Tianhuang nobleman

At night, when lying down together with Bairen in his arms, Qi Xiao was still in a dream. Today is Qixi Festival, and Bairen has been in Beijing for a year. No matter how the power changes outside this year, Qi Xiao is not surprised Surprisingly, only Bai Ren, Qi Xiao still can't react, Bai Ren actually likes him, and he is still so determined.

Looking at Bai Ren's sleeping face, Qi Xiao felt soft in his heart. Bai Ren once said that he must have done great merit in his previous life, and that he would meet him in this life, but Qi Xiao felt that this was the opposite. To get Bai Ren to fall in love so far is to exhaust all the luck of eternal life.

Qi Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's lips lightly, his heart turned a thousand times, the next year will definitely be the most uneventful year, killing Qi Jing, slaughtering party members, setting the court, An Sheji, Qi Xiao is going to do it every day. Walking on the edge of a knife, you can't be sloppy. Just now, Qi Xiao almost told Bai Ren about his plan, but in the end he couldn't bear it. In the end...he still couldn't bear to make him worry.

Qi Xiao sighed softly in his heart, that's all, wait a little longer, when the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, he will send the white blade far away, wait until he is on the throne, stand firm on this country, and then bring people back, but... ...By Bai Ren's temperament, he must be angry. Bai Ren felt something in his dream, and frowned slightly, as if he was about to wake up. Qi Xiao smiled lightly, and patted him on the back with ease. Falling asleep again, Qi Xiao chuckled lightly, it's okay, Bai Ren has a good temper, when the time comes, he will make a fuss with himself, just coax him.

Qi Xiao also lay down, wondering if it was disturbed by Bai Ren's three wishes before, Qi Xiao didn't even feel sleepy at all, his mind was full of thoughts, he didn't sleep well all night, there seemed to be noises outside during the ugly time, Qi Xiao felt a twitch in his heart. Feeling bored, he simply sat up, put on his clothes, picked up the lamp and went out, opened the door, frowned and said coldly: "What's going on? What's going on outside?!"

The big maids who were on duty at night outside the door knelt down to plead guilty. They stayed here all the time. Naturally, they didn't know what happened outside. After a girl confessed, she turned around and went out to find the old mother on the door to open the courtyard door, and sent someone to He asked what was going on outside, but before anyone could ask back, he heard the sound of the cloud panel on the second door, no more, no less, a total of four beeps.

Qi Xiao suppressed his uneasiness, and said in a deep voice, "Call Jiang Deqing."

Not long after, Jiang Deqing hurriedly walked in from the west side of the corridor through the Moon Gate while adjusting his clothes. Seeing Qi Xiao standing outside the door, he hurried up to greet him. Qi Xiao waved his hand: "Who is gone?"

Jiang Deqing's face turned pale, and he knelt down on his knees: "The news just came from outside the city that Lingnan King... Lingnan King is dead."

Qi Xiao only felt a noise in his head, the wax oil on the lamp trembled, and a little bit of red wax was hot on Qi Xiao's hand, but Qi Xiao seemed to be unconscious, Jiang Deqing also panicked in his heart, and said tremblingly: "Now... ...It is proper to arrange for the son to return to the Lingnan Palace first, and this slave will call Shunzi."

Qi Xiao stabilized his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Don't tie up my car, find an ordinary flat-top car, have someone cover it with a white cloth, and if anyone asks, it will say that it is going to the Lingnan Palace to report a funeral... Hurry up."

Jiang Deqing looked inside and said in a low voice: "My son..."

"I'll go tell the prince." Qi Xiao took a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Send someone to investigate immediately... Let Gucha find out who is looking for death!"

Jiang Deqing repeatedly agreed, turned around and left in a hurry.

Qi Xiao turned back and entered the room, Bai Ren was already awake in the inner room, Bai Ren was sitting on the bed, his face was pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Did I hear wrong? I just heard the cloud board... the cloud board rang four times... ..."

Qi Xiao walked into the room, put down the lamp, paused and said in a low voice: "That's right, Bairen..."

Qi Xiao sat next to Bai Ren, paused and said: "The King of Lingnan is dead, the news just came, you..."

Bai Ren frowned and raised his head to look at Qi Xiao, and lost his voice: "My father? Impossible..."

Qi Xiao felt a severe pain in his heart. No matter how the King of Lingnan treated Bai Ren in the past, they are father and son connected by blood. How could Bai Ren feel uncomfortable when his biological father left suddenly? I don't know, don't worry..."

Tears rolled down Bai Ren's eyes instantly, he opened his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice for a while: "He... is fine, how could..." Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao hastily like a little beast left alone, Tears kept falling, and Qi Xiao felt great pain in his heart. He held Bai Ren in his arms and coaxed softly: "Cry out loud, don't hold back... Bai Ren, it's all right, I haven't checked it out yet, I've ordered you to go down... ... You must find out the truth, Bai Ren, you can't delay now, I will continue the letter here, the palace must already know, I am afraid that the palace has sent someone to your house by now, you can't stay with me. "

In any case, Bairen can't receive the news of the death of the King of Lingnan from his own mansion, and it doesn't matter how recklessly he usually does, but at this moment, he must not let the people of Lingnan know that Bairen received the news of the death of the late king in his own bed, Qi Xiao couldn't stop kissing Bairen's forehead, feeling heavy in his heart, it was too sudden, Bairen and himself in Lingnan didn't make any arrangements, if all goes well, then Bairen will succeed to the throne soon, appeasing the hearts of the people is the first priority, if It's not going well...Qi Xiao didn't want to think about it until he received the exact news.

Bai Ren closed his eyes and nodded, tears kept streaming down his face, he got up and changed into plain clothes, turned and went out.

Qi Xiao was worried after all, so he asked someone to call Shunzi, and he called him to the front and told him word by word: "You take a group of people there, and you don't have to come back. There are mixed fish and eyes in the palace, so polish your eyes." Some, guarding the son of the world at all times, not allowing an inch to leave, if anything happens..."

Qi Xiao's voice turned cold in an instant: "It's better to kill [-] people by mistake, but don't let one go. In short, you can't let Bai Ren be half wrong, understand?"

Shunzi's heart trembled, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if something happens to your son, your subordinate will come to see you."

Qi Xiao let out a long breath, patted Shunzi on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Go, persuade him not to cry, the meal must not be neglected."

After sending people away, Qi Xiao quietly leaned against the window and lost his mind. In fact... he had thought about sending Lingnan King back to the west before.

At that time, Wen Yu hadn't had any accidents, and Kangtai's reputation was not bad. Qi Xiao was worried that the King of Lingnan would suddenly find some excuse to ask the emperor to abolish the establishment. It's better to cut through the mess quickly, without waiting for the south to move, he killed the King of Lingnan first, and let Bai Ren succeed to the throne earlier, but this was just a thought, Qi Xiao never mentioned it to anyone else.

The first thing is that Qi Xiao can't guarantee that he can do everything perfectly. If Bai Ren finds out in the future, and the revenge of killing his father comes first, it is really over for him and Bai Ren. Moreover, Qi Xiao is not sure, not sure about Lingnan King. After death, whether the successor is Bai Ren.

Qi Xiao closed his eyes, blaming himself for being so focused on the matter of administering the medicine these days, he didn't pay much attention to Nan Bian at all, he was careless for a moment... unexpectedly such a thing happened.

Now... I can only hope that the Lingnan King is really dying, not as miserable as I thought...

Jiang Deqing came back half an hour later, Qi Xiao was still standing in front of the window, and said coldly, "Did you ask clearly?"

Jiang Deqing nodded, turned around and ordered his little eunuch to go out to guard the gate, then went into the room by himself, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness...things are a little troublesome."

Qi Xiao said: "Speak."

"The people from the gambling house have withdrawn, so our news is a step late. The inside story was found by the people from the Confucius Temple..." Jiang Deqing turned pale, and said in a low voice, "The King of Lingnan really didn't die well. , I heard that on the day Lingnan King left, he discussed the summer harvest with Lingnan's Minister of Culture during the day. After leaving the mansion, many people saw Lingnan King. His expression was the same as usual. It wasn’t what the person who sent the obituary said was ‘in bed for many days’. Second, in order to inquire whether the princess is healthy or not, our people have a lot of contacts with the imperial physicians in the Lingnan Palace. After they inquired, the Lingnan King is angry today. It’s a bit more, but there is no serious illness, and there is absolutely no possibility of sudden death.”

Qi Xiao's voice was cold, and he sneered, "It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster."

"Yes." Jiang Deqing lowered his voice and tremblingly said, "Although there is no definite evidence, but... but it is said that after the accident, Concubine Xia has been stopping the Wenxiang people and not allowing them to perform an autopsy, saying that they would blaspheme the prince's body, which would delay The prince ascended to bliss early, and said that the deceased is already dead, and it is useless to find out what the disease is. Indeed, in Lingnan, outsiders are not allowed to touch the corpse. There is a saying that it will disturb the deceased. Walk steadily, but Your Highness...this is July! The autopsy has been blocked all the time, and the body will rot soon, and the autopsy will not reveal it."

Qi Xiao smiled coldly, with hostility in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Haven't you seen it, she is not afraid at all, since she dared to poison, she is already determined to put all her eggs in one basket, the King of Lingnan is dead, The concubine's natal family has no one, and she has been unable to speak. As for the Xia family, her two sons and one daughter are all by her side, and her natal family has controlled Lingnan's internal affairs for many years. Now she can do whatever she wants. Others will do an autopsy. How? Can someone manage her?"

Jiang Deqing broke out in cold sweat when he heard Qi Xiao's words, and his voice trembled: "What does your Highness mean... the Xia clan wants to help the second son to succeed? Is she crazy? The second son is no different from an eunuch now, how can he be worthy?" Throne? And without the emperor's will, without the imperial seal, how can Wen Yu succeed to the throne?!"

Qi Xiao's voice was cold: "Decree? Great seal? Hehe...they don't use these. If I'm not mistaken, now Wen Yu has reversed."

Jiang Deqing's legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground. He hissed for a while, "They... how dare they..."

"Why don't you dare?!" Qi Xiao's eyes were red, and he was extremely intimidating in the night, "Xia Shi and Wen Yu are very clear that it is impossible to succeed smoothly. If Bai Ren sits on the throne, there will be no good fruit for them, so... let's do it first."

If it wasn't for his frequent attacks, if it wasn't for him to show Wen Yu a good look, if it wasn't for him to kill them all... Xia Shi and Wen Yu would not jump the wall in a hurry, and would not rebel rashly. The colored glaze bottle fell hard to the ground!

Jiang Deqing was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Qi Xiao's leg in fear, "Your Highness, please calm down...it's okay, Xia family is a woman, Wen Yu is a son, how many people can they mobilize? It's Qing Lingnan." With all your strength, can you beat us? As long as the emperor sends tens of thousands of soldiers, they can..."

"It's not a matter of who wins!" Qi Xiao's eyes were red, and he hissed through gritted teeth, "As long as they rebel, no matter who rebels, as long as they are from Lingnan! The emperor can justifiably send troops to pacify Lingnan directly! The emperor After so many years of thinking about cutting the feudal clan, do you think he would give up this good opportunity for nothing? In the name of calming chaos, he directly took back the Lingnan Wang Xunfeng! What about Bairen... As the former prince's son, do you think the emperor Will you let him go?"

Qi Xiao took a long breath and his voice became hoarse: "Besides, the princess is still in Lingnan..."

Jiang Deqing fell to the ground slumped and said nothing.
