Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

This was a casual question subconsciously, but she didn't expect Yu Wenjue to speak. Xiao Qianyi clenched the teacup in her hand, tugged at the corners of her lips, and her face became even hotter.

He spoke in a very soft voice and stopped looking at her after speaking, only lowering his head to drink tea.

After a small interlude, Gongsun Xu and others continued the interrupted topic.

Xiao Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief silently, not wanting the cup to slip if her hand holding the cup slipped.

Xiao Qianyi had quick eyes and quick hands and caught it, but a few drops still spilled out and soaked her clothes.

The people talking looked over again.

"The girl is very skilled."

Gongsun Xu was sitting diagonally across from Xiao Qianyi. He happened to see the smooth movements of her hands and couldn't help but smile and praise her.

She was not bad at martial arts. Whether she encountered an ambush or Yu Wenqi launched a palace coup, they all saw it.

Xiao Qianyi lowered her head and glanced at the hem of her clothes, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "It's almost okay, otherwise, not a drop should have spilled out."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people started laughing, not in ridicule, but in appreciation.

She has a straightforward and bold temperament. Even if her appearance is damaged, she is still calm and generous and will not be coy.

There was some appreciation in Gongsun Xu's eyes: "I have long heard that the girl's grace on the battlefield is not inferior to that of the prince, but I have been able to catch a glimpse of her in the past few days."

Xiao Qianyi smiled and shook her head, disapprovingly: "If it were on the battlefield, such a mistake should not happen."

She glanced at the main seat, thought for a while and then said: "Let me deal with it."

Yu Wenjue then raised his eyes to look at the maid not far away, and nodded.

Xiao Qianyi followed her maid to the guest room in the mansion and heard several people talking about their plans for the new year.

Only then did she remember that they seemed to have been arguing about this matter just now.

It is not unexpected at all to attack Nan Qi again. After all, based on the battle situation that day, it was only a matter of time to capture Nan Qi sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to pursue the victory, news came from Luo'an that the emperor was in poor health and might not be able to survive for a long time. After Yu Wenke and Yu Wenqi learned about it, they had no intention of fighting. They just wanted to return to Luo'an and take the opportunity to divide their power. In the end, It's good to be able to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the full cessation of the war and the withdrawal of troops were just a helpless move forced by the situation. Now that Yu Wenqi has been executed, Yu Wenke and others should not dare to make any more moves in the near future, but this does not mean that Luo'an is still stable.

At this stall, Yu Wenke proposed to attack Qi again, but who knew what his intentions were.

How should they respond?

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind blew snow flakes straight into the house. Xiao Qianyi couldn't help shivering and shrank her neck. The wet area on her chest was cold.

Looking at the snowflakes outside, they were much bigger than when we first arrived, and they were flying in the air. After a while, even the roof eaves were covered with a thin layer of white, and the entire palace seemed to be covered with a piece of plain gauze.

"Ms. Xiao, please come this way."

After leaving the door, the maid took Xiao Qianyi to the west wing.

Xiao Qianyi looked at the scenery in the mansion and thought about it. Listening to Lord Gongsun's wishes, he suggested that His Highness stay in Luo'an and agreed to let Yu Wenke lead the troops to attack Qi. First, to protect the Lord, and secondly, His Highness was recovering from his injuries. It was indeed not necessary. It's better to go to the battlefield again.

But my brother meant exactly the opposite, thinking that this was a good opportunity for His Highness to gain military power...

Xiao Qianyi was a little conflicted for a moment, thinking silently in her mind.

That day, the spies they sent out clearly saw Yu Wenke leading the soldiers out of the house and heading straight to the palace.

Even in Weiyang Palace, Yu Wenqi had led people to start a rebellion, but Yu Wenke was still nowhere to be seen.

In order not to alert the enemy, she and her lord had no choice but to surrender and let Yu Wenqi tie them up in front of the emperor's soul.

Even so, they didn't even wait for Yu Wenke.

It was later learned that Yu Wenke's bicycle passed by the palace gate and headed outside the city. Later it was said that he was going hunting in the suburbs.

If she hadn't experienced this incident, she really wouldn't have been able to see that such a fickle and simple-minded warrior could be so cunning and deceived almost all of them.

It's a pity that they can't take the blame for their brother. I'm afraid it will be even harder to attack him again in the future.

The more Xiao Qianyi thought about it, the more pity she felt. This Yu Wenke was too cunning.

If Yu Wenke died, how could they have so many worries now...

"Hey--"

There was a sudden scream.

Xiao Qianyi raised her eyes and saw a maid in the corridor. The sole of her foot slipped and she was about to fall on her back.

Xiao Qianyi didn't have time to think, she pointed her toes, jumped out of the corridor, stretched out her long arm, grabbed the maid's arm tightly, and pulled her back hard, barely able to pull her back.

Half of the maid's body weight was on her, so she took a step back to avoid falling together with the maid.

The series of movements made people slightly breathless.

Xiao Qianyi slowed down and helped the maid to stand firm: "It's snowy and the road is slippery, so be careful next time."

"Thank you Madam Xiao for saving me."

The maid's face was full of gratitude, and she said words of thanks, but she didn't bother to salute her, her eyes were darting wildly, and she was anxious to find the box that flew out.

Xiao Qianyi was surprised. She looked over and saw the big wooden box buckled on the ground, with the scattered things inside scattered everywhere.

Before she could open her mouth, the maid was startled, her eyes widened for a moment, and she went to pick up something in a low voice.

Seeing this, the maid who led the way also ran over and bent down to help pick it up.

Xiao Qianyi frowned: "What is so important?"

The maid picked it up without forgetting to look around, for fear of being discovered: "I don't know, but the boss told me to send it to His Highness's bedroom."

Bedroom?

Xiao Qianyi glanced at an old and dirty sachet, a blood-stained sachet, and some letters...

These must be Yu Wenjue's personal belongings.

Not only the letters and the sachet, but the sachet didn't look like a man's thing at all, and it seemed to be bulging with stuff inside.

Xiao Qianyi took a few steps forward, bent down to pick it up and take a look, her eyes blurred, and she picked up the sachet first with one hand.

Xiao Qianyi turned her head and looked over. A maid with a low eyebrow held the sachet and bowed respectfully to her.

"Thank you, Madam Xiao, for your help. I'll leave the trivial matters here to my slave. His Highness is still waiting for Madam in the flower hall."

Xiao Qianyi stared at the person who came and found that she had never seen him before. The key was that he knew martial arts.

She thought she was not bad at martial arts, but this maid was able to get the sachet before her eyes, which meant that her martial arts skills were not inferior to hers, but perhaps superior to hers.

She has been with His Highness for a long time, but she has never seen this maid before.

The maid was still polite, but she knew the rules.

Xiao Qianyi spared her courtesy and asked: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Did you just follow His Highness recently?"

The maid didn't even raise her eyelashes, her attitude was very respectful: "My name is Qingzhu, and I have been following His Highness for a long time. I was only sent to do other things before, and recently I was sent back to the palace to take care of the internal affairs."

Xiao Qianyi looked at her thoughtfully.

It seemed that Qingzhu and Xu, the guard who always had a straight face, were from the same place.

After thinking about it this way, I stopped asking.

The maid who led the way was waiting aside, and Xiao Qianyi followed her to the west wing.

Perhaps due to the erratic wind and snow, there were intermittent voices behind him, which were not clear.

Just a few words.

Xiao Qianyi buzzed and her ears rang.
