All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 57
In this capital, although Taiwei Nangong loves his only son the most, the jokes between father and son are well known.

Especially every time, Nangong Fenglin had to stay in the brothel in order to avoid his father.

In the beginning, this Nangong Taiwei was a member of the imperial court after all, he was always out of face, so he had to let his servants go in to look for him, and wait outside the brothel gate, every time he went to court, he could still hear his colleagues laughing at him.

But the traitor in the back went too far, and Nangong Taiwei personally went to the brothel to find someone.

Nangong Fenglin had nowhere to hide, so he had to sneak out every day while his father was going to court.

Anyway, I've seen enough excitement today, Ling Xiao was about to go back, waved his folding fan, and walked down Tianxiang Tower.

On this building, one could overlook the entire street scene. Although Nangong Fenglin's ears hurt, he stared at Ling Xiao.

"This brother is too inhuman, so he just left."

Muttering in his mouth, Nangong Taiwei was about to scold, but why is that figure so familiar, like the one sitting in the palace, but the one in the palace won't come out?
"Go back quickly, dad has something else to do."

Rarely, Taiwei Nangong didn't rush back home.

This made Nangong Fenglin a little uncomfortable, so he followed, but Xiaoer stopped him.

"Master Nangong, the money you put here earlier is gone, and the money for the wine in the box has not been paid..."

At this moment, there were so many people in the hall, Taiwei Nangong felt ashamed.

"Hurry and take care of it for me!"

"Father, I see. Why didn't the man pay for the drink after drinking? He just left? It doesn't look like he is short of money."

Nangong Fenglin muttered and followed Xiao Er to check out, Nangong Taiwei hurried out and followed Ling Xiao.

According to people around him, it was that person who was drinking with his son at that time, but is there anyone in the capital that he doesn't know?
This person was wearing a mask, so he was a little suspicious. Although his figure looked very much like the current emperor, that person must be in the Zichen Palace.

"If the southern envoys start with Fenglin, I..."

When Nangong thought of this, his face suddenly changed. He only had this one son, and he was useless in the court.

Although his status is not low, but his son can't inherit the mantle, as long as he is safe and sound, he will hardly stand in any team, and only seriously serve Da Qi Dynasty.

In recent years, after envoys from the south came to Kyoto, the courtiers had close contact and their thoughts became clear.

However, their Nangong family has always been at a disadvantage because they do not see outsiders. Starting with their son, their Nangong family may no longer be able to maintain a neutral situation.

Ling Xiao was leisurely and leisurely, just as he walked to the end of Suzaku Street, he saw two people behind him, who followed him closely at this time, and Master Nangong seemed to be chasing him closely.

Just as he was about to bypass the path and return to the Nangong Gate, unexpectedly, all the roads were blocked, Master Nangong came over.

He is already cautious enough, this Nangong Taiwei, when did he see it?

"Who are you, and what do you mean by coming to my capital?"

Being questioned by Nangong Taiwei like this, it seems that his identity has not been found out yet.

Deliberately lowered his voice, "I just came to Tianxianglou to have a sip of wine. The wine in Tianxianglou has always been famous, and I have no interest in other things."

Nangong Taiwei wanted to hear the accent, but he couldn't hear it, so he frowned, so he could only get straight to the point and said, "Whether you really come to drink or not, but don't get close to the old man's son."

"No matter who you are in the south, my Nangong family has always maintained neutrality. If you start with my son, I will never spare you."

After uttering harsh words, he took a group of people with him before leaving.

Ling Xiao was dumbfounded, Nangong Taiwei had been messing around for a long time, just to prevent his son from getting close to him, and to show their Nangong family's position.

If he didn't recognize his identity, he really thought that the Nangong Taiwei came here to show his loyalty on his own initiative.

As soon as he walked to the Nangong Gate, he found that Li Dequan was already squatting in the corner, and when he saw his eyes lit up, he flipped over.

It may be because of too much force, I jumped forward a few times and almost fell down.

"My lord, you are finally back. This servant has been waiting for you here for a long time. If the prime minister finds out, this servant's head will be gone."

The emperor did not think about it carefully when he left. However, if the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace knew that he, a little eunuch, could not take good care of the emperor, it would be a serious crime.

Ling Xiao could also understand Li Dequan's worry, but it's just that going out today has gained a lot.

"Okay, will I watch if your head falls off?"

For the emperor's blatant preference, Li Dequan laughed twice, and quickly tied his clothes for the emperor.

"After you left, Concubine Wei Gui came to Shulan Palace, but the others didn't come. At this moment, Mrs. Jia is talking to the queen, and she will leave at dusk."

The report was good, but he hesitated.The evasive appearance made Ling Xiao really doubt, what did the little eunuch do?
"Li Dequan, what did you do behind my back? Why are you so scared? If you tell me, maybe you can spare your life?"

Could it be which concubine.Are you looking for life and death again?
That Huo Chengjun.A few days ago, wasn't it already stabilized?

And within this period of time.If he seeks death again, I'm afraid Mr. Huo's face will not look good.

"Your Majesty, the slave does have some trivial matters, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not..."

"speak!"

After receiving the order, Li Dequan took out a box from his arms and handed it up tremblingly.

He reached out to take it, and weighed the box. It was quite heavy, and it was crackling inside.

Could it be the southern envoy, the news from over there?Or Cheng Yaojin?
Li Dequan's serious face must be bad news.

Ling Xiao's heart was raised, but when he opened the box and saw the white money and some bank notes, his face turned dark instantly.

"Li Dequan!"

"The emperor is angry..." Li Dequan trembled, and immediately knelt down, "The slaves didn't intend to collect money, but they gave it to them, so I had to take it, including Mrs. Jia also stuffed some..."

"Your Majesty, this servant knows he was wrong."

Kowtowing all the time, I was afraid that this head would be gone.

Ling Xiao counted it and found that it was quite a lot. In just half a month, he could get so much money.

It seems that the people who come to Zichen Palace every time have a lot of money, and they have a lot of money in their hands.

However, Li Dequan collected money in private, but he was able to take the initiative to hand it over to him, which shows that he is extremely loyal.

Ling Xiao had a smile on his face, "Why don't you get up quickly and hold this box for me so that no one can see it."

Li Dequan didn't know, so he hugged the box quickly, he must have tired the emperor, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, carefully.

"emperor……"
