What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 127 Chapter 120
Speaking of this, Shangguan Luming held a plate of pastries and gnashed his teeth bitterly, as if he was chewing someone's flesh and blood.

Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor.

"It's fine that Lu Yuanzhi comes to my house every two days to look for my sister. Every time he insists on seeing me and asking me about things, do I want to see his face?"

Ruan Yan nodded, and served him another plate of lotus seed cake.

"It's easy to bite your tongue if you eat like this."

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Luming screamed, covering his mouth and looking for water to rinse his mouth.

"Crow's mouth."

Shangguan Luming finally closed his mouth.

"If Xiao Qi hadn't been ordered by His Majesty, he wouldn't have deliberately intervened in the case of the Third Division."

Ruan Yan spoke unhurriedly, not minding that Shangguan Luming's pastry crumbs stained his tea table.

"I know that you and Xiao Qi have a good personal relationship, but this is His Majesty's intention, neither you nor I can persuade him."

Shangguan Luming dipped his tea and wrote the word "Duan" on the table.

After all, King Duan is a hot potato. Among the courtiers who firmly supported Wei Anxing's crown prince, how many still harbored the intention of welcoming King Duan to the throne and ending the so-called women's chaos?
The cases that Xiao Qi transferred were all tails that the Duan Wang Party could not hide.Once in the Xuan Yu Division, Xiao Qi can make them bite out a string. Although it can stabilize the imperial power, it will disturb the punishment, which is not a long-term solution.

So Shangguan Luming disagreed.

"Come on, days like this won't be too long."

Ruan Yan stretched out a "reverse" from the water stain under Shangguan Luming's hands, and smoothed the water stain.

"Li Kong and Dingyuan's army have already rescued King Duan, and there must be action soon."

Undercurrents are surging, the more chaos Xiao Qi makes on the bright side, the safer those people feel, but they don't know that Wei Huai'en's every move is under the control of Wei Huai'en, just waiting to catch them all.

"This kind of thing can only be done by Xiao Qi. I have to worry about my sister's family. Although you care less than me, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will think that you are too close to the Lu family, so you hide here to avoid suspicion? It seems Are you quite satisfied with my elder nephew being your brother-in-law?"

"You don't take advantage of my seniority here... Ouch."

Shangguan Luming covered his mouth again, the pain was severe.

"Let's say a few words less, I know you are worried that Lu Zhong's right and left will cause His Majesty's suspicion, but if you believe me, let go of your worries. Your Majesty trusts the Lu family far more than we imagined."

The emperor needs a confidant, and more importantly, a pillar of support.The avenue is as simple as it is simple, and the sound of great music is rare. The only thing an official should be loyal to is not the flesh and blood on the emperor's platform, but the emperor's platform itself.

Whoever is in his position is loyal to him.

There has long been no distinction between good and evil among all those in the vortex of power, there are only winners and losers.

"Don't be surprised when I say this..."

Shangguan Luming got up to leave.

"If it wasn't for your face, just based on what Lu Zhong did when His Majesty hid in his residence, he would have been pushed out by His Majesty long ago like Taifu Yu."

"impossible."

Ruan Yan blew on the white mist of the tea soup, and the heat smoked the cage, covering his eyes with sarcasm.

"As long as he is useful to His Majesty, he will be stable. There is never justice in the palace."

This is the reason why he didn't want to become an official back then. If everyone bears sins, if everyone counts benefits, don't you find it ridiculous that benevolence, righteousness and morality come from the mouths of these officials?

The fighting in the Shura field blurred right and wrong, but they had to win in order to make the Fuze Tianxia Gong's decree in Qianqiu come into effect safely, and to make the mess of the court meaningful.

There was chaos in front of him, and the road ahead was uncertain. He had to endure everything that he was least willing to endure before, in order to make the kingdom that should belong to that person bright.

"Brother Ruan also knows me."

Wei Huaide's voice and smile appeared in front of Ruan Yan's eyes, as if he was still alive and talking with him as before.

For many years.

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Pei Yi took the meritorious service of pacifying the rogue bandits in Mingzhou, and brought the generals of the Dingyuan army to Beijing to be entrusted with the post of General of Weining, and bestowed the mansion in Beijing.

It was originally decided that the Yuan Army was renamed the Weining Army, with additional personnel and officials, and the old system was rebuilt.

Wei Anxing finally met his mother who had been away for half a year, and Wei Huaien agreed to his request to go out of the palace for a few days to reunite with Pei Yi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of entering the palace with Pei Yi, Wanglou had a close talk with Xiao Qi, and wrote a list of those in the Weining Army who are still committed to serving King Duan on the spot.

"Thanks to the letter of Heli that you gave me with the seal of approval, after Wei Huairen and Pei Yi met once, they directly threatened to tear His Majesty's body into pieces.

What an idiot, I guess he can't help but do it, you should have planned. "

After finishing speaking, the list was written, Wanglou blew on the wet ink marks, and handed it to Xiao Qi.

"Where's Li Kong? You said you'd plant a Gu on him before, but it worked?"

Xiao Qi glanced at the first few names, and it turned out to be old acquaintances from the assassination in Mingzhou.

"It's done. His life is in my hands now, and he can die suddenly at any time."

When Wanglou turned his wrist, a triangular snake head protruded from the cuff, even if Xiao Qi was not surprised, he secretly pressed his hand on the dagger.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to open your eyes. For the sake of He Li Shu, you helped me, do you want to give you a love gu? I heard that His Majesty didn't treat you very well before."

"Thank you, but you don't have to."

Xiao Qi resolutely refused without even thinking about it, he just wanted to send this dangerous person out of the palace as soon as possible.

Who can guarantee that the watchtower's ability will not be used to threaten Wei Huai'en?He had to find an opportunity to tell her the details of this person, so that the shadow guards around her should be more careful.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, otherwise Yi'er should be suspicious."

Wanglou shrugged, walked around Xiao Qi and opened the door.

"and many more."

Xiao Qi suddenly stopped him.

"Love Gu... how to use it?"

In another side hall, Wei Huaining drank too much wine and was leaning on the couch by the window with the wind blowing and closing his eyes to rest.

Qingyun stood on one side, took a deep breath to subdue the ache in his heart, forced himself to speak briskly and asked:
"Your Highness has taken a fancy to the lead dancer? Do you want to ask His Majesty for it?"

Wei Huaining didn't speak, Qingyun tentatively raised his hand to touch her temple, but seeing her frowning, he went on rubbing and pressing her.

She despises his stupidity, nor his shyness.After the Empress Dowager was driven to the Imperial Temple by His Majesty, she was afraid of being conspicuous and lived in seclusion, and she was even more dissatisfied with him everywhere.

He also didn't know how to get along with her more and more. He had only heard that we could share weal and woe with her, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around. He has survived such a difficult time, and now he is unworthy.

Maybe it was because he thought too much, thinking that His Royal Highness Tian Family would speak well, and the oath was for the rest of his life, but he forgot that he was a lowly thing. If she hadn't acted out of line, he would have been delusional even to see her.

So he hated her playfulness, but he had to thank her for her playfulness.

"Go, go and ask for it for me, and then you will get out of my house."

Wei Huaining leaned on him and said hurtful words, obviously she found that she was completely tired of the past pleasure-seeking, even though she disliked him, she couldn't let go of Qingyun, but her mouth was used to being arrogant, and she still took pleasure in embarrassing him.

She said that he would be the only one in the future, even if she almost broke the contract, who would give him the courage to help her find beauty?She doesn't need it!

What he did would only remind her of Zhao Xingde, who sent entertainers and actors whenever she asked for something.

She can only wonder if her previous wandering was completely wrong, and she doesn't deserve to be loved at all now?
Qingyun sat on the edge of the couch awkwardly, Wei Huaining was comfortable on the pillow, but he didn't know how uncomfortable his posture was.

"I know I was wrong, I must remember it next time."

His submissiveness made her frown in dissatisfaction again, Qing Yun could only do her best to relieve her headache and keep her duty as a slave.

"Forget it, come back."

In Qingyun's eyes, Wei Huaining became more and more moody, he could only serve in fear, but he was still unable to please him.

She hadn't smiled at him for a long time.He knew that he shouldn't have extravagant expectations, but he had worked hard to learn her favorite calligraphy and painting, and he really... didn't know what to do.

"Slow down, Your Highness."

He took the initiative to help her down the steps, and looked at the ground under her feet with perfect eyes.

But she raised her head and looked at Qinghui's consummation. She didn't know how the queen mother, who deserved what she deserved, was doing in the imperial temple at the moment?

It may be that the mother's debt is paid by the daughter. The mother's crime of assassinating the imperial concubine and the heir, participating in the assassination of Prince Huaide, and colluding with foreign relatives will also make her, a daughter she doesn't care about, tainted with karma and have no peace.

Fortunately, she has him.

"I'm tired, you can carry me on your back."

She leaned her head full of heavy hairpins on his shoulder, coveting the peace of mind that she didn't have to force Noble at this moment.

Royal study.

"These bastards!"

Wei Huai'en swung the entire stack of impeachment memorials to the ground, rolled up his cuffs and swept over the imperial pen temporarily on the pen holder, and a scarlet mark was drawn from the dragon robe to the bright wrist, which was as wet as blood.

It was late at night, and dark clouds quietly covered the full moon, bringing bleak wind and rain.The damp air came through the window, but it couldn't dispel her gloom.

Wei Huaien leaned on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at his stained wrist, and said nothing.

The palace people were silent like cicadas, no one dared to clean up the scattered folders, and no one dared to make unnecessary noises at this time, to make the master even more upset.

These people followed Wei Huai'en sooner or later, but the people in the palace were best at observing words and expressions, allowing them to know who the master needed at this time.

Mingfeng lowered his head, calmly wrapped the fly whisk around his fingers and let go, counted silently, and decided that the master would not come back when he counted to one hundred, so he boldly went to pick up the booklet and persuaded the master to calm down.

"But Master, come back quickly..."

Ming Feng counted to 72, and began to complain in his heart.

He peeked at his master letting the streak of cinnabar condense on his wrist, and his calf had already started to tremble slightly.

The master loves being clean the most, but every time he is extremely angry, he likes to put some red on his body...

Then Master will bring those red colors to other people's homes.

"98...99..."

After counting one hundred, it would be unsatisfactory not to serve the master.

Mingfeng closed his eyes as if he was dead, bit his lower lip and tensed his expression, walked over quietly and knelt on the ground to pick up the booklets one by one.

Suddenly his scalp tightened, Ming Feng clenched his flesh tightly and dared not speak, he only endured Wei Huai'en's extremely oppressive gaze, and did not dare to have unnecessary reactions.

Wei Huai'en doesn't like to criticize palace officials.

Although a large part of the reason is that Xiao Qi has already disciplined the ignorant palace servants before she knew it, but another part of the reason is that she doesn't like too many people in her field of vision.After all, if you don't see him, you won't have the chance to annoy her.

But now looking at the trembling Ming Feng, Wei Huai'en also felt that it was an eyesore, and he didn't understand why the apprentices taught by Xiao Qi were so different from him.

So why didn't Xiao Qi come back?
Ming Feng's heart is the same as that of Wei Huai'en.The palace people who silently nodded their heads in the shadows to lower their sense of presence were also looking forward to Chief Manager Xiao's return as soon as possible.

The sound of rain outside the door was suddenly mixed with the noise of raindrops falling on the umbrella, and the sound of well-regulated footsteps even in rainy days made everyone in the hall breathe easily.

Xiao Qi came in and bowed straightly, Ming Feng got his eyes and bowed back, after taking away a few palace people, he closed the door and guarded under the eaves outside the palace.

This sudden autumn rain suddenly became lovely, Ming Feng straightened his waist and waved the dust whisk casually, taking a deep breath of the washed air.

It's a cool autumn.

When the master came back, he also had the intention to be arty.

"Pick it up and have a look."

In the hall, Wei Huai'en did not look at Xiao Qi, but leaned back in his chair and stared at the glaring blood red on his fair skin.

Xiao Qi picked up a copy, but still stood at a respectful distance, and did not walk up to Wei Huai'en as usual.

Wei Huaien put down his right hand, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

He and her are separated by the table, and a few steps away, she doesn't like Xiao Qi being so far away from her.

"finish watching?"

"finish watching."

Xiao Qi saluted again.

Wei Huai'en, who was not so angry at first, suddenly became irritable again. She hadn't said anything yet, why did he put on such a resigned look?

"They told me to kill you, did you see that?"

"Yes."

Wei Huai'en hated him like this, so he stood up and walked in front of him, raised his head and met his downcast eyes.

"Then do you think I should listen?"

Xiao Qi's eyes didn't fluctuate, he already knew that those people were watching every move of him and his subordinates day and night, and they were going to put them eunuchs and even the whole Xuanyu Division in prison.

He was really eager for quick success and quick benefits in his work recently, which probably frightened those people, and Duan Wang added fuel to the flames, so he made her worry again.

"Wait a little longer. Your Majesty, the servant will give you an explanation soon."

He never regretted anything he did, he tortured him to extract a confession, framed an assassination, he spared no effort to fulfill her orders, and cleared away all obstacles in her path to Fengming Nine Heavens.

It's just that it's almost time to end, so his heart seems to have softened a lot.Today he had to do something to an upright person, but he didn't want that person to be an old friend with his father.

He has been in charge of Xuan Yu Division Prison for many years, this is the first time that scolding has been heard in his ears and touched his heart.

That person is right, he is a scum, a stain on the country, not worthy of being a human being, only worthy of going to the [-]th floor of hell.

But he will.

Angrily, Wei Huai'en pushed him hard, took another half step forward and grabbed his skirt, and wiped the red color on his right hand onto his white undershirt.Now Xiao Qi reacted from that lifeless state, and opened his eyes wide to watch her put her hand into his lapel where the love gu was hidden.

　I don’t know how to use love Gu today, Xiao Qi is not that kind of person
