Xue Yinong didn't know why she was doing this, an emperor went back to her residence, and she had to sneak around like a thief, she only felt that her feelings were boundless, and she couldn't make a appearance.

When she signaled to come 'low-key', the number of people around her decreased by more than half. Seeing her approaching, he saw that a eunuch was about to run in to make a report, Xue Yinong looked at this qi with cold eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a figure had already rushed over with lightning speed, stepped on the ground a few times, and caught the eunuch early.

"Your Majesty." After the secret guard captured the person, he pushed the eunuch and handed it to the others, and hid his figure again. The eunuch was captured, and his mouth was gagged with something. Xue Yinong asked them to wait outside, and he walked in, and someone wanted to sneak away to report it, and he was caught again, and several people were captured, Xue Yinong had already arrived at the door, and Ren's father-in-law shouted responsibly at this time.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The two people in the room who spoke were shocked. Xue Qingqiu was a little frightened, and quickly glanced at the door, then slowly got up from the chair, Xue Yinong came back, the worst of all his plans, but he was still prepared.

He stood up and saluted: "The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Xue Yinong was not in a hurry to respond, so he asked him to bow down, but his eyes swept to Xu Shutong, Xu Shutong was a little apprehensive, because she found that Xue Yinong's eyes looked at her were a little strange from usual, and she was uneasy, afraid that Xue Yinong would suspect something, so she also lowered her head and blessed her.

Xue Yinong sat down, asked Father-in-law Ren to make tea, warmed his hands with the teacup, and calmed down a little complicated mood by the way, and said after a long time: "Excuse me." ”

Xue Qingqiu thanked him, although he was very dissatisfied with Xue Yinong's deliberate arrangement, but his face still had a respectful look, and he really deserved his title.

Xue Yinong opened his mouth and said, "King Gong didn't have breakfast with the other princes, but he hurriedly ran to my bedroom to do something?" Without waiting for Xue Qingqiu to explain, she looked at the door and said: "These servants on duty are really, respecting the king's busy affairs, some things are afraid that the nobles will forget things, and they don't know how to mention it, it seems that they forgot to trespass into my bedroom, which is also a capital crime, implicating you and my cousins, and they should be beaten!" Without saying more, she had already shouted to Ren Gongdao: "Such a dereliction of duty will be punished with a hundred rods." ”

The room was quiet, Ren's father-in-law had already guessed the holy will, glanced at Xue Qingqiu, and then went out, and soon there was a crackling sound outside, and those eunuchs were crying wolves and begging for mercy. faintly mixed with those who begged to respect the king for help.

Xue Yinong floated the tea leaves in the floating bowl with the lid, and said slowly: "It's all my fault, and I usually neglect to discipline and let these people make mistakes." ”

Xue Qingqiu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The minister's behavior is reckless, and I hope the emperor will forgive him." It's just that I heard that the emperor is taking care of him in the queen's palace, so he doesn't dare to disturb it, and there is really something important to do. ”

"Oh?" There are still quibbles, she might as well listen to them and see how he makes up nonsense. "What's important, there's no time to even let people sue me, let's hear it."

"The minister heard that Mrs. Xu had an accident on the road since the last meeting with the minister, and she has been very self-blaming, and the minister did not let people protect her...... Fortunately, Mrs. Xu is safe, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, so she has been investigating this matter, and now she has some eyebrows, so she specially came to sue the emperor. ”

"What did you find?"

"Someone bought off the dead man and wanted to kill his wife, so as to blame the ministers, make the emperor suspicious of the ministers, and destroy the relationship between our monarchs and ministers, but unfortunately the people behind the scenes can't find ......"

I can't find it, of course I can't find it, because it's you who □□ it! Xue Yinong said in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to poke his loopholes, because after talking for a long time, it was the same as not saying it, but Xue Qingqiu's purpose in saying this was to be able to guess one or two, whether it was to clear it up, or to transfer, or to test his feelings for Xu Shutong.

And Xu Shutong, the person she doesn't want to doubt the most in her heart, really broke off with Xue Qingqiu, or did she make a show for her? She's also a little confused now.

Gong Yu is really a big whirlpool, she treats each other with true feelings, and people may not accept it! In the end, it's still her being too emotional, it's her shortcoming, or sometime in the future, it's going to be her fatal wound.

Xue Yinong laughed softly, when she heard that someone could enter her dormitory at will, the cold feeling that spread all over her body made Huo's heart suddenly. Today you are free to come and go, and tomorrow you can take her head lightly, it's too dangerous.

She noticed the change for the first time.

Her modern consciousness was completely denied.

Now that we have come to ancient times, some modern rules do not apply. In this era when human life is not valuable, if she still believes in others again and again and gives in, then how will others treat her, and she will accept it when she meets it, or will she have to make an inch? Take Xue Qingqiu as an example, will they have a day of reconciliation?

Even if she didn't ask herself these questions, the answers were already there.

The eunuch who was beaten outside did not cover his mouth. The ghost who was still screaming before was crying wolf, but now the movement is getting smaller and smaller, it seems that he is hoarse, and his anger is like a gossamer.

Xue Qingqiu knew that Xue Yinong intended to 'kill chickens and make an example of monkeys' and didn't say anything, but a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if he hadn't heard of what was happening outside, so he didn't care about the purpose of Xue Yinong's move. Because he expected that Xue Yinong would not dare to do anything to him.

Father-in-law Ren came in, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, the hundred boards have been beaten." ”

"It's over so soon? Go, respectfully the king, and go with me to see. With that, she got up and walked in front, and Xue Qingqiu scolded her for being naïve in her heart. Standing at the gate of the palace, those eunuchs who were beaten to death, the death was terrifying, there was almost no intact piece of flesh on their bodies, and they were beaten to death.

However, Xue Qingqiu didn't care and was indifferent.

On the contrary, Xue Yinong was a little moved, she had never killed so many people. Seeing this scene in front of her, she was about to vomit at first, but she still tried her best to hold back, and she must not show a little timidity. She said with a little ridicule in a voice that even she felt cold: "Flouting the palace rules and asking for your own death." ”

Yu Guang didn't sweep towards Xue Qingqiu, as if she didn't care about his reaction at all.

Xue Qingqiu knew that this was just a trick commonly used by emperors. It's just that he wants to know more about how Xue Yinong plans to punish himself, a person who deliberately flouts the palace rules.

Xue Yinong didn't stand for long before returning to the house, she didn't want to drink the cold wind outside.

Gonggong Ren glared, waiting for her to give orders on how to deal with these corpses, but Xue Yinong went back to the house without saying anything, leaving him outside to drink the northwest wind, he has always been familiar with these things, but this time he didn't know how to do it.

As soon as Xue Qingqiu entered the door, his punishment came as scheduled.

"Although there is a reason for respecting the king, the rules of the palace must not be observed. If I don't pay attention to either of them, I'm afraid that no one will listen to me in the future. I will punish you for three months, and then personally copy the palace rules a hundred times, so that you can hand them over to me before leaving the capital, will you accept it? ”

Xue Qingqiu said: "Thank you Emperor Longen." "This is a heavy hand, Xue Yinong still doesn't dare to do anything to him, Xue Qingqiu smiled in his heart. Xue Yinong, you asked me today if I was convinced, I sued you, I will never be convinced, a person whose hair has not yet grown up dares to be above everyone, do you ask everyone to accept or not? At the end of the day, you still can't do anything with me! Xue Yinong, you are soft on me today, tomorrow, I will not be polite, blame you for being too emotional. ”

"Now that we're done, let's go to everyone's place for breakfast, Father-in-law."

Father-in-law Ren felt that he was about to be blown stiff by the wind, and the emperor finally had an assignment, so he hurriedly came into the house and said, "Yes, the emperor." ”

"Please lead King Gong to go, don't let him go the wrong way again and violate the palace rules, others are not as good at talking as me."

Ren Gonggong: "Yes! Your Majesty, those ...... outside"

Xue Yinong smiled and said: "If you are unfaithful, staying in this world is an eyesore, feed the dog!" ”

Ren's father-in-law raised his eyebrows a few times, and he always felt that today's emperor was particularly cruel, was it for the king to respect, or was it ...... He didn't have time to think about it, and said to Xue Qingqiu, "Respectfully the king, please." ”

"Father-in-law, please."

When the two of them went out, they could see a large amount of blood flowing at a glance, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the cold wind, and was blown into their noses.

Xue Qingqiu stepped over the corpses without even moving his eyelids. The little emperor is too pediatric, he doesn't care about the life and death of these people, if he wants to do big things, who cares about how many people die.

Ren's father-in-law's hands were sweaty, and he only felt that these two people were crazy. Before he left, he instructed the little eunuch to clean up the place, feed the body to the dogs, and led Xue Qingqiu all the way away.

In the room, Xu Shutong looked at the qiē in front of him like a sculpture. Xue Yinong sat down on the seat again, didn't speak to her, didn't ask her what happened, just had a thoughtful face, as if he was so indifferent to her existence, as if there was no one around.

Xu Shutong felt uneasy, walked over, and just spoke: "Your Majesty—"

Xue Yinong raised her eyes, her brows furrowed, and interrupted her: "Shutong, I want to calm down alone." ”

I didn't plan to listen to her explanation, Xu Shutong replied: "Yes, I stepped down." When I left the main house, I saw the red bloodstains, and my whole arm was pimpled. She knew that Xue Yinong was most afraid of these things, and the last time she killed a Gao Rui, it made her sad for a long time, but this time, she actually watched these things by herself, how unbearable!

She wanted to comfort her side for a few words, and at the same time explain the reason why she let Xue Qingqiu enter the door, but Xue Yinong obviously didn't mean to hear anything. Does the emperor suspect her?

As soon as Xu Shutong went out, he greeted him with a pity, and there was a lot to say, but seeing Xu Shutong shaking his head, the two went to the small kitchen. Cun Xi immediately looked frightened, patted his chest and said: "Madam, I scared the slave to death, you don't know how miserable those people died, they were beaten to death." "It's not uncommon for her to die, but it's tragic like this, and she also picked a day like the first day of the Lunar New Year, does the emperor plan to be a tyrant?

"You don't have to sympathize with them, they deserve it. was seen by the emperor to report the news in order to respect the king, and to take the emperor's good character not for grace, so there will be such an end. It's a pity, we'd better be careful in what we do, the emperor seems to be suspicious of me. ”

She felt a chill in her heart, it was she who forced Xue Yinong to be like this. It's just why can't she trust herself a little more and listen to herself explain a few words. She used to dislike Xue Yinong for not being ruthless enough to control these people, but now she feels that she has slapped herself in the mouth, not because she is not ruthless enough, but because she has not encountered the opportunity to be ruthless.

In her heart, she is afraid that she is the number one suspect who colludes with King Gongjing.

No matter how deep the enthusiasm is, this suspicion cannot be suppressed. Xu Shutong has tasted the taste of being betrayed by the person he likes, is he already betrayed in Xue Yinong's heart?

Cun Xi said: "What should I do then?" Madam, you have to find a way to save the emperor's heart. ”

"If her heart is gone, what can she do to redeem it? It's me who is not good, I didn't sue her earlier, even if she hates me, blames me, and doesn't believe me, it's all my own fault, and I don't blame her. ”

It was she who deceived Xue Yinong's feelings, and when she thought that she might lose her, she actually felt a trace of pain in her heart. It is like a piece of tea floating in hot water, spreading a trace of it, spreading, elongating, faint, and then becoming intense.

In the main room, Xue Yinong supported his head with one hand. Thinking seriously about a series of things, thinking about what is my fault when such a thing happened today. The mistake is that he has always been soft-hearted and has less restraint on the people below, so that they can take advantage of it.

Not only the eunuchs who were bought, but also the king. She already knew about the fact that King Gong didn't take her seriously, but she just knew that she hadn't fully integrated into her role yet, so she would be so passive.

Maybe it's also the fault of being too easy to trust others. She was referring to Xu Shutong. That woman used to be a person who respected the king, and no matter what method the king used to control her, she now suspected that the rescue last time was also a game that made her fall into the trap.

If there is a discrepancy, I am afraid that it is related to the relationship between Xu Shutong and Xue Qingqiu.

She's all being toyed with! Xue Yinong has as much love for Xu Shutong as she is disappointed, she has been suspicious in her heart, and she doesn't know whether to trust people or not.

Just as she was pondering her personal joys and sorrows, a man came over.

Xue Dingshan was covered with cold, and as soon as he entered here, the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs outside the door knelt on the ground, "The Emperor." ”

"Get up, where is the emperor?"

"Inside the house."

There was a lot of movement outside, and Xue Dingshan didn't wait for anyone to report it, and he was already shouting in a high voice: "Yinong! Xue Yinong was startled, raised his head, and saw Xue Dingshan's head turning, looking for her. She lifted the curtain and came out, gently setting aside all the love she had just had.

"Erchen has seen his father." She clenched her fists and walked out as she spoke.

"Hmmm! Sit down, I have something to say to you. ”

Xue Yi said in his heart: "Could it be that last night's words made him figure it out?" "But looking at Xue Dingshan's face, it doesn't seem like talking about that matter." If my father has something to say, please speak, and my sons will listen to him. ”

"I heard that King Jing came to you, and I heard that you killed a lot of eunuchs, what's going on, on the first day of the new year, what can't help it, making it like this, your mother is not very relieved, let me come and ask."

"Oh, some little things, not worth mentioning." She lowered her eyes and said softly.

"Really? I heard that the kid broke into your dormitory, how did you let him go so easily, and finally caught his mistake, and didn't take the opportunity to slaughter him, you kept him like this, waiting for him to kill you? "He doesn't understand, and he thinks Xue Yinong is too mother-in-law to do this." That kid has long been anti-hearted, no problem will have to cause problems sooner or later, you are so weak, and you are not crushed like a persimmon by others. ”

"Erchen knows that this is a rare and good opportunity. It's just that now is not the time to move him, the foundation of the sons is unstable, and the military power in his hands is not enough, so it is difficult to compete with him. ”

"You have a father! The father has soldiers in his hands, and it is not enough to wipe out the people under his hands, what are you afraid of, afraid that I will be a master? I'm almost idle now, you know? I hope they will make a move to wipe you out, and I'll find something to do. "He's fought all his life, and if he doesn't fight, it's boring. And he also has that kind of mentality, sweeping away all the people who hinder Xue Yinong, and giving his son a peaceful and prosperous world.

Xue Yinong smiled, for such a father who was willing to give up for himself. In her previous life, the impression of her father in her memory was not so cute, except for the constant trouble that came to her, he never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father, if someone sued her, you rely on me, she would really agree. It's just that this is all the previous thoughts, "Thank you father, but you are old, it is time to enjoy the blessings, this kind of thing, just do it, it doesn't matter, you don't need to worry about it." ”

still dislikes him for being old, "I can still eat two bowls of white rice and a pound of meat." ”

"Erchen knows that his father's sword is not old. Respecting the king's affairs, the sons wanted to settle it themselves. ”

Xue Yinong took a firm stance, and Xue Dingshan pursed his lips. "It's your own business if you want to solve it, but what you said yesterday, I didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and I discussed it with your mother for a long time, she persuaded me, saying that it is your world in the future, let me not rely on the old and sell the old, occupy the pit and not pull, but I can't promise you, my father's soldiers are my father's, and if you give it to you, it's not yours. If you want it, you have to rely on your own ability to snatch it away, there is no pie in the world, in short, you can do it. ”

Let him let him delegate power, he is really reluctant, it is a team that has followed him all his life, he will give up if he gives up, he is unwilling!

Xue Yinong saw his key clearly and did not force him. just smiled and said, "It's according to my father's will." ”

"Well, that's good. Okay, this matter is over, you should tell your father, why don't you start with King Jing, what did you kill the eunuch, but you can't deter a King Jing. ”

Of course she knew, but she was just making an example. It's just that Xue Qingqiu is not a monkey, he is a tiger who wants to eat people at any time, this is just a knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. In the face of Xue Dingshan, she has nothing to hide, she needs an alliance, and it is obvious that Xue Dingshan is a reliable candidate.

"Since my father wants to know, it's good for the ministers to reveal one or two." Xue Dingshan glared at her, and heard her say, "In addition to the lack of troops, of course, my father can make up for his sons." In addition, Erchen also thought about what would happen if he took this opportunity to kill King Gongjing? As soon as he dies, it will not fundamentally solve the problem, but will leave his subordinates unrestrained, his father is the one who leads the troops, and he should understand that the death of the lord will bring a mutiny, and everyone will rush to sit in that position, so it is inevitable to attack each other, and it is the people who suffer. Second, as soon as the king dies, the other vassal kings are afraid that they will be very happy with this result, and they will wantonly create a reputation that is not conducive to their sons, and at that time, it will be easier for the vassal kings to unite with each other, because everyone is in danger, and when they are afraid, they will do something to protect themselves, and what they will do, I think the father and emperor know very well, these are all to make trouble for themselves. And not to kill him, there are certain advantages. ”

Xue Dingshan groaned and said, "Come on." ”

"Yes, if you don't kill the king. First of all, starting from the rest of the vassal kings, they still have people suppressed, not daring to act rashly, after all, rebellion is not an easy task, from a historical point of view, rebellion in the era of peace, there are very few successes, even if the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Di is not nine deaths, and his opponent is Zhu Yunwen such a character, if he meets a powerful person, he will definitely die. They are not Zhu Di, and I am not Zhu Yunwen, not to mention, I still have my father and the emperor here. Xue Yinong didn't forget to pat a few sycophants, let Xue Dingshan be happy, and saw that he raised his eyebrows comfortably, "Secondly, from the perspective of respecting the king, from the perspective of my father, how about me?" ”

"Emotional, weak and incompetent, it is difficult to achieve great things."

Xue Yinong said: "Yes, Erchen should be proud of his heart and increase his contempt for Erchen, so that Erchen will have more chances to win him in the future, and people will always not care too much about a person who is not as good as himself." In addition, it is to buy time for his own strength, and the sons are still young, as his father said, he still needs to be honed. ”

Xue Yinong's words also analyzed the state of the enemy and the vassal kings who intended to take advantage of the fisherman. The general situation is like this, but it cannot be denied that she still has a long way to go in the various difficulties she has to face at present.

Xue Dingshan still raised his eyebrows, "Since you have a number in your heart, it's good, okay, I won't say more, you're busy!" After inquiring about Xue Yinong's idea, it was time for him to report to the Empress Dowager He and the Empress Dowager. Xue Yinong asked Luo Yan to send him out, and at this time, Ren's father-in-law came in, reported that everyone had used a good meal, and asked Xue Yinong if he had summoned him at this moment.

"Okay, just invite them to the imperial study, and say that I will be there soon."

Ren's father-in-law asked people to run to inform, and Luo Yan came back after sending the people away, cleaned up for Xue Yinong, and then prepared a long guard of honor and set off. In front of the imperial study, Ren's father-in-law shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The guards at the door of the imperial study knelt on one knee in unison. In between movements, the cold armor made the sound of colliding metal. Xue Yinong looked at the door of the imperial study, her eyes were confused, and she lowered her head and let Luo Yan help her get out of the sedan chair.
