Chapter 122 3. Doll Kiss

In the morning, a carriage drove out of the Xun Mansion in the city and slowly headed towards the imperial palace.

It was early spring, and under such weather, even the sun was lazily asleep, leaving the sky in chaos and darkness at such a time.

But Xun Li woke up early, packed up the few papers he had written, got into his family's carriage, and headed for the palace.

There were few pedestrians on the road, but the carriage was still very bumpy on the road, shaking after a few steps, making Xun Li unable to catch a good night's sleep.

Bored, she supported her face with her hands, put the official hat on her head beside her, closed her eyes and rested her mind gently.

There was only the sound of carriages driving around, which calmed her down.

But the next moment, suddenly there was the sound of the carriage woman yanking the carriage outside.Before Xun Li opened her eyes, the whole car stopped suddenly, causing her to fall forward unsteadily before she had time to react.

He quickly stretched out his hand to support the wall, so as not to let his whole body bump into it.

She took a breath before shouting outside, "What's going on?"

"My lord, there are civilian women blocking the way ahead."

Xun Li frowned.

The new dynasty has just been established, and within half a month after the official took office, some women came to stop the car.

This is another person who made it impossible for the people below to stop the car of himself, the prime minister?
Don't want to live anymore?

Gritting his teeth, Xun Li was even more furious in his heart. He opened the curtain and looked outside.

"Who is it? What's the situation? My old lady killed her!"

As soon as he showed his head, he saw the driver woman next to him and the civilian woman kneeling on the road looking up at him, all looking at him with very surprised eyes.

Especially the civilian woman, both of her thighs were trembling, and she looked like she wanted to run away immediately.

Xun Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean you."

After finishing speaking, she jumped out of the carriage, came to the woman, and helped her up, "Get up quickly, tell me what you need."

The old woman looked weather-beaten, her complexion was a little yellow, and she looked pitiful, but she still looked up at Xun Li,
"My lord, I come from Luyang"

"Luyang?" Xun Li was startled, this is a fellow villager, why did he come all the way to the imperial capital, "Why did you come here for thousands of miles? Is there an official domineering in the imperial township? Yes Isn’t there someone who pretends to be a tiger? Is there someone who is bluffing and deceiving?”

Xun Li asked several questions so that the old woman opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a while. She stuttered for a long time and still couldn't utter a word, but Xun Li was still rambling, and she couldn't speak for a while.

She waved her hand, interrupted Xun Li's words, took a deep breath, and then shouted at Xun Li,

"My lord! I had an agreement with Xia Wuju before, and this time I came here for this agreement?"

Xia Wuju?
That is the name of the first emperor!

After Xun Li backed away in shock, he saw the old woman take out something from her bosom and signaled to Xun Li.

Xun Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "What agreement?"

"Baby dear?!"

Xia Qinglan, who was sitting on the top of the hall drinking tea, vomited it out directly, and looked at Xun Li who was suing His Highness with a surprised face, "No, how long has my old lady been dead, why did a baby kiss come out of nowhere?"

Xun Li also frowned, "She said that there are tokens, but I can't tell them apart. Your Majesty can go and see them."

"It's weird." Xia Qinglan put down her teacup and stood up, "Where's the person? I'll go and see."

"The old woman brought people here, and they are all waiting in the side hall." Xun Li said.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go and have a look." Xia Qinglan said to Xun Li, passed her and left the main hall directly, followed by countless palace people, and went directly to the side hall.

Xun Li frowned as he watched Xia Qinglan go away.

Besides, Xia Qinglan soon arrived at the side hall, opened the door and went in, but saw the old woman standing inside the hall, not even sitting down.

Hearing the sound of the door opening from behind, she hurriedly turned her head and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Min Su, pay my respects."

Xia Qinglan directly helped her up, "Okay, stop kneeling, and tell me what happened."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and closed the door, and sat on the chair in the room by herself, looking at the old woman with dangerous eyes, as if if a little deception or other things were discovered, she would die on the spot.

The old woman took a breath, and then said,

"Your Majesty's mother, the late Emperor, and I were good friends when we were in Luyang, and we knew each other before His Majesty was born."

Xia Qinglan frowned, but did not interrupt.

"Your Majesty was only two years old at the time, and I was pregnant. The late emperor made an agreement with me that if the child was a boy, they would become husband and wife, and if the child was a girl, they would become sisters! The late emperor and I made a letter with a jade pendant. My family suffered a catastrophe and was forced to move away from Luyang, and when I settled down, I wanted to find the late emperor, but he was nowhere to be found." The old woman knelt down again, and bowed to Xia Qinglan, "I will not know until your majesty ascends the throne. It turns out that my friend has passed away, and Your Majesty has already ascended to the top of the world. The untouchables should not mention this matter again in this life, but the untouchables are seriously ill, and they are afraid that they will die soon. Only me, a poor son, should not be so good. So I just If you can come to the imperial capital to find His Majesty, please make arrangements!"

She said it again and again, and coughed violently again and again, but she still kept her kneeling posture, which made Xia Qinglan's frown deepen.

"Even if the old man said so, I have nothing to do with this life-long event"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The old man coughed more violently, and then his whole body trembled.

"Mother!"

There seemed to be someone listening in the side ear room, and finally heard the coughing voice of the man who couldn't help but speak. The man's voice poured into Xia Qinglan's ears like a stream of clear water, causing her to turn her head subconsciously.

The door opened, and a boy in sackcloth had already opened the door and ran to his mother.

Xia Qinglan was taken aback, looking at the man who was still eye-catching even though he was wearing linen.

His long black hair was simply tied into a knot, but with a pleasant smell, it entered Xia Qinglan's nose.

There is no need to say much about the facial features, the anxious eyes are wandering in the reddish eye sockets with tears, arousing love and affection.

But he didn't look at himself at all, but knelt down next to his mother very anxiously, and put his white palm on the old woman's back and patted it gently.

In Xia Qinglan's eyes, it was really unbelievable, how could there be such a good-looking person in this world, so she couldn't take her eyes away.

But after all, she is not an ordinary person, she is even better than a fairy. Her slightly surprised eyes slowly retracted into her own eyes, and she also took a step back, turning her face away from looking at this man.

The next moment, the old woman ignored her cough and looked at her son. She shouted angrily, "What are you doing here! How dare you, an unmarried man, come out to show your face! Go back!"

"Mother." The man's good-looking face showed a little grievance, and his thin body knelt on the ground and was at a loss.

But the old woman ignored him and shouted angrily while coughing, "Go back quickly!"

The man finally lowered his head helplessly, turned his head to look at Xia Qinglan, an outsider woman, and was relieved to see that she didn't look at him.

Then he lowered his head and put his hands in front of his forehead to cover his face before slowly returning to the side ear chamber.

"Sorry Your Majesty." The old woman looked up at Xia Qinglan again, lowered her head and coughed a few more times, "I made you laugh."

Xia Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Where is the token you mentioned?"

The old woman finally showed a little joy, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, lowered her head and held it with both hands in front of Xia Qinglan, "Please look at it, Your Majesty."

Xia Qinglan looked down, and saw that a piece of rough green jade pendant was carved into the shape of a small fish, with the word Su engraved in the center.

Xia Qinglan frowned, and also took out a jade pendant from her bosom.

It is also a small fish, but in the center is the word Xia.

It was different from the jade pendant on my waist, this one was kept by my mother, and I had never shown it to anyone else. Even Xun Li didn't know that he had such a jade pendant.

Is this actually true?

Xia Qinglan didn't know, because the only old lady who knew the inside story was gone long ago.

Thinking of the woman's figure, she gritted her teeth.

It's so annoying to die and leave me in such a mess.

"Your Majesty." The old woman bowed her head again, completely following her own orders.

This is a lifelong event, Xia Qinglan doesn't care at all.
But the next moment, she suddenly thought of that man's stunning face and his somewhat innocent and aggrieved expression, Xia Qinglan was taken aback.

She simply can't say no!
"Get up, I agree."

Xia Qinglan said so.
