"Ling Xiao." The emperor called.
Ling Xiao bowed his head: "The servant is here."
"What do you think of what they say?" the emperor asked him.
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth. According to what he knew in his previous life, the emperor not only hated lies, but also was extremely smart. He must have known the truth since he summoned the prime minister. When things got serious, and he promised the Prime Minister to keep Mo Qi, he naturally had other arrangements in mind.
Asking him at this moment, Ling Xiao felt that he was just testing his loyalty, to see if he would follow the prime minister's words and get rid of everything...
And the prime minister had already seen him beside the emperor, so he took out his relationship with them, saying that he was Mo Qi and disappeared after entering the palace. Wasn't it because he was afraid that his man's identity would be exposed and his whole family would be involved? Probably, he entered the palace Those who knew the truth were all dead, and the people in the prime minister's mansion were changed. Lan Wei let him enter the palace because of Mo Qi's request. The prime minister didn't know, and later he entered the palace and woke up and caused trouble The prime minister came out and asked Nanny Lin to help him deal with it. Therefore, the prime minister's position was to let him fend for himself.
Thinking like this, Ling Xiao lowered his head and replied: "What the two of them said is not the truth."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao: "Then what you say is the truth."
At this moment Ling Xiao had only one last choice left.
"Mo Xiunv and young master Lan Wei have an unusual relationship," he said.
The emperor pursed his lips, Ling Xiao raised his head and said: "When the slave was in the prime minister's mansion, young master Lan Wei had a deep affection for Mo Qi. Everyone in the mansion knew it, but the prime minister didn't agree. That jade pendant is so precious, it will be in the prime minister's house." In the hands of the slave, it was only because Lan Wei gave it to Mo Xiunv, and the slave followed Mo Xiunv, so I was lucky enough to get this jade pendant."
The emperor nodded slightly, and Ling Xiao said: "Even though Mo Xiunv entered the palace, young master Lan Wei didn't stop thinking about it, so he ordered his servants to take care of Mo Xiunv in the palace, lest she be wronged. Slaves send messages..."
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao carefully glanced at the emperor's expression, and found that he was still so unpredictable, so he immediately became more cautious.
"But the slave knew that it shouldn't be like this, so he didn't do it. It's just that the last time I happened to know that Xiao Li was sending a letter and was met by the emperor. Since then, the slave has never dared to have any contact with the young master Lan Wei. , That's why young master Lan Wei was so surprised when he saw the servant just now."
The emperor didn't move his mind, and the little eunuch was afraid that he was amused by his inexplicable uneasy look, but then he remembered Mo Xiunu and Lan Wei's personal relationship, and immediately sneered at the prime minister in his heart.
With great power comes a big heart.
Ling Xiao searched his brains and brought up all the details that could be explained: "Now, after the emperor found out about this matter, the Prime Minister was eager to get rid of it, so he said that the servant was Mo Xiunu who disappeared directly after entering the palace, and the Prime Minister would Letting Mo Xiunv enter the palace is not just as simple as dedicating Mo Xiunv to the emperor, he also fell in love with the status of concubine in the emperor's harem."
It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that the emperor's deep eyes just fell on him, causing Ling Xiao to break out in cold sweat.
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "It was the emperor who asked the servant to tell the truth."
With a smile in his eyes, the emperor got up and came to him leisurely: "It is true that I told you to tell the truth, but since you are Mo Xiunu's servant, I know that these words you said are enough to make your master die without burial. place?"
When Ling Xiao heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, if he didn't follow through with the words, would he still be alive
Didn't the emperor ask him to tell the truth and express his position? Instead, Mo Qi's "master-servant relationship" is used to restrain him!
Even though he was thinking this way, Ling Xiao didn't dare not to answer, he bowed respectfully and replied: "Since I entered the palace, I always remember that the only master in this palace is you, Your Majesty."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "You can recognize it clearly."
Ling Xiao saluted, showing his loyalty and said: "Since this servant has already entered the palace, he is the Emperor's servant, so he will naturally consider His Majesty."
Hearing the words, the emperor lowered his head to look at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao knelt in front of the emperor. Looking down from the emperor's point of view, he closed his eyes and smiled lightly. Take your seat: "That's the case, then grind the ink for me."
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand the emperor's sudden order, did he mean that he didn't pursue it anymore
Ling Xiao hurriedly got up, walked to the table in small steps, started grinding the ink, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he suddenly seemed to have saved his life, it seemed that his sincerity was indeed right.
The emperor already knew about Mo Qi and Lan Wei, and asked him if he was just testing whether he was with the prime minister.
Fortunately, the emperor was only interested in the matter of Lan Wei and Mo Qi, and did not pursue his origin. It seemed that he believed that he was just Mo Qi's servant.
Thanks to his obedience to Mo Qi in the prime minister's mansion before, the prime minister and his son misunderstood that he was Mo Qi's servant, and now this misunderstanding has smoothly become a "fact".
The emperor started to review the memorials, during which Director Xu came back, the emperor asked him to go out and wait, but let Ling Xiao stay.
During this review, until midnight, Ling Xiao refilled the emperor with tea several times, and the emperor got up when he was drowsy standing behind him.
Ling Xiao quickly pulled himself together, but he couldn't open his sleepy eyes, he could only half-closed his eyes at the emperor in front of him, his face was more or less confused, the emperor chuckled softly when he saw him like this .
"It can be seen that you are a new eunuch."
Ling Xiao was a little dizzy, and didn't think of what to say, he just instinctively followed the emperor with his eyes, and the emperor shook his head: "Come on, since you're tired, let's go down and rest."
"... Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as he heard the rest, Ling Xiao seemed to have received a pardon, he lifted his spirits, saluted the Emperor with smiles on his face, turned around and ran out quickly.
The emperor looked at his back thoughtfully.
Back at Chuxiu Palace, Ling Xiao had a comfortable few days. Mo Qi had annoyed Nanny Lin. Recently, Nanny Lin took her to learn the etiquette in the palace. She rarely had time to make trouble, so naturally she I haven't been in contact with Ling Xiao for a long time.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry, so he asked Mo Qi to suffer with Nanny Lin for a few days, so that the scheming he had planned before was not in vain.
When I saw Mo Qi again, it was already a day away from the start of the draft. Nanny Lin still knew that this person was going to be drafted, so she gave her a day to prepare.
However, the emperor already knew about Mo Qi and Lan Wei, and Ling Xiao didn't know whether the emperor would choose Mo Qi.
To be precise, Ling Xiao didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
In her previous life, Mo Qi had attracted the attention of the emperor since the draft, and since then she has been promoted by the emperor all the way. This time, before meeting the emperor, Mo Qi allowed herself to destroy her image in the emperor's heart. Mo Qi was kept, but Ling Xiao felt that it was impossible for the emperor not to care about this matter.
Just as she was thinking this way, she saw Mo Qi rushing over, "Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao rubbed his ears that were sore from the shock, and looked at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi said angrily: "Did you lead me to bribe Nanny Lin on purpose? Did you also know that my little things would never get into Nanny Lin's eyes, and deliberately punished me!"
Ling Xiao sneered, Mo Qi said: "Why are you doing this to me!"
As she said that, Mo Qi asked suspiciously: "Do you remember hating me?"
Ling Xiao laughed, did this woman finally realize it!
"No, I won't..." Mo Qi denied herself again: "It's impossible for you to hold grudges against me, but you treat me..."
As if realizing something, Mo Qi suddenly stopped talking.
Ling Xiao's complexion darkened.
"To you? How to you?" he asked.
Mo Qi lowered her head and bit her lower lip with her white teeth: "You have been so kind to me and loved me so much in the past ten years. It can't be a lie. You can tolerate me in everything, and you won't hate me for this."
Mo Qi's eyes were full of determination, Ling Xiao sneered.
"You still know how good I am to you." Ling Xiao said meaningfully, but the scene where she poisoned him to death came to mind.
It's no wonder now that she doesn't believe that he will hate her. The ten years of care and tolerance are not fake. If he hadn't been reborn, if she hadn't poisoned him, he really couldn't have hated her, but that was just if.
Mo Qi heard Ling Xiao's meaningful words, her face was sad, she suddenly changed her attitude, looked at Ling Xiao's tears, "Ling Xiao, I know you are good to me, I know your heart."
Ling Xiao frowned, not knowing what trick Mo Qi wanted to play, so he kept a wait-and-see attitude.
"I've always known what you think about me, Ling Xiao, actually... I also treat you the same way."
Ling Xiao was startled, and Mo Qi said: "But now we can't help ourselves in the palace, right?"
"Ling Xiao, I don't really want to live in this palace for the rest of my life, I'm just looking for something fresh, and when the freshness wears off, I'll leave with you. Don't treat me so coldly in this palace, okay? I am afraid."
Mo Qi said with an aggrieved expression: "Help me, help me in this palace, and leave when we get tired of seeing the scenery of this palace, and I will go to the ends of the earth with you."
The ends of the earth
Ling Xiao's heart is very cold, is his mind actually being used by this person like this!
Ling Xiao was suddenly very angry. Although he already knew that Mo Qi would use her again, but in his previous life, he was more willing to help her solve everything before she expressed his opinion. In this life, because of his not helping, This person first hinted at seduction, but now he is talking about his intentions.
Ling Xiao was completely disappointed with Mo Qi.
Seeing that Ling Xiao's attitude became more and more cold, Mo Qi gritted her teeth and couldn't help being a little more annoyed. She had never begged this person so many times. She was used to being spoiled by Ling Xiao, so she naturally felt that Ling Xiao should protect her. You should follow her, and if she gets into trouble occasionally, Ling Xiao should forgive her as long as she is subdued.
At this moment, Ling Xiao never forgave her for being submissive several times, and Mo Qi was also annoyed.
"Ling Xiao, let me tell you, you are a grasshopper on the same boat with me now, if I don't get what I want, don't feel bad about it, you know, your own existence is a danger now, you have no net... "
Ling Xiao covered her mouth: "You are crazy, so loud, afraid that no one will know about it!"
Mo Qi struggled to get rid of him: "I, Mo Qi, can be bullied by anyone in this palace, what am I afraid of!"
"The big deal is to die together! You are a man, I think the emperor will take you first."
"Mo Qi!" Ling Xiao stared at her, Mo Qi raised her head with pride.
Ling Xiao laughed angrily: "Okay, tell me, what are you going to do?"
