seal from the drawer, and said impatiently: "You can't refuse now, what do you care about me?"
Throwing the jade seal to him, he patted his shoulder and said, "Approval."
Shi Huaijin glanced at the jade seal in his hand, his eyes darkened, and without saying anything, he picked up the pen and began to review the memorial.
Su Yuxi just sat aside, drinking tea and staring at it, occasionally grinding it for him.
From dusk to late night.
Xiao Qi saw from the three-dimensional space that his master was dozing off with his head down carelessly, while the villain was criticizing the memorial.
Hey! He is the villain who wants to destroy the Northern Kingdom!
[Master! Don’t sleep! Get up and attack the villain!] Xiao Qi yelled.
Su Yuxi woke up suddenly, blinked, and regained consciousness for a while.
He propped his head up and glanced at the man who was reviewing the memorial. His narrow eyes were blinking, and his dark blue pupils were faintly emitting a layer of faint light. The moonlight shone lightly on his face, and outlined it in a deep or shallow way.
Showing his perfect silhouette, he is extremely charming.
After training Xiao Qi for a while, she lost her sleepiness and suddenly asked:
"Shi Huaijin, how did you come to the North Country in the first place?"
The man paused with his pen, his eyes suddenly became a bit colder, and he could hardly contain his powerful dark aura.
After a while, he calmly uttered two words: "Begging."
Su Yuxi realized that she had touched upon his bad memories and apologized sarcastically.
Seeing that he continued to approve the memorial as if nothing had happened, she moved closer to him, opened her mouth, suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice:
"Shi Huaijin, if you feel that you have no goal to support your survival, then, can it be me?"
I heard from the secret guard that this man has not eaten or drank recently, and he always stands by the Yushi Lake in the Imperial Garden for a whole day. Isn't this looking for death?
Most of the descendants of the kings who lost their country are noble and noble, and many of them died to clarify their aspirations.
The man chuckled softly: "Have you ever fallen in love with a princess?"
Su Yuxi pursed her lips and said unhappily in the blink of an eye, "I asked first."
Besides, what’s the use of my falling in love with you? You have to fall in love with me...
Shi Huaijin said nothing, took the jade seal and put a red seal on the memorial, put the brush on the inkstone, stood up, and said softly: "The memorial has been approved, the princess can go and have a rest."
Snapped!
Su Yuxi grabbed the man's hand, glanced at the neat memorials on the table, and spoke faster than her brain:
"You can live with me from now on. The people in Xihe Pavilion will not neglect you."
Shi Huaijin lowered his eyes and stared at the woman's delicate porcelain face, and his voice was a little deeper, mixed with sarcasm:
"I killed Emperor Mingguang. Does the princess still want to continue our relationship with me?"
Su Yuxi frowned slightly, moved her pink lips, and said, "It's not your fault."
The man shook off her hand and snorted coldly: "That's not what the princess said when she took me to prison."
"Shi Huaijin! Why are you so vindictive! What did I say when you killed your concubine and blamed me?" She suddenly raised her voice and asked with her hands on her hips.
She also spent several days in jail!
Shi Huaijin's hands behind her back were clenched tightly, and the raised veins were coiled around the back of her hands, which was shockingly tight.
For a time, the atmosphere between the two was extremely strong.
Shi Huaijin's evil spirit was on the verge of bursting out, his sanity was about to be swallowed up by the endless gloom, and his dark blue eyes were a little red.
He stabilized his body, took out a knife from his cuff with the hand behind his back, held the blade in his left hand, and inserted it into his palm inch by inch. The blade saw blood and stained his hanging sleeves red.
The bright red color formed a line drop by drop and formed a puddle at his feet.
"Princess, do you think they were all killed by me?" Even if the evidence is in front of you...
"Hey! Shi Huaijin!"
The man's body suddenly swayed back. Su Yuxi watched helplessly as he fell in front of her and shouted in panic.
Bang!
The knife in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Princess!" Qi'an rushed in.
The princess was seen kneeling on the ground, grabbing the man's body and pressing it on his bleeding wound.
"Get the medicine box! Call the doctor!" she yelled.
