Go to Qingqiu together

Xu Qingjian thought that Shen Xubai was going to scold him, but he didn't expect it to be such a sentence, and he immediately froze in place.

"Don't understand, I'll tell you to come and sit down." Seeing that Xu Qingjian didn't move for a long time, Shen Xubai couldn't help frowning.

When Xu Qingjian came back to his senses, his eye sockets became inexplicably hot, and he even felt like crying.

In fact, it was nothing at first, even if Shen Xubai scolded him severely, it would be fine, but Shen Xubai not only didn't scold him, but also cared about him, Xu Qingjian suddenly became hypocritical, and even the circles of his eyes began to turn red.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing Xu Qingjian's appearance of about to cry, Shen Xubai was stunned for a moment.

Xu Qingjian choked up a nonsense reason: "Leg, leg is numb..."

In fact, he was often punished to kneel in the past, kneeling for a day and a night is a common occurrence, although his legs are painful and numb now, but it is completely tolerable.

It's just that his mind is in chaos now, and he can't think of any other reasons at all.

Shen Xubai didn't expect Xu Qingjian to answer like that, he was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.

Then Shen Xubai went straight to Xu Qingjian, picked him up, and put him on a chair beside him.

"I'm going to cry for such a trivial matter, and I'm hopeless." Shen Xubai squatted down, and cursed while pulling up Xu Qingjian's trouser legs.

Xu Qingjian sat obediently and listened to Shen Xubai scolding herself without saying a word.

"Who asked you to kneel with me, and you don't know how to get up when you feel uncomfortable. You should say that you deserve it." Shen Xubai said again.

Every word he said was accusing Xu Qingjian, but every word was full of concern, and it fell into Xu Qingjian's ears, which made him even more confused.

"I'm sorry..." Xu Qingjian apologized softly.

Hearing Xu Qingjian's apology, Shen Xubai didn't blame him anymore, but just looked down at Xu Qingjian's knees, which were already bruised.

"I'll get the medicinal wine later and rub it for you." Shen Xubai pressed his knee lightly: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Qingjian quickly shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately asked Shen Xubai: "Why didn't you scold me?"

As soon as the words finished, Xu Qingjian was glared at by Shen Xubai, and he immediately shrank his head in fear.

"Is it useful for me to scold you?" Shen Xubai said with a cold snort.

Anyway, if you don't listen to scolding, it's better not to waste these tongues.

Xu Qingjian blinked in embarrassment, and stopped talking wisely.

"Wait, I'll get the medicinal wine." Shen Xubai stood up and said to Xu Qingjian.

Xu Qingjian nodded hurriedly.

From that day on, Shen Xubai became more vigilant towards the Queen Mother, and every day sent additional people to protect Nian Nian in secret, so as to prevent the Queen Mother from taking Nian Nian away.

Every day after school, Xu Qingjian or Shen Xubai would pick him up in person.

After a period of time, there was no movement from the queen mother's side, and the two of them felt relieved.

Just when they thought that the queen mother would not do anything in the near future, the queen mother sent someone to Ning Wangfu again.

It just so happened that Shen Xubai was away from the house these few days, so Xu Qingjian almost subconsciously wanted to run away, he always felt that these people must be coming for him.

But before Xu Qingjian could make a move, Steward Liu was captured by those sent by the Queen Mother.

I saw two strong guards pressing Butler Liu to the ground expressionlessly.

"Hey, take it easy, I'm an old bone..." Butler Liu said painfully while supporting his waist.

Xu Qingjian was about to run, but when he saw Steward Liu was caught, he immediately stopped and looked at them hesitantly, wondering whether he should run or not.

At this moment, Hong Ling, the maidservant next to the Queen Mother, slowly stepped forward and looked up at Xu Qingjian.

The moment Xu Qingjian met her gaze, Xu Qingjian froze for a moment.

"We have no intention of embarrassing Mr. Xu. Today, we are here at the order of the Queen Mother to invite Mr. Xu to go to the palace to have a talk with the Queen Mother." Hong Ling said in a deep voice.

"I won't go." Xu Qingjian refused without saying a word.

A dangerous person like the queen mother, who knows if he will survive after entering the palace.

What's more, Shen Xubai is not in the mansion now, let alone when he will come back, the Empress Dowager took advantage of this opportunity to send someone to the mansion to arrest him, obviously it was on purpose.

Being rejected by Xu Qingjian, Hong Ling was not annoyed, she just walked towards Butler Liu, and pulled out a long sword from the waist of one of the guards who was holding Butler Liu.

Without the slightest hesitation, the tip of the sword pointed straight at Butler Liu's throat.

"Don't, don't, don't... Miss Hongling, calm down!" Butler Liu was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Xu Qingjian was also taken aback, and subconsciously took a step forward: "Don't touch him!"

"If Young Master Xu refuses to agree, then Hongling has no choice but to..." Hongling raised her eyes to look at Xu Qingjian, she didn't say the whole thing, but the meaning she wanted to express was already self-evident.

Xu Qingjian gritted his teeth and stared at Hongling fiercely.

And Hongling just looked at him, her gaze was as sharp as a poisonous snake, Xu Qingjian was sure that she would stab that long sword into Liu Butler's throat at any moment.

"If you touch him, I won't let you go when the prince returns!" Xu Qingjian gritted his teeth.

He had really underestimated this Hongling before, but he never thought that she would have such courage, and her skill was also very good.

"If I can't take you away today, the queen mother will not let me go." Hongling replied coldly.

As she said that, the long sword in her hand was pushed forward a little more, and it was almost attached to Steward Liu's skin, and if she tried harder, it would cut open the flesh.

"I'll just go with you guys, let him go!" Xu Qingjian didn't have time to think, so he agreed aloud.

Hearing Xu Qingjian's words, Butler Liu's eyes widened: "No, if you enter the palace like this, it's like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!"

"Shut up!" Hong Ling cursed sharply.

Then, she made another look at the guards beside her, and immediately some of them stepped forward and tied Xu Qingjian up with a rope.

Seeing that Xu Qingjian was tightly bound and there was really no way to escape, Hongling looked away and asked the two to let Steward Liu go.

Butler Liu climbed up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, looked at Xu Qingjian who was bound by five flowers in front of him: "You were taken away by the queen mother's people like this, how can I explain to the prince..."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Xu Qingjian said to Butler Liu.

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingjian immediately turned his head away, not daring to look at Butler Liu's self-blaming eyes.

Unexpectedly, not long after, he caused trouble for Shen Xubai again.

Xu Qingjian let out a long breath, and while following them, wondered if he shouldn't have returned to the capital.

On the way into the palace, Xu Qingjian's mind was full of thoughts about what he should say when he saw the queen mother later. The queen mother should not embarrass him too much, after all, he had never offended the queen mother.

When Xu Qingjian was brought in front of the empress dowager, he was so nervous that his back was sweating, because the empress dowager shunned everyone else, leaving him alone.

This made Xu Qingjian even more flustered, always feeling as if the Queen Mother was going to kill someone to silence her.

"The Empress Dowager." Xu Qingjian knelt down and bowed to the Empress Dowager, calling respectfully.

"En." The queen mother sat on a chair and looked at him, and nodded lazily: "There is no need to be polite, sit next to Aijia."

Xu Qingjian has always been simple-minded, and he didn't know how to guard against others, so when he heard the Queen Mother's words, he almost stood up and sat down. Fortunately, he reacted in time and buried his head even lower.

"Caomin dare not sit with the Queen Mother." Xu Qingjian said respectfully.

Seeing that Xu Qingjian knew the etiquette so well, the queen mother nodded slightly, and finally there was a little more satisfaction in her eyes.

"What are you afraid of, Aijia will let you sit down." The queen mother's tone slowed down a bit.

Xu Qingjian hesitated for a while, looked up at the Queen Mother cautiously, then got up and walked over, and sat down at a low table between the Queen Mother and her.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Xu Qingjian didn't forget to thank her before sitting down.

The queen mother smiled, stretched out her hand to hold Xu Qingjian's hand in it, and patted the back of his hand with the other hand: "Yes, he is a good boy."

"The empress dowager is absurd." Xu Qingjian replied.

"You don't need to be so unfamiliar, Aijia is also Xu'er's aunt after all, you are the same as him, just call Aijia aunt."

Xu Qingjian considered it for a while, and then said: "Etiquette cannot be broken, I still have to call you Empress Dowager."

Hearing Xu Qingjian's words, the queen mother laughed loudly, looking a little happy, but Xu Qingjian did not relax at all.

You must know that he is in the palace now, and the person in front of him is the empress dowager, he cannot relax at all, otherwise, if he is not careful, his life may be lost.

"You are so glib, you can make people happy, no wonder Xu'er likes you so much." The queen mother said with a smile while holding Xu Qingjian's hand.

Xu Qingjian didn't know what to reply, so he also smiled at the Queen Mother.

At least for now, he should be safe.

"Your palms are full of calluses, so rough... You must be a martial artist." The Queen Mother gently stroked the calluses on Xu Qingjian's hands with her fingers, and said calmly.

The smile on Xu Qingjian's face quickly disappeared, and he turned to stare at the Queen Mother vigilantly.

"I... just usually practice, it's not very good." Xu Qingjian replied quickly.

Seeing Xu Qingjian's nervousness, the Queen Mother suddenly laughed and let go of his hand.

"Don't be nervous, the Ai family knows that you should be good at martial arts, and Hong Ling has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, but she has always been a three-legged cat." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

After a pause, the queen mother raised her eyes to look at Xu Qingjian, and said meaningfully: "I just don't know, who is better in a competition between you and the commander of the Imperial Palace Imperial Army."

"I don't dare to compare with Lord Commander." Xu Qingjian said hastily.

He always felt that the Empress Dowager's words were warning him that if he tried to forcefully escape from Miyagi, he would naturally be arrested by the strictly disciplined imperial guards.

But he really didn't have such thoughts, he knew how much he was, and this was the imperial palace, how could he have the supernatural ability to try to escape from here, even if he really escaped, he might have to lose his skin if he didn't die.
