Chapter 002: The Empress
Qingchen had nothing to do, so he kept lying on the soft couch, lazy and didn't want to move. Only when Huai Jin asked her to drink the medicine, she would move, and after drinking the medicine, she lay down again.
"Tell me about what happened after I fell unconscious. After a long time, Qingchen spoke lightly.
"I thought the girl wasn't going to know. When she heard Qingchen's words, she said, "It's been almost half a month since I woke up, and the girl didn't mention it at all, except for what we took the initiative to say." ”
"Okay, you go outside and watch, I'll tell the girl. Huai Jin interrupted Grip Yu's babbling and said so.
Grip Yu nodded, turned and walked out, guarding the door to prevent anyone from approaching. After all, this is the imperial palace of the Heavenly Star Country, and it is even more dangerous than the Yiwang Mansion of the Ningyue Country.
Qingchen didn't speak, Huai Jin stood by her side and told Mu Qingchen everything about what happened after the night of the Imperial City Palace.
Originally, according to Qingchen's plan, Ning Chen should have led people to find the secret passage entrance of Fengzao Palace, and at the same time sent people to dig a tunnel leading to Fengzao Palace, and took Qingchen away by saving Feng Xiran, but they didn't expect that Ning Chen and they were one step late, and Xiao Ling burned Fengzao Palace in order to provoke the war between Ning Yue and Tianxing, intending to kill Mu Qingchen.
Fortunately, Ning Chen and the others came in time, and Jin Yan died in their place, so Ning Chen and the others took Qingchen out unconsciously. At that time, the imperial city was in chaos, no one knew that there was an unknown secret passage in Fengzao Palace, and everyone's attention was on extinguishing the fire and saving people, so no one knew that Qingchen had already left.
The people who picked up the star tower also moved that night, except for the old bustard girl on the bright side and the girl who didn't know about it, all the people followed Qingchen to the Tianxing Kingdom, scattered in various places in the Tianxing Kingdom, and survived in the world with different identities, and so far, no one knows that they once belonged to the Star Picking Building.
Ning Chen and the others escorted Qingchen all the way south to Tianxing, but fortunately, they were accompanied by Huaijin, so Qingchen's injuries could still be cared for better and did not continue to deteriorate. But when he was over the vast mountain, he was discovered by Mu Qingjue's people and directly brought back to the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom and arranged here.
"Night Death escorted Miss Luo to Tianxing first, found General Lou, told him the girl's plan, originally wanted to send troops to Ningyue when the girl was out of the Ningyue Country, but the Ningyue Country is located in the north, the weather is cold, General Lou is afraid that the soldiers of the Tianxing Country will be difficult to resist, so he will not move, until recently, he played the emperor, please General Yu lead 200,000 troops, and send troops to Ningyue. Huai Jin said.
"In other words, everyone in the Star Picking Tower is now in the Heavenly Star Kingdom?" Qingchen asked.
"Yes, until the girl gives an order, the people who pick up the star tower can quickly gather and obey the girl's orders. Huai Jin nodded and said, "In addition, Miss Luo is still in General Lou's army, and they don't know that the girl is still alive." ”
"Mu Qingjue's secrecy is very good, for my sister to send troops to Ningyue Kingdom, this excuse is also reasonable, and now, I can be regarded as completely disappearing in front of the world. The corners of Qingchen's mouth showed a sneering expression, "Anything else?"
"We are all trapped here and can't get out, and we can only occasionally learn about the situation outside through the palace maid who comes to deliver food, in addition to the imminent war, there is...... The new emperor of Yongning in Ningyue posthumously crowned Mu Qingchen as the queen of Jingde, and buried the emperor's mausoleum according to the queen's ceremony. Huai Jin replied.
"Yongning New Emperor...... Is it Xiao Yat? He finally sat in that position. Qingchen said, seemingly not interested in the Queen Jingde in Huai Jin's mouth.
Isn't it ironic that two lives of human beings ended up with the same result? The word queen is a supreme honor for others, but for Qingchen today, it is an indelible scar in his heart.
"What is the girl going to do?" Huai Jin asked, "If the Star Kingdom has already sent troops today, taking advantage of the instability of the Ningyue Kingdom's power, they will be caught off guard, and the war between the two countries is imminent, plus Xiao Ling and Mobei formed an alliance before, and the southern Xinjiang is connected with the Celestial Star in a line, and the situation is in crisis, and it is about to break out." ”
"What should I do? Now that I'm trapped here, what else can I do? If I didn't have Mu Qingchen's identity, Mu Qingjue would probably use me without hesitation. Qingchen said, and then spoke, "Let's go and see, you can't do anything, you can only wait and see, maybe...... The opportunity is coming soon. ”
"Yes. Huai Jin nodded and said.
"Huai Jin, let you be trapped here, wronged, I know you are worried about Brother Feng, when I find a way to get out, I will let you go. Qingchen suddenly looked at Huai Jin and said.
The girl laughed, I was more worried about the girl than the owner of the wind building. Huai Jin said, "Even if I know that the girl is in Zhilanrui, I still can't do anything." ”
"Girl, the palace maid who delivered the meal today is here, and she also asked us to ask the girl if there is any dish she wants to eat recently, and they can make it and send it over. Just then, Ji Yu walked in and said.
When Qingchen heard this, a touch of deep thought flashed between his eyebrows, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, hooked his fingers, and asked Huai Jin and Zhan Yu to come over and say something in their ears, but when they saw surprise flashing in their eyes, they nodded clearly and went out.
Seeing the two girls go out, Qingchen leaned on the soft couch, thinking about the current situation in his mind.
If she had been willing, she would have ignored these things, because Mu Qingchen was already dead in the eyes of the world, and died in the fire of Fengzao Palace, and no one in the world knew that she was still alive except for the brothers of Xinglou and Mu Qingjue. As long as she wants, she can live in this small courtyard for the rest of her life, anyway, Mu Qingjue, as the king of a country, is not afraid of raising one more person.
But she couldn't. Because, she still has a lot to do.
She didn't know what Feng Xiran's injury was, after all, it was to save her, she promised Jinyan to let her go back to the Heavenly Star Kingdom to see her brother alive, but she broke her promise, although she didn't want to, but Jinyan died for her in the end, she had to find Jinyan's brother, in order to comfort Jinyan's spirit in the sky.
The brothers of the Star Picking Tower have sacrificed a lot for her, and even followed her out of the Star Picking Tower Underground Palace, where they had lived for many years, and left their hometown to come to the Star Country, just to protect her side, how could she let it go?
What if you take revenge? The Ye family's unjust case is Zhaoxue, but she can't tell the world as Ye Tingcheng that she was Ye Tingcheng who was unjustly killed and poisoned by Xiao Ling, and she can't even stand up and tell everyone in a dignified manner that her Ye family did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.
Since there are still unfinished matters, then...... What I can do now is to get out of this place and get out successfully. And whether this matter can be done smoothly depends on the acting skills of Huai Jin and Zhan Yu.
Huai Jin and Zhan Yu went outside, and when they saw the palace maid who was in charge of delivering food every day, they glanced at each other and walked towards her.
"My sister brings food every day, and I'm tired. Huai Jin said to the palace maid, looked around and saw that there was no one, and then stuffed a piece of silver in his hand into the palace maid's hand.
The palace maid's eyes widened, she looked around in a panic, and found that no one was paying attention, so she quietly put away the silver, and said to Huai Jin with a smile:
"It's too polite to call my sister, my name is Wanxin, I am specifically responsible for delivering food to the girl inside, the emperor has instructed, if the girl has any requests, she can put it forward, and the slaves and maids must do it." ”
"Sister, why are you stuffing silver for her? Our girl is beautiful and fragrant, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, sooner or later she will enter the palace as a concubine, why bother this little girl like this. Zhan Yu turned his head into Huai Jin and said, trying to sing blackface.
"This is the girl's order, not to mention, it is not easy to be gentle. Huai Jin persuaded.
"Well, I see, since it was the girl's order, I won't say anything. Zhan Yu nodded, turned his head to look at Wanxin, and said again, "Our girls have always eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, but recently they have been unwell and can't eat too greasy, so you can just make some bird's nest chicken soup, anchovy shark fin or something, let our girls replenish their bodies." ”
"My sister is too impulsive, don't mind, just do what she says, besides, trouble the girl to make another Bergamot Cake and a Phoenix Wings in the Imperial Dining Room, let my girl be an appetizer." Huai Jin said quietly, "In the past, when my girl didn't live here, these things were often eaten. ”
Wanxin listened to the name of the dish from Huai Jin and Ji Yu's mouths, and was stunned for a while, and only nodded after a long time, and said, "Don't worry, you two, I will let Mama tell the imperial dining room, and I will come back at dinner." ”
Huai Jin thanked her, and watched the girl named Wanxin leave.
After entering the house, Qingchen saw the smiles on Huai Jin and Zhan Yu's faces, so he asked, "What's the matter, the palace maid who delivered the food is gone?"
"Is this strategy useful, girl?" saw Qingchen asking, so he asked as well.
"Whether it works or not, you'll know if you try it. However, the girl has always been like a god, and she can see people accurately, so this time it will definitely be useful. Huai Jin said, "Didn't you see the expression on Wanxin's face when she heard what we said? ”
"That's right, she must be thinking about what kind of girl our girl is, she eats such expensive dishes every day, and the emperor still needs a girl now, and she must be responsive to the girl, she will definitely be more curious. Grip Yu nodded.
"Originally, our courtyard was mysterious enough, but now that it comes out like this, in a few days, it will spread all over this palace. Huai Jin said.
"It doesn't matter if it's spread all over the palace, the important thing is that Zhong Yuling knows it. Qingchen smiled and said, "As long as Zhong Yuling knows, we also have hope of going out." ”
After listening to Qingchen's words, Huai Jin and Zhan Yu looked at each other, but they never understood what Qingchen wanted to express. Could it be that after the Empress of the Heavenly Star Kingdom found out, wouldn't the emperor control and monitor them more closely? Why would there be a chance to go out?
Qingchen knew the doubts in the hearts of the two, and did not explain, but just had lunch under the service of Huai Jin and Zhiyu, and rested on the soft couch.
