Chapter 127 Jagged Wrist
Compared with Xiao's mansion, the palace is much calmer.

It was already evening when Ning Yuezhao woke up, the first thing she did subconsciously was to look for Jiang Nian, and when she saw the man lying beside her, she immediately felt relieved.

The dim sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice, and Jiang Nian's side face was against the light. Even in his sleep, his pretty brows were still slightly frowned, as if deeply worried.

Ning Yuezhao stretched out her hand unconsciously, trying to smooth his frowning brows.He didn't want her fingertips just touched his brow when he opened his eyes.

"Did it wake you up?" Ning Yuezhao smiled a little embarrassingly, and wanted to withdraw her outstretched hand like an electric shock.

Jiang Nian grabbed her hand that was about to withdraw, and gently rubbed against his cheek, "No, I woke up a long time ago."

Ning Yuezhao's hand was wrapped in his warm palm, and under his palm was his jade-like skin. Such warmth and tranquility made her a little confused for a while.

"Azhao." Jiang Nian's call brought her back to reality.

"En." Ning Yuezhao responded lightly.

Jiang Nian put her hand on his chest, and gently wrapped her shoulder with the other hand, approaching her.

The two were so close now that they could clearly feel each other's breath.

"If possible, I really hope that time stops at this moment."

Ning Yuezhao blinked, "Although I've been unconscious more than awake these days, I know you've always been there, and I've heard everything you said."

Jiang Nian smiled lightly, touching her forehead with satisfaction.

"I said, I will accompany you for the rest of my life."

Ning Yuezhao gently wrapped his arms around his neck, further closing the distance between the two.

"When I was in a coma, I felt dizzy in my head, and I felt extremely hopeless and helpless, but I was not reconciled. The Queen's revenge had not been avenged, and Daxing was not stable. How could I let go! At that time I seem to be stuck in a quagmire, and I urgently need someone to help me, and then I heard your voice..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Nian kissed her lips, turning everything she wanted to say into sobs.

"Look at you, with Fu Liao, Lan Yu and I here, is it just a mere poison that makes you panic like this?"

Jiang Nian cared about her body, and the kiss would end after a little taste.

Ning Yuezhao couldn't explain how she felt at that time, that kind of despair was like destroying the world, and she was alone and helpless.

"Maybe it's because people are unconscious and confused."

"We still have half a month to go. In this half month, you have to take care of yourself."

Jiang Nian told her about the agreement with Xiao Jingtian.

After hearing this, Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, "Although your previous method of farming was good, it is impossible to have a harvest in the short term, not to mention it is still the twelfth lunar month. If there is a war in the northwest, we still have to Find a way to raise money."

"Don't worry, we won't be able to fight in the northwest." Jiang Nian said confidently.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Firstly, Beiqi is located in a bitterly cold place in the northwest, and winter is the time when they are most scarce in supplies and food. If they go to war at this time, it will be even more unfavorable to them; secondly, they should have thought that An Chen's Gu poison was safe, so they were eager to mobilize troops. Ma, when there is chaos in Daxing, we will start riots, and now that Anchen is under our control, and Xiao Jingtian is here, there will be no chaos in Daxing; and now that Lan Yu is obviously inclined to us, and they are mixing with traitors from the Miao nationality, Then the Miao people will not form an alliance with them, without such a heaven-defying help, whether Bei Qi wants to go to war, I am afraid that I will have to weigh it over and over again."

"I hope so." Hearing Jiang Nian's thorough analysis, Ning Yuezhao's heart was much more at ease.

Jiang Nian pulled her into his arms, stroked her beautiful hair, "Don't worry, I'm here for everything."

On the second day, at morning time, the officials went to Chongtian Palace to report as usual.

Although Ning Yuezhao announced that she was unwell and the morning court was suspended, most of the officials quit!

Everyone knows that the Empress's childhood sweetheart, An Yuyi, is terminally ill. However, the Empress was injured due to a miscarriage, and hearing the news that her beloved one died soon, made her condition worse.

Since the news of the change in the northwest, the people in the imperial capital have become even more disturbed.

However, the palace is as tight as an iron bucket these days, and the officials have no choice but to inquire about the news.

As the number one gossip source in the imperial capital, Tingfeng Tea House has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Although Zhou Yihu also liked to use the secrets of the royal family to tell fictional stories in the past, but there has never been a story as close to reality as this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is accurate.

The love triangle story between the empress, the emperor's husband and the imperial doctor in Zhou Yihu's hands has also reached the most exciting part in the past few days.

It turns out that the gentle and harmless imperial doctor turned out to be the spy of a neighboring country. The so-called emperor's husband killed the flesh and blood of the empress because of suspicion, which was actually set up by the imperial doctor.

The wronged emperor's husband managed to meet the empress, and revealed that the death of the former emperor might also be related to the imperial doctor.

How the empress will respond after listening to it is yet to be broken down in the next chapter.

Although the gossip stories were well told, a large number of officials did not believe that Ning Yuezhao was really unwell, and believed that she was indulging in an affair with her children.Therefore, most of the officials will appear in the early court time, in order to impeach and impeach, and at the same time to put pressure on the empress.

At this moment, Xiao Jingtian, who stood at the head of the military officer, glanced at the crowd, and found that everyone had arrived except for the chief assistant Jiang Qixi who said he was sick.

Xiao Jingtian came out slowly, facing all the officials, said in a deep voice: "My lords, do you have a book to play today?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why the general made such a statement.

Those who are well-informed already know that His Majesty summoned the general and a group of generals into the palace yesterday, so let's take a closer look.Today's military officers above the fifth rank all don't have weapons on their waists.

Immediately, a rush of rain enveloped the entire Chongtian Temple.

But this did not stop some civil servants who wanted to "remonstrate to the death" in order to be famous in history. Someone immediately pointed out, "What does General Xiao mean? Only His Majesty is qualified to ask such a question, even if you hold the Not even a heavy general!"

"General, you actually brought weapons into the Chongtian Temple!"

"It's reversed! The general is going to rebel!"

Xiao Jingtian snorted coldly, and glanced at these civil servants who were yelling with their eyes closed.He took out a roll of bright yellow silk from his pocket and summoned the eunuchs in the palace.

"Read this to them!"

The eunuch tremblingly walked up to Xiao Jingtian, took the roll of silk with shaking hands, and opened it——

"This is an imperial decree!"

In an instant, all the officials knelt on the ground, including Xiao Jingtian himself.

The eunuch read aloud: "By God's fortune, the emperor said: I am sick, and I have not kept the government from being abolished. Now General Jianwei Xiao Jingtian is acting as an agent for the affairs of the court. All ministers and workers must listen to and respect him. Because of Xiao Qing As a military commander, I have specially allowed him to bring his sword to the palace, so please!"

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the officials were astonished.

Xiao Jingtian got up and walked up the steps slowly, looking down at the crowd, "I'm supposed to be qualified to ask now, right?"

Fortunately, Jiang Nian did things safely, and sent the imperial decree to Xiao's residence before dark yesterday, otherwise Xiao Jingtian would have been really difficult to operate today.

"The ministers will follow the will of the Holy One!"

Xiao Jingtian was very satisfied with their reaction, "Then, if you have anything to play, tell me."

Most of the people held the memorial book in their hands tightly, because what they were going to play was to impeach the Empress for private affairs and to appease and indulge her ex-husband Jiang Nian.

Now that Xiao Jingtian is holding the imperial decree of the empress, they absolutely cannot hand over the memorial book in their hands.

Because everyone knew that Xiao Jingtian had always contradicted the empress, and now that Xiao Jingtian had entered the palace and brought the imperial decree, it was likely to be true.

At this stalemate, Yan Zhenglang came out, "Since the general saw His Majesty yesterday, do you know why His Majesty is ill?"

He asked this question out of genuine concern for Ning Yuezhao, and Yan Zhenglang never suspected that Ning Yuezhao was pretending to be ill.

Xiao Jingtian said arrogantly: "I am not an imperial doctor, and I don't know how to diagnose the pulse. Your Majesty still needs to rest for half a month. During this time, please don't disturb Your Majesty's recuperation."

Seeing that Xiao Jingtian was so secretive about the empress' illness, the people below started whispering again.

An official said directly: "Your Majesty's body is related to Daxing's Jiangshan Sheji. We, as courtiers, have the right to know. Why should the general hide it?"

Xiao Jingtian said impatiently, "I said that His Majesty is fine now, and he will resume his morning court after half a month of recuperation. What's the point of you all asking, will you see a doctor?"

This is Xiao Jingtian's way of solving problems, simple and rude.

What Jiang Nian wants is his strong suppression, because there are still some things that haven't been arranged properly, and the Anchen people outside can't know now, they have discovered that Ning Yuezhao's poison has not been solved, and naturally they can't let people know, This Gu poison has been detoxified by the Miao people.

The hard-nosed civil servants were dissatisfied, "General Xiao, His Majesty will not go to court for another half a month, so what about political affairs?"

Xiao Jingtian glanced at him coldly, "Why are you officials raised by the imperial court? Isn't it just to share your majesty's worries? Now that your majesty is ill, you naturally have to take the lead! Do what you have to do, don't you still have to do it yourself? Did the general teach you?"

The man was choked up by Xiao Jingtian's words, unable to refute.

Xiao Jingtian put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and took a step forward, "In short, from today onwards, I don't want you to publish those messy memorials to cause trouble for His Majesty. If anyone feels unable to handle the affairs at hand, I will change the meeting. Do something!"

These words carried a hint of threat, and everyone trembled a little.

"General Xiao, don't go too far!"

Xiao Jingtian raised his chin slightly, looked arrogantly, and looked at the official who spoke, "Do you have an opinion?"

The man was stunned by his momentum and took a step back, without making a sound for a while.

Xiao Jingtian clenched the sword at his waist, "If you have an opinion, come and ask my sword and my soldiers, and they will give you a satisfactory answer!"
