Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

"Although on the surface, it seems that His Highness is in the limelight, but the affairs of the court are changing rapidly. I advise His Highness to be careful. It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country."

Li Nian is not in Beijing now, Li Qing is alone guarding the empty Li Mansion, Zhao Minsheng can actually feel the loneliness of the old man in front of him.

It is natural for people to feel lonely when they are old and have no one to accompany them, but Li Qing is always stubborn and brave, and the pride accumulated in the battlefield all the year round does not allow him to show weakness to anyone.

And compared to himself, Zhao Minsheng's current situation made him more worried.

Although Li Qing disdains to exercise power and has always been unwilling to form a party with others, he is also in the muddy waters of the court after all. He has been up and down for many years, and he has seen too many things about going up and down.

Although Zhao Minsheng used this incident to make King Ling fall out of the emperor's chess game, what will happen in the future is still unknown. After all, he is still the queen's son. A comeback is possible.

Not only Li Qing, but even the Queen Mother had mentioned this matter to Zhao Minsheng early on. Now that the emperor has just dealt with King Mausoleum, at this time, killing the queen while the iron is hot is the most important thing for Zhao Minsheng.

But for this matter, Zhao Minsheng had already made plans in his heart.

It's just that the time has not come yet, so there is no need to worry.

"Ming Sheng understands these things in his heart, the general doesn't need to worry too much, besides, even if something really happened, Duke Xie is still protecting me, so don't worry."

Li Qing picked up his wine glass, and glanced at Xie Yuan, but he didn't answer him. Instead, he changed the subject and brought the talk to Zhao Minsheng's current residence.

"Now that Luli Xiaozhu has been burnt to such a state, even if His Majesty has decreed to choose another place to build a mansion, if the new mansion does not last for a year or so, nothing will happen. Tao Yunyuan, you must never come back, or you can come and live in my Li residence for a while."

As soon as Li Qing said this, Zhao Minsheng immediately sat on the stool and hiccupped.

Xie's mansion, that was the place where he worked so hard to get in. Now that he had shared the bed with Xie Yuan for a day, it would be too cruel to let him move out of it.

"No, no, no! Before the palace is built, I can live in Xie's mansion. Xie's mansion is good for food and use. You can rest assured that I am now standing on the cusp of the storm. Hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching I will not disturb the peace of the general."

What Zhao Minsheng said was not unreasonable, now that he has just entered the chess game, the eyes of all the military officials in Chinese and Chinese are fixed on him, and socializing must be a common occurrence.

Li Qing never liked to meddle in such things, but once Zhao Minsheng entered the Li residence, it was no longer up to them to meddle or not.

What's more, Li Qing is in a high position and holds a heavy army. In the past, he was the only one, and the emperor had to be more jealous. Now Zhao Minsheng conspired with others to kick King Ling out of the game, and then moved into Li's residence to hug his thigh. It's even more suspicious.

"Forget it, then I have to trouble Dugong Xie."

After listening to Zhao Minsheng's words, Li Qing thought about it a few times, and felt that under the current situation, the Xie Mansion seemed to be Zhao Minsheng's best choice.Ever since the two entered the door, Li Qing had always regarded Xie Yuan as a transparent person, and now this sentence can be regarded as the first sentence he said to others.

"The general is serious."

Xie Yuan looked into Li Qing's eyes and nodded slightly towards him.

"Uncle Li Nian is on patrol in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will be back soon."

"Yes, in less than two months, that bastard will come back and make noises in my ears again."

Li Qing said, raised his glass with a smile on his face, and drank it down.

When Zhao Minsheng mentioned Li Nianzhi, although Li Qing disliked him in every possible way in words, in his heart he still hoped that he would come back to accompany him as soon as possible.

After dinner, when the two of them came out of Li's residence, the moon was already high in the sky. Zhao Minsheng drank some wine, his face was slightly red from drunkenness, Xie Yuan was beside him, walking on the ground together with him. Landing on the shimmering snow on the ground, he walked slowly.

Obviously both of them drank the same amount of wine, but Xie Yuan's body was not even slightly tainted by alcohol.

Zhao Minsheng breathed in the air, and turned to look at him, but he still looked so forbearing and calm, as if all the filth in this world couldn't contaminate him.

"Xie Yuan."

"Ah."

As the exhaled white air gradually drifted away between the two, Zhao Minsheng couldn't hold back in the end, and called out for someone, but when Xie Yuan turned his head and responded to him, he was a little bit I don't know what to say.

He could only smile at the person, and by the way, held the person's hand and said something.

"It's okay, why don't we go to the palace in the suburbs of Beijing to fish for shrimps tomorrow morning?"

Zhao Minsheng's sudden decision made Xie Yuan a little puzzled for a while. After the fire in Prince Huai's mansion today, although the emperor granted permission for Zhao Minsheng to go to the palace in the suburbs of Beijing to rest for two days to relax his mind.

Although the emperor said that, Xie Yuan never thought that Zhao Minsheng would actually go.After all, that place used to be the source of his nightmares for many years. Even if everything is over now, he should still have some resistance to being there.

"Otherwise, Your Highness still..."

Before Xie Yuan finished his refusal, Zhao Minsheng took the man's hand without saying a word, and wrapped it all in his palm.

The moment he felt the touch of human fingers, Xie Yuan subconsciously hid for a while, but he couldn't escape the pursuit of human beings after all.

"Or what? Don't move around, your hands are so cold, just leave them like this, and I'll warm you up."

At this moment, Zhao Minsheng's thoughts are completely different from Xie Yuan's. For Zhao Minsheng, the memories of being in the palace in his youth are like a shackle imprinted in his memories.

Since he can't get rid of this shackle, let Xie Yuan replace this period of demons, so that even if he thinks of this in the future, he will think of Xie Yuan and his memories at the end.

The road ahead is long, Zhao Minsheng felt the coolness of Xie Yuan's fingers, so he also grasped Xie Yuan's hand more tightly.

On this winter night, there were already no pedestrians on the long street. The two of them held hands and walked back to Xie's mansion unhurriedly, accompanied by the crunching sound of crushed snow under their feet.

It was not until the gate of Xie's mansion that Zhao Minsheng reluctantly let go of the man's hand, and silently followed him into the house.

Walking all the way here, Xie Yuan's originally cold fingers now also carry the warmth of Zhao Minsheng's hand. The warmth seems to be able to reach the bottom of his heart directly through the fingertips, bringing him the power of the warm sun.

-

Early the next morning, when the two got into the carriage and headed to the palace, Zhao Minsheng hadn't fully woken up yet, and leaned on the carriage in a daze.

Xie Yuan sat at the side, watched the man like this for a long time, finally couldn't bear to call him over, and let him sleep on his lap.
