Chapter 148 The Xiao Family's Stubbornness Will Not Change

                                    

                                          
"Xiao Shenzhi, you came at the right time."
Xiao Chi sprained his foot and was carried over in a soft sedan by two Imperial Guards.
Cai Tianxi thought that he had watched Yin Ji grow up, so he was considered an elder. If he was willing to give some advice, maybe Yin Ji would listen.
His eyes became more eager: "Go and persuade the emperor. His face is so ugly, and he refuses to see the imperial doctor. What if the root of the disease is left behind at such a young age..."
Xiao Chi had no idea at all. He had actually wanted to come yesterday, but his feet hurt so much that he couldn't care less. Now that he had calmed down, he couldn't wait to come over.
"Persuading the emperor? Don't you want to persuade him? My Xiao family has no merit but hard work, and Yue concubine has not committed any heinous crimes. How can he be murderous? They have grown up together."
Cai Tianxi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xiao Chi came to settle accounts with Yin Ji. Xiao Chi didn't hear what he just said about Yin Ji's discomfort, or he didn't care if he heard it.
His mood was a little complicated. The Xiao family didn't care about Yin Ji. In fact, he had known for a long time that as long as he had some respect for him, he wouldn't talk about the dragon's merits and the kindness of raising him all day long.
Originally, he wanted Xiao Chi to persuade Yin Ji, but now he didn't dare to let him in.
"The Emperor has gone to bed. Your Excellency, you should go back first."
Xiao Chi looked at him suspiciously: "Asleep? That's not what you said just now."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the tent: "There are obviously still lights inside."
Just as Cai Tianxi was about to find an excuse to excuse himsel, Jing Chun came over with a food box.
Xiao Chi's eyes instantly narrowed. He probably knew that Cai Tianxi was in trouble, so he turned and looked at Jing Chun: "Hey, Eunuch Jingchun, I want to come to see the emperor, but your master doesn't want to let me go through because it's troublesome. You... ..."
Cai Tianxi knew as soon as he heard that he was deceiving Jingchun, and coughed quickly, but Jingchun seemed not to hear it, and smiled enthusiastically: "Master is old and can't work hard. I will go to kitchen, sir."
Cai Tianxi's face darkened, but Xiao Chi sneered, his tone full of mockery: "Isn't the Emperor sleeping?"
"How can he sleep?" Jing Chun didn't realize it and gestured to the food box in his hand, "I just said I wanted to..."
"Shut up!"
Cai Tianxi couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out a scolding. Jingchun was startled. He probably didn't know what he had done wrong. He looked at Cai Tianxi with a little confusion: "Master..."
Cai Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief. This child was completely hopeless. He couldn't even recognize his master. He should be replaced when he returns to the palace.
He paid no more attention to Jing Chun, but turned sideways to stop Xiao Chi's sedan: "Xiao Shenzhi, the emperor is not feeling well. You'd better come back another day."
Xiao Chi said "hehe": "Is he feeling unwell, or does he feel guilty and don't want to see me?"
"Xiao Shenzhi," Cai Tianxi said in a stern tone. Although it is best for slaves to be kind, he could not bear it when his master was arranged in this way. "Please be careful what you say!"
Xiao Chi's eyes were sharp, be careful what you say?
It's obviously Yin Ji who should act with caution!
This purge caused so many people from the Xiao family to go in. The Xiao family didn't care about him, but not only was he ungrateful, he even dared to treat Xiao Baobao like that. What did he think of the daughter of their Xiao family?!
"It's not your turn to interrupt what I'm doing, so get out of here!"
Cai Tianxi stood and refused to move. Xiao Chi trembled with anger: "You are so shameless, you..."
"Cai Tianxi, let him in."
Yin Ji's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xiao Chi's upcoming curse. He took a deep breath and looked at Cai Tianxi and snorted disdainfully. He knew that Yin Ji did not dare not see him. If it weren't for their Xiao family, how would he sit on the dragon throne?
There was a flash of pride in his eyes, and he raised his chin, signalling the Imperial Army to carry him in.
Yin Ji was leaning on the bedside reading the book. When he heard him come in, he raised his eyes. His eyes were very plain, but Xiao Chi was inexplicably stunned. The anger that was raging just now was extinguished in an instant. He was obviously still outside the camp just now. There is a lot to say, but now he can't think of a single word.
Yin Ji closed the memorial and bowed slightly: "Didn't you come to settle accounts with me? Why didn't you say anything?"
Xiao Chi lowered his head guiltily. He actually knew that it was not appropriate for Xiao Baobao to do what she did, but they were childhood sweethearts after all. She was just a concubine now, and she was not given the queen position she deserved. Yin Ji had indeed treated her badly, what happened to the two points of tolerance?
But he didn't dare to say this directly, so he could only laugh without embarrassment: "How dare you say the word "settling accounts"? I just feel wronged for Empress Yue Bin. She is really all about you, you. Do you remember? When you came back from a serious injury, it was Empress Yue who guarded you day and night and brought you back from hell."
Yin Ji unconsciously squeezed the fold tightly, saying these words again...
Although he had heard it countless times, he still remembered that even though he had suffered a lot because of Xiao Baobao's care, he had never forgotten the kindness towards him.
But that was his own kindness and had nothing to do with Xie Yun. She had no reason to sacrifice herself to save her. Now that she had done it, Xiao Baobao had to show the attitude she should have. What does she look like now?
"I will not be ungrateful, but I will also not allow others to do this. Do you understand?"
"I understand, of course I understand, but," Xiao Chi laughed sarcastically, "After all, there is a difference in status, and the empress will not treat her badly, and she will receive no less rewards in return."
Is this using money to humiliate Xie Yun?
Yin Ji's eyes turned cold: "I will naturally give her what she deserves. All she needs to do is say thank you. Does she understand?"
It was such a simple thing, but Xiao Chi remained strangely silent. No matter what his identity was, Xie Yun was now just a slave who was stepped on. For Xiao Baobao to thank such a person, he felt aggrieved for his niece.
"Your Majesty, you are too pushy..."
Forcing others to do something difficult? Is this making things difficult for others?
The suffocating pain in his heart became more and more intense. He tightly held the memorial in his hand to maintain his posture, but he no longer wanted to say anything: "In that case, please kneel down."
Xiao Chi didn't expect that he didn't care about the Xiao family's face at all, and his face couldn't help but look ugly. Although they all chose to tolerate the cleaning of the court, it didn't mean that they didn't have anger. If the emperor had this attitude, then don't blame him. Give the emperor a tight skin.
He had difficulty moving and did not kneel down. He only bowed and resigned. But as soon as he straightened up, he seemed to have thought of something. 
He raised his hand and patted his head: "Looking at my memory, I am actually here to ask for grace today. Queen Mother I just called Zhuo Jing into the palace two days ago to attend to my illness. She heard that I like good horses, so she rewarded me with one. I have to rush back to express my gratitude. "
Yin Ji's eyes froze, was Xiao Chi threatening him?
