Is the prince jealous today?

The emperor looked at Qi Jian who was kneeling on the ground, remained silent for a long time, and finally sat down on the chair: "Okay, this is the good son raised by King Qi."

"Only until the age of 15." Qi Jian knelt, her voice was calm, and she covered her mouth and coughed a few times after speaking.

Hearing this, the emperor frowned fiercely, and finally just sighed.

Wang Gonggong listened for a while, confirmed that the emperor did not intend to speak any more, and then lifted the curtain: "Your Majesty, the concubine Shizi has brought it."

"Come in."

Liu Yi walked into Nuan Pavilion, and the first thing he saw was Qi Jian kneeling on the ground. He walked to Qi Jian's side as if casually, raised his hem, faced the emperor, and knelt down without looking sideways: "My humble minister Liu Youchen, See the emperor, I wish the emperor long live long live long live."

"You came just in time, look, what is in front of you." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, most of his sharp eyes were covered by thick eyelids.

Liu Yi should be, leaning over to pick up the paper, but she kept staring at Qi Jian from the corner of her eye.Discovering his intention, Qi Jian turned her head and raised the corners of her lips to him.

If you can laugh, it's probably not a big deal, Liu Yi calmed down a little, and unfolded the paper with downcast eyes. There were some mountains and rivers drawn on the paper, and at some points, there were small circles drawn with cinnabar, and numbers were marked beside them.

This is a genuine deployment map.

It turned out to be a map of the defense of Shu, or it was revised and drafted a few months ago. Where did this map come from?How dare the person behind him give this picture to the spies?

Surprised in his heart, but it didn't show at all on the surface, Liu Yi finished reading, and slowly put the blueprint back on the ground.

"Tell me, what is this?" The emperor didn't see anything from his face, he looked away and drank his tea.

"The defense map of Shu." Liu Yi and Qi Jian said the same answer.

"Do you know where this picture came from?"

Liu Yi shook her head, her palms were slightly sweating.

"I don't know?" The emperor looked at him coldly, and raised his tone, "You Liu family is in charge of the border defense map. Now you tell me, where did this map come from?"

Liu Yi had thought about this situation in advance, and also wanted to solve the problem, but thinking of what to say next, Liu Yi's back was covered with cold sweat.

It is too risky to say this out loud, and it may even be suspected of rebellion, but if you don't say it out, it will be difficult to solve the current predicament.

Who cares about him, I don't want the child to be caught by the wolf, and if I go all out, I will offend the Holy Majesty and be dragged out to reward the board. Now that my father is entrenched in Xishu, with soldiers in his hands, the Emperor is afraid, so he won't want his own life.

Thinking about this point, Liu Yi slowly clenched his hand hidden in the sleeve into a fist, pondered for a moment, and spoke calmly as usual.

"Returning to the emperor, this map is indeed a map of the defense of Shu, but this map is in the camp of the Shu army, my father has it, General Shi has it, and the court... also has it."

He took a deep breath, stared at the emperor's increasingly gloomy face, and said seriously: "Most of you in the Nuan Pavilion have seen this picture, the third prince has seen it, the crown prince has seen it, all the ministers have seen it, and even you, Your Majesty, have all seen this picture. I've seen it before. So I really don't know where this picture came from."

I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, but I have never seen someone who is not afraid of death. After hearing this, everyone gasped.In order to get rid of the crimes of the Liu family, Liu Youchen did not hesitate to drag everyone into the water, even the emperor wanted to be dragged into the water?

Saying these words is equivalent to offending everyone in the Nuan Pavilion, Liu Yi sighed in her heart, quietly waiting for the emperor to be furious.

As long as the emperor is furious, not to mention the ministers, even the prince, even the black hand behind him, would not dare to come out at this time, and say something for the Liu family and himself.

This is exactly what Liu Yi wanted. Instead of temporarily escaping from danger, implicating the Shi family, and being manipulated by others, it is better to put yourself under the wrath first. At least in this case, no one dares to go against the holy will. Pretend to protect yourself.

The only way Liu Yi could think of was to ensure that the pawns played by the mastermind behind the scenes would not be able to drop pawns, muddy the pool, offend the Holy One, put them to death and survive.

The emperor never expected that Liu Yi would say that, his eyelids rolled up, he was silent for a long time, said yes, and smashed the teacup on the ground.

The sound was like thunder, and everyone fell to their knees with a crash. Qi Jian, who was already kneeling, also turned her body when everyone was kneeling, blocking Liu Yi behind her.

After the crisp sound, the tea splashed together with the fragments of the teacup, and Qi Jian's court clothes got wet.

Because of Qi Jian's blocking, Liu Yi's body was clean, without being splashed at all, and even the emperor's angry gaze on him was mostly blocked by Qi Jian's figure.

Staring blankly at the figure in front of her, Liu Yi pursed her lips.

Why bother to stand in the way, at this time, all I need to say is that although I am married, the minister does not know the details, so it's over?

After staring at Qi Jian's back for a while, Liu Yi slowly lowered her eyes. On the back of Qi Jian's court clothes, there was a python embroidered with gold thread. The golden light was shining, which made his eyes ache and his heart hurt a little.

After throwing away the teacup, the emperor had nothing to throw away. After confirming that the situation was safe, Qi Jian patted the hem of his clothes as if nothing had happened, looked sideways at Liu Yi, moved half of his body back with a smile, and opened his mouth to say something.

The emperor saw all his movements, and he didn't know what to recall, and his expression was in a trance for a moment.

Qi Jian then pointed to the defense map soaked in tea, and repeated it vowedly: "When you return to the emperor, I mean that I have never seen the defense map of Shu."

What Qi Jian said was the truth, he was not feeling well during the discussion that day, so he returned early.

However, according to Qi Jian's temperament, it is impossible to mention this just to clear himself up. The emperor's eyes were half closed, probably guessing what he was going to say, he frowned and shut up.

"I really haven't seen it." Qi Jian's face was innocent, and her eyes were full of incomprehension, "Unexpectedly, the spies I sent to Sichuan for the sake of my children's personal relationship could sneak into the Xirong camp. If you think about it, stealing back the defense plan that was passed on by someone, is it considered a great achievement?"

What, what is this all about?At this time, you still insist that the person was sent by yourself?Even, can the suspected crime of collaborating with the enemy be distorted into success?After hearing what he said, everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

Even the emperor was momentarily taken aback.

Qi Jian raised the corners of her mouth with a smile, pressed her chest, and said: "This spy is indeed mine. Back then, I was sorry for Youchen and caused him to be heartbroken and go away to the frontier. In the past five years, I had the heart to repent, so A spy was sent to check on his recent situation."

After planning well, the third prince couldn't help but said, "Qi Qingyu, I know you want to help Youchen get out of trouble, but in front of the Holy One, how can you disturb the holy hearing with nonsense words."

"Where am I talking nonsense?" Qi Jian glanced at him and snorted coldly, "That's right, the third prince doesn't have anyone who loves each other, how can he understand our kind of interest?"

interest?Does that sentence refer to fun?Hua Qiong's smile froze.

"You may not believe it, but I really have evidence." After coughing for a while covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Qi Jian took a breath and continued to speak.

"In the dark cell next to my bed, for the past five years, the spies have brought me back from Youchen's letterhead. The emperor can send someone to check." After saying this, Qi Jian coughed violently again, until finally , The corners of the eyes were stained with redness.

Liu Yi's heart trembled, she quickly turned to her side, and gently patted his back.

Qi Jian winked at him, raised the corners of her mouth, clutched her shirt on her chest with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief with the other. After the piercing cough, the back of the handkerchief was red.

Liu Yi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "Qi Jian?"

The scarlet blood dripped down the gap in the handkerchief, dyed the chest red, and hit the ground again. The coughing sound was still piercing, and even the gasping sound became more rapid, and then the rapid breathing stopped abruptly, and Qi Jian's body slowly fell to the ground go.

This change was too sudden, Liu Yi hugged him quickly, his eyes turned red suddenly: "Qi Jian!"

Qi Jian held Liu Yi's forearm with her clean hand, squeezed it tightly, and then let go immediately.

After pinching, he leaned his head on Liu Yi's shoulder as if out of strength, took a deep breath, coughed and panted, and the hot air was blown into Liu Yi's ears one after another. words.

Then, as if seeing something, he suddenly pushed Liu Yi away, his face was pale, and there was madness and hope in his mournful eyes, he wanted to rush to the door regardless, but because his feet were weak, he was about to fall down again as soon as he got up.

At the same time as her body hit the ground, Qi Jian's eyes were locked under the curtain, and her voice suddenly increased: "Father!"

As soon as the shrill roar came out, there was a sudden silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and even the officials who had surrounded them shut their mouths abruptly, and turned their heads to look at the door in horror.

With a broken cry, like a sharp weapon piercing straight into the atrium, Liu Yi's heart huddled in pain, and only the image of Qi Jian falling was left in front of her eyes.

Almost instinctively, she stretched out her arms, caught the trembling man firmly, and hugged him tightly, making sure that Qi Jian didn't fall anywhere, and then Liu Yi divided her thoughts and followed his gaze. look over.

There is a dark shadow under the curtain, half hidden in the shadow, it is hard to see clearly.Liu Yi squinted her eyes, barely able to see the black shadow, somewhat resembling the outline of riding boots, the ground around the black shadow was darker, as if it was soaked by something.

No one spoke, no one moved, and even the sound of breathing was barely audible, as if everyone was frightened by the incident.

Liu Yi even remembered the sentence she had read before, the battle for the heir apparent, King Qi once stepped on the bones, waded in the blood, and sent the emperor to the golden palace.

The wind and rain were blowing outside the window, and the traces of moisture became more and more obvious around the shadows. Under the swaying shadows, a rusty red faintly appeared, and Liu Yi paused for breath.

In the silence of everything, thunder rolled down from the sky, and the howling cold wind swept away the curtains.

Outside the curtain, there was no one there.

The crown prince hugged his head and screamed, the third prince's complexion changed drastically, the emperor looked ashamed, and lost his aura just now.

Amidst the screams, Liu Yi blinked her eyes in astonishment, the dark red shadows of the outer branches were just the shadows of red flowers on the trees.

Taking all these reactions into his eyes, Qi Jian panted heavily, leaned against Liu Yi's arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

Liu Yi looked away from under the curtain, and saw Qi Jian limp in her arms with bloodstains on the corner of her mouth.

"Qi Jian? Qi Jian?" He called twice, but no one responded.

Shouted twice, still no sound.

The bloodstains on the front of the skirt, the bloodstains on the hands, and the bloodstains on the corners of the mouth seemed to be all blended together, and Liu Yi suddenly remembered that when he was on the battlefield for the first time, when he killed someone for the first time, his eyes were also so glaring and scarlet.

The riding boots, King Qi, and the shadows of the branches all seemed to be far away, and even the person in his arms seemed to be separated by a layer of veil. Liu Yi tried to open his eyes wide, his mind went blank, and his fingertips began to tremble involuntarily.

It was impossible for something to happen. Even if it was tuberculosis or encephalitis, there was no reason to die directly. Knowing this, he didn't even have the courage to stretch out his hand to sniff.

There was a buzzing in her head, her throat seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible hand, what circled around Liu Yi's ears was the phrase "Father King" that Qi Jian yelled just now, two short words that could not be hidden in her voice despair.

Qi Jian wanted to die. At least for a few moments, the person in her arms really wanted to die. At least for a few times, she almost never saw this person again.

The voice gradually receded, the surroundings became darker, and the eyes became more and more blurred. This is not a secret room, nor a small dark room. This should not happen. Liu Yi comforted herself repeatedly, gasping for breath, but still couldn't resist the blackness in front of her eyes .

Qi Jian lay down for a long time, only heard Liu Yi's hoarse voice yell a few times, and then she didn't move again, neither calling for help nor calling for help, but her breathing became more and more rapid, and her body gradually became stiff.

Is this really scary?Qi Jian thought for a while, under the sleeve, where no one else could see, he curled up his index finger and gently scratched Liu Yi's palm.

Before completely falling into darkness, Liu Yi felt as if something had lightly scratched her palm.

The soft touch felt like a small knife, piercing the confinement on the throat, Liu Yi took a sharp breath, woke up, and finally could hear the surrounding voices.

He looked at the person in his arms in disbelief, held his hand stiffly, and felt Qi Jian secretly shake it back. The tears that Liu Yi had previously contained in his eyelids fell quietly down his cheeks. He shouted in a hoarse voice. You bastard, you can't make any more sound from your throat.
