Chapter 144 The frail and sickly powerful minister

When the words fell, Lin Xiaodong waited patiently for a while, but when he saw Jingji still didn't dare to come out, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Come here," he said commandingly, "rub your shoulders for me."

Jing Ji hesitated for a moment, but walked out of the corner slowly.

When his fingertips touched the young man's warm and smooth shoulders, he shrank subconsciously, but he still pursed his lips tightly and kneaded slowly with a slightly unfamiliar technique.

Lin Xiaodong is the first person in history to be able to help the Ninety-Five Lord to help pinching his shoulders.

"Sir..." In the silence, Jing Ji said in a low voice, "I've lost weight."

Lin Xiaodong said "um": "I have no appetite recently."

After saying this, the two fell into silence again.

Jing Ji only felt bitter in his heart.

Sure enough, they still came this far.

But at least Lin Xiaodong was still willing to see him, and Jing Ji reluctantly comforted himself in his heart, it wasn't the worst.

"Your Majesty, are you still planning to escape?"

"What?" Jing Ji asked subconsciously, and when he regained his senses, he realized that Lin Xiaodong had turned around and looked at him calmly with those dark eyes. He wanted to avoid the eyes of the youth, but his pride as an emperor did not allow Jing Ji to show weakness in front of Lin Xiaodong, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Why did you say this, sir? Busy, that's why-"

Lin Xiaodong: "Why do you keep avoiding me, and don't even go back to the dormitory when you sleep?"

Jing Ji was silent.

"You don't have to feel guilty." Lin Xiaodong sighed softly, pressing his wet palms against the young emperor's cheeks, which made the other party tremble, "Your Majesty, you are no longer a child, you are now the Lord of Jing Dynasty. Remember how I taught you?"

"Your Majesty, you can never make mistakes."

"But......"

"No but." Lin Xiaodong said decisively.

"Your plan this time has indeed taken into account all aspects," he even commented in a brisk tone, "The time, the right place, and everything are taken into account. Even if Xie Chen finds out later that he is not against his heart, you can still Use the charge of treason to get rid of him as quickly as possible, because Xie Chen, the power of the Lin House, has not been fully gathered in his hands."

"The only possible mistake is the substitute you sent to the court. If you can't completely ensure that he will not be discovered, you should not rashly let him stay in the capital. What's more, he is the Empress Dowager Changfeng. Whether you are loyal to you is also a big question."

"Your Majesty, you are softened."

all hit.

In just a few simple words, Lin Xiaodong completely analyzed Jing Ji's plan, and even pointed out his biggest concern in one sentence.

But after a few seconds of silence, Jing Ji took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, stared into his eyes without blinking and asked, "I understand Mr. What do you think?"

"Is this important?" Lin Xiaodong asked rhetorically.

"certainly!"

Jing Ji stood up abruptly, clenching his fists: "It is because of Mr.'s attitude that I am afraid!"

He took a few quick breaths before Lin Xiaodong managed to keep the last bit of calm under Lin Xiaodong's calm, almost grim gaze.

He took a half step back and said in a trembling tone, "Sir is always like this, he doesn't take himself to heart, and tells me that everything is about the big picture, and the queen mother also said that a ruler must be alone, but I am also a person! I also have joys, sorrows and sorrows, and I also care about the thoughts of the people I love-"

He suddenly closed his mouth, and a touch of crimson climbed up the boy's neck in a few breaths.

Lin Xiaodong's movements paused, he looked at Jing Ji who turned his head and did not want to meet his eyes again, his serious expression gradually softened a little.

But Jing Ji didn't see it, he was full of anger now, because of what Lin Xiaodong said just now - even if he was praised by his husband, he was not happy at all!

Why, even though I have done so much to him, my husband can still talk to him, the culprit, in a nonchalant tone?

Jing Ji closed his eyes fiercely, and said coldly, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

In a place he couldn't see, Lin Xiaodong looked at his back and showed a faint gentle smile.

If you still have time...

But soon, reason forced him to restrain this idea.

The young man with loose long hair lowered his eyes, closed his eyes, and sank himself into the warm pool.

The future of Jingji is an avenue of sunshine. With his ability, he will be able to achieve a foundation that will be sung by future generations for thousands of years.

And Lin Dongqing's life was already on the verge of dying.

A dying person, what qualification is there to ask for more.

Guo Xinwen has clearly felt something wrong recently.

Obviously, the old enemy was still dead lukewarm when he faced him, and the nature of opposing him has not changed, but Guo Xinwen just thinks that it is strange everywhere.

"Lord Lin," he finally couldn't hold back his doubts after leaving court again, and quickly caught up with the young man, "How is your body and bones lately?"

"Lin Dongqing" who was walking in front paused, turned slightly, nodded and said, "Thanks to Lord Guo, it's not bad."

It's really weird!

Guo Xinwen narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the person in front of him, and suddenly asked inexplicably, "I heard that Lord Lin's adopted son also entered the court?"

"yes."

Guo Xinwen leaned over as he spoke, and pretended to follow him on the carriage to the Lin Mansion for a seat, which made the body of the substitute stiff. He thought that this man surnamed Guo was not your Majesty's person, how could he have such a close relationship with Lin Dongqing? Could it be that the two of them are really good friends in private?

After the two got into the carriage, "Lin Dongqing" immediately broke away from Guo Xinwen's hand impatiently, and said coldly, "Master Guo, if you have something to say, just say it directly, you don't have to pull it like that."

Hearing this, Guo Xinwen sneered instead.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'm going to ask you," he sat upright on the seat, his eyes were cold, "You are so courageous! How dare you pretend to be a court official, who are you?"

"Lin Dongqing" his pupils shrank, but he said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand. Did Mr. Guo sleep in a daze last night?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you know what I'm talking about!"

Guo Xinwen even dared to be tough with Jing Ji, so would he still be afraid of him? The man directly drew his sword and unsheathed it, and in the blink of an eye, there was a long sword with a cold air on the side of the avatar's neck, which made him instantly pale with fright.

Although he was the one whom the Empress Dowager Changfeng gave to Jingji, but he was reused all because of his face. How could he be disguised? He immediately begged Guo Xinwen for mercy: "Master Guo, I am also forced to be helpless! You, look, why don't you take this sword away first? I really - ah ah ah!"

The carriage trembled, feeling the cold sword edge close to the skin again, the man screamed uncontrollably.

"To shut up!",

Guo Xinwen's face was ashen, watching "Lin Dongqing" showing such a panicked look in front of him, he only felt a nameless fire rise up: "What does it look like!

Even if he and Lin Dongqing had an incompatible relationship, it wouldn't be surprising if they really killed each other one day, but for Lin Dongqing, Guo Xinwen has always held a respect for his opponents, which is due to the youth's knowledge, ability and wrist. affim.

Occasionally, he would also think that if they were not political enemies, maybe they could still be friends.

But this guy with a sloppy stomach other than his appearance, he thought fiercely, even a little finger of Lin Dongqing couldn't compare!

When the driver outside heard the movement, he couldn't help raising his voice and asked, "Sir, what happened? Do you want to change the route?"

"It's nothing," Guo Xinwen maintained this posture and said in a cold tone, "Go ahead and go to the Lin Mansion."

He wanted to see what was going on!

After the carriage stopped, Guo Xinwen took the sword from the man's neck before getting off. The man let out a long sigh, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, almost slumped on the seat.

Guo Xinwen's eyelids twitched, and he turned his head, so that he could not see his heart.

"Get out of the car." He grabbed the avatar's shoulder and said coldly.

He came to Lin Mansion to find Xie Chen. As Lin Dongqing's adopted son, Guo Xinwen didn't believe that Xie Chen knew nothing.

Of course, another possibility is not ruled out-

Xie Chen is the one who used a stand-in to impersonate Lin Dongqing.

Therefore, when meeting Xie Chen, Guo Xinwen's tone was very bad: "Where is Lin Dongqing?"

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, his indifferent eyes swept over the stand-in behind Guo Xinwen, and the man shivered again, only then did he know that he had been discovered long ago.

"I don't know why Master Guo is here?" Xie Chen looked back and asked without answering.

"Don't ask knowingly," Guo Xinwen said. "What the hell is going on? I don't believe that Lin Dongqing is being calculated. This is the emperor's feet! Who can calculate him?"

Xie Chen was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "What if that person is Your Majesty?"

Guo Xinwen's eyes widened instantly.

"What!?" He responded quickly, and within a few seconds, he roughly understood the whole thing, and suddenly said in horror, "How could your majesty-this is too bold!"

"It turns out that Mr. Guo didn't even know about it," Xie Chen said sarcastically, "I thought that His Majesty had already colluded with you."

Although he used disrespectful words, Guo Xinwen didn't have the heart to tangle with this little detail. He was full of one thing now - His Majesty really did something to Lin Dongqing.

Guo Xinwen had long known that a growing tiger would have a battle with the former leader who defended the territory, even if Lin Dongqing had no intention of rebelling.

After all, the Heavenly Family is ruthless, a dynasty king must establish his own authority, and Lin Dongqing is the best test stone.

But at least it shouldn't be now, the war in the northern border has just started, and no one in the DPRK is more familiar with the situation in the frontier than Lin Dongqing. Your Majesty should know this, or he will not send a substitute to stabilize the situation in the DPRK.

He thought about it a lot, but in the end, seeing Xie Chen's indifferent expression, Guo Xinwen just let out a long sigh.

No matter how many thoughts he has, it is too late to say it now.

"Your Majesty should promote you soon," he said to Xie Chen with mixed feelings. "You...don't blame His Majesty. So far, no news is the best news."

Guo Xinwen can only bet now that, given His Majesty's feelings for Lin Dongqing over the years, he should not kill him.

Xie Chen said indifferently: "Thank you Mr. Guo for reminding me. The house is inconvenient to entertain guests today. If you have nothing to do, please come back first."

After Lin Dongqing left, the teenager grew up at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and took on all the affairs of the house, big and small.

Although there are countless nights of suffering and pain behind it.

Seeing this, Guo Xinwen also knew that it was really inappropriate for him to stay.

He took a last look at the substitute who was standing beside him and didn't dare to make a sound. The corners of his eyes jumped fiercely, but he didn't say anything. He snorted and left.

Based on what he knew about his old enemy, even if His Majesty made a move, if Lin Dongqing hadn't been willing to be bound, this matter would never have developed as peacefully as it is today, and the outside world has not even gotten any news.

You must know that with Lin Dongqing's current status, if he really confronts His Majesty, even if he is brought down by His Majesty in the end, then Jing Chao will definitely be hurt. At that time, there may be as many as hundreds of officials implicated.

"What the hell do you think..."

After leaving the Lin Mansion, Guo Xinwen stood on the bustling street with his hands behind his back and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Ding, good person card +1."

Hearing the voice, Lin Xiaodong, who was sitting alone at the desk, was taken aback for a moment.

He obviously didn't do anything, so who started to overthink himself?
