Crazy host sweet temptation, cold licking the main god and acting coquettish

"Your Highness, if you don't rest...it will be dawn soon." Lin Zhuo asked with concern: "Didn't you say yesterday that you had something important to do in the palace the next day?"

The pile of memorials on the desk was almost drowning the man. There was one in front of Xiao Si. Hearing this, he paused and the thick black ink dripped down and stained the book. He nodded grimly and asked, "Any news?"

A person who was seriously ill and had a fever suddenly disappeared in such a short time without leaving any trace. If he was sure that he did not have such ability, Xiao Si suspected that Si Mo was kidnapped by someone.

Lin Zhuo shook his head regretfully: "No, but they found this." He walked forward and placed the thing wrapped in cloth in his arms on the table. Lin Zhuo suddenly paused: "Your Highness, you... held the memorial upside down."

"Animal hair?" Xiao Si narrowed his eyes dangerously: "When Si Mo disappeared, there was also some by the window of that room."

"Are these two things related?" "Could Yang Qiu be responsible for the disappearance of the Sixteenth Prince?"

But he is already dead. If he had known earlier... Lin Zhuo might have spared his life and forced him to answer.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Si shook his head: "No."

"Send more people and continue searching." Xiao Si pinched his brows tiredly: "You go down first, and tomorrow's plan will proceed as usual."

The situation in the palace cannot be left alone, and because of Si Mo, Xiao Si has one more thing to worry about.

When Lin Zhuo approached Xiao Si just now, he sensed a faint smell of blood on him. It was strange to say, he had followed the prince for so long, so he naturally knew something about his temperament and habits. It seemed that Xiao Si rarely fell into his current state because of someone.

He could be ruthless even to the people in his own mansion. He could obviously order his servants to do it, but Xiao Si insisted on doing it himself and killed all those who had ill intentions against Si Mo. The mansion has now been completely cleared of Yang Qiu's faction.

Moreover, Xiao Si has a serious obsession with mysophobia. He feels excited and happy when killing people, but once he throws down the sword in his hand, Xiao Si seems to become a completely different person. He will immediately take a shower and change clothes. The slightest smell of blood on his body will make him nauseous, and he cannot wait for a moment.

But now...is it all because of Si Mo?

"Yes." Lin Zhuo responded helplessly and went downstairs to prepare clean clothes for Xiao Si.

The next morning, a palace maid reported that the Queen Mother had just returned from worshipping Buddha when she found an unwritten letter in front of the palace gate. However, her intuition told her that it was 'that person'.

"You go down." She glanced at the maidservant in front of her. After the maid left, the empty hall was not open, but there was a gust of cold wind. Xi clenched her hands, and after a moment, she said to the person in front of her: "Come out."

"Empress Dowager." Xiao Si walked out silently from the light green curtain beside him like a ghost, and saluted her with a smile that could etch bone-chilling.

After not seeing each other for many years, she almost forgot what Xiao Si looked like. But the moment they met again, just one glance made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy again.

The appearance of the Prince of Qinghe has not changed much, but he seems more mature and more mature than before.

Many years ago, the Queen Mother hated the look in Xiao Si's eyes when he looked at her, and it was still the same now, because he knew the dirtiest and most shameful secret in her heart.

She wished that the matter would be buried underground along with Xiao Si, never to see the light of day again!

"It's been a long time since we last met. How has the Queen Mother been in good health in recent years?" Xiao Si casually walked around her from behind and chose to sit down opposite Xi, playing with the empty cup in his hands unscrupulously.

“Prince Qinghe…” The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, her voice trembling as she spoke: “I still have to remind you that there is a difference between the noble and the humble.”

Xiao Si nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I came to see the Queen Mother without notifying her. In the final analysis, I am overstepping my authority."

"I came here just to confirm something with the Queen Mother." He turned the cup upside down. The sound was not loud, but Xi Shi suddenly shuddered all over and heard Xiao Si's teasing laugh saying, "Queen Mother, don't be nervous."

"Does the Queen Mother know a man named Feng Guang?"

Xi pretended to be confused, steadying her voice and pretending to be confused: "Of course I don't know him. I spend all day in the palace eating vegetarian food and worshiping Buddha, so how can I have time to know people from outside. But since King Qinghe can remember his name and come to ask me... who is he?"

"How does the Queen Mother know that Feng Guang is from the outside and not just some eunuch in the palace who is delivering messages?"

Xiao Si chuckled, but there was a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes. Under his dark pupils was a sharp blade that could pierce through people's hearts: "He was just a scapegoat. It's a pity that he died in such a tragic way in the end. Tsk tsk."

A trace of nervousness and panic flashed across the woman's tense face, and then she heard Xiao Si say: "But you just said that there is a difference between the superior and the inferior. I asked you such an impolite question, why didn't you scold me immediately, but answered obediently instead?

I heard that only people with guilty consciences can be easily controlled, what do you think, Queen Mother?"

"How dare you!" She was completely enraged, and her perfect face, which was both decent and hypocritical, could no longer be maintained. At this point, she had no choice but to compromise: "Xiao Si, what exactly do you want to say?!"

At that moment, the murderous intent in Xiao Si's eyes gradually evaporated, like a lion whose red line was touched, and a bloodthirsty cold light flashed in his deep eyes. Although it was only captured for a moment, Xi's face was as pale as paper, and he clenched his palms tightly, letting the long nails sink into the flesh without noticing.

She has been in control of the overall situation for many years, and has been ruling from behind the scenes since the puppet emperor took the throne. She thought that the situation had stabilized after many years, but now the only person who could make her look so embarrassed has returned. Not only did he come back, he also knew that she had sent someone to assassinate him, and the thin friendly relationship between her and Xiao Si was ruthlessly punctured.

"I don't want to say anything." Xiao Si brushed the dust off the jade pendant on his body, stood up and returned to his gentle and sinister look, but the words he said made her terrified.

"I just want to remind the Queen Mother...don't forget what happened that year."

"I don't need to remind you how the Queen Mother became this position."

"That fire seemed to have happened in this Phoenix Palace. The Queen Mother is much braver than me. She is not afraid of nightmares every night when living here."

"Or is it that the Queen Mother is also trying to warn herself, afraid that she has forgotten the face of Queen Chun begging you to save her when she was trapped by the beams in the fire and could not move?"

"You!!" Xi covered her chest with her hands, gasping for breath as the blood in her body rushed back. It seemed that after Xiao Si's reminder, those unbearable memories came back to her mind again.

As expected, he mentioned this matter again. He had never forgotten it for a moment! Xiao Si had held her hand all her life. As long as Xiao Si was alive, she would be suppressed underground forever.

Ten years ago, Xi was just an ordinary concubine in the previous emperor's palace, and the son of the real queen Chun had long been made the crown prince.

It was just that Xi Shi was unwilling to give in. She had no children and was completely forgotten by the previous emperor after being favored by him a few times. One can imagine how difficult her life in the palace was. But no one knew that before entering the palace, she and the queen were the best sisters.

The sisters turned against each other because of jealousy.

She carefully planned for several months, and finally found an opportunity to set a fire in Fengluan Palace. Then, out of love and hatred, she joined forces with her father and brothers from her mother's family to plot the murder of the late emperor. At that time, the prince was only a child of seven or eight years old. Xi Shi had persuaded him to surrender, but the prince was stubborn and unyielding, and was eventually killed.

The current emperor was a bastard she found in the palace. He was young, inexperienced in worldly affairs, and had a weak character, making him the most suitable person to be controlled.

Xi has been keeping this secret for many years. If it weren't for Xiao Si... she could have sat on the throne of the Queen Mother and enjoyed her old age.

So Xiaosi must die!

"I have told the Queen Mother before that I can pretend that I didn't see anything. Over the years, I have never had the slightest thought of disobeying the Emperor." Xiao Si suppressed his smile and said, "I am not interested in that position. It is you who don't believe it."

"I have stayed away from the intrigues of the court for many years, all for the sake of freedom."

"But a few days ago, Feng Guang told me that there was someone behind him. When he called out the Queen Mother's name, do you know how I felt?" Xiao Si pointed at his heart in grief, and said, "Since I can't get the Queen Mother's trust, why don't I fight to the death with you?"

Xi was obviously hurt by his words and stood up shakily: "Xiao Si, you dare...!"

"Why should I be afraid?" Xiao Si said leisurely, "Although I have been far away from the frontier for so many years, I know without a doubt that the emperor has no interest in the affairs of the court. Those political affairs are actually managed by the empress dowager, right?"

Xiao Si shook his head pretending to be regretful: "It's pitiful for our Queen Mother. She has to work so hard at such an old age. Not only does she have to deal with the ministers' impeachment memorials against her for being the traitor, but she also has to take care of eliminating the power of Queen Chun's family?"

"What a coincidence! I happen to have that list in my hand as well."

"If I summon them and tell them the whole story of how Queen Chun was murdered... their precious niece was killed by a scheme, what will those old ministers do?"

"Do you think she is the queen just because the late emperor doted on her?"

Xiao Si raised his chin and reminded: "You can't imagine the power behind Queen Chun's family."

The woman had completely collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath with tears streaming down her face. She glared at Xiao Si fiercely, wishing she could rush up and strangle him to death right away!

"Then what do you want?" Xi knew that she couldn't confront Xiao Si head-on at this moment, so she had to go along with him and lower her posture: "...I didn't think carefully about Feng Guang's matter."

"As long as Prince Qinghe promises me not to mention the past to the old ministers, what do you want me to do..."

"Simple." Xiao Si stepped forward and helped her up, the corners of his mouth gradually raised an arc, and he said with concern: "I think that the Queen Mother is old and is somewhat unable to handle the affairs of the court. What do you think, Queen Mother?"

Even though she was extremely unwilling, she had to grit her teeth and nodded, waiting quietly for Xiao Si to continue.

"The emperor has grown up now. When I come back this time, I will do my best to train him to be independent and think independently. This is also for the sake of the country."

"In the future, the Queen Mother should live out her days in this deep palace, eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha, and pay for the sins she committed in her lifetime."

The man stared at her without blinking, smiling wickedly: "So that you won't be dragged into hell by evil spirits after you die..."
