Chapter 76 The current situation

"Dad, could something happen in the palace?"

"Needless to say?! Something must have happened!" Ling Zaifu hurried out.

"Hey, Dad, shoes... you don't have any shoes on!"

Ling Rui took his old father's shoes and hurried after him. After putting them on for him, the father and son hurried to the hall.

The people in the palace have left, and Ling Xi is talking to Hua Luo there.

"Yes, yes, that's the taste. I've been wanting to eat it for a long time in the palace. They say the chefs in the imperial kitchen are the best in the world, but they just can't make it. My Hua Luo's craftsmanship is better!"

"Then, miss, if you come to the palace next time, just take me with you. You won't take me with you every time, and there won't even be anyone to serve you."

"Woooooo, no need," Ling Xi ate something in her mouth and spoke slurredly: "It won't be needed for a short time, and it won't be needed if His Majesty dies..."

When Ling Zaifu came in, he happened to hear the latter sentence. At that time, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

Ling Rui from behind was startled: "Dad? What are you..."

"A rebellious girl, a rebellious girl..." Ling Zaifu ignored his son's support and stumbled into the hall, still holding his shoes in his hand: "Tell me, what did you do to His Majesty again? Why did he die again? Are you alive? Is it the Queen Mother... Hey, have you done anything for the Queen Mother that is disgraceful to His Majesty? "

"Dad, no, I..."

Before Ling Xi could explain, her old father's shoes were thrown over.

Seeing that something was wrong, she quickly ran away while protecting the bowl in her hand: "Dad, what are you doing? I finally ate a bowl of Bingsu Nao..."

"Eat, eat, eat, I'll let you eat," Ling Zaifu took off his other shoe and started to take action: "I'll beat you to death to see if you eat again!"

"Daddy, daddy, wait a minute, wait a minute," Ling Rui hurriedly hugged his old father from behind and spun him around: "Listen to what Xiaosi has to say first. Ling Xiaosi, what do you think is going on?"

"What's going on? I don't even know what happened," Ling Xi felt aggrieved: "I just came back, I'm so tired, I asked Hua Luo to cook a bowl of Bingsu Nao, and I haven't even had two bites of it, Dad. He just rushed in and wanted to beat me..."

"Ling Rui, let me go," Ling Zaifu wanted to break away from his son, but Ling Rui's arms were too strong and couldn't break free. He could only wave his shoes symbolically and shouted at his daughter: "Ling Xi, Don’t you have any idea why I hit you?”

Ling Xi had an innocent face: "Dad, are you being unreasonable? I don't even know why I was beaten..."

"I beat you because you deserve to be beaten. Tell me, did you do something to His Majesty again?"

"I didn't... what do you mean!? Dad, you are talking as if I have done something to His Majesty!"

"You...ah, you want to make me mad, right?" Ling Zaifu was furious and threw his shoe at him angrily: "Don't you know what you have done to His Majesty?"

Thinking back to when he entered the palace and saw His Majesty's pitiful appearance after being "destroyed by cruel hands", he wished he could kill his own daughter.

Now, she actually has the nerve to say that she hasn't done anything!

If he hadn't cared about his daughter's family's reputation, he would have wanted to press Ling Xi to the ground and rub her.

"Ling Rui, you, go and close the door and let everyone out..."

"Dad, what are you doing?" Ling Rui had a bad feeling and immediately gave his sister a look.

Ling Xi also realized that something was wrong and ran out the door with the ice cream in hand.

Ling Zaifu's hysterical roar came from behind: "What are you doing!? I'll kill her first and clean up the house..."

"..."

……

Ling Xi has been hiding and not daring to show up.It wasn't until the old father got the news in the palace from other connections that he asked Ling Rui to call her.

Ling Xi didn't want to come at first, but she couldn't resist Ling Rui and dragged her into the study.

"boom!"

The door slammed shut.

Ling Xi regretted instantly and ran back quickly, but Ling Rui grabbed her arm and dragged her to the desk.

"Dad, Xiaosi is here!"

Ling Zaifu raised his head with a dark face and didn't say a word.

Ling Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Dad..."

"I heard that the Queen Mother you fought against in the palace almost killed you! Ling Xi, what do you think? You dare to fight against the Queen Mother?"

"Dad, you may have a misunderstanding about this matter," Ling Xi explained with a smile: "Even if I don't attack the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will try her best to kill me, because I am a tyrant... No, no, it is His Majesty's party! "

Ling Zaifu has been immersed in the court for many years, so he naturally knows the relationship between the Queen Mother and the tyrant.

But this is the first time that we have to show our face openly.

"I heard that the Queen Mother did not kill you this time for the sake of a prisoner. Ling Xiaosi, what's going on between you and the prisoner?" Ling Rui frowned: "Aren't you with His Majesty... um , what about that?”

Regarding the romantic history between Ling Xi and Tyrant, although no one has obtained real evidence and the two of them have not said anything about it, there are still many rumors about it.

Ling Zaifu knew about his daughter's "unfortunate debt" and coughed: "Yes, aren't you and His Majesty...why did there appear to be some young prince from the Eastern Xinjiang Kingdom?"

"Dad, third brother, if you believe me, you don't need to worry about these rumors. Just know that the little prince is currently a member of our group, but I am not sure whether he will become the regent's party in the future!"

"What's the matter with the regent?" Ling Rui took a breath.

One queen mother is enough for them, so why do they need an extra regent?
Ling Zaifu's face darkened: "So, the regent is also... involved?"

Of course, an old fox like him could smell the regent's different thoughts.

"Well, it's very messy." Ling Xi sat down at the desk, took out the brush and drew a small circle on the paper: "This is Your Majesty."

A big circle was drawn on the left: "This is the Queen Mother."

On the right a larger circle was drawn: "This is the Prince Regent."

The two circles spiraled and spread, gradually engulfing the smaller circle.

"The Queen Mother and the Prince Regent are two extremes. They both want to eat your majesty's fat piece of meat. The current situation is that your majesty has become the meat on their chopping board and may be divided up at any time... Dad."

Ling Xi raised her head, her eyes were stern, and her previous laughter was gone.

"We belong to His Majesty's small circle. If His Majesty is gone, we will be gone too."

Ling Rui bit her lip and looked at her old father: "Dad, Xiaosi... are you exaggerating?"

Ling Zaifu shook his head: "Since ancient times, the struggle for power has been like this. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp... Your Majesty is just a little shrimp now."

He solemnly said: "And we are just mayflies. Mayflies are the most inconspicuous little things. Only by not clinging to any power can we survive the changes in dynasties."
