Chapter 19 The Pigeon Returns

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Wu'an Mansion.

Before the Nuan Ge desk, Xiao Jinxi finished writing the last word and finished the pen, then rolled up the small paper, took the pigeon from Luoer's hand, and tied the paper roll to the pigeon's leg.

Fang handed the pigeon back to Luo Er and said, "Luo Er, let the pigeon fly."

"Okay!" Luo Er turned and went to the window to release the pigeons.

"All right, miss."

"Miss, let me serve you a bowl of red bean soup. The red bean soup made by Mammy today is delicious. It's soft and the stove is always warm."

"Nurse said, Miss woke up this morning with a pale complexion, and specially cooked red bean soup, and Miss will turn rosy after drinking it."

Xiao Jinxi looked at the chattering Luoer, smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, then I'll drink some."

Looking at the young lady who was drinking red bean soup, Luo Er frowned and said, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night? Otherwise, Luo Er will give you another soothing incense at night, okay?"

Looking at Luo Er's worried eyes, Xiao Jinxi couldn't bear to say: "It's okay, I just slept a little late, and it will be fine if I sleep again at noon, it's okay."

Then he changed the subject and continued: "Luoer, you must be careful when you go out with Wei Mo to do business, you know?"

"Now how many people outside are staring at our Hou's mansion, they will naturally want to use you to threaten me, Miss, so, you must always follow Wei Mo's side, don't leave alone, you know?"

Luo Er heard this, nodded her head desperately, and said, "Mmm, I see, miss."

"Miss, drink it quickly, the red bean soup will be effective if you drink it hot."

"Got it." Xiao Jinxi said with a smile before continuing to eat.

After finishing the red bean soup, Xiao Jinxi raised her head again and said, "Luoer, I will write a letter to Xiaogu and tell her how to cooperate with you."

"Luoer, cultivating them will be a great help to us in the future, so, when you are outside, don't keep getting into trouble with Wei Mo, and get things done properly."

Xiaogu is ten years old this year. She is a clever girl. Years ago, she and Luoer met a little beggar and pickpocket when they went out. .

And since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with Xiaogu.I wanted to take Xiaogu in, but Xiaogu refused, saying that she has many friends, some of whom are younger than her, and she wants to make money outside, and she likes the freedom outside.

Therefore, every month, Luo Er can only give some money to Xiao Gu, so that she can take care of her little friends, and she has been repeatedly told to find some time to go to school every day.

Xiaogu is very smart, knowing that only by learning can he make more money. Therefore, the current Xiaogu is a little beggar who can write and learn.

"Okay, okay, Luoer understands. Miss, may I get you another bowl?" Seeing the empty bowl, Luoer said again.

Xiao Jinxi got up and said, "No, let's drink in the evening. I want to read a book." Then he walked to Lihuata beside him.

"Well, alright." Luo Er glanced at his young lady, then picked up the bowl, and left in a embarrassed manner.

Xiao Jinxi picked up the book for a while but didn't read it, and turned to look at the chessboard aside.Unknowingly clenched the book in both hands, the whole body was cold... Last night I dreamed about Chen'er again, dreaming about all kinds of past lives.Chen'er, where are you?Queen Mother misses you so much!
It turns out that the pain can also be adapted. When the wound is opened again and again bloody, the kind of piercing pain will only hurt in the heart, not the face.

The Imperial Study Room of the Apocalypse Palace.

"Your Majesty, the pigeon is back." Eunuch Li happily walked in from outside the hall with a birdcage in his hand, and said with a bow.

Emperor Ming Xi, who was lowering his head to review the memorial, immediately raised his head and said, "Bring it here."

Emperor Ming Xi took the pigeon, quickly took off the letterhead, and looked at: Your Majesty, I am fine, you don't need to worry.Father is keeping an eye on it, we will discuss about the conferring ceremony when we have a chance.

Looking at the beautiful words on the letter paper, Emperor Ming Xi frowned, with deep disappointment in his eyes... After waiting for so many days, just saying this, Xiao Jinxi, didn't you have many ways in the past?
Last night when Black Eagle came back, he didn't get any news. He also said that he might have been discovered, and Jinxiu Pavilion was also heavily guarded.

Emperor Ming Xi suddenly remembered what Zhao Yukun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: Your Majesty, after returning to the mansion that day, Miss Xiao hardly left the boudoir. I heard that she was tired and wanted to rest. When she went out, she sent a personal maid to watch her.

Miss Xiao has had a deep relationship with the emperor since she was a childhood sweetheart, and she definitely wants to marry the emperor as soon as possible.

Marquis Wu'an has always been stationed in the northern border, and the northern border cannot be separated from Marquis Wu'an. Now that Marquis Wu'an has been away for a long time, it is time to go back.

Sensing the change in Emperor Ming Xi's aura, Eunuch Li bowed his head and remained silent. It seems that Miss Xiao's letter did not bring good news.

"Where's Duan Lei?" Emperor Mingxi asked after a long time.

Hearing this, Li Yue quickly bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, I heard that all the people who were dispatched to investigate have returned. Commander Duan just went to find out the situation."

Emperor Ming Xi said again: "Duan Lei is back, let him come to see me."

Li Yue replied: "Yes, the slave will go and explain it now." He quickly bowed and retreated, the emperor has been in a bad temper these days.

After a long time, Li Yue came in from outside the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang and Commander Duan are all outside to see you."

Emperor Ming Xi, who had been in deep thought, came back to his senses and said, "Xuan."

I saw Duan Lei and Jiang Peiyuan bowed to Emperor Ming Xi and said: "See the emperor."

"Get up. Pei Yuan is here, what's the matter?" Emperor Ming Xi asked.

Jiang Peiyuan bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, just now, the central government has received urgent memorials from several magistrates near the imperial capital, saying that this morning, rumors of the imperial capital have begun to appear in the neighboring state capitals, and the local prefects are afraid of continuing to let it go. Not good, ask for instructions one by one."

Emperor Ming Xi, who was sitting upright behind the dragon case, narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, with a chill in his eyes, and after a while, he asked again: "Duan Lei, how is your investigation outside?"

When Duan Lei heard the words, he bowed one by one and replied: "Your Majesty, the rumors in the imperial capital today have not decreased, on the contrary, they have intensified."

"As for Miss Xiao, there are many sayings. It is said that Miss Xiao has been poor since she was a child. Her biological mother had dystocia when she was born, and she died when she was seven years old. Now, she can't stand the honor of the empress. "

Jiang Peiyuan looked up at Emperor Ming Xi, bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wu'an has not let go. Please think of a way to make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid the people's hearts will not be stable."

Emperor Ming Xi's face became colder and colder, and the imperial study room fell into a strange silence.
