Chapter 27
The coachman Li Yuanbao died of poisoning in Dali Temple. There was no clue from him. The Dali Temple Minister sent someone to ask Li Yuanbao's mother, and even the people he had friends with on weekdays, they had no result. The case was very important. The Dali Temple Minister was restricted everywhere. In the end, he could not find any clues. He had to report the irrelevant things that were found, trying to see the emperor's intentions.
The emperor's intention was naturally that his arms were folded and he hid them in his sleeves.
The emperor did not ask Dali Temple to deliberately conceal the case. One was to give Bai Ren or Lingnan an explanation. The other was that the emperor knew that this was not done by Qi Hua and wanted Dali Temple to clear him. But now Li Yuanbao is dead, and it is useless to say more, so he could only try his best to suppress the matter.
Naturally, the emperor could not explain this clearly. He only explained to the Dali Temple Minister that the case was related to Lingnan. Now it was a sensitive time. Neither the court nor the southern border could withstand the storm. The Dali Temple Minister knew the elegance and decided the case the next day. The coachman Li Yuanbao was reckless and had a long history of the case. After being drunk, he accidentally hit the prince Qi Xiao's carriage. Fortunately, there was no one in the carriage, and he did not disturb the prince Qiansui. After being detained in Dali Temple for a day, Li Yuanbao was sober. After knowing that he had hit the prince's majesty, he was frightened, and suddenly became heartbroken and scared himself to death.
Qi Xiao closed the document and smiled faintly: "Did you see it? This is how the history books you read on weekdays are written. Success, king, defeat, and after decades, those who know the past are dead, the fake will become real."
Bai Ren's heart moved, and suddenly remembered what Dong Boru told him about when Emperor Wu had just passed away. There were also loopholes. I don't know what happened back then.
It is related to Qi Xiao's biological parents, and they are both old people. Bai Ren can't ask too much, and took the document and looked at it, "The Dali Temple Minister has the ability to avoid the important things. He doesn't mention anything about what I originally sat on the car, but only says it's Your Highness's carriage, which makes people doubt the fact that the second prince had been in the previous disagreement with me."
Qi Xiao sneered and didn't respond. This was all the emperor's intentions. It was just a small matter. If you don't mention Bai Jie, you would not let anyone intent on the Lingnan. However, the emperor was not so at will. In order to calm the discussion on matters, the emperor asked Qi Hua for a crime of poor family management. He also removed the errand in the court. He asked him to rectify the affairs of the people after he was cured. After he was injured, the emperor had not said anything on the surface, but since the day of the accident, the emperor had never set foot in Fenghua Palace. Empress Feng occasionally asked for a meeting, and the emperor also refused because of his busy political affairs.
Of course, it is not enough to just punish. In order to appease Bai Ren, the disaster relief food and supplies sent to Lingnan this time were 200,000 stones more.
Qi Xiao glanced at Bai Ren and said that Cen Chaoge would go back to Lingnan with the army tomorrow.
These days, things happened one after another. Bai Ren tripped himself and couldn't go back to the mansion. However, occasionally Bai Ren would be stunned when he was no one else. Qi Xiao sneered in his heart. He didn't think Bai Ren was thinking about him.
Of course, Bai Ren may also be thinking about the relatives in the south. The complex situation now is not necessarily thinking about Cen Chaoge, but Qi Xiao still couldn't help but become popular. There were a few times when Qi Xiao almost had murderous intentions, which made Cen Chaoge disappear quietly on the way back to Lingnan. This was simply too easy for Qi Xiao.
But Bai Ren is not stupid either. Qi Xiao thought he had done everything in Maoer Hutong before, but Bai Ren still realized that Qi Xiao didn't want to make Bai Ren unhappy because of these things. However... Cen Chaoge had first made him feel blocked and then made Bai Ren sad. Qi Xiao smiled faintly in his heart, and he always had to teach him some lessons.
"I went to the palace early in the morning and didn't have enough breakfast. What do you want to eat at noon?" Qi Xiao walked to Bairen and sat down, pulled Bairen's hand and held it on his wrist, and sighed softly, "Bairen, you are thinner than when you first came to the imperial city..."
These days, he has become accustomed to pulling and pulling with Qi Xiao. Bai Ren did not hide anymore, but just shook his head and said, "It's probably because he's still growing... it's not easy to grow fat."
"Nonsense... I am not as thin as you at your age. In the afternoon, I asked Jiang Deqing to invite Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital to come over." Qi Xiao smiled at Bai Ren's puzzled eyes, "Doctor Zhang's pulse is very good, especially good at nourishing the method. Let him call you the pulse and write Zhang prescription. This is winter, and it is suitable for tonic. He is stronger and he will not get sick in winter."
Bai Ren felt warm in his heart when he heard this. Although he didn't want to take the medicinal food, he still didn't give Qi Xiao's kindness. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your care."
"Haha... Are you polite, the weather is getting colder, why are you wearing these clothes?" Qi Xiao naturally touched Bai Ren's arm, "Is it cold?"
Bai Ren was still confused and shook his head and said, "The Prince's Mansion is warm and not cold."
Qi Xiao couldn't help but smile: "There are more silver frost charcoal in our mansion every winter than in the Queen's Palace. The servants can burn it vigorously, so it will naturally be warm."
The emperor was determined to make Qi Xiao arrogance and extravagant. He spent a lot of money on Qi Xiao over the years. He did not change Qi Xiao's temperament, but let Qi Xiao enjoy the blessing of almost twenty years. Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "There is a lot of silver frost. There is probably not so much in your mansion. Don't let them save it. If it is not enough, just come to me to get it. But don't use the carbon I bought outside, it smells good and smells so good that you can't stand it."
When he was in Lingnan, only the Princess of Lingnan would always give Bai Ren this advice. Bai Ren couldn't help but nodded a little nostalgic and nodded. Qi Xiao saw him so well-behaved and liked him, gently held the person in his arms, and joked in a low voice: "If it doesn't work, just live with me. In winter, the ground dragon burns in this room, and it's not cold to wear only one layer of single jacket..."
Bai Ren shook his head quickly, Qi Xiao chuckled, looked down at Bai Ren's clothes, and whispered: "I'm still wearing less... What are you wearing here? Is it warm..."
Qi Xiao took advantage of Bai Ren's unresponsiveness and touched Bai Ren's clothes without any trace. Bai Ren thought Qi Xiao was really looking at whether he was wearing less clothes inside. He came to his senses until he was touched in the important place, and his face suddenly turned red: "Your Highness! You..."
"Okay, okay." Qi Xiao saw Bai Ren anxious and quickly comforted her, and chuckled, "I forgot about talking to you for a while. Your Highness can't help but feel involuntarily."
Bai Ren looked angry: "You just mean it..."
"Yes, it was intentional to me." Qi Xiao ignored Bai Ren's struggle and took the person back into his arms, comforting and laughed, "I told you that I am not a good person. You are so obedient today, and you didn't even say no if you hug you. Naturally, I will be more and more arrogant, and..."
Qi Xiao smiled softly and whispered in Bai Ren's ear: "Your Highness has put your hands in and your prince didn't say anything. I just think you like this too..."
Bai Ren was furious: "How could I like it!"
Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren's anxious look and felt more teasing. Suddenly, his subordinates pushed the person directly onto the couch. Qi Xiao knelt half on the couch, and took advantage of Bai Ren's failure to react and leaned over to press the person under his body, and chuckled softly: "Don't you? Why is your face red when you don't like it? Bai Ren..."
Qi Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's lips, whispering insults: "Be more obedient and let me enjoy it once... I promise you will like it in the future. If you don't touch you one day, you will probably still feel uncomfortable and cry..."
Bai Ren was embarrassed and did not dare to refuse. His handsome face turned red. Qi Xiao looked at him and was funny. The more anxious he was, the more Qi Xiao deliberately suppressed him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Deqing suddenly came in outside and whispered through the screen outside the warmer pavilion: "Crown Prince, Your Highness Xuan is entering the palace."
Bai Renru received a general amnesty and stuttered: "Your Highness... go quickly."
Qi Xiao laughed out loud, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips, and then laughed and said, "God helped you today, forget it, spare you first, stay here, wait for me to settle the score with you."
Qi Xiao stood up quickly, tidied up his clothes and turned the screen. The smile on his face instantly faded, and his phoenix eyes drooped: "Do you know what's going on?"
Jiang Deqing shook his head: "I don't know, but I just heard that I didn't announce anyone else, so I called Your Highness alone."
Qi Xiao chuckled: "Okay, let me see what he is thinking. By the way, there is another thing to tell you..."
Qi Xiao looked into the warm cabinet, walked out slowly, turned to the corridor and whispered to Jiang Deqing. Jiang Deqing nodded: "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely make arrangements tomorrow."
