Ning Xi's trip to Penglai was a foregone conclusion, and Cheng Guiyi and several other ministers could only sigh and leave.

After Wei Yi received the order, he did not return to the Yulin camp, but guarded around Ning Xi and acted as a personal guard.

When Ning Xi left the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Wei Yi standing outside the hall waiting.

She looked at him not close or far, "Wei Yi, will you protect me?" ”

Wei Yi arched his hand and said: "Even if you fight for this life, you will protect Your Highness." ”

Ning Xi nodded slightly, "In order to better protect this king, you can move to the side hall to rest." ”

The side hall was in the queen's bedchamber, separated by a door, and the layout here was far better than his residence in the Yulin camp.

He was a martial arts practitioner, and his ears were particularly sensitive, and as long as he thought that the woman was next door, he washed in the clean room behind the screen with some restraint.

Although he had lived in the side hall for a while, he still couldn't get used to the delicate furnishings here.

Taking a bath in the tub felt a little unwieldy, unlike when he used to march outside, he could get out of the river in three or two clicks.

When I think of the queen who is delicate everywhere, it must not be easy to get along when we go out together.

His mind flashed with those slightly arrogant eyes and a snow-jade face, and he quickly coughed and waved the image in his mind away.

The bed in the side hall was very soft, and Wei Yi didn't sleep at all when he fell into it.

He is the Queen's bodyguard and needs to be on his toes.

After taking a nap for a while, he heard movement outside the house, Wei Yi suddenly picked up his sword and got up and went out.

Since it is the middle of the month, the bright moon outside is particularly bright.

He saw at a glance the queen walking outside the palace, her long hair unpulled up, but hanging down haphazardly.

Her face flashed in her mind before going to bed, and now that she sees her, even if Wei Yi is calm on the surface, she still has a little waves.

I had to go up and salute.

Ning Xi was not surprised to see Wei Yi, knowing that as long as he went out, he would be alarmed.

But it doesn't stop her from torturing people.

"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, why did I run out?"

Although Wei Yi is a foreigner, he also knows a little bit about the people of Ningguo, and it is not good to tell the truth in front of the queen.

I had to say: "My subordinates have insomnia, so I came out for a walk and disturbed His Highness." ”

Ning Xi's face became more and more white under the moonlight, and she raised her chin slightly, "You can't bother me yet." ”

With that, she went back to the dormitory.

She knew very well that she was just a lifesaver for Wei Yi, and according to his ruthlessness, it was unlikely that she would have any feelings for her in such a short period of time.

I came out tonight just to see him.

……

The queen's departure from Yongzhou is a major event involving the entire Yongzhou.

Ning Xi summoned important courtiers to the Qinzheng Palace for several days to discuss the matter, and made sure that after she left, someone would be able to stabilize the overall situation.

When the two parties were arguing, Cheng Guiyi looked gentle and elegant as usual.

"The ministers know that their abilities are insufficient, and the regent's affairs have to be handed over to other capable ministers."

Ning Xi still didn't know about his performance, and cooperated: "Cheng Qing, don't be presumptuous, after this king leaves, I have to rely on you and other ministers to stabilize the overall situation and protect the people of Yongzhou." ”

"I won't say much else, I will set off in three days, and Qin Qing will personally lead the elite to escort this king to Penglai."

It was originally scheduled to leave three days later, but the envoy sent by the imperial capital to Yongzhou to deliver the holy decree was killed by the assassins that night.

On the night of the incident, Ning Xi rushed to the Sifang Hall where the envoy lived and smelled a strong smell of blood.

She frowned subconsciously.

Qin Wu walked over and said, "The envoy committed suicide by taking poison, presumably the assassin couldn't force him to ask, and the news of the holy decree hasn't been spread yet." ”

Ning Xi nodded, "Did you catch a live mouth?" ”

"Caught one."

At this moment, Cheng Guiyi received the news and hurried over.

His face sank suddenly, "Clean up the inside, you have to set off early." ”

Ning Xi nodded, "Leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The Qinzheng Hall is brightly lit day and night.

Cheng Guiyi seems to be a gentle and noble son, but he is extremely ruthless, and after interrogating the assassin, he beheaded the bribed minister on the spot, and sent people to search everywhere.

When the sky was about to dawn, Cheng Guiyi stood outside the queen's bedroom and straightened out the embarrassed clothes.

He also had blood stains on his body, but he didn't have time to clean it up.

When Ning Xi got up for breakfast, he summoned Cheng Guiyi in.

"Your Highness, the news that you are going to Penglai has not yet spread."

"This time, only a few fine works were arrested, a few ministers were interrogated, a few were killed, and most of them were put in prison to wait for retrial."

Ning Xi frowned, "Cheng Qing, you just stay in Yongzhou to continue the sweep, the movement is bigger, and it is difficult for others to find out that this king has left Yongzhou, after all, someone has entered the palace to assassinate, and you can cancel the early dynasty in the name of protecting the queen." ”

Cheng Guiyi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her fixedly.

At this moment, he couldn't treat her like a straw bale queen.

"Your Highness is out of the house, and I hope to cherish it."

Immediately, he looked at the tall man standing behind Ning Xi.

"Protect the queen and send her back safely."

Wei Yi's gray-blue pupils looked at Cheng Guiyi, and then gave up his hand.

Not long after, several carriages slowly drove out of the capital.

Ning Xi lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the bustling bazaar outside, so much time had passed, she couldn't remember the last time she was in the ancient plane.

Looking at the smell of fireworks and smelling the food on the street is quite novel.

The stall owner selling rock sugar gourds on the street met her curious gaze and immediately called out, his voice was particularly loud, "The rock sugar gourds are two pennies a string, do you want a string of rock sugar gourds?" It's sweet! ”

Ning Xi opened the curtain a little more, and the maid beside him was about to get out of the car to buy, dressed in disguise, and Qin Wu, who was riding a horse with him, hurriedly stopped him.

"No."

The maid had no choice but to bow back and explain, "Miss Dian, the things outside are dirty, you are delicate, you are not used to eating street food, and you may feel unwell if you eat it."

Ning Xi glanced at Qin Wu, who was the general manager, and had no choice but to put down the curtain.

However, the ancient sugar gourd smells particularly fragrant, unlike the modern taste of industrial saccharin.

Originally, she had eaten breakfast before leaving, but the smell of the car on the way still made her greedy.

It was already noon when he was about to leave the city gate, and Qin Wu asked people to enter the restaurant to eat and rest for a while.

Ning Xi sat in the carriage for most of the day, and when he entered the restaurant and smelled the aroma of the food, he was already hungry.

She went up to the second floor with a veil, and Qin Wu took that group of elite guards to disperse to various places in the restaurant to investigate the situation and make sure that it was safe.

Therefore, there are only Wei Yi and the maid by her side.

Ning Xi sat down in the box on the second floor, and she called, "Wei Yi." ”

Wei Yi was originally checking the surroundings when he heard her voice and looked over.

Ning Xi continued to ask, "How long will it take for the meal to be served?" I am hungry. ”

Wei Yi listened to her words and pursed his lips, "The maid has gone to order, it shouldn't be long." ”

He stood behind Ning Xi, and subconsciously put a hand on the placket of his clothes, and the round fruits were raised and wrapped in oiled paper.
