Xiao Jingyuan shook his head, "There are no clues at present. Only the three of us know about this matter. It is impossible for anyone in the palace to know. If the person who gave the medicine had his heart in mind, he will definitely be helpless when I return to the palace. , I will make a move, and at that time, I will know who did it."

"But you are away on this trip, there are many dangers, if something happens to you..." Si Ruihan said with a frown.

"You get what you give, just be more careful." Xiao Jingyuan took a few steps forward and stood beside Si Ruihan.

"Please keep this matter a secret." Hearing this, Zhou Cinian nodded.

"Naturally, I will detoxify you if necessary in the future." After speaking, Zhou Cinian turned and left.

Si Ruihan glanced at the completely extinguished incense and sighed, "Don't burn it anymore in the future. If you are depressed and can't sleep all night, let Ci Nian prescribe a prescription for you, drink some nourishing decoction."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, as long as you are by my side, I can rest well." Xiao Jingyuan said with a smile.

For Xiao Jingyuan to say such words very tenderly, Si Ruihan was not surprised, he just glanced at the other party, "I remember the time when Concubine Hui sent someone to inform her that she was sick, but you said that you are not proficient in medicine , could it be more useful than the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, it is more appropriate to give this to you now."

Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and took a step forward, "You have learned to talk back, am I too lenient?"

"Otherwise, you want to punish me?" Si Ruihan said with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Jingyuan smacked his mouth, took a step back and shook his head, "Don't dare."

Si Ruihan was made to laugh a little by his appearance, Xiao Jingyuan also smiled, and when he got up, he pressed his arm with his hand, "My arm still hurts."

Si Ruihan then walked to the side and took the golden sore medicine, "Take the medicine on time, do you need others to worry about your own injury?"

"That's natural. I care about you with all my heart, and I don't care about my own affairs at all. If you ignore me, then I will be miserable, so I have no choice but to play tricks and ask you to care about me." Xiao Jingyuan said.

Si Ruihan glanced at him, didn't say much, just quietly applied the medicine for Xiao Jingyuan, his slightly long hair fell down gently, covering his eyebrows, Xiao Jingyuan looked at him quietly, and smiled softly.

"However, in Ruihan's memory, have you ever behaved abnormally in my previous life?" Xiao Jingyuan asked with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Jingyuan's words made Si Ruihan pause slightly, "I don't remember."

Xiao Jingyuan curled his lips, but his heart was like a bright mirror. In his previous life, he found out that the Empress Dowager had attacked him, and it was when he was still young. However, at that time, he did not find the secret hidden in his body. , only as poisoned.

Now it seems that there seems to be an explanation. In the previous life, I had never made a southern tour, let alone handed over the power to the empress dowager. Therefore, his mother and concubine were more willing to control him than get rid of him. After all, changing someone may not It is easier to control than to be obedient.

In my new life, I have done such a deviant thing, so I have to give myself a warning. If I kill myself, I will change the dynasty and change the control. If I can't kill myself, it can also cause trouble. There is a reason for motivation.

Xiao Jingyuan was meditating, and Si Ruihan also recalled the scenes from his previous life. It was the first winter of Xiao Jingyuan's reign. At that time, the relationship between him and Xiao Jingyuan was not deadlocked, and the other party would come to him from time to time. Playing chess, sipping tea and eating, but everything started to go to another extreme after that incident.

At dinner time, Teng Hui Pavilion

In the middle of the night, when Si Ruihan was standing by the desk and had just finished practicing calligraphy, Xiao Jingyuan strode in, raised his eyes and looked at each other, and Si Ruihan found that the other person seemed a little strange.

There was deep anger in the scarlet eyes, and his hands were clasped tightly by his sides. Apart from the cold dew staining his whole body, there seemed to be a rising chill.

"Your Majesty." Si Ruihan came out from behind the table and saluted.

Xiao Jingyuan stared at him, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly and dragged him outside, directly to the front hall. At this time, there was still the dinner prepared by Si Ruihan on the table.

As soon as Xiao Jingyuan saw this, he let go of his hand, walked over a few steps, overturned the table, there was a clanging sound for a while, the palace people inside and outside the house knelt down and dared not make a sound.

Si Ruihan didn't know why Xiao Jingyuan got angry. Seeing the other party's agitation, he could only kneel down, waiting for the other party to finish his anger before asking.

After overturning the table, Xiao Jingyuan turned his head and saw Si Ruihan kneeling there, "Get out of here."

Soon, only Si Ruihan and Xiao Jingyuan were left in the room. He walked over step by step, leaned over and looked at each other, "Do you have anything to explain to me? Talk!"

explain?Si Ruihan thought about it for a while, he really had nothing to explain, he didn't do anything this day, and if it was something about the prime minister's residence, no news reached his ears.

"Why, don't you know? You don't know what to explain?" Xiao Jingyuan grabbed Si Ruihan's shoulder and asked Zhen.

"Did you meet Concubine Jin in the Imperial Garden today?" Xiao Jingyuan asked in a deep voice.

Si Ruihan was taken aback, and frowned, "Is the emperor annoyed by this matter? Kechen and Concubine Jin met by accident, and didn't say a few words."

"Speak, you dare to talk to her." Xiao Jingyuan said angrily.

Si Ruihan was even more puzzled, "I am the empress, and it is my duty to stabilize the harem. If I meet anyone and ignore them, how do I manage them?"

"Good, good, good." Xiao Jingyuan said three good things in a row, then turned around and kicked down the stool beside him.

He took out a somewhat blackened handkerchief from his arms, turned around and threw it in front of Si Ruihan, "Since you are upright and not afraid of the shadow, why did you ask Fu Ling to secretly take this handkerchief and burn it?"

Si Ruihan wanted to pick up the handkerchief to have a look, but Xiao Jingyuan angrily went over and stepped on it, "Don't touch it."

Si Ruihan could only sigh, "Your Majesty, this handkerchief belongs to Concubine Jin."

"You admitted it, you..." Xiao Jingyuan said.

Si Ruihan just felt tired, "What did I admit, the emperor doesn't even give me a chance to finish speaking now? Then the emperor can leave, and I don't need to explain."

Xiao Jingyuan took a deep breath, but his expression seemed to be better than before, "Say it."

"The veil belonged to Concubine Jin, but it was Concubine Jin who dropped it in the Imperial Garden. I was afraid that this veil would be picked up by someone with a heart and would affect Concubine Jin's reputation, so I asked Fu Ling to pick it up. If I ordered someone to send it, it would inevitably fall into someone's hands." Let Fu Ling take it and burn it secretly, that's all." Si Ruihan said.

"You do care about her." Xiao Jingyuan said with a wooden face.

"Your majesty." Si Ruihan opened his mouth helplessly, "I don't care about her, I just don't want to cause troubles for the emperor for no reason. Concubine Jin's mother family is a new general in the dynasty. If something happens to her, it will be a big deal for the emperor." I can't stop worrying."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, then looked down at Si Ruihan, and stretched out his hand after a long silence, "Get up."

Si Ruihan got up, Xiao Jingyuan turned his head to look at the mess on the ground, a little annoyed, "Stop doing things like this in the future."

"I know." Si Ruihan stared at Xiao Jingyuan for a while, and suppressed the sourness in his heart. After all, he didn't completely trust him.

This was the first abnormality that Xiao Jingyuan experienced in Si Ruihan's memory, and after that, Xiao Jingyuan began to gradually separate himself from doubts again and again, and even asked him to finish his sentence as he said. No chance was given.

After such an ups and downs, the sky was already bright, and the two of them were not sleepy. Xiao Jingyuan and Si Ruihan left together. There was no longer the marriage contract restriction of martial arts competitions to recruit relatives. In addition, Zhou Cixin fell into the eyes of the emperor. The two of them It was quite reasonable to leave with Xiao Jingyuan.

At the same time, in the courtyard last night, Xiao Qingyang was lying on his back on the ground, covered with Mu Yilan's black clothes. He slowly raised his hand to cover the light from the dilapidated roof. Last night's madness was still the same. clear.

After several twists and turns, Xiao Jingyuan and his party finally got rid of the hidden guards of Zhen'an Palace. After walking for a while, they came to Qiyan Town, which is not far from Fengtai Town, but far less affluent than that.

As soon as the four of them led the horses into the town, they saw a few yamen servants coming out of a restaurant. Behind them, a middle-aged man with his hands tied to his chest with a rope was dragging Stumbled out.

"What are you looking at, do you want to be whipped?" The leader of the yamen servant said with a stern face and a vicious look.

At this time, a woman and a young man ran out from the side of the road. When the woman saw the middle-aged man who was tied up, she fell to the ground crying, "Master, sir."

But the young man frowned, "My lords, I don't know what crime my father committed and why he treated him like this. Isn't it unreasonable to tie him up as he says in broad daylight."

"Tianli?"

The leading yamen servant, holding a whip in his hand, beat his palm a few times, "In Qiyan Town, what the county magistrate said is the law of heaven. Zhao Yuanyi swallowed grain privately, trying to drive up grain prices, earn ill-gotten gains, and colluded with Hanoi to transport grain. An official, trying to embezzle the Mo court’s disaster relief funds, these crimes are not enough for his own life.”

The woman rolled her eyes and passed out as soon as she heard it. The young man stepped forward to give her a hand, raised his head and said, "There is no evidence for what you say, and you have no evidence. Zhao's grain workshop has always been fair in price, and now it's not worth it." The price has not been raised, and the grain storage is only to help the people at that time, it is definitely not the absurd words you said."

"Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, hit me." The leader of the yamen servant, seeing the people around him pointing fingers, suddenly became angry, swiped his whip, and said sharply.

"Stop." Xiao Jingyuan said lightly, and the four of them walked out from the crowd.
