Ji Qi, who was sitting in the Mingzhao Hall, still looked the same as before.
Sitting upright with his eyebrows downcast, it was difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
The majesty of the emperor was fully revealed at this moment.
Li Danqing stood in the audience very obediently, without the slightest bit of wantonness that he usually does.
"I heard that the imperial sister and Li Aiqing solved the Green Ghost case yesterday and recovered the secret letter sent from Bailong Mountain." Ji Qi's voice sounded at that time, and the deep voice echoed softly in the palace door.
Li Danqing stood there silently. Concubine Ji glanced at him and guessed what he was thinking. She didn't tell him anything, so she bowed her hands to Ji Qi and said, "I have the emperor's order to go there."
Xilu City thoroughly investigated the matter, and fortunately, they fulfilled their orders and recovered the lost property for the imperial brother."
As Master Ji said this, she took out the jade box from her arms, walked forward, and presented the jade box respectfully.
Li Danqing was keenly aware that Ji Qi's hand trembled slightly when he took the jade box.
But this abnormality only passed away in a flash, and soon he silently handed the jade box to Lin Bai beside him. Lin Bai took it and put it away carefully.
After finishing this, Ji Qi looked at Li Danqing and Master Ji in the audience.
I don't know if it was Li Danqing's illusion, but Li Danqing clearly felt that Ji Qi's eyes seemed to stay on him longer.
"Tell me how you got this thing back." Ji Qi's voice sounded.
Li Danqing turned his head to look at Master Ji and blinked hard at her.
According to the previous agreement between the two, Master Ji should hide the matter about the Green Ghost tribe and only say that they found the group of thieves and annihilated them all, and the so-called Green Ghost tattoo was only used by the group of thieves to confuse the public.
Suspicious tactics.
As for the life and death of Prime Minister Ying, of course he never mentioned it.
This statement can simplify things firstly and avoid adding too many extraneous things. Secondly, it is also afraid of involving too much. Under careful investigation by the court, Li Danqing's own secrets that are not visible to the public will be exposed.
Concubine Ji had already done this kind of thing for Li Danqing once before after the incident in Huaji City.
This time, Prince Li was relieved at first, but after all, it was a matter related to his own life. In addition, Master Ji's slightly ambiguous attitude in front of Mingzhao Palace just now made Prince Li feel a little uneasy at this moment.
Master Ji felt Li Danqing's worry and felt somewhat unhappy.
I secretly thought that this guy still didn’t trust me after all...
Just thinking of this made Her Royal Highness feel quite unhappy.
However, although she was angry, she could not bring herself to harm Li Danqing. At that time, she gathered her mood and prepared to relay the matter to Ji Qi according to the words agreed with Li Danqing.
But the moment she opened her mouth.
"Let me tell you!"
A voice suddenly came from outside Mingzhao Hall.
The voice sounded familiar. Li Danqing and Master Ji were both stunned and looked back.
I saw a middle-aged man striding into the Mingzhao Hall at that time.
The moment they saw each other clearly, Li Danqing and Master Ji's pupils suddenly dilated, and their faces were filled with horror for a moment, as if they had seen the most incredible scene in the world.
The person who came was surprisingly Mr. Ying Xiangjun who should have died in the other world!
As if sensing the strange looks from the two of them, Ying Xiangjun just nodded and smiled at the two of them, then walked straight to the hall and bowed to Ji Qi.
Ji Qi naturally saw the look of horror on the faces of Master Ji and Li Danqing at that moment, but he did not point it out. Instead, he looked at Ying Xiangjun under him with a playful expression and asked: "Oh? This
Is Aiqing Ying also involved?"
Prime Minister Ying cupped his hands: "I happened to be present when the thief was captured yesterday, but I underestimated the enemy too much and fell into danger. Fortunately, Prince Li and the eldest princess arrived in time and saved my subordinates.
Life."
"Is that so?" Ji Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at Master Ji and Li Danqing and asked.
Li Danqing and Master Ji were silent.
Ji Qi did not urge him, but instead looked at Ying Xiangjun in the audience and said: "Since Aiqing also knows the whole story, why not let Aiqing tell you how you got this secret letter back?
"
"Yes." Ying Xiangjun cupped his hands, and then said: "Although I had a dispute with the Crown Prince about the Green Ghost Case the day before yesterday, after thinking about it afterwards, I also felt that what the Crown Prince said was reasonable, so I took the people with me.
I went to Baihe Village, but I didn’t want to be ambushed by a group of leaders, and I was in danger. The prince and the eldest princess arrived in time, and I joined forces with the two of them to repel the thieves and retrieve His Majesty’s lost property.”
"This matter depends entirely on the prince's wit, otherwise the lost property cannot be recovered, and the life of the minister may even be handed over there. This matter should be the first contribution of the prince and the eldest princess. I also ask your majesty to reward you according to your merits.
.”
After Ying Xiangjun finished speaking, the playful look on Ji Qi's eyebrows became even more intense.
He did not respond, but looked at Li Danqing and Master Ji, and asked, "Do you two have anything to add?"
Concubine Ji frowned and almost couldn't help but step forward, but just as she took a step forward, she was grabbed by the corner of her clothes by Li Danqing.
"Master Ying, you are so polite. Without the cooperation of Master Ying and the eldest princess, it would be difficult for Wei Chen to repel the thieves with his meager cultivation. How dare he make false claims about his first contribution? Besides, it is Wei Chen's duty to share His Majesty's worries. I don't dare to expect anything.
It’s a matter of reward based on merit.” Li Danqing hurriedly said at that time.
Ji Qi's face paled after hearing this, and then he laughed: "Haha, you are getting better and better at talking."
"Okay, then I will write down the credit for this. Rewards are indispensable. The three of you worked very hard yesterday, so we will go back to rest. Later, I will discuss the merits and reward you!" Ji Qi surprisingly did not continue to ask.
Go down.
At that time, Li Danqing breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Ji Shifei and Ying Xiangjun, they bid farewell to Ji Qi and then left Mingzhao Hall.
…
On the way out of the palace, the three of them were quite silent.
Li Danqing and Master Ji both stared at Xiangjun Ying with alert expressions, but Xiangjun Ying walked in front of them quite calmly, as if he didn't notice anything strange about them at all.
The three of them walked all the way except Shenyu Palace.
When the Imperial Guards were gone, Concubine Ji's brows turned cold, she looked at Prime Minister Ying and asked, "Who are you?"
Ying Xiangjun, who was walking in front, paused when he heard this. He turned back to look at Master Ji. He raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Elder Princess, what does this mean? We met you at the New Year's Eve last year. Why?"
Suddenly you don’t recognize me? In just over half a year, have you changed so much?"
"Ying Xiangjun clearly died yesterday! Who are you? I have no intention of talking nonsense with you!" Master Ji stepped forward and said so, with a frown between her eyebrows.
The murderous intention is even worse.
But Xiangjun Ying blinked and asked, "I'm dead? Did the eldest princess see it with her own eyes?"
This question made Master Ji stunned. When she arrived yesterday, Ying Xiangjun had been possessed by the extremely evil sword spirit, and his whole body was covered with black pus. She only knew the other party's identity from his body shape and Li Danqing's mouth.
, Master Ji had no doubts about this.
The other party's question at this moment really made it difficult for Master Ji to respond. She turned her head and looked at Li Danqing.
But seeing an embarrassed look on Li Danqing's face, he scratched his head and said: "Maybe... maybe I saw it wrong..."
Concubine Ji's eyes were widened at that time, and she stared at Li Danqing in disbelief.
And the next moment, something happened that caught Li Danqing off guard...
The eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had always been cold-faced, turned a little red at that time.
This appearance caught Li Shizi off guard.
Master Ji is a very smart person. Although sometimes her judgment is abnormal in some aspects due to her lack of experience in the world, most of the time she is very sharp.
At this moment, it was not difficult for her to see that Li Danqing intended to kill this unknown Ying Xiangjun who was pretending to be him.
As for what purpose this guy had, Li Danqing didn't even mention a word.
From the very beginning when she helped Li Danqing conceal the matter of the extremely evil sword, to later when she helped him obtain the White Dragon Sword Intent, she had actually done enough, and she was willing to help her conceal even things in the other world.
In fact, she has done enough.
She is the eldest princess of Wuyang Dynasty!
Li Danqing never considered her position.
The old ministers of the former dynasty, the Palace of Eternal Life, the inner world, the survivors of the former dynasty!
All these are disasters for the Wuyang Dynasty, and they are all things that can shake the foundation of the Wuyang Dynasty.
But she hid it all.
But at this moment, Li Danqing still didn't trust her, let alone understand her.
At that moment, Master Ji felt a little aggrieved in her heart.
Li Danqing was obviously unable to cope with the situation in front of him, and was at a loss for a while.
But such an expression only existed on Master Ji's face for a moment. She took a deep breath and returned to her original state the next moment.
Then she glanced coldly at Li Danqing, who wanted to protect Ying Xiangjun, and just said: "I hope that one day in the future, Prince Li will not make me regret my decision today."
After saying these words, Her Royal Highness the Princess turned around decisively and left without looking back.
Li Danqing heard the underlying meaning of her words clearly. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He could only look at the other person's leaving back with a wry smile. After a while,
After Master Ji walked away, Li Danqing sighed.
Then he turned to look at Ying Xiangjun who was standing aside, his face darkened, and he said helplessly: "What is your purpose this time?"
Ying Xiangjun's body was constantly changing and twisting at this moment, and after a few breaths, he transformed into the appearance of a charming woman, who was clearly the master of the Yin Palace - Yu Qinghuan.
She blinked at Li Danqing with great grievance and said, "Master, what are you talking about?"
"The slave family has always done things to help the young master. If there is really any purpose, it is to please the young master..."
