Chapter 009: The Imperial Study
If the palace of Ningyue Kingdom has a trace of the majestic atmosphere of northern architecture, then the palace of Tianxing Kingdom is a typical southern building, chic and exquisite.
Even the imperial court, which symbolizes supreme power, has a hint of the smell of small jasper.
In the silent night, the enchanting shadow of the dust flashed, leaving no trace, and went straight to the imperial study.
From Qingyi Garden to the imperial study, it takes a long way to pass through the imperial garden and bypass the rockery to get to the Weiyang Palace where Mu Qingjue lives, and the side hall of the Weiyang Palace is the imperial study.
At this time, it was the second watch, and Mu Qingjue was still in the imperial study to review the folds sent from all over the country, especially the Feiyan Pass on the northeast border, which was in confrontation with Ningyue Guolang City, and the war was about to break out. It is also about to move in northern and southern Xinjiang, and it seems that there is also a tendency to transfer troops to get involved.
Just when Mu Qingjue opened a recital, his brows were deeply locked, and he couldn't figure it out, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing around, and a dark shadow suddenly fell on the recital in front of him, he couldn't help but look up, and what caught his eye was Mu Qingchen, who was shouting and smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking at him.
The smile on Qingchen's face made him trance, it was clearly a familiar face, and it was clearly his sister who grew up, but before he knew it, she had gradually escaped from his control, no longer the little girl who depended on him for everything, but a strange woman who was in charge of everything and even had the talent of the world.
As...... She used to be.
"The imperial brother has a lot of opportunities, and he refuses to rest even late at night, so there must be something to worry about, right?" Qingchen looked at the complicated look on Mu Qingjue's face, then asked, and then walked to the chair on Mu Qingjue's right and lower head, turned around and sat down, looking at him for a long time.
"How did you get out of Qingyi Garden?" Mu Qingjue didn't answer the question, he was puzzled in his heart, but his face was silent, "You know martial arts, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to evade the heavy guards along the way and come here from Qingyi Garden." ”
"I drank a jar of drugged apricot wine to your guards, and they fainted, so I came out. Qingchen said, "Brother Huang doesn't believe that I can help you, but now, I can be regarded as a proof?"
"I used to be reluctant to believe it, but now I can't believe it. Mu Qingjue opened his mouth and said, "Qingchen, if you want to, you may not be the empress of the Heavenly Star Kingdom. ”
"Brother Huang is too worried, Qingchen has no intention of being an empress, and he has never thought that if he is a man, he should compete with the royal brother. Qingchen just wants to realize his long-cherished wish, and then retreat indifferently. Mu Qingchen said.
"Can you answer a few doubts in the imperial brother's heart first?" Mu Qingjue heard this, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Qingchen and asked.
There are some things he can not ask or not know, but there are some things that he has to figure out. After all, the difference between Mu Qingchen and the front and back is too great, and judging the two of them completely subverts his previous perception of Mu Qingchen.
"Brother Huang said it directly. Qingchen thought about it, and she already knew what Mu Qingjue was going to ask, and now, she needed Mu Qingjue's support, so she should always give him an explanation.
"Where did you learn these skills?" Mu Qingjue asked.
As for martial arts, I secretly learned it when Lou Xiyu practiced martial arts, and I was afraid that you would be unhappy to know it, so I didn't say it. Qingchen said a lie that he didn't believe in without changing his face, and he was calm.
Fortunately, she had enough understanding of Mu Qingjue and Lou Xiyu in her previous life, and she also knew that the first emperor of the Heavenly Star Kingdom doted on her children and took them with her to teach them personally, and let her know the relationship between Lou Xiyu and Princess Yukou, so although these explanations were made up, they sounded reasonable, so that Mu Qingjue could not find any flaws.
Mu Qingjue looked at Qingchen and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any words to refute Qingchen's statement. After all, there is already a brilliant Ye Qingcheng in the world, so it is not surprising that Mu Qingchen, who is also a daughter, has such intelligence and intelligence.
"So...... Say what you planned. Mu Qingjue sighed lowly, and finally compromised with Mu Qingchen.
Hearing this, Qingchen finally laughed slowly, she got up and walked to Mu Qingjue's side, stretched out her hand to take out the fold pressed under Mu Qingjue's palm, put it back on the table, and after a hurried glance, she said:
"To solve these problems, the key is to control Yancheng first. ”
"How to control it?" Mu Qingjue's gaze swept coldly over the fold, and he raised his eyes and asked.
"Just leave this matter to me, the imperial brother only needs to arrange for someone to take over Su Baohua's position. Qingchen opened his mouth and said, "In addition, although the imperial brother has formed an alliance with the empress of Southern Xinjiang, the infighting between the regent and the empress has not yet ended, and the result is still unknown. ”
"You mean, jade has no fate?" Mu Qingjue frowned slightly and asked lightly.
"Yes, Yu Wuyuan is the national teacher of Southern Xinjiang, and he doesn't seem to have any real power on the surface, but he has no less power in his hands than the regent of Southern Xinjiang. What's more, Jade has no chance to have a respected status in the hearts of the people of Southern Xinjiang, far surpassing the empress, as long as he gets his promise, then the Tianxing Kingdom will have no worries. ”
Qingchen straightened up, spoke generously, with a confident smile on his face, and his eyebrows were full of light, which actually made Mu Qingjue lose his mind for a while.
"The national teacher of Southern Xinjiang is said to be strong in martial arts and has a strange temper, and often the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and this matter may not be easy. Mu Qingjue shook his head slightly and said.
"It depends on whether the royal brother is reluctant to give up the treasure in the treasury. As far as I know, Yu Wuyuan has a very extravagant habit for this person, that is, he likes gold, I heard that he washes his face and hands with water with gold beans, I remember that in the treasury of the imperial brother, there is a string of Buddhist beads made of gold, a total of one hundred and eight, each of which is pure gold. If you can do what you like, is the imperial brother still afraid that this matter will not work?" Qingchen told Mu Qingjue what he knew, and his tone was very determined.
"The people I sent to Southern Xinjiang didn't find out about these things, how did you know about them?" Mu Qingjue asked.
"These royal brothers can ignore it, the imperial brother just needs to know that I can help the imperial brother. If the imperial brother wants to chase the world and annex Ning Yue, then he should not refuse my help. Qingchen said, and added in his heart: What's more, subverting Ningyue has always been my obsession.
Since the moment she was reborn, she has lived for revenge, and once because of Xiao Yi, she wanted to give up and escape for a while. But later, on the tower of the imperial city, Xiao Ling did not hesitate to tear open this fact, letting her know that she had always been self-righteous and that she was being used by others.
Because Zhuo Kai is Xiao Yi's person, Xiao Yi killed all the secret guards on the vast mountain, but Zhuo Kai was the only one left, even at the bottom of the Qingya Valley, it was because she took advantage of Xiao Yi's inattention to send Xiao Yi's sword forward and wiped Zhuo Kai's neck.
Since you can't escape, it's better to face it like this, and make a complete mess in order to get a new life.
The resoluteness that flashed in Qingchen's eyes made Mu Qingjue a little surprised, but he didn't allow him to think about it too much, so he heard Qingchen speak again and said:
"Qingyi Yuan, you send someone to live in it, make it appear that I haven't left yet, I will leave the palace in another capacity and go to Yancheng, Brother Huang, I promise you, within two months, I will send Su Baohua's head to you to sacrifice the flag. Without Su Baohua and Mobei's secret communication, there is no chance of jade in southern Xinjiang to help contain it, and the imperial brother will be able to deal with Ning Yue with peace of mind. ”
"Speaking of which, you still have to leave the palace. Do you know that now the whole world, including Xiao Yi, thinks that you are dead, if your identity is accidentally exposed, how much disaster it will bring to the Heavenly Star Kingdom. Mu Qingjue said.
"Brother Huang, please rest assured, if you come to Qingyi Garden early tomorrow morning, I will tell you what kind of method I use to hide people's eyes. Qingchen seemed to be unimpressed by Mu Qingjue's worries, and had some ideas in his heart.
Mu Qingjue looked at Qingchen, and saw that her every move was everyone's demeanor, not at all the Jade Hook Princess who was raised in the deep boudoir more than a year ago, he couldn't inquire about the things, she knew that what he was worried about, she promised to do it in two months. It's just over a year of effort, why is there such a big difference before and after cleaning?
If Qingchen was willing to show such talent in front of him more than a year ago, why would the Heavenly Star Kingdom be defeated?
"I promise you, but Yancheng is located at the junction of the three kingdoms, and there are many dragons and snakes, so I don't feel at ease if you go alone, so I will send someone to follow you. Mu Qingjue said.
"There have been too many changes in the past few days, it is normal for the imperial brother to be uneasy, Huai Jin and Zhan Yu must stay in Qingyi Yuan to hide people's eyes, and no one around me can follow, the imperial brother can just pick a few clever people who can do things to follow. Qingchen did not object, and said so.
After reaching an agreement with Mu Qingjue, Qingchen took advantage of the night to return to Qingyi Garden.
Because Qingyi Garden is a forbidden place, no one usually comes, and Qingchen has never had any problems living in it for many days, so there are no guards who patrol the night to find the guards who have passed out at the door. Let Qingchen go out generously and come in generously, but no one noticed.
"Girl, you're back, we're all scared to death. Seeing Qingchen return safely, Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said so.
"Come in with me, I have something to say to you. Qingchen commanded, and took the lead in walking.
Huai Jin and Zhan Yu glanced at each other, followed Qingchen into the house, looked at the solemn look on Qingchen's face, and couldn't help but worry in their hearts, not knowing what Qingchen was going to say.
Qingchen made her decision clear, and when she mentioned that she wanted to keep Huai Jin and Ji Yu in Qingyi Garden, she was opposed by the two sisters.
"No, the girl has always been weak and in poor health, and I have to follow to rest assured. Huai Jin, who has always been calm, was even more excited than Zhan Yu, and spoke first.
"I'm going to follow, Jin Yan and Ye Xi are dead, the two of us will stay, what if there is no one around the girl to serve?"
