The Queen's Secret

"Well, I'm full."

Qi Yu put down her chopsticks, she didn't eat much, especially the recent case, which made her lose her appetite.

"Huh? Eat so little?"

Zhao Muyan saw that there was more than half of the white rice in Qi Yu's heart bowl, and couldn't help frowning, worried that this person was not feeling well.

"Well, that's enough."

Qi Yu took a look at the sky and said, "I should go back, I still have things to do."

Zhao Muyan is busy recently, and Qi Yuxin is also busy, the two of them don't meet much, but during lunch time, Qi Yuxin will always be invited to Fengxi Palace for dinner.

"Ah."

Zhao Muyan also had something to do, so naturally she couldn't stay longer, but she stood up, stepped forward, hugged Qi Yu's heart, and sighed.

"I don't want you to go..."

Zhao Muyan was always very direct about expressing his missing, but Qi Yuxin, although she was also reluctant, couldn't say it so bluntly.

Qi Yuxin blushed, and hugged Zhao Muyan back, using actions instead of words to express what she wanted to say...

She hated Zhao Muyan, and also hated Zhao Muyan being so tired, but everyone has their own responsibilities, especially Zhao Muyan, who is now the assistant queen mother, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a day-to-day affair. When Tang Qi is really familiar with everything, will be much better.

"I should go back."

Qi Yuxin planted a kiss on Zhao Muyan's forehead, and Zhao Muyan was willing to let go of Qi Yuxin. The two hearts who know each other are so inseparable...

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

Meng Gan was following the Orion's house, and Qi Yu was planning to go to Meng Gan to keep up with the progress, thinking that he might not be able to come back at night, and asked Lin Qingxuan to take care of the old case room.

"By the way, for you... a little alone time."

Qi Yu made fun of Lin Qingxuan in a rare way. Lin Qingxuan blushed and said angrily, "You...when did you become so naughty..."

Qi Yu smiled without saying a word, stopped teasing Lin Qingxuan, and left Huang Cunmen.

Qi Yuxin walked all the way to the suburbs, the weather was very cold, but the snow was already melting, and spring was coming soon.

In the tall grass, Qi Yuxin found Meng Gan, who was sneaking around. The arresters have a habit of hiding, so the arresters can easily find each other's hiding places.

"Meng Gan."

"Wow! Sister Yuxin scared me to death!"

Meng Gan almost sat down on the grass, how did he know that Qi Yuxin would appear suddenly.

"What did you find?"

Seeing the guilty look, Qi Yu held back her smile and asked softly about the progress of the case.

But Meng Gan looked downcast, and said: "I didn't find anything, the Orion couple are very loving, they are almost inseparable, I think the female Orion must not be the scholar's best friend..."

Seeing the love of the Orion couple, Meng Gan was almost envious and jealous. He felt that the Orion woman could not have an affair with a scholar.

"There are no absolutes in this world."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she hid like Meng Gan, paying attention to the actions of the Orion couple...

Really loving...

The old Orion doesn’t want the female Orion to be involved. Except for hunting in the mountains together, the housework is done by the old Orion, while the female Orion concentrates on taking care of the second child, and the son is also very filial to the two elders. Although poor, he is harmonious family of...

But Qi Yu didn't give up, and still stared at Meng Gan until nightfall, his neck was sore, and when they all turned off the lights, Qi Yu thought of giving up.

"What happened when they went up to the mountains to hunt?"

"The harvest is okay."

"..."

"Just kidding, the old Orion also protects the female Orion everywhere, preventing her from getting hurt."

Qi Yu nodded heartily, then turned to look at the house with the lights off...Could it be...he guessed wrong again?

"Come back!"

Meng Gan and Qi Yuxin were walking back to the city side by side. It was already night, and there were not many pedestrians in the city, and even fewer people in the suburbs. It was too late, so I planned to go back to Tao's house for one night.

"Maybe I missed something, I will make another arrangement tomorrow."

Qi Yu's mind was a little confused... Did she miss something, or... She missed something?

"Okay, then..."

Before Meng Gan finished speaking, there was a slight sound of weapons clashing, and Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan immediately glanced at each other, there was something wrong!

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan followed the sound all the way to find it, and saw a group of about ten men in black surrounding a person.

assassin? !To actually cause trouble outside the capital, so arrogant!

Qi Yu frowned, and said to Meng Gan in a deep voice, "Send the signal."

Meng Gan listened and released the signal.

bump--

A bouquet of firecrackers burst into the air, sending out gorgeous fireworks, and then dissipated.

"Kill it!"

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan drew out the fish-dragon knives pinned to their waists and rushed forward. The men in black heard the signal, and when they turned their heads, they saw two arresting officers approaching them, and they divided half of them up. Resist before.

The men in black just wanted a quick fight, and after a few tricks with Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan, they swarmed towards the people they surrounded.

Qi Yu could see that person stubbornly resisting, and in a daze, she seemed to see who that person was.

"Yuanzhi?!"

The man seemed to have heard the voice, and turned his head to look at Qi Yuxin. Yuan Zhi's face was stained with a lot of blood, and Qi Yuxin almost turned red in front of her eyes...

Yuan Zhi couldn't even make a sound, his hands were busy resisting the killing of the man in black.

"Damn!"

Meng Gan was kicked and cursed in pain, Qi Yu got up and avoided all the men in black, rushed into the sword circle, and protected Yuan Zhi behind him...

"Qi...cough cough..."

Yuan Zhi was seriously injured, and it was too late to be able to stand up, but the man in black in front of him was still approaching step by step, Qi Yu couldn't resist, but when Yuan Zhi came back, he would definitely bring back a lot of news, she couldn't Let Yuan Zhi have an accident.

"This time, I can finally repay your life-saving grace."

Qi Yu smiled heartily, but Yuan Zhi who was behind him was stunned and didn't speak...

Meng Gan sneaked up on the man in black from behind, and the rhythm of the man in black was disrupted. Qi Yuxin took advantage of the chaos and stepped forward to give the man in black a fatal blow, but only one fell down among the ten men in black...

The man in black in front of him was too murderous, as if the rolling sand also smelled of blood...

"The emperor's catcher is here!"

At this moment, a group of arresting officers came, and they rushed towards the men in black, who glanced at each other, and when they were about to escape, they were quickly surrounded by arresting officers.

"kill!"

The arresting officer rushed forward, while Qi Yuxin was protecting Yuan Zhi and stepped back, asking, "The dead man of the Eighth Emperor?"

Qi Yu has learned the martial arts of these men in black once, and the routine is the same as that of the dead man who assassinated her before...

"Ah."

Yuan Zhi fell to the ground powerlessly, Qi Yuxin immediately supported him, so that this person did not pass out immediately.

At this time, Qi Yuxin realized that Yuan Zhi had suffered multiple sword wounds, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as bruised.

The sound of clashing swords could be heard endlessly, and Qi Yu panicked for a moment. Looking at Yuan Zhi who was about to die in front of him, he immediately pricked several big acupuncture points on his body to stop the bleeding.

A dozen arresters came, and quickly subdued the men in black. Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, those men in black bit their tongues and committed suicide.

Qi Yu was not surprised, a dead soldier, if the mission fails, he will die.

"Isn't this Yuan Zhi?"

"Ah! I was seriously injured!"

"Go back and heal!"

Once the crisis was over, all the arresting officers began to chatter, Yuan Zhi took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it to Qi Yuxin, saying, "Give it to...the emperor...cough cough."

After Qi Yuxin took the notebook, Yuan Zhi passed out completely, and she immediately said: "Come here, quickly take Yuan Busi back to heal his wounds!"

"Yes!"

Meng Gan ran to Qi Yuxin's side at this time, looking at the blood-stained notebook on Qi Yuxin's body.

"what is this?"

Qi Yu lowered her eyes and opened the book. Inside was a roster...a roster for buying and selling official positions...

"I need to go to the palace immediately to have an audience with the emperor. I will go back to the Huangzhumen to inform Master Tao, and say that Yuan Zhi has obtained the roster, and let him go to the palace to have an audience immediately."

Qi Yu's heart was beating wildly... She knew how important this roster was, that's why Yuan Zhi was desperate to protect it...

"Yes!"

Qi Yuxin was stained with Yuanzhi's blood, but she didn't care at all, and she was not afraid of offending Longyan, she only wanted to hand over the roster safely to the emperor's hands.

Qi Yuxin ran wildly all the way, and Qi Yuxin returned to the imperial city smoothly on the grounds that she had something important to report. After all, she was already a familiar face, and the guards easily let her go.

I rushed all the way to Emperor Qi's bedroom, seeing that the lights were still brightly lit there, and Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou's Feng Huo were there, so I thought it was the right time.

She held the roster in her hand so tightly that she could even feel her palms getting hot...

"Who is coming?"

The guard's voice disturbed several people in the palace, and they all stopped to discuss the direction to look up to the gate.

"My humble minister, Qi Yu, has an urgent matter to report to the emperor."

"The emperor is discussing matters with the empress dowager and the eldest princess, so don't interrupt at will."

Hearing Qi Yuxin's voice, Zhao Muyan's heart tightened, and he ordered the palace servants beside him to let the guards let Qi Yuxin in.

Tang Yirou, on the other hand, looked puzzled...

This Qi Yu was looking for his wife and found the emperor's bedroom?

After Qi Yuxin came in, he knelt down in front of the three of them, and held up the bloody roster in his hands. When Zhao Muyan saw Qi Yuxin was covered in blood, his heart ached, and his fists and brows were tightly knit together, as if In the next moment, he will embrace the person in front of him in his arms.

"See the emperor, the queen mother, and the eldest princess."

"What's the report?"

Tang Qi was very patient. Qi Yuxin was not a reckless person. Although she didn't know what she was holding, it must be something important.

"Yuanzhi has returned to Beijing, and was hunted down by assassins in the suburbs, and this roster was handed over to Weichen by him. It is the roster of the Eight Emperors buying and selling official positions."

As soon as these words came out, the room was immediately quiet, and Tang Qi even took a deep breath. Regardless of his identity, he went directly to Qi Yuxin, took the roster, and ignored the blood stained on the roster.

Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou glanced at each other, stood up, went forward, and looked at the contents of the roster together with Tang Qi.

The eyes of the three people gradually showed surprise, then turned livid, and finally turned into gratified and triumphant smiles at the corners of their mouths.

"Okay...Okay! With this roster, I can wipe out all these scourges in the court!"

Tang Qi was excited, and he grabbed the roster as if he was holding his life. He looked down at Qi Yuxin who was kneeling, and said, "Where is the Yuan arresting department?"

"He was seriously injured and is being sent back to the Emperor's Catchment Gate to heal his injuries."

Qi Yu paused in his heart, and continued: "This time, the arresting officer has contributed a lot, and he swore to protect the roster to the death, so that the humble minister was able to safely deliver the roster to the emperor."

"Okay, come here!"

Tang Qi summoned a palace attendant, and continued: "Send the chief physician of the Royal Hospital to Huangzhumen to heal Yuanzhusi's injuries. I only ask him what's wrong with Yuandusi!"

"promise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qi Yu clasped his fists in his heart, thanking Tang Qi for his helping hand to Yuan Zhi.

"Please arrest the director."

Tang Qi cheered Qi Yu up, and Qi Yu stood up, but still didn't dare to look directly at the young emperor.

"Your Majesty, Master Tao Sect asks to see you."

"Okay, they're all here, please come in!"

Tang Qi turned around and returned to the dragon chair, while Zhao Muyan stood in front of Qi Yuxin and said in a low voice, "Very well done."

"Um…"

There was a hard smile on the corner of Qi Yuxin's mouth, and the interaction between the two was not overheard by others, so Zhao Muyan returned to his seat contentedly.

When Tao Mingyi came, Tang Qi immediately told him about the roster, while Qi Yuxin glanced at Zhao Muyan, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, but they immediately moved away, as if they were in love with each other. young lovers.

"emperor."

Although Zhao Muyan was thinking about Qi Yu's heart, he did not lose his sense of proportion.

"The top priority is to seal the border and prevent the Eighth Emperor from escaping."

The meaning behind Zhao Muyan's words is obvious...

Just to block Tang Zongyan's back path...
