The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Walking in front of the palace maid who was executed with a rod, Qi Jingyuan stopped, and the palace servants and guards all knelt quietly on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

The maid's body was already stiff, blood stained the open space under her, her last expression left in this world was pain, helplessness and despair.

Qi Jingyuan's expression was gloomy and downcast, and he said in a low voice: "It's too ugly to die, after all, it's someone from the empress dowager's palace, and the emperor and empress dowager have compassion, I'm afraid I can't see it. Hurry up and carry him down, don't scare the emperor and the empress dowager, and don't let the empress dowager feel sad when she sees this old man."

The guards kneeling on the ground responded when they heard this, and hurriedly stood up to carry the dead maid away.

During this period, some people hesitated and showed embarrassment, as if they wanted to ask the Queen Mother and the little emperor for their opinions.But when he saw Qi Jingyuan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he lowered his head in fear.

After the person was carried down, Qi Jingyuan said softly, "Linxi, let's go."

Xie Linxi said: "Yes, my lord."

When the figures of the two disappeared completely in Renshou Palace, the Empress Dowager clasped her hands firmly on the edge of the imperial concubine chair.

Two of the long nails painted with cardamom were broken due to too much force. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, but it was not very effective.The emotions in her heart still floated on her face, which made her look a little hideous.

But she was very restrained and didn't say a word about Qi Jingyuan before swiping back the palace servants in the hall.Everyone in Daqi knew that the power of the regent was all over the world, and no one could tell which maid or eunuch in Renshou Palace was his eyeliner.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the emperor was young, and his prestige was incomparable with Qi Jingyuan.She can do some outrageous things, but the emperor can't, so as not to be caught by Qi Jingyuan.

After the people around retreated silently and the door of the palace was closed, the Queen Mother took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in her heart as much as possible.

Empress Dowager He Wan is a beauty, she is now, and she was also in the past.At first glance, the beauty is glamorous and compelling. Because she was born in the general family, there is a trace of heroism between her eyebrows. She is a very smart beauty.When she married the first emperor, the first emperor was still the prince, and she was the prince's concubine.

The first emperor's health was not very good all the time, and his ears were soft. Some things were clearly wrong, but he was coaxed by the people around him and let it go.Because of his health, although he has many concubines in the harem, it is difficult for him to have children.

The imperial physician took care of it carefully, only this was Qi Yu who was born to He Wan after a few years, Qi Yu was the only heir in the harem who survived smoothly, the others were either not kept, or they failed to grow up.

The first emperor had soft ears, but he knew people well and was good at responsibility. He was only 26 years old when he died.

The person most trusted by the former emperor was Qi Jingyuan, and on his deathbed, he entrusted Qi Yu, who still knew nothing, to Qi Jingyuan.

The Empress Dowager was only 25 years old back then, and the first emperor wanted her to be buried, but when he saw the Empress Dowager holding Qi Yu tightly and standing beside his bed, weeping silently.The beauty is like a flower, and it is poignant and heartbreaking to cry silently.

The first emperor looked at the beauty and the young child in silence for a long time, and said nothing more, and the matter of burial was over.

Thinking of the past, the Empress Dowager's expression was complicated.

She knew that the first emperor was on guard against her in the end. The first emperor was afraid that Qi Yu would be too young, so she assumed power as the empress dowager.

It would be a lie to say that the Empress Dowager has no resentment in her heart.

If the first emperor hadn't clearly ordered Sifang to designate Qi Jingyuan as the regent, the current situation of their mother and son would not be like walking on eggshells.

It's just that it's a done deal, and it's useless to think about the past.

So the Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, you can see clearly what happened just now. How arrogant and majestic the Regent is in my Renshou Palace, this is not giving you or me any sympathy."

Because the little emperor Qi Yu saw a person being beaten to death in front of his eyes, his mind was full of muffled screams, and Xie Linxi's words made him feel a little queasy, and he didn't react to the queen mother's words for a while.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were a little disappointed at his reaction, but she quickly restrained herself.

With fire and hope in her eyes, she held the little emperor's cold hands and patted them earnestly, "Qi Jingyuan didn't care about our mother and son at all. In this huge palace, his words are the imperial decree. But you Remember, you are the emperor of Daqi, even if Qi Jingyuan can cover the sky with one hand, you can't admit defeat."

The little emperor's hand was held tightly by the queen mother and felt a little painful. His body trembled, and he said in a short voice: "My son will remember the teachings of the queen mother."

The Queen Mother patted him again and said, "Your Majesty has been wronged."

The little emperor was silent for a while, then he raised his eyes to look at the queen mother and said with a little nervousness: "Queen mother, I don't feel wronged. Uncle... Uncle emperor handles government affairs very well, and my child has learned a lot from it."

"That's because he wanted to control you, he threatened the young master to rule the world." The look in the Queen Mother's eyes became sharp: "If you have such thoughts, then his goal has been achieved. This world will be his Qi Jingyuan's world in the future, Then, how will you meet your father?"

After speaking, she rubbed her chest and coughed violently.

Seeing the empress dowager was angry, the little emperor stood up and said, "My child knows I was wrong, the empress mother must not be so angry that she will break her body."

He actually wanted to say he didn't mean it that way, but like so many times, he just couldn't say it.

The queen mother waved her hand weakly, and said in a soft voice: "I know you have a kind heart, and you don't want to think bad things about people, but in this palace, kindness is the most useless thing. As the queen mother of a country, you Emperor, you can't decide even a small matter, do you want to be like this for the rest of your life? If you can't stand up, what will happen to those who stand behind you and support you?"

The little emperor continued to admit his mistake, and withdrew after the queen mother drank a dose of tranquilizing medicine.

When they left the palace gate, the bloodstains in Renshou Palace had been cleaned up, covered with various flowers and plants, there was no smell of blood at all, and it was not obvious that a person had just died.The little emperor stood there for a while, then straightened his spine and went back to Qianchen Hall.

After he left, the Empress Dowager threw the glazed teacup on the ground hard.

On that side, Xie Linxi followed Qi Jingyuan back to Jinghua Palace.

Qi Jingyuan ordered someone to call Yin Jiu, and told the story of the Empress Dowager's palace.

Yin Jiu's face turned green when he heard that, this was absolutely a disaster for him, and the Queen Mother was simply making trouble out of nothing.

He has taken in an apprentice, so does he have to control who lives with the apprentice?Besides, the maids of Renshou Palace and the inner eunuch are facing each other. It's because the Empress Dowager is incapable of disciplining them, so why did it all come down to him.

But he couldn't do such things as talking about the Empress Dowager, so he had to kneel on the ground and plead guilty, and he didn't know which aspect to blame, which seemed extremely poor in words.

Qi Jingyuan glanced at him, half-knocked his eyes as if he didn't want to speak.Seeing this scene, Xie Linxi stepped forward and said warmly: "Grandpa Jiu, this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you guilty?"

As soon as Yin Jiu heard this, his heart was set.

He wasn't apologizing, but he didn't know what to do next, and continued to kneel there with squinting eyes.

It looks a little pitiful.

Xie Linxi said seriously: "Jiu Gonggong, since the queen mother mentioned you in front of the prince, if you want to ask for a crime, you can go and ask the queen mother for it. This crime must be clearly and clearly known to everyone."

Since it was an innocent disaster, let everyone know about it, and you can also tell the Queen Mother indirectly that Qi Jingyuan's head is not something that can be easily thrown on Qi Jingyuan's head.

Yin Jiu was not really stupid, he grasped the point with a slight turn of his mind, he sneaked a glance at Qi Jingyuan, saw the prince's acquiescence, and said with a bitter face: "I understand, I will go now."

After Yin Jiu retreated, Qi Jingyuan frowned and said sadly, "Wushuang, I have a terrible headache, come here and rub it for me."

Xie Linxi's expression remained still for a moment, then she walked over and stood behind Qi Jingyuan, rubbing him gently.

Qi Jingyuan sighed comfortably: "There are not many people around me who are as smart as you, Wushuang, and it is very tiring to talk to them. Fortunately, there is you, otherwise, this king would have turned gray with worry."

Xie Linxi said silently: "I thought the prince would ignore this matter."

It's not a day or two for the Queen Mother to be a monster, but it's not so absurd in the past. Today, I almost said clearly that I just thought you Qi Jingyuan was not pleasing to the eye, so I wanted to find something to do with you even if it had nothing to do with you.

In the past, Qi Jingyuan never cared about the little emperor's face, but this time he didn't plan to show the empress dowager's face.

Qi Jingyuan smiled and said: "This king just wants the empress dowager to understand a truth. It's not that I don't know about the past, it's because I don't want to care about it. Since the empress dowager can't understand the way I used to do things, then change it." Show her. After all, if this honest person is bullied badly, he will be able to do everything he can. "

Xie Linxi looked at the top of Qi Jingyuan's head and remained silent.

Qi Jingyuan raised his hand to rub his aching brain and eyes, but this movement touched Xie Linxi's hand.

For some reason, he took advantage of the situation and held these Fanwen's hands.

Xie Linxi's body was slightly stiff, and he did not move.

Qi Jingyuan was also taken aback for a moment, then he rubbed Xie Linxi's hand and said: "I heard that you have been addicted to archery recently, and your palms are full of calluses, but are they left from practicing archery?"

Xie Linxi muffled: "Yes."

Qi Jingyuan hummed, let go of his hand, and asked, "I want to see how your archery skills are."

The tone was calm, and the actions were taken for granted, no different from usual.

Xie Linxi, who was freed, took two steps back and followed the words: "If the prince wants to see it, I am willing to make a fool of myself."

Qi Jingyuan became interested, he said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's go to the archery field for a walk, you have to let me open my eyes."

Xie Linxi naturally agreed.

Qi Jingyuan got up, changed into casual clothes, and the two went to the archery field.

Xie Linxi's archery skills are average, although he can't hit the heart every time, Qi Jingyuan watched from the side, clapping his hands and laughing.

Xie Linxi didn't think it was ugly either. No one is perfect, and his archery skills can't be called embarrassing in general.

When he picked up the bow and arrow again, Qi Jingyuan stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, this king thought he was very talented and knew everything, but he was defeated by this archery. Wushuang, your archery skills are so superb, why don't you teach Ben?" king."

After praising him against his conscience, he walked over, ready to ask Xie Linxi to teach him how to shoot arrows.

Xie Linxi naturally refused.

Qi Jingyuan frowned and said, "Wu Shuang, do you dislike my poor archery skills?"

"I don't dare, it's just that practice makes perfect when it comes to archery, and I only know superficially, I'm afraid I can't teach the prince."

Qi Jingyuan frowned, and raised his hand to touch his bow and arrow.

Xie Linxi had no choice but to draw a bow and set an arrow: "The prince will take a closer look first..."

At this moment, an inner eunuch came to report: "My lord, He Guogong and the prince of Yunnan are asking to see you."

As soon as the inner eunuch said this, Xie Linxi turned around, Qi Jingyuan moved his hand touching the bow and arrow, and Xie Linxi missed one of the bows and arrows in his hand, and the arrow with a sharp blade flew straight towards He Guogong's face door not far away.

There were exclamations from all around, and Xie Linxi inadvertently saw Qi Jingyuan's side face when she closed her eyes, and saw that the man's brows and eyes were cold, and the expression in his eyes was as strong as the arrow that shot past, full of murderous intent.
