male queen rampage
Chapter 24
The real situation at this time of the year.
Shen Lixin stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and forgot to step forward for a moment.
Lin Yifeng raised his eyes slowly, this usually resolute and courageous young man looked indifferent at this time, a pair of dull eyes fell on Shen Lixin, showing a slightly bleak smile: "Your Majesty, it is really inconvenient for me to get up at this moment."
Shen Lixin nodded to express her understanding, then walked over cautiously and leaned over, stretched out her hands to try to hug the person in Lin Yifeng's arms, but the person felt that someone was moving him, and instead grabbed Lin Yifeng's sleeve firmly, motionless.
Lin Yifeng sighed and said, "Xiaohan, the emperor has come to see you."
"..." Lin Yi turned his back to the outside of the bed, without saying a word.At that time, Lin Yifeng hacked Sun Yi to death for himself. It was obviously a happy thing, but he fell into deep worry just like Lin Yifeng.The prince committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that Lin Yifeng was not the real prince surnamed Shen, a humble general who quickly stood at the top of the Great Zhou relying on the emperor's trust. When a support was removed, the whole support began clamoring to fall.Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt worthless for Lin Yifeng.
It's just a Sun Yi, even if he really did something to him, he wouldn't be guilty of death.What's more, that man is the only son of Sun Dongcai and his wife. The ancients always valued the inheritance of incense.
Lin Yi didn't feel sorry for Sun Dongcai and his wife, but worried about Lin Yifeng's safety.Although he knew that killing people would pay for their lives, he didn't want Lin Yifeng to suffer any damage because of this incident.
He pretended to be overly frightened and curled up in Lin Yifeng's arms, in order to tell the emperor that the person who was killed was a heinous crime, and he was the victim, and Lin Yifeng just saved himself.
Shen Lixin just asked someone to move a chair and sit in front of the bed, looked at Lin Yifeng for a while, and finally said: "I know everything."
Lin Yifeng suppressed his expression, and said softly: "Everything is done by the minister alone, and has nothing to do with him."
Shen Lixin smiled helplessly: "Do you think I will put you in prison for an insignificant person? Besides, that person is still treating Xiaohan..."
Lin Yifeng didn't react for a while: "Your Majesty?"
"Just put your heart back on your stomach, I will deal with this matter."
Lin Yi suddenly turned over, opened his eyes and looked at the emperor in surprise, Shen Lixin was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a soft smile.
"Xiaohan, I won't do anything to your brother."
At night, just as Yin of Shuntian Mansion fell asleep with his concubine in his arms, he heard a report from the housekeeper outside, saying that someone had knocked on the drum of grievance outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
Yuan Cheng, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, did not take it seriously, and was about to ask the yamen servant to dismiss the complainant, but the housekeeper whispered: "The defendant this time has a lot of background."
With a bright moon and few stars, Shangjing fell into a deep sleep.From Yuan's Mansion to Pingyuanhou's Mansion, several people used torches to clear the way along the way. Such a mobilizing scene woke up the people nearby. People secretly opened the windows and looked out. The whole street was illuminated like daytime. Well-trained people stood on both sides of the road holding torches, respectfully waiting for a middle-aged man to gallop past on a horse. In the dead of night, the sound of horseshoes echoed for a long time, faintly conveying a sense of nervousness and weirdness.
Yuan Cheng paced back and forth in the living room of Pingyuanhou Mansion, and after a while, he saw a stern young man coming from behind.
Pingyuan Hou Xie Changqing was just over [-] years old and served as the Minister of Dali Temple.Although the hereditary title of Marquis of Pingyuan is withered, only Xie Changqing of this generation has entered the official position, and he is a neither hot nor high nor low as Dali Temple Minister. The decline of Xie's family is beginning to appear.Waking up in the middle of the night, Xie Changqing's face was very ugly. He looked at the Shuntian Fu Yin in front of him, and said impatiently: "Master Yuan, you came here in the middle of the night, what happened?"
Yuan Cheng looked at Xie Changqing with guilt, and said cautiously: "Master Hou, something is wrong."
Xie Changqing sat down at the main seat, scooped up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, I just took a difficult case."
"It's strange. I haven't worked in Dali Temple for a few years, but Mr. Fu Yin has more experience than me. When encountering a difficult case, he doesn't discuss it with the officials of Shuntian Mansion. Why come to my house?"
"Master Hou, at this time, I really don't dare to deal with the relatives of the emperor rashly..."
"What the hell is going on?"
"King Zhenbei killed someone."
Xie Changqing's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, his heart beat wildly: "Is this really true?"
"It's absolutely true, the victim is said to be Sun Yi, the emcee of Dali Temple."
Xie Zhangqing was excited in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm. He took a sip of tea, and then dropped the teacup with a bang, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Zhenbei Wang Lin Yifeng dared to disregard the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and murder people in Dali Temple. I must report it to the Holy Majesty to seek justice for the unjust death of Master Cheng!"
Yuan Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Shuntian Mansion will assist Dali Temple in handling the case, and must give Hou Ye an explanation.
55.
Marquis Pingyuan has always been a member of the Feng family. His main wife, Yu Shi, is the sister of Concubine Yu in the palace. A large part of the reason Xie Changqing married Yu's daughter was to find a backer for the Xie family.Xie Zhangqing knew that the Xie family had the same interests as the Yu family, so the opponents of the Yu family in the court were his opponents, and the enemies of the Yu family were his enemies.So when he learned about King Zhenbei, the thought that jumped out of his heart was not surprise, but ecstasy.
As we all know, Lin Yifeng is a general who was single-handedly picked up by the emperor. The appearance of Lin Yifeng broke the long-standing balance of interests of the imperial court. He guarded the border with a heavy army. It seemed that he had nothing to do with the power of the court, but he only had a younger brother of the empress who lived in a high position in the harem. .Although Queen Lin came to power not long ago and did nothing, his existence is a potential threat.On this point, the young Pingyuan Hou Xie Changqing and Yongning Hou Yuye had already reached an agreement.The Lin Brothers had to be eliminated, but there was a lack of opportunity.
And now, God gave them an excellent opportunity.
Early the next morning, Xie Changqing sent his wife, Yu Shi, into the palace to find concubine Yu, and he sent someone to secretly send a message to Yongning Hou Yuye. There are no waves, but an undercurrent is surging, as if a big storm is brewing.
After the early court, Shen Lixin left Xie Changqing behind, and Xie Changqing honestly told what he had learned from Shuntian Fu Yin last night, and pretended to be frightened to ask the emperor's opinion.
Shen Lixin seemed to feel that today's Dali Temple Minister was different from usual, but he pretended not to see it and said to Xie Changqing: "The King of Zhenbei just chopped down a commoner who committed crimes, what is there to investigate? Besides, I heard that Sun Yi His parents are both domestic slaves of the Lin family, it is only natural to teach a servant's son a lesson, so don't make too much of a fuss."
Xie Changqing said: "Your Majesty, now in Shangjing, King Zhenbei is cruel and arrogant, disregarding human life. As far as I know, Sun Dongcai and Qin Zhen are not slaves of the Lin family, but guests of the Lin family. King Bei and Queen Lin still respect them as elders. Sun Yi is Queen Lin's cousin. He had a very good relationship at first, but somehow he became the soul of King Zhenbei's sword... This Sun Yi is also a master of ceremonies in Dali Temple , can be regarded as a high-ranking official, how can the King of Zhenbei kill officials without reason, how can it be handled as an ordinary case?"
Shen Lixin looked sullen: "Xie Changqing, how dare you disobey me? What happened to King Zhenbei?"
"The king of Zhenbei is a young talent, a hero of the time, and I have always admired him. It's just that as the Minister of Dali Temple, I have to act impartially. Now that King Zhenbei has just returned to Beijing, this kind of thing happened. It hurt the royal family's face when it was spread. It's really heartbreaking..." Xie Changqing looked indifferent, and knelt on the ground with his robe lifted.
Shen Lixin gritted her teeth and said, "If I say no, I won't. Xie Changqing, if you want to keep your head, just be honest with me."
Xie Changqing returned to the Marquis of Pingyuan, and Marquis of Yongning was already waiting in the study.He walked into the study quickly, and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of a landscape painting, as if he was admiring the painting.
Xie Changqing walked over and cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu."
Yu Ye was over forty years old and commanded the soldiers of the Jianmen Mansion to guard the capital, which won the trust of the emperor.The Feng family had been in power for many years, and it took Yuye a long time to contend with it.Before Lin Yihan entered the palace, he didn't feel that Lin Yifeng was a threat to him. It wasn't until Lin Yihan was proclaimed empress, and there were frequent news in the palace that the empress favored her and concubine Yu lost power, that he turned his attention to the Lin brothers. body.Seeing that the Feng family's forces are becoming more and more afraid of the emperor, and there are more and more officials from the poor family in the court, Yu Ye faintly feels that the crisis is coming.In fact, he was already secretly planning for the downfall of the Lin brothers, and there was an excellent opportunity in front of him.
Yu Ye first chatted with Xie Changqing about some homework, then changed the subject, and asked in a deep voice, "What does the emperor say?"
Xie Changqing knew what Yu Ye was referring to, so he smiled wryly and said: "The emperor is defending King Zhenbei. In fact, this matter is not big or small. Besides, I heard that Sun Yi is a lustful person, and he covets Queen Lin? Rong already For a long time, it is understandable for King Zhenbei to kill people in anger. Now that the emperor is trying his best to defend it, there is probably nothing to do about it."
Yu Ye glanced at him and said, "How can this matter be done as you said? You are still a descendant of Xie Hou... It's a pity that my daughter of the Yu family married you."
Xie Changqing was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Only follow Yue Zhang's orders."
"Stay the emperor for now." After Yu Ye finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.
Lin Yi returned to the palace with the emperor the next day.
Before leaving, he and Lin Yifeng looked at each other with tears in their eyes (pretentiously), until the strange black gas emanated from the emperor's body before he reluctantly let go and got into the carriage.
The first thing he did when he returned to Qionghua Palace was to ask the people who stayed in the palace what had happened recently. The palace lady Wanshuang told him that nothing major had happened in the past few days. It's rare to stay in harmony.
Just as Lin Yi was relieved, someone from the palace outside reported that the Queen Mother was looking for him.
The queen mother hasn't taken the initiative to find trouble for her since the Chinese New Year, why did she suddenly appear again now...
Lin Yi went to Xingluo Palace with anxiety.
In the main hall, Empress Dowager Feng was sitting in the front seat, and an acquaintance was sitting on her left.
Shen Ying is dressed very formally today. She is dressed in an ink-colored robe with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, and a golden jade crown on her hair.
After some courteous greetings, the palace man moved the chair to the Empress Dowager's right hand.
Empress Dowager Feng said: "The queen is also a man, so don't avoid suspicion, let's sit together!"
After Lin Yi sat down, he couldn't help but glance at King Qi. The man looked like a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his expression, polite but not much talk.
Seeing Lin Yi looking at King Qi, Empress Dowager Feng smiled and said, "King Qi of Yingzhou is the emperor's elder brother. Speaking of which, his relationship with the emperor is a little closer than Ai's family!"
Lin Yi said: "Really, I haven't heard the emperor mention it before..."
Shen Ying smiled helplessly: "This king and the emperor have some misunderstandings, but I have no chance to solve them."
Lin Yi said: "The emperor has always been magnanimous. How can there be any knots between brothers? Maybe he has already forgotten why he blamed you. His Royal Highness King Qi, please relax!"
Shen Ying said: "It's so good."
Empress Dowager Feng looked at the two of them, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to hit it off, so the Ai family can feel at ease."
Lin Yi looked at Empress Dowager Feng a little strangely: "By the way, Empress Dowager, why did you call me here today..."
Empress Dowager Feng said: "Earlier, the King of Qi told the Ai family that they had to ask the queen's opinion when thinking about this matter. King Qi has a younger sister who has been adopted as a righteous daughter by the Ai family. She has a gentle and virtuous personality. His appearance is also one of a kind, and he just turned 16 years old this year. Now that King Zhenbei is in the capital, he is not too young, King Qi intends to marry King Zhenbei, and promised his sister to King Zhenbei as his wife."
Lin Yi looked at King Qi blankly, blinked his eyes and said, "What's the name of His Highness King Qi's sister?" How come I haven't heard that King Qi has a "gentle and virtuous" girl? !
Shen Ying said: "My sister's surname is Meng Dan and her name is Yu."
Lin Yi almost fell over: Isn't that the tsundere girl Xiaoyu? ? ! !Where is she gentle and virtuous? ? ! !
Empress Dowager Feng added: "The emperor has already given the title Princess Yayu, how about it, is it worthy of King Zhenbei?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt a little powerless: "Actually, I also hope that my brother can start a family soon, but... I can't persuade him, and I don't know what kind of woman he likes...I have to go back and discuss this matter with my brother. "
The smile on Empress Dowager Feng's face froze, and she became a little impatient: "Queen, hurry up, if you miss a girl as good as Princess Yayu."
Lin Yi quickly showed a smirk: "No problem, I'll ask when I get back!"
When Lin Yi left, Empress Dowager Feng put away her smile and drank tea expressionlessly.
"The king of Zhenbei is just a servant who was promoted from the house. A maid is more than enough to match him, but the queen is still picky."
Shen Ying said: "That being said, this kind of matter is ultimately up to the emperor to decide..."
Empress Dowager Feng glanced at Shen Ying: "Your Majesty won't disobey Ai's family for such a thing."
Shen Ying smiled wryly: "Queen Mother, the Emperor will definitely not fail to guess the relationship. How could he agree to King Zhenbei to marry Xiaoyu?"
The king of Qi and the Feng family have the same interests, so Meng Yu is regarded as the power of the Feng family.Now King Zhenbei is deeply trusted and valued by the emperor. It's not that Empress Dowager Feng has never thought about getting rid of the Lin brothers, but he didn't expect the emperor to protect Empress Lin so much. The previous series of secret actions not only failed to bring down the queen, but also let the emperor down. Protect it even more.Later, Empress Dowager Feng thought about it, since she couldn't get rid of it, she might as well turn the Lin brothers into her own. This would not only make it easier to control Zhenbei King, but also solve the problem without losing a single soldier.
Empress Dowager Feng said: "In this matter, we can only find a breakthrough from the queen. As long as the queen agrees, the emperor will agree. King Qi, Aijia sees that you have a good chat with the queen. From now on, walk around with him more, and bring Xiaoyu with you. superior."
On the surface, Shen Ying agreed, but felt helpless in her heart: How dare I walk around with him again... I'll be blamed if the emperor doesn't kill me...
Lin Yi returned to Qionghua Palace, only to find that the emperor was sitting in the palace waiting for him.
He walked in and asked strangely, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Shen Lixin's face was gloomy, and he waited for Lin Yi to approach without saying a word, and stretched out his hand to embrace the boy in his arms.
Lin Yi was stunned for a while, and finally gave up after struggling for a long time. Anyway, he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary in broad daylight, so he lay obediently in Shen Lixin's arms, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"They're about to move."
"Who?"
Shen Lixin sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched the young man's cheek: "But it's okay, I will definitely do what I promised you, and no one should try to touch Lin Yifeng."
Lin Yi knew it clearly: "Did the ministers tell you something?"
"They want Dali Temple to strictly censor."
Lin Yi smiled: "Why? My brother is not wrong. If you want to be censored, you have to censor me. Who told Sun Yifei to ask Da Heitian to trouble me."
Shen Lixin looked at the young man, and said for a while: "If Sun Yizhen did something to you, I will never let him go lightly. Fortunately, your brother arrived in time, otherwise I dare not think about what will happen next...so I did not agree to them. "
Lin Yi said: "This is not good, let them investigate, anyway, we have a clear conscience."
"You don't know," Shen Lixin said, "they are not looking for Lin Yifeng, but they are dissatisfied with me. If they are asked to investigate, Lin Yifeng may not be able to keep him."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor. This guy usually looks like he is the only one who respects me, but he is also frowning?What the emperor has done is really tiring.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I went to the Empress Dowager just now."
"What did she tell you?"
"He wants my brother to marry King Qi."
Shen Lixin said: "They are dreaming! I won't allow it!"
"...Your Majesty, calm down..."
Shen Lixin let go of Lin Yi, stood up and paced back and forth: "They are forcing me one by one..."
Lin Yi said: "Even if the Empress Dowager wants to win over my brother, as long as my brother holds on, there should be no problem, right? Besides, my brother should get married too. Your Majesty, which girl do you want to marry him?"
Shen Lixin was taken aback for a moment, then said in a daze: "I... never thought about it..."
Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: Your majesty, don't you really want to bring Lin Yifeng into the harem? !
"It's just that Lin Yifeng can't marry the queen mother, maybe his life will be ruined!"
"……is it so serious?"
Shen Lixin said slowly: "I still remember how the first emperor died."
Lin Yi was startled, nodded and stopped talking.
"In the end, it's all because my brother is the King of Zhenbei. If he was just an ordinary general, maybe he wouldn't have these troubles..." Lin Yi lowered his eyes.
"What did you say?" Shen Lixin sat down beside him irritably.
"Your Majesty, maybe you should let my brother go, and you should let me go too."
"What?! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"That's not what I mean," Lin Yi leaned over and said patiently, "All the problems are because of my identity and my brother's identity, and now there are more and more people in the court who are dissatisfied with us, and things will definitely happen if this continues. Your Majesty, my elder brother and I are not good at fighting. My elder brother has an upright temperament. He is good at fighting, but he is not good at being an official... And I... You also know how many things happened in the palace these days when I entered the palace... ...I..." At this point, Lin Yi suddenly choked up.
"I'm really tired... Maybe for you, the position of empress is your favor and trust, but for me, it's just a target that everyone is looking forward to."
Shen Lixin's heart moved, the young man in front of him looked calm, but what he said made him a little terrified.
"You are my queen, and I will not give up this position to others."
Lin Yi smiled miserably: "If this continues, I'm really afraid that one day I'll die for no apparent reason..."
Shen Lixin hugged the boy: "What nonsense, I will protect you if I say so."
The young man was lying in Shen Lixin's arms, his eyes were covered with mist, and he looked like weeping.Shen Lixin suddenly felt heartache for no reason.
"If you really want to protect me, then... let me and my brother go..." the boy said to him.
After a while, Shen Lixin said slowly: "I will consider what you said."
A few days later, the emperor decreed that the commander-in-chief of the frontier defenders would be replaced by another general Zhou Yu from a poor family, and Lin Yifeng, king of Zhenbei, would stay in Beijing and wait for dispatch. In fact, he would be on an indefinite holiday.In the palace, Empress Lin Yihan was deposed from the throne because she offended the emperor, demoted to Xiuhua, and moved to the Hot Spring Palace.The whole court shook.
Spring comes early in Shangjing, and the hot spring palace has always been known for its mild climate and beautiful scenery.
Lin Yi was walking in the courtyard of the hot spring palace. Various flowers bloomed on both sides of the gravel road, and the fragrance of the flowers was wafting.Since he lived in the hot spring palace last time, he fell in love with the beauty and tranquility here. The emperor seemed to understand his intentions, and immediately gave the hot spring palace as a residence after being demoted, so that those in the palace who originally wanted to see the ruined and desolate The root of the tooth itches with hatred.
He didn't expect that the emperor would really listen to his opinion, not only abolished himself as the empress, but also withdrew Lin Yifeng's military power.Lin Yifeng was a little puzzled at first, but after Lin Yi called him to the palace to enlighten him, he was relieved. He usually stayed in the Zhenbei Palace, which was newly bestowed by the emperor, and did not go out. He only practiced martial arts and read military books, and lived a leisurely life. .
Lin Yi stayed in the hot spring palace all day long, returning to his old job and studying medical books. He occasionally called Cang Lin from the Imperial Hospital to give advice. The empress dowager's reprimand and the concubine's visit made life so comfortable.
Although the emperor told him that this was only a stopgap measure, he would restore his empress position later.Lin Yi thought helplessly in his heart: Abandoned is abolished, don't recover... Being a queen can't afford to be hurt...
In the middle of the court, after Zhenbei Wang Lin Yifeng was dismissed, the humble officials were somewhat depressed, and everyone's attention was shifted back to the struggle between the old powerful of the Feng family headed by the Queen Mother and the new powerful of the Yu family headed by the imperial concubine.
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at the prosperity in the courtyard and thought thoughtfully: Now that he was kept in the harem and became a real freelancer, he might be able to find a way to leave the palace.
The male queen rampage text 56 epilogue
After more than a month of leisurely life, Lin Yi stayed in the hot spring palace all day long, eating and drinking well, and gaining weight again. He insisted on running in the yard every morning. After a month like this, his energy has improved. less, and you won't be out of breath after walking a few more steps like before.This body was originally that of a 14-year-old boy. After eating and exercising more, his size has grown a bit, but he has the feeling that a boy of the same age should have.
Occasionally he looks in the mirror, sees a slightly heroic face that has receded a little bit of charm, he will giggle non-stop, thinking that this is the face I want, and when he grows up, he will be as handsome as man and god... But every time he A smirk will scare the palace people next to her.
At noon that day, after lunch, he took a walk in the yard to digest food. A lot of flowers bloomed in the flower garden, and the colorful flowers were very beautiful. He simply stood by the flower garden and admired it for a while.
Li Xiaozhong, who was following behind, saw Lin Yi silently looking at the flower bed with a pensive look, thinking that he was depressed, so he enlightened him: "Master, don't be sad, the emperor must still like you."
Lin Yi looked up at Li Xiaozhong amusedly: "Where did you see that?"
"You see that your food and clothing expenses are not less than before, and the hot spring palace where you live is envied by many people..." Li Xiaozhong approached Lin Yi mysteriously when he said this: "The slave heard that, The emperor has not been to other empress palaces for a long time..."
Lin Yi gave Li Xiaozhong a shock: "It's not good to serve the master, but it's more active to do other things. Who asked you to inquire about the situation in other people's palaces?"
Li Xiaozhong covered his head and hehe said: "The master is happy, and the slaves can feel at ease. The slaves care about the master."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Slick tongue, go and stay aside, I'll walk alone!"
"Hey!" Li Xiaozhong responded, turned around and retreated into the distance.
Although he has been staying at home for a while, Lin Yi knows a thing or two about what happened outside.Just one month after King Zhenbei returned to Beijing, news came from the frontier that the Turks split into two tribes, and the eastern part was commanded by the eldest prince, who moved to the northeast of the grassland and stayed away from the Great Zhou ever since.Most of the territory in the west was taken over by the third prince. Since the civil strife had just ended and the west was in a state of waste, the third prince decided to form an alliance with Dazhou and was ready to send a mission to Dazhou to Beijing.The messenger sent by the third prince said that in order to show his sincerity, the third prince wanted to ask a princess from Dazhou to be his concubine, and he would also send his own sister, Princess Saren, to the emperor of Dazhou.
This is good news for the Great Zhou. With the third Turkic prince as an ally, the northern border was freed from the flames of war, and the western Turkic barrier was eliminated. The Great Zhou could communicate with other countries in the Western Regions. From then on, it could concentrate on developing economic production. Have more energy to deal with other problems.The ministers in the court began to rejoice that the emperor did not agree to use troops.
During this period of time, the emperor was so busy that he naturally had no time to take care of the harem.
Lin Yi walked for a while, recognized all the flowers and plants in the hot spring palace courtyard, and then turned and walked back.However, before he could take a few steps, he saw the emperor in a black robe walking towards him from a distance.
Lin Yi was suddenly a little depressed: How can you say that Cao Cao will be there soon? !Don't be such a coincidence! !
He pretended not to see the man, turned around and walked quickly in another direction, with the wind whistling in his ears, mixed with the emperor's exasperated shouts, Lin Yi felt nervous, but he still didn't turn his head, and went straight into the hall.
The moment he stepped into the palace gate, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind him, encircling him tightly.
Lin Yi's heart was beating fast, and with something warm on his back, he seemed to be able to hear the steady heartbeat of the person behind him through his clothes.
The next moment, two pieces of warmth fell on the edges of his ears, and then something wet and soft passed by, and he couldn't help shivering.
"Xiao Han, why are you hiding from me? I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?" Shen Lixin bit the boy's ear lightly with her teeth, her voice hoarse.
Lin Yi's cheeks were a little hot, but he didn't dare to move, he just said tremblingly: "I... didn't see the emperor coming..."
"Call me by my name." Shen Lixin's lips brushed against Lin Yi's cheeks, lingering on his lips, and his hot breath sprayed in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and didn't speak, and suddenly realized that his body seemed to become a little hot.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Lixin didn't force it.Turning the boy's body to face him, holding that delicate face with both hands and gently biting it, watching the boy's bright eyes become misty and his body go limp.At the moment when the boy was about to collapse, he wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, hugged him horizontally, and walked towards the bedroom.
In the evening, Lin Yi woke up, screaming in pain all over his body.
The bedding on the bed was messy, but the person who messed with him before was nowhere to be seen.He cursed in a low voice, and struggled to get up to take a shower.
Li Xiaozhong was obviously very happy, and when he was helping Lin Yi get dressed, he excitedly said to him: "Master, this servant just said, the emperor will never forget you!"
Lin Yi had a headache and asked casually, "When did he leave?"
"It was half an hour ago... oh my master, when the emperor was leaving, he specially asked the servants to take good care of you!"
"Xiao Zhongzi, you were standing by the side at that time, you should have seen where the emperor came from, right? When he came, did he bring someone with him?"
Li Xiaozhong thought for a moment, and said: "It seems not, the emperor came alone, and did not bring other people. And... he walked through the side door."
Lin Yi nodded: The emperor actually learned to be sneaky...
Li Xiaozhong looked at Lin Yi: "Master, are you unhappy?"
"..." Try being xed alone to see if you can be happy? !
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and went to take a bath.
In the evening, I had a simple meal, and asked the maid to carry a lantern and go for a walk in the yard to digest food.
The gate of the hot spring palace was closed long ago, leaving only a small gate for the servants to pass through. At this time, a few strange eunuchs suddenly entered through the gate. Each of them held a lantern in their hands, and they looked like they were dressed in high-grade clothes. Very tall eunuch.
Lin Yi stood not far away, watching seven or eight people walk in, the eunuch in charge didn't smile, but still respectfully saluted: "Xiuhua Wan'an, the slaves are here to invite Master Xiuhua to go by order of the emperor. Qionghua Palace."
Lin Yi looked at the man and thought suspiciously: Since he came to the hot spring palace, the emperor has never asked him to go out. Besides, he just came here in the afternoon, why did he suddenly call me over at night...the one who went there was still unoccupied. Qionghua Palace?
He was calm on the surface, nodded to the eunuch and said: "Please trouble father-in-law, let me prepare."
Then he turned and entered the hall.
Li Xiaozhong had been eavesdropping on him before, but now he rushed over excitedly and said, "Master, is it true that the emperor is going to restore your post?"
Lin Yi curled his lips: "Who knows..."
Li Xiaozhong cheered in a low voice: "The emperor is finally merciful!"
Lin Yi glanced helplessly at Li Xiaozhong, then stepped into the inner hall.
He knew in his heart that if the emperor had something to look for him, he must have said it before, and he would not go to another place to go to other places. Besides, Qionghua Palace is the residence of the empress, and now no one lives there. Even if the emperor wants to find him, he should take it The location is set at Qingxiao Palace or somewhere else, not Qionghua Palace.
He could clear up the doubts in his heart and refuse to go.But he already had a plan in mind.
These days, being a rice worm in the hot spring palace, eating and drinking for free, although the life is comfortable and worry-free, it is really boring.He didn't imagine spending his whole life in the palace like a pig, and he was already planning his own plan to leave the palace.The situation in front of him is somewhat similar to one of the many plans he designed. This is an opportunity for him to take a risk and try.
Changing into more formal clothes, Lin Yi went out with a few eunuchs.
A group of people came to the gate of Qionghua Palace, and saw that the hall was brightly lit, with more than a dozen beautifully dressed women sitting in it, and the one sitting in the upper seat was Empress Dowager Feng.
Previously, Lin Yi was abolished and the Phoenix Seal was returned to Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng regained control of the harem with a lot of ruthless methods. Everyone in the palace felt insecure, but it became surprisingly calm.Since Lin Yi became Xiuhua, he never went out and was always honest, but he didn't know what made Empress Dowager Feng look down on him, so he called so many people to see him and was reprimanded.
Lin Yi thought helplessly, and stepped into the hall.He went forward to kneel down, but Empress Dowager Feng didn't ask him to get up, but said in a stern voice: "Lin Xiuhua, are you guilty?"
Lin Yi cautiously raised his head, looked at Empress Dowager Feng stupidly, and asked in a daze, "Queen Dowager...what's the matter?"
Empress Dowager Feng frowned, but she sighed and remained silent.
Concubine Yu next to her looked sad, her eyes were red at this time, she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Concubine Shi covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and she was already crying silently.
Lin Yi blinked his eyes: "Could it be... something happened to the little prince?!"
Empress Dowager Feng slapped the armrest vigorously: "Bastard, do you know that the first prince and the second prince were almost killed by you?!"
Lin Yi pointed at himself dumbfounded: "I did it?" What the hell, I forgot what the two kids looked like, okay? !
Empress Dowager Feng panted hard, staring at Lin Yi with angry eyes: "Tell them to scoop up the things!"
The two court ladies walked up to Lin Yi with trays, bent over and brought the contents on the tray to Lin Yi. Lin Yi looked intently, but found that there was a small figure made of grass on each of them. There was a piece of paper with the name and date of birth written on it, and several silver needles were stuck on it.
"..." Shit, don't always compare me with you bitches!If Lao Zhi wanted them to die, he would have already raised his knife to chop them up. Is it worth using such a sinister method? !Besides, as an atheist, Lao Zhi doesn't believe in this thing at all, okay? !
-- You... can't insult my IQ! ! !
Taking advantage of the time, Lin Yi glanced at the surrounding concubines, but found that those people also looked filled with righteous indignation, as if the person kneeling in front of him had committed a heinous crime and should be dragged out immediately and beheaded for public display.
Empress Dowager Feng took a breather for a while, and said again: "The eldest prince and the second prince are still ill, and this thing was found from under the bed in the Qionghua Palace. This court is most afraid of witchcraft, Lin Xiuhua, how dare you make such a thing ?!"
Lin Yi roared in his heart: Lao Zhi hasn't lived here for a month, okay? ! !
On the surface, he pretended to be sincere: "I really don't remember hiding this kind of thing. Besides, I'm no longer a queen, and I don't live in Qionghua Palace. I really don't know why this thing appeared under the bed in the bedroom."
Empress Dowager Feng said: "Since you said you didn't know, how do you explain the next thing?!"
and also? ? ?
Lin Yi's jaw dropped again, and he stared blankly at the two eunuchs walking in with trays. There were also straw figurines in their trays, but the names on them were the emperor and the empress dowager.
"These were found by the Ai family who sent people to the hot spring palace just now."
"..." Forget it, you can insult my IQ casually, I don't want to play with you anymore...
At this moment, the emperor hurried into the hall, his anxious eyes fell on Lin Yi, but he quickly regained his composure and walked towards Queen Mother Feng calmly.
"I've heard about it," Shen Lixin looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "How could such a thing happen in the palace?"
Empress Dowager Feng raised her eyes, and asked back: "How did the Ai family know? Your Majesty, if the Ai family hadn't discovered it early, you and the Ai family would have been killed by this monster!"
The emperor took a seat next to Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng told him about the witchcraft, and also called so-called witnesses to tell the story. In this way, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, and the investigation of the case was leak-proof, except for the suspect. plead guilty
Shen Lixin stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and forgot to step forward for a moment.
Lin Yifeng raised his eyes slowly, this usually resolute and courageous young man looked indifferent at this time, a pair of dull eyes fell on Shen Lixin, showing a slightly bleak smile: "Your Majesty, it is really inconvenient for me to get up at this moment."
Shen Lixin nodded to express her understanding, then walked over cautiously and leaned over, stretched out her hands to try to hug the person in Lin Yifeng's arms, but the person felt that someone was moving him, and instead grabbed Lin Yifeng's sleeve firmly, motionless.
Lin Yifeng sighed and said, "Xiaohan, the emperor has come to see you."
"..." Lin Yi turned his back to the outside of the bed, without saying a word.At that time, Lin Yifeng hacked Sun Yi to death for himself. It was obviously a happy thing, but he fell into deep worry just like Lin Yifeng.The prince committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that Lin Yifeng was not the real prince surnamed Shen, a humble general who quickly stood at the top of the Great Zhou relying on the emperor's trust. When a support was removed, the whole support began clamoring to fall.Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly felt worthless for Lin Yifeng.
It's just a Sun Yi, even if he really did something to him, he wouldn't be guilty of death.What's more, that man is the only son of Sun Dongcai and his wife. The ancients always valued the inheritance of incense.
Lin Yi didn't feel sorry for Sun Dongcai and his wife, but worried about Lin Yifeng's safety.Although he knew that killing people would pay for their lives, he didn't want Lin Yifeng to suffer any damage because of this incident.
He pretended to be overly frightened and curled up in Lin Yifeng's arms, in order to tell the emperor that the person who was killed was a heinous crime, and he was the victim, and Lin Yifeng just saved himself.
Shen Lixin just asked someone to move a chair and sit in front of the bed, looked at Lin Yifeng for a while, and finally said: "I know everything."
Lin Yifeng suppressed his expression, and said softly: "Everything is done by the minister alone, and has nothing to do with him."
Shen Lixin smiled helplessly: "Do you think I will put you in prison for an insignificant person? Besides, that person is still treating Xiaohan..."
Lin Yifeng didn't react for a while: "Your Majesty?"
"Just put your heart back on your stomach, I will deal with this matter."
Lin Yi suddenly turned over, opened his eyes and looked at the emperor in surprise, Shen Lixin was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a soft smile.
"Xiaohan, I won't do anything to your brother."
At night, just as Yin of Shuntian Mansion fell asleep with his concubine in his arms, he heard a report from the housekeeper outside, saying that someone had knocked on the drum of grievance outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
Yuan Cheng, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, did not take it seriously, and was about to ask the yamen servant to dismiss the complainant, but the housekeeper whispered: "The defendant this time has a lot of background."
With a bright moon and few stars, Shangjing fell into a deep sleep.From Yuan's Mansion to Pingyuanhou's Mansion, several people used torches to clear the way along the way. Such a mobilizing scene woke up the people nearby. People secretly opened the windows and looked out. The whole street was illuminated like daytime. Well-trained people stood on both sides of the road holding torches, respectfully waiting for a middle-aged man to gallop past on a horse. In the dead of night, the sound of horseshoes echoed for a long time, faintly conveying a sense of nervousness and weirdness.
Yuan Cheng paced back and forth in the living room of Pingyuanhou Mansion, and after a while, he saw a stern young man coming from behind.
Pingyuan Hou Xie Changqing was just over [-] years old and served as the Minister of Dali Temple.Although the hereditary title of Marquis of Pingyuan is withered, only Xie Changqing of this generation has entered the official position, and he is a neither hot nor high nor low as Dali Temple Minister. The decline of Xie's family is beginning to appear.Waking up in the middle of the night, Xie Changqing's face was very ugly. He looked at the Shuntian Fu Yin in front of him, and said impatiently: "Master Yuan, you came here in the middle of the night, what happened?"
Yuan Cheng looked at Xie Changqing with guilt, and said cautiously: "Master Hou, something is wrong."
Xie Changqing sat down at the main seat, scooped up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, I just took a difficult case."
"It's strange. I haven't worked in Dali Temple for a few years, but Mr. Fu Yin has more experience than me. When encountering a difficult case, he doesn't discuss it with the officials of Shuntian Mansion. Why come to my house?"
"Master Hou, at this time, I really don't dare to deal with the relatives of the emperor rashly..."
"What the hell is going on?"
"King Zhenbei killed someone."
Xie Changqing's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, his heart beat wildly: "Is this really true?"
"It's absolutely true, the victim is said to be Sun Yi, the emcee of Dali Temple."
Xie Zhangqing was excited in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm. He took a sip of tea, and then dropped the teacup with a bang, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Zhenbei Wang Lin Yifeng dared to disregard the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and murder people in Dali Temple. I must report it to the Holy Majesty to seek justice for the unjust death of Master Cheng!"
Yuan Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Shuntian Mansion will assist Dali Temple in handling the case, and must give Hou Ye an explanation.
55.
Marquis Pingyuan has always been a member of the Feng family. His main wife, Yu Shi, is the sister of Concubine Yu in the palace. A large part of the reason Xie Changqing married Yu's daughter was to find a backer for the Xie family.Xie Zhangqing knew that the Xie family had the same interests as the Yu family, so the opponents of the Yu family in the court were his opponents, and the enemies of the Yu family were his enemies.So when he learned about King Zhenbei, the thought that jumped out of his heart was not surprise, but ecstasy.
As we all know, Lin Yifeng is a general who was single-handedly picked up by the emperor. The appearance of Lin Yifeng broke the long-standing balance of interests of the imperial court. He guarded the border with a heavy army. It seemed that he had nothing to do with the power of the court, but he only had a younger brother of the empress who lived in a high position in the harem. .Although Queen Lin came to power not long ago and did nothing, his existence is a potential threat.On this point, the young Pingyuan Hou Xie Changqing and Yongning Hou Yuye had already reached an agreement.The Lin Brothers had to be eliminated, but there was a lack of opportunity.
And now, God gave them an excellent opportunity.
Early the next morning, Xie Changqing sent his wife, Yu Shi, into the palace to find concubine Yu, and he sent someone to secretly send a message to Yongning Hou Yuye. There are no waves, but an undercurrent is surging, as if a big storm is brewing.
After the early court, Shen Lixin left Xie Changqing behind, and Xie Changqing honestly told what he had learned from Shuntian Fu Yin last night, and pretended to be frightened to ask the emperor's opinion.
Shen Lixin seemed to feel that today's Dali Temple Minister was different from usual, but he pretended not to see it and said to Xie Changqing: "The King of Zhenbei just chopped down a commoner who committed crimes, what is there to investigate? Besides, I heard that Sun Yi His parents are both domestic slaves of the Lin family, it is only natural to teach a servant's son a lesson, so don't make too much of a fuss."
Xie Changqing said: "Your Majesty, now in Shangjing, King Zhenbei is cruel and arrogant, disregarding human life. As far as I know, Sun Dongcai and Qin Zhen are not slaves of the Lin family, but guests of the Lin family. King Bei and Queen Lin still respect them as elders. Sun Yi is Queen Lin's cousin. He had a very good relationship at first, but somehow he became the soul of King Zhenbei's sword... This Sun Yi is also a master of ceremonies in Dali Temple , can be regarded as a high-ranking official, how can the King of Zhenbei kill officials without reason, how can it be handled as an ordinary case?"
Shen Lixin looked sullen: "Xie Changqing, how dare you disobey me? What happened to King Zhenbei?"
"The king of Zhenbei is a young talent, a hero of the time, and I have always admired him. It's just that as the Minister of Dali Temple, I have to act impartially. Now that King Zhenbei has just returned to Beijing, this kind of thing happened. It hurt the royal family's face when it was spread. It's really heartbreaking..." Xie Changqing looked indifferent, and knelt on the ground with his robe lifted.
Shen Lixin gritted her teeth and said, "If I say no, I won't. Xie Changqing, if you want to keep your head, just be honest with me."
Xie Changqing returned to the Marquis of Pingyuan, and Marquis of Yongning was already waiting in the study.He walked into the study quickly, and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of a landscape painting, as if he was admiring the painting.
Xie Changqing walked over and cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu."
Yu Ye was over forty years old and commanded the soldiers of the Jianmen Mansion to guard the capital, which won the trust of the emperor.The Feng family had been in power for many years, and it took Yuye a long time to contend with it.Before Lin Yihan entered the palace, he didn't feel that Lin Yifeng was a threat to him. It wasn't until Lin Yihan was proclaimed empress, and there were frequent news in the palace that the empress favored her and concubine Yu lost power, that he turned his attention to the Lin brothers. body.Seeing that the Feng family's forces are becoming more and more afraid of the emperor, and there are more and more officials from the poor family in the court, Yu Ye faintly feels that the crisis is coming.In fact, he was already secretly planning for the downfall of the Lin brothers, and there was an excellent opportunity in front of him.
Yu Ye first chatted with Xie Changqing about some homework, then changed the subject, and asked in a deep voice, "What does the emperor say?"
Xie Changqing knew what Yu Ye was referring to, so he smiled wryly and said: "The emperor is defending King Zhenbei. In fact, this matter is not big or small. Besides, I heard that Sun Yi is a lustful person, and he covets Queen Lin? Rong already For a long time, it is understandable for King Zhenbei to kill people in anger. Now that the emperor is trying his best to defend it, there is probably nothing to do about it."
Yu Ye glanced at him and said, "How can this matter be done as you said? You are still a descendant of Xie Hou... It's a pity that my daughter of the Yu family married you."
Xie Changqing was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Only follow Yue Zhang's orders."
"Stay the emperor for now." After Yu Ye finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.
Lin Yi returned to the palace with the emperor the next day.
Before leaving, he and Lin Yifeng looked at each other with tears in their eyes (pretentiously), until the strange black gas emanated from the emperor's body before he reluctantly let go and got into the carriage.
The first thing he did when he returned to Qionghua Palace was to ask the people who stayed in the palace what had happened recently. The palace lady Wanshuang told him that nothing major had happened in the past few days. It's rare to stay in harmony.
Just as Lin Yi was relieved, someone from the palace outside reported that the Queen Mother was looking for him.
The queen mother hasn't taken the initiative to find trouble for her since the Chinese New Year, why did she suddenly appear again now...
Lin Yi went to Xingluo Palace with anxiety.
In the main hall, Empress Dowager Feng was sitting in the front seat, and an acquaintance was sitting on her left.
Shen Ying is dressed very formally today. She is dressed in an ink-colored robe with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, and a golden jade crown on her hair.
After some courteous greetings, the palace man moved the chair to the Empress Dowager's right hand.
Empress Dowager Feng said: "The queen is also a man, so don't avoid suspicion, let's sit together!"
After Lin Yi sat down, he couldn't help but glance at King Qi. The man looked like a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his expression, polite but not much talk.
Seeing Lin Yi looking at King Qi, Empress Dowager Feng smiled and said, "King Qi of Yingzhou is the emperor's elder brother. Speaking of which, his relationship with the emperor is a little closer than Ai's family!"
Lin Yi said: "Really, I haven't heard the emperor mention it before..."
Shen Ying smiled helplessly: "This king and the emperor have some misunderstandings, but I have no chance to solve them."
Lin Yi said: "The emperor has always been magnanimous. How can there be any knots between brothers? Maybe he has already forgotten why he blamed you. His Royal Highness King Qi, please relax!"
Shen Ying said: "It's so good."
Empress Dowager Feng looked at the two of them, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to hit it off, so the Ai family can feel at ease."
Lin Yi looked at Empress Dowager Feng a little strangely: "By the way, Empress Dowager, why did you call me here today..."
Empress Dowager Feng said: "Earlier, the King of Qi told the Ai family that they had to ask the queen's opinion when thinking about this matter. King Qi has a younger sister who has been adopted as a righteous daughter by the Ai family. She has a gentle and virtuous personality. His appearance is also one of a kind, and he just turned 16 years old this year. Now that King Zhenbei is in the capital, he is not too young, King Qi intends to marry King Zhenbei, and promised his sister to King Zhenbei as his wife."
Lin Yi looked at King Qi blankly, blinked his eyes and said, "What's the name of His Highness King Qi's sister?" How come I haven't heard that King Qi has a "gentle and virtuous" girl? !
Shen Ying said: "My sister's surname is Meng Dan and her name is Yu."
Lin Yi almost fell over: Isn't that the tsundere girl Xiaoyu? ? ! !Where is she gentle and virtuous? ? ! !
Empress Dowager Feng added: "The emperor has already given the title Princess Yayu, how about it, is it worthy of King Zhenbei?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt a little powerless: "Actually, I also hope that my brother can start a family soon, but... I can't persuade him, and I don't know what kind of woman he likes...I have to go back and discuss this matter with my brother. "
The smile on Empress Dowager Feng's face froze, and she became a little impatient: "Queen, hurry up, if you miss a girl as good as Princess Yayu."
Lin Yi quickly showed a smirk: "No problem, I'll ask when I get back!"
When Lin Yi left, Empress Dowager Feng put away her smile and drank tea expressionlessly.
"The king of Zhenbei is just a servant who was promoted from the house. A maid is more than enough to match him, but the queen is still picky."
Shen Ying said: "That being said, this kind of matter is ultimately up to the emperor to decide..."
Empress Dowager Feng glanced at Shen Ying: "Your Majesty won't disobey Ai's family for such a thing."
Shen Ying smiled wryly: "Queen Mother, the Emperor will definitely not fail to guess the relationship. How could he agree to King Zhenbei to marry Xiaoyu?"
The king of Qi and the Feng family have the same interests, so Meng Yu is regarded as the power of the Feng family.Now King Zhenbei is deeply trusted and valued by the emperor. It's not that Empress Dowager Feng has never thought about getting rid of the Lin brothers, but he didn't expect the emperor to protect Empress Lin so much. The previous series of secret actions not only failed to bring down the queen, but also let the emperor down. Protect it even more.Later, Empress Dowager Feng thought about it, since she couldn't get rid of it, she might as well turn the Lin brothers into her own. This would not only make it easier to control Zhenbei King, but also solve the problem without losing a single soldier.
Empress Dowager Feng said: "In this matter, we can only find a breakthrough from the queen. As long as the queen agrees, the emperor will agree. King Qi, Aijia sees that you have a good chat with the queen. From now on, walk around with him more, and bring Xiaoyu with you. superior."
On the surface, Shen Ying agreed, but felt helpless in her heart: How dare I walk around with him again... I'll be blamed if the emperor doesn't kill me...
Lin Yi returned to Qionghua Palace, only to find that the emperor was sitting in the palace waiting for him.
He walked in and asked strangely, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Shen Lixin's face was gloomy, and he waited for Lin Yi to approach without saying a word, and stretched out his hand to embrace the boy in his arms.
Lin Yi was stunned for a while, and finally gave up after struggling for a long time. Anyway, he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary in broad daylight, so he lay obediently in Shen Lixin's arms, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"They're about to move."
"Who?"
Shen Lixin sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched the young man's cheek: "But it's okay, I will definitely do what I promised you, and no one should try to touch Lin Yifeng."
Lin Yi knew it clearly: "Did the ministers tell you something?"
"They want Dali Temple to strictly censor."
Lin Yi smiled: "Why? My brother is not wrong. If you want to be censored, you have to censor me. Who told Sun Yifei to ask Da Heitian to trouble me."
Shen Lixin looked at the young man, and said for a while: "If Sun Yizhen did something to you, I will never let him go lightly. Fortunately, your brother arrived in time, otherwise I dare not think about what will happen next...so I did not agree to them. "
Lin Yi said: "This is not good, let them investigate, anyway, we have a clear conscience."
"You don't know," Shen Lixin said, "they are not looking for Lin Yifeng, but they are dissatisfied with me. If they are asked to investigate, Lin Yifeng may not be able to keep him."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor. This guy usually looks like he is the only one who respects me, but he is also frowning?What the emperor has done is really tiring.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I went to the Empress Dowager just now."
"What did she tell you?"
"He wants my brother to marry King Qi."
Shen Lixin said: "They are dreaming! I won't allow it!"
"...Your Majesty, calm down..."
Shen Lixin let go of Lin Yi, stood up and paced back and forth: "They are forcing me one by one..."
Lin Yi said: "Even if the Empress Dowager wants to win over my brother, as long as my brother holds on, there should be no problem, right? Besides, my brother should get married too. Your Majesty, which girl do you want to marry him?"
Shen Lixin was taken aback for a moment, then said in a daze: "I... never thought about it..."
Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: Your majesty, don't you really want to bring Lin Yifeng into the harem? !
"It's just that Lin Yifeng can't marry the queen mother, maybe his life will be ruined!"
"……is it so serious?"
Shen Lixin said slowly: "I still remember how the first emperor died."
Lin Yi was startled, nodded and stopped talking.
"In the end, it's all because my brother is the King of Zhenbei. If he was just an ordinary general, maybe he wouldn't have these troubles..." Lin Yi lowered his eyes.
"What did you say?" Shen Lixin sat down beside him irritably.
"Your Majesty, maybe you should let my brother go, and you should let me go too."
"What?! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"That's not what I mean," Lin Yi leaned over and said patiently, "All the problems are because of my identity and my brother's identity, and now there are more and more people in the court who are dissatisfied with us, and things will definitely happen if this continues. Your Majesty, my elder brother and I are not good at fighting. My elder brother has an upright temperament. He is good at fighting, but he is not good at being an official... And I... You also know how many things happened in the palace these days when I entered the palace... ...I..." At this point, Lin Yi suddenly choked up.
"I'm really tired... Maybe for you, the position of empress is your favor and trust, but for me, it's just a target that everyone is looking forward to."
Shen Lixin's heart moved, the young man in front of him looked calm, but what he said made him a little terrified.
"You are my queen, and I will not give up this position to others."
Lin Yi smiled miserably: "If this continues, I'm really afraid that one day I'll die for no apparent reason..."
Shen Lixin hugged the boy: "What nonsense, I will protect you if I say so."
The young man was lying in Shen Lixin's arms, his eyes were covered with mist, and he looked like weeping.Shen Lixin suddenly felt heartache for no reason.
"If you really want to protect me, then... let me and my brother go..." the boy said to him.
After a while, Shen Lixin said slowly: "I will consider what you said."
A few days later, the emperor decreed that the commander-in-chief of the frontier defenders would be replaced by another general Zhou Yu from a poor family, and Lin Yifeng, king of Zhenbei, would stay in Beijing and wait for dispatch. In fact, he would be on an indefinite holiday.In the palace, Empress Lin Yihan was deposed from the throne because she offended the emperor, demoted to Xiuhua, and moved to the Hot Spring Palace.The whole court shook.
Spring comes early in Shangjing, and the hot spring palace has always been known for its mild climate and beautiful scenery.
Lin Yi was walking in the courtyard of the hot spring palace. Various flowers bloomed on both sides of the gravel road, and the fragrance of the flowers was wafting.Since he lived in the hot spring palace last time, he fell in love with the beauty and tranquility here. The emperor seemed to understand his intentions, and immediately gave the hot spring palace as a residence after being demoted, so that those in the palace who originally wanted to see the ruined and desolate The root of the tooth itches with hatred.
He didn't expect that the emperor would really listen to his opinion, not only abolished himself as the empress, but also withdrew Lin Yifeng's military power.Lin Yifeng was a little puzzled at first, but after Lin Yi called him to the palace to enlighten him, he was relieved. He usually stayed in the Zhenbei Palace, which was newly bestowed by the emperor, and did not go out. He only practiced martial arts and read military books, and lived a leisurely life. .
Lin Yi stayed in the hot spring palace all day long, returning to his old job and studying medical books. He occasionally called Cang Lin from the Imperial Hospital to give advice. The empress dowager's reprimand and the concubine's visit made life so comfortable.
Although the emperor told him that this was only a stopgap measure, he would restore his empress position later.Lin Yi thought helplessly in his heart: Abandoned is abolished, don't recover... Being a queen can't afford to be hurt...
In the middle of the court, after Zhenbei Wang Lin Yifeng was dismissed, the humble officials were somewhat depressed, and everyone's attention was shifted back to the struggle between the old powerful of the Feng family headed by the Queen Mother and the new powerful of the Yu family headed by the imperial concubine.
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at the prosperity in the courtyard and thought thoughtfully: Now that he was kept in the harem and became a real freelancer, he might be able to find a way to leave the palace.
The male queen rampage text 56 epilogue
After more than a month of leisurely life, Lin Yi stayed in the hot spring palace all day long, eating and drinking well, and gaining weight again. He insisted on running in the yard every morning. After a month like this, his energy has improved. less, and you won't be out of breath after walking a few more steps like before.This body was originally that of a 14-year-old boy. After eating and exercising more, his size has grown a bit, but he has the feeling that a boy of the same age should have.
Occasionally he looks in the mirror, sees a slightly heroic face that has receded a little bit of charm, he will giggle non-stop, thinking that this is the face I want, and when he grows up, he will be as handsome as man and god... But every time he A smirk will scare the palace people next to her.
At noon that day, after lunch, he took a walk in the yard to digest food. A lot of flowers bloomed in the flower garden, and the colorful flowers were very beautiful. He simply stood by the flower garden and admired it for a while.
Li Xiaozhong, who was following behind, saw Lin Yi silently looking at the flower bed with a pensive look, thinking that he was depressed, so he enlightened him: "Master, don't be sad, the emperor must still like you."
Lin Yi looked up at Li Xiaozhong amusedly: "Where did you see that?"
"You see that your food and clothing expenses are not less than before, and the hot spring palace where you live is envied by many people..." Li Xiaozhong approached Lin Yi mysteriously when he said this: "The slave heard that, The emperor has not been to other empress palaces for a long time..."
Lin Yi gave Li Xiaozhong a shock: "It's not good to serve the master, but it's more active to do other things. Who asked you to inquire about the situation in other people's palaces?"
Li Xiaozhong covered his head and hehe said: "The master is happy, and the slaves can feel at ease. The slaves care about the master."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Slick tongue, go and stay aside, I'll walk alone!"
"Hey!" Li Xiaozhong responded, turned around and retreated into the distance.
Although he has been staying at home for a while, Lin Yi knows a thing or two about what happened outside.Just one month after King Zhenbei returned to Beijing, news came from the frontier that the Turks split into two tribes, and the eastern part was commanded by the eldest prince, who moved to the northeast of the grassland and stayed away from the Great Zhou ever since.Most of the territory in the west was taken over by the third prince. Since the civil strife had just ended and the west was in a state of waste, the third prince decided to form an alliance with Dazhou and was ready to send a mission to Dazhou to Beijing.The messenger sent by the third prince said that in order to show his sincerity, the third prince wanted to ask a princess from Dazhou to be his concubine, and he would also send his own sister, Princess Saren, to the emperor of Dazhou.
This is good news for the Great Zhou. With the third Turkic prince as an ally, the northern border was freed from the flames of war, and the western Turkic barrier was eliminated. The Great Zhou could communicate with other countries in the Western Regions. From then on, it could concentrate on developing economic production. Have more energy to deal with other problems.The ministers in the court began to rejoice that the emperor did not agree to use troops.
During this period of time, the emperor was so busy that he naturally had no time to take care of the harem.
Lin Yi walked for a while, recognized all the flowers and plants in the hot spring palace courtyard, and then turned and walked back.However, before he could take a few steps, he saw the emperor in a black robe walking towards him from a distance.
Lin Yi was suddenly a little depressed: How can you say that Cao Cao will be there soon? !Don't be such a coincidence! !
He pretended not to see the man, turned around and walked quickly in another direction, with the wind whistling in his ears, mixed with the emperor's exasperated shouts, Lin Yi felt nervous, but he still didn't turn his head, and went straight into the hall.
The moment he stepped into the palace gate, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind him, encircling him tightly.
Lin Yi's heart was beating fast, and with something warm on his back, he seemed to be able to hear the steady heartbeat of the person behind him through his clothes.
The next moment, two pieces of warmth fell on the edges of his ears, and then something wet and soft passed by, and he couldn't help shivering.
"Xiao Han, why are you hiding from me? I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?" Shen Lixin bit the boy's ear lightly with her teeth, her voice hoarse.
Lin Yi's cheeks were a little hot, but he didn't dare to move, he just said tremblingly: "I... didn't see the emperor coming..."
"Call me by my name." Shen Lixin's lips brushed against Lin Yi's cheeks, lingering on his lips, and his hot breath sprayed in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and didn't speak, and suddenly realized that his body seemed to become a little hot.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Lixin didn't force it.Turning the boy's body to face him, holding that delicate face with both hands and gently biting it, watching the boy's bright eyes become misty and his body go limp.At the moment when the boy was about to collapse, he wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, hugged him horizontally, and walked towards the bedroom.
In the evening, Lin Yi woke up, screaming in pain all over his body.
The bedding on the bed was messy, but the person who messed with him before was nowhere to be seen.He cursed in a low voice, and struggled to get up to take a shower.
Li Xiaozhong was obviously very happy, and when he was helping Lin Yi get dressed, he excitedly said to him: "Master, this servant just said, the emperor will never forget you!"
Lin Yi had a headache and asked casually, "When did he leave?"
"It was half an hour ago... oh my master, when the emperor was leaving, he specially asked the servants to take good care of you!"
"Xiao Zhongzi, you were standing by the side at that time, you should have seen where the emperor came from, right? When he came, did he bring someone with him?"
Li Xiaozhong thought for a moment, and said: "It seems not, the emperor came alone, and did not bring other people. And... he walked through the side door."
Lin Yi nodded: The emperor actually learned to be sneaky...
Li Xiaozhong looked at Lin Yi: "Master, are you unhappy?"
"..." Try being xed alone to see if you can be happy? !
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and went to take a bath.
In the evening, I had a simple meal, and asked the maid to carry a lantern and go for a walk in the yard to digest food.
The gate of the hot spring palace was closed long ago, leaving only a small gate for the servants to pass through. At this time, a few strange eunuchs suddenly entered through the gate. Each of them held a lantern in their hands, and they looked like they were dressed in high-grade clothes. Very tall eunuch.
Lin Yi stood not far away, watching seven or eight people walk in, the eunuch in charge didn't smile, but still respectfully saluted: "Xiuhua Wan'an, the slaves are here to invite Master Xiuhua to go by order of the emperor. Qionghua Palace."
Lin Yi looked at the man and thought suspiciously: Since he came to the hot spring palace, the emperor has never asked him to go out. Besides, he just came here in the afternoon, why did he suddenly call me over at night...the one who went there was still unoccupied. Qionghua Palace?
He was calm on the surface, nodded to the eunuch and said: "Please trouble father-in-law, let me prepare."
Then he turned and entered the hall.
Li Xiaozhong had been eavesdropping on him before, but now he rushed over excitedly and said, "Master, is it true that the emperor is going to restore your post?"
Lin Yi curled his lips: "Who knows..."
Li Xiaozhong cheered in a low voice: "The emperor is finally merciful!"
Lin Yi glanced helplessly at Li Xiaozhong, then stepped into the inner hall.
He knew in his heart that if the emperor had something to look for him, he must have said it before, and he would not go to another place to go to other places. Besides, Qionghua Palace is the residence of the empress, and now no one lives there. Even if the emperor wants to find him, he should take it The location is set at Qingxiao Palace or somewhere else, not Qionghua Palace.
He could clear up the doubts in his heart and refuse to go.But he already had a plan in mind.
These days, being a rice worm in the hot spring palace, eating and drinking for free, although the life is comfortable and worry-free, it is really boring.He didn't imagine spending his whole life in the palace like a pig, and he was already planning his own plan to leave the palace.The situation in front of him is somewhat similar to one of the many plans he designed. This is an opportunity for him to take a risk and try.
Changing into more formal clothes, Lin Yi went out with a few eunuchs.
A group of people came to the gate of Qionghua Palace, and saw that the hall was brightly lit, with more than a dozen beautifully dressed women sitting in it, and the one sitting in the upper seat was Empress Dowager Feng.
Previously, Lin Yi was abolished and the Phoenix Seal was returned to Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng regained control of the harem with a lot of ruthless methods. Everyone in the palace felt insecure, but it became surprisingly calm.Since Lin Yi became Xiuhua, he never went out and was always honest, but he didn't know what made Empress Dowager Feng look down on him, so he called so many people to see him and was reprimanded.
Lin Yi thought helplessly, and stepped into the hall.He went forward to kneel down, but Empress Dowager Feng didn't ask him to get up, but said in a stern voice: "Lin Xiuhua, are you guilty?"
Lin Yi cautiously raised his head, looked at Empress Dowager Feng stupidly, and asked in a daze, "Queen Dowager...what's the matter?"
Empress Dowager Feng frowned, but she sighed and remained silent.
Concubine Yu next to her looked sad, her eyes were red at this time, she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Concubine Shi covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and she was already crying silently.
Lin Yi blinked his eyes: "Could it be... something happened to the little prince?!"
Empress Dowager Feng slapped the armrest vigorously: "Bastard, do you know that the first prince and the second prince were almost killed by you?!"
Lin Yi pointed at himself dumbfounded: "I did it?" What the hell, I forgot what the two kids looked like, okay? !
Empress Dowager Feng panted hard, staring at Lin Yi with angry eyes: "Tell them to scoop up the things!"
The two court ladies walked up to Lin Yi with trays, bent over and brought the contents on the tray to Lin Yi. Lin Yi looked intently, but found that there was a small figure made of grass on each of them. There was a piece of paper with the name and date of birth written on it, and several silver needles were stuck on it.
"..." Shit, don't always compare me with you bitches!If Lao Zhi wanted them to die, he would have already raised his knife to chop them up. Is it worth using such a sinister method? !Besides, as an atheist, Lao Zhi doesn't believe in this thing at all, okay? !
-- You... can't insult my IQ! ! !
Taking advantage of the time, Lin Yi glanced at the surrounding concubines, but found that those people also looked filled with righteous indignation, as if the person kneeling in front of him had committed a heinous crime and should be dragged out immediately and beheaded for public display.
Empress Dowager Feng took a breather for a while, and said again: "The eldest prince and the second prince are still ill, and this thing was found from under the bed in the Qionghua Palace. This court is most afraid of witchcraft, Lin Xiuhua, how dare you make such a thing ?!"
Lin Yi roared in his heart: Lao Zhi hasn't lived here for a month, okay? ! !
On the surface, he pretended to be sincere: "I really don't remember hiding this kind of thing. Besides, I'm no longer a queen, and I don't live in Qionghua Palace. I really don't know why this thing appeared under the bed in the bedroom."
Empress Dowager Feng said: "Since you said you didn't know, how do you explain the next thing?!"
and also? ? ?
Lin Yi's jaw dropped again, and he stared blankly at the two eunuchs walking in with trays. There were also straw figurines in their trays, but the names on them were the emperor and the empress dowager.
"These were found by the Ai family who sent people to the hot spring palace just now."
"..." Forget it, you can insult my IQ casually, I don't want to play with you anymore...
At this moment, the emperor hurried into the hall, his anxious eyes fell on Lin Yi, but he quickly regained his composure and walked towards Queen Mother Feng calmly.
"I've heard about it," Shen Lixin looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "How could such a thing happen in the palace?"
Empress Dowager Feng raised her eyes, and asked back: "How did the Ai family know? Your Majesty, if the Ai family hadn't discovered it early, you and the Ai family would have been killed by this monster!"
The emperor took a seat next to Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng told him about the witchcraft, and also called so-called witnesses to tell the story. In this way, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, and the investigation of the case was leak-proof, except for the suspect. plead guilty
