Morbid pet

What the mother-in-law said makes sense. Brother Wan Ning will definitely come back! -
Xie Zhao carried the dishes and walked out, and happened to see Chang Le walking in holding his daughter's hand. The two children's faces were flushed, and they had obviously just woken up. When Xie Zhao saw his daughter, he immediately smiled lovingly, "Why is Yu'er like this?" Come here? You are still sick."

Li Yu sweetly called out, "Father~" and then stretched out her arms to be hugged by Xie Zhao coquettishly.

Xie Zhao handed the prepared dishes to the palace maid, then smiled and kissed Li Yu on the cheek, picked up Li Yu and walked to the inner room.

The two children have been staying together and their relationship is very good. Changle is also more and more pleased, feeling that he is really successful as a mother.

Xie Zhao was playing with the child. Li Yu's favorite thing was to ride on Xie Zhao's shoulders and let Xie Zhao take him to the garden. Xie Zhao walked around with the child but was worried that she would catch a cold, so he put him in the house. inside, and then took Changle back to the kitchen.

Changle didn't know what this hobby was. Anyway, she didn't get this kind of special treatment when she was a child, so she couldn't bear to think about it.

After Chang Le distributed food to the two children, she returned to the kitchen to help Xie Zhao. She watched Xie Zhao busy in front of the stove, and then said: "A Zhao, I have something to tell you."

Xie Zhao paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Le, "What's the matter?"

"Yes..." Chang Le pursed his lips and hesitated to speak.

After a long while, Chang Le gritted his teeth and said, "Ban Ning wants to marry Yu'er!"

Xie Zhao stopped cutting vegetables and looked at Chang Le, "What do you mean?"

God knows what it means.

Chang Le just looked up to the sky and roared, and then said indifferently: "Literal meaning, please understand it again."

Xie Zhao slowly put down the knife and vegetables in his hands, washed his hands, turned his head and asked the people in the imperial kitchen to help him finish the last dish, and then walked towards the restaurant with Chang Le in his arms.

Speechless along the way.

Xie Zhaoxian carried Chang Le to a chair and sat down. He stood next to the table, took out a brocade box from the drawer, and opened it.

There was a round, crystal clear luminous pearl lying inside.

There were many gems inlaid around the luminous pearl, and one of the red gems was particularly beautiful. Xie Zhao held the gem, turned it slowly, and then put the bead chain around Li Yu's neck.

Li Yu stared at the beautiful luminous pearl with wide eyes, and then froze. She reached out and touched it, and said softly: "Father, why did you give me this thing?"

Changle smiled softly at the side, "Of course it's a gift for you."

The corners of Li Yu's mouth raised slightly, "This night pearl is so beautiful."

Changle nodded, then pinched the tip of Li Yu's nose, "You are my and your father's only child. We hope you will always be this happy."

Li Yu's tears flowed down. She sniffed and cried softly: "Wow - ow wow -"

She didn't want to leave her father and mother, but she also couldn't bear to win over her brother Ning.

Xie Zhao saw his daughter crying and quickly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, Yuer, don't cry. This bead is very beautiful, right? From now on, you will wear it and take it off every night before going to bed. Look." Over time, it will become as beautiful as this luminous pearl."

Li Yu wiped away her tears with her sleeves, then nodded, "Yeah!"

"Father, is this bead really given to me?"

"Of course, this is my father's darling." Xie Zhao smiled and rubbed her head, "In the future, our Yu'er will also become the happiest princess in the world. No one dares to bully you. If he bullies you, tell Father and he will deal with him for you."

Li Yu laughed through tears and nodded heavily, "Yeah!"

She wasn't afraid at all.

Changle was relieved when he saw his daughter finally breaking down into laughter. Then he turned his attention to Xie Zhao and said, "Zhao, let's go for a walk today. I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?" Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Changle winked at her mysteriously, "You'll know if you follow me!"

Xie Zhao's original gloomy mood was relieved a lot when she made such a fuss. She raised her lips and smiled lightly, "Okay!"
-
After dinner, Xie Zhao followed Chang Le to a peach forest.

The peach trees have lost all their leaves, but the peach branches are still green and swaying in the wind.

"It's so beautiful here." Xie Zhao praised.

Chang Le took Xie Zhao's arm and said, "I'll take you to a better place."

Xie Zhao was pulled forward by Chang Le. She suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Taolin behind her.

"What's wrong?" Changle followed her gaze and found nothing.

Xie Zhao shook his head and continued to walk forward.

She wasn't afraid or confused, she just thought it was too strange here. It was obviously winter, but the peach trees here were more lush than the other, and she could vaguely smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

"Hey, concubine, there is a peach blossom blooming here. It's so beautiful." Li Yu's eyes were shining. She stood on tiptoes and stretched out her fingers to poke the tender peach petals.

Chang Le stretched out his hand and patted Li Yu's little head, "You, you just know how to play, be careful not to fall."

"It doesn't matter, Father is here." Li Yu stuck out his tongue playfully.

Xie Zhao smiled fondly and let his daughter hold his sleeve, "Yu'er, good boy, look over there. There is a stream there. Let's go and have a look."

"it is good!"

The stream meanders away, and the clear spring water jingles, which is especially pleasant in the silent night.

Xie Zhao took off his shoes and socks and jumped into the water. He splashed the cold water on his face. Feeling the biting cold and refreshing feeling, he sighed in comfort. On such a cold night, the feeling of being accompanied by someone is really too good. alright.

Chang Le also jumped down, splashing water on Xie Zhao's body. The children stood on the shore, looking coldly at Wang Zai's couple, with dark lines on their faces.

But soon his attention was attracted by the firefly next to him. The biggest headache for Dieshi and the guards was to bring the child out with the two masters. It was really a pair of eyes that wanted to split into two pairs.

The two of them played in the water for a while, and Changle suddenly asked, "Azhao, what do you think Wan Ning is thinking?"

Xie Zhao was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Chang Le, "I don't know either." His dark eyes were full of crow-green shadows, and his long and thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow. His daughter is his baby, how can he Can outsiders covet it?And it’s such a rebellious relationship.

Xie Zhao suppressed his anger, "But Nini is only six years old, how dare he?"

Changle repeated: "I don't know how he dares, so I ask you, don't men understand men best?"

Xie Zhao vomited and shook his head, "Wan Ning likes a six-year-old child. He is either a pervert or a pervert."

Changle corrected: "He didn't say he liked her. He just said he would wait for Nini to grow up and then marry him. He said he was willing to wait for Nini for more than ten years, and he said he was willing to wait for Nini to leave the court for as long as it took."

"Will he wait?" Xie Zhao had some changes. After all, in this era, people who don't get married at the age of 25 are regarded as aliens. If Wan Ning can really resist the high pressure and doesn't get married and wait for Nini, then he can still consider it, but that's just consider.

Xie Zhao: "If Ban Ning is really willing to wait, then let him wait. We Nini are still young, and we may not like Ban Ning when we grow up. It's really too early to talk about this now. Originally, I thought that Wan Ning was an honest person, but I didn't expect that he was thoughtful and very calculating. He knew that tying up Nini would mean tying up us."

Chang Le's anger suddenly rose. After all, Chang Le watched Ban Ning grow up. She scolded: "What do you mean? We watched Ban Ning grow up. I treat her as my own. What does it mean to be honest?" Human? So what if he is dishonest? "

Xie Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this time, Li Yu suddenly shouted, "Father and mother, look at these beautiful fireflies."

Xie Zhao followed her line of sight, and sure enough, there were all kinds of fireflies flying among the grass.

Changle was extremely surprised. She had never seen such beautiful fireflies before, and she sincerely praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Xie Zhao whispered: "The child is here, don't discuss this."

Changle snorted and walked away.

Li Yu ran to the grass and picked up a bamboo basket and a wooden stick to drive away the fireflies. She bent over and smiled like a flower.

Xie Zhao squatted aside and looked at Li Yu.

His daughter was so beautiful, her fair and delicate skin seemed to be broken by a blow, and her dark and lively eyes shone like moonlight.

"Father, I want to put them all in and put them in my room." Li Yu looked up at Xie Zhao and said with a smile.

Xie Zhao smiled and touched her head, "Okay, just pretend if you like."

"Father, then you can pretend with me."

The two of them squatted beside the grass and got busy.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard in the distance, and the two people immediately stood up vigilantly and stared ahead warily.

"Who!" Xie Zhao shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, I am your minister." The visitor saluted respectfully.

Xie Zhao and Chang Le looked at each other, and then both looked at the person coming, "What are you doing here, Mr. Zhang, in the middle of the night?"

Master Zhang is Xie Zhao's confidant. He lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, I just heard that someone broke into Fengqi Palace and came here to report it."

"Breaking into Fengqi Palace?" Xie Zhao frowned, "Who broke into Fengqi Palace?"

Master Zhang raised his head and glanced at the stream not far away, "Your Majesty, look."

There was a pebble lying in the middle of the stream. The edge of the pebble was stained with blood. Apparently someone fell into the stream. Xie Zhao's face changed slightly and he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, send someone to find the murderer."

Master Zhang responded, "Yes." He turned and left, walked a few steps and suddenly paused. He turned back and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, could that person be the thief who sneaked into the palace that day?"

Xie Zhao's face turned pale instantly. He closed his eyes and opened them after a long time. "Go and check. No matter what, we must catch him."

Lord Zhang was ordered to retreat. Soon, a group of forbidden troops surrounded the stream. They carefully searched every inch of the stream.

"Your Majesty, there is no one here." Master Zhang stepped forward and whispered.

Xie Zhao slowly approached the stream. He squatted down, dipped his handkerchief in some water, then brought it to his nose and sniffed, "There is indeed no smell of blood, isn't it him?"

Mr. Zhang also walked to the stream and dipped some water. "Your Majesty, smell it, it seems to be a different smell." He handed the handkerchief to Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao took it and she smelled it for a long time before suddenly waking up and asking, "What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I suspect that there is medicine in this water, so I proposed to have it tested."

"This is impossible. He couldn't have poisoned me. No one knows my whereabouts." Xie Zhao shook his head repeatedly, looking flustered.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will check it myself."

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Xie Zhao squatted down, soaked the handkerchief, wrung it out and wiped the stream. The stream was very shallow, no more than a palm wide. She soaked the handkerchief and wet the soil, and then smoothed it out again. It only took a few breaths. , a dark green thing appeared in the stream. Xie Zhao picked it out and handed it to Li Yu, "Please help me see what this is."

Li Yu held the green thing in her palm and observed it carefully, "Father, this thing is so strange. It is round, like a lotus pod, and the color is green." She tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying: " It seems to be a purse, Father, who does this purse belong to? I remember that Brother Ban Ning once gave me the same style, but that one was red and had the word 'longevity' embroidered on it."

Xie Zhao looked at her serious look and couldn't help but smile, "Is this what Wan Ning gave it to you?"

"Well, it was given to me by Brother Ban Ning." Li Yu blinked and said, "Father said this is called 'Shou Peach', which is a mascot that means happiness, wealth, longevity and joy."

"Then did he give it to others?" Xie Zhao asked.

"It seems that only my mother has received it." Li Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued: "Father, do you think it was Brother Ban Ning who made it? He doesn't know how to embroider."

Xie Zhao was silent, and Li Yu tugged on her sleeve, "Father."

Xie Zhao held her hand and said gently: "Yu'er, let's go back and rest first."

Li Yu didn't know that during the time they were out of the palace, people died in the palace.

Master Zhang has been tracing the assassin's whereabouts all the way to this mountain.

I didn't expect His Majesty to be here. It was just too many coincidences.

It's like making a noise in the east and attacking in the west, making it difficult for people not to be on guard.

Changle left first with his two children. This place was close to the Western Suburbs Courtyard and he had to go back there first.

Xie Zhao stayed at the scene to inspect.

"Speedly send Li Wanning back!"

This was Xie Zhaoluo's death order, "I want to see how my daughter's purse is so good? Everyone is rushing to get it."

Master Zhang advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with His Highness Ban Ning. It just happened that what the thief stole was the princess's purse."

Xie Zhao smiled and shook his head: "Where can there be so many coincidences? Everything is planned and planned. The murderer is in the dark now, waiting for us to jump in hastily, so we can't panic now. Mr. Zhang, what should we do tomorrow? You Be clear."

Mr. Zhang immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I know very well that the mountains and the city have been sealed off. Tomorrow we will conduct house-to-house searches. We will try to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"Okay, I believe in you again."
