Chapter 020: Return to the capital

More than a month has passed, and the time agreed with Mu Qingjue is getting closer and closer, the matter in Yancheng has finally come to an end, Su Baohua is dead, the underground weapons factory has been handed over to Ning Chen to deal with, and Qingchen has no need to stay here, so when Mu Qingjue's holy decree of 800 miles was sent urgently, Qingchen and Tianquan set off on the road back to Beijing.

Shi Wuxian reported everything that happened in Yancheng to Mu Qingjue, and Mu Qingjue had already prepared, and when he received Shi Wuji's recital, he quickly sent the holy decree to Yancheng, saying that Su Baohua's death was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the people were not allowed to talk about it;

Ning Chen was left in Yancheng by Qingchen to deal with the affairs of the weapons factory, and she only took tomorrow and night with her, leaving Yancheng and heading to the capital.

"Childe, Su Baohua is dead, and the emperor has already received the news, so Childe doesn't have to be in such a hurry. Tianquan looked at Qingchen, who was hurrying away as when he came, and spoke.

"I'm in a hurry to go back, not for the sake of the royal brother, but for the two people in the palace, I haven't shown up in two months, and they don't know how worried they should be. Qingchen shook his head slightly, smiling, but still raised his whip and galloped his horse.

The wind in his ears was blowing, the horse's hooves were raising all the way to the wind and sand, Qingchen couldn't help but squint his eyes, but he remembered the worried faces of Huai Jin and Zhan Yu in his mind. Ever since Huai Jin and Zhan Yu saw her almost die in the fire of Fengzao Palace, their fear of her has never diminished.

Because they know that no matter how powerful and perfect Mu Qingchen is, she is also a person, her ability is limited, and she can't resist the calculations of people with a heart with the strength of one person, and her life hanging by a thread several times is the best proof.

Tomorrow and Night followed in the dark, and with Qingchen running all the way, he finally returned to the capital of the Heavenly Star Kingdom within the two-month period.

Qingchen held the token given by Mu Qingjue in his hand, and together with Tianquan, he entered the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom unimpeded, and without the slightest hesitation, he went straight to the imperial study.

At this time, Mu Qingjue was sitting in the imperial study, looking at the folds sent from all directions, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, until the chief eunuch outside the door came to report, saying that Mu Ye Gongzi and Tianquan were back, Mu Qingjue raised his head from the pile of folds and looked at the two figures who walked in from outside the door of the imperial study.

"Brother Huang, the jade hook is fortunate not to be dishonored. Qingchen walked in, took out a letter from his sleeve, put it on Mu Qingjue's desk, took off the silver mask on his face, and said with a smile.

"What is this?" Mu Qingjue picked up the letter with doubts on his face.

"Brother Huang will open it and take a look. Qingchen deliberately sold Guan Zi and motioned for Mu Qingjue to open the letter.

Mu Qingjue glanced at Qingchen, opened the letter in his hand, took out the paper inside, unfolded it, and immediately widened his eyes in surprise, looking at Mu Qingchen: "This ......"

"A more detailed topographic map of the area around Yancheng. Qingchen nodded and said, "I can get this topographic map, thanks to Tianquan's ability to look around and tell me everything he sees, so I can draw it." In the past, the scouts of the imperial brother reached as far as Jiang Yan Mountain, but they didn't know what the situation was further north of Yancheng, but now with this topographic map, the imperial brother in the coming day can have an advantage in the battle with Mobei. ”

"Qingchen, the imperial brother never thought that you would consider these for the imperial brother. Mu Qingjue looked at Qingchen and suddenly sighed.

"My father, Emperor Wen Taowuluo, is a hero in the world, and once let Ning Yue lose at the hands of Tianxing. My father originally had the opportunity to unify the Central Plains, but when he was old, he felt that the killing was too heavy, and he paid attention to the way of 'harmony', and no longer fought everywhere, which gave Ningyue Kingdom a chance to recuperate, and only then did he have the current situation. Qingchen said slowly, "Brother Huang adheres to his father's ancestors, with the goal of unifying the Central Plains, Qingchen is the daughter of his father and the sister of Brother Huang, how can he stand by and watch?"

"Although the imperial brother still has doubts in his heart, the imperial brother believes in your ability, say, what do you want?" Mu Qingjue heard this, and finally stopped evading, and asked directly.

If it was just luck that Mu Qingchen escaped from the layers of guards in Qingyi Yuan and successfully arrived at the imperial study without alarming any of the guards, then now a trip back and forth to Yancheng as scheduled not only successfully solved Su Baohua, but also brought back a more detailed topographic map of Yancheng, which made Mu Qingjue completely believe in Mu Qingchen's ability.

With the words of the imperial brother, Qingchen was relieved. Hearing this, Qingchen spoke, "Now that Feiyan Pass and Langcheng are facing each other, the battle has become a stalemate, and if it drags on, it will not be good for either Ning Yue or Tianxing." Therefore, I want to enter the army as a military advisor and serve in front of Lou Xiyu's army. ”

"Shouldn't you go to Feiyan Pass?" Mu Qingjue asked suspiciously.

"I'll go to Feiyan Pass, but not now. Qingchen spoke, "Lou Xiyu is a famous general in the world, and there is almost no one in Ningyue Country today who can compare with Lou Xiyu except for the different surname Hou and the degraded Gu Yanzhao. Since the imperial brother has given Lou Xiyu full authority to attack the Ningyue Kingdom, then wouldn't I know more information in front of Lou Xiyu's army than when I go to Feiyan Pass?"

"Do you want to ......" Mu Qingjue listened to Qingchen's words, a little incredulous.

"Since the imperial brother wants to sit on the world, then I will do my best to help the imperial brother get the world. Qingchen knew that Mu Qingjue had understood what he meant, so he said, "As long as the imperial brother believes me." ”

"Qingchen, you can think about it clearly, now what you have to face is the Ning Yue Country. And the new Emperor of Ning Yue is Xiao Yi. Mu Qingjue's eyes locked tightly on Qingchen, and he said this sentence in a low voice, as if he wanted to see something from Qingchen's face.

Qingchen raised his head and looked directly at Mu Qingjue, a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, indifferent and resolute, as if he had emptied everything. After a long time, I heard Qingchen's voice float out of my lips, indifferently:

"So what?"

Yes, even if it is Xiao Yi, so what? Even if Xiao Yi is her former husband, so what? Xiao Ling or Xiao Yi is a thing of the past after all, and what she wants to do is to completely erase the traces of that person from her life.

From the time Ye Xi died under Xiao Yi's sword, from the time she knew that everything in Ning Yue Kingdom was pushed by Xiao Yi behind her back, there was no going back.

"The token I gave you, you are so good to keep it, with this token, you can be unimpeded in the palace, the court and even the army. Mu Qingjue shook his head and sighed, not knowing how to feel, and finally spoke, "Qingchen, even if you are no longer the Qingchen who needs the protection of the imperial brother as before, the imperial brother still hopes that you can be happy." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang. Qingchen looked at Mu Qingjue, a wave of emotion crossed his heart, and he was about to say goodbye, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Qingchen turned around after the sound, but saw the leader of the guards who was guarding the gate of Qingyi Garden walking in in a hurry, kneeling on one knee, clasping his hands into fists, and said to Mu Qingjue:

"Your Majesty, something happened to Qingyi Yuan. ”

Hearing this, a playful smile flashed in Qingchen's eyes, turned his head to look at the guard, and suddenly spoke: "It seems that in the past month or so, a lot of interesting things have happened in the palace. ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone, which made the guard who was kneeling on the ground shudder.

"Tell me clearly, what happened?" Mu Qingjue heard the unkindness in Qingchen's tone, so he asked sharply.

"Back to the emperor, the girl who lives in Qingyi Yuan has been poisoned. The guard replied, "Miss Huai Jin asked the lowly to come and report that she needs some antidote herbs." ”

Listening to the guard's words, Qingchen snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Mu Qingjue's face, and without hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the imperial study directly, heading towards Qingyi Garden.

"Tianquan, go to Xuantai Doctor to Qingyi Yuan. Mu Qingjue instructed Tianquan, and then followed behind Qingchen and hurriedly followed.

Qingchen walked quickly, did not hide his martial arts at all, and even slightly brought a little light skill, and soon arrived at the door of Qingyi Garden, those guards saw her and wanted to stop her, but saw Qingchen take out the token given by Mu Qingjue, and snorted coldly: "Get out of the way, something happened to the girl inside, only you ask." ”

When the guard heard this, he was stunned and put Qingchen in, and at this moment, Mu Qingjue also followed, entered Qingyi Garden, and arrived at Langyu Xiaozhu.

As soon as Qingchen entered, he saw Yao Yan, dressed as her, lying on the soft couch with a pale face, frowning, and the beads of sweat on her forehead oozed out one by one, as if she was enduring something.

"What the hell is going on?" Mu Qingjue came in and asked.

"Brother Huang, can't you see it? Miss Yao was poisoned, and the person who was supposed to be poisoned and lying here was me. The cold light on Qingchen's face flashed, and he said coldly.

Huai Jin and Zhan Yu were originally facing away from the door, guarding Yao Yan's side, but when they heard the voice, they immediately turned their heads in surprise and looked at Qingchen: "Girl, you're back!"

"How is Miss Yao?" Qingchen nodded at the two, glanced at Yao Yan again, and asked.

"Miss Yao was poisoned after eating the food sent by Wanxin, and the poisoner was very careful and did not put the poison directly in the food, but smeared it on the chopsticks. Miss Yao was caught off guard and poisoned, but fortunately, Miss Yao knew martial arts, and her luck resisted the spread of toxicity, and I had already injected her to temporarily suppress the toxicity. Huai Jin simply said the matter.

"Can you solve it?" Qingchen asked.

"It can be solved, but the medicine required for detoxification is extremely rare, because the poisoner uses a very rare poison, which is menacing, if it weren't for Miss Yao's martial arts, plus me and Zhu Yu from the side, I'm afraid it will be ...... now" Huai Jin said, sighing slightly, "What do you need?" Mu Qingjue was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Flowers among the clouds. Huai Jin turned his gaze to Mu Qingjue and spoke in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, and everyone didn't speak, including Qingchen, but just looked at Huai Jin, trying to see some clues from her eyebrows.

If she remembers correctly, Yunjian Flower is the medicine prescription of Nankong Shen, which can solve the strange poison on Xiao Yi's body, that is, the antidote to Zhi Lanrui, and now, she has also been hit by Zhi Lanrui, so today's matter, is it someone who wants to harm the girl of Qingyi Yuan, or does Huai Jin have a heart to do it?
