Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Stepping into the Qinzheng Hall again after a few days, Lin Qingyu hesitated in front of the door.Xiao Songzi asked: "Master Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingyu pulled himself together and said, "No, let's go in."

As soon as Lin Qingyu entered the hall, several important officials in the hall who were sitting drinking tea stood up and saluted one after another, even those who were higher than him in official positions also saluted him.Lin Qingyu returned the salute, and took the lead in asking the Minister of Dali Temple: "How is the investigation on Xixia's secret work?"

Xiao Songzi served tea to Lin Qingyu, and watched him discuss business affairs in a calm and indifferent tone, and his hanging heart finally eased.In the past two days, Mr. Lin was terrified. He couldn't imagine that there would be any great joy and sorrow that would stimulate Mr. Lin to the point of being sick in bed.Fortunately, Master Lin survived in the end.

Lin Qingyu missed a few days of early court and political discussions, and the official business to be discussed was several times that of usual times.Lin Qingyu could listen to them patiently at the beginning, but as he got to the back, he became more absent-minded, and looked towards the door from time to time, as if he was in a hurry to confirm something.

An hour later, Lin Qingyu couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "That's it for today. The rest will be discussed tomorrow."

Everyone filed out, and Li Chan was the last.Lin Qingyu could see that he was dawdling on purpose, probably because he wanted to talk to him alone.

"Master Li?"

Li Chandao: "Master Lin, the emperor has not long since ascended the throne, and the position of chief assistant is vacant, and there is no head of officials. In my humble opinion, why didn't Lord Lin ascend to the throne early? He is an extremely human minister, so it is his duty to sit in the court and manage the government. , so as not to be told by the officials in private that Mr. Lin has overstepped his role, and Qiankun is arbitrarily determined."

Lin Qingyu said casually: "The officials talked about me in private, and this is not the only thing. Let them talk about it. After all, they only dare to talk about it in private."

Li Chan hesitated: "But..."

"There is no need to rush this matter. When the time is right, I will make my own plans."

Li Chan looked at him for a while, and couldn't help talking about private matters: "I heard that Mr. Lin has been ill these few days. Are you... all right?"

"I'm fine." Lin Qingyu said politely, "Lord Li, don't worry about me."

Hearing the alienation in Lin Qingyu's words, Li Chan forced a smile: "It's fine as long as it's okay."

Lin Qingyu hurried all the way back to Xingqing Palace.He asked the eunuch guarding the door of the bedroom: "Is the emperor still inside?"

The eunuch replied: "Yes. Half an hour ago, when the queen mother came to visit the emperor, the emperor was sleeping soundly. The queen mother took a look and left."

Lin Qingyu walked into the dormitory and did not see Jiang Xing on the bed, only a bulging ball.

Probably because he heard his approaching footsteps, Jiang Xing got out of the quilt, with the quilt on his head, his messy short hair was pressed by the quilt, sleepy and handsome.With cloth strips tied on his hands, he yawned: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It is impossible for Xiao Li to have such a temperament.The world is so big, there is only one Jiang Xing, who can not only make him angry but also make him pamper him willingly.

Lin Qingyu lowered his shoulders invisibly: "Wait for me?"

"Wait for you." Jiang Xing said again, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Xing, who can't speak clearly, has something cute about him.Lin Qingyu smiled lightly and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Xing frowned and thought for a while, opened Lin Qingyu's palm, and wrote the word "plum blossom" on it.

Lin Qingyu said: "There is no one made by the mother-in-law, only the Shangshi Bureau made it, is that okay?"

Jiang Xing thought for a while, and said, "Reluctantly, yes." Then, he raised his tied hands and motioned for Lin Qingyu to help him untie them.

"I don't understand." Lin Qingyu ordered the maid to prepare food through the door, then sat down beside the bed, and said, "Let me ask you, how did Gu Fuzhou die?"

He asked this question once before. At that time, he was in a trance, and was perfunctory by Jiang Xing with a few words.Calm down and think about it, if Jiang Xing really did what he promised and only planned strategies and didn't go to the battlefield himself, how could there be a situation where Gu Fuzhou died in battle and Yongliang recovered.

Jiang Xing was startled, lowered his hands, and sighed: "Qing Yu, who has returned to normal, is fierce."

When Lin Qingyu was about to leave, he didn't control himself well and tied it up a little tighter.Jiang Xing's current body is no better than Gu Fuzhou's, and he is used to being pampered, but after being tied up with a cloth for an hour, there is a mark on his wrist.Lin Qingyu stroked the two light red streaks, and said, "If you tell the truth, I will untie it for you."

Jiang Xing said, "It's so long, I can't tell."

Lin Qingyu took a pen and paper, and untied the cloth strip from Jiang Xing's hand: "Then write."

Jiang Xing knew he was doomed.Even if he doesn't write it now, Lin Qingyu will still know everything when news from the northwest reaches the capital.

Jiang Xing took the pen, Lin Qingyu thought he was going to write on the desk, but this person lay down on the bed and started writing under the quilt, like a student who usually doesn't work hard and works secretly on the bed in the middle of the night.

As soon as Jiang Xing stopped writing, Lin Qingyu took the paper away.Looking at Lin Qingyu's eyes, his brows furrowed, his face frighteningly cold, Jiang Xing had the illusion that his teacher was checking his homework.

"Luring the enemy with your body..." Lin Qingyu laughed, "So, you don't take your promise to me to heart at all, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xing laughed, as if mocking himself: "I'm wronged."

"If so, how could you put yourself in danger?"

Jiang Xing was unable to explain.In retrospect, he also feels that he seemed too great at the time.If he had to make a new choice now, he might not do it.But at that time, he stayed in the northwest for a year and witnessed the death of thousands of brothers under the city of Yongliang, so he was more or less over the top.

However, it was useless to tell Lin Qingyu these things, he decided to adopt the simplest and rude solution, knelt on the bed, folded his hands together, and said loudly: "I was wrong! Next time, don't dare!"

Lin Qingyu was indifferent, and said indifferently: "When you promised me before, I believed it, and then?"

Jiang Xing was dumbfounded.

Lin Qingyu chuckled: "From now on, I won't trust you anymore. I will only trust myself."

He will not let Jiang Xing leave his control, let alone let Jiang Xing go anywhere he can't see.He was fed up with that feeling.

Jiang Xing smiled, and wrote: [Then baby, please protect me, don't let me go to war, it's scary. 】

Lin Qingyu was silent, and asked, "Were you...were you scared?"

"It's okay." Jiang Xing wrote lightly.He opened the brocade quilt and invited Lin Qingyu: "Come in, sit down."

Lin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, got into the quilt, and the familiar breath surrounded him instantly.

When he was with Xiao Li before, he never felt this breath.This was brought by Jiang Xing. Whether he was Lu Wancheng, Gu Fuzhou, or Xiao Li, the feeling Jiang Xing gave him would never change.

Not long after, Xiao Songzi brought plum cake.Seeing the emperor's short hair, Xiao Songzi was frightened: "Emperor, the emperor's hair..."

Lin Qingyu said: "The emperor twisted his hair for fun, it's not a big deal, don't make a fuss about it."

Jiang Xing looked in the mirror, couldn't bear to look straight at him, picked up the scissors and trimmed it, and finally made his hair look less scary.Looking at the short-haired boy in the mirror, he couldn't help feeling: "I think I'm back to myself."

I have to say that short hair for men is refreshing and convenient compared to long hair.If given the chance, he would also like to give it a try.

Lin Qingyu said: "Look up."

Jiang Xing raised his head in confusion, and Lin Qingyu touched his Adam's apple: "You in the dream also have a mole here."

Jiang Xing was surprised: 【You don't remember my appearance in the dream, why do you still remember this mole? 】

"Because from my perspective, I can always see you here."

Jiang Xing savored Lin Qingyu's words carefully, put his chin on his cheek and smiled, "Huh? I don't understand."

Lin Qingyu glanced at him: "The emperor is still young, and when he grows up, he will naturally understand."

Since Jiang Xing spoke, the Empress Dowager was obviously not as concerned about court affairs as before, and most of her energy was devoted to Jiang Xing.Every day, she would stay in Xingqing Palace for half a day and teach Jiang Xing how to speak. It seemed that she really regarded Jiang Xing as a babbling child.

"Li'er, you are the emperor, you should call yourself 'Zhen'." The Empress Dowager said, "Come on, follow your mother and say, 'Zhen'."

Jiang Xing looked at Lin Qingyu helplessly, hoping that Lin Qingyu could help him get the Queen Mother away.Lin Qingyu didn't seem to see it, and calmly opened a page of the playbook.

The mother who did not get a response from her son continued her efforts: "Li'er, say 'Zhen'..."

Jiang Xing had no choice but to say "I", and the queen mother immediately rejoiced: "Li'er is awesome, so smart." This battle, it seemed that Jiang Xing had composed a masterpiece that has never been seen before or since, "Qing Yu, you Say it?"

Lin Qingyu responded flatly: "Yes."

Seeing that he was busy with official duties, the Queen Mother wondered: "Qingyu, if you want to read the memorial, why don't you go to the Hall of Qinzheng?"

Lin Qingyu was startled slightly, and said softly: "I..."

He knew it was bad, but he couldn't help it.

Jiang Xing said: "Queen Mother, I want him to accompany you."

The queen mother has no principles at all in front of her son who can talk: "Okay, okay, let Qing Yu accompany the emperor." She paused, and added, "However, after General Gu returns, the emperor can't be so clingy to Qing Yu. gone."

When the Queen Mother mentioned Gu Fuzhou, Xiao Songzi ran in, panting, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Lord Lin, the reporter from the Northwest is here!"

The queen mother hurriedly said: "Hurry up, invite him in!"

Jiang Xing looked at Lin Qingyu.Lin Qingyu seemed calm, but the fingertips holding the notebook turned pale.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyu already knew.Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine how crazy Lin Qingyu would be when he heard the news of Gu Fuzhou's death from other people.

Jiang Xing quietly tugged on Lin Qingyu's sleeve, and mouthed "Baby".Lin Qingyu shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

After a while, Shen Huaizhi walked in.

The last time Lin Qingyu saw him was last year.Shen Huaizhi became thinner, darker, travel-stained, and his eye sockets were bloodshot. It is conceivable that he hardly closed his eyes during the journey.

Shen Huaizhi knelt down in front of several people, and said in a hoarse voice: "Northwest victory, Yongliang has been restored."

The Empress Dowager breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Gu Fuzhou lived up to everyone's expectations. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he pacified the Northwest. He is worthy of his name as a great general of the country. Qing Yu, you really married a good husband."

Lin Qingyu asked: "If it's a big victory, why can't you see joy on your face?"

Shen Huaizhi raised his head and looked at Lin Qingyu, his voice choked with sobs: "Doctor Lin, I'm sorry. General Gu..." Shen Huaizhi grabbed the ground with his head and said with tears of blood, "General Gu...he Dead in battle!"

The queen mother suddenly widened her eyes and sat down in a daze.The maids covered their lips with their hands and exclaimed silently; Xiao Songzi had admired the general for a long time, so he burst into tears immediately.

The hall echoed with the sobbing of Xiaosongzi.Lin Qingyu glanced at Jiang Xing with a complicated expression, and said, "Got it."

Shen Huaizhi: "...?"

The author has something to say: Xindi: General, go with peace of mind, I will take good care of the beautiful little widow.
