Summer is long.

After staying in the inn for less than two days, Li Xuanxiao took the donkey to a house in the north of the city.

This small house was bought when he came to Changjing a long time ago.

I don’t know what’s going on now?

The small courtyard is not as deserted and overgrown with weeds as imagined.

On the contrary, it was taken care of in an orderly manner.

Li Xuanxiao knew who did this without even thinking.

He turned his back to the small house and held his hands far away.

"Thank you for your hard work, how about a cup of tea?"

After a while, there was a sound in the distance.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I'm busy with official duties, so I can't bear to accept your order. I'll take my leave!"

Li Xuanxiao didn't force him to stay and handed over his hand again.

Then, he turned to the little donkey and said.

"Let's stay here for a while before leaving."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah~"

The sun was setting, the crowds were dim, and it was raining.

Wisps of smoke slowly rose from the house.

Li Xuanxiao opened the steamer, and the aroma of hot rice hit his face.

"Well, not bad, not bad." Li Xuanxiao nodded with a smile.

In the alley, two people walked to the door holding umbrellas.

A young woman in Tsing Yi stood in front of the door, "Mother, I won't go in."

"Boom!"

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Li Xuanxiao's voice came from inside, as if he had known she would come for a long time.

The woman in white opened the door gently and walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma that fills the room.

The little donkey blinked and looked at this beautiful woman.

"Sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon." Li Xuanxiao said without looking back.

The woman in white was very obedient and found a chair and sat down.

If not Zhao Ruxue, who else could it be.

Zhao Ruxue held her chin with her hands and looked at the busy figures in the kitchen with somewhat blurred eyes.

After a while, a small square table was filled with dishes.

They are all home-cooked dishes, steamed fish, shredded sweet potatoes, water shield soup, dried meat...

Zhao Ruxue looked at these dishes in surprise, never expecting that Li Xuanxiao would run to the kitchen to cook.

It was even done in a decent way.

Li Xuanxiao raised a glass of rice wine and said, "Thank you for taking care of the house for me. Don't hesitate to treat me to a meal."

"How do you know how to cook?"

"Learned it a long time ago."

Zhao Ruxue sighed silently, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I feel...I feel like I don't even recognize you anymore."

Zhao Ruxue felt that Li Xuanxiao in front of her seemed to have become a stranger.

The aggressive aura about him in the past disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gentle and calm temperament that made people feel reassured and comfortable.

There was no longer the coldness and alienation in his eyes.

Time can really change a lot.

"Dry!"

At this time, Li Xuanxiao suddenly noticed Zhao Ruxue's bulging belly.

Zhao Ruxue smiled as if she saw his worry.

"Don't worry, with my cultivation level, your rice wine without any vintage will have no impact at all."

"It's because I didn't prepare wine~"

Zhao Ruxue drank the wine in the glass and said, "How could it be? Logically speaking, I should invite you. Thanks to you, you saved my daughter.

Besides, this Xiling is still my territory. I will treat you next time. "

"Come on, try my handiwork."

Zhao Ruxue took a bite of the dish, tasted it carefully, and nodded appreciatively.

"Yes, Not Bad."

She remembered that when she was on the run, she was so hungry that she clamored for food.

As a result, Li Xuanxiao made her a piece of grilled fish, which was so unpalatable that Zhao Ruxue almost vomited it out.

Finally, he swallowed it forcefully in order to survive.

Come to think of it, how can the best swordsman in the world know how to cook?

But now......

Zhao Ruxue quickly ate the rice in the bowl.

"How many months have it been?" Li Xuanxiao looked at her belly.

"It's about to give birth." Zhao Ruxue said without any emotion, "This time the people from Qintian Prison said it's a boy."

Li Xuanxiao heard some different meanings.

Zhao Ruxue explained calmly: "It will be good if we have a boy. The throne will not belong to anyone else. We had accidental miscarriages twice before. There must be no accident this time."

Li Xuanxiao joked, "Those who have the throne to inherit are different."

Zhao Ruxue smiled bitterly, "Now the struggle in the Xiling court is extremely serious. Without a son, there is no foundation for a stable life."

As she said that, she glanced at Li Xuanxiao.

"It would be great if I were you. One person can be fed and the whole family will not be hungry."

It was raining non-stop outside.

Zhao Ruxue held an umbrella and said, "Let's go first."

"good."

Zhao Ruxue looked back.

After Li Xuanxiao finished his meal, he yawned and lay on the chair as if he was about to take a nap.

Zhao Ruxue closed the door.

The woman in green clothes said: "My dear! Is this the old friend you mentioned?"

"Yes, but he has changed a lot, and I almost don't recognize him anymore."

"Time will change a lot, don't worry about it."

"Do you mind?" Zhao Ruxue smiled faintly.

Does she still care? There may be some.

When she was young, Zhao Ruxue always felt that marrying Emperor Xiling was a regret in her life.

There is no emotion between the two parties, it is purely a combination of interests.

But as she got older, she gradually relaxed.

If time could really come back, let her choose again.

She will definitely choose to marry Emperor Xiling.

Whether it's for the family or for yourself!

She and Li Xuanxiao were not the same person from the beginning to the end.

Li Xuanxiao may have known this for a long time.

Therefore, Li Xuanxiao always only regarded her as a friend and had no other feelings.

............

Li Xuanxiao woke up and took a look at the sky outside.

It was probably noon.

Take your time when you have nothing to do, sleep soundly and the sun is already red outside the east window.

He stretched, washed briefly, and went outside to have breakfast.

The little donkey was playing with copper coins and silver, and Li Xuanxiao knocked it on the head.

"It's worthless."

At this moment, I heard a commotion on the street.

Immediately afterwards, officers and soldiers cleared the streets.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Everyone, move to the side."

"Hey, what's going on?"

"You don't know yet, but I heard that General Xuanyuan has entered the capital with a tiger and leopard horse."

"What do you want to do when you enter Beijing at this time?"

"Who knows!"

The man lowered his voice, "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are having a big quarrel with those old ministers. General Xuanyuan is the Queen Mother's nephew. Will there be a big trouble this time?"

"Haha, what kind of trouble is this? Do you still dare to kill the queen?"

"Shhh!!"

Soon, the ground trembled slightly.

The sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
