Chapter 24

Pingwu could feel that You Ning's patience had been exhausted recently, and she needed to mention Prime Minister Qi appropriately to warn You Ning not to forget her identity.

"Pingwu, you are so loyal to His Majesty, I wonder how His Majesty will treat you in the end?"

Ping Wu is not much older than You Ning. At such an age, he can gain such trust from the Emperor of Chu. It seems that he has been raised by his side since he was a child. However, His Majesty is ruthless, and any chess piece that is useless to him will not end well. , I wonder what the emperor will do with Pingwu when it becomes useless. Will Pingwu regret that he paid so much?

"Your Majesty is in the imperial study?"

"Yes."

Since they want a military deployment map, You Ning will help them get it. Rather than being sneaky, it's better to be upright.

"I will go there by myself, and you will guard in the palace."

After many months, You Ning went to the Imperial Study Room again. The last time she came to the Imperial Study Room, she offended Xu Yanjin, but how could it be the same at that time? Now Xu Yanjin can be said to be obedient to her, why would she care about her going to the Imperial Study Room? Take a walk around the study.

Xu Yanjin was still reading the memorials. There seemed to be no end to the pile of memorials every day, and he couldn't finish them no matter how he read them. The things he wrote seemed to be the same. Xu Yanjin's temper became more and more irritable as he read these things repeatedly.

Just before Xu Yanjin broke out, Li An saw Qi Youning coming, and reminded Xu Yanjin, "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Xu Yanjin put the memorial in his hand aside, got up and came to Youning's side, "Why didn't you take a good rest?"

"Your Majesty is busy with court affairs every day, so you don't have time to visit your concubine. The concubine misses your majesty, so you can only come to your majesty. Does your majesty blame the concubine?"

"In this palace, there is no place Ning Ning can't go to."

You Ning walked to the desk, picked up a memorial, and You Ning didn't quite understand what was written on it, so after a few glances, he threw it aside.

She wanted to use the memorial to see Xu Yanjin's attitude and whether he had any resistance to her interfering in government affairs.

Xu Yanjin didn't care, but Li An wanted to stop it at the time. It seemed that she wanted something, so she had to get Li An away first.

You Ning checked the temperature of Xu Yanjin's tea, and at some point the tea served was completely cold by now.

"Mr. Li, your Majesty is handling government affairs and can't even drink a cup of hot tea. How can you serve His Majesty?"

How could Li An go wrong with such a trivial matter, but when he wanted to change Xu Yanjin's tea, Xu Yanjin said no need, now that Youning uses this to criticize, Xu Yanjin will only think that Youning is caring about him, and he will not feel that Youning is in love with him. Find an excuse to dismiss Ang Lee.

"It's the servant's negligence. The servant will help His Majesty exchange a cup of hot tea."

Pushing Li An away, You Ning walked to the shelf at the back. Everything on it was wrapped in brocade bags. You Ning couldn't tell which one was the troop deployment map for a moment, so he flipped it over in front of Xu Yanjin. not too good?
He glanced sideways at Xu Yanjin, as if he was reading the memorial, and didn't pay much attention to her side, so Youning took a few to see if there was a mark on them.

Each brocade bag is marked on it, and it is relatively easy to find it, but there are so many things on it, and it is too much to keep flipping through.

But in order to complete the task by herself, I should hurry up and find it. If Xu Yanjin asks, she can just find an excuse to prevaricate.

I flipped through the boxes one by one, but I didn't see the troop deployment map. There were quite a few other messy things.

"Is the empress looking for something?"

It didn't take long to pour the tea. As soon as Li An came in, he saw You Ning looking for something, put the tea on the desk, and asked a lot.

"I asked the queen to help find something, is there any problem?"

"Your Majesty's will is naturally not a problem."

Youning was in a panic at the time, and when she was still thinking about the reason, Xu Yanjin had already helped her out, so Xu Yanjin knew what she was doing, so did Xu Yanjin also know what she was looking for?
After searching for a long time, You Ning finally found the troop deployment map she wanted. She put the item into her sleeve and gave Xu Yanjin a random map.

You Ning was quite smart, and the picture she took made Xu Yanjin barely able to take a look at it, and then put it aside after looking at it.

"Your Majesty is busy with court affairs, so You Ning will not bother you too much, and will go back to the palace first."

"Go back, I'll see you again tonight."

You Ning held the picture hidden in his sleeve, feeling a little apprehensive, walked quickly when he left the imperial study, like this when he did bad things, worried about being found out.

Xu Yanjin glanced back at the back shelf, he knew something was missing on it, you can take it if you want, that thing is useless, there are too many things recently, the Ministry of War is already redeploying troops.

You Ning retreated all the palace people and handed things over to Ping Wu. Ping Wu had already prepared his pen and ink, and drew an exact copy of the military deployment plan that You Ning brought back.

"On the day when merit is rewarded, the empress's achievements will surely be unparalleled."

Youning has indeed paid a lot, and Ping Wu only hopes that Youning can keep her most important thing—her heart.

If you give your heart here, when the Chu State invades the Xu State, You Ning will not be able to pass your own level.

Ping Wu put the picture that You Ning brought back into the cabinet, and there is no way to return it today, so he can only find a way to send it back another day.

-

The winter in Xu State is not very long, but I don’t know if Youning has stayed in Chu State for too long. It was okay at the beginning of winter, but the more it goes on, the more uncomfortable it becomes. My hands and feet are cold every day. Put a few heaters to keep it warm.

The heater is also inconvenient to move around, You Ning still can't do without this thing, for more than a month, You Ning has locked herself in the bedroom, not going out the door of the bedroom.

Every night, You Ning would nestle in Xu Yanjin's arms to keep warm. Xu Yanjin knew that You Ning was afraid of the cold and would wake up many times at night to help You Ning tuck herself into bed.

Due to the weather, after the water pavilion was built, Youning did not move there, but Xu Yanjin was given time to decorate it.

You Ning never went out, only Ping Wu told her about the decoration of the water pavilion, but the words were still limited, and You Ning still couldn't imagine how it was decorated.

"The bright red palace has steps made of snow-white jade. The slaves heard from the craftsmen that the wall lamps inside are all gold and the decorations are all fine jade."

Only the craftsman who built it and Xu Yanjin knew what it looked like inside, and the rest of the palace people were all kept outside. Before Youning moved in, this was a secret, and no one could get ahead of Youning to find out.
