Chapter 445: The Assassin is a native of the Great Zhou
Yan Li is not very old, only thirty-four or five years old, with a goatee, and likes to squint while brushing his beard when he talks.
Qi Jingyun stopped when he heard this, but he didn't look back, Yan Li caught up, and said coldly that he would definitely find out what happened, and in the face of Yan Li's provocation, Qi Jingyun just smiled faintly and asked him to take care of himself.
Qi Jingyun left without looking back, leaving Yan Li standing at the door of the emperor's bedroom, behind him were some officials of the Criminal Department, Yan Li only felt that his face was a little unbearable, and he also had a little resentment towards Qi Jingyun.
In the small courtyard, Qiao Mingyue was woken up by a gust of cold wind, opened her eyes and looked at the sky, the willows on the moon, Qi Jingyun had not come back, she was a little anxious, so she told the maid around her to inquire about Qi Jingyun's news.
Who knew that the maid hadn't been out for long, so she hurried back, panting and telling Qiao Mingyue about the scene she had just seen in front of the emperor's bedroom.
When she heard Yan Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sneering at Qi Jingyun, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help frowning, Yan Li was not a person from any faction of Tuoba Gong and Tuoba Yu, for the time being, Yan Li had not yet stood up.
Tuoba Yu also wanted to win over Yan Li to become his protégé before, but after Qiao Mingyue investigated Yan Li, she disagreed, and the matter was shelved by Tuoba Yu.
It's just that I don't know why, Tuoba Gong's side has never had the intention of wooing Yan Li, and seeing that Tuoba Gong's side didn't make any moves, Qiao Mingyue didn't care about anything.
Unexpectedly, the word Yan Li appeared again today, and this time it was aimed at her and Qi Jingyun.
"You send someone to investigate Yan Li, the more detailed the better, in the past few days, send someone to keep an eye on him, no matter what he does, he must report to me in every detail." Qiao Mingyue threw the book in her hand on the desk and made a clicking sound.
The maid retreated, and Qiao Mingyue saw her retreat, so she stood up, rubbing her somewhat sore neck, and stood at the door and looked out.
After a while, sure enough, when she saw Qi Jingyun, she greeted her with a smile, Qi Jingyun reached out to hold her hand, and saw that her hair was slightly scattered, so he reached out and sorted out the broken hair on her forehead.
His movements were very gentle, like a gentle breeze in the night, Qiao Mingyue looked up at him, under the moonlight, his face was even more warm as jade.
In the past, Qi Jingyun was always not afraid of heaven and earth, but now Qi Jingyun already knows how to control his emotions and know how to back down.
It's just that it's the change she wants to see, but I don't know why, when she heard the maid say that a criminal department secretary dared to speak out and ridicule, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.
"What's the matter, I've been staring at this king, did you find that this king is graceful and graceful, and the jade tree is in the wind?" Qi Jingyun smiled and teased her, while taking Qiao Mingyue's hand back to the room.
Qiao Mingyue nodded, "Yes! The prince jade tree is in the wind, and the posture of heaven and man is really rare in the world! ”
Such praise is from the bottom of my heart! Qi Jingyun deserves such praise, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people did not have a good word for this gentlemanly prince, but when talking about his appearance, he couldn't help but praise the appearance of King Jin.
After receiving Qiao Mingyue's praise, Qi Jingyun looked down at her, and there was a smile that couldn't be hidden between her eyebrows, "I have never thought that a man's appearance is important, and now, listening to the lady's praise like this, I'm afraid I'm going to change my mind." ”
The two of them laughed and entered the house, the table in the house was already full of hot meals, Qiao Mingyue was warm in the morning, and waited for Qi Jingyun to come back to eat together.
Qi Jingyun looked at the table of food, and knew that Qiao Mingyue had been waiting for him to come back and hadn't eaten, so he couldn't help but blame her for not knowing how to take care of her body, and even said again and again that she would not be allowed to do this in the future.
Looking at his fuss, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, in this strange world, she had a sense of belonging for the first time, as if as long as the person in front of her was in front of her, whether it was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, she was not so afraid.
Regarding the content of the conversation in the emperor's bedroom, Qi Jingyun didn't say, Qiao Mingyue asked, he just vaguely perfunctory, knowing that he didn't want to worry about himself, Qiao Mingyue didn't continue to ask anything.
Because of the search of the assassin's body and the jade pendant carved with the Great Zhou totem, there was a lot of discussion in the court, some people suspected that this matter was done by King Jin and his wife, and some people felt that this matter was like a frame-up.
Qi Jingyun didn't want these disturbances to make Qiao Mingyue worried, so he coaxed her to be in chaos outside these days, so it was better to rest in the small courtyard, and when the Flower Dynasty Festival passed, she returned to the capital, and he accompanied her wherever she wanted to play.
Qiao Mingyue saw through it and didn't say anything, nodded very obediently, and agreed.
In the next two days, whether it was the royal family's flower festival sacrifice ceremony, or the night banquet where the emperor and the people enjoyed together, Qiao Mingyue didn't go, and Qi Jingyun was not as busy as before, and stayed in the small courtyard to accompany Qiao Mingyue most of the time.
The two of them are either playing chess or reading books, but they are also very comfortable.
In the middle, the emperor invited Qiao Mingyue once, saying that although the injury of the sixth prince Tuoba Gong had begun to heal, there was still some pus and blood, which caused intermittent fever in the past two days, and the imperial doctors were helpless, so the emperor had to come and invite Qiao Mingyue to come over.
Qiao Mingyue only waved her hand when she heard this, and told the eunuch who came to deliver the message that she was not feeling well, and she would go when she was better.
Although the eunuch had a bitter face, he could only obediently go to the emperor to reply, and the emperor had no choice but to let the imperial doctor continue to treat Tuoba Gong.
In the study, the emperor frowned and looked at the twists and turns in front of him, some of them defended King Jin, and some of them persuaded the emperor not to raise tigers for trouble, and he should get rid of King Jin and his wife as soon as possible.
"Look, my two good sons!" Those who persuaded the emperor to kill Qi Jingyun and his wife didn't need to think about it, and they knew that they were the ministers on Tuoba Gong's side, and as for the intercession for Qi Jingyun and them, it was naturally Tuoba Yu's party.
The old eunuch bowed down and stood obediently aside, and when he heard the words, he glanced at the mountains of folds on the table, and said in a slow voice: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the sixth prince has been in a coma for the past few days, and I am afraid that these twists and turns are the actions of those ministers themselves." ”
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly sighed that he was so old that he almost forgot about it.
The old eunuch hurriedly smiled and said that the emperor was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he would guard Nanzhao for thousands of generations!
The emperor waved his hand and sighed that it was just some foolish scenes, who can escape the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, even if it is the emperor, it is only a hundred years of life.
