Chapter 73: Expulsion from Nanyang
Facing Changlin's provocative eyes, Ji Chaoge's heart sank, and he sneered: "Even so, Xin'er is still my princess, and in her heart, I am more important than anyone else." ”
"Really? Prince Ji thinks that in His Royal Highness's heart, you are the most important? Don't talk too much, trust me, soon you won't. After Changlin finished speaking, he walked away, wearing a white shirt reflecting the sun, and it was slightly yellowed.
When Ji Qingqing saw that he was leaving, she hurriedly carried her skirt and wanted to catch up, but before she could take three steps, she was stopped by Ji Chaoge.
"Stop!" Ji Chaoge's eyes were slightly cold, and he shouted coldly.
Looking at Changlin's back as he gradually walked away, Ji Qingqing's face flushed with anxiety, "Brother, you let me go, you let me go." ”
"No way!" Ji Chaoge shook her head, seeing that she was so anxious that she couldn't stay still for a moment, a bad feeling slipped through her heart. "What happened yesterday? Where did you go last night? ”
"Oh brother, can you chase people back first, and then talk about this." Seeing the back of the golden sunlight disappear from sight, Ji Qingqing's eyes were red in a hurry. "Brother, Changlin is gone."
Seeing her call him by his name, Ji Chaoge's expression was slightly cold, "Call him by his name, you know him very well?" ”
Vaguely aware that her brother's expression was wrong, Ji Qingqing lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with a face full of grievances. "He saved my life, and I haven't repaid him yet." Saying that, he ran out with his skirt, but where was Lu Changlin's figure, and his eyes were full of soldiers from Nanyang Palace. "Brother, he's gone."
"I'll talk about it later." Ji Chaoge looked cold, took the cloak in Qingfeng's hand and tied it for her, and ordered the maid to help her into the carriage.
"Brother." Ji Qingqing's love was at the beginning of her love, and it was when her love was strong, for fear that she would say goodbye forever, and her big foggy eyes were full of tears. "I don't want him to go."
Seeing this, Ji Chaoge's sword eyebrows tightened, waved her hand and forced her into the carriage, turned over and forced Ji Qingqing back to the palace.
The carriage entered the backyard directly from the back door of the palace, and Ji Chaoge rode with him, and when the carriage stopped, he said to Qingfeng: "Send the county lord down to rest." ”
"I don't want it, brother, I want to see Changlin, I want to repay him." Ji Qingqing panicked all the way, and wanted to jump out of the car to find Changlin, but she didn't dare in front of her brother. At this moment, I finally returned to the palace, and I was about to sneak out to find him, how could I be watched by Qingfeng and go back to Furong Garden to rest?
Seeing her insistence, Ji Chaoge sat on horseback and looked at her condescendingly, and asked in a dumb voice for a while: "Did he do anything to you last night?" ”
Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and Qingqing is a young and impulsive age, if she really does something, it is not impossible.
Thinking of his sacrifice to save himself when he fell off the cliff, and the gentleness when he breathed with his mouth, Ji Qingqing's pretty face immediately burned. "Brother, don't ask."
"If you don't say, how can I make the decision for you?" She looks like a girl with a spring in her life, what else does Ji Chaoge not understand? It's just that Changlin is not a good person, and he may not have much sincerity towards Qingqing, and it is not suitable for Qingqing.
As soon as Ji Qingqing heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said happily: "Brother doesn't dislike his background, is he willing to fulfill us?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Chaoge's expression was slightly cold, his arm hung down at his side, and the agarwood bracelet slid down his wrist into his palm, and he clenched it hard. "You like him?"
"Yes, I like him." Facing Ji Chaoge's vague eyes, Ji Qingqing straightened her back and nodded heavily. "Brother, he saved my life, and I have a skin-to-skin relationship, I have no choice but to marry him, and I ask my brother to fulfill it."
There was no choice, Ji Chaoge laughed angrily, staring at her eyes with a slight gloom, and her throat was dry for a while. "Does he like you?"
"I'm sure he'll like me one day." Ji Qingqing opened a pair of bright apricot eyes, and the brilliance in her eyes made Ji Chaoge unbearable.
When will that day be? If you like someone, you may only need to see it, but if you want to be liked by your sweetheart, you may not be able to succeed in your life. But Ji Chaoge couldn't say these words, and he couldn't bear to pour cold water on Ji Qingqing, who was just starting to fall in love.
In the end, Ji Qingqing couldn't leave the palace, no matter how coquettish she was, Qingfeng didn't respond, and directly asked the shadow guard to show up and follow her step by step.
Thinking of Lu Changlin's identity, Ji Chaoge walked towards the south courtyard with a slightly cold face, and before he entered the south courtyard, he was stopped by a sweaty housekeeper.
"Lord Wang, Lord Songquan handed over the greeting post, saying that he had an urgent matter to see."
Pine Spring? Ji Chaoge's face immediately showed anger, and he turned around and walked towards the front hall with his feet raised, his thin lips pursed with anger. "Where are the people?"
"If you go back to the prince, people are waiting in the flower hall." The butler saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly responded. "Would you like to invite the princess to come over?"
"No, don't let people disturb the princess's rest." Ji Chaoge walked away, the hem embroidered with pine, bamboo and cranes flew for a while, and in the blink of an eye, the person crossed the cloud gate and stepped into the flower hall. "The county lord of Qinyang really kept his word, and before he arrived, he found out about the assassination of His Royal Highness."
Songquan, who was getting up to salute, was shocked when he heard this, so he could only bow down and salute, and said in fear: "I heard that the prince was poisoned, and the students came to offer medicine to solve the prince's urgent need." ”
"Giving medicine?" Ji Chaoge's face turned cold, and his eyes looked at Songquan with a cloudy look, and his cold eyes like essence made Songquan break out in a cold sweat. "You're not here to give an account to the king?"
Cold sweat slid down his forehead, and against Ji Chaoge's gloomy gaze, Songquan scolded Qin Fengya in his heart! The county lord who has more than enough success and more failures, he really can't figure out why the prince I Yingming would hand over such an important matter of alliance with Nanyang to her!
"Dare to ask the prince, what did the county lord promise you?" Cold sweat slid down his neck and into the placket, and it was already late autumn, but Songquan began to break out in a cold sweat.
Pursing his lips slightly, Ji Chaoge's face was not good, and he raised his lips and sneered: "Why does Mr. ask knowingly?" Yesterday, His Highness returned to the city and encountered an assassin, an arrow pierced his chest and fell into the water in distress, and he has not woken up until now. This matter was done by the Qin Yang assassins, what else can Mr. say? ”
In fact, as early as yesterday, Songquan was caught by Qin Fengya and asked about his guilt, but this matter really has nothing to do with him, and he is still not sure whether this matter is related to the prince.
Now that the king of Nanyang has caught him and asked for an explanation, can he afford this explanation? I can't afford it! "The prince is angry, the students really don't know about this matter, they really don't know."
Seeing that he didn't want to admit that this matter was done by King Qinyang, Ji Chaoge simply frowned and said coldly: "Since Mr. doesn't want to tell the truth, then I can't complain about this king." Someone came to pass the order, and from now on, all the people in the city from Qinyang would be sent out of Nanyang City. ”
Is he going to expel all the people from Qinyang from Nanyang? Songquan looked at Ji Chaoge dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears. "Lord Wang, this matter has nothing to do with the people of Qinyang, why do you want to be angry with the innocent people?"
"Innocent? Your people in Qinyang are innocent, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not innocent? Isn't this king, who was innocently angered by His Majesty, innocent? Songquan, this matter is your Qin Yang's fault first, and this king is just a tooth for a tooth. Ji Chaoge sneered, not taking back the meaning of his fate.
A good sentence of for tat, does the king of Nanyang disdain even the least cover-up now? Songquan was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and explained with a smiling face: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry." Please give the students time, the students will definitely find out about the assassination of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and give you and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a satisfactory answer. ”
"No need!" Ji Chaoge waved his hand and said unkindly: "This king gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't catch it yourself, so you can't complain about this king!" Breeze, send-off. Remember, this king wants you to personally send the envoy of Qinyang out of the city. ”
Qingfeng led the crowd out and asked Songquan, "Mr. Song, please." ”
Is there no room for turnaround? Songquan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and pleaded with Ji Chaoge, "Lord Wang, please give Qin Yang another chance, and the student assures you that he will not let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess suffer in vain." ”
Hearing this, Ji Chaoge deliberately made a wavering expression, and asked coldly, "How long?" ”
"Three days! As long as it takes three days, the student will definitely investigate this matter clearly and give me justice to Qin Yang. "Songquan has nothing to do with Qin Yang, even if it is done by King Qinyang, he can't admit it, otherwise with Ji Chaoge's temperament to protect his shortcomings, I am afraid that the cooperation between the two places will have more twists and turns.
"Three days? It's been too long, the breeze, send Mr. Song out of the city. Ji Chaoge's eyes sank, and he rebuked unhappily.
Three days or more? Songquan had no choice but to be invited out of the palace by Qingfeng, standing in front of the stone lion in the palace, and sighed silently. "Qingfeng Gongzi, dare to ask the prince why he doesn't trust me Qin Yang so much, the assassination of the eldest princess really has nothing to do with me Qin Yang."
If it weren't for seeing with his own eyes how miserable the princess was, Qingfeng would probably have been really confused by his rhetoric. An arrow passed through the shoulder, and fell from the trestle into the moat, and soaked in the turbulent and icy river water for so long, such an injury was unbearable for the man, but the princess not only suffered but also comforted the prince that she was fine. Who doesn't admire such a princess who understands righteousness and perseverance?
"Mr. Song should say this to the prince, and it is useless to talk to me. Sir, instead of wasting his tongue with me, it is better to think about how Qin Yang will explain to King Qin Yang. Qingfeng was not so easy to fool, and kicked the problem back in four or two.
Songquan had no choice but to go back to the other courtyard with a sad stomach, intending to tell Qin Fengya about it, but before he entered the main courtyard, he heard Qin Fengya's unbridled laughter from a distance.
"Who's coming? Why is the county lord so happy? "She is about to be expelled from Nanyang, she is still in the mood to laugh so presumptuous? Songquan turned his head to ask Qin Ke, but saw that Qin Ke was also excited.
Qin Ke was naturally happy, and whispered to Songquan: "Sir, great joy, Mr. Shen is here." ”
"Mr. Shen? Which Mr. Shen? Songquan was stunned, his footsteps accelerated into the main courtyard, and he saw a dark figure standing under the tree like a sheathed sword from a distance, teaching Qin Fengya to dance the sword. How did he get here? ”
