Chapter 215 Giving Gifts
Ningbo City.
Xuanyuan Jing finally arrived and reunited with Xiao Fuguang.
Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea.
"The prince is finally here."
"Everything is going well."
Xuanyuan Jing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
"Gu Ying has already gone to the fiefdom with Jiang Yuan on my behalf. Once Su Yan is dealt with, I will rush over there or meet up with them halfway. It all depends on when Su Yan is dealt with."
He always drank tea slowly, but now he drank it all in one gulp, which showed that he was really thirsty after traveling. Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and poured him another cup.
"Originally, when I first arrived here, I planned to stay at an inn, but inns are crowded and eye-catching, so I asked Liu Yue to buy a courtyard. After all, if I rented it out, I was worried that it would leave traces."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded after hearing this.
"Fuguang is still very considerate."
"Is there any news now?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke slowly.
"Su Yan has already led his men to Tianfeng Mountain today. I guess he had some concerns and retreated again. It is said that he has now mobilized the troops in Yongcheng to surround Tianfeng Mountain. It seems that he is adopting a strategy of surrounding but not attacking, hoping to force the bandits to show up or consume their supplies."
When Xuanyuan Jing heard this, his brows grew more serious.
"Besieging without attacking is a tricky strategy. Tianfeng Mountain is strategically located, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, if the siege lasts for a long time, food and fodder supplies will become a problem. Furthermore, it's about to snow, so he's planning to use the weather to trap the bandits to death."
"That's right," Xiao Fuguang stroked the edge of his teacup, his eyes deep. "Also, Su Yan is very cunning. He brought a lot of experts with him this time. It seems he is on guard against us."
"What I'm considering now is that if you go to the fiefdom and arrange it properly, you can still spend time with Su Yan. However, the reason I used is that I'm researching the Gu technique in Southern Xinjiang, and I still have to rely on Master to drag it on. As for Su Yan, should I take action as soon as possible?"
Xuanyuan Jing was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"Let's see first. Besides getting rid of those bandits, he's also doing harm to the people. And the fight between him and the bandits will also cost him the lives of those around him. Let's wait for the opportunity to act."
Xiao Fuguang nodded after hearing this.
"However, his siege method also caused the soldiers in Yongcheng to suffer. It's so cold, if it snows, it will be a problem for so many people to keep warm and eat."
Xuanyuan Jing put his hand on his face and felt it was no longer so cold, then he reached out to hold Xiao Fuguang's hand.
"We can't interfere in these matters, so don't worry about them. This is the business of the Yongcheng Prefecture."
"Don't worry, your master will cover it for you in the Imperial City. If it really doesn't work, you can go back to the Imperial City first. I will still deal with Su Yan."
After hearing this, Xiao Fuguang spoke slowly.
"This won't do. I must kill Su Yan with my own hands. Last time he was killed by lightning, he was able to be reborn. This time I have to use special means."
Rebirth sounds mysterious, but Gu Chuan was indeed reborn as Su Yan, and his brain worked better after becoming Su Yan. I don’t know if it’s because Su Yan’s brain was originally good, and after integrating a soul that knows martial arts, it’s even more powerful, so we have to be careful when dealing with him.
"Then just wait for the news with peace of mind."
Xiao Fuguang nodded after hearing this. He had indeed been a little impatient in the past two days. Putting aside the old grudges with Su Yan, if he wanted to kill Prince Rong to avenge his mother, he had to kill Su Yan first.
"There is no one left in the Yao family now. If Prince Rong is a tiger, then Su Yan is the tiger's claw. If we want to get rid of the tiger, we must cut off its claws."
Looking at her furrowed brow and the anger in her eyes, Xuanyuan Jing reached out and smoothed her brow.
"Okay, let's not think about it anymore. The opportunity is right in front of us now. Su Yan can't return to the Imperial City."
Then he pulled her over to sit in his arms and took out a box.
"Look what I brought you?"
Then open the box.
There was a jade bracelet lying in the box. It was shiny and you could tell at a glance that it was a good thing.
"bracelet?"
Seeing Xiao Fuguang's surprised expression, Xuanyuan Jing took out the bracelet and put it on her hand.
“Feel it.”
He felt a warm feeling on his hand, and Xiao Fuguang's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
“This is warm jade!”
Seeing that the jade bracelet made her hand look even more beautiful, Xuanyuan Jing pulled her hand over and kissed the back of her hand.
"Yes, the weather is cold now, and we are outside, not in the palace. This warm jade is suitable for you."
Xiao Fuguang looked down at the jade bracelet on her hand, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Although she had many helplessness when she married him, she also wanted to remember her identity as the Regent Princess and avenge her mother.
But he helped me time and time again, and even started to interfere in the affairs of the court for my sake, and even brought down the Yao family. People have seven emotions and six desires, and I am not a stone. It is really hard to warm him up, and I am somewhat moved in my heart.
He put his arms around Xuanyuan's neck.
"Thank you, husband. I like this bracelet very much."
Looking at the smile on her face, Jiang Yuan was right. This woman would be happy when she received a gift. Xuanyuan Jing put his arm around her waist.
"Call me husband again."
I was just emotional just now. Xiao Fuguang lowered his head shyly. They are husband and wife and have done everything they should do, but in the past, well, it seems that they have never shouted like this.
Xuanyuan Jing's big hands tightened around her waist.
"Be good, call me again. I have traveled day and night just to see you earlier."
After hearing this, Xiao Fuguang leaned on his chest and shouted again.
"Husband."
Xuanyuan Jing hugged him, put his head close to hers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Master, the food is ready."
Xiao Fuguang hurriedly got up and sat on a chair beside him.
"Serve it up."
Liu Yue quickly came in with the food.
Put it on silently.
Liu Yue’s cooking skills are pretty good now. Although she only made three simple dishes, one stir-fried meat, one stir-fried vegetables, and a soup, they all looked delicious and were full of fragrance.
Xiao Fuguang looked at Xuanyuan Jing with a smile.
"Your Highness must be hungry after traveling so long. Come and eat. Liu Yue has been taking care of me these past few days and has improved her cooking skills."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at the food on the table, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
"It tastes really good. Thank you for your hard work in taking care of the princess. When we return to the palace, I will ask the butler to give you some money."
Then he remembered something, reached out and took out a box from the bag beside him and put it on the table.
"This is what Jiang Yuan asked me to bring to you. Please take it."
Xiao Fuguang suddenly turned his gaze towards him.
"So the prince brought me a gift because Jiang Yuan reminded him?"
Xuanyuan Jing's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment.
"Of course not. I'm not that inconsiderate. I just thought the warm jade was a good thing, and when I came across it, I wanted to buy it for you."
Xiao Fuguang nodded slightly, pretending not to see the guilt in his eyes. Even if others reminded him, he knew that he bought it with him in mind.
Xiao Fuguang and Xuanyuan Jing are full of warmth here.
At this time, the palace was in chaos.
Yonghe Palace.
Make Zhaoyi fall to the ground.
Defei knelt on the ground to help her.
"Sister Yao, Sister Yao......"
"Someone, come quickly, call the imperial physician, call the emperor."
Then he hugged Yao Zhaoyi with an anxious look on his face.
"Sister Yao, wake up, wake up."
Seeing that Yao Zhaoyi was foaming at the mouth, Defei's hands were shaking as she held her.
Such a big thing happened that soon the emperor and the empress dowager were alarmed.
Yao Zhaoyi was also carried to the bed by palace servants for treatment.
Emperor Xuanyuan was sitting not far away.
"Imperial Physician, what happened to Concubine Yao?"
The imperial physician bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yao was poisoned by arsenic. Fortunately, she didn't take much and induced vomiting in time, which saved her life."
