Views:

Inside Ningxuan Palace.

An old imperial doctor knelt in front of the cold-faced emperor tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, Director Ling is fine, just suffered some flesh injuries, please be at ease."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression softened a little, and the pressure around him dissipated a lot. Seeing this, the imperial physician quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's just that your majesty, Director Ling will rest for the past two days. Remember not to exercise vigorously, this..."

The imperial doctor paused, as if he was considering whether to say what to say next. Seeing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked him with his eyes.

Seeing this, the imperial doctor thought about it and said, "In the past two days, in order to avoid the wound from opening, it is best not to have sex."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at the old doctor with an uncertain expression, with an expression of neither joy nor anger.

The imperial physician bowed his head conscientiously.

The emperor glanced away lightly: "Go down."

"Yes." The imperial physician got up and retreated respectfully.

Lying on the bed, Ling Xiao heard the imperial physician's words, snickered, and secretly gave the imperial physician a perfect score. Even if the injury did not remove Mo Qi, it was not in vain, at least it delayed his time in the palace.

The emperor waved away all the servants, picked up the soup on the table, and walked to Ling Xiao's bedside.

"Your Majesty..." Ling Xiao quickly restrained his smile, struggling to sit up.

The emperor looked at him with an uncertain expression, suddenly drank the soup into his mouth, leaned over and pinched Ling Xiao's chin, and pressed his lips against it.

Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes widened in astonishment, he was at a loss.

The emperor was so close to me that I could clearly see every change in the expression on the emperor's face. His eyes were half-opened, and the double pupils were dark and dark at this moment, like a magnetic force, attracting the attention of others. But the emperor's long gaze showed a kind of thoroughness that could see through people.

Ling Xiao's heart was beating extremely fast, and the emperor's penetrating gaze seemed to see through him, making him flustered.

He couldn't help but suspect that the emperor didn't see his bitter tricks, did he

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly closed his eyes tightly, as if he felt that by doing this, he could avoid the Emperor's probing gaze.

The little eunuch in front of him had his eyes closed, his body tensed, and he looked like he was letting himself be dealt with. It couldn't help being a little funny. The emperor slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, leaned over and pressed his head, and swallowed all the medicine in his mouth. past.

The little eunuch accepted it obediently and swallowed it down.

Such a well-behaved movement seemed to please the emperor, the emperor left Ling Xiao's lips, and kissed Ling Xiao lightly on the forehead.

Ling Xiao felt the heat and humidity on his forehead, he jumped in shock, and slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, his face was flushed, with a unique style between his eyebrows and eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly wet from being teased by the emperor, his lips were taking in the fresh air, opening and closing seductive gaps unconsciously.

The emperor pursed his lips and looked at him, his eyes darkened.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... um..."

Without saying a word, the emperor pressed Ling Xiao's lips again, different from the gentleness of feeding medicine, this time it was a sincere kiss.

It invaded Ling Xiao's territory like a rage, and overbearingly absorbed the fragrance from the little eunuch's mouth, as if it was a fairy wine.

"Um... um... Huang... um..."

Ling Xiao groaned, full of comfort and pain.

The kiss was too eager and domineering, leaving him no space to breathe. He was like a fish out of water, limp in the emperor's embrace, he could only let it be taken, and he was almost suffocated. Ling Xiao lightly Frowning, struggling feebly.

Feeling Ling Xiao's struggle, the emperor kissed, his lips moved down, and kissed Ling Xiao's neck all the way down, Ling Xiao trembled, his fragile neck was licked and kissed moistly, his whole body seemed to be immersed in hot water, Deadly scorching.

Ling Xiao panted, his consciousness began to blur, his lower body was extremely swollen, he couldn't help but want to reach out to comfort him, but when he turned over, his calf suddenly bumped into another hot spot.

"uh-huh… "

The emperor let out a muffled groan, and Ling Xiao woke up suddenly. He widened his misty eyes in astonishment, hurriedly tightened his legs to cover the heat between them, and looked at the emperor helplessly and panicked.

The emperor frowned, with an expression of patience and displeasure.

After a long time, the emperor straightened up, sighed heavily, looked back at Ling Xiao and said, "You are hurt, it's really time for you to get hurt."

Ling Xiao was startled, wondering what the emperor meant.

It was then that the emperor sat at a table not far from him and drank several cups of tea.

Ling Xiao lowered his head, thinking about whether he should say something.

But there was a report from Meng Qi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, at the door.

"Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured."

Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, isn't this Lan Wei a master of martial arts, it's so simple...

"Wait outside." The emperor said.

"Yes." Monkey replied.

The emperor stood up, as if he was about to go out, Ling Xiao was taken aback, and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty."

The little eunuch had a look of worry and doubts on his face. Seeing this, the emperor softened his heart, walked up to him and smoothed his hair: "I'll come back as soon as I go, so you can rest."

"..." Ling Xiao raised his eyes, with doubts in his heart.

Didn't the emperor ask himself the ins and outs of the whole thing? He was the first witness to the whole thing!

Thinking about it, he finally couldn't control it, and asked: "Your Majesty... don't you ask the servant?"

Hearing this, the emperor paused for a while, and said lightly, "It's not necessary."

Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, what does it mean that there is no need, the emperor is... already know? !

He was surprised in his heart, but the emperor suddenly turned his head, Ling Xiao quickly closed his eyes, covering the surprise in his eyes.

The emperor stared at Ling Xiao closely, and said seriously: "For you, I just want to ask one thing, and you can answer me after you think it over."

Ling Xiao raised his eyes, the emperor had already left, before leaving, he left behind the matter he wanted to ask.

"Why are you targeting Mo Qi everywhere?"

Ling Xiao was stunned, and sat on the bed.

The emperor has become suspicious in this regard, no, it should be said that the emperor has concluded that he is targeting Mo Qi.

In this case, there is really no need to ask him, as long as he knows that he is targeting Mo Qi, all questions can be guessed based on his motives according to the emperor's sensitivity.

So, when the emperor asked him, how should he explain it to the emperor

The emperor hates deception the most, so he can't lie anymore, then...

"Take this man out and chop him up, and call the prime minister and Lan Wei to the imperial study."

The emperor's voice came from the door, Ling Xiao held his wound and reluctantly leaned against the crack of the door to watch.

It was found that the Imperial Forest Army pulled a comatose person back, that person was dressed in blue, but it was not Lan Wei, but a strange man.

This "assassin" is Lan Wei's stand-in! Ling Xiao frowned.

Then I saw the emperor flicking his sleeves and taking Xiao Lizi to the imperial study.

It seems that the emperor also knew that this was not a real "assassin". Not only did he know that this was not a real assassin, he also knew that Lan Wei had something to do with it, so he immediately summoned the prime minister and Lan Wei...

The emperor knew much more than he thought.

Ling Xiao always had a feeling that he thought he was hiding things well, but in fact the emperor already knew the truth...

He lowered his head and looked down at the little brother who had already passed away, wondering if the emperor would...

no, I can not!

Ling Xiao shook his head abruptly. It is impossible for the emperor to know about himself. If he knew, he would not have done nothing. This is probably the best thing he has concealed. Ling Xiao held his beating heart and comforted him repeatedly. yourself, don't panic.

In the royal study.

The emperor watched coldly as the prime minister and his son knelt on the ground tremblingly, stood up leisurely, and settled beside the two of them.

The prime minister led Lan Wei and lowered his head.

The emperor looked at the two of them and said leisurely: "Why didn't the prime minister bring Lan Wei to participate in the banquet tonight."

The prime minister broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the dog acted too recklessly. I was afraid of disturbing the distinguished guests, so I let him stay at home."

"Really?" the emperor asked lightly, and motioned to Xiao Lizi with a glance. Xiao Lizi understood, and came forward with a blue robe in both hands.

The emperor looked at the clothes and said: "I see that Lan Wei likes to wear blue clothes, this dress is a little bit of my heart."

Xiao Lizi presented the clothes in front of Lan Wei, and Lan Wei took them with trembling hands, feeling very guilty, and the clothes were soaked with sweat.

He put down the clothes and saw that there were bright red spots on it, which turned out to be blood!

And this coat is exactly the one he took off and put on for a side hall guard just now in order to get out!

Startled, Lan Wei raised her head to look at the emperor, and saw the emperor staring at him coldly.

His eyelids twitched, knowing in his heart that the emperor had known the truth, he couldn't help but knelt down towards the emperor and grabbed the ground with his head: "Your majesty..."

He wanted to say something, but suddenly found that there were no words to excuse him, so he could only silently purse his lips tightly, his body trembling.

It's all Ling Xiao! That bastard, even if he is a ghost, he will not let him go!

"Your majesty... this..." The prime minister also saw the clothes and couldn't help being startled.

Lan Wei was bumped into the palace in the middle of the night and hurt Ling Xiao for disturbing the emperor. He didn't know that not long ago, the news that the assassin had been executed came from the palace, which made him heave a sigh of relief. , the next moment, he and Lan Wei were summoned...

Just now, the prime minister was still hoping that the emperor would not know what Lan Wei had committed, but at this moment, he could not deceive himself, so he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor again and again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Ah! Gouzi is only momentarily confused, momentarily confused!"

"..." The emperor stared at the two of them coldly, walked up to Lan Wei and said, "It's a good thing that your sword is not heavy, otherwise you wouldn't even have the chance to be here."

Lan Wei bit her lip, not daring to raise her head, but rested her head on the cold floor, lowering her posture as much as possible.

The emperor turned around and sat back on the seat: "The prime minister is very old and sick. I can't bear to see him every time he goes to court with illness. I allow him to retire and return home. I am worried that no one will take care of him when he returns home. Let his son follow him all the way. .”

The prime minister was startled, the emperor was about to remove his official position, he couldn't help crying: "Your majesty, the old ministers have been trembling for decades, and most of them have dedicated themselves to the court. You can't do this, the late emperor..."

"Now I am the Son of Heaven." The emperor interrupted the prime minister, and ordered to Xiao Lizi: "Pull them down."

When the prime minister heard the words, he fell limp on the ground, already lost his mind and dementia.

"Your Majesty!" Lan Wei finally opened his mouth, knelt and climbed two steps forward: "Your Majesty, this matter is the fault of the grassroots alone, and has nothing to do with my father. If the emperor wants to punish him, he should punish the grassroots alone. Please forgive my father."

Hearing this, the emperor sneered, and motioned to Xiao Lizi, who made someone drag the absent-minded prime minister down.

After the prime minister disappeared, the emperor walked up to Lan Wei and looked down at him: "Do you know what crime it is to assassinate the palace at night?"

Lan Wei lowered her head and replied in a trembling voice: "It's a great crime for the nine clans."

The emperor said coldly: "If it weren't for the hard work of the prime minister over the years, if you weren't loved by the late emperor and asked me to treat you father and son well before the late emperor left, I wouldn't just let you leave today."

As he said that, the emperor seemed not to want to see Lan Wei again, and left with his hands behind his back, Lan Wei opened his mouth to call the emperor, but his voice was stuck in his throat.

It was he who was too determined to go his own way, which made his father suffer from old age...
