Chapter 142 Waiting for him all night

Liang Xianyi returned at school night again.

Wenluo came forward to wait and changed his clothes, and another palace maid came in to serve tea.

He wiped his hands with a towel without hesitation, looking at the floor tiles indifferently, looking worried.

I walked up to him, tilted my head and smiled at him with my hands behind my back.

He glanced at me, then retracted his thoughts, left the towel to the palace maid, stretched out his hand to rub my hair, and said with a smile: "I told you to go to bed early, why are you waiting again?" As he spoke, he waved his hands and everyone All went down.

I took his sleeve and walked towards the square table and said, "You are running back and forth just to have a look at me. I went to bed early, and you have to go to court again the next morning. Let's continue together." I can't say anything anymore, can I be willing to go to sleep before you come back?"

The smile on his face gradually deepened, and his brows were bright and cheerful. He walked towards me obediently and said with a smile: "You are not modest. Who said you came just to see you? I am used to sleeping on my bed."

"Seriously?" I held a piece of water chestnut cake and brought it to his lips. He looked at me with burning eyes, opened his mouth to eat, but didn't stop. He bit my finger again, and my face felt hot. Forgetting the doubts in his heart, Yang gave him an angry look, sat down and took a piece of cake to eat.

He chuckled lightly, took the cake from me and ate it in one bite, saying, "Eat less cake. You will have to rest soon. Be careful of overeating."

"You want you to take care of me? I'll eat it!" I took another piece of cake, quickly stuffed it into my mouth and started chewing.

He smiled and pinched my swollen cheeks with both hands, rubbed them gently and said: "A husband is his wife, you must obey my husband in everything, why can't I control you?"

I was chewing something, my face was being rubbed by his hands, and the cake in my mouth was about to come out, so I kept saying vaguely: "It can be taken care of! It can be taken care of! You are still the emperor, who can't take care of it? ?”

As soon as these words came out of my mouth, I felt regretful in my heart. I obviously wanted to make him feel at ease, but why did I get around to this topic instead?
Sure enough, the smile on Liang Xianyi's face suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at me. His gaze was as deep as a pool of water. My heart suddenly trembled, and I swallowed the pastry in my mouth.

He was silent for a long time.

I whispered: "Dedication..."

He finally spoke, his voice as gentle as usual: "You know everything about the previous dynasty, right?" Although he was asking, his tone was affirmative.

I sighed softly: "I don't care about what happened in the past. I'm just afraid that you will get into trouble. The Queen Mother Xi must be unwilling to accept it, right? Otherwise, there is no need to do anything to deal with the orphans and widowed mothers."

"Orphans and widowed mothers? They are not innocent people who win over the weak. They are evil-minded." Liang Xianyi said coldly in a low voice with an expressionless face.

When King Jin's army broke through the city, Empress Dowager Xi led the late empress and the emperor's grandson to take refuge in Nanhaizi.

They were pursued by rebels on the road.

In danger, General Chang's men rescued him.

Empress Dowager Xi had no choice but to follow the trend and said personally that the emperor's grandson was young and that the emperor's uncle wanted the king to inherit the throne.However, the times were certain, and Empress Dowager Xi's party was unwilling to do so, and actually contacted Xu Ruitong, Cao Yanhong and other supporters of the late emperor in private.

He stirred up troubles between the government and the public, shaken the will of all officials, and spread the word that "the emperor should be succeeded by the former prince Yuan Shi."

I was shocked and said anxiously: "Are they so arrogant and bold? Mr. Xu knows that you already know the truth about Ying Xuanzong's usurpation of the throne, but he still doesn't restrain himself? Isn't he afraid? And Mr. Cao, right and wrong, Cao Junlei must have said It must be clear, why are you still so stubborn? This old man doesn’t even think about who wanted to kill them all in the first place, and who saved their family? "

There was a hint of warmth in Liang Xianyi's cold eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "Xu Ruitong naturally won't come forward, but he thinks that I don't know his private actions? There are many members of his staff in the court. He gave an order, and there were many This is also true for the people who serve him. He has been working hard for many years before he dares to have such thoughts. As for Mr. Cao, he is pedantic, foolish and loyal. The emperor's brother wants to destroy the Cao family, and he also feels that it is his son's fault. , it should be so. Now that I have ascended the throne, Jun Lei has contributed a lot, and he has been promoted to a higher position, which further confirms the previous theory that Jun Lei and I conspired against each other. Concubine Xi and Xu Rui tried to trick them a little more, and their minds changed. You don’t know that he doesn’t dare to express it openly, but he always opposes me. A few days ago, Jun Lei was kicked out of the Cao Mansion, and he threatened to sever the father-son relationship with Jun Lei. This is simply hateful!"

There was infinite irritability and sadness between his brows, and I felt sorry for him.

But he also thought that when Ying Xuanzong worked hard to get the throne, he was guarding against Liang Xianyi just as Liang Xianyi was guarding against them today.

Just as Ying Xuanzong said when he was forced into a desperate situation by King Jin, they are all the sons of the Holy Ancestor. Why can others do it but he can't?

Right and wrong are nothing more than success and failure.

I was stunned for a moment, then took his hand and said, "I, a woman, cannot make arbitrarily judgment on the affairs of the court, but I also know that justice lies in the hearts of the people, and right and wrong have their own public opinions. Ying Xuanzong did many unjust things. When he succeeded to the throne, There are also many doubts. Your brother was imprisoned, exiled, and established his own family. Your mother and concubine were buried. Don't others doubt it? That's all. He single-handedly provoked the war. This kind of person would not regret death. You and him No, you will be a holy king, and even the holy ancestor, Emperor Cheng Xiao, will love you very much. In the future, you will be able to serve the court wisely, and all your ministers will obey you."

His expression had softened a bit, and he smiled at me and said: "I will naturally be a holy king, and I will be able to make all my ministers obey me. It's late at night, and I'm asking you to put so much thought into it, so you should rest early. "As he said that, he got up and walked towards the study.

The next day, Liang Xianyi stayed away all night.

I took a nap on the soft couch and woke up to find that it was already Haishi.

Wenluo said softly from the side: "It's already this hour, why don't you go and have a rest first? Later, the emperor came and said that we won't persuade you any more."

I sat in confusion for a while and looked at the half-embroidered tapestry fan cover on the table. I felt more and more that the waiting time was long and lonely, so I said, "Okay, let's put it in place."

At dawn, I opened my eyes suddenly, rolled over and got up, and Wenluo who was watching over me hurriedly came over to hang up the curtain.

"On what day did the emperor come back last night?" I asked her.

Wenluo said: "The emperor didn't come to Xiyuan last night."

I sat quietly by the bed for a while and said, "Call Meng Degui over."

Normally Meng Degui would be standing guard outside and arrive as soon as I was sent the message, but today he was delayed in coming. After I finished washing, he hurried over.

"Girl, something big happened. Last night, the emperor left the palace and came to Xiyuan to spend the night as usual. He was assassinated on the way. Thanks to General Fan's timely rescue, the assassin failed to succeed."
