Lynch seldom feels the kindness of others in real life. A long time ago, when he didn't take the mission world to heart, he would often ignore the kindness released to him by those characters in the small world.

Lin Qi didn't think too much about Wang Xuanzhen's sudden gesture of affection, he only felt warm emotions from Wang Xuanzhen, and solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo."

Wang Xuanzhen smiled slightly, "Good boy."

After Wang Xuanzhen left, Lin Qi stood at the gate of the courtyard and said with emotion to Han Feng beside him: "Actually, the rumors can't be completely believed, Uncle Guo is very easy-going."

"Know people and know people, don't listen to one-sided words," Han Feng did not object, "If you think he is good, then he is good."

Lynch turned and glanced at him, seeing that he looked serious and not perfunctory, his heart felt warm again. Han Feng was half drenched when he came out of Uncle Guo's mansion that day, obviously he suffered from Uncle Wang Guo's fault, but only Because of his own words, Han Feng can change his view of Uncle Wang Guo, which shows how important he is in Han Feng's heart.

Lin Qi stretched out his hand quietly, got in from Han Feng's loose official robe and held his hand.

Han Feng was startled, and turned his face to look at him. Lin Qi said softly as if nothing had happened, "It's so cold, it's almost winter."

Lynch's hands were lukewarm, jade-like, Han Feng clenched his hands behind his back, no one was looking at him in this small courtyard, he felt it was not enough to warm Lynch's hands with the warmth of his palms, so he took Lynch's hands from the official He got out of the robe and put it under his lips, heaving a sigh, "Quickly."

In the capital city after winter, the best pastime is to sit around the stove and eat grilled oranges. The charcoal fire in the Ministry of Justice is too much to use. Several adults gathered together and set up a stove. While grilling oranges, they laughed at Master Sun’s grilled crabs. , The days are too boring, a grilled crab is enough for them to joke a few times, everyone is talking and laughing, and when they are very relaxed, the guard outside the door comes in to announce that the Queen Mother is coming.

All the officials of the Ministry of Punishment stood in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment where the criminals were interrogated in an orderly manner according to their grades. From high to low, no one fell.

Lynch and Han Feng are still standing in the middle.

Lynch had never seen the Queen Mother before, and he didn't have much curiosity about the biggest villain in the original world, so he lowered his head and drowned in the black crowd.

The Queen Mother brought four maids, four servants, eight personal guards, and countless imperial guards, and surrounded the hall of the Ministry of Punishment.

The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and all the officials of the Criminal Department knew in their hearts that the visitor was not kind.

After understanding it, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment still bit the bullet and said: "I don't know that the queen mother is here, and I am far away from welcoming you. I hope the queen mother will forgive me."

The bright red fingertips gently slid over the roasted red orange peel, a little fruit aroma overflowed, and the strong aroma of oranges filled the entire hall in an instant. The queen mother sniffed her fingertips on the tip of her nose and whispered softly :"smell good."

Sweat dripped from the head of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "The minister is not strict, please punish the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, and a servant beside her stepped forward to take the orange.

"I have time to roast oranges and play, but there is no clue about the case in the palace." The Queen Mother took the handkerchief handed over by the palace man, wiped her fingertips slowly, moved lightly, and her fiery red pomegranate skirt slid down the steps. He stopped in front of the bowed Xingbu Shangshu, and said softly, "Come here—drag it out and cut it."

"Punishment is not a doctor" has always been just a beautiful saying that sounds decent, but the truth is-the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is a place where torture is used. All officials in the Ministry of Criminal Justice are used to torture from top to bottom, but none of them would have imagined that their chief would be tortured outside.

Not at all.

In the punishment of chopping alive, the flesh is cut one by one while the person is alive, and the expert who executes the punishment must make the last cut before he swallows that breath.

Extreme torture.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were sweating profusely, and the winter chill did not make them feel refreshed at all.

The Queen Mother's murderous aura passed through them like a needle without a thread, and it didn't take too much force to pierce their bodies with a slight 'poof'.

"The Ministry of Punishment, my palace has always valued it very much," the Queen Mother said in a soft voice, and took back the orange from the servant's hand and peeled it slowly. Like a cardamom girl, "Unfortunately, you really let me down."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment who stood in the front immediately took the lead and knelt down to admit his mistake. As soon as he knelt down, the following also knelt down. Lin Qi and Han Fengyin exchanged a look in the middle, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"You must feel that this palace is trying to scare chickens and monkeys, and I will ask you to do things next," the queen mother unscrewed a piece of roasted orange, deeply smelled the aroma, raised her eyes and looked indifferently at the large area underground. Kneeling and trembling crowd, "I never give anyone a chance."

"I'll drag them all out and beat them to death with sticks." The Queen Mother sternly said.

"Yes--"

The Imperial Guards stepped forward to arrest the person without hesitation, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were so frightened that they couldn't even utter a word of excuse.

"Queen Mother," Lin Qi hurriedly stood out from the crowd. It was too late for Han Feng to stop him, so he could only stand up behind him, cutting off Lynch's words, "Please think twice, Queen Mother, I understand the Queen Mother's anger. I would like to appease the empress dowager's anger."

The queen mother waved her hand, and the imperial guards stood aside. She looked up at the two people standing in the hall. They were both handsome in general, and suddenly she felt blessed, "Han Feng, Lynch?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the subject is Han Feng."

"The subject is Lynch."

The Queen Mother said lightly: "You two deserve to be spared. Xuanzhen mentioned your names."

In any case, Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Lin Qi, and moved half a step to the side, signaling for Lynch to get away.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the imperial guards moved forward again. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment had already reacted at this time, crying ghostly and howling one after another.

Amid the miserable cries, Lynch trembled. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he was frozen in a picture. The picture of him playing chess with Han Feng. This full house of officials was about to be eaten and sacrificed. chess pieces.

"Queen," Lynch said without moving, looking up at the Queen Mother, "please let them go."

Han Feng yelled in his heart that something was wrong, he had no choice at this time, he immediately stepped forward to block Lin Qi, and said in a more sincere tone: "I also implore the Queen Mother to show mercy."

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them without saying a word, and smiled, "Well, you are all good boys. It is rare to find kind people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once you come out, you will get two. How about it, who of you two is willing to use your own money?" To exchange your life for the lives of the people in this class?"

"It's too noisy—" The Queen Mother frowned, and looked at the guards, who quickly blocked the mouths and noses of several officials who were crying like children.

The hall fell silent again.

"I am willing." Han Feng said directly.

"No," Lin Qi stepped forward and stood in front of Han Feng, "Chen..." Han Feng had already pulled his belt and pulled him back fiercely, and shot his eyes at the Queen Mother like a hawk, "Chen's The lives of all of them are worth the lives of all of them, because the minister can create the greatest value for the Queen Mother."

Lin Qi was hidden behind Han Feng's belt, and he showed a side face behind Han Feng's broad shoulders in a daze. After a glimpse, the Queen Mother suddenly stood up.

"Queen," the guards outside came in to announce immediately, "Uncle Guo is here."

In the inner hall of the Criminal Department, Wang Xuanzhen said to the Queen Mother with an ugly face: "If you want to beat or kill in the Criminal Department, that is all your business, why do you touch my people!"

The Empress Dowager's dress dragged to the floor, she turned her head to look at Wang Xuanzhen, just now, a strange yet familiar feeling came to her heart.

Lynch is a bit like Wang Xuanzhen in certain demeanor.

Wang Xuanzhen in his youth.

The Queen Mother's red lips moved slightly, "Are you angry?"

Wang Xuanzhen pursed his lips and said nothing, he was upset when he heard the Queen Mother's tone, and turned his face away in disgust.

Still childish, the Queen Mother thought in a daze, and softened her tone, "I know you like these two children, why would you touch them, you are overthinking."

"Oh?" Wang Xuanzhen glanced at her contemptuously, and said in a strange tone, "It's me who is overthinking again."

The Queen Mother knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she raised her hand and rubbed her temple lightly. She always had a headache, and said lazily, "I didn't mean it. You know who I'm targeting."

"Yan Fuzhao," Wang Xuanzhen said lightly and quickly, lowering his head to hide a little pleasure on his face, "He really deserves to die, how dare he not take our siblings seriously."

The Queen Mother remained silent.

The Queen Mother was very clear about the relationship between Yan Fuzhao and Wang Xuanzhen, and she kept turning a blind eye.

She really loves Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuanzhen, her only younger brother, has been weak since childhood, he is so weak and so stupid, he is a beautiful and lovely useless person.

The Queen Mother knew from a very young age that the future glory of the Wang family could only be supported by her alone.

A woman who wants to prop up a glorious lintel can only rely on her own appearance and body. The queen mother dedicated it to the most honorable man in the world, hoping that there will be enough returns.

That winter there was a lot of snow, the carbon in the palace was not enough, it was as cold as an ice cellar, her father finally begged for grace to visit her in the palace, but fell ill when he arrived, so only Wang Xuanzhen came to look after her for his father.

Wang Xuanzhen was weak and afraid of the cold, wearing thick clothes, he could barely walk, his snow-white face was rosy from the cold, when he entered her hall, he stomped his feet and said it was cold, and while saying it was cold, he moved The stove hidden in the sleeve was stuffed into her hand, and she asked coquettishly when she would go home to live.

Wang Xuanzhen was only sixteen, and his family spoiled him like a flawless snow, she couldn't bear to tell him the truth, so she just coaxed him to hurry up.

She couldn't bear him being cold, fearing that he would get sick from the cold, she pushed him to rest on the soft couch, went out to get hot water and came back, the emperor stood in front of the soft couch, not knowing what to say to Wang Xuanzhen who was hiding under the blanket.

She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and she was overjoyed to salute the emperor with a thin figure, the emperor didn't even look at her, his eyes kept falling on Wang Xuanzhen.

After the emperor left, Wang Xuanzhen said: "Sister, when the emperor saw me just now, I was very flustered, I was afraid for no reason."

She sat in front of the soft couch, lowered her head, and said slowly after a long time: "Why, you are overthinking."

She loves Wang Xuanzhen.

——But she... loves power more.
