"King Chen has indeed made great contributions this time, and I am also very happy in my heart. But at present, there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and this matter needs to be solved urgently, can General Qi be sure that he can answer the three questions of the Shen family? ”

"Back to the emperor, Qi Yu is already a person in the army, so he will naturally do his best. It's just ......" Shangguan Jiyue paused slightly, and then said, "It's just that if Qi Yu can fulfill the emperor's entrustment and successfully let the Shen family take out the 100,000 taels of gold and solve the urgent needs of the army in front, what benefits can Qi Yu get?" ”

When Gonggong Jiang on the side heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Shangguan Jiyue, and quickly lowered his eyes and was silent.

When Emperor Beicang heard this, he carefully looked at the woman standing straight in front of him, listened to her words that were neither humble nor arrogant, and said lightly: "What benefits does General Qi want?" ”

"If Qi Yu can complete this mission this time, Qi Yu has only one request," Shangguan Jiyue suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed her hand, her expression was firm, "Please allow Qi Yu to return to the barracks!" ”

"What if you can't finish it?"

"If it can't be done, Qi Yu will let the emperor fall!"

Emperor Beicang was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay! I promise you that if you can successfully get the 100,000 taels of gold from the Shen family, I will allow you to return to the barracks and lead the troops to the battle! If you can't do that, I'll remove you from your position as a general and never reuse it, do you have any opinions? ”

"Good! Wei Qiyu has no opinion, Emperor Xie! ”

"Don't thank you yet, it's never too late to thank you when you've completed the task! Half a month, you go down and prepare first. ”

"Yes, Qi Yu is retiring!"

After Shangguan Jiyue withdrew, Emperor Beicang sighed softly, pinched his eyebrows, leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair.

Seeing this, Gonggong Jiang immediately stepped forward, handed a cup of hot tea, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, drink a cup of hot tea and rest." ”

Huang Fuhao took the cup, took a shallow sip and put it back on the table: "I'm right, right?" With her temperament, she will definitely mention conditions to me. ”

"The emperor is really like a god. It's just that if General Qi really completes this matter this time, what if the hundred officials stop it again? ”

When Emperor Beicang heard this, he snorted lightly and said with a smile: "What they didn't do, but was done by a girl, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'm afraid that I can't wait to dig a pit and bury myself, where will there be that face to hinder Qi Yu's return to the camp again." ”

When Gonggong Jiang heard this, he smiled: "The emperor's name!" ”

Shangguan Jiyue came out of the imperial study, in addition to Xiao Hong and others outside the door, there was a green-clothed palace maid who she didn't know, looking at the palace clothes on her body, she shouldn't be an ordinary rough palace maid.

Seeing Shangguan Jiyue, who was dressed in plain women's clothes, came out, the palace maid immediately stepped forward, leaned over and saluted, and said, "General Qi, the queen mother learned that you entered the palace today, and specially asked the slave maid to come and invite you to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers." ”

"The Queen?"

"Yes, the queen mother ordered the slaves and maids to wait for General Qi here."

Shangguan Jiyue's eyebrows twisted slightly, and after a little contemplation, she understood that when she entered the palace, so many people in the palace saw it, and it was not surprising that the Night Queen knew.

"Since the mother is invited, how can Qi Yu not go? In this way, I have to bother this girl to lead the way. ”

"General Qi, please."

Seeing Shangguan Jiyue agree, the green-clothed palace maid was overjoyed, and blessed Xiao Hong and Shangguan Jiyue again, and moved forward to lead the way for Shangguan Jiyue.

Shangguan Jiyue smiled helplessly at Xiao Hong, and arched her hand: "Commander Xiao, Qi Yu will leave first." ”

Xiao Hong also smiled immediately and returned the salute: "General Qi walks slowly, and when we have the opportunity, we will meet again another day." ”

Shangguan Jiyue followed the little palace maid who led the way, all the way to a small pavilion in the imperial garden, and sure enough, she saw the night queen in a yellow robe, but in addition to the night queen, there was also the crown prince Fu Jin.

At the moment of seeing Huangfu Jin, Shangguan Jiyue frowned invisibly. But since he had come here, he didn't turn his head and leave, so he had to step forward, bow to the two of them, and say, "Qi Yu see the queen mother, see His Royal Highness the prince!" ”

"General Qi, hurry up and excuse me."

The Night Queen looked at Shangguan Jiyue and smiled gently.

And Huangfu Jin's eyes were burning, and his eyes kept falling on Shangguan Jiyue's delicate little face, seeing that her expression was faint, she frowned almost invisibly, and she only felt sullen and uncomfortable in her heart.

Is she so reluctant to see herself?

Shangguan Jiyue didn't seem to see the injury in Huangfu Jin's eyes, and only sat on the padded stone bench beside the Night Queen as she said.

"General Qi, this palace also heard that you entered the palace to face the saint, so people came to find you, didn't delay your affairs, right?"

Niangniang smiled, Qi Yu was an idler, where would there be anything important. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is entangled in affairs, also finds time to accompany the queen to enjoy this spring scene of a hundred flowers, which is really rare filial piety. ”

"It's good if you don't have it." Seeing Shangguan Jiyue's detached and sarcastic tone, the Night Queen raised her eyes to look in the direction of Huangfu Jin, and said softly, "Jin'er, have you seen your father when you enter the palace?" ”

"Queen Mother," Huangfu Jin naturally understood that the Night Queen wanted to break him away, but he had to tell the truth and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen my father yet." ”

"Go and meet your father, he has been worrying about the food and grass in the army for the past two days, you can go and see if you can help him share some of it."

"Yes."

When Huangfu Jin heard this, although he was reluctant, he still bowed respectfully and retreated, and glanced deeply at Shangguan Jiyue before leaving.

As soon as Huangfu Jin left, the Night Queen also retreated left and right, and asked straight to the point: "General Qi, the matter in front of the Tianchen Palace, the palace has also heard a little about the matter in front of the Tianchen Palace, and it is the prince who does not know the seriousness, which caused you trouble......

"Niangniang, the matter has passed, and Qi Yu didn't take it to heart. As for those gossips, Qi Yu knows who he knows best in his heart, and he doesn't care about anything. ”

"This palace naturally knows that you only have King Chen in your heart, but Jin'er is only afraid that he has true feelings for you." The Night Queen sighed, "Just now, he also begged the palace to make decisions for him, saying that he would marry you as the crown princess. ”

Shangguan Jiyue's heart was shocked: "Niangniang agreed?" ”

"Naturally, no."

"Why?"

"Because this palace knows that even if this palace agrees, it will be in vain, you have a strong temperament, and you don't have the position of the prince in your heart, with your temperament, even if it is the holy will, you will never give in."

"Qi Yu, thank you for your understanding!" Shangguan Jiyue got up and bowed deeply to the Night Queen, and said resolutely, "What Niangniang said is right, Qi Yu only has King Chen in his heart, if someone wants to use his power to force me to comply, I would rather die and break the net than compromise by half a point!" ”

"There are few frosty women like you in the world, and it is normal for the prince to have a heart of admiration for you." The Night Queen smiled bitterly and said worriedly: "This palace is just worried that the two brothers will turn against each other because of you and lose their brotherhood. If so, Hongu really doesn't know how to deal with himself. ”

"Niangniang is too worried, Qi Yu will soon leave Beijing and return to the army, and after a long time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally forget about Qi Yu." Shangguan Jiyue said lightly.

"You're leaving Beijing?! When is the thing? The emperor agreed? The Night Queen was obviously surprised, and asked three times in a row.
