monopolize my master

Chapter 65 Clashes Again

"And Eunuch, how is the adult they sent?"

After Ling Xiao walked away, Su Huang led people to remove the leftovers from the table, and immediately summoned the chief supervisor into the hall, his indifferent and decisive appearance was far from the gentle appearance he had when he and Ling Xiao had dinner just now.

Seeing this, the superintendent couldn't help but gasped.

"Reporting to the emperor, if there is no accident, he will enter the court in two days." The superintendent cupped his hands and said, "There are many disputes in the palace, your majesty must make a perfect plan."

"Of course I understand." Su Huang accepted the booklet from another eunuch, her brows were furrowed, "They are embarrassing me now, and I will definitely not make it easier for them in the future."

Su Huang didn't pay attention to others, and began to review the memorial.The superintendent retreated outside the door wisely, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's temper is much more unpredictable than that of the previous emperor.The supervisor had a vague premonition that this child, who seemed to be fledgling now, might be a little more terrifying than the former emperor in the future.

It's just that the former emperor's strength lies in his being cold enough to have no weaknesses, but this His Majesty may not be like that.

During the dinner just now, his gentle and bright smile seemed to exist only for that person.

I don't know how long it took, the scorching heat made the superintendent on duty outside a little drowsy. He didn't wake up suddenly until he heard footsteps outside the door, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Just a little bit more stable.

"The slave sees the regent." The supervisor smiled humbly.

"Elder-in-law is tired?" The man stretched out his hand to help him up, smiling like a spring breeze, "You might as well find a few smarter eunuchs to watch over, and go to have a rest." The regent glanced at the closed study room, a little Worried, "How long has the child been sitting in it?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has been correcting it for about five hours." The chief inspector said, "This slave deserves death, but he dozed off while on duty. It really shouldn't be."

"Nothing." The regent said lightly, "Did anyone come here during this period?"

"Master Ling Xiaoling once came to see it." The supervisor replied, "Your Highness, do you want the servant to go in and report?"

"No need."

Hearing the news of Ling Xiao's visit, the regent waved his hand and rejected the supervisor's proposal, "I'm a little worried about what will happen tomorrow, so I want to come and have a look. But since that person has been here, there is no need for me to go in." The regent smiled slightly, but there was deep emotion in his eyes, "Then I'll go back first. If your majesty asks, you can rest assured."

The superintendent repeatedly agreed.When he looked up again, the regent had disappeared.

The setting sun was gradually setting, and a large swath of dark clouds and night swept in together, as if to engulf the entire imperial city.

Three days later.

Ling Xiao, who got Su Huang's approval to leave the palace yesterday, was writing hard in the study of Ling's mansion, but his thoughts were disrupted by a hasty knock on the door.

"Ling Xiao, something happened!"

The voice of the scholar outside the door came urgently, Ling Xiao put down his pen in displeasure, and walked over to open the door.

"What made you panic like this."

Seeing the scholar sweating profusely and panting outside the door, Ling Xiao shook his head disapprovingly. He has been busy in Ling's residence for the past two days, and he can't remember how many times the scholar has knocked on his door so impatiently. , and then forcibly pulled himself out to talk about some irrelevant sesame-sized matters.Ling Xiao endured his temper and wanted to lose his temper repeatedly, but seeing the increasingly perfect garden in a blink of an eye, he still didn't scold him.

Ever since Ling Xiao met him, it seemed that he had always had this fussy and weird temper.

"Qihe..." The scholar looked stern and gasped, "I found it..."

The scroll in Ling Xiao's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"Found it? Where is the other person?"

Hearing this familiar name, Ling Xiao felt his mind go blank.The confrontation that night seemed to be still in sight, and the gentle and refined man's smile, during the time he disappeared, repeatedly woke Ling Xiao up from his dreams.

Unfathomable dark vortex.

"Take your breath first." Ling Xiao said thoughtfully, "I thought it would take a few months to find his trace, but I didn't expect that he would be caught so soon. The important thing you said was that the emperor asked me to come in." Palace?"

"No... I haven't finished yet." The scholar interrupted Ling Xiao and said eagerly, "Qi changed his identity with him, joined Donghui again, and even wrote a letter asking the emperor to confer him a third-rank official position. It's unbelievable that, The emperor actually agreed! The regent also surprisingly did not refute, but his face was very ugly. Presumably he knew Qihe's true identity."

"What? Qihe became an official in the court?" Ling Xiao frowned, "The emperor actually agreed? Why did this happen?"

"That's why I said, something big happened!" The scholar said anxiously, "Can you go into the palace and ask the emperor what's going on? I still remember that Qi and that kid were attacking the regent's soldiers and horses outside the city gate. Why did the emperor suddenly make such a decision!"

"I'm going to the palace now."

Without caring about cleaning up the mess in the study, Ling Xiao pushed aside the scholar, quickly mounted his horse, and headed straight for the imperial city.Too many thoughts entangled him like silk threads, he felt that something was going to swallow him, but he didn't know what was going to swallow him.This fear of the unknown was so strong that it almost suffocated him.

It is impossible for Su Huang to make such a decision.The regent has always attached great importance to his soldiers, and the name of loving the army is widely spread.He will not tolerate Qihe's existence.In fact, Qihe was charged with a serious crime, so he should not appear in Donghui Imperial City openly anyway.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the gate of the main hall.

The sun shone straight down from above, and fell on the resplendent doors of the main hall.Ling Xiao raised his head, the dazzling gold pierced his eyes.

Ling Xiao suddenly remembered that it was such a good weather when he first entered the palace.It's just that in front of the Taiming Hall, such good sunshine makes people uncomfortable.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered.The eunuch at the side stepped back consciously and did not stop him.

"Then, let Master Xiao be made a fourth-rank minister. Does anyone in the Qing family have any objections?"

Su Huang's voice resounded in the hall, sonorous and forceful, and could not be rejected.The hall was surprisingly silent, only the breathing of the officials could be heard.

"I don't know who is this minister newly appointed by Your Majesty?" Ling Xiao strode forward, but his eyes were fixed on the man in the red brocade robe in front of him.

The body shape and posture are the same as that person.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"I have heard for a long time that Dayin governs the country rigorously. Don't you want to allow idlers to come in and out at will in the main hall? It really opened Xiao's eyes." The man's gentle voice came, and he turned his head and looked at Ling Xiao, with a trace of a smile on his face. Unexplainable smile.

Although Ling Xiao was mentally prepared before, he was still surprised when the man turned his head.After about half a month, Qi He's expression returned to normal.There is no trace of torture in prison.As always, the gentle eyebrows and eyes always make people feel gentle and comfortable.

However, Ling Xiao only felt chills at the moment.

"This lord is my grand tutor, and his rank is higher than that of Lord Xiao. It's just that he doesn't go to the court to discuss matters. Lord Xiao, please pay attention to your words." Su Huang reminded calmly, unable to hear his likes and dislikes.

"I'm guilty." The man bowed to the emperor and said, "Then Xiao Ran has seen Master Ling."

"Don't dare." Ling Xiao tried to calm himself down, bowed slightly in return, "May I ask where Master Xiao Ran is from? Master Xiao Ran's appearance is very similar to an old friend of Ling's, so he feels that Master Xiao is very kind. Also please let me know."

Ling Xiao's eyes were as cold as cold pools, and the man in front of him was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "This official was recommended by Old General Ling. The Tai Tuo and General Ling have somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes, could it be possible that the Tai Tuo also Don't know about this?"

Father?

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment.He looked up, trying to find the shadow of his father or elder brother among the ministers, but to his disappointment, there were no figures of the two of them at all.

"Master Taifu, I still have some government affairs to discuss with all my dear friends, let's put aside the acquaintance for now." Su Huang, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth, "General Ling He recommends talents for me, and I still have to take care of them." Thank him for that."

"Sir, I'm taking the liberty."

After Ling Xiao saluted Su Huang, he quietly retreated among the officials.The courtiers around cast all kinds of glances at him, questioning, sarcasm, and sympathy.Ling Xiao acted as if he hadn't seen him.My mind was in chaos, as if it had been hit hard by something.

Didn't the father protect the regent?And why did he recommend the former queen's subordinates?

He couldn't understand this court situation more and more.

……

I don't know how long it took, but the morning ended in silence.The officials dispersed, and only Ling Xiao and Su Huang on the dragon chair were left in the hall.

"Do you know him..." Ling Xiao asked eagerly first, but was interrupted gently by Su Huang before he finished speaking.

"Lord Ling doesn't seem to be qualified to enter the court." Su Huang said indifferently, "I won't pursue today's matter for the time being, but don't make me do such embarrassing things in the future."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, "The minister surpassed."

Su Huang nodded, and after a moment of silence he opened his mouth and said, "Master Xiao was recommended by Old General Ling, so there is no problem. I know what you are worried about, but I hope you will not pursue this matter any further."

"Then..." Ling Xiao clenched his hands tightly, "Can Your Majesty allow this minister to be His Majesty's personal bodyguard... If there is an accident, it is better to keep His Majesty's dragon body safe..."

Su Huang heard the words but smiled lightly.

"There are so many masters around me. Master Ling is recovering from his injuries. Let's take care of his body first." Su Huang reminded in a cold voice, "My lord, the court has already left."

"Minister, leave."

Ling Xiao bit his lips tightly, turned and walked out of the hall.He never turned his head to look at the resplendent and magnificent Taiming Hall, as if the peaceful relationship with that person in the side hall yesterday did not exist.It was as if overnight, all the familiar things had gone away from him.

He once told himself sincerely that when the two of them were alone, there was no need to address each other as a monarch or a subject, but his abnormal attitude just now really made him a little sad.

He didn't believe that Su Huang would have such a transformation overnight, unless it was... what implication did he ignore?

Ling Xiao shivered all over.Everything gradually became clearer.He continued to think, as if he was grabbing a key vine, and followed the vine closely.The new emperor, the regent, Qihe, the father, the first queen.All in all, it seems clueless, but is it because I have overlooked some factor that can connect them all?

Suddenly Ling Xiao's right shoulder was patted lightly. He was in a daze, and was taken aback by this action.

"Master Ling, are you safe?"

The man in the red brocade robe stood behind him with a smile on his face.The gentle and warm voice was very familiar.
