It was true. The officials were kneeling down on the ground. They couldn't see their faces, and could only see their butts twitching. Little Flame Fox felt that he could not fully express her central thoughts, so he added: "If it's playing with a kicking can, then it's very good. I wonder if I'll be able to hear the sounds if I kick them one by one. That would be too much. "

Stunned for a moment, Qin Lingmo finally realized that 'kicking out' meant farting. He couldn't help but imagine the scene of the officials releasing their waste gas. That would truly be teaming up, reeking of fumes.

In contrast to Prime Minister Qin's stifled laughter, Cai Liuzhen wasn't so carefree. Along the way, he thought of many things and felt that it would be an insult to Lord Cai to say that he had no idea what was happening, especially when he saw that a few of the officials were missing. However, it was because of this that the sweat on his back never stopped. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down the tip of his nose, smashing onto the jade steps carved with dragons.

In his haste, he could not look too closely, but the missing faces were undoubtedly his own. The Emperor must have wanted to use this as a reason to get rid of his enemies. Last night, the Emperor had announced that he had entered the palace to trap him, so that no one would leak information about his movements.

Was the little emperor going to kill him? Impossible. Even if he relied on Qin Lingmo and some of the general's aides, his faction and influence would not be completely eradicated in a single night.

Cai Liuzhen was clear on this point. He had never underestimated his opponent, and Qin Lingmo must have long since been clear of this. He was just hoping to clear his mind of all matters in one night. Or was this just the beginning of a plot?

He did not know the role of Hu Ying in this, and had long since forgotten about this' coincidental relationship with the Prime Minister '. He felt that Qin Lingmo was simply unfathomable. He was clearly trapped in jail, yet he had a way to send someone to save Bai Yang and the emperor's antidote must be related to him. Just how did he do it?

"Ling Mo, the dishes behind you are still staring at you." The little fire fox on his shoulder turned around and saw Cai Liuzhen, who was following him, forging his gaze into a fire hook and stabbing it into Qin Lingmo's back.

"Let him be." In any case, he wasn't the one who would complain about his red-eyed disease.

"Oh …" The little fire fox yawned, narrowed its eyes, and wrapped its tail around its body, "I'm a little tired, Mo Mo …"

"Sleep for a while." The corner of Qin Lingmo's mouth curled into a smile. He really wanted to reach out and touch Hu Ying, but he could not act rashly in front of her. He could only suppress this thought.

At this moment, the emperor had already ascended the throne room and was sitting on the dragon throne.

Only after the announcement was made, the ministers with their butts sticking out stood up and followed the order to enter the throne room. They stood on both sides of the table.

For a long time, the entire Hall of Golden Chimes was completely silent. Ni Yu quietly sat on the dragon throne with both hands on the armrest, tapping his fingers on the dragon carving.

The underground officials looked at each other. If the emperor didn't speak first, no one would dare to do so. Everyone held their breath and waited. After waiting for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the little emperor yawned and said, "Although it's the fifth fragment of the imperial court, my liaisons have to go out for the night. It's just hard work."

"Your Majesty, you're the one who's afraid of death. Your heart belongs to the Great Nation. It's the blessing of the heavens and the earth …" The court was never short of flattery.

Ni Yu heard him laugh and changed the topic, "Last night, when Cai Aiqing and I were playing chess, we suddenly thought of our founder, Hui Wen Gao Zu. The late emperor once loved to play chess and was a good player in the country. "According to the records of the historical officials, I have fought against an expert from the East Ocean Continent for three days and three nights. In the end, I have achieved complete victory. What a wonderful story."

The court did not know why the emperor was talking about Patriarch Huiwen, so they nodded in agreement.

"I remember that the late emperor once gave an admonition that he is still hanging in the high hall of Mirror Reflection Hall. Do you recognize my beloved daughter?" Ni Yu slightly smiled and looked at Lord Chen, who had been called out.

"Yes, righteous officials of the king. En, the father and son." This meant that the monarch and official had to unify and unite in harmony, just like how a father and son was deeply indebted to their father. This subject will not dare to forget. " Sir Chen, whose name was called, quickly replied with a clasp of his hands. Everyone muttered in their hearts, not daring to show their faces. Cai Liuzhen, who was standing nearby, had an unreadable expression on his face.

"My beloved official is right. The late emperor and his trusted aides united as one. The emperor and his subjects were in harmony, and thus the land of the Northern Tang Dynasty is now vast and fertile."

"Your Majesty's words are extremely correct …"

"Now that the imperial court is at odds, it is likely that I have failed in my duty to disappoint the late emperor and the will of the heavens." Ni Yu's voice trembled as his hand lightly knocked on the armrest.

Sir Chen broke out in cold sweat and pleaded, "This official deserves to die ten thousand times, this official deserves to die a thousand times …"

"Oh? "Since you've already committed a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths, you can go down and receive your punishment." Ni Yu waved his hand and the guards outside the hall immediately came in and surrounded the two of them.

Amidst everyone's stupefied expressions, Sir Chen was dragged out just like that. It was only after a long time that they heard Sir Chen shout from the distance, "Spare me, Your Majesty! Spare me!"

"Who among the officials thinks that they deserve to die so they say it out loud. I shall let the officials accompany Sir Chen."

Qin Lingmo stood there with his hands hanging by his side, but his heart was much calmer. A child like Ni Yu, who had neither the protection of his father nor the care of his mother, had been assassinated countless times since he was young. A child who had grown up like this would either be numb and beg for his life for the sake of protecting it. Either you hurt me an inch and I'll pay you back ten feet.

Obviously, Ni Yu and the others were the latter.

For the Bright Lord, indecision, numbness and cowardice are great sins.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

A few crisp sounds rang out, and several reports were thrown down the stairs, smashing into the ground beside the officials' feet.

"Take a good look! This is the achievement of your support! This is your loyalty to me! Have you forgotten the teachings of the late emperor?! Manipulating power, forming alliances and scheming against the citizens, are you worthy of wearing this official uniform? Are you worthy of being the people of the world?! "

Like a torrential downpour, his words were like a thunderclap that made all the officials tremble in fear. No one dared to lower their heads. If they could, they wouldn't even dare breathe.

On the jade platform, Ni Yu slightly slowed down, slightly raised his head and said, "I have been very ill recently and have not been able to ask about some things. You guys have become lazy. All court officials will be exempt from the March salary for letting these worms in. "Reflect on it!"

The court officials were all subservient, and only Qin Lingmo remained unfazed.

Cai Liuzhen's eyes turned as he stepped out of the concert and reported, "Your majesty, I don't know what sin these vassals committed that caused the emperor to be so angry. Please take care of your dragon body."

"Hmph." Ni Yuren looked down at Cai Liuzhen with a dark and resentful gaze. He could not suppress his anger when he thought about how he would have already died at the hands of Cai Liuzhen if not for the presence of his father-in-law. However, now was not the time to settle the score with him. Everything had to be considered carefully.

"Lord Cai, if there is nothing wrong with your eyes and you are willing to bend down and pick up the imperial report, I believe you will know the reason." Qin Lingmo wore a smile that was not a smile. His uncertain tone made people even more irritated.

Cai Liu Zhen suppressed his emotions and bent down to pick up the imperial report. After reading a few lines, he slammed it shut. He suddenly turned around and glared viciously at Qin Lingmo. But the latter remained calm and unperturbed. She smiled at him, her smile as clear as the wind.

Damn you, Qin Lingmo! This move could shake a mountain and shake a tiger. You've won by following the vines and touching the melons! But these are just the tip of the iceberg, we'll see!

After leaving the imperial palace, Qin Manor's carriage was already waiting outside the entrance. Ming Yan stretched his neck to look around. When he saw Qin Lingmo walking over, he hurriedly lifted the horse stool and lifted the curtain.

"Master, you're finally alright now. I've missed you so much!" Ming Yan's face was full of grievance, as if he was the one being escorted into the clan's manor.

Qin Lingmo sat properly in the carriage, he raised his head and scolded with a bitter smile, "Enough! My nose is almost running out. Let's hurry up and go. "

"Alright!" Ming Yan lowered the curtain, jumped onto the carriage, and shook the reins.

When the horse's hooves stepped on the limestone, a clear and melodious sound could be heard. The crabapple blossoms on the side of the official road fell like the setting sun. The dark red light powder spread over the ground, forming a few distinct ruts on the wheels. Gradually, they disappeared into the distance.

Qin Lingmo closed his eyes and looked at his shoulder. The little fire fox was long gone. Startled, he looked around, and when his eyes met his waist, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that Hu Ying had been sleeping very soundly. Thus, she rolled down from Prime Minister Qin's shoulder. In order to continue sleeping without falling down and being stomped into a fox's cake, she bit the jade belt hook on Qin Lingmo's waist. If anyone saw it, they would have thought that Qin Xiang had a fox's waist ornament.

"Oh you, you …" He shook his head and gently stroked the soft fur of the little fox, his fingers playing with her thick, fluffy ears.

"Master, a depressing matter has occurred at home." Through the curtain came the muffled sound of the smoke.

"Oh?"

"Hu Qi suddenly died and collapsed in a small alley in the back street. He held a piece of silver in his hand and looked at both the yamen and the coroner. I don't know why he died, but we can forget about it."

Qin Lingmo pondered for a moment before guessing the reason.

This branch of the Hu family must have received the benefits from Cai Liuzhen and placed five scattered stones in Qin Manor to frame Qin Guan. Since he could be bought once, it wouldn't be hard for him to be bought again. He believed that Cai Liuzhen must have been very cautious since he was killed not long after this matter was concluded.

However, this matter had already come to an end. Regardless of how deep the waters were or how dark the shadows were behind the scenes, so far, everything had been calm and peaceful.

"Let's bury her now, give Hua a few more months' money."

"Yes."

Qin Lingmo lowered his head once more and saw that the little fire fox was still sleeping soundly. From time to time, he would shake his fluffy ears. His simple-minded appearance made people unable to restrain their laughter. His heart warmed. He wanted to hug the little fire fox to sleep more comfortably.

He pulled, but did not move …

He pulled again, but he still didn't move …

Triple Pull...

Hu Ying was furious, in her dreams she raised her claws and slapped them fiercely a few times: "Who's fighting with me over the Jade! He didn't want to live anymore! "Look at my Nine Yin White Bone Claw!"

After he finished venting his anger, he went back to sleep while biting the jade hook. On Qin Lingmo's handsome face, there were a few criss-crossing lines. It was quite the heroic look of a Hami melon with network lines that were sent to him from the border.

"Hu Ying!" Get up, get up! "

"Master?" Master! What's the matter with you? "

"..." It's nothing. I had a nightmare. "

"Oh my god!" How did this grandpa end up in a nightmare? "Why is there a scar on your face?"

"We crashed into a car. Can't we?"

"No, I was just curious. The lines on your face, from what I can see, it's definitely from the eight great clans' painting techniques, hmm … The quality of it is quite expensive. " In his free time, Ming Yan had read a few books about appreciation for famous people. At this moment, he pretended to be a celebrity and pinched his chin to appraise the face of his young master, who was scratching his head.

"..." I'll let you have a blabbermouth. " Qin Ling Mo's face darkened. He raised his leg and prepared to kick. Ming Yan quickly turned around and whipped his horse. Qin Lingmo lost his balance and fell back into the carriage.

On the way back to the Qin Residence, Hu Ying laid in the Prime Minister's embrace, laughing, scolding and begging for mercy.
