Jing Qiaoqiao clapped her hands, stood up, and looked at Master Jiuli's receding back.
He walked over silently and closed the window.
"Yingying, don't stay outside. What if the Imperial Guards mistake you for an assassin and kill you?"
The eagle flapped its wings, responded, flew into the palace, and landed on the ground.
"Come in."
Lu Xiaojia received the order, pushed open the palace door and let his nephew in.
My eldest nephew looked unhappy and gloomy, like a dark cloud.
Jing Qiaoqiao walked over and sat down slowly.
The eldest nephew glanced at her and asked, "Auntie, how are you doing recently?"
"It's great. I eat well and sleep well every day." Jing Qiaoqiao swallowed the headaches and pain.
But when my nephew heard this answer, he felt even more sad.
"My fifth nephew has already told me about the assassination."
"That was a trap set by my aunt." Jing Qiaoqiao raised her chin proudly, "I wasn't the one who got hurt."
"I know." The nephew walked over to Jing Qiaoqiao and sat down next to her. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Lin can't beat my aunt in this matter."
"What a discerning eye."
The eldest nephew clenched his fingers tightly, and the questions he wanted to ask were all stuck in his throat.
"By the way, nephew, I just have something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"Don't underestimate my aunt because she's the queen. In fact, there are people watching covetously, and countless people want to find fault with her. Now my aunt is still here, if one day she passes away..."
"Aunt is leaving?" The eldest nephew's tentative eyes were full of sadness.
Jing Qiaoqiao quickly explained, "What I mean is that sooner or later I will go to heaven and live my own life. When I'm gone, you will need to take care of yourselves."
"Couldn't you wait until we die before leaving?"
"Ah, let's talk about this later. The most important thing now is another matter."
Seeing her nephew was trying to get to the bottom of the matter, Jing Qiaoqiao quickly changed the subject, "You are in the general's mansion, and you can only mobilize troops after seeing the tiger talisman. I think this is very bad."
"What does my aunt mean?"
"Since they are the Jing family army, they must unconditionally obey the orders of you, the general. Therefore, the principle that the tiger talisman cannot be used to deploy troops needs to be broken."
Jing Qiaoqiao's small hand fell on her nephew's arm. "The Jing family army can only obey your orders. Even if someone steals the tiger talisman, it won't work."
My nephew has never heard of such measures.
Looked very shocked.
"Dad's death should give us some reminders and advice." Jing Qiaoqiao used only this reason to perfunctorily answer her nephew.
The eldest nephew was no longer stubborn and said, "I understand. Don't worry, little aunt, I will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Hey, you talk as if we are going to separate." Jing Qiaoqiao held her nephew's hand and looked at him gently.
My eldest nephew is so kind, he always listens to me. How can I feel at ease with a family like this?
[If Xiao Lin was reborn and I wasn't around, would my nephew still be respected and still be alive today?]
What if I follow my father's old path, or get deceived by Chu Fu?
Jing Qiaoqiao burst into tears without realizing it.
The eldest nephew raised his hand and wiped it off for Jing Qiaoqiao: "Nephew will definitely find a way to let little aunt accompany us until we grow old."
This was all he said when he left.
Jing Qiaoqiao didn't understand what he meant.
"I wonder if he understands it?"
Lu Xiaojia watched General Jing's receding figure and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, Queen. General Jing is very intelligent and will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."
"By the way, Lu Xiaojia, how's the Queen doing?"
"The imperial physician said that the Queen's hand is no longer seriously injured. The Queen can rest assured."
"In the next few days, have the Imperial Kitchen prepare more nutritious and delicious meals for the Queen. Oh, and send a few more maids and eunuchs to keep watch over her at all times."
"Yes, Queen."
"Come back, to..." When Jing Qiaoqiao mentioned this, Lu Xiaojia buried his head and smiled, "to protect the Queen every step of the way."
"Yes, Lu Xiaojia, I trust you to do the job."
After that day, Jing Qiaoqiao went to see Xiao Lin as soon as she got out of court.
Xiao Lin was lying on the bed when two imperial concubines came to visit him.
Some tonic ginseng soup was also prepared.
Who would have thought that something would happen when Jing Qiaoqiao went to visit.
Xiao Lin vomited blood after drinking the ginseng soup sent by the imperial concubine.
The imperial physician took a look and found that the ginseng soup was poisonous.
"Is this ginseng soup...really poisonous?"
After hearing this, the imperial concubine who was making the soup prostrated herself and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not poison the Empress."
Xiao Lin propped himself up against the quilt, pretending to be weak: "Empress, the imperial concubine wouldn't think of poisoning me."
[Okay, Xiao Lin, you're restless even when you're lying in bed, and you're trying to kill the two concubines beside me. Very good. Xiao Lin, I'll satisfy you.]
"You...you actually dared to poison the queen..." Jing Qiaoqiao knelt down, grabbed the collar of a noble concubine with her fleshy hands, and whispered, "Pretend."
After hearing what Jing Qiaoqiao said, the imperial concubine cried and protested that she was wronged.
"Take him away."
As soon as Jing Qiaoqiao gave the order, a eunuch came up and escorted the imperial concubine away.
Seeing that Jing Qiaoqiao was not fooled, Xiao Lin actually pampered him in front of so many people.
He began to feel uneasy.
The more foolproof something is, the more suspicious it becomes.
However, Jing Qiaoqiao knew that the plan between her and Xiao Lin must not harm others.
He reached out and took the remaining ginseng soup and drank it all in front of Xiao Lin.
