Aiqing always wants to commit the following crimes [Rebirth]

"My lord, it's my fault that I failed to protect the Eighth Prince. Please punish Yue Xiao!" Before Yue Xiao arrived at the Qinglin Palace, he met the Eighth Prince. play.

Just as Yue Xiao was going to look for him, an earthquake happened.Many trees fell down in the imperial garden, injuring many people, and Yue Xiao was also blocked by these fallen trees, unable to move forward.

Li Tingjun squatted by the pond to catch grasshoppers. When the ground trembled, he lost his balance and rolled into the pond, drowning in panic.

Everything calmed down, and by the time Yue Xiao found him, it was too late, Li Tingjun's breathing and heartbeat had stopped.

Yin Mingxi looked at Li Tingjun's bloodless face, lost his senses for a moment, and murmured: "Yue Xiao, it's not your fault, it's God who wants to kill me, God wants to kill me... .”

Yin Mingxi walked back to the cabinet hall alone, sitting alone at the head of the cabinet, his eyes lost.

Yue Xiao didn't understand the meaning of Yin Mingxi's words, but he saw the despair on Yin Mingxi's face, and his heart fell to the bottom.He hugged Li Tingjun's body and knelt in the square helplessly...

This sudden earthquake caused many casualties inside and outside the palace.Seeing that the aftershocks had all subsided, the remaining cabinet scholars returned to their seats.

At this time, Yin Mingxi had already started to read the list of casualties handed over by Chen Hai.

According to current statistics, a total of 21 people died and 87 were injured in the Forbidden City.Most of those who died were injured in the head by heavy objects and died.The injured, who fell or bumped, or knocked or bumped, will recover after a period of time.

When Yin Mingxi turned to the fifth page of the list, his fingers suddenly froze, and his face became ugly.She saw the name of the Fifth Prince Ling Wang on the death list, and Chen Hai also recorded the cause of his death - during the earthquake, he was hit on the head by a vase and bled to death.

Yin Mingxi felt that the temperature of her body was being pulled away bit by bit. In this life, what is God going to do against her?

"How's the situation outside the palace? Have the people from the Ministry of Officials and the Wucheng Bingma Division returned?"

Zhao Xianqiu replied: "The statistics are scattered, they have not been summarized, and some areas have not been surveyed. My lord, my subordinates feel that the situation outside the palace should be worse than inside the palace..." After all, how can common people's houses be Are the houses in the Forbidden City strong?There were many casualties in the Forbidden City, and it should be even more serious outside.

"Let's look at it when the statistics come back." Yin Mingxi closed his eyes tiredly, the remains of Li Tingjun lingering in his head.He was all her hope in this life, and now it was shattered.

"Xianqiu, if there are any casualties among the royal family or nobles, let them report in time." Yin Mingxi waited in the cabinet lobby, not eating or drinking, and kept silent.She estimated that with the manpower and material resources currently dispatched, all the casualties in the capital could be counted before sunset.

At noon, Chen Hailing brought some food from the imperial dining room, and a few older scholars couldn't bear the hunger, so they started eating beside them.Yin Mingxi closed his eyes and rested his mind, without even lifting his eyelids.

Zhao Xianqiu persuaded her: "My lord, several university scholars are eating, you should eat some too."

Yin Mingxi shook his head slightly: "No, I have no appetite."

As soon as her words fell, an unexpected visitor entered the cabinet lobby.Fu Yutong appeared outside the door and yelled loudly: "Such a big incident happened in the capital, and you still have time to eat? How sad would it be if the late emperor found out?"

Yin Mingxi opened his eyes and snorted coldly: "Master Fu didn't even participate in the discussion in the morning, so he's talking about me now, isn't he?"

The corner of Fu Yutong's mouth curled up, and there was some deep meaning hidden in his smile. He waved his hand and said, "Of course not. How dare you criticize Mr. Shoufu in a lowly position? I have some extremely important matters in my humble position, and I need to report to Mr. Shoufu." Fu Yutong said He shouted nicely, the one on the left was "Shoufu" and the one on the right was "Humble Job", but anyone could hear the sourness in his mouth.

He was also born in a cabinet family, so he was supposed to sit on an equal footing with Yin Mingxi, but Emperor Jianzhao was bewitched by some rumors, and gave the position of Chief Assistant to a 25-year-old woman!

"Oh? Master Fu, tell me, what's the important thing?" Yin Mingxi sat upright, with a posture of listening attentively, with contempt in his eyes.A disaster has struck the capital, and the capital is already in chaos, but she wants to see what kind of moths this man will make!

Fu Yutong didn't laugh like a smile, and didn't cry like a cry. He didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement: "The humble official came from outside the palace and learned two very important news. The second prince and the third prince were both in the earthquake just now. died in..."

"What?" The ministers next to him were taken aback when they heard what he said. They fixed their eyes on Fu Yutong's face, and still thought he was joking in their hearts.Two princes just died in the palace, and two outside also died?An earthquake wiped out the entire royal family?This joke is too big!

Yin Mingxi frowned, her reaction was different from that of the other ministers. She knew Fu Yutong well and knew that he would not take this kind of thing as a joke, so she asked, "Your source of information is true?"

"It's absolutely true, I ordered someone to bring the corpses here! Come, someone, bring the corpses of the two princes in, and show Mrs. Shoufu!"

Yin Mingxi looked at the two lifeless faces, and was stunned for a moment. It seemed that it was not Yin Mingxi who was going to die, but the whole Daqi!

"This, this..." Several Grand Scholars were stunned, beyond shock.

"What should I do?" Lord Lin Changxing, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to cry out. Not long after the late Emperor passed away, several of his princes also went away one after another.What the hell is this going to do?

Yin Mingxi sat silently in his seat, and everyone looked at her, but she ignored them all.The adults had no choice but to turn their gazes back and began to discuss: "Now, who should inherit the throne?"

"It is not appropriate for several princesses to marry far away from other countries."

"Among the brothers and sisters of the late emperor, are there any suitable ones?" A minister asked this question, and the rest of them fell into deep thought, obviously searching for suitable candidates in their minds.

Yin Mingxi stared at Fu Yutong's playful face, impatient in his heart, and said at this moment: "Okay, don't even think about it, go back and see your wife and children."

"Master Yin, how can we stay out of this critical moment?" Lin Changxing jumped up anxiously, and said angrily, "Master Yin, as the chief assistant, why do you speak and act so rashly?" Qian, if she hadn't been eager to kick Fu Yutong's people out, she wouldn't have promoted him at all.Well now, it's his turn to beat him up!

Fu Yutong watched them fight in the nest, drinking tea leisurely, and he wished that they would quarrel and fall apart in the end, and give him a chance to make a profit.

Yin Mingxi looked at Lin Changxing, suppressing the disgust in his heart, and said with a smirk: "I don't want you to stay out of the matter, but I want you to stay out of things you can't control. After the blood of the orthodox royal family is exhausted, who will the throne pass to?" , who will be the next king is decided by the clan, not just a few of us can make a decision by talking about it here!"

Yin Mingxi took a deep breath: "Okay, everyone, let's go home, go home and do something serious, don't waste time here!"

Zhao Xianqiu was standing beside Yin Mingxi, she could feel the anger beating in her lord's eyes.Lin Changxing by himself is definitely not worthy of such a big anger from Lord Shoufu, so she is angry because of the sudden death of the four princes?Or are you angry at the success of Fu Yutong's villain?

Before they could figure it out, the council hall suddenly disbanded.Yin Mingxi walked in the front, her palms clenched into fists under her long sleeves, and her veins bulged. What really made her angry was this uncontrollable and unpredictable situation.

Who will inherit the throne?What kind of person is he?Can he listen to his advice?Will you take the great affairs of the country as a trifling matter?

All this made Yin Mingxi have a splitting headache. After she returned to Yin's mansion, she locked herself in a dark bedroom.

Yin Mingxi could not eat or drink for three days in the "Little Black Room", and no one dared to call her.People in the mansion have to be careful when they pass by her door.

Zhao Xianqiu knew that when the clan selected the new king, the chief assistant would come out by himself.

The fact was exactly as she expected, the clan had chosen the new ruler, and Yin Mingxi came out of the "little black room" behind, and when she saw her, she asked, "Has Yue Xiao returned?" Yue Xiao was sent by her to wait news.

"Hurry up, we're on our way." Zhao Xianqiu replied.According to this hour, the clan has already announced the candidate for the new monarch. After Yue Xiao learns about it, he will rush back to Yin's residence as soon as possible and tell Mr. Shoufu.

"I'm going to get some food. Yue Xiao has come back and asked him to find me in the back kitchen." Yin Mingxi moved his fingers, and found that his fingers had been numb from the cold, and they were also abnormally black and blue.She clenched her fists vigorously, trying to wake up her fingers and make them more flexible. However, this cannot be restored with brute force.

"Yes." Zhao Xianqiu looked at Yin Mingxi's movements, and responded slowly.The words in her mouth were about to slip out, but she swallowed them back.She knew that no one else could shake any decision Master Yin made, so she thought about it and gave up.

There is a room in the back kitchen dedicated to Yin Mingxi, which is usually not locked, but no one except her will step into it privately.She was so silent that there was no trace of life. After staying in that dark room for a long time, the blood in her whole body seemed to be frozen, and her hands and feet were cold.

With some difficulty, she stuffed a ball of hay into the stove door, then struck a match, staring at the cluster of sparks that suddenly burst out.Sparks lit her eyes, and she saw the breath of fireworks.

She lit the dry grass, and soon the flames spread, and a large area of ​​fire light reflected on Yin Mingxi's face.The scorching breath emanated from the stove, and she felt that the blood in her whole body was driven by this heat and began to circulate normally.

Yin Mingxi continued to stuff some firewood into the stove door, got up after the flame stabilized, and began to skillfully wash, chop and stir-fry vegetables.

When Yue Xiao came back, she had just served a bowl of hot noodles and was about to sit down and eat.Seeing the news, she put away the bowls and chopsticks, looked at Yue Xiao quietly, and asked, "Who is the new ruler?"

Yue Xiao answered truthfully: "Li Mengting, the owner of Yun'an County in Prince Ning's Mansion?"

"Li Mengting?" Yin Mingxi chewed the name in her mouth, and then searched for the memory of this person in her brain, and then she found that she knew nothing about this person.

"Have any ministers mentioned this person, what kind of person is she?" It was not only Yue Xiao who was waiting for the news, but also many high-ranking officials and ministers.According to Yin Mingxi's explanation, Yue Xiao deliberately stayed for a while after listening to what the ministers had said.

"I heard that this person has never read any books and is illiterate...he can't write clearly. He grew up in the mountains."

Illiterate, ignorant, can you be king?

Yin Mingxi was lost in thought.

The author has something to say:

Li Mengting: I am very capable and I will appear soon~
