Chapter 56
Chapter 56
During this sleep, not only Xiao Yiran slept deeply, but even Yin Tianqi rarely slept until dawn the next morning.
He hasn't slept for such a long time in a long time. When he woke up, he felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable. He tilted his head to look at Xiao Yiran who buried his face by his neck, leaned over and raised his hand to pinch the tip of his nose. He pouted and moved, leaned over and kissed his forehead again.
"Hmm..." Frowning and reaching out to push his face, Xiao Yiran snorted dissatisfied and turned his back to him.
"Sleep still?" Putting his arms around his waist, Yin Tianqi leaned over to kiss the tender flesh of his neck and muttered.
"Yeah." With his eyes closed, Xiao Yiran leaned back, pressed himself against him, then turned around and rubbed his forehead against his chin, "I want to sleep."
He hasn't slept as peacefully as he does now for several days, and he wants to sleep a little longer, because he knows that this warm and reassuring embrace for him doesn't have much time to accompany him.
"I can't sleep that much." Yin Tianqi ran his hands along his long hair and pinched his cheek, "If I don't come, will you not sleep or eat?"
He asked this question with a hint of irritation, when he thought of Xiao Yiran not eating after leaving him, his heart constricted, and it was difficult to even breathe.
Xiao Yiran's body froze, he poked his head forward with his mouth pursed, and hummed softly.
"Am I right?" Yin Tianqi squeezed his chin with a cold snort, raised his hand and pushed his head back a little, "But, are you protesting that I sent you outside?"
Xiao Yiran shook his head and finally opened his eyes to look at him.
"I don't think so." He pursed his lips, licked his dry lips, and muttered in a low voice. He also knew that Yin Tianqi was upset by his behavior. He knew how much this person was worried about his body, so he It is also expected that the body is so angry.
"I really don't think so. You let me out of the palace for my own good. I also want to help you with some things. I'm just not used to it, so...so it will be fine after a while." I believe that it has been a year since he came out of the palace, and he has tried hard, but there is no result.
Sighing, Yin Tianqi looked at him with troubled eyes and smiled helplessly, kissed his forehead, patted his buttocks, "Get up, go for a walk."
Xiao Yiran was reluctant, but the warm embrace had already left, he had to get up even if he didn't want to, and he couldn't fall asleep even if he couldn't get up.
"Where are you going?" He raised his head and asked Yin Tianqi to button his collar, then reached out and took the tooth powder that Xiaoqingzi handed over and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Look around, I can only stay here for three days and I have to go back. Next month is the Queen Mother's birthday." Yin Tianqi sighed when he saw that he was obviously unhappy, and took water for him to rinse his mouth.
"Hurry up and go back after finishing the work, I don't feel relieved to leave you alone." Although the child is growing in age and height, he still holds him as a little baby who needs his careful care, Pamper.
With a hum, Xiao Yiran went to wash his face in the basin beside him, then suddenly tilted his head to look at Yin Tianqi, narrowed his eyes, and shook the water from his hands.
"Did something happen in the palace?" He ran over suddenly and left after staying for two days. Even if most of it was to see his relationship, it didn't mean there were no other reasons.
Yin Tianqi laughed softly, knowing that this little thing would react, he raised his hand and took his hand to let him come to his side, looked at his angry look and shook his head, "Concubine Yun is dead."
Xiao Yiran slowly widened his eyes, and looked at him in shock, "Concubine Yun is dead? How did she die? She wasn't..." Halfway through the words, he suddenly closed his mouth, and then took a deep breath, "You killed her?"
"How is it possible, she is still pregnant with "Dragon Son", I am not willing to let her die." Yin Tianqi sneered again and again.
Few people know that the child in Concubine Yun's belly is not a dragon species. Even Concubine Yun herself has doubts. The Queen Mother loves her even more because of her pregnancy. It can even be said that if Concubine Yun If a prince is born, the status of the queen will be threatened.
Xiao Yiran rolled his eyes and hummed softly.
"The queen moved her hands? Calculating the time, Concubine Yun should be six or seven months pregnant. The queen is not that stupid." He only met the queen a few times, but those few times made him feel that Lian Zhilan Not such a stupid woman.
Yin Tianqi looked at him, stretched out his hand and pinched his earlobe, leaned over and whispered something in his ear, Xiao Yiran froze, then turned to look at Yin Tianqi, seeing the malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, he frowned .
"Their hands are stretched too far."
"Yes, that's why they are all dead." Yin Tianqi shrugged and said cold words indifferently.
It is worth it to exchange the lives of three veteran ministers with one concubine and one unborn child.
"...Where is my father?" Now that the veterans in the court have been purged, what about his father?Although he has no feelings, his surname is Xiao after all.In the eyes of outsiders, he is the youngest son of General Xiao's family. If General Xiao is involved in this matter, the others will all be killed, and it is impossible for General Xiao to live alone.Murdering the emperor's heir, this crime will implicate the nine clans.
"Your father? Heh, he's very smart." He motioned to Xiao Qingzi to prepare a meal, "Your eldest brother is now a subject I intend to use again, how could he lose the big because of his smallness."
With a soft snort, Yin Tianqi reached out and took the porridge and handed it to him, signaling him to have breakfast.
Xiao Yiran pursed his lips, but he let go of what he just mentioned.Just don't get him involved.
It is normal for a concubine to die in the palace, but it is abnormal to execute the other two concubines and three ministers after the death of one concubine.So Yin Tianqi ran away, he didn't want to face the queen mother's nagging troubles every day, which made him want to find a reason to imprison the queen mother in the Buddhist hall.
"Master." Ying Xiao came in from the door, interrupting their train of thought, "Cui Yangqi is here, and he brought a lot of gifts."
Xiao Yiran paused while drinking the porridge, tilted his head to look at Yin Tianqi who didn't react as if he didn't hear, raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, "Let him in."
He wanted to see if Cui Yangqi had figured it out tonight.He has always known that Mr. Cui has more ideas than his father, but there are some things he can't help himself.Under what circumstances would his own son choose to go against his father's ideas? He knew that Cui Yangqi was valued by his father.
"Caomin has seen His Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe." Only Cui Yangqi entered the door, and when he saw Yin Tianqi sitting at the dinner table, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowing without delay.
Xiao Yiran was a little surprised, turned his head to look at the man wiping his mouth with a wet towel, and narrowed his eyes.
"Did you do something without telling me?"
No matter how smart Cui Yangqi was, he couldn't recognize Yin Tianqi's identity just by meeting him once. He didn't believe that this guy was so perceptive.
"I slept with you yesterday and didn't do anything, you go ask Yingxiao what's going on." Yin Tianqi put some side dishes in his porridge bowl and raised his eyebrows, Xiao Yiran obediently lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge.
Their voices were not deliberately lowered, so Cui Yangqi heard it clearly, and his body trembled.Pursing his lips and not daring to move, he understood that those words were meant for him.
"Yingxiao, what did you do?" Xiao Yiran glanced at Cui Yangqi, who was kneeling there with his head drooping and sweating from the corners of his forehead, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Returning to the little master, the subordinates just took care of a few followers." Ying Xiao stood aside with a very flat expression, as if he just crushed a few ants to death, it's no big deal.
But the taste changed in Cui Yangqi's ears when he heard these words. He shook his body, kowtowed to Yin Tianqi again, and let out a bang.
"Your Majesty, that's not a grassroots person."
"Well, get up." Yin Tianqi waved him to stand up, this is not a palace, there is no need for people to kneel.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kowtowing again, Cui Yangqi stood up and bowed his waist.
Yin Tianqi turned his head to look at Xiao Yiran, and glared at him.The child curled his lips and reluctantly picked up the bowl and continued to eat, he was already full.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Putting the crystal dumplings on his plate, Yin Tianqi motioned him to eat them, although he was asking, but he didn't even look at Cui Yangqi.
"... Cao Min, I want to talk to His Majesty..." After saying this, he was attacked by a strong internal force, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth after taking a step back.
"Young Master Cui, I don't want to hear that again." Halfway up his eyes, Xiao Yiran snorted softly, picked up the dumpling, stuffed it into his mouth, turned his head to stare at Yin Tianqi with a pouted face, and pouted, "I can't eat any more."
"The last one." Another one was given to him, and Yin Tianqi raised his hand to poke his bulging face, causing Xiao Yiran to stare blankly.
"Young Master Xiao is really hiding something." Raising his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, Cui Yangqi took a deep breath and bowed to Yin Tianqi, "The Caomin came to disturb you this time to ask Your Majesty to spare my father's life."
"Oh? You're telling me, what did your father do that was unreasonable?" Yin Tianqi asked knowingly, since he let Xiao Yiran come here to participate in some shitty martial arts conference, it means that he has figured out the way of Xia Shanfeng. , not to mention the restaurant he opened.
Cui Yangqi pursed his lips, took a deep breath and slowly talked about what his father had done these years, then knelt down again.
"Caomin knows that my father's actions are enough to kill him a hundred times, but he is Caomin's father. Caomin is willing to serve His Majesty, just to let his father live."
He knew that there was no way to make Yin Tianqi believe in him, but he knew better that if he didn't say it, then his father would end up being torn apart by five horses.
Xiao Yiran was quite surprised, he tilted his head to look at the silent Yin Tianqi, and had an idea in his heart.
