A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Yun Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he got up immediately: "Eunuch Jia is still there?"

"I'm waiting in our mansion." The maid said.

Yun Cheng lifted his foot and left.

But Qi Wenyan grabbed his wrist through the clothes: "I'll see you off."

Hearing this, Feng Lin had already galloped back to his room to get the cloak and arranged for the horse to be prepared.

Yun Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist, thought for a while and still refused: "Grandpa Jia is waiting, I won't have any problem if I go with him. And... maybe I won't be back tonight, you'd better go to bed early, You have to get up early and go to court."

She was obviously upset, otherwise her brain wouldn't be so unable to keep up.

Although Qi Wenyan's heart tightened and he couldn't bear to hit her, he still told the truth: "Your Majesty is sick, and he probably won't be able to go to court tomorrow."

The emperor's situation should not be very good.

otherwise--

The palace will not come over overnight to call Yun Cheng over.

Yun Cheng himself obviously knew it well.

Hearing this, her complexion became even more obvious and pale.

Qi Wenyan said: "I'm just a little worried about this big night, I can feel more at ease if I let you walk with me."

Yun Cheng is upset right now.

In addition, there was no time for the two of them to pull each other here, she hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Only then did Qi Wenyan let go of his hand: "I'll see you at the gate later."

Yun Cheng picked up his cloak, put it on in a hurry, and strode away.

Qi Wenyan frowned deeply, staring at the vast night in the courtyard after she left, with a particularly dignified expression.

Waiting for Feng Lin to come over with his thick cloak in his arms, he put it on and went out first.

On the other side, Yun Cheng went back to his own yard, met Eunuch Jia who was waiting in the flower hall, and asked about the specific situation in the palace, then he didn't feel like going back to his room to change his clothes, so he urged him to leave quickly.

The two went to the gate, and Qi Wenyan was already waiting.

Yun Cheng didn't say anything, and got into the carriage directly.

Although it would be faster to ride a horse, she was a little restless at the moment. She wanted to be quiet for a while, so she got into the carriage without thinking.

When Eunuch Jia saw this Lord Qi, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, and bowed his hands together: "Master Qi."

Qi Wenyan nodded in return.

As a way of saving Empress Gu's face, she even explained: "It's inconvenient to travel at night, and it happens that I'm fine in the mansion, so I'll accompany you to see you off."

After Yuncheng's Jiji banquet in the daytime, the news that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang's son-in-law had been selected spread like wildfire, spreading out as quickly as wings inside and outside the palace, Eunuch Jia naturally knew it well.

He glanced at the carriage and saw that Yun Cheng inside hadn't objected, so he didn't say anything.

Get on your horse.

A group of people hurried towards the direction of the imperial city in silence through the extremely cold night.

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the frosty street surface was particularly clear and loud, as if they were stepping on people's hearts. It was uncomfortable and disturbing to hear.

In the carriage, Yun Cheng wrapped his fur cloak tightly around his body, huddled himself in a corner, always feeling restless in his heart.

Fortunately, their house is on the edge of the imperial city, so it's not too far away.

But at night, the guards at the palace gate will be more strict, so even if Eunuch Jia personally leads the team, he will inevitably have to dismount to negotiate and accept certain interrogation checks when he arrives at the palace gate.

The carriages and horses stopped, and Yun Cheng cheered up and poked his head out of the window.

Qi Wenyan understood the rules, so before she drove off, he rode to the side of the carriage and said, "It's night, I'm a foreigner, it's inconvenient to enter the inner palace, you go, I'll wait here."

In the cold winter night, especially outside the gate of the palace, there is no place to shelter from the wind and frost...

Yun Cheng said, "No need, it's freezing cold, you can go back."

Qi Wenyan was still resolute: "You do your work first, if you are sure you won't be coming back tonight, ask someone to come out and tell me before I leave."

Although Yun Cheng is a little girl, but she was born in the army, sometimes it is common for her to spend the whole night patrolling the streets on an errand, and she also drove through the barren mountains and wild mountains overnight for the sake of the army.

She was not the kind of hypocritical person who needed to be overly cared for, but on a winter night when she was unsteady and even a little fearful and worried, there was a person who stood here firmly and said that she would advance and retreat with her...

At this moment, it seemed that there was an additional barrier behind him.

In my heart, I somehow feel more at ease.

Yun Cheng pursed his lips, and when he wanted to say something more, Eunuch Jia had already negotiated everything.

Seeing the guards open the palace gate, Qi Wenyan consciously kicked his horse and backed away.

Yun Cheng opened the car window, looked at him a few more times, and then retreated into the carriage again.

The carriage disappeared into the long dark doorway, and the majestic palaces standing in front of it looked like a huge ogre, cold and ugly.

The palace gate closed again in front of his eyes, and Qi Wenyan got off his horse.

Feng Lin followed him, and the master and servant went to a tree a little further away to shelter from the wind.

Qi Wenyan crossed his arms and leaned against the tree, but his gaze was fixed on the high palace wall that blocked his sight, with a cold expression on his face.

Feng Lin stood beside him, sighing with emotion in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the great emperor, has always been in poor health. It's just that his husband and wife are very skillful in governing, so they have been able to hide it from everyone's eyes and ears. It's just stricter."

Qi Wenyan didn't answer, and asked suddenly after a while: "Has the person Yu Wencang sent to replace Dongfang Mu arrived?"

Dacheng's spies were finally not as self-righteous and thoughtless as Ye Xunyi's woman, because they were worried that Dongfang Mu's body would be a bait to lure snakes out of the hole, so the notice of identifying the corpse in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion has been posted up to now, and no one has seen the corpse. I claimed it, and it was hastily dragged to a mass grave for burial a few days ago.

Feng Lin was originally walking around stomping his feet to keep warm. Hearing this, he hurriedly changed his expression again: "According to your instructions, I have been keeping an eye on that woman in Prince Ning's Mansion. As for Dacheng's court, what the secret guards did The matter will not be brought to the public for discussion and discussion, and it is not sure who they will send over for the time being."

It was Qi Wenyan's intention to stare at Ye Xunyi, because he said that as long as Yu Wencang did not give up on Ye Xunyi's line, he would definitely send someone to contact her again.

As long as he waited for the rabbit, he could follow the vine and grasp the fox's tail exposed from Dacheng's side again.

Qi Wenyan's face at this moment has no emotion at all, and it's even different from the usual cold face in court.

There was also a bottomless cold darkness in his pupils, and he muttered: "After all, Ye Shi is just a mere woman, even if Yu Wencang intends to take advantage of it, she should be properly vigilant and sober after suffering this boring loss. If he wants to continue to increase his bargaining chips on this woman, maybe... he has to find a way to push her to increase his confidence in that woman. "

Dongfang Mu was extraordinary in terms of status and skills. He had been dormant in the capital of Dajin for a few months, and suddenly fell here. Yu Wencang should also feel pain, and was very angry.

Feng Lin glanced at him secretly, and finally couldn't help asking the question that had been hidden in his heart for almost a month: "That day... even if you were trying to get the antidote, why did you hit him so hard, and you killed him directly? ?”

Send more people to surround Dongfang Mu, taking advantage of Dongfang Mu's order near the Marquis of Changning's mansion, take him down and force out the antidote, and then pretend that he is someone from the Prince Ning's mansion and dare not casually take his life and let him go. That matter is also vague.

But his master didn't know what was going on that day, so he chased him alone and killed him.

Yu Wencang may not know how to be vigilant and suspicious!
Acting impulsively and recklessly, although it is indeed something his master would do when he goes crazy, but...

He hadn't gone crazy for a long time, and Feng Lin couldn't adapt, and even complained in his heart.

Qi Wenyan also looked sideways at him.

Feng Lin knew that he was talking too much and was presumptuous, and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but found that he didn't get angry, and instead calmly said: "He recognized me."

"Ah?" Feng Lin didn't understand his meaning for a while.

The first reaction is that if you don't cover your face, if you catch up and fight with someone, it's not normal if they don't recognize you, right?

But immediately afterward, Qi Wenyan changed the subject and asked again: "Do I look alike that bastard Ji Congying?"

Feng Lin was startled suddenly, and when his face changed suddenly, he let out a low voice: "You mean..."

He originally thought that what Qi Wenyan said was recognized, but he was recognized as the young minister of Dali Temple. After all, his identity is now revealed to the outside world as a powerless scholar. normal operation.

but don't want to-

His so-called recognition is this recognition.

Feng Lin was also quite frightened, and then rejoiced——

Fortunately, they silenced it in time, Dongfang Mu was already a dead man.

Here, his mind was going back and forth, ups and downs countless times, and when he managed to regain his composure, he saw Qi Wenyan was still looking at him with a serious expression of asking for advice, waiting for his answer.

Feng Lin felt his scalp tingle, and although he knew that Qi Wenyan was definitely not willing to listen, he still had to bite the bullet and said, "Young master, your appearance should be more like this, with the Patriarch and the old Patriarch...it is true. Not much resemblance. It's just that, after all, it's the same line, and it's inevitable... there is... a bit..."

Feng Lin has never found speaking so difficult in his life.

It was just stating the facts, but he stumbled, and in the end he felt like his tongue was tied, and he was almost stuttering.

And even so—

He still avoided it deliberately, not daring to say the most crucial sentence.

But if he didn't say it, it doesn't mean that Qi Wenyan didn't know about it!
His face was already visible to the naked eye, and it became condensed, and there was obvious hostility in his eyes.

A nephew is like an uncle...

Therefore, all these years, the whole capital believed that he was Qi Zhengyu's illegitimate son.

He hated this damned background to death, he hated those surnamed Qi, and he also hated those surnamed Ji, he wished he could get rid of his flesh and blood and return them all!

But after all, he has been entangled in hatred for so many years, and he has not been able to do it so far.

Especially now—

He has the delusion of wanting to be a normal person again, and wants to trap himself in Qi Wenyan's shell forever, and it may be even more difficult to do it in the future!
Choices in life are never easy.

His mood fell to the bottom inexplicably in an instant, he simply closed his eyes fiercely, and he couldn't see anything about this foreign object!

In the palace, when Yun Cheng went to Fengming Palace, the imperial doctor who came to see him had already left.

Inside the sleeping hall, Empress Gu was sitting by the bed, holding a bowl of soup and medicine and feeding it to the emperor herself.

The emperor's complexion was abnormally rosy, and one could tell it was a sick complexion at first glance, especially...

He looked extremely haggard and tired.

"Take a rest for two days. I'll ask Director Li to deliver an order to the Ministry of Officials, informing them that the imperial court will be suspended for two days." Empress Gu said softly while feeding the medicine.

But it was just to inform him, not to discuss.

The emperor didn't refute, just swallowed the bitter medicinal soup, and then said: "Let's just say that I have a cold occasionally."

"En." Queen Gu nodded slightly.

The emperor said again: "I'm not here with you, I'll move back to the bedroom tomorrow to avoid others' suspicion."

This time, Empress Gu was silent for a long time without speaking.

After feeding him to drink the remaining half bowl of medicine, she pressed the corners of the emperor's lips with a handkerchief, then handed him water to rinse his mouth, and then looked at his face again and said: "The government handed over to the crown prince to act temporarily A few days, His Majesty just took the opportunity to take a rest."

In fact, within the past two or three years, the emperor has been taking the prince by his side all the year round to teach and teach in person.

But it is also because the crown prince is still young, if all are delivered prematurely...

It will inevitably arouse suspicion in the court.

The emperor is only in his forties this year, if he is in good health, free from illness and disaster, why would he rush to delegate power and ask the prince, who is only in his early teens, to take the lead?

But now that Empress Gu's words are placed on someone who has a bad relationship with husband and wife, the emperor may immediately become suspicious, but the two of them seemed to be discussing some trivial matter, and the emperor didn't even blink. Nodded: "Yes. Don't call him at night, so that he won't worry about my health, and I will send him into the palace tomorrow morning."

As soon as the two of them discussed these matters, Mother Jiao outside the hall personally brought Yun Cheng in with a lantern: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has arrived."

The emperor was half lying and leaning on a pile of big pillows, when he saw his daughter coming in, he struggled to get up immediately.

Empress Gu hurriedly supported half of his body, and went to fetch two more pillows with the other hand.

"My son, come here." Yun Cheng immediately stepped forward to help, but was blocked by Queen Gu.

She looked serious, but her movements were very meticulous and attentive: "You just came in from the outside, and your body is very cold. Your father can't bear it, so go to the side to warm up first."

Yun Cheng could only withdraw his hands resentfully, walked obediently to the side, squatted next to the brazier, picked up a hand stove to warm his hands, and stared worriedly at the side of the bed.

Empress Gu helped the emperor adjust a more comfortable position again, so she got up to make room for Yun Cheng: "Don't say that your father is sick, and I won't be able to see you easily, so I went to accompany your father." Emperor, let's talk."

Yun Cheng is indeed a little too arrogant at ordinary times, and he doesn't want to be restrained by this palace, so he doesn't come to the palace very much.

Seeing the emperor's sickly, weak and vicissitudes now, the little girl's heart softened and she blamed herself terribly.

When Queen Gu said that again, she immediately felt even more uncomfortable, and lowered her eyes slightly.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled and waved to his little daughter, "Come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Yun Cheng cheered up and walked over, dragging a stool and sitting in front of the bed.

Looking closely at her father's gray temples, Yun Cheng's nose was sore, and he said in a muffled voice, "Didn't father still be fine at noon? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"I'm just so happy today, I drank two more glasses and blew some cold wind." The emperor looked excited, "Old people are like this, and their bones are not as strong as your young people! "

Before Empress Gu walked out of the apse, she looked back at the father and daughter, with deep worry in her eyes, she sighed secretly before continuing to go out, and asked, "Has this girl eaten dinner?"

"When Jia Yan said to go, His Highness just went to the opposite door for a while, so it must be that he hasn't eaten yet." Mother Jiao said.

The emperor was all about bringing together Qi Wenyan and Yun Cheng. Although Empress Gu didn't interfere, she knew what she should know. For example, Yun Cheng didn't even bother to build a kitchen in his own mansion, but Qi Wenyan did what he liked. I don't know where he hired him at a high price. She is an excellent cook, and since then her daughter has been tricked into going home for dinner.

"Then ask the little kitchen to make something for her quickly." Queen Gu didn't know what to say.

This future son-in-law, at first glance, she can't find any faults, but how can she, a person who has experienced it, not see clearly the man's tricks to trick the little girl?

Although he is willing to coax with his heart, it is better than having no heart, but who knows how true this heart is and whether it will last for a long time?
