Chapter 168: Yun Qi dies

After Yun Qi left, Fang Yuanxu instructed the housekeeper to wipe the blood on the ground, and reconciled with Prime Minister Chu and several old ministers of the court, making the atmosphere warm again.

In order to get more auspicious atmosphere, the old official leaned towards Yu Yin, smiled and toasted her with tea instead of wine, Yu Yin was tired of coping, so he simply fell on Liang Yan, pulled his sleeve to cover his face, and pretended to be sleepy.

Liang Yan was afraid that she would run around and cause trouble, and he was very satisfied when he saw her staying by his side so peacefully. I thought of a way to send the toasting official away, sat quietly in the chief, and straightened her back so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Under his indulgence, Yu Yin actually fell asleep, Fang Shangshu saw this and specially instructed the housekeeper to find a good wing, Liang Yan apologized and walked to the wing.

In the palace, Qi Yang stood in the imperial garden wearing a slightly casual shirt, with a simple but luxurious and restrained golden crown on his head, and a dark python robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

He stood facing the pear tree on the west side of the Imperial Garden, and not far behind him was Jing Xiu, who was quietly waiting.

There are no others in the imperial garden, the atmosphere is very quiet, the garden is full of flowers, and the pear blossoms that are better than the snow are so elegant that they are out of place.

While waiting for news from Fang Fu, Qi Yang quietly looked at this very different pear tree, the pear tree that was still full of flowers in the middle of summer, Xiao Yin'er's favorite pear tree.

"Jing Xiu, what do you think of the current situation?"

The voice was low and quite threatening, although Qi Yang's words were a little clueless, Jing Xiu could also understand the deep meaning in the conversation.

His Majesty is asking about what is about to happen today, because of the entrustment of the first emperor, he has become the chief steward of His Majesty's side today, and his status is the same as that of the former Gao Gonggong.

When His Majesty was discussing matters, he was always waiting by his side, and he was clear about the disintegration of the Triple Alliance.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and well-planned, and you will definitely get what you want."

Jing Xiu's answer was not painful, his face was respectful for thousands of years, and there were no waves in Shentan's eyes.

His Majesty actually had a deeper meaning, but he didn't want to answer.

Listening to his flattering words, Qi Yang suddenly felt a little powerless.

Jing Xiu's life experience is a mystery, and he wears a mask of song and affection on his face all the year round, and only in front of Xiao Yin'er will he have a little sincerity.

But his father told him that Jing Xiu has great talents, and if he can make good use of it, it will definitely be a big help.

My father also said that although the relationship between interests is tough, the relationship between feelings is stronger, and if feelings are the skeleton and interests are flesh and blood, it will be the most unbreakable relationship in the world.

This is also the reason why he deliberately chose to be under the silver pear.

Qi Yang turned around, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him who almost didn't care about anything with a slightly sharp gaze, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his heart.

Now the Qi country is in danger, and he can no longer withstand any hardships, the person in front of him has been in the palace of Qi for nearly 20 years, and he is already a tree with deep roots, if he has a different heart, he must be removed!

After twenty years of ups and downs, Jing Xiu's ability to observe words and emotions is unmatched, he didn't directly question Qi Yang if he believed him, but replied coldly and respectfully: "I won't watch the princess have an accident." ”

The implication is that it will not let the Qi country fall into chaos and let Yu Yin fall into danger.

The sun is setting, and the brilliant clouds are piling up on the horizon, making the whole world warm and peaceful. The afterglow falls on the pear blossoms, adding a pink glow to the milky white flowers, like a group of happy children, huddled together for a nap after being tired of playing.

Whether it was Qi Yang or Jing Xiu, they all seemed to have glimpsed Yuyin's quirky smile from among the pear blossoms, and heard her crisp and pleasant laughter.

Many people at the banquet left, not to say goodbye, but to get up and wander around the Fang Mansion, taking advantage of the cool breeze to wake up the surging wine.

Soon after Liang Yan left with Yu Yin in his arms, Gu Tiancheng also stroked his gradually drowsy head and went to another side room with Zuo Wan's support.

Zhu Li's eyes were light, and he lazily brought the wine glass to his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were ghostly smiles.

It's time!

He pushed away the teased handmaid with a youthful face, and walked out leisurely.

Yu Yin lay on the bed and fell asleep soundly, Liang Yan was called away by Xin Yun half an hour ago, and now there is only the fifteenth guard of the first day in the courtyard.

When it came to her safety, the two of them did not dare to slack off, releasing all their murderous aura, warning anyone who tried to get closer.

This courtyard is wide and secluded, with a lake in front and bamboo forests on both sides, and the cool breeze is very refreshing and pleasant in summer, and it is the cool place of Fang Shangshu's wife in the middle of summer.

Next to Bibo Lake, a man in a brocade robe with gold wire trim was stumbling this way, his face was crimson, his breath was chaotic, and there was something wrong at first glance.

When the man was about to approach Qingzhuyuan, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and the person disappeared.

Huai Su walked out of the darkness with a contemptuous smile, glanced at the courtyard with a light smile, and then looked to the west, and snorted coldly: "If you dare to do something to the person I value, you should suffer the consequences!" ”

After saying that, he also disappeared.

Yu Yin slept soundly, completely unaware of what was going on outside, and she purred faintly from time to time, like a snoozing kitten.

What happened after the banquet exceeded everyone's expectations, whether it was Gu Tiancheng who designed it, the intention to kill two birds with one stone, or even the aftermath of wanting to plan it out......

A frightened and shrill cry pierced the slowly approaching night, disturbing the noisy and enthusiastic orchestra, and the guests, who had been drunk in high spirits, were like cold water on their heads, and instantly sobered up, and hurried along the place where the screams had come.

On the west side of Bibo Lake lay a soaking wet man with a slightly pale face. The man's clothes were disheveled, and there were strange marks on his collarbones.

However, everyone's attention was on the man's face, because the man was the nephew of Queen Canaan, Yun Qi.

Yun Qi is the representative of Canaan to the Qi State, and now he is dead in the Qi State, which is extremely serious in nature, and if it is not handled well, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Prime Minister Chu, Du Shangshu, Fang Shangshu and others talked in a low voice, with a solemn face, and then immediately blocked the whole mansion, bound to find out the murderer of the Canaanite envoy.

Fang Shangshu sent a message to the outside world, found the forbidden army guarding the tranquility of Yundu to guard the outside of the mansion, and then searched courtyard by courtyard with Commander Qin.

The aftermath was woken up by the sound of searching for the Assassin.

She rubbed her eyes and asked Fifteen, half-asleep, "What's going on outside?" ”

Fifteen frowned and looked at the first year of the accompanying Qin Commander, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Canaan envoy was thrown his body in the Bibo Lake. ”

In order to search for the assassins, the battle was huge, and the soldiers of the Fang Mansion, the forbidden army led by Commander Qin, and the guards around Yun Qi were all searching around.

There were many and mixed people, and no one knew if there were any assassins among them, and if there was anyone harboring evil intentions, Fifteen stood tightly beside Yu Yin, vigilantly distinguishing any one of them who might make a difference.

"Not here."

"Not here."

"Report, nowhere else."

Commander Qin clasped his fists and saluted, and his voice was like a bell: "I have disturbed Her Royal Highness the Princess, please forgive me." ”

After saying that, he left with the forbidden army, and the courtyard quickly returned to quiet.

Yu Yin was no longer sleepy, and told the fifteenth day of the first year to watch the excitement with her.
