The wife is the king of the palace
Chapter 27 How Are You Responsible?
001.
In the sunny imperial garden, seeing Jin Qi's flushed neck gradually turning black, Xu Lan who looked at the two of them with a smile broke the silence, "What does the Prime Minister think about this matter?"
It was only last night that He Zheng committed suicide, and today there was a snake encounter in the Royal Garden. If you say that these two things have nothing to do with each other, I am afraid that no one with a little brain will believe it.
However, that group of people actually set their minds on Jin Qi, which really made Xu Lan never expect it. After all, assassinating the emperor is not a trivial matter, and no one would have guessed what will happen once it is exposed.
"Check first." Lin Xu said softly.
The matter of He Zheng has been brought to light, and it is impossible for Jin Qi to let go of the matter of the mine vein and will definitely pursue it. It is not impossible for the other party to jump the wall in a hurry.
Jin Qi looked at the hidden guard at the side, and the dark guard immediately understood, but disappeared from the sight of several people in a moment.
Lin Xu and the others returned to the pavilion before. The three of them did not make any loud noises to disturb outsiders, but discussed this matter.
The examination and approval of ore mining has always been strictly investigated by the imperial court. All three of them know who has dealt with it, and the three of them have more or less the exact number of people who participated in it.
It's just that although the three of them had doubts in their hearts, there was no real evidence, and it was impossible for them to smash and kill the ministers of the DPRK and China at will based on their suspicions.
"I'm afraid that once He Zheng dies, those people will destroy the evidence, and there will be no proof of death." Xu Lan shook her head lightly.
"Is there no other way?" Jin Qi asked.
"There are ways." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi.
Lin Xu sat in the gazebo, and the midsummer sun fell into his eyes, making his black eyes a little clear, like jade.
Being watched by Lin Xu, Jin Qi, who was still full of anger in his heart, suddenly felt a shudder down his spine. Bad premonitions crazily grew in his heart, making his scalp tingle.
"What does Prime Minister mean?" Xu Lan answered without breaking Jin Qi's full of vigilance.
"Since the other side is already jumping over the wall in a hurry, let's just use the plan." Lin Xu said.
Anyway, in the current situation, what should be worried is that they are not on the opposite side. After all, this is a matter of Wushamao and head.
"Follow the plan? The Prime Minister means to lure the snake out of the hole?" Xu Lan quickly realized.
The current target on the opposite side is Jin Qi. As long as they deploy defenses around Jin Qi and deliberately show their flaws, those people will definitely not be able to sit still.
"Yes, but this matter is a bit risky." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi.
Now that the opponent has murderous intentions, even if he does not hesitate to use such an extremely risky method that may not be successful, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, even if he knows that this matter is false, he will definitely bite the bullet.
When Jin Qi heard this, he showed such an expression, he knew that Lin Xu must have plotted against him again.
"What does the emperor think?" Lin Xu's expression remained unchanged.
Jin Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "What are you going to do?"
"I heard that there is a good summer resort in the western outskirts of the city. Although it is a bit early, there are already many tourists there." Lin Xu said.
Jin Qi was about to answer when he heard the words, when he saw the dark guard hurriedly approaching, and the people in charge of tidying up the imperial garden were all dead.
"Those people had just died when I arrived, and they should have been killed immediately after they found out that the plan had been revealed." The dark guard reported.
The people around Jin Qi in this palace are all clean, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened, and now everyone is dead, it really makes people daydream.
"Can you find out who did it?" Jin Qi asked.
"I'm afraid there will be difficulties. The opponent's hands and feet are very clean and neat. The matter of throwing poisonous snakes is also the same. Now everyone is dead, and I am afraid that there is no evidence for death."
Jin Qi waved back the dark guard, and he was already thinking in his downcast eyes.
The imperial garden is an important place in the palace, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all. The people who put the poisonous snakes are most likely the servants who are in charge of tidying up the imperial garden on weekdays, and only they can
Released when he happened to be in the Royal Garden.
But they are only the most likely, and others are not without the possibility of throwing snakes.
The eunuch who followed him, the maid in charge of serving snacks and tea in the gazebo, or someone with great martial arts skills, all of these are possible.
Since the other party immediately killed and silenced them after they found out, they are sure that they will find nothing.Or killing those who tidied up the imperial garden was nothing more than the wrong guidance of those who cast the snake, so that they could investigate in the wrong direction.
Jin Qi raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, then looked at Lin Xu again. Lin Xu must have already figured this out, so he had given up on this clue from the beginning.
"Just do as you say." Jin Qi said.
Jin Qi ordered to keep the incident of the poisonous snake in the imperial garden sealed. Fortunately, there were not many people who knew about it, so the news did not spread.
After morning court on the second day, Jin Qi changed into casual clothes and secretly left the palace, followed Lin Xu to the western outskirts of the city.
There is a mountain in the western outskirts of the city, and there is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, which is said to be very efficacious, so the incense is very strong, and there are not a few people who come here every year to pray for blessings.
The foot of the mountain is different from the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a meandering river that circles half a circle around the foot of the mountain.
The river is clear and cool, and there is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and there are many bamboo pavilions and corridors outside the bamboo forest near the river.
There are more people coming here, the locals set up small stalls nearby because of this business opportunity, and some shops rent boats to lend to tourists, and gradually this place has become a very bustling long street.
Both of them didn't bring their entourage, they just played in leisure time.
Lin Xu, who had changed into casual clothes, led Jin Qi to walk slowly along the street. The appearance of two handsome and handsome men attracted many people's attention on the road.
Jin Qi enjoyed this feeling very much, the corners of his mouth curled up on his sharp-edged face, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Unlike Jin Qi's smiling face, Lin Xu's stern face walking beside him was like a deep pool of deep eyes with only calmness and indifference, which was in stark contrast to Jin Qi.
Seeing that the people beside him seemed as happy as a child shopping, Lin Xu glanced at him sideways.
Jin Qi noticed that the smile on his face was even worse. He knew that Lin Xu had misunderstood that he was happy because he rarely came to this kind of place, which seemed naive.
He did not explain that he was happy not because he saw the dazzling array of streets, but because he was rarely able to walk side by side with the people beside him.
After shopping around the streets, Jin Qi was thinking about whether to find someone to rent a cruise ship and just have a good time, when Lin Xu, who was walking beside him, said coldly, "Someone is following."
The smile on Jin Qi's face is still there, but the playfulness in his heart has been put away, and he is also a little disappointed, such opportunities are rare.
Knowing that someone was following, Lin Xu led Jin Qi to the agreed place.Yesterday they had agreed that Lin Xu would accompany Jin Qi to guide the snake out of the cave, while Xu Lan would wait in ambush at the agreed place.
The place they agreed on was in the bamboo forest, which was also the most suitable place for ambush nearby.Jin Qi also lent some of the hidden guards, just to take down those traitors in one fell swoop.
Leaving the street, the two of them still walked at a leisurely pace. Seeing that they were approaching the bamboo forest, Lin Xu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jin Qi asked.
"We seem to be ambushed." Lin Xu said, but his face remained unchanged.
"What?" Jin Qi tried his best to imitate Lin Xu, acting as if he didn't notice anything.
"There are fighting sounds in the bamboo grove." Lin Xu glanced back and the group of people following them who had been hiding in the dark had appeared behind him, as if they were not going to hide any more.
Seeing the other party showing their fangs, Lin Xu no longer tried to hide it, and turned his head to look at those people.
"How could the plan be leaked?" Jin Qi was a little nervous.
No one has been seen in the bamboo forest. It must be that all the people Xu Lan brought to ambush were dragged away. Now all the people surrounding them are holding weapons. It is not accurate at first glance
Keep alive.
"It just means that when we were discussing the plan, there was someone on the opposite side." Lin Xu was not surprised.
Jin Qi has no time to think about this at the moment, he looked warily at the group of men in black who surrounded them, the remaining guards beside him had already rushed out, but he didn't bring many with him, and only Can resist part of it.
There were many more people on the other side than them. If Lin Xu was the only one here, it would not be difficult for him to get out, but it would not be so easy if he was to be taken away with him.
"You don't have to worry about me, if you have a chance, go first, I will find a way by myself." Jin Qi said.
Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu, his lips pursed into a decisive arc, and there was still an undeniable stubbornness in his eyes.
Fearing that Lin Xu would disagree, Jin Qi said again: "I am the emperor after all, they won't kill me so quickly."
"Sure." Lin Xu raised his eyelashes.
Jin Qi blinked, for a moment he wondered if he heard it wrong, what did this person say?
Jin Qi suspected that he didn't hear clearly, but Lin Xu took a quick step back, making room for Jin Qi to use his hands and feet.
Jin Qi, who was left alone in front of the crowd, looked at Lin Xu, and at the group of men in black who were getting closer behind him, his eyes were as big as copper bells.
It's not wrong that he didn't want Lin Xu to be troubled, but after hearing his righteous words, shouldn't Lin Xu be moved in every possible way and vow to live and die with him?Why did this person take a step back to make room?
The group of men in black who had been on guard against Lin Xu on the opposite side obviously didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. They couldn't recover from looking at each other for a while.
Jin Qi stood in front of him alone, and the men in black looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
After such a stalemate for a moment, the team headed by the man in black seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and led everyone to rush towards Jin Qi.
Jin Qi quickly resisted. Although he said that his martial arts were not as good as Lin Xu, as the emperor, he still had the ability to protect himself.
During the siege of the men in black, Jin Qi quickly grabbed a long knife and opened a bloody path among the men in black.
Those men in black really wanted to kill Jin Qi, and their moves were deadly. Jin Qi was not afraid, and the moves were also extremely fierce.
Not to mention Jin Qi, the group of men in black obviously knew Lin Xu's ability. Although some of them were allocated to deal with Jin Qi, more people looked at Lin Xu warily.
Seeing this, Lin Xu raised his hand and lightly rolled up his cuffs, the coldness in his eyes suddenly gathered, and he took a step forward under the watchful eyes of the men in black.
The man in black was frightened and was about to deal with it, but Lin Xu had suddenly appeared in front of him, and he kicked the closest person away.
Lin Xu, who was surrounded by everyone and dressed in white Shengxue, moved smoothly and gracefully, his strikes were quick, precise and ruthless, and his strikes were very heavy, almost one kick at a time, and almost none of those who were kicked out by him could get up.
The group of men in black reacted, and more people flocked to Lin Xu, but without Jin Qi who needed to protect Lin Xu, he was invincible.
But in a short time, he has knocked down half of the fifty or so men in black.
Seeing that Lin Xu was no match, the remaining men in black gathered together, their eyes showing timidity.
I don't know when there was movement in the bamboo forest, and more men in black rushed towards this side. Seeing this, Lin Xu walked towards Jin Qi under the gaze of everyone and dragged them to his side, "Let's go first."
"What about Xu Lan's side?" Jin Qi followed Lin Xu quickly and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance with a little worry. The situation on Xu Lan's side was probably worse than theirs.
"He will figure out a way by himself." Lin Xu said, looking in a direction and pulling Jin Qi to run forward quickly.
Although Xu Lan doesn't care much about the court affairs now, but he is the one who supported Jin Qi's enthronement and helped plan to usurp the throne, so how could he be easily subdued by a group of men in black?
Compared with Xu Lan, their side is more dangerous, because the opponent's goal is Jin Qi.
Lin Xu took Jin Qi and ran forward continuously, while the man in black behind him kept tight.
Not letting go, they ran into the woods at the foot of the mountain, and the man in black immediately followed.
I don't know how long he has been running like this, but when Jin Qi, who was only caring about running forward, raised his head again, the man in black behind him seemed to have disappeared.
Running wildly on a midsummer afternoon, even if they are in the woods, they will inevitably get sweaty.Jin Qi thought so, until he found that Lin Xu beside him was not even breathing.
002.
Jin Qi, who was panting heavily, was about to speak when Lin Xu on the side covered his mouth and pulled him behind a tree.
Jin Qi was taken aback by the tight fit of the two of them, and what made him even more distracted was the body temperature from Lin Xu.
Jin Qi held his breath, looked in the direction Lin Xu was paying attention to, and vaguely saw a few black figures in the distance. Although the group of men in black chased them and lost them, they still did not give up.
Seeing the man in black chasing him, Jin Qi felt uneasy, but Lin Xu led him there.
Jin Qi held him back and cast him a puzzled look, what on earth did Lin Xu want?
"Follow and have a look." Lin Xu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Jin Qi soon understood what Lin Xu meant, he wanted to track down the group of men in black instead.
If the men in black couldn't find them, they would definitely go back and report back, and then they would know who was trying to kill them.
Explaining his plan, Lin Xu was about to catch up, but Jin Qi held him back. He picked up a stone from the side and fiddled with it at the foot of the tree for a while, making a mark that was not easy to be detected.
"Leave marks along the way." Jin Qi said.When Xu Lan got out of the predicament and chased after them, it would be easy to find them if they saw the marks they left behind.
After making the mark, the two followed the group of black-clothed men around the forest for a while, and those black-clothed men finally gave up.
The leading squad leader divided the remaining people into two teams, one team went to help in the forest, the other team continued to search, and he himself went back to report.
Lin Xu and Jin Qi followed the captain, followed him away from the foot of the mountain and walked towards the capital for a long time, then stopped outside a somewhat remote residential house.
The terrain here is remote, and the houses look like they have been in disrepair for a long time, but there are traces of frequent people coming and going.
The man in black didn't come out for a long time after entering the house, Lin Xu and Jin Qi squatted outside the wall.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Jin Qi, who was sweating from the sun, couldn't help but said, "This place is quite remote."
This place is really remote, with no roads or paths. Most people would never think of building a house in this kind of place, and probably no one will live in it. It really is a good place to do bad things.
"We have to find a way to go in and have a look." Lin Xu said.
Lin Xu ran for a long time before a thin layer of sweat finally appeared on his forehead. Because of the fever, Lin Xu's skin became fairer, and his red lips were like blood.
Lin Xu looked around, and found a more secluded place, "You stay here and wait for me. If I don't come back after half a stick of incense, you can go back the same way to find Xu Lan."
"You want to go alone?" Jin Qi disagreed, this place is very likely to be the enemy's stronghold, and there may be countless masters ambushing inside.
Lin Xu looked at him with dark eyes, "The emperor wants to go with the minister?"
Jin Qi blinked his eyes, and shook his head self-consciously with his tail between his legs, "Then I'll stay on guard!"
Jin Qi always felt that if he nodded and said yes, Lin Xu might give him an 'OK' again, and then slipped him into it.There is no reason to talk to this person at all, and there is no way to figure it out.
There was a bit of disappointment in Lin Xu's eyes that made Jin Qi's hair stand on end. He walked towards the wall, found a good place, jumped lightly, and easily climbed over the wall.
Seeing Lin Xu go in, Jin Qi squatted back to the hidden corner just now, like a big dog waiting for its master, wagging its tail and squatting obediently waiting for Lin Xu to come back to lead him.
He marked all the way along the way, as long as Xu Lan can find it, it won't be long before he can find it
Here, when the time comes, you can catch them all in one go.
After finally getting a chance to catch his breath, Jin Qi was just about to take a good rest when a white streak suddenly fell from the sky in front of him.
Jin Qi looked up, only to see Lin Xu, who had just climbed into the wall, came out again for some reason.
"How?" Jin Qi asked nervously.
"Walk."
"What?" Jin Qi was at a loss.
Lin Xu had strode past him, and quickly walked towards the depths of the woods behind Jin Qi, "Hurry up."
"What..." Jin Qi was wondering, when there was a movement behind him, a large group of people turned over from the side of the wall continuously.
Lin Xu left confidently, but was discovered in the blink of an eye after entering.
Jin Qi understood what had happened, turned around and ran away, but when he turned around, he found that Lin Xu had gone far away.
"Catch them, don't let them go." More and more people were chasing after them.
Lin Xu glanced at Jin Qi who was still behind him, clicked his tongue lightly, he stepped back two steps, approached Jin Qi, picked him up and ran away.
Lin Xu is good at martial arts, and his light kung fu is even more handsome, and his speed is extremely fast.In the past, Jin Qi only heard people say it, but now that he is being carried by Lin Xu, he really understands it.The group of people following them pursued with all their strength, but they were still far behind Lin Xu, and this was still when Lin Xu led him.
Leaving the old house, the two quickly returned to the woods by the river.After getting rid of the group of people behind him, Lin Xu put Jin Qi down.
It was already mid-afternoon at this time, the sun was no longer shining on people at noon, the temperature by the river was low, and there was an occasional breeze blowing, which refreshed people's spirits.
Without the pursuers, Jin Qi raised his head and glanced at Lin Xu beside him, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, you also have today..."
Lin Xu was full of confidence when he went in before, but he didn't want to be discovered in just a moment.
At any time in the past, Lin Xu was always unhurried, unhurried, as if nothing could help him. This was the first time Jin Qi saw him in such a mess, and he was immediately spotted and ran away without saying anything. all the way.
Lin Xu was also depressed at the moment. He didn't take it lightly after he entered, and was always very cautious. As a result, his whereabouts were discovered before he could get close to the house inside, and he had to turn around and run away.
"Prime Minister, don't be sad, people make mistakes, there are always things that go wrong in life." Jin Qi smiled openly.
Lin Xu frowned slightly, and Jin Qi smiled obtrusively.
Jin Qi's black eyes deepened, his smile grew even wider, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "The big deal is that I will keep the secret for you, and never pass it on to third parties, how about it?"
Jin Qi has already decided that when he goes back to see Xu Lan later, he must tell him about this and make him happy too.Not only Xu Lan, but he also told the ministers in the court to let them relieve their anger.
"Should I go back to the bamboo forest to look for Xu Lan or go back to the palace first?" Lin Xu's cold voice was filled with confusion.
Seeing Lin Xu like this, seeing Lin Xu actually asking his opinion, Jin Qi became more and more happy, and his steps became much lighter.
"Have you seen who they are?" Jin Qi asked.
"See it clearly." Speaking of this matter, Lin Xu's tone of wonder finally eased a bit, and he didn't get nothing after all.
Seeing it with his own eyes and meeting him, Lin Xu had the evidence of what the group of people in the room who were waiting for Jin Qi's head had done, and he was not afraid that they would deny it.
Thinking about those people who made him embarrass himself, Lin Xu had already started to think about how much embezzled money he could steal back.
"Since we have seen it clearly, let's go back to the palace first, which way to go?" Jin Qi looked around, he couldn't wait to go back to the palace immediately, so that he could write this matter as an imperial edict to the world .
Lin Xu had been here before, and he quickly figured out the direction, leading Jin Qi towards the direction of the palace.
They had been fleeing in the forest before, in the opposite direction from the city gate, and they had already run a long distance, and now they had to walk a long way to go back.
Lin Xu
He kept thinking about how he was discovered, but Jin Qi followed him in a good mood, taunting him from time to time.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, Lin Xu realized that the noisy people around him had quieted down at some point.
Lin Xu looked back, and saw that Jin Qi, who was supposed to be not far from him, was two or three steps behind at some point, and was walking slowly with a pale face.
"What?" Lin Xu stepped forward and asked.
"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." Jin Qi said so, but his expression was not the same.
Walking all the way under the sun, normal people should have flushed cheeks and sweaty forehead, but Jin Qi's face was pale, even his lips were pale.
He also felt a little thirsty, and his throat was dry and sore, but there was obviously no water to drink here.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand to gently cover Jin Qi's forehead. Lin Xu's hand was cold, and Jin Qi instinctively backed away from the ice.
"Don't move." Lin Xu's cold voice rang in Jin Qi's ear.
Jin Qi stood there with his neck stiff and motionless, letting Lin Xu stroke his forehead.
Lin Xu didn't know how he did it, even though he ran and hid all the way, there was still only a thin layer of sweat on his body, and his fingers were cold.
Being gently touched by Lin Xu, Jin Qi narrowed his eyes comfortably, and his dizziness was relieved a lot.But the comfortable feeling didn't last long, and soon Lin Xu took his hand away.
Sensing Lin Xu's hand on his forehead leaving, the cold feeling gradually disappeared, Jin Qi couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.
After stroking Jin Qi's forehead, Lin Xu took Jin Qi's hand to feel for his pulse.
Probably because of his physical discomfort, Jin Qi was very obedient, obediently let him touch his forehead, and obediently raised his arm to feel his pulse.
"It seems to be suffering from heat stroke." Lin Xu had returned to his usual indifferent and elegant manner, and he was no longer puzzled or annoyed.
"No wonder." Jin Qi looked up at the sun above his head.
They set off in the morning and now it's already afternoon. During this period, they kept running without stopping to rest or drink a sip of water.
"Can you still go?"
"Yes." Jin Qi touched his stomach, he could still walk, but his stomach was rolling and uncomfortable.
"You should be able to enter the city further ahead." Lin Xu's voice was a little softer, and Jin Qi's appearance became worse and worse. Lin Xu wondered if he could last until he entered the city.
Lin Xu looked up at the sky, and roughly calculated the time needed to return to the city. He took a step forward and was about to take Jin Qi away with light work, when he saw Jin Qi bent down and retched.
Lin Xu stepped forward to help support him, and patted his back. Jin Qi retched for a moment and didn't spit out anything, but his face became paler and paler.
"Exercise more after you go back, your physique is too poor." Lin Xu helped Jin Qi to the side of the tree and asked him to sit down.
Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu with a wry smile, "It's not that my physique is too bad, but your physique is too good. Look at ordinary people who can still get angry after running outside for a few hours in summer." Don't take a breath?"
Lin Xu didn't argue with Jin Qi, he checked Jin Qi's situation and asked him to lie down by the tree, the grass was cold, Jin Qi's expression eased after he lay down, he was relieved when he saw Lin Xu's hand It reached his waist.
"What are you doing?" Jin Qi grabbed Lin Xu's hand that was holding his belt.
"Undress."
"Why take off your clothes?" Jin Qi's eyes flickered.
Because of heatstroke, there was a thin layer of water vapor in his eyes, coupled with his pale face and weak appearance, he looked so pitiful, making people have an urge to ravage.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xu's elegant lips curled up slightly, and a bit of teasing appeared in his eyes, "Heatstroke requires heat dissipation, and the situation will only get worse if you don't dissipate heat in time."
Jin Qi knew that he was misunderstood, his face flushed, "I know, you turn around, I will take off by myself."
Lin Xu didn't argue with Jin Qi, he just treated him as a patient and gave in to take care of him.
Lin Xu turned around, didn't
Not long after, there was a rustling sound of undressing, and he waited for a while until the sound stopped before turning his head.
There was only one layer of underwear left on Jin Qi's body. Seeing Lin Xu looking back at him, he straightened his clothes to cover the scars on his body.
These scars were left by him when he was a child, from the woman who was supposed to be his mother and concubine and her two sons, and it has been more than ten years now.The wound no longer hurts, but it can't go away either.
He and Xu Lan are the only people who are still alive in this matter. Jin Qi is not ready to tell Lin Xu, nor is he ready to tell him.
Although he really likes Lin Xu and has gotten close to Lin Xu a lot recently, he more or less understands that it's probably just his hot head.
003.
Perhaps it was because of heat stroke that people were a little dazed, and Jin Qi was a little absent-minded when he looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu never said he liked him. Jin Qi has not been able to come up with the answer to whether he was teasing or liking him before.
He wanted to believe that Lin Xu actually liked him, but every time he thought about it, he couldn't help overturning his doubts, because Lin Xu had such a bad personality.
Besides, deep down in his heart, he actually didn't want to think about how Lin Xu liked him.Even if you don't think about the fact that they are both men, the disparity in identities between him and Lin Xu makes this matter extremely complicated.
If Lin Xu likes him, if he is really not ruthless to him, if they can really be together, if this matter gets out in the future and outsiders find out, the world will probably be in chaos.
Needless to say, gossip and gossip pointing at the spine, and those small actions that are overt and secret will definitely not be missing.
He is the emperor, even if someone is dissatisfied with him, he dare not speak in front of him.
But Lin Xu was different. If the news got out, those people would definitely target Lin Xu, and maybe they would say that he was serving others in Israel to force him to give up the position of prime minister.
Jin Qi can not argue about other things, but he can't stand this alone.He admired Lin Xu's talent and ability very much. It would be too unfair to him to ruin his official career because of this.
More importantly, he could see that Lin Xu liked the position of prime minister. In order to secure this position, although he didn't say anything, he had made a lot of efforts secretly over the years.
What's more, he still has secrets that he hasn't told Lin Xu, maybe Lin Xu won't like him anymore if he knows that.
"Why, still not feeling well?" Lin Xu saw that Jin Qi was in a trance, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"If I'm not the emperor anymore, what do you think if there is such a day?" Jin Qi's eyes were fixed on Lin Xu's, not wanting to miss any emotion in his eyes.
"What do you think?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"It's what you think?" Jin Qi looked calm, but he didn't know that his pale face had already become paler.
"The emperor wants to abdicate for the virtuous?" Lin Xu's dark eyes could not see to the bottom.
Jin Qi was dumb, and after a while he said: "I'm just talking casually."
Lin Xu didn't take it seriously, and quickly forgot about it.
"Is it better now? If the emperor is still suffering, I have a way to quickly relieve heatstroke." Lin Xu counted the time, they have lost contact with Xu Lan for several hours, if they don't go back, Xu Lan's side It's time to hurry.
If Jin Qi disappears, it will really cause chaos in the world.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jin Qi became more energetic.It was because he was so uncomfortable that he was in a daze, so he thought so much.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand to help Jin Qi sit up, turning his back to him.
After Jin Qi sat down, he turned to look at Lin Xu, but Lin Xu pushed his head back and made him turn his back to him obediently. Jin Qi couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't move, you'll feel comfortable right away." Lin Xu said as he pressed Jin Qi's head down, making him bow his head, and then pulled his back collar back, exposing the back of his neck.
Jin Qi obeyed obediently. Feeling Lin Xu's movements, he was wondering if there was a sudden cold on his neck.
Something arrived there.
Then the next moment, there was a scream like killing a pig, startling countless birds in the forest.
"Ah!" Jin Qi screamed.
The sudden stabbing pain on the back of his neck made Jin Qi instantly understand what Lin Xu was doing. As a prince, although he suffered many injustices when he was young, it was really the first time for him to scrape for sunstroke.
It's not that he didn't suffer from heatstroke when he was young, but at that time no one cared about his life, and naturally no one was kind enough to scrape him.
After he grew up, he was already the lord of a country. A little bit of headache and brain fever can make everyone in the Tai Hospital tremble. Even heatstroke will be cured before it develops into this state.
When the summer is hot, the Shangshifu of the Tai Hospital has been taking precautions, and the number of times he suffered from heatstroke can be counted on the fingers.
"Don't move around, it will be fine soon." Lin Xu had already expected that Jin Qi would escape, so he pressed him to the ground with force.
Lin Xu subdued Jin Qi with one hand, and scraped continuously with the other hand, and soon Jin Qi's neck turned purple.
Seeing that the scars were dark in color, Lin Xu expanded the area and scraped together with the area near the back. Only in this way can the heat stroke be relieved as soon as possible.
"Help me, kill me, I don't want it anymore, it hurts to death..."
"Lin Xu, you are dead, you are dead... Woohoo, let me go..."
Jin Qi was in pain, screaming and trying to escape, but Lin Xu's strength was very strong, even if he tried to escape with all his strength, he still couldn't escape Lin Xu's confinement.
"Help me!" Jin Qi yelled more and more vigorously, as the pain was severe and he couldn't escape, as if Lin Xu was really doing something horrific to him.
Listening to Jin Qi's clear and sweet screams, Lin Xu moved in an orderly manner, and for a moment he felt that he might be quite suitable to be an executioner.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have thought about telling others about your scandal..." Jin Qi was really stunned in pain.
Lin Xu frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at the scars on his hands, and worked harder.
"If you don't scrape thoroughly, you won't get better from heatstroke. Please bear with me, Your Majesty." Lin Xu's voice was low, and his movements were slow, scraping twice more.
"I don't have heatstroke anymore, I'm already cured, let me go..."
Lin Xu turned a deaf ear.The screaming lasted for about a cup of tea before finally stopping.
Lin Xu took the copper coins, let go of Jin Qi whose voice was already hoarse, and asked quite gently, "Does the emperor feel better?"
Jin Qi lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up. He raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. The place where Lin Xu scraped was burning, and his eyes were filled with tears.
You don't need to look at Jin Qi to know that there must be a lot of red, maybe it's all bruised.
"You lunatic!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xu fiercely, because Lin Xu was actually laughing right now!
"It seems that the emperor is much better." Lin Xu stretched out his hand to pull Jin Qi to stand up.
Jin Qi got up from the ground awkwardly, and slapped Lin Xu's hand away viciously. He lightly touched the scratched place, and immediately grinned in pain.
With red eyes, he stared at Lin Xu viciously. One day, he would beat up this man until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Feel.
"I'll go back if I can go." Lin Xu took the clothes and threw them over. Seeing Jin Qi put on the clothes with a grin, he led the way happily.
Jin Qi must have been in severe pain. Although his head didn't hurt, his neck felt like pepper had been dipped in the wound. The pain was so painful that he couldn't even walk steadily.
Jin Qi took two steps forward, gasped, and tilted his head with his hips crossed, not daring to look up.
Stopping and stopping, after walking for about half an hour, the two ran into Xu Lan who was looking for with a group of people.Seeing Jin Qi, Xu Lan and others immediately greeted him.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Seeing that Jin Qi's condition was a bit strange, Xu Lan looked at Jin Qi immediately.
To Lin Xu who was on the side.
Jin Qi's sudden loss of contact made everyone startled, for fear that he would really be caught by those people and cause an accident. If something happened to Jin Qi, they would all be blamed.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Lin Xu smiled, the smile deep in his eyes showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"What do you mean don't care? Is this what you call nothing?" Jin Qi raised his head slightly, and when he moved, he felt a stabbing pain in his neck, which made him teary.
"Your Majesty?" Xu Lan was a little dizzy from the two of them, as were those who came to look for Jin Qi.
"Isn't the emperor very energetic now?" Lin Xu looked up and down Jin Qi, whose hair was blown up all over his body, and really felt that his method was quite good, compared with the sickly appearance just now
In the sunny imperial garden, seeing Jin Qi's flushed neck gradually turning black, Xu Lan who looked at the two of them with a smile broke the silence, "What does the Prime Minister think about this matter?"
It was only last night that He Zheng committed suicide, and today there was a snake encounter in the Royal Garden. If you say that these two things have nothing to do with each other, I am afraid that no one with a little brain will believe it.
However, that group of people actually set their minds on Jin Qi, which really made Xu Lan never expect it. After all, assassinating the emperor is not a trivial matter, and no one would have guessed what will happen once it is exposed.
"Check first." Lin Xu said softly.
The matter of He Zheng has been brought to light, and it is impossible for Jin Qi to let go of the matter of the mine vein and will definitely pursue it. It is not impossible for the other party to jump the wall in a hurry.
Jin Qi looked at the hidden guard at the side, and the dark guard immediately understood, but disappeared from the sight of several people in a moment.
Lin Xu and the others returned to the pavilion before. The three of them did not make any loud noises to disturb outsiders, but discussed this matter.
The examination and approval of ore mining has always been strictly investigated by the imperial court. All three of them know who has dealt with it, and the three of them have more or less the exact number of people who participated in it.
It's just that although the three of them had doubts in their hearts, there was no real evidence, and it was impossible for them to smash and kill the ministers of the DPRK and China at will based on their suspicions.
"I'm afraid that once He Zheng dies, those people will destroy the evidence, and there will be no proof of death." Xu Lan shook her head lightly.
"Is there no other way?" Jin Qi asked.
"There are ways." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi.
Lin Xu sat in the gazebo, and the midsummer sun fell into his eyes, making his black eyes a little clear, like jade.
Being watched by Lin Xu, Jin Qi, who was still full of anger in his heart, suddenly felt a shudder down his spine. Bad premonitions crazily grew in his heart, making his scalp tingle.
"What does Prime Minister mean?" Xu Lan answered without breaking Jin Qi's full of vigilance.
"Since the other side is already jumping over the wall in a hurry, let's just use the plan." Lin Xu said.
Anyway, in the current situation, what should be worried is that they are not on the opposite side. After all, this is a matter of Wushamao and head.
"Follow the plan? The Prime Minister means to lure the snake out of the hole?" Xu Lan quickly realized.
The current target on the opposite side is Jin Qi. As long as they deploy defenses around Jin Qi and deliberately show their flaws, those people will definitely not be able to sit still.
"Yes, but this matter is a bit risky." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi.
Now that the opponent has murderous intentions, even if he does not hesitate to use such an extremely risky method that may not be successful, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, even if he knows that this matter is false, he will definitely bite the bullet.
When Jin Qi heard this, he showed such an expression, he knew that Lin Xu must have plotted against him again.
"What does the emperor think?" Lin Xu's expression remained unchanged.
Jin Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "What are you going to do?"
"I heard that there is a good summer resort in the western outskirts of the city. Although it is a bit early, there are already many tourists there." Lin Xu said.
Jin Qi was about to answer when he heard the words, when he saw the dark guard hurriedly approaching, and the people in charge of tidying up the imperial garden were all dead.
"Those people had just died when I arrived, and they should have been killed immediately after they found out that the plan had been revealed." The dark guard reported.
The people around Jin Qi in this palace are all clean, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened, and now everyone is dead, it really makes people daydream.
"Can you find out who did it?" Jin Qi asked.
"I'm afraid there will be difficulties. The opponent's hands and feet are very clean and neat. The matter of throwing poisonous snakes is also the same. Now everyone is dead, and I am afraid that there is no evidence for death."
Jin Qi waved back the dark guard, and he was already thinking in his downcast eyes.
The imperial garden is an important place in the palace, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all. The people who put the poisonous snakes are most likely the servants who are in charge of tidying up the imperial garden on weekdays, and only they can
Released when he happened to be in the Royal Garden.
But they are only the most likely, and others are not without the possibility of throwing snakes.
The eunuch who followed him, the maid in charge of serving snacks and tea in the gazebo, or someone with great martial arts skills, all of these are possible.
Since the other party immediately killed and silenced them after they found out, they are sure that they will find nothing.Or killing those who tidied up the imperial garden was nothing more than the wrong guidance of those who cast the snake, so that they could investigate in the wrong direction.
Jin Qi raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, then looked at Lin Xu again. Lin Xu must have already figured this out, so he had given up on this clue from the beginning.
"Just do as you say." Jin Qi said.
Jin Qi ordered to keep the incident of the poisonous snake in the imperial garden sealed. Fortunately, there were not many people who knew about it, so the news did not spread.
After morning court on the second day, Jin Qi changed into casual clothes and secretly left the palace, followed Lin Xu to the western outskirts of the city.
There is a mountain in the western outskirts of the city, and there is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, which is said to be very efficacious, so the incense is very strong, and there are not a few people who come here every year to pray for blessings.
The foot of the mountain is different from the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a meandering river that circles half a circle around the foot of the mountain.
The river is clear and cool, and there is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and there are many bamboo pavilions and corridors outside the bamboo forest near the river.
There are more people coming here, the locals set up small stalls nearby because of this business opportunity, and some shops rent boats to lend to tourists, and gradually this place has become a very bustling long street.
Both of them didn't bring their entourage, they just played in leisure time.
Lin Xu, who had changed into casual clothes, led Jin Qi to walk slowly along the street. The appearance of two handsome and handsome men attracted many people's attention on the road.
Jin Qi enjoyed this feeling very much, the corners of his mouth curled up on his sharp-edged face, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Unlike Jin Qi's smiling face, Lin Xu's stern face walking beside him was like a deep pool of deep eyes with only calmness and indifference, which was in stark contrast to Jin Qi.
Seeing that the people beside him seemed as happy as a child shopping, Lin Xu glanced at him sideways.
Jin Qi noticed that the smile on his face was even worse. He knew that Lin Xu had misunderstood that he was happy because he rarely came to this kind of place, which seemed naive.
He did not explain that he was happy not because he saw the dazzling array of streets, but because he was rarely able to walk side by side with the people beside him.
After shopping around the streets, Jin Qi was thinking about whether to find someone to rent a cruise ship and just have a good time, when Lin Xu, who was walking beside him, said coldly, "Someone is following."
The smile on Jin Qi's face is still there, but the playfulness in his heart has been put away, and he is also a little disappointed, such opportunities are rare.
Knowing that someone was following, Lin Xu led Jin Qi to the agreed place.Yesterday they had agreed that Lin Xu would accompany Jin Qi to guide the snake out of the cave, while Xu Lan would wait in ambush at the agreed place.
The place they agreed on was in the bamboo forest, which was also the most suitable place for ambush nearby.Jin Qi also lent some of the hidden guards, just to take down those traitors in one fell swoop.
Leaving the street, the two of them still walked at a leisurely pace. Seeing that they were approaching the bamboo forest, Lin Xu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jin Qi asked.
"We seem to be ambushed." Lin Xu said, but his face remained unchanged.
"What?" Jin Qi tried his best to imitate Lin Xu, acting as if he didn't notice anything.
"There are fighting sounds in the bamboo grove." Lin Xu glanced back and the group of people following them who had been hiding in the dark had appeared behind him, as if they were not going to hide any more.
Seeing the other party showing their fangs, Lin Xu no longer tried to hide it, and turned his head to look at those people.
"How could the plan be leaked?" Jin Qi was a little nervous.
No one has been seen in the bamboo forest. It must be that all the people Xu Lan brought to ambush were dragged away. Now all the people surrounding them are holding weapons. It is not accurate at first glance
Keep alive.
"It just means that when we were discussing the plan, there was someone on the opposite side." Lin Xu was not surprised.
Jin Qi has no time to think about this at the moment, he looked warily at the group of men in black who surrounded them, the remaining guards beside him had already rushed out, but he didn't bring many with him, and only Can resist part of it.
There were many more people on the other side than them. If Lin Xu was the only one here, it would not be difficult for him to get out, but it would not be so easy if he was to be taken away with him.
"You don't have to worry about me, if you have a chance, go first, I will find a way by myself." Jin Qi said.
Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu, his lips pursed into a decisive arc, and there was still an undeniable stubbornness in his eyes.
Fearing that Lin Xu would disagree, Jin Qi said again: "I am the emperor after all, they won't kill me so quickly."
"Sure." Lin Xu raised his eyelashes.
Jin Qi blinked, for a moment he wondered if he heard it wrong, what did this person say?
Jin Qi suspected that he didn't hear clearly, but Lin Xu took a quick step back, making room for Jin Qi to use his hands and feet.
Jin Qi, who was left alone in front of the crowd, looked at Lin Xu, and at the group of men in black who were getting closer behind him, his eyes were as big as copper bells.
It's not wrong that he didn't want Lin Xu to be troubled, but after hearing his righteous words, shouldn't Lin Xu be moved in every possible way and vow to live and die with him?Why did this person take a step back to make room?
The group of men in black who had been on guard against Lin Xu on the opposite side obviously didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. They couldn't recover from looking at each other for a while.
Jin Qi stood in front of him alone, and the men in black looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
After such a stalemate for a moment, the team headed by the man in black seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and led everyone to rush towards Jin Qi.
Jin Qi quickly resisted. Although he said that his martial arts were not as good as Lin Xu, as the emperor, he still had the ability to protect himself.
During the siege of the men in black, Jin Qi quickly grabbed a long knife and opened a bloody path among the men in black.
Those men in black really wanted to kill Jin Qi, and their moves were deadly. Jin Qi was not afraid, and the moves were also extremely fierce.
Not to mention Jin Qi, the group of men in black obviously knew Lin Xu's ability. Although some of them were allocated to deal with Jin Qi, more people looked at Lin Xu warily.
Seeing this, Lin Xu raised his hand and lightly rolled up his cuffs, the coldness in his eyes suddenly gathered, and he took a step forward under the watchful eyes of the men in black.
The man in black was frightened and was about to deal with it, but Lin Xu had suddenly appeared in front of him, and he kicked the closest person away.
Lin Xu, who was surrounded by everyone and dressed in white Shengxue, moved smoothly and gracefully, his strikes were quick, precise and ruthless, and his strikes were very heavy, almost one kick at a time, and almost none of those who were kicked out by him could get up.
The group of men in black reacted, and more people flocked to Lin Xu, but without Jin Qi who needed to protect Lin Xu, he was invincible.
But in a short time, he has knocked down half of the fifty or so men in black.
Seeing that Lin Xu was no match, the remaining men in black gathered together, their eyes showing timidity.
I don't know when there was movement in the bamboo forest, and more men in black rushed towards this side. Seeing this, Lin Xu walked towards Jin Qi under the gaze of everyone and dragged them to his side, "Let's go first."
"What about Xu Lan's side?" Jin Qi followed Lin Xu quickly and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance with a little worry. The situation on Xu Lan's side was probably worse than theirs.
"He will figure out a way by himself." Lin Xu said, looking in a direction and pulling Jin Qi to run forward quickly.
Although Xu Lan doesn't care much about the court affairs now, but he is the one who supported Jin Qi's enthronement and helped plan to usurp the throne, so how could he be easily subdued by a group of men in black?
Compared with Xu Lan, their side is more dangerous, because the opponent's goal is Jin Qi.
Lin Xu took Jin Qi and ran forward continuously, while the man in black behind him kept tight.
Not letting go, they ran into the woods at the foot of the mountain, and the man in black immediately followed.
I don't know how long he has been running like this, but when Jin Qi, who was only caring about running forward, raised his head again, the man in black behind him seemed to have disappeared.
Running wildly on a midsummer afternoon, even if they are in the woods, they will inevitably get sweaty.Jin Qi thought so, until he found that Lin Xu beside him was not even breathing.
002.
Jin Qi, who was panting heavily, was about to speak when Lin Xu on the side covered his mouth and pulled him behind a tree.
Jin Qi was taken aback by the tight fit of the two of them, and what made him even more distracted was the body temperature from Lin Xu.
Jin Qi held his breath, looked in the direction Lin Xu was paying attention to, and vaguely saw a few black figures in the distance. Although the group of men in black chased them and lost them, they still did not give up.
Seeing the man in black chasing him, Jin Qi felt uneasy, but Lin Xu led him there.
Jin Qi held him back and cast him a puzzled look, what on earth did Lin Xu want?
"Follow and have a look." Lin Xu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Jin Qi soon understood what Lin Xu meant, he wanted to track down the group of men in black instead.
If the men in black couldn't find them, they would definitely go back and report back, and then they would know who was trying to kill them.
Explaining his plan, Lin Xu was about to catch up, but Jin Qi held him back. He picked up a stone from the side and fiddled with it at the foot of the tree for a while, making a mark that was not easy to be detected.
"Leave marks along the way." Jin Qi said.When Xu Lan got out of the predicament and chased after them, it would be easy to find them if they saw the marks they left behind.
After making the mark, the two followed the group of black-clothed men around the forest for a while, and those black-clothed men finally gave up.
The leading squad leader divided the remaining people into two teams, one team went to help in the forest, the other team continued to search, and he himself went back to report.
Lin Xu and Jin Qi followed the captain, followed him away from the foot of the mountain and walked towards the capital for a long time, then stopped outside a somewhat remote residential house.
The terrain here is remote, and the houses look like they have been in disrepair for a long time, but there are traces of frequent people coming and going.
The man in black didn't come out for a long time after entering the house, Lin Xu and Jin Qi squatted outside the wall.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Jin Qi, who was sweating from the sun, couldn't help but said, "This place is quite remote."
This place is really remote, with no roads or paths. Most people would never think of building a house in this kind of place, and probably no one will live in it. It really is a good place to do bad things.
"We have to find a way to go in and have a look." Lin Xu said.
Lin Xu ran for a long time before a thin layer of sweat finally appeared on his forehead. Because of the fever, Lin Xu's skin became fairer, and his red lips were like blood.
Lin Xu looked around, and found a more secluded place, "You stay here and wait for me. If I don't come back after half a stick of incense, you can go back the same way to find Xu Lan."
"You want to go alone?" Jin Qi disagreed, this place is very likely to be the enemy's stronghold, and there may be countless masters ambushing inside.
Lin Xu looked at him with dark eyes, "The emperor wants to go with the minister?"
Jin Qi blinked his eyes, and shook his head self-consciously with his tail between his legs, "Then I'll stay on guard!"
Jin Qi always felt that if he nodded and said yes, Lin Xu might give him an 'OK' again, and then slipped him into it.There is no reason to talk to this person at all, and there is no way to figure it out.
There was a bit of disappointment in Lin Xu's eyes that made Jin Qi's hair stand on end. He walked towards the wall, found a good place, jumped lightly, and easily climbed over the wall.
Seeing Lin Xu go in, Jin Qi squatted back to the hidden corner just now, like a big dog waiting for its master, wagging its tail and squatting obediently waiting for Lin Xu to come back to lead him.
He marked all the way along the way, as long as Xu Lan can find it, it won't be long before he can find it
Here, when the time comes, you can catch them all in one go.
After finally getting a chance to catch his breath, Jin Qi was just about to take a good rest when a white streak suddenly fell from the sky in front of him.
Jin Qi looked up, only to see Lin Xu, who had just climbed into the wall, came out again for some reason.
"How?" Jin Qi asked nervously.
"Walk."
"What?" Jin Qi was at a loss.
Lin Xu had strode past him, and quickly walked towards the depths of the woods behind Jin Qi, "Hurry up."
"What..." Jin Qi was wondering, when there was a movement behind him, a large group of people turned over from the side of the wall continuously.
Lin Xu left confidently, but was discovered in the blink of an eye after entering.
Jin Qi understood what had happened, turned around and ran away, but when he turned around, he found that Lin Xu had gone far away.
"Catch them, don't let them go." More and more people were chasing after them.
Lin Xu glanced at Jin Qi who was still behind him, clicked his tongue lightly, he stepped back two steps, approached Jin Qi, picked him up and ran away.
Lin Xu is good at martial arts, and his light kung fu is even more handsome, and his speed is extremely fast.In the past, Jin Qi only heard people say it, but now that he is being carried by Lin Xu, he really understands it.The group of people following them pursued with all their strength, but they were still far behind Lin Xu, and this was still when Lin Xu led him.
Leaving the old house, the two quickly returned to the woods by the river.After getting rid of the group of people behind him, Lin Xu put Jin Qi down.
It was already mid-afternoon at this time, the sun was no longer shining on people at noon, the temperature by the river was low, and there was an occasional breeze blowing, which refreshed people's spirits.
Without the pursuers, Jin Qi raised his head and glanced at Lin Xu beside him, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, you also have today..."
Lin Xu was full of confidence when he went in before, but he didn't want to be discovered in just a moment.
At any time in the past, Lin Xu was always unhurried, unhurried, as if nothing could help him. This was the first time Jin Qi saw him in such a mess, and he was immediately spotted and ran away without saying anything. all the way.
Lin Xu was also depressed at the moment. He didn't take it lightly after he entered, and was always very cautious. As a result, his whereabouts were discovered before he could get close to the house inside, and he had to turn around and run away.
"Prime Minister, don't be sad, people make mistakes, there are always things that go wrong in life." Jin Qi smiled openly.
Lin Xu frowned slightly, and Jin Qi smiled obtrusively.
Jin Qi's black eyes deepened, his smile grew even wider, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "The big deal is that I will keep the secret for you, and never pass it on to third parties, how about it?"
Jin Qi has already decided that when he goes back to see Xu Lan later, he must tell him about this and make him happy too.Not only Xu Lan, but he also told the ministers in the court to let them relieve their anger.
"Should I go back to the bamboo forest to look for Xu Lan or go back to the palace first?" Lin Xu's cold voice was filled with confusion.
Seeing Lin Xu like this, seeing Lin Xu actually asking his opinion, Jin Qi became more and more happy, and his steps became much lighter.
"Have you seen who they are?" Jin Qi asked.
"See it clearly." Speaking of this matter, Lin Xu's tone of wonder finally eased a bit, and he didn't get nothing after all.
Seeing it with his own eyes and meeting him, Lin Xu had the evidence of what the group of people in the room who were waiting for Jin Qi's head had done, and he was not afraid that they would deny it.
Thinking about those people who made him embarrass himself, Lin Xu had already started to think about how much embezzled money he could steal back.
"Since we have seen it clearly, let's go back to the palace first, which way to go?" Jin Qi looked around, he couldn't wait to go back to the palace immediately, so that he could write this matter as an imperial edict to the world .
Lin Xu had been here before, and he quickly figured out the direction, leading Jin Qi towards the direction of the palace.
They had been fleeing in the forest before, in the opposite direction from the city gate, and they had already run a long distance, and now they had to walk a long way to go back.
Lin Xu
He kept thinking about how he was discovered, but Jin Qi followed him in a good mood, taunting him from time to time.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, Lin Xu realized that the noisy people around him had quieted down at some point.
Lin Xu looked back, and saw that Jin Qi, who was supposed to be not far from him, was two or three steps behind at some point, and was walking slowly with a pale face.
"What?" Lin Xu stepped forward and asked.
"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." Jin Qi said so, but his expression was not the same.
Walking all the way under the sun, normal people should have flushed cheeks and sweaty forehead, but Jin Qi's face was pale, even his lips were pale.
He also felt a little thirsty, and his throat was dry and sore, but there was obviously no water to drink here.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand to gently cover Jin Qi's forehead. Lin Xu's hand was cold, and Jin Qi instinctively backed away from the ice.
"Don't move." Lin Xu's cold voice rang in Jin Qi's ear.
Jin Qi stood there with his neck stiff and motionless, letting Lin Xu stroke his forehead.
Lin Xu didn't know how he did it, even though he ran and hid all the way, there was still only a thin layer of sweat on his body, and his fingers were cold.
Being gently touched by Lin Xu, Jin Qi narrowed his eyes comfortably, and his dizziness was relieved a lot.But the comfortable feeling didn't last long, and soon Lin Xu took his hand away.
Sensing Lin Xu's hand on his forehead leaving, the cold feeling gradually disappeared, Jin Qi couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.
After stroking Jin Qi's forehead, Lin Xu took Jin Qi's hand to feel for his pulse.
Probably because of his physical discomfort, Jin Qi was very obedient, obediently let him touch his forehead, and obediently raised his arm to feel his pulse.
"It seems to be suffering from heat stroke." Lin Xu had returned to his usual indifferent and elegant manner, and he was no longer puzzled or annoyed.
"No wonder." Jin Qi looked up at the sun above his head.
They set off in the morning and now it's already afternoon. During this period, they kept running without stopping to rest or drink a sip of water.
"Can you still go?"
"Yes." Jin Qi touched his stomach, he could still walk, but his stomach was rolling and uncomfortable.
"You should be able to enter the city further ahead." Lin Xu's voice was a little softer, and Jin Qi's appearance became worse and worse. Lin Xu wondered if he could last until he entered the city.
Lin Xu looked up at the sky, and roughly calculated the time needed to return to the city. He took a step forward and was about to take Jin Qi away with light work, when he saw Jin Qi bent down and retched.
Lin Xu stepped forward to help support him, and patted his back. Jin Qi retched for a moment and didn't spit out anything, but his face became paler and paler.
"Exercise more after you go back, your physique is too poor." Lin Xu helped Jin Qi to the side of the tree and asked him to sit down.
Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu with a wry smile, "It's not that my physique is too bad, but your physique is too good. Look at ordinary people who can still get angry after running outside for a few hours in summer." Don't take a breath?"
Lin Xu didn't argue with Jin Qi, he checked Jin Qi's situation and asked him to lie down by the tree, the grass was cold, Jin Qi's expression eased after he lay down, he was relieved when he saw Lin Xu's hand It reached his waist.
"What are you doing?" Jin Qi grabbed Lin Xu's hand that was holding his belt.
"Undress."
"Why take off your clothes?" Jin Qi's eyes flickered.
Because of heatstroke, there was a thin layer of water vapor in his eyes, coupled with his pale face and weak appearance, he looked so pitiful, making people have an urge to ravage.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xu's elegant lips curled up slightly, and a bit of teasing appeared in his eyes, "Heatstroke requires heat dissipation, and the situation will only get worse if you don't dissipate heat in time."
Jin Qi knew that he was misunderstood, his face flushed, "I know, you turn around, I will take off by myself."
Lin Xu didn't argue with Jin Qi, he just treated him as a patient and gave in to take care of him.
Lin Xu turned around, didn't
Not long after, there was a rustling sound of undressing, and he waited for a while until the sound stopped before turning his head.
There was only one layer of underwear left on Jin Qi's body. Seeing Lin Xu looking back at him, he straightened his clothes to cover the scars on his body.
These scars were left by him when he was a child, from the woman who was supposed to be his mother and concubine and her two sons, and it has been more than ten years now.The wound no longer hurts, but it can't go away either.
He and Xu Lan are the only people who are still alive in this matter. Jin Qi is not ready to tell Lin Xu, nor is he ready to tell him.
Although he really likes Lin Xu and has gotten close to Lin Xu a lot recently, he more or less understands that it's probably just his hot head.
003.
Perhaps it was because of heat stroke that people were a little dazed, and Jin Qi was a little absent-minded when he looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu never said he liked him. Jin Qi has not been able to come up with the answer to whether he was teasing or liking him before.
He wanted to believe that Lin Xu actually liked him, but every time he thought about it, he couldn't help overturning his doubts, because Lin Xu had such a bad personality.
Besides, deep down in his heart, he actually didn't want to think about how Lin Xu liked him.Even if you don't think about the fact that they are both men, the disparity in identities between him and Lin Xu makes this matter extremely complicated.
If Lin Xu likes him, if he is really not ruthless to him, if they can really be together, if this matter gets out in the future and outsiders find out, the world will probably be in chaos.
Needless to say, gossip and gossip pointing at the spine, and those small actions that are overt and secret will definitely not be missing.
He is the emperor, even if someone is dissatisfied with him, he dare not speak in front of him.
But Lin Xu was different. If the news got out, those people would definitely target Lin Xu, and maybe they would say that he was serving others in Israel to force him to give up the position of prime minister.
Jin Qi can not argue about other things, but he can't stand this alone.He admired Lin Xu's talent and ability very much. It would be too unfair to him to ruin his official career because of this.
More importantly, he could see that Lin Xu liked the position of prime minister. In order to secure this position, although he didn't say anything, he had made a lot of efforts secretly over the years.
What's more, he still has secrets that he hasn't told Lin Xu, maybe Lin Xu won't like him anymore if he knows that.
"Why, still not feeling well?" Lin Xu saw that Jin Qi was in a trance, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"If I'm not the emperor anymore, what do you think if there is such a day?" Jin Qi's eyes were fixed on Lin Xu's, not wanting to miss any emotion in his eyes.
"What do you think?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"It's what you think?" Jin Qi looked calm, but he didn't know that his pale face had already become paler.
"The emperor wants to abdicate for the virtuous?" Lin Xu's dark eyes could not see to the bottom.
Jin Qi was dumb, and after a while he said: "I'm just talking casually."
Lin Xu didn't take it seriously, and quickly forgot about it.
"Is it better now? If the emperor is still suffering, I have a way to quickly relieve heatstroke." Lin Xu counted the time, they have lost contact with Xu Lan for several hours, if they don't go back, Xu Lan's side It's time to hurry.
If Jin Qi disappears, it will really cause chaos in the world.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Jin Qi became more energetic.It was because he was so uncomfortable that he was in a daze, so he thought so much.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand to help Jin Qi sit up, turning his back to him.
After Jin Qi sat down, he turned to look at Lin Xu, but Lin Xu pushed his head back and made him turn his back to him obediently. Jin Qi couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't move, you'll feel comfortable right away." Lin Xu said as he pressed Jin Qi's head down, making him bow his head, and then pulled his back collar back, exposing the back of his neck.
Jin Qi obeyed obediently. Feeling Lin Xu's movements, he was wondering if there was a sudden cold on his neck.
Something arrived there.
Then the next moment, there was a scream like killing a pig, startling countless birds in the forest.
"Ah!" Jin Qi screamed.
The sudden stabbing pain on the back of his neck made Jin Qi instantly understand what Lin Xu was doing. As a prince, although he suffered many injustices when he was young, it was really the first time for him to scrape for sunstroke.
It's not that he didn't suffer from heatstroke when he was young, but at that time no one cared about his life, and naturally no one was kind enough to scrape him.
After he grew up, he was already the lord of a country. A little bit of headache and brain fever can make everyone in the Tai Hospital tremble. Even heatstroke will be cured before it develops into this state.
When the summer is hot, the Shangshifu of the Tai Hospital has been taking precautions, and the number of times he suffered from heatstroke can be counted on the fingers.
"Don't move around, it will be fine soon." Lin Xu had already expected that Jin Qi would escape, so he pressed him to the ground with force.
Lin Xu subdued Jin Qi with one hand, and scraped continuously with the other hand, and soon Jin Qi's neck turned purple.
Seeing that the scars were dark in color, Lin Xu expanded the area and scraped together with the area near the back. Only in this way can the heat stroke be relieved as soon as possible.
"Help me, kill me, I don't want it anymore, it hurts to death..."
"Lin Xu, you are dead, you are dead... Woohoo, let me go..."
Jin Qi was in pain, screaming and trying to escape, but Lin Xu's strength was very strong, even if he tried to escape with all his strength, he still couldn't escape Lin Xu's confinement.
"Help me!" Jin Qi yelled more and more vigorously, as the pain was severe and he couldn't escape, as if Lin Xu was really doing something horrific to him.
Listening to Jin Qi's clear and sweet screams, Lin Xu moved in an orderly manner, and for a moment he felt that he might be quite suitable to be an executioner.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have thought about telling others about your scandal..." Jin Qi was really stunned in pain.
Lin Xu frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at the scars on his hands, and worked harder.
"If you don't scrape thoroughly, you won't get better from heatstroke. Please bear with me, Your Majesty." Lin Xu's voice was low, and his movements were slow, scraping twice more.
"I don't have heatstroke anymore, I'm already cured, let me go..."
Lin Xu turned a deaf ear.The screaming lasted for about a cup of tea before finally stopping.
Lin Xu took the copper coins, let go of Jin Qi whose voice was already hoarse, and asked quite gently, "Does the emperor feel better?"
Jin Qi lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up. He raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. The place where Lin Xu scraped was burning, and his eyes were filled with tears.
You don't need to look at Jin Qi to know that there must be a lot of red, maybe it's all bruised.
"You lunatic!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xu fiercely, because Lin Xu was actually laughing right now!
"It seems that the emperor is much better." Lin Xu stretched out his hand to pull Jin Qi to stand up.
Jin Qi got up from the ground awkwardly, and slapped Lin Xu's hand away viciously. He lightly touched the scratched place, and immediately grinned in pain.
With red eyes, he stared at Lin Xu viciously. One day, he would beat up this man until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Feel.
"I'll go back if I can go." Lin Xu took the clothes and threw them over. Seeing Jin Qi put on the clothes with a grin, he led the way happily.
Jin Qi must have been in severe pain. Although his head didn't hurt, his neck felt like pepper had been dipped in the wound. The pain was so painful that he couldn't even walk steadily.
Jin Qi took two steps forward, gasped, and tilted his head with his hips crossed, not daring to look up.
Stopping and stopping, after walking for about half an hour, the two ran into Xu Lan who was looking for with a group of people.Seeing Jin Qi, Xu Lan and others immediately greeted him.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Seeing that Jin Qi's condition was a bit strange, Xu Lan looked at Jin Qi immediately.
To Lin Xu who was on the side.
Jin Qi's sudden loss of contact made everyone startled, for fear that he would really be caught by those people and cause an accident. If something happened to Jin Qi, they would all be blamed.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Lin Xu smiled, the smile deep in his eyes showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"What do you mean don't care? Is this what you call nothing?" Jin Qi raised his head slightly, and when he moved, he felt a stabbing pain in his neck, which made him teary.
"Your Majesty?" Xu Lan was a little dizzy from the two of them, as were those who came to look for Jin Qi.
"Isn't the emperor very energetic now?" Lin Xu looked up and down Jin Qi, whose hair was blown up all over his body, and really felt that his method was quite good, compared with the sickly appearance just now
