What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 23: Chapter 23

"Mr. Xiao? Didn't the master already say that he is good-looking?"

Shui Jing checked to see if there was any messy hair and there were no outsiders around. She also liked the atmosphere where Wei Huai'en could gossip like a younger sister.

"Yeah, I always thought he was good-looking, but why do I think he looks better recently? It's just..."

Wei Huaien put his arms around Shui Jing's waist and arched her body, thinking for a while before continuing:
"I just think he looks good everywhere."

"Director Xiao is already one of the best in appearance among the servants, not to mention that he went to the Xuan Yu Division to practice before, and Shui Jing also thinks that he is no worse than those imperial guards."

"The Royal Army?"

Wei Huai'en wrinkled his nose.

"Those people are worthy to compare with my Xiao Qi. If you see them, you will get angry. Sister Shui Jing, don't mention them."

"Okay, don't mention it."

Shui Jing smiled and rolled her eyes, coaxing Wei Huai'en to act like a baby, which is rare after growing up.

"Sister Shuijing, tell me about those things."

Wei Huai'en's words were endless, but Shui Jing's expression froze, and he immediately understood.

Wei Huai'en once forbade all of them to mention the matter of Duan Wang's lineage in front of her, but only read the news from Chao Zhongming's face, and did not listen to the news detected by Xiao Qi and other dark sources, but he did not let them stop.

Now she took the initiative to ask, could it be...

Shui Jing stopped thinking, cleared his throat and started from the beginning.

"After the Marquis of Dingyuan was put to death, he was convicted of forming a party and corrupting ink.

Today, Duan Wang's faction was severely beaten, and those who had close contacts with Marquis Dingyuan were either demoted or fined.

King Duan was suspended from his errand in the Ministry of Rites, and he was not allowed to go to the court to observe politics, and he has not turned over until now.

But those few families who were implicated were not people who could get into the eyes of the master, except Yushi Zhongcheng and Meng's family. "

"Meng Family?"

Hearing the familiar name and surname, Wei Huai'en sat up straight and motioned for her to elaborate.

"Yes, Meng Yushi has never been nice to either party in the past, but he never thought that he would discuss marriage with Marquis Ding Yuan and his own daughter in private.

Director Xiao had a dark thread in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion before, and it was Li Kong, the male favorite.After the death of Marquis Dingyuan, he joined the Xuan Yu Division, revealing a lot of good things that Marquis Dingyuan had done before.

Not only Meng Yushi, but his only son has been using his banner to commit crimes in the capital for many years. He even forced to death several girls from good families. In addition, he colluded with Dingyuan Hou, and today he completely sent his family to exile. . "

Wei Huai'en remembered what Xiao Qi had said about Li Kong's love for Miss Meng's family, and asked:
"Where do you go in exile?"

"Nanlin Mansion."

"What? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Director Xiao also said that Li Kong has some skills and dares to interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Forget it, go ahead."

Shui Jing considered the words carefully, and continued to speak carefully:

"His Royal Highness... is raised in the palace. Yu Taifu and the others have never known the truth, and occasionally sent letters to the palace. The people from Xuanyu Division got the instructions from above and sent all the letters here... Master, do you want to see it?"

"Ha, sure enough, sure enough. How could my good father forget me."

Wei Huai'en's conjecture was confirmed by Shui Jing, and he lay back on the couch with a wry smile.

"Light the lamp, burn all those letters, don't leave one."

Shui Jing didn't know that those words made her sad, so she had to ask Qiong'er to come in and light up the lampstand together.Wei Huaien asked them to bring her all the residence newspapers during this period, and then let them all back out.

Qiong'er came out after Shui Jing, and asked puzzledly:
"Sister, isn't the master unwilling to read those? Why do you suddenly want to read them today?"

Shui Jing sighed, looked up and saw Xiao Qi coming from a distance with a tray from the kitchen path.She turned to Qionger and said:

"No matter what the master wants to do, we just need to obey. Our master is different from anyone else."

Qiong'er nodded, followed Shui Jing to salute Xiao Qi, watched Xiao Qi's back as he hurried into the small courtyard, and said something more:

"Could Director Xiao really be able to serve the master well without our help? The master used to need at least three people around him as errands."

"Hush. Don't talk too much about the master's business."

Shui Jing gave her a hand, causing her to turn back her curious eyes.

Just an eunuch, it is his credit to be able to please the master at this time.When the master doesn't like it anymore, just kill him.

Xiao Qi arranged the prepared dishes on the table one by one, put down the tray and walked to the side of the couch, half-kneeled on the ground, picked up the embroidered shoes kicked off by Wei Huai'en, held them in his palm and asked:
"Master, it's time to eat. The slave will put on your shoes for you?"

He didn't know what the answer he was expecting was.He wanted to touch her bare feet with his shoes on, but he didn't want to give up the possibility of carrying her to the table.

So what will Wei Huaien choose?Xiao Qi felt the smell of himself, he had already changed his clothes, so there would be no smell of smoke from the small kitchen, so...

These thoughts just made his clear eyes lose focus for a moment, but the unintentional actions fell into the eyes of those who cared, but there was nowhere to hide.

Wei Huai'en shook his ankle on purpose, and he saw his eyes move with her movements, what else did he not understand?

The embroidered shoes in his hand were kicked to the ground by her feet, and Wei Huai'en sat on the edge of the couch and stepped on his palm.

His thin calluses made her itch, and she lifted it subconsciously, but Xiao Qi quickly grasped her tenderness, and then flattened his palm after realizing that it was inappropriate, and raised his head in bewilderment when he heard her laughter.

"Xiao Qi, why are you touching my shoes, your hands are dirty, how can you hug me?"

Although she said so, her foot slipped in his palm.

Xiao Qi's cheeks were hot, and he didn't dare to look at her anymore. After she retracted her feet, she immediately got up and washed her hands carefully before returning.Wei Huai'en opened his arms to him, and he obediently carried him to the chair by the table.

Seeing that she no longer pestered him, Xiao Qi stood aside, slightly disappointed.But when he discovered this emotion in himself, he was shocked, because the greed that should not have appeared in him made him feel scared and helpless.

It was in this isolated imperial temple outside the city that the right time, place and people were stolen, and this kind of greed was born because of the time spent with Wei Huai'en day and night.

It was Wei Huai'en's elusive indecision that made him sink in the mud and couldn't get away.

There is not much intimacy every day, but it makes him more and more unsatisfied and unable to stop.

The lack of human heart is not just because of asking too much, but because after getting the beauty beyond imagination, I can no longer let myself go back to the days when I could be happy for a long time just by getting a look.

He wanted to be close to her, he wanted to hug her, he wanted to go back to that thunderstorm night that shattered his diaphragm, and agree to her request to embrace her and fall asleep.

He wanted to shatter all the self-restraint he had before, and after throwing his former self on the ground and punching and kicking him, he pinched his neck and forced himself to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart:
"I, Xiao Qi, have always loved Wei Huai'en.

I want her, no matter what humble existence I am, I only want her. "

If he envisioned the possibility that Wei Huai'en would stay in this monastery in Huang'en Temple forever and never return to Beijing, then he could make the two of them only in this small courtyard forever.

They could last forever, and he longed for the possibility.

As long as he is given time, as long as she never sees anyone else, as long as she stays in this small world, he is confident that she will not need anyone.

In the past, he was envious of her vast world, and he tried his best to get out of the palace wall, and struggled in the Xuan Yu Division, just to become her most powerful arm.

But how could he forget that she is the pride of heaven, whether she is a prince or a princess, she will never be someone he can stand side by side with, she stands on a peak that he can't climb, and she can only look up to her for the rest of her life.

So... If you want her to only have him in her eyes, why not lock her into her own world, break her wings, block her vision, make her depend on him, and never leave him?
Isn't that how Li Kong shut Miss Meng San into his house?

When he was going down the mountain, he saw the thin golden chain on Miss Meng San's ankle, which was specially made by Li Kong to smooth her sharpness.

Although he despised Li Kong's actions, he couldn't help but imagine how it would be if Miss Meng San's stubborn and unwilling expression appeared on Wei Huai'en's face.

That kind of possibility, even if it was just an idea, made him tremble all over. If he was in his own room, he might not be able to control his excitement. He would have to bite his wrist to keep himself in check every time he warned himself to keep a distance from Wei Huai'en. calm.

But now, he approached Wei Huai'en calmly, squinted his eyes behind her invisible back and greedily sniffed her fragrance.

It was still the spice specially prepared by him, and she finally got used to it, so that even if he closed his eyes, he could still confirm her direction by smell.

"Is there no sweet-scented osmanthus honey in the red bean paste?"

Wei Huai'en took a sip and felt that the taste was different from before, so he put down the spoon and turned his head to look for him.

Xiao Qi quickly restrained his expression, and replied in a gentle voice:

"Yes, the servant replaced the sweet-scented osmanthus honey with tangerine peel."

The reason is self-evident. If she said she didn't like it, he wouldn't do it again, and it even tasted better than before.

It's hard for Wei Huai'en not to regard Xiao Qi as the most special one. He is like an exquisite container that belongs only to her. No matter her good or her bad, he stores them all, and remembers every one of her firmly.

He never judges her, he just remakes himself according to her liking.

Having him around always made her feel at ease and at ease.

She didn't eat much, and Xiao Qi brought small and delicate dishes. After a few more mouthfuls, Wei Huai'en put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth.

"Xiao Qi, can Li Kong still be used?"

Xiao Qi's mind trembled slightly, Wei Huai'en's expression was indifferent and distant now, just like every time he was given an order before.

If he had known earlier, he should have asked Shui Jing a few more words. Looking at the situation, Wei Huai'en's days of sitting on the sidelines are coming to an end.

"Back to the master, the slave thinks that small things are fine, but the rest...is not credible."

"Is it just money?"

"……Yes."

"Did he take over Yan Weiguang's influence in Nanlin Mansion, and has already joined King Duan's command?"

"How does the master know?"

Xiao Qi and her looked at each other, half kneeling on the ground, he explained everything he knew about Duan Wang's whereabouts one by one.

It was not far from what Wei Huai'en had guessed. Although Li Kong was far inferior to Yan Weiguang, the power of the Nanlin Mansion still obeyed him, and the connection between King Duan and Nanlin was changed from the open to the dark, making it harder to handle him than before.

It's not surprising that Li Kong made such a choice. After the surprise that day, Wei Huai'en left the capital in a hurry, and even Xiao Qi was no longer the deputy commander of Xuan Yu Division.

Even if Xiao Qi gave him good citizenship and let him join the Xuan Yu Division as an old man from Huweiying, it would not compare to Duan Wang's real exchange of benefits.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the prince is weak, fearing that the sky will never leave the year, and the only prince who is of the right age is Duanwang.

Moreover, I heard that Princess Duan is pregnant, but it has not been announced yet.

In addition to the prosperous future in front of him, there is also Li Kong's own delusion about Meng Keshu.

He took her into captivity the day the Meng family entered Nanlin Mansion, and there was no one alive in the entire Meng family except her.

Such a big deal, because Xiao Qichang didn't know about it in Huang'en Temple at the first time, it also made it impossible for Li Kong to betray from King Duan.

Because he wanted to hide this from Meng Keshu, and exchanged the safety of his family for her to live obediently in his house, and could not seek death.

And because of him, Duan Wang was able to intervene in Xuan Yusi's affairs.

Wei Huai'en sighed after hearing this, what Xiao Qi said was almost in line with what she guessed.

No matter how Xuan Yu Division is controlled by the emperor, it will inevitably be mixed with various forces, and it is the same in any yamen. She does not feel sorry for her own efforts to make wedding clothes for others.

However, the meaning of Emperor Yonghe is very obvious. He will not make King Duan the crown prince, because the "prince" will always be raised in the palace to raise the third son of the emperor Wei Huaike until he is ten years old. die.

Before that, Emperor Yonghe asked her to take the role of suppressing King Duan to atone for his country's stability.

In the past, this road was the road to power that she desperately wanted to embark on, but now she has to follow the arrangement of Emperor Yonghe.

Perhaps Wei Huai'en should be grateful to Dade, and to Emperor Yonghe for allowing her to continue to intervene in the court for not pursuing the case.

But she spent so long, locked herself in the Huang'en Temple and never left home, and she still couldn't calmly accept her biological father's plan of treating her children as chess pieces.

She also felt that Emperor Yonghe was hypocritical, obviously her elder brother died tragically in the conspiracy of King Duan's lineage, and she had always wanted to bring down King Duan so that he would never stand up again.

But Emperor Yonghe always wanted her to restrain herself, because he didn't want to see the flesh and blood fight each other.

But is Emperor Yonghe himself clean?Who didn't step on his brother's corpse from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood to the throne?Why is this kind of person hypocritically benevolent and still teaching them benevolence and friendliness?
After knowing that Marquis Dingyuan was the real culprit who killed her brother, her good father is still calculating the stability of her own country and the balance of power between the two sides.

Like an indifferent spectator on the Colosseum, full of benevolence and morality, but deep down he loves the appearance of sitting on a high platform and watching people fight to the death for power.

She could guess that Emperor Yonghe would not give her much time to exile herself.
