Xiao Jingxuan, who returned to Pingman Hou Mansion, returned to his bedroom with the support of Yan Shuer and began to heal his wounds again.
In fact, it is quite speechless to say that Xiao Jingxuan just healed his injuries yesterday, but he has to heal his injuries again today.
However, Xiao Jingxuan knows that assassinations will not be uncommon in the future.
The injury this time is much more serious than yesterday. I'm afraid the injury won't be healed overnight.
The next day, Xiao Jingxuan had some simple breakfast early in the morning, then left the Hou Mansion and headed to Liang Guogong Mansion.
After arriving at Duke Liang's residence, Xiao Jingxuan did not go to Duke Liang immediately.
It's not that Xiao Jingxuan is not interested in yesterday's assassination, nor is he not curious about yesterday's heavy armored cavalry, but there are more important things now.
Yesterday, when the life and death situation was on the line, the thing that Xiao Jingxuan thought about most was not Yan Shuer, Cui Yingxue, let alone power. It was the mother who raised him.
Since I met her last time when I returned to Beijing, and later learned about her life experience, I didn’t even say goodbye to my mother when I left.
Forget it, it has been more than ten days since I took office at Zuo Xiaowei, but I still haven't gone to say hello to my mother, which is really unfilial.
Arriving outside his mother's hospital, Xiao Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and then walked straight in.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Xiao Jingxuan saw his mother sitting in the yard, sewing a piece of clothing in her hand.
Xiao Jingxuan calmed down, walked over as if nothing had happened, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, my son is here to pay you respects."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan holding his hands in salute, Yun Niang was not too surprised, but continued to sew the clothes in her hands.
"Why are you here alone? Where is Shu'er?"
"Oh, mother, you also know that the emperor has just rewarded his son with a mansion, and Shu'er is cleaning it up right now."
"You, you have been busy all day and have no time. It's okay. The man has his ambitions in all directions. But you have also seen that I am really too busy every day. How about you let Shu'er give me a grandson so that my mother can have a grandson every day?"
Got something to do."
"Uh, Mom, it's still early, the baby has just arrived..."
"Don't make excuses for me. You have been at the border for several years. If you want to make a difference, my mother will not stop you. But look, Master Jingtang's child is already one year old. He is three years younger than you."
…
Faced with his mother's nagging, Xiao Jingxuan did not feel impatient. After his mother said that his mouth was dry, Xiao Jingxuan poured a cup of tea for his mother and handed it to her.
After his mother finished drinking tea, seeing that her mother was still planning to nag, Xiao Jingxuan quickly said: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Yun Niang looked at Xiao Jingxuan and said speechlessly: "I know you are hungry, but you haven't agreed to what Mom said."
Yun Niang said this, but her movements were very slippery, she had already stood up and walked towards the kitchen."
In fact, there were already two maids in the mother's room at this time, and many things no longer needed to be done personally as before. However, the mother still did not arrange for the maids to prepare meals for Xiao Jingxuan, but did it herself.
After having dinner with his mother in his mother's yard, the two of them chatted for a while before Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye and left.
After being reported by the steward, Xiao Jingxuan met Liang Guogong in the study.
After the salute, Jam Hsiao stood aside. He didn’t ask or say anything.
Liang Guogong looked at his son standing aside with a complicated expression. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Xuan'er, you are too reckless. You have already threatened several princes. Life will not be easy in the future.
.”
Xiao Jingxuan shrugged indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, it will happen sooner or later."
"I know the questions in your mind, that's all, I'll tell you.
I really don’t know who did it, and I haven’t found out yet, but the three people who are most suspected are the ones who did it.
As for those cavalry..."
Duke Liang hesitated when he said this, pondered for a while, and said: "Those cavalrymen are the foundation of Duke Liang's mansion. I know what you are curious about. Although these cavalrymen are all very skilled, they are not suitable for long-term battles.
Moreover, these people achieved such achievements at the expense of their future martial arts potential."
Seeing that the Duke finally revealed some violent news, Xiao Jingxuan asked curiously: "Those wealthy families should also have training, right?"
"Although there are different types, there are almost some of them."
"Can you tell me more about it?"
"Those aristocratic families will train some dead soldiers to do some things that are inconvenient for them to do, while some noble families will train their personal guards.
This is no secret, after all, these are a group of guys who have lost their potential, and none of them will live longer than forty years old."
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned.
"This is too cruel."
"It doesn't matter. People in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs. It may be a bit cruel to you, but those dead soldiers can get the power that others only dream of and get a chance to live."
Seeing that Xiao Jingxuan was still a little frightened, the Duke continued: "These people are not many. With the financial resources of Liang Guogong's mansion, they can only train thirty-six people, and other noble families probably will not exceed this number.
What do you think of the people at the border? They lived in fear and died inhumanely.
What's wrong with them? It's just the way of heaven. It must be true for them that becoming a dead soldier is actually a good choice."
"How come their martial arts skills are so high?"
"It's not high. It's just that the drug has made them lose their sense of pain. The sequelae will appear when the battle is over."
When he saw Xiao Jingxuan and wanted to ask again, Liang Guogong quickly interrupted Xiao Jingxuan.
"Okay, don't ask. You will understand these things later. Is there anything else?"
"I'm very surprised. Even if I was once a prince, is there any evidence? Besides, now I'm just a concubine of the Duke's palace, so I pose no threat to those people."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's appearance, the Duke was speechless and said: "What do you think a prince is? Let alone a legitimate son, you underestimate the weight of the Liangzhou cavalry.
Although your grandfather only saved your life, the royal family is not only the emperor, but also the royal clan. They will never allow the royal children to live among the people, and the royal bloodline is impure.
Although many people don’t know some things, there is still your Jade Butterfly in the clan’s mansion. Even your name is there. You are the legitimate son of the royal family.”
After hearing what the Duke said, Xiao Jingxuan was a little surprised and asked: "Then how could the emperor allow such a thing to exist? This is a shocking scandal."
"So what, there are naturally people in the clan that even the emperor needs to be wary of. Although these people will not interfere with the change of the throne, they will ensure the purity of the bloodline."
After hearing these words, Xiao Jingxuan finally had some enlightenment in his heart. Some things were finally figured out.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's appearance, Liang Guogong continued: "There is news from the palace that the emperor wants to see you. This is also the main reason why you were assassinated."
"He wants to see me?"
"Well, I don't know how, but it's just in the past few days."
Now that all the questions have been asked, Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye and left.
As soon as he returned to the palace, a palace servant came to announce the decree. It turned out that the emperor planned to go hunting and ordered Zuo Xiaowei and Jinwuwei to escort him.
After exchanging pleasantries with the imperial eunuch and offering some local specialties, Xiao Jingxuan dismissed him.
Holding the imperial edict, Xiao Jingxuan said to Xu Ce beside him: "Old Xu, has the order to mobilize troops been issued?"
Xu Ce nodded and said: "It has been issued, but it will probably take at least a month for them to come over."
"Eight hundred miles is urgent, and since they are all cavalry, it will take about a month. The emperor plans to hunt in ten days, so you can go and make arrangements.
Remember, it doesn’t matter if you connect the outer parts, don’t touch the key places. The capital is a place of tigers and wolves, and if you are not careful, you may get caught here.”
"Yes, I will make the arrangements right now, but I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for me to hand over to Jin Wuwei, right?"
"You just said that I was assassinated and seriously injured. You have full authority to deal with it for the time being. After I recover from my injuries, I will go back to inspect."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
After Xu Ce retreated, Xiao Jingxuan entered the backyard with Yan Shuer's support.
After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Jingxuan looked at Yan Shu'er who was busy pouring water for himself and said: "Shu'er, we will get married in a few days. What do you think?"
Although Xiao Jingxuan told the generals that Yan Shuer was his concubine when he was in Fengzhou, no ceremony was held.
After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Yan Shuer's face turned slightly red, but she still whispered: "Well, I listen to Xuan Lang."
"Well, when the time comes, I'll discuss it with my father, but I can't make a big deal about it, and I'll feel a little wronged to you."
"With Xuan Lang's words, Shu'er will not feel wronged."
"When you have nothing to do, go and visit your mother. She is alone and I am not around, so she seems a little deserted."
"Yeah, I understand. I'm going to see my mother in the next two days."
…
The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Jingxuan began to practice cross-legged exercises to recuperate from his injuries.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Jingxuan finally finished his work and finished recuperating from his injuries.
When Xiao Jingxuan walked out of the room, Yan Shuer came over. Apparently she had been waiting outside the room for a long time.
"Xuanlang, are you hungry? The food is ready. How about we eat something first?"
"Well, let's eat. I feel very hungry after hearing what you said."
After dinner, Xiao Jingxuan did not rush to do anything, but went to the garden to relax with Yan Shuer.
Listening patiently to Yan Shu'er talking about the trivial matters in the house, Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and said: "Shu'er, when you have nothing to do, you can also go out of the house to relax and buy rouge, gouache, silk and satin. Our family is not short of money now.
"
Hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Yan Shuer smiled and said: "I will not save you money, but now that the Hou Mansion has just been established, there are too many chores that have not been sorted out."
Seeing that the sunshine was good, Xiao Jingxuan asked someone to bring a deck chair and place it by the pond. He and Yan Shuer sat on the deck chair, eating fruit and chatting about home life. This day, it was really enviable.
In the next two days, apart from practicing martial arts, Xiao Jingxuan spent the rest of the time with Yan Shu'er. In addition to recuperating in the house, Xiao Jingxuan also took Yan Shu'er for a walk on the street.
