poisonous woman

Chapter 279
He never forgot the smile that was more dazzling than fireworks at the lantern festival that year.Although at that moment, the throbbing feeling flashed by quickly, but it remained in the deepest part of his heart.

He really wanted to keep this gorgeous smile by his side, but she was like that firework, after the brilliance, it was fleeting, and the night sky finally returned to calm, he still couldn't keep her by his side.

Xiao Jinyu looked at Rong Zhao with a smile, and said, "Zhao Zhao, today is August [-]th."

"Is today the [-]th of August? I said why the moon is so big and round. Oh, look at me, I'm so confused that I don't even remember the time." Rong Zhao has a big heart, and he never asks which day he lived. Just now, he complained about Xiao Jinyu's late return, but now the unhappiness is gone, and he asked again: "There should be a banquet in the palace today, why are you not in the palace, and you came back so early?"

"Why would I want you to celebrate the festival alone?" Xiao Jinyu stretched out her hand, "Today there is a lantern show on the street, may I accompany you to see the lantern?"

Rong Zhao's eyes seemed to be filled with all the stars in the sky, they lit up instantly, he nodded vigorously, and said happily: "Okay, okay." She lifted her skirt and ran directly to Xiao Jinyu's side, quite annoyed, "So I’ve been stuck in this village for many days, I can’t go anywhere, I’m almost suffocated. Today, you have to take me out to have fun. I want to watch lanterns, make a dragon boat, and go to the moat to make a wish.”

Xiao Jinyu patted the top of her head and forced a smile so that Rong Zhao couldn't see anything wrong, "I've already made arrangements, go and change clothes, let's go now."

"Well, okay, you wait for me." Rong Zhao was full of joy, his mouth was full of joy, and he went to change his clothes happily.

It was also like that year when Xiao Jinyu brought her to the boat, and now it was inconvenient for her to show up, and she couldn't go to crowded places for fear of being recognized.

Compared with the Shangyuan Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is more lively.

The surface of the water that touches the sky is as soft and bright as black silk, and the lanterns on the river are like brocade. In the sky, fireworks are all over the sky.

Rong Zhao finally turned back his whole body that was protruding out of the boat, Yingying smiled at Xiao Jinyu and said, "Why does my cousin just sit there drinking tea and not look outside? It's so beautiful, the lanterns on the river are like thousands of It's like a flower is blooming." She took an apple casually, bit her teeth "click", her expression was a little melancholy, "That's right, I can't go outside to see it. When will this sneaky day end?"

She bit her mouth slowly, and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Cousin, when can I appear in front of everyone in an upright manner? Have I been sneaking around all my life?" She lowered her head, "I want to make peace with Xiao Jun, I don’t want to bear the name of Princess Chu every day.”

Xiao Jinyu's hands trembled, and a little water dripped from the tea and dripped onto her hands.

Rong Zhao quickly wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, "Cousin, why are you so careless, did you burn your hands?" She gently blew on the red spot on his tiger's mouth.

"It's okay." Xiao Jinyu quickly adjusted his expression. He looked at Rong Zhao with a smile, and stroked her face, "Soon, you will be able to appear in front of everyone openly and aboveboard, and you don't have to sneak around on the streets anymore."

"Really?" Rong Zhao stared at him, Qiu Shui's eyes were smiling like flowers.

Xiao Jinyu nodded, "Well, soon." His cheeks twitched slightly, and it was difficult to look directly at the person in front of him. He immediately turned his head and looked out the window. A huge firework bloomed above his head, and disappeared into the sky in a flash.

Rong Zhao is not the firework in his heart, he only holds it for a moment.

Rong Zhao followed his gaze, followed by another big firework, and when she caught the most brilliant moment of the firework, she excitedly pointed to the sky, "Look, cousin, it's so beautiful, it's actually colorful."

Xiao Jinyu looked at him, the bright woman was like the most enchanting flower in the world, anyone would stop and stare at her.Feeling tense, Xiao Jinyu hugged Rong Zhao into her arms so tightly that Rong Zhao couldn't breathe.

Rong Zhao twisted his body, and said shamefully: "Cousin, my arm is hurt by you."

Xiao Jinyu didn't relax at all, "Zhao Zhao, I can't bear you."

Rong Zhao pressed his forehead against his chin, and smiled lightly, "Aren't I by your side? Why don't you give up?"

"Zhao Zhao, I..." Xiao Jinyu hesitated for a moment, faltering.

Rong Zhao looked up at him, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Jinyu couldn't say anything for a moment, he gently stroked Rong Zhao's sideburns, his eyes lingered on Rong Zhao's face like nostalgia, "Zhao Zhao, remember, I really like you. No matter what happens What, you have to remember."

Rong Zhao's pink face showed shyly, and Chunshui's eyes swept Xiao Jinyu's face lightly, and the charming look rippling in Xiao Jinyu's heart, his lips pressed against Rong Zhao's forehead, sliding down slowly, Rong Zhao Zhao closed her eyes and prepared to welcome his kiss, but for some reason, her stomach churns again. She pushed Xiao Jinyu away abruptly, lay down by the window of the cabin and vomited, throwing up all the food she ate that day. .

"Zhaozhao, how are you?" Xiao Jinyu's eyes were fixed on Rongzhao's stomach. He had already finished taking the two doses of medicine, and he was thinking inwardly, why there was no effect at all, but the reaction was getting bigger and bigger.

He gently soothed Rong Zhao's back, took tea to rinse her mouth, and helped her to sit down.

Rong Zhao rubbed his chest, frowning tightly, "What's wrong with me? I've always been sick lately, and I don't eat much. Are you seasick?"

Xiao Jinyu's expression was unnatural, he paused, and said: "Xu Yes." He poured Rong Zhao a cup of hot tea, "If you feel unwell, let's go back."

Rong Zhao really felt uncomfortable, she vomited cleanly, but she still felt nauseous, she nodded, "Okay, but I really failed my cousin." She looked outside, it was still lively, envious in her heart, carelessly Said: "The next time will be next year." Looking at Xiao Jinyu with a smiling face, "But it's okay, my cousin will still accompany me to play next year, right?"

Xiao Jinyu's heart twitched, and she tried to smile, without nodding or agreeing.He felt as if blood was dripping from his heart, as if something important had disappeared inadvertently, or in other words, he had lost it.

Emperor Xiao Jing was overjoyed by Xiao Junjue's coming to the court, but he proposed to leave the capital and station at the border, and handed over the military power of the imperial army.

He felt that this son was simply crazy. Could it be that because of Rong Zhao's disappearance, he was disheartened and wanted to live in seclusion?

"I don't agree!" Emperor Xiao Jing was furious, he had high hopes for Xiao Junjue, he had never thought of it before.But ever since Concubine Wan cleared her grievances, his idea became more determined.If he owed Concubine Wan, he wanted to make it up to him.

For such a long time, I don't know how many people asked for the crown prince's memorial for the King of Jin, but he suppressed it. Why did he do it? Isn't it all because of Xiao Junjue, so that he can slowly gain a foothold in the court, and then immediately Is he the prince?
But now, he made a request to be stationed at the border at this time.

Emperor Xiao Jing knew that his body was getting worse now.In his early years, his path to the throne was difficult and dangerous. He was the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and he was the target of public criticism.

Although he saved his life, he was injured at the root after all. For so many years, his body has deteriorated year by year, and now, it is even more withered like a rotten tree, and he can't last long.

He doesn't know how long he can last, he just wants to pave a way for Xiao Junjue before he can't.

But this child didn't understand his heart at all, not only did he not understand, it was a waste of his heart.

Emperor Xiao Jing was sullen and swayed slightly, Chang En hurriedly supported him and sat him down steadily.

"Your Majesty, calm down." All the ministers spoke in unison.

Xiao Junjue glanced at him, then lowered his eyes, "I am not filial, I have failed my father's love, but I have made up my mind."

Emperor Xiao Jing's anger rose to his throat, but because of this "father emperor" in his life, he slowly swallowed it into his stomach.

Silence, long silence, so silent that the officials below stood on their feet.

Xiao Jinyu glanced at Emperor Xiao Jing, then at Xiao Junjue, and then looked away.

In fact, last night, he gave Xiao Junjue a chance to think about it, but he didn't expect that he would really not change his mind, he didn't even invite the fief, and just went to the border where no one wanted to go.

He had to admit that Xiao Junjue was more open than him for Rong Zhao.But also too stupid to think long term.Or is Liu Fuxin right, when he becomes emperor, is he afraid that Rong Zhao won't come back to him?

Momentary gains and losses are nothing.

After the silence, Emperor Xiao Jing exhaled slightly from his nose, and asked Xiao Jun Jue, "Are you really determined? Are you leaving Changge City?"

His voice seemed to have aged all of a sudden, with hoarse cracks.

Xiao Junjue nodded, lifted his robe and knelt down, prostrating to the ground, "I beg your father to fulfill you."

The ministers whispered to each other and were also puzzled by King Chu's request.It is obviously a step away, why give up at this time?
Naturally, the corners of the mouths of those who supported the King of Jin unconsciously curled up, while some sighed and shook their heads, and couldn't help but look at Emperor Xiao Jing on the dragon chair, wondering what that person was thinking.

Emperor Xiao Jing closed his eyes, his lips twitched, as if stuck in his throat, finally nodded, and said: "Okay, since you have made a decision, then Father will grant you. However, the border is fine. It's not unreasonable to be stationed in a bitterly cold place like the border. It's time to choose a fief for you."

He sighed in his heart, and it was fine to leave, so as not to be involved in endless disputes, or perhaps, this was the best arrangement for him.
