Xie Chuyao looked at his smiling eyebrows, his hand involuntarily stroked it gently, and then gently kissed him on the cheek on tiptoe, but when he left, he grabbed his wrist.

"Yao'er, can you kiss another one here?" Shang Jingcheng pointed to his lips, with a playful light in his eyes.

Xie Chuyao glanced at him and said, "You really have to inch in, just kiss your cheek, and you want to kiss your lips, hum, you want to be beautiful!" With that, she grimaced at him, turned and left.

Shang Jingcheng chased after her, grabbed her hand and held it tightly, and didn't speak, just looked at her sideways with a smile, and went out with her footsteps.

They went out of the palace together, went to Kyoto Street for a stroll, and when they went back, they saw Qing Cang waiting for them at the gate of Moxuan Palace, I didn't see Qing Cang today, she was still a little strange, but now it seems that I am afraid that Shang Jingcheng sent him to do something, such as coming back after dark today.

"Master." Qing Cang shouted respectfully, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at him, and said to Xie Chuyao: "Yao'er will go back to dinner first, and I will go out with Qingcang." ”

"Will you be back tonight?" Xie Chuyao was afraid that she would never come back like she did last night.

Shang Jingcheng stroked her face with pity and said; "Come back, I'll be back, I'll never spend the night outside again." In the future, even if you encounter anything, you will do your best to return to her side.

Xie Chuyao nodded, took her hand and said, "You have to be careful." ”

Although she didn't know what he was going to do, when she saw Qing Cang, she knew that it should have something to do with those dark webs, and she was worried that he would be at the forefront of his own breakthrough in the process and get hurt without knowing it.

"Well, I know, don't worry, Yao'er, go back." After Shang Jingcheng finished speaking, he turned around and left with Qing Cang.

"Miss, where are the five princes going?" Lu Zhu led some palace maids to bring the food, and just passed by Shang Jingcheng and Qing Cang, and couldn't help but ask more.

Xie Chuyao shook his head and said, "I don't know, you put down the food and go out, Luzhu and Hongqiang, you two stay." ”

Ah Yimeng and Xie Yunyi are not in Moxuan Palace, they should have eaten at the queen's side, it is okay if they are not there, she is quieter, and she has time to think about things, and besides, her Gu medicine has not been prepared yet.

Xie Chuyao sat down and took a bite of rice, Lu Zhu and Hong Qiang glanced at each other, and then stepped forward and asked, "Miss, is the food unappetizing?" ”

She shook her head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with the food, it's just a matter of mood." Although she went out with Shang Jingcheng for a while, she was in a much better mood, but when she thought of some things, her heart would still be blocked, and she also had to think seriously about whether she was right or wrong to insist on her principles so much, if Shang Jingcheng was burdened too much because of this, could she really bear to look at it?

"Miss, you are heavy now, don't think too much, otherwise it will not be good to hurt the fetus." Lu Zhu said with some worry, after listening to that Yu Ji's words today, she can more or less know what the eldest lady is worried about, she only hates that she can't share her sorrows.

Xie Chuyao pursed her lips and smiled, and then lowered her head to pick up the rice.

At this meal, she didn't know how to eat and her heart was heavy.

At night, Shang Jingcheng came back, and there was a heavy smell of blood on his body, and it seemed that he had really killed someone.

Xie Chuyao took off his robe for him, wiped his hands again, and was about to go out to fetch water for him to soak his feet, but he stopped him.

"Don't be busy, I'll take a shower, the smell of blood on my body is uncomfortable." Shang Jingcheng frowned slightly, and his tone was a little low.

"Did you kill someone on the dark web again today?" Xie Chuyao's hand holding the handkerchief tightened involuntarily, even if those were Liguo spies, but it was also a human life, she didn't want to see such a situation, and her heart was a little uncomfortable.

Shang Jingcheng nodded, and said softly: "When we found out five people, I was only thinking about imprisoning them, but they suddenly went crazy and attacked us, so we had to do it, and the same was true of the group of people last time, presumably because we were afraid that we would be forced to ask for clues from other secret agents." At this, his face sank.

This time it was not the name given by Li Moxuan, but the people under his hands who found it out by touching the melons along with the people last time, this process is also very dangerous and arduous, and some people under his hands have disappeared because of this, so don't think about it, they must have been killed by the people of Liguo.

Xie Chuyao gently held his hand and said, "Okay, don't think about it, let's go take a shower and change clothes first." ”

Shang Jingcheng smiled at her, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, this night, there was always a dull atmosphere between them.

Early the next morning, Shang Jingcheng went to the court, these days, in order to avoid head-on conflict with those courtiers, he found an excuse not to go to the court, but this morning, the emperor specially asked Li Dehai to come over to spread the word that he went to the court, and now, she can no longer find an excuse not to go.

Stepping on the gray skylight, he slowly came to the council hall, there were already ministers standing there waiting in twos and threes, when Shang Jingcheng walked in, he saw them turn their heads to look, he nodded to a few familiar ministers, and stood at the front.

"Hey, have you heard, these five princes want to resist the decree and not accept the eldest princess and Miss Jiang's family, if this matter is allowed to continue, I am afraid that Liguo will really send troops."

"But no, how could he let this matter go unchecked? What a good two women, they actually let him refuse, how can this make the princess swallow this breath? And Jiang Shangshu is afraid that he will not be good. ”

"The emperor is so indulgent to him, isn't this a fool? And the five princesses are also really, it's not a good thing that this woman is too jealous, she will be the mother of a country in the future, how can such a person afford this title? ”

Shang Jingcheng's eyes sharply caught the whispering ministers, they thought that he would not be able to hear the whispers, but they didn't know that even if people with internal strength spoke close to their ears, they could still hear it somewhat, perhaps, they just wanted to deliberately say it to him.

When the ministers saw him over, they lowered their heads and coughed lightly, but they already had opinions about the five princes in their hearts.

"Hey, don't you really want those two to come in?" Wang Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is not very old, about the same age as Shang Jingcheng, and he also moves around on weekdays, but he is not as good as Dali Siqing, and there is some friendship between the two, so he never needs to be honored by Shang Jingcheng.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at him and did not speak.

"I said it can't be like this, this matter has spread all over Kyoto City in the past two days, and if you husband and wife continue like this, you will be cursed by the people of the entire Jin Kingdom." Wang Zheng looked at him worriedly and said.

Shang Jingcheng sneered, "What does the people of the Jin Kingdom have to do with us, it is not the turn of others to make decisions for us in the affairs between our husband and wife." He didn't like it very much.

Wang Zheng glanced at him and shook his head helplessly, he knew that some people decided something, even if they used ten cows, they couldn't pull it back.

At this time, Jiang Zhimian, a scholar of the Criminal Department, walked in slowly, and when he saw Shang Jingcheng standing at the front, his face sank, and he strode to the front of the other row, without giving him a look.

Shang Jingchen glanced at him, saw that his face was not good, and he didn't take the initiative to say hello, what should come will always come, and he never needs to rely on others to support himself.

"The emperor has arrived, all the ministers salute, go to the court!" The eunuch Li Dehai's slightly shrill voice shouted out.

As soon as they heard his voice, the ministers who were still talking immediately shut up and knelt down together.

As the bright yellow dragon robe swept by, the emperor slowly sat on the throne.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers of the whole hall shouted in unison.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." The Emperor's voice was a little more majestic than ever.

The ministers stood up one by one, and one by one they respectfully clasped their hands slightly and hung their heads slightly, and stood there honestly, waiting for the emperor's speech.

"Do you have something important to do today?" The Emperor asked lightly.

In the middle, a minister came out, hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister has something to play." ”

"Oh? What is the play of the imperial history? The Emperor looked up at him.

This He Yushi is He Tianzhi, the imperial history of the Ministry of War, and he said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I have recently found that the Liguo army is about to move, and there is a precursor to entering the army. ”

As soon as his words came out, it caused a wave of discussion among the ministers in the main hall, all of whom were just saying, how should this be, if you enter the army, the Jin Kingdom will be defeated, and so on.

The emperor raised his sleeves to signal that he knew, and then put his line of sight on Shang Jingcheng's body and asked, "Do you think the fifth prince will really send troops to attack at the moment?" ”

Shang Jingcheng hugged his fist and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the Jin Kingdom may enter the army at any time, and what we can do now is to strengthen the defense of the military department, and the minister is also constantly training the soldiers in the barracks, always ready to compete with the Li Kingdom." ”

Hearing his words, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, but opened them extremely quickly.

"Hehe, the five princes said it well, but who of us doesn't know, this Liguo suddenly acted like this, it's not because of you, originally Liguo wanted to be friendly with us, and sent the parents and princesses over, just waiting for the two countries to be harmonious, but you are good, just hang people in Kyoto City and ignore them, so many days, and don't choose a day to bring people into the door, it's strange that this Liguo doesn't get angry and send troops!" In the team, a middle-aged man who looked a little older stared at Shang Jingcheng coldly, not at all in awe because he was the fifth prince.

This person is Li Maoguang, the squire of the Criminal Department, who respects Jiang Zhimian the most on weekdays and is also one of his henchmen.
