Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 242 Embrace each other in the afternoon

Chu Qingyan fell asleep listening to the sad song all the way.

I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep, and today I climbed down the mountain again, and my energy was already exhausted. At this time, I could only nestle in the carriage and sleep soundly.

At this time, Xiao Xu had in his hands all the information on the dozen or so cities that were about to arrive in the past ten years, from officials to people's livelihood, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the number of major disasters that had occurred, almost all of which were on the table. superior.

He hadn't slept for three hours for a while, and he was reviewing these contents day and night, circled the officials and incidents with problems, and focused on the trial.

At this time, he felt a little tired, raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow.

He turned sideways, glanced at the little guy who was sleeping peacefully, and the restlessness in his heart was calmed down for no reason.

Xiao Xu pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless, this little guy seems to be able to sleep soundly no matter where he is, the sky and the earth are falling apart, I sleep peacefully on my side, how do you feel about me!But this easy-going temperament is a bit pleasing.

And just during this moment of trance, the restless little guy had unknowingly climbed onto his lap, rested his head on his lap, and then showed a satisfied look.

Xiao Xu's hand holding the pen froze slightly, he put down the pen, and wanted to move the little guy back to the couch, but just as he stretched out his hand, the little guy didn't know whether he was really asleep or pretended to be asleep, and he went ahead and hugged his arm, Without letting go, he rubbed his face against him, and then just hugged his hand to be quiet.

Now Xiao Xu was in a dilemma, should he push her away, or not. Pushing her away would definitely wake her up, and if he didn't push her away, he wouldn't be able to continue processing these materials.

"Big ice cube, go to bed and rest." The unconscious murmur made Xiao Xu slightly startled, but when he looked down during class, the little guy's eyes were closed tightly, looking contented.

In the end, after careful consideration, Xiao Xu still couldn't bear to wake her up, and allowed her to fall asleep with her arms wrapped around his legs as a pillow.

He thought about what he had encountered in the past few days, whether there were any left undisposed, and the memorial sent back to the capital contained a new round of criminal evidence, as well as a new batch of officials who were about to be arrested. Is the royal father still satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
Xiao Xu couldn't help but evoked a self-deprecating chuckle, whether he was satisfied or not, was not that important to him anymore.

The cool breeze, accompanied by the warm sun's temperature, blows into the car and blows past the two cuddling people.

It seems a little tired and a little sleepy.

Unknowingly, the person who was resting on his lap curled up into his arms step by step.

Unknowingly, how did the man with his head bowed step by step gather the person in his arms.

The two young bodies are getting closer and closer, like the two willow branches that are blown close to each other by the wind outside the car window, entangled and inseparable no matter what.

Outside the car, the carrier pigeon landed again. Huo Ling took down the letter and wanted to pass it on to the people in the car immediately, but was stopped by Tu Ling three steps away.

"What are you doing?" Huo Ling was a little puzzled.

"Master hasn't had a good rest for four days, are you going to wake him up?" Tu Ling put down his hands without saying anything, but his eyes turned to the carriage.

Huo Ling looked along his line of sight, saw the curtains of the car that were raised from time to time, and could see the two figures leaning together, so harmonious, so matching.

Huo Ling immediately took back the letter in his hand, and said with a smile, "Then I'll hand it over to the master at night!"

Earth Spirit didn't speak, and looked away from the car to the blue sky.

"Huoling, I have a feeling that the mountain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the building."

Huo Ling put away his laughing expression, and looked at him solemnly, "Master has offended too many people this way, regardless of his care."

"It feels like the master is making some urgent plans. This is a feeling I have never felt before following the master for so many years." Tu Ling whispered, as if he didn't want anyone to hear.

Huo Ling nodded, "I have the same feeling."

Tu Ling turned his gaze to the two people in the car again, or in other words, fell on that delicate face, "I hope this harmony can be maintained."

Huo Ling was silent and sighed.

As Xixuan's most elite heroic cavalry, they have a keenness that others don't have. Although their people have been evacuated from the capital, they can still faintly feel those personnel fluctuations and the turbulent waves in the dark.

The two of them didn't say any more, because they always followed their master's order, even if they were wrong, they would resolutely carry it out!

The wind in the afternoon, not as cold as in the morning, has a bit of warmth from the sun, falling on the two people in the car, making people unable to resist indulging in this comfortable afternoon.

I don't know if this kind of snuggling will happen again in the future?
Chu Qingyan in her sleep did not know how hard-won this comfort was.

Kyoto Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study room, memorials had already filled the entire desk.

Basically, they are all the lists collected in recent days about corruption and bribery among the officials of the imperial court, and the list of interests involved with the Liu family.

Evidence, ledgers, and correspondence were all placed on another table.

Those were sent to the capital by people sent by Xiao Xu, and there were no details, every copy was enough to make the officials involved speechless and directly convicted.

In the past few days, everyone in the entire imperial palace was in danger and acted cautiously, for fear of offending the person in the imperial study.

Seeing these evidences, Emperor Xixuan felt as if his chest was on fire. He thought that the country he governed was not as bad as he imagined, but when the evidence was presented, he realized that it was actually worse than he imagined. Oops, the reason for the emptiness of the national treasury has finally been found. The gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the raid this time has filled the entire treasury and there is nowhere to put it, which is enough to see how deep these moths have eaten!

"Your Majesty, you need to extinguish the fire. If you get angry, the dragon's body will not be worth the loss!" Eunuch Cao came in with a heat-clearing and detoxifying medicinal soup.

"Cao Zhi, I feel a little ashamed of my ancestors, look at how poorly I have governed this country!" Emperor Xixuan sighed, still feeling trapped in his chest.

Eunuch Cao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. You see, haven't these people already received the punishment they deserved? The evidence collected by His Royal Highness is enough to convict them. The moth was caught, For the whole people, it is a gratifying event, and His Majesty should be happy."

"Yeah, King Ying really helped me a lot this time." Emperor Xixuan stroked his beard and said undeniably.

"The king of England is really an invaluable arm of His Majesty. If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't have such tough courage." Eunuch Cao praised with a smile.

Emperor Xixuan paused and smiled, but this rare arm has already been cornered by him.
