Chapter 245
The next day.
Xiao He received news from the palace early in the morning that the emperor wanted to see him.
Regarding this matter, he actually guessed it yesterday.
Taifu Qiu must tell the emperor about this, and the emperor will definitely be anxious to see him after knowing it.
I just didn't expect it to be so early.
At this time, even if the morning court is not over yet, the emperor can’t wait to send someone to the Xiao family!
Ji Yue waited on Xiao He to change his clothes.
His master entered the palace again after five years, so he had to dress smartly.
Let others see that the former General Xiao is still as high-spirited as ever!
However, his master's thoughts were obviously not on this.
Ji Yue followed Xiao He's line of sight and looked out the window, and couldn't help but smile, "The young lady will have to get up later!"
In about half an hour, the eldest mistress should come out.
Xiao He heard the joke in Ji Yue's smile, and his eyebrows sank, "I didn't wait for her."
"I know!" Ji Yue said happily, "The young master is just looking at the wind."
Looking out the window, apart from the eldest mistress’s room, there is more than just wind?
Xiao He was stunned. He didn't expect Ji Yue to dare to tease him like this. He couldn't help but glared at Ji Yue, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut your tongue out."
The cheeks were slightly reddened unnoticeably.
Ji Yue saw it, but he just smiled and said nothing.
After all, his master's legs are healed now, so it's still easy to kick him.
Half an hour later, Xiao He entered the palace.
Striding into the door of the imperial study, Xiao He stepped forward, knelt down and saluted the emperor, "General Xiao He, please see the emperor."
In fact, Xiao He is no longer a general and should not call himself the last general.
But Xiao He knew that the emperor had been waiting for him to say "Xiao He, the last general" for five years.
I saw that bright yellow figure suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, walked around the table, and walked quickly towards him.
"Let me see it!"
The voice trembled.
The emperor stretched out his hands and helped Xiao He up.
Looking at Xiao He, who was standing a head taller than him at the moment, and looking at his straight figure, the emperor's eyes were filled with emotion, "Today, Master Qiu mentioned this matter to the court. I still don't believe it. No." Think of it, you really stood up!"
Xiao He responded truthfully, "Thanks to my wife's acupuncture treatment for Mo Jiang every day, Mo Jiang will be able to stand up again."
Wife?
The emperor realized that Xiao He was talking about Qiao Nian.
But he was surprised, "That girl knows medical skills?"
"I heard that I got the guidance of a miraculous doctor who escaped from the world." Xiao He responded.
However, the emperor frowned slightly, "But that's not right! Back then, the entire Imperial Hospital said that your legs were useless and you would never be able to stand up again in this life!"
Xiao He took a deep breath and then said, "I dare not lie to the emperor. In fact, in the past five years, the general has been suffering from leg diseases day and night, and he is in pain. When his wife found out about this, he informed the magic doctor about the general's condition. It is asserted that the general’s legs were caused by poisoning.”
Five years ago, Xiao He was the youngest general in Jingguo and the emperor's most capable assistant. He was invincible wherever he went. It is the sharpest weapon in the hands of the emperor after the Five Kings Rebellion.
However, he was poisoned and became disabled, so that the military power almost fell into the hands of others. If Xiao Heng hadn't stepped forward to take over, I don't know what the situation in the court would be like now.
It is self-evident how many conspiracies and intrigues are hidden in this.
The emperor's face also became serious.
He always thought that Xiao He's disability was an accident, and the turmoil caused by military power was also an accident.
But now, it is obvious that all this was done deliberately.
At that moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know who poisoned you?"
A beautiful figure instantly appeared in Xiao He's mind.
According to what Qiao Nian said before, this person is the most likely to poison him.
However, all kinds of memories from the past came to mind, Xiao He clenched his fist slightly, but after all, he did not say the name.
He just shook his head slightly and said, "After I injured my leg that year, I came into contact with too many people. I don't know who poisoned me..."
Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly.
Yes, when Xiao He was carried back to Beijing from the battlefield, how many people took care of him along the way?
After returning to Beijing, he was seen by many imperial doctors.
Among them, who committed the poison, and how can we trace it?
Thinking of this, the emperor let out a long sigh and said, "I have no choice but to be here. Now the court is considered stable, and your second brother is as brave as you. Even if the people who harmed you at the beginning find out that your legs have recovered, they will definitely not I won’t attack you again.”
After all, military power is now in Xiao Heng's hands.
Xiao He thought the same way. He knew that he was definitely safe now.
Therefore, he did not deliberately hide the fact that he had recovered from his leg disease.
However, he couldn't help but think about what the person who poisoned him would think if he knew about it...
It was already after noon when I left the palace.
The emperor was delighted and talked a lot with him. He even stayed with him for lunch before letting him come back.
The carriage was driving slowly on the street, and Xiao He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and look out.
The flags of wine shops on the street are hung high, swaying gently in the wind, and the waiters stand outside the doors with smiles on their faces, soliciting passers-by.
In the teahouse, the old people shook their cattail fans, the heat of the tea rose up, and the storyteller was talking about chivalry in the world, joyful grudges, and grudges.
Sometimes, children would walk through the streets and alleys, shaking the candy figures in their hands, which actually shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.
He hadn't seen such an ordinary street scene for a long time.
The last time the carriage went out for a tour, it was for Jing Yan, and he was in a hurry to take care of these things.
And now, with such ordinary yet beautiful things falling into his eyes, how could Xiao He not be excited.
He finally spoke and stopped the carriage.
Ji Yue asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the young master?"
But Xiao He saw an unspeakable excitement under his cold face, "I want to walk."
Those two words were said very lightly.
Ji Yue didn't know why, but his nose suddenly felt sore, and he nodded immediately, "Okay."
Xiao He got off the car, and it happened that a woman holding a child passed by him.
The fragrance of the fructose in the child's hand lingered for a long time, as if it wrapped him up, and finally made him feel how happy it was to be able to integrate into this ordinary street scene.
He looked forward and saw a group of children gathered in front of a small candy stand not far away.
He thought that the candy must be delicious, so he could buy some back for Nian Nian to try.
He went forward and lined up.
But he heard a group of children not far away, spinning and reciting a nursery rhyme that he didn't know where he came from:
There is a red plum blossom in the Lin family, it was only known to be fake when it was fifteen years old after being pampered, the five elements and eight characters are harder than iron, and whoever she marries will be the nemesis of that family.
In an instant, Xiao He's eyebrows darkened.
The comfortable and leisurely atmosphere just now dissipated in an instant, replaced by an extremely cold and violent aura.
He turned around and walked towards the group of children, grabbed the shoulder of the oldest child, and forced him to stop.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a cold smile, "Who taught you this nursery rhyme?"
