I was in a warm and solid embrace. I felt the burning pain on my back again. My mouth was sticky and sweet. I didn't know if it was his or mine. I heard Jing Yi calling me. I could hear him from afar or near, but I couldn't open my eyes. Then I heard him say,"Yanyan, go to sleep. It's okay."
When I woke up, Jing Yi was wearing clothes outside. I stood up and put on my shoes. After taking a few steps, I felt that my body was very soft and my breathing was not smooth. I had to lean against the door. Jing Yi turned around and saw me, so she waved her hand to send Cai An and the others out first.
I saw a group of people holding my official crown and remembered that I was going to represent the harem to send it off today. I hurriedly said,"Cai An!"
Cai An turned around and bowed to me.”
I said,"Go inform the Jinxi Palace that the concubines in the harem will be led by the Imperial Concubine."”
I paused for a moment and said,"Just say that I have an acute illness. It's very serious."”
Cai An didn't dare to reply and turned to Jing Yi.
Jing Yi was surprised, but she didn't say anything. She gestured for Cai An to do as he said, and Cai An left with his men.
" Yanyan," Jing Yi quickly supported me as soon as Cai An left." How are you?"”
I didn't answer. Instead, I tiptoed and pecked him on the lips. I smiled."You can finally call out this name. In the future, when there's no one around, you have to call me by this name, okay?”
It was such a simple move, but it still made me pant slightly. Seeing this, he couldn't hide his worry."Can you do it like this?"
I insisted on my question,"Alright?”
He smiled helplessly.”
I blinked and smiled brightly. Just as I was about to continue speaking, I saw Fu Hongyan suddenly push open the door and come in. He was rarely rude and rude. I don't know if it was an urgent matter or if no one outside had reported it. When he saw Jing Yi and me, he hurriedly lowered his head.
Jing Yi frowned and said in a reproachful tone,""What's wrong?"
" This humble servant was reckless. It was just a last-minute change that I urgently sought Your Majesty's approval." Fu Hongyan did not even raise his head." Half of the Imperial Guards were originally supposed to go out with the army. Now, I wonder if we should leave more people in the palace?"”
"No need!" I spoke before Jing Yi could." Take all the people you can. We don't even need half of them.”
Fu Hongyan was stunned and looked at Jing Yi like Cai An. Jing Yi nodded at him."Yes."
At this time, I asked Fu Hongyan,"If you go, who will be in charge of the palace?"”
"Commander Guo Zhaolin was previously in charge of guarding the Kun Yi Palace."”
" Oh." I nodded." Tell him to stay away from me. Don't worry."”
Seeing that the two of them were surprised, I smiled."The emperor isn't here, I'm the most powerful in the palace. If anyone comes to find trouble with me again, I'll go on a killing spree.”
After Fu Hongyan left, I looked up at Jing Yi innocently."Can we start a massacre?"
Jing Yi narrowed her eyes.
" Don't worry, I said I won't go with you. I will stay in the palace obediently." I lowered my head and smiled." Besides, I can't do anything for three to five days like this. How can I expect you to protect me when the time comes?"”
After standing and talking for a while, she felt that she was getting more and more soft, so she leaned more than half of her weight on his arm and said indifferently,"Jing Yi, I fell in love with you when I was seven and joined you when I was thirteen. It's been five years since then. You've always been my dream and responsibility. Every time you said you didn't want me, I was scared to death and insisted on going with you.”
"But I can't go now. I think there's something wrong with the palace. This time, it's obviously targeting the imperial concubine. If I go after her, it's hard to guarantee that the Rong family will not be able to get away with it. If that happens, the culprit will definitely give themselves away.”
"I'm not going with you. Remember to protect yourself."”
There's one more thing that I didn't say. It's been so many times, but it's always related to Qingcheng. The matter that Gu Mianmian promised me to investigate was left unsettled. Later on, I thought that getting rid of Noble Xu would make me feel at ease. I think I was too careless.
" I think I should tell you that things aren't as simple as you think. Don't do anything on your own and wait for me to come back." Jing Yi lowered her head and hugged me tightly. Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and affection." But I don't think you'll listen, so I'll just tell you to be careful."”
" Yes," I smiled, very satisfied with his answer." It's almost time. There are so many people waiting outside. Let's go."”
"I want to sleep for a while more."”
However, he refused to cooperate. Instead, he reached out and pressed on the acupuncture point on my waist. My body immediately went limp. He carried me horizontally and placed me on the bed. He pressed on the acupuncture point on my shoulder and looked at me deeply."Go to sleep and wait for me to come back."
I smiled and closed my eyes. The last thing I felt was him leaning over and planting a kiss on my lips.
She fell asleep peacefully, as if she could see that he was back the moment she opened her eyes.
Although Jing Yi had a hundred thousand soldiers, only a dozen generals and a few hundred imperial guards were taken away from the capital. However, without these people, the entire capital felt much quieter. I waited quietly in the palace for half a month, but there was no movement. Rong Cheng only sent a few private letters to ask about my illness, but there was nothing unusual. The palace also didn't find any trace of Qingcheng.
The Imperial Concubine had always been proud of herself for being able to send Jing Yi off on my behalf. She felt that Jing Yi valued the Xue family and that she was becoming more and more arrogant in the harem. The Empress Dowager didn't care, so Concubine Ning was naturally no match for her.
All of this can only make me conclude that she really has nothing to do with Shi Qing.
So, I finally made a trip to Qingcheng.
Qingcheng was also ridiculously quiet. There weren't many people in the entire Windward Pavilion. After asking, she found out that it was because of a water transport dispute that involved several big sects. First, the Shuo Jin Hall had rushed to the south, and later on, the other halls had also sent people to support them. In the end, even Gong Huai Ming had personally gone.
I hesitated for a moment, but I still found Tang Jie and Lan Shan and told them about the things and suspicions I found in the palace.
Lan Shan frowned and said nothing, while Tang Jie said with a serious expression,"" Recently, Qingcheng has indeed been acting strangely. It seems like something is going on, but I can't figure it out. The officials in the capital gathered because they were afraid that someone would not be able to resist the temptation. Shen Lin has investigated several times but to no avail. I originally wanted to keep an eye on Huai Ming and Xiao Li personally to investigate thoroughly. In the end, as soon as Jing Yi left, the water transport incident took up a lot of manpower.”
I nodded and asked Tang Jie,"Do you need me to go to the South?"”
Qingcheng had a lot of people and a lot of power, and there were many branches. In recent years, it had been developing very quickly and involved a lot of people, so it was inevitable that there would be local disputes. In the past, Lei Yingtang and Gong Huaiming would be the ones to mediate these kinds of things. When there were people who wanted to make things difficult for Qingcheng because she didn't want to bear the reputation of bullying others, it was mostly me who would make a trip there. I didn't really have to kill them. Usually, when they heard that Luoying had arrived, those who could play around would naturally know to stop while they were ahead.
In the past year, Luo Ying's disappearance had caused all sorts of speculations. Some said that he had been captured by the imperial court, some said that he was dead, and there were even people who wanted to become famous overnight. They openly stood up and said that he was the one who destroyed Qingcheng's totem.
I didn't explain anything, and Qingcheng wouldn't say anything either. However, I still caused some trouble, and it was still unknown whether or not Qingcheng would lose face because of this. No matter what, I had indeed failed my duty for too long.
" No need." Tang Jie smiled." I'll go. I have something to investigate."”
I was about to say something when Lanshan said,"You should guard the palace well. It's better to be more cautious in this situation.”
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't know what Lanshan suspected, but I couldn't get anything out of her. However, it was rare for the two of them to agree, so I could only nod.
When I left, I went to look for Xiao Li. He was very happy to see me and said that he had not seen me for a long time. He asked about my recent situation. I only told him not to interfere with the matters of the Windward Pavilion in the near future. No matter what, the main elites of the Reverse Water Hall should stay in the capital and wait for orders.
A few days after I returned to the palace, news from the front lines began to arrive. There were reports of great victories almost every day, causing the Imperial Palace and even the capital to be in jubilation. Just a month after Jing Yi's personal expedition, I received news that the army was about to return victorious.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
