Chapter 628: It’s Better to Do It Today than to Wait for a Day
Taking care of a child was the first time for Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, but fortunately Hao'er was easy to take care of, he didn't cry or make a fuss, and he was particularly worry-free.
Except that Xuanyuan Yao felt stressed every time he saw that calm and steady face that always reminded him of his father, there was really nothing difficult about it.
The two of them took Hao'er to sleep in the afternoon.
Children over one year old normally need to make up for their sleep during the day, and it happened that Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao were also a little tired - the main reason was that they couldn't be alone together, and it was always not good to be too intimate in front of the child, so they couldn't help but feel a little tired out of boredom, and of course they had to make up for their sleep after being tired.
So the two of them faced inward and outward, and put Hao'er in the middle. At first glance, they really looked like a family of three.
They slept until the sun set.
After Xie Jin woke up, he felt refreshed. He couldn't help but think: "Yaoyao."
"Hmm?"
Xuanyuan Yao had already sat up and was looking down to see if Hao'er had wet the bed. Hearing this, he only responded: "What's the matter?"
"It's better to do it today than today."
Xuanyuan Yao was a little confused. What's the difference between today and today?
"Take action tonight."
Xuanyuan Yao immediately understood what he meant and looked up at him: "Tonight?"
"Hmm."
Xuanyuan Yao hesitated: "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Xie Jin moved his wrist, "Now we have enough energy, while the master is not prepared at night, we will take him by surprise, maybe we can-"
"Maybe we can win?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned slightly, "Isn't this an unfair victory?"
Xie Jin's expression was calm, and his tone sounded particularly righteous: "An unfair victory can at least be called a 'win', otherwise I'm afraid there will be no chance of an unfair victory."
Xuanyuan Yao thought about it and actually felt that what he said made sense.
If they can't win even by surprise, they probably won't have a chance to defeat the master in this life.
So the matter was settled. The two of them got up to wash up, and washed Hao'er by the way, and then had dinner in advance. When everything was ready, it was dark outside.
Xie Jin took two black tights and handed one to Xuanyuan Yao.
"Ah Jin." Xuanyuan Yao stared at the night clothes in front of him, his expression was particularly tangled, "Are we going to kill the king?"
In the middle of the night, night clothes usually represent assassination.
Is Xie Jin's outfit too formal?
"Of course not to kill the king." Xie Jin glanced at him, "What is Yaoyao thinking? If I really want to kill the king, would I dare to take you with me?"
"Don't play too much, what if the fake play really becomes real and people really think you are an assassin, then you won't be able to explain it." Xuanyuan Yao frowned, "And it's so mobilizing so many people, if we lose, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the imperial study."
When mentioning the imperial study, Xie Jin hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, he was confident that the master would not take it too seriously, and he would not be punished even if he really attacked by surprise, but he was not confident that he would not be punished - if he and Yaoyao were defeated together, the master would definitely think that they were not good enough in martial arts.
Moreover, Xie Jin still remembered clearly that after being beaten in the imperial study last time, Rong Yu said that he wanted to practice his skills. If he went to the door this time, would he be directly dragged to practice?
"Actually, I don't think civil officials have to have such good skills." Xuanyuan Yao looked at him, "Just do your own job well and protect yourself with martial arts. You don't plan to be the best in the world, so why do you need such high martial arts?"
Xie Jin looked at him silently: "Look at the master's subordinates, whether they are civil officials or military generals, who is weak?"
Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Is Chu Nanyi also good at martial arts?"
"In addition to his martial arts, he is good at medicine and accounting, and he is good at many other things." Xie Jin said calmly, "Otherwise, why do you think he, a bastard of the Chu family, was entrusted with such an important task by the master?"
Jiuxiao Pavilion is a place to subdue dragons and tigers. Without any skills, how can he be in the eyes of his master?
The two changed their clothes and put on a robe outside the black nightgown. Without any delay, they quickly picked up Hao'er and went out.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so well behaved today, so easy to take care of." Xuanyuan Yao walked aside, looking at Hao'er who was sitting in Xie Jin's arms and playing with his hair again, and couldn't help wondering, "But other children of this age seem to like small toys like rattles, why does the Crown Prince have a special liking for hair?"
Xie Jin said: "You can try to let him tell you the answer."
Xuanyuan Yao curled his lips. If the little Crown Prince could tell him the answer now, he would not be a child prodigy but a god.
The two took a carriage into the palace, went to the Dazheng Palace first, paid respects to Her Majesty the Queen, and then returned the little Crown Prince to Nan Xi.
"The Lord has said that he would borrow the money for a long time, so I dare not delay for a moment and quickly send the little prince back." Xie Jin said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please check to see if the little prince has any bumps or scratches. After we leave here, we will not be responsible for anything else."
Nan Xi smiled lightly: "It sounds like you want me to inspect the goods in person?"
Xie Jin became more respectful: "I dare not."
He did want to say that he would inspect the goods in person and would not be responsible after leaving, but this was the meaning, but he could not say it that way. After all, if he really dared to treat the little prince as "goods", wouldn't he be courting death?
"Xie Jin." Nan Xi reminded him gently, "It's a good thing that Hao'er didn't get bumped or scratched. You took good care of him, and I and the Regent are relieved. But even if I wronged you, do you think you can defend yourself?"
Xie Jin was silent, and then he knew the situation and said: "I dare not defend myself."
"So, wasn't what I said just now nonsense?" Nan Xi drank a sip of tea leisurely, "Even if I inspected the goods in front of you and told Rong Yu later, do you think Rong Yu would believe me or you more?"
"He must believe Your Majesty." Xie Jin was more respectful, "I am stupid, Your Majesty is wise."
Xuanyuan Yao stood aside, listening to the seemingly unfathomable but actually one-sided conversation between the monarch and the minister, and felt that Xie Jin was a slut.
Asking for trouble in front of His Majesty?
His Majesty seems gentle, but he is the king of a country after all. Not liking to handle government affairs does not mean that he does not have the majesty of an emperor. What's more, His Majesty has a heavyweight husband by his side. Xie Jin, are you sure you are good enough?
"The regent is in the imperial study." Nan Xi said with a smile, "He said that after you send the prince here, go to the imperial study to find him."
"Imperial study?" Xuanyuan Yao's face changed slightly, "Didn't the master change to the Qinzheng Palace to handle government affairs?"
Nan Xi said, "Oh," her voice was very leisurely: "I'm not sure about this, you can ask him yourself."
Xuanyuan Yao didn't want to go.
Xie Jin didn't want to go even more, he now had a shadow on the imperial study.
The two of them took their leave and left the Dazheng Palace, standing in front of the palace gate and looking at each other, Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "What is the master doing in the imperial study at this time?"
"Maybe it's to scare us." Xie Jin said, "We just made a contribution, and the reward hasn't come yet, it's not necessary to beat us up first."
After saying this, he immediately felt at ease.
"Let's go." Xie Jin took the lead and said, "If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. It's no big deal."
