Chapter 241: The Emperor's Intent
Everyone's hearts were slightly shocked, and they quietly glanced at Qi Jingxing.
It stands to reason that such a hard work, with no oil and water to fish, or even a task with too much technical content, is impossible to send to a young general like Qi Jingxing, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, obviously the emperor praised him a few days ago, how can he give him such a thankless task today?
What exactly does the emperor mean by this?
Everyone speculated in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
Qi Jingxing took a step forward and knelt respectfully.
"Minister, Commander!"
Because the emperor had a head illness again, so after that, Qi Jingxing stood in the snow in a big coat, looking at the white world, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
At this time, Prime Minister Fu Cheng walked past him and laughed quietly: "Congratulations to the general, you got a good errand again, the road is bitter and cold, and the general must pay attention to safety on the road."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Qi Jingxing bowed his head slightly, and said lightly: "This year's winter came very early, Prime Minister, you stay alone in the huge house, I'm afraid it's very cold, don't remember to add more fire, don't freeze."
Prime Minister Fu Cheng's face changed suddenly, and the smile on his face became a little distorted.
"Don't worry, even if you freeze to death, I won't freeze a single hair!" After saying that, he angrily threw off his sleeves and left.
Qi Jingxing ignored him, but turned his head to look ahead and strode out of the palace gate.
As soon as he left the palace, a reckless young man ran over with his hands in his sleeves and happened to bump into Qi Jingxing's body.
"I'm sorry." The boy glanced up at him, and hurried away again.
Qi Jingxing glanced at his back, walked straight ahead, and not long after, he arrived at the bottom of Shengjing, and then went in with a familiar car, went up to the second floor, and entered a box.
"Here we are."
At the tea table, a person poured himself a drink, waiting for him.
"See His Royal Highness the Prince." Qi Jingxing leaned over slightly and bowed.
"You don't have to be so inhibited outside, just sit down and have a hot cup of tea." The prince raised his head, revealing a handsome and noble face.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Qi Jingxing sat down as he said, picked up the steaming teacup, and took a sip gently.
Only then did the crown prince speak slowly, "Do you know what the purpose of my father sent you to the disaster relief this time?"
"I don't know." Qi Jingxing thought for a while and said, "However, it should be inseparable from Prime Minister Fu and the eldest prince."
"Hmm."
The crown prince nodded, "That's probably the case, but I don't know exactly what they did, but I know that my father seems to be a little ridiculous lately." As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"My father's health is getting worse and worse, to put it mildly, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to survive this winter, and now at this critical time, my imperial brother seems to have his blue eyes again, and now you have been transferred again, I'm afraid it's not a good sign."
Hearing this, Qi Jingxing could only say, "The minister will try to come back as soon as possible."
"It's not just about coming back early, it's about being safe on the way, you know?" The prince gave a meaningful expression.
"In addition, I will take care of the affairs here in the capital, and we will contact us at any time when the time comes, so you are ready to rush back at any time, understand?"
"I understand."
"That's good."
The two said a few words, the prince poured another cup of tea for Qi Jingxing, and the two drank quietly, talking about some trivial matters in the palace, as if they were talking about some common things.
At this moment, the sound below the restaurant suddenly became louder, and even some of the guests on the second floor seemed to get up and go downstairs.
Seeing Qi Jingxing's puzzled face, the prince explained with a smile, "Two days ago, a strange woman came to this Shengjing Building, saying that she was going to compete with Chef Lu, but she took the opportunity to sell her family's iron pot. However, her family's iron pot is really good, and Chef Lu was also happy to get a new pot, so he let the woman go.
No, yesterday the woman sent a new iron pot, which is said to have been specially made for Chef Lu, who has been studying for a day, and is said to have developed a new dish, and is planning to let diners try it for free."
"That's so."
Qi Jingxing couldn't help but smile, "This woman is bold."
Hearing this, the prince also smiled and said, "Not only is she bold, but she is indeed unique, and I heard that the girl was extremely beautiful, but it is hard to forget without powder. It's a pity that the woman didn't come here today, otherwise, Her Highness would have wanted to see her."
Hearing this, Qi Jingxing chuckled in his heart, and his heart suddenly lifted, and he immediately felt relieved.
It's good that this girl listened to him, otherwise she would have gotten it?
After drinking tea for a while, the prince stood up.
"Okay, the matter has been said, don't delay the time, you hurry back and prepare, I heard that the place you are going to is particularly serious in the snowstorm, I'm afraid it's difficult to walk, you must be careful on the road."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
The two went downstairs one after the other, and when they passed the first floor, Qi Jingxing heard everyone's discussions.
"You haven't seen that girl, she looks so beautiful, smart, smart and bold, I have come to Shengjing Tower every day these days, just to see that girl again, but unfortunately, this girl has not come for several days, and she came here yesterday, and she still entered through the back door!"
"It's strange that the iron-striking family can give birth to such a beautiful daughter!"
"This family must be from out of town, I've never heard of such a powerful blacksmith in the capital before."
"Well, but it's not at the right time, it's snowing so hard that there must be no way for this store to open."
Hearing this, Qi Jingxing frowned, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
At this time, Shen Youqiu had just returned to the room, she looked at the small droplets of water on her palm, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of surprise and excitement.
Growing so big, she actually touched the snow for the first time and brought it back to the house.
It's a really good feeling.
"Thank you, Bright Moon." She turned to look at Shen Mingyue and said with a smile, "Is there anything you want to do, and if I can help, you can also tell me, and I can also help you fulfill your wish, but this must be within my ability."
Shen Youqiu looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "I don't have anything I want to do for the time being, just keep this wish first, and I'll talk about it next time."
"Okay."
The two were talking, when suddenly there was a creaking sound at the door.
Looking outside, a tall figure slowly walked in, it turned out to be Qi Jingxing.
"It's early!" Shen Youqiu wanted to go out to greet him, but subconsciously stopped.
