CHAPTER XVII

He Lingjun lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for the teacup opposite, the tea gradually filled the teacup along the wall of the cup, and the heat rose instantly, and the tall black shadow at the door was faintly seen through the heat.

"General Yin came just in time, and the tea was just hot."

Yin Qu withdrew the sword that was still dripping blood back into its scabbard, and naturally smiled

"Since it's a tea that is personally heated for me, I want to enjoy it, but I don't know why the people of Haisheng Kingdom came to mess with me Chihua?"

He Lingjun wore a silver mask and said with a light smile

"Why did General Yin conclude that I am from Haisheng, because of the late fog?"

Yin Qu frowned slightly, it must have been the knife company that revealed Wu Chi, and now the other party actually held Wu Chi as his own handle in his hand, there are also their people in the palace, and Wu Chi is in danger.

He Lingjun watched Yin Qu's changes with interest

"The fog is late, the little girl of Xiji Xuanpu, and now she has entered the palace and is on an errand in the Xiyun Palace."

He Lingjun swallowed slowly, his tone was gentle, but it seemed that he had been around the life of Wu Chi and could be cut off at any time.

"But a grass man, is this the reason you want to stay here?"

Yin Qu sat in front of He Lingjun with a tough tone.

He Lingjun's face was gentle, but he smiled evilly, and raised his hand to signal Yin Qu to drink tea

The corners of Yin Qu's mouth hooked, he raised his hand to pick up the teacup and took a sip close to his thin lips, He Lingjun looked at Yin Qu and smiled

"General Yin, Emperor Yan regards Tianyu as a natural enemy and is extremely dependent on Haisheng Kingdom, even if you arrest me, do you think Emperor Yan will be the enemy of Haisheng for a few bandits?"

Yin Qu's eyes emitted a sharp light, like a sword

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Haisheng Kingdom is as gentle as jade and polite in his speech, but now he looks like a philistine who will only make trouble for robbers."

He Lingjun couldn't help but feel that his eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he immediately took it back, since his identity was discovered so quickly, it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time.

"It's not early, so I'll talk to General Yin here, and I'll see you next time."

He Lingjun got up and walked towards the money outside the tent, and when he opened the curtain lightly, he saw a sword coming over, Su Yi turned his head to look at Yin Qu's back in the tent with murderous intent, just waiting for an order

Unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was just a calm voice from the person in the tent

"Let him go."

Su Yi's face was full of incredulity and smiled at He Lingjun's face, a white horse in the distance was running towards the moonlight, Su Yi could only watch He Lingjun ride a white horse and disappear into the night, but he did nothing

Su Yi was extremely puzzled and looked at Yin Qu who was walking slowly, and his brows were about to twist together

"I can't move him yet."

Now he can't move him, when He Lingjun's words woke up Yin Qu, Emperor Yan's obsession with Tianyu is too deep, and his dependence on Haisheng is too heavy, since the Battle of the Styx before Haisheng is just attached to Chihua Tianyu The two big countries survived, Chihua Tianyu didn't know why he started a war because of old grievances, both were defeated, and the money and the people were hurt, although Haisheng did not take advantage of the situation to occupy the land, but also took advantage of the fisherman's profits, not only got two pieces of land, but also mastered the important business exchanges between the two countries. The Battle of the Styx and Haisheng are inseparable, and now that the two countries are getting stronger, they want to repeat their old tricks.

As long as he Yin Qu is there, Haisheng doesn't want to move Chihua, Tianyu is still foggy.

Wu Chi was woken up early in the morning, stood in the yard and waited for the assignment, and waited for a long time to wait for his errand - to do chores.

This is not what I want, not close to Concubine Yun's own ability to detect hairpins.

After dispersing, Wu Chi hurriedly followed behind Qianhui and asked again and again

"How can I go to the main hall on an errand and serve Concubine Yun."

Qian Shu turned his head and frowned, and said strangely

"You're not afraid?"

"Don't be afraid"

Wu Chi was categorical, Qianhui sighed, and said helplessly

"Wait until you are familiar with the affairs of the palace first."

Seven days passed from this familiarity.

Wu Chi was so angry that he put firewood into the stove, and the firewood became more and more vigorous, just like the fire in Wu Chi's heart was about to burn all over his body.

Qian Shu stirred the soup in the pot with a long spoon, and spit out a few words with a blank face

"If the fire is a little bigger, the soup will be boiled dry."

Wu Chi stopped adding firewood, and reluctantly used the fire tongs to pull out a few of the burning firewood inside, smashed the fire on the ground to extinguish the fire, and then leaned against the wall next to it.

"I'll go to the storeroom to get some dried vegetables and simmer them slowly."

The thousand blinds dropped these words and left the fog in the noisy kitchen.

A familiar sound passed through the kitchen and reached the ears of Wu Chi, it was the long-lost falling ice crisp, the direction of the back door.

It was time to prepare dinner, the room was busy, Wu Chi looked around, aimed at the direction of the door and rushed out, trotted all the way to the back door, poked his head out carefully, his eyes were full of black and blue, and there was a silver token hanging next to it, with exquisite patterns around a big character "Yin", Wu Chi took a while to react, and then stood up to salute Yin Qu

"Foggy Chi congratulates the general on triumphant."

Yin Qu smiled and took out the ice cake from behind him, looking up and down at Wu Chi

"The emperor just summoned me today."

Wu Chi took the ice cake and saluted Yin Qu with a smile

The gray stain on Wu Chi's right cheek attracted Yin Qu's attention, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at it, and from the angle of the thousand curtains, Yin Qu was touching Wu Chi's face.

Qianshu's face finally had an expression, his face was full of vigilance, and he pulled through the fog hard to get behind him. The pitch is high, and the voice is much louder than usual

"The general is a man of marriage! Wu Chi is just a little palace maid."

With a heavy blow, Yin Quleng froze in place, he was usually fierce and was speechless by a palace maid, he was a person who was married, how could he get involved in the fog.

Wu Chi looked at the suffocating atmosphere and immediately explained

"Aunt Qian, you misunderstood, General Yin and I are not like that."

Qianshu calmed down his emotions, made a very distracted salute to Yin Qu, and then pulled the fog and went in. Wu Chi turned his head to look at Yin Qu who was staying in place as he walked, and there was some emotion in his eyes that Wu Chi couldn't read.

Qianhui pulled Wu Chi to the back of the room, and the bright yellow candlelight in the room made the darkness in the woods shine some light, and Wu Chi saw an unusual expression on Qian Shu's face. This usually expressionless Aunt Qian is scared at the moment.

Qianshu breathed heavily, but he was still suppressing his voice, afraid of being heard by someone who cares

"You can't see the danger clearly."

"Aunt Qian, you really misunderstood, General Yin and I are innocent"

"General Yin's eyes are not innocent when he looks at you."

Qianyan's emotions became more and more excited, his originally pale face was flushed with anger, Wuchi was a little frightened by this person who usually didn't smile, and Mu Ran remembered the rumors of Qianliang

"Aunt Qian is so scared, is the rumor true?"

Qianshu's eyes widened, her hands couldn't help but tremble, and an untouchable face suddenly appeared in her head, untouchable.

After the thousand curtains entered the cloud palace, they were appreciated by Yun Fei Niangniang because of their exquisite cooking skills, they were able to do things, and they did not leak, Yun Fei Niangniang was a strong assistant, reluctant to beat and reluctant to scold, but that time they beat the thousand curtains to almost cripple, and lay down for several months to get better, and also fell to the root of the disease, and there will be dull pain in the legs at night, which is the reason for the shallow sleep of the thousand curtains. That time was the love between Qianlian and the five princes was discovered, Concubine Yun fortunately had a good relationship with the queen, so she hid it from the emperor and saved Qiancurtain, and Concubine Yun was furious and threatened to break Qiancurtain's leg so that she could never see the five princes again. When many of the thousand curtains are not there, this is a topic that the palace ladies often discuss.

Qianshu's eyes flashed with tears, his breathing gradually stabilized, and a tear also flowed down his cheeks, Wuchi felt that Qianshu's thin body was about to fall at any time, and immediately helped Qianshu to the stone chair next to him and sat down, regretting that he had said the wrong thing.

"The rumors are true, you are right, I am just afraid." Qianshu looked at Wu Chi with sorrowful eyes and continued: "I'm afraid of the disparity in identity, I can only look up to him, I'm afraid that I have to face those terrible people independently, I'm afraid that he can't be by my side when my legs hurt the most at night, I'm afraid that even if I stay in this deep palace for the rest of my life, I won't be able to see him." ”

Qianqi's voice gradually trembled, Wu Chi felt uncomfortable, and cried together, if he hadn't met the five princes, Qian Ling should also be a high-spirited palace maid, Wu Chi should have known that he should be a little farther away from these high-ranking people, one is Liu Ruwei and the other is Qianshu, Wu Chi felt uncomfortable and contradictory, and the reason why it was unreachable was because it broke at one touch.

Wu Chi sat on a chair in the courtyard of the Huanyi Bureau, bursts of incense came from the house, and after the incident a few days ago, he had never seen Yin Qu again.

"Miss Wuchi" is a very familiar voice, Wuchi raised his head, it turned out to be Songlin

"Why is Shogun here?" Wu Chi wondered

"The general was summoned to accompany His Majesty and the queen to dine with Lord Ming, and a palace man who was not long-eyed accidentally splashed the general's cloak dirty, no, Lord Ming ordered me to bring it to the Huanyi Bureau."

Wu Chi slowly lowered his head, feeling a little sour in his heart for some reason, but he still forced a smile

"That's right."

Before the words fell, Ying Xue came out with a set of embroidered brocade skirts, her steps were a little hectic, and she stuffed the brocade skirt to Wu Chi and said that she was not feeling well and hurriedly left.

Wu Chi felt strange, and he didn't delay too long, and said goodbye to Songlin and returned to the Cloud Palace.

Before the fire started to burn, I heard a person rushing into the room, looking around, and finally locked on to the fog

The tone was flustered, "You are in a big trouble after the fog, Concubine Yun is looking for you!" ”

Wu Chi thought about seeing Concubine Yun, but he didn't expect it to be in this form. followed the brisk walk through the backyard, and saw the thousand blinds walking this way on the backyard road, and his tone was a little anxious

"Are you going to send Concubine Yun's embroidered brocade skirt to the Huanyi Bureau today?"

"yes." Wu Chi was also very uneasy, and his tone was empty

"The hem of the embroidered brocade skirt is cracked, but you got it?"

"It's definitely me" Wu Chi remembered Ying Xue's wrong appearance, and instantly understood something

"It was written on the shift that you and Ying Xue were going to deliver it, but Ying Xue claimed that she didn't go today because she was unwell, you were the only one, and the Internal Affairs Office of the Huanyi Bureau had already punished her."

Wu Chi clenched his fists and smoked angrily, "Yingxue is lying"

"Remember not to anger Concubine Yun again."

Wu Chi bowed his head, and when he looked up again, he was already kneeling in the main hall, Ying Xue knelt beside him tremblingly, Wu Chi glanced at Ying Xue and signaled Ying Xue to tell the truth.

Yun Zhiyan sat on the main seat, leaning on the seat, his slender fingers crossed the cracks in the brocade skirt, very distressed, his willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and the tail note was very long

"Who the hell are you two?"

Ying Xue trembled violently when she heard Yun Zhiyan's voice, and she could hear it from the voice

"It's foggy, I'm not feeling well, and I'm off today, and she's the only one who goes to the Huanyi Bureau."

Wuchi frowned and straightened his back

"Ying Xue is clearly going to the Huanyi Bureau with me today."

Yun Zhiyan paused, feeling that there was something familiar between Wu Chi's eyebrows, and the thought was fleeting

"Can anyone prove it?"

Yun Zhiyan smiled beautifully, and his words were full of danger

Wu Chi shook his head suddenly, Song Lin can prove it, but he can't find him, his master may be waiting to have dinner with his fiancée now, how can he be distracted from the life or death of my little palace maid, Aunt Qian is right, she always has to face it alone.

"No one can prove it."

"Then go and get the punishment, how many sticks do you think my brocade skirt is worth?"

Yun Zhiyan touched the brocade skirt and looked at Wu Chi again, and then said, "How about fifty?" “

Yun Zhiyan propped himself on the table with his hand, and motioned to the eunuch next to him with his other hand, looking at Wu Chi with interest

Wu Chi was dragged to the front yard, this place Wu Chi has seen, the palace maid was beaten to death in this position when he first came, and today it is his turn.

Wu Chi looked at the two eunuchs with sticks and felt furious, I was afraid that my buttocks were going to bloom today, Wu Chi secretly swore in his heart that if he was injured, he would pull out all Ying Xue's hair.

Wu Chi lay on the bench, covered his eyes with his hands and couldn't bear to see the appearance of the stick falling down, and he could bear it until the second, third, fourth, and fifth times, and Wu Chi felt that the long stick seemed to have grown nails, and the pain was unbearable, and gradually spread, and his body was about to be scattered, Wu Chi cried in pain but didn't scream, but he was aggrieved and endured, and he couldn't beg for mercy if he was right.

Wu Chi counted in his heart, the twenty-third did not fall, what is the matter, Wu Chi sniffed, endured the pain and turned his head with blurry tears in his eyes, and a black figure was rippling in the tears. Wu Chi suddenly felt the pain rush to his brain and fainted.
