monopolize my master

Chapter 34

"The order from my palace." Su Huang stood up and looked at Master Huang coldly, "This palace's order to Lord Ling Yun, how can this palace's majestic Prince Dayin not even be able to use Jin Ping's military power?"

"His Royal Highness, calm down." Chief Huang hurriedly bowed to Su Huang, and said, "Your Highness, Ling Yun has already admitted his actions, so why should His Highness take the blame on himself?"

"That's right." Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I am the one who dispatched troops privately. Without the permission of... the prefect of Jinping, I am willing to accept the crime."

Ling Xiao was trembling with anger.Needless to say, Ling Yun must have been coerced.

"Who has any objections?"

Master Huang looked at the crowd coldly, showing a sneer.

"Then His Royal Highness, let's go back to the palace with the servant." Master Huang said to Su Huang with a smile.

"Then these people..." Su Huang looked at the prefect of Jinping and asked coldly, "What is the prefect going to do?"

"This..." Zhifu Jinping scratched his head, and glanced at Director Huang in a panic.

"Everything is at the disposal of the Holy One."

"Okay." Su Huang clenched her fists, but couldn't say a word to refute him.

"Go back." Ling Xiao sighed, and patted Su Huang's shoulder reassuringly.

"Master Huang, this subordinate has something to report." The man in Tsing Yi suddenly turned his gaze to Ling Xiao, "This subordinate has been with Mr. Ling Xiao for several days, and the chat is very speculative. Mr. Ling Xiao has a great talent and great strategy. Being a commoner in Jinping City really buried him. This subordinate wants to arrange Mr. Ling Xiao to seek employment in Xuanji Pavilion, I wonder if father-in-law will allow it?"

"Young Master Liu can decide on such a small matter. Our family is an outsider, and we are only responsible for taking away His Highness the Crown Prince and General Ling Yun. As for Lord Ling Xiao," Master Huang paused and said with a smile.

"He is not the person I want to bring back, Master Liu should know how to do it."

"Eunuch Huang, this Palace has already proposed to Emperor Father to restore Sir Ling Xiao's official position." Su Huang glared at Director Huang, "Master Ling is at least a third-rank official, why I have only been out of the palace for half a month, and Emperor Father's imperial edict I didn't even say how to deal with Lord Ling, so is Eunuch Huang going to make the decision for the father?"

"I don't dare." Eunuch Huang bowed and saluted, "However, Your Majesty, Master Ling Xiao is still a commoner before the Holy Majesty's decree has been issued. Besides, Lord Ling swore an oath in front of everyone in Donghui that he would never enter the East in this life." Half a step in Huicheng——Why should Your Highness..."

"It's up to me whether he can enter Donghui City or not." Su Huang interrupted Eunuch Huang sharply, "I took him here this time to clear Lord Ling's name. The emperor didn't mention it in the edict. Why should Eunuch waste so much time talking about this matter!"

Looking at the furious Su Huang, Director Huang slightly narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"The servant knows. Now arrange a car for His Highness, and prepare to go back to the palace. As for Lingyun---"

"Please untie Master Lingyun. Jinping City has not been safe all the time, and the father-in-law is not at ease leading the army alone. You might as well ask Master Lingyun to lead the troops to escort the palace back to the palace temporarily. After returning to Donghui, let the emperor deal with it separately." , what do you think of the father-in-law?" Su Huang said coldly.

"It's up to Your Highness."

Master Huang nodded with a smile, and the soldiers at the side rushed to untie Ling Yun.Ling Yun fell to the ground exhausted, pale and weak.

"Brother!"

Ling Xiao hurried to help Ling Yun up.Ling Yun lowered her head, her hair fell messily on her forehead, she looked in a state of embarrassment that Ling Xiao had never seen before.Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

"It's okay. Let's go." With Ling Xiao's support, Ling Yun barely stood up and jumped onto the horse.At this time, the prefect of Jinping had already arranged for the car to be driven. In addition, more than a hundred attendants had assembled.Su Huang, Ling Xiao, and the scholar just sat down in the carriage when the attendants waved their long whips, and the carriage galloped towards Donghui City.

"Ling Xiao---you will kill everyone. Hahahahaha, do you believe it? You will return to this place again..."

The mad laughter of the man in Tsing Yi echoed in the forest.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes in pain.Ling Yun's desperate, haggard and pale face and the golden imperial decree in Chief Huang's hand deeply hurt his heart.

"You're going to kill everyone—"

Ling Xiao's hands were twisted together at some point, and the man's last words echoed in his mind over and over again.

This will be his lifelong nightmare.

"Don't take it to heart."

Two overlapping voices came at the same time, and then, two hands of different temperatures covered Ling Xiao's hand at the same time.Ling Xiao hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw the scholar and Su Huang looking at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Ling Xiao moved his lips, but only said this sentence.

"No matter how you look at it, doesn't it look okay?" The scholar opened the mouth first, and asked with concern, "What are you going to do after you return to Donghui? I just saw your brother look quite depressed... Is it... that dead eunuch threatened you?" He what?"

"Brother is not someone who compromises easily. It seems that Eunuch Huang has strangled his lifeline." Ling Xiao frowned, and turned his gaze to Su Huang, "By the way, what will the emperor do against Dawu Kingdom recently?"

"Just about to talk about this matter." Su Huang said with some worry, "Father and Emperor sent Lai Jing and Emperor Uncle to fight Dayin and Dawu. It happened three or four days ago, and Emperor Uncle has probably arrived at the border by now."

"King Jinghe?" Ling Xiao whispered the name several times, "But that prince who is often at home?"

"That's right. Jing and Uncle Huang often came to visit me before entering the palace when I was four or five years old, and they haven't come here very often these years." Su Huang was a little confused, "Is this war really so urgent? If you don't send many generals, why do you have to send the emperor's uncle?"

"I probably heard my father mention this King Jinghe." Ling Xiao was thoughtful, "But I have never seen him... Father respects him very much..."

"The emperor's uncle is clean and honest, unrestrained and free-spirited, indeed he has a high reputation." Su Huang responded, "But why are we talking about the emperor's uncle? Although he has been at home for many years, Jing and the emperor's uncle used to be a famous general in Dayin , it shouldn’t be a problem to defend against the enemy.”

"You don't know, my father's whereabouts have become more and more strange these years. A few days ago, I saw----"

Ling Xiao was startled suddenly.

"I probably understand. Is that the case?" Ling Xiao murmured to himself, "What a trick. Three birds with one stone. Should I say, is he worthy of being the biggest conspirator in the world?"

"Ling Xiao..." Su Huang looked a little uneasy, "I am very concerned about one thing..."

"What did that person mean...?"

Su Huang gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind to ask.

"..."

Ling Xiao moved his lips, but he still didn't say anything after all.Looking at Su Huang's urgent and even anxious eyes, Ling Xiao sighed faintly.

How he wished all this was just his imagination.

Unfortunately, not.

Although it is not yet known what the emperor's motive for assassinating Su Huang was, after this incident, it should be completely certain that all the actions of the Xuanji Pavilion were the emperor's will.

"Ling Xiao, you might as well tell him." The scholar finally couldn't bear it and broke the silence in the car, "He has the right to know the truth."

"After all, it's just my inference." After a long time, Ling Xiao finally said slowly, "According to the information I and the scholar have, the Xuanji Pavilion...that is, the institution that captured me a few days ago is...the Emperor's person .”

Su Huang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Father's people..." Su Huang murmured, "Why are father's people? And I was... in the palace, and I had no idea that such an institution existed."

"After all, this is not something glorious." Ling Xiao paused, and continued, "Since ancient times, rulers have used everything to consolidate imperial power. Naturally, the less people know about the existence of this kind of institution, the better .”

"Why did the father arrest you? And..." Su Huang clenched her lower lip, "And... those who came to assassinate me... are also the people under the father?"

"I know you will ask this question, but... that person is your father after all, and I don't have any accurate evidence to prove whether those people are from Xuanji Pavilion. It's just my...a guess." Ling Xiao somewhat Turning away in pain, "I hope... I made a mistake."

"There are about two groups of people who assassinated me." Su Huang thought for a while, and suddenly said righteously, "The first time was bandits. They used the banner of rebellion. If according to what you said, Xuanji Pavilion belonged to the emperor So, if they want to kill me, they can just take my life, why should they throw themselves into the trap under such a banner?"

"The second time, someone did come to attack me after I was injured. But after thinking about it, you also live in the same room as me. There is no evidence to prove that... the Xuanji Pavilion came after me." Su Huang said, " As for the man in Tsing Yi, he looks insane, he speaks rudely to the emperor, it should... just drive a wedge between our father and son..."

Ling Xiao sighed softly when he heard the words.

"You can convince yourself, that's fine." Ling Xiao said slowly, "It's me...it's too arbitrary."

"I will explain your matter to my father when I go back." Su Huang suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, "If he committed crimes on you because of your private escape, I will explain it to you. The father thought wholeheartedly. Find me a good tutor, and hope that I will succeed in my studies... I will tell him that I only recognize you as one person, and I will follow you to learn the skills, and then show him some results... It must be like this of……"

Su Huang suddenly started chattering non-stop, paralyzing herself as if in self-hypnosis.However, Ling Xiao could clearly feel that the hand holding him was trembling slightly.

"Yeah. It's okay. I was too worried." Ling Xiao pulled out his hand and placed it lightly on Su Huang's shoulder, "It will take several hours before we return to Donghui City. Let's sleep for a while."

"Okay." Su Huang forced a smile.Ling Xiao rested Su Huang's head on his lap, and gently covered him with the cloak.

"Obviously the truth is not like that." After a long time, seeing that Su Huang had fallen asleep, the scholar sighed softly.

"I know. He should also know that what he said just now was just self-deception." Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, "If it was me, I wouldn't be able to accept it calmly. Xiao Huang once told me that Mr. Huang was a child when he was a child. Taking care of him by his side all the time is equivalent to half of his relatives. But you have seen the performance of Mr. Huang today, he is loyal to the emperor, and he is always just perfunctory to Xiao Huang."

"What are you going to do when you go back? Are you still planning to return to the palace to be the Taifu?" The scholar asked with some concern, "If the emperor's goal is you, isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, "My family members are all in Donghui City. If his target is me, I will tell him to rest assured in the palace. It will also give my family time to escape from Donghui City. Besides, Ling Yun is still there. As an official in the court, it would be too hard for him to face it alone."

"You can reject the prince and leave Donghui directly?" The scholar was a little puzzled, "The prince attaches so much importance to you, he will definitely find a way to arrange for you to leave."

"I also have my own beliefs that I want to pursue." Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head, "It's fine if you don't know some things, just let it go, it's like a dream. But now, I can't help it Just walked away."
