Chapter 340 Assassination
Zhou Shuxuan had just finished approving the memorial, took a sip from his teacup, and wanted to take a break.Qingxi ran over in a hurry, and it was a way to treat Miaoli to him, and ran into his arms without saying a word.

Everyone around Zhou Shuxuan recognized him and did not stop him.

This was the first child to crawl into his arms, Zhou Shuxuan was a little surprised by this feeling, lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes!" Qingxi nodded, "You said in the morning that you would help me, but does it count now? Will you lie to children?"

There is something to look for him so soon, Zhou Shuxuan nodded without hesitation, "Of course it counts, I won't lie to children, what trouble have you encountered?"

"I want to eat the fish in the thousand carp pond, but my aunt won't let me, so I'll come to you."

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help laughing, pinched his nose and said, "But that fish may not be very tasty, do you want to eat it too? And it's not for eating, it's for watching."

"Yes, if you want to eat, you must eat." Qingxi clasped his fingers and said, "My aunt also told me that it is for viewing, but I just want to eat. I have raised them for a long time, and I must eat them in my mouth will be satisfied."

OK then.

This is not a big deal, although no one has ever paid attention to Koi, but he is a child after all, and this is still a child of Miaoli's family.

Zhou Shuxuan agreed after thinking for a while, "Then I'll get someone to pick one up for you. What kind of food do you want, steamed or braised?"

Anyway, there are so many fish in it, it's okay to give him one.

This is another big question. Qingxi thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a result, so he glanced at him and asked, "Can one be steamed and one braised?"

Zhou Shuxuan smiled and said, "You are quite greedy." Then he said to him very seriously, "But you only did me a favor, and I can only give you one."

Qingxi struggled for a while, but still couldn't make a decision, so he said, "Then I can do one more thing for you. Can I ask my aunt to eat fish? Then you can see her."

Some of the words were astonishing, Zhou Shuxuan never thought that he would understand them.So I asked, "How did you know I wanted to see her?"

Qingxi reached out and patted him on the shoulder, acting like a little adult, "This is very simple, just like I want to see Sister Shu'er, I understand."

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help laughing again, it turned out that he also has his own heart, and he knows everything at a young age. "Then let's put it this way, one steamed and one braised. When it's ready, I'll have someone call you, and you can bring your aunt over here."

Qingxi jumped from his arms, "No problem, hurry up, I'm already hungry."

He looks like a little ghost, and it is really cute to have a child.

Zhou Shuxuan watched him go out with some envy, and it took him a long time to concentrate on dealing with state affairs.

When Qingxi returned to Qingquan Palace, she couldn't help showing off to Miaoli when she entered the door, "Auntie, I can eat fish today. Do you want to eat it, Auntie?"

He wants to go out to play alone out of nowhere, and Miao Li is worrying about him.However, there were people following him, so he didn't ask anyone to look for it, and now he finally came back.Pulling him over, he asked, "Where did you go, how did you get to eat fish?"

"I have my own way, but Auntie, do you want to eat it or not?" Qingxi shook her again.

What can he do, he must go to Zhou Shuxuan.Zhou Shuxuan probably couldn't stop his coquettish offensive, so he surrendered.It is not impossible for someone to catch a fish for him.

Miao Li didn't pursue the question, but answered his question, "I don't really want to eat it. I told you that the fish is for viewing, not for eating."

Qingxi went around to her face again, looked at her and said, "But I'm already going to eat, so my aunt will eat with me. Daddy said you can't be a selfish person, you have to learn to share."

Miao Li felt that he was planning some bad idea, so she asked with a straight face, "It's that simple? Is it because you want to be a person who can share?"

Qingxi seemed to have been seen through by her, and lowered his head and said, "It's not all, it's because my father would definitely beat me if he found out. But it's different with my aunt, he might not beat me. And my aunt You just promise, they may kill all the fish, and they can't put them back. Promise me, okay?"

Playing tricks on her here again, but it's really not a big deal, Zhou Shuxuan agreed to kill the fish, so it doesn't make much sense for her to insist.

It's not a big deal either, Miao Li nodded in agreement, "Okay then, I'll eat fish with you."

Qingxi hugged her happily, "That's great, Auntie, I like you so much. Don't go back on your word, don't go back on it, I won't talk to you if you go back on it."

Miao Li patted his stomach and said: "Just put your heart in your little stomach, I will never regret it."

Qingxi danced happily, jumped up and down and said, "Alright, let's go to the emperor's place to eat fish today."

Go to the emperor to eat fish?
Miaoli reached out to grab him, but Qingxi nimbly avoided him.Then he ran outside, saying as he ran: "Auntie, you have already promised, and you will not go back on your promise. Don't forget, the emperor will call us over soon. I can still play for a while."

Miao Li never imagined that this little thing was actually in a trap. She thought he was afraid, so she had this idea in mind.He deliberately didn't speak clearly, waiting for her to get into the trap.

Zhou Shuxuan agreed to fish for him, probably in exchange for him.

Qingxi had already run out of the house, and Mammy Xi also reacted, and said with a smile: "Mother, I didn't expect to capsize in the gutter, did I? It fell on the hands of one of his children."

Miao Li wanted to be angry and laugh again, but she didn't capsize in the gutter.Not only did he deliberately lure her into the trap, but he also appeared to be surrendering to the enemy.If it weren't for seeing him as his own nephew, he would really have to give him a good spanking.

Although Miao Li was angry, she did not renege on her debt in the end.Keep the promise and go to Longde Hall to eat fish.It wasn't just her and Qingxi who brought Meng Runlin's family with them.

It doesn't matter if there are more people Zhou Shuxuan, it's lively anyway.For so long, he has eaten alone almost all the time, and he always felt that it was not very interesting, but now it is really interesting.

Qingxi ran directly in front of Zhou Shuxuan, as if asking for credit, Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help smiling, bent down and said, "The fish will be delivered right away, and I'll make it for you every day you want to eat."

This is the most extravagant sentence Zhou Shuxuan said. In the past, he was frugal if he could. He didn't even think about fishing the koi to eat, or even selling the koi.

Qingxi smiled and said, "No need, one meal is enough. If I eat too much, my dad will spank me." Then he found a place he liked and sat down.

It's a little more joyful and free in the house, and the adults are very restrained.Meng Runlin and Wu Yun seldom had dinner with Zhou Shuxuan, Zhou Shuxuan seemed very easy-going and friendly.But he is the emperor after all, and he must abide by the rules that should be followed.

After Zhou Shuxuan and Qingxi finished talking, they looked up and saw that they were uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, we are all a family, just come over for a meal. In fact, we should get together often, I can't help it. I'm too busy to take care of you."

Meng Runlin hurriedly said: "What's the matter with the emperor, if you can't share the emperor's worries, it is a grassroots dereliction of duty. How dare you bother the emperor."

"It doesn't have to be like this today." Zhou Shuxuan waved his hand and said, "Sit down, I'm really hungry. Fish should be eaten while it's hot, and it won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhou Shuxuan greeted them to sit down, and continued: "I have never eaten this fish, so I don't know how it is. So I asked someone to prepare more dishes. If the fish is not delicious, you can eat other things."

Miao Li sat next to him and glanced at the table. There was a table full of delicacies, which had already exceeded the standard limit, and the few of them definitely couldn't finish it.It really violated his philosophy that the food was enough to eat, and the luxury was a bit too much.

There is really no need for him to do so much for the child's unreasonable troubles, Miao Li sighed in her heart.

Only after Zhou Shuxuan lifted the chopsticks did the people on the table dare to lift the chopsticks.First put a chopstick of fish meat to Miao Li, "How about a taste?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miao Li stood up coldly and wanted to salute.

She really has a hundred ways to make him unhappy, and she has to salute even if she picks up a dish.Zhou Shuxuan wanted to pull her to sit down, but suddenly felt that something was wrong in the room.Before he could figure out what was wrong, the sound of sharp arrows rubbing against the air came from his ears.

Looking up, I saw a bright and straight arrow coming towards them.

Zhou Shuxuan's mind went blank, and he almost subconsciously held Miaoli in his arms.An arrow hit her shoulder, Zhou Shuxuan seemed to feel no pain, and hurriedly checked her condition to see if she was injured.

The room immediately became chaotic, and the eunuchs shouted at the top of their voices, "Come here, there are assassins and there are assassins."

The guards outside hadn't come in yet, and the person who didn't know where to hide was another arrow.This time Miao Li saw it, and wanted him to hide but failed, Zhou Shuxuan got shot again.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't have any serious problems because he didn't ejaculate in a vital position. He hugged her and hid under the table, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

Miao Li saw that he was trying to die. Someone was assassinated, but he didn't run outside, but hid in this place, or hid in this place in a trance, not realizing the seriousness of the matter at all.

Miaoli was hugged tightly by him, and she couldn't move, she could only say: "I think it's better to go out."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from outside came in and immediately surrounded them.

Soon the Imperial Forest Army outside came in to report, "Your Majesty, I waited for the rescue to arrive late, which frightened the Emperor."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Shuxuan only cared about the assassin's situation, "Has he been caught?"

"We have caught up, but they are already dead, so they may not have thought of getting out of the palace alive."
