Is the prince jealous today?

"Did you say anything?" Liu Yi rushed ahead of Qi Jian and spoke hastily.

"It is said to be related to the west side." The people in front of the imperial court kept their mouths tight, and Xiaosi only found out so much.

Liu Yi took a deep breath and put down the hand stove: "It seems that the worst situation is approaching."

"According to the arrangement of the letter you sent before, there will never be the worst situation." Qi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the stove on the table, and sighed slowly.

"Hopefully."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and then looked at the hand stove.The black hand stove cover was embroidered with crimson patterns, which looked soft and warm. He pursed his lips and tried to show a smile: "This hand stove, please return it to you. It is cold in Beijing, and it will be useful."

Qi Jian silently walked to the table and grabbed the cloak.

"Do you think the west side has already opened a call?" If in modern times, things that can be solved with a single phone call, in ancient times, it would be difficult to reach the sky. Thousands of miles away, no matter how determined Liu Yi is, he is powerless.

But it was clearly stated in the letter, even if the fight really started, it wouldn't be impossible to deliver the letter, right?What happened in the end, did the father not arrange the arrangement according to his instructions, or did something go wrong in the middle?

Liu Yi frowned, wanted to touch the jade tablet, but stretched out his hand only to remember that the jade tablet had already been given to someone, so he had to touch his nose twice, and then stopped.

Hearing the worry in his voice, Qi Jian turned her head and glanced at him: "It won't happen."

Before the words were finished, a servant came in from outside the courtyard and said a few words to Xiaosi in a low voice. Xiaosi frowned and walked in the door: "My son, Mr. Liu."

"What happened to the west?" Liu Yi's voice was hoarse.

"The west side is still safe, but Zhiwen sent back news that Liu Jiajun was seen at the border between Tubo and Beidi."

Tibet?That is Tibet?How could my father send soldiers from Sichuan to Tibet?Did it take the initiative to go there, or was it led to go there?Is it stuck, why is the letter from home delayed?

Thinking of this, Liu Yi's heart sinks a little bit. He is not worried about his father leading troops to defend the city, but if he is tricked, it will be different, let alone his mother and younger sister. I don't know whether they will stay with the army or stay in Shu ?And in the end, is Ann safe?

Confused and confused, Liu Yi patted her cheeks twice, took a deep breath, and stabilized her mind.

Now the Qiang and Di people are united with the intention of invading south. If they want to start a fight, they will probably choose the border between Qiang and Di. It is not impossible to attack from the border between Sichuan and Tibet.

However, the location there is not good, and the road is not easier than the Shu Road. If you really want to invade the south, you have to climb the plateau first. It is really not a good location to start a war. Why did they choose such a place?

Seeing that Liu Yi's face was getting darker, Qi Jian fastened the buckle of his cloak and poked him on the cheek: "We'll see when I come back from the palace."

Liu Yi raised his eyes to look at him, wanted to say go together, but then realized that Mian Sheng can't meet whenever he wants, so he nodded patiently.

Before Qi Jian stepped out of the door, another person hurried in from outside the door. Qi Jian withdrew her foot and looked at the person: "We have found news from the west?"

The servant responded, looking at Qi Jian and then at Liu Yi, seeing Qi Jian nodding, he opened his mouth in a low voice.

The news came from the second group of spies. The first group of spies arrived in Shu. They only heard that General Liu had quietly led his troops out of the camp. They searched for a day or two according to the general direction of leaving the camp, but they couldn't find General Liu. No news came back, Qi Jian couldn't wait in Beijing, and sent a second batch of people.

The second group of people set off, and they were about to approach the land of Shu, but they didn't find any trace of Liu's army, instead they encountered people sent by General Liu's lieutenant.

The man was seriously injured, he couldn't speak clearly, and he left before reaching the capital. Before he died, he vaguely explained that he was safe for the time being, and took out the sealed letter.

Liu Yi took the family letter from the servant, and looked at the creases on it, where there were two or three spots of red.His fingers trembled, and he couldn't open the family letter immediately.

Qi Jian sighed, took out the letter from his hand, opened it to read it, and said it was all right.

Only then did Liu Yi catch his breath, and when he took the family letter, he looked at it, the handwriting was undoubtedly from his father's notes, and there was a hidden symbol at the end of the letter, and it was sent by General Shi's subordinates, so the authenticity can be guaranteed.

After reading the letter, Liu Yi frowned, her expression was neither good nor bad.

The letter did not explain too much the reason for the expedition, but only said that the Qiang-Rong coalition forces had been intercepted in Longnan, General Liu took Shi Ning to sit in the town personally, Madam Liu and her daughter stayed in Shu, and were guarded by General Shi's soldiers. Safety.

It is good that people can be safe, but, according to the number of Shu soldiers, they are divided into two groups, one group guards the camp, and the other group surrounds them. The number of people in both groups will not be too large.

It would be great if someone could send troops to reinforce them.Pursing her lips, Liu Yi looked apologetically at Qi Jian: "I want to enter the palace."

"No trespassing without an edict." Qi Jian tidied up the hem of his cloak and went out the door.

Liu Yi followed behind him step by step, was stared at, paused for a moment, then stepped forward again: "I'll wait at the gate of the palace."

Qi Jian glanced at him again, seeing that he was also wearing a coat with a fur collar, so she didn't say much.

Liu Yi wrapped her outer robe tightly and followed behind Qi Jian. Hearing a few quick words between him and Wang Gonggong, she got up and walked out of the mansion.

No Tai Chi today?The speed of the speech was so fast, Liu Yi smiled unconsciously, the corners of his mouth drooped again while smiling, he tightened his clothes and followed into the carriage, sat down in the carriage and only remembered that the hand stove was still on the bedroom table.

It's not like I forgot to bring it, I said just now that I don't want it, Jing Lileng can use it, and I plan to go to Sichuan, so naturally I don't need it.

When he said this, Liu Yi thought that the meaning was clear enough, but seeing Qi Jian's reaction, Liu Yi couldn't tell whether he understood or not.

Rubbing his cold hands, Liu Yi wanted to pick a topic, but Qi Jian closed his eyes and rested his mind, obviously unwilling to pay attention to his appearance, he pursed his lips, and touched his nose in embarrassment. , but fortunately the tip of his nose was as cold as his fingertips, so he was not frozen.

Qi Jian sat in the car without opening his mouth. After the carriage started to drive, he leaned against the wall of the car and slowly closed his eyes.

In the past two or three months, Liu Yi has been ill intermittently, and he is used to putting his hands in Qi Jian's sleeves to keep warm, but now he just said such unfeeling words, he is too embarrassed to put his hands in again, so he can only keep rubbing.

After rubbing for a long time, her hands still haven't warmed up, but even her feet and body started to feel cold. Liu Yi helplessly pressed her hands under her buttocks, thinking, forget it, let's go to the cold.

The rustling sound stopped, Qi Jian looked up, opened the neckline of the cloak, and closed her eyes again.

The furry lapel was ripped open, and the inside of the cloak looked very warm. Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, looked away from the collar of the cloak, lowered her eyes, and stared at her toes.

How can it be so cold in March?It seems that the ice and snow are melting into the bones, freezing the bones together with the skin and flesh into frost. Even the heart seems to be frozen so that it will not jump, and the brain is also frozen into whiteness. I don’t even want to think.

However, it is impossible not to think, not only to think, but also to think hard about how to find opportunities to lead troops.

Father wrote in the letter that it was safe for the time being, but when the soldiers approached the city, Qiangdi was only stopped by the terrain of Longnan, and it was said that they were stopped, but in fact it was mostly stalemate, they could not enter, and the Liu family army could not move either.

In this situation, if you don't send troops to reinforce, you just wait to die. I understand it, and the emperor must understand it too.

So once he got the news, the emperor would definitely send troops to reinforce him, and whether the person to lead the troops would fall on him was the most important issue at present.

It's not that there is no chance to lead the soldiers, but with the name of the concubine, it is impossible for him to lead the soldiers.

The chest felt tight, and she exhaled slowly. Seeing that the exhaled air was white, Liu Yi froze for a moment, and trembled unconsciously.It's too cold. I'm afraid it's going to be below zero, right?How can you still breathe out?

Withdrawing his hand and rubbing his arms, Liu Yi began to tremble slightly. After only two seconds of trembling, a warm cloak descended from the sky, wrapping him from neck to toe, leaving only his head outside.

Qi Jian half-kneeled, turned up the fur collar of the cloak, and wrapped Liu Yi's chin and nose tip into it.

Liu Yi blinked her eyes, sniffed the cool scent on the cloak, and pursed her lips.

"You can't get in." Qi Jian hugged him through the cloak, and sighed, "I will enter the palace later, you go back to the mansion."

Because of Qi Jian's half-kneeling position, Liu Yi lowered her eyes, finally able to see the top of his head, staring at the golden headband for a while, Liu Yi's eyes were sour, and she couldn't make a sound after moving her mouth several times.

He couldn't say what he had thought about a long time ago, so why didn't he understand that he couldn't enter the palace, but there were some things that he really didn't want to say, even if it was half an hour at night, even if it was a few seconds late, it would be good .

That's why I stayed by Qi Jian's side and got into the carriage again. Seeing that there was still a short distance to go before reaching the gate of the palace, the words that had been circling in my mind countless times, but I still couldn't say them out.

However, sooner or later it must be said that if you can hide for a while, you cannot hide forever.The joy of the past few months is nothing more than a mirror image. The moment I saw the family letter, no, I knew it as early as the moment I knew that the Northwest teamed up, and Qi Jian must have understood it too.

Liu Yi moved her arms, wanting to leave Qi Jian's embrace, but she was greedy for the warmth of the cloak, so she was reluctant to use too much force.

Qi Jian tightened her arms, buried her head in Liu Yi's arms, and rubbed against her.

Liu Yi hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage to say a single word. Qi Jian quickly raised her hand and pressed his lips.

The two sat and knelt, their bodies swayed slightly with the car, Qi Jian pressed her fingertips on Liu Yi's lips, moving with the swing of the car, as if caressing and warning.

The grunting sound of the wheels gradually became quieter, and the speed also began to slow down. Liu Yi wanted to speak several times, opened her lips to meet Qi Jian's fingertips, and then closed them again. Finally, the carriage stopped slowly, and the shaking of the carriage body disappeared. Liu Yi knew that, The time has come, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

He looked down at Qi Jian's hair, stretched out his hand from the cloak, and wrapped it around Qi Jian's head: "Qing Yu, I'm sorry, I..."

Qi Jian broke away from Liu Yi, and wiped off the dust on his knees: "He Lishu is in the study drawer, leave the right to fight for the army to me."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Liu Yi's reaction, and directly opened the curtain. After jumping out of the car, Qi Jian turned her head in the bitter cold wind, and raised her lips to Liu Yi: "Go home, be careful of frostbite."
