Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, don't you think the origin of this Imperial Tutor's disciple is strange?"
Xiao Yin stared intently at Qi Ke, his deep eyes unfathomable.
Qi Ke closed the memorial, his movements lazy, "Beloved Official Xiao is always connected with zhen's thoughts."
He smiled faintly, his eyes full of probing, "However, Beloved Official Xiao always understands zhen's thoughts, but zhen knows very little about you."
Since ascending to the throne, cleansing the Qing Dynasty, eradicating the old officials, everything was discussed and finalized without Xiao Yin's help. But at that time, he was still inexperienced and could not distinguish which was true and which was false. He actually promoted Xiao Yin to the position of Prime Minister in court, it could be said that he had led a wolf into the house.
Xiao Yin still had an appearance of doing his best. Qi Ke secretly laughed at himself. He knew that this was a hungry wolf, but he still could not forget these few years of kindness and did not care about everything.
"Your Majesty, you are busy every day and naturally do not need to be distracted by this official." Since returning to the capital from Jiangnan, Qi Ke had been probing everywhere. It seemed that he was already suspicious. Xiao Yin smiled sincerely. Hasn't the ruler and the official always fought openly and secretly since ancient times?
"Oh, you do have a point." Qi Ke no longer asked, "Let's return to Song Chun-shu. The Imperial Tutor has been on the throne for so many years, but I have never heard of him having a disciple. Now that a disciple has appeared, it is indeed suspicious."
"This official may be bold to say that since Your Majesty ascended to the throne, the old stubborn factions have already been dealt with. Only the Imperial Tutor is left with a high position and power. He has been ill for a long time, so he has been ignored. Now that Song Chun-shu has appeared, it is only to inherit the position of Imperial Tutor and contend with Your Majesty."
Qi Ke glanced at Xiao Yin and agreed, "Beloved Official is right. This Song Chun-shu is indeed strange, but right now we do not know if he is a friend or foe. Why not let Beloved Official investigate?"
He had already aroused Qi Ke's suspicion, so Xiao Yin did not dare to take credit anymore. He hesitated, "Your Majesty, this …"
"What? You looked like you were doing your best just now. Did I see wrongly? "
These words were filled with warning. Xiao Yin's heart sank. "Replying to Your Majesty, this official did not mean that. It's just that the State Preceptor's status is special. This official is afraid that it would be inappropriate for this official to investigate."
Qi Ke laughed heartily. "Xiao Yin, we've come this far together. What you're saying is rather funny. We asked you to investigate in secret, not to search the house."
Xiao Yin echoed with a gloomy look in his eyes. The reason why Qi Ke did this was to use him as a chess piece to keep Song Chun-shu in check and balance, so as to prevent him from gaining too much power. Furthermore, it could be used by him. What a brilliant plan, but whether or not it would come to fruition was uncertain.
"Since that's the case, you may leave."
Looking back at the magnificent palace, Xiao Yin pursed his lips and smiled. The political affairs of the imperial court and the vast empire were just the icing on the cake. Scheming with others and fighting wits with tigers were the fun things in life.
He waved his sleeves and was about to leave when he saw a young eunuch rushing towards the imperial study.
"Wait."
The young eunuch hurriedly bowed. "Greetings to Prime Minister Xiao."
"Get up. Why are you in such a hurry to see the emperor? What's the matter? "
The young eunuch was in a hurry and was out of breath. "Reporting to Prime Minister Xiao, it's the personal maidservant Yuan-er who was appointed by the emperor a few days ago. Miss Yuan-er is sick."
Xiao Yin's heart tightened. He revealed a teasing smile. "Is a maidservant worth the emperor's attention?"
"This … this servant doesn't know, but the emperor does favor Miss Yuan-er and doesn't arrange for her to do anything."
Seeing that Xiao Yin was lost in thought, the young eunuch couldn't help but remind him. "Prime Minister Xiao, this servant will go and report to the emperor …"
"No need." Xiao Yin looked at the young eunuch, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
"I'll go and see Miss Yuan-er."
"This …" The young eunuch hesitated. Whether the emperor has other feelings for Miss Yuan-er was not clear. If he acted rashly, he was afraid …
"What? Do you want to trouble the emperor for a little maidservant? Lead the way! "
"Yes …"
It's not that I'm derelict in my duties, it's the prime minister who forced me to do this.
Xiao Yin saw through the thoughts of the servant in front of him. "Don't worry. If anything happens, this minister will take responsibility."
There was a saying that some people and some things couldn't withstand praise. A few days ago, he praised this game for its fast progress and good design. But today, he made a mistake again. Before, the system at least gave him compensation and an explanation. But now, he didn't even give an explanation.
Thinking about how terrifying it was for a person to inexplicably faint on the ground, the maidservant who just came in almost screamed, thinking that she was dead.
"Miss Yuan-er, do you want to drink some medicine?"
Meng Jiangyuan shook her head in her heart, but her body didn't move. She only felt her lips touch the porcelain spoon and the medicine flowed down her mouth.
She looked like a mentally retarded girl.
"Greetings, Prime Minister Xiao." The maidservant put down the bowl of soup and bowed to Xiao Yin.
"What happened?"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng Jiangyuan's eyes wide open, looking at him miserably, making people feel distressed.
"Reporting to prime minister, when this servant came back, I saw Miss Yuan-er fainted on the ground. I immediately asked someone to help her into the inner chamber, but she didn't respond or move. Just now, this servant wanted to feed her medicine, but it was spilled."
Xiao Yin sat next to Meng Jiangyuan and touched her forehead with his hand, but there was nothing unusual.
"Did the imperial physician come?"
The maidservant smiled awkwardly, "Prime minister must be joking. How can we, the maidservants, invite the imperial physician? We just went to the imperial physician's office to grab some medicine."
Xiao Yin wanted to ask more, but he felt his sleeve being gently tugged. He looked down and saw Meng Jiangyuan's small hand.
When Meng Jiangyuan met Xiao Yin's concerned gaze, tears fell down. She swore that she didn't want to cry, but she really couldn't hold it in.
The girl in front of him blinked her eyes, her tears sparkling like gems. Her stubborn and pitiful appearance really hurt his heart.
Xiao Yin waved his hand to dismiss the maidservant. He helped Meng Jiangyuan up and leaned against the headboard.
Meng Jiangyuan blinked her eyes. What was Xiao Yin trying to do?
Her charm was as natural as when they first met. Xiao Yin scratched Meng Jiangyuan's nose, "You stupid fox."
What stupid fox? Did this person know that she was a fox?
Meng Jiangyuan continued to blink her eyes.
In Xiao Yin's eyes, she was acting cute. Xiao Yin was in a good mood, "What? Now you know how to be nice to me? "
Be nice to what? I wanted to ask you how you knew that I was a fox! Meng Jiangyuan was speechless. This system existed to trick her.
"This palace is boring. I don't know why a wild mountain demon like you came here to ask for trouble …"
Meng Jiangyuan was completely confused. What was this person talking about?
"What, did you forget about me? The thief who stole money? "
Hearing this, Meng Jiangyuan's eyes widened. Her red eyes looked very wronged. But that was not right. When she entered the room to steal money, she was in the body of a fox. How did he know that she was that fox?
"After staying in the palace for so long, you finally know the bitterness?"
Unfortunately, Meng Jiangyuan couldn't speak. She could only listen to Xiao Yin.
"When I was in Jiangnan, I never thought that there would be demons in the human world. That day, when you sneaked into my bedroom, I thought that you were a smart fox. I didn't expect that you had magic. The fog was thick and the smell was quite unique. When I saw your human form on the pleasure boat, if it weren't for the fact that I was extremely familiar with that scent, I wouldn't have believed that you were that fox. Afterwards, His Majesty carrying you and escaping from the fire also confirmed my guess. "
Xiao Yin stared at Meng Jiangyuan. His words were full of curiosity, "But I don't know what relationship you have with the emperor? You sacrificed yourself to save him and turned into a human form to accompany him? "
Naturally, Meng Jiangyuan's eyes blinked in response. He sighed with regret, "It's fine if you don't want to say it. Now that you look like this, you should regret staying in the palace, right?"
Meng Jiangyuan roared in her heart. I f * cking regret playing this game now!
As soon as she expressed this thought, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. Then, she fainted again.
Xiao Yin caught Meng Jiangyuan. The infatuation in his eyes was revealed little by little. If he didn't have the blessing of his appearance, he would definitely look like a wretched man who took liberties with good women.
After that, Meng Jiangyuan fell into a deep sleep for three days.
She had a very, very long dream about the year 233.
In the dream, she was a researcher at the Cosmic Technology Research Center. Because of a problem with the research plan, she had a huge conflict with the people at the research center and stayed at home. Before that, she seemed to have a boyfriend who abandoned her because of a game. After that, she was like a walking corpse, playing all kinds of games every day to relieve her tiredness. One day, she found a game. It was a transmigration game with the goal of torturing scum. The grievances and unwillingness of the breakup that were hidden deep in her heart all gushed out. She entered the game, and in the game, she was a fox …
"Kite, if it wasn't for the fact that I really love you, I would never do this. Trust me …"
The subordinates looked at each other. Their boss was no different from a madman. However, they were also crazy to work under a boss like this …
Yu Xian smiled. "Are you guys wondering if I'm crazy?"
Seeing his subordinates avoiding his gaze, Yu Xian wasn't angry. "I'm not crazy, it's the world that's crazy."
"But you guys won't understand. Right now, Saltfish Corporation is the biggest company in the universe. Who would think that the company's CEO is crazy?"
He pointed at the data wall in front of him. "Look, look at this. Doesn't this increase in the number of players also prove the success of our company?"
An old man stood up with trembling hands and feet. "Yu … Yu Zong, you were the one who implanted the final plan …"
"Researcher, what are you afraid of? Kite is my wife! She is contributing to our research. Qiu Yu is my brother. He doesn't have the guts to do the experiment, so my wife has to suffer! Do you understand?! "
Hearing Yu Xian's words, the group of subordinates were so scared that their legs trembled. This CEO of a global company had impressive results, but now he was emitting such a terrifying aura.
Yu Xian didn't say anything else. The subordinates scrambled out of the conference room.
