He took off his jacket, and wordlessly draped it over Lian Qingzhi's shoulders. Lian Qingzhi lowered his head, and didn't dare to look straight into his eyes the entire time.
"Empress Liu wants Ginkou's Pickled Grass to treat his younger brother's lung disease, but Lord is not willing to offend Master Prince Yi. Tomorrow, if Lord lets you go to Ginkou, you can't accept it, you know?"
Zhou Jing's voice was light, with just a single sentence, he revealed all of the ins and outs of the matter.
Lian Qingzhi shook his head.
Zhou Jing looked at her and sighed. This woman was too stupid.
This woman was too stupid, she was probably the only one who did not know about the agreement between Lord and Lord Prince Yi.
To the Lord, she was nothing but a chess piece, but when this chess piece was set for the world, it had already lost its value.
The next day, in the imperial study, Xi Mohan was unhurriedly reviewing the imperial reports. Lian Qingzhi was kneeling there, and the sun had already risen from the east into the afternoon.
"Have you decided? I've made up my mind, pack up, and go to the Ginkou Prince Yi's place! " Xi Mohan indifferently threw the red brush to the side.
"Lord, Subordinate …" Lian Qingzhi stuttered as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Huh?" Ximen Han bit the end of his voice.
"This subordinate has obtained the Peregrine Grass, is it possible that I can come back?" Lian Qingzhi felt her inferiority, her entire body trembling.
Xi Mohan looked at the sunlight shining outside the window. After hesitating for a while, he said indifferently, "We will send someone to meet you in the dark!"
"Yes, Lord!"
In that moment, Lian Qingzhi's heart lit up.
When she brought along the grass and stood in front of Xi Mohan, Xi Mohan's expression was unsightly to the extreme.
"You, did you exchange anything with him?"
Lian Qingzhi glanced at Xi Mohan in astonishment, then quickly lowered his eyelids. Xi Mohan's expression darkened, he straightened his body, "It doesn't matter even if you don't say it, this empress will definitely find out!"
Two hours later.
Xi Mohan looked at the secret report in his hand and became extremely angry.
This disgraceful woman actually used his own heart five years later to make an exchange with the Prince Yi. Didn't she know that the Prince Yi's hobby was to collect a beauty's heart?
Even if she were to exchange her body for Prince Yi's, he wouldn't be so angry.
Xi Mohan tore off the secret report, and angrily kicked down the Eastern Depot door.
"Just as Lian Qingzhi sat up on the bed, he grabbed onto Xi Mohan's lower jaw," You have guts, you actually dared to use your own heart to exchange with the Prince Yi. Don't you know that after being nurtured by us for such a long time, your life is worth more than your body?
"Lord …" Lian Qingzhi's tears had fallen without any forewarning.
He tapped his index finger, trying to figure out a way to punish her.
I'm afraid I won't need to be afraid of that, all of the torture in Eastern Depot is just superficial wounds to her, what should I do with her? Kill her? He couldn't bear to part from her.
After a long while, he lowered his head and looked at Lian Qingzhi, "Lian Qingzhi heard the decree, from today onwards, excluding the title of first rank general, all military matters will be handed over to Zhou Jing, he will be conferred the title of concubine and enter the Flower Hall!"
Without any complicated ceremony, Lian Qingzhi moved her greetings from the Eastern Depot to the Flower Hall, and then transferred a few palace maids and eunuchs from the Inner Palace. Lian Qingzhi took off his heavy armor and put on a light muslin robe.
Long Piaopiao patted her hand, "Empress, you can't walk with a skirt in your hand."
Lian Qingzhi looked at Long Piaopiao with a slightly awkward expression and said woodenly, "But, he knows how to wrestle."
"Empress, you have to get used to it. A woman can't always ride a war horse while wearing armor." Long Piaopiao flattened the wrinkles on her face.
The eunuch raised his voice and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!"
