Married Thrice to Salted Fish - Chapter 94

Xi Rong secretly met with Xixia’s ambassadors in the mansion. Xi Mansion was heavily guarded. However, it was others who were on guard, not the emperor, and it was not his brother who had guarded and spoiled him for a lifetime.

He knew that Xiao Jie had heard everything.

Having been with him for many years, the other person is like another self. Every expression and every movement of Xiao Jie is very familiar to him, but he has never seen Xiao Jie show such an expression when he is with him-panic, consternation, trembling Shaking, disappointed and scared.

There was a sting in Xi Rong’s heart, but his voice was soft: “The emperor.”

Xiao Jie stood there blankly, as if watching a brutal and vicious stranger.

Xi Rong called again: “Ayan.”

Xiao Jie woke up like a dream, and his eyes suddenly turned red: “Ah, A Rong, you…you betrayed, betrayed…”

Before the word “guo” was spoken, Xi Rong interrupted Xiao Jie: “A Jie, you misunderstood me.”

“I heard it all! I heard it all!” Xiao Jie’s tears burst into her eyes, “That person wants to do business with you, and he wants you to take care of the general, you agree!”

Xi Rong took two steps forward, trying to hold Xiao Jie into his arms, comforting him as if he was a child. Xiao Jie has a soft personality, without the care of his biological mother and aunt, and he does not like the first emperor. Since childhood, he has suffered a lot of grievances in the sinister palace. It is the duty of the elder brother to make the brother happy. He comforted how many times Xiao Jie cried. But this time, Xiao Jie didn’t jump into his arms as usual, but like a frightened kitten, he was so frightened that he backed away again and again: “You, don’t come over…”

Xi Rong calmed down and said, “Ajun, I told you that Lin Qingyu and Gu Fuzhou will not tolerate me being by your side to assist you. When Gu Fuzhou returns to Beijing, Lin Qingyu will act on me. Do you understand?”

Xiao Jie choked and said, “Then you can’t collude with the enemy and betray the country! I’m a little stupid, but I’m also a descendant of the Xiao family. General Gu is fighting for Dayu, you can’t kill him at this time-I, I’m going to tell Queen Mother and Doctor Lin!”

Xi Rong scolded: “Stop.”

Xiao Jie hadn’t been so fierce by Xi Rong. He was both wronged and angry, crying so pear blossoms and rain, so pitiful.

Xi Rong said rationally, “Xixia Laiji found me and wanted to use Gu Fuzhou’s life to stop the two countries. I don’t agree what can be done, let the messenger go back and tell the Xixia Army Master that he died early, or kill him directly? No matter what? Doing it will only make Xixia strengthen his guard against Dayu.”

Xiao Jie couldn’t turn his mind, but he understood a little bit: Xi Rong didn’t really agree to Xixia. “what do you mean……”

Xi Rong’s face turned slightly sullen, and said, “Ajun, think about it, I have agreed to Xixia’s ‘reconciliation’ now, will they feel that the victory is in their hands, and thus take the battle of Yongliang lightly?”

“Then you pretended to agree-you lied to them?”

Seeing that Xiao Jie’s eyes were almost the same as usual, Xi Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: “Do you remember the story of Huang Gai’s surrender that I told you when I was a child? He can surrender, and we can swindle. Don’t worry, I won’t make peace. I will let myself, and will not let you be accused of treason.”

“It turned out to be like this!” Xiao Jie was coaxed by Xi Rong in a few words, and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “You said it earlier, I misunderstood you.”

Xi Rong grabbed Xiao Jun’s hand and wiped his tears with his sleeves: “Just let the misunderstanding go. Okay, don’t stand, just come in.”

The two entered the study, Xi Rong ordered someone to fetch water to cleanse the emperor’s face. Xi Rong asked Xiao Jie how to leave the palace suddenly, and Xiao Jie told him about his conversation with Lin Qingyu.

“A Rong, do we have to fight with Madam Lin and the others?” Xiao Jie asked innocently, “I don’t want to hurt them. I think it’s fine now. Just keep going like this.”

Xi Rong touched Xiao Jun’s head and said, “These, wait until Gu Fuzhou wins Xixia.”

“Okay.” Xiao Jie looked at the unfinished handwriting on the table and curiously asked, “What is this.”

Xi Rong did not hide it from him: “Gu Fuzhou has been consuming Xixia’s grain and grass in the northwest for more than a month, and the two sides have been consuming them in pairs. So Xixia wants to know Dayu’s grain transportation route.”

Xiao Jie asked: “Are they going to grab our food and grass?”

Xi Rong nodded: “It should be.”

“Oh!” Xiao Jie was suddenly excited, “Then can we tell them a wrong route, and then lay an ambush there in advance to kill them by surprise!”

Xi Rong was a little surprised, and smiled: “Ajun has become smarter.”

Xiao Jie chuckled and said, “Only you in this world can praise me for being smart. We have been together for so long, and I should have learned a little too.”

Xi Rong opened the map from Guizhou to Yongliang: “Ajun thought, where is the best place to lay the ambush?”

Xiao Jie thought seriously for a long time, pointing to one of them and said, “Here, the farthest from the real grain road is the small intestine path between the canyons. Once the enemy comes in, they can’t retreat!”

Xi Rong hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “Just do what Ajun said.”

Xiao Jie finally made a contribution to Da Yu, and felt happy. “By the way, I think we should tell the empress and doctor Lin about this. They are also very concerned about the situation in the Northwest.”

“No.” Xi Rong put a smile away, “They don’t need to know.”

Xiao Jie hesitated and said, “But…”

Xi Rong looked serious: “Ajun, you have to remember that Lin Qingyu wants my life, and it is not a good thing to let him know too much. Anything may be his knife to take my life.”

Xiao Jie was ignorant of hearing. Although Xi Rong always said that Lin Qingyu was going to kill them, he always felt that Lin Qingyu would not. Lin Qingyu looks as good as an immortal, is she really that vicious in her heart?

Although Xiao Jie and Xi Rong reconciled in the end, she was really frightened in the process. Xi Rong was afraid that he would have lingering fears, so he deliberately searched for a famous opera troupe in Beijing to enter the palace. Xiao Jie loves to watch theaters, and when his interest comes, he sits in front of the stage for a whole day.

The stage of the palace is set in the Peony Garden. Peony Garden is not far from Ci’an Palace. It was originally a convenient place for the queen mother to listen to dramas, but now it has become a place that disturbs the peace of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother was discussing with Lin Qingyu about taxation in the south of the Yangtze River. The tune of Wanwanqu came from far away. The Queen Mother was unhappy and asked, “Who is listening to the opera in Peony Garden?”

Lin Qingyu said: “There is no one in the Queen’s harem, and the toffee lives in Jinyang Garden. Who else do you think is there.”

The empress dowager’s eyebrows gathered together, and slowly said, “The emperor is a leisurely person.”

“This is a good thing.” Lin Qingyu said calmly, “For a person like the emperor, it is best not to do anything, at least not to cause confusion to others.”

“Nevertheless, the Northwest is still at war. Even if the emperor doesn’t ask about the government, he should at least behave so that he won’t let the superintendent be beaked.” After the queen mother thought about it, she still asked to invite Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie didn’t let the Queen Mother wait too much, and rushed over almost immediately. After being beaten by the Queen Mother, Xiao Jie later realized what he had done. He ignored Lin Qingyu’s presence and said, “I know that I was wrong, I didn’t think so much… I’m sorry, empress, I will never listen to drama again.”

The emperor confessed his mistake and recognized the true feelings, but made the queen mother dumbfounded: “It’s not that the emperor can’t listen to the drama, it depends on the time. When Dayu calms the Northwest chaos, the Aijia wants to listen to the drama.”

Xiao Jie nodded: “I see, I thank the empress for her teachings. When the world is peaceful, I invite the empress and the sixth brother to listen to the drama together.”

Xiao Jie’s appearance was younger than his actual age, and he nodded very cleverly. Although the Queen Mother was negligent to this concubine in the past, she didn’t have any malice. It just happened to be the time for dinner, and the queen mother asked Xiao Jie to stay for dinner. “Qingyu, you too.”

Lin Qingyu said, “Weichen used dinner at Ci’an Palace yesterday.”

The queen mother smiled and said: “You can always eat more with Li’er.”

During the dinner, Xiao Jie always had an expression that hesitated but stopped. The queen mother asked him if he had something to say, and he decisively said no. After dinner, Xiao Jie returned to Qinzheng Hall.

The queen mother couldn’t help saying: “The emperor is not hopeless. If he is not a monarch, he can be considered a pure-hearted child.”

Lin Qingyu let out an “um”.

“If the emperor is able to leave Xirong, no matter how much guidance he is, he won’t be at least not at the mercy of others, not to mention being a king.”

Lin Qingyu chuckled, “Unfortunately, he can’t live without it.”

“You are more confident about what you said.” The Queen Mother said, “Brothers of the same father and the same mother will turn against each other for their own interests, let alone them. The Ai family has been in the palace for so many years, and they have seen everything. The emperor was young. If you don’t want to be pampered, you will be so dependent on Xirong. If you find him a dignified, elegant, understanding queen, and let his feelings be trusted, maybe you won’t value Xirong so much.” It’s a way, “The emperor has already reached his age, and now the first emperor’s filial piety period has passed. It is a good time to establish a concubine for him.”

The queen mother thought that Lin Qingyu would approve of her, but Lin Qingyu didn’t react much. The queen mother couldn’t help asking: “Qingyu, what do you think.”

Lin Qingyu said: “The Queen Mother forgives her sins, but Weichen has no interest in using marriage to imprison others.”

The queen mother was taken aback for a moment, and her face became colder. “Never mind.” She said with no interest. “Let’s look at it again.”

It was night, Xi Rong personally served Xiao Jun to bed. Before going to bed, both of them would say something self-conscious, which is a habit in their childhood. Xi Rong asked which plays Xiao Jie watched today, Xiao Jie looked disappointed and said, “I don’t want to watch a play in the palace anymore.”

Xi Rong asked: “Why?”

Xiao Juxu told Xi Rong what happened today: “The queen is right. The soldiers in the northwest are fighting **** battles. I can’t help it, so let’s just enjoy it in the palace.”

What Xi Rong cares about is not this: “Are you having dinner with the Queen Mother, Lin Qingyu?”

“There are six younger brothers.” Xiao Jie said as much as he thought. “The sixth younger brother is still the same. He doesn’t respond to anything. He will only smile at Doctor Lin alone…”

Xi Rong interrupted him: “Did you talk to them about ambushing in the grain road?”

Xiao Jie was stunned, with a guilty expression in his eyes: “No.”

Any changes on Xiao Jie’s face can’t hide from Xi Rong’s eyes: “Do you still want to tell them?”

“I… after all, I didn’t say anything in the end. Are you satisfied.” Xiao Jie covered his head with the quilt and muttered, “I’m going to sleep, you just step back.”

Xi Rong half-squinted his eyes: “The minion retires.”

When Xi Rong called himself a “minion”, Xiao Jie knew he was angry. But he really didn’t know what to do. Why did Xi Rong and Lin Qingyu have to fight to the death and the life? When he didn’t ascend the throne, the two of them were fine.

Xiao Jie went to sleep full of thoughts. I don’t know how long he was awakened by the sound of “the emperor”, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the eunuch, Xiao Xuanzi, who was serving him personally.

There was a rush of footsteps outside, and Xiao Jie immediately lost sleep and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Xuanzi said in a panic: “The emperor, an assassin entered the palace, father-in-law Xi, he…”

Xiao Jie grabbed Xiao Xuanzi’s shoulder, “What’s wrong with him?”

“Father-in-law Xi was seriously injured and left a lot of blood… and he is now in the palace…”

Xiao Jie crawled down the bed and ran all the way to the side hall with bare feet. The guards have been dispatched, and the palace is completely enclosed. Xi Rong had been carried onto the bed, with a shocking knife wound on his left abdomen, and blood was constantly pouring out of the wound. Because after the blood loss, Xi Rong’s face was no longer bloody, it was a fiasco, but he was still sober.

Xiao Jie cried as soon as he saw him: “Where is the imperial doctor? Call the imperial doctor!”

Xiao Xuanzi said: “Someone has been sent to call, the imperial doctor should still be on the way.”

Xi Rong grabbed Xiao Jun’s hand, his breath was weak: “The emperor, the slave is okay, don’t worry.”

“Why…” Xiao Jun hugged Xirong, on the verge of collapse, “How can there be an assassin in the palace, how can anyone want to harm you!”

Xi Rong gave a weird smile: “Assassins who can be so unscrupulous in the palace, who else is there besides them.”

Xiao Jie cried out of breath: “Yes, who is it?”

Xi Rong let out a painful groan. Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly said, “Father Xi said it should be from Tianjiying.”

Xiao Jie shed tears blankly: “Why?”

Xiao Xuanzi said: “The minion remembers that the token of Tianjiying is in the hands of Taiyi Lin.”

“…Doctor Lin?”

Xi Rong closed his eyes, and suddenly exerted force in his hands: “So, do you still have to get close to Lin Qingyu and tell him everything?”

Xiao Jie cried and shook his head: “I don’t want to, I won’t tell the queen mother and Lin Qingyu, I won’t say anything, I just want you to be well…A Rong, don’t die, I don’t allow you to die!”

Xi Rong’s injury looked scary, but it didn’t hurt to the point, and his life was worry-free. However, he had to recuperate for some time due to the loss of blood and multiple qi.

The emperor’s palace has an assassin, which is a top priority. Wu Zhan did not dare to neglect, and led the Imperial Guard to search the palace for one night, but he couldn’t find any clues. Lin Qingyu heard about this, and when he asked Wu Zhan and the imperial physician who treated Xi Rong that night, they understood everything.

“Don’t bother about this anymore,” Lin Qingyu said, “Assassins, you can’t catch them.”

Wu Zhan said: “Huh? Why.”

“The assassin has the ability to come and go without a trace in the palace, but how can he not even kill a eunuch. This kind of trick with many loopholes can only deceive the emperor who cares but is chaotic.”

Wu Zhan still didn’t quite understand: “The doctor Lin meant…”

Lin Qingyu said: “Xi Rong just wants to grab the emperor’s heart and let the emperor always stand by his side.”

Wu Zhan hissed: “It turns out that this is a bitter trick. It’s really ruthless, I can actually attack myself.”

Lin Qingyu smiled suddenly: “Indeed.”

Xi Rong’s move reminded him of Gu Fuzhou. Back then, in order to return to the capital from the northwest and to be able to return to him, Gu Fuzhou did not hesitate the poison of the spider. At this point, Gu Fuzhou is also a ruthless person.

So this time, he will definitely come back desperately.
