Lai Xing'er was ******** trying to find another reason to refuse Li Jinzhong's so-called kindness, and suddenly heard him talk about the fact that he had not been clean when he entered the palace, and his heart was shocked at first, but his face was red, and he was not sure whether he should tell the truth to Li Jinzhong and Lu Guangting for a while.

Seeing that Lai Xing'er, who had always been smart and playful, was blushed by his own question, Li Jinzhong mistakenly thought that there was already a matter of men and women between him and Jinping, so he laughed and relieved him: "It is not surprising that young and frivolous people are inevitable." Uncle Shi tried his best to excuse you in front of the emperor, although he saved your life, but this uncleansed palace as a eunuch has never happened since the founding of this dynasty, why did the emperor completely ignore your sins, and asked you to join the forbidden army? I'm afraid Uncle Shi doesn't have such a big face to be able to do this. ”

Hearing that Li Jinzhong was ashamed to take all the credit for saving his life, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but sip in his heart. It wasn't until he heard these words behind him that Lai Xing'er suddenly came to his senses, and the reason why Li Jinzhong was in a hurry to see him overnight was to ask why he was sent to the gate of the Jin State Mansion as a guard.

Seeing through this layer, Lai Xing'er rolled his eyes, deliberately pretended to be confused, opened his eyes wide and asked Li Jinzhong: "I thought that it was your uncle who lifted up in front of the emperor, so that Zai Xia not only got rid of the capital crime, but also got what he wanted and joined the forbidden army. I don't think you know anything about it, it's strange! ”

Lu Guangting secretly laughed at the pair of young and old people competing to act in front of him, and the acting skills of the two were equal, it was difficult to argue, so he stood up, personally poured a bottle of wine for Lai Xing'er, and explained for Li Jinzhong: "Now in the Chaozhong Palace, except for Enxiang, who will have such a big face?" It must be that the emperor took into account the affection of the emperor afterwards, and he was not guilty of Lai Xing'er's past, and he was extraordinarily gracious, so he transferred you to the Jin State Mansion as an errand, think about it carefully, is it this reason? ”

Only then did Li Jinzhong realize that he was eager to ask the emperor about the emperor's true attitude towards him from Lai Xing'er's mouth, and his words were indeed a little too many, so he waved his hand at him with a smile through Lu Guangting's words, and humbly said: "The thunder, rain and dew are all from Jun'en." Guangting must not say this in front of Xing'er, he will be ashamed to kill the old man. ”

Lai Xing'er knew that Lu Guangting was lying for Li Jinzhong, and he didn't tell it, he only picked up the wine bottle full of wine, and said respectfully to Li and Lu: "I am young, there are seven or eight out of ten things I don't know in this world, and if the words are inappropriate, please also invite the two seniors Haihan." But to drink this bottle full, a little guilty. General Wu governed the army strictly, and did not dare to stay in the lord's mansion for a long time, so please allow me to leave here. ”

He drank the bottle of wine on his back, turned around and was about to go out.

"Did you not understand what Uncle Shi just said, or did you not believe Uncle Shi?" Li Jinzhong couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw that Lai Xing'er didn't take his kindness seriously at all.

"Dare to ask your lordship, why do you just want to keep such a person who is to be convicted by your side on an errand?" Lai Xing'er turned around, looked at Li Jinzhong without fear, and asked straight to the point.

Although Lu Guangting vaguely guessed some of Li Jinzhong's thoughts, he didn't take it seriously.

Wu Bi openly sent Lai Xing'er, who had no affection for Li Jinzhong, to the Jin State Mansion, which was a precursor to the emperor's imminent attack on Li Jinzhong; To put it mildly, it also shows that the emperor is already wary of Li Jinzhong. Li Jinzhong wanted to do what he planned, ostensibly entrapment Lai Xing'er and left him in the palace as an errand boy, on the one hand, to show his tolerance and generosity to the emperor and Wu Bi, and on the other hand, he also wanted to further test the reaction of the emperor and Wu Bi to this in this way. His scheming is not insignificant.

However, according to the analysis of the situation he had mastered in the palace in the past few days, there was no suspense that Li Jinzhong had become the next target that the emperor had focused on, and in this case, he had found two foolproof retreats for him: either he directly asked the emperor for the prince's title, avoided leaving the capital, and with Li Jinzhong's various exploits such as helping the emperor to ascend to the pole and the great victory won by the Jinggong, the emperor categorically would not take further punishment measures against him; Either advance as retreat, and protest to the emperor with the actual action of sending Lai Xing'er back to Wu Bi's side, knocking out that he has realized the emperor's distrust of him, forcing the emperor not to openly turn his face in the short term, and then slowly give up power and find a way out.

Now, Li Jinzhong is using the most threatening method: to this day, he is still trying to fight wits and courage with the emperor, putting on a posture of not admitting defeat, and wanting to deal with the emperor to the end. Doesn't he understand that even if you are the emperor's own father, once you openly provoke the emperor's authority, you will only end up in pieces? As a subordinate, he can only show weakness in front of the monarch, but cannot be strong.

Lai Xing'er's seemingly sharp question at this time sounded to Lu Guangting, which provided a perfect opportunity for Li Jinzhong to rein in the precipice and change his course in time.

As Li Jinzhong's most relied on and trusted subordinate for many years, he can't stop pulling Li Jinzhong one last time.

"Come to Xing'er, go back. Your uncle drank a few more bottles of wine before he was joking with you, and he couldn't take it seriously. Lu Guangting got up and stopped in front of Li Jinzhong, and hurriedly commanded Lai Xing'er.

"Someone!"

Li Jinzhong suddenly burst out with an angry roar.

Seven or eight guards from the Jin State Mansion appeared from the darkness in response, holding swords in their hands, and surrounded Lai Xing'er.

"This old man has fallen in love." Li Jinzhong stood up, pushed Lu Guangting away, pointed at Lai Xing'er, and ordered loudly, "From tonight onwards, I will stay in the old man's study with a few of you." He is still young, so you should take care of him more. Did you hear it? ”

The guards responded to the "order" in unison, and still gathered around Lai Xing'er and did not disperse.

"Eun Xiang, you better let him go!" Lu Guangting pleaded almost in despair.

"I've made up my mind, and no one else needs to say more." Li Jinzhong raised his hand to stop Lu Guangting, and said to Lai Xing'er with a dry smile, "Who told you that your uncle personally brought you out of the idle stable?" Uncle Shi didn't keep you by his side, so I really couldn't rest assured. Wu Bi's old man deliberately uses you to deal with Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi wants you to come and see with your own eyes how he lifted a stone to hit his own feet! (To be continued.) )
