The eldest nephew held Jing Qiaoqiao and walked to the carriage.
Tap gently.
As the curtain of the carriage opened, a servant said, "General Jing, our master wants to see you."
"good."
The servant reached out and wanted to hug Jing Qiaoqiao.
The eldest nephew shook his head: "Sorry, my aunt is shy and will cry."
The servant withdrew his hand awkwardly and lifted the curtain.
The carriage moved slowly.
The eldest nephew looked at the imperial physician who was sitting opposite him and bowed, and said quickly: "Doctor Gong, please stand up."
"Thank you, General."
"Noble Concubine Yue is carrying that bottle of potion to rescue His Majesty. Have you arranged for anyone to stop her?"
"It was arranged. She arrived one stick of incense after His Majesty passed away." Doctor Gong smiled faintly. "It was also thanks to General Jing that he was able to accurately calculate the time it would take to get from Concubine Yue's palace to His Majesty's bedroom."
"She's the favorite concubine, so naturally she's concerned about His Majesty. She would have rushed to His Majesty's chambers very quickly, so I estimated the time she'd arrive. Also... thanks to Imperial Physician Gong's help, this matter didn't involve the General's Mansion."
"General Jing, you are joking. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." Doctor Gong saluted respectfully again.
The eldest nephew raised his hand and said, "Okay, don't thank me. Now that His Majesty has passed away, the palace will be very busy from now on. Everyone, it's hard to relax."
"yes."
The eldest nephew lifted the car curtain and looked at the street market: "Okay, let's stop here. I have to take my aunt to get something."
[I'm sure my nephew wants to get the longevity lock for me.]
【Just thinking about it makes me happy.】
As he got off the carriage and was about to enter the inn, he saw Hou Junsheng waiting for him.
"You again?"
"His Majesty has passed away, and you've slipped away so quickly."
"I'll have to enter the palace sooner or later anyway." The eldest nephew lifted Jing Qiaoqiao into his arms, "Besides, I promised to take my aunt for a stroll, and I can't go back on my word."
"If the cute little princess didn't have any special qualities, would you still carry her wherever you go?"
Hou Junsheng: I’m not stupid, bah.
【You asked me this question. I am not that special.】
[The title of Little God was created by everyone.]
[Speaking of which, Mu Qingran is indeed special, but she doesn't want anyone else except her niece, Zhuzhu, to follow her.]
The eldest nephew analyzed calmly: "Look at what you said, my aunt is the child that my grandmother gave birth to at an advanced age. She was originally the most favored in our family.
Besides, my grandfather is dead. If he were still alive, my aunt would not only be loved by my grandmother, but also by my grandfather."
"Alright, Jing Shenghan, I can't argue with you." Hou Junsheng put his hands behind his back, "But don't be too happy. Now that His Majesty has passed away, a prince will immediately take the throne."
"You don't even need to tell me that!"
"Jing Shenghan, could you please stop being so unreasonable? It's true, I went too far when you were framed and imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
But what about you? Brother Pei is such an outstanding person, why are you unwilling to let him live? "Hou Junsheng's eyes were red, "Brother Pei is my confidant, I know him very well."
"I know Pei Zhiqian is exceptionally talented, but I only discovered his character after researching him. He deserves his own death. You can't blame anyone else." The eldest nephew said indifferently, "Besides, Lord Hou, you've been in Kyoto for so long, haven't you seen someone who looks very similar to Pei Zhiqian?"
"You mean... Mei Qingyi from Dongning Courtyard?"
The eldest nephew nodded.
Hou Junsheng crossed his arms and said proudly, "There are so many people who look alike, and there are so many talented actors. But when I, Hou Junsheng, make friends, I naturally value that person. How can Brother Pei be replaced by a substitute?"
[Don't mention it, Hou Junsheng is a pretty good person. At least being his friend is a good thing.]
[But I have a conflict with my nephew. Tsk tsk, we can't be together anymore.]
"This is the first time I've noticed that Lord Hou is a little different."
Hou Junsheng stared at his nephew with surprise, "I now realize, Jing Shenghan, you are also very different."
"Master Hou, do you think I'm just saying this to please you?" The eldest nephew stepped forward and teased with narrowed eyes, "If my aunt didn't like you, I wouldn't necessarily pay attention to you."
Hou Junsheng looked at Jing Qiaoqiao and said, "Your aunt must like my box of longevity locks."
"I forgot to remind Lord Hou that we made a deal. That box of longevity locks is now mine." The eldest nephew kicked Hou Junsheng as he went upstairs.
Hou Junsheng gritted his teeth downstairs, pointed at his nephew's back, and cursed angrily, "Shameless villain!"
But the nephew ignored him at all.
After taking away a box of longevity locks, the nephew prepared to return to the general's mansion.
At that time, in the yard, the old lady was kneeling in the ancestral hall, burning incense to the deceased General Jing Yan.
When the eldest nephew arrived, his sister-in-law stopped him and said, "Hurry up, go burn some incense for your grandfather too."
"yes."
"Wait, ma'am, we haven't asked yet..."
"Forget it, I'll ask later."
The eldest nephew put Jing Qiaoqiao in his eldest brother's arms, then got up and went to the ancestral hall.
The whole family was waiting in the main hall.
After burning incense, when I came back, a long time had passed.
However, Jing Qiaoqiao discovered that the old lady was in a good mood.
His face was full of smiles.
She was also wearing a gorgeous dress.
"Mom, are you okay?"
The second brother came forward and asked.
"What could possibly happen to mother? That bastard emperor is dead, and your father's great hatred has been avenged. Mother should be happy." The old lady gestured at the dress she was wearing. "This is what mother wore when she gave it to your father. How do you like it?"
