Chapter Twenty-Three: The Messenger Stays
Ji Yun got up with a smile and secretly observed the surrounding situation, only to see that the emperor's expression was faint, the queen was a little sad in joy, the prince sneered, and the three or four princes looked completely lively, but the youngest one ran over, with an expression that did not dare to get too close but was extremely worried.
"Brother Nine Kings." The sound was as low as a mosquito's wing, as if it was about to drift away when the wind blew.
Ji Yunxiao recognized that little kid, that day in the Qiankun Palace, he stood up and said good things for Emperor Jiushu!
However, looking at his cowardice and jealousy in his actions, he should not be a favored little prince.
However, it seems that he seems to be very concerned about Emperor Jiushu.
"You, have you figured out a way?" The emperor's majesty has not changed, and he is right.
Emperor Jiushu's eyes were as cold as ever, he glanced lightly at the superior Yeyang Kingdom Monarch, turned sideways, and Ji Yunxiao's whole person appeared from behind him.
"This ......" The queen was a little surprised, she had not yet completed the matter of the Nine Princes, seeing that the envoys were about to leave for China tonight, but there was no news at all from the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup, he was not in a hurry to investigate and recover things, what was he doing with a subordinate to the Qiankun Palace?
The queen didn't understand, and everyone here didn't understand what the nine princes meant, but he had always acted arbitrarily, and no one could guess it, so everyone gradually came back to their senses.
Ji Yunxiao sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that after entering the palace, it was Emperor Jiushu who spoke, and he had some ideas behind his back, but he didn't expect him to believe her and push himself to the tip of the knife.
Now that the arrow is on the string, she can't help it!
Ji Yun smiled and took half a step forward, and arched his hand: "The slave has a plan to recover the treasure for the queen mother, but it needs to be made by the mother." ”
"A little minion is willing to ask the queen for conditions, who gave you such a bold one!" Emperor Changxin's eyebrows furrowed, he recognized this person, it was this minion who came forward to testify that Emperor Jiushu was spared punishment! He doesn't feel comfortable when he sees him now!
"The courage that this king gave him, I don't know if this counts, His Royal Highness the Prince?" Emperor Jiushu glanced at it coldly, the cold in his eyes, and the emperor Changxin who saw it was full of excitement.
The ninth prince has a record of success, and he is much more popular with the people than him, the prince who eats soft rice, and he is the main person in charge of this matter, as long as he stands up and speaks, those people will not dare to embarrass Ji Yunxiao anymore.
The queen shook her head behind her back and secretly signaled the prince to step back first. turned to look at Ji Yun and smiled, and continued to ask: "You said that you have a way to retrieve the Double Phoenix Dynasty Cup, is this true?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave has some little tricks!"
"What scheme?"
"Please forgive the minion for not informing the queen mother for the time being, but the minion is sure that he can find the treasure for the mother."
"Ridiculous! You have a plan, but don't say it, the envoys are leaving tonight, and the remaining two hours are the last chance to find the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup, you think this palace will teach the last chance to a minion with no guarantees! After saying that, he slapped the table and chair, as if he was really angry.
The emperor couldn't help frowning deeply when he watched from the sidelines, but he never said a word.
For a while, there were many discussions.
Suddenly, a voice broke the noise, "Isn't it, as long as someone vouches for him, the queen is willing to let him come?" ”
"Brother Nine Princes......" Emperor Jiushu's sleeves tightened, and the little tenth prince's face was full of worry, and he shook his head at him, he didn't want Brother Nine Princes to take risks.
The queen looked at him in surprise, thinking that he was joking, but she didn't expect him to have a serious expression and a fixed gaze, which didn't look like he was joking at all.
After thinking about it seriously, "Yes." ”
"So...... The minister is willing to guarantee him, and if anything goes wrong, the minister is willing to bear all the consequences and let the queen fall. Di Jiushu leaned over and stood in front of Ji Yunxiao, his dark back standing resolutely in front of her.
Ji Yun looked up in surprise!
His tall and majestic figure swayed to her face in the light of the glass candles.
Ji Yun smiled and froze in place, he ...... came forward for her, and even took out the identity of the Nine Princes to vouch for her! She is now a slave here, and the high hall disdains to take her seriously, even if something goes wrong on the way to track down, he can completely put all the blame on her at that time, but ...... But he wanted to stand up and use his identity to speak for her in front of the queen.
In this way, she is naturally happy to be able to find the baby, but if she can't find it, he will also be guilty with him......
He, in the end, trusts her ability too much.
Or, is there really a heart to help her?
Surprised, not only Ji Yunxiao, everyone present was stunned!
The Nine Princes of Yeyang Kingdom, who have always been arrogant, would speak for a lowly minion...... This minion ......
While thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but sneak around Ji Yunxiao, who was kneeling on the ground.
Disappointed, he retracted his gaze.
This minion, on the surface, is nothing special!
The queen was helpless, no matter how uneasy she was in her heart, but the ninth prince had said everything to this, so she could only grit her teeth and nod, "Okay!" It's naturally best to be able to chase it back, but if you can't chase it back, this palace is the only one you ask! ”
"Minion Command!" Ji Yun smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking deeply at Di Jiushu's back, but suddenly he turned around, his eyes were evil, and he looked into her eyes at a glance.
Some embarrassed retracted their gaze.
The emperor over there seemed to be a little tired, so he stopped, "Everyone disperse, go down and prepare to go." ”
"Yes!" There is no good show to watch, and everyone is also scattered.
Ji Yunxiao walked beside Emperor Jiushu, when he passed by a hundred gardens.
He paused with his hands in his hands, "What are you going to do?" "When he was in the palace, he asked him this, but he was also like now, respectful to Vino on the surface, but his eyes flashed with a cunning light." Does the prince believe in slaves? ”
"Letter?" He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he had heard someone say this word to him for the first time, he looked at her with his eyebrows, chewed on the word, and then smiled coldly, "Yeyun smiled, do you think that this king just spoke for you in front of the queen because he trusted you, right?" ”
Ji Yun smiled and was surprised, "Then why did the prince do this......
He curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically, "This king just disdains the queen's aggressive attitude, you are the king's minion, she despises you, she is despising this king, this king doesn't like to be questioned by anyone with a haughty tone!" ”
Ji Yun smiled and listened, and the trace of goodwill that had just sprouted in his heart was suddenly shattered by his cold words.
sneered in her heart, she was so stupid, she even delusionally thought that someone like Di Jiushu would try to trust herself because she sympathized with her...... It's ridiculous!
………………
The night breeze is cool, blowing the colorful auspicious cloud flags on the palace wall.
At this moment, a thin footstep sounded from far and near.
It was the envoys of the island country who were about to return home tonight, all wrapped in robes, wearing felt hats, and the attendants were carrying a small wooden box in their hands, which contained some change of clothes and treasures from Yeyangguo.
It's just that, if you look closely, one of the people who are in a hurry is a little conspicuous.
Judging from the person's outfit, it should also be an emissary, but he did not hand over his belongings to his subordinates like other emissaries, but carefully held the small wooden box in his arms, for fear of falling!
Just before this group of people passed by the palace gate, they were blocked by a group of guards who came quickly.
The leading guard, riding a tall horse, took out the token in his hand: "The queen has an order, now that the Beimo Garden has set up a theater, I hope you can go and watch." ”
The envoys looked at each other after hearing this, and now that they were about to rush back to China, how could the queen choose to invite them to watch the play at this time?
Just as everyone was whispering and discussing, the man holding the wooden box swallowed nervously, and involuntarily took a few steps back, and suddenly seemed to have hit something behind him, which frightened him and hurriedly turned back.
When he looked up, there was a delicate face, and the man was riding on horseback, smiling meaningfully at the small wooden box in his hand.
Some of them were weak-hearted and used their sleeves to block the wooden box to cover Ji Yunxiao's sight.
Be a thief! Ji Yun smiled disdainfully and hooked the corners of his mouth. As soon as he looked forward, the gray figure of Emperor Jiushu also came out of the darkness at some point, and the purple cold eyes came down from the horse's back, and the people were a little frightened, and they were even more foggy!
One of the envoys stood up and explained: "We have accepted the good intentions of the queen mother, but we still have to hurry, and when we return home, we will definitely give our majesty full authority to give you the hospitality of your country!" ”
"If this king is as expected, there are still two hours before your country's ships come to meet them, and the fastest half an hour from the palace gate to Panhu Lake, and the latest hour, the queen mother is rare to invite the envoys to watch the trick, you won't even be able to spare half an hour, right? Or would the envoys rather keep watch over the boat in the night breeze at Panhu Lake than spend a moment and a half in the Yeyang Palace? A faint voice, with the oppression of the royal family, floated down from above.
Originally, it was important to hurry, but now that the Nine Princes said this, it seems that as long as they dare to continue to take a step forward now, it will be to despise the queen, to despise the queen, and to despise the Yeyang Kingdom!
Then the name of this fellowship will exist in name only!
They can't afford that big responsibility!
"That'...... I also hope that the prince will lead the way. "After discussing it in twos and threes, I can only put down the matter of rushing first, and I only pray in my heart that the trick arranged by the queen mother is not too long, otherwise it will anger Your Majesty when you go back late, and they will not have a good time!
"Drive!"
All the way the horse's hooves kicked up dust, to the North Foam Garden.
Sure enough, the venue has been set up there, and the queen mother and some princes have already entered the table first, but there are no ministers to participate tonight.
"Bengong just suddenly remembered a very interesting trick, and was in a hurry to share it with the envoys, delaying the envoys' journey, and Bengong punished himself with a cup first." As soon as she walked in, the queen picked up her wine glass and punished herself with a glass of wine.
