Qi Jingyun is His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Great Zhou, and Emperor Nanzhao said such a thing, but he was reminding Qi Jingyun that if he couldn't handle this matter well, he would not care if Qi Jingyun was the King of Jin of the Great Zhou, and he would still deal with it in accordance with the national law of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

Qi Jingyun happily agreed, and looked at Qiao Mingyue, who was pursed and didn't speak from beginning to end, and was a little helpless.

He was really eaten to death by Qiao Mingyue, and it was too late for him to be a carefree prince on weekdays, how could he meddle in these things? What's more, it's still Nanzhao's matter, but now he has to rush to do it.

Out of the emperor's bedroom, Qi Jingyun was still a little sullen, Qiao Mingyue took his arm and looked up at him affectionately, "The prince is sulking again?" ”

"Nope!" replied decisively, Qiao Mingyue knew in her heart that if there is not, there is! Death tsundere!

Thinking of ways to please Qi Jingyun along the way, Qiao Mingyue tried her best, and Qi Jingyun was willing to toss again, so she had to ease her face.

The two did not go directly back to the small courtyard where they stayed, but went out of the palace and went all the way to the altar, the two of them were wearing ordinary people's clothes, and they looked like ordinary people of Nanzhao in addition to the nobility of their bodies.

"Would you like to try this?" Holding a piece of osmanthus tiaotou cake in his hand, the tiaotou cake is white and tender with red bean filling, and the outside is soft glutinous rice, lying on the emerald green lotus leaf bag obediently, Qiao Mingyue offers treasure.

Qi Jingyun glanced at her, lowered his head and took a bite of her hand, the soft and glutinous sweet taste filled his mouth, he squinted his eyes, and reached out to take Qiao Mingyue's hand.

Qiao Mingyue smiled, and hurriedly trotted to keep up with Qi Jingyun's footsteps, as if she noticed that she was chasing a little hard, and someone in front of her was pretending to be angry and unconsciously slowed down.

Walking through the crowd, Qiao Mingyue looked down at the clasped hands of the two, and couldn't help but smile and squint.

This kind of blandness is what she has always wanted, when everything is over, when that fateful fate changes, she can live a happy life with Qi Jingyun like this.

Thinking of this, the smile on Qiao Mingyue's face narrowed a little, she didn't want Qi Jingyun to be involved in the court, but she didn't want Qi Jingyun to always be the prince in the mouth of the people, only by being a little stronger, he could protect himself.

Destiny...... so that it will not go to the end of the dream.

With a heavy heart, Qi Jingyun, who was walking in front, didn't notice that he just used his body to protect Qiao Mingyue from being squeezed by the crowd.

Coming to the side of the altar and standing in the distance, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but be shocked, is this still the magnificent altar?

A fire burned the altar to only a few frames, and the ground was littered with timber and prayer flags that had not been burned.

A group of soldiers around the altar were methodically cleaning up the burned things on the altar, and the other side of the altar had begun to be repaired, which was in stark contrast to the messy appearance here.

It's so weird! Why would a fire burn the altar and not elsewhere?

You must know that the guards of the altar were the strictest at that time, and if you want to burn the altar unknowingly, you naturally have to waste more thought.

Rather than going to great lengths to burn down the altar to cause panic among the people and cause crowding to assassinate the emperor, it would be better to burn the buildings around the festival venue, which would also cause a riot, but it would be much easier to do than to burn the altar.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Mingyue asked Qi Jingyun to go to the emperor to apply to investigate the altar, because it was strange, so it had to be investigated.

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, since you can't figure it out, it's the best way to solve the puzzle by checking it in person.

As soon as the two men walked around the altar, they were stopped by the soldiers surrounding the altar, "Who is it?" The altar is heavy, and the idle people can't wait, so don't leave quickly! ”

Stopped outside the altar, Qi Jingyun calmly took out the token he got from the emperor, "I am ordered to investigate the fire on the altar, don't get out of the way!" ”

As the prince of the Great Zhou, where is Qi Jingyun's innate royal momentum, even if he is wearing the clothes of ordinary people at this moment, but the majesty of his body still makes the soldiers dare not slack off, and he hurriedly said that he would report to Lord Ye, and left in a hurry.

Ye Yungui!

Hearing the three words of Lord Ye, what popped up in Qiao Mingyue's mind was the news about this Lord Ye that she had investigated in the past few days.

Ye Guiyun, the eldest son of the Ye family in Nanzhao Yuncheng, the Ye family has a great cause, and is the head of the five great families of Nanzhao, Ye Guiyun, the eldest son of the Ye family, was only a small official of the Ministry of Rites before, which is really surprising.

Because no matter what, according to the power of the Ye family, even if Ye Guiyun gets a Ministry of Rites to do it, it will be an easy matter.

The future head of the dignified Ye family would be willing to be a small official in the Ministry of Rites?

Thinking in his heart, I saw the little soldier who had gone to report before trotting over, and behind him, a man in a white regular uniform came, the man's eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were smiling, and his eyebrows were indescribably elegant and noble.

Gestures, full of elegance.

Walking to Qi Jingyun and standing still, the man bowed his hand and said softly: "I don't know that His Royal Highness King Jin is coming, and he will miss the welcome!" Ye Guiyun in the lower rite department, obeyed the dispatch of His Royal Highness. ”

Gentle and courteous, gentle as jade, is Qiao Mingyue's first impression of this Lord Ye.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Gong's subordinates are really full of talents! It seems that the Ye family, the head of the five great families, has also chosen a team in the battle for the throne, and I don't know what choice the remaining families will make.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is true that compared with the crown prince Tuoba Yu, who knows how to restrain his edge and calculates courageously, Tuoba Gong is more suitable and more likely to become the next emperor.

"Regarding the burning of the altar, Your Majesty sent this king to investigate, Lord Ye is busy with his own affairs, this king can take a look at it, Lord Ye does not have to follow." Qi Jingyun directly rejected Ye Guiyun's kindness, and waved his hand as if he was hanging out, not like he was investigating the case, but like he was playing in the mountains and rivers.

Ye Guiyun smiled, nodded, respectfully retired, and turned around to repair the altar.

If you don't know that he is someone from Tuoba Gong's side, maybe you will take him with you, but now that you know that he is a person from Tuoba Gong's faction, you will naturally not let him follow him.

The altar is very large, Qiao Mingyue proposed to look for it separately, Qi Jingyun nodded, this altar is surrounded by soldiers, besides, it is broad daylight, Qiao Mingyue has martial arts in his body, Qi Jingyun did not insist anymore, and the two acted separately.

With the emperor's token, the soldiers did not dare to stop her, Qiao Mingyue was unimpeded around the altar, except for praying at the altar with the crown prince Tuoba Yu on the first day of the festival, it was the first time she observed the altar so closely.
