Chapter 60

In the palace where dawn is coming, many palace maids and eunuchs begin their day's work early. Lu Jingyi and Wei Yu walk side by side from the imperial palace of Beiya. Wei Yu still has a sleeping little girl on his back. He looks back at the girl from time to time, which is very different from his unsophisticated image of Gao Leng.

"Just let her go? "No investigation?" Wei Yu looked straight ahead.

Lu Jingyi sighed: "there's no need to investigate. After all, the people she cleaned up recently do have problems. The emperor summoned me to say this before. It probably means that it's not a bad thing that some moths can be removed by external force. You can choose to turn a blind eye. "

Wei Yu didn't know whether he understood the emperor's deep meaning, just a faint hum.

He rubbed his forehead, but his voice was still hoarse: "it's not the way to let her go on like this. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor thought that he had a lot of problems with the Ministry of war, so he brought it down. But If next time, next time, the person that Bu girl wants to deal with is the one that the emperor wants to protect, then how should I deal with it? Was she convicted of acting selflessly and according to the rules? Or support her so-called justice, openly against the emperor? I always feel that if I stay in the middle like this, sooner or later I will go crazy. "

"She's not who you are, is she worth it?"

Wei Yu's seemingly careless question accurately hit his friend's pain point, so that Lu Jingyi didn't know what expression he could show except a bitter smile.

Feeling the little girl moving on his back, Wei Yu immediately slowed down. He didn't dare to move until the little girl fell asleep again.

"She's not bad in nature, at least she's compassionate. It is probably for the imperial court to find a way to settle the child that Yu Shangshu was handed over to the Ministry of officials. " Wei Yu looked at the rising sun in the East, and his tone was somewhat dull, "but such a person can easily become a tool, right? The reason why he tolerated it so far... "

In the middle of the conversation, they both understood the meaning of the inconvenience.

The emperor who has been in charge of the world for nearly 20 years on the Dragon chair is not a fatuous tyrant, but not a wise one. Because of his suspicious personality, there were always several courtiers who made him feel bad, but he couldn't find the right reason. At this time, if someone could pick out the thorn in his eye, it would be perfect for the emperor.

For example, hands and feet are not clean all the time, and they are often played by ginseng in the Ming Dynasty. For another example, it can get rid of Bu Qingyi, which was in Ming Dynasty and didn't need the emperor's mouth.

In fact, just as Wei Yu and Lu Jingyi speculated, the emperor did not ask to track down the mysterious people who wantonly committed murders in the Ming Dynasty's mansions after he got the news. Instead, he asked the Ministry of official affairs to thoroughly investigate all kinds of crimes in the Ming Dynasty, and did not mention a series of assassinations against peizan's party members.

"It seems that the emperor is not too stupid. He knows that the Lord is helping him clean up the door."

In a small but exquisitely decorated mansion in jingyangfang, Cui Fang is wiping the dried blood from the dagger. He looks a little excited.

Qin Chuan was also on the scene. He leaned against the door with his shoulders in his arms and didn't agree with Cui Fang's words: "what is not too stupid? The emperor's ingenuity can't be matched even if we are a group of people together, otherwise Pei Zan would have planned to usurp the throne in these years. "

Bu Qingyi held his cheek and was bored: "there's nothing wrong with that. I have been in contact with the emperor before, and I feel that he is the kind of person with clear mind. I think Pei Zan and other courtiers can't escape his eyes. But he's too headstrong and self righteous, and he's full of calculation. He's not likable at all. "

"The emperor can't be a good man. Look at those princes and princes. No matter how close they were when they were young, they will have their own ghosts when they grow up. After all, the throne is a terrible curse that can make brothers kill each other. "

Absentmindedly listening to Qin Chuan's words, bu Qingyi was slightly absent-minded.

She suddenly realized that she knew little about Lu Jingyi, not even as much as Wei Yu, and that he was too honest, such as the rivalry between brothers. She never heard him mention it.

"Brother Chuan, I've heard that the prince seems to be a waste? What about King Jin? "

He nodded: "the prince's virtue and ability are really worrying. Pei Zan also mentioned that the emperor has a lot of dissatisfaction with the prince. It seems that he has a plan to oust and reestablish the prince, but he has not taken action yet. As for the king of Jin, he has a very good reputation in the marketplace. He seems to be a man of all aspects, but he has never shown his intention to fight for the throne before

Bu Qingyi didn't care much about the affairs of those temples. He turned his lips and didn't think much of them.

She just had such an immature idea that if Lu Jingyi became emperor, maybe the world would be more peaceful, rather than the present kind of thin paper with false prosperity.

"Lord of the pavilion," after he buttoned the door three times, a son of Luan Xue Pavilion gently pushed the door open and put his head in. "Someone asked for help at the door. That man claimed to be king Jin."

Talk about Cao Cao, but what does Lu Jingyi come here to do?

Bu Qingyi winked at Qin Chuan, then went to the front of the house alone and welcomed Lu Jingyi into the house.Lu Jingyi looked very worried. Before he reached the front hall, he grabbed Bu Qingyi and said in a hurry: "in the early court today, more than a dozen courtiers came together to admonish the emperor, asking the Ministry of officials, Dali temple and Jingzhao house to assist in investigating a pile of cases that happened before, so as to determine whether they were related to you. Step girl, listen to my advice, the situation has reached such a point, you will be very dangerous if you continue to be willful! "

Under the pear blossom trees, bu Qingyi stopped and joked: "King Jin is in a hurry to tell me this? I thought you had a crush on some girl. Come to me and help me with matchmaking! "

"This is not the time to joke!" Lu Jingyi seems to be in a hurry. He can't care any more about the etiquette. He grabs Bu Qingyi's shoulder with both hands and shakes it. "You don't know how dangerous it is to touch the interests of Pei Zan's party members, not to mention the anger of the emperor!"

Lu Jingyi is not a weak scholar. His hands are quite powerful. If he were an ordinary woman, he would have been screaming in pain for a long time. Bu Qingyi naturally felt the pain. She didn't say a word. She just gently pushed his hand away. When she looked at him, there was less heat in her eyes.

"Do you think I know nothing? Or do you think I don't know what kind of person your emperor's father is? " She raised her lips, but with a cold smile, "Lu Jingyi, you look down on me. You probably don't know as much about the emperor as I do, and you certainly don't know as early as I do. "

Lu Jingyi was shocked: "what do you mean by that?"

Bu Qingyi didn't intend to mention these things. Just now, she was just in a hurry to say something, and then she regretted it. She softened her face and shook her head: "it doesn't mean anything. I'm bullshit. You think I'm farting."

"Don't try to hide it from me. You have a secret in your heart." Without an answer, Lu Jingyi is naturally unwilling. However, he looked at his clear eyes for a moment, and then he was defeated: "I I'm not forcing you. I'm just half talking. I'm really uncomfortable. "

Bu Qingyi chuckled: "can you be more honest? How did Dunhou grow up in the struggle for power? "

Lu Jingyi also smiles, but her smile is not as clear as her, mixed with bitterness.

"Yes, I'll tell you, OK? Don't show me that look. It's like I'm bullying you. " Bu Qingyi hesitated a little and raised her chin toward the front hall. "Let's go, drink and talk."

Wine.

Bu Qingyi once thought that she was the second thing in her life that she couldn't live without except Gu Zhaoxi.

When she just came out of the ice coffin, she was so lonely that she couldn't bear it. So she knew that drinking was not good for her body, which was still damaged by the residual poison.

Then she figured it out.

At that time, it was just a matter of drinking to relieve one's worries, blind to the mellow flavor of wine and slightly drunk comfort. Nowadays, she no longer regards wine as a thing to relieve her worries. With the same amount of wine, she is not easy to get drunk.

Looking at Bu Qingyi pouring the wine into her throat one after another, Lu Jingyi wants to stop her, but she knows that she won't listen to her words at all, so she has to give up with a sigh.

After a half full drink, bu Qingyi opened his mouth.

Emperor Lu Zhaohui may have thought that she was in prison and asked to be present. That was the first time they met.

Not really.

"The first time I saw the emperor was in Wait, I'll figure it out. " Bu Qingyi pinched his fingers and said, "Oh, yes, eighteen years ago. I was just fourteen years old

Eighteen years ago.

Fourteen years old.

In other words, if she hadn't frozen in the ice coffin, she would be 32 years old now?

Lu Jingyi's expression was slightly wonderful for a while.

Bu Qingyi only drank, his eyes fell on the surface of the glass, and he didn't notice the change of his expression. With the fragrance of wine, she recalled the past events related to Gu Chaoxi.

When I first met the emperor Lu Zhaohui, she was still a semi skilled killer, and Gu's feelings for her were not so complicated. She remembers clearly that the task was very important, so all the seven murders were sent out, and Qin Chuan took her, who was not so skilled.

Six miles to the west of the capital, there were more than 60 corpses lying on the post road, including five members of the imperial doctor's family who voluntarily resigned from office and returned home. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, about the age of the eldest daughter of the censor. She could not be indifferent to the beautiful girl lying pale in a pool of blood.

In front of Gu Chaoxi's face, she took off the gauze and held Qinchuan in her arms. And the man stood beside Gu Chaoxi, his mouth full of ironic jokes.

"Is this the top killer of luanshuege? It's a shame that a few people die and spit like this. "

At that time, she was so angry that she wanted to retort, but she was so disheartened that she vomited until the man rode away. And with him to leave, and Gu Zhaoxi's brother, Gu Feng smile.

So she had no trouble guessing who the man was.

***Lu Zhaohui, the king of a country in the Qing Dynasty.
