"Mother, you can go to Nanzhao with us!" Qiao Mingyue was a little worried that Mrs. Qiao was reluctant to go to Nanzhao, after all, she didn't know when she would be able to come back this time.

Mrs. Qiao smiled, the world is impermanent, the current Da Zhou seems to be stable, but in fact there is an undercurrent, now in the eyes of the emperor, she is dead, so there is no need to go back, although she also misses her husband and son, but now going to Yungui is also very likely to cause them trouble, once the emperor knows about it, it will be bad. Follow Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun to Nanzhao together, maybe you can help them.

"Okay, I'll go to Nanzhao with you."

"Great!" Qiao Mingyue said happily.

Qi Jingyun on the side saw that Mrs. Qiao had agreed to go to Nanzhao, so he opened his mouth and said to Qiao Mingyue: "Since there is nothing to do, then you should go to Tongzhou first!" At most, the day after tomorrow, I will go to Tongzhou to meet you. ”

"No way!" Qiao Mingyue rejected his proposal, "I'm going to wait for you here." ”

"However, it is not safe to stay in Tong County, and it is easy to be discovered." Qi Jingyun was a little helpless.

Qiao Mingyue seemed to have made up her mind, "It's okay, I can disguise myself as your maid, now you can rest assured!" ”

Qi Jingyun saw that she had made up her mind, and she was no longer reluctant, "Okay, but you must be careful." ”

"No problem!"

It was almost dawn, Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue said goodbye and hurried back to the capital, and at the same time, Qiao Mingyue also arranged for Mrs. Qiao to take the lead in Tongzhou.

When Qi Jingyun returned to King Jin's Mansion unconsciously, it was already dark, but he had always allowed others to disturb him when he was resting, so even if he occasionally got up late, no one would notice. But today, as soon as he was lying in bed, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Wang, are you awake?" It was Steward Li, and as soon as he heard movement in the house, he came over to ask.

"Is there something wrong?" Qi Jingyun pretended to have just woken up.

Steward Li replied through the door: "Back to the prince, someone from the palace this morning said that the prince was invited to participate in tonight's palace banquet, saying that he was going to prepare for tomorrow's departure." ”

I'm going to Nanzhao tomorrow! "Okay, this king knows." Looks like we have something to do tonight, so let's get some sleep first!

Qi Jingyun slept until noon, and if it weren't for Deng Xiaoxian knocking on the door, he might not have woken up.

"What?" Qi Jingyun opened the door with an unhappy face.

Deng Xiaoxian knew what he was doing last night, but he still deliberately pretended to be surprised, and said exaggeratedly: "What did you do last night?" How do you get tired like this? ”

In fact, Qi Jingyun is not very tired, but he is also idle, and he has to enter the palace at night, so it is better to recharge his energy and rest for a while.

But seeing Deng Xiaoxian's under-pumping appearance, he still felt very unhappy. "It's your business!" Qi Jingyun rolled his eyes indecently, closed the door and continued to catch up on sleep.

Outside the door, Deng Xiaoxian touched his nose and said secretly: "How can this couple be virtuous?" After saying that, he turned around and left very depressed.

When Qi Jingyun entered the palace in the evening, Deng Xiaoxian and the others had already arrived early, and as soon as he sat on his seat, the emperor and empress arrived.

"Third brother, I remember that you said before that you were reluctant to give up the wine and beauties in the capital, how about it? Or stay in the capital, anyway, the sixteenth brother's illness seems to be almost better now, so it's better to let him go! The emperor had a gentle smile on his face, if he hadn't known what happened last night, Qi Jingyun would have almost been deceived by him.

Hearing this, Qi Jingyun poured himself a glass of wine, and glanced at Qi Jingyu, as he expected, Qi Jingyu's current mood was not very good.

Of course, his mood was not good, he originally thought that he had escaped, and he came tonight with guilt and gratitude to Qi Jingyun, but he didn't expect the emperor to still not give up. Damn it! Qi Jingyu gritted his teeth and held the wine glass in his hand fiercely.

"Brother Huang laughed, no matter how good the wine and beauties in the capital are, they are a little tired after so many years, why don't you go to Nanzhao to take a look, and besides, the younger brother has finally regained his freedom, how can it be justified if he doesn't go out to play?" Qi Jingyun smiled carelessly, and everyone seemed to see the miserable green boy who made all the young girls in the capital secretly moved.

It's just a pity that being a proton isn't as simple as going out and having fun. Since ancient times, people who go to other countries to be protons have either sent people under the fence and lived in poverty and misery, or they have been bullied and depressed, and the most important thing is that once they become protons, it has almost become a difficult thing to return to China, looking at King Jin like this, he doesn't know anything! Everyone shook their heads in their hearts.

Qi Jingyun doesn't care what others think, anyway, Nanzhao, he is decided, and it is useless for anyone to stop him.

The words have come to this, and the emperor can't say anything more, "Since that's the case, then I wish the third brother a smooth journey!" As he spoke, he raised a glass of wine and drank it with his head up.

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Qi Jingyun also concocted the same method.

The banquet began, and the guests were happy, but the emperor's mood was not relaxed. He has always been wary of Qi Jingyun, and once Qi Jingyun goes to Nanzhao, it means that he is completely out of his control, and now, he does not have any handle in Qi Jingyun's hands, in case he cooperates with Emperor Nanzhao, Da Zhou has no possibility of winning at all. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

The only way to do this is to get rid of him when he has the intention of doing so.

"Third brother, let me introduce you, this is the county lord of Baocheng."

Qi Jingyun looked over when he heard this, closed his eyes slightly, I don't know when, there was a golden girl standing next to the emperor, that's right, it was golden light. Her whole body was covered with gold and silver jewelry, and even her clothes were inlaid with gold threads, and when the light shone, her whole body lit up.

Seeing that Qi Jingyun was looking at her, the county lord of Baocheng smiled shyly and said, "See His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

After a while, Qi Jingyun finally remembered who this Baocheng County Lord was. The county lord of Baocheng is named Xue Baozhen, the only daughter of an imperial merchant, and it is for this reason that Xue Baozhen is particularly favored, when she was fifteen years old, his father bought her the title of Baocheng county lord, but she has no real power.

Qi Jingyun smiled and didn't speak, he didn't know what the emperor meant.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't let Qi Jingyun guess by himself. "Third brother, if you go to Nanzhao this time, let the county lord accompany you!"

Qi Jingyun almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, "No, Brother Huang, this Nanzhao has a long journey, and the journey is tiring all the way, I'm afraid the little girl can't stand it, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I can do it!" Without waiting for the emperor to answer, the county lord of Baocheng immediately said.

Qi Jingyun supported his forehead, it seemed that there was no way.

Because the next day had to leave early, the banquet did not last long, and after the emperor left, everyone went home.

"Your Majesty, is there something you are looking for me?" The county lord of Baocheng asked cautiously, she was also the first time she saw the emperor, and it was fake to say that she was not afraid.

"I asked you to follow King Jin to Nanzhao today, do you know what it is for?"

The county lord of Baocheng thought about it and shook his head.

Seeing her confused, the emperor said directly: "I want you to monitor him, and you have to report his every move, besides," the emperor glanced at her, "If possible, you can also use some special means to make you the next princess Jin." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the county lord of Baocheng lit up.

"Got it?"

"Understood!"
