Chapter 192

Jing Liangtu stopped in place, his heart beating like thunder.

He is testing himself.

Could it be that he has noticed some clues?

No, it's impossible.

Jing Liangtu quickly calmed down.

He can't mess with himself.

Over the years, many people have actually rumored that he and Na Shushen are the same person.

Although the rumors he made were true, Jing Liangtu knew that not many people believed them, and most of them still wanted to see his jokes.

They wanted to laugh at him, but he refused to let them do so.

Just ignore it, don't make a statement, until he slowly gains recognition and slowly ascends to a high position, these unsubstantiated remarks gradually disappear.

At least, no one dared to mention it in front of him.

Jing Liangtu said calmly: "Your Majesty asked this, but did you hear any unfounded rumors?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer, but his eyes were scrutinized, as if he was observing every detail of his expression, to judge whether he was guilty of lying.

Fortunately, Jing Liangtu didn't reveal the slightest flaw, he met Xiao Qi's gaze generously, his eyes were calm, and he could even beat him up: "Your Majesty doesn't believe his subjects, but chooses to believe those rumors, it will be easy to be coldThe heart of the world, isn't it?"

Xiao Qi frowned slightly.

Ling Shuangzhu's calmness was beyond his expectation.

Perhaps, it is really just groundless rumors.

On that day, he also clearly saw that Ling You, who came to An Xiangzhai to look for his younger brother, returned disappointed.

In fact, he can feel more at ease this way.

If you weren't him, I could deal with you without distraction.

.....

After Jing Liangtu came out of Xiao Qi's palace, he didn't go back to the mansion immediately, but went to the Empress Dowager's palace instead.

Over the years, he has also learned how to make false promises to the Queen Mother.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager was drinking Sydney stewed with rock sugar made in the kitchen, with her hands on the hand warmer, she looked peaceful and leisurely, and she knew how to enjoy life.

Jing Liangtu walked over and bowed in a dignified manner: "Meet the Queen Mother."

Seeing that it was him, the Empress Dowager put down the soup bowl in her hand, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "How is it?"

Jing Liangtu understood that she was asking about His Majesty.

After Jing Liangtu returned to the mansion, he didn't do anything, but often went to the Queen Mother to show his presence.

The queen mother needs a suitable helper to help her restrain the emperor's power, so she pays special attention to the training of the Ling family brothers.

Ling Shuangzhu, who came from behind, was quickly seen by him.

Ling Hongye has been doted on since he was a child, he has been spoiled, and at the same time he has no talents. After marrying the princess, he has an affair. Not to mention causing a catastrophe, he even ruined himself.

In this way, he completely lost the attention of the queen mother.

But soon, the Queen Mother discovered that the Ling family still had Ling Shuangzhu, who was a good seedling.

He seems to have been neglected since he was a child because of his birth.

Perhaps it was for this reason that even if he received a little praise from his father and the queen mother, he would be overjoyed. Since then, he has devoted himself to their orders and never changed.

The queen mother likes such a well-behaved chess piece very much.

It is precisely because of these reasons that she has been cultivating him with all her heart these years for her own use.

Now, Xiao Qi succeeded to the throne. Although this person has behaved a lot over the years, lost a lot of blood, and has become a soft bone that can be controlled by her, she still can't help being afraid.

However, with Ling Shuangzhu watching over him, he could rest assured.

It is naturally impossible for Jing Liangtu to say anything unfavorable to Xiao Qi.

He said contemptuously: "As the queen mother expected, it's just a waste."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her smile deepened, and the wrinkles on her face were pulled out a lot.

She enjoined: "Over the years, my people have been poisoning his meals, and the poison will slowly invade his internal organs. I remember that he was rebellious in his early years, and now only one body remains.

I'm sick."

Jing Liangtu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but his expression did not change. He said respectfully, "The Queen Mother is wise."

The queen mother pointed to the chair beside her and said, "Sit first, don't stand."

Jing Liangtu said, lifted his robe and sat on the chair, his movements were elegant.

At this time, the Queen Mother warned: "Although I can't find any flowers, the old minions left by Xiao Qi's biological mother's ancestors are still missing. Maybe they have long since disappeared, or maybe they are still dormant somewhere.You must not be complacent."

Jing Liangtu nodded in agreement.

It's just that in heart, was still secretly worried about whether Xiao Qi would be poisoned.

Just as when the doctor checked his pulse back then, Xiao Qi mistakenly believed that Shu Shen was not faking an illness but a real illness, now Jing Liangtu couldn't help but start worrying about Xiao Qi's life and health.

It really is a good reincarnation.

But the system said: "Don't worry, Xiao Qi has a medical master under his command, and his best thing is to turn poison into a complete tonic."

Jing Liangtu: "..."

What kind of medical miracle is this?

The system froze suddenly, and said solemnly: "No, wait a minute, I just found out that the medicine of the holy hand has a major side effect."

Jing Liangtu then became nervous: "What... what? Lethal? Fatal? Does it matter?"

System: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

He said slowly: "I have detected that this medicine...it strengthens yang."

Jing Liangtu: "."

What kind of side effect is this?!!

The queen mother continued to tell Jing Liangtu what to pay attention to next.

After the confession, he did not forget to praise this good and sensible employee: "I am very optimistic about you. You are much better than your useless brother who died early. It was his loss that your father didn't value you before."

After being praised, Jing Liangtu showed a happy look, as sweet as if he got a candied date.

It's just that this is nothing more than pretending to be a snake.

Since the Empress Dowager thought that he was a person who lacked love since he was a child, and would be elated if he got a little reward, and would be willing to sacrifice his life....

He just plays it.

.....

After returning home, Jing Liangtu opened up the records of bureaucratic changes over the years.

He found that over the years, in some important positions, a group of people have actually changed.

These people start from the grassroots, very inconspicuous, no one will feel that they are any threat.

But from a certain point onwards, the dirty things done by officials will always be exposed, and the lower class will take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the benefits of the Queen Mother and become the new Queen Mother Party.

The former group of people became outcasts.

However, it is difficult to discuss whether these people who climbed up from the grassroots sincerely became members of the Queen Mother's Party.

A guess slowly came to mind.

Maybe those old ministries didn't disappear, but just like these grassroots officials, they hibernated at the bottom of each ministries, waiting for an opportunity to slowly erode the power of the Queen Mother's party and steal the post.

Over the years, Xiao Qi has been pretending to be a sick and weak waste, but if you think about it carefully, he is hiding his strength.

He no longer expresses his dissatisfaction straightforwardly like a stunned young man like before.

He will compromise first, and then kill.

Jing Liangtu showed a gratified smile.

"Has anyone come to me with a waist card?"

"Return to Your Majesty, no."

In the sleeping hall, the candles were crackling, Xiao Qi's face was half buried in the darkness, with an imperceptible sadness on his expression.

Over the years, he has never given up on finding Shu Shen's whereabouts.

But since he helped that person redeem himself, he could never find his whereabouts again.

Xiao Qi missed him so much that he went crazy.

Shu Shen was the one who helped him when he was most desperate.

At the same time, he was also a person who had a profound influence on him.

Obviously in a brothel, but it can still be used

Skills to protect yourself.

He is not in good health and is afraid of taking medicine, but he has never been afraid of major issues, as if there is nothing that can stump him.

It was under his influence that Xiao Qi also learned to bow his head, pretend to be stupid, and hibernate in the breathless deep palace.

Then, patiently develop the strength to fight back.

It's just that even though he has come to this point, there is still no news from the person he misses.

On the contrary, there was a person who looked similar to him, who kept darting in front of his eyes.

It's so unpredictable.

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth secretly, when he thought that today he actually wanted to throw away the things that Shu Shen gave him, an unknown evil fire roiled in his heart.

I really want to annoy him.

At this time, his subordinate Wang Qing said: "However, when I went out this time, I heard some rumors that the current regent seems to be somewhat similar to the person His Majesty is looking for."

Xiao Qi pressed the center of his eyebrows and said: "I also know these things, but I have tested them, and they should not be the same person."

Wang Qing was stunned: "Why is Your Majesty so determined?"

Xiao Qi was straightforward: "Shu Shen won't be so annoying."

Wang Qing: "..."

It seems that His Majesty is really annoyed by this regent.

However, when it came to this, Wang Qing mentioned a sentence: "However, this subordinate went out this time and found an interesting item."

Xiao Qi was not interested in matters that had nothing to do with Shu Shen, but he still asked with his forehead: "What is it?"

Wang Qing mysteriously took out a book.

Xiao Qi took it, flipped through it casually, and seemed to catch a glimpse of some words by accident, he was in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and closed the book abruptly after he read it clearly.

It must be the wrong way for him to open it!

What this book is about is nothing else but the romantic affairs of the regent Ling Shuangzhu that outsiders fancied.

Because Ling Shuangzhu is similar in appearance to a brothel prostitute.

Although the two have completely different temperaments, personalities, family backgrounds and identities, since they are equally beautiful, this layer of noble status adds a bit of excitement.

In the eyes of the world, a prostitute who is willing to be humiliated by others may be nothing special.

But if this person suddenly transformed into a noble, glamorous, hard-to-approach His Royal Highness the Regent, it would make people blush instantly and feel evil in their hearts.

Especially those who have seen Ling Shuangzhu's true face.

The appearance that makes people full of praise, coupled with the identity that makes people unable to imagine.

This unsettled desire can only be resolved by borrowing such dirty books from the people.

Recalling the plot in the book, Xiao Qi's throat rolled.

I have to say that the person who wrote this book is really amazing.

Not only can he tease people's desires with a few words, he even skillfully draws Ling Shuangzhu's face in the book.

The bright moon is as cold as ice.

Eye-catching.

Seeing this very insulting book with little harm, the fire in Xiao Qi's heart was mostly poured out.

He couldn't help but be curious about Ling Shuangzhu's expression after reading this book.

It must be very interesting.

Seeing Xiao Qi's sinister face, Wang Qing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and silently lit a piece of wax for the regent in his heart.
