The emperor's daily online flirting

The rain was still raging, Cao Xin ran forward non-stop, got up again after falling, the blood from the wound on the palm dripped little by little onto the fallen leaves piled up on the ground.

His vision became blurred, and at this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the night, passed by his ear, and shot straight into the center of a tree trunk not far away.

Cao Xin staggered and fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, it took him a long time to grab and crawl forward with both hands.

Before he could climb two steps, a sharp arrow was conveniently set in front of his fingertips, as if he had calculated that every time he climbed two or three steps, a sharp arrow would definitely come out of the hall.

Cao Xin looked at the arrow in front of him, panic and despair appeared in his eyes, he turned over and lay on the ground as if mustering all the strength in his body, "Xiao Jingyuan, you don't keep your promises, you will die badly."

Then a sharp arrow shot straight into his left arm, and a man in black with wrinkled eyes came out from behind the tree with a longbow in his hand, "It's the miscellaneous family who want to kill you, with the emperor Nothing to do."

The shrill voice made Cao Xin feel as if he had been entangled by a poisonous snake. His whole body stiffened, his pupils opened slightly, and he opened his mouth for a long while without saying a word, only a sound of, "Heh...heh."

The man paced forward, "The miscellaneous family hasn't killed anyone for so many years, let's have a meat tonight, Master Cao, cut his stomach, gouged out his eyes, pulled out his tongue, and cut off his head, choose one."

Under Cao Xin's horrified and desperate eyes, there were bursts of wailing in the dense forest, and even the night owl who was crying at night hid himself, not daring to make a sound.

Sitting in the carriage going back, Si Ruihan looked a little tired, and Xiao Jingyuan was also in deep thought. After a while, he leaned his head on Si Ruihan's shoulder by taking advantage of the bumps of the wheels.

"Ruihan, what should I do if Xiao Jingmo really did such a thing." Xiao Jingyuan broke Si Ruihan's hands one by one.

Then he clasped his fingers tightly and rubbed against his neck. Si Ruihan hugged Mrs. Tang who warmed his hands in his arms, and sighed for a long time, "It is unfaithful to contact Nanyu in private anyway." .”

"But he didn't do anything to me after doing these things." Xiao Jingyuan said.

"Has the emperor forgotten Eunuch Sun?" Si Ruihan asked.

"It is precisely because of Eunuch Sun that I feel that the matter is suspicious. If Eunuch Sun is most likely to seek refuge, it must be Xiao Jinghuai, and it is definitely not Xiao Jingmo who has always been taciturn." Xiao Jingyuan said with a sneer.

"Things in the world are impermanent, maybe everything that happened back then was a lie." Si Ruihan said flatly.

"Ruihan, you said that Liu Guan was desperate to buy time for Cao Xin, knowing that I was going to kill him tomorrow, so he arranged such an outing tonight, is he really not afraid that I will punish him?" Xiao Jingyuan squinted his eyes and said .

"Perhaps it was the emperor's gift of marriage that stimulated him." Si Ruihan said with a sigh.

"He doesn't want to hibernate and wants to resist, but if that's the case, there is absolutely no reason to do so. If he is not careful, he will lose the lives of the whole family." Xiao Jingyuan said.

"Does the emperor have any evidence? Although Liu Guan was openly making excuses for Cao Xin in the court, and something like this happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice the night before he was killed, after all, Cao Xin was not the only one who escaped tonight. Who can say, These people are here for Cao Xin." Si Ruihan couldn't help shaking his head when he said this.

"As long as Liu Guan sincerely pleads guilty tomorrow morning, even if the emperor is full of doubts, he will not be able to pin Cao Xin's matter on him. All of a sudden, everyone in the court is in danger, and it will take a long time for the emperor to balance the situation." Si Ruihan said.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Ruihan, I am exhausted from being an emperor, and I am exhausted all over."

Si Ruihan lowered his eyes slightly, with a little tenderness in his eyes, "Find some time and let Nian Ci take care of the emperor's body. Concubine Hui has been removed. If you want to catch the person behind the scenes, you don't need to risk yourself."

Xiao Jingyuan's eyes fell on their intertwined hands, "Ruihan, only you are willing to cherish me sincerely."

Hearing this, Si Ruihan slowly looked away, staring straight ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

In the early morning of the next day, just as Si Ruihan said, Liu Guan took off his official uniform and went up to the court in white clothes. He knelt on the court hall and pleaded aloud, with a sincere attitude.

Seeing this situation, many officials came forward and said bluntly that what happened last night was the vicious act of a vicious person, and Mr. Liu could not know the prediction in advance, and last night he sent people to track down the escaped prisoners all night long. All have been arrested and brought to justice, only a few people escaped.

Xiao Jingyuan listened silently for a while, "Has Cao Xin been arrested?"

Hearing this, Liu Guan kowtowed on the ground, "Cao Xin has fled and has not been found. I have already sent people to hunt him down. I believe there will be results."

"There will be results. His death is also the result, and fleeing to the Southern Region is also the result. What kind of result are you going to give me?" Xiao Jingyuan fixed his gaze on him and asked in an ominous tone.

"I will do my best." Liu Guan said in a deep voice.

"I feel that this riot came at the right time. I just said yesterday that Cao Xin will be executed today. Last night, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice happened to be unprepared. The prisoners fled to riot, and Cao Xin also fled without a trace." There was silence in the hall, and the faces of the officials who had just interceded became a little ugly.

Xiao Jingyuan sneered from the bottom of his heart, and Old General Li cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I also feel that there is something strange about this. If it is on the battlefield, it is probably because someone walked and contacted the enemy army in advance, and attacked in a panic, and then created panic to disrupt sight. .”

"It turns out that this method has been used in marching and fighting. I thought it was a new idea, Liu Guan, do you think it is possible?" Xiao Jingyuan asked while staring at him.

Liu Guan bowed his head, "Returning to the emperor, I have never studied military law, so I don't know."

"I don't know." Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Since you don't know, then leave this matter to someone who knows. General Li, starting today, we will send 1000 people to search inside and outside the city. All those who fled this time must be arrested and brought to justice."

"I heard that Si Ruifeng of the Prime Minister's Mansion was familiar with the law, so the old prime minister took him to sit in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and interrogated all the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the criminals who fled last night, to see what happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night." Xiao Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

"Sir, lead the order."

Si Tenghui and Old General Li received the decree together, Xiao Jingyuan glanced at Liu Guan who was kneeling on the ground, "Liu Guan is imprisoned in the mansion, and no one is allowed to approach the Liu manor until the matter is cleared up."

"As for the previous engagement, we will discuss it later." After speaking, Xiao Jingyuan flung his sleeves and left.

After the court ceremony, Xiao Jingyuan went straight to Tenghui Pavilion, took a sip of tea as soon as he entered the door, Si Ruihan put down the book in his hand and walked over, "How is it?"

"Liu Guan's thoughts are meticulous, I followed the method we discussed last night, and temporarily stabilized it." Xiao Jingyuan said.

"However, there are really too few people I trust and can use now. Pushing the Si family and Old General Li forward like this will cause trouble sooner or later." Xiao Jingyuan said with narrowed eyes.

Seeing his uneasy expression, Si Ruihan sighed, "There is still some time before Chunwei, this matter cannot be rushed."

Xiao Jingyuan stared at him, "Ruihan, I will never go back on what I said, and I will do my best to protect them."

"You haven't eaten yet, hurry up and eat some. I've brought Nian Chi here, and I'll ask him to detoxify you later." Si Ruihan said.

He accompanied Xiao Jingyuan to eat something briefly, then asked him to lie down on the bed, after a while Nian Chi came in from the outside, holding a small box in his hand.

"Cousin, you go out first, I'm afraid he won't concentrate when you're here." Zhou Nianci said lightly.

Si Ruihan glanced at Xiao Jingyuan who was lying flat on the bed, and after a while he opened the door and walked out. Zhou Nianci walked over, "According to what I said before, I let my cousin go out."

Xiao Jingyuan lay there peacefully, his eyes darkened. In his previous life, he didn't know who had injected this poison until the end. He had also inquired about it. It was extremely painful to get rid of this poison, and the longer the poisoning lasted, the more painful it would be.

He knew all of this, so when Si Ruihan asked him that time, he chose to cheat. In fact, he didn't need to come back and use this poison to do any testing, but if he detoxified at that time, he didn't guarantee that he would be willing to let the other party go, no Let the other person see their pain.

Now, he can face all this alone, because seeing the other party hurt because of his own pain is the most painful thing for him.

"Let's get started." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jingyuan said calmly.

Zhou Nianci opened the box neatly, took out a pill from inside and handed it over, "Take this first to stabilize the heart."

Outside the house, Si Ruihan stood under the acacia tree. The winter had caused the tree to lose its former brilliance, and a few buds appeared on the bare branches, which were new vitality.

In the recent period, his memories of his previous life began to slowly decrease, and he no longer had nightmares every night like he did at the beginning, dreaming of the destruction of the Si family, dreaming that he burst into tears, dreaming of being imprisoned here. The towering palace walls are hopeless for life.

The pain gradually decreased in his heart, but he knew that this bitterness did not dissipate, but the time before his eyes became longer.

When he was in the south, he didn't lie to Eunuch Sun. At that time, he really had no fear of life and death. He even hoped that he could die there, at least he could exchange his death for Xiao Jingyuan's regret.

But when he was really pinched by Eunuch Sun, his heart was suddenly shaken. It was just the result of calming his heart, which made him secretly happy. At that time, he knew that he was weak after all.

Si Ruihan stretched out his hand to touch the acacia tree, but felt pain in his heart the moment he touched it, he suddenly turned his head and looked through the closed door, at the same moment, Xiao Jingyuan suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood, Holding on to the side of the bed, struggling to look at the door, his eyes were heavy as if he wanted to see the figure outside the door through the door.
