Chapter 53: Peace

Yunjing stood there, anger burning in her heart, but the remaining sanity kept her where she was.

Yucheng said: "Even if you go to see the emperor, it won't be your turn." You are not qualified not to be summoned yet. What's more, when the court meeting, your master was on the scene, and he didn't act rashly, what's the use of you being in a hurry? ”

"But Senior Brother Lingjing is about to die!" Yunjing's tears almost burst out of his eyes.

Yucheng asked Juhe: "Who did the emperor send as an envoy?" ”

"I didn't mention it."

"If you send a surrender send, I'm afraid the situation will be worse. I immediately went to see the emperor, and I asked you to go and see if I could save your senior brother. ”

Yun Jing's heart rekindled hope: "Will the emperor let you go?" ”

Yucheng shook his head: "I'm not sure. The emperor knows that I am the main battle faction, and he will not necessarily let me go. may pick a surrender faction to go. As long as it's not Chiling, I can go with it. ”

Juhe asked on the side, "What if Chi Ling goes?" ”

Yucheng smiled bitterly: "If I follow him, once he finds out my identity, I will definitely die." ”

Ju He was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I think we may not be able to kill him if we join forces." ”

Yu Cheng shook his head: "He will do whatever it takes to increase his cultivation, and last time he even said that he may not be his opponent now." ”

Yucheng came to the palace, heard the guards in front of the palace say that the emperor was in the imperial study, shook his head, and walked towards the imperial study.

This emperor has always been confused about state affairs, but his love for calligraphy and painting is not a trace of falsehood, and he spends a lot of time in the imperial study every day, writing and painting. This is the day to die in the Song Kingdom, and a person who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting is allowed to take on the role of the emperor.

After the pass was passed by the close attendants, Yucheng walked into the imperial study, and sure enough, the emperor was splashing ink again, and seemed to be indifferent to who came in.

"Your Majestyβ€”" As soon as Yu Cheng spoke, the close attendant standing beside the emperor glanced at him, signaling him not to disturb the emperor's Yaxing.

Yucheng had no choice but to stand aside respectfully, waiting for the emperor's inspiration to pass.

About half an hour later, the emperor's masterpiece was finally completed. He frowned and looked at it for a long time, not too satisfied.

The attendant reminded him, "Your Majesty, Commander Chen has been waiting here for a long time. ”

As if he had just seen Yucheng, the emperor raised his head and said, "Oh? What are you looking for? ”

Yucheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for peace with the Jin Kingdom. ”

The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter: "I said that I can't draw well, it's all you people, and I can't be quiet for a moment!" ”

Yucheng hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare, he just wants to share his worries and solve problems for His Majesty." ”

"Oh? Tell me how to share worries? ”

"The minister is willing to go to the front line to negotiate with the Jin State."

The emperor asked a little suspiciously, "Haven't you always been the main battle?" Why is it so positive this time? ”

"Although the minister has always adhered to the concept of 'people don't offend me, I don't offend people', and he can't get used to seeing the Jin State bullying the border people, but this time, since His Majesty has announced that he wants to sue for peace, the minister naturally has to respond positively. If the minister goes, he will do his best to minimize the loss of our country. ”

The emperor was not moved by his earnest words, waved his hand, and said, "If only you had this heart." I have made up my mind, so you should continue to train your troops well, maybe one day when you are fully prepared, we will send troops. ”

"This ...... Dare to ask who Your Majesty sent? ”

"I told Qi Xiang to go, he is also a calm old minister, and he can rest assured that he will go to me."

Hearing this, Yu Cheng knew that it was useless to say more, so he said: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, the minister is really doing this too much. The minister then retired. ”

"Go ahead." The Emperor couldn't wait to start working on his next work.

Yucheng sighed almost inaudibly, and immediately went to the study.

After taking a few steps, Yu Cheng found that Yunjing was waiting for him not far away, and he didn't know when she would also enter the palace.

"It's good to let you wait for me in the barracks, why did you come with me?" Yucheng asked. In case she rushes into the imperial study on impulse, it will be broken.

"I'm anxious to wait, it's better to follow you, and I can know the result earlier. How did you talk to the Emperor? ”

Yu Cheng shook his head: "He has already decided on the candidate for the envoy." It's Prime Minister Qi Jing. ”

Yunjing's heart was cold. She had heard of this Qi Jing, and like Zhang Yan, he was a capitulation faction. He had always been at odds with his father, and now he couldn't talk to him.

Yucheng saw Yunjing's disappointed look, guessed what she was thinking, and said to her, "There is someone who may be able to help you talk." ”

"Who?"

"Do you know what the crown princess's surname is today?"

"The crown princess?" Yun Jing tried his best to think about it, but he had no idea who her surname was, and only vaguely remembered the arrogant woman beside Jing Yuan when he first stepped into the back garden of the East Palace. Is she the crown princess?

"The crown princess is surnamed Qi, and she is the pearl of Qi Xiang's palm."

Yun Jing was shocked: "This, could it be also Chi Ling's arrangement?" No wonder the capitulation faction was so strong in the imperial court, it turned out that their forces were all together. ”

"That's right, when Chiling asked Jing Yuan to marry Concubine Qi, he just wanted to win over Qi Jing."

"Hmph, how martial is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it turns out that he is just a puppet, at the mercy of others."

Yucheng shook his head: "The prince is not simple, he and Chi Ling are just using each other. His status is noble, and Chi Ling's mana is profound, and only when they join forces can they be sure to deal with Yu Li. ”

Yun Jing sneered: "Jingyuan has been forcing me to marry him, I'm afraid it's Chiling's idea." ”

"Definitely ill-intentioned. But, as it stands, it's hard to escape. ”

Yun Jing was silent for a while, and said, "Right now, it's important to save Senior Brother first. It's just that Jingyuan has always been my enemy, how can his concubine help me speak? ”

"It depends on what you tell Jingyuan. Whether he really wants to marry you or not, if you go to him, you have to sell your face. Yucheng turned his head, "What's more, it is unknown whether the current ones are designed by them again." ”

"Okay, since he's working hard, I'll try it with him."

Stepping into the East Palace again, Yunjing was still very uncomfortable in his heart. Last time Juhe was here, he was tortured to death by them, and the master was also placed under house arrest because of this, and all kinds of unbearable things are vivid. However, not only could he not avenge his master and Juhe, but he also had to ask the prince.

Yun Jing shook his head, it seems that the words that Shui Nan Fengqing said to persuade herself to marry the prince were not all for themselves, but really for her sake. How easy is it for a mortal to live in this world? Even immortals have a lot of last resort.

When I was young, Master once told me that there were nine times out of ten things that would not go well in life. At that time, she thought that it would be desolate to leave her home and go to the White Crane Temple to cultivate alone, but she never thought that these events she experienced now could kill people!

"Yo! This is Sister Yunjing! A female voice broke into Yunjing's ears, she followed the prestige, it was the concubine who accompanied Jingyuan last time, and she should be the princess in disguise.

The maid beside the crown princess was dexterous, and seeing that Yunjing was a little hesitant, she said, "Miss Yunjing, this is the princess and the princess." ”

Yun Jing said, "I've seen the crown princess." ”

Concubine Qi smiled on her face, but her eyes were cold: "No need to be polite, anyway, it's about to become a family, just call me sister!" After speaking, he glanced at the servant girl beside him, and the servant girl also covered her mouth and sneered.

Yun Jing was annoyed in his heart, but remembering the purpose of his trip, the person in front of him could not be offended for the time being.

"The crown princess said with a smile, you have a noble status, and I am just a cultivator, how can you say it!"

"Hey, sister, you are also the daughter of the prime minister, speaking of which, the two of us have the same background. I married His Highness earlier, so I would have been a sister. Stay until you ......"

"Li Yunjing!" Jing Yuan walked out of the hall behind Concubine Qi and interrupted what she was saying.

Concubine Qi turned around and smiled at Jing Yuan: "Your Highness, you came just in time, Sister Yunjing is looking for you!" ”

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "You go back first." But his eyes were on the clouds.

Concubine Qi looked at him and didn't want to stay longer, so she left.

"You're looking for me?" Jing Yuan took a few steps closer to Yunjing and stopped in front of her.

"Your Highness, Yunjing has something to ask for."

"Oh? Do you still have a time to ask me? Jing Yuan leaned close to Yunjing's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Did you bring a hidden weapon this time?" ”

"His Royal Highness is a step ahead, Yunjing knows that he is not an opponent, and he is willing to bow down." Yunjing suppressed his anger.

"Why, when I say good things, I don't sound right? Is this your attitude of asking for help? ”

"Then why are you willing to help me?" Yunjing asked in a low voice, feeling that he was about to be humbled to the earth.

"You know."

Yunjing bit his lip and said firmly: "As long as you promise me not to hurt the people around me, I will promise you everything." ”

Jing Yuan smiled: "Li Yunjing, don't show me the pride when you were an immortal, now you beg me, not me!" Still talk to me about conditions? ”

Yun Jing asked with red eyes, "Why don't you just kill me?" Do you really feel good about torturing me like this, one by one? ”

"You're heroic. Back then, I would rather be demoted than marry my brother, and now I'd rather die than marry me. What's so good about Zo Li that it's worth it? Jing Yuan's fists were clenched in the wide sleeves of his coat.

"I ...... I originally wanted to agree to the family affair, but you have repeatedly designed me, how can you let me marry you with confidence? ”

Jing Yuan's clenched hand unconsciously let go, and for some reason some joy rose in his heart: "When did you decide to marry me?" ”

"When Master was under house arrest."

"You finally know the times, Li Yunjing."

"So why do you have to deal with my senior brother again?"

Jing Yuan was a little unnatural, avoiding Yunjing's gaze: "That senior brother of yours, acting recklessly, will inevitably be caught......

"Jingyuan, you tell you the truth, this is still what you designed with Chi Ling, right? Senior brother is not reckless, if someone didn't deliberately provoke him, how could he fire a cannon without permission? ”
