Chapter 93 Lee's Dog Walking Manual
When Li Xingluo heard that Qin Muye wanted Wu Lu to obey him, the scene of the two of them fighting naked subconsciously appeared in his mind.

But he soon realized that Qin Muye didn't know that Wu Lu was himself, and the so-called "obeying him" was just changing a boss, not that kind of unbearable "obeying".

How did I come up with these?

Li Xingluo had a slight headache and took several deep breaths before clearing his mind.

Qin Muye noticed her strange behavior and asked curiously, "Princess Di! Are you reluctant to give it up?"

"Of course not!"

Li Xingluo shook his head and explained with a smile: "Wulu didn't sell herself to me. It's her freedom to go wherever she wants. Besides, we are friends. It doesn't make any difference whether she is in Diji Mansion or Zhennan Mansion. But she is a casual person, and I often can't contact her, so please bear with her in the future, Your Highness."

"Oh……"

Qin Muye seemed to be thinking about something. He knew that these two were the same person, so he would not even consider the question of whether to give up or not.

He was only curious about Li Xingluo's condition.

Li Xingluo's current condition is definitely abnormal, and this abnormality is most likely due to the totem source qi.

What effects does this thing have?
His mind is full of questions now. It is almost a consensus that totem source energy cannot be refined by humans, but two people can do it.

If it weren't for the fact that the former queen and his biological mother both had clear identities, he would even suspect that he had some blood relationship with Li Xingluo.

So, why is this happening?
Take a step back and think about it.

Since Li Xingluo led herself to face so many fourth-rank masters in the secret realm, she should have been prepared to face the emperor. The emperor knew that she had the totem source energy in her hands, but she still refined it.

So the emperor knew that she could refine it.

Did the emperor know that he could also refine it?
Enthusiastic horse.

It feels like things are so complicated.

We can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover us.

While they were thinking, the two of them had already arrived at the reception room and sat down.

Li Xingluo regained his usual dignity and asked with a smile, "I heard from the concierge that the prince brought the remains of the puppet here?"

Qin Muye smiled and nodded: "This time, thanks to the puppets provided by the princess, we were able to win a great victory. I would also like to trouble the puppet master in the mansion to repair them. If possible, please erase the master recognition information in the spirit core. The price is negotiable."

"It's just a trivial matter. Given our friendship, don't mention such vulgar things as money."

Li Xingluo smiled faintly: "But whether the information of recognition can be erased, I still need to ask Taoist Kongxu for confirmation. My lord, just put down the body, and I will send someone to send it back to the mansion after it is repaired."

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Muye thanked him with a smile, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then stood up to say goodbye.

Li Xingluo behaved in a dignified and proper manner. He personally stood up and saw Qin Muye off all the way to the gate, and even stopped to watch Qin Muye go away.

Qin Muye mounted the Lingxi Dragon Horse and looked at Li Xingluo again before leaving.

This princess, without a vest, is still so dignified, generous and elegant.

After putting on the vest of Wu Lu, he seems to be free and casual.

I don't know what she really looks like.

along the way.

Lingxi Longju Ma chattered, "Brother! Are you sure you don't want to have a thrilling cavalry battle with Princess Di? Wouldn't it be a waste of my cultivation to become a half-step great demon?"

Qin Muye rubbed his head: "I know you are a half-step great demon!"

Lingxi Longju: “…”

Qin Muye changed the subject: "But others don't know yet! Why is your voice so soft? Did your vocal cords fall at home?"

Lingxi Longju: “…”

An Nanwei: "..."

People on the roadside: "..."

Inside the princess's mansion.

Pu Mingzhu asked curiously, "Princess Di! Why do you want to use your identity as Wu Lu to serve as a retainer for Qin Muye?"

Li Xingluo smiled faintly and didn't explain too much: "This person is very interesting, and... doesn't my father want me to have more contact with the Qin family?"

Pu Mingzhu seemed to be thinking: "So..."

Li Xingluo turned around and went back to the room: "Mammy! Help me change my clothes and go to the palace to see my father."

"Yes!"

Pu Mingzhu nodded, then went into the room with Li Xingluo and picked out the most elegant palace dress.

Then he skillfully took off her clothes.

Li Xingluo looked at his own body in the mirror and suddenly asked, "Mammy, you have the strength of a great master, but you have always served by my side, taking care of my daily life and changing my clothes since I was a child. Don't you feel wronged?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Pu Mingzhu had a kind smile on his face: "I was originally a maid of the young lady, but she treated me like her own sister. If I hadn't been able to learn the Pu family's family tradition, how could I have achieved the third rank?

The so-called grand master may be a realm of cultivation that is out of reach for ordinary people.

But for me, it is no different from changing clothes and feeding. As long as I can help the young lady and the Goddess, it is my blessing. "

The young lady she was referring to was Li Xingluo’s mother and Li Hong’s first queen—Queen Pu!

"Thank you, mama."

Li Xingluo was somewhat moved. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Madam, what kind of person is my mother?"

Pu Mingzhu showed a nostalgic look: "Young lady... she is really a very good person. As a wife, she is gentle and virtuous. As a queen, she is a model for the country. As a mother, she is gentle but strong. Back then, the little prince..."

Her voice was trembling.

When he mentioned the "little prince", he was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

Li Xingluo sighed secretly. She knew that she had a brother, but she had never met him because the accident happened before she was out of confinement.

My brother, who is six years older than me, has never had the chance to see me.

I still have a vague impression of my mother.

But my brother only left a name, and even when I imagined my family last night, he couldn't grab a place.

Think about this.

A murderous intent suddenly surged in Li Xingluo's heart, and he wanted to kill all the people or monsters who had caused his misfortune.

Pu Mingzhu suddenly shuddered: "Empress, you..."

Li Xingluo smiled and shook his head: "It's okay! I just refined the totem source energy and I was a little out of control. Ma'am, you should take a rest first. I'm going to the palace."

Say it.

She lifted her skirt slightly and walked out of the door quickly.

Pu Mingzhu looked at her back, as if he saw the shadow of an old friend, and was a little dazed for a moment.

……

Xiangfu.

As soon as Shen Kui finished practicing the health-preserving boxing, he sat by the pond and started fishing leisurely.

After a while, ripples began to appear on the water surface.

He lifted up the fishing rod, but found it was just a small fish, so he pulled it off the hook and threw it back into the pond.

Wang Shu sighed softly, "My husband, this pond is so small, the fish can't grow big. Jin'er is not young anymore, you should teach him some real things. After the imperial examination, a large group of playboys from aristocratic families and evil officials will come to him. If you don't stop them, this child will be really useless."

Shen Kui shook his head and smiled: "Madam, that is a Siamese zebrafish, it can only grow that big at most."

Wang Shu: “…”

She felt a little aggrieved: "But, but..."

Shen Kui took her hand and patted it gently: "Everyone has his own way of living. Jin'er likes to play, so let him play."

Wang Shu shook her head and wanted to refute something.

But then Shen Luo came running over in a hurry.

"mother!"

Shen Luo saluted Wang Shu, then looked at Shen Kui anxiously: "Dad! Just now..."

Shen Kui smiled and said, "Let me guess, did the major clans send someone to look for you?"

"Dad! You are so predictable!"

"What do they want from you?"

"They came to me and wanted me to persuade you. Now the Qin family has the intention of rebellion. The princess holds important positions but has a lack of moral integrity. I don't know what is a villain and what is a wise minister. They want you to come forward to persuade Your Majesty."

"Oh? Interesting!"

Shen Kui smiled and said, "What they mean is that they are wise ministers?"

Shen Luo grinned: "According to what they said, that should be it."

Shen Kui asked in return: "Since they are wise ministers, why don't they tell Your Majesty about this kind of loyal advice themselves?"

Shen Luo said helplessly: "I asked them the same thing, but they said that their words were insignificant and that His Majesty might not listen to them."

"My words are not taken seriously?"

Shen Kui sneered and said, "When they open their mouths, it's like a thousand-pound rock pressing down on my old bones. How can I tell that my words are of little weight?"

Shen Luo rubbed his hands: "Dad! It's useless for you to tell me this. I told them that you are still recovering from your illness. This excuse is fine once or twice, but if you use it again, they will come and break into the door themselves."

Shen Qi did not answer.

Instead, he looked at Shen Luo with a smile: "Luo'er, put yourself in their shoes and guess what they are afraid of?"

Shen Luo pondered for a moment: "Empress Di has repeatedly taken action. Although it is aimed at the evil official group, she has no mercy on the people of the noble family. Now Princess Di is acting more and more radically. Sooner or later, the fire will burn them."

"Then what do you think they should do to prevent future troubles?"

"The princess is dead?"

"Can the princess die?"

"Of course I can't!"

"So what should they do?"

"...Using my father's hand, I suppressed the princess and supported the prince to ascend to the throne."

"How can we support him? What achievements can the prince rely on to rise to power?"

"..."

Shen Luo paused, as if he had figured out the key to the problem.

Although the crown prince is the legitimate heir to the throne, his position has never been stable.

It was because the new laws he proposed were constantly opposed in the court.

The main purpose of this new law is to move most of the positions occupied by "recommending officials" to prefectures and counties, and more than half of them will be placed in county schools, allowing them to prove their abilities through political achievements before returning to the capital.

Although the method was quite gentle, it was intended to allow wealthy families to provide teaching resources to ordinary people, which naturally met with widespread opposition.

and so.

Father wants me to convince them to support the Crown Prince's new law?
and many more!

Shen Luo suddenly remembered that the prince's most capable official in the new law was once a student of Shen Kui.

This……

He suddenly became excited: "Dad! So you are..."

Halfway through his words, he held back the word "princelings".

Because he suddenly remembered that his father had just said that he was not the prime minister of the aristocratic family, nor the prime minister of the emperor, nor the prime minister of the crown prince and princess.

If you ask your father whether he is a princeling, you will definitely be scolded severely.

The reason for being close to the aristocratic families is that the phase requires the support of the aristocratic families.

The reason why he was close to the crown prince was because he had different political views from the princess. All his actions could make it look like he was speaking for someone.

But in the final analysis, it is just to realize one's own political ambitions.

Shen Luo took a deep breath: "Dad! I know what to do."

Shen Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Go!"

Watch Shen Luo leave.

Shen Kui smiled and looked at Wang Shu: "Look! With Luo'er as a big brother, Jin'er won't have to worry about her life."

Wang Shu was silent for a long time and could only nod.

……

Yongqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince comes to pay his respects."

"Let him in!"

Li Hong still looked like the elegant middleman.

On the desk, memorials were piled high.

But in his hand, it looked less like a memorial and more like a poem or song by a famous writer.

After a while.

Li Zhixuan walked forward with a square step and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father!"

"No gift!"

Li Hong smiled warmly, glanced at Li Zhixuan's tired face, and asked with concern: "Why is Zhixuan so haggard? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Li Zhixuan quickly leaned forward and said, "Some things have been piling up in my mind, and I can't let them go, so I forgot the time."

Li Hong smiled and asked, "So you came here so early today just for these things, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then please sit down and talk slowly."

"My son...you'd better stand!"

Li Zhixuan took a deep breath and said, "Father, I may have some petty intentions in what I am going to say. If there is anything wrong with what I say, please don't blame me."

"Don't blame me, just say it!"

"Father! I feel that your Highness has acted inappropriately in this imperial examination."

"Oh?"

Li Hong put down the memorial and seemed to be interested: "What's wrong with it?"

Li Zhixuan bowed even lower: "Xingluo has always had a grudge against the Demonic Officials Group because of the death of his mother and brother. The recent case of Ri Huhuan also showed that the Demonic Officials Group was getting carried away and they really should be punished.

However, the evil official has made contributions after all, and will still be of great use to Daqian in the future, so it is far from the time to punish him.

Last time, Xingluo beat them up, so please give them a sweet reward, father.

But in this imperial examination, Xing Luo not only defeated the opponent again, but also snatched away most of the sweet dates.

This... I think this is not conducive to national stability."

"Xingluo's actions are indeed a bit radical."

Li Hong smiled faintly: "But if you want to hit her with a big stick, it will be effective only if it hurts. She just needs to do her duty as a minister, and there are other candidates to give her the sweet dates."

Hear this.

Li Zhixuan's heart beat violently. There was someone else who gave the sweet dates to him. Doesn't that mean...

He had heard Li Hong tell him more than once that a ruler, especially one in a chaotic situation, needed to have the means to control all forces in the court and the country.

Now it seems that Li Xingluo, who offended the evil official group to death, is not such a candidate.

If I give the sweet dates myself, doesn't it prove that I am the qualified crown prince in my father's mind?

He suddenly figured out some things.

There are a total of three great scholars who taught Hu Huan in the Demon Academy. Two of them were his former teachers, and one is now the Prince's Tutor. Now in the Demon Academy, in addition to Hu Huan, there are seven demon officials who have committed crimes in local prefectures and counties.

Among his own officials, quite a few with outstanding abilities were once students of Shen Kui.

Although those aristocratic families opposed the new law, they were far from radical, and even encouraged their young men to serve as officials in the Prince's Palace.

This……

Li Zhixuan suddenly felt that he didn't need to be so anxious before.

But he still has two knots in his heart. If he doesn't untie them...

He hesitated for a moment and continued, "There is one more thing. I think the puppet controlled by Qin Muye this time deserves to be treated as a national treasure. And that great master craftsman deserves to hold an important position to serve my father, and should not be condescended to in the Princess's mansion to seek personal wealth and profit."

Li Hong said solemnly, "Such a valuable weapon should indeed be nationalized. But such a great man always has some arrogance. My father has sent someone to contact him, and is willing to take the position of the Minister of Works. It's a pity that Taoist Kongxu has a great grudge against the demon clan, and he also regards Xingluo as a confidant. He wants him to work for the court, but it's not advisable to rush it, and we should take it slowly."

Li Zhixuan immediately felt relieved.

It turns out that my father had already prepared a plan!
Also.

No king could bear not to nationalize such an important weapon.

However, my father is willing to directly offer the position of Vice Minister of Works as the price, which seems to show that he really values ​​this Taoist Master Kongxu.

This Taoist priest was really ignorant. In order to take revenge on the evil officials, he even dared to refuse the emperor.

Li Hong asked again: "Are these the only two questions?"

Li Zhixuan: "..."

He himself felt a little embarrassed.

But he still said hesitantly: "Father! I remember you once said that no matter when, the Qin family is the most loyal minister of Daqian, but why yesterday..."

"Some people are afraid that the Qin family is too powerful, so we naturally have to appease them."

Li Hong was a little disappointed: "Such a simple truth, how come you still don't understand it?"

Li Zhixuan bowed quickly: "Your son is stupid. The water in Kyoto has been too muddy these days, so it is inevitable that I am blinded by one leaf..."

It's not that he doesn't understand.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Crown Prince and the Princess are fighting each other in the eyes of outsiders, and the Qin family is also under suspicion.

But in fact, Li Hong would tell him everything in private, and he told him more than once that Qin Kaijiang was undoubtedly a loyal minister, and even if he had powerful troops, he would never have any intention of rebellion.

It is because of this that Li Hong gave Qin Kaijiang such great power.

The reason for those rumors is to make certain forces relax their vigilance.

But he was still uneasy.

It’s not because the Qin family is too powerful in the southwest.

But... in recent days, Li Hong seems to have been pushing the Qin family towards the Emperor's Mansion.

But he didn't dare say such words.

Because he asked two questions about Li Xingluo in a row.

To bring up a third one would be crossing the line.

"Any questions?"

Li Hong's tone was still gentle.

Li Zhixuan quickly shook his head: "Father, I have no problem with this son."

Li Hong smiled and waved his hand: "In that case, go back and have a rest. You may have a lot of things to do in the next few days."

A lot of things.

Li Zhixuan understood in his heart that it should be the promotion of the new law. Li Xingluo did not do nothing good this time. At least he opened a gap on the side of the aristocratic families. As long as the new law can be implemented, his status in his father's heart will definitely rise to a higher level.

However, the relationship between the Qin family and the Princess's Mansion still made him feel a little resentful.

But he could only bow and say, "I'll take my leave! Father, please take care of your health."

"and many more!"

"Father, please give your orders!"

"You are not young anymore, but the position of Crown Princess has been vacant. Your father has a marriage proposal for you. Do you have any idea?"

"Which lady is it?"

"Qin family, Qin Mingyu!"

"!!!"

Li Zhixuan was so happy. Although Qin Mingyu was born out of wedlock, she was the best of the younger generation in the Qin family. Qin Kaijiang entrusted him with important tasks at such a young age. If he married her, he would be really secure.

Li Hong looked at him with a half-smile: "But your father has promised Qin Kaijiang that he will not interfere with the marriage of the young people in the Qin family, so you still need to get Qin Mingyu's approval. Qin Mingyu will come in the spring of next year, and your father will arrange an opportunity for you to spend time with her. During this period of time, you should practice diligently. If you still can't grasp it, you can only blame yourself."

"Don't worry, Father! I will never embarrass you."

Li Zhixuan was very excited.

Li Hong watched him leave, shook his head and smiled, then continued to review memorials.

Less than an incense stick of time had passed.

Eunuch Hong's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, the princess requests an audience."

"I'll go pick her up!"

Li Hong smiled, put down the memorial, put on a cotton cloak, and walked straight out of the hall.

Li Xingluo was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When he saw Li Hong coming to greet him personally, he was startled and hurried forward to support him: "Father! Why are you here in person? Be careful with your steps..."

"Hahahaha!"

Li Hong laughed heartily and held his daughter's wrist affectionately: "Xingluo, you have just done a great deed, and you deserve your father to come and greet you. It's cold outside, come with your father into the palace."

Li Xingluo pursed her lips and quickly followed him into the palace.

Just walked in the door.

She knelt down and said, "Father! I am guilty!"

Li Hong helped her up with a warm smile: "What you mean by guilty? Did you use a fake identity to take the imperial examination and sneak into the secret realm?"

Li Xingluo lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake: "You really know everything. I acted without your permission and snatched the totem source energy from the demon official, and even refined it. It is really a heinous crime..."

"That's wrong!"

Li Hong interrupted with a smile, looking at her with eyes full of pride: "The secret method of refining totem source qi was originally given to you by your father. As a princess, what does it matter if you refine a few totem source qi? Besides, no one has ever said that this totem source qi belongs to the demon official. You got it yourself with your own ability, so it should be yours!"

Li Xingluo was somewhat flattered: "Father! You really don't blame me?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "How can your father blame you? But you still have to be careful not to let the royal family know that it is your fake identity, otherwise it will be difficult to fool people."

"Don't worry, Father. I will be careful."

Li Xingluo nodded. Although it was the emperor who decided how to use the totem source energy, it was the royal family who decided whether to release the totem source energy.

It was Li Hong who tried his best to get the last strand of totem energy to him without anyone noticing.

"Yeah!"

Li Hong did not hide the affection in his eyes: "What my father has been unable to do for so many years, you have accomplished so well. Finally, someone can eradicate the stubborn disease of the evil official group.

Now that the Qin family and Taoist Kongxu share the same interests as you, with two sharp swords in hand, it is a good time for you to make progress.

Whatever you want to do, just do it!

I am old!

Today's Daqian needs an iron-blooded emperor!"

Li Xingluo: “…”
