After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Xie Mingyue looked along Li Chengqi's well-proportioned hand, the little emperor's underwear was not properly worn.

Because he had rolled twice on the bed just now, now he was hanging loosely on his body. He raised his head, and the curve of his throat was clearly visible, fragile and slender.

Xie Mingyue's eyes were filled with thick darkness.

Li Chengqi's throat was close at hand, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if tempting someone to put his hand on it.

Xie Mingyue waved her hand.

"Your Majesty is impolite." He said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Even though he said this, there was no sign in his expression that he thought he was wrong.

"Your Majesty," Qing Mi's voice sounded from outside the bed curtain, "it's already packed."

Li Chengqi threw the sword on the bed, "Please, sir."

Xie Mingyue nodded slightly at Li Chengqi, lifted the curtain and went out.

Qing Ai stood outside the bed curtain respectfully.

Li Chengqi flicked the sword with his fingers, Xie Mingyue was the one who sent the sword, and Xie Mingyue was the one who was unhappy when he saw the sword. Does he have to send the sword to the Taimiao to live up to Xie Mingyue's intention of giving the sword?

He pushed aside the pile of books on the bed and lay down straight.

The sword was placed on the mattress less than two fingers away from him, the scabbard was black, and the bed was beautiful, there was a subtle contrast.

Li Chengqi ran across the scabbard with five fingers, remembering Xie Mingyue's appearance just now, gathered five fingers together, and patted on the scabbard lightly, "Go to sleep." He said to the sword.

He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

"clatter."

What is it?

Li Chengqi touched his face blankly.

Is it slippery, cold, is it water, is it—tears?

Li Chengqi was stunned, and touched it with her hand again, only to find that the tears pouring out of her eye sockets were actually his own tears.

Crying alone?

This feeling is too strange, Li Chengqi has not experienced it for many years.

"I'm going to meet Li Yanyin with Cui Yin's sword," he heard himself speak in a hoarse and cold voice, which made people shudder. Punishment, the country's traitors will be punished, Cui Min's sword is here, please look at it." The voice tried to calm itself down, but it couldn't stop trembling.

He seemed to be suffering from a cold, and the words he uttered were trembling, but sharp, "Li Yanyin looked at me for a long time, as if he had never seen me before, Xuandu, guess what my good father said to me?"

He didn't need Xie Xuandu's answer, he continued on his own, "He said, is it Gu's turn now?"

Li Chengqi laughed, tears streaming wantonly on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, only deep resentment, "He thought I was here to kill him, how could I, one incident of blood relatives is enough today, I just persuaded him to abdicate."

"He has been on the throne for many years but has made no achievements. There are powerful enemies outside, and courtiers are monopolizing power inside. The country is boiling against the sky, and the people are in dire straits. I said to him, please enjoy the title of Supreme Emperor, and I will support him with the country." The thunderstorm roared. In the dark night, Li Chengqi's pale face was illuminated, "I used to think that Li Yanyin, as the emperor, could not secure the world, but he could protect the people in this capital." There was a smile on his lips, but his body was trembling uncontrollably, "Scorching On the day I was sent away, I suddenly understood that no one can protect my royal father, not even himself."

Xie Mingyue gently held his hand.

Like a person who was about to drown, he clasped Xie Mingyue's hand tightly tightly, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Xie Mingyue's pale pupils reflected his distressed face, Xie Mingyue's eyes were too complicated, Li Chengqi didn't want to think about what kind of mood Xie Mingyue was facing when he was crying.

"Xuan Du." He said these two words in a hoarse voice.

Xie Xuandu.

"Xuandu, you didn't see that Cui Yan was stabbed several times and still not falling. He was held down and kneeled in front of me. I don't know if you believe it or not. When I saw this scene, I remembered that he was holding me and shooting an arrow. Li Chengqi closed her eyes, tears rolled down like beads, "I don't think about the blood and blood relationship with Cui Yan, but I think about a person like him, who will kneel in front of me one day."

"You are the lord of the world," Xie Mingyue said in an extremely gentle tone, "it is only right for anyone to kneel in front of you." He gently coaxed, persuading, "Cui Min's crime cannot be punished, you have done your best. .”

According to Xie Mingyue, Li Chengqi was beyond reproach.

Li Chengqi shook his head, he had a wonderful sense of detachment, he could see Xie Mingyue, and he could also see himself trembling like a pigeon whose feathers were wet by the heavy rain.

He looked a little amused.

He sighed that he was still too young at that time, and his heart was still too soft. When he killed Cui Yin, he had complicated emotions, and he felt endless shame and fear in his heart when he forced Li Yanyin to abdicate, but he still did it.

He has always been weak, but when he put the saber on Li Yanyin's table, his hands did not tremble at all.

He calmly faced Li Yanyin with a falsely distressed expression, and stated his uncle's crimes.

The cry of Long Live was like a landslide. He held Li Yanyin's abdication edict in his hand, and solemnly accepted the worship of all the officials.

In the middle of the night, the prince who had just monopolized power summoned Xie Mingyue into the palace.

One thing that Li Chengqi hasn't changed from the beginning to the end is that when he is determined to do one thing, when he kills someone, no matter how sad or reluctant he is before and after the event, as if he regrets the beginning, as if it hurts his heart, it will not affect him. do this.

For example, he felt guilty for forcing Li Yanyin to abdicate, but no matter how many times he was given another chance, he would do so without hesitation.

There is no conflict at all between his murder and his mourning over this man.

Li Chengqi watched as if watching a play, and he saw Xie Mingyue was tightly grasping a hand by himself, and his fingers were holding the back of Xie Mingyue's hand, leaving streaks of bruise on it.

But he couldn't see it. Xie Mingyue hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out her hand, and gently stroked Li Chengqi's long hair scattered on her side.

Li Chengqi suddenly opened his eyes.

The sky is bright.

As soon as Li Chengqi opened his eyes, he was pierced by the sun and closed them. He frowned and said, "Who did it?"

The palace man who tied up the curtain said tremblingly: "Teacher Xie asked the servants to do it."

Thanks……

Only then did Li Chengqi remember that Xie Mingyue stayed in Changle Palace last night, suppressing his anger, he asked, "What time is it now?"

"A quarter of an hour." The man answered him.

Li Chengqi opened his eyes instantly.

Xie Mingyue stood by the bed, looking down at him.

Li Chengqi sat up from the bed.

"Mr. Xie," Li Chengqi gritted her teeth and said, "Gu asked Mr. Gu to stay here for a night in the rainy night. Gu never thought that Mr. Gu would be grateful to Gu, but shouldn't Mr. be repaid with revenge?"

"It's getting late, Your Majesty." Xie Mingyue said: "Didn't Your Majesty promise to invite a master of swordsmanship to the palace? I thought, why don't you just get up and practice swords at the time of Mao, and then read when you are fully awake. How does Your Majesty feel?" ?”

"I don't think so." Li Chengqi replied very decisively.

He rubbed his swollen and aching temples.

He dreamed of Xie Mingyue at night, and saw Xie Mingyue as soon as he opened his eyes during the day. He never wanted to think about such a terrible thing before.

Li Chengqi's hair was up in a mess, and he pulled the messy strands behind his ears, "Why don't you leave, sir?" Li Chengqi, who couldn't get angry after being woken up early in the morning, was very upset, "Could it be possible that Mr. clothes?"

Even though the inner garment was baggy, the little emperor's beautiful waistline could still be seen.

Like a willow branch that has just been plucked, it is flexible, but very fresh.

Xie Mingyue said: "Don't dare." After finishing speaking, he withdrew.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue's background in puzzlement.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in Xie Mingyue's mind more and more.

In the past, Xie Mingyue had a track record in handling things, but now she is more and more free-wheeling.

It had been less than half an hour since everything had been tidied up, when Qing Ai knelt down and tied the jade around his waist, Li Chengqi said casually, "Has Master left?"

Qing Ai said: "Teacher Xie is reading in the hall."

So he still has to take care of Xie Mingyue's breakfast?

Li Chengqi wanted to applaud herself for keeping his courtiers to stay overnight in the bedroom, and to have dinner with them in the morning, he is really a virtuous king who can be remembered in history.

Is Xie Mingyue just missing a breakfast at Changle Palace?

he said heartily.

But since Xie Mingyue is here, unless he doesn't eat, there is no reason not to call Mr. Xie after passing on the meal.

So the two sat down and had a meal.

Since neither of them talked at meal time, the breakfast was very silent.

After dinner, Li Chengqi obediently went to the imperial study with Xie Mingyue.

In Li Chengqi's most terrifying dream, she has never dreamed of such a frenzied scene.

Fortunately, such a terrible thing only lasted for half a day, which made him feel a little bit relieved.

In the imperial study room, Xie Che and Yuan Jian were already waiting. When they saw Xie Mingyue and Li Chengqi coming together, they both got up to greet them. Both of them were stunned.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue with a calm expression, felt that there was nothing wrong, and wanted to touch her face again, but because of the presence of Xie Che and Yuan Jian, she just nodded and sat on the chair.

Xie Mingyue opened the book.

The atmosphere in the study was very strange.

Before, Xie Che could quietly make small gestures with him, or whisper a few words when Xie Mingyue turned his head, but today he looked at the book in his hand without looking sideways, and nodded from time to time, as if he had nothing else to do.

Not to mention Yuan Jian, he was always concentrating in class, no matter how hot Li Chengqi and Xie Che's private note was, he couldn't see it.

Li Chengqi used to feel that Yuan Jian standing beside her was like a door god, but now there was another Xie Che, and the two door gods blocked him tightly.

Li Chengqi gestured to Xie Che with her eyes several times, but she didn't get any response from Master Xie.

Xie Mingyue's voice stopped.

Li Chengqi sat up straight immediately, reading a book obediently.

"If Your Majesty has something to say to Xie Che, you can just say it directly." Xie Mingyue smiled and said, looking very understanding, "I will talk about it after you finish speaking."

Li Chengqi said decisively: "I have nothing to say."

"Your Majesty really has nothing to say?"

"Nothing to say."

Xie Mingyue continued talking.

Li Chengqi sat on the chair dryly. Because Yuan Jian and Xie Che didn't speak, it was rare for him to listen to the class today.

He admitted that Mr. Xie spoke very well, but there was nothing that Li Chengqi wanted to hear.

Xie Che finally took a look at Li Chengqi when he started playing with the brush, and stopped talking.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Che.

Once again, Xie Che hesitated to speak, and looked at Li Chengqifu, then looked away.

His abnormality was too obvious, which made Li Chengqi feel helpless that you people would get together if you went crazy.

Li Chengqi really wanted to send someone to investigate, to see if there were any rebellious officials and thieves with evil intentions who had laid a spell on Xie Mingyue, Xie Che and others.

Since Li Chengqi came to the study, the pen that he hadn't used a few times was smashed by him, and the wolf's hair fell from between his two fingers.

A middle-aged man in a scarlet official uniform stood quietly at the door.

Xie Mingyue closed the book after finishing this section, and gently let the little emperor rest for a while.

Xie Che waited for Xie Mingyue to go out, then turned his head to face Li Chengqi, but did not look into the little emperor's eyes, lowered his voice very low, and said unnaturally: "Last night, my... my father stayed in Changle Palace?"

Is that why you ignored Gu today?

Li Chengqi was silent for a few breaths.

Yuan Jian's expression showed a bit of surprise.

What surprised him wasn't that Xie Mingyue stayed in Changle Palace, but what surprised him was that Xie Che asked so bluntly.

Seeing Yuan Jian's expression, Li Chengqi suddenly realized that she ignored a very important fact when she stayed with Xie Mingyue last night. His identity had not changed, and neither had Xie Mingyue's.

But the relationship between the two is not a model of eternal monarchs and ministers. Xie Mingyue stayed overnight in Changle Palace last night. In the eyes of others, either the little emperor was too flattering, or Xie Mingyue was already arrogant and domineering enough to stay in the palace at will. middle.

Moreover, the place of residence is Changle Palace.

The palace of the emperors of all dynasties.

Such a great shame and humiliation is simply worthy of the clan's relatives going to the Taimiao to cry for their ancestors.

"This matter," Li Chengqi lowered her voice lower than Xie Che, "Many people know?" He had an impossible fantasy.

Xie Che's expression was indescribable.

Li Chengqi turned to Yuan Jian, smiled and said, "Did you hear anything at Dushi last night?"

"No." Yuan Jian glanced at Xie Mingyue who was talking with his subordinates not far away, and answered honestly. Before Li Chengqi could breathe a sigh of relief, he said again: "I didn't hear it last night, but this morning."

Li Chengqi said dryly: "Yes."

What is the difference between what you heard last night and what you heard this morning?

In Xie Che's eyes, Li Chengqi's reaction was equivalent to acquiescence.

With Xie Mingyue's great power, no one would dare to say anything when he stayed in the palace. As Xie Mingyue's son in name, Xie Che should be complacent because of Xie Mingyue's power.

But ever since he heard that Xie Mingyue was left in the palace by the little emperor last night, he felt uneasy, as if he had to wait for Li Chengqi to tell him in person.

Xie Mingyue stood at the door of the study and talked with someone, and the voice came in neither high nor low.

"What did you hear? Let me hear it, Gu is very curious." Li Chengqi asked with a smile.

Both were silent.

Li Chengqi is no stranger to this kind of reaction, "Isn't it just that you are flattering and domineering, Mr. is arrogant and domineering?" He still smiled, without any displeasure, "It's hard to say?"

The expressions of the two sons changed suddenly, not knowing whether the little emperor's question was really innocent or angry, Li Chengqi immediately said: "Don't kneel."

Those who listened were even more apprehensive.

"It's just some villain's jealous words, if you say it, it may pollute His Majesty's ears." Yuan Jian said cautiously.

Li Chengqi was a little funny seeing his cautious appearance.

Even if he told Xie Cheyuanjian that he was not angry at this time, he would be considered even more angry.

"I stayed overnight in Changle Palace." Li Chengqi answered Xie Che's question.

He has always found this kind of gossip very annoying, and he could see rumors spread in different ways when he went to court before.

For example, how does this lord guess the holy will? Li Chengqi can swear that he looked at this lord a few more times because there were a few scratches on his face that were scratched by nails.

But after all, most of these rumors circulated among officials are facts, and the speculation is also very measured. They are all harmless words, and it is not convenient for Li Chengqi to go to war over such a trivial matter.

After getting the answer from the little emperor who was thinking about it, Xie Che found that instead of getting better, his mood became more gloomy.

He thought, it's not just that you are flattering.

It means that for the sake of the throne, the little emperor did not hesitate to commit himself to Xie Mingyue, serving others with sex, seeking a momentary favor, letting Xie Mingyue stay overnight yesterday was a fair and honest seduction.

Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Che, who seemed to have endless thoughts, and asked doubtfully, "What? You also want to live in Changle Palace?"

Both Xie Che and Yuan Jian looked at Li Chengqi in disbelief.

Li Chengqi patted the back of Yuan Jian's hand, and said disapprovingly: "Dushi should come and live together. Although Changle Palace is not big, it must be more than enough for the two of you to live here."

The eyeballs of both of them were about to pop out.

That is Changle Palace, the emperor's bedroom!

Without the emperor's permission, even the concubines were not allowed to stay overnight in the main hall, but the little emperor said that it was as common as sleeping in a posthouse for foreign ministers to stay in Changle Palace.

The little emperor was radiant, as if if Xie Che and Yuan Jian agreed, he would send someone to clean up the room for them two immediately.

"Not coming?" Li Chengqi asked.

Looks heartless.

Seeing the young man's bright face, Xie Che couldn't help but laugh for a moment, and suddenly felt that the haze had just been swept away.

"No." Xie Che laughed that he was thinking too much, "I'm very serious about bed, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well."

Yuan Jian was dumbfounded when he heard his answer. Seeing the little emperor looking at him with dark eyes, he seemed to be waiting for an answer. He didn't dare to answer so freely like Xie Che, and felt that it would be too silly to answer seriously, so he stumbled and said: " Minister, the minister is not allowed to stay outside at home."

Li Chengqi laughed out loud.

Xie Che just looked at Li Chengqi and smiled without saying a word.

Yuan Jian felt her face was burning like fire, she wished she could bury her head in the ground, she didn't dare to look at the little emperor, even hearing his laughter felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Xie Mingyue walked in, Yuan Jian saw Xie Mingyue coming over for the first time in his life, and had the illusion that tears filled his eyes.

Seeing Xie Mingyue approaching, Li Chengqi stopped laughing, but her eyes were full of narrow smiles.

Xie Mingyue picked up the pitiful writing brush on the table that had been blighted by Li Chengqi. He probably wanted to write a few words on the book. Of course, such a pen can't be used, "Your Majesty is happy?"

Li Chengqi thought for a while and said, "I'm a little happy."

"What are you happy about?" Xie Mingyue asked.

Li Chengqi thought for a moment, and glanced at the faces of the two of them, but finally couldn't hold back, and said with a smile: "Gu Xiao, the two young masters want to live in Changle Palace, Gu agreed, and they are all embarrassed."

Xie Mingyue also smiled, and tapped Li Chengqi's forehead with a pen, "No joke."

"How can there be a joke?" Li Chengqi said unconvinced: "You are alone."

The strange feeling in Xie Che's heart slowly seeped out again.

Xie Mingyue put down the pen, he seemed to have sensed that Xie Che was in a bad mood, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Che immediately replied, "Nothing."

He shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in his head.

What am I thinking?

Li Chengqi spent this hour full of doubts, finally waiting for Xie Mingyue to say that today is over.

Yuan Jian and Xie Che greeted Xie Mingyue respectfully. Xie Che seemed to want to say something to Li Chengqi, but because of Xie Mingyue's presence, he nodded slightly to the little emperor and went out with Yuan Jian.

"Your Majesty." Xie Mingyue said.

Li Chengqi, who had just stood up from the chair, felt helpless when she heard the words, and sat back obediently, "Sir, please tell me."

He doesn't hide his emotions, so that people can see the bottom at a glance.

Xie Mingyue did not answer.

Li Chengqi sat and stared blankly at Xie Mingyue.

The incense in the room has been burned out.

Li Chengqi supported her chin with her hands, "Sir?" He was puzzled.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry?" Xie Mingyue asked softly.

Li Chengqi nodded, "Very urgent."

"Be calm when things happen," Xie Mingyue pushed the book in front of Li Chengqi, speaking very grandly, as if she had no selfish intentions, "Your Majesty, why don't you stay in the study for a while and practice patience."

Li Chengqi took the book from Xie Mingyue, casually flipped through a couple of pages, and put it in his hand. He joked, "Sir, stay here alone. It's not Gu, but the little duke outside."

The sun was scorching outside, and the heat was blowing in. If it wasn't for the ice basin in the study, Li Chengqi would probably not even want to step into the study.

But Xie Che was not stupid, he couldn't just stand obediently at the door and wait just because Li Chengqi didn't come out.

Xie Mingyue laughed when she heard the words, "Your Majesty is right, it's because I didn't think about it."

"Sir, it's not just for calming down, is it?" Li Chengqi asked with a smile.

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that Your Majesty has found a master of swordsmanship. I ordered someone to open a place in the southwest of the Imperial Garden for His Majesty to practice swords." There are few people disturbing the southwest of the Imperial Garden, and there are many tall trees around the lake. The breeze blows over Pinghu Lake, and the summer night is extremely cool. "The time for sword practice is set at You hour. Does Your Majesty think there is anything wrong with it?"

Xie Mingyue has always done everything properly, otherwise Li Chengqi couldn't only value Xie Mingyue among so many children from aristocratic families like Zhilanyushu, it couldn't be because he was born more beautiful than others.

"Sir, is there anything that worries me?" He nodded in satisfaction, and then changed the topic, "Young Master's expression is not right today, and Gu is very worried. Do you know the reason?"

Xie Mingyue also laughed, "It should be exposed to the sun."

Li Chengqi choked, "Yesterday, Duke Qi also caught the sun?"

Xie Mingyue nodded seriously.

"Where's sir?" Li Chengqi suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Mingyue gave a half-respect to the little emperor in a very humble manner, "Because of His Majesty's kindness, I have never been exposed to the sun or rain."

Li Chengqi bent her eyes, presumably at this moment, Xie Mingyue, who was rumored outside the palace, was about to usurp power, Xie Mingyue would not be ignorant of these gossip, mentioning the rain today does not seem to be grateful for the emperor's kindness, but seems to be eccentric.

Even if it is not yin and yang, there is no deep meaning.

Li Chengqi was upset, but she didn't show it at all. Instead, she grabbed Xie Mingyue's arm and stopped Xie Mingyue's movements. He ignored Xie Mingyue's sudden gaze and said apologetically, "This gift should not be seen by Mr. , on the contrary, it is because of being self-willed for a while, which affects my husband's clarity, and I feel terrified in my heart."

Xie Mingyue asked back; "Are you involved?"

"Sir, you know the world's affairs without going out. If you think about it, you can't hide this trivial matter from your husband." The young man smiled and showed his white teeth, looking pure and innocent. Bar?"

"Your Majesty said that," Xie Mingyue suddenly said, "What happened to the minister's stay in Changle Palace yesterday?" For some reason, Li Chengqi always felt that Xie Mingyue's smile was not so reassuring, or rather, it was a little subtle.

Li Chengqi frowned slightly.

Even if Xie Mingyue's greed for power is a fact, Li Chengqi doesn't think it's a good thing for Xie Mingyue to spread the rumors that the powerful ministers are arrogant and domineering.

Aren't the rumors outside what he thought?

"Your Majesty don't need to worry about this little matter, there will be no more rumors," Xie Mingyue said with a soft smile, and Li Chengqi noticed it in a gentle voice.

If he hadn't known Xie Mingyue for more than ten years, he would trust Xie Mingyue involuntarily. Xie Mingyue gently took his hand away, "There will be no more in the future." Mr. Xie said.
