Chapter 197

After being silent for a while, Jing Liangtu preemptively said, "Is it Your Majesty?"

Xu Xiu was stunned for a while, then said in a daze, "You know?"

Jing Liangtu sighed.

Sure enough, it was him.

But this is also good, if Xiao Qi thinks that Shu Shen still exists in this world and has not disappeared, his doubts about Ling Shuangzhu's identity will also become smaller.

It's just that it is definitely not possible to see him.

He closed his eyes and refused: "Maybe everyone in the world thinks that he is the most honorable person in the world, and it is an honor to be by his side, but I don't want to think that way, I prefer to be aloneLive freely."

Xu Xiu didn't expect that Shu Shen would say this, he thought of His Majesty who was still fidgeting excitedly because of his news, and for a moment, he felt a little bit sorry for this man who was sitting in a high position but was alone.

However, because of His Majesty's order, he could not forcibly tie Young Master Shu back, but could only follow his will.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He could only clenched his fists, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said respectfully, "In that case, I will convey your wishes to Your Majesty."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that His Majesty told you that if you find Mr. Shu, you don't want to see him...he asked me to bring you a message."

Jing Liangtu hesitated for a moment, hesitatingly said: "...what?"

Xu Xiu: "He said that in front of you, he is not an emperor, he will just bow his head and be your Ajin."

Jing Liangtu clenched his fingers tightly, his fingertips turned white.

This Long Ao Tian.... is really loyal.

Jing Liangtu didn't know what kind of reply he should give to such words.

He admitted that for a moment he was soft-hearted and wanted to see him.

But as a villain, he can't do that.

Until the end, he could only say dryly: "In my memory, he will always be... just Ajin."

What Shu Shen said, Xu Xiu conveyed it to Xiao Qi intact.

At that time, Xiao Qi was reviewing the documents. Hearing this, the movements of his hands paused for a moment, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, blurring the handwriting, with a touch of sadness.

He slowly put down his pen, and said in a daze: "It turns out that he is not in the ends of the earth, and he knows everything I have done... It's just that he doesn't want to come to see me."

Xu Xiu was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, since you don't want him to leave, why did you redeem him for him? If you let Mr. Shu stay in that place, his whereabouts will not be so complicated and hard to find. When you meet again,Perhaps the relationship will be harmonious as before."

Xiao Qi looked out the window.

The moon perches among the deep clouds and treetops, and the floating light is hazy, as if it is readily available, but also seems out of reach.

He said lightly: "A bird in a cage cannot be locked up, so just give him a favor and set him free."

"The subordinate understands."

Seeing Xiao Qi's disappointed expression, Xu Xiu held back something in his heart, not knowing whether he should talk about it or not.

Xiao Qi felt that he was holding back something, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Xu Xiu must have made up his mind a little, and approached cautiously, as if talking about some ulterior secret, he said, "Your Majesty, when I saw Young Master Shu, he bought a book from a vendor.It’s called Chun Bamboo, and I feel quite happy. Not only that, but he also whispered something to the peddler, and his subordinates didn’t understand..."

Xiao Qi: "..."

He really watched it.

Xiao Qi didn't know what mood he was in now, he felt that he was about to be laughed at by this person.

This guy.... his love of joining in the fun still hasn't changed much.

In the past, when Shu Shen saw interesting things on the street, she liked to go to them, running wherever the excitement was, like a half-grown child, Xiao Qi, who was a little shorter than him, was much more mature than him.

That person seems to be interested in everything, storytelling in teahouses, masks sold on the street,

He always goes forward to gather gossip in the vegetable market, and sometimes holds a watermelon in his hand, or grabs a handful of melon seeds, which is especially appropriate for the occasion.

It seems that after so many years, people still haven't changed much.

I really want to be rough and arrest people and educate them.

Speaking of which, he bought "Spring Pressed Bamboo" because he also wanted to see his own jokes.

Today, the holy majesty is arranged by the people like this, and he is actually quite happy watching it.

This man is really...

It's really hard to let go.

In the past few days, Jing Liangtu stayed up late to read, his image became more like a panda, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't get up in the morning.Coupled with the fact that it’s been so cold in the twelfth lunar month recently, waking up and going to court every morning is simply torture.

This is a huge torment both mentally and physically.

But Jing Liangtu is a clever little ghost, he immediately used the tricks he used back then to deal with the early court.

So this morning, when Ling You opened the door, what he saw was a half-dead body lying on the bed, his wrist protruding from the quilt, hanging on the bed with little strength, the real person looked like it would break at the touch of a finger.

Ling You was so distressed at that time that he almost picked him up and ran towards the imperial doctor.

Fortunately, Jing Liangtu quickly stopped him, grabbed his sleeve, and said weakly: "Cousin, I just don't feel well today, today's morning..."

Ling You held his hand and said: "What time is it and you are still thinking about the early court, even if the country is destroyed, brother will block the enemy army for you alone, you just need to rest peacefully."

Jing Liangtu: "..."

Brother, there is no need, brother.

The younger brother just wants to take a break, it's not that serious.

In the early morning of that day, Xiao Qi sat on the dragon chair and was condescending, but he didn't see Ling Shuangzhu.

Ling You stood up and asked for leave for Jing Liangtu: "Your Majesty, the regent is not feeling well today and cannot come to the court ceremony as scheduled. Please forgive me."

In fact, the procedure for asking for leave in the early court is more serious and complicated, but in today's situation, Xiao Qi is just a puppet emperor on the surface, and the regent can't think of it, and it's just a simple matter.

Of course Xiao Qi didn't think that Jing Liangtu didn't come because he stayed up all night reading pornographic books, and he didn't come because of lack of sleep. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I got it."

If he doesn't come, he can still see out of sight and out of mind.

It's just that for some reason, always feel that somewhere in heart is empty, as if something is missing.

Without Ling Shuangzhu, the morning court went on normally.

Xiao Qi was extremely impatient listening to the beautiful nonsense of the ministers.

Without Ling Shuangzhu arguing with him here, he is still not used to it.

Realizing that she was still thinking of Ling Shuangzhu when he was not around, Xiao Qi almost laughed at herself.

This court meeting ended in an extremely boring way. By coincidence, before Ling You left, Xiao Qi was concerned about Ling Shuangzhu's physical condition.

Ling You said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shuangzhu is born with a cold body, and it is easy to get sick when it is cold, just rest and rest."

Xiao Qi nodded, feeling a little relieved unconsciously.

But soon, he began to despise himself again.

Dogs will care about that person.

Even though Shu Shen didn't choose to come to see him, Xiao Qi still kept his favorite things in the palace. All his favorite snacks and snacks were placed here, and there were quite a few of them.

He originally thought that Ling Shuangzhu would wander into his palace at mealtime as before, and come to tease him by the way.

However, to his surprise, this person did not show up at lunch today.

When the palace servants served him vegetables, he sneered and snorted: "It seems that he is really sick."

The palace servants were stunned for a while, not daring to ask about the love and hatred between His Majesty and the Regent, but just buried their heads a little lower and concentrated on serving dishes.

Perhaps it was muscle memory, when the palace servants served the dishes, they put the sweet and sour side dishes in the place where the regent usually sits.

Even the servants remembered that he liked to eat this.

Ling Shuangzhu's face flashed in his mind, the cold mask, delicate phoenix eyes, and the intentional or unintentional smile on the corners of his lips, all hooked him.

Xiao Qi looked deeply at the dish, and an idea kept appearing and overturning in his mind.

He felt that this person was haunted, even if he was not in front of him, he would always be haunting him, making him unable to control his thoughts.

nasty guy.

He picked up the chopsticks and tastelessly ate the delicious food in front of him.

He is not keen on food, these things are just food for his hunger in front of his eyes, nothing special from ordinary food.

I really don't know why Ling Shuangzhu eats it with relish every time.

Although he concealed it very restrained.

But it is not difficult to find that every time come here to eat...

His eyes lit up with joy.

In fact, Jing Liangtu is also a person who knows how to control himself.

Although Xiao Qi's food is delicious, it's poisonous after all, so bear with it, protect your health, and don't get lost before the mission is over.

Of course, he thought that he hid it well every time with Xiao Qi, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him.

However, the price of escaping from the early court is to be forced to drink medicine by his cousin, and to be forced by the imperial physician to sound his pulse.

Seeing the solemn look on the imperial physician's face, Jing Liangtu was afraid that his next sentence would be: "Congratulations, Prince Regent, you are lucky."

After the pulse diagnosis, the imperial physician's sad expression remained unchanged, his lips parted and then closed, considering his words.

At this time, Jing Liangtu faintly felt something was wrong.

He probably pretended to be sick to avoid the early morning...but he was diagnosed to be really sick.

No... no way.wxya

Seeing the imperial physician's face, Ling You, who was originally calm, instantly became nervous: "Emperor physician, what's the matter?"

The imperial physician hesitated for a while, but still cupped his hands and said, "The regent's pulse is unstable, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person. It feels like...poisoning."

"Poisoned?"

Jing Liangtu was nervous.

No way, he just spent a few meals at Xiao Qi's.

The agreed chronic poison won't take effect for many years?!

"Doctor, tell me quickly, what kind of poison is this, and how should I get rid of it?" Ling You seemed more anxious than him. He, who had never changed his face in front of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, was in a state of confusion at the moment, and his face was flushed red.

The imperial physician broke out in cold sweat, and finally knelt down, pleading guilty in a panic: "Forgive me for your incompetence, I really don't know how to cure this poison, but judging from this pulse, if this poison penetrates into the internal organs, it is no small matter, forgive meThe next official said bluntly...the regent may only have one year to live."

Ling You's face turned pale for a moment, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Jing Liangtu: "..."

Who knows?

At first, he was just too lazy to go to morning court 😀

Xiao Qi is sitting in the hall playing chess with himself.

The palace servants who stayed on the sidelines couldn't help complaining in their hearts: How boring is this, Your Majesty?

In the past, when the regent was here, he would never have the time to do these things. Even if the two of them were showing off openly... oh no, fighting with each other for an afternoon, looking at each other for a whole day, the days can be considered livelyIn the past, how can there be such a deserted time.

Although this metaphor is not appropriate, but His Majesty is sitting here alone playing chess, and no one cares about it, it really looks like...

Widow!!!

Fortunately, Xiao Qi didn't know what the palace servants around him were thinking. If he knew, he might uncontrollably wash the whole palace with blood.

After playing a game of chess for a long time, there was no winner or loser. From the blue veins on Xiao Qi's forehead, it can be judged that this person is already very impatient.

At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Regent invites you to have a brief talk in the court."

The sunspot that Xiao Qi had been hesitating for a long time finally landed on the chessboard.

"Hmph, it seems that he recovered from his illness, and he's coming to me again to cause trouble."

palace people

Looking at each other, always feel that His Majesty is a little duplicity.

Xiao Qi stood up slowly, no longer cared about the endgame on the chess table, straightened his sleeves, and walked out with a breezy face.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the blood-red dusk was slowly swallowed by the lacquer night. The pool water in the courtyard was stained with a lonely color, and goldfish could be seen playing and swimming by under the rippling water from time to time.

The pond here is not frozen. If you are lucky, you can occasionally see a few fish playing here.

However, the person who invited him has not yet arrived.

In this court, he is the only one who dares to make himself wait like this.

Xiao Qi sneered, staring at the fish swimming in the pool.

At first it was just one fish, but then another fish came from nowhere, the two fish were entwined, inseparable, they couldn't speak, but Xiao Qi saw a bit of joy.

I don't know why, but feel a little envious.

Gradually, he got a little impatient waiting, and was about to abandon him and turn around to leave, when a pair of hands suddenly covered his mouth and nose, and an unknown smell came up, and he immediately held his breath vigilantly.

But the incident happened quickly, he still inhaled some more or less, and his body gradually lost strength.

Not good!

The person behind him sneered, withdrew his hand, and pushed him into the pool.

Water splashes.

Xiao Qi knows water.

But the villain was vicious and paralyzed his body before pushing him into the water.

This is to kill him!

The light floating on the water gradually dimmed.

It seems that nothing can be heard.

He is not reconciled.

He hasn't seen Shu Shen yet.

He hasn't told the man yet that he loves him.

His body sank slowly, and he stretched out his hand towards the water surface, the blood in his body boiled at this moment, and he never gave in.

He exerted all his inhuman willpower and desperately seized his life.

At this moment, a person suddenly jumped into the water.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water is as cold as ice.

Under the water, the man's mask slowly peeled off from his face, revealing a face that made his heart tremble.

The phoenix eyes are stunning, longing for fleeting years.

With hands clasped, memories flooded back.

Just like that person in the past, regardless of previous suspicions, with a smile in his eyes, he stretched out his arms and gave him a glimmer of life in the homeless.

Just that thread, he wrapped it around his fingertips, holding it reluctantly for many years.
