Qing Yan

"What time is it?"

"Master, it's Hai time. Do you want to rest?"

Jing Yan shook his head, "Why hasn't Shi Mo come back yet?"

How can it be so fast?The emperor's bedroom is far away from Kuntai Palace, even if the footsteps are fast, it takes two quarters of an hour to go back and forth.

Bingbi slandered inwardly, but he also knew that the queen mother was anxious, so he hurriedly comforted him: "I think she will be back soon. Master, don't worry!"

I haven't seen Wuyou for half a day, what is she doing?In these days, there has never been a situation that has not appeared for so long.

The more Jing Yan thought about it, the more irritable she became, and the stitches under her hands became more and more messy. She simply put aside the purse and needlework in her hands.

The sound of hurried footsteps, wrapped in cold air, broke in from the opened curtain.

"Master! The servant girl is back." It was Si Mo.

"Has the emperor rested?" Jing Yan asked anxiously.

Shi Mo was quite embarrassed, and stammered: "Your Majesty... I didn't see Your Majesty..."

"Is the emperor not in the bedroom?" Jing Yan propped himself up.

"Yes."

"Where did she go? Is she writing papers in Chongyang Palace again? It's the coldest place in Chongyang Palace on such a cold day. It's no joke to be frozen!"

Shi Mo was afraid that his master would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, Your Majesty is not in Chongyang Palace either."

Jing Yan frowned.

"When the servant turned back, he met Shen Quan who was beside His Majesty. He said that His Majesty was in Langhuan Pavilion all night."

"Langhuan Pavilion?"

"Yes. Shen Quan said that His Majesty has been with the white-clothed girl who used to escort her on the battlements all the time. It seems that she had some important matters to discuss, and even she was sent away."

Chai Qi?

What can Wuyou and Chai Qi discuss in Langhuan Pavilion?Jing Yan thought to himself.

She is not Yu Wenrui, so she can't be completely unguarded against Chai Qi, not to mention that Chai Qi has that same relationship with the one from Yi Wang's Mansion.

Since the matter of Shen Cheng came out, in the past few days, Jing Yan sent people to watch Shen Cheng's actions, and secretly sent people to investigate, and the clues pointed to Yi Wang's mansion.Although she didn't dare to be very sure, she could still conclude that the mysterious person in the secret meeting Shen Cheng was inseparable from Yi Wangfu.

She is the Empress Dowager. Since Yu Wenrui came to the throne, she has always been vigilant and cautious.Therefore, Jing Yan is not as easy to trust Chai Qi as Yu Wenrui.The first thing she thought of was: If Chai Qi and Yi Wangfu really have any interests involved, it would be a great danger to Wuyou.

"The emperor is still talking to that girl in white at Langhuan Pavilion?"

"Shen Quan said that the girl in white has left, but His Majesty is still there." Si Mo replied truthfully.

Jing Yan was slightly angry: "What is she still doing there?"

In the middle of the night, not honestly going to the bedroom to rest, what are you doing in that cold and remote place?You have to toss and get sick before you give up?

Jing Yan suddenly got up, "Let's drive to Langhuan Pavilion!"

Bingbi hurriedly stopped him: "Master! It's freezing and snowy, your body is just better..."

Shi Mo also panicked: "Master, calm down! Shen Quan said that His Majesty was neither hungry nor cold in Langhuan Pavilion, and he also ordered to fetch a big sweater, so that he can prepare meals..."

Jing Yan gritted his teeth: "What is she messing around with!"

"Shen Quan said, His Majesty's exact words, she wants to be quiet."

Jing Yan is angry: Quiet?She wants to be quiet?What happened to get her so out of control that she wanted to hide?

What made her even more angry was: the emperor would rather hide in that cold and remote place by himself than go to Kuntai Palace to confide in his heart!Could it be that Kuntai Palace is a dangerous place?Or can't he listen to her heartfelt words?

Jing Yan simply didn't care about that little friend——

If you have something on your mind, don't tell the Ai family, does the Ai family still want to post it?Aijia is the queen mother, okay?

"Let's go away! Ai's family is going to rest!"

Bing Bi and Shi Mo looked at each other tacitly: Is the Queen Mother angry because Her Majesty doesn't come to serve you?

Said it was a rest, but I had something on my mind, how could I sleep?

In the faint breath of tranquilizing fragrance, Jing Yan tossed and turned a dozen times, without feeling sleepy.She simply opened her eyes, staring blankly at the intricate pattern on the top of the tent.

Even during rest time, Kuntai Palace is not completely dark.Dim yellow, warm candlelight leaked through the bed curtain, and the tassels on the curtain cast graceful shadows.It was very warm with earth dragon playing in the room.In this warm feeling that is as yellow as the late spring sunset, Jing Yan doesn't feel warm.

No, the body is warm, so warm that you can wear only a tulle-like pajamas.

However, the heart is lonely and cold.

She tossed and turned for an unknown number of times before falling asleep.

When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was.The dazzling light of the sun is faintly visible.

Jing Yan didn't sleep well, his joints were sore and hard.

She got up, and the brocade quilt was piled under her chest.

"Bing pen? Serving ink?"

What answered her was the raised curtain.Against the sun, the figure of the girl in the five-clawed golden dragon plain robe covered her body.He couldn't see the expression on his face, but Jing Yan felt that it was pure tenderness.

No worries!

Jing Yan's face turned pale with shock, his first reaction was to tightly grasp the brocade quilt under his chest, and pull it to his shoulders, covering the incomparably beautiful place in Yu Wenrui's eyes.

Yu Wenrui's stunning expression at the beginning turned into a faint sense of loss in an instant, but she smiled lightly in an instant: "Sister-in-law sleeps well?"

Jing Yan was slightly embarrassed, lowered his eyes and said angrily: "The emperor doesn't go to the early court, what is he doing in Kuntai Palace?"

Yu Wenrui pouted: "Sister-in-law, don't you even know what time it is? It's all gone!"

As she said that, she smiled and sat down next to Jing Yan: "Shi Aiqing's soup and medicine are also finished, so I'll accompany sister-in-law to eat delicious food."

As long as she gets close to her now, Jing Yan gets nervous, especially since she is still so "disorganized".

"You go out first... Aijia needs to change."

Yu Wenrui was disgusted, and he was very unwilling, and wanted to get tired of it, but was stared at by Jing Yan, so he had to retreat obediently.

It wasn't until the maid helped Jing Yan change clothes, wash his face, rinse his mouth, and comb his hair, that the two sat down facing each other.

Yu Wenrui slapped his palms like presenting treasures, and the maids rushed in one after another, filling up all kinds of meals.

"Sister-in-law's health is just right, Wuyou just asked Yu Kitchen to make some snacks, sister-in-law, try it?" Yu Wenrui said, grinning.

Jing Yan froze for a moment, and then cursed himself secretly: the sun must be too warm, and Wuyou looks...so pretty.

So she looked down at the food on this table, is this still "little"?

"How much can the Ai family eat? The rest is ruined, isn't it a waste of money?"

Yu Wenrui thought she looked good no matter what, so he nodded his head like a pest: "Sister-in-law said, change it next time, change it next time."

Jing Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her face, there seemed to be no tired look in her brows and eyes, and she felt more at ease in her heart, but she didn't want to wipe away what happened last night.

"The emperor didn't return to the palace last night?"

"Well, it's in Langhuan Pavilion."

Jing Yan waited for the next sentence, but only waited for a word: "Are you hungry?"

Something was on her mind, and Jing Yan had no appetite, so she looked at Yu Wenrui quietly.

Yu Wenrui was terrified by her.

Jing Yan said coolly: "The emperor met Miss Chai yesterday?"

Yu Wenrui froze for a moment, his mood that had just gotten better because of being face to face with his beloved fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat first."

Jing Yan was very displeased that she was hiding something from him, and said bluntly: "What happened so that the emperor didn't go back to the palace at night and stayed in Langhuan Pavilion?"

Yu Wenrui was not dull, he had already sensed the difference in her expression, so he could only say: "I wanted to wait until my sister-in-law finished her meal..."

"What happened?"

"Yang Lie was killed by... Little Eight Sister." Yu Wenrui was depressed.

Jing Yan was startled, several possibilities were quickly circling in his mind, but he saw Yu Wenrui's painful expression.

"Sister Ba was surrounded by Yang Lie's bodyguards... Seriously injured... went away"

Dang-

Hearing the phrase "Go", the silver chopsticks in Jing Yan's hand fell to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yu Wenrui was frightened, and hurriedly supported her.

Jing Yan pushed her away lightly, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you know?"

"Senior Sister Chai told me last night."

Jing Yan's heart rose to her throat, "How did she know?"

"Senior Sister Chai was ordered by Master to go to Beizheng to retrieve this..." Yu Wenrui called Shen Quan as he said.

Shen Quan holds a long box.Yu Wenrui opened the box and took out a long object.

Jing Yan stared at the thing in disbelief, and the muscles on his face trembled due to excessive tension.

"Senior Sister Chai is here to get this." Yu Wenrui said, holding an ancient long sword in front of Jing Yan.

Jing Yansu tremblingly pressed the scabbard on the scabbard, with a little force, brushed the two seal characters on it - non-gong.

Yes, that's it.

It was it that had accompanied that high-spirited man to the battlefield.

However, when he came back, the man had gone and the sword was gone.

That person used to accompany him when his mother passed away when he was young, and coaxed him in different ways; that person once turned against his biological mother in order to marry him; that person said that he would give himself a stable life ;The man said that he wanted to rule the country for himself.

All of a sudden, all the past flooded into Jing Yan's mind, causing her sitting body to shake unbearably.

However, she clenched the scabbard tightly after all, even though her palm was hurting, she did not want to let go.

"Sister-in-law..." Although she had expected the reaction that sister-in-law might have, when she actually saw it, Yu Wenrui couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart.

Jing Yan twisted his neck stiffly, his eyes were red, I don't know if the eyes were red because of sadness, or because of grief and anger.

Such Jingyan, Yu Wenrui felt strange, and an inexplicable panic permeated her, occupying her heart.

"You said just now, that person is really... dead?" Jing Yan said almost word for word.

Yu Wenrui naturally knew who "that person" was. She had a sore nose and felt sad. She bit her lip and said "um".

Jing Yan laughed suddenly, bleakly and helplessly.

She opened her cherry lips lightly, and only uttered one word, but it hurt Yu Wenrui's heart——

"it is good!"
