Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

I saw that the furnishings in this room were unfamiliar, so I asked her where it was.

The palace maid said: "Back to your lord, this is the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace. Your lord has been resting here for the past two days."

Oh oh oh it turns out to be the side hall, Ling Hengyuan should be here soon. but……

Me: "I slept for a few days."

Palace Maid: "Two days."

Me: "..." It's over. How should Qin Che explain it? I'm afraid the entire General's Mansion will have to be turned upside down by him.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Ling Hengyuan came. Seeing that I was awake, he asked me, "Does it hurt?"

Otherwise, why don't you give it a try?

I smiled and said, "Of course it hurts."

Ling Hengyuan scolded her without any warning: "Who asked you to rush up? I'm really surprised that Liu Zaixi, a stranger I don't know, let you risk your life to save her. Should I say you are brave or brainless?"

I said: "It's not for her, it's for His Majesty..."

Ling Hengyuan interrupted me in a cold voice: "I am cruel to begin with, and I am just as good as this. Their whole family deserves to die."

I coughed: "They didn't do anything harmful to nature, so they wouldn't have lost their lives."

Ling Hengyuan: "Oh, what kind of good thing do you think the guy who made his daughter surrender to him is? What kind of person do you think he is who wants to climb a high branch and become a phoenix overnight? With a weak and incompetent person, your daughter will be betrayed by her father-in-law, but... Who is the person who did not stop them? The whole family seems to be sanctimonious, but inside they are already evil-minded and want to kill them in exchange for a piece of pure land."

I was still a little shocked when I heard his evaluation of that family. Although what he said is reasonable, this view is indeed a bit extreme.

I thought in my heart, it seems that I have to read the fragment to know why Ling Hengyuan had such a big reaction.

I said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Ling Hengyuan: "Next time if you really insist on seeking death, don't get in my way in front of me."

I said: "There won't be a next time." It hurt too much, not to mention that I was still lying down for fear of touching the wound.

Ling Hengyuan saw my ferocious expression and said, "I really don't know what you think. Is a stranger more important than your own life?"

I said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Wei Chen suffered only flesh and blood wounds, and what she is about to pay is her life. It's not that Wei Chen is kind, but that more things are worse than less things. Your Majesty can deal with them at any time, But definitely not that time.”

Ling Hengyuan looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "That's all. They are all placed in the palace. You can do whatever you want with them in the future. I don't want to see them. I feel extremely disgusted every time I look at them."

I said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ling Hengyuan then thought of something and continued: "You need to rest for the past two days. I have stopped them. Let's see you one by one when you recover from your injuries."

After a while of reflecting on who "they" were, I'm afraid Qin Che and the Prime Minister had already panicked. Ling Hengyuan's behavior is actually in line with my wishes. Anyway, I'm in a hurry, so it won't take more than a minute and a half.

When no one was around, I opened the system panel.

"drop! The virtual story scene has been entered for the host! 』

The scene in front of me should be the Qinzheng Hall, but the person sitting at the head of the case is the late emperor. I was lucky enough to meet him during Qin Che's story line. The late emperor is still relatively young. He is having a drink and chatting with an official, and he is very happy.

The late emperor: "In this huge harem, there is no one who understands me."

Official: "The Queen is so gentle and virtuous, so how could she not know what Your Majesty is thinking?"

The late emperor shook his head and continued to raise his glass to relieve his sorrow. After drinking a glass, he said: "I had known that my dear wife had a rare wife. She was of outstanding appearance, and could be the most beautiful woman in the country. Her temperament was also first-class gentle and lovely. Let me see. The way Aiqing looks like this means you know the rumors are true."

I was dumbfounded when I heard this. Did the late emperor drink too much? Such explicit words are all it takes to directly say that he likes the other person's wife.

The official understood this and was not surprised at all, and immediately echoed: "The humble wife is not as expressive as the rumors say, but if she is the empress of the harem..."

After hearing this, the late emperor laughed heartily: "I really love you and know your interests. Come, come, come, please. I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight."

The picture flipped over, and in front of him was a familiar woman, with hibiscus blooming from the water, and a beautiful woman in the autumn water. Her eyes were very captivating.

This is what Ling Hengyuan's mother looked like when she was young. A closer look shows that there are many similarities between the two. It seems that Ling Hengyuan's good looks were inherited from his mother.

The official and the woman sat opposite each other, with unbearable expressions on their faces: "Mien'er, it's not that you didn't stop me because of your husband, but that you tried your best to stop me because of your husband. You are really incompetent!"

The eyes of the woman called Mian'er were slightly red, as if she was struggling in her heart and had to recognize the reality: "Since it is for the entire inner palace and for my husband, then Mian'er can only serve you with sex."

I was shocked that a woman actually did this, and the purpose was just for her own career... I felt sick inside and turned pale.

Thinking that Ling Hengyuan had such a big reaction to those three people, I was not surprised. He must have known that his mother had experienced this kind of thing when she was young.

The picture flipped again, it was the familiar harem. The late emperor came to Mian'er Palace almost every day to play and sing every night. Mian'er was miserable. As for that official, things started going smoothly in the officialdom, and he only said to the outside world that his wife was seriously ill and died unexpectedly.

Everyone felt sorry for him. And the story that the Holy Emperor favored a maid in the palace gradually spread. Everyone was saying that this palace maid had a good life, and she was actually spotted by the Holy Emperor. At the cusp of the storm, Mian'er was inevitably suppressed by high-ranking concubines, and her life was miserable.

But she didn't complain and still had hope for life.

"drop! Fragment reading completed! 』

I froze on the bed, feeling upset when I thought that the three people placed in the palace still wanted me to deal with them. I directly called the palace maid to move the three of them to Dali Temple, and gave them the following criminal names for others to judge.

After Ling Hengyuan found out, he asked me why I did this.

I said: "Your Majesty is right. Keeping it in the palace might stain His Majesty's eyes, so I will hand it over to Dali Temple. The people below will definitely give a fair trial."

Ling Hengyuan looked at me seriously, his brown eyes seemed to overlap with that of the woman named Mian'er, and said, "Then do you regret blocking that sword?"

Options appear:

"not regret"

"regret"

I chose the first one.

I said: "I have never regretted it."

I was served delicious food and drinks every day in the palace, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated me. The injury healed quickly, leaving only a somewhat hideous scar.

When the imperial doctor said it was okay to go out and walk around, I immediately went to see Qin Che. What a joke, if I don’t see him again, I think he’s going to go berserk again.

When Qin Che saw me coming back, he ignored me, turned his head to the side, and said sincerely: "Ah Ji still knows to come back?"

I coaxed him: "These days, what I miss most is Archer."

Qin Che suddenly said excitedly: "Then why am I willing to risk my life for someone who has nothing to do with me? How can I not worry if I am like this?"

It seems that Ling Hengyuan told Qin Che the whole story in order to appease Qin Che. I said, "Everything happens for a reason. Isn't it okay now?"

Qin Che: "You know, these days I really want to kidnap Aji back and keep him by my side. He can't go anywhere. This time I am blocking the sword for an unrelated person. What about next time? Should I take the risk?" Did he die?"

I was caught off guard by Qin Che's sudden hug, but he hugged me lightly, as if he was afraid of touching my wounds. I hugged him back and patted his back to comfort him: "There will be no next time, there won't be a next time."

If there is another time, I'm afraid I will die from the pain.

Qin Che murmured in a low voice, and it took me a long time to hear clearly what he was saying: "I don't want to lose anymore..."

I:"……"

I sighed and suddenly began to feel a little sad about the future...

The next day, Qin Che accompanied me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Originally, he was unwilling to let me go out again. After all, I still needed to recover from my injury. But I thought that only by going in person would I be sincere, so I tried hard to get Qin Che to agree.

When we arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, we went directly to the Lord's study. As I walked through the hall, I spotted a few people I didn't expect.

It's Liu Zaixi's family.

The adult seems to be sitting high up, with a serious face. This is the first time I have seen an adult with such a scary expression. After all, he is usually gentle and gentle to me. Although he is cold and expressionless towards others, his external mood is still very stable. Like today, you can tell at a glance that the adults are angry.

The boy said something to the adults for me, and Qin Che helped me into the hall. The servant in the house quickly got me a seat and thoughtfully placed cushions on it.

The Prime Minister frowned and said, "The injury is not fully healed, why are you going out?"

I said: "It's almost done now. You just have to be active when meeting adults." The adults wanted to continue preaching, so I quickly changed the subject and asked: "How could these three people be in the hands of adults?" I remember that they were handed over to Dali Temple. Coming.

The Prime Minister snorted: "The Prime Minister has personally examined this matter and fined them half of their family property, and they will not be allowed to enter the capital for life. They will be kept out of sight."

This punishment is neither light nor severe, it is just right.

I nodded in agreement.

Liu Zaixi saw me over there and hurriedly came to me and thanked me: "Thank you so much, Zaixi, for saving my life!"

I waved my hand and said: "This is not all for you. It is also His Majesty's kindness that prevents you from being exterminated. Just think of Your Majesty."

After saying that, two complicated eyes were cast on me. Qin Che and the Prime Minister looked at me with expressions that I don't know how to describe.

Me: "?" Did I say anything wrong?

There was nothing else to do at the moment, so the Prime Minister let the family go.

After the Prime Minister paid attention to my injury, he directly talked about business. She said: "The true identity of the craftsmen has almost been found for you, and I'm just waiting for you to give orders on how to do it."

I said: "You are indeed the Prime Minister. Without you, Yue Ji wouldn't even know how to proceed to the next step?"

Qin Che was dissatisfied and said: "If there is no prime minister, I can still find someone for me."

The Prime Minister sneered: "The military commander must have found someone reckless."

Qin Che: "Civil officials are just talking."

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder, I quickly stopped them and said, "We are talking about business."

The Prime Minister thought of something and said to me: "But there is a person who I can really recommend to Ah Ji. This person is knowledgeable and understands the design of institutions. I think he is the person I want to find."

I asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

Prime Minister: "The son of the young minister of Dali Temple is Yu Huanyi."

I was surprised, it was him? A figure who is as gentle and gentle as jade comes to mind?

Qin Che disagreed a little: "I have investigated this person before. The young minister of Dali Temple is a pedantic person. I am afraid he will not agree to Yu Huanyi coming forward to do this."

The Prime Minister said: "The general has no interaction with him, so how could he suddenly investigate?"

Qin Che snorted: "Personal grudge."

I feel ashamed that he actually remembered the copybook from that day for so long.

Prime Minister: "I won't agree easily, but if His Majesty makes the decree, this matter will be much simpler."

After talking about these things, the Prime Minister repeatedly told me to have a good rest and gave me a lot of ointment to remove scars. She said: "Women should have skin as smooth as cream. How can you not feel distressed by the fact that you have such a hideous scar?" ."

Under the tearful eyes of the adults, I accepted a bunch of bottles and cans.

On the way back home, Qin Che suddenly said: "I am so close to everyone."

I said: "But Archer is Ah Ji's only relative."

Normally, when he heard my words at this time, he would feel relieved, but now, when he heard these words, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

I said: "What's wrong?"

Qin Che lowered his eyes, covering his emotions, and said, "Nothing."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, I didn't continue to ask. Maybe it was because the dog was older and had his own worries.

I looked at the pile of plasters on my hand, and when I thought about the past few days, I felt like I was in another world.

It would be nice if it could stay like this forever, but after all, I still don't belong here.

The wind chimes on the carriage tinkled alone, just like my thoughts...
