Atypical Redemption [Fast Wear] v. 64
The sun was setting in the west and rising in the east, and when Lin Zhi opened his eyes again, it was already daytime.
01: [Host, you slept for three days QAQ]
01 manually added emojis to express his concern.
Lin Zhi felt that his body was much better, and he no longer had the extremely strong feeling of exhaustion on the way he was transported before.
He calmed the frightened system and asked, "Has Pei Duo been here for the past three days?" 】
01's tone was lower: [No, he hasn't been here since he walked into the palace from his room that day. 】
01 I don't understand, such a cute fox, how can he not bear to every day, it condemns him very much!
This was within Lin Zhi's expectations, Pei Duo had already let him stay by his side to be his demon pet because he was not a threat, since it was not important if there was no threat, of course it was easy to be thrown aside, after all, Pei Duo was very busy.
It is necessary not only to mediate among the royal family and various forces, but also to strategize in all directions.
Although he has achieved the position of a powerful eunuch, he is not vicious enough, he can't really see the mess of the court and only care about his own pleasure, and he can't hack talented ministers at will to deter others and stabilize his position, so there are always people who are ready to move.
Even if he became a eunuch and a eunuch who was secretly poked and scolded, Pei Duo still has the style of Zechuan Pei's family.
The Pei clan has always produced capable ministers, and there are factions in the court, but they are also very entangled.
They support Pei Duo, but they hope that Pei Duo will not monopolize power, but at least let the emperor have the majesty of the emperor and let the emperor decide the direction of government affairs, not his puppet.
They felt sorry for what happened to Pei Duo, and they had been in the same boat with Pei Duo for a long time, but they didn't want the Zechuan Pei family to lose their reputation in the history books and become a party of power, hoping to continue to maintain their reputation.
Because they care about reputation, Pei Duo also has to think more about doing things, not to mention that he also takes care of the heavy responsibility of the Demon Division, not only to worry about whether anyone will kill him, but also about whether the demons and ghosts will cause trouble in the world and make the world not peaceful.
Lin Zhi thought that it might be abnormal for him not to have a headache, and it was difficult for him to have expectations for life, if everything was stable, from the perspective of solving the problem, maybe his death would be the best ending, as long as he lived, someone would criticize him and attack the Pei family with him.
Unless he breaks off the relationship with the Pei family, completely cuts off the table, and even lets the Pei family attack him, he can have both.
The honor and reputation of the family are extremely important in later generations, let alone ancient times.
Jade can be broken but not changed to white, and bamboo can be burned but not destroyed.
Lin Zhi felt a little pity, and once again felt that the convenience of this fox body could at least allow Pei Duo to let down a little guard, if he was a big living person, I am afraid it would not be so easy to approach Pei Duo.
The Buddha Lotus has been absorbed for many days, and when Lin Zhi jumped out of it, the golden petals of the Buddha Lotus have been a little dull, almost turning white, only the tips of the petals have a little bit of gold, and they no longer overflow with brilliance.
Lin Ori shook his tail, and the fluffy and soft fur swayed in the air with his movements.
Lin Zhi felt that his injuries had healed, and his body did not feel heavy, running in the wide courtyard, familiar with the fox's body.
The fox's body was light and could run very fast, anyway, there was no one in the courtyard, Lin Zhi ran around to survey the terrain, and then saw the puppet maid who was quietly watching him in the corner, and his movements froze.
The waitress walked out of the courtyard unchanged, and after a while walked in with a food box and ate on the stone table.
Food and pastries were placed in delicate shallow dishes, and water was placed in a deeper jade bowl.
After doing this, the maid returned to the corner.
Lin Zhi thought that it was good that he was not human, otherwise he would really be scared.
Chapter 58: The Fox Demon Pet of the Eunuch
In the slightly cold palace, a faint incense burns not far from the desk.
The little eunuch hunched over and steadily picked up the tray, and quickly transported the folds contained inside to the imperial study.
Pei Duo looked at the desk that had cleared a small part, held Zhu Pi in his hand, and continued to look at the folds in his hand.
"Cousin, you see, this is the third one this month."
Pei Sheng, who was sitting upright, handed the fold in his hand to Pei Duo, and then did not speak again, waiting for Pei Duo to speak with bated breath.
He is a descendant of the Pei family, and his father is the fourth brother of Pei Duo's father, so he calls Pei Duo's cousin.
In this year's palace examination, he was the emperor's hand-picked Tanhua, entered the Hanlin Academy, and was valued by his cousin and was promoted to participate in government affairs.
However, he is only in the learning stage now, and he can't directly intervene in the government and politics, so he is currently watching the excerpts for his cousin to roughly prioritize things, sifting the excerpts that have been sifted through again, and then sending the unimportant parts to the emperor's desk.
When Pei Sheng did this for the first time, his heart was beating wildly and he was in the uneasiness of blaspheming the imperial power, and the elders always told him to be cautious, and his mother even advised him not to associate too closely with his cousin, but Pei Sheng had an idea.
He knew that the emperor didn't want to name him as the top three at all, even if he was knowledgeable and talented, he deliberately ignored him, and it was only because his cousin was standing on the side that the emperor finally praised him with a smile.
The emperor was using him to express his dissatisfaction with his cousin, Pei Sheng had no complaints in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't write two Pei characters with one stroke, and if his cousin fell, it would be impossible for their Pei family not to be implicated. Now that the thing has been done, there is no turning back from the bow.
Slowly, he looked through these twists and turns, and his heart became more and more stable, no longer beating wildly, not only flustered, but what he saw and learned far more than before, so he admired his cousin even more.
If there were no things back then, a person as talented as his cousin would definitely be named on the gold list and then famous for thousands of years, but unfortunately now there is a shortage of white walls and it is no longer the past.
The last time they saw each other was more than ten years ago, when his cousin was eight years old and he was three years old, playing behind his cousin.
Pei Sheng suppressed the sigh in his heart, his expression became more and more solemn, waiting for Pei Duo to speak.
"Don't worry about it, just leave it alone."
Pei Duo only glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.
Pei Sheng was a little puzzled, but he still pressed the fold down.
This is an excerpt from Jingzhou, Jingzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the state pastor said that bandits have been rampant recently, and he hopes that the imperial court will send troops to suppress it, and it is very urgent to think about it, and he actually played three letters in January, why did my cousin turn a blind eye?
Pei Duo didn't explain for him, and his mind drifted to the matter of Jingzhou.
The Jingzhou Prefecture Governor colluded with those water bandits for not a day or two, and often joined hands to oppress the merchants, on the one hand, they increased the commercial tax exploitation, and on the other hand, let the water bandits wait to rob the goods, unless the merchants could offer seventy percent of the profits, in order to ensure that the goods were in good condition.
In the middle of last month, the rare goods they plundered disappeared out of thin air, and the two groups of people bit each other, thinking that the other party was privately swallowed, Jingzhou Mu wanted to suppress the bandits, but he also shook off the matter, so he only dared to go to the imperial court, and then pretended to be a friend to inform the water bandits, so as to achieve his own goal in the middle, his strategy Pei Duo was clear, because the goods were hidden by him.
Let's mess up more, mess up a little more.
Pei Duo thought so, but the aura around him quietly cooled.
Pei Sheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again, although his cousin was very gentle, Pei Sheng didn't think he was really good at talking.
If the cousin is kind, it will also send chills down the spine, and his cold face will make people's hearts beat.
As he was watching the recital, he suddenly heard his cousin laugh, not in ridicule, but in pleasure over something.
He looked curiously and saw that there was an extra note on his cousin's desk at some point.
Because the distance was not far, Pei Sheng also saw what was written on it.
I woke up at a moment, galloped in the court, saw that the slave was slightly frightened, ate a lot, especially chicken soup, and sipped half a bowl of clear water.
Pei Sheng asked with some surprise: "My cousin has a little pet?" ”
There is nothing surprising about raising pets in itself, but Pei Sheng knows that those cats and dogs will take a detour when they see their cousins, even if it is the pampering and tickling cat raised by Concubine Shu, and the fierce dog raised by the eldest princess, they dare not speak up when they see their cousins, Pei Sheng can hardly imagine that there are animals that are not afraid of his cousin.
"A little fox."
Pei Duo took the note and slept for three days, and the little fox could be regarded as waking up.
Just by looking at the words, he could imagine the little fox running around the yard and then suddenly seeing the maid startled, it must be a worthless and cute appearance.
Thinking like this, Pei Duo missed the smooth and soft touch of his fur a little, and decided to go back to see him in the evening.
Pei Sheng bowed his head, obviously feeling that his cousin's mood was much better, and the weight that seemed to be like a substance relieved his heart.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the bright light is replaced by night.
Lin Zhi ate dinner and fell asleep on the stone table.
It's really that he is too bored, the injuries on his body have not healed thoroughly, and he can't cultivate rashly, and the aura of the Buddha Lotus has almost been absorbed by him, and now it is not blooming.
He couldn't leave this small courtyard, and he didn't have any requirements when he first arrived, so he could only eat, sleep, and watch the clouds flow in the sky.
01's voice made him open his eyes from his sleepiness and straighten up.
[Host, the coordinates of the mission object have moved, and he is approaching here!] 】
After a while, the puppet maid came out of the corner, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Weaving, and looked around Lin Weaving's body, as if looking for the best posture to lift him in.
Of course, Lin Zhi would not wait to be carried in by her, and jumped off the stone table and walked in the direction of the bedroom, moving quickly, like a purple streamer.
The summer night was still hot, but Pei Duo's room was a little cold.
The maid closed the door after Lin Zhi entered, and stood quietly aside.
Passing through the screen, Lin Zhi saw Pei Duo sitting on the bed.
He was wearing a navy blue official robe embroidered with dark lines, and his body was slender, and Lin Weaving came in because he was closing his eyes and taking a nap, and opened his eyes after hearing the movement.
"Little fox, come here."
Lin Zhi didn't go over, but took two steps back, the fox ears stood up vigilantly, and his purple eyes were full of vigilance.
Pei Duo's expression did not change, and he looked at him quietly, but his eyes became colder and colder.
Behind him, the mist representing his emotions was black and thick.
"I'm not stupid, your current state looks wrong, what if you strangle me to death if I lean over?"
The little purple fox said vigorously, and the fur on its body was slightly fried.
Lin Zhi kept in mind the character design, he was really not stupid and sweet, he had a transaction with a dangerous person, although he became the other party's demon pet, but after being framed, he ran to others so defenselessly, which is really big-hearted.
People have a desire to be tame, and it's not interesting to be obedient like a quiet doll when they come up, Pei Duo doesn't like others to play with him, but it doesn't mean that he likes people who are so obedient that they have no temper.
The coldness in Pei Duo's eyes was dissipated by the fox's words, he held his forehead, closed his eyes and laughed.
I really don't know whether to say smart or stupid fox, I think I'm used to staying in the mountains, I can't talk around the corner, and I won't be careful to please.
The pain of almost trying to stretch his skull apart made Pei Duo's breathing a little chaotic, his fingers clenched into fists, leaning on the bed, and his lips gradually turned white.
A noisy whisper sounded uncontrollably in his ears, and the tip of his nose seemed to smell a scorching stench, Pei Duo clearly knew that it was an illusion, and endured the throbbing pain in his head.
I'm afraid it's going to be a little harder today, tonight is the full moon, whether it's the aura or the aura of demons, it will be much stronger.
Two hours later he would also be present in the palace, lest anyone notice that he would be alone at the time of the full moon, and that no one would be able to find out the pattern.
The show girl election began at the beginning of the month, calculating the time, the show girl has been transported in various places, the emperor and several princes who were originally at odds with each other have already put pressure together, asking the Pei family to send the concubine, only the fourteen-year-old cousin niece is in line, the cousin and nephew are stubborn, unwilling to marry in a hurry to let the family have one more handle to be caught, and is willing to come to the imperial city to contribute to the Pei family, but this cannibal cave is destined to torture her.
Pei Duo wanted to think more about things to distract himself, but his head hurt more and more.
Suddenly, the chaotic ghost whispers in my head were a little lower, and even the headache seemed to have diminished a little.
Pei Duo opened his eyes, and the little fox was squatting in front of him for some time, and he was closing his eyes as if casting a spell.
The fluffy foxtail hung down, and the tip of the tail was right on the side of his hand.
