Stranger and Chen in the Palace

In the middle of the night, Xue Zimo saw a memorial from Dianxi County.

It turned out that Ling Yichen had cleared out the Dianxi county magistrate and other officials.Back then, Ling Yichen had told him that he would not let those evil officials who did harm to the common people go, but he still remembered it.

Looking at the inner hall, Xue Zimo sighed sadly, Ling Yichen seemed careless, but in fact, the most important emotion was in his bones, he was real, hurt him too deeply...

This sleep was the most solid sleep Ling Yichen had in Xihe Palace. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. Looking at the rising sun outside, Ling Yichen suddenly got up and hurriedly walked outside the palace.

Xue Zimo was still carefully reviewing the memorial at the side of the case, and when he saw Ling Yichen coming out, he smiled slightly at him.The tiredness could not be concealed in his expression, the two stacks of memorials on the case were clearly separated, the reviewed and unreviewed ones.

Ling Yichen was stunned, he never left?

Shunde happened to serve Xue Zimo breakfast, and when he saw Ling Yichen woke up, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this servant will pass on the meal to you."

Ling Yichen slept for so long that he didn't eat for several meals.

Ling Yichen frowned and looked at Shunde: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

He slept for a whole day and night, and even missed his morning morning.

"This..." Shunde looked at Xue Zimo in embarrassment.

Xue Zimo got up and smiled: "It was the minister who asked him not to disturb His Majesty. In the early court, the minister had already asked Shunde to collect all the ministers' papers. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

Ling Yichen looked at the case, and sure enough, there were many more memorials than yesterday, which he hadn't noticed just now.

"Go down." Ling Yichen waved at Shunde, then went to the desk and said to Xue Zimo, "You go to have breakfast first, and then go back to rest."

He must have been exhausted after approving the memorials here for so long.

"Yes." Xue Zimo bowed and stepped back.

After Xue Zimo left, Ling Yichen sat down at the desk, casually took out one of the memorials he had reviewed and opened it, and the graceful handwriting immediately came into view, stroking the blue pen and ink with his fingertips, and remained silent for a long time.

Afterwards, he took out a few more letters and looked at them, and Xue Zimo handled them very well.

Ling Yichen put down the memorial in his hand, and couldn't tell what was going on in his heart for a while.

After a while, he continued to review the memorial. After resting for a day and a night, his head no longer hurts, and his spirit has returned to the best state.

In the prime minister's mansion, Xue Jingting is waiting for Xue Zimo in the flower hall.

"Father."

Xue Jingting looked exhausted, apparently he hadn't slept all night, Xue Zimo couldn't help but blame himself, he didn't tell his father about becoming an official in the court beforehand.

"Mo'er, did you enter the court because of him?" Xue Jingting stood up, stared at him and questioned.

Xue Zimo bowed his head, he always thought his father didn't know.

Xue Jingting sighed: "Mo'er, he is already the emperor, you..." Seeing his head hanging lower and lower, Xue Jingting really couldn't bear to continue to criticize him.

He thought that Mo'er would gradually forget about Ling Yichen after getting married, but honestly, he really didn't want Mo'er to get too close to him, for some reason, he always felt that it was dangerous.

"I just want to help him, I have no other ideas." Xue Zimo whispered.He also knew that it was impossible between him and Ling Yichen.

"Go to sleep first." Xue Jingting sighed, turned and left.

Xue Zimo stood alone in the flower hall for a while before slowly returning to his room.

The twilight glow intoxicated the white clouds in the sky, and to Ling Yichen's surprise, Xue Zimo came to Xihe Palace again.

"Your Majesty, this is a solicitation letter written by Weichen, please read it." Xue Zimo bowed and handed the letter with both hands.

Shunde took it and presented it to Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen unfolded it gently, and saw an eloquent and eloquent essay, which was magnificent and full of vigor, really every word was pearls and jade, hearty and hearty.

Seeing the frowning behind Ling Yichen, Xue Zimo couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the call to action?"

Ling Yichen put down the proclamation: "Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?"

He approved the memorial for one day and one night, and he didn't have a good rest when he went back to write this essay.

Xue Zimo was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant, and said with lowered eyes: "This essay has not been written for too long, and I have already rested."

Ling Yichen handed the proclamation to Shunde: "Pass it to Xiao Ye, and order him to send someone to copy it quickly and post it all over the country."

Shunde respectfully took the call to arms and withdrew.

Xue Zimo smiled: "Your Majesty, go and rest, I will handle the memorial for you."

Ling Yichen looked at him complicatedly when he heard the words, and he suddenly felt that Xue Zimo was here to help him, and that he entered the court as an official just because he wanted to help him.

"Let's go together." Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes and continued to read the memorial with his head bowed.

Xue Zimo sat down gently opposite him as he said, and began to take up a pen to criticize.

That night, both of them didn't sleep, they quietly processed the mountain of memorials in Xihe Palace, they didn't communicate, but they had a tacit understanding.

The review speed of the two together was indeed much faster than that of one person. In the early hours of the morning, the memorials accumulated for many days were finally reviewed.

Xue Zimo didn't feel sleepy until the work at hand was finished. In the past two days, he only slept for an hour.

"There is still an hour before the morning court, and the gate of the palace is not yet open, so go and sleep first." Looking at Xue Zimo who looked tired, Ling Yichen couldn't help but feel distressed.

Xue Zimo looked at the inner hall and remained silent.

As sleepy as he was, he really wanted to fall asleep right away, but it was Ling Yichen's bedroom, and Ye Pei's shadow suddenly flashed across his mind, and his eyes became gloomy.

Ling Yichen got up: "I'm going out for a walk, I don't need to go to you this morning."

Speaking slowly out of Xihe Palace, Xue Zimo looked at his back...

Standing alone in the imperial garden, Ling Yichen stared blankly at the bright jade plate in the sky, it was another full moon night...

early morning.

Xue Jingting presented a blue notebook to Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen opened it slowly, his eyes flashed suddenly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile unexpectedly.

This book is just a list of the intricate relationships between the suppressed officials and the major interest families, as well as the various business dealings of those big families in the officialdom. With this, there is a target for fighting snakes.

In such a short period of time, I am afraid that only Xue Jingting can figure out these complex relationships that are hidden bottomlessly.

But Ling Yichen knew that even he must have used a lot of connections and expended a lot of energy.I couldn't help being grateful, and respectfully said to Xue Jingting: "Thanks for your help."

Xue Jingting smiled: "This is the duty of a humble minister."

Although he was smiling, he was sighing in his heart. Since Mo'er wanted to help him, he, as a father, had to do his best. He just hoped that Ling Yichen would think of Mo'er in the future and never hurt him.

When he went back, Ling Yichen found that Xue Zimo had fallen asleep while leaning over the table.

He walked lightly, found a silkworm cloak, and carefully put it on Xue Zimo.

Sighing secretly, luckily the weather is not cold now, otherwise if I sleep here like this, I must catch the cold, I really don’t know how to feel sorry for myself!

Suddenly, he found that Xue Zimo's fingertips were still densely packed with small cuts.

Ling Yichen was in a daze. He didn't explain what happened that day to him. Would he think that he had arranged it on purpose?

Stretching out his hand, through the paper-thin air, he carefully traced the picturesque outline: moon eyebrows, star eyes, snowy eyelashes, vermilion lips, youthful face and elegant appearance, empty valley orchids...

The way he sleeps lightly with his eyes closed is like an ink painting of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, gentle, tender, and tranquil.

At this moment, his heart was unexpectedly soft.

Mo...

What should I do with you?

You are the only one in the world, Ling Yichen can't afford to hate you, and can't let go...

do you know?

"Your Majesty—" Huang Zaizhong rushed in recklessly.

Ling Yichen withdrew his hand and glanced at Huang Zaizhong warningly.

Xue Zimo was awakened by yelling loudly. He opened his eyes and sat up, and the cloak suddenly fell to the ground.

Seeing the cloak, Xue Zimo was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Ling Yichen, and found that he was staring at Huang Zaizhong displeasedly.

Knowing that he was in trouble again, Huang Zaizhong complained secretly, why does he keep doing this kind of thing?Kneeling down and smiling wryly: "Your Majesty, are you looking for a humble minister?"

Ling Yichen handed him the blue book, and said calmly: "You and Xiao Ye will handle this matter for me."

Huang Zaizhong took it in doubt, opened it and looked, his face was solemn: "This minister takes orders."

Smiling apologetically at Xue Zimo, Huang Zaizhong retreated, Xue Zimo smiled and nodded in response.

After Huang Zaizhong went out, Xue Zimo also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Ling Yichen nodded, without speaking, Xue Zimo turned around and exited the hall.

Ling Yichen picked up the cloak on the ground and stared silently for a long time...
