After being read by the tyrant, the character of the little cannon fodder completely collapsed

Chapter 33 He is the old fox

Royal Garden.

The Queen Mother was sitting by the window, pruning the broken flower branches in preparation for flower arrangement.

Suddenly, she frowned and clicked two scissors to cut off all the flower branches.

"Queen Mother," Rui Gu bowed calmly and handed over a wet wipe for wiping her hands: "You are not at peace today!"

"Aijia is not the only one who is restless." The Queen Mother took off her finger cots and wiped her hands: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!" "Queen Mother, are you really not going to attend the palace banquet today? "

"The overall situation has been decided, why should the Ai family go?" The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked into the distance, half-smiling: "Tonight is their stage, and everyone is gone. I don't know who is the winner!"

"No matter who wins in the end, Queen Mother, you will be the final winner!"

"That seems to be the case at the moment, but..." The Queen Mother paused and her eyes became a little darker: "The Ai family still likes the current situation!"

She suddenly turned around and called Rui Gu.

"Come, sit down, let's relax."

"Queen Mother, this?"

"Don't be nervous, let's simply drink tea, admire the moon, chat... and wait for the end of the story!"

-

The sun was gradually sinking.

The guests attending the palace banquet entered the palace one after another, and followed the palace people to Mingyue Tower to take their seats.

"Ling Zaifu, congratulations."

"Congratulations to Ling Zaifu!"

"Your Majesty admires Miss Ling of your house, and the Queen Mother also intends to fulfill her wish. The wedding must be coming soon, so I wish you the best of luck in advance."

"..."

The courtiers surrounded Ling Zaifu and congratulated him in unison.

Ling Zaifu hurriedly thanked him, but the expression on his face was mixed.
Ling Xi's warning to him should still ring in his ears. He always felt that there was something weird about the whole thing, but he couldn't explain it, so he had to deal with everyone's congratulations.

[Dad, it’s too early for you to be happy! 】

[Be careful, extreme joy can lead to sorrow, making people laugh! 】

【…】

Ling Xi's cold voice was like a basin of cold water, and the head dropped.

Ling Zaifu quickly got up and looked for him, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't see Ling Xi.

[Dad, this way, don’t look for His Majesty. 】

[Your Majesty is surrounded by people who are famous and respected. How could you possibly find me? 】

【Tsk! 】

[This way, this way!Look here, left, turn, turn, turn again...]

【…】

Ling Zaifu's eyes were dazzled, and he finally found Ling Xi among a group of maids.

She was wearing a light-colored plain dress and was sitting behind a flower tree, covering half of her face with the flowers. She was not eye-catching among a group of maids.

Just as he was about to say hello, Ling Xi shook her head in warning.

[No, don’t let anyone know I’m here! 】

Ling Zaifu had no choice but to calmly deal with the people around him, and when no one was paying attention, he came to her side, turned his back to her, and sat behind her, pretending to be a stranger.

"Xi'er, what are you doing?"

"Why did father say that?"

"Stop making jokes with me! These days, you have been in the palace and you haven't spread the news..."

"I told you," Ling Xi turned her eyes and said seriously: "I asked Eunuch An to tell you that everything is fine and I'm still alive!"

"You are still alive. Do you really think that as a father, I am deaf and blind?" Ling Zaifu took a deep breath: "His Majesty created a cover-up in the palace, pretending to be ill and not going to court. In fact, everyone knows It’s clear that he has left the palace!”

What is your Majesty's identity?
Whatever he said in his sleep could be heard.

How could such a big living person leave the palace without anyone noticing?

"It's just that His Majesty's trip was very secretive and no one in the palace was involved, so no one knew his whereabouts." Ling Zaifu took a breath and lowered his voice: "Xi'er, tell the truth to Dad, you Are you really determined to help him?"

"Father..." "You don't really think that my father has been living and waiting for death all these years, do you?" Ling Zaifu glanced at his daughter and said bitterly: "I just don't want to participate in the party struggle, I don't want to side with the courtiers, and I'm not blind. Blind!"

Ling Xi suddenly understood something.

Yes!

If my father can become a prime minister, he must have real talent and learning.

After he became an official, he only participated in the compilation of classics and did not hold any real power. It seemed that he had a false reputation.

But to take a step back, this is not a wise way to protect yourself! ?
Her eyes were astonished: "Dad, I just realized that you are the old fox..."

"No matter how old a fox is, if he meets a careless little jackal like you, he has to be cautious and accompany you in your deception. Otherwise, our Ling family may really be dragged into the water by you!"

In these years, he has not asked about the important affairs of the court, but just keeps his head down and repairs books.

But now, Ling Xi is involved in the tyrant's right and wrong plan, and he has to go out to fight for a chance for the Ling family.

"Tell me, where did you go when you and His Majesty disappeared? What happened again? How could you be so sick?"

"..."

……

Midday on the moon.

The lights hanging high on the Mingyue Tower reflect each other with the full moon in the sky, connecting the city to the sky.

The eminent monks sat on the high platform, chanted sutras and prayed, and there was a sound of Sanskrit.

Chen Qianzhe, dressed in plain clothes, sat at the front of the high platform. One step further, there was a banquet of courtiers a hundred meters below.

Ling Xi sat below.

[If he fell off such a high platform and landed on his face, his handsome face would be shattered. 】

[If you were buried in the same coffin with me, would I have nightmares if I came back to my senses in the middle of the night? 】

【…】

on the high platform.

Chen Qianzhe couldn't help but sneeze.

Although he tried his best to suppress it, his body still moved.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch An hurried over and whispered: "The night is cold and windy, and your Majesty's dragon body is in urgent need."

"What time is it?"

"It's time."

"It's almost there!" Chen Qianzhe looked at the way he came: "The lonely emperor's uncle should be here soon!"

He saw Ling Xi in the crowd.

They were so far apart that they couldn't see each other's faces, but they still nodded in understanding.

Ling Zaifu was still chattering there, and Ling Xi stood up and patted his father's shoulder gently.

"Dad, I am very happy to hear what you said tonight. If...we still have a father-daughter relationship, I would be willing to share some of the burdens of the Ling family with you!"

"What do you mean? No, His Majesty is up there. Where are you going?"

"Shh!"

Ling Xi suddenly turned around, pressed her lips with her fingers, gave her father a smile, and slowly backed away.

The tyrant prayed on the high platform, while hundreds of officials accompanied him below.

What was originally a lively and noisy singing and dancing party should have turned into a fasting scene.

Ling Xi narrowed her eyes and walked quickly, passing through the crowd and arriving at the backyard of Mingyue Tower.

There were some lazy and dozing servants gathered here, and no one noticed Ling Xi who was walking quickly with his head down.

"Something is wrong with this matter today, and we have to change our plans."

"We have been laying it out for so long, and now we are changing it? Your Majesty, if this happens, everything we have done before will be in vain!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Ling Xi suddenly stopped.

Ling Xinyao!
She is indeed here!

According to the original story line, the heroine and the hero are discussing how to chop off her and the tyrant's heads.
