Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Chapter 32

Shen Lexin was holding Xiao Mantou with one hand, while the other was stuck around his neck, confronting the crowd in front of him. All the guards had their swords out of their sheaths, but because of Xiao Mantou, there was no order from Ling Qiyou. At this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly, Ling Qiyou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were freezing cold: "Let him go."

Shen Lexin sneered: "If I let him go, will you let me go?"

"I said, let him go."

Jumping out word by word, Ling Qiyou's voice could be heard to be full of anger, but Shen Lexin turned a deaf ear to it, and made his own condition: "Open the palace gate, I'm leaving here now."

"Lexin, you let him go."

This time it was Ling Jing who spoke, he took two steps forward, but was stopped by Shen Lexin loudly: "Stop! Don't come over!"

"Give me the child, don't be impulsive," Ling Jing reassured him in as calm a tone as possible: "We have something to discuss."

"Discussion?" Shen Lexin sneered at these words: "All of you surnamed Ling are dishonest, selfish animals. What can I discuss with you?"

He sneered again as he spoke, the smile on his face was almost distorted: "What is a child, don't you do enough to kill your father and son? Stop pretending here!"

This sounds a little weird, but at this moment no one has the time to think deeply, Xiao Chuqian also opened his mouth and said: "Since you said that children are nothing, what's the use of threatening His Majesty with him? You Counting on such a milk doll to escape from the imperial palace's net, it's just a dream!"

"You don't have to provoke me," Shen Lexin said disdainfully, but her eyes were fixed on Ling Qiyou in front of her: "Even if I die, it's not a loss if I have Prince Dasheng to be buried with me."

"Shen Lexin!" Ling Jing suddenly raised her voice, with a bit of anger in her words: "What I told you before was not just casually! If you really dare to attack the prince, I will be the first to let you go you!"

Shen Lexin diverted some of his peripheral vision to look at him, a little disapproving of his words: "Even if I let him go, you won't let me let Nanguo go, what else do I have to be afraid of?"

"Go and open the palace door."

Ling Qiyou suddenly opened his mouth and told the guards beside him: "Go and open the palace gate and let him go."

"His Majesty……"

Xu Chongqing at the side wanted to persuade him, but Ling Qiyou gave him a cold look and said, "That is my prince and your grandson."

One sentence made Xu Chongqing shut up.

Earlier, when Ling Qiyou was interrogating Lin Tan, the banquet in front of the Zhaode Palace had already ended. Shen Lexin quickly walked through the messy table and retreated outside with the little steamed bun in her arms. Everyone kept a close distance. Followed him, but no one dared to do anything, the child was in his hands, no one dared to take this risk.

It wasn't until he left the palace gate that Ling Qiyou spoke again: "Let go of the child."

Shen Lexin sneered, if I let it go now, he would become the soul of these guards under the sword, I saw him holding the little steamed bun tightly, before everyone recovered, he turned around and jumped onto the bungalow beside him On top of the eaves, it just stepped on layers of eaves and quickly disappeared into the black mist.

The skill of flying over the eaves and walls of the southerners can be regarded as seeing is better than seeing once. By the time someone reacts and wants to chase them, there is no one there, and there is no way to chase them.

Xu Chongqing was furious, and shouted to order people to take King Xuan down. This time, Ling Qiyou did not stop him, and ordered in a cold voice: "King Xuan colluded with the enemy and treason, colluded with the enemy and bandits to rob the prince, and temporarily detained him in the dungeon of the palace. At noon tomorrow, outside the Meridian Gate beheaded."

Ling Jing closed her eyes full of disappointment, did not resist, and let the guards tie her up and take her down.

Afterwards, Ling Qiyou ordered to go down and seal all the gates of the city, ordered people to lead soldiers and horses to search from house to house, and posted notices of King Xuan's beheading all over the streets and alleys of the capital. It is impossible to tell how much weight Ling Jing has in Shen Lexin's heart.

Xu Chongqing reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, after the death of King Luo, King Xuan had already sent his son out of the city, and handed it over to the five hundred soldiers and horses he left outside the city..."

"You take the soldiers and horses from the Jiangbei military camp, surround his men, and make sure to take down Prince Xuan."

At this point, even if he had to fight Ling Jing to the death, he couldn't care less about it.

After explaining the matter, Ling Qiyou turned around and went back, Xiao Chuqian followed outside the Zhaode Hall, hesitated for a moment, but did not go in, knowing that Ling Qiyou would not be happy to see him at this time, after thinking about it, he turned and went to imprison Ling Jing's dungeon is also where he stayed for ten months.

Seeing that he was the eunuch next to Ling Qiyou, the guards searched him and let him in.

Walking down step by step, Ling Jing sat down on the dark and damp ground with her head lowered against the wall, her whole body was already numb, and she didn't react much to the sound of footsteps.

"You clearly know his identity, why did you bring him to Beijing?" Xiao Chuqian stood still in front of Ling Jing, frowned and asked him: "Or, you also want to..."

"No," Ling Jing blurted out and interrupted him: "No, I never had the slightest thought about that position."

"...Then why?"

Ling Jing shook her head and smiled wryly: "He was a defeated general in Nanman, and he is already dead. He can't go back at all. He has been with me for so many years, and I have always been sincere to him. He has obviously given up... "

"Give up?" Xiao Chuqian was speechless: "Do you believe him when he says give up?"

"Two years ago, he had the opportunity to leave me. I have agreed to let him go. He chose to stay."

And he was willing to give birth to him. If it is said that he was the one who forced him all those years ago, but since they really connected with each other two years ago, especially after they got pregnant later, Shen Lexin has almost forgotten that he is a Southern barbarian. Because of his identity, he had the courage to bring him to Beijing together, but he never imagined that once he arrived in Beijing, he would change again, provoking the emperor again and again, poisoning and murdering, and even this time, he clearly He has robbed the crown prince before he died, Ling Jing couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought, he believed that what Shen Lexin said to him before was not a lie to him, but how did things turn out like this?

"Do you think that he is not so much trying to stir up strife and civil strife in my court, but more like targeting Qi You, rather than his status as emperor?" Xiao Chuqian said hesitantly. In fact, he couldn't be sure, except for seven years. Having fought against him on the battlefield before, he really doesn't know much about Shen Lexin.

Ling Jing closed his eyes again, Xiao Chuqian didn't need to say, he actually noticed it early in the morning, but every time he asked Shen Lexin, what he got was perfunctory words, but if Shen Lexin had a personal grudge with Ling Qiyou, how could it be possible ?

"If Qi You kills you, do you think he will come to save you?"

Ling Jing couldn't tell. Now, he really didn't have the confidence, and finally smiled bitterly again: "I have always been worried that his identity would be exposed. Aren't you also afraid that I will threaten the status of the emperor, and you have been using his identity Give me a warning and threaten me, there is no need now..."

"..." Facing Ling Jing like this, Xiao Chuqian really didn't know what to say.

******

When Xiao Chuqian returned to Zhaode Hall, the main hall was still brightly lit. Ling Qiyou sat in front of the imperial case and wrote vigorously. After writing a piece of paper, he threw the paper into the brazier beside him, his lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were warm nothing.

Xiao Chuqian sighed lightly, and went up to read what he wrote, it was just some meaningless madness, it was just to vent.

"Qi..."

"where have you been?"

Ling Qiyou finally stopped writing, and looked up at him coldly: "You knew King Xuan and that Nanman spies before, didn't you?"

Although it was a question sentence, what he said was very firm.

Xiao Chuqian lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and nodded.

There was a 'snap', the sound of the pen holder being broken into two pieces, Ling Qiyou was so angry that he almost trembled: "Hello...well...you join forces with them to deceive me...my crown prince was taken away Are you happy?!"

"Of course not!" Xiao Chuqian was very astonished, he never expected that Ling Qiyou would think that he would be happy because the little mantou was robbed, but in fact he is also very anxious now, afraid that the lunatic Shen Lexin would really attack the little mantou: "it's not like that……"

"What kind of thing is that?! You said it!" Ling Qiyou slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and the teacup beside him was shaken to the ground and shattered, and all the tea splashed on the hem of his clothes.

The people outside wanted to come in to clean up, so they opened the door to see Ling Qiyou's furious appearance inside, then shrank back in fright, and closed the door.

"King Xuan and I have known each other since we were very young. In Jiangdong, His Majesty should send someone to investigate my background." Xiao Chuqian said with a helpless smile: "After my mother died, I became a beggar. A group of vagrants around the same age made a living by picking up trash and stealing things. I became their leader because of my fierce fighting. Later, King Xuan sent him to Jiangdong to become king. The food was caught by his housekeeper. He was supposed to beat me to death, but he let me go and gave us food. Later, I stole him a few times. I became familiar with him after going back and forth. friends."

Ling Qiyou listened calmly, Xiao Chuqian saw that he didn't react too much, so he continued: "A beggar and a prince can be friends, and no one would believe it, but King Xuan is very righteous. The little beggar also helped him play tricks on those officials who didn’t look down on him because of his young age, so he left us to work for him in the palace until my family took me to Beijing. Your Majesty didn't find out about my relationship with him, maybe he erased that paragraph on purpose, so the officials sent by His Majesty didn't find out."

"What about Shen Lexin?"

"I was released to lead troops in southern Xinjiang when I was 16 years old, because the first emperor intended to be promoted quickly. Four years later, after the old general who was originally leading the army was transferred back to Beijing due to injury, I became a general. The battle of Pingcheng, Shen Lexin was the leading major general of the Nanman Kingdom. At that time, he was only 15 years old, but he performed very well on the battlefield. The deployment of troops was often unexpected. He always wore a mask and kissed the front line every time he went to battle. He was called It's a ghost-faced Rakshasa, but because we have a large number of people, Nanman was defeated in the end, and he was also captured by me. It was the first time I saw his appearance. To be honest, I really didn't expect such a strong person on the battlefield. It will be a young man who looks more beautiful and weak than a woman..."

Xiao Chuqian said that seeing the displeasure in Ling Qiyou's eyes, he immediately came to his senses that he seemed to have said something wrong. He was more beautiful and weak than a woman. He also described Ling Qiyou in this way, and this was obviously the last thing he disliked. Sure enough, Ling Qiyou immediately mocked the words he was willing to hear: "So you moved him with compassion and let him go?"

I have an impression of Ling Qiyou in the battle that year. Although he was pampered in the deep palace, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about foreign affairs. He has also heard about affairs in the court. In the military intelligence article posted by Xiao Chuqian, he was not mentioned at all. It is not about capturing the leader of the enemy army, but saying that he has died under the arrows.

Xiao Chuqian said helplessly: "It's not me who is moved with compassion, but King Xuan."

"How did he go to the frontier?"

"His fiefdom used to be Luowang's Lingbei, and after crossing the Chongshan Mountains, it was Southern Xinjiang. He disguised himself and brought hundreds of people to Nanjiang to find me in private. He said he wanted to go to the battlefield to see me, but I didn't either. To drive him away, I had to let him pretend to be my military adviser and stay in the army. Later, I was almost killed by a surprise attack by the southern barbarians on the battlefield. He even risked his life to save me once. He fell in love with Shen Lexin at first sight and insisted on staying He, I can only return his favor."

"So you conceal it for him, and let him take him away even if you know it's a spy from the Southern Man Kingdom?"

Listening to the coldness in Ling Qiyou's voice, knowing that he still doesn't believe him, Xiao Chuqian is also very helpless, he has indeed explained everything that should be explained: "Not only the court, but even the southern barbarians thought that Shen Lexin died on the battlefield, In fact, he is equivalent to a dead person, I thought it would be fine even if King Xuan took him away..."

"But it's because you kept him! He has kidnapped my prince now!" Ling Qiyou raised his voice and stared at him fiercely, the anger in his eyes was completely undisguised.

"It's my fault," Xiao Chuqian said, "But this matter..."

"In short, you heard me clearly, if something happens to my prince, you, Ling Jing, Shen Lexin, none of you will live!"
