Chapter 120

Since the disappearance of Lu Jingyi, both the former dynasty and the back palace have been shrouded in a strange atmosphere. The only one that has not been affected is probably the emperor's bedroom.

It's rare that the emperor should have a happy mood when he heard that there was nothing wrong in the early court today and that the border was stable. However, the news of Bu Qingyi came at this time.

"She's back in the capital? Are you sure you heard me right? " Hearing the eunuch's report, the emperor's brow was deeply wrinkled, which showed how much he didn't like the name.

The eunuch bowed humbly: "it's true to return to the throne. Princess Qingxiang's return is quite high-profile. First, she rode into the city with a group of domestic servants before the curfew, and then she packed the biggest restaurant in the city, saying that she wanted to take care of herself. Now those people are still drinking in the tavern. It is said that several officials have come to congratulate them, and many courtiers are so angry that they stamp their feet. "

Although the emperor seems to be more biased towards Bu Qingyi in the resentment between Princess Yuyang and bu Qingyi, those smart courtiers can see that Bu Qingyi is not a princess to please the emperor. On the contrary, the emperor always shows his displeasure when he mentions her. Houjing's courtiers have long warned their children that they should not mix with Princess Qingxiang because they are good friends with anyone. However, most of the famous families have a disease called willful and reckless behavior. The more forbidden the elders are, the more willing they are to contact Bu Qingyi. Why do they want to live in her house? How can they miss such a grand banquet?

"It's no wonder that they are worried. That step of Qingyi is not a good stubble. It's too close to her. It's harmful but not beneficial." The Emperor gave a cold hum, but he looked calm. After a little thought, the emperor waved his hand: "you go to Linlang library to choose a jar of good wine. It's my will. Let them pour a pot and send it to the restaurant. It's my gift to Princess Qingxiang."

The eunuch answered and hesitated: "what does the emperor plan to do? If you don't go to the morning court for several days, you can't talk to other civil and military officials! "

"He's sick and dying." The emperor was rather impatient. "The old fox was afraid that Bu Qingyi would take his life. Before Bu Qingyi left the capital, he would not appear in the court."

"Well If Princess Qingxiang doesn't go back this time, will the king of Dongyang hide all his life? Lord, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. If you don't make a clear understanding of the troubles between the king of Dongyang, the king of Guangling, the princess Qingxiang and the son of the king of Dongyang, the people of the world will see the Royal jokes. "

The emperor's expression did not change much, but his heart became more agitated.

Bu Qingyi is Su Guangling's daughter in name. In fact, she is not related by blood. She makes a mess in the capital city, but as an emperor and insider, she can't blame Su Guangling. Mo GUI still bears the title of Dongyang King Shizi, but in fact, she has broken with Pei Zan. Pei Zan can guess that Mo GUI is not him from the relationship between their father and son My own flesh and blood.

The relationship between the two father and son is complex enough, but Mo GUI and bu Qingyi mix together again, and they also unite to deal with Pei Zan. What's more troubling to him is that Su Guangling, who always pursues the principle of keeping a low profile, is also involved in it, saying that this has nothing to do with him, and that he doesn't know. In fact? In private, he helped Bu Qingyi many times.

However, Su Guangling is as shrewd and cunning as Su Guangling. Even if he helps bu Qingyi, he can't help him, or he can't help him under the banner of righteousness.

The two princes and a couple of young people with good eyesight inevitably worried that the capital, which had been comfortable for many years, would be turned upside down by them.

Or, the whole world is in trouble.

"Zhou Ji, before the morning of tomorrow, you will spread the news that I have a sudden illness and need to rest in bed. The morning will be suspended, and when to resume will be decided separately. During this period, the court officials will not be interviewed for anything important. If the king of Dongyang comes to see you, you can put it in directly. But if the king of Guangling comes to see you, you can only tell him that I am seriously ill and can't see anyone, so you can send him back. "

For the first time, Zhou Ji had been a prison boy for six years. Zhou Ji didn't dare to ask any more questions, but resigned. When he got out of the dormitory, he didn't go directly to the library. Instead, he turned into the prison.

The prison is a place where some eunuchs rest and live. Because of the special status of eunuchs, there are a group of outsiders who want to talk to the inner palace or make some small moves almost every day. Ignoring the flattery and accosting from a group of people, Zhou Ji goes straight into the innermost room and whispers a few words in the ear of a young man in palace clothes. The man nodded frequently, then gave Zhou Ji a whole handful of bank notes and left in a hurry with joy.

There are innumerable such places in the magnificent imperial palace. The sky in the palace is not as cloudy or sunny as it is outside. It is full of clouds and thunder all the year round.

Even so, the palace of intrigue is far better than the place where Lu Jingyi was at this time.

If you stay in the dark for too long, even if a very weak light suddenly comes in, you will feel dazzling. Lu Jingyi tried to wring his stiff neck to avoid the light, but the light became wider and wider, almost occupying most of his field of vision, and there was no place to hide.

A tall figure appeared in the light, more or less alleviated Lu Jingyi's sore eyes and wanted to shed tears. The figure slowly came to Lu Jingyi, and then the light disappeared. Instead, a few candles appeared behind Lu Jingyi, flickering darkly."Your Highness's willpower is much stronger than I expected. I have to admit that I underestimated you at the beginning."

The man opened his mouth in a low voice, and his voice seemed to be in Lu Jingyi's ear. However, Lu Jingyi could see clearly that the man was standing a few steps away from himself, and his whole face was submerged in the darkness that could not be reflected by the candle light.

"Who are you? What do you want from me? " Lu Jingyi's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly recognize it.

A low sneer came, and the man seemed to have heard a joke: "His Royal Highness Jinwang is still so simple. The reason why a plot is a plot is that no one else knows. If I tell you everything about the plan, what kind of conspiracy is it? I'm not as conceited as Bu Qingyi. I think I'm smart enough to fight with others. "

Bearing the pain from all four limbs, Lu Jingyi clenched his fist and clenched his teeth: "if you dare to hurt her, I will never let you go!"

"King Jin's infatuation is really moving. No wonder Bu Qingyi didn't care for you, but he was willing to rush back to the imperial capital for you."

Two cold fingertips against Lu Jingyi's jaw, slightly forced him to raise his head. In the uncertain light, a ferocious black mask appeared in front of Lu Jingyi.

The mask did not know what material it was made of, and the smooth black was covered with a layer of cold luster, revealing an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"Don't you want to see what Bu Qingyi can do for you? I've been looking forward to it for a long time The man's tone was bewitching, with a few threads of madness in his mock tone. He stooped slightly to Lu Jingyi's ear, and his voice under the mask was slightly dull: "the good play is about to start, so I specially reserved a good place for his royal highness King Jin. Enjoy it quietly with me, your highness King Jin. The rotten Dynasty is about to be reborn in a pool of blood. "

Lu Jingyi did not ask him any more questions, but focused all his attention on his sense of smell.

He was kept in the dark for a long time, which made his hearing and sense of smell become acute. When the man approached, he could clearly smell a strange fragrance from the man.

It is a kind of thick with red sandalwood, but also a sweet smell of osmanthus, deep smell, long aftertaste, and will not make people feel choking.

Incense? Or the fragrance of the purse? Or some kind of spice?

"It seems that his royal highness Jinwang is still very spiritless. There is still some time to go before the performance. King Jin has a good rest. When Bu Qingyi has finished describing the mountains and rivers in my mind, I'll come back and take King Jin to see the final song. "

When the candle went out and the dazzling light appeared again, Lu Jingyi raised his head slightly.

"You're just Use her as a tool? "

"What else? King Jin thought that I did these things for her? " That person a light smile, insipid and misty, "the world is so big, her step green clothes is just a drop in the ocean, it's not worth me so much trouble.". Even King Jin, you are the same. In my chess game, you are just a piece that can be discarded at any time. "

Lu Jingyi closed his eyes and cut off all the light from his eyelids.

It's better to concentrate in the dark, and the long imprisonment has taught him how to think calmly. He remembered the special taste of the man and began to ponder the meaning of those words.

Do you play chess in the world?

Does this world refer to Xiping or the whole of Zhongzhou?

If this man doesn't talk big, then it's not just him and bu Qingyi who are in crisis, but the whole Communist Dynasty and even the whole Zhongzhou.

The question is, what kind of people, what kind of conspiracy, can set off such a huge wave? Why should we start with him and bu Qingyi?

After some consideration, a terrible idea suddenly appeared in Lu Jingyi's mind.

Temples and rivers and lakes are similar and different worlds. Bu Qingyi is used to wandering in the river and lake, while Mo GUI is used to two worlds. For many years, people who have been wandering between the two worlds, how to face the dignitaries to observe what they say and how to test the truth is something he doesn't like very much, but he is good at.

On the note Bu Qingyi gave him, he wrote the names of eight mansions. These eight families included important ministers of the imperial court, three dynasty elders, and princes and grandsons, among which the prince accounted for as many as four. As he is now, it is not appropriate to visit him, so Mogui chose his preferred way.

Sneaking in and spending money.

And facts have proved once again that the saying that money can make the devil push the mill is not nonsense.
