CHAPTER XXVIII
When the night covered the heavens and the earth and everything began to rest, the imperial capital of the Cloud Kingdom gradually fell into the deep darkness.
"Chimang, is he back?" Wu Jinghong put down the pen and blew the pen and ink on the paper, Chimang stood next to the desk, and immediately stepped forward to take it when he saw this.
"Came out of the flower building, walked around the street for a long time, went to the teahouse to eat and listen to the book, came back a quarter of an hour ago, and admired the moon on the top floor of the pavilion at this time." Akatsuki said it word by word very clearly, crisply and neatly.
Wu Jinghong chuckled, his eyes flashed in the light, "The people of Shuo are hidden in the flower building?" ”
"Not bad."
"Well, I'll talk to him and help me bring the kettle of wine and snacks."
"Yes."
There is also a narrow staircase in the pavilion, which leads to the pavilion skylight, and outside the skylight is the top of the pavilion, with layers of tiles without barriers. Wu Jinghong carefully climbed out of the skylight, only moved half a step away and did not dare to move, these tiles have been around for some years, and they have become extremely smooth under the wind and rain, with her clumsy skills, she will fall down if she is not careful.
"Huh?"
As soon as Wu Jinghong sat down, he heard Jiuzun's voice coming from the other side, "Why are you here?" ”
"Prepare for a solo drink under the moon." Wu Jinghong smiled, "I didn't expect you to hide on the roof, I thought you were going to spend the night in the flower building!" What's the matter, the wine in Hualou is to your liking? ”
Under the moonlight, Jiuzun's face was as bright as white jade, and Wu Jinghong found for the first time that Jiuzun also had a face that brought disaster to the country and the people. The moonlight shone down from his side, pulling out a long shadow for him, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
I don't know if it's her illusion, looking at Jiuzun's eyes, it seems to be a little charming.
"This king doesn't look down on those flower wines, but he came out after a turn." Jiuzun blinked, gently stepped on the tiles and walked to Wu Jinghong and sat down, "Since there is wine, let's drink it together!" ”
"That's really embarrassing, there is only one pot of wine in this palace, and it is very expensive." Wu Jinghong gently raised the wine jug in his hand, his bright eyebrows and eyes were crystal clearer than the moonlight, "I don't know what King Shura exchanged for?" ”
Jiuzun raised his eyebrows, "Exchange? What do you want? ”
"It's enough to answer all questions."
"Good!" Jiuzun responded generously, and said, "Then this king also has a question, I don't know what this king's proposal is intended by Her Royal Highness the princess?" ”
Wu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to ask so directly, his eyes met his gaze between them, and he saw the enthusiasm and inevitability at a glance.
"Huh?" Jiuzun chased after him, taking a step closer, Yingting's nose was almost on the tip of Wu Jinghong's nose, Wu Jinghong trembled his eyelashes in a little panic, but he still didn't retreat.
She lifted her eyelids, her eyelashes swept in front of his eyes, revealing a pair of clear and indifferent eyes, obviously having stabilized her mind, "In the current plan of this palace, I only want to help you cure your heart disease." ”
"That's all?" Jiuzun's gaze did not change in the slightest, as if it had been expected and not surprised.
Wu Jinghong hooked his lips and smiled, breathtaking, "That's all." ”
Only then did Jiuzun retreat, and easily carried the wine jug in her hand, raised the wine jug high, raised her head, and the clear wine flowed out so naturally and accurately, all of which entered his mouth.
"Hahahaha! Wine! I don't know how much he drank, he suddenly shook the wine jug and stood up, staggering on the tiles under his feet, "Isn't it beautiful to have wine and beautiful women under the moon!" ”
Wu Jinghong shook her head helplessly, she didn't believe that this Shura King was really drunk, but he made such a appearance, I was afraid that he would not cooperate with her tonight.
Anyway, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, so let him slow down.
Glancing at someone pouring wine on the roof in the moonlight, she carefully moved back to the skylight again and quietly returned to her room.
It was late at night, and there were occasional insect chirps, accompanied by the sound of a man.
The bed curtain shook suddenly, very light, very light, but Wu Jinghong was still awakened, and when she opened her eyes, there was a silver light in the afterglow.
The alarm bell rang in her heart, but her body moved one step ahead of her mind, rolled to the other side of the bed, and threw the weighty needle over by the way.
There was a "dang" sound, and the tip of the knife hit the wooden sleeper, and the wooden sleeper rolled around on the ground with a "gurgling".
Xu didn't expect to wake her up, and the assassin who was supposed to assassinate her quietly had to come face to face with her.
"Who are you?!" She was very frightened in her heart, but her face was calm and calm, and she looked confident.
As expected, the assassin didn't say a word, and directly raised his knife to face him, Wu Jinghong squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, but his figure was not dodging, "Since you are looking for death yourself, then you can't complain about this palace." ”
There was a soft "poof", and Wu Jinghong faintly watched the assassin slowly fall.
"Your Highness!" Wei Ting knelt forward, "It's just one person, there is no ambush outside." ”
"Okay, take him away and take a closer look, maybe there will be some information."
"Yes!"
Exhaling lightly, Wu Jinghong slowly leaned on the edge of the bed and sat down, only then did he realize that his legs were shaking violently.
She can't die, this life is something she didn't get with great difficulty, it's something she got after three years, and it's something she wants to use to do great things!
It's okay, it's okay, you have to get used to it, there will be more and more in the future, and it will become more and more complicated.
She comforted herself silently in her heart, and slowly, sleepiness swept over again.
The next morning, she smelled a faint smell of blood on the tip of her nose and gradually came to her senses. Just three paces away from her bedside, there was still a small pool of blood.
"Your Highness." Outside the door was Chimang's voice, and she responded, "I'm fine, I entered the thief last night and has been disposed of." ”
"It's a subordinate's dereliction of duty!"
"It's none of your business, I'm afraid this thief has been here many times, and he is familiar with the people who have bypassed you." Wu Jinghong rubbed his shoulders and got up, "Come in, didn't you say that someone gave a prayer post yesterday?" ”
"It's the bright moon and winter of Shuo country." Akatsuki pushed the door in, saluted first, and then approached, waiting for Wu Jinghong to wash and change.
The queen of Shuo Guo, Ming Yuexi, is the youngest princess of Chen State, although she is a collection of thousands of favors, but she independently invited Ying to come to Shuo to marry. Just three years after she arrived in Shuoguo, she recognized an unknown little palace maid as her righteous sister and renamed her Ming Yuedong.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Until Ming Yuedong stood in front of her, Wu Jinghong still couldn't understand why Queen Shuo recognized her as her righteous sister.
Such a soft and lovely little girl, a little girl who looks harmless to humans and animals, won't the emperor of Shuo Guo take a fancy to it and enter the harem of Shuo State? Aren't you worried about being a queen at all?
Presumably, Mingyuexi has its own purpose.
"I don't know what to call a girl?" Wu Jinghong had a decent smile and was calm.
"If Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't dislike it, just call Miss Dong'er." Mingyue Dong's delicate little face also smiled, but she was happy, "I heard Brother Zun mention that Her Royal Highness the princess is very smart, not comparable to ordinary women, Dong'er is really curious, so she came to visit on her own initiative, and Her Royal Highness the princess wants to help Dong'er keep it secret!" ”
The look and tone of voice seemed to be coquettish to himself. Wu Jinghong nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Dong'er, this palace will keep it a secret." ”
"Then Dong'er, thank you to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Mingyue Dong was overjoyed and smiled even more happily, "Her Royal Highness the princess is really very understanding, Dong'er likes it very much, no wonder Brother Zun ......"
Seeing that her voice was gradually falling, and her face was a little embarrassed, Wu Jinghong raised her hand to signal Chimang, and changed the subject, "Since Miss Dong'er is here, let's taste the flower tea of this palace." Summer is about to pass, this chrysanthemum tea is still very sweet, and it is also good to get rid of the heat in the body. ”
Mingyue Dong's crooked eyes and curved lips obediently took the tea handed over by Chimang, and took a sip in a proper manner, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess, Dong'er is so happy!" ”
Wu Jinghong raised his eyebrows slightly, quickly calmed down, and smiled dignifiedly, "It's good to be happy." ”
Ming Yuedong met her in less than a quarter of an hour, and she was so skillful in narrowing the distance between the two, no matter what the purpose of her trip was, but this ability to get close to people was very noteworthy.
After chatting like this for half an hour, Mingyuedong politely got up and said goodbye, "Thank you for the hospitality of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Dong'er will retire first." ”
"Please. Chimang, send one to the winter girl. ”
Before leaving, Ming Yuedong stopped at the door, and it was another salute from afar, and Wu Jinghong also responded with a smile.
Chimang came back quickly, his sharp eyes full of hesitation, "Your Highness, although she is the envoy of the Shuo Kingdom, this is too courteous, right?" Besides, there are still more than a month before General Nangong's wedding, what is her intention to visit His Royal Highness at this time? ”
Wu Jinghong smiled faintly, "It's just to meet me and weigh my catties, after all, for them, King Shura is a brutal and terrifying battlefield Shura, and I have a strange poison in my body and I have been with him in the rain country for a few months - just for this, they will also be curious about what kind of person I am." ”
Chimang nodded, and then reported, "The investigation of subordinates and others found that in the past two months, a large number of people from other countries have entered the imperial capital, either openly or secretly, before and after, and carefully speaking, I am afraid that there are people from other seventeen countries. ”
Wu shook his head and whispered, "It's been three years since the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion ended, and everyone has been recuperating in the past three years, so it can be regarded as peaceful. This time, I'm afraid that some people can't hold back and want to recover the losses in the war......"
"Speaking of losses, no one has lost as much as Yunguo!" Chimang's eyes were awe-inspiring, "Your Majesty and Niangniang are not tough people, and your subordinates are worried that Yun Guo will be swallowed up by those wolf-hearted people if they endure it repeatedly!" ”
"Don't worry, with me, no one wants to harm the slightest interest of Yunguo!" Wu Jinghong smiled confidently, propped one hand on the side of his face, and looked straight ahead indifferently, "The guy who dares to fight the idea of Yunguo, I want to make him lose all his money!" ”
No, she wants to create the most comfortable environment for the Yun Kingdom, she wants her father and queen mother to sit back and relax, she wants the people of the Yun Kingdom to stay open at night - she wants the Yun Kingdom to gradually stand above the other seventeen countries!
She will not be soft on all those who stand in her way! Draw salary to stop boiling, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
