Xiao Li came back to his senses from his daze and looked at the tall Rong Qing in front of him.
I don’t know if it’s because of the nourishment of spiritual energy, but Rong Qing seems to have become younger and his skin looks better.
His tough facial features were full of wildness, and his silver eyes stared at people with a kind of cold-bloodedness that only animals could have.
But after seeing Xiao Li, he frowned slightly and instantly became honest and calm.
Rong Qing is the empress's guardian general. To others, he is dangerous and powerful, like a formidable enemy.
Yang Jun was known as a smiling tiger, while Rong Qing was known as a bloodthirsty lion.
But to Xiao Li, his presence was really low.
So low that she would not notice his presence, and his figure was never within her sight.
But as long as Xiao Li had an idea, she only needed to speak, and Rong Qing would definitely be there. No matter who was in front of him, he would execute it without hesitation.
He seemed to have abandoned himself and completely turned himself into a knife for Xiao Li.
Just put it there when not in use, and when needed, unsheathe it instantly, indestructible.
It was a rare occasion that Xiao Li finally saw him face to face today. Then she remembered that she had never favored him once since she came back.
He was different from the other three. They always wanted Xiao Li's attention and enthusiasm, but they only wanted him to stand behind them and not fight for them.
Xiao Li wanted to say something, but ended up letting out a sigh of relief.
Rong Qing has been with her for many years, and it has been the same for ten years, so there is really nothing to ask.
"You...come in and serve."
Rong Qing remained unfazed by praise or criticism, his eyes following Xiao Li. After hearing the order, a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "Your humble servant obeys."
Xiao Li went to take a bath. Rong Qing didn't serve him very often, but over the years, the number of times was not small. In addition, he studied hard, and although he looked rough, he was able to be meticulous and comprehensive.
He was not in a hurry. He took care of Xiao Li first, and waited until she finished washing up before he hurriedly washed up himself.
When they got to bed, he took Xiao Li's feelings into consideration first, and only when she agreed did he let go of himself and devote all his suppressed affection to his beloved emperor.
-----
Thanks to Xiao Li's suppression, there were many powerful people in the court, and they quickly formulated corresponding countermeasures.
Therefore, the turmoil caused by the awakening of spiritual energy this time is all within controllable range.
Of course, for the important officials in the court, Her Majesty the Empress is powerful and has been kind to them. They respect and admire Her Majesty, so they are willing to serve Her Majesty and go through fire and water without hesitation.
But there are very few people in the world who can see the empress, let alone win her favor.
Even though the empress was a wise ruler who benefited the world, there were always people who were greedy and insatiable, and even felt that the empress had taken away the glory and power that should have belonged to them.
Originally, they had accepted their fate after being suppressed by the Empress. However, as some of them awakened their spiritual powers and devoted themselves to research, they felt that they could also master the rules of the powerful, and their dormant ambitions gradually revived.
Humans tame monsters to commit crimes and evil, enslave the poor, and commit crimes, which cannot be stopped despite repeated bans.
Behind extreme light there must be endless darkness.
The evil and distortion of human nature cannot be changed by the world's rules and laws, not even by Xiao Li.
Where there is good, there must be evil; where there is light, there must be darkness.
Only relativity can exist.
The only thing Xiao Li can do is to strengthen laws and regulations to increase the cost of their crimes.
After everyone awakened their spiritual powers, their lifespan and health were guaranteed, and the official structure in the court became more stable, making it almost impossible to move.
The imperial court was strong and stable, so even if there were one or two people who wanted to rebel, they would be suppressed quickly and would not cause much trouble.
In a flash, another five years passed, and the world completely entered a new track.
Everything is moving towards prosperity and strength.
It's the end of the year again, and Xiao Jingyi comes back on time, but this year he brings someone special with him.
Xiao Jingyi proudly kept it a secret: "Royal sister, look at this, do you recognize it?"
In the middle of the hall stood a tall young man with a slender figure, handsome features, and clear eyes. His clothes were not gorgeous, but they were all of high quality.
At first glance, he looks like a well-educated young man.
Noticing Xiao Li's scrutiny, the young man bowed politely: "Qin Xiao greets His Majesty."
It was a little surprising, but not that surprising. After all, Xiao Jingyi just wrote the answer on his face, and there was no way Xiao Li couldn't see it.
Moreover, she could recognize Qin Xiao's identity even though he was a beggar. There was no reason why she couldn't recognize him now.
What surprised Xiao Li was the changes in Qin Xiao in just a few years. Who would have thought that he was the skinny beggar from before?
Xiao Li handed the person over to Xiao Jingyi. She didn't ask about it in the past five years, and Xiao Jingyi didn't mention it deliberately.
Seeing it suddenly, the contrast was too obvious, but it was obvious that Xiao Jingyi raised people very well and taught them well.
Qin Xiao knelt and bowed, then took out a box and presented it: "I was fortunate enough to receive Your Majesty's grace in those days, saving me from loneliness and granting me good fortune. Qin Xiao will always remember this. Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue will never fade from my memory. In the future, I will diligently cultivate and serve Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Xiao Li: “…”
There was no need to do so. She sent him to Xiao Jingyi without even thinking of asking him to repay her kindness.
However, Qin Xiao's seriousness proved that he was grateful and valued friendship and loyalty, and Xiao Li did not help the wrong person.
Xiao Jingyi helped take the box from Qin Xiao's hand and handed it to Yang Jun for inspection.
"Imperial sister, you don't know. When he heard I was going to bring him back, he disappeared without a trace. I thought he was too scared to come, but he ran off to the snowy mountains just to prepare this gift. When he came back, he was covered in frostbite. It was a horrible sight."
