Chapter 63 My Duke Ding is getting more and more ignorant

Prince An fell into a coma at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. Doctor Xiao Jumao came to diagnose and treat him, and asked people to find out why Prince An fell into the water.

Xiao Chengjin lay pale on the bed, Princess An Qin You had already changed into dry clothes for him, but his body was still wet and looked extremely thin and weak.

Xiao Jumao never expected that it was Princess An who went into the water to rescue so many palace people in the imperial garden, which made him feel quite guilty, so he hurriedly asked someone to find a set of dresses for Princess An to change into.

Qin You changed her dress, thanked Xiao Jumao, then sat by the bed with tears in her eyes, holding Xiao Chengjin's little hand, with worried eyes.

"The Imperial Physician has already gone down to make a decoction, so Princess An needn't worry too much." Xiao Jumao paused, and then said, "I have sent someone to inform King An, and he should be here soon."

Qin You thanked Xiao Jumao in a low voice again, and silently looked at Xiao Chengjin.

After a while, Zhao Quan entered the hall and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the slaves have asked the palace servants who were on duty in the Royal Garden at that time, and they all said that the young prince accidentally fell into the water by the pond, and there was no one around at that time."

Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan looked at each other, and continued to ask: "Then why didn't anyone go into the water to rescue them, but let the dignified Princess An go into the water herself?"

Zhao Quan replied: "Before they had time to rescue them, Concubine An jumped off the pond and rescued Prince An's son."

Qin You heard the words and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, it is the concubines who care about children, so they found out earlier than them, no wonder they did."

Xiao Jumao nodded, "Since Princess An interceded for them, then I won't punish them anymore, you go down first."

Zhao Quan retreated respectfully.

Xiao Chengjin woke up leisurely on the bed, opened her misty eyes and saw Qin You, and obediently called out "Mother Concubine".

Qin You held his little hand tightly, "Is there any pain in your body?"

Xiao Chengjin shook her little head and said softly, "Concubine Mu, I don't feel pain."

Xiao Jumao looked at his well-behaved appearance from the side, and he was very fond of him, so he leaned over to tease him, "Cheng Jin, I will drink very bitter medicine later, don't cry."

Xiao Chengjin opened her big black grape-like eyes, looked at Xiao Jumao, and said seriously: "I don't cry, Uncle Emperor, I never cry when I drink medicine."

"Have you ever taken medicine before?"

"Ok!"

Qin You explained: "This child was born with many disasters and disasters. He fell ill twice in three days. It took a few years for him to get better. Unexpectedly, this time he fell into the water and fell ill again." She said with her eyes rolling Already red.

"Princess An don't need to worry, the imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious, and you will be fine after drinking the medicine." Xiao Jumao comforted her softly.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Chengjin suddenly started giggling, with curved eyebrows and eyes, really cute.

Xiao Jumao finally felt relieved when he saw that his vitality had recovered a little.

At this time, the imperial physician brought the medicine, Qin You reached out to take it, and personally fed Xiao Chengjin the medicine. Xiao Chengjin was so obedient, even though his little face was twisted into a ball due to bitterness, he did not refuse the spoon that was handed over again.

After drinking the medicine, Xiao Jumao personally fed him candied fruit, stroked his little head, and smiled very gently, "Cheng Jin is so good." Much better than when he was a child.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengjin smiled happily, "Thank you, Uncle Huang." Father and king had never praised him like that, nor hugged him or touched his head.

It would be great if the uncle was his father.

Xiao Chengjin was thinking about far-fetched things, and gradually fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.

After a while, Zhao Quan reported that King An was asking to see him outside the hall.

Xiao Jumao immediately let him in.

There was some thin sweat on King An's forehead. After entering the hall, he first bowed to Xiao Jumao, and then went to visit Xiao Chengjin by the bed, and asked Qin You: "What's the matter?"

Qin You blessed Fu's body, lowered his eyes and replied: "There is no serious problem, it is the concubine who did not take good care of Jin'er, which made the prince worry."

Wang An sighed softly, "What are you talking about? I'm not Jin'er's father anymore?"

Xiao Jumao coughed lightly, and said: "Princess An jumped into the pond herself to save Cheng Jin. Her kind mother's heart is touching, so there is no need for Concubine An to blame herself."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately expressed worry, "Are you alright?"

Qin You shook his head, "What can I do? But I would like to thank Your Majesty for allowing the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Jin'er in time, and also ordered the palace servants to change the clothes of the concubine."

Xiao Yi's hand that was about to help Qin You stopped for an instant, then reached out and patted the back of her hand, "I was so worried about Jin'er, I didn't notice that you changed your clothes." He turned around again as he spoke , saluted Xiao Jumao, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Xiao Jumao rolled his eyes and smiled, "They are all a family. Cheng Jin is also my nephew. What's more, Cheng Jin fell into the water in the imperial garden. I have a certain responsibility for what happened in the palace."

An Wang and his wife immediately stated that they had nothing to do with Xiao Jumao.

Xiao Jumao finally rewarded them with some treasures to appease them, and then returned to Jingquan Palace with Tan Shiguan.

Because Xiao Chengjin was still asleep, Wang An and his wife could only rest in the palace overnight.

Xiao Jumao sat on the bed, put a pair of long legs on Tan Shiguan's, and the man massaged him.

"Why did Xiao Chengjin fall into the water in the imperial garden?" Xiao Jumao didn't quite understand. After all, the palace people present said that Xiao Chengjin was not too close to the pool at that time, and unless he rushed in by himself, it would be very difficult for him to fall. .

While rubbing his legs, Tan Shiguan lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'll know when I visit Shizi tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jumao looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Tan Shiguan nodded and did not speak.

Xiao Jumao's curiosity was aroused by him, and he stretched out his hand to push him, "Say it quickly!"

Tan Shiguan raised his head and smiled, with a strong sense of seduction.

Xiao Jumao pulled his leg back, put his hand on his shoulder, kissed him on the face, and hummed softly: "Don't be foolish, tell me quickly."

Tan Shiguan held his hand, "Let's go test it out tomorrow morning and we'll find out."

Xiao Jumao glared at him, "Didn't you still not say that?"

Tan Shiguan laughed softly, his handsome brows were stained with affection, and he coaxed: "How can it be so easy to say the way of the humble minister?"

Xiao Jumao knew that he was teasing and thought it was funny, so he followed his will, tilted his head and approached him, kissed him on the lips, then glanced at him, kissed him again, and said: "Now we should say right?"

Tan Shiguan understood the principle of enough is enough, so he nodded and said: "It stands to reason that no one should attack Prince An in the Royal Garden, but he fell into the water. After he fell into the water, Princess An found out immediately and jumped off the pond Rescue the prince. The mother who cares about the child will usually panic when she sees the child falling into the water for no reason, or she will anger the palace officials after being rescued, but she has nothing, and even intercedes for them after you want to punish the palace officials , which is a little unreasonable."

The more Xiao Jumao listened to him, the more he frowned, "So?"

"So, she may have known that the son will fall into the water." Tan Shiguan said firmly.

The more Xiao Jumao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, "Then how did Cheng Jin fall into the water? How did she know?"

Tan Shiguan got up and poured him a cup of hot tea, and said, "Qin You's father is a forward who joined Qin Xiao, and she is the daughter of a general. It is normal for her to know some martial arts. Moreover, Qin Xiao's skill with concealed weapons is considered a skill." Qin You will more or less learn one or two unique skills."

"You mean, Qin You deliberately used a hidden weapon to hit the acupuncture points on Cheng Jin's body, causing Cheng Jin to fall into the water?" Xiao Jumao shook his head, "But what's the reason for her doing so?"

"When a mother chooses to hurt her child, it must be to protect the child's greater interests." Tan Shiguan gave him a sip of tea, "Don't think about it, you will see the outcome tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jumao felt a little heavy. If Qin You really did it by herself, then what exactly was she planning?

In the palace not far from here, Qin You sat upright by the bed, staring at Xiao Chengjin with downcast eyes, there was worry in his eyes, but more of self-blame and guilt.

"Why did Jin'er fall into the water?" An Wang Xiaoyi asked with a cold face.

Qin You stretched out his hand to twist the quilt for Xiao Chengjin, without raising his head, he murmured: "It's my concubine's poor health, so I couldn't take good care of him."

Xiao Yi really couldn't see her cowardly appearance, and felt a little irritated in his heart, "You asked the emperor to notify me?"

He was originally busy, but the palace suddenly sent someone to send him into the palace. He thought that something serious had happened, but it turned out that Jin'er fell into the water.

"No, it's the emperor." Qin You replied in a low voice.

Xiao Yi said "Yes", "It's good that Jin'er is fine, and you don't take him out to play in the future, it's so dangerous outside."

"Yes."

Xiao Yi had nothing to talk to her at all, if it wasn't for the engagement he had since childhood, he wouldn't have married such a boring woman.When he was newly married, Qin You was not bad, he came from the general family, and he had a forthright personality, which was quite to his liking.

But later, I don’t know what happened, maybe the life in the backyard has worn her temper, she began to become rigid and polite, and felt tired every time she couldn’t say three sentences, and as time passed, he stopped paying attention to this matter. The concubine is gone.

"Forget it, I'll go to rest first, you take good care of Jin'er." Xiao Yi said, then flung his sleeves and went into the side hall to sleep.

Qin You still maintained a straight posture, with an extremely dull expression on his face.

Early the next morning, Xiao Jumao visited Xiao Chengjin before the morning court.When he went, Xiao Chengjin was obediently drinking medicine, seeing Xiao Jumao, his big eyes lit up, "Uncle Huang!"

Xiao Jumao was walking away with a smile when he met Xiao Yi coming out of the side hall, Xiao Yi bowed to him when he saw him.

Qin You fed the last spoonful of soup into Xiao Chengjin's mouth, put down the bowl, and prepared to dress him.

Xiao Jumao suddenly took a step forward and said with a gentle smile: "Cheng Jin, how about Uncle Huang dressing you?"

Wang An and his wife said in unison: "Your Majesty, you can't do it!"

Xiao Jumao didn't care about them, he shook off Xiao Chengjin's little clothes, his eyes were sincere and loving, "Cheng Jin, would the emperor give you clothes?" He really loved this little nephew in his heart, although he only saw these few times, But the little nephew's well-behaved and sensible appearance is really distressing.

Xiao Chengjin was young, how could he know those etiquettes?He happily replied: "Yes!"

His father has never worn clothes for him, so it's better to treat the uncle as his father.

Xiao Yi was about to say something, but Xiao Jumao had already started to dress Xiao Chengjin up, but this was his first time serving someone, and his movements were a bit clumsy, and he couldn't see it all the time, so he had to help together, and the two gradually cooperated tacitly , just like an ordinary couple dressing their children.

Xiao Yi stood dryly by the side, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

Qin You's eyes were calm. The emperor and Ding Guogong helped to dress together. There is no such lucky person in the whole country, right?

Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan finally finished the task with difficulty, and it happened that the morning time was up, so they left the hall in a hurry and walked all the way to Qiankun Hall.

"There are indeed traces of being hit by a hidden weapon on Shizi's leg." Tan Shiguan said in a low voice.

Xiao Jumao sighed lightly, "What is Qin You's plan for this move?"

"No matter what her intentions are, since she has intentionally sent us such a message, she will surely tell us eventually." Tan Shiguan felt that Qin You was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"You said she did it on purpose?" Xiao Jumao thought about the ins and outs of the matter, and felt that this statement had certain credibility.

Walking to Qiankun Hall, all the officials were already waiting in the hall, seeing Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan coming together, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they didn't show their stunned face.

After calling Long Live three times, Shao Zhengrong, Minister of Dali Temple, came out and said, "Report to the Emperor, someone has surrendered himself in Cai Jun's case."

Xiao Jumao came to his senses, "Who is it?"

"It's a businessman. He had some quarrels with Cai Jun, and he always had resentment, so he bribed the Jianghu killer and killed Cai Jun."

When the courtiers heard the words, they all talked about it.

"Is there any evidence?" Xiao Jumao tapped his index finger rhythmically on the armrest, his expression was calm, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

Shao Zhengrong replied: "Many neighbors can testify that this person has indeed had trouble with Cai Jun."

"Then who is the Jianghu killer?"

Shao Zhengrong began to sweat coldly on his forehead, "The rules of the world, hiring killers to kill people, never ask their names, as long as one party pays and the other party kills."

"Then why did Cai Jun go to the alley?"

"The businessman said that because he hated Cai Jun, he secretly followed him and found that he often had a tryst with a beautiful girl in that alley. He found out when Cai Jun went, so he hired someone to wait there and kill him. he."

It sounds like that.

Xiao Jumao's eyes darkened, "Since the man was killed and the government didn't find him, why did he turn himself in?"

"This..." Shao Zhengrong couldn't answer. If someone can surrender himself, he has already burned incense, so why should he surrender?As long as it closes the case.

Xiao Jumao said in a deep voice, "Is this how Dali Temple handles cases?"

Shao Zhengrong was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.

"Continue to investigate!" Xiao Jumao's voice echoed in Qiankun Hall and fell on the ears of the officials, like a thunderbolt.

In fact, it wasn't just Shao Zhengrong, but other people would more or less put some water in the process of handling government affairs, as long as they could hide it from the emperor.But now it seems that their young Emperor His Majesty saw their careful thoughts clearly. On the surface, he was speaking to Shao Zhengrong, but in fact he was also admonishing them.

Xiao Jumao's prestige in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger.

After coming down to court, Wang An and his wife led Xiao Chengjin to bid farewell to Xiao Jumao and returned to the palace.

After Xiao Jumao had breakfast, he went to the imperial study to review the memorials, while Tan Shiguan went out to deal with some affairs.

It was almost lunch time, Zhao Quan asked respectfully outside the imperial study, Xiao Jumao raised his head from the pile of memorials, put his pen down and relaxed his muscles, and asked, "Can Duke Ding go back to the palace?"

Zhao Quanxin said: "Hui Gong" is really too obvious to use.

"Never returned to the palace."

Xiao Jumao stood up from the dragon chair, went out of the imperial study, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and suddenly felt a longing in his heart: if only he could appreciate such a beautiful autumn scenery as he pleases.

Xiao Guo's great rivers and rivers, he hasn't seen them well yet.

"Your Majesty, do you want to serve dinner?"

Xiao Jumao was about to say, "Wait a minute, Duke Ding", when he saw a tall and tall figure approaching, the dignified official uniform set off his figure even more majestic and awe-inspiring, the man looked up and saw the imperial study room Xiao Jumao in front of the door couldn't help showing a smile, under the sun, he was as handsome as a person in a picture.

When Xiao Jumao saw him, he was overjoyed, and when he walked in front of him, he went back to Jingquan Palace with him, Zhao Quan prepared the meal, and walked out of the palace gate with a wink.

"After reading the memorial all morning, my back hurts." Xiao Jumao grumbled while biting a fish ball, frowning.

"I'll rub it for you after the meal is finished." Tan Shiguan waited for him to swallow the fish balls, then handed him a spoonful of clear soup.

Xiao Jumao opened his mouth and drank, "Well, what can I find out when I go out of the palace today?"

"I didn't hear anything useful about Princess An, but I heard that Jiang Ling is getting engaged."

Xiao Jumao was almost choked by the soup, he coughed a few times, his eyes widened, and asked: "Isn't Jiang Ling with Chen Feng...they...if he is engaged, wouldn't Chen Feng be very sad?"

Tan Shiguan patted him on the back, "I don't know."

Xiao Jumao sighed in his heart, and then he had a heart of gossip, "Which daughter is the one who is engaged to Jiang Ling?"

"Shen Yu, the daughter of Shen Hui."

Xiao Jumao smiled, "It seems that Qi Anbo still loves Jiang Ling, the youngest son."

Tan Shi nodded his head, and continued: "However, Qi Anbo went to the Marquis of Weiyuan to drag Jiang Ling back, and Jiang Ling had a big fight with him."

"Haha," Xiao Jumao found it interesting to hear these ordinary family affairs, "Jiang Ling doesn't understand Qi Anbo's love for his son."

When Tan Shi saw that he was happy listening, his heart also felt refreshed.

"How about Shen Yu?" Xiao Jumao asked while eating.

Tan Shiguan removed the fishbone for him, put the fish meat into his bowl, and said: "It is said that he is a bit savage."

"Then Jiang Ling must have suffered." Xiao Jumao gloated, looked at Tan Shiguan again, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Duke Ding is smart and sensible, otherwise I would have a headache."

Tan Shiguan never cared about the advantage he took, and just continued to pick fishbone.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiao Jumao said, "I just said that I was smart and sensible, but someone ignored me, and I lost my appetite."

Tan Shiguan had no choice but to reply: "I am flattered to be praised by Your Majesty."

Xiao Jumao bent his eyes and smiled, leaned over and kissed him on the face, intentionally rubbing his face with greasy dirt, Tan Shiguan naturally didn't care, Xiao Jumao saw him so calm, so he dirty him again The other half of the face.

Tan Shiguan met his smug gaze, quickly reached out to grab the back of Xiao Jumao's head, bowed his head to cover his chaotic lips, and lingered on it.Xiao Jumao closed his eyes and opened his lips, kissing him deeply naturally.

Kissing, the breath of the two of them was completely confused, Tan Shiguan stretched out his arms to pick him up while kissing, and walked to the edge of the dragon bed.

As soon as Xiao Jumao's back touched the quilt, his mind cleared up. He stretched out his hand to touch Tan Shiguan's chest, panting: "The sun is still high."

Tan Shiguan knelt and sat beside him, smiled, "Didn't Your Majesty ask me to rub your back for you?"

Xiao Jumao's face turned red immediately, he pulled up the quilt to cover himself, thinking to himself: Duke Ding is really getting more and more ignorant.
