How dare the cannon fodder be arrogant

Perhaps it was the imperial concubine's "cousin" who suddenly appeared on the dragon bed two days ago that made Xiao Jue feel uneasy. Compared with stumbling Xiao Lingfeng, the emperor these two days obviously cared more about his own safety.

Therefore, during this period of time, although the atmosphere in the palace was very tense, for Xiao Lingfeng and Zhuang Qingyue, it was a rare comforting calm.

Until the court meeting three days later.

Before dawn, Ding Yue knocked on the door.

A few days ago, life was so comfortable that Xiao Lingfeng not only saved the arrangement of martial arts training in the morning, but even his body's habitual routine was almost disrupted.

"My lord, are you going to get up?" Ding Yue whispered outside, "Today you have to go to court."

No one in the house answered.

Ding Yue continued to knock on the door with a bitter face.

Tuk tuk, tuk tuk.

Xiao Lingfeng in the room was half asleep and half awake, his brows were frowned by the constant knocking on the door, and he always felt that the person outside was like a fly and couldn't stop for a moment.

So she turned over, hugged Zhuang Qingyue tightly with the quilt, and buried her hairy head into Zhuang Qingyue's neck.

Smelling the fragrance of the bitter medicine on Zhuang Qingyue's body, and listening to his shallow and long breathing, Xiao Lingfeng fell asleep again in a daze.

Ding Yue outside the house listened attentively to the movement in the house.

—Movement is the absence of any movement.

He sighed, and turned his back against the door, his face full of bitterness.

Xi Le beside him also knew that the prince hadn't been called up, so she approached him and asked in a low voice, "Master, what should we do now?"

Ding Yue looked up at the sky, thinking that if the prince gets up later, it will really be too late.

But there is no other way, it is rare for the prince to stay in bed so twice, can he still rush in and splash the prince with cold water to wake him up?

I'm afraid I don't want to die.

His heart was bent, why not just let the morning meeting start later?

After all, this is the first time the prince has participated in the court meeting since he was still in court, and the first time it was too late, it would more or less cause people to gossip.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Ding Yue rubbed his hands together and said, "Let's go, let's find something for the emperor to do."

He glanced at Xi Le: "By the way, check how your lightness kung fu is doing."

Xi Le immediately became excited when she heard the words.

If Master Ding Yue passes the inspection, he can learn some more subtle footwork based on the basics.

So the master and the apprentice did what they said, and they went up to the roof one after another with a sigh of relief, hiding their figures in the darkness.

It was very dark at this moment, and it was the coldest and freezing time of night.The ministers who went to court hadn't gone out yet, and the occasional few people on the road also huddled their bodies and bowed their heads, hurrying along.

No one noticed the two figures scurrying on the roof at all.

The two of them didn't go directly to the palace, but went around several alleys, and finally turned into an unremarkable house.

The two had just landed when a black shadow flashed out from the slanting thorns.

Xi Le was startled, and before she could make a move, she was cornered by the two fighting.

He suddenly raised his head, but saw that although the two men fought with great momentum and their moves were surging like wind and thunder, they did not kill.

The expression on Ding Yue's face could even be called relaxed.

"Second Huo!"

After a few rounds, Ding Yue laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, General Huo's skill is getting better and better."

The attack of the two slowed down.

The corners of Huo Qing's lips curled up: "It's not bad. General Ding didn't give in too much."

They had a hearty fight in the shortest time, and both of them felt very happy when they finished.

"What are you looking for me for?" Huo Qing pushed open the door of his room and let Ding Yue and Xi Le in.

When the door was closed, Ding Yue glanced back and forth at him: "Why did you come back from outside?"

This Huo Qing didn't look tired when he fought against him, but when he entered the room, under the light of the candle, he saw the blue stubble protruding from Huo Qing's chin.

Obviously not much rest.

Huo Qing wiped his face when he noticed his gaze, and explained: "The emperor has been feeling uneasy recently, and he must be guarded when he rests at night. Now the emperor is about to get up, so I have time to come back and change clothes."

"Going forward and going back," he added.

Ding Yue was delighted when he heard it, isn't it just right!

He took out a small white paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Huo Qing's hand: "Hey! It's a coincidence, brother, I happen to have something to trouble you here."

At first glance, the white paper bag was not something that could be displayed openly.Huo Qing showed doubts: "What are the orders from the prince and son?"

Ding Yue's eyes wandered for a moment.

"This...not really. The emperor drugged the prince a few days ago, which almost made him a big mistake. You know that too."

He said in a deep voice, "As subordinates, we want to vent this anger on behalf of the prince."

Huo Qing was dubious, pinched the small paper bag and asked, "What's in it?"

Ding Yue: "Crotou."

Huo Qing was choked by his own saliva, and after coughing violently for a while, he took a deep breath and looked at Ding Yue: "Ding Yue, I really have you."

Ding Yue's expression remained unchanged: "Anyway, it's fine if the emperor can't go to court today."

After talking to Huo Qing a few words, seeing that it was getting late, Ding Yue got up and gave him a fist, and then left with joy.

On the way back, Xi Le could not hold back the curiosity in her heart: "Master, what is Croton?"

In the palace...

Without Ding Yue's interruption, Xiao Lingfeng slept soundly with the person in his arms.However, when he fell asleep, he realized that something was wrong.

He opened his eyes, his eyes were confused for a moment and gradually cleared up.

Today, it seems, is the day of the court meeting?

However, when he saw the bright sky coming in from the window, he felt a little more uncertain.

Since he was going to court, why didn't Ding Yue call him?

He lowered his gaze, just in time to catch a glimpse of Zhuang Qingyue's peaceful sleeping face and a short section of snow-white neck in his arms.

The suspicion in his eyes dissipated, Xiao Lingfeng swallowed, thinking, anyway, he won't be able to catch up, so it's better to stay warm in bed for a while longer.

After all, it's winter, who wants to get up early to enjoy the cold wind.

Just as he was thinking, the person in his arms struggled, turned over to face him, then paused, and opened his eyes suddenly.

"You didn't go to court?" Zhuang Qingyue looked surprised.

Xiao Lingfeng: "No."

He looked at Zhuang Qingyue: "Are you awake?"

Zhuang Qingyue yawned and got into his arms again: "It's okay."

Xiao Lingfeng: "Why not?"

As soon as the words started, Zhuang Qingyue's skill covered her face, and her tone was simply non-negotiable: "Don't think about it."

Apparently he had had enough of being tortured.

Xiao Lingfeng pulled down the hand covering his face, grabbed the fingertips and put them to his lips, kissed him, and couldn't help laughing.

Ding Yue, who was waiting outside the door, heard the commotion in the room, immediately lifted his spirits, and lightly knocked on the door twice: "My lord, are you going to get up?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ding Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

Pushing open the door, Xile brought a copper basin of hot water for the two to wash.

Xiao Lingfeng glanced at Ding Yue and asked him, "Why didn't you call me at the court meeting today?"

Ding Yue paused as he set up the breakfast, but he still gritted his teeth and told the truth: "Report to the lord, my subordinate called... but didn't wake you up."

Xiao Lingfeng was a little embarrassed.

Ding Yue said again: "But don't worry, my lord, today's court meeting has been cancelled, and it will be made up tomorrow."

Xiao Lingfeng felt relieved upon hearing this.

Ask again: "Why cancel?"

Ding Yue hesitated for a while, and decided to hide the other half of the truth: "I don't know, my subordinates will go and find out."
