Lin Chujiu finished drinking the Xiaoshi soup with great cooperation, and then walked around the room twice, feeling much more comfortable in his stomach. Turning around, seeing Xiao Tianyao finished eating, Lin Chujiu said, "My lord, it's getting late, I should rest."
"Well, it's time to rest." Xiao Tianyao glanced at the hourglass, it was midnight, and Lin Chujiu couldn't hold it after a long day.
Looking up, he glanced at Lin Chujiu, who was sluggish and defensive, Xiao Tianyao sighed secretly, gave up the plan to sleep in the same bed with Lin Chujiu, got up and said, "This king still has official business, so I won't be back tonight. ." After that, he walked past Lin Chujiu and walked out.
Tonight, he came back to accompany Lin Chujiu to dinner. Although the process was not very pleasant, fortunately, the result was not bad. At least the two of them finished the meal.
Looking at Xiao Tianyao who walked out without hesitation and without looking back, Lin Chujiu was stunned in place, unable to react for a long time.
She thought that there was still a tough battle to be fought, she thought of all kinds of ways to refuse to share the bed with Xiao Tianyao, and also thought about what Xiao Tianyao would say and how she would answer, but the truth told her that she was being affectionate.
"This kind of feeling is really bad." Lin Chujiu laughed at Xiao Tianyao, who had long disappeared in the darkness.
This kind of feeling is like, you think that a man who pays attention to you every day and is constantly courting you likes you and wants to chase you, but it turns out that it is just a misunderstanding, and it is completely overthinking yourself.
Lin Chujiu, who was thinking too much, was in a bad mood, as if something was blocking her heart. She couldn't open her sleepy eyes, but she couldn't sleep when she was lying on the bed. She kept her eyes open until dawn.
Fortunately, she is not the only one who can't sleep. There are many people who can't sleep like Lin Chujiu tonight. For example, the queen, such as Concubine Zhou, such as the eldest prince, such as those officials who have been staring at Xiao Tianyao.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xiao suddenly hurried back to the palace of Xiao Wang with a food box, and in the middle of the night, he rushed back to the palace empty-handed. What did Wang Xiao know? Or plan to do something
Anyone who knew about Xiao Tianyao's movements could not understand Xiao Tianyao's intentions. Almost all the insiders stayed up all night and gathered his staff to discuss what King Xiao did at that hour.
As for those who made small moves behind their backs, all of them were guilty of guilt. They didn't care about midnight, so they summoned their capable men and asked them to clean up their tails, lest King Xiao catch the evidence.
However, none of these had anything to do with Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao, who rushed back to the palace in a hurry, then handled the rest of the official business, and was able to finish the urgent official business before dawn.
"Come here, take a shower and change clothes, announce the ministers and the six ministers to see this king." Xiao Tianyao, who had been busy all day and night, showed no signs of fatigue, his dark eyes were sharp and sharp, and there was no trace of tiredness, which made people dare not look directly at him. .
The eunuchs took orders and performed their duties. After half an hour, Xiao Tianyao walked out refreshed after taking a bath. At this time, the ministers also rushed to the council hall, but Lin Xiang did not arrive.
"Meet Your Highness, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years." As soon as Xiao Tianyao stepped into the council hall, all the ministers bowed and saluted.
Xiao Tianyao walked past everyone and sat down on the main seat: "No courtesy! Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The six ministers sat down on both sides of the right side, leaving a space in front of them, which was very eye-catching.
"Where's Lin Xiang? Why haven't you come yet?" Xiao Tianyao asked knowingly. After all, the emperor's semi-house arrest of Lin Xiang was no secret.
"If you go back to the prince, Lin Xiang is in the palace. The Imperial Army said that the emperor had ordered. Without the emperor's order, Lin Xiang could not leave for half a step." Those who can be called by Xiao Tianyao are all smart people, no matter what small calculations they make in private. What a small move, Xiao Tianyao is definitely supported on the bright side.
"Follow the power in a hurry, go and invite Lin Xiang over, and say it's what this king means." Xiao Tianyao said indifferently, as if this was an unusual thing.
"This..." It was the Minister of War who got up and replied. There is no doubt that the person who can sit in this position must be the emperor's person. If he wants to answer King Xiao's words, he will slap the emperor in the face.
"What? Can't you?" Xiao Tianyao raised his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
When the right minister saw it, he quickly stood up: "My lord, why don't you ask the old minister to invite him?"
This is the contest between King Xiao and the emperor, and it is also the key to the position. He has already made it clear that the chariots and horses are on the side of King Xiao, and there should be no hesitation, and it is not a loss of face for him to invite Lin Xiang.
"I'm sorry to bother the Prime Minister." Xiao Tianyao responded rudely.
Yesterday, I didn't have a prestige, but today I have to show a prestige, lest the emperor's confidants naively think that the emperor will be able to take power again when he wakes up.
The Right Prime Minister hurriedly said that he did not dare, and then he walked out in a hurry.
As soon as the right minister went out, Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes and made it clear that he was unwilling to speak. Six ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one dared to speak.
They are waiting, waiting for the right minister to come back, or the right minister to come back alone, but they don't know which possibility they expect to happen. After all, it may not be a good thing for them either.
If the right minister brings back Lin Xiang, where will the emperor's face be put? Even if the emperor is in a coma now, he will not die after all. If he does not die, he will still be the emperor. His words are the emperor's order, and the emperor's order cannot be violated.
If the Right Minister didn't bring Lin Xiang back, where would King Xiao's face be? The emperor is in a coma, and King Xiao is in power alone. If it doesn't suit King Xiao's wishes, can King Xiao bear it
This is a real dilemma.
The six ministers sighed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't show any signs on their faces.
The time passed by one minute and one second, and after a quarter of an hour, the right minister was not seen. The six ministers were not in a hurry. They only said that the right minister was getting older and walked slowly, but two minutes later, the right minister was still not seen, and the six ministers sat down. No longer.
The right prime minister hasn't come back for so long. Nine times out of ten, there is a dispute, and the final result of the dispute with the imperial guards must be hands-on.
The Minister of War was restless and hesitantly stood up and said, "Your Highness, the Chancellor of the Right has not come back yet. I'm afraid something has happened. Please allow the minister to check it out." It would be bad if there were three long and two short.
"You?" Xiao Tianyao opened his eyes and glanced coldly at the Minister of Military Affairs: "You are limited to a quarter of an hour to bring Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Lin back, can you do it?"
"This..." The Minister of War was embarrassed, Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly: "If you can't do it, just shut up for this king."
"Yes, my lord." The Minister of War touched a hard nail and sat down quietly.
Xiao Tianyao swept his eyes over the six and said, "Who can do it?"
The six ministers bowed their heads and said nothing, and no one stood up...
