Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"Three days of confinement will start tomorrow."

"..." Lingyan's expression became clearly flustered, and she hurriedly waved her hands, "Well, there is no bad function, and it will not do you any harm."

"Tell me in detail."

"Well, strictly speaking, this curse includes strengthening the body, isolating the effect of a curse of the same magnitude...Of course, there is also short-term deprivation of body control, strengthening perception and...and... ..”

"And what?"

Qin Ji pressed her shoulder and asked.

"And... well, to a certain extent, the function of enhancing desire..."

Oh.

Qin Ji understood.

Indeed, apart from the deprivation of body control, none of the items are purely negative.However, it is obvious that the curse of Lingyan is a completely strange product.

Body enhancement and perception enhancement are indeed very commonly used in battle. If he is facing an enemy, if Lingyan activates this curse, then his combat effectiveness will naturally be raised to another level on the basis of being already strong enough.However, if paired with the last function.

Okay, you girl is quite good at playing!

"I won't pursue the matter of you putting a curse on me." Qin Ji knew what the function of the curse was, but he didn't punish her in the end, "Remove it for me."

"Master, you... I have never used any function on you other than depriving you of control. Besides, the curse is in your body, and it is also convenient for me to notice whether you are in danger at any time. …”

"Lingyan, I believe you won't harm me, but are these curses really an expression of sincerity and trust to you?"

Qin Ji looked directly at her and asked.He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, hoping that she could come up with a correct answer by herself.

"...No, master."

Lingyan is very clear about the purpose of casting this curse.Although there is part of the mood to protect Qin Ji, but more, he is still worried that the other party will leave him and reject him.

She is very clear about her mistake in doing so, her young master is not an item, moreover, the young master trusts herself a lot, and doing what she does is not a real reply to this trust.

However, the young master is like this, even if he knows about her behavior, he will only choose to be tolerant.This tolerance can sometimes be disturbing.

"I don't think we need this between us. Lingyan, if you want to establish a mutual agreement with me, I will not resist. But this curse is not an agreement."

Qin Ji didn't want to go too far.If it was for other people, this way of secretly casting a curse on others would be unbearable, but Lingyan... He knew very well that this curse came from a fear of losing.

For some people, your presence is everything to her, so the most reliable way she can think of is to find a way to keep you by her side.

This psychological guidance in a good direction is called loyalty to love, but if the direction is wrong, then go straight to Bingjiao.

Blindness is a good attribute in some people's xp, but he has no right, and he is not willing to let a living person go astray in order to satisfy himself.

"I understand, master."

Lingyan lowered her head and said.

"Then, I want to make an agreement with the young master, do you think it's okay?"

"What agreement?"

Qin Ji asked.

Lingyan looked around to make sure there was no one around, then leaned into Qin Ji's ear and whispered in a low voice.

Following her whisper, her normally calm cheeks and the roots of her ears turned red.

"...You think too far." Qin Ji said.

"But it's really the deal I want."

"Okay, I agree."

Not too much of an agreement, he has no reason to refuse.

Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief, then, she solemnly put her hand on Qin Ji's chest, muttering something in a low voice, the black air was drawn from Qin Ji's internal organs, and then returned to Lingyan's body.

However, Qin Ji felt that there was still a part left in his body.

"This part of the curse has nothing to do with usurping your body. It is a curse that can make me aware of your safety and provide you with protection. So..."

"Well, let's keep it."

Qin Ji smiled.

"This way, it's over," Lingyan said, and stepped back, "I'm going to wash my body, young master, do you want to go with me?"

"...you're addicted, aren't you?"

A vein popped out of Qin Ji's forehead.This guy really has a hand in making fire.

"Then I will take my leave first, young master, please rest at ease."

Lingyan left with a happy smile.

Chapter 84 Luncheon

On the day before the new year, which is the end of the year, Daxia ushered in a grand banquet.

In Daxia, this kind of banquet is actually similar to the company's annual meeting, except that Daxia, as a country, has a larger scale of banquets and more luxurious battles.

The banquet time was at noon, Xia Yuxiao was sitting in the main hall, and a sumptuous banquet was arranged in the hall. At this time, all the officials from the central government and county guards from all over the country had already arrived, even those who hadn’t passed by Xia Yu Most of those who could not make it to Tai'an City with Xiao's permission or were busy with political affairs and traveled far away sent congratulatory letters to Xia Yuxiao.

When Qin Ji came to the main hall, most of the people were already seated.

Seeing the Taiwei enter the hall, the sitting ministers stood up to greet him one after another. On the one hand, Qin Ji is now in power, and basically no one dares to neglect; on the other hand, everyone also knows that Qin Ji and His Majesty are engaged Well, in a few months, he will be a serious royal family member. In this way, he will naturally have to be respected in terms of identity.

Of course, in addition to this, Lingyan's status has also changed this time.

Probably because of Qin Ji's thoughts, or because Lingyan is now a big celebrity around His Majesty, quite a few ministers deliberately exchanged a few words with Lingyan.In the face of these people, Lingyan dealt with the past politely according to the method taught by Qin Ji.

Of course, today, there was one more guest who should not have come to the hall.

That is Qin Siyue.

Seeing Qin Siyue's arrival, the atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly became active.Although some ministers were a little upset about Qin Ji, Qin Siyue was the opposite in the eyes of many people. When he was not sick, Qin Siyue's ability and temperament were very pleasing, so everyone liked him. She was very impressed.

"Come here, show the seat to the Taiwei."

Xia Yuxiao pointed to the edge of her table and said.

The attendants at the side immediately moved over a chair and placed it next to Xia Yuxiao.

A grand banquet begins.

........................

At this moment, on one of the tables in the banquet, Ukhya and the envoys of the Saar dynasty were sitting together, drinking wine and tasting food.

Although my old father and the brother who was "good" to her did a good job, they didn't do it completely. When Wuheya left the country and came here to be a proton, they arranged a few things that she had been doing before. More trusted followers and officials followed her.

Of course, it is unknown whether she hopes that these people can take care of her, or whether she hopes to drive out the last of her followers in the royal court.

Naturally, she saw Qin Ji, who was different from other ministers, sitting high next to the emperor's throne, and alone with Lingyan Qin Siyue at the emperor's table.

Immediately, it made people think of "one person attains the Tao, chicken and dog ascend to heaven", although it is not very nice, it is a very appropriate description.

As if he had noticed Wuheya's gaze, Qin Ji saw her from a distance, and then raised his wine glass to gesture in her direction.

Wuheya nodded and returned his respect.

"You have a really good relationship with her." Xia Yuxiao said watching the interaction between the two.

"How should I put it, it's really good. But I can still tell the big picture." Qin Ji thought that Xia Yuxiao was thinking too much, so he quickly added, "In His Majesty's opinion, what about Wuheya?" ?”

"You're good at pretending. Besides, I don't doubt your position in terms of the overall situation." Xia Yuxiao glanced at him, and then continued, "This guy is a bit like me, but not exactly like me."

Your Majesty is talking nonsense again.Qin Ji thought so.

"Where is it like, where is it not like?"

"There is a bit of a similarity in pretending to be a grandson, but she is more aggressive than me."

"She is pretending to be a grandson, can you take it as a real grandson?"

"..."

Xia Yuxiao smiled and stepped hard.

Qin Ji's face was distorted from being trampled on.

"The minister made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Cut," Xia Yuxiao let go of her foot, "However, what you said is indeed true. She wants to restrain her edge, but sometimes, it is disturbing to be too restrained. Fortunately, the Thrall Dynasty is not good at Study these things, otherwise, if it is changed to the environment of Daxia, it will not be as simple as throwing it over as a proton."

Although she didn't have much direct communication with Wuheya, she was not a fool, and it was impossible for her to insert surveillance personnel on Wuheya's side.Wuheya is indeed very low-key to the outside world, at most he just writes notes, and then he usually reads and travels.

However, Wuheya is not such a person. Judging from Wuheya's various behaviors before, she will never give up easily—or, even if she tells herself in her heart to destroy it and give it up, she will never give up completely. decadent.

Therefore, this is indeed a restrained edge, but this restrained edge is really too much.So that it is easy to be noticed.

"If possible, I do intend to bring her to the court to be an official. However, it seems that she should go where she should go. Qin Ji, Wuheya is a wolf or an eagle. After taming , she can be used to help me hunt, but she can't be used as a pet, understand?"

There was joy in her smile.

What she said was very strange, and it even made people feel that it was not something that a decent person should say.Qin Ji knew very early on that Xia Yuxiao's personality was like this.

If this kind of personality and psychology are a bit distorted, then Xia Yuxiao, who was born in the royal family, might have been distorted long ago. Although she rules over the people of Daxia, she who is in charge of people is gradually suppressing herself as a human side.

But......

The more you suppress your human side, the stronger the backlash will be when you release it.Although Qin Ji has rarely seen how she releases her deliberately suppressed side, I am afraid that time will not be too far away.

"Oh, by the way, Qin Ji, help me to toast a glass of wine in a while, and say that I entrust you to toast on my behalf. After all, she will go back soon. Can the future entanglement between the Great Xia and the Saar Dynasty end? It's up to her."

His Majesty the Emperor gave him instructions.

"I understand. Besides, Your Majesty," Qin Ji casually ate two mouthfuls of fish, "after this year, Advisor Cheng will give you a lot of papers, and there should be a lot of papers for him to participate in Advisor Cheng."

Xia Yuxiao's chopsticks stopped.

"What aspects are involved?"

"About the excerpts from Hexi County and other places, from my estimation, this guy knows how to deal with those guys, and he will probably wipe out the gang of wealthy gentry. He once He Siyue said that in Hexi County alone, there have been several suspected organized 'ramming the government office' behaviors, and they were all aimed at him."

"Doesn't this guy know how to take his time when he's working?"

"On this point, I agree with Advisor Cheng's approach. Your Majesty, the gentry everywhere has become a serious problem, and we have used it before. Blindly acting softly will only make some gentry push their noses. They will make trouble Therefore, only by killing a few leaders completely and simply like Advisor Cheng did, will the other gentry not dare to resist the subsequent relatively soft strategy." Qin Ji said.

"I don't think he did a good job," Xia Yuxiao sighed helplessly, "I sent him there just to let him be a knife, but the premise is that he doesn't put his life on the line..."
