The King's Favor [Rebirth]

After leaving Qianchen Palace, Qi Jingyuan kept holding that handsome face on the way back.Others could see displeasure and indifference from his good looks, but Xie Linxi knew that he was very happy, and he was holding back the smile on his face.

Because the eyes can't deceive anyone, the smile in Qi Jingyuan's eyes spread around the corners of his eyes, the eyes were bright, and there was only cheerfulness in them.

Xie Linxi also felt happy, especially when Qi Jingyuan pointed out the thoughts of the emperor, queen mother, Ji Mingyi and others unceremoniously without leaving any fig leaf for them.

Thinking of how stunned everyone was at that time, I felt even more at ease.

Xie Linxi didn't think there was anything wrong with Qi Jingyuan's doing so. Even if he didn't specify that it was the Queen Mother's intention, even if he made all the people of Da Qi think that someone else wanted to celebrate the Queen Mother, the reputation of evacuating the treasury would not fall to the Queen Mother and the emperor at all. Even if this incident was prevented from happening this time, Qi Jingyuan would not benefit at all.

All he got was endless slander.

It might as well be like this, since the queen mother and the emperor are willing to build the Shenglin Tower, they will tell everyone that it is the queen mother and the emperor's own intention.

The reason why the national treasury has been empty is also due to the empress dowager and the emperor, so there is no need to help them hide it.

In the future, when people in the world scold this matter, none of them can run away.

Xie Linxi knew that his idea was a bit outrageous, but he didn't think there was any problem.He was born suffering, his father refused to recognize his mother and died early, and after his adoptive father and adoptive mother passed away, Qi Jingyuan gave him a hand. When he considered problems, he naturally focused on Qi Jingyuan.

Furthermore, Qi Jingyuan was very attentive to the little emperor, and he never deliberately flattered him or led him in a bad way in terms of teaching.He was not allowed to intervene too much in government affairs. Apart from the fact that the little emperor was weak, it was also because of his young age, unstable temperament and easy to be deceived.

But Qi Jingyuan has always been very attentive to the little emperor.

Xie Linxi would hide those rebellious thoughts in his heart by accident, and even Qi Jingyuan didn't know about them.

Qi Jingyuan suddenly broke out of his comfort zone today, no matter what others think, Xie Linxi is happy.

At least you don't have to suffer from those oppressions all the time.

What's more, in this position, Qi Jingyuan, like him, has been recognized by the world as a heinous cancer, and the temperament of doing things that do not conform to the cancer is not good.

Along the way, Xie Linxi thought about this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Back in Jinghua Hall, Qi Jingyuan waved everyone to retreat, leaving him alone.

After the door of Jinghua Palace was closed, Qi Jingyuan looked at Xie Linxi quietly, and finally the smile in his eyes couldn't be controlled, it spread from the corner of his eyes to the corner of his mouth, and finally jumped out from his throat.

Qi Jingyuan laughed out loud, the corners of his eyes hurt when he laughed, and the corners of his mouth cramped, and finally his whole body went limp, as if he was holding on to the table and couldn't stand still and was about to fall.

Xie Linxi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Qi Jingyuan put his head on his shoulder and continued to laugh, trembling all over, he said: "Did you see the expressions of those people? It's ridiculous."

Xie Linxi hummed, and helplessly supported his waist that was about to slide down, pulled him on him and said, "My lord."

Qi Jingyuan laughed a few more times, and then he staggered and stood firm, with a sly look on his face, proud and proud eyes: "You know why this king invited those ministers here."

There are many people, and anything will spread.

Especially there are still courtiers who are devoted to Qi Jingyuan inside.

It's not that the Queen Mother wants to hide behind other people and enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman. Even if she really can't get the money in the future, she won't be able to get involved with her. He is not as good as these people.

Now many people are afraid that they are disturbed, wondering why they are so talkative all of a sudden, and whether there are other conspiracies hidden in it.He felt happy thinking that those people would not be able to sleep.

Only by acting recklessly like this will you know how difficult the previous days were.

Xie Linxi looked at Qi Jingyuan, feeling a little familiar yet strange.But it is undeniable that such a willful Qi Jingyuan gradually overlapped with the person who brought him home back then.

At that time Qi Jingyuan was still Prince Rui, the emperor's younger brother.

Under the protection of the emperor, he lived arrogantly and willfully, standing there is the most beautiful scenery.He doesn't need to think too much, he just needs to consider whether he is happy or not.

Ever since he became the regent, the expression on his face has become less and less, the way he does things has become more unpredictable, and his life has become more depressing.Standing in such a position, if you want to maintain an excessive stability, it is necessary to be ruthless and bloody.

Xie Linxi's eyes are very focused when looking at a person, and he has such an affectionate expression and such a gentle and handsome face, it is easy to be misunderstood.

Qi Jingyuan's heart trembled slightly, he turned his eyes away calmly and said, "Are you wondering why this king would do this?"

Xie Linxi shook his head and said: "The prince is dedicated to the court and the emperor, and he has his own reasons for everything he does."

"Wushuang's words are the most lovable." Qi Jingyuan said with a smile on his face, "Because this king has figured it out, this world is like this, and everything is corrupt and full of doubts. Even if I succeeded in preventing the Queen Mother from building the Shenglin Tower today, I was nothing more than coercion in the future." The emperor added a few more money to the reputation of the world. When the money is needed, no one will think of what the king has done, but it can be used as evidence in the future when the liquidation is settled. In this case, the king will Let them, follow them, I want to see how long they can be rampant."

Xie Linxi paused and said, "My lord's advice."

Qi Jingyuan looked back and saw his eyebrows curved.

Xie Linxi didn't ask him why he said this to himself. Qi Jingyuan would mention some things before, but he would never say it so bluntly.

But he doesn't know how to ask many things at all, and he doesn't want to ask whether he should ask or not.

Qi Jingyuan used to like his cleverness the most, but now he wished that he would be stupid enough to ask questions.

But there is still a chance, Qi Jingyuan thought to himself, there is still a long time to come.

@@@

When Xie Linxi left Jinghua Palace, it was Yinliu who was on duty outside.

The people around Qi Jingyuan are on duty for a fixed time, and it happens to everyone, even Yin Liu who just took office is no exception.However, most of the time it was Jin Yi who waited on him, Jin Yi was the only one of the gold generation, and the silver generation didn't serve him for long.

Because of the incident with his predecessor, Yin Liu, Jin Yi was sentenced to fifty rods and is recuperating.

So the errands are temporarily replaced by the inner eunuch of the silver class.

Yin Liu felt physically uncomfortable when he saw Xie Linxi.

All he could think of was Xie Linxi's body covered in blood, smiling but casually talking to him, which made people shudder.

Xie Linxi was fine, he had a good temper and greeted Yin Liu, and then Shi Shi ran away.

After leaving the palace, he went directly to the Heavenly Prison Division.

The prisoner's underground dungeon is dark, probably because there are too many people being tortured, and the smell of blood is pervasive, and there is a strong smell of rust when you enter it.

The appearance of the former Yinliu was quite miserable, with his hands hanging from the ground and his legs slightly off the ground, his clothes were torn by the whip, and his chest smelled like burnt flesh.

At this time, his head was half hanging, and he fainted from the pain.

In Xie Linxi's hands, the Prisoner who went to heaven fell into Xie Linxi's hands. If he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin. It was never an empty talk.

Xie Linxi glanced at the people around him.

The ice-cold salt water was poured on the former Yinliu, and the smell of blood permeated the air. The former Yinliu woke up in a jerk, and the pain from the wound made him groan.

When he saw Xie Linxi, he closed his eyes slightly, with a look of indifference to life and death.

His face was covered with congealed blood and sweat and messy hair, and his face could not be seen clearly for a while, but if you look closely, you can still see his handsome face.

This is also true, Qi Jingyuan is good-looking, and he also likes beautiful things, and the inner eunuchs and maids around him are all one in a thousand.He didn't have any other intentions in doing this, mainly because he thought it was seductive.

Xie Linxi smiled kindly: "Sixth Eunuch, we have known each other for several years, since you don't want to speak, then I can't force you either. The prince said it, and for the sake of your many years of service, he decided to let you go out. "

Then, seeing Yin Liu's slightly startled expression, he clapped his hands, and ordered: "Put him in some clothes and take care of him. After all, he came out from the prince's side, so don't embarrass him."

This Yinliu moved his mouth but couldn't say a word, so he didn't blame him.

At the beginning when he was arrested and sent to the Prison Division, because he had the tendency to commit suicide, Xie Linxi directly took his chin off.

So Xie Linxi was not lying when she told the current Yin Liu that this person couldn't even bite his tongue and kill himself.

The former Yinliu looked at Xie Linxi quietly, his eyes were dazed first and then enlightened, and he could see that he had already figured out the meaning of Xie Linxi's words.But even so, he still didn't want to say anything.

Xie Linxi closed his chin, waited for a while, seeing that he was ready to die, felt extremely boring in his heart, and said: "Since the sixth father-in-law has nothing to say, let's go on the road."

A pun, both leaving and death, after saying this, he turned and left.

Xie Linxi signaled Ya Wei to let him go, but he turned and left.He had just walked a few steps, and the cell hadn't left yet, when he suddenly heard exclamations and the sound of a knife piercing his body behind him.

He turned his head, and saw his predecessor Yin Liu, who had just been untied and put down, held his last breath and strangled the neck of a yamen guard next to him, pinching the yamen guard straight and rolling his eyes.

Someone at the side took out an execution knife and stabbed it into Yinliu's stomach.

Xie Linxi walked quickly, only to see Yinliu let go of his hand and fell to the ground.The Yawei who was almost strangled by him was half kneeling beside him, coughing heart-rendingly.

Yin Liu looked at Xie Linxi with blurred eyes, vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly: "You can't help yourself, but the law is clear, and sooner or later someone will avenge the innocent people who died at your hands."

After saying this, he closed his eyes, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Because the person who was going to be let go died, everyone knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xie Linxi looked at Yin Liu who had died peacefully, and was silent for a while, before he said coldly, "Take him out."

Someone asked softly, "Are you going to throw it into a random grave to feed the dogs?"

Xie Linxi frowned impatiently and sneered: "Hey dog? I think I'll feed you first if you want to feed. The person the prince wanted to release died before he walked out of the gate of the prison division. You should think about your own heads. Cheng Shuai, Take him out and find a place to bury him."

After saying this, he quickly left the prison.

The people kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and after a while, someone poked the biggest and darkest human beside him and said, "Cheng Tou, what does this mean?"

Cheng Tou is also Cheng Shuai. He is tall and rough, but has a small heart. He often follows Xie Linxi's side, and he can be regarded as a trustworthy person.

Hearing this, he stood up and said: "What do you mean? Just take the obvious meaning, carry him out and bury him. We brothers didn't do a good job in this matter today. This kid returned it to the commander before he died. Let's set it up."

Cheng Shuai said this with a hint of warning, because it was Yin Liu's first sentence before he died.He was afraid that if this word reached the ears of the prince, it would cause unnecessary misunderstanding to Xie Linxi.

"It's because I'm inexperienced." Yawei Zhou Wen, who was choked, said with a mournful face and lingering fear.

He is a newcomer and has no experience in performing missions for the first time. He did not expect that his life would be in danger if he got close to an unarmed person.

I almost went to Yan Luodian, but it left a huge shadow in my heart.

"Where is the prince?" Someone else asked worriedly.

"Do you dare to guess what the prince is thinking?" Cheng Shuai rolled his eyes and said.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and silently raised Yin Liu, ready to bury him, which was regarded as a way to show dignity after death.

Xie Linxi came out of the cell and took a deep breath.

He has been used to the smell of blood for so many years, but sometimes he still feels nauseous.

He changed his official robes in the back hall and returned home in white clothes with a gilt folding fan in his hand.

Cheng Shuai knew where to find him if the Prison Secretary wanted anything.

The Xie mansion he lived in was given to him by Qi Jingyuan after he took over the office of the Prison Secretary. The inscription on the door plaque was written by Qi Jingyuan himself, and the iron strokes and silver hooks stand out.

This house is on Zhuque Street, which is very close to the Imperial Palace. This street is full of high-ranking officials and nobles. His house is not big, but the objects inside are very exquisite.

Xie Linxi did not lie to Qi Jingyuan, his Xie's house was really just a house for people to live in.Except for the guards, there are not many servants, and there is no smell of fireworks inside.

After Xie Linxi went back, the housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, was his favorite. He mumbled that he had lost weight, so he hurriedly asked the small kitchen to make him supplements to nourish his body.

Xie Linxi didn't have much appetite, but he still let Zhang Bo order him to toss about.

Uncle Zhang has been by his side all the time. Now he is old, but his eyes and ears are not blind. He has a smile on his face all the year round, and there are many creases at the corners of his eyes.

After finishing his homely conversation, Uncle Zhang took out a brocade box from his arms and said, "My lord, someone put this in front of the door today. The concierge didn't see anyone, and he doesn't know who it is."

Xie Linxi looked at the pattern on the brocade box, his face changed slightly, then he took the box, opened it and saw a worn white jade flute inside.

Xie Linxi likes Xiao, this is something that many people in the capital know.

In order to curry favor with him, someone collected all kinds of Xiaos and wanted to dedicate them to him.Some people wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but he confiscated what was sent and only wanted to buy it himself.

Xie Linxi looked at Xiao in the brocade box, his hands were tight and tight, and he barely threw the things out directly.

In the end, he held the edge of the brocade box and said calmly: "Uncle Zhang, pay attention to the front of the door. Next time you see someone putting things down, just take them down."

Uncle Zhang saw that there was a change in his face, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he said yes.

As soon as this happened, Xie Linxi lost the mood to stay in Xie's house, so she took the brocade box and left.
