thorns in the sky

Liu Qi was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red, but in Wei Lue's view, this kind of anger seemed childish and charming, but it was not scary.Liu Qi was furious, but he didn't want to fall out with Wei Lue, so he took two steps back, this time Wei Lue didn't hold his hand tightly, so he slipped away.When Wei Lue came back to his senses and wanted to hold on tightly, he stretched out his fingers and could only touch half of the man's sleeve.

Liu Qi turned around, feeling a little awkward on his face, but this uneasiness subsided instantly, and a smile appeared on his face again.Liu Qi said: "Go and do your work first." This sentence was still soft and soft, and he couldn't hear it.But Wei Lue just knew that he was angry.Wei Lue approached a little closer, bowed and said, "I was wrong." Liu Qi hurriedly laughed and said, "Why is it wrong, my lord?" Wei Lue laughed and said, "Otherwise, it's your fault." He sneered in his heart, but said: "Oh? Your Excellency, don't you want to say that it's my fault for being too charming?"

Wei Lue's expression didn't change, but he said: "Of course not." Liu Qi said: "That's all." Wei Lue continued: "You and I are right, that's the best." Liu Qi lost his voice unconsciously , with a sarcastic smile, and didn't like to talk to him.But Wei Lue said: "The lowly job is resigning first." Wei Lue was always proud of himself, and he didn't think he had lost to Chang Zibi, it was the first time he said "lowly job" so softly, Liu Qi listened, but was a little bit It didn't work either, with a smile on his face: "Go slowly."

Liu Qi was so angry that he went crazy, thinking that this was all a mess.

The people who let him step on the soles of their feet in the past are now stepping on his face one by one.

Wei Lue originally wanted to be sympathetic to Liu Qi, but thinking that Liu Qi was in a rage, he couldn't be sympathetic no matter what, and Liu Qi's angry but smiling appearance was even more beautiful and delicious.Liu Qi didn't sleep well last night, and today he's not in the mood, he's drowsy in the book pavilion, but Sheren is very good at observing words and expressions, saying that there is a small bed in this cubicle, so Liu Qi can squint for a while.Then Liu Qi lay down on the small bed, and was sleepy for half a day, and suddenly remembered Wei Lue's appearance like water onions when he was young, he laughed well, talked well, and his ten fingers were also like water onions, soft, gripping It was like a ball of cotton in Liu Qi's hands.He can also play the piano, and only plays Liu Qi's love tunes, every pause and every tune is in line with Liu Qi's taste, high and low, all played for Liu Qi alone.

"Ah..." Liu Qi woke up suddenly, as if he was awakened by the cry of some animal.

It is said that the empress knows that the emperor likes to be quiet, so she raises groups of chickens, ducks, geese and all kinds of animals that are loud but not harmful to people in the harem.These animals are also powerful, and they can make noise to the cabinet hall in the harem.Liu Qi couldn't help but smile, he just thought that the emperor's abolished empress is determined to win, and these chickens, ducks and geese don't know what will happen in the future.

Seeing that Liu Qi was awake, Sheren came to offer tea again for Liu Qi to rinse his mouth, and twisted the towel for Liu Qi to touch his face.Liu Qi wiped his face, and suddenly felt that the towel was quite soft. He pinched two handfuls in his hand and examined it carefully, but it was a silk handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns, not a rough cloth randomly brought from the meeting hall. is this person's personal property.That Liu Qi squinted at the Sheren, if the Sheren who was on duty in the morning, he would have lowered his head hastily, but this Sheren smiled and looked at Liu Qi, bowing his head in a respectful manner.Liu Qi asked: "Is your name Fang You?" Fang You's tone seemed to be very happy: "Yes, it's hard for adults to remember." Liu Qi put the silk handkerchief back in Fang You's hand and said: "I heard that your Jinshi of the new department." Fang You said: "It's just a scholar. Who among the scholars doesn't know that you are the number one scholar in Enke back then, which makes people admire and envy you."

After all, Liu Qi was a nobleman, he had a good teacher to guide him since he was a child, and his talent was not bad, but it was impossible for him to wait for one article, after all, his heart was not in learning.That time, he was able to get on the gold list in the exam as Chang Zibi, but because he knew the examiner before and knew what words the examiner liked, he deliberately wrote it that way.Sure enough, he was able to get a seat in the palace examination. He is also an old man in the officialdom. After entering the Golden Palace, he can answer questions freely and fluently in front of the emperor. Can he still lose to the stunned young scholar?This made him the No. [-] pick.

Liu Qi is the number one scholar in the new department, but he also got mixed up from this cabinet member, and he also knows in his heart that this person named Fang You is very thoughtful.Then Liu Qi smiled, and Fang You chatted a few more words.Fang You also responded quite freely.Liu Qi and Fang You chatted a few gossips, but suddenly heard the emperor's summons, Liu Qi cheered up and went to see him.

The emperor did not meet him in the main study, but only in a pond in the imperial garden. The emperor was alone by the pond watching the fish swimming in the water.The corner of the imperial garden is quite open, and there is no place to hide around, so it can be regarded as a place for conversation.When Liu Qi came to the emperor's side, he quietly looked around, and sure enough, there was no one around, except for a guard standing fifty steps away.Liu Qi also recognized that it was the emperor's favorite bodyguard named Meteor.

Seeing this battle, Liu Qi felt a little guilty.But when the emperor's eyes fell on his face, he still saw the calm Taifu Chang, not the sick Liu Qi with a weak heart.

The Son of Heaven glanced at the gentle and gentle Chang Zibi, and his eyes were reflected in the pond like weeping willows, so he said two words flatly: "Liu Qi." Chang Zibi was still very calm when he heard these two words, although The first time he heard the Son of Heaven call him that, he was really scared out of his wits, his knees went limp before he realized it.

Liu Qi was always restless, but he didn't expect that his identity would really be revealed.He even thought that if he was found out, the empress dowager should know first.After all, the Empress Dowager has Xia Yansheng under her command, and Xia Yansheng is in charge of the Inner Guard Mansion.The Internal Guard House is an agency set up by the Empress Dowager to investigate intelligence.Liu Qi obtained fame as a younger brother of Chang Wuling clan, originally his resume was innocent, but unexpectedly, the emperor became suspicious when he got along with Chang Zibi, thinking that Chang Zibi's words and demeanor did not match the background on his resume, Order Xia Yansheng to investigate carefully.Xia Yansheng made a careful investigation of Fang Jue's anomalies, related to Liu Qi's poisoning, and reasoned that it might be that Liu Qi and Chang Wuling colluded to cheat death and steal life.

Therefore, the emperor suddenly lied to Chang Zibi, and Chang Zibi was caught off guard, and his face showed signs for a while.But Chang Zibi insisted and asked: "Who is your Majesty calling?" The emperor said: "You." He said, "Ai Qing observes people's subtleties and is good at understanding the holy will. You must know that I hate playing riddles in circles the most in my life." Chang Zibi's heart almost jumped out of his chest, but the voice that came out of his mouth was calm: "Of course I am." Knowing that the emperor likes straight-hearted people, the minister just said directly, in a simple sentence, the minister is not Liu Qi!" The emperor had already confirmed his identity, but he didn't have the patience to question him slowly. Telling the truth is not easy.The emperor didn't want to waste this energy, so he said: "I said you are, you are!" Liu Qi was indisputable: "Since your majesty said so..."

The Son of Heaven smiled again, and said: "Or do you want Xia Yansheng to ask you this question?" Liu Qi heard the words "Xia Yansheng", and a layer of cold sweat rose up his back.He knew that Xia Yansheng was very good at extorting confessions by torture, after his hands, even a layer of skin would be considered light.But the pain of flesh and blood came second. What shocked Liu Qi was that these words showed that Xia Yansheng had secretly betrayed the Empress Dowager and had taken refuge in the Young Emperor.

Liu Qi thought about it carefully, but he didn't feel surprised. Although Xia Yansheng deliberately flattered his lord, he was still a general after all, full of ambitions in his belly, and he became a spy and cruel official purely for the good of the empress dowager, and was again The empress dowager treats her like a dog, and it is inevitable that there will be no resentment over time.Moreover, the empress dowager is old, but the emperor is young, and it is clear at a glance who is more promising to follow.

Thinking that Xia Yansheng is already the Son of Heaven's man, and the Son of Heaven knows everything, Liu Qi thought that he should be honest and admit it.The emperor could tell him so clearly that he just didn't want his life.The emperor believed that he, Liu Qi, took his life and crawled back to the capital just to avenge the death of the empress dowager.This is true, Liu Qi really wanted to use the power of the emperor to kill the empress dowager.The emperor needs him too.

After that, the Son of Heaven didn't say a word about Chang Zibi being Liu Qi, as if it never happened.Today, the young emperor suddenly summoned him here, turned away the crowd, and called him "Liu Qi".Liu Qi hurriedly knelt down.But the young emperor said: "Forget it." Liu Qi stood up slowly.The young emperor was still looking at the blue waves of the lake, his eyes were fixed, and his lips parted slightly again: "I must abolish the empress." Liu Qi suddenly understood what the emperor meant, and couldn't help jumping up in his heart, and a smile appeared on his pale face. Flushed with excitement: "Of course, what the emperor said is of course...the emperor is the son of heaven, he can do whatever he wants."

The emperor is going to kill the empress dowager.

The empress dowager is about to die, can Chang Wuling still live?

Liu Qi's dark pupils seemed to have fallen into stars, shining with the light of hope.His excitement was somewhat beyond the imagination of the emperor.But the emperor soon felt that it was reasonable. After all, the empress dowager harmed Liu Qi's family, and it was only natural that Liu Qi hated him deeply.The Son of Heaven said to Liu Qi: "I intend to let Xia Yansheng do it." Liu Qi quickly laughed and said: "I see, Xia Yansheng can do it, but it's not good-looking. It's better to let Chang Wuling do it, God doesn't know it, ghosts don't know it , Naturally, the emperor can save a lot of trouble." The emperor was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Rang Chang Wuling?" Liu Qi said: "His medical skills are so supernatural, and he has been serving the empress dowager, he is the most important. Appropriate." The emperor remained silent.Liu Qi knew that the emperor didn't trust Chang Wuling very much, so he continued: "Chang Wuling was able to help Liu Qi fake death back then, it was already a capital offense. Now that he is asked to do things, how can he retreat?" The emperor said "Is he really reliable?" Liu Qi then said, "I can boldly recommend him because I think he is reliable. If the emperor is really worried, just ask Xia Yansheng to watch over him."

But the emperor said: "After the matter is over..." Liu Qi knew that Chang Wuling's medical skills were too good, but he lacked benevolence, and even participated in the emperor's poisonous killing of the empress dowager, so the emperor would definitely not want to keep him.This is what Liu Qi wanted.So Liu Qi said: "After the matter is over, I will take care of him." The emperor was startled when he heard the words, but said: "Could he not be your savior?" A vain smile appeared on Liu Qi's mouth: "Could it be that Xia Yansheng Didn't report it to the emperor? Or did their Inner Guard House not monitor the Chang Family Clinic? Did Chang Wuling save me or humiliate me?"

The Son of Heaven and Xia Yansheng often meet Liu Qi, but their expressions are very natural, so Liu Qi almost wants to lie to himself that no one knows about his abuse.But this is impossible. Since the emperor became suspicious, he would check all his family background. It is impossible to prevent the Neiwei Mansion from monitoring the Chang Family Medical Center.Chang Wuling was very casual in doing things at home, and the emperor probably knew about the insults to Liu Qicao.

The Son of Heaven is always like a bored gourd. Hearing Liu Qi's words that broke the bottom line, his expression did not change at all, and he just nodded slightly: "I know." your interest?"
