Chapter 376: Love and Mercy (Hair Sugar)
"Is the emperor willing to summon me?" Xiao Tong stood at the door of the imperial study, he had been waiting for half an hour, on weekdays, Li Quan would never have asked him to wait so long.
"King of the county, you, just don't be impatient!" the eunuch shook off the dust, not knowing what to do, and said strangely.
Xiao Tong didn't get angry, but his expression became more and more calm, the scar on his eyebrows was already light, and his face was still white, but there was more fortitude in his temperament.
He knew why Li Quan was reluctant to see him, because of the matter of saving Xuefu, he helped Li Xun to uncover the bottom of many old ministers in the court, and these people were afraid that they were about to impeach him to death in the past few days.
But when the emperor wanted to ask him for questions, he lived by the lake for seven days......
I also want to know that there won't be any good looks today.
Suddenly, the door of the imperial study opened, and a eunuch came out of it.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has allowed you to enter. โ
It's still not a good tone.
The first five or six ministers came out of it, all of them were old bones that Xiao Tong had never touched, although none of them had anything to do with Xiao Tong, but they kicked their noses at him for a long time before leaving.
Xiao Tong didn't care about this, he knew that what Li Xunduan had obtained had damaged the emperor's wings, but he would definitely not be able to move a single bit, he could guarantee this!
"Xiao Tong, stand here!" As soon as he entered the door, the emperor said.
Before he could salute, he had to look at the place pointed by the emperor, where there was a pair of folds that should have appeared on the desk.
Xiao Tong: "Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, punish me! However, Li Xunduan is indeed trying to blackmail me, and the news he got is there." Those things ......."
"You don't have to explain to me! I just want to know, what are you two going to do now?
First of all, you used the destruction of the Miรจ Xuan clan as a bargaining chip, and within one day, you ruthlessly turned all the civil and military officials who could speak in the court, and you wanted to get Xingduan to the border!
Now he has been forced to frame three old ministers! To set an example, I believe that tomorrow he will ask to stay in the capital, and what will you do when the time comes?"
The emperor's rare direct angry finger did not even turn a corner, and while questioning Xiao Tong loudly, he threw the folds on the ground one by one, his face turned red!
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed Xiao Tong too abrupt and not thoughtful, what Li Xunduan did was only provoked by me, if you explain it to him, there will definitely be no other victims!"
Xiao Tong said slowly, without any expression.
The emperor looked at it and was a little angry.
This kid almost controls the net worth of more than half of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee for him, and now because of his stupid actions, he has moved the vitality of the country, which is really unforgivable!
"Tell me, how much news have you given to the Emperor?" asked the Emperor.
"Out of ten ministers, he only moved three. Xiao Tong replied, scattered on the ground, and he could clearly see all the evil words that impeached his Xiao family in the past.
The emperor: "In this way, he may still move other people, and what you give is naturally not a casual person."
Xiao Tong, do you know that you are just managing the Xuan clan for me, and the power is not in your hands!" Li Quan was already annoyed.
"Your Majesty, I can hand over everything to my successor within a month. Xiao Tong said coldly.
He didn't know if he didn't care, or if he was already out of his mind, and Li Quan's anger had no effect on him today.
The emperor turned around, and the sweat left behind when he was dealing with those people was still on his forehead, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"You'd better do this!Xiao Xiao, I ask you, is it because of a woman named Lin Xueyu that you and Xun Duan are in such a stalemate?"
"It's none of her business, Li Xun once hurt me, but this qiฤ is over. The emperor doesn't have to care about this, I will destroy all the evidence used, and the ministers don't have to worry. โ
Xiao Tong replied quickly, and inadvertently took a few steps forward.
Let the emperor see through his thoughts in an instant. Isn't that obvious?
"I'm never worried about the mess you have, it's just that Xingduan will never leave the capital, you need to know that!" the emperor said
Is this to protect him?
Xiao Tong felt strange in his heart, obviously when the **** proposed to give the king to Li Xun a few times ago, the emperor did not have any objections.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to care about this. This is what you care about. Xiao Tong said.
I want to change the topic, but I don't want to talk about it anymore.
He took out a letter, but he didn't plan to give it to Li Quan, but said directly: "Your Majesty, you should know that things in Jingzhou are not developing as you hope, right?"
The emperor stepped forward with questions in his eyes.
"What news have you got? You must have known a lot in the seven days since you disappeared, and is there anything you want to tell your uncle?" he said sarcastically.
brought the relationship closer to his uncle and nephew, but Xiao Tong didn't feel much.
Xiao Tong: "No, I already got the news seven days ago, on the Jingzhou side, Libatu occupied the city, and only said a word to King Wu of Shu!"
"What is it?" replied the emperor.
Xiao Tong: "If they want Wang Yan, they can directly end the stalemate between the two countries and return Jingzhou City to us." โ
"What are you talking about? Isn't Wang Yan already dead......?" the emperor wondered, he really didn't know about this matter.
"Then why is Yuduan still going to war?" the emperor couldn't help but ask.
The mountain is high and the road is far away, and the information he knows is extremely limited.
"This is the letter sent back by the King of Shu, I think the emperor should read it for himself. Xiao Tong said, placing a letter in his hand on the table.
These days, even if he wants to rest, but Xuan's no, he has given an order early, as long as the news from Jingzhou must pass his eyes first.
No, I knew this by accident, and I was worried that I would be complained about by the snowcoat.
After all, he proposed to recuperate for a period of time, and said that he would stop caring about these things, and that the two of them should stay together, accompany her to recuperate, and give himself a sweet moment.
Thinking that she had broken the rules, she went to Xue Yu to apologize that day, but she didn't expect that when he arrived, she was holding the letter sent by Li Xuanduan in her hand.
Fortunately, it wasn't Li Xuanduan's words, otherwise he would have been angry!
That man always loves to think about his beloved, even if his body is not here, but every time he sees his letter to Xuejiao, there is always a strange sweetness!
This is something he cannot bear.
The emperor was carefully reading Li Yuduan's reply, his expression was melancholy for a while, and he smiled for a while, which was very strange.
"Is this his reply? How, do you think it's possible? The emperor suddenly asked.
Xiao Tong: "Maybe, anyway, if King Wu is arrested so unprepared, he is fine, it's really a bit the opposite." โ
"That's right! Yuduan said that it was Libatu who captured the people first, and they attacked the city, but it was obviously their brother who sent the soldiers and horses to Libatu's tiger's mouth without telling me!
The emperor was smiling, but he looked angry.
Xiao Tong knew why, but still asked: "Then why didn't the emperor stop it? What they did must not have done their best, so I didn't ask our soldiers to send them to death?"
"What do you know, Libatu is a god of war-like figure, originally these two are incompatible, I want to fight, not fight! Don't you understand?" the emperor said, frowning.
Don't look at the fact that the emperor hasn't punished Xiao Tong yet, in fact, he may be going crazy.
The so-called companion is like a tiger, and that's it.
Xiao Tong seemed to have become accustomed to the emperor's moodiness, and continued: "I also got another copy of the letter from Libatu, please see it, the emperor." โ
As he spoke, Xiao Tong took out a piece of sheepskin-like paper from his arms, which is why he saw the letter written by Li Xuanduan, but he didn't burn it immediately!
This is the book that belongs to Libatu, and he will not be so selfish.
"Bring it!" the emperor said formally, slowly opening the parchment with the words written on it.
"Respectfully! Emperor Li Quan. Hand over Wang Yan, and it can be solved in one qiฤ.
I just need to find the enemy who killed my mother, according to your intentions, the emperor is the first to be filial piety, I can't watch the person who killed my mother live happily outside, and I have nothing to do!
Please reply to the letter and send Wang Yan to Jingzhou, and the matter will be stopped! Libatu can personally apologize and end the war!"
"This letter is written sincerely, Wang Yan, where do you think it will be?" the emperor asked, but his expression was heavy.
Shouldn't he be happy? Isn't it really easy to solve the problem if the cause is found?
Xiao Tong actually knows the reason, but he can't express that he is late, this is the emperor's most heartfelt thought, and anyone who knows it will not end well.
"That's why I came to you today, I've found Wang Yan. But he was under the protection of Mu Shan, and he couldn't shake it. Does the emperor want to go out in person?" Xiao Tong replied.
The Emperor: "You wait for the time being, and Wang Yan's whereabouts will be confirmed." I will send a decree to Yuduan, so that he cannot act rashly. โ
It's okay not to fight.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Xiao replied.
That's pretty much it.
The emperor was obviously shocked and needed to be relieved, Xiao Tong said to himself: "If the emperor has no other orders, I will retire." โ
"Wait! you still have a question that you haven't clarified!" the emperor said.
His eyes were suddenly very heavy, and he looked a little frightened.
"What?" Xiao Tong wondered.
Is it something to punish yourself?
The emperor suddenly said fiercely: "You and Xue Yu, why didn't she go back to the Lin family?
"It's none of her business, it's just my personal grudge. The emperor can rest assured that he doesn't have to stare at a weak woman. โ
Xiao Tong was a little displeased, and he also showed nothing to hide in front of the emperor.
The emperor saw it with an indifferent expression: "You know your identity, you will definitely marry an official lady in the future, and you will never be able to marry a woman who has been kicked out of the family, right?"
"I only know that my time is short, and if the emperor also wants other young ladies to be widowed, he can do so at will. Xiao Tong replied, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.
The emperor frowned, he knew that Xiao Tong's days were short, otherwise he would have punished him to death.
This child has grown up under his nose since he was a child, and many of this uncle have some appreciation.
He shouted: "Tomorrow at the palace dinner, you bring her! All the young ladies in the capital will be invited, if she really wants to marry you, you must let her show up!"
Although Xiao Tong heard it, he still walked out quickly.
The emperor wants to see the snow robe?
This is not a good sign, after all, it can be seen from the surveillance that the emperor left by her side after the snow coat fell into the water at the queen mother's banquet that day, and he cares about the snow coat for some reason.
She is so beautiful, if she is favored by the emperor, it is not a good thing.
He's displeased with this.
Xue Cao rested quietly in the hut by the lake, the smell of medicine in the house was very strong, and she didn't like it before, but she had to stay inside.
Ah Hui lived in a thatched hut outside, and when he saw her, he always smiled a little and taught her to think of the Lin family for no reason.
said that she would let go, but she still had to reply to Li Xuanduan's letter, took out the paper and pen that had been prepared for a long time, and faced the blank paper, she didn't know how to put it down.
The inkstone was sharpened over and over again, the ink dried and grinded, and the faint fragrance was preserved, and she gradually began to feel sad.
When will my left hand be healed if I have no sensation?
Or will it never get better?
She is not a left-hander, but the wind is strong, and she can't close the window with one hand, so she can only let the paper fly, and the corner that is pressed does not leave the desktop, and there is no way to stabilize it.
She thought she was clumsy and refused to put pen to paper.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and her long hair was suddenly blown away, and the hastily pulled up headband was still useless.
She was still wearing that light blue gauze skirt, although Xiao Tong bought herself a light pink dress, but she didn't like pink and rarely wore it, almost only when he wore cyan, she wore a pink shirt, she just felt.
This looks more pleasing to the eye, and some of the temperature is not as cold as blue.
Inky hair swept across her smooth jade cheeks, and she reached out to pull it, but only the right hand moved, and the left hand was still soft, hanging down to the side of her side.
There was a sudden hint of sadness in the light blue eyes, which was pitiful.
Xiao Tong walked over from outside and hugged her tightly. As if to merge the two into one, she just hoped that he would not see her sorrow, so that he would not be sad.
Xiao Tong said stupidly: "Cao'er, can I kill all the people in the Lin Mansion? If they harm you, I won't let them live!"
The tone is full of distress.
Somehow, Xue Cao replied: "Then you have to beat yourself first, why do you want Sequoia to fall in love with you?
She was talking casually, and there was indeed some complaint in her tone, but it was like a naughty joke.
But he suddenly became more serious, took her hand and hit his face, and the tip of her heart began to hurt with such force.
