Chapter 23 Security
Outside the Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu suddenly had a whim. He already possessed the ability of ice. If there is a chance to copy the ability of Princess Minghe, will these two powers conflict in his body? sky?
At present, this is just an idea. Lin Xiu has no chance to try it, nor does she dare to try it.
At this time, Director Li said next to Lin Xiu: Mr. Lin, the empress and the fourth concubine's palace have already been visited. Next, I will take you to the residence of the ninth concubine...
Lin Xiu's face was pale, and she said to him weakly: Director Li, to tell you the truth, the five palaces have already squeezed me out, and there is no vitality left in my body now.
Manager Li patted himself on the head and said, It's all my fault, how could I have forgotten about this matter.
As he spoke, he took out a jade box made of white jade from his sleeve, opened the jade box, took out a transparent crystal the size of a grain of rice from the box, and handed it to Lin Xiu.
After Lin Xiu took it, he carefully looked at the thing in his hand. It was a rhombus-shaped transparent crystal, which looked smaller than a grain of rice. Thinking of the records he read in the book, Lin Xiu was surprised: Could this be Yuanjing? ?”
Different arts are not exclusive to humans. Other races in this world, as well as some animals, also have special abilities.
People call beasts with special abilities alien beasts, and Yuanjing is the crystallization of Yuanli in the body of Alien Beasts. For humans, this crystallization can be used to restore Yuanli, and can also be used to help awaken abilities again.
The Yuanjing in Lin Xiu's hand was colorless and transparent, obviously it came from the lowest level of strange beasts.
He held the crystal in the palm of his hand, and felt a heat coming from the palm of his hand. When he stretched out his palm again, the colorless rhombic crystal had disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the original energy in Lin Xiu's body became extremely full again.
Lin Xiu still had some complaints in her heart. After all, he was worth hundreds of taels of silver every day. Now that he was summoned to the palace by the emperor, he didn't get paid at all.
Unexpectedly, although there is no money for working for the emperor, there are unexpected gains.
Yuanjing can't help him awaken immediately, but the process of exhausting Yuanli and filling it up in an instant is originally a process of cultivation. Originally, this process was very slow. With Yuanjing, the recovery of Yuanli can be completed in an instant , the role played by this Yuanjing is no less than Lin Xiu's hard work for a day.
In addition to one empress and four concubines, the Great Xia Emperor also had concubines, Jieyu, beauties, and talents. Although the quota for the latter concubines was not as large as that of the empress and four concubines, they could add up to more than one concubine. Lin Xiu squeezed it dry several times.
Fortunately, with the recovery of Yuanjing, one Yuanjing is enough for him to practice for a day. He wished that the emperor would have more concubines and let him prostitute more Yuanjing.
Tired after all, Lin Xiu was still in a good mood after wandering around the emperor's harem for a long time.
In the huge harem, from the concubine to the maid, they are all first-class beauties, Chunlan Qiuju, each with their own characteristics. Even Lin Xiu, who is well-informed and immune to beauties, has to admit, Strolling in the emperor's harem is really eye-catching.
For Lin Xiu today, there are two things that touch me the most.
First, Emperor Daxia is a complete young woman-controller.
There were at least twenty concubines he saw today, and none of them were younger than thirty. Of course, Lin Xiu didn’t say that young women are bad, but all concubines are of the same type, wouldn’t he? Tired?
Second, and the most important point - when the emperor can really do whatever he wants.
As long as it is a woman he likes, he can call into the palace and become his concubine. This makes Lin Xiu very envious. This is no longer galloping. The largest horse farm in Daxia is owned by his family.
The emperor's power was too great, as long as he said a word, countless women rushed to fall into his arms.
As long as he said a word, Lin Xiu would have to give up the business of hundreds of taels of silver every day, and come to the harem to prostitute his concubine for nothing, without paying a penny.
Not even the harem, after serving the concubines in the harem, Lin Xiu was taken to the middle palace again, and began to make endless ice. The ice produced here was first sent to the imperial study room, and later rewarded by the emperor with some ice cubes. Prince Xungui...
He completely regarded Lin Xiu as a tool man.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Lin Xiu was released from the palace.
Although he has been busy for a day and has been drained of energy countless times, his harvest is also huge.
Lin Xiu counted, he had consumed a total of fifteen Yuanjing today, almost enough to cover half a month of his cultivation, Lin Xiu wished for such a good thing to happen every day.
only……
Lin Xiu looked up at the already pitch-black night sky. Since the assassination incident, he would go home before dark every day. If Sun Dali hadn't been waiting for him at the gate of the palace, Lin Xiu would go back like this. danger.
After the suspicion of the Zhao family was ruled out, the identity of the person who ordered Lin Xiu to be assassinated that night became obvious.
Either, she had a deep hatred with Lin Xiu, but Lin Xiu didn't know about it, or she was someone who wanted to marry Zhao Lingjun.
As long as Lin Xiu died and the two marriage contracts were cancelled, they would naturally have a chance.
It's just that there are countless people in Wangdu who want to marry Zhao Lingjun, and Lin Xiu can't pinpoint a certain target at all.
Just as he was hesitating whether to walk back by himself, a familiar fragrance came from behind. Lin Xiu turned around and saw a figure walking from the palace wall.
Spiritual sound?
Why did you come out now?
Lin Xiu didn't see Sun Dali here, but Zhao Lingyin.
Your Majesty just let me out of the palace. Lin Xiu explained and asked tentatively, Are you waiting for me here?
Zhao Lingyin didn't look at him, but said calmly: Go, I'll take you home.
This simple sentence made Lin Xiu feel an incomparable sense of security. Lin Xiu blushed a little for a big man actually relying on a woman to give him a sense of security.
Zhao Lingyin handed over another wooden box.
Lin Xiu took it casually and asked, What is this?
Zhao Lingyin said: The reward for picking the moon tower.
Lin Xiu didn't expect that after he went to the palace, she would actually go to the Yueyue Building for him, but the money had nothing to do with him, he couldn't take it even if he was shameless, Lin Xiu handed the wooden box back , Said: This money should be...
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lingyin waved his hand and said, The whole family doesn't need to worry about these things.
At this point, Lin Xiu could only accept the money silently.
She spoke with an unquestionable determination, if she said no, she would definitely not want it, Lin Xiu sighed softly in her heart, the favor owed to her this time could only be made up for in the future.
But having said that, Lin Xiu lacked everything in his previous life, except money. After two lifetimes, this was the first time he experienced the feeling of eating soft food.
It's no wonder that there are so many pretty girls who are willing to be taken care of by an elderly rich woman. Should I say it or not, Ruanfan is really delicious...
Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin were walking on the street. There was still some time before the curfew, and the street was still very lively. When they passed by a wonton stand on the street, Lin Xiu couldn't help but stop.
He stayed in the palace for a whole day, and only ate a few pieces of cakes brought by Eunuch Li. He didn't feel anything just now, but now he smelled the aroma of wontons, and he couldn't walk anymore.
Lin Xiu sat down at the wonton booth and said, Boss, here are two bowls of wontons.
Zhao Lingyin stood behind him and said flatly, I don't want it.
Lin Xiu didn't turn her head back, and said, I know you don't want it. I ate two bowls by myself. I didn't eat much all day today. I'll go back when I'm full. You can sit here and wait for me...
Lin Xiu has always thought that the food at the roadside stalls is very good, cheap and delicious, and the most important thing is to be full. A meal like that in the Moonlight House costs tens or hundreds of taels of silver, which is too different from his consumption concept.
Even if he has too much money to spend, he won't waste it in that kind of place.
The wonton wrappers at the stall were thin and stuffed. Lin Xiu ate two big bowls one after another. The lady who sold the wontons was smiling. Her customers were usually muddy legs. Eating wontons here is undoubtedly the greatest recognition of her craftsmanship, so the wontons she made for him had more meat than others.
Lin Xiu ate two bowls of wontons for only ten renminbi, and walked home leisurely with Lingyin, thinking it was all about digestion.
Walking on the streets of Wangdu, Lin Xiu suddenly asked, Lingyin, what kind of person is your sister?
Hearing the word sister, Zhao Lingyin's eyes lit up, and she said, She is the best person in the world, and you are not worthy of her now.
Lin Xiu could tell that this little girl seemed to be in love with her elder sister, but what she said was true, her elder sister was the pride of Great Xia, and the current Lin Xiu was indeed not worthy of her.
The Lin family was not far from decline, and even those powerful families who were also in decline would probably not want to marry their daughters to him.
The Zhao family is still willing to admit the marriage contract back then, which is considered a noble character.
Regarding the fiancée's matter, Lin Xiu did not continue to ask. Right now, the Zhao family seems to really regard him as a son-in-law, and her parents are also full of joy. No one cares about his opinion as a party involved.
Presumably, the heavenly girl of the Zhao family is also very troubled by this marriage contract. After all, this is a matter between the two of them. Lin Xiu is all alone, and he intends to wait until she returns to the capital to meet with her and persuade the two families together. Cancel this marriage that should never have existed.
The road back to the Lin Mansion was very long, and the two of them just chatted without saying a word, most of the time Lin Xiu was talking, and Zhao Lingyin would occasionally reply.
But at this time, just a hundred feet behind the two, there were two figures who followed them all the way.
At a certain moment, the two of them stopped, and one of them said: The woman has been by his side all the time, it seems that he can't do anything tonight.
The other person snorted coldly and said, It's all because of Shadow's shocking action last time, which made them more prepared. It should be impossible to attack him again during this period of time. We can only look for opportunities in the future...
If you can't sleep, let's update it.
