The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

The imperial study is now guarded by the imperial guards, and no outsiders are allowed to get close.

Looking at where the two men were standing, Xie Zihan walked towards them quickly.

Shen Jingxuan lowered her voice and looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Master, why did you come to the imperial study just now?"

"When you left, you promised the princess that you would return home early. If you haven't returned by this hour, the princess will let you stay in the study again."

When Xie Lingxiao heard her words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a smile flashed across his face.

"Why didn't you remind me earlier? If the princess lets me stay in the study, I will deduct your salary for this month."

Seeing how seriously the two were acting, Zhao Yiliang couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Sleeping in the study? Is it okay to say such a thing in public?

Xie Zihan looked around and saw nothing unusual behind the two men. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Jingxuan looked at him as if he was a fool.

"I came to find my master and urged him to return home quickly."

Zhao Yiliang bowed his head and said, "I saw him acting sneaky and was worried that he had ulterior motives, so I followed him secretly."

You are the one with ulterior motives, and your whole family has ulterior motives.

Shen Jingxuan cursed Zhao Yilian in her heart, saying that he was useless except for causing trouble for her.

As expected, Xie Zihan heard his words and suddenly looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Why are you looking for the emperor's uncle so sneaky?"

"There are guards all around here, and I'm afraid they'll find me and arrest me."

Shen Jingxuan glanced at Xie Lingxiao and continued, "If I am arrested and fail to alert the master in time, I am afraid he will deduct all my monthly salary."

"But if I do well, the princess will reward me with a lot of silver," she added.

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't hurry up and delay my return home, I will deduct three months' salary from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yiliang saw Shen Jingxuan jogging to Xie Lingxiao's side, and then gradually walked away behind him.

Tsk, after all the deductions, the money is still in your hands.

Thinking of how serious Shen Jingxuan was, Zhao Yiliang just found it funny.

In front of so many people, Shen Jingxuan was probably the only one in the world who dared to let Xie Lingxiao stay in the study.

Xie Zihan looked at the two figures disappearing before his eyes and clenched his hands at his sides.

Still too slow.

If he continues to delay, he will never achieve his wish.

Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan noticed that the gazes on them disappeared, they smiled at each other, and quickly left the palace.

In the carriage, Shen Jingxuan couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Lingxiao pulled her into his arms and said, "My princess, is it so funny that you let me stay in the study?"

Shen Jingxuan was about to nod, but when she noticed Xie Lingxiao's dangerous gaze, she forced herself to suppress her smile.

"Is not funny."

Their eyes met, and Shen Jingxuan's laughter, which had just disappeared, rang out again.

Xie Lingxiao gently rubbed Shen Jingxuan's cheek: "Don't laugh anymore."

"How is the emperor's poison?"

Talking about business, Shen Jingxuan put away her smile and said, "Time is too urgent, we can only suppress him for the time being."

Thinking of the emperor's poison, she pursed her lips and said, "Ah Xiao, although it can be suppressed for the time being, it cannot be delayed for too long. The poison must be detoxified as soon as possible."

It has only been a short time, and the emperor's health is no longer as good as before. Coupled with the poison, his condition will only get worse.

Xie Lingxiao looked out the window quietly, and after a moment he said softly: "Xuan'er, what do you think I should do?"

Shen Jingxuan knew what he meant, but he was the only one who could make the decision on this matter.

The hatred between him and the emperor can only be resolved by the two of them alone.

Shen Jingxuan said: "Just do what you want, don't be bothered by this matter."

Xie Lingxiao seemed not to hear Shen Jingxuan's words and kept muttering to himself.

"He killed my mother, and I have done my best by not seeking revenge on him. Now he is trapped in the palace and his throne is about to be lost. This must be retribution, right?"

Shen Jingxuan smoothed his brows: "It's retribution. Even if you do nothing, he won't live long."

Hearing her words, Xie Lingxiao suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at her.

"Not much longer to live?"

"Well, if the poison is not suppressed today, he will not live for more than three months."

"And now? How long can he live?"

"If you detoxify as soon as possible and take good care of yourself, you can live a few more years. If you delay detoxification, even if you do detoxify, you will only live one or two years."

After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, the carriage instantly became quiet.

Is there only so little time left?

Xie Lingxiao didn't understand why he didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt a little worried when his enemy was about to die.

Until the carriage drove into the palace, Xie Lingxiao seemed to be lost in thought and remained silent.

Shen Jingxuan held his hand slightly harder: "Ah Xiao, it's time to get off the carriage."

Xie Lingxiao's expression stiffened slightly.

Shen Jingxuan didn't give him time to think any further and pulled him straight to the study.

Xie Lingxiao sat there without saying a word, and Shen Jingxuan stayed by his side the whole time.

When Ling Huan knocked on the door again, Xie Lingxiao said softly, "Let's eat."

He shouldn't have let Shen Jingxuan worry about him because of these things, nor should he let her delay her meal time for him.

"Xuan'er, let the past be the past. Now I just want to ask him why he did that in the first place and whether he regrets it now."

"The emperor seems to have changed. If you want, I will accompany you to the palace next time and ask him in person."

"it is good."

Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan and a smile appeared on his face again.

Now that he has Shen Jingxuan and their children by his side, it's time for him to let go of the past.

As for the emperor, perhaps living would be more painful for him than death?

After thinking everything through, Xie Lingxiao accompanied Shen Jingxuan for lunch and pestered her to take a nap together.

Before the two of them could get up, they were awakened by Ling Feng's hurried knock on the door.

"Master, there is news from Zhao Yiliang."

Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Zhao Yiliang?"

They had just met not long ago, so why didn't he mention anything when they were in the palace?

Ling Feng said: "He sent a message saying that Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong met the emperor last time to look for the imperial seal."

"The emperor offered to give him the imperial seal in exchange for seeing the master, but Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan refused."

Xie Lingxiao didn't understand why the emperor wanted to see him.

Does he want me to help him get rid of Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong?

But soon, Xie Lingxiao ruled out such thoughts.

Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered: "Since they haven't got the jade seal, Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong will never give up easily."

After what happened at the palace gate last time, Xie Zihan must be getting anxious.

"Where is Ling Chen?" Xie Lingxiao asked.

Ling Feng was about to answer when Ling Chen hurried into the room.

"Master, something happened in the palace."

Xie Lingxiao stood up suddenly: "What happened?"

"Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong suddenly summoned ministers to the palace, and now they are on their way to the palace."

Shen Jingxuan asked: "Has the palace received the news to let the prince enter the palace?"

"No." Ling Feng replied hurriedly.

Not?

As the regent, Xie Lingxiao can participate in and even make the final decisions on all matters.

Something happened in the palace, and Xie Zihan summoned all the ministers, but avoided Xie Lingxiao.
