The king is the guide of the ministers

Yulou, how did you find it? "

Liu Ci gently rubbed his face against Xuanyuan Lingye, and said: "Huayulou, I knew about it a long time ago, Yelin told me when I was separated from you. As for today's matter, I will I had that idea during the idle time before the baby was born."

Chapter 199: What happened to us?

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Xuanyuan Lingye was full of preoccupations and did not feel tired at all.The lover curled up in his arms moved slightly, and Xuanyuan Lingye tucked him in with his hands.

Sliding his fingertips across Liu Ci's slightly round face, he leaned forward and kissed his forehead.

Xuanyuan Lingye suddenly had some nostalgia for the Liu Ci when he first met, but now seeing him racking his brains to eradicate dissidents for him, he felt very uncomfortable.

In the past, when we were unable to be together due to various obstacles, it was a luxury to be able to sleep in such an embrace.And now they have gone through hardships together, and the child was born safely, but why do I miss the past even more?

Has he changed, or has Liu Ci changed, or in other words, both of them have changed?

Standing up and putting on his clothes, Xuanyuan Lingye pushed open the door, and walked to Shui Xie's place unknowingly.

The white jade statue stood there alone, quietly.

Xuanyuan Lingye stretched out her hand, and stroked the slightly raised lips of the stone statue with her fingers.The cold feeling was transmitted from the fingertips to the heart, and in an instant, Xuanyuan Lingye understood what was different.

How long have you not seen his bright smile from the heart?

How long has it been since I saw him play carefree?

Xuanyuan Lingye raised his palm to cover his eyes, no one knew how bad he was in this moment.

"Your Majesty, why did you get up so early?" When Cong Mo came back from the Ministry of Punishment, he happened to see Xuanyuan Lingye coming out of Luochen Palace in a daze, and also saw him staring at the stone statue in a daze...

Congmo had to pay attention to Xuanyuan Lingye's abnormal behavior.

Xuanyuan Lingye didn't go to see Congmo, but heard him say: "Now I find that I am on the wrong path, and he is not happy, what should I do..." The deep voice seemed to be asking Congmo, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Cong Mo was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he also understood the meaning of Xuanyuan Lingye's words.

"I don't know what he was like before. But Your Majesty, he chose to be with you willingly. Perhaps, for him, being able to stay by your side is a kind of happiness. "

Looking at the Luochen Palace from the end of the speech, he saw the moment Liu Ci turned around.

Looking at the lost and sad figure, Congmo's first reaction was to turn his head to look at Xuanyuan Lingye.But Xuanyuan Lingye didn't seem to see Liu Ci, was it blocked by the stone statue?Never know.

Liu Ci knew Xuanyuan Lingye left behind.Seeing him staring at his stone statue in a daze from a distance, Liu Ci felt a little pain in his heart at that moment.Why would he stare at the stone statue in a daze when he was by his side?

Liu Ci didn't go forward to ask, nor did she want to ask.It is said that the pain of three years, the itch of seven years.But regardless of whether it was before or now three years ago, the total time we spent together in Xuanyuan Lingye was less than two years!Tired of me already?Or because I was too scheming and let you down?

Liu Ci didn't know how he walked back to the bedroom, nor how he was able to pretend nothing had happened in front of Xuanyuan Lingye.Is it because his acting skills are too good, or Xuanyuan Lingye didn't care, anyway, he didn't see the clue.

It has been raining in the imperial city since that day, and the continuous rain has lasted for half a month.

News came from a small neighboring town that a mountain torrent had erupted and flooded the county.

As soon as the news came, Liu Ci asked for orders to investigate the disaster area. Xuanyuan Lingye didn't want him to work hard, but Liu Ci insisted on going.If he couldn't hold back, he had no choice but to let him go to Lincheng.

On the day Liu Ci left, she hugged the baby for a long time.

When he rode his horse away from the imperial palace and the imperial city, Liu Ci didn't look back once.This time, there was no Congmo by his side, only a small team of 30 people and relief food from the court.

"Master Xiang, do you want to stop for a rest?" The head of the team leader saw that Liu Ci's expression was not very good.

Liu Ci glanced at the accompanying soldiers, and said: "If everyone is tired, we will rest. It's just that the disaster victims can't wait, we will delay for a while, and I don't know how many people will starve during this period!"

"But Master Xiang, your body is important!" The team leader was still worried, if the Prime Minister made a mistake, His Majesty would get angry after returning, this is no joke!

Liu Ci said lightly: "I'm fine, everyone don't have to worry, it's important to hurry!"

"Yes, Master Xiang!" With a loud shout, the team of carriages and horses rushed all the way to Lincheng without stopping.

When Liu Ci just arrived, before he entered the city, he saw two men coming to salute and said, "This is the famous Mr. Liu? Our husband told us to wait here. Please, Mr. Xiang!"

Liu Ci felt strange, although it was well known that he came to relieve the disaster, how did the gentleman know that they were here today?With doubts in his heart, Liu Ci left with the two men.

After walking not far, they came to a school, and a white-haired old man was standing at the door to greet him, only to hear the old man say: "Master Liu is here, I'm sorry to welcome you! Please forgive me! "

Liu Ci raised his hand and said, "How dare you! I don't know what the old man has to teach?"

The old man said: "Master Xiang doesn't know. There is a high mountain in the north of the city. There is no tree on the mountain. As long as it rains heavily, there will be a mountain torrent. Some rich people in the city spread rumors that the flood was caused by the You are angry with the mountain god on that mountain! So you must honor the mountain god."

Liu Ci frowned frequently.

The old man continued: "Therefore, it is stipulated that every household must pay for it. At this time every year, ten pairs of boys and girls will be selected, prepared for the blessing ceremony of three animals, and sent to that mountain to worship the mountain god. As a result, the people in the city are all complaining. .”

After Liu Ci heard this, she was very angry in her heart!There is no mountain god in this world!Therefore, he was determined to help the people in this city to relieve their suffering.

Afterwards, he followed the old gentleman to inspect the topography of the small town, and at the same time learned about some folk customs.Back in the tent outside the city, Liu Ci thought hard for a whole night, and finally came up with a clever plan.

"Master Xiang..." Outside the tent, the leader stayed for a long time, he was worried that it was too early, but he didn't dare to disturb Liu Ci.But the hot porridge in his hand was about to get cold, so he didn't care about anything, so he just yelled rashly.

"What's the matter? Come in!" Liu Ci's face was tired, but his clothes were still untied.

"Master Xiang, you haven't eaten a single grain of rice since yesterday. This is the hot porridge cooked by your brothers. You can drink some!" The leader put the bowl of porridge on the table in front of Liu Ci.

Liu Ci took a sip of the porridge, a simple bowl of rice porridge made him want to cry. "Today, you go to the city to distribute food. By the way, there is also a strong and honest person to come over."

"Yes, Master Xiang!" After the leader left for a while, he led a young man into the tent.

"Master Xiang, this kid is quite nice, he is honest and doesn't like to talk. He is also very strong!" The leader looked at Liu Ci with a strange gaze, he thought that Liu Xiang wanted to find a strong man to warm the bed.He thought to himself that he couldn't find someone who looked bad!So I picked and picked below, and finally found a good-looking young man!

When he was approaching the tent, he patted the young man on the shoulder, and smiled with ulterior motives: "If you are taken by the Prime Minister, it will be a great blessing! Don't forget to give it to us brothers. Say good things!"

The young man didn't speak, neither happy nor angry, just silently followed the leader into the tent.

Liu Ci looked up at the young man, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.Then he asked the young man, "What's your name?"

The leader saw Liu Xiang smiling, he was very happy in his heart, he knew that this kid was picked by Liu Ci!Looking at Liu Ci's beauty, he felt a little taste in his heart.If it weren't for his self-knowledge, he really wanted to recommend himself!

"His name is Shitou. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang. His biggest advantage is that he can't talk casually!" This kid can't talk casually, he doesn't talk at all!Like a dumb!

Hearing this name, the smile on Liu Ci's face got bigger.What he remembered was that extraordinary young man in Guo State.It's just that I didn't expect to go back to three years ago and meet him.The world is so small!

"Okay, sorry to trouble you. I will take Shishi out today, and I will leave the distribution of food to my brothers!"

Liu Ci is in a good mood now, and the exhaustion from a sleepless night is gone.

The young man also seemed to have sensed something different in Liu Ci's gaze looking at him, and stared at Liu Ci with his dark eyes, without any fear: "I won't do that kind of thing!"

Shitou knew that Liu Ci was pretty, but Shitou was unwilling to do anything.

Liu Ci was taken aback: "What's the matter? Have you misunderstood something?"

"Man, I won't be your man!" Shitou frowned slightly, and said it directly.

Pfft——haha——Liu Ci smiled and bent over, also crying tears.But I don't know why, but I feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable.

Looking at Liu Ci's red eyes, Shi Shi felt that Liu Ci's smile was actually crying.

Stopping her smile, Liu Ci solemnly said to Shitou: "Shitou, I don't need a male pet. I just want to find a helper."

Shi Shi stared at Liu Ci for a long time, then ordered
