How dare the cannon fodder be arrogant

Following Xiao Jue's voice, Xiao Lingfeng came out from behind the screen.

He glanced at the master without any emotion, and easily nailed the tell-tale white-bearded old man to the chair.

The Taifu was shocked by the emperor's words first, and now he was stared at so expressionlessly by Xiao Lingfeng, he almost couldn't maintain the Taifu's composure.

But no matter how anxious he was on the chair, the two brothers in the hall had already looked away, and they didn't pay attention to him at all.

Xiao Lingfeng was about to salute, but was interrupted by Xiao Jue raising his hand.

"You don't need to be too polite, brother, come and sit with me for a while."

The little emperor's voice was still weak from illness, but Xiao Lingfeng keenly noticed a little difference in his voice.So he obediently sat down beside Xiao Jue's bed.

His gaze fell on Xiao Jue's pale face involuntarily.

At this moment, the young emperor leaned halfway on the bed with a sleepy expression, and seemed to be struggling even to speak. How could he still have the majestic appearance at the palace banquet a few days ago?

"Brother Huang." Xiao Jue called out.

Xiao Lingfeng subconsciously agreed.

However, after receiving the response, Xiao Jue shut his mouth again and did not continue, his awkward appearance was no different from that of a three or five-year-old child.

Xiao Lingfeng sighed.

Just like when he saw Xiao Jue for the first time at the gate of the imperial city, he was actually not quite used to Xiao Jue's sudden closeness.What's more, he was not able to let go of his guard against Xiao Jue so quickly.

However, although he still maintains a sense of distance from Xiao Jue in his heart, the movements of his hands are faster than his brain.

Xiao Jue was drooping his eyelashes and didn't know what he was thinking, when a big hand clasped his forehead.

There was a thin callus on the palm of that hand, and when it touched his forehead, the abrupt touch was very obvious.

Xiao Jue suddenly recovered.

He knew that the rough palms covering his forehead were the marks left by Xiao Lingfeng's years of fighting with a knife on the Northwest battlefield.

The fingers covered under the brocade quilt unconsciously curled up twice, and when the fingertips touched the palm of his hand, Xiao Jue's heart trembled.

These are a pair of pampered hands, the hands are so clean that even the thin calluses on the finger bones caused by holding the pen can hardly be felt.

——It is completely different from the touch on the forehead.

Touching Xiao Jue's forehead briefly, Xiao Lingfeng withdrew his hand, frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm a little hot."

He didn't understand medical principles, and he didn't know whether the fever was good or bad at this time, so he immediately turned his head and asked Eunuch Zhao to go to the side hall next door to ask Ah Lian to come over.

After three or two orders, he turned around, only to find that Xiao Jue was looking at him with very complicated eyes.

"Big brother."

Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar address suddenly, Xiao Lingfeng's face was blank for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses, and tucked the quilt for Xiao Jue as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Jue also seemed to be shocked by the title he blurted out, and the two brothers fell into silence again.

Fortunately, Ah Lian was in the side hall, and he hurried over with a medicine box in a short time.The sound of footsteps broke the dull atmosphere, and Xiao Lingfeng got up to make way.

Taking advantage of Ah Lian to feel Xiao Jue's pulse, Xiao Lingfeng turned to look at the Taifu who had been ignored by everyone for a long time.

The Tai Tuo sat firmly on the chair, although he tried his best to maintain his posture, but his heart was already very uncomfortable because of the strong presence of the thorny eyes.

"Master."

Xiao Lingfeng drove people away brightly: "What else is there to do for the Grand Tutor? Your Majesty should take a lunch break now."

The Taifu's hands gripping the chair were suddenly clenched, and when he looked up again, his eyes had calmed down.

Xiao Lingfeng came at an unfortunate time, he still had some words to say to the little emperor, but looking at it now, it would be useless for him to say a few more words, instead it would arouse suspicion.

"The old minister will leave now."

Outside the gate of the palace, Huo Qing watched the movement in the palace with tense nerves, while he sent off the grand tutor with a cold and serious face on his front feet, and was invited in by Eunuch Zhao on his back feet.

The temple door was closed again from the inside.

Xiao Lingfeng moved a chair and sat down a little further away from Xiao Jue.And Xiao Jue, who sat up and finished drinking the soup, was frowning at Huo Qing.

Xiao Lingfeng: "Huo Qing, tell the emperor what you found."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Jue and added: "There are no outsiders here, the emperor can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue immediately sat up straight and stared at Huo Qing closely, even ignoring the candied fruit that Eunuch Zhao offered to suppress the bitterness on the back of her tongue.

Huo Qing stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, my lord. I checked last night, His Majesty's diet for the past three days..."

Xiao Jue interrupted: "I already know about this matter, let's talk about other things first."

Thinking of the concubine being fined and grounded, Huo Qing stopped what he hadn't said yet, and after calmly glanced at Xiao Lingfeng, he opened his mouth to talk about what he had seen and heard outside the Chaoyuan Hall.

"Sishi today, when I came back after checking the clues, I passed by the west corridor of the Chaoyuan Hall, and I met the imperial concubine talking to the Taifu."

Xiao Jue's voice became cold: "What did you say?"

Huo Qing told the emperor exactly what the Taifu said to the imperial concubine, including the coded phrase that the Taifu said to the imperial concubine at the end.

"Master Xu Lin has already set off to return to Beijing, starting on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Huo Qing's tone became cold and hard: "That's what the Tai Tuo told the noble concubine."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lingfeng's expression immediately darkened.

Xu Lin is the chief general of the Suxi Army, who was supposed to be stationed in the southwest.However, no matter whether it was his people or Zhuang Qingyue's people, there was no news of any changes in Xu Lin.

And his sensitive nerves were also touched at this moment.

A military general whose rank is lower than the Tai Tuo, what qualifications does the Tai Tuo have to be called an adult on that occasion?

Xiao Lingfeng sneered from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that he has new clues.

On the other side, Xiao Jue's face was already sinking like water.

"Going back to Beijing without Zhao, Xu Lin is trying to plot rebellion?!"

There was a fierce light in his long and narrow eyes, and the pent-up anger was on the verge of erupting.

Even though his body was weak, the majesty of the Ninety-Five Supreme exuded at this moment still had a full sense of oppression.

Eunuch Zhao and Huo Qing bowed their heads in silence, even Ah Lian, who was waiting to take Xiao Jue's pulse again, was too frightened to take a breath.

"emperor."

Xiao Lingfeng said: "Since we have clues, we have to make preparations early."

Xiao Jue took a deep breath and calmed down: "What do you think, Brother Huang?"

Xiao Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "What exactly is Xu Lin doing, we need to investigate further."

"Although the Suxi army is under his control, the marching of the army will always reveal the whereabouts. If he brings the troops back, he can only break them into pieces or go out at night, and the strength of the troops will not be too many. If he really dares to hide Let everyone go back to Beijing without authorization, there must be something to rely on."

Xiao Lingfeng: "Forbidden Army and Imperial Capital Patrol Battalion..."

"The Forbidden Army is led by Huo Qing, I can trust it." Having said this, Xiao Jue's face suddenly became a bit more ugly, "Liu Qingping, the commander of the Patrol Battalion, once served as a deputy under Xu Lin's tent."

The two brothers looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.

Xiao Lingfeng: "Be prepared in secret, don't startle the snake."

Xiao Jue nodded.

After a while, Xiao Lingfeng came up with a new idea.

"The timing of the emperor's poison attack is very strange. The king suddenly thought, if the Taitai Hospital can't detoxify the emperor, will the title of poisoning the king be placed on the king?"

"If Xu Lin seizes the opportunity to send troops to serve the king under the banner of the Qing emperor, it may be a better choice than sneaking into the imperial capital."

When Xiao Jue heard this, a chill appeared on his face: "If this is the case, it will be logical to use this righteousness to get rid of the emperor brother, and to take my life and add a yellow robe after the matter is completed."

He sneered: "It's really a good plan!"

He looked at Xiao Lingfeng: "Brother Huang, if Xu Lin is really rebellious, the two of us brothers will use our tricks and wait for the opportunity to catch these rebels all at once?"

Xiao Lingfeng was silent for a moment, and asked him: "Your Majesty... aren't you afraid that I really have two minds?"

Xiao Jue was taken aback.

After a while, he whispered: "I told the Grand Tutor earlier that Brother Huang would have been able to do it long ago if he wanted to, so why bother so much? Wasn't last night a great opportunity?"

Xiao Lingfeng looked at him and said nothing.

Seeing the change of expression on Xiao Jue's face, he was embarrassed for a while, and finally apologized softly to Xiao Lingfeng as if he had completely let go of his face.

"Brother, I know I'm wrong about Anpin's matter."

He lowered his eyes and stared at the brocade quilt in front of him, and he didn't even need to say himself when he apologized.

Xiao Lingfeng's attention was a little off: "Concubine An?"

Xiao Jue: "It's... the cousin of the imperial concubine."

The woman who was sent to Hengyang Palace.

Xiao Lingfeng: "It's okay."

He raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Xiao Jue, thinking that he was not the one who suffered anyway.

Interrupted by Xiao Jue's sudden apology, the solemn atmosphere in Chaoyuan Hall finally improved.Xiao Jue sighed and fell back on the bed, with a tired look on his face again.

"But I can't figure it out."

Xiao Jue frowned: "Brother Huang, I have always treated Xu Lin kindly, why did he suddenly become rebellious?"
