Yu Qiansi was not afraid at all, and looked proud, just like that time in the Star Reaching Tower.
This is the truest appearance of the emperor now.
He is no longer the young child she once pitied, who spent the whole day in fear in the dark night, nor is he a dispensable decoration in the court behind the throne.
"If your majesty ordered me to go and tell the young prince that Su Niang was going to stay, I would naturally not dare to resist. But even the foolish king of the previous dynasty would not ignore the wishes of his courtiers and act arbitrarily. Before Su Niang's identity is unknown, he will never
Do not follow the holy chariot."
Boyi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Jiang Jiqing in front of him, and was startled for a moment, as if he saw the indistinguishable emperor on the throne ten years ago. Their eyebrows gradually overlapped, which made him feel sticky in his heart.
Discomfort.
"Your Majesty, I would like to stay in the Seven Buddhas City to protect Su Niang. After Su Niang's identity is thoroughly investigated, I will take Su Niang to the imperial mausoleum." Boyi bowed and asked for orders.
But Jiang Qing was unmoved.
Boyi's heart gradually sank. Silence meant rejection. Jiang Jiqing thought that he had classified himself as a faction of the Duke of Qi. By classifying him like this, did he simply not trust himself? Or did he not trust the Feng family?
The twilight is dull and lazy, tired of this stalemate and drama, and slowly covers everything with darkness, no longer paying attention to it.
Deming walked over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Guo has been asked to see you."
Jiang Jiqing withdrew his gaze and looked at the increasingly bright lights of Wanjia. Guo Xinyi usually had some unclear relations with the Duke of Qi and the Cheng family's old party, and was wavering. He was the slipperiest old fox. At this time, he came
Looking for myself, I think my goal today has been achieved.
He smiled lazily, raised his hand casually, and said, "Xuan."
When Deming took the order and left, Jiang Jiqing ordered Boyi to get up, but did not order the two of them to stay away.
Boyi had no choice but to take a few steps back and stand with Yu Qiansi.
Jiang Jiqing turned around and didn't look at the two of them. He only tilted his head and stared at the corner of the stairs. Yu Qiansi couldn't see his expression, but felt that his back looked comfortable. He looked like a satiated vicious dog.
Lazy and basking in the moonlight.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty."
After a few simple and polite courtesies, Guo Xinyi went straight to the point: "Just now, the young prince summoned me to discuss how to place the girl in the family. Now there are still a few details that need to be discussed with His Majesty."
Jiang Jiqing smiled sarcastically when Guo Xinyi leaned over.
Sure enough, he is an old fox. He clearly accepted Wang Song's favor and became a peacemaker, but he still did not forget to secretly praise Wang Song in his words. No one can be offended.
Yu Qiansi's casual smile suddenly turned cold, and she raised her head and stared at the back of the emperor in regular clothes.
Jiang Jiqing didn't know if he noticed the eyes behind him, so he turned his head and pointedly said: "I know that my cousin must be a compassionate person."
Guo Xinyi only said that "love the fragrance and cherish the jade" was referring to the peasant girl, and did not dare to comment at all, so she casually mumbled it.
Yu Qiansi closed her eyes. If she didn't know that she had fallen into the trap now, she would be hopelessly stupid. She smiled to herself, curtly saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
He turned around and left without even making an excuse. When Boyi saw this, he didn't care about anything else. He bowed absently and chased Yu Qiansi downstairs.
He looked at the angry figure running aimlessly in the night, and his heart was full of pity.
It took a lot of effort to catch up with her. Seeing that Yu Qiansi was trying to avoid her, he had no choice but to grab her arm, but he didn't dare to use force: "Aru, it's not worth being angry with him."
Yu Qiansi looked at the bright eyes staring at her in the dark night. She felt tired for no reason and slowly slumped her shoulders.
"I originally thought that he knew who I was. If I pretended not to know the purpose behind his trip and pretended to be moved by the past, he would be even more suspicious of the young master's intentions. That's why I deliberately contradicted him.
It can be considered as a breath of evil."
But she didn't expect that when she went to see Jiang Jiqing, the outcome was already decided.
No matter how this meeting goes, the young master will definitely take the initiative and ask Su Niang to accompany him.
Yu Qiansi felt unprecedentedly powerless and frustrated.
She had obviously been studying hard and calculating, but in the end, she still became a chess piece in the hands of the emperor.
Only then did she realize how ignorant and ridiculous she was, who had previously dismissed the court's calculations.
She thought that everything in the Criminal Division was obtained by her own intelligence, but now she understands that without the support of the big tree of Qi Guogong Mansion, she would not be able to use all her abilities.
"Looking on the bright side, you finally used your bad breath. It's better than finding out all this after you pretended to flatter me." Boyi covered up the pity in his heart and smiled to explain.
"Don't worry, I will pay more attention to Su Niang along the way."
The few simple words she said today show that she has a lot of thoughts on her mind, and they are all about court matters. She must have had a very bad life these ten days.
But Yu Qiansi shook his head and disapproved: "You were trained in the northwest and fought against the enemy. You should know better than me what the wind and the crane can do to those who are facing battle."
Now Su Niang is just a cause for worry. No matter whether this person really has a problem or not, they have to be vigilant at all times. If things go on like this, even the toughest people can't stand it.
Jiang Jiqing was still young. Even if he broke his skin today, he still had to rely on the Duke of Qi to balance the forces for the time being. Jiang Jiqing also understood the truth, so he dared to let himself argue with him. The threat here could be
Put it aside for now.
"I don't like to be passive." Only by knowing the purpose of the people in the dark can we be prepared ahead of these people and wait for work.
Yu Qiansi looked at Boyi, how she should deal with it all depends on Boyi's trip.
Boyi also thought of this. He was busy with things today, and finally had a moment for the two of them to be alone. He looked around and then said seriously: "Let's find a place to talk first."
"You mean, the Feng family has really lost someone?" Yu Qian caressed Yuli Qiankun, not forgetting to observe the surroundings.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting on the roof of the Main Hall of the Seven Buddhas Temple. The view from here was vast, and the monks in the temple were temporarily detained. With the sky as a curtain, it was actually a good place to chat about secret matters.
What Boyi told her was not much different from what he told the young master before. However, there was naturally no part about him secretly following the thief and fighting with the thief.
"I think just like you, there must be some kind of agreement between the Feng family and a more secretive force. What purpose must they have for them to come out and mess up the situation when the adoptive father is making a deal with His Majesty."
Having said this, Boyi paused and said hesitantly: "Aru, I didn't know the Feng family's plan in advance. I only noticed something unusual when I suddenly saw people from the Feng family appearing in the side alley. Can you trust me...
