Empress is a sick beauty

Yunyin took out two purses from his cuffs, which were embroidered with brocade, and a pair of twin lotuses were outlined with gold thread.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know what to give to Brother San? Huang, so I personally embroidered a purse for Brother San? Huang." Yunyin glanced at Ling Xi, "I rushed to make two, and I wanted Brother San? Huang to hand over to Ling. My lord? I didn't expect to see you today, and I just gave it to Master Ling?"

Ling Xi took the purse and looked at the exquisite embroidery. It must have put a lot of effort into it, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Yunyin covered her lips with a smile, "Lord Ling? You're welcome. From now on? Say? We're not allowed? We're a family? There's no need to thank you."

Ling Xi looked away, only to realize that her purse and Yun Yi's hand were actually a pair, and when they were together, they happened to be flowers blooming at the same time.

So... How many people are there? Know about him and Yun Yi?

"Thank you, imperial sister." Except for what Ling Xi gave, it was the first time that Yunyi accepted a gift from others so easily.

Yunyin saw that his complexion was better, and he was also happy, "Brother San? You don't have to be polite. Yunyin also wants to thank Brother San? for your help. It saved me from being implicated and also made Concubine Li's intentions come to naught. It's not too early. I won't bother you? Watch the moon."

After Yunyin left, Ling Xi remembered what she said just now, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Concubine Li?"

Yun Yi hung the purse on her waist, turned around and hung it up for Ling Xi, "Concubine Li proposed to the father to adopt the sixth younger brother, but the father did not agree."

There is no other concubine in the palace who can compete with Concubine Li. King Mu was demoted to a commoner, and the five princes guarded the mausoleum for life, so they all had no chance of winning the heir. Now only King Xuanxuan, King Yi and the sixth prince remained.Concubine Li, as the birth mother of King Xuan, if she holds the sixth prince in her hands, her chances of winning must be increased, and she only needs to deal with King Yi alone.

As for why the Holy Majesty rejected Concubine Li's request, needless to say, it must be His Royal Highness King Yi who used some tricks.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Ling Xi stared at the purse in a daze from time to time, not even noticing that Snowball was rolling beside him begging for attention.

"Young master, it's time to drink the medicine."

Ling Xi came back to his senses, picked up the medicine bowl and took it. The smell of the herbal medicine had already faded a lot.

"Master Ouyang? Do you like mooncakes?"

Xiao Zhong let out an ah, and hurriedly replied, "I like it, Master Ouyang? Say? It's delicious."

Ling Xi stared at him for a while, "But what happened?" After all, he has been with you for more than three years, and he can still see some clues.

Xiao Zhong shook his head in a panic, "No, there's nothing wrong, my lord, this slave feels a little uncomfortable, so I want to step back first?"

Seeing his absent-minded look, Ling Xi waved his hands, "Let Ah Jiu come over, you go? Take a rest."

The two little followers around him never could hide things, but all their thoughts and thoughts were written on their faces. Something must have happened to make Xiao Zhong so uneasy.

"My lord, did you call me?"

Ling Xi asked casually, "Xiao Zhong, does he have something on his mind? I think he is always in a trance."

"You think so too?" Ah Jiu looked outside and said in a low voice. "The servant also thinks that something is wrong with Brother Xiao Zhong today. He has been worrying about gain and loss since he came back from delivering mooncakes. He won't say anything when you ask him? Do you think it is with Mr. Ouyang?" "Related? Two people? Had a fight?"

In terms of the ability to inquire about these gossips, no one can compare to Ah Jiu.Ling Xi hooked his hands at him, and asked him to come over, "Continue to secretly stare at Xiao Zhong to see if he has met someone? If there is a chance? Make a side note? Check out the tone."

Ah Jiu nodded quickly, "Master, I think Brother Xiao Zhong..."

"I think he may have encountered a difficult situation, and I'm afraid he will do something stupid."

"Don't worry, son? I'll hand it over to the servant." Ah Jiu assured, patting her chest.

In the early morning of the next day, all the ministers gathered in the Dragon Cloud Palace, but they did not see the emperor's face.

All the ministers transferred to the Houchao Pavilion, and after a brief discussion, Prime Minister Cao left? How many people?, including Ling Xi.In the past, Ling Xi had never worked with the current prime minister, and most of them were just nodding acquaintances.Now the prime minister suddenly let him stay? Or did he stay in the end? Ling Xi felt that it was not a good thing.

The rest of them all left the cabinet. Prime Minister Cao finally turned to Ling Xi. At first he exchanged pleasantries with him, but soon changed the subject and handed him a memorial.

Ling Xi opened the memorial book. This is a letter of impeachment. The person being impeached is himself. As for the title, it is even more absurd. Someone actually impeached him for misbehavior.

Prime Minister Cao mused, "Of course I don't believe that Master Ling will do that, but this memorandum is presented, and the truth can't? I didn't see it. For the current plan, there is a way, Master Ling? Hand over the boy, and after questioning and confirming it, send it back to Master Ling."

Ling Xi closed the notebook, looked up and smiled, "The prime minister said? You laughed. Since it's a nonsense, why do you still let me go? The official handed over the person?"

"If Master Ling insists on this..." Prime Minister Cao put away his tactful face and said in a cold voice, "The truth has to be told to His Majesty, what will happen then? What will happen to us? No one can predict."

Ling Xi cupped his hands and saluted, "Then, my lord prime minister? Just follow the rules. The next official will wait for the emperor's will. If there is nothing else, the next official will leave."

No matter how ugly Prime Minister Cao's face was, Ling Xi put it down? After speaking, he turned around and left.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, he was stopped by Ah Jiu, who hurriedly led him to the back courtyard.

"What happened?"

Ah Jiu said out of breath, "Yes, it's Brother Xiao Zhong, he wants to die!"

When Ling Xi heard this, she immediately quickened her pace, and when she arrived in Xiao Zhong's room, she saw a man lying on the bed, with a servant guarding beside him.Ling Xi waved his hand, and the next person bowed and retreated.

"Xiao Zhong?" Ling Xi sat on the side of the bed, saw that his complexion had turned gray, and then saw the bruises on his neck, raised his hand to check his breath, and felt a faint breath, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhong, the young master is back, please open your eyes and see us."

While the two were calling softly one after another, Xiao Zhong finally opened his eyes, and when he saw Ling Xi, he couldn't help crying, "Master, I'm sorry for you, I'm guilty of this slave."

Ling Xi raised her hand to wipe away his tears, "Nonsense? What, what happened?"

Xiao Zhong struggled to get up, grabbed Ling Xi's sleeve, and said in a hurry, "The slave is guilty. It is the slave who has implicated the young master. Do you still remember saving the slave from the Nether Valley three years ago? In fact, the slave is the Nether Valley The bought slaves are tools for them to collude with the officials. The mission of the slaves is to serve various people? In the past, slaves must serve them well. If they? Dig out these things, it will definitely be bad for you, son."

Ling Xi listened quietly, no wonder the name of the impeachment is that he is a privately raised and entertained person? He behaved disorderly and corrupted the court.

"Did you go? Have you met someone you know on the way to deliver mooncakes?"

Xiao Zhong nodded his head with difficulty, "It's one of the people I once served? That person? He grabbed me when he saw me, and he made me fake it. Proof, tell me, tell me, son, you were with me at the beginning Nether Valley is entangled, say? You bought the slave from Nether Valley for pleasure."

This person? Since he knows that Xiao Zhong is his person?, he must have some knowledge of his situation, and is related to Nether Valley. He may have something to do with that cloaked man.

Thinking before? Thinking about? Afterwards, Ling Xi held Xiao Zhong's shoulder and asked earnestly, "Xiao Zhong, for the sake of the present, you can't stay by my side anymore."

The other party has come prepared and has real evidence. If he stays by force, he can't guarantee that he can protect him.Even if it can be proved that he and Xiao Zhong are innocent, Xiao Zhong's past will be announced to the world.

"My lord..." Xiao Zhong said with a trembling voice, tears were already falling like rain?

Ling Xi wiped his tears for him, "It's not your fault, but we? We have to make an expedient choice. Let me ask you, do you like Ouyang Ran?"

Xiao Zhong was taken aback by the sudden question, and then nodded slowly after being stunned for a moment.

"Well, I will? Send someone? To spy on him. If he still has this intention after learning all about the past, I will entrust you to him. In a period of time, you need to change your identity in? Live by his side." Ling Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry? You don't need to remain anonymous for too long."

Xiao Zhong sobbed twice, "My lord, my lord, Lord Ouyang? Will you accept me?"

"I believe he will." Ling Xi got up and said, "If you can't, let's think of other ways, so you can stop thinking about him as soon as possible."

Ling Xi's person? He sent a message to Ouyang Ran overnight, and the reply he got was exactly what Ling Xi expected.Ouyang Ran is Yun Yi's person? He has affection for Xiao Zhong and is an upright master. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him. He is the best person he can entrust to Xiao Zhong.

Prime Minister Cao's people came to the General's Mansion the next day to ask for someone. They asked all over the mansion, but they didn't know that Xiao Zhong was there.

Originally, there had been some signs of this matter, but not only could no one be caught, but everyone also insisted that there was no such person, making this letter a joke.Prime Minister Cao was ridiculed by the emperor for this.In order to appease Ling Feng and Ling Xi, the emperor ordered people to send a lot of rewards to make big things into small things and small things into nothing.

The fact that Xiao Zhong was sent away was done without anyone noticing, the reason why there is no trace, Ling Xi certainly knows that King Yi is also responsible for this.

As soon as Ling Xi said Yun Yi's name, the deity arrived at the general's mansion.It was tacitly shared between the two of them, and neither of them mentioned the matter of Xiao Zhong.

"What do Ah Yi think of Prime Minister Cao?"

Yun Yi thought for a while, and then said, "This person? He is old, treacherous and cunning. He has nothing to do with the harem. He has remained neutral all year round. Although he is not sure whether he is an enemy or not, he is definitely not a friend."

Ling Xi took it for granted, "I think that the current prime minister seems to have begun to lean towards one side."

"There are only two forces left now, and he naturally wants to choose one."

Ling Xi propped up her chin, thoughtfully, "Your Highness, I suspect that the misfortune of Ning Shangshu back then was the result of the combination of the Empress Palace and the previous dynasty. I think His Highness has already set his target on Concubine Li, What about the previous dynasty?"
