After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Li Chengqi is not in a good mood.

Anyone who braved the heat from Changle Palace to Changning Palace would not be in a good mood, besides——Xie Mingyue was not there.

Xie Mingyue was not there.

But it should be the most normal thing that Xie Mingyue is not in the Changning Palace, because the Young Emperor is young and difficult to take charge, so Xie Mingyue will handle official duties in the palace.

Li Chengqi was thoughtful, a few months was not too long, it was enough for him to get used to Xie Mingyue being in the palace, but he was rather surprised that he was not there.

The officials on duty in the main hall of Changning Hall were busy as usual, Li Chengqi signaled not to disturb, and went straight to the back hall.

The door of the back hall was closed tightly, and when the emperor came, some palace servants opened the door for Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi stepped in.

Xie Mingyue is not here, so the documents to be read today are naturally in Xie's mansion, the desks are tidy, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones are neatly arranged in different categories, monotonous, clean and boring... huh?

Li Chengqi walked to the desk and picked up the round-headed pen rest on the desk. The color is warm orange, the brain is round and the mouth is big, and it is doing the posture of a tiger roaring. The mouth thinks it is very fierce, but in fact it is not scary at all. It is not like a tiger, but like a big cat.

The pen rest is made of ceramics, the material is not very fine, and the corners are a bit rough.

Li Chengqi glanced at it, and there was no payment below.

This is not something in the palace.

A terrible guess suddenly came to Li Chengqi's mind. Could it be that Xie Mingyue brought it up by herself?

He rubbed the tiger's head.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Li Chengqi said heartily.

This gadget was probably brought by Xie Che.

He put the pen rest back to its original position, and put the pen on the pen rest on it.

The pen is an ordinary bamboo tube pen, but there are one or two dents on the end, as if it was bitten out with teeth.

There is nothing to see in this room, but there are some memorials and documents that have been stored for many years. Li Chengqi felt bored and went out.

If there is no business, it is actually very boring to stay in the palace. The days are long and there are only a few things to pass the time.

Li Chengqi walked into the studio slowly.

The palace people in the painting room hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, so they were unavoidably flustered when they greeted him.

Li Chengqi looked up at the painting leisurely.

There are clouds of works by famous masters in the painting room, and Li Yanyin's paintings hanging in it are not inferior at all. Li Yanyin is especially good at landscapes, looking at them makes people feel like they are in the scene, like birds singing in an empty mountain, and cicadas singing and a quiet forest right in front of them.

Li Chengqi sighed softly, startled the palace servants who were walking on thin ice with him, and almost knelt down.

People in the palace said that the new emperor was not more lenient than the previous emperor, and he beat and scolded him frequently, even killing people.

Therefore, seeing the little emperor unpreparedly for the first time, I felt uneasy, terrified, and forced a smile to accompany him. Now I heard Li Chengqi sigh, and I was afraid that he would be dissatisfied.

If he hadn't become emperor, Li Yanyin would definitely be a master enough to be famous in history. Although his name is also in the history books now, a master who has reached the pinnacle of mountains and rivers is probably much better than an emperor who has done nothing but made no achievements in his life.

Li Chengqi walked in.

When Li Yanyin was in power, the painting room was very prosperous, and there were many people accompanying him, and the status of the palace people in the painting room was far higher than that of other palace people. Because of the ability to reach heaven, when Li Yanyin was really unwilling to go to court, the courtiers had no choice but to bribe the palace servants of the painting house and tactfully persuade the emperor.

Even the emperor, the empress Cui Taoxi, can't see it, but the palace people can easily see it every day.

So after that, Cui Taoxi was very tired of the studio and Li Chengqi could understand that if he was Cui Taoxi, he would wish that Li Yanyin would burn this place down after his death.

Li Chengqi took out a delicate box from the box with ease.

He didn't intend to let others take over, so the palace people didn't dare to move.

Open the box, there are dozens of yellowed drawing papers inside.

Li Chengqi took out one at random. What was painted on the painting was a gardenia hairpin with budding flowers, clear and dewy. He continued to flip down, and the rest of the hairpins were all very elegant and refined, without any human fireworks , beauty is beautiful, but only the way women wear it.

Li Chengqi has to admit that Li Yanyin's painting is much better than him.

Li Yanyin can do everything, but he can't be a good emperor.

Cui Yan probably valued this point back then, so he tried his best to protect Li Yanyin as emperor.

Li Chengqi put down the drawing, feeling even more uneasy.

He often came to this place before he was enthroned, because Li Yanyin asked him to come to write calligraphy and painting. After he became enthroned, he didn't come a few times for more than ten years, and occasionally came to find a few calligraphy and painting that he wanted to hang in his study.

Li Chengqi threw the drawing paper into the box, turned and left.

The palace people suddenly felt relieved, and said in unison: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

Qing Ai stood beside the chariot, bowing her head respectfully.

Li Chengqi pressed the center of her eyebrows, "Go back to Changle Palace."

When they arrived at Changle Palace, the wood he ordered earlier had already been delivered. Li Chengqi's words were general. According to Li Chengqi's intention, wooden strips with a width of one inch and a thickness of two inches were placed on the table, and half of the table was neatly piled up.

Li Chengqi casually picked up a piece of brown wood, the wood gave off a faint aroma when heated, it was a bit like sandalwood, but it was different.

Li Chengqi sat down at the table and met Xuanfeng's dark eyes.

Xuanfeng saw Li Chengqi's hair blowing subconsciously, and was ready to peck him a few mouthfuls. She never thought that Li Chengqi's hand was much more honest than before, and she didn't intend to move it. She relaxed for a while, and went to drink on her own water.

Li Chengqi thought for a while, and took away the porcelain cup that fed Xuanfeng with water.

Xuanfeng watched helplessly as the paw took away her porcelain cup, furiously said, "Ji——"

Seeing what Li Chengqi had done, the palace people standing nearby had no doubt that if this was not Xuanfeng's porcelain cup, but some child's teacup, their Majesty would be able to drink the water from the cup in front of others.

Xuanfeng's eyes showed a kind of grief and indignation that if I was angry, I would bump my head to death here.

tyrant!

Faint!

Everyone gets killed... Li Chengqi peeled a pine nut and sent it to Xuanfeng's mouth.

Xuanfeng paused, swallowed the pine nuts in one gulp, then turned his head away fiercely, ignoring Li Chengqi.

Then another peeled pine nut was delivered to Xuanfeng.

Xuanfeng widened her black eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed the pine nuts in the dog emperor's hand.

Slap a sweet jujube. Li Chengqi is too good at it. She eats three pine nuts. After thinking about it, Xuanfeng rubbed her furry head awkwardly against Li Chengqi's fingers.

Li Chengqi patted the broken shell on his hand and picked up a piece of wood.

The wood grain is fine and smooth to the touch.

His Guanghan palace hairpin is obviously not suitable to be made of wood. The palace room needs to be inlaid with gold filigree gemstones to look good. The fat rabbit in the palace can be made of suet jade and embedded in it.

Using wood as a hairpin, simple and plain is much more beautiful than complicated.

Can't make the Guanghan palace hairpin he wanted, but made a plain style, who is it for?

Li Chengqi's other hand holding the carving knife paused.

That was also for Gu.he thought.

Many tricks went through his mind several times, but none of them fit Li Chengqi's mind.

Whether it's plum blossoms, auspicious clouds, or other patterns, it doesn't match...the way he looks in white.

Li Chengqi's thoughts were uncontrollable, and her heart was also irritable. Holding a carving knife, she stabbed it down expressionlessly.

Two inches into the table!

Li Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at her hand in disbelief.

So many days of his sword practice played a role?

Li Chengqi never mentioned how sharp the carving knife was.

If he had had such great strength in his previous life, he wouldn't have just thrown the memorial down in the face of the courtiers below who were chattering endlessly and righteously, he could have just thrown the table over.

Li Chengqi reached out and tried to push the table, but she didn't.

But he was not discouraged, and even a little flattered.

He believes that if he persists in practicing swords, one day he will be able to overturn this table with his bare hands and draw a five-stone hard bow!

Li Chengqi put down the wood and pulled out the carving knife with great ambition - no.

He consciously never forced himself, and went to others if he couldn't do it. After all, he didn't become the emperor to do everything personally.

However, he was in a different mood today. He rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand under the terrified eyes of the palace servants, and grabbed the handle of the carving knife.

Li Chengqi used a lot of strength, but it might be because of the sweat in his hands that the handle of the knife was too slippery and wet, his face was flushed from holding his breath, but the carving knife remained motionless.

After a while, Li Chengqi let go of his hand.

He slumped on the chair and said weakly, "Come here."

The palace man said: "Your Majesty."

"." Li Chengqi said.

The handle of the knife was still too slippery, Li Chengqi thought about whether to let someone wipe the handle first, and then... the tall and thin eunuch stretched out his hand and pulled the carving knife out of the table with one hand.

Li Chengqi was speechless for a long time.

This little palace man is still too young, he didn't know that at this time, he was exhausted to death by pretending to be acting, so he reluctantly pulled out or simply pulled out nine out of ten. However, he only thought that Li Chengqi was in a hurry to carve the knife, so he pulled out the knife.

The palace man wiped the sawdust off the knife with a silk handkerchief, and held it in front of Li Chengqi with both hands.

Li Chengqi took it with complicated emotions.

Suddenly, I don't want to practice swords anymore.Li Chengqi couldn't help thinking.

He was much more honest with the carving knife this time, and he never used a knife to stab the table again. Unfortunately, this nanmu table has passed through four emperors, and the tabletop is not damaged at all. Now he uses a substitute knife to poke a gap.

Li Chengqi picked and picked from a pile of wood, and finally found a piece of wood that he was slightly satisfied with.

The color is as black as ink, if it is inserted in the hair, it can almost be hidden in the long black hair.

The aroma of wood lingers continuously on the tip of Li Chengqi's nose.

Li Chengqi thought for a moment, and had a plan in mind, instead of drawing a pattern on the wood first, he directly used a carving knife to outline the shape on the surface.

He did make a hairpin step before, but he drew the pattern and sent it to the craftsman in the palace to make it. It was the first time to make a wooden hairpin by himself, but he had seen how the craftsman did it before, and according to his memory, it was smooth. Under the knife.

The carving knife is sharp, and there is not much resistance when it falls on the wood.

The fragrance of smoke curls up from the furnace in Boshan, and there is heavy fog in the mountains.

The wood in hand gradually took shape.

Li Chengqi engraved two or three o'clock, casually ate dinner, drank some tea, and continued to return to the table, rather forgetting to eat and sleep.

The lamps on the table were changed several times.

Perhaps it was because she had been using the knife for too long, Li Chengqi's hand was so sore that she couldn't hold the knife steady for a while, and the tip of the knife slid across her palm.

Li Chengqi hissed in pain.

Blood dripped out of the palm immediately.

Li Chengqi was slashed a few times just now, but each time she dodged most of it with quick eyesight and quick hands. There were a few small cuts on the back of her fingers and hands, and it was the first time that blood was seen from the injury.

Holding the carving knife, Li Chengqi carved the last stroke of the hairpin tail.

The outline is very clear.

A hairpin that couldn't be more plain, with no pattern at all.

Li Chengqi put down the wood and carving knife.

The already dimmed light was replaced again.

The clothes were rubbed, and the man bowed in front of Li Chengqi as if anxiously.

It's that one, the Rong people.Li Chengqi thought to herself.

Man Konglai's identity is a mystery, and his origin is unknown. Although he described himself as innocent, but he has been an emperor for many years, it is difficult for Li Chengqi to easily believe a stranger. He stayed with Man Konglai only because of this person. s eyes.

He needs a puppet who can act like a god.

Quiet, useless, obedient.

Man Konglai raised his head, his blue eyes were filled with undisguised worry.

When Li Chengqi looked at him, the young man's throat could be clearly seen, the curve was fragile, and the wound was ferocious, as long as it was deeper, it might decapitate him.

He opened his mouth full of mouth, but couldn't make any sound. He was very anxious. He had been taught to behave since he was sober, but at this moment he didn't know whether he should obey the rules or not.

Li Chengqi followed his anxious eyes and saw his bleeding hand.

So he stretched out his hand towards Mankong.

Man Konglai was stunned for a moment, nodded, and hurriedly took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe Li Chengqi's hands.

Li Chengqi didn't even look at it, and let him rub it, casually flipping through the jewelry atlas that was used as a reference earlier.

Man Konglai wiped carefully, for fear of hurting Li Chengqi a little, and for fear of rubbing blood everywhere, his movements became more and more cautious.

Although the wound on Li Chengqi's hand was long, it was not deep, and the bleeding stopped after a while.

Man Konglai put away the handkerchief, and the handkerchief was embroidered with peach blossoms blooming as brilliantly as haze, and the blood stained the peach blossoms, making the color even more gorgeous.

This should be a girl's handkerchief.

Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Man Konglai seemed delighted.

Those blue eyes looked at him as if waiting for a compliment.

From Man Konglai's self-report, it can be seen that his status in the Kunyue tribe is extremely low. After the tribe is wiped out, most of the adult men will be killed. He can live not only because of his blue eyes, but also because of his weak beauty.

He is a captive of the Kunyue Department, a slave, an item, and a piece of property.

It is more obedient than the birds raised in the greenhouse, and more tame than the hounds brought when hunting.

Man Konglai's attitude is exactly that.

Li Chengqi finally turned her eyes to him a little bit.

The shoulders of the young man who was expecting the compliment trembled, and he lowered his head abruptly.

He didn't seem to know what was going on, all he knew was that he shouldn't offend his current master.

In the 29 parts of the Western Territory, very few people are born with a pair of blue eyes. Li Chengqi knows that there are only five of them. Four of them have passed away. There is also a girl with a very noble family. As soon as she was born, she was revered as a snow mountain saint and accepted the worship of believers. .

With such eyes, Li Chengqi didn't believe that Man Konglai's identity was pure.

But he doesn't care about innocence.

He only cares about whether this young man can be used by him.

Man Konglai knelt down on the ground, trembling.

When Qing Ai came in, she was surprised to see such a scene.

Li Chengqi leaned over, blew out the lamp, and walked inside.

Qing Ai glanced at Man Konglai, quickly followed Li Chengqi, and said after deliberation: "I'm guilty of this slave. I sent you to serve Your Majesty before I learned the rules of the Rong people. It's a fault of this slave. Please forgive me."

"He's fine." Li Chengqi said, he had sat at the table all afternoon, and his back was sore from exhaustion, "There's no need to punish him, everything can go on as usual."

"Yes."

Li Chengqi waited for the peace, but just now let Man Konglai kneel on the ground without saying a word, this in itself cannot be said to be a kind of satisfaction.

But in this whole palace, besides stupidity, the most fatal flaw is curiosity.

Qing Mi hesitated to speak.

"speak."

Qing Ai said: "The Empress Dowager seems not very happy because Your Majesty has brought back a Rong." He carefully looked at Li Chengqi's face, "Uncle Guo is too."

"Is it against the palace rules to bring a Rong man back?" Li Chengqi asked with a snort.

Qing Ai pondered and said: "There is also such a reason."

That is Mankonglai's beauty and slenderness.

Xie Mingyue went out with the little emperor and brought back a beautiful man. It was hard not to make people guess whether this man was sent by Xie Mingyue, or sent by Xie Mingyue's instruction.

It doesn't matter if the emperor has a male favorite, but right now Li Chengqi is still young after all, and the harem is empty. Having such a beautiful man by his side day and night is likely to lure the emperor to indulge in his sensuality.

The most important thing is that this person was not sent by Li Yan, but by Xie Mingyue.

So this matter has to be remembered on Xie Mingyue's head.

For the first time, he felt that Xie Mingyue was innocent.

Li Chengqi heard that Qing Ai hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, so she guessed why Jing Jiayu and Jing Eryang were angry.

At this time, he suddenly thought that such a trivial matter is worthy of anger, so if Xie Mingyue really didn't care about their identities and did something to humiliate the king, would the two of them be mad?

Although the poor emperor who was imagined to be humiliated was herself, Li Chengqi couldn't help laughing.

He said casually: "Tell Ji Shi about this, she will know what to do."

Qing Ai said: "I know."

It's a pity that it's too weak and beautiful. It's not vulgar, but worldly. This kind of beauty can be easily touched, and it's commonplace, especially for Li Chengqi, who is an emperor, so weak The beauties abound.

So he doesn't like it, and it's even harder to like it.

Li Chengqi lay down on the bed.

The sapphire case was placed beside the bed, also resting on his pillow.

Li Chengqi tapped the sapphire case with her fingers, and heard a clear and clear sound from it with satisfaction.

"Go to sleep." He smiled.

……

The next day.

Mr. Xie gave lectures as usual, and asked them to copy an extra page from the book.

Li Chengqi was about to take a pen when Xie Mingyue stopped her, "Your Majesty, you don't need to write."

Yuan Jian lowered her head to write, Xie Che couldn't help but look at Li Chengqi, her eyes seemed to ask, what did you do, Your Majesty?

Xie Mingyue is a person who doesn't care about personal relationships. It is definitely not a good thing for him to treat him specially. This is Xie Che's experience.

Li Chengqi had an injury on his hand, and he held the carving knife for too long yesterday, his fingers hurt so badly, he would be happy if he could not write.

Xie Mingyue's eyes seemed to fall on his hands.

Li Chengqi didn't know why, so she smiled brightly at Xie Mingyue.

Two hours passed quickly, Xie Mingyue opened her mouth and asked gently: "Is there anything going on, Your Majesty?"

Li Chengqi said without hesitation, "No."

Xie Mingyue nodded, "Since His Majesty is fine, you might as well go to Changning Hall with your minister later."

Xie Che, who was just about to open his mouth to invite the little emperor, swallowed everything he wanted to say.

Going to Changning Palace, what to do, when to come back Xie Mingyue didn't mention it at all, Li Chengqi, who used to see Xie Mingyue like a mouse seeing a cat, didn't even refute, nodded and said: "Okay, I'm bothering you sir."

Ever since they left the palace, Xie Mingyue and Li Chengqi seemed to have something indescribable, others couldn't understand, understand, let alone get in, like the familiarity and tacit understanding of working together for more than ten years.

Xie Che thought of that night again.

He thought he was going to forget it, but in fact it was so clear that it was still in front of his eyes.

Xie Mingyue, would she really condone a drunk person lying on her lap all night?

Li Chengqi got up first and went out, Xie Mingyue followed behind him.

Xie Che and Yuan Jian stood up and saw each other off.

Perhaps it was because Xie Che's emotions were too obvious after Li Chengqi and Xie Mingyue left, Yuan Jian couldn't help but asked, "Is there something on your mind?"

Xie Che pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No, thank you Mr. Yuan for your concern."

It was a little cloudy today, and the breeze blew past, which dispelled a lot of heat. The two walked slowly towards Changning Hall.

Xie Mingyue doesn't like riding a chariot very much, Li Chengqi also gave Xie Mingyue the favor of entering the palace to ride a chariot before.

However, apart from the royal family that Li Chengqi loves and holds real power, those who can enter the palace and ride a chariot are old men in their seventies and eighties. Xie Mingyue refused because of being too ostentatious, but Li Chengqi felt that he might dislike the bumpy chariot.

The two were silent all the way, but not embarrassed at all.

Li Chengqi's mind was full of hairpins she hadn't made yet, while Xie Mingyue walked quietly behind him, keeping a close distance.

Li Chengqi suddenly looked back, but did not meet Xie Mingyue's eyes.

Xie Mingyue has a Lantian jade hairpin inserted in her hair crown today, and there seems to be a cloud at the end. The pattern is too small for Li Chengqi to see clearly.

"Your Majesty." Xie Mingyue reminded her.

Li Chengqi said in her heart that you care more about Gu's demeanor than Gu father.

He didn't listen, turned around more vigorously, and restrained his pace at once, if Xie Mingyue hadn't stopped suddenly, he would have almost bumped into him.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Mingyue seemed to slightly frowned.

Li Chengqi clicked her tongue lightly.

He is now more and more unable to understand what Xie Mingyue is thinking. If Xie Mingyue really likes the little emperor, then it is not natural for him to be close to the person he likes. Stop talking?

If you don't like it... Li Chengqi doesn't think that Xie Mingyue can care so much for the little emperor just because of his status as a monarch and minister.

Li Chengqi showed a bit of naive doubts on his face, "Gu is very puzzled, why does Mr. keep staying so far away from Gu?"

Always in that position, never even in parallel.

"Your Majesty, this article is recorded in the Zhou Law. If Your Majesty is interested, you can find it out and present it to Your Majesty after returning to Changning Hall."

It's Zhou Lu again, what's the use of this thing other than lifting a rock to hit him in the foot?

Li Chengqi nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Sir, you really abide by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."

Xie Mingyue said calmly: "It should be like this between monarchs and ministers."

Can someone be so indifferent to the person they like?

Li Chengqi was puzzled, but he obviously didn't think too much about it.

There must be something wrong with the way Xie Mingyue likes people.Li Chengqi was sure, he turned around again.

Xie Mingyue stared intently at the young man's back, and took a soft, deep breath.

Under the long sleeves, the clenched five fingers slowly loosened, because they were clenched too tightly, the fingertips were white.

The two of them didn't say a word until they entered Changning Hall.

Li Chengqi walked into the apse of the Changning Hall as familiarly as if she was going back to her own study.

He suddenly thought of the tiger pen holder, and looked for it unconsciously, but there was only a pile of paperwork and pen and ink on the table.

The only bright color between black and white is gone.

Li Chengqi thought about it, and became even more certain that it was placed here by Lord Xie Xiaohou.

I don't know where Xie Che bought it.

Although the pen holder is not so detailed, it has a cute posture, and he also wants to put one in the study.

Li Chengqi took her usual seat and said, "Gu also came yesterday, but Mr. is not here."

"Your Majesty knows." Xie Mingyue replied: "Yesterday, I failed to face the Holy Spirit in time, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The best thing about Xie Mingyue is that he can give people face, if he wants to.

Xie Mingyue didn't sit down directly, walked inside, and took a wooden box from the shelf.

Li Chengqi nodded, and said: "I came here yesterday and saw that there seemed to be marks on the tube of Mr.'s pen. If it is old, you might as well replace it with a new one."

Xie Mingyue's hand holding the box seemed to tighten, but she let it go immediately, and replied: "Yes, I understand."

He came over.

Li Chengqi leaned over slightly, wanting to see what Xie Mingyue brought over.

Could it be the testimony of those servants?

No, there is no need to put this thing away, unless there is a huge stake involved.

Li Chengqi's heart sank slightly, she couldn't help but sit in danger, waiting for Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue put the box on the table, opened it, and... took out a small round box.

Li Chengqi was taken aback.

Xie Mingyue opened the small box, and a clear but strong medicinal fragrance overflowed at once.

This is, medicine?

Xie Mingyue took the box of medicine and walked up to Li Chengqi.

Condescending.

"gentlemen?"

Xie Mingyue said: "I see that His Majesty has wounds on his hands."

This is barely an explanation, but... Xie Xuandu, what do you mean by this?Li Chengqi said in her heart: Do you want to give medicine to Gu?

Did he just think that Xie Mingyue was reserved and indifferent?

Li Chengqi paused, and said: "You can come alone."

As soon as the words came out, both of them were silent for a while.

Li Chengqi also said this sentence that night in the Hot Spring Bieyuan, and then Xie Mingyue grabbed her ankles and forcibly dried her legs.

Reminiscent of that day, Li Chengqi deeply felt that her refusal might not be meaningful to Xie Mingyue, Xie Mingyue thought, he could do it.

Since it was useless to refuse, Li Chengqi didn't bother to repeat the words of "presumptuous you dare you to be lonely", so she simply put her hand in front of Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue was standing and Li Chengqi was sitting, so it might not be convenient to apply the medicine, so Xie Mingyue lifted up her robe and knelt down calmly.

Li Chengqi almost didn't bounce because of his action.

Xie Mingyue noticed his reaction and gave Li Chengqi a strange look.

Li Chengqi shut up resentfully.

He was kneeling and Xie Mingyue was also kneeling. The two of them kneeled facing each other, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Is there really nothing wrong with that?

Thank you Xuandu...

The cold fingers were stained with ointment, and they stuck to Li Chengqi's hot palm.

It was too cold, so cold that Li Chengqi was caught off guard, and almost shivered, as if she was afraid that Li Chengqi would take his hand away, Xie Mingyue held his wrist with the other hand, without using force, it was a vain confinement.

But Li Chengqi knew that if he wanted to pull his hand away, he would definitely be held by Xie Mingyue before his wrist was pulled away.

It must be a snake!

Xie Mingyue has been writing for many years, and occasionally held a sword. There is a thin layer of calluses on her fingertips, which is not obvious, but the fingertips are pressed against the tender palm of the young man, and the touch is very clear.

Itching, the ointment rubbed the wound, bringing a burst of cold and hot pain.

Li Chengqi is not a person who can bear pain very much. Since he died once, he has become more and more carefree. It feels like there are little ants crawling in the cracks in the bones. He couldn't hold it back and let out a muffled groan.

But he was really trying his best to endure, the voice came from his throat, muffled, a little low, and very hasty, Li Chengqi immediately held back when he realized that he was making a sound, and closed his lips tightly.

Xie Mingyue's hand that applied the medicine for him stopped, her fingertips seemed to be unconsciously brushing the scabbed wound on Li Chengqi's palm, and then calmly spread the medicine evenly for him.

Xie Mingyue's long eyelashes drooped, and she focused on the wound in Li Chengqi's palm.

"Don't get wet." After applying the medicine, Xie Mingyue let go of her hand without any hesitation.

Cold fingers slid across Li Chengqi's palm.

It was freezing cold.

Xie Mingyue picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped the remaining ointment on her hands.

Li Chengqi sat quietly for a while, and said: "Sir, has the matter of those servants been found out?"

Xie Mingyue pushed a few pieces of paper on the table to Li Chengqi with one hand.

Li Chengqi nodded and took it.

He reads things very quickly, and can memorize the content without paying attention. He glanced at Xie Mingyue from the corner of his eye and saw that he was still wiping his hands as finely as if he was wiping a family treasure. He suddenly felt a little angry and said: "- Why doesn't Mister use Yumian to give the orphan medicine?"

Wouldn't this not touch Li Chengqi's palm?

Xie Mingyue raised her head and explained sincerely: "The jade cotton here is exhausted."

Li Chengqi was choked, "Then let the people from the Imperial Hospital send some more today. Yumian is cheap, not as expensive as silk handkerchief." He said.

Xie Mingyue didn't seem to hear the thorn in his words, "Yes."

Li Chengqi continued to watch.

These are the confessions of those few people. Li Chengqi read it quickly. The content is nothing more than an official surnamed Chen on the border. When he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he had a relationship with the housekeeper of the palace through a middleman. He heard the housekeeper say that there were several beauties from the west in the palace. Wanting to do what Li Yan likes and please him, he spent a lot of money in the border market to buy it full and send it to the capital.

Unexpectedly, Man Konglai looks weak, but is extremely violent. He ran away several times, but was caught by Master Chen. He simply beat him so badly that he couldn't move.

On the road, Man Konglai still wanted to run, and he succeeded. If the eldest son of the official surnamed Chen who followed him found out in time, he might have run far away. He was angry, so he asked Man Konglai to tie him up with a rope , dragged behind the horse, wanted to teach him a lesson, never wanted to meet Li Chengqi Xie Mingyue and his party in the wild market.

There are also paintings below.

The servants didn't know too many details, and many of the words were said by the eldest son of the Chen family.

Li Chengqi confessed.

On the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with Li Yan at all, at best it is lax in family management.

He put down his confession and remained silent for a while.

Xie Mingyue took the statement and put it back in place.

"I have seen this confession before, and I don't think it is suspicious." Even if there is a lie, it is not an intentional lie, but a liar. Maybe he didn't know that he was lying. He changed the subject, "He is in the palace. It’s much better than before.”

This him, "come full?" Li Chengqi asked doubtfully.

"Chunxue is here," Xie Mingyue nodded, "Good name."

Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Mingyue.

I don't know if it's his illusion, Xie Mingyue's words are a bit weird.

It's not his name, so you don't have to boast about the empty name in front of him.

Li Chengqi thought about it, but was too lazy to say what she thought, subconsciously supported her chin with her hand, and remembered that her hand was injured, so she had to use another hand to support it.

Seeing that he was silent, Xie Mingyue was even more speechless.

The entire apse of the Changning Palace was as quiet as if it was empty.

Li Chengqi got what she wanted to know, and wanted to get up to leave, but she was still thinking about the reason for leaving.

Xie Mingyue put the ointment into the wooden box.

Li Chengqi looked over, and before knocking on the box, he suddenly saw a small open porcelain box in the corner of the box, inside which were placed several jade cotton sticks, arranged neatly and densely.

Xie Qing, do you call these?

Li Chengqi endured it, and couldn't help but say, "Sir."

Xie Mingyue looked at him with open and clear eyes.

Li Chengqi even thought for a moment that she was wrong.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Mingyue asked.

Li Chengqi was silent for a moment, and said: "Nothing, thank you sir for coming here to show Gu." He stood up and nodded to Xie Mingyue, "If there is nothing wrong, Gu will go back first."

Xie Mingyue stopped when she heard the words, and looked at Li Chengqi, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just said: "I will send you off to Your Majesty."

Just as Li Chengqi was about to stop her, Xie Mingyue had already stood up.

Li Chengqi had no choice but to shut up.

Xie Mingyue followed behind him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is my hairpin."

Li Chengqi only felt pain in his palms again, he pretended not to care, turned his head, with a little embarrassing apology on his face, "Wait a little longer, sir, I will order someone to send it to my house in a few days."

Xie Mingyue was speechless for a moment.

His voice was softer than before, "Your Majesty forgot?"

Li Chengqi didn't hear clearly, so she turned around and said, "What did you say, sir?"

Outside the Changning Palace, the palace people stood with their heads bowed and waited for Li Chengqi. He obviously had a similar complexion, but Man Konglai was extremely conspicuous in it. Although his body was much better than before, his face was still bloodless pale and scorching. Even if summer is not in the shade, there is no sweat on the face, just like a beauty carved in ice.

But his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Li Chengqi, so bright that it reminded people of the white plum tree outside Li Chengqi's study.

When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Li Chengqi also likes to order someone to fold a bottle and put it in the house.

Xie Mingyue glanced at it, then looked away.

Li Chengqi said to Xie Mingyue with a smile: "Sir, don't send it off any more. If you send it off again, you will accompany Gu back to Changle Palace." The young man smiled brightly, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard what Xie Mingyue said, "What did you say just now? Gu didn't listen clear."

Xie Mingyue said softly: "I said, I suddenly realized that there are some matters that need to be ruled by your majesty. Please don't go back to Changle Palace yet, your majesty."

It must not be what you just said.

Li Chengqi thought.

Xie Mingyue lied to him brilliantly, Li Chengqi smiled so much that she rolled her eyes, "But I'm really tired today," and he didn't cooperate either. Right now, major military and state affairs have to be reviewed and decided by Xie Mingyue, so it's definitely not a big deal for Li Chengqi to see. He didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it like tomorrow? Tomorrow I will come to see Mr. alone."

Xie Mingyue's eyelashes seemed to tremble, like a dark butterfly flapping its wings feebly.

Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment.

Xie Mingyue looked sad and weak at the same time, which made people feel an indescribable feeling in their hearts. They felt pitiful and at the same time scared, afraid that the snake would hide in the dark, ready to bite the throat of a bold person at any time.

Li Chengqi opened his mouth, he knew in his heart that the snake was baring its fangs and waiting for him to take the bait, but he couldn't say it directly when he was about to refuse, he thought for a while, and heard himself say: "What's the matter?"

It's because of the face.

Li Chengqi said to herself in her heart.

It is human nature to be shaken by beauty.He is righteous.

"It's a matter," Xie Mingyue said knowingly that Li Chengqi would definitely stay, for example, his nominally good brother, "Regent, I need to ask His Majesty what he wants before we can make a decision."

Is it related to Li Yan?

Li Chengqi's mind, which was bewitched by beauty, sobered up a lot in an instant, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

Xie Mingyue closed her eyes, trying her best to suppress the darkness in her eyes.

If it is about Li Yan, Li Chengqi can be allowed to stay.

If he can let it, he stays.
