Chapter Seventy-One: The Minister
Qin Qin stood at the door of the study with the boiled ginger soup, and she heard the silence inside, and she could hear even a needle falling. Although she was born as a queen, talking about state affairs is also the most taboo for Lin Xiaoxian to participate in. Qin Qin touched the soup bowl in his hand, "It's okay, it's still hot..' It just snowed yesterday, and today's temperature has dropped a lot suddenly, and the wind outside is also blowing people's exposed skin hurting. The maids, fearing that the queen would freeze, pulled her cloak up for her. Now Qin Qin only hopes that someone inside can break this unusually silent atmosphere, so let her serve it in and give it to them to drink.
"Father!" At this time, Lin Ye stood up from several people, bowed to Lin Xiaoxian, and said: "Everyone has been busy in the rain all night, and I am afraid that no matter how strong the body is, it will not be able to bear it, so it is better to let everyone drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold." ”
As soon as Qin Qin, who was standing outside the door, heard this, she knew that her second son must have sensed that he was standing here, so he spoke and wanted her to come in first. The second child of her family is really careful.
Lin Xiaoxian in the room nodded, and was about to summon the maid to prepare ginger soup. Seeing this, Qin Qin immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and then said, "Your Majesty, the concubine cooked ginger soup for everyone to go to the cold." ”
Seeing that it was Qin Qin who entered the door, Lin Xiaoxian's gloomy face finally had a little warmth, he stepped down from his seat, stepped forward and took the soup bowl in Qin Qin's hand, and said: "The queen has worked hard, didn't she let you go back to rest first, let the people do these things." ”
"The concubine is fine, your majesty, drink it quickly, it's about to get cold. Qin Qin urged Lin Xiaoxian to quickly drink the soup in his hand, Lin Xiaoxian obediently took it up and drank it all, and after drinking, he showed Qin Qin the clean bottom of the bowl, Qin Qin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief with satisfaction.
"Come, drink a little and warm up. ”
After several people in the room were forced to see the love of the king and the queen, they were remembered by Lin Xiaoxian. So he beckoned them to drink a little ginger soup too.
Several people picked up the soup bowls in the hands of the maids and drank them all. One of Mo Caicai's least favorite things in her life is ginger, and at this moment she pinched her nose and sipped the soup in the bowl with difficulty. After Lin Ye finished drinking it, he found that she was frowning, so he told the maid to go and get some brown sugar. When Mo Caicai finally drank the soup in the bowl to the bottom of the bowl, she saw that Lin Ye had already sent brown sugar to her mouth, "Eat some of this, the taste will be better." ”
Facing the brown sugar in front of her, Caicai seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and immediately took it and stuffed it into her mouth. The tight little face also stretched out a lot.
"Thank you. When she finished eating, she still didn't forget to say thank you to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye flicked her head with his fingers, "You don't need to thank me." ”
Caicai nodded a little shyly.
Seeing that several people drank the ginger soup one after another, Qin Qin immediately stopped staying, she blessed Lin Xiaoxian and exited the study.
No wonder the king loved the queen so much, and who would not want to put such a measured and considerate wife on the tip of his heart. Mo Caicai noticed that Lin Xiaoxian's attitude towards Qin Qin was not very emotional.
"Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?" Lin Xiaoxian named Qin Yu, when he saw Qin Yu standing there drinking ginger soup, his eyes kept looking at him, after so many years of getting along, he still clearly knew that this Cheng Ying had something inconvenient to say, but he wanted to say it.
Qin Yu pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, then took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just talked about what happened last night and thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Speaking of this, Qin Yu stopped, he glanced at Lin Xiaoxian, who had already sat back in his seat, and didn't know how to say it.
"Tell me quickly, what's wrong!" Lin Xiaoxian frowned, displeased with Qin Yu's desire to speak.
Several people in the room also looked at him in unison, waiting for his discussion.
Yan Hong was even more impatient and secretly tugged at the corner of Qin Yu's clothes.
Qin Yu wiped his forehead, sweating from drinking the hot ginger soup just now. Then he said: "Back to the king, after the ** explosion, according to Weichen's observation, there is a person who has never even seen a figure, and that person is the only person in our human race who will leave the dragon clan with a water diversion spell." If he had been there, how could we have killed and wounded so many people? This arrangement was handed over to the two highnesses to oversee the work, and we naturally believe it. But in the end, when we were still sitting in the main hall eating and drinking, it was the man who went to the prayer venue first... Your Majesty, please forgive Wechen's suspicions, Wechen is purely on the facts, without any personal emotions. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked, and they carefully recalled what happened at that time, as if they had indeed never seen the man.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxian clenched his hands tightly, 'Is it him?'
Seeing that several people were silent, Qin Yu said again: "If it is just because he is missing, even if Wechen suspects him, then Wechen himself does not believe this statement, but this is a completely avoidable disaster, as long as he can use the water diversion spell that is trivial to him, why should everyone suffer this crime!? Wechen immediately sent someone to investigate his mansion at that time, and hoped that the king would spare Weichen's bold and reckless act. ”
Qin Yu deserves to be the first advisor of the human race, and when people were still in a mess, he had thought of these things one step faster.
Lin Xiaoxian sighed, even if he didn't want to believe it, but as an emperor, he still said to Qin Yu: "How is the investigation?"
Seeing that the king seemed to agree with his approach, Qin Yu let go of the hanging heart in his heart, and finally straightened up the back that he had been carrying just now, and replied: "Back to the king, Weichen's subordinates found out that there was an account book for buying ** in that person's mansion, and because it snowed yesterday, the minions in his house were afraid that they had not had time to deal with the remaining wooden barrels that carried **, so they were found by Weichen's subordinates together, and they were hidden in the underground palace behind a rockery in the mansion. ”
"Bold!What does he want to do!?"
Lin Xiaoxian was furious and smashed the desk in front of him with a fierce palm, only to see the table legs splash in front of Mo Caicai's eyes, almost poking her, but fortunately Lin Ye pulled her behind him, so she was spared this little accident.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxian was angry, several people knelt down one after another, and Mo Caicai had no choice but to kneel down with him.
"Abominable, hateful, hateful!" Lin Xiaoxian, who said a few hateful words one after another, paced back and forth in place, and shouted to several people while pacing: "The dignified high priest, the high priest, can you do such a thing? ah? This kind of thing? On such an important day, he actually wanted to blow up everyone present? ah? What is the difference between this and the devil? Is this still a human act? ah!? What is he doing this for?2 For what?"
In the face of his series of questions, several people in the room did not know how to answer. Who would have thought that man would be the High Priest... A person who plays an important role in the human race, who is above ten thousand people under one person, and who exists like a god? I am afraid that this really has to ask him himself, is it true that everyone respects him on a daily basis to respect the wrong person?
Mo Caicai didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of the human race, but when she witnessed the tragic situation last night, she just wanted to arrest the high priest Xinxiu and beat him well, and then ask him why he was like this.
"What about the others, where is he now?" Lin Xiaoxian forced himself to calm down and asked Qin Yu.
"Wechen really doesn't know, after yesterday, Wechen has never seen the high priest again. Qin Yu sent someone to find Xin Xiu as soon as possible, but as he expected, the high priest Xin Xiu was no longer in the palace, and no one knew where he was now.
"What about Antarium? she should be with her father, right?" Lin Zhi thought of someone, so he asked anxiously.
Qin Yu shook his head, "The Antares girl is not here, Wei Chen's men have blocked the city gate, if they didn't have time to get out of the city last night, then they should still be in the royal city." ”
"Okay, turn over the royal city for this king, and find out the two of them!" Lin Xiaoxian ordered Yan Hong: "Yan Hong, you quickly send troops to set up checkpoints dozens of miles on the left and right of the royal city, and no suspicious people are allowed to enter or leave, and then send heavy troops to guard all corners of the palace, especially the high priest's mansion, and surround this king! This king will not allow a fly to fly out! If you see Xin Xiu, bring it to this king immediately! He is not allowed to die, this king wants to live, but this king must ask him what he wants!"
"Yes! Yan Hong took the order!" After Yan Hong received the order, he quickly retreated.
Lin Xiaoxian looked at the other people, and then ordered: "Lin Zhi Lin Ye, the two of you will go with Qin Xiang to investigate the matter carefully, remember, your time limit is only three days, if you have not given a reply to this king within three days, then don't come to see this king!"
"Yes!"
The three of them replied in unison.
Mo Caicai looked at them generally, and stood awkwardly to the side, not knowing what to do.
"Miss Mo, this is my Terran's own business, but you also saw it last night, and please Miss Mo You can help Lin Ye and them from the side, so that the matter can be investigated as soon as possible. ”
Caicai never thought that Lin Xiaoxian would mention her at all, anyway, she originally wanted to help, so...
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to help Ono and them, and please take care of your health, don't get angry. ”
Although this is a little sycophant, but listening to Lin Xiaoxian's ears, it is really warm, he nodded, sat down on the chair behind him, and waved his hand to them, "Let's all go down, you should be busy with your go." ”
Several people bowed, and they all withdrew.
Before going out, Mo Caicai quietly glanced at Lin Xiaoxian, who was holding his hand against his forehead and rubbing his eyebrows, and thought in his heart, 'If something like this happens, as the king of a country, how much pressure and sadness does he have to bear......
