She only wants to do infrastructure construction

"In the current situation, I'll go to the palace to have a look first, and you wait at home."

Xiao Jiuxi had a rare serious expression.

Li Yewu also knew that she was not acting recklessly, so she nodded: "Be careful."

"Okay." Xiao Jiuxi pulled Li Yewu into his arms and kissed her on the cheek: "Just stay here, don't go out for now."

"Don't worry." Li Yewu was unusually well-behaved.

Xiao Jiuxi glanced at Xiao Xiyu in her arms again, then sighed slightly, and walked outside.

Before leaving, I did not forget to say to the old housekeeper: "This place is handed over to the old housekeeper."

"Master, don't worry." The old butler nodded. Although he said that he had not been in the capital for many years, he still had some contacts.

If there is an emergency, you can temporarily protect the princess and the little prince.

Li Yewu didn't understand the subtext of the master and servant, and only regarded Xiao Jiuxi as an ordinary confession, and looked at the direction Xiao Jiuxi left with a little worry.

It took her a while to look back and sigh slightly.

"Everyone has worked hard on the road, so let's go to rest."

"Yes, I will invite the princess later when the food is ready." The old housekeeper nodded kindly.

Li Yewu nodded and carried Xiao Xiyu into the room.

Although Xiao Jiuxi doesn't go back to the house often, there are people sweeping here all the year round, and the house is in the cleanest state without much tidying up.

The servants of the mansion are quite respectful to this side princess who has never met before, after all, just now the prince's eyes are all over her in the living room, which has already fallen into the eyes of all the servants.

They are all good people, so they naturally know who to mess with and who not to mess with.

What's more, this concubine gave birth to the prince's eldest son. Before she was the main concubine, she was the most noble woman in the mansion.

However, Li Yewu didn't care about everyone's surrender and favor. Xiao Jiuxi once said that all his confidants were brought to Taihe Prefecture. Although those in the city are sincere, they may not be exchanged with their lives.

Although Xiao Jiuxi just said it casually, Li Yewu put it in his heart, so there is no need to be too heart-to-heart.

Li Yewu carried Xiao Xiyu back to the room, and Zicui Xima started to make soup.

Xiao Xiyu also seemed to feel uneasy, he is usually very well-behaved, but today he was not very cooperative, as soon as he put him down on the bed, his mouth shrunk and he wanted to cry.

Li Yewu pinched his cheek helplessly: "My dear son, don't make trouble, I don't have time to play with you right now."

"Hey..." Xiao Xiyu's face was full of grievances, and he waved his small fists with a look of unwillingness.

Li Yewu couldn't see how cute he was, so he could only hug and coax him.

Until he was cleansed in vain, he was still crying.

But it was also because of the crying of children that the mansion gained a little popularity.

……

When Li Yewu was coaxing the little ancestor, the ancestor's father had already rushed into the palace.

All the guards in the palace recognized him, and no one dared to stop him when they saw him.

In this way, Xiao Jiuxi arrived in front of Tai'an Hall unimpeded.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the front yard of Tai'an Hall, he saw a familiar figure kneeling there.

Perhaps it was because of kneeling for three days straight, Xiao Zhe, who was always upright and upright, hunched slightly, his face was full of vicissitudes and fatigue, and even the stubble had grown a lot, looking so embarrassed.

Xiao Jiuxi frowned, just as he was about to step forward, someone stopped him.

It's Eunuch Qian.

"My lord, no. Your Majesty is upright, don't get involved in the matter of the king of the mountain."

Xiao Jiuxi frowned. Normally, he wouldn't care about what's good or bad, but now that he has a wife and children behind him, he can't be careless.

Xiao Jiuxi sighed slightly, giving up the idea of ​​pulling Xiao Zhe up: "Eunuch Qian, can you inform Father Emperor for me, I want to see him."

"My lord, wait a moment." Eunuch Qian gave him a gratifying smile, and entered the Golden Luan Hall in front of him.

Not long after, the door opened, but it was not Eunuch Qian who came out, but a strange little eunuch.

He came out respectfully, bowed his hands to Xiao Jiuxi: "I report to His Royal Highness, Your Majesty asks you...to also kneel in the courtyard."

"?" Xiao Jiuxi looked in disbelief: "What do you want me to do?"

"Go to the yard and wait on your knees." The strange father-in-law was acquainted with each other once, and he hesitated the first time, but became much more straightforward when he said it the second time.

Xiao Jiuxi choked, and glanced at the hall without saying anything.

"Kneel and kneel."

It just so happens that he also wants to join in the excitement of the King of the Mountain, so he will treat it as his father's fulfillment.

He walked over in a good state of mind, and knelt down with a flick of his robe.

Xiao Jiuxi knelt here for a while, only to hear Xiao Zhe beside her breathing heavily, as if someone had choked her throat.

Xiao Jiuxi moved uncomfortably, and couldn't help but whisper: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Ze paid no attention.

Xiao Jiuxi clicked his tongue: "I said that you are already like this. Show weakness when it's time to show weakness. If you really can't stand it, just pretend to be dizzy. Why bother to suffer?"

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhe asked hoarsely. After three days of exposure to the sun without eating or drinking, his throat felt like it was on fire. It was dry, sore and uncomfortable.

I regretted it as soon as I spoke.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiuxi couldn't help but waved to the guard next to him: "Brother Nan, bring some water."

Brother Nan is the commander-in-chief of the guards with swords in front of the imperial court. He is a little older than them, and has been protecting them like a big brother.

Seeing Xiao Jiuxi approaching him to ask for water, Brother Nan felt embarrassed and distressed, so he could only say silently: "This subordinate dare not."

"Tsk, why are you so ignorant? The emperor just punished us to kneel, and didn't say that we can't eat, and I just want a little water, it doesn't matter."

"..." The audience was silent.

"Hurry up." Xiao Jiuxi urged again.

Brother Nan had nothing to do with him, sighed, and silently handed over his water bag.

Xiao Jiuxi smiled and winked at him: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he opened the water bag and poured it into Xiaozhe's mouth without saying a word.

Xiao Zhe was caught off guard and choked, almost swearing.

Xiao Jiuxi quickly covered his mouth with his eyes: "Don't make any noise, do you want Father to know?"

"..." Xiao Zhe stared deathly at Xiao Jiuxi speechlessly.

This idiot, what he did is obviously a good thing, so why can't people be grateful!
What he handed was not water, but a murderous knife.

It took a while for Xiao Zhe to regain his senses. His throat, which was already uncomfortable, became even more uncomfortable after being choked.

Seeing that Xiao Zhe didn't intend to curse, Xiao Jiuxi slowly let go of his hand.

"That... sorry, I thought of a surprise attack mainly because I was afraid that you would be too brave to drink water. If you cooperate well, nothing will happen."

"..." Xiao Zhe looked at the sky weakly, and said again: "Why are you here? Do you know what the consequences will be if you get involved?"

Xiao Jiuxi nodded half-understanding: "You think I'm here for you?"
