The Path of the Cannon Fodder’s Counterattack

Chapter 20: See the emperor

Views:

But the severe pain of waiting did not hit, Lan Wei suddenly opened his eyes.

It was Ling Xiao's smiling eyes that met him, Lan Wei was taken aback for a moment.

Ling Xiao threw the sword away and stood up.

"I just remembered that you have to fast before being eunuched, otherwise you will die from pain. At the beginning, you put me in a coma and sent me directly to cleanse yourself. You didn't think about this issue, but you are not benevolent, I can't be unrighteous." , Right, why don’t you wait for two days of fasting before coming…”

As he said that, Ling Xiao took a meaningful look at Lan Wei's lower body.

Lan Wei's body froze, she gritted her teeth and turned her head away, her legs were tucked in, as if this could block Ling Xiao's malicious gaze.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao smiled happily, put away Lan Wei's sword, and took out a rope as thick as a thumb from the side to tie Lan Wei tightly.

Ling Xiao, who was exhausted enough, straightened up, raised his foot and kicked Lan Wei under the bed.

At the end, he squatted down and confessed to the inside: "Mr. Lan Wei, you'd better stay inside honestly. If the eunuch and maid of honor find out if you make any noise, I will hand you over to the emperor."

"..." Lan Wei was blocked and couldn't speak, and could only look at Ling Xiao bitterly.

After sleeping in a good mood, Ling Xiao dug out the list the next day.

Twelve people, two nuns, three court ladies, seven eunuchs, two of the eunuchs are procured.

Of these twelve people, except for Nanny Lin, it was the first time Ling Xiao knew about it, no matter in his previous life or in this life.

It seems that in his previous life, all the eyeliners he came into contact with were Lan Wei's, and the prime minister's mansion hid himself very deeply.

And Lan Wei has just started to install eyeliner in the palace in this life, and there are not many eyeliners.

So, this list is all the eyeliners of the prime minister's mansion? Just twelve people

Ling Xiao pondered.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that there are not many concubines of today's emperor, and there is nothing related to the prime minister's mansion. At such a moment, there is really no need for the prime minister to put too much eyeliner.

What was different was the official minister, the official minister's eyeliner, Ling Xiao found out seven people, most of these seven people were around the official minister's daughter Ran Fei.

In Ling Xiao's impression, among the three concubines in the harem, Concubine Li is the princess of Gao Ran Kingdom and has no one to rely on in the country.

Concubine Xian, the head of the three concubines, did not have any family background, and there were not many eyeliners in the palace.

Concubine Ran should have the most eyeliner, but Concubine Ran is pure and self-willed, and she doesn't like anyone to watch over her. In her previous life, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials arranged for people to take care of her many times, but she sent them back, so she The eyeliner arranged by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials around him is running out.

Ling Xiao thought about it, and then relied on the memories of his previous life to add a few people. These people were servants scattered in other concubines' wombs who used various methods to inquire about the emperor's preferences.

Facing this list, he copied a copy, there were twenty-one people in total, Ling Xiao took this list, adjusted his clothes and went to see the emperor.

It's been a few days now, it's time for him to show up in front of the emperor, otherwise he will be really at a loss when the emperor forgets about him.

It was Shen time, and the emperor was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study.

When Ling Xiao came to the imperial study, Little Li was waiting outside, Ling Xiao was a little strange, didn't the emperor get used to someone rubbing ink next to him when he was dealing with government affairs? Why is this little plum at the door, who is grinding ink for the emperor in that room

Xiao Lizi saw Ling Xiao at a glance, and ran to Ling Xiao in small steps to salute.

Ling Xiao nodded, told him to stand up, and asked bluntly: "Who is serving the emperor now?"

Xiao Lizi lowered his head and replied, "There is no one else."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows: "The emperor is alone in the house?"

Xiao Lizi said: "Yes, manager, since you left, the emperor has been handling government affairs alone in the house, and he will call the servants when there is something to do."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the emperor was spoiled by him, and he was not used to being served by others, this is a good sign, Ling Xiao smiled.

Seeing that Xiao Lizi was still waiting by the side, Ling Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Little Lizi, I want to see the emperor, you go and report."

"Yes." Xiao Lizi responded, ran back to the door with small steps, and knocked on the door inside.

After getting the answer from inside, he walked in respectfully.

Not long after coming out, Ling Xiao saw this, walked over, straightened his clothes, raised the corners of his mouth and moved his steps to follow Xiao Lizi into the house.

But Xiao Lizi stood in front of him, lowered his head and shook slightly.

Ling Xiao was taken aback, frowned and said in surprise: "Could it be that the emperor won't see me?"

Xiao Li saluted, Ling Xiao found it inconceivable and asked: "Did you tell the emperor that I came to report the matter he ordered me to investigate thoroughly?"

Xiao Lizi replied: "The slave said it, but the emperor said that the government affairs are busy today, so let the general manager come back another day."

"..."

Ling Xiao remained silent, what is this emperor doing

Didn't the emperor say that he would come to see him after he checked it out? Now it's gone

Or is it that the emperor's anger has not dissipated

Ling Xiao licked his lips and thought about it, then looked back at Xiao Lizi, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow, Xiao Lizi, you are so good at serving the Emperor."

"Boss, go slowly." Xiao Lizi saluted Ling Xiao.

However, for the next two days, Ling Xiao went to visit the emperor every day, and the emperor used the same excuse to not see Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao frowned, feeling the crisis.

The emperor really wanted to teach him a serious lesson, to remind him not to be pampered.

Ling Xiao sighed, at first he thought that if he made a mistake and offended the emperor, he would leave for two or three days, bring back a list, make a contribution, and if the contribution is paid off, it would be nothing.

It seems that it's not that simple now, the emperor doesn't see him at all!

Does this mean he wants to express his loyalty? Let him know what he meant!

But how to express it

Ling Xiao pondered, and suddenly came to his senses, he quickly ran back to his territory, called the five people whom Lan Wei had eyelinered back then, and went to meet the emperor together.

Back then, I didn't bring these five people before the emperor, but protected them privately.

The emperor got angry because of this, and left Ling Xiao in the cold.

However, it also gave Ling Xiao a chance.

Ling Xiao always thought that this opportunity was for him to find out the eyeliner and make up for it, but in fact, there was something else besides this.

The emperor wanted Ling Xiao to personally bring the five people who had been released privately before him.

Although the emperor gave Ling Xiao the authority to deal with these people, he didn't say he didn't see them.

These people were let go by Ling Xiao privately back then, so the emperor gave him a chance to bring them back to the emperor himself.

Sure enough, Ling Xiao brought five people to kneel in front of the imperial study room and begged to see him, and the emperor finally came out.
