No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 228 Scars Are Men's Medals!

There was a long silence in the study.

"Ji Rong?" I don't know how long it took before Xie Yan said, "Mr. Song has contact with him?"

Song Wenyue smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, only to hear Song Wenyue say: "Nine years ago."

Xie Yan was not in a hurry, and still made a gesture of listening attentively.

Song Wenyue seemed to be remembering something, and after a while he said slowly: "My lord also knows that although I am not imprisoned in the black prison like the son of the Cui family in the Qi clan, I can't move freely, and the people I can meet are very rare. Limited. The ninth prince of the Qi clan has been weak and sick since he was a child. Bai Jingrong is busy fighting with the queen of the Qi clan and other nobles of the Qi clan all day long. Such a son is a burden to her. I was extremely injured during that time Seriously, Bai Jingrong was afraid that I would die, so he moved me out of the prison to recuperate for a month, and it was during that month that I met the Ninth Prince."

Xie Yan knew that the royal court of the Qi clan was no bigger than the imperial city of Shangyong. To put it bluntly, the entire royal court of the Qi clan might not be as big as the inner city of Shangyong.

Although the royal family no longer lives in tents, the area of ​​the palace is not large.

However, the royal family also likes to have children very much, so besides the four sons born to the queen and Bai Jingrong, King Qi Ji Sui also has seven sons and five daughters under her knees.Ji Sui himself has six or seven living brothers, and with the addition of these people's descendants and other offshoots, the living environment is really cramped.

Why do foreigners always want to invade the Central Plains?Because the land outside the customs is indeed not as rich as the land in the Central Plains.The life of those princesses from other races outside the pass may not be as good as that of the second-rate noble daughters in the Central Plains.

Therefore, even if Song Wenyue is a prisoner, it is not difficult to meet Ji Rong.

"Nine years ago? Ji Rong was still a child." Xie Yan said.

Song Wenyue nodded and said: "That's right. The internal strife among the royal family of the Qi clan is even worse than that in the Central Plains. Bai Jingrong is also a foreigner. He is devoted to the two sons of Ji Zhan and Ji Qing, and he hardly pays attention to Ji Rong. If so, Ji Zhan and Ji Qing have been assassinated at least five times, but Ji Rong has been able to grow up to this day safely. How many children like this have you seen?"

Xie Yan was silent, he had also seen intrigues among concubines and princes in the palace in his early years.

After pondering for a while with downcast eyes, Xie Yan asked, "What did Mr.... tell him that month?"

Song Wenyue smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just looked at the poor boy and told him a few ways to save his life."

Life-saving way?Xie Yan chewed these words a little bit playfully, and raised his eyes to look at Song Wenyue with some meaning.

Song Wenyue was very calm, "At that time, I really just felt sorry for that child."

He wasn't so mad that he even wanted to take advantage of a child who was only a few years old, not to mention that he himself was in jail, who knew if he would have a chance to get out?At that time, if the chess pieces were cultivated, the uncertainty was too high.To be discovered by Bai Jingrong would be a catastrophe.

It's just that after he came out, he found that the growth of the Ninth Prince seemed to be quite gratifying.

Xie Yan nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, sir, and I will consider it carefully. It's just... It's not a fake that Ji Rong is weak, and I'm afraid it won't last long."

Song Wenyue stood up and bid farewell, only leaving a faint sentence, "Does the prince really expect him to rule the Qi clan and live in peace for a long time?"

Watching Song Wenyue leave, Xie Yan pondered for a moment before chuckling.

Yes, no one wants the Qi clan to live in peace for a long time.

He just needs someone to stabilize the Qi people temporarily, so that they don't go crazy and make trouble for Dasheng, and don't make peace with the Yin people in the west.

When he frees his hands, the blood debts of these years will eventually be recovered.

When Xie Yan saw Song Wenyue, Luo Junyao was not idle either.

Hearing from the steward that Yu Mingqiu came back from the outside a little bit out of his wits, he shut himself up when he entered the room and didn't see anyone.The steward was afraid that something might happen, so he hurriedly came to report to the prince and concubine.

Xie Yan and Song Wenyue obviously had important matters to discuss, so Luo Junyao followed the steward to find out.

Hearing Xie Yan tell about Yu Mingqiu's deeds, Luo Junyao still admires this once unparalleled general.

What happened to him is even more regrettable.

During these years of being trapped in the Qi clan, he was separated from his relatives, not to mention suffering severe physical and mental injuries, and even wasting the best years of his life.He was also the person most trusted by the late emperor, otherwise he would not have been in charge of the secret guard just a few years older than Xie Yan.If these years hadn't been wasted, he would have achieved fame and power by now.

Luo Junyao came to the courtyard where Yu Mingqiu was temporarily staying, and sure enough, the door was closed tightly, and the people sent by the palace to take care of him could only guard outside the door helplessly.

"What's going on?" Luo Junyao asked.

The attendant whispered: "My lord ordered that we don't have to ask where General Yu wants to go. General Yu didn't take anyone with him when he went out this morning..."

Luo Junyao waved his hand to signal them to back down, stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly, "General Yu, can I bother you?"

It was quiet inside, and just when Luo Junyao thought that the people inside were not going to respond, he heard footsteps.

A moment later, the closed door was pulled open from the inside, and Yu Mingqiu stood at the door and looked down at her, "Princess?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I'm bothering the general."

Yu Mingqiu was silent for a while, and said: "No, Wangfei please come in."

Yu Mingqiu turned sideways to let Luo Junyao in. After Luo Junyao entered, he found that all the windows in the room were tightly closed.There was no light on, so even though it was broad daylight, the room was inevitably dimly lit.

Yu Mingqiu didn't seem to think it was enough, and retreated to the darkest corner of the room after Luo Jun shook the door.

Luo Jun shook his eyes across the scar on his face, and he understood it somewhat.

"Princess, please sit down."

Luo Junyao thanked him, sat down at the table, and asked, "Did the general go home today?"

The corners of Yu Mingqiu's lips curled up with some difficulty, neither admitting nor denying.

Luo Jun said: "The general has returned from calamity, so he should go home as soon as possible to have a look. It's been so long, it's chilling."

Luo Junyao also had some understanding of Yu Mingqiu's family background. There was an account book in Jingyuan that had nothing to do with the accounts of the Chu Palace. All the accounts were taken from Xie Yan's private treasury, and the account book was sorted out by Jingyuan's steward.

Among them, a considerable amount of money is given to the family members of some people under Xie Yan's command who have either died or disappeared, or who are performing tasks but cannot disclose their identities.

Among them were Yu Mingqiu's family members.

Yu Mingqiu is an orphan and has no parents.

But he has a wife, Roche.

Luo Shi came from a scholarly family, and when she married Yu Mingqiu, her family was already in ruins. Both of her parents died, but the two had similar identities and family backgrounds.

It's just that Luo Shi is a weak woman after all, and Yu Mingqiu has a sensitive identity as a secret guard of the royal family.Therefore, she didn't know her husband's true identity, and only thought that Yu Mingqiu was an ordinary little lieutenant.

After Yu Mingqiu disappeared outside the pass, the late emperor sent people out of the pass to search for him, and at the same time sent people to take care of Luo Shi in secret.After the late emperor passed away, these matters naturally fell on Xie Yan. Xie Yan sent people to send some money and food every month in the name of comforting the fallen soldiers.

Yu Mingqiu once said that if he couldn't come back, he hoped his wife could find someone else to marry.

Xie Yan also ordered the following, if Luo Shi intends to remarry, he will give her a dowry for Yu Mingqiu.It's just that Luo Shi has been alone all these years, but he has never used this dowry.

Luo Junyao heard from the steward that the Prince Regent's House had secretly made connections for Luo Shi in such a way that his identity could not be detected, but she rejected them all.

In this way, Luo Shi probably does have deep feelings for her husband, or does not believe that he has died in battle.

Now that Yu Mingqiu went out for a trip, he didn't seem to be reunited with his wife, obviously there was still some concern in his heart.

Yu Mingqiu looked up at Luo Junyao, and asked after a long while: "Princess, if... the prince has not heard from him for nearly ten years, and he becomes a useless person after he comes back, do you... want to see him again?"

"..." What kind of Shura field problem is this?

Yu Mingqiu asked: "Is it hard to answer?"

Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, and said: "It's not difficult to answer, I just think... If I say that I miss him all the time, no matter how long I look forward to him coming back without any regrets, and continue to live with me without any grievances, You certainly don't believe it."

Yu Mingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Actually, I don't believe it either."

"..."

Luo Junyao said: "Well, let's analyze the specific issues in detail? If you really have such deep feelings that you must rely on him no matter what, even if you wait for a lifetime without complaining, then naturally I will be happy when he comes back. If ...As time passed, the relationship gradually faded, but there was always a relationship, and I still hope that he can come back well. Let's talk about the rest later?"

Yu Mingqiu seemed to find this idea very interesting, and asked, "Which kind is the princess?"

Luo Junyao thought for a while and said: "I will probably try my best to prevent this kind of thing from happening. If it inevitably happens, I will try my best to find him back. If you can't find him, just live your life well. As for what you want I know... I don't know either, maybe I will wait for a lifetime, maybe it will pass after a long time."

Yu Mingqiu was silent for a long time, before he slowly said: "Wangfei said this, isn't it afraid that the prince will be sad?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and smiled, "If he knows that I'm not reliable, he will try his best not to let this happen. I will try my best to do what I can, but everyone has different standards for their efforts. General Yu It may be sad to use me to trap others. Isn't the current situation, Madam is still waiting for you? You should go back and face her, whether it is to ask her to forgive her for staying together for the rest of her life or to be safe, instead of Sitting here and dodging questions."

Yu Mingqiu took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wangfei is right, I'm the one with the picture."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I heard from the lord that General Yu's unparalleled bravery made countless nights shy, so he shouldn't be too timid to be close to his hometown, right? Today...going and coming back, is it because he is afraid that Madam will dislike the scar on your face?"

In the dim light, the corners of Yu Mingqiu's lips twitched and he didn't speak.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I can answer this question for you. Although I like handsome men, I don't want to divorce because of a few scars. Besides, General Yu is now like this, and he is a bit more heroic. "

These words are not a lie, the scars on Yu Mingqiu's face are indeed a bit grim, but after all, it's not as scary as a new wound after a long time.

Luo Junyao had seen a lot of people injured on the battlefield, and some of them had facial injuries. People like Yu Mingqiu were really nothing.

"If General Yu must need comfort, then I can only say...scars are a man's medal, and even a general's medal?"

Yu Mingqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly gave a low laugh and said: "Thank you, my concubine, my lord can marry a wife like you, I think he will be very happy in the future."

"You're welcome, I'll bring my wife to the palace to play when I have time." I always feel that the last sentence of this person is weird.

Coming out of Yu Mingqiu's small courtyard, Luo Jun returned to Jingyuan and just entered the door when he saw Xie Yan leaning on the bed and flipping through a book.

Luo Junyao looked behind him suspiciously, why didn't anyone tell her that Xie Yan was back?

Xie Yan raised his head, put down the book, and looked at her fixedly. The expression on his face made Luo Junyao inexplicably feel a little dangerous.

"Have you met Mr. Song?" Luo Junyao stopped in his tracks alertly.

Xie Yan smiled, raised his hand and waved to her, "Shake, come here."

"Oh." Luo Junyao hesitated for a moment, and walked over without finding anything wrong, "What did Mr. Song tell you? I just went to see General Yu, it seems..."

wrong!

Luo Junyao quickly wanted to withdraw the hand that was about to be placed in Xie Yan's palm, but Xie Yan was obviously one step faster, holding her slender wrist firmly with one hand.

Luo Jun shook his hands and wanted to struggle, but it was a pity that she was obviously not Xie Yan's opponent. In the blink of an eye, the two of them made seven or eight moves, but Xie Yan still held her wrist firmly.

Xie Yan pushed a little, and Luo Junyao turned around and fell into his arms.

"..."

Just as Luo Junyao raised his head, he felt his warm breath approaching his ear.

"It's been a long time, and it's gone. Huh?" Xie Yan said softly.

Luo Junyao shuddered instantly, secretly hating in his heart: Yu Mingqiu, this princess kindly enlightened you, yet you actually harmed me!

Xie Yan's internal energy is extremely high, she couldn't detect it in the room, but couldn't Yu Mingqiu also notice it?

Xie Yan said that his martial arts has not been abolished.

His last laugh was clearly intentional!
The second girl Luo, who was capsized in the gutter, gritted her teeth in her heart, secretly cursing Yu Mingqiu for being kicked out of the house by his wife and punished by kneeling on the washboard.

Xie Yan said softly: "I don't know, but Yao Yao thinks so?"

Luo Jun shook him and said in a low voice, "Aren't I comforting General Yu?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Comfort Yu Mingqiu, shouldn't you tell him that your love for me is as deep as the ocean and will never change?"

Luo Junyao couldn't help shaking, raised his head, blinked his eyes and said innocently: "It's too nasty, I can't say it. And...seeing his gloomy aura, he might not believe me when I say that. Just trick him back and see After leaving his daughter-in-law, the following things are always easy to solve. Escape will not solve the problem."

"Yao Yao is really smart." Xie Yan rubbed her hair and said softly.

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Then...can you let me go?"

Xie Yan shook his head, "Yao Yao can't say it in front of Yu Mingqiu, how about saying it in front of me?"

Luo Junyao took a deep breath, raised his head and kissed him heavily on the lips, and said, "It's beautiful! If you don't come back, I'll find a handsome man tomorrow. There are thousands of beautiful men in the world, but I can't do it every day." Change!"

"Change every day?" Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her chattering little mouth.

Luo Junyao snorted softly, a little provocatively, "Look how dare I dare! If you are disfigured and disabled, this girl will not despise you. But if you hide outside and refuse to go home after you come back, you Try it."

Xie Yan gave a low laugh: "My concubine is right, as long as I have breath, I will come back no matter what."

Luo Junyao held his handsome cheeks in satisfaction and said: "You are so good, Yu Mingqiu can't do that, he will be beaten by his wife."

Xie Yan nodded and said: "The princess taught me the lesson, but... let's talk about changing every day, shall we?"

Luo Junyao felt upside down for a while, and in an instant, the two of them had changed positions.

Xie Yanju looked down at her condescendingly, "Who does the princess want to change?"

Luo Junyao hurriedly said: "No one, except for the prince, where is there any handsome man in the capital? The prince is truly the most beautiful man in the imperial city."

Xie Yan laughed lowly, "Is Wang Hao sincere?"

"Sincerely, it's truer than gold." Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "I don't think this is very credible."

"You don't believe me?" Luo Jun glared at him angrily.

Xie Yan said: "The concubine herself said just now that you are not reliable."

Luo Junyao wanted to cry but had no tears, "I just said it casually."

Xie Yan looked at her with a half-smile, and Luo Junyao hurriedly made amends, "The most beautiful man in the sentence before is true."

Facing the imposing handsome face, Luo Junyao surrendered helplessly to the beauty, smashing the jar, "Can't I be wrong? Then what do you want?"

Xie Yan raised his hand to caress her delicate red lips, and said, "Naturally, the princess has no time to think about other beautiful men."

After speaking, he bowed his head and kissed the lips that still wanted to argue.

Hello!When did I miss another handsome man? !
Swept by a storm of enthusiasm, Luo Junyao thought helplessly in a daze.

Yu Mingqiu, you wait for this princess!
