Chapter 43
That night, the streets and alleys of Kyoto were brightly lit all night. The guards searched the city, but they couldn't find the group of assassins. They searched several suspicious places, but they returned without success. They didn't go back to report dejectedly until the light of day.

Naturally, such a big commotion could not be concealed from the ministers. They had dressed up and gathered around the gate of the palace early in the morning, waiting for His Highness the Eighth Prince to summon him.

At this moment, His Highness the Eighth Prince has not got up yet.

The Xianrong Palace was quiet, the eaves were dyed with a faint golden light, and the bells on the porch swayed gently in the wind, making a clear and pleasant sound.

The sparrows flew by in pairs, chirping and landed in the nest under the eaves. One of them lost his footing, and his buttocks fell outside, dropped some bird feces, and landed straight on Zhou Xi's boots passing by.

With a sound of "paji", Zhou Xi lowered his head in doubt, and then his face turned green, "Ah—hmm!"

He wanted to scream, but Wenfeng and Fuyue who were guarding the door covered his mouth.

"Eunuch! Your Highness and the prince haven't gotten up yet!"

Fu Yue said in a low voice, Zhou Xi opened his eyes wide and reacted for a while, then blinked slowly.

Only then did Wenfeng and Fuyue let go.

Zhou Xi panted heavily, and said with a bitter face: "When Your Highness and Shizi wake up, send someone to tell me, I'll go change my shoes, it's really bad luck this early in the morning!"

He walked away cursing, Wenfeng and Fuyue looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled, how lucky is it to catch up so coincidentally?
Fu Yue smiled and said: "It seems that today is not suitable for traveling."

Wenfeng turned her head and looked inside the hall, but with the door closed, she couldn't see anything, so she moved closer, wanting to hear the movement.

The candles in the hall burned all night, and the white wax oil condensed into lumps on the lamp holders. The faint flames swayed gently in the breeze, and were projected on the bed curtains.

Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his face turned slightly pale, and he dreamed of those gloomy past again, it's so frustrating!

She sighed silently, and stretched out her hand to pinch the center of her brow, but she couldn't lift her arm heavily.

She frowned, and turned her head to look, and saw that her right arm was tightly hugged by Jun Rong. Looking at that posture, she looked like a drowning person grasping the last straw.

Jun Rong's small body was curled up, with half of her face buried in the brocade quilt, her head resting on her shoulder, like a newborn animal who felt insecure.

The hair probably fluttered around that night, fluttering on his face and body in a mess.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu really felt pitiful and funny.

She stretched out her left hand to touch Junrong's forehead, compared it with her own, and murmured: "Fortunately, the fever has subsided, it seems that I should die, you, your luck is still to come."

Xiao Yu talked to himself for a moment, then stretched out his hand and poked Jun Rong's small face, it's so soft, although it doesn't have much flesh, but it's really fun~
Jun Rong was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she was poked, and she opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was Xiao Yu's fingers, ah...the culprit is here.

Seeing him open his eyes, Xiao Yu didn't feel any guilt at all, and calmly withdrew his hand, "Cough, it's time for His Highness to get up and drink medicine, and there are still a lot of things to do afterwards."

Jun Rong rubbed in a daze, "Can you do it later?"

Xiao Yu shook his head coldly: "No, everyone probably knows what happened last night. The ministers' hearts are fluctuating. You must come forward today, and there will be time to rest later."

Jun Rong pursed his lips, and finally came to his senses. He looked down and found that he was holding Xiao Yu's arm, and his face turned red visible to the naked eye.

He let go of his hand in a panic, "Ah... I didn't mean it, yes, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yu withdrew his hand calmly, "It's okay."

She rolled over and sat up, feeling that half of her body was numb.

She sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes. Jun Rong looked at her back and sat up. Her body was still sore and weak, but her head was not so dizzy and the pain was gone. Doctor Zhang's medicine really worked!It's just hard to drink...

Thinking of the smell last night, he couldn't help licking his lips.

Xiao Yu got up and walked outside, Jun Rong remembered that she came here in her underwear last night, her heart warmed, she didn't think about those complicated things, Xiao Yu is a pretty good person.

Silently cheering himself up, Jun Rong got up and put on his clothes, and when he turned around, Xiao Yu was leaning against the door and looking at him leisurely, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Junrong: "?"

He looked himself up and down, the buttons were buttoned correctly, what's wrong?
Xiao Yu pointed to the bronze mirror on one side.

Jun Rong didn't understand, so he walked over, looked down, the person in the mirror probably went to sneak into a hole last night, his hair was messed up like a straw pile.

Junrong: "..."

No wonder Xiao Yu has that look in his eyes, why is he always so embarrassing?

Xiao Yu ignored his messy thoughts, went to the door and pushed it open, Wenfeng and Fuyue were shocked immediately: "My lord!"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Go in and serve me, and fetch two pots of hot water."

"Yes."

The two of them went in to get the copper basin, went out to fetch hot water, and when they came back, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong washed their faces, Wen Feng and Fu Yue helped them put their hair up in a bun, Xiao Yu wore a jade crown, and Jun Rong put on a gold crown .

"The servant has seen the prince, seen the highness—"

Zhou Xi changed into new boots and walked much more briskly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting at the gate of the palace, next—"

Xiao Yu took a sip of the hot porridge, swallowed it slowly, and said, "Go and invite the adults to wait in the Mingguang Palace. Your Highness will come after breakfast."

"Yes, the slave is going to pass the message."

Xiao Yu and Jun Rong simply had breakfast and left the Xianrong Palace, followed by Zhaocaijinbao and Fenghuaxueyue.

Jun Rong was a little nervous, he was about to face all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he basically didn't know them, what would they do if he couldn't remember his name?
Then think about it, what should I do if I don’t understand what they are saying?
When the time comes, I will face the eyes of everyone, and I will be speechless... just thinking about it makes me suffocate.

Xiao Yu noticed his uneasiness, and turned her head to comfort him softly: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, how did I teach you before? Do you remember?"

Jun Rong nodded: "Don't show joy, anger, sorrow and joy directly on your face. If you don't know what to say, just keep silent and keep a straight face."

"Well, I will help His Highness when the time comes."

Hearing what she said, Jun Rong felt a little relieved, and kept hinting to himself: sooner or later, he will learn to be independent, he is the emperor, the emperor, the emperor!
After repeating it several times, he looked at the solemn and solemn Mingguang Palace in the morning light, and suddenly felt a bit of courage. What are you afraid of, you will have to face it sooner or later, it's no big deal!
Jun Rong clenched her fists tightly, straightened her waist, and walked into the Mingguang Hall with steady steps.

Xiao Yu followed one step behind, and the courtiers lined up on both sides, only looking towards the direction of the door, but did not kneel down to salute, and silently looked at the two of them.

Junrong's palms were sweating thinly, and he raised his voice, "Why don't you be polite?"

 Xiao Junrong is really afraid of himself...

  Thank you for your votes and rewards, love!Duck!Asking for punch card and ticket ing...
