Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Shen Qi had a dream.

He forgot the exact date, probably before Su Yan returned to Beijing from Shaanxi, after Gao Shuo secretly reported to him that "Jing Hong climbed into Mrs. Su's bed in pursuit of her status as a guard who accompanied her day and night".

In the dream, Su Yan held a vague figure who couldn't see men and women clearly, and told him in a gentle but firm tone that he had another love, and he and he could only be brothers in this life.

He went crazy.

He killed the invisible figure, killed Su Yan who refused to change his mind, and finally held Su Yan's body, and killed himself with one knife at a time.

His ghost could not be reincarnated and his obsession persisted. Every night, he wandered around the grave where the two were buried together, asking every leaf that grows in spring and every snow that falls in winter: Have you seen my wife?

When she woke up, Shen Qi was drenched in cold sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water.

He has always known that he has a problem, and the problem is not in his flesh and blood, but in his heart.

There is a sadistic monster living in his heart, tearing and roaring in the dark from time to time, needing blood food decorated with painful wailing to satisfy his hunger.

Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi, and Imperial Prison gave him the freedom of a fish in water, and gave him enough legitimate reasons to use "duty" and "following orders" to cover up the bloody smell emanating from the monster in his heart.

But after meeting Su Yan, everything is different.

He had to be careful not to let the monster's fangs and claws hurt Su Yan, and he couldn't even be seen by the other party.Carefully conceal the black karmic fire burning in the soul.

He was more tolerant and restrained than in the ten years under Feng Que'e.Even on the bed, he didn't dare to relax. Every tooth mark on Su Yan's body hides his repeated confirmation, warning and punishment of himself.

But at this moment, because of Jing Hong's chasing words, he was cut in half——

One half is dark, restless, mad, and ruinous.Let go of the urge to burn everything together and turn dreams into reality.

The other half still has reason and spirit, and the sweetness of linden nectar still lingers in the soul, echoing "Qilang" again and again.

Half to death, half to survive.

Jing Hongzhui was still squatting in front of him, looked at him with scrutiny, and said indifferently: "You smell like blood."

nonsense!Shen Qi shook off his wrist, and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips.

"It has nothing to do with your injury." Jing Hong followed up, "It's your smell, I can smell it. Seeing that you are wearing an official's skin, I didn't expect that you are also a desperado in your bones."

Who is the same as you!

When the mouthful of blood was spat out, the cramping pain in his chest seemed to ease a bit, and the turbulent emotions gradually cooled down.Shen Qi slowly straightened her upper body, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and looked at the wilderness in front of her from a new angle.

The biggest advantage of this person should be his loyalty to Qinghe, Shen Qi thought - of course, there is no lack of elements in this loyalty that the toad ate the swan meat to be grateful for, but it can be seen from several critical situations that he is someone who can die for Qinghe.

While he was recovering from his injuries, Qinghe's safety was at risk. No matter how hard those imperial guards and Jin Yiwei worked, they were still under orders. They couldn't think of Qinghe's sake from the bottom of their hearts. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have enough ability to achieve it.For example, last night, with so many people protecting him, Qinghe was able to be taken away.

At least for now, this Jinghong Chase is still available.Especially when the high-ranking people are watching, Jing Hongchai's identity with no background and the courage of "barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes" are quite suitable.

——at least more suitable than King Yu.

Shen Qi remembered that when King Yu came to win him over, he really wanted to join hands with him and target the emperor.He scoffed at this in his heart:

Since ancient times, we have been close.No matter how dissatisfied King Yu was, he was the emperor's brother after all.

More importantly, how did King Yu treat Qinghe?How could he agree to kill him quickly?

The emperor lives and dies, the king of Yu has ulterior motives, and the crown prince is a cub that is grinding its claws.He fights alone in the midst of the pressure of the powerful, even if he overcomes all obstacles, even if all the tricks are exhausted, can he really keep Qinghe safe?

Since this Jing Hongzhui offered to form an alliance, the matter has come to an end, it is better to use it first, and then liquidate it when it is used up.Shen Qi clarified her thoughts, and replied calmly: "How can two outlaws fight against three nobles?"

Jing Hong got up and sat back in her seat, and hugged his sword again: "No matter how noble a person's life is, there is only one life. But it still depends on what the adults want."

"He has always been soft-hearted, it's not like you don't know." Shen Qi said.

Jing Hong thought about it for a while, and said, "We must first look at the situation. If it really comes to the point where you can die, adults have considerations for adults, and you and I have our means."

Shen Qi didn't speak again, she seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, and said in her heart: If you really want to put an either-or deadlock in front of you, how will Qinghe choose?

When Su Yan got out of the carriage, he saw a maid waiting by the road, and went up to meet him and said, "Eunuch has worked hard, is it an imperial decree or an oral order?"

The servant bowed and replied, "It's an oral order. Please, Mr. Su, don't let the emperor wait."

Su Yan lowered his head and looked at his body. He was still wearing night clothes under the mud-stained cloak, wondering: "It's really disrespectful to describe the face saint like this. Can you let me wash and change clothes first?"

The servant turned his head and glanced at the corner of the street, and said with a smile: "There are kettles, sweat towels and clean clothes in the car. Mr. Su can come with our house to change."

Su Yan saw a four-horse carriage parked far away at the corner of the street. It was more than twice the size of an ordinary carriage, and the interior must be very spacious, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch."

He followed the servant to the side of the car, climbed up the steps, opened the door and walked into the car.

The interior of the carriage is as spacious as a pavilion, with a fixed floor-to-ceiling screen separating the guest room and bedroom.The guest room in the front is complete with tables and seats, and through the hollow lattice of the screen, the low couch covered with satin quilt can be vaguely seen behind.

The area and comfort level are almost equivalent to a small apartment. It is worthy of being a carriage in the palace.After Su Yan sighed silently, he took off his cloak and hung it on the wall hook, looking around for the kettle.

The water in the kettle must have just been filled, and it was still warm in the washbasin. After carefully scrubbing his hands and face with a cotton towel, he took off his night clothes and rolled them up. He wanted to wipe out the traces but had no place to throw them away, so he wrapped them in a cloak and tied them. Become a burden and throw it in the corner.

Five scratches on the shoulders were exposed, with dried blood scabs, which looked a little creepy, but they were actually not very serious.Su Yan didn't care about it, and searched for the mid laner from a large stack of brand new robes in the cabinet with his bare upper body.

He originally planned to ask Mr. Ying Xu to come over to give Shen Qi a diagnosis and treatment after sending Shen Qi back to the mansion, and treat his wounds along the way.Received the summoning edict halfway, so I can only put it aside for the time being, and deal with it later.

At this moment, there was a slight gasp in the quiet compartment, as if it was in pain.

Su Yan turned his head to look behind the screen and asked, "Who is where?"

He first saw a corner of the pale robe with exquisite patterns.The other party came out from behind the screen, and it turned out to be the emperor in micro-clothes.

"Your Majesty?" Su Yan was taken aback, realizing that he was disheveled and rude, so he hurriedly grabbed a robe and put it on in a hurry.

Feeling that the scene was embarrassing, his face was burning badly, and he didn't care to look at the emperor's expression, and hurriedly tied his belt.

The emperor approached, held his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move." Then he opened his skirt, took off half of his sleeve, and checked the wound on his shoulder.

"Flying claws?" The emperor frowned.

Su Yan nodded embarrassingly: "The injury is not deep, and it will be fine if you take some medicine later."

The emperor pulled him to sit down, poured a basin of warm water again, washed his wound with his own hands, took out golden sore medicine powder from the cabinet, applied it on him, and finally wrapped it with gauze.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word the whole time, Su Yan's heart became more and more drummed. Thinking of the absurd things last night, he hurriedly glanced at himself - fortunately, Ah Zhui only licked but didn't bite, leaving no teeth marks, only some bruises on his skin, which he said was a collision. It's almost the same as falling.

A charcoal basin was burning in the carriage, which drove away the cold air of early spring, so that the upper body would not catch cold for a while.The emperor finished tying the gauze head, and then applied Dieda medicinal wine to the bruise.

Su Yan was sneezed by the pungent taste of the medicinal wine, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor didn't ask me what I experienced after I was captured by the assassin last night, and how did I come back this morning?"

While rubbing the medicine, the emperor asked back: "If I don't ask, you won't take the initiative to say?"

Su Yan said coyly: "I saw that it was morning time, I didn't expect the emperor to be in the carriage, I was surprised for a moment, and forgot to report the situation in time."

The emperor said lightly: "The morning court has already dispersed."

scattered?It was just now, not even half of the usual time.

The emperor stared at him, as if he could see through the doubts in his heart: "Last night, I received an urgent report saying that you were attacked in Dashi Yongfang and disappeared... What do you think I was feeling at that time?"

Su Yan looked ashamed: "It's the minister's negligence that made the emperor worry."

The emperor paused, then continued rubbing: "I immediately sent the Imperial Army and Jinyiwei to search the city, and wait for their return in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I waited from the second watch to the third watch, from the third watch to the fourth watch, and until it was dawn. , still no news from you."

"My lord..." Su Yan lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.

"I have been in the imperial court for 15 years, and I have never stopped early court without serious illness, and today is no exception. So I went to Fengtianmen to listen to the government, but after listening to it, I could only feel the buzzing of the courtiers below, but I couldn't hear them clearly. What, it only made me a headache. Fortunately, the news came at this time, saying that you are safe and sound and have entered the outer city, so I announced the dismissal of the court, and came out of the palace in disguise to pick you up."

Su Yan pressed the hand rubbing the medicine on his body, and his chest throbbed with pain: "My lord."

The emperor picked up a cotton towel, wiped off the medicinal wine from their hands, and sighed deeply: "Qinghe, I am old and cannot bear this. If you threaten me with your own safety again, I... will take it back to you." The power to let you stay honestly in the official office."

Su Yan felt more and more uncomfortable, his nasal cavity was sore, and mist appeared in his eyes: "It's my fault, I really didn't want to scare the emperor... The emperor is not old at all... Chen, I still want to continue investigating the case..."

The emperor said: "I know that you are dedicated to the public. You said all these soft words in front of me, but also to continue the investigation."

Su Yan shook his head again and again, but couldn't refute. He gritted his teeth and put on the middle single, tied the belt with trembling fingers, and then fell to the ground to plead guilty: "My heart... I can't be selfless, the emperor knows."

"Don't raise your shoulders, the wound has just been wrapped!" The emperor unconsciously raised his voice, then slowed down, and sighed, "Other officials, I wish they were all loyal to the country, but you, Su Qinghe , but I hope that you will be more selfish and consider yourself more... What a contradiction."

The emperor bent down to support Su Yan, hugged him into his arms, and kissed his forehead: "You did a good job, I'm just stunned."

Su Yan choked with sobs and said, "I... I'm sorry, my lord."

He was grateful for what the emperor gave him, but he couldn't repay what the emperor wanted——

As if standing in front of a warning line, once you step into the restricted area, the world will be turned upside down and there will be no turning back.With the dignity of the Son of Heaven, how could he allow others to get involved in the forbidden area, even if Shen Qi and Jing Hong failed to catch up, the Emperor would not spare them.

It's like an unsolvable situation, there is no other way but to get out in time and get out of the way.

But can the emperor tolerate his refusal again and again?

Even if he could, how could he bear to see the other party disappointed again and again.

Qinghe, hurry up, don't make me wait too long.Every word is a needle that pokes the heart, and it is also a mantra that tempts the heart.

The emperor patted him on the back: "Okay, don't cry. Every time I cry in front of me, it seems that I always bully you with power."

Su Yan raised his sleeves and wiped his face in shame, feeling that private matters were much more difficult to handle than official ones.If he could, he really wanted to rewind back to the beginning of time travel, only doing business and not talking about relationships.And when you meet someone who wants to force and provoke you...report the crime?Beat up?You can't kill people!

Cough, it's still an endless loop.All of them are sins.

Now we can only take one step at a time, first solve the urgent tasks of the Seven Killing Battalion and the Vacuum Sect, and deal with the other headaches later.

Su Yan picked and picked, and explained what happened last night.Because he had been hiding Ah Zhui's background from the emperor before, he couldn't mention the words "blood pupil" and "medication" now. He only said that his guards arrived in time to rescue him from the assassins of the Seven Killing Battalion and send him back to the capital.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and asked: "Which guard, the master of the rivers and lakes you subdued? The one who fought with others in Meixiantang because of jealousy?"

Su Yan made up his mind to protect the lives of the two adulterers, and said: "The guards are only devoted to protecting the lord. What is the status of the emperor, it's unavoidable... It's not dignified to say something like 'jealous'."

The emperor was putting on a robe for him, when he heard the words, he slapped him on the buttocks: "Presumptuous! If I am not dignified, I will not dress you at this moment, but undress you."

The wound at the back was touched, Su Yan was so painful that he gritted his teeth in secret, quickly tied his belt, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, the minister made a mistake, the emperor is very solemn, and he is sympathetic to the subordinates."

The emperor rubbed his lower back through his robe, and his breathing became short of breath: "Except for the shoulder, where else is it hurt?"

Su Yan didn't dare to say anything after being beaten to death, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's gone, everything is fine."

"Only the upper body is covered with medicine, let me see the lower body as well?"

This look, someone's head will be seen off!Su Yan tightly guarded his waistband: "I'm terrified! I'm ashamed! I also ask the emperor to forgive me and take it back."

"Are you shy, or scared?"

"All, all."

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you." The emperor lightly raised his chin with his fingers, "Let me see if your tongue is hurt."

Asking knowingly, how can you talk so much if you hurt your tongue?Knowing the emperor's intentions, Su Yan opened his mouth helplessly and stuck out the tip of his tongue.

The tip of the tongue was reddish and small, with a moist luster, and the emperor sucked it in with satisfaction.

After a long time, Su Yan panted, and grabbed the emperor's lapel unsteadily.The emperor held his waist with one hand, pressed the back of his head with the other, and asked, "Are you hungry? I have something to eat here."

Su Yan thought of the "Rain and Dew Enze" last time, his legs were weak, and he reasonably suspected that the emperor had something to say, and hurriedly said: "I am not hungry, thank the emperor for your kindness. I... I am a little dizzy, probably the wound lost a lot of blood before... "

The emperor smiled tolerantly: "Then save it for next time. I will send you back home to recuperate."
