Chapter 363 Be Careful
When Su Ying walked out of the cabin, she saw Xiang Lin, who had been beaten, had fainted.
When Zhou Zheng heard the noise, he turned around and gave Su Ying a complicated look with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and picked up Xiang Lin from the bench and took her to the boat and left.
Su Ying glanced at Wei Siyuan and asked, "That scholar likes her?"
Wei Siyuan now respected Su Ying very much. When he heard her ask, he answered everything in detail: "It should be. Zhou Zheng asked me to marry Xiang Lin before, but she didn't agree."
"Be careful." What happened today may very well tear apart their loyalty to Xiao Jin. Who knows if they will betray Xiao Jin.
Although Wei Siyuan was reluctant to admit it, he knew that what Su Ying was worried about was not impossible.
"Don't worry, cousin, I know what to do."
Fortunately, the things the two were in charge of before did not involve Xiao Jin's core interests, so it would not be easy to arouse suspicion if they were transferred to do other things.
Su Ying stood on the deck and soon smelled a strong aroma of grilled fish.
She didn't expect that Xiao Jin could actually grill fish.
As the aroma became stronger, Su Ying couldn't help but walk to the stern of the boat. Xiao Jin was grilling fish over charcoal on the stove. The closer she got, the stronger the aroma became.
“It smells so good.”
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying with eyes that were almost filled with honey, and he didn't even notice it. "It will be ready soon."
Xiao Jin didn't let her wait too long and the fish was ready.
After putting the grilled fish on a plate, he did not hand it to her, but quietly picked out all the bones from the fish before handing the fish meat to her. He always remembered how she was choked by a fish bone the first time she ate fish. From then on, whenever he ate fish, he would pick out the fish bones before giving her the fish meat.
The two treasures watched eagerly from the side, seeing Xiao Jin pick out all the fish bones from the whole fish and bring it to Su Ying.
Su Ying couldn't wait any longer, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating, not noticing the two eagerly looking treasures at all, just because the grilled fish was so delicious.
The two babies were so greedy that tears flowed from their mouths.
Xiao Jin continued to grill the fish.
After Su Ying finished eating, she raised her head with a feeling of unsatisfied taste, and saw the two Baos looking at her eagerly.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, touched her nose and said, "It tastes good."
The two little darlings burst into tears.
After eating and drinking, Wei Siyuan came to Xiao Jin and said, "There has been no unusual movement at the Taifu Mansion. Could it be that they really only intend to save Xiao Jue's life?"
Xiao Jin narrowed his dark eyes, "They are just waiting for an opportunity."
Wei Siyuan didn't understand, "They don't really want to rebel, do they?"
Xiao Jin sneered, "Why not? Find someone to keep an eye on them, and give them a hand if necessary."
"yes."
The family of four returned home when the sun was about to set.
Su Ying had just returned to the city and clearly felt the tense atmosphere in the city. Even the number of pedestrians on the street was less than usual.
As soon as Su Ying and her group returned to the city, a group of people arrived.
The two carriages in the middle of the team were carrying the flags of the Horse King, and the guards on duty were tall and mighty, with solemn expressions, and they looked like they were not to be trifled with.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the horse king's flag emblem clearly, they immediately sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor.
Half an hour later, the eunuch came to report that Prince Ma and his son Prince Ma were asking for a meeting outside the palace.
Emperor Kangze knew it when Ma Wang's team left Ma Wang City, but they arrived in the capital faster than he expected.
"Let them in."
"Announce, Prince Ma, Prince Ma comes to see you." The voices on the relay came one after another. After a moment, Emperor Kangze saw the figures of Prince Ma and others approaching.
Prince Ma and Sima Chen walked into the hall and bowed, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Emperor Kangze had a faint smile on his face and walked forward to help Ma Wangxu up.
"Get up, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The Horse Prince stood up, looking helpless, "The Emperor issued an edict before. It's not that I don't want to return to the capital, but my wife is weak and can't travel. If I don't come back for the Queen Mother's birthday, it will make the Emperor and the Queen Mother sad, so I can only let the princess stay in the city to recuperate and bring the children to see the emperor."
Emperor Kangze turned to look at Sima Chen, "I remember that when I saw this child before, he was only this tall. Now he is taller than me."
The Horse King sighed, "He is useless. He only knows how to write poems and paint all day long, but he doesn't do anything. Sigh."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with reciting poems and painting to cultivate your sentiments. You've all traveled all the way to the capital recently. Go back and have a good rest. On the Queen Mother's birthday, I'll compete with you in drinking capacity."
"Yes, then I will take my leave."
The moment the two figures disappeared from the hall, the smile on Emperor Kangze's lips gradually flattened.
"Go to Fengluan Palace."
Ever since Emperor Kangze registered, the Queen Mother handed over the power of the harem to the Empress, and she rarely asked about the affairs of the palace. Except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year and birthdays every year, basically no one could see her at other times.
Everyone in the palace said that the Empress Dowager was a Buddhist, so Emperor Kangze built a small Buddhist temple in Fengluan Palace and ordered others not to disturb the Empress Dowager so as not to affect her meditation.
When Emperor Kangze arrived at Fengluan Palace, the doors of the palace were locked. The eunuchs went forward and knocked on the door for a long time before the door slowly opened.
Seeing that it was Emperor Kangze who came, the maid was so frightened that she immediately bowed and saluted, "Your servant greets the emperor."
Emperor Kang Ze walked straight in, and everywhere he looked was filled with a cool atmosphere.
As he approached the inner hall, he smelled the scent of burning incense.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
Kang Zedi waved his hand and walked straight in.
The Empress Dowager was kneeling on a cushion and chanting sutras, and she didn't notice Emperor Kangze coming in at all.
Emperor Kangze glanced at the Buddha statue standing in the hall and walked directly to a chair nearby and sat down.
When the Queen Mother finished reciting the sutra and opened her eyes, she found Emperor Kangze sitting next to her. She was stunned for a moment before letting the palace maid help her up.
Her eyes were peaceful, but her eyebrows looked a little dull. When she saw Emperor Kangze, she just asked slowly, "When did the emperor come?"
"Just now, I saw my mother was reciting sutras, so I didn't make a sound to disturb her."
The Queen Mother motioned Emperor Kangze to follow her out, "There's a smell of burning incense in here, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be used to it. Your Majesty, have you had your dinner?"
Kang Zedi went to the main hall and sat down. "No, I just came here specially to have dinner with my mother."
The Queen Mother asked the palace maids to bring up the meals.
After the Queen Mother converted to Buddhism, she ate vegetarian food every day.
"I don't have any meat to eat."
Emperor Kangze smiled and said, "It won't be a big deal if I skip a meal. What's rare is that I happen to have time to accompany my mother today. I was thinking of asking the horse prince and his son to come and pay respects to my mother, but I forgot about it."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression paused.
