Chapter 562: Whispering in the Night
On the fifth watch, Yue Qianqiu, escorted by the two masters of Zhou Jiyue and Yue Ying, came to the gate of the Jin Wangfu again.
Under the gaze of the two of them, he knocked on the door of the Jin Palace, and then entered in the shocked gaze of the gatehouse. Naturally, at this time, Yue Ying and Zhou Jiyue had already disappeared. The two of them sent him over first, and they had to take a long detour to pick up Song Pujia to go to Tianning Inn.
In this regard, although Yue Qianqiu said that he had fought against the priority issue, he was beaten back by Yue Ying's words.
"At least for now, you are not Sect Master Zhou's opponent, so it is the two of us who protect you to come over, not you and I to protect her and Little Miss Song to go to the Tianning Inn."
Walking in the Jin Palace, thinking that he had been teased by Yue Ying just now, Yue Qianqiu's face suddenly darkened. He admitted that because he was running around these days, he really didn't practice martial arts well, and he was good at being diligent and frolic, and he had to put his leisure aside and precipitate when he turned around, but now it's not that he doesn't look for trouble, and things come to him? Thanks to the fact that he killed two people when he was in Beiyan, otherwise his martial arts would have to regress.
Before, the Jin Wang's Mansion was already loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and at this time, Yue Qianqiu visited again at night, and found that the defense here was more strict than when he came before, and even the young guards walked quickly when they saw him, as if they wanted to check or block, but they were stopped by their older peers halfway. Faced with such a scene, he couldn't help but have an extremely bad guess.
It couldn't be that during the time he left, there were assassins in the Jin Palace, right?
He didn't ask much, but walked to Zhengbei Hall on his own, but his ears were pricked up. Faintly, his extremely sharp ears caught the sound of the two guards muttering.
"Nie Erzhu is dead, that's still the person next to the queen's mother, you still dare to stop the ninth prince, don't you want to live?"
"But what time has it been, I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin has just fallen asleep for a long time......"
"Then you don't have to come forward, look at so many people, why is there no one to stop you? His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that whenever this ninth prince comes, it doesn't matter if it is Zhengbeitang or other places, he wants to go wherever he wants! To put it mildly, you should treat this as a serious master, you are right. I think that His Royal Highness King Jin is looking for a nephew, this is obviously treating people as nephews...... No, as an ancestor! β
Yue Qianqiu heard that the green tendons on his forehead exploded several times, and he wondered if this was the older seniors teaching the younger generations, or was he just telling himself at all? Xiao Jing regarded him as an ancestor first? Phew, Xiao Jingxian can make his words clear to him, and he is going to burn high incense!
All of them are like his grandfather, half of them talk, mysterious and sneaky, and he is about to be tossed crazy!
When Yue Qianqiu came to the outside of Zhengbei Hall, he saw that the lights inside were dim, and he didn't know if Xiao Jing had fallen asleep first but kept the lamp, or if he was simply thinking about things with the lamp. Because there was not even a person waiting there at the door, he didn't know if anyone had reported to Xiao Jing about his return first, so when he got to the door, he simply coughed.
But the sound that followed in the room made him stunned.
"Who's out there?"
Little fat man? Tonight, the little fat man slept in Zhengbei Hall and Xiao Jing Xianda was slept together? Yue Qianqiu took a deep breath, then knocked on the door three times, and said angrily: "I." I didn't fall asleep, but I came in! β
After a moment of silence, the little fat man shouted from the room: "It's so late, Yue Xiaojiu, what are you doing here, and you don't let people sleep?" If you don't sleep, I'll sleep! β
Yue Qianqiu was suddenly angry: "You think I want to come, I'm about to fight at this moment, you must know that I didn't sleep well last night!" If I hadn't been confused by your assassins here, how could I have forgotten my business? β
"You can't talk about anything serious tomorrow!"
Yue Qianqiu could hear the indignation of the little fat man inside when he said this through the door, and when he heard the footsteps of people pulling their shoes out to open the door, his heart suddenly moved. If Xiao Jing was in it first, there was no reason to hear his voice and let the little fat man answer! However, before he could say anything more, the door was already pulled open in front of him, revealing the blackened face of the little fat man.
glared at Yue Qianqiu fiercely, and the little fat man raised his head and said, "If you have something to say, I'm still waiting to sleep!" β
Yue Qianqiu looked indoors, through the dim light, he saw that the curtain in front of the bed was half-hanging, and he couldn't see if there was anyone inside, so he simply asked directly: "What about King Jin?" β
As soon as he heard this, the little fat man's black face became even darker, and the next moment he yelled at Yue Qianqiu angrily: "Don't you know if you want to ask King Jin?" King Jin left me in Zhengbeitang and went out alone, regardless of whether I lived alone tonight or not! I finally fell asleep with my eyes closed, and I was woken up by you again, how did I provoke you and provoke you...... Not! β
Before the little fat man had time to vent all his bad emotions, he was dragged directly into the house by Yue Qianqiu with his mouth covered, and he was suddenly trembling with anger. He kicked his legs twice desperately, but he couldn't bear Yue Qianqiu's strength at all, so he could only watch Yue Qianqiu kick the door with his heels. He thought about biting, but Yue Qianqiu's hand was so strong that he couldn't even open his mouth, let alone use that little white tooth.
Just when he was about to cry, he only heard Yue Qianqiu whispering in his ear.
"A little bit of fun, okay? King Jin threw you in Zhengbei Hall, and there are still so many guards around, aren't they all to protect you? None of his guards told me about King Jin's departure, which shows that it is likely that only you know, this kind of trust is not enough? β
The little fat man, who was still full of anger just now, suddenly quieted down. Even if Yue Qianqiu let go of his hand, he didn't take advantage of the situation to fight back, but stood there for a while, and then glanced at Yue Qianqiu: "Why are you looking for King Jin?" β
"There are important events related to his future support." Yue Qianqiu looked around and found that the soft couch covered with a thick leather mattress was empty, he went directly to the little fat man's bed and fished out a blanket, and then sat on the soft couch, and said angrily, "I'll tell you when he comes back!" Sleep now. Didn't you say you didn't dare to sleep, I'll accompany you! β
The little fat man was so angry just now, but when Yue Qianqiu said this, and saw that people were going to lie down here to accompany him, his stomach was annoyed. No longer losing his temper, he stomped over and closed the door, and then sat back on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Hey, Yue Xiaojiu, where did you say King Jin went?"
"He didn't tell you, how could he tell me?" Yue Qianqiu, who was rolling in a blanket, was a little impatient, and he was too sleepy at this time, so he yawned and said lazily, "I think he is conceited and proud, even if he marries a daughter-in-law, if he doesn't think he can bear the secret in his heart and can move forward side by side with him, he would rather be single in this life." β
The little fat man suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked with sparkling eyes, "You think so too?" I think so too! Do you remember that King Jin said before that he took a fancy to a woman and wanted to take a concubine, but he was afraid that others would not agree, so he wanted to exchange with me? Which girl do you think he has a crush on, and how outstanding her beauty is so that he plans to take people into the room at any cost? β
Yue Qianqiu could have slept upside down, but the sudden question of the little fat man made him wake up a little. He closed his eyes and thought for a few moments before muttering angrily.
"Anyway, you don't have sisters, my sister is only a few years old, so it's not our turn to worry! is that he really likes the daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the richest man, as long as he doesn't rob the marriage, and the two of them look at each other, then let him go. To put it mildly, in addition to having a lot of eyes and being older, Xiao Jingxian is definitely a golden bachelor. β
The little fat man heard the term golden bachelor for the first time, and he felt very fresh in his heart, and after a while, he smiled and said: "If you want to talk about golden bachelors, I and you are also counted, right?" Yue Xiaojiu, tell me honestly, what kind of girl do you like? β
Yue Qianqiu was almost not taken to the ditch by the topic of the little fat man, which has a great leap forward. Doesn't this mean Xiao Jingxian? Why did it suddenly come to me? He didn't get fooled, and threw the question back with a snort.
"And what kind of girl do you like? Cheng Qianqian has been oppressed since she was a child, and she seems to be in order, but in fact, she is delicate and even ruthless? β
The little fat man was not angry this time, he held his chin, and said with a clear look in his eyes: "I said that he is the only son of my father, but I was spoiled by Feng Guifei when I was a child, I have done all kinds of messy things, and my temper is also very bad." If it weren't for you, maybe I would have been hated by my father a long time ago. So I choose a daughter-in-law, I don't care what past she has, she is smart and good, she can help me, and I can also see it, and the most important thing is that my father likes it too, so that's fine. As for whether I like it or not, cultivate it slowly! β
Yue Qianqiu couldn't imagine that the once tyrannical and impulsive little fat man would be able to say such reasonable words, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He had always thought that this was a bit exaggerated, but now there was a living example in front of him. He wanted to say a few words of encouragement and approval, but he felt too hypocritical, and finally didn't say anything.
The little fat man seemed to open the chatterbox, and said endlessly: "I told my father that I will marry whoever he wants me to marry, and my father will never harm me." I know that my father has been testing me, and I know that trying to win over those court officials is just a strategy, which not only makes people think that I can't wait, but also does half the work! But King Jin is different, my father is obviously happy to see me close to him, and he is also very good to me, reminding me of many things that I don't usually notice......"
From the nagging of the question of marrying a daughter-in-law to Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, the little fat man couldn't help but judge the former uncle of the Northern Yan noble country according to his own observations, and when he talked about dry mouth, he found that Yue Qianqiu had no reaction at all, so he tentatively called Yue Xiaojiu twice, and found that there was still no response, but the even breathing sound was clearly audible, and he suddenly became angry.
was about to jump out of bed to make Yue Qianqiu up, but he just stood on the ground and finally sat back.
Yue Qianqiu's cunning kid knows what he said, and besides, doesn't he just want to find a place to talk about it? Even if it's a tree hole, let alone a big living person? Alas, anyway, he has done his best to find a good backer for that Cheng girl, well, he really just thinks that it is not too late for her gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but he prefers that the retribution in this world will come quickly!
Unconsciously, the little fat man fell on the bed, and his eyelids gradually drooped. Well, it's really nice to have someone in the room who can definitely keep you safe......
When Xiao Jing returned to Zhengbei Hall first, it was already dawn. Listening to the guards guarding outside the courtyard wall saying that Yue Qianqiu ran back again, and now he was sleeping with King Li Yiming in Zhengbei Hall, he couldn't help but show an interesting expression, and immediately quietly came to the place where he used to live and sit and lie down.
Stretching out his hand to push the door, seeing that the latch had been lowered, Xiao Jingxian smiled, casually showed the knife that had been used to pry through the door, and gently and skillfully opened the latch in three or two clicks. When he opened the door, he used a little ingenuity, so that when the two oiled doors slid open silently, he heard no movement in the room, only two breaths.
Before he could enter the door, he could tell that one of them was a small snoring, and the other was an even, long breathing soundβapparently one was really asleep, and the other was practicing in the early morning. understood that it was not that he did not alarm Yue Qianqiu, but that the young man had already woken up and was working hard, and he would be distracted for a while, so he did not hide the sound of his footsteps anymore.
Closing the door with his backhand, Xiao Jingxian walked towards the side of the bed where the curtain was half lowered and half pulled up, and most of the quilt was still hanging on the ground. Before he could set foot on the higher level, he only heard an angry voice behind him.
"This guy was snoring and grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep for half the night last night, can you please don't wake him up and let him be quiet? It's so easy for me to be so quiet, I really don't want to listen to him anymore! β
Xiao Jing first reached out to open the half of the curtain, and saw that the little fat man on the bed was motionless, leaning on his back, and sleeping extremely indecently, he turned around and walked to the soft couch with a smile. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu's posture had been put away, he smiled and said, "Didn't you go home?" Why did you run back again? β
"Forget what's important."
Yue Qianqiu was too lazy to beat around the bush again, and finished talking about the little things he had done when he saw the emperor in the Vertical Arch Hall in one breath, and seeing that Xiao Jingxian's face was not moving, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "I know you will think that I am a burden, whatever you think." What I promised you, I will naturally try to do it, and when Master left Jinling with Ah Yuan and Ah Ning, he would have helped you find a nephew. You can keep your property for yourself, and you can support your family in the future, don't give it away like this. β
Speaking of which, he yawned and climbed off the soft couch after really not getting enough sleep.
"Bring what I have to say, let's go. By the way, I made a lot of messy bold speculations with my grandfather and Ji Yue yesterday, if I didn't splash you with cold water, it is unknown whether the person you are looking for is a nephew or a niece, and even whether there is such a person is unknown. Sometimes, I hope that it is better not to hold it so big. I don't think even you know your sister. β
When she pulled her shoes and walked to the door, Yue Qianqiu stopped again.
"There is one more thing, Ji Yue sent Xiao Qingqing's daughter Xiao Jingjing to Tianning Inn yesterday, and found a strange thing. That Red Moon Palace Lord is sick, and it doesn't seem to be light. If you care, go and see, and if you don't, I don't say anything. In the next few days, Jinling will be eventful, you remind Ying Xiaopang to go back early, safety is important. β
