Qing Yan

"That's fine, why did she want to kill Yang Lie?" Yu Wenrui murmured, his eyes blushing.

"Maybe there is something hidden." Chai Qi said.

Yu Wenrui's eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Chai Qi: "When she...was...in pain?"

Chai Qi's eyelids twitched, "When I snatched her out, she was covered in blood."

Yu Wenrui had a sore nose, and blinked vigorously to keep tears from welling up in his eyes.

She was silent, and Chai Qi stayed silent with her.

After a long while, Yu Wenrui said with a shivering voice, "Thank you, Senior Sister Chai!"

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for snatching little eight sister out. Although she...but you snatched her out so that she won't stay in Beizheng and be humiliated..."

Chai Qi understood in his heart: the so-called 'scholars can be killed but not humiliated', what if the corpses are left in Beizheng, they can't be shown to the public?What a shame.

Her eyes wandered to the "Fei Gong" sword that Yu Wenrui threw aside and ignored, and she said to herself, little junior sister, don't you owe me the most thanks, isn't it my sister that I take the risk to get this back for you?

Yu Wenrui didn't know what was going on in Chai Qi's mind at all, she asked Chai Qi with red eyes: "Sister Ba...do you have anything to say?"

For a moment, Chai Qi shook his head and said, "No."

Yu Wenrui was even more sad, which meant that when senior sister Chai snatched away little eighth sister, she was already... dying.

"Where is she buried? I'm going to see her!"

Chai Qi raised his eyebrows, "There is a chance."

Yu Wenrui curled up, stared blankly at the toes of the dragon-patterned boots on her feet with her head down, "I thought I could see her again...she is so proud, she will come to me again and let me kill her." She avenged the late emperor. I don't even know what I will do...how could she just go like this? I don't want her to die!"

Chai Qi frowned secretly.

"Senior Sister Chai," Yu Wenrui turned to Chai Qi with tears in his eyes, "I can't avenge the late emperor's revenge. I'm sorry for my sister-in-law and I lost my little eighth sister, I..."

Chai Qi sighed silently, and stretched his arms to hold her in his arms, "Little sister, most of the things in this world are helpless. Don't make things difficult for yourself, and be your emperor obediently, isn't it good?"

Yu Wenrui sniffled, calmed down, and said, "What happened in Yang Lie's bedroom last night?"

Chai Qi then told Yu Wenrui what he saw and heard at the time.

"So, sister Ba was not ordered to kill Yang Lie?"

Chai Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know if someone instructed me, but she was indeed the only one in the bedroom at that time. If someone planned it beforehand, according to common sense, it would be safe to send a few more people."

Yu Wenrui bit her lip, after all she couldn't know why Yang Min wanted to assassinate.

"Senior sister, do you know that not long after Yang Lie's death, Zhan Teng led his troops into Beizheng's harem and protected the East Palace?"

"I really don't know about this. In the past ten or so hours, I hurriedly... buried the girl, and came to you in a hurry."

Yu Wenrui's eyes flashed with gratitude: "Senior sister really worked hard!"

Chai Qi looked away unnaturally, as if he was ashamed to meet her gaze.

Yu Wenrui didn't take it seriously, "Sister, don't you think that Zhan Teng overreacted? Even if he is the general of Beizheng, it is his job to protect the country and the people. The successor of Guozuo has his own clan and royal family to worry about. Let him be a foreign minister? Or, did he have any selfish intentions? Or did he have any affair with Yang Lie?"

Chai Qi said: "I don't know about government affairs, but I do know that the Zhan family father and son are proficient in bow and horse and martial arts."

Yu Wenrui squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and snorted coldly: "In the early court, the officials said that Zhan Yu had few opponents in Beizheng, but I really want to see his ability!"

Chai Qi feared that she would put herself in danger, so she shook her head and said, "It's just a small servant's son, you have so many good generals and talents, let them take care of it."

Yu Wenrui has a young heart, even though he held back on the surface, he secretly gathered enough strength in his heart.

"The sword has been given to you, and I am leaving."

After Chai Qi finished speaking, he got up to leave, but was grabbed by Yu Wenrui.

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Senior Sister, don't rush to leave, the palace is lively and lively, let's go after the Chinese New Year!"

Chai Qi looked at the earnest expression of the little junior sister, and smiled lightly, "What's so exciting in the palace? Intrigues, intrigues, nine out of ten stops are false..."

Seeing the disappointment in the little junior sister's eyes, Chai Qi smiled again: "You only think that your palace is lively? My Xuanyuanmen's New Year Festival is also very lively, and this year is my first time as the head, so I must go back."

Yu Wenrui wondered: "Master passed the position of head to you, Senior Sister?"

Chai Qi blinked, "It's not from Master, but from our senior sister Yan Wunian."

Yu Wenrui was also speechless.Their master is also talented, just in order to be able to hide, he created the identity of "Yan Wunian".

"Senior Sister Chai doesn't blame Master anymore?" Senior Sister Chai is now able to tease Master with ease. I think the knot in her heart has been loosened a bit, right?

Chai Qi smiled wryly: "Master, her old man is a person who attained Taoism and became immortal, so it's better not to think about it."

Yu Wenrui understood.Being able to "don't want to" means that you have already started to let go.To really care about a person is never to be able to "don't want to" if you want to "don't want to". Missing is something that will come out involuntarily.Just like her thinking about Jing Yan, someone, something or something can always arouse her miss and concern for Jing Yan in different ways, even if they meet every day.

She couldn't think of Jing Yan, so she couldn't let Jing Yan go.

Looking at Chai Qi's snow-colored back, in the cold night, Yu Wenrui felt more free and unrestrained than when he first saw her. How could such a senior sister like the rules and formulas in the palace?

Yu Wenrui then asked the question that he had wanted to ask for a long time——

"Senior Sister, don't you want to restore the status of the ancestor? That is your right, after all, you have the blood of the Yuwen family..."

Chai Qi shook his head and interrupted her: "Junior Martial Sister, I understand your kindness. But to me, it doesn't matter what kind of ancestral status or royal blood. Master picked it up next to the firewood stack of a villager. I, gave me the character 'Chai' as my surname, and found out my life experience, and gave me a name, that's enough. Whoever is the emperor in this world, who wins and who loses, who is the king and who is the loser is right It doesn't matter to me. I will do my best to help you because you are my junior sister, and I like your behavior very much, not because you are the emperor of Dazhou, or because I should have My surname is Yuwen."

"Sister..."

"That's all! Let's not talk about this. I'm leaving, take care of yourself, and don't forget Master's instructions!"

"Sister, do you want to go back to Xuanyuanmen?"

Chai Qi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he said slowly: "I'll go to Prince Yi's Mansion to have a look, and then I'll go back to Xuanyuan Gate."

"Senior Sister... miss Brother Da Huang?"

Chai Qi let out a long breath: "He is my real brother after all..."

She pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help saying: "Junior Sister, Prince Yi's Mansion is very complicated..."

Yu Wenrui said awe-inspiringly, "Senior Sister means Brother Da Huang..."

"It's not him... I think he is also helpless."

Shi Ran is worthy of being a master of Xinglin, after his decoction treatment, although Jing Yan's illness has not gone to root, it has indeed been alleviated a lot, and she will not be bedridden, she finally recovered some of her own healthy energy God, it made her so happy.

It's icy and snowy outside, she followed Shi Ran's doctor's order not to take a step out of Kuntai Palace, but inside the palace, she can always do what she likes within her capacity, right?

"Master, take a break! Be careful not to tire your eyes." Shi Mo brought the decoction that had just been boiled, served Jing Yan to drink it, and leaned a big pillow behind Jing Yan's back, making it more comfortable for her to lean on .

Jing Yan wiped off the medicine stains on the corners of his lips, and ate two brown sugar dates with a smile in his eyes, "Since I got sick, this purse has been embroidered halfway, and it fell off. The Ai family looked at the old one that the emperor carried with him."

Shi Mo laughed and said: "Your majesty is really careful with the master. Just now, Mr. Shi said that the crystal cake is not easy to digest and is afraid of hurting the spleen and stomach, so your majesty rushed to send this brown sugar jujube, and said brown sugar Jujubes and jujubes are all nourishing blood, and are good for your body, master."

Jing Yan smiled: "It's hard for her to be so careful."

"Hehe, master, you are also very meticulous with His Majesty! Look at the embroidered purse, there is hardly a trace of stitches."

Jing Yan's slender and jade-white fingers involuntarily rubbed the bright yellow material of the purse, "The things that are close to her body must be comfortable to use, so that the Ai family can feel at ease."

Shi Mo suddenly realized something: "Huh? It's so strange today, it's already this hour, why didn't His Majesty come to our palace?"

The corners of Jing Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and his voice was also calm: "I think it's because he is busy with political affairs? The emperor has grown up and is sensible, and it is a good thing that he knows how to pay more attention to the government affairs of the court."

Even though she said so, a faint sense of disappointment filled her heart——

Habit is a terrible thing, especially getting used to a person's existence.

When she appeared, she might be thought of as disturbing others' cleanliness; but when she didn't appear, the cleanliness that should have been used to already made people restless, as if they couldn't feel at ease every moment.

I thought to myself, why didn't she show up on time?Is she criticizing papers or meeting courtiers?Can you eat dinner on time?In such a cold weather, how can the people around her be considerate?

Suddenly, Jing Yan realized that he had grasped the bright yellow purse tightly without knowing when, and the embroidery needle pinned on it lightly pierced his palm through the silky silk material, like being stung by a bee on the tip of his heart .

Jing Yan stared dazedly at the tiny red spot on his palm, but luckily the puncture was not deep, and there was no bleeding, only a hissing and itching pain.

She sighed softly, stroked the bright yellow purse again, and smoothed every wrinkle with distress, as if she was calming the waves in her heart.

However, the wrinkles are easy to flatten, but the mood is hard to flatten.

So she picked up the embroidery needle by the light of the candle, and pierced the needle point with her own blood and body temperature into her purse again and again, saying it was like embroidery, more like sewing her heart tightly with silk thread——

Maybe that's the only way she can feel better.
