Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 172

Just now, when she came back from the kitchen, she had already heard Su Mei's sneeze, so she went back to the room to get the cloak.

"Thank you, I'm fine." Su Mei said with a smile.After living here for a long time, there is a feeling of home.

"Miss, this is what a servant should do, you are always so polite." Zi Yan said with a smile and stood aside.

Su Mei looked at the rosiness on Zi Yan's face, and smiled lightly. If she remembered correctly, it seemed that every time she finished saying thank you, Zi Yan's cheeks would turn red more or less, but I don't know why she Shyness or some other reason.

Shang Junyuan didn't go back the same way, but took another road leading to the gate of the palace, so he and Jiao Jingyao just missed each other, and neither of them met the other.And Jiao Jingyao ran all the way, and finally came to Jiao Jincheng's study.

"My lord!" The eunuch who guarded the gate saw Jiao Jingyao rushing over, and hurriedly saluted and greeted him respectfully.

"Well, is Emperor Father in the room?" Jiao Jingyao asked indifferently.

"Report to the lord, the emperor is reviewing the memorial in the study. The servant will report it to you right away." The eunuch was about to open the door and walk in.

"No need, I'll just go in by myself in a while." Jiao Jingyao stopped him, and then asked: "Is there anyone else who came to see the father today?"

The eunuch thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Reporting to the lord, I have just taken over. As for whether anyone has been here before, I don't know. How about I ask you about it?"

Indeed, Shang Junyuan left before the eunuch took over, so he didn't even know if anyone had been here.

"No need." Jiao Jingyao waved his hand, and before the eunuch could react, he had already pushed open the door and walked in, leaving only the eunuch standing there for no reason.

"I will see my father!" Jiao Jingyao said as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down and saluted.

Jiao Jincheng seemed to have guessed that he would come today, and he didn't show any surprise at all, and he wasn't even surprised that he walked in without warning, but it seemed like a common occurrence.

"Stay flat." Jiao Jincheng put down the ink brush in his hand, and said gently.

Or maybe only when facing his little son, can he have such a relaxed expression on his face, after all, he is the child of his beloved.

"Thank you, father!" Jiao Jingyao stood up and looked up at him.

"Is Yao'er coming to see me today for something?" Before Jiao Jingyao could speak, Jiao Jincheng asked first.

"Father, my son came here today to ask Father for leave." After thinking about it for a while, Jiao Jingyao finally decided to leave here for a while. After all, Su Mei still had some unfinished business. As an elder brother, No matter what, I have to help her realize her wish.

"Ask for leave?" Jiao Jincheng asked back. Although he didn't know why he asked for leave, he knew that it was probably related to Princess Xiangrui. Thinking of this, he strengthened his determination to cooperate with Shang Junyuan.

"Yes, Father." Jiao Jingyao nodded, and then said: "Father, there are still some things unfinished in the Jianghu, and I want to understand those things before choosing the concubine for the wedding, so that I can concentrate on it in the future." Political affairs." Jiao Jingyao explained very calmly.

"Is everything I entrusted to you finished?"

"Yes, Erchen has sorted out those manuscripts and handed them over to Shanglinyuan."

"Yeah." Jiao Jincheng thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will give you ten days of vacation, and you must come back after ten days."

"Yes, my son, thank you for your father's grace!" Jiao Jingyao saluted Jiao Jincheng again, and he was a little surprised in his heart. He never thought that his father would agree so quickly, but he didn't What he knew was that his father had reached a certain agreement with Shang Junyuan, even if he asked for leave, it would not change anything, it would only speed up the development of things.

Sure enough, after Jiao Jingyao left, Jiao Jincheng also sent his personal bodyguard, who was also the leader of the dark guard who protected him, Wuming.

"No name!" Jiao Jincheng shouted coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He rubbed the token hidden in his sleeve, it was a token that could be exempted from any inspection, as long as it was in the Dijiao Kingdom, it would be unimpeded.What Jiao Jingyao said just now made him have to advance his plan. If Jiao Jingyao really asked for leave for Su Mei, then he believed that Jiao Jingyao would take Su Mei away tomorrow. Therefore, he Must act tonight.

He finally took out a token from under his sleeve, handed it to Wuming, and said, "Give this token to Prince Qi of Shanghuang Country, the post house, and remember, it must be fast!"

"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the study.

After Wuming left, Jiao Jincheng got up and came to the window, looking at the yellow-green leaves all over the yard, he sighed in his heart, and said, "Yao'er, I hope you don't hate me, I did this for your own good, I I also don't want you to follow in my footsteps in the future, as an emperor, you must never have true feelings, even if you have, this kind of love should belong to this world! In the future, you will understand my painstaking efforts! You will understand!"

The shadows of the trees flicker, the dead leaves fall to the ground, and there is a rustling sound. When does it fall?It has been early autumn and another year, things are not people and everything is not, and it is difficult to speak.

It was the dead of night, and there was no one around, except for the sound of falling leaves in the courtyard, there was nothing else.

In the dark room, Su Mei stared at the top of the bed with her big round and bright eyes. Even though she couldn't see anything, she still stared brightly, as if only in this way could she really feel the truth. I realized that the beating heart in her chest was so powerful.When she thought of leaving here tomorrow, she couldn't restrain herself with joy. It's not that she didn't think about leaving, but she couldn't.

And just this afternoon, Jiao Jingyao ran over excitedly, and told her excitedly that he had already asked the emperor for ten days' leave, and he could leave here tomorrow.

When Su Mei heard the news at first, her mind was a little dazed, and she stared at him blankly, without saying a word, as if she didn't understand, until Jiao Jingyao told her that she was free, she Only then did he reveal a smile from the heart, but that smile, like a sculpture, was deeply imprinted in Jiao Jingyao's mind, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

She understands why Jiao Jingyao did this, and she understands even more that if it hadn't been for Jiao Jingyao's meticulous care over the past year, I am afraid that she would not have survived to this day, and her soul would not have known it had fallen so far where.

Brother, thank you for your kindness. After I find out the truth of the matter, I will definitely come back to repay you. I will also pay back everything I owed from my previous life.Su Mei swore in her heart that it seemed that only in this way could she feel at ease.

But at this moment, there was a slight sound outside the door, she immediately came back to her senses, sat up, put on her coat, and looked outside vigilantly.

Although the night was dark, under the bright moonlight, the shadows of the trees blown by the wind could be clearly seen.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared on the window, but the figure was stretched so long by the moonlight that it was hard to see clearly, but she still recognized it, it was the shadow of a person, and it was also the figure of a man.

It's strange, in the middle of the night, why would a man come to the princess mansion?Su Mei rolled her eyes, and suddenly remembered the scene when Jiao Jingyao came to the courtyard that day, and asked subconsciously: Could it be the elder brother?
However, before Su Mei put on her shoes, she smelled a faint musk, and then a sense of dizziness hit her. The first feeling told her that it was a scent, and the dangerous smell was like a ghost. It usually hits her heart and makes her feel uneasy. If it is something else, she may be able to fight it, but now it is Mixiang, but she is powerless. She gradually feels that her body is weak and her eyes are weak. I can't see clearly.

Just when Su Mei was about to close her eyes, the door of the room was opened a crack, and through the crack, she saw a corner of the white clothes by the faint moonlight.

Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, is it him?It's a pity that she fainted gorgeously before the man walked in completely.

The man pushed the door open, saw Su Mei lying on the ground, his eyes tightened, and he instantly understood what was going on.

"It seems that I still underestimated your vigilance, but even so, you are still a bit inferior." The man said and picked up Su Mei who was on the ground, and disappeared into the courtyard after a few ups and downs.

And in the outer room of Su Mei's room, Zi Yan was lying quietly on the bed, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she had a sweet dream, and under the influence of the smoke, she slept more and more sweetly If it goes on like this, if she is not woken up, Ziyan may be going to sleep for a whole day and night.

Prince Yongfu.

Jiao Jingyao was also lying quietly on the bed, looking at the ceiling with both eyes, but the only difference was that the Prince Yong's Mansion was quiet and there was no sound at all.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, that smile was not for anything else, only for Su Mei's showy smile during the day, that smile, no one except his mother and concubine could have that smile!
Soon, with that smile, he fell into a sweet dreamland.

This night is destined to be an extraordinary night!
On the second day, just after the cock crowed, Jiao Jingyao woke up, thinking about leaving today, he got up early and called Lingyun Linghe and the others over.

"My lord." As soon as they entered the room, they respectfully greeted each other.

"Well, the king will leave here for a while. During the time when the king is away, Ling He will be in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and Ling Lan will stay and help Ling He."

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate takes orders." Linghe Linglan said respectfully.

Jiao Jingyao thought that Shang Junyuan hadn't left yet. Although he didn't know what ulterior purpose Shang Junyuan had for staying here, he knew that there would be no harm in sending someone to pay more attention.

"Ling Lan, in addition to helping with the affairs of the mansion, you should also pay more attention to the post house. If there is any situation, you must immediately notify the king." Jiao Jing Yao said with eyebrows.

"Yes." Ling Lan replied.

"En." Jiao Jingyao nodded, then looked at the other two, and said, "Ling Yun, Ling Hai, you all leave with this king."

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

"Well, let's go back and get ready, and we'll set off in an hour's time."

"Yes, this subordinate is resigning!" Several people walked out of the room while speaking.

Jiao Jingyao got up, came to the window sill, looked in the direction of the princess mansion, and whispered: "Little sister, I wonder if you are getting up at this time?"

He looked a little sad, but in just half a day, he seemed to have lost weight, a little haggard.

At this time, on the wide official road, an ordinary carriage was galloping fast, and the man sitting in the carriage was waving the whip in his hand, constantly urging the horse to run fast.

On the soft couch in the carriage, lay a young, beautiful and seemingly weak woman. She had a ruddy complexion and slept soundly, but she didn't know if she dreamed of something unhappy or something. The brows were tightly frowned, and even the entire cheek seemed to be shrouded in tangles.
