The King's Favor [Rebirth]

In fact, Xie Linxi was somewhat conflicted about how to deal with Bai Yuxiao.He wanted to keep this thing but didn't want to keep it. He took it out of Xie's house and originally wanted to throw it away, but he didn't let go along the way.

It's not because of the person who gave Xiao away, but because of Xiao, who belonged to his mother.

Not the adoptive mother, but the old thing of the biological mother.

He was adopted when he was five years old, and was taken in by Qi Jingyuan when his adoptive parents passed away when he was 17 years old.But before he was adopted, he was cared for by his mother. In his almost vague memory, his mother was a very gentle and beautiful person.

She is talented and beautiful, but it is a pity that she is the daughter of a prisoner, and she was favored and raised in a house in the exile.Because of his status, he is not allowed to leave the house all year round, like a caged bird with broken wings.

When she has nothing to do, she likes to play the flute under the moon, and the sound is sympathetic. He doesn't understand but feels sad for no reason.

Countless times, she told Xie Linxi that this Xiao was a gift from his father to his mother, and she remembered every pattern on the Xiao and taught him to recognize it.

She said that his father was an upright hero, guarding the peace of one side.But Xie Linxi has never met that so-called father. He asked this question before, and what he got was comfort from his mother, as well as guilt and tears that he couldn't understand at the time.

At that time, he was ignorant and hopeful, hoping that one day he could become a person like his father.

Later his mother died in a fire, and everything except him, including the house, disappeared in that fire.He met his so-called father that day, and after half a day, he was changed by the so-called father and sent to his adoptive parents' home.

In these years, he has collected Xiao because of the sustenance and thoughts he had when he was a child.

It's ridiculous to say that his memory of his mother is getting shallower and shallower, but what he remembers most is that Bai Yuxiao.He thought it was also destroyed in the fire, but he didn't expect that after so many years, someone brought it to his eyes again.

The man who sent Xiao off was nothing more than the power and status he now possessed, and he wanted to use the old man to arouse the connection between them, but he was no longer interested in those.

The reason why he didn't throw away the Bai Yuxiao was because of his mother who died in the fire.

He didn't feel comfortable holding this object, nor did he feel comfortable throwing it away, but now that Qi Jingyuan opened his mouth, he found a good home for it.

Thinking of this, Xie Linxi held back his mind, looked at Qi Jingyuan who was calm and smiling, and said, "My lord, don't laugh at my minister, this thing is an old thing, it shouldn't be taken out to make a fool of myself in front of my lord, but I don't have any good things at hand. It's an honor for me to be in your eyes, if my lord doesn't dislike this thing as an old thing."

The moment Qi Jingyuan spoke at Xie Linxi's mouth, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, but the expression in his eyes became lighter. When he heard the back, a slight smile appeared between his eyes and brows. When Xie Linxi's words fell, he almost couldn't wait to speak. Said: "Naturally, I don't dislike it. It's the first time Wushuang gave me something, and it's too late for me to cherish it. How can I dislike it?"

These words sound a bit weird, but after Qi Jingyuan's gag, Xie Linxi's ups and downs due to the appearance of Bai Yuxiao calmed down.

He handed the things up, Qi Jingyuan stroked the patterns on the brocade box and did not open it directly.

Xie Linxi looked away, acting out of sight and out of mind.

Taking advantage of the situation, he told the story of his predecessor Yin Liu's suicide, and then he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's the humble minister who didn't watch over people and ruined the prince's plan. Please punish the prince."

At the moment when he pleaded guilty, Qi Jingyuan grabbed his arm and said, "It's just a trivial matter, is it worth your pleading?"

Xie Linxi stood up straight and said softly: "After all, I have underestimated his desire to die."

"I'd rather die than tell the person behind it, but it's still a character. Forget it, let him go." Qi Jingyuan snorted and said, "His life and death have nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself for others."

Xie Linxi paused for this concern, and said yes.

Qi Jingyuan looked at him, and said after a while: "Go and do your work." His tone was light, and there seemed to be a trace of attachment and melancholy lingering under the careful observation.

Xie Linxi lowered her eyebrows and took a few steps back, then turned and left.

Qi Jingyuan has been watching him silently, and only after the palace door is closed, he looks away.When his eyes fell on the brocade box in his hand, he fiddled with it a few times, then chuckled twice.

I don't know if he has experienced everything he should have experienced during the day, but Xie Linxi's duty that night was exceptionally smooth, and it was a rare peaceful night in the palace.

In the middle of the night, when he inspected the palace defense and found Jinghua Hall, he saw the lights in front of the Jinghua Hall, there were guards outside the hall, and an internal warden was waiting at the door.

Seeing this scene, Xie Linxi raised her eyebrows.

The Jinghua Palace was the residence that the old emperor personally promised to Qi Jingyuan in the palace when he was alive, so that he could rest while critiquing papers, but in order to avoid suspicion, Qi Jingyuan never stayed overnight except for napping papers during the day.

In the past, the gate of Jinghua Palace would be closed when the lights were turned on, leaving only a few lights and guards outside.

Today, when the brightly lit palace door is opened, it can be seen that Qi Jingyuan has not left.

A guard named Li Zhong saw Xie Linxi in front of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Commander Xie, the lord said that you will definitely come here when you watch the night. The lord asked the humble officer to tell Commander Xie that there are a lot of papers today, so he will be there Rest in the hall. The prince told Commander Xie not to worry about him, there is a supper in the imperial dining room, you should eat something before going back to rest."

There was an unconcealable envy in the tone of the person who sent the message, also, Xie Linxi was the only one who could fall into Qi Jingyuan's eyes.Whether the two are close or not can be seen from Qi Jingyuan's attitude.

As soon as Li Zhong said this, Xie Linxi's heart trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He cupped his hands in front of the Jinghua Palace door indifferently and said: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

Then he took people away to inspect the next place, as if Qi Jingyuan had confessed the most common thing.

Xie Linxi knew that when the sun rose, Qi Jingyuan's overnight stay in Jinghua Palace would definitely cause a disturbance.

He didn't feel too much about it. When Qi Jingyuan insisted on avoiding suspicion, he once said jokingly: "Even if the lord took all the documents home to deal with them to avoid suspicion, others would just pretend to be lords to use power for personal gain and tamper with the records. "

In Xie Linxi's view, suspicion is the most terrifying thing.

If Qi Jingyuan was trusted by the little emperor, even if what he did was arrogated, the little emperor should know that he was doing it for his own good.On the contrary, even if he worked tirelessly for Daqi, others would only think that he was doing it for power.

Therefore, it is not the root of being unable to live in the Jinghua Palace, the most fundamental thing is the human heart.

At that time, Qi Jingyuan was silent for a while, and then he said: "I understand what Wushuang said, but I always think that what should be avoided is to avoid it. Let's talk about it when it is really unavoidable. Anyway, Wushuang will always be in this king's place." Around."

Xie Linxi said: "What the prince said is true."

It has been several years since that conversation, and the world is impermanent, and now this situation suddenly seems to be a joke at that time.

But that's good too, Xie Linxi thought with a blank face, Qi Jingyuan has been questioned too much these years, since no matter what he does he can't get rid of the suspicion, it's better to be like this, at least he doesn't have to wrong himself.

The next day, Qi Jingyuan's overnight stay in Jinghua Palace caused a great commotion inside and outside the court, as Xie Linxi had guessed.

Some people say that even if the regent stays in the palace, he still has etiquette to follow, so there is no need to speculate too much.

More people thought that Qi Jingyuan was expressing his dissatisfaction with the construction of Shenglin Terrace, and took the opportunity to give the little emperor and the queen mother a warning.

When the little emperor Qi Yu sat on the dragon chair in the court, he was a little apprehensive. After he came down, he said to Qi Jingyuan, "I trust the emperor uncle."

Qi Jingyuan smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything else.

Later Qi Jingyuan often stayed in Jinghua Palace, and everyone got used to it day by day.

That's how things went.

Three days later, the Empress Dowager found out that there were maids in her palace who were eating with other eunuchs from other palaces.

As soon as this incident happened, the queen mother was furious. After investigation, it was found that the person who was eating with the court lady was the same roommate of the apprentice of Yinjiu, the inner prisoner next to Qi Jingyuan.

The Empress Dowager was naturally angry, and instead of ordering Yin Jiu to be arrested, she ordered Qi Jingyuan to come to Renshou Palace, while she dragged the little emperor to order the maids in her own palace to be killed with a stick.

When Qi Jingyuan arrived at Renshou Palace, the maid had already been beaten to death, and she was lying in front of the gate of Renshou Palace, her blood still wet.

Qi Jingyuan only took one look, and approached the palace with a calm expression.

Xie Linxi who was following him didn't make a sound either.

Perhaps the process was somewhat bloody and cruel, and the little emperor Qi Yu's face turned pale, looking very uncomfortable.

After Qi Jingyuan sat down, the Empress Dowager sat on the imperial concubine chair and said with a sneer, "It's an obscene thing about the harem, it doesn't take the emperor seriously at all, it's cheap for her to die like this."

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment after she finished saying what she meant. She looked at Qi Jingyuan with an angry tone and said, "My lord, don't think that I am serious. The emperor is young and ignorant of human affairs. If he is brought down by these shameless things It's a heinous sin."

Qi Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, he looked at the queen mother and then at the little emperor, pursed his lips and chuckled, his expression cold and proud, he said calmly, "I think the queen mother is too kind, sometimes death is a It’s a particularly easy thing to do, but it’s hard to live.”

The queen mother frowned, and the little emperor Qi Yu looked at him, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Qi Jingyuan glanced behind him and said, "Linxi, tell me, how will such a taboo person be dealt with when he arrives at the Heavenly Prison?"

Xie Linxi's expression was serious when he heard this, and he said in a gentle and gentle voice: "My lord, if such a person enters the prison, you can scrape off her flesh with a comb first, and you can't put her to death during the period, and then you can use a comb to punish her." Sprinkle salt and sugar on her wound, and let thousands of ants bite her when she is in extreme pain, so she has no way to survive or die. If there is someone behind her, she will definitely confess under punishment. But this day, the prison officer interrogated her He has always been a heinous person who commits the crime of losing his head and ransacking his house, no matter how many punishments he receives, it will be light."

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed slightly when she heard these words, and the picture Xie Linxi said appeared in the little emperor's mind, his face was pale, his body was shaking and he was about to retch.

"That's why I said just now that the emperor and the empress dowager are too kind to those who have committed mistakes." Qi Jingyuan did not look at the little emperor, but looked at the empress dowager with a gloomy gaze and said: "However, the empress dowager is in charge of the affairs of the harem. The Heavenly Prison Division is different, and it is not easy to make comparisons in terms of punishment."

The two sang together, implying that the prisoner is the government, and the queen mother is the harem.

Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics.

The Empress Dowager forced a smile when she heard the words, her brows furrowed, her almond eyes drooped slightly and she said: "Your Highness is right, it's because I, a woman, have never seen anything in the world."

The little emperor Qi Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he said with a trembling voice with a pale face: "Uncle Emperor, is this punishment too severe? Killing people can't be done without nodding their heads. Why do you torture people like this?"

"Heavy? Torture?" Qi Jingyuan murmured these words in doubt, then he smiled, his beautiful face was full of uncontrollable laughter, and then he said like a loving elder teaching the younger generation: "Your Majesty, it hurts human life." How can we tell the severity of the punishment? What's more, when they committed the crime of implicating the nine clans, have they considered so much. If the punishment is not used properly, how can they find out the people behind them, and how can they protect the safety of the emperor?"

The little emperor Qi Yu was speechless, Qi Jingyuan smiled dignifiedly and politely, then got up and left under the pretext of having important matters to deal with.

Xie Linxi followed behind him expressionlessly.
