"Typhoid enters the body..."

"The root of the disease that fell when I was young..."

In the drowsiness, Lin Xiaodong heard a faint voice coming from beside him.

His eyelids fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"grown ups!"

A ten-year-old boy rushed to the side of the bed, crying heavily in his voice: "You finally woke up, my lord!"

Lin Xiaodong stared blankly at the ceiling above his head for a while, only to feel that half of his body was soaked in an ice cave, his limbs and bones were aching, and his chest was extremely dull.

In the next second, he coughed heart-piercingly.

"My lord! Are you all right, my lord?"

The young man hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water, carefully lifted his head, and fed him little by little, barely suppressing the fishy sweetness surging in Lin Xiaodong's throat.

An old hand touched his pulse, he looked up and found that it was an old man with gray beard and hair.The young man noticed his gaze and hurriedly introduced: "My lord, this is the most famous doctor in the whole capital, Doctor Nian Songnian."

The boy's name is Xie Chen, an orphan Lin Dongqing rescued in the frontier, and he is very loyal to him.

Lin Xiaodong sat up with half of his body propped up, coughed twice, and said to Nian Song, "Thank you, Doctor Nian, but my own body knows it, so just tell me, how much time do I have left?"

Xie Chen panicked and said, "My lord, what are you talking about? Doctor Nian has superb medical skills, you will definitely be fine!"

But the young man on the bed, wearing only white obscene clothes and with loose long hair, just looked at Nian Song fixedly. Although he looked weak and sick, he still had a stubborn expression, as if he only wanted to get an answer from the other party.

The old man half-closed his eyes, frowned for a moment, and slowly withdrew his hand.

"This old man can only do his best," he sighed, "Although the dose of poison Mr. Lin took is not large, the toxicity is not small, not to mention that your body is already at a deficit. If you are optimistic, it will take about five years. "

"Five years..."

The young man closed his eyes and murmured, "Enough is enough."

But Xie Chen stood up abruptly: "Doctor Ke Nian, you didn't say that just now! You clearly said that if you take care of it properly, you won't have a problem living for decades!"

"I did say it, but the premise is that Master Lin will stay away from the government and stop working hard." Nian Song looked at him and then at Lin Xiaodong who was leaning on the bed, his old face was complicated and difficult to distinguish, "But Master Lin can do it." Are you there?"

Xie Chen gritted his back molars firmly, without saying a word.

It would be fine if it was a peaceful and prosperous age, but now it is a troubled time, according to his understanding of Lin Dongqing, even if he killed the other party, he would definitely not do so.

"I already know." Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes and said hoarsely, "Doctor Nian, I will trouble you for the next few years."

Nian Song paused for a moment, then bowed to him and saluted: "Healers are parents, Mr. Lin has worked hard for the country, please take care of yourself."

Lin Xiaodong nodded slightly, and waved his hand to express his gratitude to send him off to the doctor.

And when Xie Chen came back, what he saw was a young man wearing a cloak sitting on the bed, although his brows and eyes were tired, he was still holding a roll of official documents that needed to be reviewed urgently.

"What are you doing!"

He was so anxious and angry that he forgot his identity for a moment, stepped forward and snatched the pen from Lin Xiaodong's hand, and said loudly: "How did you forget what Doctor Cai Nian said just now? You just turned around from the gate of hell. Come back, even the most important things must be put aside first!"

Lin Xiaodong blinked his eyes, and looked at him with a very strange look.

In fact, he didn't have much impression of Xie Chen, and he had only met him a few times in Lin's mansion since time travel. He felt like a young man who didn't have a high sense of existence and obeyed Lin Dongqing's words.

I really didn't expect that this child had the courage to face himself.

Probably because he finally realized how rebellious he had done under Lin Xiaodong's gaze, the boy holding the pen turned from red to pale, and immediately knelt down beside the bed with a plop.

"Sir, I..."

"Get up, I don't blame you." Lin Xiaodong rubbed his aching temple, and said calmly, "Come here and rub my shoulders."

The boy with his head down suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which were full of anxiety and guilt, lit up instantly.

Feeling the proper massage on his shoulders, Lin Xiaodong let out a breath of foul air slowly, thinking about his plans for the next few years.

After New Year's Eve, the Empress Dowager was imprisoned in the deep palace by him. No matter what the reason was, the hat of this rebellious minister and thief would definitely not be able to be removed by himself. I must wait for the next court meeting, and the papers for impeaching him would be piled up It's the desk of Manjingji.

Originally, he planned to use some soft tactics, but since he doesn't have much time to stay in this world, he might as well...

The young man sneered and thought, since the Empress Dowager Changfeng felt that she was a confidant of the Jing Dynasty and had to get rid of it, then he would really show them as a powerful minister!

Lin Xiaodong was thinking about it, but he didn't make a sound for a while, and the young man behind him also quietly rubbed his shoulders and beat his back.

For a while, the room was silent, only the sound of light beating and cloth rubbing could be heard.

For convenience, Lin Xiaodong simply gathered the long hair that was loose behind him to his chest, exposing a section of snow-white and thin neck.Xie Chen's eyes moved down unconsciously, looking at the adult's thinner back and protruding spine, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

"My lord, I don't understand," he asked in a low voice, "It was the same when you were in the frontier, why did you work so hard?"

If it is to repay the kindness of the late emperor, Xie Chen can still understand it, but Lin Dongqing still cares so much about the little emperor sitting on the throne now, and he even does not hesitate to be misunderstood by the world, and bear the infamy of future generations to pave the way for his future... If it is rebellious, in the eyes of Xie Chen, who is an orphan, it is simply thankless and stupid.

Obviously, with the current status of your lord, being a rich and idle person, both His Majesty and the ministers will be happy to see it, Xie Chen thought aggrievedly, and your lord is not a person who chases fame and fortune, how much money those subordinate officials sent Lin Dongqing as bribes, How much the family spends and gives away every month, as a housekeeper, can he not know?

"Ding, good person card +1."

As soon as Lin Xiaodong heard the prompt, he knew that this kid must be thinking wrong. How could he be so great?

If it wasn't Gu Xi who was in the palace, he would have quit early in the morning.

So he didn't answer, but closed his eyes and said, "I pretend I've never heard this sentence before. Thank you, what did I say when I adopted you?"

Xie Chen squeezed his shoulders unconsciously: "You said...you only want obedient subordinates."

"You have done very well these years," Lin Xiaodong said meaningfully, "I hope you don't let me down."

Xie Chen's lips moved.

Where he couldn't see, the boy showed his adopter an expression that seemed to be both smiling and crying. He stared deeply at the back of the long-haired youth with longing eyes, and responded in a low voice.

"……Yes."

The new year has not yet passed, and as Lin Xiaodong expected, the matter of the Empress Dowager Changfeng really made Jing Chao very upset.

Even Wang An, who is currently in an alliance of interests with Lin Dongqing, wrote a letter, accusing him of being too reckless and disrespectful to the queen mother, and asked him to release the queen mother quickly.Not to mention those ministers who already disliked Lin Dongqing.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a group of people knelt outside the gate of the imperial palace, begging His Majesty to rescue the Empress Dowager Changfeng, and immediately dispose of Lin Dongqing to rectify the imperial power of heaven.

Lin Xiaodong's countermeasures were also very tough——

Let them scold, let them make trouble, let them go?

Go dream!

So a group of old men who claimed to be loyal ministers could only look at Lin Xiaodong swaggering past them in a sedan chair, and drove straight in from the gate of the imperial city, all of them were so angry that their mouths and eyes were crooked, and their blood pressure soared.

"Disaster and chaos... Lin Dongqing, you must die!"

Hearing the loud curses coming from behind, Lin Xiaodong snorted and didn't pay attention at all.

But they hadn't gone far in the palace before they were stopped around the corner.

A young man with a righteous face pointed at him, his face was full of righteous indignation: "Lin Dongqing! You, you, you...you dare to appear in the palace? How shameless!"

Yo, still a new face.

He aroused a little bit of interest, and raised his voice to ask: "Which one are you?"

"Cultivated by the Imperial Academy, Guo Xinwen!" The young man answered loudly with wide eyes and wide eyes, not afraid of tigers.

Lin Xiaodong laughed.

However, since the poisoning, the young man's already poor physique has become even worse. Now he can't make any big moves at all, and even laughing can't help coughing.But he forcibly resisted the itch in his throat, and said to Guo Xinwen: "So you are a sixth-rank sesame official, and I don't know what kind of big man it is. Boy, it's nothing more than a small official position. You are also from the Hanlin Academy, at least you are a Jinshi." Right? After reading books for so many years, don’t you even know how to wink?”

Guo Xinwen said angrily: "For a treacherous official like you, what do you need to look at? You committed a riot, launched a palace change to imprison the queen mother, and tried to control His Majesty. A sinner like you should be dragged out of the Meridian Gate! Although I am only a sixth-rank official, I also have the heart to serve the country, and I will definitely submit an impeachment to His Majesty tomorrow morning!"

"Don't worry, I already have a general understanding of what I look like in everyone's eyes." Lin Xiaodong propped his chin, and without getting angry, he just sat on the sedan chair with a smile on his face, stretched out a slender and thin finger and nodded to kneel on the chair. The veterans outside the palace wall in the distance were filled with righteous indignation, "I don't know if you have noticed that from the beginning to the end, this group of people is full of thunder and rain. Fortunately, you don't even know when you are pushed out to block the gun."

"you--"

"Could I be wrong?" Lin Xiaodong narrowed his eyes, "Young man, if I had even thought about killing a chicken for the monkey to see, your blood would be splashed on the imperial city today."

"I--"

"You want to say that death just fulfills your loyalty as a courtier, doesn't it?" Before Guo Xinwen could speak, Lin Xiaodong interrupted him again, "But have you thought about how your death will affect me? Have you thought about how to pave the way for His Majesty's future before you die? In my opinion, your so-called loyalty with one death not only brings no benefit to His Majesty, but is even worthless! It only puts His Majesty in a dilemma!"

Guo Xinwen was silenced by him, his face turning blue and pale.

But even though his chest was full of anger, he still frowned unconsciously, looking hesitantly at the pale young man in front of him.

Lin Dongqing, why did you say this to yourself?

"gone."

Before he could think about it, Lin Xiaodong had already left in a sedan chair.

After all, it is in the palace, even though Jing Ji is still young and has few people available under his command, he still learned about this episode from the eunuch.

Hearing Lin Dongqing questioning Guo Xinwen, "Have you thought about how to pave the way for Your Majesty's future before you die?" He felt ironic, but also couldn't help but have a little hope: Lin Dongqing could actually say such a heartfelt thing to a sixth-rank official If he didn't punish the other party, does it prove that he actually still has himself as the emperor in his heart?

Maintaining such a complicated mood, Jing Ji stayed in the study all the time, pretending to be buried in his studies, waiting for Lin Xiaodong to come and talk to him.But he didn't expect that if the left and right couldn't come, he couldn't pretend anymore!

Seeing his absent-minded look, the Tai Tuo next to him sighed and said, "Since Your Majesty is not focused on studying, let's stop teaching today."

Jing Ji lowered his eyes and acquiesced.

After the Taifu left, Jing Ji sat blankly at the desk in the study, staring at the blank rice paper in front of him for a long time.

He originally thought that Lin Dongqing was apologizing to him for his mother's affairs. Even if he didn't apologize, given his personality, he would at least find a high-sounding excuse.

In fact, Jing Ji does not have a deep relationship with the Empress Dowager Changfeng. He even understands better than anyone else what kind of person his empress mother is, selfish, crazy, and strong desire for power... Since becoming the throne, the Empress Dowager Changfeng has restrained him far better than Lin Dongqing. hundred times.

Even though he was very angry, Jingji was ready to believe unconditionally no matter what the young man said.

...if only he would explain.

But Lin Dongqing entered the palace, but did not come to see him.

Not only that, but he was allowed to develop his influence and influence in the palace, and he didn't seem to mind regaining power by himself at all.

The little emperor's entangled intestines were almost knotted, and the original seven-point anger became very angry, and he was even a little bit wronged.

What about controlling me?What about coercing the emperor to order the world?

fraud!
