Chapter 267 Daddy threw the job at the wrong time, Xiaojiu felt distressed

The Queen recalled that she also entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and became the Crown Princess by relying on her powerful family.

When she was fifteen, she was the most beautiful woman in Daxia.

He originally thought he could go to the battlefield with his father, but he was intercepted by the crown prince at that time.

When she was nineteen years old, the prince ascended the throne and she naturally became the queen.

This lasted for twenty years.

Over the past twenty years, her temper has been almost worn out.

She now understood clearly in her heart that the dog emperor wanted to marry her because her family had been military commanders for generations and had made great achievements in battle, and she would be a powerful helper to him.

If she was the daughter of an ordinary official family, he would not have been in a hurry to marry her.

She is now 40 years old and has taken good care of herself, so how can she have crow's feet?

Having said that, there is naturally a difference between staring at a woman in her teens every day and looking at a woman in her forties.

The emperor sat at the head of the bed, stared at the queen for a long time, then got into bed in his slippers and held the queen in his arms.

"Ling'er, why are you sleeping so deeply?"

They are an old couple, but the queen is still as lazy as a rock and is too lazy to pay attention to the emperor.

The emperor was not sleepy at this moment. He supported his head with one hand and put his hand on the queen's waist. He groped for a while and then pinched the queen's waist.

Queen: “…” Can you just hug me and don’t use your hands?

Just as the queen was trying to calm down her anger, the emperor said something that deserved a beating, "Ling'er, have you gained weight recently?"

The queen clenched her fists. The two issues that women hate to be mentioned the most are aging and weight.

Who wouldn’t be angry when being asked this question by the dog emperor?

The emperor saw that the empress still showed no signs of coming, and he couldn't sleep again. He stared at the empress's beautiful face for a while, then moved his gaze down to the empress's lips.

His slender fingers followed suit, rubbing the queen's lips with his fingertips, and he said something that deserved a beating, "Ling'er, your lips are not as pink as before."

"..." The queen clenched her fists again, unable to bear it!

She suddenly opened her eyes, and a shadow loomed in front of her. Before she could react, she was bitten by the emperor.

This kiss is very long...

The queen seriously suspected that the emperor was trying to murder her.

When she almost thought she was going to die, the Dog Emperor finally let her go.

The emperor pinched the queen's face and said, "Ling'er, you finally woke up."

The Queen looked at the Emperor dimly, "Your Majesty, have you finished your work so quickly?"

Inside the bed, the light was dim.

The emperor could not clearly see the queen's eyes.

"There are still a bunch of memorials. I have ordered them to be sent to the Crown Prince for review."

No wonder the Dog Emperor went to bed so early tonight, it turned out he was just being lazy.

Aren’t you complaining that my lips are not as pink as before?

Are you still chewing?

The emperor kissed the queen and said, "Ling'er, you should take the initiative this time."

The queen couldn't help rolling her eyes. Didn't she dislike my crow's feet? Didn't she dislike my age? Didn't she dislike my fatness?

The emperor grabbed the queen's hand and said, "Ling'er, help me unbutton my clothes."

The queen squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "I want to rest."

The emperor held the queen over and said, "It's still early."

Queen: “…” I dislike you too!

*Eastern Palace

Hehuan Hall

After taking a bath, Xiao Jinyan came to the bed and sat down.

"The investigation revealed that the person who poisoned the child was a young eunuch."

Shen Chuwei didn't understand, "Why did the eunuch poison Jiya? Jiya didn't provoke him."

The young eunuch originally served in Lanyue Palace. When Shen Liangyuan was punished to Jinleng Palace, the young eunuch was assigned to do rough labor. With gratitude in his heart, he thought of poisoning her.

Xiao Jinyan explained it succinctly.

Shen Chuwei then realized that this was the reason why her chickens and ducks were poisoned.

As Xiao Jinyan went to bed, Liu Xi's shrill voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."

Eunuch Li was a servant in the emperor's presence. When he came to the Hehuan Palace to look for someone, it was known that it was an important matter.

"You rest first." After Xiao Jinyan said this to Shen Chuwei, he started to put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

Outside the door, Eunuch Li was waiting with a pile of memorials.

"Eunuch Li, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Li took two steps forward with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the Emperor asked Zajia to bring these memorials to Your Highness for your review."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Father asked me to review the memorial?"

He has been the crown prince for more than a year, and his father has never mentioned letting him read the memorials.

Now that he is suddenly allowed to see it, does it mean that the emperor is beginning to slowly delegate power?

Eunuch Li smiled and nodded, "Your Highness, yes, that's what the Emperor meant."

Liu Xi stepped forward and took the memorial from Eunuch Li's arms.

Xiao Jinyan said: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

After Eunuch Li left, Xiao Jinyan turned around and went into the inner room.

Shen Chuwei sat at the head of the bed, not knowing what was going on, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyan paused and said, "Father has started to let me review memorials."

Beneath the calm voice, there is excitement that cannot be concealed.

What Shen Chuwei was thinking about was, "Does His Highness have to work overtime?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Well, you take a rest first, I'll be back after I finish dealing with those memorials."

After Xiao Jinyan left, Shen Chuwei lay down, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The lights in the study are bright.

Xiao Jinyan sat at his desk, looking at a pile of unreviewed memorials. He picked them up from top to bottom, opened them, and read them.

This was his first time reviewing memorials, so he was inevitably a little excited.

The next morning, Xiao Jinyan took the reviewed memorial to Yu's study.

The emperor was lazy last night, but he spent a long time with the empress, so it can be considered as overtime.

He looked at the memorials that the prince had reviewed.

The prince had beautiful handwriting and his writing was well-organized, and he did not disappoint the emperor.

"The prince is becoming more and more capable. From now on, you should also help him review the memorials." The emperor said this in a high-sounding manner, but in fact he was starting to be lazy.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his brows and nodded, "I obey your command."

On the way back to the East Palace, Xiao Jinyan was assassinated again.

No one expected that there would be an assassin in the palace.

I never expected the assassin to be so bold as to assassinate the prince in broad daylight.

The assassin is highly skilled in martial arts and is adept at using hidden weapons.

Xiao Jinyan was unable to dodge and injured his arm.

When the Guards arrived, the assassin saw that he had failed and left immediately.

This incident alarmed the entire palace. The emperor was furious and sent the guards to search for the assassin strictly, not letting go of any suspicious person.

Hehuan Hall

Xiao Jinyan's clothes were half pulled back, revealing his entire arm. After Shen Chuwei's treatment, not only did the bleeding on his strong arm stop, but the poison was also detoxified.

Shen Chuwei looked at the pool of black blood on the ground, and his delicate brows wrinkled into a knot.

The poison on the hidden weapon is a very tricky one. It requires nine kinds of poison to fight poison with poison, and if the amount is not controlled well, it will make the poison worse.

If it weren't for her spiritual spring water, Xiao Jinyan would probably have died.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan with some concern, "Your Highness, who wants to kill you?"

Xiao Jinyan frowned and said, "I don't know either, but the assassin this time is the same person as last time."

Without waiting for the emperor to call him, Lu Zhaoyan came by himself.
