"Is it...the Duke of Song who brought the juniors into the palace the day before yesterday?" Chen Qing said in a daze.

Concubine Dong Gui was amused by the other party's silly smile: "Besides him, who else in the world is Duke Guo of Song Dynasty?"

Chen Qing looked outside silently. Today's weather is particularly good, but the news is really very cold...

Death suddenly?

Tsk…..

A Tiangang warlock who could teleport several people at a moment's notice, a being who had almost reached the spiritual level, died suddenly?

Chen Qing couldn't help but take a sip of hot tea, but she felt that no matter how hot the tea was, it couldn't warm her frightened and cold heart.

After all, he is a king...

As a countryman, he had heard the name Song Guogong a lot. Judging from Wang Ye's occasional revelations about the situation in the court, Song Guogong's Liu Yu's role was even more important, and in terms of strength alone, he was probably the top of the human race.

.

But people like this will disappear if they say goodbye...

Chen Qing felt a little suffocated, and she felt like she didn't have much time left for herself...

Concubine Dong Guifei observed Chen Qing. Although the other party's face was not good-looking, she did not show too much panic, and she nodded slightly.

He is a calm boy, not bad...

"Oh, let's not talk about these scary things..." Concubine Dong Guifei looked outside: "Xue'er is here..."

"Uh?" Chen Qing was stunned and quickly looked over. The next moment, he felt rude again and quickly lowered his head and drank tea to cover up.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Dong Gui chuckled. Even though she had a lot of ambitions, she was still an inexperienced kid.

"I've met my mother-in-law!"

Princess Xiao Mingxue walked like a lady. It took almost half an hour to walk from a distance. Chen Qing felt that the tea had been finished and it was difficult to refill it, so she chewed tea leaves and played. When she heard the sound, she stood up quickly: "I've seen you before."

Your Highness the Princess."

Xiao Mingxue glanced at Chen Qing quickly, then lowered her head quickly, her face turned red and said in return: "Chen Jinshi, there is no need to be polite."

What my mother said was right. She was indeed fair and fair. Although not as good as Cui Yan, she was still handsome...

She felt relieved immediately. After receiving the news, she made some inquiries and heard that Fei Jun said that he was a very capable young man, but Fei Jun was a dull man who didn't understand the thoughts of girls at all. Being capable doesn't necessarily make him look good.

Yu Chipeng was still capable. He defeated his father and inherited the title at the age of seventeen, but he was generally considered ugly because of his appearance.

Chen Qing also glanced at the other party quickly, and her heart skipped a beat.

As a straight man, his thoughts are relatively simple and he does not think as much as the princess thinks...

So what is a good name for the child?

"Oh, the weather is so nice today!" Concubine Dong Gui stood up with a smile, touched her belly and said, "The imperial doctor said that my fetus is too big and needs to be walked around more. You guys can talk among yourselves.

."

"Concubine?" Xiao Mingxue suddenly panicked. Did the concubine intend to leave her here?

Chen Qing quickly handed over his hands and said, "Student, I would like to send you my concubine."

"It's still early, let's talk more..." Concubine Dong Gui said with a smile: "Otherwise, we won't see each other for a long time if we leave."

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard this. Oh, forget this. I'm afraid the child will have to wait for three years...

----------------------------------

The news of Liu Yu's sudden death set off a storm in the capital. No matter which camp, whether civil or military, no one expected that such a thing would happen!

After being off duty, all the civil and military officials came to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to express their condolences.

The Duke of Song Dynasty had no children. After his death, it was the royal family that handled his funeral. The ceremony was of a high standard. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was responsible for hosting the ceremony, and the other princes were responsible for entertaining the guests. Their honors can be seen as ordinary.

But such an honor still cannot suppress the coldness that Liu Yu's sudden death brought to everyone.

Outside the hall, the civil and military ministers were seated separately. The civil and military ministers, who always pinched each other when they met, were in rare harmony at this moment. They were all drinking in silence, with deep expressions on their faces.

Almost all the Jiu Qings were present, all elegant old men with white beards, but they all looked like military generals, drinking glass after glass of wine.

No one around him dared to dissuade him. Those of a lower rank did not dare to do so. Those of the same rank understood his feelings and did not want to dissuade him.

Most of the nine ministers who are now in office are well-known sorcerers from the previous dynasty. The emperor came to visit them one by one, impressed them with his charm, and invited them to come out. But in fact, they all knew that Liu Yu was the one involved.

It only took the Jin Dynasty one year to establish the new capital. Although the scale was not as grand as Tiandu, its magical structure and strength were not inferior to Tiandu, a thousand-year-old city.

Such a huge project could go so smoothly because Liu Yu persuaded a large number of warlocks to serve the royal family. It was also because of Liu Yu's methods that the Xiao family was able to rely on the power of civil servants established by the warlock group to check and balance the extremely arrogant bloodline family.

But such a man of great merit has just disappeared?

After drinking glass after glass of wine, a hot feeling came to my heart, but I still couldn't get rid of the coldness in my heart.

The general was also silent.

Most nobles from aristocratic families have extremely complicated feelings about Liu Yu. On the one hand, Liu Yu, as the only scribe and Duke, is basically the spiritual leader of the warlock group, and is used by the emperor to check and balance their bloodline families. But on the other hand, Liu Yu

When he first conquered the world, this weak warlock was on the front line, making suggestions and helping countless generals win difficult battles. He was a comrade!

This also led to the fact that even the most unruly generals could not become arrogant when facing Liu Yu, because everyone who had come into contact with Liu Yu knew his abilities, and no one did not have some admiration in their hearts.

People who wanted to encourage Qin Guogong to rebel thought Liu Yu was the biggest obstacle, but now that he was suddenly gone, those people felt empty in their hearts.

The emperor... is so cruel...

"Young Minister of Dali Temple, Wang Ye is here!"

Names were announced at the door to welcome guests, and everyone looked over.

In terms of status, Wang Ye was the most qualified to preside over Liu Yu's funeral, but the royal family did not seem to include him in the list of hosts. It did feel a bit strange that his closest disciple came to express condolences as a guest.

"Wang Shaoqing is here?" The prince in mourning clothes greeted him personally. Judging from his face, the prince's body still seemed to have not recovered and he looked very weak. However, he had been taking care of Liu Yu's posthumous affairs since yesterday.

There was no rest, everyone saw it and couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Ye bowed and saluted, his expression neither happy nor sad, just like a casual guest who came to express his condolences.

"Shaoqing, you came here right after you got off duty, right?" The prince gave Wang Ye a hand and said, "Come and put some incense."

Wang Ye nodded, and after meeting the other adults one after another, he slowly walked to the mourning hall and burned incense to worship.

Wang Ye's cold expression made many officials couldn't help but talk about it. After all, he was Song Guogong's only direct disciple. Such coldness was completely different from the prince's dedicated attitude. Song Guogong was really mistaken.

The senior official who knew a little about the inside story looked at Wang Ye with a somewhat complicated look.

Liu Yu was obviously involved in something that made the emperor jealous, so he ended up like this, but what about Wang Ye? The emperor could attack Liu Yu, so why would he keep his apprentice?

"Prefect of Liuzhou, Chen Qing has arrived!"

oh?

It was another name that attracted everyone, and many people instantly focused their attention on Wang Ye.

In the local area, a prefect is approaching the level of a feudal official, but in the capital, he is really just a low-ranking official.

Theoretically speaking, if he had no friendship with Song Guogong, this little guy named Chen Qing would not even be qualified to offer incense.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that the recent turmoil seems to have started with this young man...

"Master Chen is here too?"

The prince is still enthusiastic, and he is very courteous and courteous. Whether he is treating a minister or Chen Qing, a fourth-rank official, he treats him in a normal way, and he seems to have the magnanimity of a prince.

"By the way, didn't Mr. Chen meet the orphaned imperial sister in the palace?" The prince approached and whispered with an ambiguous smile.

I don’t know, looking at this, I thought the relationship between the two of them was very close.

Chen Qing saw an uncomfortable coldness in the other person's eyes.

I thought that I would also like to get closer to your sister, but I am not good at picking up girls. I couldn't even let out a fart after holding it in for a long time. The two of them chatted awkwardly for a while and then left quickly.

I originally wanted to leave directly, but suddenly when I was passing by North Street, I remembered that Song Guogong should be taking care of his errands, so I thought of coming over to burn incense. After all, it was a bit of a blessing.

"I am friends with Lord Wang. Now that Lord Wang's master has passed away, as a junior, it is natural for me to come and pay my respects. By the way, is His Highness the Crown Prince in good health?"

When the topic of the body was mentioned, the prince's smile that he had maintained all day suddenly broke his guard, and he looked at Chen Qing with a cold look.

Chen Qing curled her lips slightly when she saw this. Did she break her guard just like that? Her acting skills are average...

He is not afraid of this so-called prince. After all, a eunuch prince will be a ghost if he can become the emperor.

The emperor betrothed his daughter to himself, but the condition was that he would raise a son...

But the child was not raised for the stupid prince in front of him. Maybe in the old emperor's expectation, the stupid prince would make way for his grandson in the future!

I have to say...the relationship between the royal family is really messy.

Ignoring the prince anymore, Chen Qing went directly to the mourning hall. When she was offering incense, she saw Liu Yu with a calm face and eyes closed, and felt a little emotional in her heart.

This girl’s death is not worth it...

What would the old emperor think if he knew that he had given up such an arm, and the grandson he longed for in the end was someone else's?

Chen Qing had a good impression of this Song Guogong. He was a very responsible elder. When he felt that something was going to happen, he immediately sent Yu Chipeng and Fei Jun away.

In fact, he takes good care of himself. Now that he thinks about it, the reason why he took the lead to enter the Yin-Yang Road in the first place was not that he had forgotten himself. I am afraid that he knew that this Yin-Yang Road would be a dead end, so he did it so urgently that the emperor could
