Jian Xiao held up a lantern and walked towards Luming Terrace, and Yueyue followed her. "Mother, why are you here? Didn't Your Majesty seal off this garden?"
Jian Xiao nodded, "Indeed! But children, this area is a restricted area, so they will always find fun."
Luming Terrace was locked, and Jian Xiao couldn't open the thick chains. The surrounding railings were just small enough for a child to get through.
Jian Xiao looked at Yueyue, "Can you open it?"
Yueyue looked at it and said, "This is so difficult!" She looked embarrassed, "Mother, I think we should go back. Your Majesty said that entering this place is against the imperial decree!"
Jian Xiao stood at the door and shouted twice, "Min Tong, Min Hua... come out!"
Several echoes came from inside, but there was no response.
What should we do? This is the only place I haven't looked for yet. The two children are most likely here.
Suddenly a hand reached over with a key in it, and opened the lock with a click.
Jian Xiao turned around to look, and Wei Zhu said with a dark face, "Aren't you going in? It's my business to resist orders and disobey, it's more important to save people."
"Thank you, General!" After saying that, Jian Xiao and Yueyue ran in.
The two of them looked for it little by little with the faint light. Even though it was spring, the grass and trees were beginning to revive. In addition, no one was cleaning the place, so the weeds were growing quite tall.
"Min Tong... Min Hua..." they shouted as they separated to look for
Jian Xiao walked to a low wall and faintly saw a dark shadow. Jian Xiao walked over and found that Min Tong and Min Hua were holding branches in their hands, cuddling each other and falling asleep. The two children's little hands were still holding tightly.
With
"Yueyue! General Wei, come here!" Jian Xiao shouted
She took off her clothes, put them on the child, and called softly, "Min Tong, Min Hua, get up and go home."
Min Tong opened her eyes slightly and saw Jian Xiao, "Your Majesty, where am I?"
"Lu Mingtai, did you and Min Hua get lost while playing here?"
Min Hua also woke up at this time. When he heard Jian Xiao complaining about Min Tong, he immediately opened his eyes and puffed up his mouth and said, "Don't talk about the emperor, I brought him here to play."
Jian Xiao looked at the two children and smiled, "I didn't say anything about you. It's cold when I take you back, and your mother is worried."
When it comes to going home, the two children seem to be even more anxious, shaking their heads like a plucked drum, "Not going back! Not going back! I have to recite poems and ride horses when I go back. If I go back, I can't go out to play again."
Seeing the two children like this, Jian Xiao sighed heavily. The originally innocent age was disturbed by the adults' struggle for power.
Jian Xiao knelt down and hugged the two children, "It's okay. If you don't want to recite poems anymore, just come to me and I'll talk to your mother and let you have time to play, okay?"
The child wiped away his tears with his little black hand, "Seriously?"
"Seriously!" Jian Xiao stretched out her little finger, "It's a deal!"
At this time, Wei Zhu and Yueyue also came over, "What should we do now?" Yueyue looked at the two dirty children.
"Take it back to Xiaoxiang Tower first, wash it well and bother General Wei to tell the two empresses that the child has been found, there is no need to worry anymore."
When Jian Xiao returned to Xiaoxiang Tower, Zhang Qin had already left her and was busy washing the two children before tidying up. She saw the Queen and Concubine Gong Xian coming in a menacing manner. After learning that the children were safe, the two women were enemies.
Standing on the same front
"Concubine Jian, if your child is gone, you don't need to hide our child?" Concubine Gong Xian was the first to attack.
"Concubine Xian, don't say that. After all, it was the concubine who found her," the queen said, "I just don't know why the two good princes are here with you?"
Jian Xiao didn't say anything. She just took out the two children. The children hid behind Jian Xiao and refused to move. They were so timid that they looked at their mother as if they were looking at two monsters.
"Min Tong, come here quickly. You're scared."
"Minhua Minhua, oh my, who changed these clothes for you, are they so ugly?"
Jian Xiao said calmly, "The two princes just went out to play together. It was late at night and they couldn't find their way back to the palace. If the two ladies were willing to let them play like this during the day, they wouldn't have to play secretly every night."
"
"You don't have to worry about how we educate our children!" Concubine Gong Xian shouted, picking up the child and leaving.
Min Hua was still holding Min Tong's hand, and she cried when she was dragged away so violently, "Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor!"
Concubine Gong Xian rolled her eyes at Min Tong, "If you don't stay at home well, then hang out with some unscrupulous people. See how I punish you today. Go back and copy "The Doctrine of the Mean"!"
The queen also took Mintong away, but politely thanked Jian Xiao to save her face. Jian Xiao didn't care. Maybe in their eyes, the child was just a bargaining chip.
In this battle for the crown prince, if I don't write a sentence, I'm afraid there will be countless ellipses. I should talk to Fu Huan secretly and urge Gao Tianduo to make a decision. This competition is bound to end, and the time is almost up.
Ever since Zhang Qin forced her to sleep with him that night, Jian Xiao had been staying in the imperial study every night, watching the memorials. Several times Tianjiao and Yueyue went to invite Jian Xiao, but she was always buried in a large memorial, helplessly spreading her hands.
Jian Xiao has already read those memorials, but there is no other way. Now she can only do this. She doesn't want to commit herself to Zhang Qin, and she doesn't know how to refuse. Work is the best excuse.
It was already the fourth watch. This was the quietest moment in the palace. Everyone was sleeping, but Zhang Qin couldn't sleep well. He and Tianjiao sneaked into the imperial study room quietly.
The oil lamp wick flickered, and Jian Xiao was immersed in the pile of memorials. The brush in her hand kept marking what was being said in her mouth. When she had time to take a sip of tea, she continued to review. Yueyue leaned on the table and dozed off.
When Tianjiao was about to speak, Zhang Qin raised his hand to stop him and looked at Jian Xiao for a moment. Zhang Qin turned around and left with Tianjiao.
"Your Majesty, you seem to have something on your mind," Tianjiao asked.
"It doesn't count. Jian Xiao seems to be preoccupied with government affairs recently and has no intention of dealing with me." Zhang Qin said, "Hey, I don't even have time to rest and sleep. Finally, I was free some time ago, and you were
It got mixed up, and now I’m even busier every day and every night!”
Tianjiao immediately understood Zhang Qin’s intention. He just wanted to sleep with Jian Xiao. How easy is that?
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xi once told Tianjiao that there is a folk prescription that allows women to only think about sleeping with men after taking it." Tianjiao said, "How about getting some?"
Zhang Qin thought for a moment, "Will it work?"
"As soon as you try this, you'll know it's on your little one." Tianjiao saw Zhang Qin's thoughts.
Zhang Qin nodded and walked back to Tonghuan Pavilion. Jian Xiao, it's not that I deliberately drugged you, it's just that your resistance made me want you so much. Even if your heart still remains on Tuo Jinglie and revenge, I
It's enough to get your body. Moreover, I need to control you more and keep you by my side.
