The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 38 This world belongs to me

Jin Qi wanted to struggle, but his body was extraordinarily honest. He was greedy for Lin Xu's breath, and the ambiguous situation at the moment.

Seeing that Jin Qi didn't speak, Lin Xu moved closer, almost touching Jin Qi's cheek.

Lin Xu lowered his head slightly, and the tip of his nose touched Jin Qi's earlobe. The cold feeling made Jin Qi's body tremble slightly, and also made the memory of last night clearer in Jin Qi's mind.

Lin Xu always had a way to easily defeat him. It was obviously not a drastic method, but he was powerless to resist.

Jin Qi's body was stiff, and he tilted his head slightly. The tingling feeling in his body was becoming more and more clear and overwhelmed him, and there was a sound of intentionally heavy footsteps coming from the door.

Lin Xu looked up, and saw the guard following him standing there with his head bowed, and he clasped his fists, as if something was wrong.

"What happened?" Lin Xu didn't change his posture of embracing Jin Qi. There were not many people in Lin Xu's mansion, but he could trust them all.

"My lord, this subordinate was going to wait outside the palace gate just now, but after going out, I ran into a servant of the mansion there, saying that the mansion just received a letter from home." The guard didn't look up, as if he didn't see the only The unbearable scene separated by the half wall.

When Lin Xu heard that it was a letter from his family, surprise appeared in his originally smiling eyes.

Over the past few years, because of his important job, he seldom went home, and the only communication with the two elderly people in his family was letters from home.

Letters from home are not surprising, but he only received them a few days before his birthday, and the replied letter has not yet been sent, and now another letter from home has arrived, so it must not be a trivial matter at home.

With this consideration in mind, Lin Xu let go of Jin Qi who was in his arms, "I'm going back home first."

It was rare for Lin Xu to show such impatience on the surface. Jin Qi nodded patiently with the disappointment in his heart, and did not stop him.

Lin Xuxu saluted, turned around and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace, and disappeared from sight in a short while.

Jin Qi stood in place until Lin Xu's body temperature completely dissipated, and then he said, "Follow me and see what happened."

Before Lin Xu left, his expression was a little anxious, which made Jin Qi vaguely uneasy.

After Jin Qi gave his orders, he turned around and walked towards the palace.

Knowing that one of the hidden guards beside him must have left the palace, Jin Qi scratched his head a little irritably. He is not such a person who is easily disturbed, but he can't calm down when things involve Lin Xu.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.On the other side, Lin Xu walked quickly to the mansion, and before entering the door, the manager at the side handed over the family letter.

Lin Xu took it, and opened it to look at it while walking towards the mansion.The family letter was not thick, only half a page long, and it briefly described the news that Lin Xu's mother was seriously ill.

After reading the letter, Lin Xu slowed down, and the anxiety on his face turned into faint anxiety.

On the morning of the second day, Lin Xu took the initiative to stand up at the end of the morning, and he wanted to ask for leave.

Hearing this news, all the officials in the palace were in a commotion, but Lin Xu rarely asked for leave, and he has never been absent in the past few years.

When Jin Qi heard that Lin Xu was going to take leave for more than a month, he already knew what happened, and he agreed, but his heart became more and more reluctant.

Since Lin Xu became an official in the court, he has not been away for nearly seven years, and now Lin Xu leaves whenever he says, and he leaves for a month, which inevitably makes him not used to it.

Lin Xu was allowed to ask for leave, but it didn't mean that he could leave immediately. He still had to explain all the things in his hands. Fortunately, the business tax was on the right track, and the matter of the post station had been roughly negotiated before. Not much needs to be done.

In the palace, in the side hall, Lin Xu explained everything that needed to be explained, and before leaving, he went to the Ministry of Rites to look for Xu Lan.

It took a month for him to leave, and Xu Lan needed to help look at many things.

"...Master Prime Minister?" Xu Lan called out to the people beside him again.

see Lin Xu seems

As he was distracted, the smile on Xu Lan's face couldn't hold back any longer, because in his impression Lin Xu was always indifferent, and nothing could make him so uneasy.

"Sorry, what did you just say?" Lin Xu returned to his senses.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, and I will pay more attention. You don't need to worry too much, let alone the emperor is here." Xu Lan received the information.

Lin Xu nodded, and when he came back to his senses, he seemed to have returned to the old prime minister, "Then there is Lord Lao Xu."

Xu Lan wanted to ask a few more questions about his condition, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Xu got up and went out.When Xu Lan saw this, there was faint worry in his eyes.

After explaining the affairs in the palace, Lin Xu didn't delay for a moment, so he packed his things and went home with his guards that afternoon.

The carriage drove out from the prime minister's mansion, passed through the bustling streets, and walked a long section of bluestone road, and left Beijing in the evening.

The carriage kept moving forward, and Lin Xu sat in the carriage and looked at the sunset going west outside the window, as well as the rolling mountains, feeling a little absent-minded.

No matter what is going on in this world, he can count one or two in detail, and he is even more clear about what happened to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that everything is under his control, but there is only one thing in this world. What he can't do is the passage of time.

At the thirteenth year, he prepared to take the examination for fame, and at fourteenth he became an official in the imperial court for the first time. Since then, because the capital city is too far away from his hometown and the complicated situation with the imperial court, he seldom returns home.

Calculating carefully, during the past seven or eight years, the number of times he went home can be counted on the fingers, and the chance to meet his parents is even less than five times in total.

It is precisely because he seldom goes home that the passage of time is so clear. During the few meetings, he can clearly feel the changes in his parents every time he meets.

From the prime of life when he left home to the middle age to now, he remembered that when they met for the last time, both of them were obviously much older.

After he entered the court and became an official, especially after he became a minister, because of the complicated situation in the court and the dangers in the dark, he had less and less contact with his family.

He is not a filial person, but he has never underestimated the word filial piety. He originally wanted to say that he would not cause trouble to his family, but now he thinks about it, but he is a bit self-righteous and doesn't know what to gain or lose.

It's just that his parents never mentioned blaming him. If it wasn't for his serious illness this time, they wouldn't have come home to tell him.

Lin Xu was distracted when the carriage stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xu lowered the curtains, and he only saw someone in front of him from the car window.

The guard driving the carriage did not reply immediately, but said in a slightly surprised voice, "This—"

"We happen to be traveling together, how about giving me a ride in a carriage?" A familiar male voice came, faintly excited.

Lin Xu raised his eyebrows lightly. He came near the car door, gently lifted the curtain with his slender fingers, and then looked out the door.

Just in front of their carriage, Jin Qi, who had changed into casual clothes, led a fast horse, his face was full of excitement and triumph.

Jin Qi was quite proud of himself sneaking out of the palace and waiting here to intercept the carriage, because he must be able to see Lin Xu's expression of surprise.But things were a little different from what he expected. Lin Xu in the carriage didn't show any surprise, but just looked at him pretending not to know him.

"We are different." Lin Xu's face remained unchanged.

Jin Qi, who was originally sullen, choked when he heard the words, his face flushed a little, he didn't pretend to meet by chance, he threw away the rein and hurriedly climbed onto the carriage with all his hands and feet, for fear that Lin Xu would just leave him like this Ran.

There was no footstool under the carriage, and Jin Qi crawled in a bit of a panic. Seeing this, the guard wanted to step forward to help, but retreated under the gaze of Lin Xu's dark eyes.

Jin Qi climbed into the carriage, no matter whether Lin Xu was willing or not, he immediately got into the carriage and sat down, never wanting to leave again.

Lin Xu didn't speak, just looked at him, Jin Qi was soon overwhelmed by the look, and said by himself, "I didn't come here because I was worried about you, but because other things made me have to go this way."

"what

thing? "Lin Xu's black eyes seemed to contain a clear stream, clearly reflecting Jin Qi's embarrassment.

"I deliberately left the palace to investigate the person who threw the snake before, and waited for him to take the bait." Jin Qi spit out the excuse he had already thought up. He was quite confident in this excuse when he planned all this, but when he really When he said it in front of Lin Xu, he felt guilty and had no confidence.

"Does the emperor think that I will believe such a poor excuse?" Lin Xu asked mercilessly.

Jin Qi was distracted, his eyes were floating left and right, and his face was instantly flushed.

But even if Lin Xu broke his mind, he insisted on brazenly holding back, because he was afraid of being pulled up by Lin Xu and thrown out of the window. Jin Qi was still nervously pulling the seat under him. His eyes were full of vigilance, and if Lin Xu dared to throw him out, he would hug the seat and act like a rascal.

Lin Xu looked at the familiar face in front of him, seeing the familiar frustration and unwillingness on that face, layers of haze in his heart dissipated, all the uneasiness in the past two days disappeared, and his heart gradually returned to its former calmness.

"What does the emperor want to do?" Lin Xu knew it well, but he played tricks, wanting to see how Jin Qi was annoyed by his shame but couldn't get angry.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xu said this, Jin Qi blushed a lot, "If you want to take care of it, this world belongs to me, and I can go wherever I like, you don't care."

In Jin Qi's daily life, he was the Emperor of Ninth Five-Year, and he was always coaxed by others to follow him. Now that Lin Xu said so, if he hadn't been thick-skinned in front of Lin Xu, he might have fled long ago.

Lin Xu had expected that he would say this a long time ago, so he didn't say much, got up and got out of the carriage, abandoned the carriage and wanted to walk back.

Jin Qi couldn't see it in the carriage, but the guard standing in front of the carriage saw the rare smile on Lin Xu's face.Lin Xu hadn't stretched his face since he knew his mother was seriously ill, and this was the first time he had smiled.

Seeing this, the guard breathed a sigh of relief. He skillfully followed Lin Xu's pace, and waited for the people in the carriage behind him to rage into a rage.

Sure enough, before Lin Xu walked a foot away, there was a roar from inside the carriage, "The road you walked is also mys, and the stone on the side of the road is also mys!"

Lin Xu ignored him, and continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard anything. Jin Qi yelled a few more words. Seeing that Lin Xu ignored him, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and caught up, fearing that he would be lost.

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly went to the rear to pull Jin Qi's horse and carriage together, and followed behind not far or near.

Jin Qi yelled and walked all the way, and when he was talking almost dry, Lin Xucai opened his mouth quietly and lit up again, "I'm going home to see my relatives and see a doctor. What's the emperor going to do so shamelessly?"

Jin Qi immediately exploded when he heard the words, and he opened his mouth to get angry, but he didn't know whether to refute Lin Xu, saying that he was sloppy or what.

Jin Qi was holding back, but he heard Lin Xu say again: "Or is it that the ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her in-laws?"
