I started a boy band in ancient times

Chu Qi returned to the Zhaixing Palace along the same route, temporarily ignoring Lan Ningbing's whereabouts.

He walked up the steps with the hem of his clothes in his hands, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw a person coming out of Ziwei Hall, almost bumping into him head-on.

——It’s about respecting the king.

Chu Jingzhong was neatly dressed, with a purple waist and yellow waist, and was meticulous. He did not appear disrespectful when meeting the emperor because of his own power.But there was a thin layer of anger on his face, as if he had just had an argument with someone.

This surprised Chu Qi very much.Chu Jingzhong does things in the same way, but he is strict and self-disciplined, and he is extremely measured. He accepts the criticism of the world, and he will not change his face when he is pointed at his nose. He has the aura of standing still when the sky falls.How could he be so angry all of a sudden?

King Jing bumped into Chu Qi all of a sudden, and was also taken aback. He squinted his eyes, looked Chu Qi up and down, and said coldly, "Mind your own business."

After that, he went down the stairs.

Chu Qi was left alone in a daze, slandering silently.

— Mind your own business?What am I doing?

——What about Lan Dingxue?But is that what I want to care about?It was thrown to me by the emperor, and you sent it to him.

——…Could it be that he had a dispute with the emperor because of this matter?What does Lan Dingxue have to do with him? As for making such a big fuss?

Chu Qi was at a loss for a moment, and decided to attribute this matter to Chu Jingzhong's illness.

He walked up the steps and found that all the palace people were guarding outside the hall.When Chun Ya'er saw him, she was very happy, and said slightly to the hall: "Your Majesty, the prince is here."

After a while, a voice came from Ziwei Hall: "Come in."

As soon as Chu Qi stepped in, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

When he came at noon, the sun was shining brightly, the sun was just right, the palace attendants were on the side, Lan Ningbing would sneer from time to time, it was generally considered relaxed and happy.

But now, the sun was setting and night was falling, and there was no one else in Ziwei Hall except the emperor, and no one lit the night lamp, so it was very dark.Through the blurred light, Chu Qi vaguely noticed a few fragments of the teacup on the ground, as if there was a feeling of desolation and coldness.

He looked carefully silently, Liu Jiyue couldn't see his expression clearly in the darkness, wondering if there was any remaining anger.

"Clean up and ask someone to come in." Liu Jiyue said.

Chun Ya'er complied, and soon someone picked up the broken pieces and lit the candle again.

When the Ziwei Hall was bright again, Chu Qi saw Liu Jiyue's gentle and gentle expression, and smiled at him, "Have you found anything? Come and sit down."

The seat given was closer than noon, and Chu Qi couldn't refuse, so he sat down in the past, thought for a while and said, "It's nothing, I just saw that Lan Dingxue died of poisoning... and what's more, he It seems that the corpse does not rot because of the 'Returning Soul Stone' in its mouth, is it a gift from His Majesty?"

"Well, Lan Dingxue has a special status, but he suffered such misfortune. Naturally, I can't treat him badly." Liu Jiyue said, "The musician should tell you, right? He is a matter of proton."

"That's why I'm a little puzzled..." Chu Qi asked, "Your Majesty knew that there was such a person in Fengguang Building, didn't you? But I heard people say that he only knew about it when Commander Luo recommended him at His Majesty's birthday banquet that day. "

Liu Jiyue said: "I know this person, but I have never seen him before. Fengfenglou is the power of King Jing, and the proton has always been protected by King Jing, how dare I ask?"

Chu Qi was slightly stunned, but Liu Jiyue did not conceal his discord with King Jing at all, even intending to assassinate him as regent and seize power.But it doesn't matter if he said this to others, if he said it to this son who respects the king, is he... vigilant?

But before he finished thinking about the emperor's psychology, Liu Jiyue laughed out loud, then stretched out his hand abruptly, and pushed aside the few files on the imperial case.

"However, I don't mean to ask more questions. If it wasn't thanks to King Jing, the documents here would be piled up like a mountain, and I wouldn't be able to finish reading them even if I was exhausted." Liu Jiyue raised her eyebrows, quite confidently, "How can there be any more?" What about going out of the palace for entertainment?"

"........."

Chu Qi's heart was almost overwhelmed by complaints.One voice hates iron but steel: "Grow some refreshments! Start your career! Work first and then enjoy!" Another voice earnestly said: "If your physique is not good, what should you do if you touch some fish? The body is the capital of the revolution, and life is the capital of the revolution." Can't finish it."

——However, he made it clear that King Jing's respect turned out to be the respect of professionalism.

At this time, Eunuch Chun led the eunuch to bring up a bowl of medicine soup, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, let's take medicine first."

In Chu Qi's mind, only the voice of earnestness remained in Chu Qi's mind.

Liu Jiyue glanced at it, and said lightly: "So early? Are you afraid that I will forget?"

Eunuch Chun said: "This is a medicine to help heal hand injuries. It should be taken before meals, not at night..."

Chu Qi was stunned. He seemed to remember that Liu Jiyue also needed medicine at noon. How many bowls would he have to drink a day?

"Really, I thought I had some kind of illness again." Liu Jiyue smiled, "Bring it here."

He took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and when he saw that it was not hot, he raised his head and drank it, and then pressed the corners of his lips skillfully as if drinking water.

After using up the medicine, Liu Jiyue said: "Since that's the case, let's pass on the meal and let Chu Qing take it together."

It was Long Chong's courtesy again. Although Chu Qi had already stayed at Zhaixing Palace, it was relatively rare to have a meal together, but it disrupted his original plan.

Chu Qi said: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness. In fact, I have already made an agreement with Music Master Lan. I want to go back to Fengfeng Tower to check again, so I won't disturb the emperor for dinner."

Liu Jiyue's smile continued: "You reunited with Mingyao's old friend, and you still have a very close friendship; and you have only known this musician for a day, but you still treat him warmly. We haven't seen each other for many years, and Chu Qing is still like this enthusiasm."

Chu Qi: "...?"

Didn't you entrust this matter to me this morning, and said that if you don't find out the truth, the rumors will become more and more fierce?

——Are you not in a hurry now?

The dinner was quickly served, and Liu Jiyue told him with actions that he was not in a hurry.

"I promised King Jing to go out of the palace. If you go to Fengfeng Tower, you will run into him by chance, and then you will be ordered to return to the palace. You will not be able to ask anything." Liu Jiyue tasted a few small dishes, as if she had lost her appetite, and kept going Seeing Chu Qi move his chopsticks, "Why don't you come and ask me."

Chu Qi was seen hesitating between eating and not eating, and finally gave up, let it go.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, and thought about the question: "Scenery Building is not just a place for fireworks, is it?"

Liu Jiyue tilted her head meaningfully, but said nothing.

— This is also obvious.How could Chu Jingzhong, a civil servant who is crazy about overtime work, open a brothel for nothing, and he doesn't enjoy it himself, and he can place Lan's proton there for more than ten years.And after the news of the emperor's assassination in Fengguanglou spread yesterday, no matter who the backer behind Fengguanglou was, the government would always be able to investigate legitimately, but Chu Jingzhong went there in person, as if to cover up something.

"Naturally." Liu Jiyue said, "I'll tell you when I finish eating this plate of lotus seeds and tuckahoe cake."

Eunuch Chun moved a plate of pastries on the emperor's table to Chu Qi's side.

Food given by the emperor is a great special favor.

But Chu Qi only had an ellipsis in his heart.

As far as he knows, lotus seeds are slightly bitter, and poria cocos are also slightly bitter, both of which are good medicinal products.And Liu Jiyue's body is weak, so naturally she has to supplement her usual food, even if it's a small snack after meals.

——You don’t want to eat it, so give it to me?

But how can I return what was bestowed by the emperor——

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Qi pretended to be happy, and took the first bite, his expression almost distorted.

Unpalatable, not really unpalatable.

He just couldn't understand why a pastry could be so bitter.

But he finished eating expressionlessly, without even furrowing his eyebrows, and then looked at the emperor.

Liu Jiyue thoughtfully, pointed to another plate: "Try this again."

Eunuch Chun put the crystal hawthorn cake in front of him.

Chu Qi: "..."

Chu Qi finished eating slowly.

A little too sour, but much better than the last one.

However, as soon as he swallowed his last bite, another plate of osmanthus cake with coconut milk was placed on the table.

"..."

Chu Qi didn't move for a while, thinking what I said or did wrong, you want to play me like this?

Liu Jiyue said: "Is it because you don't like sweets? Why don't you try this plate of ginger cake?"

"!" Chu Qi suddenly reacted. He looked at the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy snacks on the emperor's table in front of him, and his mood was extremely complicated for a while.

——Is it necessary to try out his favorite taste?

——But he really doesn’t have any favorite food.

If he had to say it, he was a little afraid of pastries now.

Chu Qi was struggling with how to open this mouth, Liu Jiyue had already asked people to remove the dinner, leaving only a cup of tea that was neither sour nor sweet nor bitter nor spicy.

Chu Qi took a sip, thinking that the truth is plain.

After another sip, it was neither astringent nor fragrant, but had a unique and pleasant taste.

"It seems that this taste is to your liking." Liu Jiyue laughed.

But Liu Jiyue drank another bowl of medicine.

I don't know what was added to the medicine, but it turned slightly crimson. After Liu Jiyue finished drinking, she covered her chest and closed her eyes for a while, and her face became even paler.

Chu Qi looked on in shock, but the palace people on the side seemed to be surprised, so he had no choice but to put away his surprise, but was very puzzled.

Liu Jiyue's frailty was visible to the naked eye when he was young, but he didn't need to take so many doses of medicine; now that he is an adult, he is not considered thin, and his stature is quite tall, except for the lack of rosiness on his face, he can't tell I was sick and sick, but I don't know why it got worse.

After Liu Jiyue slowed down, he opened his eyes, smiled at him and said, "Okay, let's get down to business now."

The rest of the eunuchs voluntarily withdrew from the palace, but Chun Ya'er just stayed a little farther away.

"Just now we talked about Fengfenglou, Fengfenglou is not just a brothel." Liu Jiyue paused, and said, "It's also a place where kings are respected and soldiers are trained."

"..." Chu Qi opened his eyes wide, as if he had already seen the confiscation seal on King Jing's Mansion.

"It's not a soldier who wants to rebel, but a shadow guard. I've always known it." Liu Jiyue said, "The late emperor ordered King Jing to train secretly. The shadow guard who integrates intelligence, assassination, and body protection, 'Qingli Guard', You saw it last night."

"—'Cang'."

As Liu Jiyue's words fell, a figure of Dai Qing suddenly appeared from nowhere, half-kneeling at Liu Jiyue's feet, it was one of the shadow guards who injured Lan Ningbing.

Liu Jiyue said again: "There is one beside you."

Chu Qi couldn't care less about being shocked why Liu Jiyue wanted to tell him about Qingliwei, so he quickly patted his thigh: "Ling Feidu, Ling Feidu? Come out!"

——Don't put on a show, you have to come out quickly at this time.

Ling Feidu heard his call this time, made his debut silently, and knelt beside Chu Qi in the same posture.

Then he raised his head slightly, and tore off the black cloth covering his face, letting the emperor recognize him.

"Qing Liwei, Ling Feidu, codenamed 'Ji'."

Chu Qi had never seen Ling Feidu's real face a few times in total, and just as he was about to take another look at this moment, a voice suddenly popped out of his mind.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host. After unremitting efforts, Ling Feidu, a member of the men's team, has greatly improved the attribute of 'famousness', so reward the host: 1 skill point."
