After the death of the villain

Ling Lang looked at the person who bumped into his chest, and his thin lips curved so lightly that it was not easy to notice. Before Xie Xiangying could react, he took his hand and walked towards the tower.

This pagoda is called the Eight-fold Pagoda. It has been abandoned for a long time and is dilapidated. Only a few lanterns are scattered at night, which is still worth seeing.

Xie Xiangying followed Ling Lang all the way from the first floor to the eighth floor.The person who had been frozen on the Huashen car for a long time was slightly out of breath when he went up to the eighth floor in one breath.

Seeing that Xie Xiangying was a little tired, Ling Lang hugged him horizontally.

This kid is very strong, and the good things that are usually tributes from all over the world are not in vain.Xie Xiangying sighed inwardly, and found that Ling Lang had brought him to a place with a guardrail outside the room in the tower building.

Ling Lang raised his hand to sweep away the falling snow on the railing, and lifted Xie Xiangying onto the railing to face him.

Xie Xiangying turned his head to look, and behind him was the eight-storey high place, and the bottom was so dark and gloomy that he couldn't see it completely.Sitting under him was a wooden railing that had been in disrepair for a long time. Xie Xiangying held onto Ling Lang's arm tightly, fearing that if he accidentally fell from the tower, he would be smashed to pieces.

"Don't be afraid." Ling Lang said, stabilizing Xie Xiangying's body with his hands.

Xie Xiangying plunged headlong into the man's arms, his heart was pounding, and he thought it was easy for this man to say, if he had the ability, he would try it by sitting on the railing with his back facing him.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Ling Lang asked him.

Xie Xiangying nodded, hoping that the little bastard would let him down quickly.

"I didn't notice it just now." Ling Lang had a calm smile on his face, just looking at it made people feel angry.

Xie Xiangying said in his heart that he didn't realize that Ling Lang talked so much, and Ling Lang never farted with him before other than business.

"Do you know where this is?" Ling Lang asked him again.

Xie Xiangying shook his head, but did not speak.He didn't know what the place was called, but he knew it was a good place to kill.

Ling Lang said: "This place is called the Eightfold Pagoda, and it enshrines the gods of the Northern Qi Dynasty. In the past, when the soldiers went to war, the people would come to pray in the pagoda. After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, it was abandoned here, because the turbulent current situation made them understand that the gods Buddha cannot protect himself."

These words have never been heard from him.

Xie Xiangying felt that he had found a stable fulcrum, and loosened his grip on Ling Lang's arm.

Ling Lang looked at Xie Xiangying, and suddenly said: "You are very similar to an old friend of mine."

"..."

Xie Xiangying didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Ling Lang would find out that he was that old friend.

"His temper is a bit stubborn, and he is not as docile as you look."

Ling Lang looked at Xie Xiangying with such gentle eyes that it made Xie Xiangying feel a little dazed.The child's face is really pretty. When looking at someone so tenderly, it's easy to let people down.

Ling Lang said many words to him, suddenly Xie Xiangying's arm was protected by Ling Lang.

"Look at the sky."

Xie Xiangying turned his head, and the lights all over the sky flew towards the sky, and the dots of light gathered together, like a galaxy leading to the heaven.

It turns out that the Northern Qi Dynasty also had sky lanterns.

"Want it?" Ling Lang asked him.

Xie Xiangying didn't know what Ling Lang meant by asking him that. He said he wanted it, so would Ling Lang take the lamp from the sky and give it to him.

Seeing Ling Lang's appearance that he was looking forward to more than himself, Xie Xiangying still nodded.The next moment Ling Lang took out a crumpled sky lantern from the back of his waist.

Where did this kid come from.

Ling Lang carried Xie Xiangying off the railing, squatted on the ground and installed the sky lantern, took out the fire folder from his arms and put it in Xie Xiangying's hand.

"Make a wish, don't waste it." Ling Lang said to him.

Xie Xiangying lit the lamp, clasped his hands together, and made a very pious wish.

He doesn't want to be the emperor's teacher anymore, he's almost exhausted all these years.He hoped that Ling Lang would soon support Bei Qi's sky, so that he could sit back and relax in the future, and be able to lie comfortably on the bed and be a salted fish every day.

After Xie Xiangying made his wish, seeing Ling Lang looking at him quietly, he pointed at him.

"Me? I never make a wish, I leave this wish to you." Ling Lang gave Xie Xiangying a very bright smile, and the youth's self-confidence and spirit were brighter than the lights.

Xie Xiangying was slightly taken aback, then stretched out his hand and threw the bright lamp down from the tower.A gust of cold wind blew by, the lamp sank crookedly for a while, and soon flew up into the sky and became a lamp in the Milky Way.

Xie Xiangying smiled, thinking that God had heard his heartfelt voice.

Seeing this man's slightly raised lips, Ling Lang suddenly felt that he saw another person.The one who always keeps his back straight no matter where he is, and who always smiles at him.

The two spent the middle of the night in the eight-fold pagoda, Ling Lang was talking for most of the time, Xie Xiangying listened quietly, and for the remaining half of the time, the two were silent.

It's also a coincidence that I didn't plan to go to Taiping Street with the children, but now we stayed together in the middle of the night, even the sky lanterns were turned off.This child Ling Lang usually doesn't talk much to him in the palace, so why can he chat for so long with someone he doesn't know.

"What's your name?" Ling Lang asked suddenly.

Xie Xiangying didn't speak, but only pointed to the lotus flower embroidered on his robe.

"Lian, is this your name?"

Xie Xiangying lowered his eyes, this is Liansheng's name.

"suitable for you."

When Xie Xiangying heard Ling Lang say something, he slowly raised his eyes, and what he saw was the extremely gentle face under the light.

Xie Xiangying looked at this face, and his heart beat quickly.

The people on the street gradually dispersed, Xie Xiangying shuddered, and gestured twice in front of Ling Lang to indicate that he wanted to go back.

Ling Lang understood and led the people down the tower.

Xie Xiangying was sent back to Taiping Street by Ling Lang. When parting, Ling Lang twisted the silk flower behind Xie Xiangying's ear on his fingertips.

"Give this to me."

"Um……"

Xie Xiangying nodded, took one last look at Ling Lang in the snow, and headed towards Huihui Building.After taking off the makeup on his face and changing back into his clothes, he returned to Zhuli.

Hongyu was still guarding the house, when she heard movement outside the window, she hurriedly opened the door.

"Young Master, why did you come back so late? I heard people said there was a fire in Taiping Street. Are you okay, Young Master?" Hong Yu took off Xie Xiangying's snow-white cloak and put it on a shelf beside her.

"Have a drink with Mo Linquan before it's too late." Xie Xiangying sat by the charcoal fire and stretched out his hands to warm the fire. When he raised his eyes, he saw several brocade boxes, large and small, piled up on the table, and asked, "Director Sun, come here. Pass?"

Hongyu nodded and said: "I came here before dusk and gave some things, said to be new snacks made in the palace."

"You guys take it and eat." Xie Xiangying looked at the red charcoal fire burning in the copper basin, and regretted that he promised Liansheng to get on the float. He obviously wanted to refuse, but there was a voice in his mind that seemed to make the decision for him.He is Ling Lang bound to the system, not Lian Sheng.

Xie Xiangying looked unhappy, Hongyu stood by and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Over the years, Xie Xiangying's temperament has softened a lot. In the past, when someone said a few words in the palace, he would always tease them for a long time when he came back.Later, it seemed that he had been punished too many times, so he didn't bother to speak again, and just sat quietly in a daze.

In contrast, Hongyu still prefers Xie Xiangying's temperament a few years ago. Some words are better than being stuffed in the belly.

After being frightened by the fire on the float, and the cold wind blowing on the eight-fold pagoda in the middle of the night, Xie Xiangying coughed more and more in the middle of the night, and basically didn't close his eyes.

Because Xie Xiangying didn't go to the palace for half a month that night, and spent the whole day in Zhuli except drinking medicine and sleeping.When the weather is fine, he basks in the sun, and when the thin snow in the yard melts, Xie Xiangying feels that his illness has improved a lot.

"Owner!"

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Zhuoying's voice in his ears.

"How did you come."

This girl came here aboveboard, and she was not afraid of being seen by Ling Lang's spies.

Zhuo Ying said: "Someone from the Princess's mansion asked you to have a drink. I have called several times. I saw that the master didn't reply. Let's see if you are still alive."

"Go back after reading it, so as not to be seen."

I don't know if it's because of the system, Zhuoying's appearance has remained the same as a girl all these years, and I don't know how old this person is.

Seeing that Xie Xiangying was not in the mood, Zhuo Ying was about to fall asleep again, so she sat on the armrest of the rocking chair, planning to say something to this man.

"Master, I went to Taiping Street today, guess what I saw?"

"what."

It's been a long time since the Lantern Festival, what else can I see.

Zhuoying said: "It turns out that there is an unknown music hall called Mingyu Pavilion. I don't know what's wrong now. There are so many people. The dignitaries and dignitaries who come to listen to the music are all there." It's at the entrance of Taiping Street. I don't know what song it is, but it sounds so good?"

Xie Xiangying heard the words, smiled and said: "Where did you go to listen to the song?"

"What is that for, for people?"

"Well, you don't need to know anything else."

"Tell me." Zhuo Ying shook Xie Xiangying's arm.

Xie Xiangying glanced at Zhuo Ying, and suddenly curled his lips: "It's not suitable for children."

"I live longer than you." Zhuoying let go of Xie Xiangying's arm, and continued, "I heard from those people that many sons and sisters have hit a wall, and they can't even see the musicians in the restaurant for a day. You What are you saying about him, he is just a musician, another day I will smash him to death with a gold ingot."

"Why are you so angry?"

Hearing Zhuoying's tone, she sounded like a colleague whose job was robbed by the musician.

Zhuoying snorted coldly: "I just can't understand that person's frivolity, don't go to Shen's house in the music hall if you have the ability. Uncle Guo's house is like a school, go there for two years, and he will go back to his own house." Everyone can open a music hall."

"It's different, sometimes the more you disappear, the more seductive you are. You don't understand. Hey, let me ask you, have you seen any servants from Shen's residence in the crowd?" Go find out.

Zhuoying said: "Not today, I heard that he is busy with the affairs of the palace, and His Majesty will be able to hold the coronation ceremony in two years. The Sangong and Liuyuan are still empty."

"Crown ceremony."

Xie Xiangying blinked his eyes twice, thinking to himself that this child is already this old.

Zhuoying saw that Xie Xiangying's sleepiness was almost over, and continued: "Actually, over the years, although His Majesty has always troubled the Regent's Palace, he has been very kind to Zhuli, and this reward has never been cut off."

"Well...it's pretty good." Xie Xiangying's attitude was rather perfunctory.

"The master is not happy?"

Xie Xiangying smiled slightly, and said: "Ah Ying, that is a gift, it is an emperor showing favor to his subjects. If he is above one person, if he wants anything, he will give you something to play with. The other veterans we have Yes, nothing special."

Hearing what Xie Xiangying said, Zhuoying pursed her lips and said, "I didn't see the same thing. If Your Majesty personally sent things to other people every now and then, would he dare to take him? The master is His Majesty's imperial teacher, and he always has some affection. different from them."

"you……"

Xie Xiangying didn't know how to refute, Zhuo Ying was pure-minded and far from understanding the meaning.

Ling Lang is not like an ordinary child. At the age of eight or nine, he had brains and thoughts that were different from ordinary people. While pretending to be innocent in front of himself, he also ruthlessly eliminated dissidents.Over the years, countless officials who disagreed with Ling Lang disappeared from the court.

He Xie Xiangying couldn't play with Ling Lang when he was nine years old, and now Ling Lang will be eighteen after the new year, so he is still Ling Lang's opponent.If you don't hide, you will die before you die of illness.

Xie Xiangying thought so much in his heart, and seeing Zhuo Ying's carefree face, he suddenly couldn't say a word.

She has a system, so don't think about so many troubles.

Xie Xiangying had seen Ling Lang since the Shangyuan Festival, and Xie Xiangying hadn't seen Ling Lang for more than half a month.Shen Weichuan used to be the favorite to come to Zhuli to eat wine, but now he is busy thinking about Ling Lang's backyard, and he hasn't come over for several days.

While Xie Xiangying was muttering, Shen Weichuan's carriage stopped at the bamboo fence at night, saying that the Empress Dowager Shen had something important to call him into the palace.

The two of them entered from the west gate with lanterns and walked to Changle Palace on foot.

Seeing Shen Weichuan frowning all the time, Xie Xiangying couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle Guo, what's wrong, there are white hairs on the sideburns."

Shen Weichuan sighed, and said: "Nephew doesn't understand, the choice of concubine is related to everyone in the court. Your Majesty avoids talking about it, and the Empress Dowager insists on establishing a queen. I am really in a dilemma."

"You might as well decide on a few suitable candidates first. The sons of the generals' families are all sons, so it's probably a dead end. Or, look outside of Northern Qi."

Xie Xiangying glanced at Shen Weichuan, Shen Weichuan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about Xie Xiangying's words.

The two were walking when a carriage passed by slowly behind them.

This carriage is not spacious and can only accommodate one person. Although it is not grand, it is really delicate and beautiful.

"What kind of carriage is that?" Xie Xiangying asked.

Shen Weichuan glanced at it, smiled slightly and said, "A carriage that makes people reach the sky in one step."

Reaching the sky in one step, can this car fly through people?Shen Weichuan spoke strangely.

When the two arrived at Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager was not wearing court clothes, but only a royal blue brocade dress, with a few emerald flower hairpins tied around her hair.

Time has not spoiled the beauty, except for being more mature, the Epiphyllum, Empress Dowager Shen, is even more unattainable.

There is no other meaning in calling Xie Xiangying here this time.

Ling Lang was devoted to the front, and never paid much attention to the affairs of the harem. In the early years, Shen Weichuan and the Queen Mother mentioned a few innocent women to Ling Lang, but Ling Lang rejected them on the grounds that the situation was uncertain and the current situation was turbulent.At this moment Ling Lang is at a good age, and if he doesn't become a queen, he has to put a few caring people in the palace.

After much deliberation, Queen Mother Shen felt that Xie Yin was the most suitable person for this matter.

"The daughter of Prime Minister Wang's family will be sixteen this year. Taifu Xie can understand His Majesty's thoughts best. Your Majesty doesn't care about Ai's words, but cares about yours. If you have time, remember to say a few more words before Your Majesty." Looking at the begonia flower hairpin on her temples, she said lightly.

This Prime Minister Wang is from Ling Lang's aunt's family, and the daughter of the Wang family is the queen, so the ministers in the court must have no objections.

Xie Xiangying's complexion is not very good. Over the years, due to the system's setting, he has been obedient to Ling Lang. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a greedy minister who only wants to please Ling Lang.It's no wonder that Queen Mother Shen said that he can best understand Ling Lang's mind.

Xie Xiangying was lowering his head when Xue Niang came in, leaned down and whispered something in Empress Dowager Shen's ear.

Empress Dowager Shen frowned slightly, and asked her in a low voice: "What background?"

"Not an innocent person, just like this..." Xue Niang glanced at Xie Xiangying, but didn't finish her sentence.

Empress Dowager Shen's eyes drooped, and after Xueniang left, her smile gradually returned, and she gave Shen Weichuan and Xie Xiangying a few more instructions before releasing her from Changle Palace.

Xie Xiangying thought about the expression of the Empress Dowager Shen just now, and asked Shen Weichuan: "But what happened? The Empress Dowager looks very preoccupied."

Shen Weichuan sighed after hearing the words: "I heard that His Majesty wants to bring someone back from outside the palace, and the Queen Mother is in a hurry."

"Didn't the Empress Dowager hope that Ling Lang would be able to contribute to Northern Qi? Isn't it just in line with the Empress Dowager's wish that His Majesty choose someone himself?"

"I can't give birth."

Shen Weichuan glanced at Xie Xiangying and smiled meaningfully.

What does it mean that you can't give birth? Could it be that the child won't give birth?

Xie Xiangying didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but since he had already entered the palace, he planned to go to Tongyou Hall in person and ask Ling Lang if he had any opinions on the matter of choosing a concubine.

After parting with Shen Weichuan, Ling Lang turned around and headed for Tongyou Hall.

In the past, the courtyard door of Tongyou Hall was always open, but today it was closed tightly.

Xie Xiangying stood outside the door and knocked a few times, a thin voice came after a while.

"who."

"it's me."

The gate of the courtyard was opened, and it was Ning Yun who had taken care of him in the West Side Hall who opened the door.

"My lord, why are you here today? What should I do if I'm sick from the cold?" Ning Yun looked at Xie Xiangying with concern in his eyes.

Xie Xiangying said: "Just now the Queen Mother summoned me and said something. I want to discuss with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is going to sleep now."

"Never." Ning Yun stood at the door, her eyes flickered, she thought for a moment before letting Xie Xiangying in.

The two went to the corridor, and many people were carrying things back and forth.

Xie Xiangying glanced at those people, and found that the east side hall was lit, and the door was also open, and the palace people were just moving in and out of the door.

"Why is the Dongpian Hall lit today?" Xie Xiangying asked.

Ningyun glanced at it, and was worried that she didn't know how to answer, when Sun Liangyu walked over not far away.

Seeing Ningyun and Xie Xiangying standing together, Sun Liangyu said in harmony: "It has snowed heavily for several days, many things are moldy, and the palace people are throwing things."

"so much."

Xie Xiangying knew that these things had to be thrown away, and suddenly felt that the snowy night was not as romantic as it seemed, it was quite extravagant.

Sun Liangyu glanced at the Dongpian Hall, Ningyun understood, and took the key to the Dongpian Hall.

"Your Majesty looking for His Majesty?"

"Yes."

"this way please."

Sun Liangyu took Xie Xiangying to Yuhuachi.

"Your Majesty, are you taking a bath?" Xie Xiangying asked.

Sun Liangyu smiled and said: "It's nothing, Your Majesty has ordered that the Taifu can do whatever he wants."

"Thank you, Manager Sun."

Sun Liangyu opened the door of the palace for Xie Xiangying, and let Xie Xiangying go in, while he himself guarded the door.

Xie Xiangying had visited this Yuhua Pool before, entering from the gate was a row of screens, like a labyrinth, it took a long time to walk to the pool for bathing.

Xie Xiangying bypassed the last screen, and saw Ling Lang leaning against the pool in the heat, with his back to him.

The child has indeed grown up, and his shoulders are much wider than his own.

Xie Xiangying walked a few steps and was about to salute when he heard Ling Lang's deep voice: "Do you remember what Director Sun told you?"

Remember what, throwing things in the snow?

Xie Xiangying was still puzzled, and Ling Lang said two words without looking back.

"come over."

The man's voice had an inherent majesty, Xie Xiangying walked a few steps closer and was about to speak when he was suddenly grabbed by the waist by the person in the pool and dragged into the water.

The warm water drenched the clothes on his body thoroughly, and his wrists were clamped by strong hands.Xie Xiangying didn't stand firm and fell into the pool.

A big mouthful of water choked into his throat, Xie Xiangying closed his eyes tightly, and his heart and lungs hurt badly for a while.

It's over, he won't be the first person in Beiqi to drown in the bathhouse, it's really shameful.

While still in shock, he was rescued in one breath.

Lips and teeth are lingering, and the slender knuckles are interspersed between the black hair.

Xie Xiangying opened his eyes wide. Ling Lang's face in the water was so close that his heartbeat almost stopped.
