Chapter 142
Glancing at Jiang Nian, who was still in a daze of illness, Ning Yuezhao stood up, "I have already ordered someone to spread Fu Liao's message. There are so many people crowded here, which is not good for his condition. Leaving two people to take care of him is the best thing to do." All right."

Her voice was faint, but with unquestionable firmness.

Yu said forbearance: "I am his mother, I want to stay."

Ning Yuezhao twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't care about her, "Then I'll have to trouble my mother."

Originally, she was worried that Yu Shi's body would be too much to bear, but just now seeing her angrily attacking her, it would be fine if she wanted to take care of Jiang Nian.Although she didn't like herself, it was impossible for her not to be devoted to herself.

Yu moved his mouth, but finally didn't say anything. He sat on the side of the bed and looked at Jiang Nian worriedly.

Jiang Qixi said: "People are already waiting in the lobby, let me go there with you."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, and glanced at Jiang Nian before leaving.

Jiang Qixi saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, the overall situation is the most important."

"En." Ning Yuezhao turned away, collected her thoughts, and went to the hall with Jiang Qixi.

The eunuch who sent the message was sent by Bitao, and he was standing with Yuan Xi, while the others were pushed back.

When they saw Ning Yuezhao, they were about to salute, but she raised her hand to stop them.

"If you have something to say directly, now is not the time to talk about politeness."

"Yes, Your Majesty, General Xiao came to the palace to ask for an audience. Aunt Bitao asked the servant to invite you back to the palace quickly, and she stood in the way first."

Why is this person so haunted!

Ning Yuezhao frowned, "Got it."

Seeing that she seemed to have no intention of leaving, the eunuch who sent the message urged: "Your Majesty, hurry up and leave, you know General Xiao's temper."

Ning Yuezhao's brows frowned even deeper, and the hand hanging by her side gradually tightened. She was the majestic Emperor Daxing, but she was restrained by a martial artist!
Jiang Qixi reminded: "Your Majesty, there are some things that cannot be rushed, and the future will last forever."

Ning Yuezhao exhaled slowly, and slowly let go of her tightly clenched hands, "I'm going back to the palace right away!"

At this time, outside the Dragon Hall.

Xiao Jingtian said impatiently: "What time is it, she still doesn't get up!"

"General Xiao, Your Majesty is not feeling well, you should know." Bitao replied coldly.

Xiao Jingtian sneered when he heard the words, "I have been waiting for her for half an hour, and now the time has passed, hasn't she had enough rest?"

Bi Tao still said the same thing, "The imperial doctor told His Majesty to rest. The general should also know that so many things happened yesterday. Your Majesty presided over the government affairs all day and was overtired. Therefore, it is appropriate to sleep more."

Xiao Jingtian's face darkened, "Really? Let me go in and see if His Majesty's illness is really that serious!"

Bitao Hengxiu stopped in front of him, "General Xiao, this is His Majesty's bedroom, please watch your words and deeds!"

Xiao Jingtian looked her up and down, and suddenly smiled, "You are the highest female official in the palace, and you have always been responsible for serving His Majesty personally, but now you are here to prevent the general from seeing His Majesty, is it because His Majesty is not in the palace at all?"

Bitao is an old man in the palace. Although Xiao Jingtian's words made her heart skip a beat, she remained calm. She withdrew her hand and said calmly, "General, Your Majesty is a woman after all. How can a man like you in her dormitory?" Do you want to break in at will?"

Xiao Jingtian lowered his foot that was originally raised, and squinted his eyes to look at Bitao, "That's just right, isn't she without a husband now? I will be responsible for this to the end!"

Seeing that he was determined to force his way in, Bitao stopped dealing with him, and she clapped her hands, "Come here!"

Following Bitao's order, two teams of guards filed out from both sides of the Dragon Hall and lined up behind Bitao.

With a soft sound of "Shua Shua Shua", the guards drew out their swords and pointed at Xiao Jingtian.

Xiao Jingtian did not bring a sword into the palace today, but he has always been brave and good at fighting, even if he is unarmed and facing dozens of imperial guards, he will not show the slightest timidity.

"With these people alone, can you do nothing to this general? You are too naive."

These words are extremely arrogant, but for Xiao Jingtian, who has the courage of all men, he has the strength and capital to say such words.

Although the guards of the imperial army are well-trained, they cannot be compared with the generals who have been on the battlefield after all. Even so, they still did not take half a step back.

"General Xiao, the slaves don't want to do this either, but if the general wants to force his way in, the imperial guards in the palace are not greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Bi Tao took a step forward, her face showing no fear.

"Okay, I will appreciate people with backbone! In order to reward your backbone, I will spare your life."

Xiao Jingtian put on a posture, as if he was about to fight the imperial army.

Seeing that a fierce battle was about to break out, a slightly shrill voice came from the Hall of Rising Dragon——

"Wait a minute!"

Yuan Xi hurried to Bitao's side, "Auntie, Your Majesty has woken up and summoned General Xiao."

When Bitao saw him coming back, she knew that Ning Yuezhao must have been taken back, and her tense face eased a little.She waved her hand, motioning the imperial guards to get out of the way.

"General, please."

Xiao Jingtian put his hands back and stood still, walked into the hall with his head held high, picked a chair at random and sat down.

When Ning Yuezhao came out slowly from the back of the palace, Xiao Jingtian just stood up and cupped his hands towards her.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Ning Yuezhao, who had freshened up, sat down at the chief seat, and Bitao stood beside her.

Since the other party didn't salute, there was no need for her to say "excuse me", Ning Yuezhao just asked indifferently: "The general is asking for an audience in such a grand manner today, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jingtian stood up straight, and sat back in his original seat carelessly.

"The minister is here to ask His Majesty for a reward."

"What reward?" Ning Yuezhao glanced at him, "I don't remember what I asked the general to do."

Xiao Jingtian squinted his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I will help you stabilize the courtiers for half a month. You can't cross the river and tear down the bridges, kill donkeys, right?"

Ning Yuezhao smiled, "Is this the kind of person I am? It's just that I really don't remember what I promised the general."

Xiao Jingtian said coldly: "At the beginning, Jiang Nian promised me that as long as I stabilize the situation in the court, I will increase the military expenditure as I wish. Now that His Majesty has successfully eradicated Bei Qi's spy, it is time to fulfill the promise? Your Majesty You can't tell me to ask the minister to find Jiang Nian who has left the palace and never returned, right?"

Naturally, Ning Yuezhao couldn't say such a thing, she said: "Xiao Jingtian, it's not that I won't increase your military expenditure, but that the national treasury is empty, and there is really no way to allocate more money."

Xiao Jingtian immediately turned cold when she refused, "Does Your Majesty think that the minister's request for an increase in military expenditure is for his own self-interest? Beiqi is ready to move, and the two countries may go to war at any time. The number of recruits recruited in September this year is higher than in previous years. Does Your Majesty want to go to war?" Are these newly enlisted sergeants chilled?"

Although Ning Yuezhao has never been to the frontier, she also knows that the frontier is difficult, especially in this season.

Although Jiang Nian's plan for repairing the river embankment saved a lot of money, it was still a big burden on the treasury, which was not rich at all.

If you have to take out the money, you can only spend it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is the emperor's private deposit.The money was left by her empress, but when her empress was in power, she had already paid a lot of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to subsidize military expenses.What Xiao Jingtian asked for was almost to empty out the House of Internal Affairs.

Holding heavy soldiers is the capital Xiao Jingtian dares to challenge her here, but without these soldiers who defend the family and the country, Daxing Kingdom will not exist.

Ning Yuezhao didn't want the frontier soldiers to suffer, but she also didn't want to see Xiao Jingtian's arrogance rising day by day.

Right now Xiao Jingtian broke into the palace and committed offenses many times in order to increase military expenditures, this is treasonous in the eyes of civil servants.But in the eyes of those soldiers, they only felt that Xiao Jingtian was doing it for them, so that he could win the morale of the army even more.

On this matter, Ning Yuezhao was already very passive. If the trouble continued, Daxing might start fighting among himself before Bei Qi came to fight.

Forget it, the green hills are left without worrying about firewood, and she will take care of these soldiers for Xiao Jingtian for the time being, and one day she will take back the military power!

Seeing her silent for a long time, Xiao Jingtian lost his patience, stood up directly from his seat, and said negatively: "Your Majesty is really calculating, I finally know why Jiang Shoufu wanted to prevent Jiang Nian from resetting yesterday, and the reason is for today's reneging on what he said? You, Really good!"

After speaking, with a livid face, he walked towards the outside of the hall with big strides.

"Stop!" Ning Yuezhao couldn't help getting angry when she saw him throwing down her face like this, "Xiao Jingtian, do you still have this emperor in your eyes?"

Xiao Jingtian didn't even turn his head, and said coldly: "To be honest, I don't think you are a qualified king. Use your emotions and act recklessly. Apart from being reincarnated, you have no advantages."

Ning Yuezhao was trembling with anger, she pressed one hand on the soft sword at her waist, and subconsciously wanted to teach Xiao Jingtian a lesson, but in the end she still didn't draw out the sword.Because she thought of what Jiang Qixi said to her in the Jiangfu hall today - "Your Majesty, the future will be long, and there are some things that cannot be rushed."

Even if I fight with Xiao Jingtian now, or kill him, it doesn't matter, if he is not with me, I may still be instigated by ulterior motives, and then there will be another civil strife.

The Daxing country is already devastated, and it can no longer stand such a toss.

Thinking of this, the anger that was provoked for no reason gradually subsided, Ning Yuezhao slowly put down the hand on his waist, and he became calm.

With his back turned to her, Xiao Jingtian thought she would rush towards him with all his teeth and claws, but in the end there was no sound at all, so he was puzzled instead.But he couldn't bear to look back, so he could only keep going.

Just as Xiao Jingtian walked to the door, Ning Yuezhao's voice sounded from behind him.

"I agree with your request. It's just that the money is not from the treasury, but from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xiao Jingtian naturally knew what this meant. He turned to look at her with deep meaning in his eyes, "You..."

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "I'm tired, you should step back."

Xiao Jingtian was a little caught off guard by her sudden change, but since the other party had issued an order to evict the guest, he naturally wouldn't stay here to make fun of himself.

Finally, he walked away without a word.

Ning Yuezhao leaned back on the back of the chair, looking indescribably tired.
