System, help me become the empress

Chapter 206
God bless seven years, August .

Royal study.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold on any longer!

No. 16 days when she lost Xixi's news, she really didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yu is here." Zhou Yuxue humbly said. Recently, His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood.

Yu Xuejing walked into the imperial study room, his eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao, his face turned pale instantly, and he didn't even call out the word 'Your Majesty'.

"You step back first."

With a cold face, Xu Xiaoxiao gave Zhou Xixue instructions.

"Yes."

Zhou Huixue was keenly aware of the weird atmosphere between the two, but he still didn't dare to ask anything.

This commander has been with His Majesty since he was a child, and the two have a strong relationship, which is not something he can casually figure out.

Zhou Huixue closed the door lightly, and told the guards guarding the door to stand far away, so as not to interfere with His Majesty's discussion of important matters.

"When did Your Majesty leave?" Yu Xuejing's voice broke the silence first.

"Before Mid-Autumn Festival."

"When will you be back?"

Xu Xiaoxiao paused: "Before Xixi left, she said that she would arrive in Shangjing before the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and go directly to the morning court when she came back, but now I really can't procrastinate."

Mid-Autumn Festival?

It's been ten days.

Yu Xuejing clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, suppressing his emotions: "What do you mean?"

"Xixi, she's gone." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Xuejing, "So I stayed in Shangjing to stabilize the government, and you go to Jiangnan to find someone."

"Are you trying to send me away?" Yu Xuejing's questioning eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes were cold, "Is your Majesty's disappearance related to you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was laughed out of anger, she couldn't understand Yu Xue Jing's brain circuit, why did he suspect that he would rebel? ? ?

Who wants to sit on this broken throne from four to eleven!

"Then you stay in Shangjing and guard the government, and I will go to Jiangnan to find Xixi." Xu Xiaoxiao's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Yu Xuejing pondered for a while: "Does anyone else know about your early court for His Majesty?"

"Master Jiang...he saw Xixi leave the capital."

"Tell me all you know about His Majesty."

"Grand Master Jiang said, you have to find someone yourself to find it."

Xu Xiaoxiao unexpectedly discovered that since she mentioned Jiang Taishi, Yu Xuejing's attitude towards her has obviously improved; Yu Xuejing can handle it.

"it is good."

Yu Xuejing agreed.

"Are you not afraid that I will seize power and usurp the throne now?" Xu Xiaoxiao did not forget to add fuel to the fire.

Yu Xuejing said indifferently: "Just try."

Xu Xiaoxiao's smile froze for a moment. It's not that she didn't dare to try. The main reason was that she was afraid that if she succeeded by accident, it would really be impossible to end.

Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in a 'backpack'!

Liming common people, none of her business.

She also couldn't understand why Xixi would spend so much time thinking and forgetting to eat and sleep for this group of irrelevant strangers day after day.

"As a result of the train boiler accident, one died and one disappeared. I suspect that the missing person is Xixi."

"why?"

"Intuition." Xu Xiaoxiao said vaguely, "Master Jiang said to trust my intuition."

Yu Xuejing took a deep look at Xu Xiaoxiao: "I will leave immediately, Xu Xiaoxiao, I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of you."

what to expect?
Do you expect her to be the crown prince?
Just thinking about it is scary.

After Yu Xue Jing left the Imperial Study Room, he immediately visited Jiang Zuo and verified Xu Xiaoxiao's statement, then called Xu Ling and reprimanded him, "Kneel down!"

Xu Ling's knees hit the ground in an instant, and he buried his head firmly: "My lord."

"You were asked to protect His Majesty, how did you do it?"

Xu Ling was reprimanded at a loss: "Your Majesty, hasn't she stayed in the palace all the time?"

Yu Xuejing smashed the tea cup at Xu Ling's side forcefully, and the tea water splashed on his body. The room was so quiet that he could hear a 'needle' fall clearly: "The one in the palace is your Majesty's substitute. , I trust you enough to arrange for you to protect His Majesty, but in the end you can't even tell a substitute!"

"This subordinate deserves to die." Xu Ling knocked his head on the ground in a panic. No wonder he didn't see His Majesty talking, and he didn't allow him to hang around all the time.

"Go and receive the whip."

"Yes, my lord."

"Wait." Yu Xuejing suddenly stopped Xu Ling, "I'm going to Jiangnan, if you receive news about something wrong in Shangjing, you should know what to do, right?"

Xu Ling asked tentatively: "What should my subordinates know?"

"...Jin Yiwei's control cannot be left in the hands of the stand-in. If conditions permit, we will try our best to kill the stand-in."

What Yu Xuejing was most worried about was that Xu Xiaoxiao deliberately found an excuse to get himself to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and took the opportunity to seize the control of Jinyiwei in Shangjing.

As long as she gets rid of the few insiders who know about the 'substitute', she can sit back and relax.

But Yu Xuejing couldn't help but go to Xu Youxi to ensure His Majesty's safety and well-being, which was more important than anything else.

However, at this time.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who stayed in the palace, didn't have so many messy thoughts at all.After she finally finished approving the daily memorial, her only thought was to hug her pillow tightly and go to sleep.

This kind of barren sleep can't support her body which is still developing!

If Xixi doesn't come back, she will be scrapped!
……

Although Yu Xuejing left Shangjing in a relatively low-key manner, he still couldn't hide it from the eyes of a group of people in the court.

I don't know where it came from first, because His Majesty was afraid of Jin Yiwei's too much power, he dispatched the former commander Yu Xue Jingfa, and planned to reuse Xu Ling, the commander of Beizhen Fusi.

For a while, Xu Ling's family was full of people.

Various officials sent congratulatory gifts and came to congratulate in person.

In order not to show any strangeness, Xu Ling could only endure the pain of repeated cracking of the whip, and numbly kept seeing and seeing off guests.He deeply suspected that this whipping was not a punishment, and the real punishment would start from now.

"My lord, do we have to back up the gift and send it to Commander Xu?"

"No delivery."

Yao Dacheng said categorically.

"But now that Yu Commander has been dispatched, we have to show something, right?"

"Allotment? I've never heard of it. Allocating people to wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Such a good thing never falls on me."

"Too."

"To put it nicely, Xue Jing respectfully calls him a commander. To put it bluntly, he is a knife of His Majesty, a murderous weapon that will always live in the dark. What is there to be afraid of? Instead of wondering whether Xue Jing was If His Majesty is alienated, it is better to worry about whether some people on the Jiangnan side violated His Majesty's bottom line."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Bao Changnian and Meng Zhiqian. They definitely didn't give it away." Yao Dacheng shook his head and began to deal with the matter at hand, "By the way, how is Pei Yao?"

"A while ago, the imperial court signed a 'steam engine' export contract with several overseas countries. The export of steam engines is also the export of goods from Qihuo Shop by sea. Miss, I may not be able to return for the time being."

"……Fine."
