The Queen's Secret

Following Li'er to Fengxi Palace, looking at the closed door, Qi Yu's heart was a little confused. Ever since she was drunk last time, she felt that her image would have been ruined in front of Zhao Muyan?

A heart is pulled in the throat, not up or down, a little nervous...

In the end, she took a deep breath, slowly pushed the door open, then looked back at Li'er, seeing that she had no intention of following, she closed the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she had already asked about the smell of the food. She walked around the screen and saw Zhao Muyan in a light palace attire.

Her smooth black hair was simply tied in a bun, adding a bit of laziness and coquettishness, while she was wearing a lavender and light palace attire, without the usual haughty aura, it was a bit more indifferent and a sense of lightness.

The corners of her eyes were half-smiles, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, making it impossible to see through her thoughts, but it made people want to get closer for no reason.

Qi Yu was absent-minded for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses, cupped her hands, and said, "See empress."

"Don't be too polite, just sit down!"

What kind of person is Zhao Muyan? When Qi Yuxin came in, her gaze never left Qi Yuxin's body. Her every move fell into his eyes, including the moment when she saw herself. Lost, she liked Qi Yuxin's reaction very much.

Qi Yu echoed her heart, and after sitting down, she sat upright and didn't dare to move. Just like before, she turned her head, looked at Zhao Muyan, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say...

If you get straight to the point like this...isn't it too good, do you want to be polite or something?

"The empress is in good spirits today..."

After Qi Yuxin said it, the skin from the neck to the ear was slightly reddened and hot, and it seemed a little embarrassing to say polite words to Zhao Muyan...

Zhao Muyan was taken aback, he didn't expect Qi Yuxin to say polite words, but seeing the faint pink on her neck, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, knowing that this person must have something to say to him, but he didn't say it. He just quietly stared at Qi Yuxin, and sure enough, he saw that the man tilted his head unnaturally, not daring to look at Zhao Muyan, and the cute ears that were exposed were also red...

Zhao Muyan only felt a tingling feeling in his heart dissipating, making his atrium feel hot...

"That...the Empress... Did the minister say something wrong?"

Zhao Muyan had never tried to stare at him like this without speaking. Qi Yu was deeply afraid that he might say something wrong, so he asked, but his eyes did not dare to meet Zhao Muyan's. The gaze was too hot, and he seemed to be thinking about it when he saw it. Every inch I want to say will be burned up.

"Didn't Chief Qi arrest not look in the prisoner's eyes when interrogating the prisoner?"

Zhao Muyan didn't intend to let Qi Yuxin go, she liked to see Qi Yuxin's old-fashioned expression smashed, just like now, although her expression remained calm, the color of her skin betrayed her.

Qi Yu choked for a moment, felt that she was being rude, took a breath, turned her head to look at Zhao Muyan, and saw the half-smile in the corner of her eyes, like a successful fox, a bit playful, and for a moment , she was lost again.

"The director of Qi arrest did not say anything wrong, but I just feel that the director of Qi arrest is very sweet today."

On weekdays, how could this person say such things? He is just a scumbag, and he speaks in a rigid manner. Once Zhao Muyan heard this, he knew that this person wanted something from him, but he still wanted to play tricks on her. This feeling is so interesting up.

"Uh...no...no, it's just the truth."

Qi Yu felt like a child whose mind had been punctured, and she showed an awkward smile to cover up her uneasiness. She shouldn't be doing this with Zhao Muyan. With Zhao Muyan's intelligence, how could he not see the clue.

Qi Yuxin sighed suddenly...feeling stupid...

"Get up your chopsticks!"

Seeing Qi Yu sighed, Zhao Muyan didn't intend to continue playing tricks on this person, so she asked her to pick up the chopsticks and put the vegetables on her plate as usual. She knew that this person would not dare to carry the vegetables by himself.

Qi Yuxin seemed to be used to this mode, and after saying thank you all the time, just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Zhao Muyan said, "I don't know what the director of Qi arrest likes to eat, so I can serve the director of Qi arrest like this , Is this palace lacking consideration?"

Zhao Muyan looked distressed, looked at the dishes on Qi Yuxin's plate, and then raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuxin, Qi Yuxin immediately waved his hands and said, "No, it's not...these humble ministers love to eat."

"Oh? That is to say, you like to eat the ones I made for the chief of Qi arrest?"

When Qi Yu heard it, he felt that this sentence was a bit too strange...

Saying 'yes' feels out of step...saying 'no' feels too ignorant...

That's what to say...

Chief Qi, who can speak eloquently in front of prisoners and witnesses, is now caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, very entangled...

"I like... eat, not spicy is fine."

Qi Yu nodded heartily, compared to ignorance of good and evil, this slight overstepping doesn't feel too offensive to Zhao Muyan.

The corners of Zhao Muyan's mouth rose slightly. As early as the first time he invited Qi Yuxin to have a meal, Zhao Muyan had already sent someone to investigate Qi Yuxin's taste, but this person was so boring even eating. There is no particular dislike, except that he doesn't like spicy food. However, after several observations by Zhao Muyan, this person eats sweet and sour pork ribs more often, so he has a slight preference for this dish.

"I don't know how the case of General Zhenbei is progressing?"

When Zhao Muyan ate with Tang Yuan, she adhered to the creed of not talking when eating or sleeping, but with Qi Yuxin, she didn't have this creed anymore.

As soon as Qi Yu heard about the case, the messy thoughts in Qi Yu's mind immediately came together, and they were cleared up instantly.

"These days, I have been investigating everywhere with Director Meng, and I have finally made some progress, and I also have a suspect in my mind, but I still lack an idea..."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Zhao Muyan only sensitively captured the word 'Meng Zusi', and went around to investigate...

"Director Qi and Meng have a good relationship?"

Asking the question almost without hesitation, Zhao Muyan looked up at Qi Yuxin, surrounded by words and eyes, Qi Yuxin had no way to escape this question...

She and Meng Gan were innocent and had no quarrels, but for some reason after Zhao Muyan asked, she suddenly became flustered, and immediately said: "It's just a colleague relationship."

Originally, she wanted to say more, but she knew the truth of saying too much and making mistakes, so she stopped immediately after saying a short sentence.

"Is that so...Young man, if..."

As soon as Zhao Muyan started her sentence, she felt that the base of her tongue was sore. This feeling was very bad. Just when she didn't know how to continue, Qi Yuxin immediately interrupted her.

"No, we are just colleagues, and we will only be colleagues in the future."

After saying this, Qi Yuxin glanced at Zhao Muyan tentatively, but saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Qi Yuxin didn't know why, but suddenly felt relieved...

Zhao Muyan wanted to laugh, but because of her status and the occasion, she just curled up the corners of her mouth slightly. The sourness at the base of her tongue was slightly sweet at this moment. She glanced at the meal in front of her...

What kind of magic dish is this?Can make people sour and sweet...

"Empress, this time I'm here, I actually have something to ask."

Qi Yu felt that the time was almost here, and Zhao Muyan also mentioned the case, but... the focus seemed a bit off, but it didn't prevent her from asking what she wanted to ask.

"Well, you said."

Zhao Muyan had an expected look on his face, which made Qi Yuxin feel embarrassed suddenly. Sure enough, his polite words just now were superfluous...

"My minister dares to... want to know the inside story of the promotion of the official position after the disappearance of General Zhenbei..."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Zhao Muyan raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Yuxin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little colder.

"You are so bold..."

The promotion of the official position is not a secret, but the inside story is that only some high-ranking people, or the seven-bead officials of the official department, know about it, and even a small arresting officer wants to know?

Seeing the subtle change in Zhao Muyan's expression, Qi Yu frowned, then knelt down on one knee, and said, "I know that I am not qualified to know, but this inside story is related to the case of General Zhenbei, so I dared to ask .”

When it comes to cases, Qi Yuxin is always so meticulous, and even goes forward bravely, not even afraid of Zhao Muyan's cold threats...

Interesting…

Zhao Muyan melted away the frost from the corner of his mouth, and also concealed the coldness in his eyes, saying: "Get up."

Qi Yu raised her eyes to look at Zhao Muyan, but she didn't dare to get up...

"Get up, did I tell you if I didn't tell you?"

Zhao Muyan's eyes were a little more angry, which made Qi Yu's heart suddenly tingle, her throat twitched unconsciously, and she stood up, straightened her back and looked at Zhao Muyan.

"sit."

Looking at Qi Yu's unmoved figure, Zhao Muyan smiled slightly...

idiot...

Qi Yu sat down obediently, holding her breath and waiting for Zhao Muyan's answer.

"Do you owe me another favor now?"

Qi Yuxin: "..."

it seems to be like this…

"The favors you owe me, I will write them down one by one."

Zhao Muyan smiled like a fox, but he was also a captivating fox, making people sink for a moment...

Qi Yuxin looked at Zhao Muyan's smile and listened to her words...

Suddenly, I felt like I was seeking skin from a tiger...

"I know a thing or two about this matter. The general Zhenbei disappeared back then, but the border cannot be without a general for a day. At that time, there was a lieutenant general...what's his name..."

Zhao Muyan pointed at her temples, it was a bit too long ago, she doesn't seem to remember it well...

"Is it Ling Xian?"

Qi Yuxin's heart moved, and he immediately asked, while Zhao Muyan looked at Qi Yuxin, said 'hmm' in a nasal voice, and continued: "It's Ling Xian, the deputy general recommended another deputy general who was stationed at the border at that time to temporarily act as Zhenbei. The position of general..."

"He recommended...?"

Qi Yuxin lowered her head and muttered to herself in a low voice, there were only two people in the room, Zhao Muyan's hearing was not bad, so she could hear what Qi Yuxin was saying clearly.

"It's just that as far as I know, the deputy general who temporarily took the post of General Zhenbei has mediocre ability and mediocre record. He really can't be regarded as a good general..."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yu's thoughts seemed to have found a breakthrough in a dead end...

That dead end... seems to have a very critical gap...
