Sporadic lights had started to turn on in the palace, but Jing Yi's room was still silent.Xue Yao remembered that he hadn't seen him when he woke up today, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he decided to take a look.

In the Jingyi Room, it was extremely deserted. The sandalwood lit in the animal head incense burner was vortexed upwards, and then blown away by the wind and scattered in all directions. Covered with rusty long silk.There was a sword hanging on the wall. Xue Yao knew that it was his personal sword, and he didn't care about it when he was replaced by Jing Yi before, so he put it here.

Jing Yi Zhengduan was writing in gold lacquered lowercase script in front of the desk.Seeing that he wrote so earnestly stroke by stroke, Xue Yao didn't want to disturb him, so he took a breath and waited quietly.

Seeing the night outside the window getting darker, Jing Yi put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Are you awake?"

Xue Yao smiled, and handed over the tea from Zhuchun, "Your Highness, what are you writing about?"

Jing Yi took the teacup and took a sip, "The Empress Dowager's congratulatory gifts have not been received yet, I thought about it, I might as well copy a copy of the Lotus Sutra myself to be sincere."

Xue Yao: "This is very good. No matter how expensive a gift is, it is not as precious as a sincere one. I believe the Queen Mother will understand His Highness's filial piety."

Jing Yi: "Well, it makes sense. Then let the monk Yuancheng from Facheng Temple worship in front of the Buddha."

Xue Yao: "Your Highness is very thoughtful."

Jing Yi smiled jokingly, "Xi Nian, if you don't wake up, I'm afraid Xiao Ba will come to live in my palace at night."

When this matter was mentioned again, Xue Yao pretended not to understand, and thought for a while, "Your Highness, should we investigate the fake mob last night?"

When Jing Yi heard him mentioning this matter, his face was a little bad, "How to check, now almost everyone in Jinghua Palace is injured. You were also seriously injured. Let's investigate the fake mob after you recover. "

Xue Yao didn't expect that Jing Yi's attitude would be like this, "Your Highness, if we don't investigate, how will we know who is pretending to be a mob. Is their intention is you or the prince? What will their next plan be?" Yes, don't you want to know all this?"

Jing Yi lowered his head, making it difficult to see the expression on his face, "I don't want to know who is hurting me, as long as we don't leave the palace, no matter who it is, they will naturally not be able to hurt us."

"..." Xue Yao was speechless, "Could it be that you just want to be trapped in this palace for the rest of your life?"

"I grew up here since I was a child, and there is nothing wrong with dying here." Jing Yi said extremely calmly, "It's you, Xi Nian. When the new emperor ascends the throne, I think no one will harm you. By then , I will let you out."

What kind of nonsense are they talking about? Xue Yao was so startled that he almost bit his tongue.He knows that someone is harming him, but he just hides blindly and doesn't resist.This is really different from Xue Yao's style of doing things.He even suspected that the Jing Yi in front of him was completely different from the Jing Yi who forced him to enter the palace in the Wu Quan camp.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"

Jing Yi looked up at Xue Yao, "Xinian, I know what you're thinking, and I just hope you can live well."

Xue Yao despised such cowardice, "What if, I mean what if, the queen mother is gone? No one can protect you anymore?"

Jing Yi looked at Xue Yao in surprise, thanks to him being able to say such disrespectful words.After pondering for a while, he still replied seriously, "Then you go, I can't protect you anymore."

"..." Xue Yao really wanted to slap himself to death. Why did he have unrealistic hopes for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child? He couldn't agree with Jing Yi's thoughts at all, but he couldn't do anything about him , turned around and left angrily.

In the room, Hu Zi was arranging the food boxes he had just brought over.Still muttering, "There are meat and vegetables, plus the eight princess's soup, it's all done." Turning around and seeing Xue Yao come in, he pulled him to sit down at the table, "Brother, you are so awesome. It's time, just to eat." I just handed over the chopsticks, looked at Xue Yao's big bow, and smiled, "Come on, big brother, let me feed you, brother, eat more."

Xue Yao didn't know what he ate for a meal, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy Xue Yao became. It was really not his style to let others bully him.Then he pulled Hu Zi and asked, "How many hands and feet are there in our palace?"

When Huzi heard this, his face collapsed, "Don't mention it, we took everyone out last night, and everyone was injured. Now, except for the two gatekeepers, everyone else is recuperating. If we change shifts, There aren’t even enough goalkeepers, and I’ll have to take over later.”

"..." Originally, I wanted Huzi to go out and check it out, but from this point of view, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare it.

But it is really unsatisfactory.

At midnight, the entire palace was dead silent.

Except for a few faint lights in Jinghua Palace, it also fell into a deep sleep.In the room, Huzi had already gone to be on duty. Xue Yao slept too much during the day, and his head was clear at the moment.Seeing that the time was approaching, he changed into his night clothes, closed the door lightly, performed lightness kung fu, jumped onto the roof, and left the palace after a few leaps.

I have already inquired about it before, because of the heavy snowfall last year, many people affected by the disaster had to come to Xingdu.Earlier, the imperial court sent officials to appease them and arranged them in a village in the northern suburbs.However, the momentum of corruption in the imperial court has become a common practice. When the best government orders are implemented in the end, they will all become mud and sand into the sea, and they will not have half the effect.Because of this, there was a lot of ups and downs, and now there are no locals living in that village, and the people in several nearby villages have also moved out.These victims returned to their hometowns and had no land to grow, and no rice to cook in the industry. Naturally, they secretly robbed and robbed their homes.

Xue Yao went straight to the northern suburbs tonight.He wanted to find out whether it was the real rioters who caused the chaos.

After a few blocks, we arrived at the north of the city. The north of the city is a famous place for fireworks. Even in the middle of the night, there are songs and laughter, and the lights are as bright as stars.Xue Yao had no choice but to put away his movements and search for a dark place to pass through here.On the one hand, it was not too ostentatious, on the other hand, it was because he found a tail behind him.Ever since he left the palace, two people followed him. The other party was extremely cautious and kept a close distance.

Xue Yaoxin said, if I hadn't been injured and my movements were restricted, you three-legged cats would also want to catch up with me, it would be wishful thinking.
