Once disclosed, the list was announced to the world, and the officials involved were either imprisoned or beheaded in public. It became a hot topic in the world, and no one had time to care about the emperor's private affairs.
The emperor was furious, and corpses floated everywhere. The former cabinet minister, the high-ranking Minister of Personnel, was stripped of his official hat, and Qi Qingyi's hat was also taken off his head.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Qi Qingyi knelt on the ground. He was no longer as high-spirited as he was a year ago. His hair was disheveled and he was in a panic. "My father is innocent. He must have been murdered by a traitor. Please investigate, Your Majesty."
It’s a pity that even though he was begging on his knees, none of the people who usually helped him spoke up to plead for him.
The Minister of Personnel must be beheaded to serve as a warning to others. As for Qi Qingyi, Emperor Zhaoyang pitied his talent and only punished him to be an official slave. After serving for three years, he became a commoner and was never allowed to take the imperial examination again.
The government and the opposition were shaken, and Lin Su naturally played a role in it, because he was the one who thoroughly checked the list of officials involved.
He had no intention of targeting Qi Qingyi, but the emperor wanted to seize power. The Minister of Personnel seemed to be honest, but he did do those things. The previous emperor was not sensitive to this matter and managed to get away with it. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, how could he allow such a situation to exist?
The former Minister of Personnel's Mansion fell into decline overnight, and the top scholar who was so proud of himself a year ago became a criminal slave, no longer having the high and mighty attitude he once had.
Qing Tang was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then lowered his eyes and said, "A man with such a high spirit, I'm afraid he can't withstand such a blow."
Lin Su knew who he was talking about without asking. Qi Qingyi's current status was not as high as Qing Tanglai's. It was fate that made similar people turn their lives upside down.
"Official slaves can serve in officials' mansions. Since you pity him, how about I redeem him and let him work with you?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
Qing Tang uttered an "ah" and felt rather uneasy: "I don't want to do that in my heart."
That man was more talented and magnanimous than him, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He could accept a woman marrying Lin Su, but he could not accept a man similar to him being with the young master. If the woman was with the young master, he would just feel pain and bitterness in his heart, but if that man was with the young master, he would be afraid that he would have no place to stand.
"Don't worry, people like him will always have sympathy." Lin Su saw the sparkling eyes in his eyes and began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to push him away deliberately.
Qing Tang was good-looking and hardworking, so Lin Su naturally liked him. However, unlike before, he felt more pity for Qing Tang. He felt pity for him because he suffered misfortune at a young age, pity for him because he was later used as a substitute, and pity for him because he was infatuated with the wrong person and died with hatred.
If you can walk on a bright road, why bother worrying about falling on this single-plank bridge?
"Have you ever had feelings for a woman before?" Lin Su asked him.
Qing Tang didn't know how this topic came to him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't associate with women."
"You don't understand what I mean." Lin Su laughed, "I mean, do you see any movement in your body when you look at the Spring Palace Picture?"
Qing Tang's face flushed, almost bleeding: "I would never do such a dirty thing!"
"Haven't you seen it or haven't touched it?" Lin Su asked again.
He needed to see if the kid was bi or just a man-lover.
Qing Tang's eyes wandered: "Never moved."
"So when you have a sexual dream, are you thinking about men or women?" Lin Su asked bluntly.
Qing Tang's face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Lin Su understood. This child was single and only liked men. So it was useless to ask him to get married and have children.
"Come here." Lin Su said lightly, but did not answer his question.
Qing Tang's heart tightened, but he moved over obediently and stood in front of Lin Su: "Master."
There was tension in those eyes, and a fear of having the secret discovered, but since when, they were filled with his image.
His original fate was that he could not get what he wanted, but now it seemed that he made it impossible for him to get what he wanted again.
Lin Su pulled his collar and slowly pulled it in front of him. He stared into those flickering eyes and said, "Can you tell me who you dreamed about when you had a sexual dream?"
Qing Tang felt that they were too close, but when he wanted to move away, he found that the young master was extremely strong and his heart was beating very violently, as if it would jump out of his chest if he didn't press it down.
"Is it me?" Lin Su asked him in a deliberately low voice.
Qing Tang was trying his best to calm his heartbeat, but he couldn't calm down. He took a deep breath and said, "...What?"
"Was it me in the dream?" Lin Su asked again patiently.
It was him. Even though my memory was very vague when I woke up that day and I couldn't see that person's face clearly, I still remembered his voice, which was ringing in my ears just like it is now, low and gentle, making me linger in it and not want to wake up.
"Yes..." Qing Tang answered subconsciously. When he realized what he had said, he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. He didn't dare to break free, but knelt down directly, tears in his eyes, and said, "Master, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to offend my superiors. Please don't chase me away."
How could the young master keep someone like him if he wanted to?
Qing Tang was filled with panic, but before he could kneel on the ground, Lin Su supported him and he could no longer kneel.
Lin Su said above his head, "What if I don't mind you thinking of me when you have a wet dream?"
Qing Tang stared at him blankly for a long time with his mouth open: "Master, what you mean is..."
Lin Su hummed: "Don't you understand yet?"
"But with someone like me, the young master will be impeached." Qing Tang said softly, as if he just wanted a grain of white sugar, but there was a pile of sugar as big as a desert in front of him and he was at a loss.
"Leave that problem to me. Just tell me whether you want to or not?" Lin Su said with a smile, "If you don't want to..."
"I want to!!!" Qing Tang replied quickly. He looked straight at Lin Su and said, "Even if the young master can't be humane for the rest of his life, I still want to!"
Lin Su: “…”
06: [Oh wow.]
It overturned again.
