Return of the Swallow

Are you from the Queen Mother? Li Qitian rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes were slightly green, obviously he hadn't slept well in the past two days.

Ji Zeyu cupped his hands and responded: Yes.

rare. Li Qitian closed his eyes and kept kneading his eyebrows. The jade ring on his thumb was glowing with a fluorescent green matte, but what ridiculous thing did Lan'er do?

Ji Zeyu said bluntly: I am leaving for Prince Zhongshun’s affairs.

oh? As soon as the movements of his hands stopped, Li Qitian suddenly opened his eyes, first surprised that Ji Zeyu actually spoke frankly.

Ji Zeyu said: I am afraid that the Queen Mother will starve people to death. Before the case was settled, the person was tortured to death, which was detrimental to the reputation of the Tian family.

When Li Qitian heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. It's rare for you to be so honest. You are right. Even if the Qin family plots to murder the emperor's heir, it is not appropriate to starve him to death before beheading or hanging, lest I lose my words. You did very well.

Ji Zeyu said: I don't dare to take it seriously. , then seemed not to be concerned about this matter at all, and reported another matter.

Although everything is fine for me in Beijing. However, the capital city is peaceful and there are no soldiers and horses to train. The minister is not used to living there, so he wants to ask for an order to go to the northern border to guard it, so as to prevent the Tatars from spying secretly and invading the border again.

Hey, you, you are clearly not a person who enjoys your life. Li Qitian smiled and waved his hand, stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back, walked around the desk to Ji Zeyu, and patted him on the shoulder.

I just see that you have been fighting all year round, and you are becoming more and more boring when you are with the big guys in the army all day long. If nothing else, look at Pang Zhixi, now he has a son, and look at me, after so many years of fighting, now I also have a legitimate son. You should also think about the important things in life.

Li Qitian blinked, smiled again and said: Oh, I also know that Lan'er went too far. But you should have a legitimate son. As long as you have a legitimate son, and you have as many concubines and maids as you want, I will no longer interfere and will control Lan'er.

In the Northern Hebei Kingdom, concubines or court guests were not allowed to take concubines or have a common room with each other.

However, he allowed Ji Zeyu to take a concubine, and the only condition was to give birth to a legitimate son with Li Helan. This was already an extra favor from him.

Of course Ji Zeyu understood what Li Qitian meant, smiled and said: I obey the order.

Li Qitian patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder again with satisfaction, "I also know your grievances." But as a man, building a career is the most important thing, and you can't put your mind on the love between your children. How many trustworthy women can there be? For example, take Pang Zhixi, look at him, without the disaster caused by the Qin family, how could Pang Zhixi have made so many mistakes?

Li Qitian's voice was full of sarcasm. Pang Zhixi resisted the order and was disrespectful because of her, and he also trained in private because of her. I think this woman should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent Pang Zhixi from making the same mistake again and again.

Ji Zeyu said expressionlessly: This is the Holy One's decision. The fingers hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but twist.

Li Qitian glanced at Ji Zeyu, smiled with satisfaction, and then said seriously: As for the Qin family's intention to harm the emperor's heir, it is really difficult for me to handle. Although she committed such evil deeds, Pang Zhixi is my sworn brother after all, and the bond we shared in conquering the world together is still there. If I don't handle this matter smoothly, I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between the brothers and make outsiders gossip about me.

When Ji Zeyu heard this, his heart became cold.

The Holy One had no intention of investigating and had already been convicted. It seemed that Qin was bound to die.

He lowered his head and said: What does the Holy Spirit mean?

I plan to invite the nobles and family members who conquered the world together to come and bear witness. After all, we conquered the world together, and Pang Zhixi is not an outsider. If his daughter-in-law does such a thing, I can't bear to hand over the Qin family to the Clan Mansion or the Third Division. I want to deal with it personally in front of my own family, which can be regarded as an explanation to Pang Zhixi.

Ji Zeyu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The Holy One is wise.

Ha ha! Li Qitian's hearty smile, I know you understand my dilemma.

Ji Zeyu remained silent.

But Li Qitian knew Ji Zeyu's temperament and knew that he was not a person like Pang Xiao, who was accustomed to talking about people and ghosts. Although such people are indifferent, they are more reliable.

Li Qitian and Ji Zeyu chatted a few more irrelevant words and then left.

As soon as the person left, the smile on Li Qitian's face immediately faded. He unconsciously took off the ring finger and put it on again. After repeating it several times, he said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone."

In the blink of an eye, a man in black hiding in the darkness jumped out.

Your Majesty.

Go and follow Duke Dingguo and see what he does.

yes.

The man in black bowed his hands, blinked and hid in the shadows.

After Li Qitian sat back on the imperial desk, he put his hands on the table and murmured for a long time: Ji Lan.

After Ji Zeyu left the palace, he immediately returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

He locked himself in the study and didn't go out for a long time.

When the sky gradually darkened, he came back to his senses from his long meditation, and happened to have his entourage gently knock on the door.

My lord, dinner is here.

Um.

After hearing Ji Zeyu's permission, the attendant ordered someone to bring the food box in and place it neatly on the table.

Ji Zeyu looked at the steaming food, but couldn't work up his appetite.

Mr. Guo, you have been stuck in your room all afternoon. You don't want to eat anything, so at least you should eat something.

Ji Zeyu still sat with a solemn expression and said nothing.

The attendant advised: "My lord, you have tried your best." Don't take it to heart.

Ji Zeyu just shook his head, his handsome face seemed to be filled with frost, Qin was bound to die.

The entourage was shocked, the Duke of the country

Ji Zeyu shook his head, picked up the bowl, and ate slowly, but he couldn't taste the food.

He tried his best, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't care about Qin's life or death, but he could imagine how sad Pang Xiao would be and what crazy things he would do.

After all, it is the lovers who are hurt the most in this world. In comparison, the heartless person above has an easy life.

Nanyan Palace at the same time.

Yuchi Xujie held the wine cup and said with a smile: "That Prince Zhongshun looks at me a little too dirty." Although I have taken over the power of Nanyan, I still have not forgotten who Dayan Zhengtong is. He thought that after chasing you and driving you to Nanyan, I would kill you just to be a legitimate emperor?

As he spoke, Yuchi Xujie smiled, put his wine cup close to Yuchi Yan's, and clinked glasses with him.

Your Majesty, I offer you a toast.

Yuchiyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How am I still an emperor?" Now you are the emperor of Nanyan, and I am just a lost dog, driven away like a beast by Pang Zhixi. The old capital has been completely controlled by Pang Zhixi, and I really have no place to stay.

Yuchiyan has lost a lot of weight, his cheeks are sunken and his chin is covered with stubble, and his temples are a little whiter. He looks ten years older.

Yuchi Xujie sighed, Your Majesty, don't worry, even if we lose the old capital, it doesn't matter. Sooner or later we can regain the lost territory and restore the Yan Dynasty. As long as you nod, I will immediately give up my throne and be willing to surrender and support the orthodoxy.

I know your loyalty. Yuchiyan sighed movedly and drank all the wine in the wine cup.

Yuchi Xujie also raised his head, drank the wine, and then personally held the white porcelain pot and poured a cup for Yuchi Yan.

The two of them exchanged cups and exchanged cups, talking to each other intimately, and they were no different from ordinary people.

The pot of wine quickly reached the bottom. Both Yuchi Xujie and Yuchi Yan were drinking and their faces were flushed. Yuchi Xujie stood up and ordered unsteadily: "Come on, come on, serve the wine!"

Unexpectedly, no one in the palace responded, and no one came in according to the order.

Yuchi Xujie blinked his dim eyes hard and raised his voice again: Someone is coming!

Still no response.

Yuchi Xujie was unhappy and strode towards the door to call for someone.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of my heart. The pain was unprecedented. Yuchi Xujie was simply unbearable. When he lowered his head, he saw the tip of a knife on his chest. Blood was pouring out from the knife edge, staining his light yellow robe.

Yuchi Xujie slowly turned back in disbelief, "You

Yuchi Yan panicked and loosened his blood-stained hands, and the dagger remained on Yuchi Xujie's body.

His eyes were exceptionally bright. In addition to fear, there was more of a bloodthirsty madness and resentment in his eyes.

You made an appointment with someone with a code word, right? If the jug is empty and I need to add more wine, I will call someone to kill me in the next moment. Then you can be the emperor of the Yan Dynasty in an upright manner, right?

You, little, little person! Yuchi Xujie vomited blood, could no longer hold on and fell in a pool of blood.

Villain? Hey Yuchi Yan looked at Yuchi Xujie's widened eyes, with a cry in her voice, "Everyone of you wants to harm me, I am no longer the emperor, I have nothing left, but you all refuse to let me go!" Gu Lao Aiqing is right, you all deserve to die, deserve to die!

Yuchiyan wiped his hands on his robe with trembling hands, turned around, grabbed his cloak, put it on, and was about to go out through the back door of the side hall. Gu Shixiong has already arranged manpower to support him outside. To regain the throne, he must make a long-term plan. Just as Gu Shixiong said, Yuchi Xujie took his lover to the palace alone in order to kill him. He must strike first to keep it. life.

Yuchiyan's mind was in a mess and he had no clue. The fear of being chased by the Pingnan Army all the way finally burst out when he picked up the knife, and his steps became more and more messy.

As soon as he walked out of the back door, Yuchiyan suddenly heard an exclamation coming from inside the house,

ah! Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been assassinated!

When Yuchiyan heard this, he immediately panicked. When he went down the steps, he walked too fast and almost tripped. He quickened his pace and walked quickly through the palace, which was lined with trees and winding paths.

Fortunately, this palace was just a villa where the royal family used to live when they were traveling. It did not occupy a large area and was not lined with high walls like the previous palaces of Zhou Dynasty or Yan Dynasty. It was not difficult for him to get out.

Avoiding people along the way, when the screams of the emperor being assassinated became more and more frightening and confusing behind him, Yuchiyan had already walked out of the side door and saw Gu Shixiong and his party who came to meet him.

As soon as he saw Yu Chiyan coming out, Gu Shixiong hurriedly greeted him with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how are you?" Is it done?

It’s done, it’s done, let’s go!

Yuchiyan nodded in panic and hurriedly got into the carriage.

At this moment, an unexpected voice suddenly said: Success? What happened to King Zhennan? Come and talk to me.
