The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 124

Ning Yuezhao, who was half lying down, raised her thin and sharp chin, and said with some difficulty: "General Xiao and all the dear ones, are you here to visit me?"

Even if she is ill, she cannot lose the arrogance and dignity that an emperor should have.

Xiao Jingtian's face was ashen, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was a little damp.He slowly approached the bed and looked at Ning Yuezhao up close.

Having been in the army all year round, he was used to seeing life, death, injuries, and illnesses, so he could naturally see that Ning Yuezhao was not pretending to be sick.

It's only been a few days, how could she torture herself like this?

Xiao Jingtian let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword in doubt, and then took Ning Yuezhao's hand to catch her pulse.

"Is General Xiao good at medicine?" Ning Yuezhao didn't struggle, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Jingtian still had a tense face. For a person like him who is used to life in the battlefield, it is no problem to know a little simple medical skills.

Although he couldn't find out the specific illness, he could also see that Ning Yuezhao's body was severely damaged, and now he was holding on with one breath.

Xiao Jingtian let go of her hand, and said coldly: "Is Your Majesty trying to trick you? Why isn't there even a servant around?"

Ning Yuezhao was not afraid of his coldness, but just sighed softly, "General Xiao is so majestic, he came in with so many generals, and the people in my palace were cowardly, so they ran away for their lives, and I was the only one left. Such a person who can’t run can be dealt with by the general here.”

Xiao Jingtian's face turned ugly again. He brought so many people here today, of course he planned to put pressure on Ning Yuezhao.But he didn't intend to kill the king and usurp the throne!

He entered the palace just now because the female officer next to Ning Yuezhao said that the emperor wanted to summon him, and now it seems that he was tricked.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I only risked my life to seek an audience because I was worried about the situation at the border. I didn't want my ministers to be reckless and disturb Your Majesty's recuperation."

Among the generals who entered the palace with Xiao Jingtian, there were a few clear-headed generals who immediately recognized the situation and knelt down to plead guilty.

Some people took the lead, but the others were not easy to stand still, they all knelt down and looked at the empress tremblingly.They were afraid that if the empress, who looked sick in the past, died, then they would be charged with the crime of regicide and treason for the rest of their lives, and they would have to pay compensation to the whole family.

She trapped An Chen by means, and the Beiqi people were ready to move at the border. It seems that they have planted a lot of people in the imperial capital!

A sternness flashed in Ning Yuezhao's eyes. Facing the man kneeling on the ground, she did not open her mouth to forgive, but just quietly looked at Xiao Jingtian who was still standing there.

Xiao Jingtian had no choice but to kneel down on one knee with difficulty, "I have nothing to say, if you want to blame your Majesty, you can just blame the minister alone, and it has nothing to do with the generals!"

This is to bear all the responsibilities of the present!
It is true that Xiao Jingtian was able to build up such prestige in the army and military attaches not because of the prestige of the Xiao family, but because of his actual combat exploits on the battlefield, and because of his character.

He was resolute and decisive, clearly defined rewards and punishments, and strictly governed the army, which won the trust of officers and soldiers.

What happened today was caused by his rash actions in a hurry.

So he was duty-bound, and Ning Yuezhao did not speak for a long time, waiting for his apology.

Ning Yuezhao covered her lips and coughed twice, the generals who were kneeling on the ground broke out in cold sweat, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's break up." She said lightly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Xiao Jingtian's tense face softened after hearing this sentence.

"Sir, please retire!"

The group of people still felt like they were in a dream until they exited the empress' bedroom.

I can't imagine that such a large group of elders, all with their fellows, was forced to retreat by a weak woman lingering on the sick bed!

Xiao Jingtian also felt aggrieved, although he knew that the other party had taken advantage of their weakness, but he was still helpless.

Although military generals do not care as much about their reputation as civilian officials, they cannot bear the crime of seeking to usurp the throne.

"General, is this the thing about the military pay? Over there in the northwest..." It was Xiao Jingtian's lieutenant general who spoke, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Xiao Jingtian walked towards the front hall without saying a word, his mind is in a mess now, he just wants to leave the palace quickly.

No, he just stepped out of the gate of Ascending Dragon Hall, and saw Zuo Ming, the commander of the forbidden army, standing on the square in front of the hall with a calm expression.

"Ha, let me just say how confident she is!" Xiao Jingtian laughed suddenly, standing on the stone steps with his back straight, looking at Zuo Ming from afar.

"Commander Zuo!" Xiao Jingtian cupped his hands at him.

Although there are dozens of generals behind him now, Zuo Ming is alone in the square.But Xiao Jingtian knew that as long as Zuo Ming gave an order, countless imperial guards would appear, even if they could count as ten, they would not be able to defeat so many imperial guards.

Zuo Ming still had a serious expression on his face, he said in a deep voice, "General Xiao, are you leaving now?"

What's the meaning?Xiao Jingtian clenched his palms tightly, and said calmly, "Yes."

Zuo Ming turned sideways slightly and made a "please" gesture.

Xiao Jingtian was full of vigilance, his hand was on the hilt of the sword again, and he stepped down the stone steps with his head held high.

Just when he passed by Zuo Ming, he heard the other party suddenly say: "General Xiao just left today, but have you ever thought about how people outside will talk about the general after today?"

Xiao Jingtian stopped and looked at him coldly, "Gossip and gossip, how could I be afraid of it!"

"That's right. Xiao Jingtian, who has always been so brave, is naturally not afraid of mere rumors, but what about them?"

Zuo Ming glanced at the military officer who was following Xiao Jingtian, and said lightly, "It's only seven or eight days ago. Do you still remember how those officials in the court persecuted His Majesty?"

"How did Jiang Nian, the ex-husband of the emperor, devote himself to Daxing? No one like that is worth a lot of money. General, can you do it? Or is this sword in your hand?"

Xiao Jingtian held back his anger, "Your Majesty has personally promised to let me leave the palace, what does Commander Zuo mean by this?"

Zuo Ming rarely smiled lightly, "General Xiao wants to leave the palace, and no one can stop him. Zuo is just asking the general a few questions, so don't be nervous."

When Xiao Jingtian turned his head, the generals behind him had different expressions.

His lieutenant walked up to him and said in a low voice, "General, we can't just leave like this."

They just went out of the palace wearing armor and holding weapons, which was not justified.

Xiao Jingtian took a deep breath, turned to face Zuo Ming, took off his armor and the sword around his waist, and threw them to the ground.

"Are you satisfied with this?" The tone is still cold and hard, but the action has already softened.

With Xiao Jingtian taking the lead, the generals behind him also put down their weapons and armors one after another.

Zuo Ming faced Xiao Jingtian, who was dressed in a cloth robe but did not lose his majesty at all, and said with a smile: "The general is ordered by His Majesty to bring all the military officers into the palace. Now His Majesty has been waiting in the Dragon Palace for a long time, and General Xiao hastened to go. Listen to the oracle."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Jingtian and his party entered the palace today became justified.

At this time, two teams of imperial guards rushed out, and quickly put away the armor and weapons all over the place.

Xiao Jingtian's sword was picked up by Zuo Ming, and he said: "Soldiers, the country's murderous weapon. Your Majesty is ill and cannot see these things. The guards of the imperial army will put them away for you adults, and you will see them naturally when you return home. gone."

Xiao Jingtian, who was dressed in a cloth robe, turned around and walked towards the Empress' bedroom with a cold face.

He wants to see what kind of tricks this Ning Yuezhao is playing!
When Xiao Jingtian returned to Ning Yuezhao's bedroom again, the curtains were still put away, but the screen had been put back up again.

Xiao Jingtian's hearing is excellent, he heard some movement in the inner room, it seemed to be the sound of porcelain being touched lightly, presumably someone was serving Ning Yuezhao with medicine or something.

He walked into the inner room with a face as heavy as water, but the situation in front of him almost made Xiao Jingtian, an upright man, almost slip on his feet.

Xiao Jingtian's eyes widened, he read right!

The person half lying on the head of the bed still looks so weak, but the person serving him is not a maidservant, but Jiang Nian, the ex-husband who should be in the cold palace!
At this time, Jiang Nian was scooping up a spoonful of millet porridge, blew it, and then fed it to Ning Yuezhao.

Both of them knew that Xiao Jingtian had come in, but they still acted like no one was there, one continued to feed and the other continued to eat.

Xiao Jing's teeth were itching from the weather, "Aren't you going to explain what's going on?"

Jiang Nian scooped up another spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and said softly: "You have been in a coma for so many days, and you are not suitable for eating those that are not easy to digest. This millet porridge is very fragrant, so use as much as you can."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, enjoying his service very much.

Xiao Jingtian knew that these two people intended to take Joe, but right now those generals were still waiting for him outside. For the honor and disgrace of so many people's family, he could only endure it.

After finally waiting for the small bowl in Jiang Nian's hand to be empty, Xiao Jingtian coughed lightly, reminding the two of them that it's time to talk about business.

"Excuse me!" An unhappy female voice sounded behind Xiao Jingtian. He turned around and saw that it was the female official who had delivered a message to the palace gate.

He remembered that this person was Yan Zhenglang's daughter, who was No. 1 Jieyuan in high school this year.

But Xiao Jingtian would blacklist anyone who was of the same mind as Ning Yuezhao, so he immediately turned cold.

Holding the tray, Qingchi was very dissatisfied with Xiao Jingtian who happened to be standing by the screen, blocking her way.

"General Xiao, I want to deliver medicine to His Majesty, please step aside!"

Xiao Jingtian frowned and looked at the medicine bowl on the tray, the strong smell of the bitter medicine was unbearable just by smelling it, and then looked at Ning Yuezhao's almost bloodless face.Xiao Jingtian finally suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and stepped aside to get out of the way.

Jiang Nian put down the empty bowl, took the medicine that Qingchi just brought, and said to Ning Yuezhao, "It's time to drink the medicine."

Ning Yuezhao covered her mouth and nose, with a disgusted expression on her face. If she could, she really didn't want to drink these medicines that became more and more bitter every time, but for the sake of the overall situation, she had to recover her body as quickly as possible.

So, when Jiang Nian brought the concoction to her mouth, she did not refuse.

Xiao Jingtian watched Jiang Nian feed the medicine one mouthful at a time, and was so angry that he was about to jump up. The two of them couldn't finish it!

After finally waiting for the medicine bowl to be empty, Xiao Jingtian's face was so dark that it couldn't get any darker.

Jiang Nian frowned and said to Qingchi, "Why didn't you prepare something sweet?"

Qingchi panicked and said: "I was negligent, so I'll go get it now."

Xiao Jingtian finally couldn't help but exploded, "Killing is nothing more than nodding your head. When are you so slow with blunt knives?"

　Well, I will work harder and try to update a chapter later to make up for yesterday.
