The Queen Mother still didn't wait for him to respond, and led him to the dim bell room, I don't know if it was because of the death of a fierce general in the bell room, and after a few steps, he felt the cold air rushing to his face, Xiao Qin Xun subconsciously dragged his body and was reluctant to move forward.

The Queen Mother was not embarrassed that he must go in, so she stopped, squatted down facing Qin Xun with her back to the direction of the inner bell room, took him a small hand on the left and right, and asked with a smile: "Xun'er doesn't want to go in?" ”

Qin Xun nodded hurriedly, this place was cold in the big summer, and the aunt and grandmother in front of him, the queen mother, who usually felt very kind, made him feel a little gloomy against the background of the dark bell room behind her.

The Queen Mother let go of his hand and rubbed his little face, meaningfully: "That...... I hope Xun'er will never set foot in this place for the rest of her life, okay? ”

For a lifetime, you can't get carried away and usurp the imperial power, what Danshu iron coupons, what death-free gold medals, if the people in the upper position really want you to die, even if you have promised you "three don't kill", you can also give you the disaster of the bell room.

Even at the age of seven, you should understand this truth, if you don't understand it now, you will always figure it out later.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she moved her hand with satisfaction, her pointed thumb nails pinched lightly under one of Qin Xun's blue eyes, and smiled meaninglessly: "Xun'er's beautiful appearance really looks like your grandmother." ”

Qin Xun's panicked mind still had the strength to live the appearance of his grandmother, the Duchess of Dingguo, an ordinary Daqi woman, whose appearance could only be said to be delicate and mediocre.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think about it, and he didn't dare to speak.

Of course, the Queen Mother could grasp the thoughts of the seven-year-old child in front of her, and continued to talk to him: "Is Xun'er thinking about her grandmother, is she not like this grandmother?" Xun'er was born very much like her mother, right, who is Xun'er's mother born like, grandfather or grandmother? Does Xun'er think that Duchess Dingguo is her grandmother? ”

The well-maintained middle-aged lady gently chanted a mantra and constantly induced the beautiful child to think carefully, Xiao Qin Xun's mind was in chaos, and he just wanted to leave the cold bell room, leave the queen mother who smiled strangely and the big grandmother who stood aside with a cold and stiff face like a statue, but his body was like lead and did not obey the call, he felt that the whole person was dizzy and as if he was about to explode, his scalp was numb for a while, and his palms were cold.

"Grandson to visit the imperial grandmother."

The tone of a calm child is not like that of a child of a few years old, and at the entrance of the bell room behind Qin Xun, it seems to have "ding" a handful in his heart, and suddenly pulled him back from his demonic stupe, Qin Xun turned around suddenly, and saw that the little cousin of Guicheng was alone in the sunlight pouring outside, and his white clothes were brightly illuminated, standing calm and quiet, and he somehow felt at ease in an instant.

The Queen Mother let go of Qin Xun and got up, the eldest grandmother straightened her dress, Qin Xun immediately ran towards Qi Jing in three steps and two steps and threw herself into his arms, and was held in Qi Xun's arms by both hands and felt the warm sunlight ironing her body again, Qin Xun felt that the body temperature that had been withdrawn slowly rose, and her body trembled slightly.

"Cousin." He was somewhat aggrieved.

Qi Jing patted him on the back soothingly, but did not speak to him, but smiled calmly and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandson wants to study with Weizhi's cousin today, I heard that he came to the imperial grandmother's place, and the grandson also came here to greet the imperial grandmother, and took Weizhi back by the way." ”

The Queen Mother wore the same kind smile: "The mourning family has not seen Jing'er for some days, how can you come out without a slave to serve, what if you meet a bad person?" ”

"There is no need for this, the imperial grandmother is in a peaceful place, and the grandson is at ease."

Of course, the queen mother could hear the meaning of this old child's words, he took into account the face of her, the imperial grandmother, and wanted to rot today's matter in the stomachs of a few of them, and she was also willing to give a few thin noodles and no longer embarrassed the children of the Qin family.

"Jing'er has a very good relationship with the cousin of the Qin family."

"Imperial grandmother, it's very good." You don't have to be so intimidating and tempting even when he's only seven years old. Qi Jing paused and said, "It's just that the two generals are busy with military affairs, he has less discipline, and he is more with his grandson on weekdays, and his grandson indulges him a little, he doesn't understand the rules very well, and he is afraid of the imperial grandmother. ”

Protect it like this, for fear that she will summon this child into Changle Palace again and treat him. The smile on the Queen Mother's face finally fluctuated, a little lighter, and her tone was a little cold: "Jing'er has a heart, the mourning family is a little tired, you two go back to study." ”

Qin Xun was whimpering all the way and was taken back to his Jingyang Hall in Weiyang Palace by Qi Jing that day, and he didn't know what to cry about, but he felt inexplicably panicked and sad, and it happened that he was accompanied by his little cousin, who had always followed him in everything, so he buried himself in the arms of his little cousin and whined like a coquettish whimper, patting his back and touching his head to comfort himself.

Qi Jing took him back to his room, called the palace maid to fetch a basin of water, and wrung a hand towel to wipe his face.

Qin Xun sobbed: "Won't I go home?" ”

"Today's things can no longer be outsiders, you go home from Changle Palace like this, it can't help but make people suspicious, stay with me today."

Qin Xun was full of concern for the last sentence "Let's stay with me today", his mood suddenly swept away the haze, and obediently raised his face to wipe his face for himself, and muttered idly: "Cousin, you say, does the Queen Mother not like me?" I thought she liked me very much, and she asked me to call her aunt and grandmother. ”

"You don't have much to do with the Queen Mother." Qi Jing threw the handkerchief back into the basin, combed his hair that was a little messy in front of his forehead, and nodded on his forehead by the way, "Don't ask why, you'll know later." ”

"Then if the Queen Mother summons me again, will I reject her with a token? I remember Your Majesty saying that even the Queen Mother could refuse this token. ”

"Don't use it, just keep this token, don't use it easily, just when you don't have this token, do you hear?" Qi Jing held his face solemnly and looked at him, "The Queen Mother will basically not call you again in the future, since I took you back today, she will not be in the future, you don't have to worry." ”

Qin Xun blinked his eyes, and he couldn't quite understand why Qi Jing would not embarrass him anymore when he took him the Queen Mother, but Qi Jing said that it would definitely not be, and he would not be afraid of Qi Jing with him.

In the next three years, until he left Chang'an, he really never saw the hostess of Changle Palace again, but he gradually intuitively felt that the one sitting on the dragon chair did not seem to be a good elder, and this intuition became stronger day by day, and it was finally confirmed when he went to Lin Yuan to hunt at the age of ten. When hunting, Qin Xun's uncle Yunlu general Lin Yuan accompanied him, was injured in an attack, and his legs and feet fell to the root of the disease, the emperor took pity on his body, and his nephew was injured, and he was promoted to an official and a secretary of the criminal department, so he didn't go to the battlefield again, and he cut the Lin family's military power lightly.

When the emperor was hunting, the heavily guarded Shanglin Yuan, where could such an intensively trained assassin be mixed in, and it was self-evident who was the mastermind behind it.

By the time Lin Chu finally decided to send his son to a family thousands of miles away to avoid the limelight, Qin Xun had quickly made up for the city that had been missing in the past ten years because of overprotection in a short period of time. In order to avoid suspicion of rebellion, it is impossible to resist and keep the military power.

Xi Guangling sighed: "I didn't know that the Empress Dowager Tang could do this. "I'm so old that I actually scared a seven-year-old child.

"A person like Childe, who has been able to be a bloodless 'boya' for many years, and the dirty things he has seen are not as good as my sixteen-year-old students." Qin Xun picked up a green bamboo leaf that fell on the table, and gently blew it away to the ground, "So you said that you don't conspire with each other, and I also know that people know how cold and warm they are when they drink water." ”

Xi Guangling frowned, but he didn't rush to speak.

"Childe, I am no longer a child, I must always have the power to protect myself. Don't say that I can shrink under the protection of the two ancestors of the country, I actually can't trust the Lin and Qin families at all, and I only believe in my maternal uncle and eldest brother, and I don't trust the whole family. The grandfather of the Qin family didn't like my mother and me, and the grandfather of the Lin family really loved me, but the only person who could really make my grandfather sacrifice the interests of himself and the entire Lin family was my grandmother," Qin Xun paused, "I mean my maternal grandmother, the one who passed away." As for other people, even his children, even my mother who was born to his maternal grandmother, in his heart, he can't compare to the entire Lin family, let alone me, my grandson. If one day the misfortune of the bell chamber is to cause trouble, and the two princes are still in charge of affairs, and need to exchange me for the peace of the family, I am really not sure what they will choose between me and the family; But if the two of them are gone, it will be difficult for the family and me to even be saved, and the emperor has wanted to pull out Lin Qin for too long. I must protect myself, and I will protect myself with forces outside the court, but it can't be the Magnificent Villa. It was precisely because the emperor did not want him to contact martial arts, so the villa said that Qin Xun did not have a good foundation for martial arts and taught him medical skills, he could not follow Lu Yuanshan to practice martial arts openly, and he did not want to secretly learn the martial arts of the villa to cause trouble for the villa, so he chose the secret and powerful killing sect.

"If it's just for self-preservation, I'm afraid it won't be enough to lead you into the sect of murder." Xi Guangling said lightly.

"Childe is wise." Qin Xun habitually propped his elbows on his cheeks, and asked him with a smile, "Is Childe interested in guessing, what else am I for?" ”
