The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 17

Xie Linxi took a fixed look at Qi Jingyuan, Qi Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Wu Shuang, you are the person who knows this king best, this king trusts you, and will never be suspicious because of others' casual sowing. I am very glad that you also know that this king trusts me. In this huge palace, I am really happy to have such a person by my side."

Xie Linxi withdrew his gaze and said: "Weichen has been with the prince for so many years, and he knows what kind of person he is. I have eyes and can see, and I have ears and can listen. What do others think and say, what do you have with me?" related."

Qi Jingyuan laughed softly because of his words, he already had a very prosperous face, such a smile, it is really easy to see the extreme.

Xie Linxi just watched so quietly, with picturesque eyes, gentle and elegant.

After a while, Qi Jingyuan stopped talking. He pursed his lips and his eyes sparkled. When he was about to say something, it happened that Jin Yi came back to his life.

The corners of Qi Jingyuan's eyes and mouth were tinged with displeasure, but business is ahead, and this Jinghua Palace is not a good place to talk, so he suppressed what he wanted to say, and raised his voice to let Jin Yi in.

Jin Yi went to Qianchen Palace and came back quickly. He thought he had done a good job, but when he heard Qi Jingyuan's tone, he knew he was angry.

Jin Yi was thinking about what he did not do well to offend this Lord, but at the same time he thought, fortunately Commander Xie is here, even if the prince is really very angry, if Commander Xie gives a word of comfort, the anger will be vented immediately .

Thinking of this, Jin Yi felt at ease again.

After entering the palace, he told Qi Jingyuan what the little emperor meant.

What the little emperor meant was that he and the queen mother were deceived by Zuo Min, and did not expect this to happen. Fortunately, Qi Jingyuan discovered it in time, so that no major mistakes were made.

In the past, the words of the little emperor would end here.What he said was just a formality, and Qi Jingyuan would consider the sentencing and deal with the rest.

But this time, the little emperor said a few more words after that.

At that time, he said this: "As a courtier, Zuo Min broke the law by breaking the law, and deliberately deceived me and my mother. This is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven. If such a wicked minister is not killed, the common people will not be outraged."

The implication is that Zuo Min must die.

When Jin Yi described these things, he was so vivid that it was easy for people to feel the angry look of the little emperor gnashing his teeth.

After listening to Qi Jingyuan, he calmly said that he knew, Jin saw that he had nothing to do, so he bowed and retreated.

After the heavy palace door was gently closed again, Qi Jingyuan's eyes shone with mockery, and he said with mocking eyes: "The fate of the abandoned son is so sad. But Zuo Min can at least leave a whole body. I'm afraid it's not as good as him."

"Why did your lord say that?" Xie Linxi's heart tightened, and he frowned and said with his narrow and handsome eyebrows.

Qi Jingyuan looked at him and hurriedly said: "Wu Shuang Mo Qi, this king is just feeling emotional for a while."

Xie Linxi frowned and said solemnly: "My lord has worked so hard for Daqi these years, and fulfilled my responsibilities to the emperor. It would be too ridiculous if he would become an abandoned son. Is there any justice in this world? I don't have much ability. But when the danger is approaching, I will definitely use my sword to protect the prince until the end..."

"Stop talking." Qi Jingyuan stepped forward and covered his mouth with his hand and reprimanded in a low voice.

Xie Linxi's unfinished words got stuck in his throat, Qi Jingyuan looked at him and lost his composure again and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't be thinking wildly. Don't worry, I have you by my side, and I will never fall into such a situation."

At the end of the sentence, it was sonorous and powerful, full of murderous intent.

Xie Linxi stretched out his hand to take Qi Jingyuan's hand, and then he said word by word: "My lord, I know that the road of the regent is not easy. But no matter what, I will accompany the lord."

"This king knows." Qi Jingyuan bent the corners of his eyes and smiled as if nothing had happened, "Besides Wushuang, there will be no one else by my side."

Xie Linxi was silent again.

When he suddenly heard such powerless and sad words, he was very angry.

After being stopped by Qi Jingyuan, he felt the desolation that permeated Qi Jingyuan's body, and the words in his heart burst out.

When everything is quiet, it will feel too abrupt.

Lowering his eyes, he realized that he was still holding Qi Jingyuan's hand. He quickly let go of his apology and said, "Forgive me, my lord, I'm rude."

"What's your disrespect?" Qi Jingyuan shook his hand tightly and said with a smile: "Before I became the regent, we had a drink together in the palace. We became the regent, you and I There is a lot of estrangement between them, and I haven't spoken a few times. The king still remembers that at that time, the king promised that if you want to start a family, the king will find the most beautiful one. You want the moon in the sky. Wang asked someone to set up a ladder for you to pick it off."

Having said that, Qi Jingyuan laughed out loud.

Xie Linxi followed his words and recalled the past, a slight smile appeared on his face.

That day the late emperor sent Qi Jingyuan a lot of pictures of beautiful women, and asked if there were any he liked.At that time, Qi Jingyuan, as the late emperor's most trusted younger brother, had an eye-catching good looks, and countless daughters of the Zanying family were staring at his backyard.

Qi Jingyuan randomly flipped over those blueprints, threw them into the fire and said, "It's all good, but I don't like it," and then sent away all the people sent by the late emperor.

Xu was depressed that night, so he took Xie Linxi to drink, and the two drank three jars.

Qi Jingyuan was a little drunk, put his arms around Xie Linxi's neck, and asked him what kind of person he likes.

Xie Linxi looked at the full moon in the sky with slightly drunken eyes and said: "I like the moon."

Then Qi Jingyuan rolled into his arms, stared at the moon in the sky with wide eyes, and murmured that promise.

Thinking of the dusty past, both of them became happy.

After so many years, Qi Jingyuan never received a picture of a beautiful girl from anyone again.The regent is different from the favored prince. The regent is risky, and the aristocratic families with a little face in the capital are not willing to push their daughters into this pit of fire.

As for Xie Linxi, who almost regarded the Prison Secretary as his home, and was privately called a man-eating evil spirit, who dares to get half of it.Even if the moon in the sky really falls in his backyard, he doesn't know it.

The smile dilutes what the two of them deliberately didn't want to mention just now.

One didn't want to say anything, the other didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.

Then Qi Jingyuan began to think about what to do with Zuo Min, while Xie Linxi waited quietly by the side.

When Xie Linxi walked out of the palace, it was still early.

He went out of the palace and went straight back to the Heavenly Prison Division.

Asked about Zuo Min, Cheng Shuai said that Zuo Min had already woken up.

After waking up, the person must have been frightened, and shrank in the cell without moving.

Xie Linxi took a look, Zuo Min was lying there motionless, his body was full of decadence.

There was no momentum at all.

After closing the window, Zuo Min trembled all over, but still buried his head on the ground without moving.

"He just woke up like this. He didn't let anyone touch him according to the command of the commander. He also told him that if he has anything to say, he can say it now." Cheng Shuai whispered as he followed Xie Linxi out, "I guess he knew he was going to die. , I am afraid that this courage is used up when trying to sow discord."

Xie Linxi glanced at him.

Cheng Shuai touched his face involuntarily and said, "Commander, is there anything on my face?"

"It's nothing." Xie Linxi withdrew his gaze and said, "The dying person, let him go."

Cheng Shuai hummed.

After leaving the dungeon, Xie Linxi asked Cheng Shuai to guard the Heavenly Prison Officer, while he went back to Xie's mansion.

This night, Uncle Zhang of Xie's house finally got his wish and asked the cook to cook a large table of delicious food for Xie Linxi's body.

The next day, in the court hall, Qi Jingyuan announced the verdict on Zuo Min.

Zuo Min was sentenced to death and asked to beheaded directly.

All his family members were exiled to the northwest to pay their respects.

At the same time, Qi Jingyuan rehabilitated Wang Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and gave some money to the Wang family. He also let Wang Yu's only son, Wang Chong, who had just turned 15, enter the Imperial College to study.

No matter what kind of decision Qi Jingyuan made in these years, it could not avoid people's discussion.

This time will be no exception.

Some people felt that the sentence against the Zuo family was too severe, and there was even an intentional element in order to suppress He Guogong's mansion and the little emperor.

Some people think that the verdict is appropriate, Zuo Min knew that he violated the law, if the Zuo family had not been involved with He Guogong's mansion, logically speaking, he should be punished in connection with it.

Qi Jingyuan didn't say a word about the quarrels and discussions among the crowd.

Then he looked at the little emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair. The little emperor glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "I think Uncle Huang's treatment is the most appropriate."

It was rare for the little emperor to open his mouth to express his point of view. Now that he opened his mouth, none of the courtiers said anything else.

There was a thought in his heart, the little emperor was being used by Zuo Min, and the little emperor might be angry.

The eyes of the courtiers shifted from Qi Jingyuan to the little emperor, each thinking about their own thoughts.

As for Wang Yu, no one mentioned it.

In the eyes of many people, a person who is dead and unable to do things is not worth mentioning.

In the following days, the weather became colder and colder, and the construction of Shenglin Tower continued.
