Chapter 424 – Tiredness
“Who doesn’t know your crooked ideas?” Xiahou Di smiled with some sarcasm: “When you were a staff member, you dared to stare at my legs for a long time, and you’ve never seen such a shameless person.”
Xue Mu leisurely said: “better than some people, at least I will not look at who pushed in the dixie bush rape, carry pants and go.”
Xiahou Di silently pouring wine, continuously pouring three cups, before panting, pointing to Xue Mu’s inscription poem: “So Xiahou shall not be the words, not to mention him, is the elder brothers some illegal things, can I really how? As long as it’s not too much, I can only turn a blind eye. Clear air full of Qiankun, no face to receive.”
Xue Mu silently drank three cups with him and asked, “So you and the princes all grew up together?”
“Not all. Emperors have to leave the palace at the age of fourteen to take up residence, and before I entered the palace, Ji Wuyou was over twenty ……”
“No wonder you’re not close to him.”
“The first one that made me realize what identity situation I was in was Ji Wuyou.” Xiahou Di put away her smile and slowly said, “He entered the palace a certain time, and I accidentally bumped into him, reaping the first ‘wild seed’ evaluation in my life. At that time, Qi Wang was also only seven or eight years old, and happened to see it in the neighborhood, burbling to protect me in front of me, and arguing …… with the twenty-something year old Ji Wuyi This scene, Xiahou Di unforgettable for a lifetime.”
Xue Mu sighed, small Ji eight this performance is not easy, must point a praise. So people’s affinity for good and bad will always have its origin, Xiahou Di said it was said lightly, think carefully about the scene at that time, about can imagine that time the evil words to a maximum of four years old little girl’s mind overshadowed by how deep the shadow. No wonder to see Xiahou Di and Ji Wuyou simply like water and fire, Ji Wuyou became a vegetable, Xiahou Di named visit, actually smile a lot of people are lazy to cover up.
And after this matter, Xiahou Di and her eighth brother’s relationship is afraid of the gods are very difficult to provoke.
Xue Mu suddenly felt the deep malice of fate. That year, the hero was still young, the beauty was young. A very pretty story began, and as a result, Father told them, this is your sister.
“After that incident, I seldom ran around anymore, and focused on practicing martial arts.” Xiahou Di said, “Then His Majesty praised me when he saw me and asked me what my ambitions were.”
Xue Mu thought of the essay that every elementary school student has written: my ambition is ……
“So small what ambition can you have?”
Xiahou Di faintly said, “I only asked rhetorically, what can I do to punish bad people? His Majesty said, of course, it is our imperial court Department Six. From that time onwards, Department Six was destined to bond with me.”
Sure enough, my ideal is an honorable people’s policeman. Xue Mu lost his smile and said, “After you were bullied by Ji Wuyou, you actually contacted Department Six to punish the bad guys. ……”
“You think the bad guy I’m talking about punishing is Ji Wu Yu?” Xiahou Di laughed mockingly, “What I want to say is His Majesty himself. The innocent fisherwoman had her life ruined because of him, and the innocent girl became a ‘wild seed’ in the eyes of others……. Whose fault is it? I can’t ask for his guilt, I can only do what I can do to make such things less frequent.”
Xue Mu withdrew his smile and looked at her steadily for a long time without speaking.
Xiahou Di sipped her own wine and slowly reminisced, “I’ve been following the Offering Hall on missions and training since I was ten years old. At the age of fourteen, I joined Department Six in the name of the Church of Providence, starting from a silver-medal constable, and served as deputy head of the Department of Burglary Control, head of the Department of Supervision, head of the Department of Law, head of the Department of Devil Suppression, and was promoted to a jade-medal constable, one of the four deputy constables of the Department of Six. The following year, the old chief constable said he was old and left his post, and His Majesty appointed me to be the chief constable, and it’s been more than three years since then, and I’m twenty-six years old.”
Well, this is youth dedicated to the people’s police cause of twelve years of working age old police, foreign affairs internal legal affairs serious crimes multi-departmental experience of …… Xue Mu nodded: “This seniority is very sufficient.”
Xiahou Di sighed: “Is His Majesty intends to fulfill my ambition since childhood …… Otherwise, many people have been simmering for a lifetime of seniority can not simmering jade, not to mention the general arrest. I have those achievements and qualifications on the face of the past, but the reality is only rely on these, this age on the throne is simply impossible. So there will be some people who will start to speak evilly, speculating that I’m His Majesty’s illegitimate daughter …… What’s infuriating is that they’re just casually slandering, and they ended up unintentionally hitting the truth.”
Xue Mu laughed, “I still have to admire Ji Qingyuan on this point. Arranging for you to go to Department Six in accordance with your aspirations was just a matter of arranging for you to be there, but he was also able to decisively promote and employ people, so it’s really considered that he has a discerning eye. If you let you waste away in the palace as a caged princess, is the world’s loss.”
“Wisdom eyes to recognize people it ……” Xiahou Di helplessly smiled: “to today should always know, he used me to do the general arrest, or power tactics wrist just. Only because my identity will not be easy to do someone else’s knife, not because I really do better than others.”
Xue Mu shook his head, “There is no need for you to think so much. In this position, just do what you need to do, your ambition is not to dabble in political power.”
Xiahou Di also shook her head, “You can’t help it, Xue Mu. Your ambition is also nothing more than beauty, song and dance, but you exhaust yourself more than anyone, are you happy? It’s nothing more than looking at a mirage and trudging through the desert even harder, not knowing which day you’ll be able to walk to an oasis.”
Xue Mu quietly looked at her, he could see that Xiahou Di was really tired, she did not want to deal with such a political situation at all, today she told so many stories, it was pouring out as well as detoxing.
“I will help you.” He raised his glass in honor of each other, “At least in this desert, you are not traveling alone.”
Xiahou Di and he drank it all, the wine jug was empty.
She also stopped refilling the wine and sighed, “I want to end the mess quickly, but you refuse to do so, so what are you talking about helping me.”
Xue Mu helplessly said, “It’s you who are thinking too naively. Unless Ji Qingyuan himself opens his mouth to pass on the throne is still okay, as long as he doesn’t open his mouth for a day, it’s absolutely impossible for your family’s oldest eight to quickly unify the situation in name only. Righteousness eight sects and courtiers for thousands of years and the relationship is inextricably linked, who has no friends, who has not married, my Star and Moon Sect of information, half of the court officials and righteousness of the children have in-laws have close friends, you do not settle these people, how to directly embrace the establishment of the establishment of the success? What’s more, I see that you look like you don’t really want to directly support the establishment, most likely still dreaming of holding the power to make your father’s decree to establish a reserve right?”
Xiahou Di listened silently, sighed: “is …… I just want him to set up the reserves, so that the simplest to stabilize the hearts of the people of the dynasty, but so obvious things, why he just does not set up it …… ”
The voice is getting smaller and smaller, more and more tired, that upright waist is also slowly a little soft, elbows weakly propped on the stone table, laboriously pressing his head: “Why not ……”
Xue Mu see some intolerance, still said: “Because the current situation once the crown prince is the prince supervise the ruling, wait until the authority of the day heavy, did not wait for him to cure the day should become the supreme emperor. So in fact, the more powerful you guys are, the more reluctant he is to establish.”
Xiahou Di looked up in a daze, and only after a long time did he say, “So that’s how it is.”
“So right now is destined to be a stalemate, each pulling together to operate their forces, waiting for the day of his demise will be the fight to the death. I came to select the collaborator, is also a rainy day, you nervous about what, maybe I will pick your eighth brother? Can’t not do inspection at all, wait until a certain prince who is full of hostility towards Star Moon Sect is on stage, then I will come crying to hug your thighs, right?”
Xiahou Di was instead amused by him for a bit and snapped, “Can’t you change your description?”
“Cough …… daydreaming and nightdreaming ……”
“Fuck off.” Xiahou Di somewhat feebly cursed, hand pressed the stone table slowly stood up, stood on the side of the pavilion pillar silently looking at Xue Mu’s handwriting, half speechless.
Xue Mu also grew up and stood beside her, sighed: “Well, you’d better go and rest, the more I listen to your story the more my heart aches, and you won’t be responsible for the pain.”
Xiahou Di did not say anything, just slowly turned her head and crashed her head down, pressed it against his shoulder and whispered, “Don’t move, let me lean for a bit.”
The fragrance of her hair lingered at the end of her nose, very light, very good smell, but Xue Mu couldn’t get up half an evil thought, just stood motionless, didn’t even go to help with his hand.
