"Your Majesty will not."

The emperor joked: "I won't? If I didn't, how could you have left Beijing six years ago? Don't you think that I am afraid of the power of the Lin and Qin families and dare not move you, or, after six years, I will be reluctant to let you go? ”

"The minister never thinks that His Majesty will not dare to kill the ministers or will not be willing to kill the ministers, and some will only be His Majesty will or not. If it was six years ago, the minister would not dare to say anything, but now the minister can dare to say that His Majesty will not. Qin Xun smiled, "Your Majesty is lenient, not an aggressive king. ”

In fact, Qin Xun's words have been mixed with some words to appease the emperor, he doesn't think that the emperor is a lenient monarch at all, after the emperor can ascend the throne, he will first take the Shen family and cross the river and tear down the bridge to the Chu family, so toss his brother Qi Ge, who has been incompatible since childhood, in recent years, because Lin Qin is powerful and thoughtful, he can still provoke and provoke his sons to fight each other when he has nothing to do, he doesn't think how benevolent this king is. Now the emperor will not kill him, first, among the two generals of the Lin family, his mother Lin Chu has already lived in Chang'an for a long time to train soldiers, and after going to Lin Yuan to hunt, his uncle Lin Yuan resigned from the army, which is no longer a serious problem for the emperor, and he does not need to make a big move to kill them all; The second is that if Qin Xun is killed when he is hunting in Lin Yuan, he will kill him, but at that time, he will miss a blow, and everyone who has a heart will already know that if he does this again, he will inevitably lose his royal bearing.

To put it bluntly, this is the emperor's self-esteem, and he wants this face.

Although Qin Xun was calm and sincere to the emperor, he couldn't think about what to say, and it was not difficult to move his mouth left and right to say a few good words and coax the ears of the Ninety-Five Emperor to be comfortable.

The emperor took two steps forward, staring at the young man's delicate appearance that resembled his mother, as if he wanted to read some hypocrisy and timidity from those deep sea blue eyes.

After a long time, the emperor finally eased his expression, and even smiled lightly: "You kid is already very smart, and now you are really sensible. ”

"Your Majesty's praise." Whether it can become a big thing or not, doesn't it depend on whether you allow it or not?

"This time I ordered the city to supervise the patrol of Jiangnan, he has not returned, I don't know what the situation is, Wei Zhi has lived in Jiangnan for six years, I want to hear a little about the official customs and people in Jiangnan, can you talk to me?"

"I'm glad to be able to share my worries with Your Majesty."

It wasn't until the emperor gossiped with Qin Xun that he let him go, Qin Xun walked out of the Xuanshu Palace, raised his hand and stroked the wound on his neck, and thought a little heavily, before he said that he was willing to make an oath with His Majesty, the emperor did not respond.

However, he did not expect to completely dispel the old worries in the heart of a suspicious king with the words of a teenager, what the emperor was most worried about, so he tacitly never mentioned it, so it is better to make a taboo word and not easily say it.

The Imperial Ancestor Tiger Talisman, which is above the current imperial power, such a holy relic that has not yet passed away, does it exist in the world? The original King Ping, and the current Lin family, no one came out to explain it clearly, so that the king was both suspicious and jealous, and it was difficult for Qin Xun to easily conclude whether it was good for this thing to exist or not.

Qin Zhenhai looked at the slender scar on his son's neck that had stopped bleeding and applied medicine on his neck compared to when he went back to the carriage, and knew who wrote it without asking too much.

"Beware of bathing these days, don't get wet." He admonished.

"Understood."

"I thought you would have to stay in Weiyang Palace for a little longer." Seeing that his son was sitting firmly, Qin Zhenhai instructed the coachman to drive back to the house.

"I originally planned to go to Zhaoyang Hall to see my aunt, but ......" Qin Xun pulled his collar, the plain clothes that the face saint was wearing today, the collar was soaked with blood when he was injured, and now it is dry and dark, and he looks a little frightened, "In a few days, don't worry, at this time, I heard that my aunt is pregnant again and is in labor at this time, so I can't alarm her." ”

Qin Zhenhai stretched out his hand and pressed it heavily on his son's shoulder.

"He's the emperor."

"Well, he's the emperor." Qin Xun replied.

The emperor is not affectionate, especially in Qi Duan today, he can mercilessly choose courtiers to balance the power of all parties, can get rid of his brother who has been favored by the emperor more than himself since he was a child, but he has not bullied his brother, and can retaliate the anger of his grandmother Empress Dowager Shen's political elbow to the Shen family, who suddenly lost his protection, and even if he once loved Lin Chu so much, once it comes to his imperial power, he can also ruthlessly attack Lin Chu's younger brother and son.

Even for the death of his original former empress Qu Peilan, there is a vague speculation that it was the emperor's revenge for his mother, the Empress Dowager Tang, who prevented him from marrying Lin Chu and choosing the daughter of another clan sister for him. As for why the two queens are out of the right phase of the Qu family, it is because the former queen Qu Peilan is the wife of the prime minister, but the current queen Zi Fang is the right side of the house, the emperor killed Qu Peilan is a revenge on the Tang family and the queen mother, but the re-establishment of the Qu family is a plausification of the Qu family.

Of course, the matter of the former queen is only a self-speculation by people with intentions, which is neither substantiated nor unspeakable.

However, today's affection is true, others look at him, they must not pay more attention to his identity, he is not a son, not a father, not a husband, not a friend, he is the emperor.

The real, lonely emperor.

When he returned to the house, Qin Zhenhai sent Qin Xun to the gate of the general's mansion, and said that he would go to his grandfather's place, so that the mansion did not have to wait for him to have lunch, so he left without his feet touching the ground.

As soon as Qin Xun stepped into the door, he was pounced on by a dumpling that rolled over.

"Cousin, cousin! Look if I'm pretty! The dumpling lay on Qin Xun's chest and shouted.

Qin Xun grabbed her by the back collar and pulled her off her body, looked at the other little girl who was wearing a purple skirt behind her and kept up unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "It's ugly, Scarlet is more beautiful than you." ”

The little girl in the pink skirt pouted and said, "You hate it!" Scarlet is not beautiful is me beautiful, we obviously look the same, you just don't want to praise me! ”

The two little girls are the twin cousins of Qin Xun's uncle's family, four years younger than Qin Xun, twelve years old, the one in the pink skirt is called Qin Wanyu, and the one in the purple skirt is called Qin Feilan, and the nicknames are Wanwan and Scarlet.

That is, when they were four or five years old, they were fascinated by the description of the "bamboo and immortal" of the young girls in Chang'an City.

"All beautiful, all beautiful, oops, how can I have such a pair of little cousins like fairies." Qin Xunzhen coaxed the little girl to have a sweet mouth, and with one hand, he wanted to stretch out his claws and rub the small hair ball on the two of her heads.

Only then did Qin Wanyu see the dried blood stains on his neckline, and jumped away screaming: "Why are you bleeding!" ”

Qin Xun subconsciously raised his hand to cover the bloodstains, but fortunately, there were slender scratches on the neck and blood flowing, and the palace maid beside him handed a handkerchief to cover it in time, and there were not many blood stains on the clothes, so as not to frighten the little girl.

He bent his eyes and laughed nonsense: "When I entered the palace today, I saw a beautiful palace maid sister, and I was itchy and wanted to steal a piece of incense. ”

Qin Wanyu was speechless: "It's all scratching and bleeding, don't the palace maids and sisters do not have nails!" ”

Qin Feilan said softly: "Before, the palace gave things to the house, and a few palace maids and sisters came together, and I saw that their little fingers and nails were long. ”

Qin Xun said in obedience: "Yes, this beautiful palace maid is even more amazing, her nails are as long as a banshee, and she will scratch my skin with a stroke, have you ever seen a banshee with Scarlet?" My cousin told you, there are banshees in the rivers and lakes, and they-"

"I said that the two of them came out to greet you and didn't go back for a long time, you have nothing to do to do here, what are you doing fooling the little girl?" Qin Huai angrily interrupted his next tirade.

"Oh, big brother, didn't you go to sleep and wake up so early?"

"It's not that these two girls came to the house early in the morning to play, and they woke me up." Qin Huai did the act of rubbing his head for Qin Xun that he had just been interrupted by the blood stain on his neckline, raised his eyes and saw the wound and blood stains on his neck, frowned and said, "You go and change your clothes first, there is a bloody breath." ”
