After Lin Xiaodong cleaned up the people around the little emperor, the other party obviously settled down a lot.

At least, he won't make any small moves on the surface.When he was in court, the little emperor was also mainly based on Lin Xiaodong's opinions, and when asked about his thoughts, he would only obediently answer "all according to Mr.", just like a puppet doll with no ideas.

This scene was watched by the veterans and hated in their hearts. If the sight could be turned into a knife, then Lin Xiaodong standing at the front should have been poked into a sieve long ago.

In a flash, it is the New Year.

According to the Jing Dynasty's custom, a family banquet will be held in the palace on New Year's Eve, but the little emperor is only 13 years old now, not to mention marrying a wife and accepting concubines, even he is still a child.The only ones who could spend the New Year with him were the maids and eunuchs in the palace.

So, following the nature of a child, he left Lin Xiaodong alone after a certain meeting, and asked in a half-anticipated, half-uneasy tone, "Sir, can you be with me on New Year's Eve this year?" Go to the banquet together?"

Of course Lin Xiaodong didn't want to.

There are strict rules in the palace, and all kinds of Manchu and Han banquets will be cold by the time the people below check them out. He keeps his promise in his own mansion, no one cares about sitting on the bed and eating while lying down. Why do you have to come to the palace for a cold meal after Chinese New Year?

But seeing the eager eyes of the young man after Mian Kuo, even though he knew that it was mostly an act, Lin Xiaodong silently swallowed the words that were on the verge of his mouth, but his heart softened.

"Okay," he said reluctantly, "I will be there on time for the banquet."

Seeing that Lin Dongqing agreed, the little emperor was also very surprised.

But he quickly raised a bright smile, jumped off the dragon chair amidst the exclamation of the eunuch next to him, came to the man, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Sir, let's agree." Already! What kind of food do you like? I will tell the imperial chef to learn it now!"

Lin Xiaodong lowered his eyes and met the youth's clear eyes.

The words of the little emperor are full of joyful emotions, just like a simple and unscheming 13-year-old boy.

Does Lin Xiaodong believe it?

Thaksin has ghosts.

The young man calmly stretched out his hand to help the little emperor straighten the crooked crown on his head. His cold, pale fingertips brushed against the young man's cheeks. Such an intimate and abnormal move caused him to become slightly stiff.

"Your Majesty, you are no longer a child," the young man whispered, his dark eyes seemed to see through the young man's thoughts, "Fortunately, the court meeting is over, and only the minister in the hall saw it, otherwise..."

The little emperor was puzzled, what does it mean that only one person sees it?Aren't there so many eunuchs and court ladies beside me?

But soon he realized that his little face turned pale: "First, sir, if you want to punish me, you can punish me, they are all—"

"Innocent?" Lin Xiaodong laughed softly, "Your Majesty is still young indeed. As an emperor, how can you say such innocent words? Besides, you are the king of a country, and you are only a subject, how can you punish you?" Woolen cloth."

The implication is that only those eunuchs and maids can be used for surgery.

After hearing Lin Dongqing's first words, all the eunuchs and maids in the hall had already knelt down, and those who were not mentally able to bear it were frightened and cried, but they didn't dare to beg for mercy at all, so they could only hold their mouths and hold back Terrified, lying on the ground trembling.

Alas, it's fun to scare children.

Seeing the little emperor stammering and unable to speak, Lin Xiaodong managed to suppress the bad taste in his heart, glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground with indifferent eyes, and said flatly: "Since your majesty is begging for you Alright, let’s forget it this time.”

Hearing a burst of grateful "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness", the little emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

But he secretly glanced at the face of the young man in front of him, and suddenly whispered: "Sir, you don't really want to punish them, do you?"

Lin Xiaodong's face remained unchanged: "Why do you say that?"

"Because you are not angry," the little emperor lived in the deep palace since he was a child. Although he was a prince, because the empress was not favored, and the first emperor was a power control freak, he was very taboo about his relatives interfering in politics, so he understood all kinds of things early on. Kind of human, "You're just beating them up for me, aren't you?"

In fact, the little emperor didn't know why he suddenly said these words. Obviously Lin Dongqing should be the enemy he was destined to defeat, but looking at the young man's slightly raised phoenix eyes and thin lips, the little emperor always had An involuntary soft-hearted feeling.

Damn, what a powerful minister, how can he look... so...

The little emperor couldn't find any words to describe it. He only knew that even the famous actor who sang for his father in the palace to celebrate his birthday was not half as good-looking as Lin Dongqing.

But this idea must not be known by the other party, he thought silently, how can Lin Dongqing compare with a mere actor?

Lin Xiaodong suddenly laughed.

His facial features were originally beautiful, and when he didn't smile coldly, they bloomed like spring flowers, making the little emperor dazzled for a while.

"Your Majesty," Lin Xiaodong said softly, looking at the little emperor who was so fascinated by him that he almost couldn't find the north, "I think you probably misunderstood my minister."

Next, he joyfully took the young man to visit the sky prison.

The little emperor: "..."

Hearing the screams coming from the cell, even though the young man tried his best to straighten his back and not want to be underestimated by Lin Dongqing, his frail body couldn't help but crumble.

Smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, he couldn't bear it any longer, and vomited out all his breakfast with a "vomit".

This time, the foul smell in the air was even more pungent.Lin Xiaodong coughed twice, looked coldly at the little emperor leaning against the wall and vomited loudly, a single look silenced all the eunuchs and guards beside him who wanted to step forward.

This way of educating children is of course not advisable, but Lin Xiaodong never really regarded the little emperor as a child who doesn't understand anything, and he won't grow crooked anyway, so it is naturally harmless to use some stimulation therapy appropriately.

Moreover, he didn't come here specially to bring children.

"This man is an assassin caught in the palace two days ago." After the screams subsided and the tortured person passed out, the man's calm voice sounded in the dark and dead cage, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you still have his face. familiar?"

He ordered someone to grab the prisoner's hair, and turned his hideous, blood-stained face towards the little emperor.

The little emperor only felt a wave of sour water churning in his stomach, but he still held it back. He stared at the man's face for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed: "Is he... from Prince An's mansion?"

He remembered this face, which was once an aide of King An, and he had even met him at a banquet in the palace.

"Yes," Lin Xiaodong said, "The identity of this person is not a secret, so he told us as soon as he was caught. It was Wang An who ordered him to assassinate you behind the scenes."

The little emperor panicked and said: "But father said that Wang An has the best relationship with him, and he will never betray him. Uncle Wang has always cared for me since he was a child..."

"Your Majesty, as a king, you can't think about your personal feelings. You should think about it carefully. King An is loyal to the late emperor, but is he really loyal to you?" Lin Xiaodong said persuasively.

But the little emperor still shook his head: "I don't believe it. It's impossible for Uncle Wang to betray me."

Unexpectedly, the assassin behind the two of them woke up at this time. Hearing this sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood, grinned ferociously, and laughed hoarsely: "Ignorant boy! You really don't deserve to sit in this seat!" , His Royal Highness King An is more suitable to be the king of the Jing Dynasty!"

The little emperor shut his mouth abruptly, stared at him with red eyes, and betrayed anger flashed across his face.

Still too tender.

Lin Xiaodong sighed in his heart, and put his left hand on the boy's shoulder naturally.This was naturally disrespectful according to etiquette, but the little emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at the elder beside him.

"Okay," the young man looked at the assassin who seemed to know that his death was imminent, but was still chattering towards King An, and smiled coldly, "King An is loyal to His Majesty, I already know who the master behind you is, The number of spies in the capital has doubled recently, do you really think I'm dead?"

The assassin's voice stopped abruptly.

After a breath, he glared at Lin Xiaodong, said with a ferocious expression, "You want to lie to me, don't you?"

"Cheat you?" Lin Xiaodong smiled, "I'm sorry, but you're an assassin, and you don't deserve my attention."

The little emperor's eyes lit up.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, Uncle Wang, he really didn't betray me, right?"

"No," Lin Xiaodong ignored the assassin's unwilling roar, and directly led the boy out of the cold dungeon, "Your Majesty is only 13 years old, and if I can't figure out the clumsy tricks that even you can discover, then this official It doesn't matter anymore."

He opened his mouth and opened his mouth, just about to say something, when he suddenly bent down and coughed violently.

The filthy air in the dungeon just made the young man's already fragile lungs worse. The little emperor watched a trace of blood slowly flow down Lin Dongqing's fingers, and his pupils constricted instantly: "Sir, are you alright?"

He looked at Lin Dongqing coughing heart-piercingly next to him at a loss, obviously he should be happy, Lin Dongqing is not in good health and will die soon, which means that he can take back his power as soon as possible... But seeing this scene, Xiao But the emperor only felt a dull pain in his chest, as if deep down in his heart he was extremely reluctant for this young man to die.

"It's okay." Lin Xiaodong slowed down a little, and wiped off the blood with the handkerchief he carried with him, "It's just that it's been cold recently, and I'm prone to coughing."

The little emperor said with concern: "Tianhan won't be coughing up blood, why don't I ask the imperial doctor in the palace to show you?"

"No, it's just an old problem." Lin Xiaodong glanced at him with some inexplicable eyes, and then the little emperor came to his senses, bit his lower lip in annoyance, and complained in his heart that he was too talkative.

But Lin Xiaodong still eased his expression, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said to the boy:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The little emperor looked at the young man smiling, and the annoyance he had just now was instantly forgotten.

He grinned hopelessly, this time there was no need to pretend to be stupid, because in Lin Xiaodong's eyes, the young man's whole body was like florets floating, and he was full of stupidity from inside to outside.

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

Sure enough, he still couldn't give this silly boy a good look.
