Prime Minister Lin's slightly gray beard trembled, his chest heaved violently, he looked at the daughter unwillingly, finally bent his knees, and knelt down heavily: "I have seen the empress."

Lin Qingmei didn't ask him to get up, but asked in a firm voice: "The prime minister came to see me, why?"

Prime Minister Lin couldn't make up her mind, didn't dare to get up, and said angrily: "Your Majesty invited her own sister into the palace overnight. The old minister was worried about the little girl, so he came here to take her back to the mansion."

Lin Qing raised her eyebrows and said: "Little sister feels cold occasionally, I have ordered her to stay in the palace to recuperate, Prime Minister, please go back."

The refusals made Prime Minister Lin unhappy, and he got up without waiting for her order, and shouted angrily: "Why is the wind and cold so fast? Don't use this trick to fool me!"

Lin Qing's eyebrows were cold, and she said coldly: "It seems that father knows the reason of the matter well. If so, why would he have the face to take her back to the house? I am suspicious. Since the prime minister asked her to make this dessert, what is it? It is not yet known who made the move."

"You bastard!" Prime Minister Lin lowered his voice, but the irritated expression on his face remained undiminished, "Shuhe is your own sister, and murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime against the nine clans. Go in, don't you understand this truth?"

"You have nine clans in your heart, but I don't. If you dare to touch my son, I will never let you go lightly!" Lin Qing's expression was cold, and there was a cold determination in her eyes, "Since I left her in Yonghe In the palace, Lin's face is taken into consideration, but if father is stubborn, then don't blame me for not thinking about sisterhood."

Prime Minister Lin was shocked: "How are you doing?"

Lin Qingmei sneered, and the sternness in her eyes was shocking, clearly intent on killing.

Prime Minister Lin was extremely distressed when his sisters were reduced to such a state, but he had to turn around and said through gritted teeth: "You keep the secret of Shuhe, as father... so I will also keep the little prince's secret for you."

Lin Qingmei stood up abruptly: "What do you mean?"

Prime Minister Lin said: "Don't you know about Xia Cong as a father? Back then you had an affair with Xia Qi. Since you entered the palace, being a father has never been mentioned to anyone. If the little emperor knows about this child 's biological father..."

"Prime Minister!" Lin Qingmei slapped her palm on the table suddenly, her palm was numb from the shock, and her heart was even colder. Unexpectedly, he would use this to threaten herself, "You are really disappointing, Bengong..."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden "bang", the door of the palace was knocked open, and people in uniforms of the forbidden army rushed in instantly, and the sound of sharp swords being unsheathed was heard one after another, and Prime Minister Lin was immediately surrounded in the middle.

"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Lin glared at Lin Qingmei, who had a look of astonishment on his face, obviously not expecting this situation.

The commander of the imperial army raised his arms and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, accept the order."

On the seventh day of November in the fourth year of Yongqing, Prime Minister Lin, the patriarch of the country with power over the government, was suddenly imprisoned for murdering the emperor's heir.However, after Prime Minister Lin was imprisoned, the imperial court did not send anyone to arrest his family members, nor were the disciples of the prime minister's mansion and those ministers who had personal relationships with him implicated. From the beginning to the end, only Prime Minister Lin was imprisoned, which made outsiders puzzled.

Xia Zhi said, "Why don't you uproot them?"

Lin Fang said with a smile: "Although I said I wanted to bet on the head, I didn't really want to fight with my life. The prime minister is in prison alone, and someone in the court will soon pick up the heavy responsibility. Besides, the old prime minister Zhou has already come out, so it won't be too late. It messed up the overall situation. Furthermore, Qinghe has not been rescued, how the prime minister should be convicted is still unclear, the emperor will just wait."

With the absence of Prime Minister Lin in the court, the people who originally coveted the position are ready to move, but just looking at the current situation, they can only slowly figure it out.

Xia Zhi personally went to Lama Temple to visit Xia Cong who was ill.

After all, Xia Cong was young, and after the rash on his body disappeared, he lost a lot of weight, and his eyes became bigger and bigger, but he was not bright and was very sick.Xia Zhao was lying on the bedside, holding his finger with red eyes, and whispered: "Brother..."

Lin Qing couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "My brother is still sleeping, when he wakes up, play with you."

Xia Zhi was afraid that he would disturb Xia Cong's rest, so he let him watch for a while, and then asked the wet nurse to carry him down.

The people in the palace retreated consciously, Xia Zhi said, "How is your little sister?"

Lin Qingmei said: "She acted so viciously, the concubine must be severely punished, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Xia Zhi was noncommittal, and said: "The prime minister has been in the court for many years. This time Xia Cong had an accident, how do you know that he didn't instruct him behind it? Now that he is in prison, what does the queen think?"

Lin Qingmei's expression was shaken, and she said in a soft voice: "The prime minister has been an official for many years, even if there are derelictions of duty, his credit cannot be erased. How can it be easily asserted that Xia Cong's matter was instigated by him?"

"If it's not the prime minister, then it's Lin Shuhe?"

"emperor!"

"The queen told me to be lenient with Lin Shu and Wang, I can agree, and told me to be merciful to the prime minister, I can also consider it. It's just... If I retreat again and again, there must be a reason to retreat, so that I can retreat willingly." , also convinced the people of the world."

Lin Qing's brows were flustered, and she said nana: "Your Majesty... If you have made a decision, you should tell the concubine, and the concubine will definitely do her best."

"This matter has a lot to do with it, what decision can we make now?" Xia Zhi said with a light smile, "But what you said is true, the Prime Minister has indeed worked hard for many years, if he understands the reason for retreating bravely, I will naturally think that he has done so much for me over the years Yong's hard work."

Lin Qingmei said: "The concubine will try her best to persuade my father to return to his hometown so that he can take care of his life and never cause trouble for the emperor."

Lin Qingmei was so knowledgeable, Xia Zhi was quite satisfied, and said slowly: "At the time of Qiu Wei, there was a gentleman named Zhou Shi'an, who was loyal and courageous, which was extremely rare. The Queen wanted to open a girls' school, so I let him take charge of it. If the Empress has any request on this matter, just tell him."

The case of Qiuwei is about to end, Zhou Shi'an made a fool out of it this time, and let him take the exam again with all the scholars. I'm afraid that some interested people in the court will hold him back, so it's better to transfer him to the queen's side As for his position, for a while, no one dared to find him bad luck.

Xia Zhi consciously let go of a big stone in his heart, and felt much happier, and said loudly: "Zhaoer, follow me back to the palace."

The wet nurse carried Xia Zhao out, and Xia Zhi said, "Put him down and let him go by himself." It's outrageous for a two-year-old baby to be hugged all day long.

Xia Zhao obediently followed Xia Zhi's buttocks, grabbed Xia Zhi's little finger, and clenched his fist tightly.Xia Zhi took big steps, and he couldn't keep up, but he didn't make a sound, and vigorously swung his two short legs, and started to run after him.

Suddenly, there was a "plop" sound from behind, and the strength on the little finger suddenly lost. Xia Zhi turned his head and saw that the child was already lying on the ground, looking at him with his buttocks pouted and his face flushed.

Xia Zhi's brain twitched, and he suddenly burst into laughter. Xia Zhao pursed his mouth, put his arms on the ground, and buried his head.

Xia Zhi didn't speak, the palace servants stood aside like a log, no one dared to go forward to help.

Fuxiu was really ashamed to see his master playing with children like this, so he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

Only then did Xia Zhi wake up, and hurriedly bent down to hug him up.It's just that he just bent down at this waist, and suddenly felt a piercing pain in his back rushing from the skin to the bone, hitting his chest hard, his eyes darkened, his mind sank, and he fell forward.

"Your Majesty—" Fuxiu paled in shock, and hurriedly reached out to help, but was pushed away by Xia Zhi's palm.This stagger almost made him fall to the ground, but fortunately he woke up in time and supported the ground with his hands, so he didn't fall so embarrassingly.It's just that the pain on his body was not good, Xia Zhi gritted his teeth, completely speechless, the cold sweat rolled down his forehead in the blink of an eye.

"You all, get down!" Fuxiu ordered sharply, and the palace servants next to her immediately retreated.

Xia Zhi sat on the ground stiffly, grasped his knees with both hands, and pressed them tightly, his body trembling slightly.

"Your majesty?" Fuxiu said, "Do you want to teach the imperial physician?"

"No need." Xia Zhi exhaled lightly, feeling the sudden pain in his back disappear suddenly, he relaxed his back and said, "Just pretend it's nothing, and don't gossip with Shizi, do you understand? "

Since Qinghe disappeared, Lin Fang has been worried, and put on a calm look in front of him, advising him not to worry too much.In fact, Xia Zhi knew very well that Lin Fang was more worried about Qinghe's hidden worries than himself.

Xia Zhi suspected that it was Qinghe who was tortured on the back just now, which made him feel the same way.

Xia Zhao looked at this scene in bewilderment, and stopped crying, got up from the ground, sat down opposite his father, and stared at him blankly.

"I'm fine." Xia Zhi gritted his teeth, pulled Xia Zhao to get up, and suddenly felt a pain in his back, so painful that he subconsciously shook his arm, and directly threw Xia Zhao's arm out.

Xia Zhao bent his mouth and looked at him in fear: "Father... Father..."

This was the first time Xia Zhao heard a crying voice, and Xia Zhi felt a strange feeling in his heart, even the pain in his back was not so strong.He looked at Xia Zhao happily: "Come on, call again."

Xia Zhao stared round his eyes, looked at him eagerly, and called out crisply: "Father."

"It's so good." Xia Zhi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his soft hair, "Since you're so good, why don't you ask Fuxiu to hug you?"

Xia Zhao nodded in confusion.

Fuxiu said worriedly: "The servant supports the emperor, why don't you call..."

"No, I'm fine." Xia Zhi supported his arm and stood up, then let go, straightened his messy clothes, gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Heaven will send a great mission to human beings, you must first work hard on your will, work hard Muscles, hahahaha—”
