The wife is the king of the palace

As the sun sets, the cool evening wind becomes more and more icy, and when it blows on the body, it is already a bit freezing.

For some reason this year, although autumn has just entered, the weather is already much colder than in previous years. It seems that winter will be particularly difficult.

Jin Qi was in a good mood and followed Lin Xu to the living room. After entering the living room, Jin Qi looked around. He had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in recent years, but he was the first to be invited by Lin Xu to stay for dinner. This time, it made the living room, which he was already familiar with, very pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this, the butler asked someone to bring a pot of good tea, and Lin Xu also told him that Jin Qi would stay for dinner.

After explaining to the butler, Lin Xu was about to continue the topic of flood control just now, when someone came to him outside the door, apparently from the palace.

Lin Xu went out, and the two went aside to talk.That man was indeed a guard from the palace. He came to Lin Xu because there was something wrong with the household department, so he came to Lin Xu to check.

Lin Xu previously extorted 30 taels of silver from Qiguo, and all of it was put into the treasury some time ago. The accountant Wanyu had already done the accounting, but because the money was put into the treasury, it was immediately used to renovate the post Therefore, the transfer is quite large, and the follow-up accounts are also extremely complicated.

Seeing Lin Xu going out, Jin Qi took another look at the living room, found a place to sit down by himself, poured a cup of tea and started to drink it leisurely.

Lin Xu doesn't have high material requirements, so the tea in the prime minister's mansion is just ordinary tea, at least compared to the tribute tea in the palace, it can only be regarded as ordinary.

The tea leaves are ordinary, so the taste of the brewed tea is naturally not much better. Jin Qi can even taste a faint astringency from the tea, but this did not affect his mood. On the contrary, it made him feel that the tea was extraordinarily delicious and sweet .

Jin Qizheng had a smirk on his face, seeing that Lin Xu had come back, he put down his cup and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Lin Xu came in, he didn't want to talk about the topic just now, but asked instead: "What does the emperor want to eat tonight?"

Lin Xu's question was taken for granted, but Jin Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, what do you want to eat?When did this guy Lin Xu become so kind, and he even took the initiative to ask him.

"It's up to you to decide." Jin Qi also wanted to try the dishes that Lin Xu usually eats. The dishes in the palace are rich and delicious, but it's okay to try something new once in a while, let alone this is Lin Xu's mansion Up.

"The minister asked the people in the kitchen to cook something the emperor likes to eat." Lin Xu cupped his fists and got up and walked towards the door. He asked the housekeeper outside the door to explain the matter carefully, and then went back to the room.

Back in the room, as soon as Lin Xu entered the door, he saw Jin Qiwei staring at him with his mouth open in surprise.

"how?"

"It's nothing." Jin Qi put away the surprised expression on his face, a little moved in his heart, and his mood became a little complicated.When Lin Xu got better, he was even more overwhelming.

Lin Xu also stepped forward and sat down beside Jin Qi. He took the teapot on the table and filled Jin Qi's half-empty teacup before pouring himself a cup of tea.

Jin Qi held the cup under his nose and sniffed it lightly. The tea still smelled the same as before, but it seemed to be a little different.

Jin Qi glanced at Lin Xu who was staring at him, and put the cup back on the table.

"What? The emperor doesn't like this tea. If so, then I will have someone change it immediately." Lin Xu said.

"No need, this tea is very good." Jin Qi picked up the cup on the table again, and sniffed it lightly under Lin Xu's gaze.

"As long as the emperor likes it." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi quietly.

"By the way, what do you think about the flood?" Jin Qi put down the cup again as if thinking of something.

"Let Rongchen think about this matter again." Lin Xuru replied when he was in the court hall.

Jin Qi nodded, he got up and walked out the door, "In that case, I'll go back first, I came here to ask your opinion on this matter."

"Your Majesty?" Lin Xu followed suit.

After getting up, he chased after him, "Isn't the emperor staying for dinner?"

"No need, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with in the palace." Jin Qi said.

"In that case, I will see you off." Lin Xu took a step forward to approach Jin Qi, but at the moment he approached, Jin Qi suddenly took a step aside, quickly opening the distance between the two.

Lin Xu didn't expect that he stopped in place, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve was too late to put away because of this unexpected situation.

"Prime Minister, what are you going to do?" Jin Qi's eyes turned cold.

Jin Qi took a look at Lin Xu in front of him. The person in front of him still had the handsome face and the familiar court clothes, but he was holding a cold dagger that was obviously stained with poison in his hand.

Lin Xu was a little surprised when he failed in one blow, and then immediately frowned to show some displeasure. He didn't answer Jin Qi's words, but immediately rushed forward with the dagger in his hand.

Jin Qi had been on guard for a long time, and he was already on guard the moment he realized something was wrong. Seeing the person in front of him swearing to kill him, Jin Qi picked up the stool next to him and stood in front of him.

Although Jin Qi's martial arts is not as good as Lin Xu's, he has followed Xu Lan in self-defense since elementary school. If he just delays time to avoid the dagger in his hand, he can still do it.

Lin Xu kept attacking and approaching, while Jin Qi tried his best to avoid it. The two of them dealt with each other for only one round, when two men in black came in from outside the door, they were the hidden guards beside Jin Qi.

The dark guards were always by Jin Qi's side. If it was normal, they would have already noticed something was wrong, but because Jin Qi was next to Lin Xu just now, the dark guards were far away.

Outsiders don't know the ambiguity between Jin Qi and Lin Xu, but the secret guard who has been following Jin Qi knows it all too well, and that's why, every time they get together alone, they will stay a little farther away.

When the dark guard entered the house, Jin Qi was escorted to the door. At the same time, another Lin Xu also walked in quickly.

The real Lin Xu came in from the door, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw himself in the middle of the room. At that moment, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked for Jin Qi in the room. After seeing Jin Qi standing behind the door, he left Go forward, "How are you?"

"I'm fine." Facing Lin Xu who just came in from the door, Jin Qi immediately recognized him as the real one.

Because at this moment, Lin Xu's eyes were full of gloomy darkness that could not be resolved. Lin Xu was angry, and there was no strong murderous intent or cold killing intent leaked out, but his black eyes were inexplicably frightening, and there was no light there. Like a bottomless cold pool.

At the moment when the two were talking, the other Lin Xu who was trapped in the house had already seen that something was wrong, so he stopped entanglement and moved towards the door instead, as if he was about to escape.

The hidden guards stepped forward to block them, but the opponent was defeated, and was soon surrounded by the seat at the door.

There was such a big commotion in the hall, the servants and housekeepers in the distance gathered around when they heard the commotion, and when they saw this scene, they all approached nervously.

Changing his appearance into Lin Xu's appearance, Jin Qi's suicide was not bad, but he was obviously not as good as those dark guards raised by Jin Qi, and wounds soon appeared on his body.

Because of dealing with that person, Lin Xu and Jin Qi stood aside and watched with cold faces.

Seeing the wound on the fake Lin Xu who was trapped in the middle, although Jin Qi knew that the person was a bad guy pretending to be not the real Lin Xu, but he couldn't help but pick up his heart, and his mood became more and more serious. Oops.

"Where did you go just now?" Jin Qi turned his head to look at the real Lin Xu beside him, and stopped looking there.

"Just now the guards in the palace said that there is something wrong with the household department, so let me go and have a look at it immediately." Lin Xu said.

Hearing this, Lin Xu immediately walked towards the palace, but within a short distance he realized that something was wrong. The problem was not with the guard, but with the matter itself.

When he left, Wan Yu was indeed still handling the accounts of the post station in the palace. That's right, but they had already agreed on the matter of the post station in advance, and checked it several times. Even if something went wrong, there would be no need for him to do this It's time to enter the palace immediately

big mistake.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Xu immediately stopped walking towards the palace and asked the guard who called him by his side. Sure enough, the guard was taken aback by the question, and then told Lin Xu that he did not see Wanyu with his own eyes, but that the palace A man who looked like a eunuch asked him to come and call someone.

This further confirmed the guess in Lin Xu's mind, so Lin Xu hurried back immediately, and saw the scene just now as soon as he came back.

"How did you find out that something was wrong, Your Majesty?" Lin Xu was slightly surprised that Jin Qi could also find out that something was wrong.

The other party took so much effort to trick him away, they must have been fully prepared long ago, it is impossible to send a killer who can be easily discovered.

"It's not good for him to pretend to be you. I recognized it at a glance." Jin Qi was a little annoyed when he mentioned this matter.

For a moment just now, he really thought that Lin Xu was caring for him, so he was very moved and complicated.It turned out that Lin Xu's good things were all fake, which made Jin Qi not know whether to be angry or grateful.

Lin Xu didn't speak, but the surprise in his eyes was a little more, and he looked at Jin Qi with admiration for this matter.It wasn't long before and after he left, Jin Qi found out very early this time.

Jin Qi saw the surprise and admiration in Lin Xu's eyes, and he didn't feel happy at all, but his mood became more and more complicated.

Lin Xu knows the virtues of this guy best, but he is absolutely impossible to be so kind and prepare his favorite food for him, pour tea for him, and even change tea for him. !Unless he's out of his mind.

Thinking of this, Jin Qi was funny and annoyed, "Because you are definitely not as kind-hearted as him, it would be nice if you don't make me mad! I even suspect that your stomach is full of bad things, even bleeding The blood is all black."

Lin Xu raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words. Although he didn't know what happened just now, his eyes became dangerous after hearing Jin Qi's words, "Oh, really?"

Lin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and Jin Qi's hair exploded instantly when he saw this, goose bumps all over his body, "What are you doing? I didn't say anything wrong, didn't I?"

He said, Lin Xu is definitely not that kind, how could he be so kind to him, if one day he really treats him so kindly, he will have to worry about whether this guy's head is broken!

Thinking about it this way, Jin Qi felt a little sad again, feeling that he had already been destroyed by Lin Xu before Lin Xu was destroyed, otherwise why would he think that it was only a problem that Lin Xu treated him well?

Lin Xu seemed to see what was going on in Jin Qi's mind. He took a step forward and moved closer, but this step made Jin Qi retreat three steps back in shock, and his whole body tensed up, as if he was ready to turn around and run away at any time .

Compared with the fake Lin Xu with the dagger just now, this one is obviously more terrifying now.
