Although the words are so, after entering the palace, Qing Jingyao still failed to join hands with Chu Zhaonan. After entering the palace, after a period of greetings, Qing Ruifan sent Qing Jingyao to the imperial garden, and the good name was to hide the altar wine for her, and let her dig up the three of them to drink.

Qing Jingyao is not a bite, she saw that Qing Ruifan's complexion was getting better and better, so she didn't think much about him, pouted and went out with Shihua. There are some things that Qing Ruifan doesn't want her to know, but she will always know it, and she is not in a hurry to debunk it in public.

"Shihua, do you see that this courtyard is getting deserted day by day? I can't even hear a sound from this palace. "Although Qing Jingyao rarely stays in the palace, this huge imperial garden, not to mention the human figure now, not even a single finch has heard a sound, but it is cold and miserable.

"Back to the princess, the winter is cold, and the cold ice is dry. It's not even the sound of the weather, there will be a day. Shihua looked at the thick pile of snow on the low bushes, and then looked at Qing Jingyao, who was breezy and cloudy, and responded softly.

"This is also true, this weather should warm wine and cook green plums, and brocade Qiu embraces the golden furnace. Push the cup and change the lamp, light porcelain luan, why do you need any other sound. Qing Jingyao glanced at the direction of Chunlan Hall and Chenlai Palace as if unintentionally, and her voice was as light as a whisper.

Yongyuan Palace.

"What does the emperor command?" Chu Zhaonan didn't want to see Qing Ruifan now, as soon as he saw his face, he would subconsciously think of Gu Lingge, he had cherished the people for so many years, and he was made life and death unclear by the emperor in front of him, and he was directly grounded even if he wanted to ask the reason. It turns out that all the power that makes people intoxicated is actually like this.

"Chu Qing doesn't have to be so aggressive, if I really want to, how can you stand in front of me safe and sound?" Qing Ruifan was a little tired. He leaned on the soft couch, his left hand bent his elbow to support his head, and a maid gently pressed his temples for him, and there was a faint smell of fat powder floating in the air, which was not very strong, but it was enough to make Chu Zhaonan dislike.

"Weichen is stupid, please ask the emperor to show me." Chu Zhaonan has been in the officialdom for so long, and he is quite modest in what he says in the official language. It used to be a sign of loyalty, but now it really feels ironic how to look at it.

This high emperor, this young emperor who is rich all over the world, and all the people come to congratulate him, what is it now? It's disgusting to watch.

"I know that you still have a grudge in your heart, and I owe it to me that you will be grounded as soon as you come back." Chu Zhaonan's resentment was not shown on his face, but the more he was like this, the more he felt emotional. It doesn't hurt if there is one less person who can hide nothing in front of you, that's the truth after all.

"I summoned you today, first, to ask Chu Qing how much he knows about the Thousand Machines Pavilion." Qing Ruifan didn't finish speaking, and he had slowly become accustomed to twisting and turning with people. When he was in the court, he faced those old ministers, and he didn't finish his words to leave room for them, and he also lured them to express their opinions. But now, he himself likes this more and more, and sometimes when he looks at the person in front of him who is so anxious that he doesn't dare to say a word in a cold sweat in front of him, he actually feels that this should be the case in his heart.

Sure enough, everything was out of control.

"If you go back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know much, he only knows that he is a person who listens to the news." Chu Zhaonan couldn't tell what Qing Ruifan meant, so he replied ambiguously. Speaking of which, he hasn't been in contact with An Yan for a long time, and he himself is like a canary, trapped in a cage, and it is difficult to even protect himself, where does he have the energy to listen to other news.

"Then Chu Qing thinks that Qianji Pavilion is credible or Liulizhuang is credible?" Qing Ruifan has always been steady and ruthless when he stepped on people's sore spots.

"Forgive the minister is stupid, if the memory of the minister is correct, Liulizhuang has already been burned to the ashes, how can it be compared?" Chu Zhaonan's identity has not been pierced until now. He believed that Qing Ruifan must know, but since neither of them said it, there was no need for him to rush up against the wind.

"Chu Qing has always been in touch with me, so he naturally understands what I mean. Or is it that you haven't cultivated enough in the past few days, and your body hasn't recovered yet? Qing Ruifan silently touched the Buddha beads in his hand, and his expression was pleasant. Until now, he has not investigated who set the fire. Maybe it was burned clean, and Gu Lingge returned to Beijing and found that he had nowhere to go, so it was not necessary to return to the palace. In a way, he was satisfied with the fire.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the ministers are afraid." Although Chu Zhaonan said that he was afraid, there was no fear on his face, let alone fear, and he didn't even bend his waist.

"How long are you going to be so weird? The life in the Emperor's Mansion is too rich, and Yao'er spoils you too much, so that you have forgotten who the monarch is? Qing Ruifan's tone was as usual, but it was familiar to Chu Zhaonan's ears. He thought about it for a while, only to realize that this sentence was too similar to Gu Lingge, both in terms of tone and tone.

I'm afraid that even Qing Ruifan himself didn't find out.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth finally had a little smile, and he looked at Qing Ruifan's eyes with something else: "In the minister's humble opinion, Qianji Pavilion is better, after all, Liulizhuang is not specialized." Each has its own merits, and if there are weaknesses, you must admit it, and Chu Zhaonan is also clear about this.

"Chu Qing is really the most heartfelt." Although Qing Ruifan was not very accustomed to the smile on his face, he still got what he wanted to hear. "Then if I say that I want Chu Qing to be in charge of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, what is it?"

Chu Zhaonan's eyes widened when he landed, and he looked at Qing Ruifan with a look of disbelief. Gu Lingge had also had such thoughts before, but after observing An Yan, who had just ascended to the throne, for half a month, she consciously dispelled this idea. Up to now, An Yan has been sitting in that position for almost three years.

"What does the emperor mean?" Recently, he hasn't heard any relevant news, An Yan is delivering news to him every four days as usual, and the heavy rain and snow have not stopped, so it is not An Yan's problem. So, where would it be? Qing Ruifan shouldn't come to cheat him.

"Earlier today, the Qianji Pavilion sent news that the pavilion master drowned, leaving a suicide note to ask for Zhao'an." Qing Ruifan felt strange when he received the news in the morning, so he didn't look for someone else, and found Chu Zhaonan. An Yan is a person, a cunning rabbit with three holes, and a delicate seven tricks.

"Zhao'an?" The first thing Chu Zhaonan noticed was the words of Qianji Pavilion. An Yan has never looked down on Qianji Pavilion, so naturally he will not say that he is a bandit, and he will not say "Zhao'an", that is, there must be something wrong.

"I felt strange, so I wanted Chu Qing to go and investigate one or two, if there is any difference, just execute it on the spot." Qing Ruifan smiled, although it looked like he was delegating power, but in fact, he wished that Chu Zhaonan would fold in the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

After Gu Lingge left, he became even more suspicious. Of course, he thought about cleaning up the remaining remnants of Liulizhuang, but they all inherited Gu Lingge's style, and there was no mistake in speaking and doing things. It's just that they have set up a good trick, and they have never taken the initiative to drill, and they can still crack it. This made him feel very anxious, feeling like he had caught a hedgehog and had no way to start.

But fortunately, they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, nor did they make any irreparable things on the surface, so it's just for the time being.

"What if there is no difference?" Chu Zhaonan's reaction was still fast, and he figured out the joints in a moment, and began to apply Qing Ruifan's words little by little, "Weichen is bold, I feel that they are not credible." ”

"Qianji Pavilion is in the intelligence business, and there are countless pickled secrets inside. Wechen had heard that the place had been divided into two factions since its establishment, and the two factions did not deal with each other, and there was constant struggle all year round. Chu Zhaonan was also curious at the beginning, what did An Yan do to make two iron-blooded men who used knives and guns for him and live together in harmony, but now is not a good time to say this, "Besides, An Yan, who sat in a high position at a young age, how could he simply drown?" If the imperial court rashly accepts it, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

"According to that, Chu Qing is reluctant to go?" Qing Ruifan waved his big hand, the maid pushed it away, he stood up, looked directly at Chu Zhaonan, and the coercion in his eyes poured out, making Chu Zhaonan trance-like for a while, and his leg was unstable, and he almost knelt down. Bent over, he didn't say good or bad.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is willing to go." Chu Zhaonan knew that he was no longer willing, and when Qing Ruifan gave an order, he still had to go. I just happened to go to see what was going on with An Yan.

"Chu Qing is really a pillar of this dynasty, and he is not in vain to cultivate." Qing Ruifan smiled faintly, and there was a crackling sound in the five-fingered dragon claw wrapped in the cloud pattern purple gold and red charcoal furnace, and Chu Zhaonan felt that it was getting colder and colder in this hall.

Chunlan Palace.

Yang Li'er looked at Qing Jingyao, who was sitting in front of her, gentle and quiet, her previous flying and unbridled had been much more restrained, and she had the suppleness of a mature woman. Looking at her flat abdomen again, although she has not yet shown her pregnancy, the thought of a child in it makes her feel uncomfortable.

"Concubine Wan has been looking at Princess Ben's belly, but what do you have to say?" Qing Jingyao always remembered what Chu Zhaonan told her when she entered the palace, even if she had a dry mouth now, she didn't drink a sip of tea.

She also joked at the time that no one would dare to poison herself as a princess of her country, otherwise she would have to wipe out the Nine Clans. Chu Zhaonan glanced at her, and the hand holding her symbolically tightened, "I'm afraid that you will have a cold stomach and feel uncomfortable when you go back." Naturally, he is not afraid of poisoning, and he believes that no one has the courage to do so.

"This palace is just thinking that Yaoyao will have companionship in the future, which is a great good thing." Yang Li'er felt a little stiff on her face. Why didn't she want to have an heir of her own? If you can have incense, why is it difficult to gamble your life? But I won't have it, and it doesn't make sense to say this now.

"That's really the auspicious words of Concubine Wan." Qing Jingyao didn't like Yang Li'er's gaze, the envy in those eyes was just the surface, the poisonous snake lurked under her smooth and delicate skin, leaving extremely toxic saliva, and when she caught the opportunity, she pulled people into a corner and swallowed them so much that there were no bones left.

"If it's okay, this princess will return to Yongyuan Palace." Qing Jingyao stood up and left, without a trace of expression on her face. It was Yang Li'er who suddenly stopped her and said that she wanted a cup of tea, and she didn't get straight to the point when she came, so she naturally didn't have the need to stay.

Yang Li'er didn't keep it, and let people go generously, but the light in her eyes became more and more dazzling. "Lianyue, you go and see what Concubine Chen is doing, if there is nothing to do, please ask her to talk about the imperial garden, this weather is very cold, it is better to have someone to accompany than to stay in the palace like an ice cellar."
