Midday on the moon.

The biting cold wind blew through the banquet, and hearing the low coughing of the young man beside him, Jing Ji felt a little restless.

He didn't understand why the queen mother had to eat outside in winter?

As if sensing the little emperor's anxiety, the Empress Dowager Changfeng glanced at her son calmly, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

After Jingji pursed her lips and lowered her head, she looked away in satisfaction, turned her head to the young man who had been silent since she took the seat, and said, "Lord Lin has worked hard. Your Majesty is still young, and this year is an eventful year. We orphans Widowed mothers, please take care of them.”

Lin Xiaodong said neither humble nor overbearing: "The empress dowager is serious, I just did my duty as a minister, that's all."

Empress Dowager Changfeng smiled, waved her hand, and ordered the maid to bring him a bowl of bird's nest.Lin Xiaodong thanked the Empress Dowager in a low voice, held the white porcelain bowl that could only be regarded as warm with both hands, and his gesture was very respectful, but no one could fault it.

"By the way, Master Lin," just as he was picking up the spoon, the queen mother mentioned another matter intentionally or unintentionally, "I heard that you took your majesty to the prison before?"

Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to put down the spoon, and said sternly: "Exactly. The assassin claims to be a member of King An's family, so this is a big matter. Although I have made a decision in my heart, it is not easy to handle it alone."

The Empress Dowager Changfeng frowned fiercely, and her words also carried a bit of indifference to the teacher: "But your majesty is only 13 years old this year! It's not like you don't know where the sky prison is. How can you let the Ninth Five-Year Lord go to that kind of dirty?" A place to marinate?"

"When the first emperor was alive, he once told his ministers that the crown prince is the future of the Jing Dynasty, and he must shoulder the livelihood of the people in the world." Lin Xiaodong pulled the dead previous emperor out to pull the banner, "I think the prison is a prison Where the criminals are located, there is nothing wrong with letting His Majesty know that severe punishments are severe and that a ruler should be lenient to the people."

The Empress Dowager Changfeng choked, and finally could only say bitterly: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Master Lin is really eloquent."

Lin Xiaodong smiled slightly: "The Empress Dowager is absurd."

There was a moment of silence.

Seeing that the woman on the opposite side stopped talking, Lin Xiaodong lowered his head, took a spoonful of bird's nest and put it into his mouth.

Good ice.

He frowned slightly. Because of the severe cold weather, the originally warm bird's nest had completely turned into a bowl of ice powder in just a short while of talking. Lin Xiaodong felt numb at the base of his tongue and throat There was an itching in the depths.

The young man put down the spoon, covered his lips with fists, and coughed a few times in a low voice.

Probably seeing his weak appearance, the Empress Dowager Changfeng who had calmed down said again: "Master Lin, why doesn't he eat? Is it not to your liking?"

Lin Xiaodong lowered his eyes and said, "No, it's just that I'm a little full."

"But I don't think Mr. Lin ate much," said the Empress Dowager Changfeng, receiving a slightly puzzled look from the young man.She immediately grimaced, and began to change the subject calmly.

"However, since the sky prison is mentioned, Master Lin, do you have any clues about the origin of that assassin?"

Lin Xiaodong nodded.

"Oh?" The smile on the Empress Dowager Changfeng's face deepened, "You might as well talk about it."

But when she met the young man's dark eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, she couldn't help but thump in her heart.

No, it's impossible, she thought, it's impossible for Lin Dongqing to guess!

And even if he really doubted it, no one would believe it, let alone find evidence!

"I think the Queen Mother should already know who is behind the scenes." Lin Xiaodong coughed twice, staring at the woman's forced calm expression and smiling slightly.

"Lin Dongqing! What do you mean by that?!"

The Empress Dowager Changfeng opened her eyes wide and slapped the table hard.

The bowls and chopsticks on the table were all shaken violently, and the maids and eunuchs who were shivering all around held their breath, not daring to breathe.

Under the tablecloth, Jing Ji clenched his fists tightly and hung his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Xiaodong noticed his appearance, Qingqing sighed, picked up the chopsticks that fell off the table and put them back where they were, and took back the words that had come to his lips.

"I made a slip of the tongue," he said flatly, "The empress dowager made atonement."

The little emperor suddenly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were a little red.

But the Empress Dowager Changfeng didn't notice the undercurrent between the two people at all. Seeing Lin Xiaodong backing down, she thought Lin Dongqing was guilty, and her arrogance immediately overwhelmed her guilt.She sneered: "Lord Lin, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. I am His Majesty's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Jing Chao, are you going to expose such a serious accusation in a light sentence? ?”

Jing Ji couldn't help but said: "Mother!"

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with you." But the Empress Dowager Changfeng didn't save her son any face. In her opinion, what does a 13-year-old know?Even the emperor is the same, she is destined to become the most noble woman in the entire Jing dynasty, even the emperor has to respect her!

Lin Xiaodong calmly said: "Then how are you doing, my lady?"

"Kneel down." Empress Dowager Changfeng said.

Jing Ji suddenly stood up from his seat: "Mother, Mr. has already apologized, so please don't—"

Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he watched Lin Xiaodong stand up in disbelief, walk to the open space, and kneel down on his knees indifferently.

The young man shook his long sleeves and bowed deeply to the ground.

He was silent the whole time.

"First, sir, you..."

Jing Ji stammered and spoke, his mind turned into a mess.

Lin Dongqing actually knelt down! ?

Even the Empress Dowager Changfeng parted her red lips in surprise. She intended to embarrass Lin Dongqing, but she didn't expect the young man to be so obedient, kneeling when he said kneeling.

"Ding, good person card +1."

A crisp voice rang in Lin Xiaodong's ears, it was the automatic reminder program left by the system.At the same time, the Empress Dowager Changfeng's somewhat relaxed voice also sounded: "Since you know your mistake, then Mr. Lin, let's get flat."

This Lin Dongqing is indeed a young talent who can bend and stretch, she thought regretfully, it is a pity that people who cannot be used by my son can only be stumbling blocks that must be removed on the way forward for their mother and son.

But the young man didn't move.

He still maintained this posture, kneeling motionless on the bitingly cold stone bricks.On New Year's Eve, light snow fell on his shoulders and thin back, making the youth look like a sculpture.

"Master Lin, I've already said I'm flat, why don't you afford it?"

The Empress Dowager Changfeng finally realized something was wrong, her eyes flickered, and she unconsciously raised her voice.

"Because of this kneeling, I'm not aiming at you." Lin Xiaodong stood up slightly, without looking at her, just looked at a stone brick in front of him and said indifferently, "I'm kneeling for Your Majesty."

Jing Ji asked in surprise, "Why did you kneel down to me, sir?"

The Empress Dowager Changfeng sneered and said, "Mystery! I..."

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed.

The dense rain of footsteps came from outside the wall, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding.

Amidst the screams and shouts of the maids and eunuchs, a group of guards in fine iron armor surrounded them.

The Empress Dowager Changfeng suddenly got up, pointed at Lin Xiaodong who was still kneeling on the ground, and cursed: "Lin Dongqing! What a rebellious and rebellious minister! What do you want to do?"

Lin Xiaodong slowly got up from the ground, there was nothing he could do, the ground was too cold, he had already lost feeling in his knee after kneeling for such a short while.He ignored the Empress Dowager Changfeng's shout, but turned his head to look at the little emperor who was staring at him. The two looked at each other, and then the young man took the initiative to look away.

"Come here," he said, "The Empress Dowager is suffering from insanity. She sent assassins to harm Her Majesty, and sent her to Fengning Palace to recuperate. Without my permission, no one else is allowed to step in."

"Yes!"

Seeing that she was about to be forcibly dragged away by the soldiers, the Empress Dowager Changfeng struggled desperately. Before being dragged away, she shouted towards the young man with disheveled hair: "You will not end well! Lin Dongqing, I am waiting for you to go to hell! "

Jing Ji stood there blankly. He saw that his mother was taken away and imprisoned without any manners. He just wanted to plead with the young man in front of him, but when he saw Lin Dongqing's eyes as cold as a knife, his face turned pale instantly.

He almost forgot about the warm scene on the palace road before. The young man in front of him is a powerful minister under one man and above ten thousand in Jing Chao.

And in his eyes, does he really have himself as the emperor?

Jing Ji clenched his back molars tightly and said nothing.

Lin Xiaodong just glanced at him and knew that this brat was playing tricks again, but he didn't have the intention to explain now, the young man flicked his sleeves, said "send your majesty back to the palace" and left the messy scene .

Jing Ji stared at his ruthlessly receding back.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky outside the imperial city. It was supposed to be a family reunion on New Year's Eve, but he was forced to separate from his mother...Although Lin Dongqing didn't kill him tonight, what about the future?Could he just be a puppet sitting on the dragon chair, manipulated by the other party for a lifetime?

The nails were deeply embedded in the palm of the hand, the little emperor took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head without looking back under the careful inquiries of the eunuchs around him, and strode towards the direction with his back to the young man leaving, leaving himself alone Shut up in an empty palace.

Outside the palace walls.

Lin Xiaodong, who strode out, stopped abruptly.

The captain of the Imperial Guard behind him looked at him in confusion: "Master Lin, what are you doing—Master Lin!?"

He watched in panic as the young man in front of him arched his body, covered his lips and coughed heart-rendingly, and even vomited blood!

"Master Lin, what's the matter with you? I'll call the imperial doctor for you!"

"No, go back... back to the Lin Mansion," Lin Xiaodong grabbed his arm, "he was poisoned...but don't let His Majesty know."

fortunately.

Before completely losing consciousness, Lin Xiaodong thought with emotion, luckily the bowl of bird's nest was cold and tasteless, so he ate a spoonful.

——If it was a bowl of Malatang, he would be buried in the ground now.
