The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Remembering who was holding his right hand, and the sword had already been kept by others, Xie Linxi's body just froze for a while, and he didn't make any presumptuous movements. Afterwards, he wanted to cup his fists to ask and withdraw his hand.

He doesn't like being so close to someone, even if this person is Qi Jingyuan, his savior, and the object of his allegiance.

It's just that the prince called out, but he didn't make the movement of clasping his fists and pulling his hands out, instead he was clenched even tighter.

And the moment he opened his mouth, Qi Jingyuan frowned, looked up at him displeased, then took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it on the tip of Xie Linxi's right index finger a few times: " Don't you like cleanliness the most, you don't know if there is blood here?"

Xie Linxi lowered his head, fixedly looked and looked at the silk handkerchief outlined by gold and silver threads, and then opened his eyes to look hard, barely seeing something on the snow-white silk handkerchief. Red marks with larger pinpoints.

Xie Linxi fell silent, Xie Linxi had nothing to say.

He didn't even know that Qi Jingyuan's eyes were so sharp and his nose was so sharp, he could see and smell blood that he couldn't see.

Qi Jingyuan was satisfied, and looked carefully at Xie Linxi's hand again.

Xie Linxi's hands are not so delicate compared to Qi Jingyuan's, but they are also as thin and straight as bamboo, and the joints are grainy, straight up.

After Qi Jingyuan found no other bloodstains on his hand, Fang pressed the brocade handkerchief into his palm.

Xie Linxi paused, he didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that the moment Qi Jingyuan let go of his hand, this person seemed to be rubbing his fingertips lingeringly.

It was a very slight, ambiguous and grand gesture.

This made Xie Linxi wonder if he was thinking too much, or if he just bumped into it by accident.

"What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied." Qi Jingyuan was unaware of this, and his tone was half smiling and half asking.

Xie Linxi looked up suddenly, unconsciously shook the handkerchief in his hand and said respectfully: "Thank you, my lord, I will return this handkerchief to you after I go back and wash it."

Qi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly: "Why, this king lacks this handkerchief?"

Xie Linxi's mind and body have been settled, and his mind and mind have returned to normal. Hearing this, he hurriedly put the handkerchief into his arms and said with a smile: "What the lord said is that the lord's treasures are as numerous as the carp crossing the river. There is no shortage of this handkerchief. Then the humble minister will take care of it." Thank you lord for the reward. I have grown my eyesight after being by lord's side for a few years. This handkerchief is probably made of red brocade brought in as a tribute from Beichi. It feels warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a priceless treasure. Take it out and sell it for a lot of silver."

"What kind of reward is this?" Qi Jingyuan curled his lips and said quietly: "If you like this red brocade, I'll send some horses to your house to make clothes."

Xie Linxi's heart was beating up and down because of Qi Jingyuan's words today, and he felt that the prince of his family didn't know what was going on, but he dared not agree to this.

He just said that the red brocade is a tribute from Bei Chi, and there is a price but no market.

There are only a few horses in the palace every year. In recent years, because the power of Daqi has become weaker, these things have become less and less.Both the queen mother and the emperor couldn't make clothes, so how could he have the face to get a few horses to make clothes.

So he smiled wryly as if begging for mercy: "My lord, there is only one person in my house, and it is useless to use such a good cloth except to be missed by thieves. You also know that I can't tell the difference between the cloth and the cloth." What's the difference, giving such a good thing to Weichen would be like dusting the pearl, the prince should stop making fun of Weichen."

Qi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this refusal, and after a long time he said casually: "Listen to you, a few pieces of cloth are worth your long-winded words, in the future, just ask what you want, and you can choose what is in the palace." Just take it."

There is obvious connivance in the tone without being annoying.

Speaking of Qi Jingyuan, as the regent, needless to say about his background, he was already rich and powerful, and now he is even more powerful.

He has a handsome face, at first glance he looks like a golden boy in a New Year painting, with raised phoenix eyes, a protruding nose, and slightly raised lips.The outline between the eyebrows and eyes is clear, the neck is slender and smooth, the shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow, and the legs are straight.

Coupled with the arrogance and extravagance between the eyebrows and eyes, it can be said that people are so aggressive.

Even if her tone of voice is unhurried, but because of her natural arrogance and dignity, most of her words are orders, and she often doesn't look straight at others, which always gives people a sense of arrogance and unattainable alienation.

Xie Linxi has long been used to his behavior, but in recent days, Qi Jingyuan didn't know what medicine Qi Jingyuan took wrongly, or thought of some troublesome idea.

In short, this high-cold and wealthy flower always descends to the earth in front of him, which is a bit too down-to-earth.

At the beginning, Xie Linxi was very uncomfortable, thinking that the regent had been secretly replaced, but after seeing that he was still the same when handling the government affairs, he secretly felt relieved.

In fact, even now, Xie Linxi was still a little uncomfortable with Qi Jingyuan's change, and he hoped that this person would treat him as usual, with more than intimacy and trust.

We are both monarchs and ministers and good friends, and it is enough to have a distance and occasionally be able to chat and laugh when we are in a good mood.

It's just that Qi Jingyuan always thinks about it, and his mood is cloudy and sunny. Originally, Xie Linxi had figured out his temperament, but now he couldn't figure it out again.

These thoughts only floated up in his mind for a while. When Qi Jingyuan asked how he was, he had pulled his thoughts away from these messy things, and followed the trend: "After being tortured twice, only Said that no one instructed him to give medicine to the prince. His family has sent people to investigate, and they have moved away, and the minister is tracking down their whereabouts."

The person they were talking about was none other than the former Yinliu.

The reason why the former Yinliu was taken down to heaven was not only because of a cup of hot tea, but mainly because the cup of tea he served that day had medicine in it, which was also a medicine that made people feel confused and infatuated.

Qi Jingyuan picked it up, even if there was a colorless and tasteless medicine in the tea, he could taste it in one gulp.The medicinal properties were so strong that Qi Jingyuan soaked in cold water for half a day after just half a mouthful.

Fortunately, even though midsummer is over, the weather is not too cold, otherwise, soaking in cold water like that would damage the body.

The former Yinliu will naturally be taken down, and the jailer will be interrogated to find the person behind the scenes who instigated him.

After hearing this, Qi Jingyuan said: "Forget it, there is no need to investigate further."

Xie Linxi didn't say a word. Everyone knew that Qi Jingyuan was not a generous person, and he could even be described as a small belly.Being framed, he didn't have ten times the revenge in the past.

Now that he suddenly opened up to his predecessor, Yinliuwang, Xie Linxi, who knew it well, naturally knew that he was not confused to do so.

Qi Jingyuan continued as he thought: "Let him go, I believe someone will take care of him for this king soon."

Xie Linxi responded, thinking the same thing, the former Yinliu's family moved away, either because of some news or because they were guarded and used to manipulate him.

Qi Jingyuan never spared anyone who wanted to harm him. If his predecessor, Yin Liu, was released, those who cared would get rid of him soon.

It depends on whether the former Yinliu's brain is smart or not, if he doesn't speak up, he's afraid it will hurt his family.He was the one who framed Qi Jingyuan for telling the truth, and if he was misunderstood by others, the whole family would die.

"What do you think about this matter?" Just as he was thinking about this, Qi Jingyuan suddenly asked.

Xie Linxi's heart trembled, and he lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "My lord, this matter is very important. There is no conclusive evidence, and I have no idea."

This answer is very orthodox, it won't offend anyone, and it won't come out of the mouth, but it's not what Qi Jingyuan wants.

However, he did not force Xie Linxi to express his true thoughts, but continued to speak: "Wu Shuang, you and I have known each other for seven years, and I can guess what you are thinking. The emperor is getting bigger and bigger. It's not very good, some people are anxious, and they always want to use some tricks secretly, trying to get rid of this king's fault."

Wushuang is Xie Linxi's character. Qi Jingyuan picked him up and asked for his name back then. After knowing that he had no characters, he said, "Jiao Jiao beats Bai Yue, and the world is unparalleled. Since you have no characters, I will give you one. Wushuang, how about Xie Wushuang?"

The savior spoke, and Xie Linxi naturally agreed.

From then on, only Qi Jingyuan in this world would call him that.

Qi Jingyuan was 16 years old when he picked up Xie Linxi, and Xie Linxi was 17 years old.

Now seven years have passed, Xie Linxi is 24 years old, Qi Jingyuan is 23 years old.Qi Jingyuan has been the regent for six years, and Xie Linxi has been in prison for six years.

Time flies, and I suddenly have such thoughts.

At this time, Xie Linxi's heart was slightly moved by Qi Jingyuan's words, and he said: "My lord..."

Qi Jingyuan raised his hand to interrupt what he was going to say: "I understand what you are thinking. The emperor became emperor at the age of five, and now he is eleven. Some people are worried that I will not return to the government by then, and they are guarding against me."

The Regent The Regent has always been the most unflattering prince. He usually doesn't have a good time for a long time, and after his death, he will have a reputation of controlling the government and despising the emperor.

When the emperor was young and unstable, the regent was used to keep out the wind and rain. When the emperor grew up and had full wings, the regent became a thorn in the eyes of others.

Even if the little emperor didn't have such thoughts at first, he would be distracted inadvertently by being pushed behind him.

Of course, there are also regents who have sat in this position for a long time and want to replace the little emperor.

All in all, since ancient times, there are almost no regents who can die well.

When Qi Jingyuan took over this burden, he thought of the consequences.

After so many years, the tone of mentioning this matter is quite sparse and ordinary.

Qi Jingyuan had never said this before, but for some reason he suddenly brought it up today.

Xie Linxi lowered his eyes and said: "I know that the prince doesn't have such thoughts."

This is not a compliment, he has been with Qi Jingyuan for the past few years, and he can see it clearly.Qi Jingyuan has a bad reputation, with a gloomy temper and bloody methods, but everything he does is to maintain the stability of Daqi and is beneficial to Daqi.

If he doesn't do this, if he can't control people, he won't be able to stabilize the situation.If he did this, his reputation would not be good.

Qi Jingyuan was not even a person with a strong desire for power. Before he became the regent, he wanted to be a wealthy prince, with no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyment.Anyone who has gained his trust knows that he is waiting for the little emperor to grow up and return the court to him.

On weekdays, he acts vigorously and resolutely, but he just wants to have a stable court.

But the queen mother didn't believe it, and those who secretly supported the little emperor didn't believe it.As for the little emperor, maybe he believes it, maybe he doesn't.

In short, the regent's job is not easy to do.

After hearing Xie Linxi's words, Qi Jingyuan laughed lowly, and said vaguely: "Who can say such things accurately."

What he said was vague and vague, Xie Linxi didn't hear clearly, and raised his eyes with some doubts.

Qi Jingyuan staggered his eyes and slowly changed the topic: "I won't mention this anymore. Before you came, the emperor sent someone to say that he was in trouble and wanted to see me. It's almost time. You can go with me. It's too boring to go alone."

Xie Linxi frowned and said: "The emperor is confused but wants to build the Shenglin Tower?"

Qi Jingyuan hummed.

Xie Linxi pouted in his heart.

It is said that the queen mother's birthday is three months away, and she wants to make a big deal of it.Everyone else has thought about it for her, first build the Shenglin Tower in the palace.

Shenglin, Sheng also means birth, Lin, and Lin'er, which means that the emperor gave birth to the emperor through hard work.At that time, the best pear blossom troupe in the capital will be invited to sing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

It's just that before the old emperor died of illness, the treasury was already empty.After Qi Jingyuan's hard work in the past few years, the treasury of the Daqi State is not very full. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, there are more places that need money, the military salaries at the border gates need to be paid, and snowstorms in various places have to be taken into account.

Qi Jingyuan has been pressing and refusing to approve the construction of Shenglin Terrace.

Everyone knows that although someone else came up with the idea, it is the Queen Mother's heartfelt thoughts.Qi Jingyuan refused to approve, and the queen mother was very angry because of this. She felt that he did not give her face, deliberately treated her coldly, and even suspected that he was against the emperor.

The young emperor Qi Yu was caught in a dilemma between the Queen Mother and Qi Jingyuan.

Now that the little emperor opened his mouth, if Qi Jingyuan continued to suppress his approval, the courtiers would naturally have something to say.

The regent can even dismiss the empress dowager and the emperor's face, who will believe him if he has no second thoughts?

Xie Linxi can understand that some people do this for the sake of power.Even if they knew that Qi Jingyuan did these things not for himself, they could use it against their conscience to sow discord between the regent king and the little emperor.

Xie Linxi has never received much love and care in this life. She has a perverse personality and has different ideas from ordinary people. Sometimes she feels that being reasonable to these people is worse than farting.

It is better to let them do it themselves, and they will know how death is written in the end.

"Let's go." When Qi Jingyuan's deep and hoarse voice came to his ears, Xie Linxi came back to his senses, saw that he had already arranged his clothes, and followed him to see the little emperor.
