Chapter 353 Xiao Wei Injured
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and asked Xie Qian: "Aiqing, what happened to the Xue family that you had a marriage contract with back then? But there are still descendants?"

Xie Qian shook his head and said: "Xue's family and Xie's family were both convicted, and their descendants went into exile. I haven't met a single person in these years."

The emperor said "no".

After a while, he said again: "The engagement, was it ever broken?"

Seeing that the emperor seemed to really take this matter to heart, Xie Qian had no choice but to say: "The engagement has never been broken. Miss Xue may have faded away all these years, and I have not received any definite news, nor have I thought about getting married. thing."

The emperor's sword eyebrows slowly frowned, and he gave Xie Qian a disapproving look, and said, "The boss is not young, what does it mean if you don't get married? Even if you love that Miss Xue so much, you can't keep it empty." The marriage contract has delayed me for nothing!"

Xie Qian was really helpless to the emperor's temper, so he said: "I have my own plans."

The emperor tapped the table with slightly curved fingers, squinted his eyes, and said, "What's your plan? I don't think you have any plans."

Xie Qian said nothing.

The emperor saw that he didn't want to get in, so he had no choice but to put it aside, and said: "Fortunately, you don't intend to get married right now. When I find a suitable candidate, we can talk about your marriage."

Others might not be able to bear his domineering temperament. After all, no one is willing to let the emperor make the choice of his own life-long affairs.

However, Xie Qian had no intention of marrying someone he didn't know well. Even if the left and right emperors found someone, he still had the right to refuse, so he didn't say anything more.

The emperor and his ministers chatted for a while, and the emperor let Xie Qian go.

As soon as Xie Qiancai stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Da Gonggong, who was guarding at the side, smiled at him and greeted him: "Master Xie, how is the emperor?"

Xie Qian stopped and said, "I'm in a good mood."

I saw that Grandpa Da let out a long sigh of relief, and the expression on his face also relaxed, he shook his head and said, "Master Xie, Sir Xie, you are really good at putting out fires. Looking at the appearance of His Majesty today, if it weren't for the legendary I have summoned you to speak, I am afraid that many teacups will be broken again."

Xie Qian frowned slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty has been very angry recently?"

Eunuch Da didn't hide it from him at all, he just said: "Now that it's hot today, His Majesty's temper has also become a little irritable, and everything in the court and the harem is not going well..."

Xie Qian said in a low voice: "Since that's the case, please trouble your father-in-law to take the trouble to prepare some tea to clear away heat and fire for your majesty. The peace pulse that should be asked by the imperial physician must not be missing. Now the harem is not stable, and the things that are imported, the father-in-law is also Be careful."

Da Gonggong agreed, and then watched Xie Qian leave.

Still sighing in his heart, Mr. Xie usually looks like a cold person, but he did not expect that after he really took care of His Majesty, he would be so careful.

Thinking in this way, he called Ale beside him to go to the Imperial Hospital, it was time to ask the emperor for a pulse.

When Eunuch Da finished arranging things and came towards the main hall, he saw Lin Rong standing beside him, and greeted him with a smile: "Lord Lin, I see that you have worked hard by staying by His Majesty's side these few days."

There is an indescribable similarity between Lin Rong and Xie Qian. Needless to say, they are calm and reliable, which makes Da Gonggong feel close and trustworthy.

I only heard Lin Zhi say: "The imperial concubine died of illness, and things in the palace are chaotic, so the guards should be more stringent than usual."

Eunuch Da stopped, and talked to Lin Roe: "Isn't that right! Even so, you are working these days? Why don't you see any rest?"

Lin Rong shook his head and said softly, "The guards have their own shifts."

The former sighed softly and went into the main hall, thinking that Mr. Xie, Mr. Lin, uncle and nephew are really concerned about the emperor's safety.

Eunuch Da naturally didn't know that Yao Shu had gone to the south now, so Lin Zhi simply stayed in the room prepared for the imperial guards in the palace, so he could stay in the palace every day.

Lin Zhi stayed in the palace, which freed up Yao Chao's time and energy to watch Du Heng's movements——

After the noble concubine died of illness, although the emperor never let go of his promise to hold an immediate general election, the hidden forces in the capital were ready to move, and no one would give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to install people in the harem.

The private communication between Du Heng and Meng Qing became increasingly close.

Whether it is Lin Zhi or Yao Chao in the capital, their actions are watched by those who are interested in them. The only person who can help them keep an eye on them is Xiao Wei who keeps coming and going without a trace.

Three days ago, news came from Xiao Wei that Du Heng and Meng Qing had an appointment to meet in the outskirts of the city, Xiao Wei followed, and Yao Chao stayed at home waiting for his news.

Just waited and waited for three days, Du Heng had already appeared in the shop in the capital, but Xiao Wei did not come back.

Yao Chao was secretly anxious.

The second sister-in-law Yao was about to go out that day, and she thought Yao Chao was at home, so she came to talk to him.

Seeing him holding a book and looking at it for most of the day, Second Aunt Yao couldn't help but asked strangely: "Why, you've been slacking off for the past few days because Ah Ling is staying in the palace? You don't want to work, and you read books at home every day. Be careful, when Ashu comes back, he will fight for your husband's injustice!"

Yao Chao just smiled, raised the letter in his hand, and said: "It's easy to have a free time to do what you want to do - the old books from the previous dynasty are still the kind carved on bamboo slips, and the words are obscure Difficult to read and exhausting to read. I'm working on this."

Second Sister-in-law Yao was puzzled: "It's written so many years ago, and I don't need it now. Why are you studying it?"

Yao Chao closed the bamboo slips, shook his head, and said, "You don't understand. Some characters from the previous dynasty are still used in the army today, in order to prevent those who want to intercept the news delivered by the army. Do you think it is useful to study this?" ?”

Second Sister-in-Law Yao still couldn't understand, and muttered, "You don't want to join the army to fight. Instead, after the research is over, teach your family Yao Erlang well, and encourage your son to go to the battlefield in the future!"

Now that the husband and wife are facing each other, there are a lot of stumbling blocks, but Yao Chao is not a calculating person, and he never over-interprets the thorny words of the second sister-in-law Yao, so he just said: "Okay, why don't I stop reading it?" Where's the son? I'll play with him for a while."

Second Sister Yao's awkwardness just disappeared soon, pointing to the other side of the courtyard wall, said: "I don't need you, now that Dalang and Erlang are together every day, there is no need for adults to care about them. Erlang has a tough temper these days. It’s also calmed down a lot.”

Yao Chaowen said softly, "It's all taught by Madam."

Second Sister-in-law Yao smiled: "Don't give me ecstasy soup! You are at home these days, so you can rest when you rest, and I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, she greeted Yao Chao, and followed Aunt Yao to the restaurant.

Yao Chao picked up the bamboo slips he had read just now and began to study them, slowly suppressing his anxiety in the unfamiliar words.

Another day passed, and Xiao Wei still didn't move at all.

At night, everyone in the Yao family fell asleep, and the familiar bird calls rang out in a regular rhythm, and Yao Chao suddenly woke up from his dream.

He came out of the bedroom with his clothes on. The moonlight was like water, spreading in the courtyard, illuminating the shadows of the trees.

Under the big tree in the courtyard, there really was a familiar figure standing.

Yao Chao stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice, "Why did you come back? But things are difficult, so this is the delay?"

The boy in black didn't speak, his pale face looked even more bloodless against the backdrop of the moonlight.

Yao Chao frowned, and when he came to the boy, he was about to ask what happened, when he saw Xiao Wei suddenly turned straight in his direction——

"Xiao Wei!"

Yao Chao knelt down and supported the boy, not letting him fall to the ground.But the person in his arms was breathing much more heavily and rapidly than before, and he also felt a cold stickiness in the hand that was holding the boy's body.

He looked down at the red color on his palm, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The boy could not be seen in black clothes, but in fact his body was already covered with blood...
