Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Ling Yichen walked to the tub and squatted down, and said softly, "I'll wipe your back for you."

Xue Zimo didn't speak, and let him take the bath towel.

Ling Yichen wiped very carefully, for fear that water droplets would splash on his wound.Xue Zimo's white and flawless naked back was presented in front of him without leaving anything behind, and Ling Yichen suddenly had a very strong desire in his heart. He really wanted, really wanted to hold this person tightly in his arms, and never let him go forever!

Against the backdrop of the water and candlelight, his smooth skin was glowing with fines, and Ling Yichen couldn't help but kissed him on the shoulder.

Xue Zimo's whole body trembled slightly, and he looked back at Ling Yichen.

Seeing that his thick black and slightly curled eyelashes were a little moist, and his eyes as bright as stars were already stained with mist, Ling Yichen's heart was surging, and he lowered his head and kissed him.This kiss was not gentle enough, but more than domineering.His tongue was in Xue Zimo's mouth, but Xue Zimo didn't respond.

After a while, Ling Yichen let him go, and said with a wry smile: "Mo, you are willing to give up your life for me, but you still refuse to accept me?"

Xue Zimo lowered his eyes, wouldn't he?He didn't know, how much he wanted to ask Ling Yichen to give up all of this, and just hide in the mountains and rivers with him.

But he couldn't open his mouth, he knew that Ling Yichen wanted to be emperor.

Taking a step back, even if he is willing, King Yu and the second prince may not let him go.And once Ling Yichen becomes the emperor, he will shoulder the responsibility of procreating the emperor's heirs, how can he continue his relationship with him at that time?

I knew a long time ago that I shouldn't let this person walk into my heart, but how many people in this world can control their feelings?

Considering Xue Zimo's injury, Ling Yichen insisted on staying in the station for half a month before starting again.By the time I returned to the imperial capital, another month had passed.

Ling Yichen's return made the emperor very happy, and it seemed that he hadn't seen his son for nearly a year.As soon as Ling Yichen entered the palace, the emperor found that he was taller and taller than before, half a head taller than himself, and he seemed to have grown into a handsome and handsome man. He couldn't help being very pleased.

"I kowtow to the emperor, may my father live forever." Ling Yichen knelt down and greeted the emperor.

"My son, get up quickly, let the emperor take a good look at you." The emperor hurriedly asked Ling Yichen to get up.

"Thank you, father." Ling Yichen stood up as he said.

The emperor said happily: "I know everything about you in Dianxi County, and you did a very good job."

Ling Yichen said: "I would like to report to my father, I went to Dianxi County and found out that the collapse of the river embankment was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

The courtiers were shocked when they heard this, and the emperor said solemnly, "How do you say that?"

"Xiao Ye is the clearest about this matter, and my son asked him to report to the emperor." Ling Yichen said.

Xiao Ye came out in response, Ling Yihong looked at him with a gloomy face, Xiao Ye turned a blind eye, and revealed all the things about his corruption that caused the river embankment to collapse.The more the emperor heard it, the more ugly his face became, and the courtiers were all shocked.

Before Xiao Ye could finish speaking, Ling Yihong hurriedly said: "Father, this is purely a false accusation. My son has never done it. Please learn from my father."

The emperor gave him a cold look, and then said to Ling Yichen, "Do you have evidence?"

Ling Yichen clapped his hands, Huang Zaizhong walked in from outside the hall, still holding something in his hand.

King Yu was startled, and stared at Huang Zaizhong sullenly.

Huang Zaizhong didn't even look at him, and directly presented the things in his hand.

Eunuch Xu carefully presented the account book to the emperor. After a while, all the ministers saw that the emperor's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.Suddenly, he threw the account book on Ling Yihong's face and said angrily, "You bastard, do you know how many people you killed!"

Ling Yihong quickly kowtowed and said, "Father, this is the third younger brother who framed my son, and my son was wronged!"

The emperor laughed back angrily: "Wronged? Do you want me to send someone to check every penny to see if you have been wronged!"

Ling Yihong didn't dare to speak anymore, his fists were clenched tightly.

At this time, Ling Yichen said again: "Father, in order to fear that my son would reveal the matter, the elder brother sent two groups of assassins to assassinate my son, and wanted to kill my son. If Xue Zimo hadn't stood up to protect me, my son would have already died." Died in Huangquan."

Ling Yihao's heart tightened when he heard the words, and then he looked up at Ling Yichen, Xue Zimo was injured? !

The emperor was furious: "You, beast—"

Ling Yihong was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He knew that Ling Yichen had to put him to death today, he hated him deeply, and secretly swore that no matter whether he could win the throne in the future, he would definitely kill Ling Yichen——

After a while, the emperor calmed down, stared at Ling Yihong coldly and said, "From now on, the King of Yu will be cut off, and he will be reduced to a low-ranking officer. He will stay in the palace, face the wall and think about his mistakes, and confiscate all the money that has been embezzled and use it for future use." Homes of disaster victims are rebuilt."

Ling Yichen couldn't believe that for committing such a serious crime, he should be imprisoned even if he wasn't killed, but it was just cutting his face?Isn't Xue Zimo's knife for nothing?

Ling Yichen took a step forward and said: "Father, Brother Da Huang committed such a serious crime, if he is not severely punished, the hearts of the people in the world may be chilled!"

All the ministers also looked at me and I looked at you. The emperor really suspected of covering up King Yu's punishment, but due to Tianwei, no one dared to say more.

The emperor said: "I have given all the ill-gotten gains he got to relieve the disaster, and I have given an account to the people."

"But—" Ling Yichen said unwillingly.

The emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I'm tired, let's retreat!" After speaking, he took Eunuch Xu and left.

Ling Yichen was angry.

Ling Yihong, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't expect the emperor to let him off lightly.He couldn't help but give Ling Yichen a vicious look. Since he was lucky enough to escape today, in the future, he must pay Ling Yichen back twice as much!

Hearing that Xue Zimo was injured, Ling Yihao hurried to the prime minister's mansion, and when he saw Xue Zimo, he hurriedly asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

Xue Zimo smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. It's just a slight injury on the hand, but it's already much better."

Only then did Ling Yihao realize that Xue Zimo's right arm was wrapped with a white gauze, and he said distressedly, "How did you get hurt?" After thinking for a while, he said, "The third brother said that you only wanted to save him..."

Speaking of Ling Yichen, Xue Zimo felt a little uncomfortable, and said: "The scene was chaotic at the time, and there were some accidental injuries."

"So, you are not for him?" Ling Yihao said happily.

Xue Zimo had no intention of continuing to entangle on this topic: "I heard that His Highness will be crowned king next month, so Zimo is here to congratulate His Highness first."

Ling Yihao looked at him and said seriously: "It doesn't count now, you must be there to congratulate me."

Xue Zimo smiled: "Okay, Zimo must go."

Inside Guanlan Hall.

Holding the mask given to him by the emperor, Ling Yize couldn't put it down, and said: "Emperor, thank you—"

"As long as you like it." Ling Yichen said.

Ling Yize put away the mask, and carefully asked: "Brother Huang, are you unhappy?"

Ling Yichen frowned, when did he show his emotions so clearly?

Ling Yize quickly waved his hands: "I'm talking nonsense, brother Huang, don't be angry, Yize sees that you don't talk much, so he thought... We haven't seen each other for almost a year, Yize really misses brother Huang."

Ling Yichen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huang won't be angry with you. During the time I was not in the palace, did anyone bully you?"

Ling Yize shook his head, and said obediently: "They dare not, Brother Huang, don't worry about Yize."

"So are you feeling better?"

"It's much better. Doctor Zhang has been treating me personally." Ling Yize said with a smile.

Ling Yichen thought of the poison on his body, and sighed in his heart, it would be great if the poison could be cured!

In September, Ling Yihao turned [-] and was named King Jing. He officially moved out of the palace and moved into Prince Jing's mansion. Courtiers and officials came to congratulate him one after another.

Ling Yichen and Xue Zimo went together, Ling Yihao was taken aback when he saw the two of them coming together, and then smiled at Ling Yichen: "The third brother is here too?"

Ling Yichen also smiled: "Second Brother is happy to be crowned king, how dare I not be there to congratulate?"

Ling Yihao looked at Xue Zimo, and said softly: "Come and sit here." After speaking, he led Xue Zimo and the others to sit at the guest table, Ling Yihao arranged Xue Zimo on his right, and Ling Yichen on the left.

Taking a closer look, the two seats of Ling Yihao and Xue Zimo looked like the main seats of the two masters, Ling Yichen was quite displeased.During the banquet, Ling Yihao graciously brought food to Xue Zimo, and Ling Yichen's expression became ugly.

Xue Zimo was secretly anxious, he was afraid that Ling Yichen would turn his face on the spot, so he had to apologize to Ling Yihao and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Highness, I'm done eating, you eat slowly, I'll go for a walk." Then he left the seat, Ling Yichen was planning to go with Xue Zimo Leaving the table, but Ling Yihao took a step ahead.

Throughout the celebration ceremony, Ling Yihao surrounded Xue Zimo tightly, and Ling Yichen's expression turned extremely ugly.

Finally, when the celebration was over, Ling Yichen pulled Xue Zimo and wanted to leave, but he heard Ling Yihao say: "Third brother, I have already arranged for someone to send Zimo back. You have been tired all day, go back to the palace early to rest."

When Ling Yichen heard this, the fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed. Just as he was about to explode, he heard Xue Zimo say: "Don't bother Your Highness, I still have something to ask Your Highness, so let's take our leave first."

Ling Yihao glanced at Ling Yichen, then at Xue Zimo, and said helplessly, "Okay." After speaking, he reluctantly watched Xue Zimo leave.
