Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

"you……"

"There is an assassin..."

"I'm going out to take a look, please pay attention to your safety." Qi Mingjing pointed at Lin Jiu and was about to say something when he heard a sudden shout of an assassin outside. Qi Mingjing ignored his anger and told Lin Jiu to pay attention to his safety before walking out.

Lin Jiu naturally followed.

"grown ups."

When Tingzhu and Xing'er saw Lin Jiu, they quickly stood beside her.

"Are you scared?"

"Xing'er is not afraid when adults are here."

"Did the envoy have someone to protect him?" Lin Jiu asked, looking at the assassins who were fighting with the secret guards in the courtyard.

"Don't worry, Dong Ping and A Lan are watching over there, nothing will happen." Qi Mingjing said.

At this time, another group of assassins came in from the outside. This group of people was obviously much more skilled than the previous group.

Seeing this, Qi Mingjing stopped watching the battle and joined in.

"You two are hiding." Lin Jiu said to Tingzhu and Xing'er, then pulled out the whip from his waist and joined the battle.

With the addition of Lin Jiu, the situation was quickly brought under control. Seeing that he was defeated, the assassin committed suicide by biting the poison sac in his teeth.

"He is a dead soldier trained by Wei Zijing."

Qi Mingjing inspected the assassin's body and said to Lin Jiu.

"Sir." Tingzhu and Xing'er ran out from the side.

"You two are alright!"

"We're fine, sir, go back to your room and change your clothes first!" Tingzhu said.

Only then did Lin Jiu realize that there were a lot of blood stains on his body. There was no soap or anything at this time. The blood stains must not be washed clean, and his good clothes were scrapped like this.

"Ajiu, you go freshen up first, and I'll go see the envoy."

"I will go with your highness." Lin Jiu and Qi Mingjing escorted the Silla envoy to Beijing together. Now that there was an assassin, she had to show up.

"Alright."

The two walked into Xiyuan together. Allan and Dongping saw the two coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Master, sir."

"How is the situation?" Qi Mingjing asked.

"These assassins are all dead soldiers. When they saw that they were defeated, they all committed suicide by taking poison. Their subordinates were incompetent and failed to capture them alive."

"Where are the envoys from Silla? Is anyone injured?"

"Sir, the envoys of Silla are fine. Two of our brothers were seriously injured and four were slightly injured. No one died."

"That's good, let the injured guard recover. Although the assassin failed this time, they will come again if we can't save them all. Be careful." Qi Mingjing said.

"Yes."

"Ajiu, since the Silla envoy is fine, I will send you back to your room first."

"Thank you, Sixth Prince."

When Lin Jiu returned, Tingzhu and Xing'er had already prepared hot water. Seeing Lin Jiu coming in, they saluted and said, "Sir, Xing'er and I are waiting outside. If you need anything, call us."

"Ah."

After the two left, Lin Jiu took a hot bath. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Lin Jiu always felt that there was a faint smell of blood on her body. Looking at the blood-stained clothes on the side, Lin Jiu felt even more disgusted.

Lin Jiu handed the bloody clothes to Tingzhu, "Take them and burn them!"

"Yes."

On the second day, Lin Jiu changed into a crimson horse-faced skirt, a moon-white top with a red horse-faced skirt, and a tall ponytail. Lin Jiu, who was originally a bit bookish, suddenly became more heroic.

After arriving in the capital, Lin Jiu and the others never encountered assassins again. Probably because the previous failed assassination had caused heavy losses to these people, leaving them unable to organize the next assassination. Or maybe this group of people was brewing a bigger plot in the dark. conspiracy.

"I've met Sixth Brother." Qi Mingfeng and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were already waiting here in the ten-mile long pavilion.

"Seventh brother."

"I have met the Seventh Prince."

"Master Lin, there is no need to be polite." Qi Mingfeng wanted to help Lin Jiu with a smile, but Lin Jiu avoided it calmly.

Qi Mingfeng's face paused slightly, and a trace of anger quickly flashed in his eyes. If Lin Jiu hadn't been observing secretly, he might not have noticed it.

"I am here to welcome the envoys of Silla on the order of my father. Brother Six and Mr. Lin have worked hard on this journey."

"It's not hard work when it's your job." Qi Mingjing also said with a faint smile, "Then these envoys have to work for the seventh brother. Mr. Lin and I have to go back to our father, so we won't chat with the seventh brother here. ”

"Then I won't delay Brother Six."

"Ajiu seems to dislike seventh brother very much?" Qi Mingjing suddenly asked after separating from Qi Mingfeng.

"The sixth prince has misunderstood. I just don't want to have too much contact with the prince."

"Don't Ajiu think that the seventh brother is gentle? You must know that the seventh brother is the least presumptuous among our brothers, and he is also the most generous to his brothers. He usually lives aloof from the world, and his only hobby is romance, and The seventh brother is the most infatuated among us brothers. When he married the seventh brother, he promised her that they will be together for the rest of their lives. Even though the seventh brother and sister are still childless, the seventh brother has never thought about taking a concubine."

"Oh. The seventh princess is quite lucky." Lin Jiu said calmly. She didn't believe that Qi Mingjing couldn't see the ambition in Qi Mingfeng's eyes.

"Everyone in the court praises the seventh brother and says he is a gentleman, but I don't like him."

"Sixth Prince, please don't say this again."

Help, can she hear this?

"Anyway, I'm just telling Ajiu. Ajiu, we are on the same path. Don't be deceived by that fake Qi Mingfeng." Qi Mingjing looked at Lin Jiu childishly.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Jiu nodded. Even if Qi Mingjing didn't say anything, she would not get too close to Qi Mingfeng. Now that the battles in the court were raging, she finally stayed away from the whirlpool of the capital and got close to many princes. She didn't hate her fate. Long. If she hadn't been sent by Emperor Taikang to be Qi Mingjing's assistant, she wouldn't have been so close to Qi Mingjing.

Fortunately, the two of them quickly approached the imperial city, and Qi Mingjing also calmed down for a rare moment, and Lin Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sixth Prince, Mr. Lin, Your Majesty has asked you two to go to the Qianyuan Palace for an audience." As soon as they entered the imperial city, they saw the servant Ping An waiting aside. "Your Majesty has ordered that His Highness and Lord Lin can ride to Qianyuan Hall."

"Thank you for your consideration, but the rules cannot be broken." The two dismounted from their horses to express their gratitude.

Seeing this, the chamberlain stepped forward and led the horses into the stable nearby, and fed the two horses fodder.

The two of them did not dare to delay and walked directly to Qianyuan Hall.

The man who had been serving Emperor Taikang immediately stepped forward and smiled when he saw the two of them: "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Your Highness and Master Lin should follow the old slave in quickly!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister Li."

"My son has met my father and wishes him well."

"Your Majesty, Lin Jiu, is here to see you. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"I am alone, prosperous, peaceful, and given a seat."

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Jiu waited for Qi Mingjing to sit down, and then sat down at Qi Mingjing's starting position.

"Lin Qing, after the fourth prince came back from Dingyuan last time, he told Gu that you had purchased some high-yielding species from foreign businessmen. Is this relevant?"
