The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 55 Don't move around.

Jin Qi was a little afraid that Lin Xu would know, but deep down in his heart he wanted him to know about it, because it was not easy to hide it from Lin Xu.

Jin Qi went to the side to take his clothes, he looked at Lin Xu during his movements, he opened his mouth a little hesitantly, wanted to say but didn't know how to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Jin Qi didn't speak, but Lin Xu asked first.

Lin Xu walked to the side, and after a while, he found a drawer behind the screen at the back of the side hall, which contained some ointments.

Even though Lin Xu has now entered the court as an official, he has not lost his daily practice, so the prime minister's mansion is still the same as in his house before, and wound medicines are prepared in many places.

"You don't seem to be surprised..." When Lin Xu came out from behind the screen, Jin Qi was looking down at the healed wound on his body. His face was hidden in the shadow, making it hard to see his face at this moment. expression.

Lin Xu walked towards Jin Qi, and he glanced at the scars on Jin Qi's body that almost covered his whole body, "Although no one in the palace dares to mention what happened back then, it doesn't mean that everyone who knew about it is no longer alive. "

When Jin Qi was young, because of his mother, he was not favored by the emperor, and even hated by him. It was the concubine Li who was favored at that time who adopted him.

It's just an adoption in name, but Concubine Li is not the kind of person who will take care of other concubines' children seriously. Adopting Jin Qi is just the last way out of Jin Qi.

Jin Qi is the prince after all, although he is not liked but it does not change his bloodline, and there are a lot of concubines in the palace who failed to give birth to children, if he is left alone like that, it will be a disaster sooner or later, so Concubine Li adopted him he.

After Concubine Li adopted Jin Qi, although she treated Jin Qi equally on the face, she also knew that she already had two sons. He couldn't really treat Jin Qi as his own child, otherwise it would be impossible for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to dare Bully Jin Qi.

It was rumored that it was cold-blooded and merciless for Jin Qi to kill Concubine Li mercilessly after registration, but those who knew Jin Qi's situation did not think so, at least Xu Lan never thought so.

Lin Xu has been in the court for so many years, and has been in close contact with Xu Lan for several years, so he can somewhat guess some things from that year from Xu Lan's attitude.

When Jin Qi heard the words, he quickly figured out the meaning of Lin Xu's words, "That's true."

Afterwards, although the court was changed, there were not many eunuchs and maids left in the palace, but not all of them were killed.

Hearing Lin Xu's answer, Jin Qi nodded, and his nervous heart gradually relaxed. If it was because of this reason, it would not be impossible.

In this way, Lin Xu probably doesn't know his identity yet, but just heard some things about that year from outsiders.

Lin Xu, who returned to Jin Qi's side, saw that Jin Qi had put on his clothes, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Put on clothes." Jin Qi took his coat and was about to put it on. When he was asked, he looked back and saw the medicine in Lin Xu's hand. Jin Qi coughed lightly, "I'll go back and apply the medicine myself."

Although Lin Xu didn't show anything because of the wounds on his body, Jin Qi was relieved, but Jin Qi still couldn't accept the thought that all the wounds on his body were exposed to Lin Xu's eyes.

"Can the emperor touch the wound by himself? Come and lie down." Lin Xu pointed to the short one not far behind the screen, and there was an irresistible command in his calm eyes.

Jin Qi's injury was at the back of his waist, and he had to turn sideways to see it, so it was even more inconvenient to apply medicine.

Jin Qi still had some resistance in his heart, but he walked over obediently. He walked to the dwarf pointed by Lin Xu and sat down.

"Lie down." Lin Xu walked to him and sat down. He lifted Jin Qi's clothes, revealing the bleeding wound.

A cut from a log is not the same as a cut from a sharp knife. A cut from a log is much wider, not as deep, but harder to scab over.

Jin Qi looked back over his shoulder and saw that it was really inconvenient for Lin Xu to take the medicine, so he obediently lay down on the couch, Jin Qi twisted his buttocks awkwardly after laying down.

Lin Xu neatly dressed

He was sitting in the back, but he was lying on his stomach with his clothes lifted up. No matter how you looked at this scene, it was a bit strange.

Jin Qi was awkward, when someone slapped his ass suddenly, Lin Xu, who had already unscrewed the medicine bottle, slapped Jin Qi's buttocks, the last medicine was so dishonest.

"What are you doing?" Sensing Lin Xu's movements, Jin Qi's head was congested instantly. While struggling to sit up, he raised his hand to cover the place where he was beaten.

Jin Qi was often beaten when he was a child, but that was different from this.

"Don't move around." Lin Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and his eyes were full of disapproval with his frowning.

Jin Qi held his breath and glared at Lin Xu fiercely. He looked at Lin Xu suspiciously, and after looking at Lin Xu for a long time without being able to see anything else in his eyes, he turned around stiffly and lay down again. .

Lie down again, Jin Qi tried his best to calm himself down, in fact, he was thinking too much, after all, every time something related to Lin Xu, he was always unable to calm down.

Jin Qi tried to comfort himself and pretended to be a piece of wood, but Lin Xu couldn't help curling his lips after he turned his head.

Lin Xu stuck the medicine on his hand, and then gently stroked the wound. The wound was not deep, and it was not difficult to apply the medicine. Lin Xu's fingers slowly slid along the wound, covering the wound in just a moment. medicine.

The wound stopped bleeding, but Lin Xu didn't just put away the ointment. He moved his gaze up the new wound and looked at the other wounds on Jin Qi's body.

There are many wounds on Jin Qi's body. Lin Xu, who is quite familiar with the wounds, can easily see at least three kinds of wounds from them, burns, cuts, and wounds. Besides, there are many other wounds that Lin Xu can identify at once. not come out.

These wounds spread all over Jin Qi's body where he couldn't see it when he put on clothes, and without exception, they were all old wounds, and the wounds had healed for a long time, leaving only a series of hideous scars that were still uneven.

"Will it still hurt?" Lin Xu's voice was a little low. If Jin Qi wasn't upset at the moment, he would definitely be able to hear it, but Jin Qi's full attention was on Lin Xubing's cold fingers at the moment, so that He had no time to distract himself from anything else.

Jin Qi had already noticed that Lin Xu's fingers had slid along the wound to those wounds on his back, and those wounds had long since ceased to hurt. When Lin Xu's slightly cold fingers slid on them, there was only a cold and tingling sensation. Jin Qi had to use all his strength to restrain himself from trembling.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jin Qi said.

These wounds have been healed for more than ten years, how could they still hurt?

Moreover, although Concubine Li's family always took revenge on him, he was still a prince after all, and he didn't dare to use capital punishment on him, so most of them were superficial injuries, the kind specially used to torture people.

"I'm asking about the waist." Lin Xu withdrew his fingers and covered the medicine.

The mood was really complicated. Jin Qi turned his head when he heard the words, and it seemed that Lin Xu had got up and walked aside at some point, about to put the medicine back. He became a little annoyed instantly, "It doesn't hurt!"

It's rare for this guy Lin Xu to care about him. Is it so difficult to say a few nice words?

"The past is in the past." Lin Xu said as he put the medicine into the box with his back to Jin Qi.

The angry Jin Qi was stunned when he heard the words, he laughed silently, he doesn't care about this matter now, after all, those who did these things at the beginning have already paid the price, and they have all reported to Lord Yan.

After taking the medicine, Jin Qi left without waiting for dinner. After encountering such a thing, he had no intention of staying any longer. The other party actually took advantage of Lin Xu. He would never let the debt be taken lightly like this!

When Jin Qi returned to the palace, he immediately summoned the relevant personnel in the palace, and after a furious meal, he transferred all the guards who had contact with Lin Xu from the court.

The other party can design the guards in the palace to go to Lin Xu to trick him into leaving home, watching TV and knowing Lin Xu's actions very well, this can only be done by people in the palace who have had contact with him.

The next day, when Lin Xuyu entered the palace again for business, he saw strange faces around him, and he understood it almost immediately.

Lin Xu didn't bother with this matter, if he didn't

If Jin Qi makes a move, he will do the same. Even if the opponent's goal is not him, it is not his style to leave such hidden dangers.

After the early court ended, Xu Lan quickly found him. He came prepared and brought with him the information about court clothes that Jin Qi had asked him to investigate.

"I investigated overnight and found that the accounts of the Shangyi Bureau were obviously wrong." Xu Lan took out an account from the side and put it in front of Lin Xu while speaking, and pointed out several of them.

There are obviously traces of modification in a few places, and the overall accounts are a bit strange, and it doesn't match up at all if you calculate it carefully.

"After I found out something was wrong, I asked the person in charge of the management, and the other party insisted that it was stolen." Xu Lan said.

"Stolen?" Lin Xu's face was indifferent, but he sneered in his heart. It was clearly recorded in the account that the raw materials were stolen, but the other party was wearing a real court dress. Why didn't they simply say that the beautiful girl who sewed the clothes was also stolen? .

"The only people in the palace who know the full set of acupuncture methods for court clothes are a few maids in charge, and I'm currently interrogating them one by one," Xu Lan said.

"What about the guard?" Lin Xu asked, the guard who called him before was also a clue.

"I'm afraid this can't be investigated. There is nothing wrong with the guard himself. It should be that the person he sent the order to was a fake, and the other party was obviously disguised, because the real body was on duty in other places in the palace at that time, and there were several witnesses." Xu Lan I have already investigated this, but this clue did not find anything useful. The only thing I know is that the other party seems to be very aware of the information about the guards in the palace.

Lin Xu pinched the bridge of his nose, showing a rare bit of fatigue. The other party grew much deeper than he expected, and the power behind him was also greater than he expected. He originally thought that the other party was just He Zheng and the others The rest of the party, now it seems that if we continue to investigate along this line, we may be able to catch a large group of people.
