I started a boy band in ancient times

After Chu Qi made up his mind, he set off immediately.

Walking outside the Xuanwu Gate, he suddenly regretted it - he should have stopped Mingyao just now!

Because Mingyao is very popular with the Empress Dowager and Princess Zhaohua, and is the younger brother of the Empress, he often goes to the harem to report, so he has his own way of coming and going, maybe he can be included as well.

But now that Mingyao has gone somewhere, and he has no edict, Chu Jingzhong probably doesn't want to see him either, and there will be no way to enter the palace openly in a short time.

... Otherwise, try flying over the eaves and walls?

He was a little terrified when he first thought of this idea—what kind of idea!Not to mention that the guards in the palace have been strengthened because of the change of the Taiwei Palace, even if there is no, can he still sneak into the palace?

Not to mention that he knows that there are quite a few Qingli Guards lurking in the palace, even if he has full strength now, he is likely to be discovered by them, and he will be punished for the serious crime of trespassing the palace.

Chu Qi hurriedly threw this thought out of his mind.

But just when he was about to find another way, Ling Feidu, who usually never showed up in times of crisis, quietly landed behind him, like a ghost suddenly: "Your subordinate can bring the master into the palace."

"???" Chu Qi turned around to look at him in astonishment, "How?"

Ling Feidu opened his eyes innocently: "It's the way the master has in mind."

Chu Qi: "..."

——You Qingliwei are so neglectful of duty, does King Jing know that!

—— Please be more dedicated!My professional heart hurts!

"This is not good!" Chu Qi tried to reason, "Although I believe in your lightness kung fu, I also quite believe in mine, but breaking into the palace without authorization... is a little too much."

"It's not trespassing." Ling Feidu said, "Your Majesty has ordered that if the prince accidentally wants to enter the palace to meet the saint, you can use this method, but it can avoid King Jing's eyeliner."

Chu Qi: "..."

——I was wrong, it was Liu Jiyue who was not professional.

But since the emperor said so, let's fly over the walls.

Ling Feidu was very familiar with the arrangement of patrolling guards in the palace. After Chu Qi had reached full strength, his lightness kung fu was also very good. The two climbed over the palace wall of Xuanwu Gate without much effort, and then avoided all the guards. Shuttle in the palace.

Chu Qi followed Ling Feidu, paying attention to the direction he led, thinking a lot.

After a while, Ling Feidu finally slowed down, quietly landed in the shadow under the eaves, and signaled that he had arrived.

Chu Qi also had a good idea of ​​where the various palaces in the imperial city were located. He knew where they were now—not Zhaixing Palace, but Hanzhang Palace not far from Zhaixing Palace.

There are four halls in Hanzhang Palace, three of which are not occupied by people and only store books, and the remaining one is the emperor's imperial study.

But Chu Qi remembered that there was no imperial study here more than ten years ago, only the sleeping hall specially set up for him by the late emperor, presumably it was changed into the imperial study after he left Beijing.

Ling Feidu said: "Your Majesty is in the hall."

Chu Qi looked at him amusedly: "I have a question, are your Qingli Guards divided into cliques now? Some are loyal to King Jing, and some are loyal to the Holy One?"

Ling Feidu thought for a while: "No, the subordinates are loyal to the master."

He calmly said, "Didn't the master want to enter the palace?"

Chu Qi: "..."

That's right, he couldn't refute it.

——Ling Feidu has become more and more able to choke him to death recently.

——But it’s really easy to use, and it’s worthy of being the most reliable in the group.

Chu Qi stood under the eaves, quietly looking around the palace.The layout of the courtyard was almost unchanged, no trees were planted in the palace, and two clumps of extremely rare Chiba peonies were planted in front of the palace. It was October at this time, and they bloomed beautifully, colorfully and fragrantly.

This is a palace bestowed by the former emperor, and even the flowers and trees were specially selected by him. Of course Chu Qi would not ask about it before, but Liu Jiyue didn't want to make any changes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the imperial study room.The little eunuch at the door was very surprised when he saw him, but he didn't ask him why he came, but turned around and ran into the hall to communicate. Soon, Chun Ya'er came out tiptoeing.

Chun Ya'er was quite surprised to see him, led him inside, and whispered: "Your Majesty fell asleep while reading."

Chu Qi asked in a low voice: "Why don't you go back to Ziwei Hall to rest?" He silently looked at the furnishings in the hall, but it has been greatly changed, and the original appearance cannot be seen, but it is also possible that everything has been moved to the display. temple.

"If you really lie on the bed, you won't be able to fall asleep, not to mention that His Majesty rarely closes his eyes, how dare our family disturb you."

Chu Qi frowned and said, "Didn't the imperial physician prescribe some soothing medicine?"

"It's been prescribed, and it was used often in the past, but it's not accepted recently." Chun Ya'er broke down in distress, "It's impossible for us to really force it..."

Chu Qi wondered, "Why are you not convinced?"

Chun Ya'er was silent.

While whispering softly, Chu Qi walked to the depths of the study, and saw Liu Jiyue sleeping peacefully with her head resting on her side, with a half-read book in her hand.On both sides are palace servants with bowed heads, and a small half-height window is erected on the side. The autumn wind of October gently blows in, slightly blowing the pages of the book and his hair, and the whole picture is quiet and beautiful.

But as if by accident, Chu Qi couldn't help but get closer.

He walked to Liu Jiyue's side, squatted down silently, and looked at his sleeping face.

His sleeping face was not stable, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was going through a catastrophe, he bit his lower lip unconsciously, the bruises under his eyes were quite obvious, and he was also thinner, as if he was weaker than when we parted last time.

——Why didn’t I go to the palace to see him earlier?

Chu Qi thought, if I knew what he looked like, I would have sneaked in early in the morning.

While thinking, he saw Liu Jiyue's eyelashes tremble, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Shiben was a light sleeper, and woke up when he heard a slight movement.

Chu Qi's heart trembled, and he was about to kneel down to confess his crimes, but he saw Liu Jiyue's eyes were clouded, and the eyes that fell on him were free and blank, like an innocent white rabbit.

He rubbed Chu Qi's forehead hair, and then smiled softly: "Today is really cute."

Chu Qi was slightly stunned, and tried softly: "...Your Majesty, this is not a dream."

Hearing this, Liu Jiyue's pupils shrank slightly, as if she woke up instantly.

He glanced at the scroll in his hand, recalled all the things before going to bed, and then looked at Chu Qi again: "...Why are you here?"

Chu Qi smiled, and whispered: "I have to ask His Majesty for forgiveness first, Ling Feidu and his ministers sneaked in."

"I know, that's why I asked you, why did you know it at this time?" Liu Jiyue's eyes were full of smiles, he seemed to be a little tired, or he liked this angle, he still rested his pillow on his hand, looking down slightly Chu Qi, who was squatting on the side, seemed inexplicably intimate.

Chu Qi's thoughts changed sharply. Although he said that he rushed into the palace because he was afraid that He Lanyi's nonsense would make the emperor sick, but now that Prince Beiyong didn't even show up, it was even more strange for him to directly mention the matter.

So he turned against the army: "...Your Majesty didn't announce the minister to enter the palace."

"It's my fault." Liu Jiyue said, "I thought... it was because of what King Jing said that made you not want to see me."

Chu Qi thought to himself, it wasn't Jing Wang's words, but it had something to do with Jing Wang.At that time, Chu Jingzhong asked him to go to the prison to meet Luo Ji and his son, perhaps with the idea of ​​letting him stay away from the emperor.

... However, when he saw Liu Jiyue's tired face with his own eyes, such thoughts almost disappeared.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to be sleeping well. Why don't you use tranquilizers?" Chu Qi thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking.

Liu Jiyue said calmly: "It's useless if the dose is light, but if the dose is heavy, it will become more drowsy the next day, memory and state will deteriorate, and even addiction... Then it will really break down."

Chu Qi looked worried: "...But it doesn't seem to be an option to hold on."

"You are surrounded by new enemies, how can you sleep soundly?" Liu Jiyue laughed softly.

Chu Qi understood what he said.

King Jing specially abducted his youngest son from King Liang, saying that he wanted to adopt him as the prince.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an extremely absurd approach. The new emperor has only just reached his twenties, and his prime years will be long gone. He has no heirs because of the emptiness of the harem.King Jing is so impatient, it is inevitable that people will doubt his ambition.

Once there is a prince, the emperor is not so important.

It also seems reasonable to be unable to sleep because of worrying about it.

Chu Qi said softly: "Your Majesty can at least... have a Lin'er of your own first, which is better than adopting a prince. If the harem is empty, I heard that Princess Beiyong, who is about to enter the palace, is the number one beauty there. The appearance is very outstanding, Your Majesty—"

Liu Jiyue interrupted him: "Do you want me to marry Princess Beiyong?"

"..."

Chu Qi thought for a while, but he couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse, so he said with a sneer: "...Why not?"

Liu Jiyue looked at him quietly, as if trying to find a trace of insincerity in his expression, but Chu Qi's expression was sincere, without any falsehood.

He looked away silently.After a long time, he said calmly: "Do you know why Beiyong sent the princess to marry at this time?"

Chu Qi shook his head.

Beiyong has been negotiating peace with them for more than [-] years. In these years, although there have been frictions and turmoil on the border, in general, the local garrison can solve it on their own, and rarely need to report back to the central government. Fang is too disadvantaged.

If it is said that the friendship between the two countries is to be strengthened through marriage, it is reasonable, but I heard that the princess who came to marry is Beiyong Shanyu's favorite daughter. marry.Not to mention that he brought a generous dowry, even the guards along the way were sent by the prince himself, lowering his figure and giving them here as if to please them, as if he was afraid that they would not accept them.

After Liu Jiyue asked, she didn't give an answer immediately, but chuckled lightly, and said mysteriously: "You will know in a few days."

Chu Qi thought to himself, could it be that although Princess Beiyong is good-looking, she has a personality of a tigress, and the people of Beiyong sent her away because they couldn't bear it?And the flash of resistance in Liu Jiyue's expression was because she knew about it?

Suddenly, Chu Qi looked at him with sympathy.

But Liu Jiyue just didn't see his weird expression, so he ordered Chun Ya'er to add another chair for Chu Qi to sit beside him, Chu Qi refused in fear, but failed.

Liu Jiyue rested her arms on her head and looked at him sideways, "I will squint for a while, and Chu Qing will read it by herself."

Chu Qi: "..."

——Are you okay? !Although most of the royal cases are idle books, there are also many memorials! !Give me a snack! ! !

His brain collapsed and roared to the edge of his mouth, but only a soft breath remained.

Because he found that Liu Jiyue seemed to be asleep again.

——Really very tired.

But he seems very reassuring around him.

Chu Qi stared quietly at his sleeping face for a while, and after a long time he recovered, and waved to Chun Ya'er.

Chun Ya'er approached carefully.

Chu Qi paused word by word in a low voice: "You prove it to me, see clearly, I haven't touched anything on the imperial case!"
