After I retired, I became Shadow Guard's little wife

"Okay, let's talk." Xuan Jing turned around and asked.

Li Wei had already stood up from the ground, but his arm hurt from Qiao Mo's slap. He was kneading silently for himself when he heard Xuan Jing ask him, and his subordinates stretched their strength if they didn't pay attention, and grinned in pain. , still dare not make a sound.

Li Wei shrank his neck and whispered back: "Say...what are you talking about."

Didn't he say everything that should be said?It was Li Siqi who instructed him to talk nonsense.

Xuan Jing looked at him with a half-smile, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, until Li Wei's frightened legs trembled again before he said, "Tell me how you escaped from the palace?"

"I don't understand what you said." Li Wei took a step back subconsciously.

Qiao Mo didn't give him a chance, kicked him hard, and fell to the ground on all fours.

Li Wei wanted to stand up again, but before he could stand upright, he was kicked in the calf again and fell to his knees on the ground.

"If you don't understand anymore, I don't mind having someone teach you." Xuan Jing turned cold. He came from time travel, but in the past ten years with the addition of imperial power, it is more than enough to cultivate an imposing prince.

Li Wei was so frightened that he was about to break out in a cold sweat. The floor under his knees was hard and unbearable, and his knees hurt when he knocked on it suddenly. He hadn't been so scared in five years.

Seeing that it was useless to pretend to be stupid, Li Wei had no choice but to explain everything in detail.

He escaped from the palace five years ago.

In that winter five years ago, Zhaoyang Palace underwent a big change. Except for the chief eunuch Wang Lin, almost all of them were replaced, or executed or transferred to the handyman's room. .

The reason was that one of the servants around the emperor had sneaked out of the palace. Li Wei was just a little eunuch cleaning outside the palace at that time. He was caught by a group of guards and thrown to the Punishment Department for torture without knowing anything. He asked him if he had seen someone .

But he is just a little eunuch cleaning, let alone not being able to see it, even if he saw it, he would not dare to look directly at the nobleman's face, this palace is strictly hierarchical, no matter who passes by, he has to kneel on the ground and salute, how dare he look up look at others.

But the people in the Department of Punishment did not listen to his explanation. They only knew that His Majesty ordered them to torture the palace servants of Zhaoyang Palace. They must ask for something. How could they listen to him, a little eunuch who sweeps the house? It only took three days , Li Wei was beaten to death and thrown into the wilderness.

But his life is cheap, but his life is big. Although he was beaten to the last breath, he did not die in the end. He was saved by the father of the Li family brothers.

Li's father didn't want to go out in the twelfth lunar month of winter, but he missed it that day. Li Siyi fell ill and had a high fever. The doctor he hired from the city prescribed a prescription and sent him back. cry for help.

People are most likely to soften their hearts in the middle of the night. Father Li thought that even if it was to accumulate blessings and virtues for his youngest son, he dragged Li Wei into his carriage and rescued him. Li Siyi's illness was mostly cured the next day, and Li's father thought that Li Wei might be a lucky star, so he kept him and claimed that Li Wei was the big brother he had lost since he was a child.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Xuan Jing to speak. He didn't dare to look up. The unforgettable fear five years ago was like a gangrene, and he would never forget it.

Xuan Jing pondered for a while, and asked, "Did you recognize me just now?"

The implication is that you recognized the king, so you changed your confession?

Li Wei was silent for a moment before saying yes.

Xuan Jing didn't say a word, even after ten years of transmigrating, he still can't get used to this kind of thing, human life is cheap, imperial power is high, everyone has their own plans under the balance of interests, the so-called life-saving grace is nothing more than that, for Save your own life, even if it is the son of the savior, you still betray him.

After a long time, Xuan Jing asked: "Who was the one who betrayed the emperor and escaped from the palace five years ago?"

"I don't..." Li Weigang said two words and then quickly changed his words: "I don't know, maybe it's the adult who is serving me closely."

Xuan Jing thought for a while, and then said: "I don't want your life, you just stay here, I will still need you in a few days." After speaking, he said to Qiao Mo: "Tie people to the firewood room first. "

Li Wei just wanted to ask him what to do, but Qiao Mo gagged him and dragged him to the woodshed.

Xuan Jing sat on the chair and meditated, tapping his fingers on the table meaninglessly. Li Wei probably didn't finish explaining, but it doesn't matter, he will have plenty of ways to get Li Wei to explain everything in detail later.

What is difficult is the attitude of the emperor.

He couldn't figure out Xuan Luo's attitude.

Before leaving the palace, Xuan Luo made up his mind to promise Han Siwan to him, so that he would not accept Qiao Mo. He probably understood that Xuan Luo was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, afraid that he would be betrayed in the end like him. , in pain.

He came to Nanshan Town in order to unravel Xuan Luo's knot, and also so that Xuan Luo could accept Qiao Mo more smoothly and not force him to marry Han Siwan, and wanted to find out the truth about that matter.

But the truth was almost in front of his eyes, and he felt timid again.

Xuan Luo is not him, he has not received future education, he is just a prince who grew up under the feudal system since he was a child, and later became the emperor of ten thousand people, can he accept such outrageous things?

If he accepts, the matter of Xuan Jing and Qiao Mo will also have a turning point, and the emperor may agree to remove Qiao Mo from the Royal Shadow Guard and give him a marriage.

But if he couldn't accept it, would the many people implicated become souls killed by the sword and become tools for the emperor to vent his anger?

Xuan Jing was hesitant, so he had to decide to stay with Li Wei for a few more days, and after he made up his mind, he forced Li Wei to vomit the secrets of five years ago.

Xuan Jing had a headache from thinking about it, so he had to close his eyes to refresh himself. When Qiao Mo came back, he saw his master frowning and closing his eyes, looking uncomfortable.

"Does the master have a headache?" Qiao Mo asked eagerly: "The subordinates go down and ask the doctor."

"No, I'll just sit down for a while." Xuan Jing pulled off Qiao Mo's sleeve and pulled him back.

Qiao Mo was still worried, he stood behind Xuan Jing, and lightly covered Xuan Jing's head with his fingers: "I will press the master."

"Ah."

After pressing for a while, Xuan Jing really felt a lot better. Qiao Mo's technique may not be very clever, but it is the most suitable for him. It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. , even if Xuan Jing didn't do anything, he felt happy when he saw Xuan Jing.

"Okay," Xuan Jing said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Only then did Qiao Mo stop, and there were only the two of them left in the room. Han Siwan was still making pickled plums in the kitchen, and Zhou Xiaobao was playing with horses in the backyard. Thinking of his plan, Qiao Mo inexplicably gained a lot of courage.

He didn't forget that he had to please the master, and he had to make the master unable to do without him before Miss Han became the mistress.

But he still remembered that the master seemed a little unhappy when he recommended the pillow mat last time, so he guessed that the master probably didn't like him being so proactive.

This is a bit difficult, how can you please if you don't take the initiative?

Qiao Mo was debating whether to take the initiative or not to please, and Xuan Jing was not idle.

Li Wei has been found, and Zhou Xiaobao is almost as good as him, and he is still seven or eight days away from returning to Beijing. He has to think of a way to make Qiao Mo like him.

At least some progress should be made.

But now in broad daylight, the world is clear, even though the room can be heard quietly, but he really can't do it in the daytime.

Then, we can only take advantage of words first.

"Mo Mo." Xuan Jing suddenly broke the silence.

"Master, please order."

"Do you have someone you like?" Xuan Jing asked.

Of course this is not the case, Qiao Mo immediately knelt down to express his loyalty: "Subordinates are only loyal to their masters."

"I'm asking if you have someone you like." Xuan Jing emphasized.

Qiao Mo replied sternly: "Master, no," he added: "Subordinates are only loyal to the master."

What does liking have to do with loyalty, Xuan Jing complained in his heart, I want to do you, not want you to do things.

"No?" Xuan Jing purposely asked, "Then you hate me?"

This, this, where to start, Qiao Mo was a little at a loss, did the master's words of liking and disliking mean what he thought?

"Subordinate, naturally this subordinate does not hate you."

Xuan Jing smiled triumphantly: "Then you like me." Before Qiao Mo could respond, he asked happily, "You didn't refute when I called you husband today, did you finally agree to me?"

Isn't that what you said that you are not allowed to kneel in front of outsiders, and you are not allowed to refute and hold hands?Qiao Mo wanted to say that subconsciously, but then he remembered that it was his master in front of him, so he held back, his face turned red.

After a while, he said: "This subordinate dare not."

Seeing his expression, Xuan Jing suddenly stood up and took a look outside, making sure that Han Siwan and Zhou Xiaobao were not eavesdropping in the corner, and then closed the doors and windows with confidence.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed. Qiao Mo was not sure what the master was thinking, so he looked up quietly, but he happened to meet the master's gaze, with a look of great interest.

Qiao Mo lowered his head again in a panic.

Xuan Jing looked Qiao Mo up and down, and the person who looked at him felt uncomfortable before he said: "I was joking just now, but Mo Mo, I was not joking when I said I wanted you to be my husband, I really like you."

"I have never used power over you, so you don't have to worry about what I will do to you, but since you have no one you like, and I happen to like you, why don't you try to like me too?"

"What I want is not the kind of liking that is so loyal that I want to go to bed," Xuan Jing emphasized: "It's the kind of liking that I like so much that I can't help it."

Qiao Mo didn't understand what it meant. He didn't understand the difference between a bed servant's liking and an uncontrollable liking. He only knew that when the master called him Husband now, he was no longer as scared as before.

He even felt a little complacent when he heard his master call him that today.

But why does the master like a tough man like him? It is obvious that the gentle and soft jade like Miss Han is the most attractive.

After a long time, Qiao Mo raised his head and asked Xuan Jing hesitantly, "What does the master want me to do?"
