Jiang Qingning saw a thin and thin man walking in wearing the clothes of a palace eunuch.

"master!"

Xiao Xun was led in, and when he saw Jiang Qingning, there was some excitement in his voice that couldn't be concealed.

He had heard about it before, and knew that Jiang Qingning had returned to Chang'an, and had also won the number one scholar, entered the court as an official, and became an editor of the Imperial Academy.

He also wanted to see Jiang Qingning a long time ago, but because of the strict palace restrictions, he never had the chance to come out of the palace. Today he had to come out to work for a father-in-law in the palace, so he had the chance to come to Jiang Qingning.

"Xiao Xun!" Jiang Qingning couldn't hide her excitement in her heart, reuniting with an old friend, anyone can't help but feel happy.

Jiang Qingning ordered Si Wu and the others to retreat, leaving him alone with Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun asked: "Master, where have you been all these years? Why did you suddenly leave without saying a word? This slave was sad for you for a long time."

When asked about that incident back then, Jiang Qingning couldn't help but feel very emotional, but it's all over, he shook his head and said: "Don't mention the past, and you can't call me master anymore."

Xiao Xun nodded: "Yes." He thought for a while, and then said, "Master Jiang, you are right."

Xiao Xun didn't know the details of what happened back then, but he knew that Jiang Qingning liked His Highness the Sixth Highness back then, and there must be something unspeakable about Jiang Qingning's sudden departure. Since Jiang Qingning didn't want to mention it again, he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's just the master..." Xiao Xun almost blurted out to call Master Jiang Qingning again, he paused, and then asked again, "Master Jiang, how have you been these years?"

Jiang Qingning replied with a smile: "I'm fine, how about you?"

"How are you and Xiao Mi doing now?" He remembered that when he left, Xiao Xun and Xiao Mi were in a deep and sticky relationship, and they must have achieved a positive result by now.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xun shook his head, and said with a bitter face: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Jiang, since you left, Xiao Mi and I have been forced to separate, and we can only see each other once or twice a year."

Jiang Qingning was a little surprised and said, "How could this happen?"

Xiao Xun seemed a little hard to say, and only sighed.

Jiang Qingning saw his hesitation and worry, and said, "There is no one else here, so it's okay for you to say it."

Xiao Xun still thought about it, then suddenly plopped down on his knees and said: "Master Jiang, since you left back then, His Majesty's old illness has relapsed, and after a serious illness, his temperament changed drastically. After Mi got together, he... just beat me twenty times, and made me and Xiao Mi, one in the east and the other in the west of the mansion, and we can only see each other once a year."

"Later, His Majesty was established as the crown prince, and my servants and I entered the palace with His Majesty. Xiao Mi was in the East Palace, and I was assigned to work in the courtyard farthest from the East Palace. Later, Your Majesty ascended the throne, Xiao I am in front of the imperial court, and I was sent to the most remote palace, so it is difficult to see him once a year."

Jiang Qingning: "..." He never expected that, according to Xiao Che's past temperament, he thought that Xiao Che should have fulfilled Xiao Xun and Xiao Mi's couple long ago, but he didn't expect that Xiao Che would take such painstaking efforts to make the couple happy. The two broke up.

"Your Majesty, did he really...really do that?" Jiang Qingning held back for a long time before finally asking this question.

Xiao Xun said sincerely: "Everything I said is true."

Jiang Qingning was silent for a while, then asked: "Then your majesty was sick back then, how long has he been sick? Has it relapsed since then?"

Xiao Xun recalled it for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty's old illness relapsed twice in the past, and the total time added up is about two months. After that, it seems that there has never been a relapse."

"That's good." Jiang Qingning was relieved.It seems that Emperor Yong'an finally spoke his word back then.

Seeing that Xiao Xun was still kneeling on the ground, Jiang Qingning helped him up and said, "You and I are no longer masters and servants, you don't need to kneel to me anymore. Regarding the matter between you and Xiao Mi, I will find a way to make His Majesty fulfill you."

After Xiao Xun heard about it, he immediately said gratefully: "Master Xie Jiang, Xiao Xun will always remember your great kindness and virtue in his life, and he will do his best to repay your kindness in the future."

Jiang Qingning shook her head and said: "You and I are old acquaintances, and I didn't help you because I want your repayment, and I can only try my best to do this matter, but there is no guarantee that it will be done." Xiao Xun nodded: "The little one knows."

He also knew that the current His Majesty was no longer the Sixth Highness of the past. Although His Majesty had some friendship with Mr. Jiang back then, after all these years, no one can guarantee how much of their friendship is left now.He is already very grateful that Mr. Jiang has the heart to help him now.

The two sat down and talked about the old days.

Jiang Qingning learned about Xiao Che's past years from her childhood.

Knowing that after he left that year, Xiao Che's old illness relapsed twice, and it took more than two full years for Xiao Che's legs to fully recover.

He was jealous of other princes and sent someone to assassinate him. Xiao Che directly killed the assassin. At that time, everyone knew that Xiao Che was good at martial arts.

When he first ascended to the position of crown prince, many ministers in the court expressed disapproval of him. Later, he gradually conquered everyone with his own ability...

Jiang Qingning listened to Xiao Xun talking about how Xiao Che ascended to the throne, heard him talk about how the ministers in the court forced Xiao Che to establish a queen and accept concubines because of the emperor's heir, and heard him talk about how Xiao Che resisted. Overcome these pressures and persist until now...

"Your Majesty, is he really not worried about the matter of the emperor's heir?" Jiang Qingning couldn't help asking.

Xiao Xun said: "I don't know about this little one, but it seems that His Majesty is really not in a hurry."

Jiang Qingning sighed and said, "But sooner or later he will have an heir."

When Xiao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Qingning.

Jiang Qingning couldn't help laughing and said, "What do you think I'm doing? I can't have children."

If he could have children, he wouldn't have left back then.

Xiao Xun looked away in embarrassment.

After Jiang Qingning searched here since he was a child to learn about Xiao Che, he suddenly thought of someone again. Since returning to Chang'an, he has never seen it, nor heard anyone mention it.

"There is someone else, let me ask you first." Jiang Qingning said.

Xiao Xun looked at Jiang Qingning with a look of knowing everything, and said, "Master Jiang, just ask."

Jiang Qingning asked: "How has Chief Feng been these past few years? Why haven't I seen him or heard of him since I returned to Chang'an?"

Thinking back then, Feng Ying should be more important in Xiao Che's heart than Emperor Yong'an. Although he has no blood relationship with Xiao Che, he always guarded Xiao Che like his own child back then.

Now that Xiao Che has become the emperor, he thought that Feng Ying would be very famous, but why did he not hear any news about him after he came back.

"This little one is a bit difficult to talk about." Xiao Xun suddenly said with a strange expression.

Jiang Qingning asked more curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Xun said: "Master Jiang, if you really want to know, then you might as well ask His Highness Ninth Prince Qi Wang?"

"Is it related to Xiao Li?" Jiang Qingning asked even more puzzled.

Xiao Xun was very curious to see Jiang Qingning. After all, Jiang Qingning was his former master, and Jiang Qingning said that he wanted to help him and Xiao Mi, so he was his current and future benefactor, so he simply told: "Boss Feng Now he has gone to Guo'an Temple to become a monk."

Jiang Qingning's expression was shocked: "Why is he so good...why suddenly he became a monk?"

Xiao Xun replied: "It was forced by His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Jiang Qingning asked in surprise, "How did you force it?"

Xiao Xun said: "At first, His Highness Ninth Prince only forced Chief Feng to teach him martial arts, but then for some reason, he pestered Chief Feng every day, and refused to go back at night. His Royal Highness's biological mother, Concubine Yu, knew about it and ran to the The Sixth Prince's House came up and scolded Chief Feng as a vixen."

"Later, Chief Feng went to become a monk."

Jiang Qingning: "..."

Send Xiao Xun away.

Jiang Qingning felt a little hard to calm down. He never thought that Feng Ying, such a steely and tough guy, would be called a vixen by others, and he was chased to the house to scold him.

Jiang Qingning imagined the scene in her mind, and suddenly felt her scalp tingling.

It is even more unimaginable to think that Feng Ying was entangled by Xiao Li and finally became a monk helplessly.

But now that Xiao Li is married, Jiang Qingning dare not make a conclusion about his feelings for Feng Ying.

However, these are other people's business after all, Jiang Qingning thought it would be good to go to Guo'an Temple to see Feng Ying when he had time, and it was inconvenient for him to ask about the rest.

What he really cared about was Xiao Che's affairs.

Xiao Che managed to ascend to the throne, but he was unable to have an heir for a long time. Facing the pressure from the court, how long can he persist like this?

Jiang Qingning thought about it for Xiao Che, and felt extremely difficult.

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the palace will also hold a Mid-Autumn feast.

After Jiang Qingning recuperated for a few days, she entered the palace normally on this day.

Sitting together with other officials, listening to singing and dancing, admiring the moon, and watching others talking and laughing happily, Jiang Qingning couldn't help but feel a little sad.

He remembered the matter of helping Xiao Xun and the matter of Xiao Che's heir in his heart, so he couldn't help raising his head and sneaking a few glances at Xiao Che.

Just thinking about how to find an opportunity to meet Xiao Che in private today, Han Yun suddenly came over and whispered to him: "Master Jiang, His Majesty asked you to come over to him and said that he has something to ask you."

Jiang Qingning was curious: "What does Your Majesty want to ask?"

Han Yun shook his head: "I don't know about this, Mr. Jiang, you should have known it in the past."

Jiang Qingning stood up: "Okay."

Under the looking eyes of other officials, Jiang Qingning bit the bullet and walked in front of Xiao Che, who was at the top.

Xiao Che sat on the dragon chair, high above the ground, with a cold expression and did not look at him.

Jiang Qingning knelt on the ground and said: "My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sheng'an."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Che finally turned his head to look at him, with some unclear sarcasm in his expression.

Jiang Qingning waited curiously for Xiao Che to ask him a question: "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask me?"

Xiao Che stared coldly at his kneeling back, held back for a long time, and finally said: "You just peeped at Gu several times just now, are you still ruthless, peeping at Gu, secretly in love with Gu?"
