Jiang Xing spoke with difficulty: "I've been back for several days."
The mist in Lin Qingyu's eyes gradually dissipated, and he regained clarity. He suddenly exerted force on his hands, pinched Jiang Xing's chin fiercely, and said sternly: "You still remember to come back!"
Jiang Xing didn't feel any pain at all, but frowned: "Be gentle, baby."
At this time, Xiao Songzi's voice came from outside: "Master Lin, Master Li and the others are still waiting in the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters with you."
Lin Qingyu's eyes darkened, and he looked around and tore off a strip of cloth from the curtain. Jiang Xing was very conscious and even a little excited and took the initiative to stretch out his hands: "Here you go."
Lin Qingyu tied Jiang Xing's hands with a piece of cloth: "Go to bed and cover yourself with the quilt and wait for me. You are not allowed to go anywhere before I come back."
Is there such a good thing?
Jiang Xing nodded happily.
Chapter 106
After a few days, Lin Qingyu stepped into the Qinzheng Palace again and hesitated in front of the door. Xiao Songzi asked, "Master Lin, is there anything wrong?"
Lin Qingyu perked up and said, "No, let's go in."
As soon as Lin Qingyu entered the palace, several important officials who were sitting and drinking tea in the palace stood up and saluted. Even those with higher official positions than him saluted him. Lin Qingyu returned the salute and asked the Dali Temple Minister first: "How is the investigation of the Xixia spy going?"
Xiao Songzi served tea to Lin Qingyu, and watched him talk about official business in a calm and indifferent tone, and his heart finally settled down. Lord Lin had been frightened these past two days, and he couldn't imagine what kind of joy or sorrow would stimulate Lord Lin to bed sick. Fortunately, Lord Lin finally survived.
Lin Qingyu missed several days of morning court and political meetings, and the official business to be discussed was several times more than usual. At first, Lin Qingyu could still listen to them patiently, but as time went on, he became more and more absent-minded, looking towards the door from time to time, as if he was anxious to confirm something.
An hour later, Lin Qingyu could no longer sit still and said, "That's all for today. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow."
Everyone filed out, with Li Chan being the last. Lin Qingyu could see that he was deliberately dawdling, probably because he wanted to talk to him alone.
"Lord Li?"
Li Chan said, "Lord Lin, the emperor has been on the throne for a short time, and the position of Prime Minister is vacant, and all officials are leaderless. In my humble opinion, why didn't Lord Lin take the position of Prime Minister earlier, so that Lord Lin could sit in the court and manage the government, so that the censors would not privately say that Lord Lin was overstepping his authority and making arbitrary decisions."
Lin Qingyu said nonchalantly: "The censors have said more than one thing about me in private. Let them say it. After all, they only dare to say it in private."
Li Chan hesitated and said, "But..."
"There's no need to rush this matter. When the time is right, I will have my own plans."
Li Chan looked at him for a while and couldn't help but talk about personal matters: "I heard that Lord Lin has been ill these days. Are you... okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Qingyu said politely, "Master Li, don't worry about me."
