The Queen's Secret

"After Ling Xian recommended this lieutenant general, he ran to General Zhennan to handle errands. The reason was to leave the sad place."

Zhao Muyan picked up the teacup with three fingers, brought it to his lips and took a sip, as if he was tasting the tea, but his eyes fell on Qi Yuxin in a daze, as if he was tasting someone.

After Qi Yu thought about it for a while, he roughly understood the matter, and then said: "Dare to ask the empress, if the deputy general who temporarily acts as the general of Zhenbei is replaced, who is more qualified and has the opportunity to take this position?" ?”

Zhao Muyan didn't answer right away, but tapped the table with his index finger time after time, like Qi Yu's heartbeat, but Qi Yuxin began to realize that the frequency of beating could no longer keep up with his own heartbeat...

"I understand. It's just that I still need to use some means to learn from the officials."

It meant that Zhao Muyan didn't know the situation at the moment, but if he did it himself, or asked Tang Yuan to do it himself, it would not be difficult to know this little thing.

"Thank you, empress."

Qi Yu sincerely thanked Zhao Muyan. Without Zhao Muyan's relationship, it would be difficult for him to get the inside information even if he went to the official department to wear his mouth. Maybe he would need more time and means to get the news, but if he passed Zhao Muyan, all problems will become much simpler.

"Um…"

The corner of Zhao Muyan's mouth curled up into a smile, which meant something unknown, but it made Qi Yu's heart tremble slightly. She always felt that things were not easy, so she had to lower her head and continue eating to cover up her unnaturalness...

She didn't dare to guess Zhao Muyan's thoughts, she had never been able to figure out her thoughts, but she felt that the more she owed Zhao Muyan, the harder it would be for her to escape in the future. .

"Qi arrest the director, but remember, you owe me a lot of favors."

The corners of Zhao Muyan's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and when he raised his hands and raised his eyebrows and eyes, there were all kinds of amorous feelings. Qi Yuxin didn't notice it at all, and his hand holding the chopsticks became tighter and tighter, and his fingertips began to turn white.

"Hmm... Weichen remembers."

Qi Yu agreed with a nod in her heart, she was really getting deeper and deeper, she could only pray that Zhao Muyan would not cause any problems for her, otherwise, she would not know what to do if her principles were broken.

After the conversation was over, after the two of them finished their meal, Qi Yuxin put down his chopsticks, looked up at Zhao Muyan, and thought about what to say before he could find an excuse to leave.

"today…"

As soon as Qi Yuxin said two words, Zhao Muyan cut off her words and said, "I had a great meal today, you should go back first, you must be tired too!"

Zhao Muyan's tone was calm, without the warmth of concern, nor the formulaic coldness, it was flat and indifferent, unable to hear the thoughts, which seemed to be a bit out of tune with the curvature of her mouth.

"Okay, thank you Empress for your hospitality, I will take my leave first."

Qi Yu stood up heartily, bowed to Zhao Muyan, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind the screen, Zhao Muyan let out a long and soft breath.

Is it just... colleagues?

The corner of Zhao Muyan's mouth curled into a smile, but he suddenly realized that he seemed to care too much about Qi Yuxin, so the smile immediately froze on his lips. For a moment, his mood was complicated...

And you?It's not bad for Qi Yuxin, right?

You thought I was you?

What's the shame in liking women?

No shame, it's just that it doesn't happen to me.

Be careful slapping your face.

The conversation with Tang Yirou was like a magic voice lingering in his ears, Zhao Muyan felt annoyed for a while, and the good mood just now was swept away like this...

It's just... Looking at the chopsticks and bowls and chopsticks that Qi Yuxin used just now, the corners of Zhao Muyan's mouth turned up unconsciously.

But... this person is indeed... quite interesting...

Zhao Muyan sighed... the meaning is unclear...

After Qi Yuxin returned to the old case room, she took a good record of what Zhao Muyan said to her just now, and prepared to discuss it with Lin Qingxuan and Meng Gan the next day.

After Qi Yuxin finished washing, it was already midnight. She lay on the bed with her hands on the back of her head, thinking about today's events, in a daze...

Suddenly, the image in his mind changed from Ling Xian to Zhao Muyan. Those frowns and smiles made people unable to move their eyes away, like a whirlpool, attracting people little by little, but people never noticed...

Qi Yu shook her head heartily, trying to get Zhao Muyan's appearance out of her mind, she turned her body sideways, closed her eyes, and stopped thinking about it, she had very little rest these days, if she continued like this, she was afraid that her body would be destroyed by herself. overdraft.

The next day, Qi Yu was restless. Even though she fell asleep, her dreams were broken all night. She got up early in the morning and her head was a little groggy. She dressed up and went to the old case room, and Lin Qingxuan arrived soon. The old case room.

"Morning!"

Lin Qingxuan said hello, Qi Yu nodded heartily, and said with a smile, "Yes, good morning."

Qi Yu didn't know how pale she looked now, but when Lin Qingxuan looked at her and frowned, Qi Yu knew that her complexion was probably not good.

"Yu Xin, you..."

Before Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, Qi Yuxin widened the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm fine, I learned something yesterday, and I want to analyze it with you."

Lin Qingxuan frowned slightly, knowing that Qi Yu didn't want to worry about himself, so he suppressed the discomfort, and he was even more worried than before.

"Well, Yuxin, tell me."

Lin Qingxuan knew that if Qi Yu didn't want to talk about something, he wouldn't be able to pry her mouth away, so he put aside her physical problems for the time being.

"After General Zhenbei disappeared, Ling Xian recommended another lieutenant general in the north to temporarily take the position of General Zhenbei, and he himself went to General Zhennan, but he heard that the lieutenant general was not a good general, with mediocre record and mediocre ability. "

Lin Qingxuan nodded, frowning slightly, waiting for Qi Yuxin to continue.

"I think there are three reasons to prove that this deputy general has nothing to do with the killing of General Zhenbei. What can you think of?"

Qi Yuxin actually wanted to see if Lin Qingxuan could think of what he thought of.

"The deputy general and Ling Xian are on an equal footing, without any power to suppress, and Ling Xian's ability is higher than that of the deputy general, so he shouldn't take orders from him. This is one of them."

After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, seeing Qi Yu's heart nodding, she continued: "Ling Xian went to General Zhennan afterward. Obviously, if they conspired together, both of them should benefit, but Ling Xian didn't get anything. This is the second. .”

Qi Yu nodded heartily, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, which was a little more reassuring and satisfied.

"Well, you're right... And the third thing is that Ling Xian is meticulous, so there shouldn't be any excuses in the hands of the deputy general, and he was forced to kill General Zhenbei."

Qi Yu took a deep breath and said, "So, first of all, we can rule out that the deputy general participated in the killing of General Zhenbei, and Ling Xian still has the biggest suspicion, and I'm still waiting for a news."

"what news?"

Lin Qingxuan asked, while Qi Yuxin frowned lightly, apparently asking Zhao Muyan to do something for her would cost a lot, thinking of this, she felt a little annoyed.

"I asked the empress to help me find out, if the deputy general who temporarily acted as the general of Zhenbei was pulled down, who would have a better chance of getting this position."

Lin Qingxuan nodded, and immediately understood the meaning of Qi Yu's words.

If it is said that Ling Xian could get this position in the end, it is obvious that he recommended this lieutenant general at that time with his own thoughts. He first kept himself out of the matter, and then came back five years later. He can afford it, and if he waits, he will be able to become the general of Zhenbei.

Unexpectedly, the body of General Zhenbei was discovered, and it happened at this juncture...

"We can't detain Ling Xian for too long. I hope Meng Gan can get news soon."

Qi Yu covered her head with her heart, and there was a sudden pain in her temple, like a needle being pricked, or a hammer being hammered, and she almost wanted to vomit.

"Yu Xin, you can rest for a while, this matter can't be rushed for a moment."

Lin Qingxuan pulled Qi Yuxin's hand, and his worried eyes fell on Qi Yuxin, but Qi Yuxin smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Maybe this matter has a lot to do with it. Qi Yuxin did put a lot of pressure on himself, so that his body was gradually being crushed by him.

"No, you're like this. You've already collapsed before the murderer is found. I'll go to the small kitchen and ask them to cook some medicinal food. You should take a good sleep now. Anyway, no one comes to this old case room."

When Qi Yu heard this, he wanted to say something to refuse, but when he saw Lin Qingxuan frowning, he was clearly warning her that if she dared to say the word 'no', she would be angry, so Qi Yu suddenly wanted to say something. The words were swallowed back.

"it is good…"

Qi Yu complied, feeling warm in his heart. This was the first time that he was taken care of like this. He suddenly felt grateful to the person who transferred him to the old case room. Because of that person, he was able to know such a good woman as Lin Qingxuan. .

"You promised me, you lie down and sleep for a while!"

Lin Qingxuan pointed at Qi Yuxin, and Qi Yuxin had no choice but to nod her head, expressing her agreement. Lin Qingxuan turned around, walked a few steps, and said, "Remember to sleep for a while, and wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Lin Qingxuan hurriedly left the old case room.

Qi Yuxin's head was indeed a little dizzy, and it seemed to weigh a thousand catties. It was the first time that she let herself rest during office hours. She slowly lay down on the table and closed her eyes. Maybe she was too tired. , she fell asleep, not sleeping soundly, but at least got a moment of rest...

Not long after Lin Qingxuan left, a big person ushered in the old case room. She originally wanted to let Li'er deliver the letter to Qi Yuxin, but after thinking about it, she felt uneasy, so she delivered the letter herself. She came over, but she walked to the door, when Lier was about to knock on the door, she looked up and saw Qi Yuxin who was sleeping on the table, so she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at Qi Yuxin. Zhao Muyan.

Seeing Li'er's dilemma, Zhao Muyan took a step forward curiously, and also looked at the situation inside, and found that it was extremely quiet inside, while Qi Yu was sleeping on the table with his heart bent, and his face was facing the door, which Zhao Muyan saw. clear.

The corners of Zhao Muyan's mouth rose slightly, and he was still teasing that this meticulous and rigid Qi Yuxin would be lazy, but when he took a closer look, he found that the man's face was extremely pale, and there was a trace of unusual blush on his face...

The smile on Zhao Muyan's mouth gradually disappeared, and his brows slowly knit together...
