Chapter 21: Longevity Noodles

The chill in the air made her shiver.

She quickly got out of bed, hurried to the window, pushed open the window and looked out.

The grey sky made it impossible for her to tell what time it was, but the smoke from the door-to-door cooking around her made her scalp tingle.

Noon!

When parting last night, Qin Ying specially told her not to be late to meet him at the gate of the palace today.

And she slept until now......

The three big words "it's over" kept echoing in Jiang Chuge's mind.

She washed up quickly, changed into her court clothes, and then ran out as she combed her hair.

Out of the house, Jiang Chuge ran towards the palace at a speed of nearly fifty meters.

Half an hour later, she finally arrived at the gate of the palace, panting.

From a distance, Jiang Chuge saw the long and noble figure that exuded a burst of coldness.

She hurried over, her heart was worried, and her face, red from strenuous exercise, was full of embarrassment: "Yes...... I'm sorry, Lord Yi...... I didn't mean to...... Overslept. ”

She gasped for breath and broke several times.

"Hmm."

Qin Ying nodded lightly, although the breath on his body was heavy, he couldn't see any displeasure on his face, and a few wisps of pity flashed in his deep eyes.

"Don't be so anxious in the future, this king is not responsible if you are tired."

His voice was low and soft.

"Uh, hehe...... Lord Yi, you really know how to laugh. ”

The words that seemed to be reprimanding but implied concern came into his ears, and Jiang Chuge clenched his fists nervously, just as if he didn't understand.

"You think this king is joking?"

Qin Ying frowned and asked, but in the next moment, he stretched his eyebrows.

He ignored the guards on duty at the gate of the palace, took a step forward with his slender legs, leaned over, and his thin lips came to Jiang Chuge's ear, and the hot and bewitching breath, accompanied by a low and beautiful voice, erupted: "Chu'er, this king is indeed joking with you, because what this king really wants to say is ...... If you are tired, this king will be very distressed, do you understand? ”

"It turns out that the prince is really not joking, it's noon, let's go in quickly."

Jiang Chuge's neck was itchy from the hot breath he drank, and her body trembled uncontrollably, and she took a step back in her heart, looking at it left and right.

Taking her reaction into the bottom of her eyes, Qin Ying hooked her lips with satisfaction, smiled evilly, the essence of her eyes flashed away, and her breath converged, and in an instant, she returned to her previous perfect image of calm and seriousness.

Being scolded by Qin Chenglang, Chen Yong stepped aside with a smile.

Seeing that he was laughing so badly, Qin Chenglang frowned, and his voice was displeased: "Chen Yong, are you very happy to see that I am worried?" ”

"Where? Your Majesty, the old slave is happy for you, happy for Prince Yi. ”

Chen Yong hurriedly explained, a chrysanthemum-like smile on his wrinkled face.

"Happy?"

Qin Chenglang frowned, but he was also interested, and ordered Chen Yong: "Speak clearly!" Now, if you don't have enough reason to convince me, I will have to cure you for the crime of angering Long Yan! ”

"Yes." Chen Yong replied unhurriedly, and then began his statement: "Your Majesty, since that incident six years ago, although Prince Yi has given you orders, he has always behaved indifferently and detached, not as emotional as he is now. Lord Yi has this change, doesn't it just show that he has let go? ”

Chen Yong has served two generations of emperors, and knows that over the years, the emperor has always felt guilty about King Yi because of Shen Weiran's affairs.

Now, now that King Yi has let go, the emperor should also be relieved.

Years of depression are gone!

Such a brisk happy event, he should be happy for the emperor and happy for King Yi.

After listening to Chen Yong's words, Qin Chenglang's heart was relieved, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

He was about to speak, but a small eunuch came in outside, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yi and Lord Jiang have arrived outside the study at this moment. ”

"Xuan!"

Jiang Chuge is also here!

Qin Chenglang instantly understood the reason why Qin Ying had only entered the palace at this moment, and felt more and more that Chen Yong's words were reasonable.

"Yes."

The little eunuch retreated, and soon, Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge entered the imperial study one after the other.

After the two stood still, they were about to kneel and salute, but Qin Chenglang arrived first: "You don't have to salute." ”

"Thank you, Father."

"Your Majesty."

Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge thanked each other in unison.

Jiang Chuge originally had the privilege of being exempted from kneeling before the emperor, but she had just revealed her shocking ability from Yongzhou.

On the way back to Didu, the people along the way were talking about how powerful the three-bow bed crossbow she made.

Offering advice in Shicheng, she later made explosives packets, and then made three bows and bed crossbows, and now she is famous all over the world.

At such a special moment, such a special woman, she is like walking on thin ice on the edge of the abyss, and she is cautious every step of the way, so as not to be jealous of the emperor who can not trust people the most, and lose her life in vain.

"On this trip to Yongzhou, even the military talisman in the prince's hand was used, and a fierce general like Tang Chenggang, the captain of the Huben battalion, also sacrificed his life for the country, and some people were slaughtered, and even rebels besieged the city...... What happened in Yongzhou City? ”

Qin Chenglang knew the general situation of the incident from the mouth of the King of Qi, the crown prince, and the officials sent back by Qin Ying in advance, but he did not know the original reason for Zhou Duan's rebellion.

As a wise monarch, what he has to do is not only to stop the chaos, but to solve and prevent the occurrence of some major problems from occurring at the root.

"This is a transcription of the situation in Yongzhou written by Erchen, as well as evidence of Zhou Duan's corruption and rebellion collected through various parties."

Qin Ying handed Chen Yong the written fold in his hand, as well as all the evidence, including the evidence collected by Su Li and Lu Qing.

Chen Yong hurriedly took it and respectfully presented it to the bookcase.

While Qin Chenglang picked it up and read it, he told all the things that happened in Yongzhou City, except for Zhou Duan's threat to him to take the Transformation Pill.

Jiang Chuge found that there was nothing wrong with her in this report.

What kind of wind did Qin Ying smoke, so she had to wait for her at the gate of the palace all morning?

However, no matter what wind he smoked, it didn't matter anymore.

"Jiang Chuge."

After coming out of the palace, Jiang Chuge was about to leave, but Qin Ying suddenly stopped her.

She looked back in confusion, only to see him striding towards her with a fox cloak.

Without waiting for Jiang Chuge to refuse, she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, and Qin Ying had already draped the fox fur on her and tied it for her.

"The wind is blowing, put on the cold."

is a simple seven words, but it contains endless care for her.

Jiang Chu singer lifted it halfway, but slowly put it down, was silent for a long time, and whispered to him: "Thank you Prince Yi for your care for the lower officials." ”

Qin Ying, it is impossible for me to be with you, so why should you suffer?

The word "Xiaguan" entered his ears, and the corners of Qin Ying's lips, which were slightly raised due to Jiang Chuge's cooperation, dissipated in an instant.

His thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and on his cold face, there were black waves rippling in his deep eyes, and the whole person exuded an aura of oppression and condensation.

"Let's go back."

He spat out three words in a deep voice, and finally couldn't bear to hurt her.

"Yes, the next official will retire."

Jiang Chuge took half a step back, made a gesture at him, and made a thorough manner, and then strode away under his cold gaze.

"Hehe, the fourth brother is like this, isn't King Xiang intentional, but the goddess is unintentional?"

As soon as Qin Yilin came out of the palace with his entourage, he saw the stalemate between Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge, and there was no lack of banter in his words.

Qin Ying's mood was already gloomy, and Qin Yilin deliberately stimulated him, he would not have a good face.

"The affairs of this king, the third emperor brother should not take care of it!"

Coldly dropping the sentence, he went straight on the horse and whipped away.

"Hmph~"

Qin Yilin snorted coldly, and Yin Wu's eyes were full of calculations.

Qin Ying, last time you saved the prince, it was a good thing for me!

Since you are so against me, the more women you want now, the more the king will let you not get them!

In the imperial study, since Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge left together, Qin Chenglang fell into deep thought.

Chen Yong on the side was worried about his body and wanted to persuade him to eat, but he didn't dare to speak because of his tightly knit brows.

This situation lasted for about half a stick of incense, Qin Chenglang gathered his thoughts, and instructed Chen Yong: "Proposed decree, I specially seal Liu Cheng, the shopkeeper of Liu Ji carpenter shop in Yongzhou City, as the military department ordnance supervisor from the fourth grade of the young supervisor, directly under the prince is responsible, and orders him to perform his duties within 20 days." ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

Chen Yong was about to retreat as he spoke, but was stopped by Qin Chenglang.

"Wait, make another decree to mention the ...... of the prison department"

Such a good luck event, the news naturally wears quickly.

In just one day, the entire Didu City, from seventy old women to three-year-old children, all knew about this.

After Jiang Chuge racked his brains to write his resignation, he changed into court clothes and went out to enter the palace to resign, but he heard people in the streets and alleys talking about Liu Cheng's exceptional appointment.

Puzzled, she inquired about a vegetable seller, and her heart suddenly became heavy.

Qin Chenglang obviously planned to manufacture the three-bow bed crossbow in large quantities, since he could look at the three-bow bed crossbow, then he would definitely not let go of the explosives whose lethality and killing range were above the three-bow bed crossbow.

Even if she had handed over the production method to Qin Ying, she was afraid that she would inevitably fall into trouble, even danger.

So, can she resign recently, can she still succeed?

Anyway, you have to try it first!

After some worry, Jiang Chuge made up his mind and continued to go in the direction of the palace.

Because of Qin Ying's relationship, the guards at the palace gate did not embarrass her, and after she said the purpose of this, a guard entered to report.

The news reached Chen Yong's ears layer by layer, and Chen Yong hurriedly informed Qin Chenglang, who had just left the early dynasty, of the news.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang Chuge asked to see him outside the palace, saying that he had a fold in his hand and had to present it to you in person. Do you want to make an exception to see her? ”

Hearing this, Qin Chenglang sighed for a moment and said, "Let her come in." ”

"Yes."

Chen Yong withdrew from the imperial study and passed on the order to let Jiang Chuge meet in the imperial study.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chuge appeared outside the imperial study.

Chen Yong was already waiting outside, greeted her, and led her in.

This time, Jiang Chuge still chose to kneel and bow, and Qin Chenglang did not stop her as he did yesterday.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor."

After she kowtowed, Qin Chenglang didn't immediately tell her to get up, but stared at the thin figure on the ground with his head facing him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Jiang Chuge's knees hurt that he spoke up: "Get up, Jiang Chuge, why do you have to hand it to me?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Chuge kowtowed again to thank him, then stood up strongly, and bowed his head to Qin Chenglang behind the luxurious table: "The emperor is gracious, the minister is a person from the mountains and wilderness, thanks to the emperor's great grace, he was able to enter the court as an official, but when the minister left home, his mother had words of kindness, hoping that the minister would return home as soon as possible." The minister knows that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve since ancient times, and he should give up his small family for everyone, but the position of prison magistrate is not only the minister can be competent, so the minister implores the emperor to allow the minister to go to the field and return home, and serve his mother for a long time! ”

Before the crossing, when she left her home to go to the police station for the night shift, her mother had said something similar to her.

"Work hard, come home early after work, and Mom will make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and braised prawns."

At that time, she still thought her mother was verbose and regarded her as an ignorant child, but now she is ......

Thinking of these, Jiang Chuge's eyes were already full of tears.

She disappeared suddenly, there was no news, and her mother's health was not very good, and now I am afraid it is even worse.
