Chapter 775: Small Actions
The night is deep, the candlelight is flickering, and the imperial study is always brightly lit, and it is long until dawn. This made Jin Fu, who was waiting on the side, feel distressed, the emperor was so busy day and night, and his iron body couldn't stand it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but complain about Miss Chu in my heart, how could she be so ruthless to the emperor?..
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should go and rest, and you'll put on these twists and turns tomorrow, right?" Jin Gonggong didn't know how many times he reminded him, this time it was still the same as the previous times, the emperor just gave a faint sigh of gratitude, but he didn't mean to leave. Father-in-law Jin was helpless, holding the dust and sighing.
It wasn't until a black shadow fell that the emperor's concentration was interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I found out that Prince Beichuan and Zhao Guogong seem to be very close recently, and I don't know what they are discussing."
Jing Yuan put down the wolf brush in his hand, his deep eyes darkened, and he snorted coldly, "This Murong Jinfeng is pervasive, I know that he is not good." Sure enough, it was Sima Zhao's heart, and now he couldn't hold his breath, thinking that he was in a hurry to find Chu Xia, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him, and he dared to make small moves behind his back.
"Your Majesty, do we want to do anything?" Yunfei respectfully waited for instructions.
"I have my own plans for this matter, you don't have to interfere. Just concentrate on finding the Queen's whereabouts." For him, nothing was more important than looking for Chu Xia, and if he couldn't find her for a day, he wouldn't be able to sleep for a day. With the power of Jun Yan and the Secret Guard, let alone a person, even a bird has already been found. It seems that she is deliberately avoiding him, and he has personally learned her hidden skills, otherwise he would have not known that she had been caught hundreds of times when she fled in those years.
"Yes!" Yun Fei took the order and left, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, there have been some Hu merchants in the capital recently, which is very weird."
The phoenix's eyes sank slightly, it would not be unusual if it was a Hu merchant, because the foreign merchants in the capital had always been in an endless stream, and the door of their Donghua Kingdom was also happy to open for them. But if Yunfei says it is strange, it must be strange.
Yun Fei truthfully reported to Jing Yuan what he had inquired about from the street, and then stood aside quietly and listened to his master's orders.
The Son of Heaven stepped down from the dragon chair, the golden coiled dragon boots stepped down the steps step by step, and the bright yellow dragon robe set off his nobility and majesty; The handsome face was a solemn color, and the eyes were dark. Suddenly, he stopped, the depth of his eyes turned into a pool, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
"This matter is secretly investigated, don't startle the snake." A moment later, Jing Yuan gave the order.
「…… Yes." Yun Fei didn't expect that the emperor would really be interested in these Hu people, "What about finding Miss Chu?"
"You can put that matter down first, mainly to keep an eye on those Hu people with me, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."
Although Yunfei was puzzled, he could only do it, he believed that the emperor must have his reasons.
After Yun Fei went out, Jing Yuan instructed Jin Fu to prepare to bathe and go to bed.
The emperor's sudden decision also made Jin Fu very puzzled, originally he persuaded more than a dozen times to no avail, why did the emperor suddenly think about it. But no matter why, it's always good to think about it.
What they didn't know was that the reason why Jing Yuan wanted to open it was because he felt that these Hu people must have something to do with Chu Xia. If they were just ordinary businessmen, they wouldn't meddle in this matter. What's more, their purpose was obviously to frame Murong Jinfeng and provoke the relationship between him and Zhao Qifeng.
If it was really Chu Xia who did it, of course he was happy. Originally, she was worried that she was still thinking about that person in her heart, but now it seems that Chu Xia is still very wise and will not blindly like it.
Now that he has news of her, of course he is happy. Although he wanted to go to her immediately, he still calmed himself down so that he would not collapse. He is now like a tiger, obediently waiting for the little white rabbit to come to the door.
Lying comfortably in the bath, gently closing his eyes, and letting the warm water wash his whole body, after so many days of tension, he can finally relax a little at this moment.
Chu Xia, you abrasive little goblin, get ready to take my moves.
Suddenly opened his eyes, and his deep eyes reflected a touch of yin owl. Murong Jinfeng, it's time for us to settle the score.
On this day, in the Huanyi Palace, singing and dancing are leveling,
Wine and food are fragrant. Jing Yuan leaned on the soft couch, holding a pot of fine wine, half-drooping his eyes, and seemed to be very comfortable. watched the dancing girl swaying in front of her, swaying with the music. There was a faint smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an evil arc.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you asked Jinfeng to do?" Murong Jinfeng, who was sitting at the bottom, finally couldn't hold his breath, because he really couldn't understand what Jing Yuan was thinking? He was invited here, but he didn't say a word, just drank and watched singing and dancing. This is not his usual way of doing things.
Jing Yuan raised his head slightly, glanced at Murong Jinfeng lazily, and said with a faint smile: "I invited the prince to enjoy the song and dance, doesn't the prince want to?" Or do you think that these songs and dances of mine can't get into the eyes of the prince?" The words were said with a smile, but they didn't sound so kind.
Murong Jinfeng paused, and hurriedly smiled, "Where, where." The emperor invited the palace to enjoy the song and dance, and the palace was moved, how dare there be a complaint. It's just that...... I heard that the future queen mother is unwell, and the emperor loves the beauty so much, so she should accompany her, so that the mother can recover as soon as possible and complete the post-sealing ceremony. So how can the emperor still have time to accompany the palace here, which makes the palace simply flattered."
When Jing Yuan heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he waved his hand at those dancing girls, and ordered impatiently: "Get out, go out, get out of here, none of them let me look pleasing to the eye."
When everyone heard this, their faces were like vegetables, and they hurriedly retreated from Huanyi Palace after kneeling, for fear that the emperor would be in a bad mood and put them on the spot. In the hall where there was still a light song and dance just now, except for Prince Beichuan at this moment, only Jin Fu was left waiting carefully.
When everyone was gone, Jing Yuan picked up the wine jug, raised his head and poured another sip. The good-looking phoenix eyes have a little more grievance, a hint of resentment. You spoke: "Murong Jinfeng, you are a smart person, I know that I can't hide it from you, so I'm not afraid of being embarrassed in front of you.
We met ten years ago, and you saved my life at that time, so you should be my savior. If we weren't in power for two countries, would we be friends?"
Murong Jinfeng has always maintained the posture of holding the jade cup in his hand, because he really can't guess what kind of calculation this young emperor has in his heart. After listening to his words, I could only echo, "Actually, I also thought that if we weren't in an opposing situation, maybe we could really be friends. The first time I saw you ten years ago, I decided that you might be my worst adversary in the future, but I saved you, do you know why?"
Jing Yuanying raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at each other quietly, and suddenly smiled after a while, and said, "Because heroes are lonely, in the same way, heroes are also afraid of loneliness." As he spoke, he picked up a jar of tribute wine and threw it gently.
The wine jar spun around a few times in the air, and fell lightly into Murong Jinfeng's hand. All this seems so casual and wonderful, only those who really understand martial arts know that it requires not only skills, but also internal strength.
The two met and smiled, Murong Jinfeng took the wine jar very happily, poured a few sips at the jar. Wanton, free and easy, without a trace of slackness.
It is true that heroes are lonely, and they are all afraid of loneliness. What a boring thing it would be if there were no opponents in this world. And a person who can be called an opponent is not easy to get.
"Prince, good drinking, I appreciate you." Jing Yuan gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
Murong Jinfeng put down the wine jar and wiped the corners of his mouth, "The emperor has won the award, you respect Jinfeng, how dare Jinfeng not drink it." "It is said that sages are lonely, and I think I can't be a sage, but I still can't escape loneliness." Jing Yuan also picked up a wine jar and drank it with his head up. This posture is not like the leaders of the two countries, but more like the heroes of the green forest.
"The emperor's harem is three thousand, how can he be lonely?" Murong Jinfeng smiled.
The young Son of Heaven looked stunned, and his phoenix eyes showed loss, "Three thousand people in the water, I just want to take a scoop to drink." However, the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, I regard her as the treasure in the palm, but she regards me as a flood beast, hehe......" smiled bitterly, only to relieve her sorrows with wine.
Murong Jinfeng's brilliant starry eyes flashed, and he looked at Jing Yuan and asked solemnly, "So, is it true that the future queen escaped marriage?"
Speaking of this, Jing Yuan's mood was extremely low, and his eyes were full of worry
wounded, no longer see the domineering and majesty of the king.
"You say, what's wrong with me, why doesn't she want to be with me? Ten years ago, and still today? Murong Jinfeng, do you know? I'm a little jealous of you. Because ten years ago you could have been in her favor, I'm sure if it weren't for the fact that I was her responsibility, she would have gone with you. At that time, I thought that I was young and immature enough, so it was understandable to lose to you.
It's just that now, I'm also an adult man, and even have supreme power, why can't I get her heart, am I really inferior to you?" He looked at the man opposite with a sad look, and there was endless pain hidden in his eyes.
The pain was real, no matter why she was leaving, but she did hurt him and stabbed him in the heart. Whenever he thought of her, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart. He really wanted to catch her and ask her personally why he did this to him, even if he was sentenced to death, at least let him know how he died.
When Murong Jinfeng heard this, his heart moved. Thinking back to ten years ago, Chu Xia did have a good impression of herself, when he asked her to go with her, but she refused, now that she thinks about it, maybe it was really for responsibility, could she like a ten-year-old child?
