Chapter 106: Undercurrent
"Yue'er? How did you come here? Jing Ge was surprised, at this time, she should sit in the imperial capital.
Shangguan Junyue glanced at him from afar, and saw that he was in good spirits and full of vitality, not at all as if he was sick. She was very pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect Jing Ge to be cured of the hidden disease this time she traveled west.
How could there be such an incredible person over there, who could heal him, and I had to find a time to ask him the details of the reason.
Shangguan Junyue was extremely happy to see him return unharmed, only he had him in his eyes and couldn't see anything else. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he realized that he was riding with a woman at this time, holding her with one hand.
Just like on the way home, he hugged himself.
For a while, her joy came to naught, and she didn't answer Jing Ge's words, but just turned her horse's head and went back in the direction of the imperial capital, and the horse's speed was two points faster than when she came.
Lu Yao followed closely behind her, not daring to speak, she knew that her young lady's mood must be very complicated at the moment, and her joy and anger were extremely mixed.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, you..." Jing Ge shouted twice, subconsciously wanting to ride a horse to chase after him to explain, but after thinking about it for a while, Yu Jue was still in his arms at this time, and it was really inappropriate to catch up like this.
"Did I cause Miss Yue'er to misunderstand you?" Yu Jue suddenly turned her head and asked.
"Well, not really." Jing Ge replied a little embarrassed.
Is it really Yue'er's misunderstanding? Could it really be that Yu Jue is sick so she wants to protect her back, and there is no other selfishness? Jing Ge asked himself. If there is, then it is not a misunderstanding, and how can it be explained?
Holding Yu Jue in his arms, but he never forgot Yue'er, and he didn't know what Yu Jue would think about what he did just now.
It was really shameless, Jing Ge's face was as thick as the city wall, and he felt ashamed.
"It's noon now, why don't we go to the post station and rest for a few hours before leaving?" The empathetic Qianxue saw Jingge's embarrassment and proposed.
Shangguan Junyue has just left, so it's not easy to follow too closely, in case you meet it again. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Jing Ge, it was normal for a generation of princes to have three wives and four concubines.
It's just that the women His Highness met were all very arrogant, especially Miss Shangguan and Miss Yujue, the two of them were obviously in conflict with each other, and they didn't look at each other well, and they didn't deal with each other.
"Well, let's go later." Jing Ge nodded, he was also a little messy, and in terms of feelings, he always didn't handle it well.
Shangguan Junyue did not stop at the post station, hurried without eating or drinking, and drove 800 miles in one go, and when he returned to the imperial capital, the night was still not half over.
"Miss, I'll go get you some food." Lu Yao said distressedly.
"No need, I don't want to eat, you can go eat some by yourself, and let someone check the origin of that woman, I always feel that she is not like an ordinary person." Shangguan Junyue stood in the hall and said, knowing that Lu Yao was tired and sleepy.
Lu Yao knew that the woman naturally referred to Yu Jue, and immediately went down as she said.
The gusts of wind blew, the lights in the hall flickered on and off, and a figure hidden in a black robe appeared in the prime minister's mansion, veiled.
"Where have you been these two days?" The black-robed man asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's just going out for a walk." Shangguan Junyue turned around and answered.
The black-robed man didn't bother with this question, it seemed that she just asked casually, she slowly approached Shangguan Junyue, stretched out her hand to take off the veil and said, "This is a God-given opportunity, the more chaotic the court situation, the better it is for us." I only hope that the Qi State will attack Daqin as soon as possible, so that the Empress Wu will not be able to sit in that position. ”
Shangguan Junyue glanced at her deeply and said, "If the two countries are at war, it will inevitably ruin lives, waste people and money, and may even endanger the foundation of Great Qin. ”
"Hmph, small sacrifices are inevitable, when I take reins of Daqin, I will sweep away many thieves, and now I want to make chaos in this world." The black-robed woman said in a cold voice, her eyes grim.
"So you let people poison Li Li? Want the kings to compete for the throne and add chaos to chaos? Shangguan Junyue asked, His Majesty the Emperor happened to be seriously ill, and it was no accident.
"Yes, once they kill each other, we can wait for an opportunity." The black-robed woman replied.
"Why didn't you consult with me beforehand? It can be seen that such an act will bring unpredictable consequences. I don't see that now the rebellion is everywhere, Xiliang is eyeing the tiger, if the surrounding treason wins, Xiliang takes the opportunity to break through the Yanmen Pass. What's the use of regaining the helm of Great Qin? Shangguan Junyue said coldly, with anger in her voice.
"Shut up, I'm your mother, have I ever asked you about my actions?" The black-robed woman raised her hand and slapped Shangguan Junyue and shouted.
Shangguan Junyue didn't dodge, and didn't speak anymore, just silent. There is inevitably some disappointment in their hearts, these people don't care about the life or death of the people at all, they just want to achieve their goals by unscrupulous means.
"What are Wu Mei's plans for that slut?" The black-robed woman continued.
"She is going to send an envoy to persuade the King of Qi to stop his army, and the candidate has not yet been determined." Shangguan Junyue replied.
"Then we can't let the mission go to the Qi country, we have to design to make Qi and Qin fight." The black-robed woman said.
"Do you have any way to bring the two countries against each other?" She asked again.
Shangguan Junyue didn't speak, just shook her head, she had countless methods, but she didn't want to say it.
"Mother, you have endured humiliation for twenty years, so why rush now." Shangguan Junyue persuaded him, "When the Quartet is stable, Li Li will die, and the emperor will definitely fall on Li Qi's head." At that time, we will plan again, so that the second prince Li Ying will lead the Hedong Army to besiege the imperial capital Luoyang and seize the throne. ”
"I have gained the trust of Empress Wu, but I can respond in the palace and persuade her to let General Shangguan lead the Hejian army into the imperial capital in the name of King Qin. That's when everything is under control. ”
"It's because I've waited so long that I don't want to wait any longer. The current move is merely aimed at speeding up the process. The black-robed woman said.
"But in this current situation, if the two major armies of Great Qin fight among themselves, it will lead to a large area of rivers and mountains in the territory being unguarded, and then the heroes will cut the land and occupy one side each. We're going to have to spend dozens of times more effort to quell the chaos. Shangguan Junyue said bitterly.
"Everything needs to be prioritized, don't rush for quick success, so that the vitality of Great Qin will be greatly damaged and the national fortune will be weakened." Shangguan Junyue continued.
"Hmph, Wu'er is the true son of the dragon, he reascended to the throne of the Great Qin Emperor, and the country is bound to be long, and his fortune is prosperous, so why not say anything about weakness." The black-robed woman said coldly.
"If Mother insists on going her own way, then please send another person to take Yue'er's place." Shangguan Junyue flicked her sleeves and turned her back.
"You... How dare you threaten me? The black-robed woman screamed angrily.
Shangguan Junyue didn't answer or look back, she just looked at the wall of the hall in front of her fixedly, she didn't want to do things that made Qin Guo hurt.
"Okay, that's what you planned." Eventually, she relented. She knew that no one could replace Shangguan Junyue, only she and herself were as talented as herself, and the rest of them were not enough to take on this important task. Even if you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do for the time being.
The candle flame dimmed slightly, and the black-robed woman quietly disappeared as she came.
It took a while for Lu Yao to walk in with food.
"Is Madame here?" Although the candle flame was dim, she still saw Shangguan Junyue's face slightly red and swollen.
Shangguan Junyue nodded, not knowing what she was thinking.
"But blame Miss?" Lu Yao asked in a low voice, Madame has never been too good to Miss, and only spoils Son.
Shangguan Junyue shook her head and said, "I'm wondering, should we really do this?" ”
"Naturally, it should be, you and Gongzi are the orthodox royal family of Great Qin, and those thieves should be punished." Lu Yao said.
"Oh, royalty, is it really an orthodox royal family? Because I and his father are the former crown princes? So he should inherit the throne? Shangguan Junyue muttered.
Lu Yao didn't answer, she knew that the young lady was not asking her, but herself.
If he is not helped to ascend the throne, in the future, the country of Great Qin will always fall on the head of a certain prince of the Li family. Among them, none of them looked like Mingjun, who was both stupid and cruel.
Although his younger brother is not necessarily much better, he is also on his side, and he should still be able to listen to a few words of advice. Shangguan Junyue thought to herself.
When she was seven years old, she learned that she was not Shangguan Junhong's biological daughter, but was secretly taken home by Shangguan Junhong on a blood-stained night. Later, she went to the Valley of the Medicine King, where she had survived her mother and a younger brother.
"Miss, it's late at night, and there is a morning meeting tomorrow, so it's better to rest early." Lu Yao reminded in a low voice beside her, since she didn't want to eat, it was good to sleep for a while.
Thinking of the court meeting, Shangguan Junyue was even less sleepy. The candidate for the envoy to Qi has not yet been decided, and due to the great change half a year ago, most of the 100 officials in the DPRK and China have not been in office for a long time, and they can't think of anyone who can take on the important task for a while.
If you really can't do it, you have to run it yourself. It is expected that the Qi State is not determined to start a war with the Qin State, and wait until the Qi State retreats. Then he sent generals to quell the rebellions in southern Xinjiang and Wudi. In this way, the situation should stabilize a little.
She entered the palace to see Li Li, and if no one continued to make secret moves, he would be able to hold on for a while.
There is a plan in my heart, and my worries have dissipated a lot. There were still a few hours before dawn, and she washed up hastily and went to bed.
