It was another cold winter night. From only wearing thin shirts and suits to the season when he had to wrap himself in thick cotton clothes, Ji Chengyu still couldn't get the news of Ji Yao's return.He had already pretended to be deaf to not listen to the gossip and gossip of the court, but there were always some small noises that made his heart sore.

Qiqiao was originally a very gentle woman, she was understanding, even if Ji Chengyu didn't say anything, she could understand his thoughts.In order to deal with the government affairs, Ji Chengyu couldn't return home on time as before, and sometimes even stayed directly in the palace. Most of the time the husband and wife spent together was suddenly deprived of by state affairs, and it was already a day or two not seeing each other. usually.Ji Chengyu was not used to it, but his thoughts were full of busy affairs, and sometimes he didn't have time to think about Qiqiao, or Qiqiao's feelings.

Occasionally, when the little eunuch came to deliver some pastries for him to take a rest, he would take the time to think about whether this would be a little sorry for Qiqiao.Ever since Eunuch Xia said something that provoked his relationship with Ji Yao in front of him last time, Ji Chengyu has hated Eunuch Xia very much. Eunuch Xia cannot be trusted by him, but he is a eunuch with the palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies, and Ji Yao is not around. He couldn't be such a big master, so he was sent away a few days ago to supervise the construction of a palace. It was the newly built Queen's Palace that Ji Yao wanted to give to Wu Shen. Before he left, he specially entrusted Ji Chengyu to pay more attention to it. all at once.

Xiao Linzi is a clever little boy newly transferred. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he is very good at reading people's eyes. Ji Chengyu can serve well and walk around more. Come back and talk about the situation outside for Ji Chengyu.

Every night, Xiaolinzi will deliver the soup cup to Ji Chengyu in the side study on time. Qiqiao can not only make a beautiful cup of tea, but also cook a pot of soup that warms the stomach and heart. Ji Chengyu holds it warm It's like being able to hug Qiqiao's soft and boneless waist.

It's just that a quarter of today has passed, and Xiao Linzi still hasn't appeared, nor has the soup cup.Ji Chengyu was a little anxious, at this point, let alone his heart was about to fly to Qiqiao, his stomach was used to waiting for a bowl of hot soup to be poured.Ji Chengyu turned the brush upside down and tapped on the table, frowning, and was about to call someone to ask what happened, but Xiao Linzi suddenly stepped in from the outside and knelt down in front of him.

"My lord! It's not good, Bei Xiao Wang Jianxing has escaped from the dungeon!"

Ji Chengyu's eyes widened and he stood up from the chair, pointed at Xiao Linzi, and shouted sharply, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

"She injured the guards in the dungeon, and the elite soldiers outside were all drugged for some reason!"

Ji Chengyu gasped, the elite soldiers fell, this!Jian Xing stayed in the cold and humid sky prison for so long, and her body was able to bear it. The food in the prison was not good, and she could not avoid the occasional punishment of whipping. The elite company?This Jianxing!Terrible!

Turning his mind and thinking for a while, Ji Chengyu pulled up the robe that was put aside, and shouted at Xiao Linzi as he walked out, "Quick! Get someone to guard the imperial garden! Prepare the sedan chair!"

Xiao Linzi nodded again and again, yes, he turned around and hurried to inform the imperial guards, but no one noticed that his footsteps were much lighter and faster than ordinary eunuchs and maids.

When Ji Chengyu arrived at the imperial garden, the forbidden army had already surrounded the imperial garden with three floors inside and three floors outside. Xiao Linzi opened a way for Ji Chengyu, broke through the mighty imperial army in uniform, and entered the innermost part.Looking at Jian Xing who was tied up and put on the neck with a sharp knife, Ji Chengyu couldn't tell what it was like, and pointed to the two women in black beside her, "What, your helper?" He glanced at Ye'er, who was dressed in an ordinary court lady's attire.

Naturally, Ji Chengyu, who temporarily rebelled when he was forced into the palace, couldn't be happy with Jian Xing. If Ji Chengyu was on his side, then there would be so many messes going on with a hundred thousand troops.Ji Chengyu could imagine what she was thinking by looking at her sullen expression. She was a little annoyed and amused that her mind was so simple, "Jian Xing, you rebelled again and again, what exactly do you want? The last time was The emperor wants to keep you because of his love in the past, I am afraid it will not be so simple this time."

Jian Xing kept silent, she was feeling depressed, if Ye'er hadn't come out to stop her, she wouldn't be here now without stealing the other fate stone, and was caught by Ji Chengyu.She obviously arranged everything perfectly, and those two women in black were her bodyguards, but Ye'er!It happened to be her, who received the news from nowhere, and somehow escaped from the palace under house arrest, and insisted on stopping her.However, Ye'er is also a piece of soft flesh in her heart, she can't move, if she moves, she will hurt.

Ji Chengyu snorted softly, whispered a few words to Xiao Linzi, and ordered the palace servants who let Ye'er out be dragged out and beheaded.

"Jian Xing, what is your purpose?" Ji Chengyu has been in the palace for a while, and he is not too clear why Jian Xing is desperate for this stone, but since Ji Yao ordered to protect this stone, he will naturally do his best Take care.

Jian Xing acted as if he didn't want to talk too much and was just waiting to die. Ji Chengyu was a little annoyed, pushed away a group of guards, walked up to Jian Xing, leaned forward, "Jian Xing, think about our past friendship, if you have No matter what difficulties, the Ji family will definitely help you. But if you keep resisting like this, don't blame me..." Knowing that it is useless to threaten Jian Xing's life, she was already waiting to die, but if Is the other person going to die?Ji Chengyu's eyes slowly moved to Ye Er who was beside him.

Ye'er, who broke in, was not as concisely dressed as the two black-clothed women arranged by Jian Xing in advance. She still had the arrogance she had when she was the chief court lady serving Ji Yao, and she was dressed in the costume of a court lady. Quite gorgeous, but the posture is a bit awkward, with his hands tied behind his back by the guards.

After understanding Ji Chengyu's eyes, Jian Xing finally reacted, "No, you are not allowed! Ji Chengyu, you are not allowed to move Ye'er!"

Ji Chengyu walked around Ye'er and came back, straightened up, "Then, tell me."

"Say, say what?"

"Your purpose." Ji Chengyu was a little impatient. He is a political man, managing the country on behalf of Ji Yao, and there are still a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with. He doesn't have so much time to go around with Jian Xing.

Jian Xing sighed, "Isn't my purpose obvious? It's this stone, Ji Chengyu, are you blind?"

"Jian Xing, don't talk to me! You clearly know what this king is asking!"

"Ji Chengyu, what do you want to know?" Jian Xing moved his arm, and glared at the guard who pinched her back, "Just catch me and kill me, and you Nanling will never threaten again. What good does it do you to know that much?"

"Jian Xing, you should know that we brothers and sisters have been curious about everything since we were young." Ji Chengyu grinned, he knew that Jian Xing was a little loose.

"Hehe, yes." Jian Xing's eyes drifted, "That's why Ji Jingtan ran away curiously, isn't it?"

Ji Chengyu gave her a hard look, "Jian Xing!" She almost slipped her tongue, the people in the palace didn't know that Ji Yao was out of the palace, but naively thought that Ji Yao was recovering from illness in the harem, and in a few days it would be over. Can heal and come back.

"What? How long do you think you can hide it?"

The imperial guards behind Ji Chengyu whispered a little, and his sharp eyes were cast back, and the whole imperial garden immediately became quiet again.Almost got caught.Ji Chengyu took a breath, stepped in front of Ye'er, pinched Ye'er's neck with his right hand, "Jian Xing, I hate threatening others the most in my life, but it's a pity you forced it!" For the sake of the Nanling royal family, how could he? In this way, the opportunity to find out the truth was let go.

"Ji Chengyu! Let go of Ye'er!" Jian Xing tried hard to break free from the rope, but unfortunately her hands were not only tightly bound by the rope, but also two tall guards of the Imperial Guard were pressing her shoulders, She couldn't move at all.

Ji Chengyu looked at Jian Xing's mouth opening and closing but always being unable to say anything, dismissed the guards around him, and made them retreat a few feet away, and then approached Jian Xing with Ye'er in one hand, "Let me Wang Lai, guess what you were arrested for?"

This question is exactly the same as what Ji Yao asked at the beginning. Unfortunately, Jian Xing's attitude is not as firm as before. The linen vest that belongs to the family has been blown by the cold wind in the winter night for so long at this moment, the lips have turned purple from the cold, and the whole body has turned blue.The women in black on both sides were a little anxious, afraid that Jian Xing would say everything when he got excited, but Jian Xing looked at Ye Er's expression again, she was signaling with her eyes, encouraging herself.

"Cheng Yu, my mother... My mother was arrested by Min Shuqing... the old thief!" Jian Xing had tears in his eyes, his vision was blurred, and his words were choked with sobs.

Ji Chengyu's eyes widened, "Jian Xing, you, please speak carefully, what's the matter?" Jian Xing's mother, the Queen Mother Renshun, met once when Ji Chengyu and Ji Yao were young, when they came to court in Northern Xiao Kingdom.In Ji Chengyu's memory, she is a gentle and kind woman just like the Queen Mother.In this way, the Empress Dowager Renshun was the reason why Jian Xing was caught, then Ronghao Villa wanted the stone and forced Jian Xing to steal it.It's a pity that they didn't know that Ji Yao had expected this before them, and ordered Ji Chengyu to put a fake stone here to cover people's eyes.Ji Chengyu was a little proud, or rather proud, that his sister's skillful planning allowed Nanling to survive the catastrophe safely.

"Cheng Yu, forced the palace, no...it's not my fault! It's Min Shuqing, it's all Min Shuqing!"

Ji Chengyu naturally knew who Min Shuqing was, and he was surprised when he heard that this matter involved the previous rebellion in the North Xiao Kingdom. He was afraid that the guards around him would hear something, so he quickly raised his index finger, "Don't say it yet!" Then he looked around for a while. He circled around, waved his hand, and ordered the imperial army to escort Jian Xing to his side study. Xiao Linzi had sharp eyes and saw the situation from a distance. He prepared the sedan chair for Ji Chengyu, and a large number of people quickly moved back to the side. study.
