On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

"Your Majesty, Xiao Chen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, is asking to see you."

Xing Di's hand on the jade seal froze suddenly, and his eyes were like swords, pointing directly at the cold night on the ground.

Leng Ye heard the notification.His heart skipped a beat for an instant, but in front of the king, he had to pretend to be calm and knelt down straight, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed his nervousness after all.

Xingdi's cloudy eyes gradually receded, he raised his hand, "Xuan."

After receiving the order, Cao Youde leaned over slightly, then raised his whisk in his hand and said loudly, "Xuan, Xiao Chen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, has entered the cabinet."

Xiao Chen, who had just rushed over from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, staggered several times and knelt down in front of the curtain.

He didn't have time to change his clothes, the collar and cuffs were still wet, and his hair was a little crooked, which was obviously caused by hastily tidying up in the carriage.

"What's the matter with Aiqing entering the palace at this time?" Seeing people like this, Emperor Xing asked indifferently.

And Xiao Chen came in in a hurry.The first thing he did was not to reply to Emperor Xing, but to take a look at Leng Ye beside him.

Xiao Chen was carrying the news brought by the family boy in his heart, and seeing his son's serious expression, he instantly felt that a catastrophe was imminent. The idea I gave to the executioner was originally to lure the snake out of the hole and take it down in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the suspect would escape, please Your Majesty to punish, the old minister has no complaints."

Xiao Chen's impassioned confession was not without shame. Unfortunately, he has been isolated from the world for nearly two days. He heard that the only child in his family had an accident. A warning from Nighteyes.

There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and Xiao Chen realized something was wrong when his echoes faded away and he didn't get a single response.He raised his eyes, and saw Emperor Xing beside the desk behind the curtain, faintly revealing a harmless smile.

Seeing this smile, Xiao Chen gasped, and almost killed half of his life from fright.

He remembered that it was the same smile that Xingdi showed when he ordered the Lu family to be imprisoned.

But Xingdi himself actually smiled, "Xiao Chen, you are very well informed. Leng Ye just returned to Beijing, and you received the news that the repeat criminal was robbed?"

Hearing this, no matter how stupid Xiao Chen was, he should have thought it through thoroughly. He stayed in the prison with Shen Yanqing for three whole days and never returned home. When he heard that something happened to his son, he hurried into the palace, but forgot This matter has not been reported to the palace yet!

It doesn't matter if you have a private spy.

But what he asked for was related to the top secret of Emperor Xing!

Leng Ye was full of resentment at this moment, but after all, it was his biological father who came here for his life. He glanced at Xiao Chen, but he could only stretch his arms and plead guilty, "Your Majesty, the one who let the repeat offender go is one of my subordinates." For what you have done, the subordinates are willing to be punished!"

Seeing Leng Ye like this, Xiao Chen stretched out his two thin arms, tears streaming down his eyes.

But the "my son" that came to the lips could not be said after all.

Xingdi stood behind the rolling curtain and looked at the old and the young, singing together, clenched fists behind his back, his joints were already white, but the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, "You two want to sing to me. Is there a play?"

Father and son said in unison: "I dare not!"

Xingdi turned his head: "Leng Ye, do you still remember what you said when I allowed you to enter the jade unicorn?"

Leng Ye raised his head, and his resolute face was full of piety: "Remember! I swear by Leng Ye that I voluntarily join Jade Qilin. Since then, I will have no name, no family background, and I will only be loyal to Your Majesty and the country! Leng Ye always remembers, never fool!"

Xingdi's eyes swept over Leng Ye, and murderous intent was already in his eyes, but then he thought of the sixteen elites who suddenly appeared from Ye Qi, and his eyes finally fell on Xiao Chen.

Emperor Xing's tone was cold: "So Xiao Qing has forgotten the instruction of the Lu family?"

Xiao Chen's figure was unstable, and he kept his hands on the ground to prevent him from falling down.

After all, he had been in the court for more than [-] years, and he still understood the emperor's temperament, knowing that it was Emperor Xing who gave his son a chance.

Xiao Chen is timid and cowardly by nature, but as a father, he is strong and will not hesitate to burn the boat.

I saw him rubbing his knees forward with snot and tears, until he was under the pearl curtain, he said: "Your Majesty, Leng Ye does not recognize my subject, and I have no complaints! But after all, I only have this one son. Hearing that he committed such a serious crime outside, I really can't bear to see him leave before me, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, this time, the old minister was confused, and the old minister wishes to die and make clear his will."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he bowed down to the toe of Xingdi's shoe, and his whole body stuck to the ground, truly humble to the bone.

These words cleared up Leng Ye and sacrificed himself, Xingdi took a deep look at Xiao Chen, he had already made up his mind and was ready to leave.

But Xiao Chen said behind his back: "It's just that I have something important to do when I enter the palace at this time, and please allow your majesty to allow me to report to you!"

"Oh?" Xingdi raised his eyebrows and turned his head.

Xingdi's willingness to turn around proves that he still has a chance.

Xiao Chen was dehydrated again after being relieved, and his whole body was sweating profusely. He simply wiped his face with his sleeves before continuing, "Your Majesty, I came here this time to report that Changxing Houyue went to Dali Temple a month ago. Served, and handled a murder case."

The emperor hummed, returned to sitting cross-legged by the desk, and raised his hand to signal Xiao Chen to continue.

Xiao Chen swallowed a mouthful and continued, "It's just that Marquis Changxing really has no experience in judging cases, and the people of Xinxia have a lot of discussions about such an obvious homicide case as a suicide. For this reason, I had no choice but to invite him to the Ministry of Punishment. Lord Hou knew that There is a mistake, and the attitude of admitting it is very good, but this is a crime of dereliction of duty, according to the law, it is to be relegated to Shu Yipo."

"Then Master Xiao thinks how to deal with this matter?"

"Return to Your Majesty..."

Xiao Chen was about to open his mouth to answer, unexpectedly, Cao Youde knocked on the door again at a very inappropriate time, and walked in.

Xiao Chen had to wait for a while, and everyone in the room stared at Cao Youde.

Cao Youde smiled slightly, and quickly presented a memorial, "Your Majesty, Marquis Changxing sent someone to send a letter of apology."

Xinxia, ​​Changxing Hou's Mansion, Qing'an Hall.

Shen Yanqing was half-chaired on the couch, with one arm leaning on the low red sandalwood table, and the index finger and ring finger of one hand caressed the light golden cloud pattern on the dagger in front of him. His eyes seemed to be looking at the dagger, but in fact, he did not know how many mountains he had drifted over. Yun Luan, even though the servant girl was packing things back and forth in front of and behind him, he was still unmoved.

"Master Hou, it's better to put this fox fur outside, otherwise it will be hard to find when it's under the box."

Du Juan tidied up a snow-white cloak and put it on his arm, and entered the door excitedly, but Shen Yanqing didn't reply, so he had to approach and waved his hand in front of him, "Master?"

Shen Yanqing was taken aback for a moment, then she looked up at the little girl and said softly, "Then let's put it on the carriage first."

Du Juan smiled, "That's fine, Lord Hou's illness is approaching, this cloak can also be used as a quilt to keep warm on the road." After saying that, the little girl walked quickly to the door.

When Du Juan opened the door, it happened that Ying came back from the outside, and the girl hurriedly nodded, "Master Ying is back."

Shadow nodded and didn't say much. He waited for Du Juan to leave before entering the room. He cautiously retreated to the left and right, clasped his fists at Shen Yanqing and said, "Master Hou, I have sent the memorial to the palace as you ordered."

Shen Yanqing nodded, but saw that the shadow had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "You seem to have something to say."

Shadow has never been a troublesome person, from the fact that he has always turned a deaf ear to Su'e's requests, but now, he is hesitant to speak, and Shen Yanqing is also a little curious.

Shadow never talked much, and what he said hit the point. When Shen Yanqing asked, he didn't go around in circles. "My subordinates don't understand why Lord Hou wanted to save Xiao Chen."
