Chapter 25 Mint Sachet
The body on the side holding her was still warm, Wei Ying thought to herself, if she had a knife in her hand, this must be the best time to assassinate him, because at this moment he has let go of everything he has towards her. Defense, and concentrate on resisting foreign enemies.

But even if Zhaojun died, the state of Wu couldn't be destroyed, but she couldn't get out of here, Wei Ying naturally wouldn't use such a stupid method.

During the time when she was distracted, Zhaojun had solved almost all the problems with one hand, leaving only the last person standing in front of the horse.

Zhaojun put the knife on his neck, and said coldly: "Tell me who is behind your scenes, and I will let you live."

Before the words fell, the man directly wiped his neck with his knife, and blood spattered all over the place.

The killers cultivated by the Zheng family bought their lives with a lot of money, but they had all the information about their family members. Those who betrayed Zheng's family members would be hunted down and killed, while those who chose to kill themselves, the family members would get a fortune instead. money.

The last killer fell, and Zhaojun's face couldn't be darker.

The setting sun was setting, the setting sun was like blood, and the ground was covered with corpses, which was horrible.

Zhaojun put away the knife, rode his horse and continued forward. Wei Ying cautiously poked her face out of his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Are all the assassins dead?"

"Well, it's all dead."

"Husband, you are so powerful." Wei Ying said shyly in his arms, did not hear his answer, raised her head to sneak a look at him, and found that his ears were slightly red...

Wei Ying felt that this must be her own illusion, maybe it was just the refraction of the setting sun?
While she was thinking, he suddenly pushed her away slightly and held her shoulder.

Wei Ying's whole body shrank suddenly, even the pair of pink fists placed on his chest unconsciously clenched, the corners of her mouth grinned, but she turned her face away.The timid smile that lowered her head was like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot withstand the cool breeze.

Do not know why.Wei Ying felt as if a little white rabbit was jumping happily in her heart, and her face was burning like a fever.Such a warm feeling made her very happy.

Zhaojun opened his eyes and glanced at her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Wei Ying felt that her acting skills were getting better and better, getting along with him became more and more natural, so she hid in his arms, not daring to look at him.

His horse drove towards the palace at a leisurely pace, the horse's hooves rustled on the shallow grass, crushing the golden sunset all over the place.

When they arrived at the palace, it was already dark. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Ying and Zhao Jun rode back together.Zhaojun settled her down in Qianjing Palace and went to find Mrs. Zheng.

It is said that Zhaojun lost his temper in Qianjing Palace and even slapped Mrs. Zheng, but Wei Ying heard all these from Ruolan.Zheng still did not give up, insisted that Wei Ying was a witch, and asked ten imperial physicians to examine Wei Ying's pulse. The ten imperial physicians unanimously concluded that Wei Ying was an ordinary woman with a healthy body and a normal pulse.

It was said that she had been a vixen for so long and was almost put into an iron cage to be killed. Naturally, Wei Ying was not a vegetarian. On the morning of the second day after returning to the palace, she took the initiative to visit Qianning Hall.

Still covered with plain gauze, with a pomegranate-like red dress wrapping her graceful figure, Wei Ying, holding a steamed bun, stepped into the Hall of Qianning gracefully step by step.

The maid behind her was holding a tray with a white porcelain plate covered with a red silk cloth.The maid said:

"Queen, Concubine Jing has a gift for you."

Zheng Shi was in a daze, but the moment the red silk cloth was lifted, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and screamed uncontrollably.Pointing at Wei Ying, he shouted incoherently:
"The witch! You witch!"

It turned out that the white porcelain plate contained a bloody right hand, which was exactly the one that Ri Jing'er slapped Wei Ying on the face.

Wei Ying turned and left, the corners of her lips curled up unhurriedly, her smile was extremely coquettish.

After Jing'er was beheaded, he was punished and sent to Xinzheku as a slave forever, and the empress was seriously ill for three days after that day.

It is said that what Wei Ying did was acquiesced by Zhao Jun, and she became more and more arrogant after she came back this time.Concubine Mei, who was originally favored by Zhaojun, was neglected because of her facial injury, and everyone knew that Concubine Jing was now in the prime of her favor.

When Wei Ying went to look for her at Ye's residence, she found her standing under a tree not far from her door.

The apricot blossoms have all fallen, and the branches full of new green leaves are shining brightly in the sun. Mrs. Ye is wearing a mint green long gauze skirt and is bending over to pick something. The sunlight that shone through the gaps in the leaves looked very refreshing.

"Sister." Wei Ying called out and walked over.

Ye immediately straightened up, and Wei Ying saw a handful of purple bracken in Ye's hand.

"Is sister going to make cakes again?" Wei Ying asked.

"This is not for dim sum, but a dish."

"It seems that my sister has a lot of knowledge in culinary research."

Ye said with a wry smile: "A person who has nothing to do in the palace can't find something to do?"

"Has he ever eaten your cooking?" Wei Ying asked.

Knowing who she was talking about, Mrs. Ye shook her head and said, "Your Majesty has a very picky mouth, and there are not many cooks in the imperial dining room who can cook dishes that suit his taste. That, Yuchu Ding, is from Wang Shangqiu. He started cooking for the king when he was [-] years old, and for so many years, the king only eats dishes cooked by Yuchu Ding."

"Huh?" Wei Ying suddenly realized that she only ate dishes made by that person?He tasted the noodles she made that day, was it enough to save face?
"By the way." Ye looked at her with concern, "A few days ago, I heard that my sister was taken away by an assassin, and I was very worried. Fortunately, my sister has a good fortune and returned safely."

"Yeah, even if I wasn't taken away that day, maybe I was beaten to death as a vixen, but I still have to thank the assassin who took me away." Wei Ying laughed.

"That matter, the empress did go too far." Ye sighed slightly: "However, the king and the queen used to respect each other as guests, and because of this incident, they turned against the empress. It won't be easy for a while."

"Oh? Where did you say that?" Wei Ying looked surprised.

"Sister, let me come into the house and talk."

Ye Shi glanced at her, threw the bracken in his hand into the basket on the ground, picked up the basket and walked in.

Pushing open the door, a strong scent of mint came blowing towards her face, and Wei Ying discovered that a large mint field had been planted in front of the court.

A maid took the basket from Mrs. Ye, and Wei Ying walked in, looking around, and found that Mrs. Ye's place was really small and dilapidated, with simple furnishings and only one serving maid.

Wei Ying sat down at an old dark brown paulownia table, and soon the maid brought two cups of tea.

Ye continued the topic just now, and said: "The queen is the granddaughter of Zheng Yuan, the prime minister of the court. She has been spoiled since she was a child. If the granddaughter has been wronged, then Zheng Yuan will naturally not let it go. Presumably, she will definitely be in the court. Trouble with the king." There was a bit of worry in Ye's voice.

Wei Ying was slightly surprised, "Is there anyone who dares to offend Zhaojun these days?"

"Zheng Yuanquan leans towards the government and the public, and the power in the court is deeply rooted. When the first emperor was in power, many things depended on his face. The king has just succeeded to the throne. Although the king has a strong personality, he still has to bow his head in some matters. ah."

"Oh?"

Wei Ying lifted the lid of the cup, and found a burst of cool air refreshing her heart. It turned out to be mint tea, and she felt refreshed after taking a sip.

"This is the mint tea I made myself, and it's also the king's favorite tea. You can take some with you when you leave, and make it for the king when he comes to you."

"How embarrassing is this? This is my sister's hard-dried tea, and my sister is here to go clubbing." Wei Ying hurriedly evaded.

"Lu He, go get some tea for Concubine Jing now."

"Yes."

"It's a waste of tea leaves here." Ye Shi said, "Your Majesty won't come here at all. Every year, I dry a lot of mint tea, but I can only watch them slowly moldy. Give it to my sister. This is the only thing I can do as a king..." Ye Shi said, her expression became lonely again.

Wei Ying could see that the Ye family had a deep affection for Zhaojun. As Zhaojun's first woman, she was also the first person to give birth to an heir for Zhaojun. How did they get to this point?Love the new and dislike the old?No matter how much someone loves the new and dislikes the old, she wouldn't treat her like this... At this moment, Wei Ying was suddenly full of curiosity.

When she was leaving, Ye Shi gave her a large bag of mint herbal tea, Wei Ying didn't back down, winked at her and said, "I will let the king come to see you again!"

Wei Ying sneaked into the imperial study room quietly, and saw Zhaojun frowning and critiquing papers, walked over on tiptoe, covered his eyes with both hands from behind him, and said in a rough voice deliberately: "Guess who I am."

"Aying, don't make trouble." Zhaojun really seemed to be in a bad mood.Wei Ying let go of her hand and sat obediently on the side.

"Husband seems to be in a bad mood?" Wei Ying looked at him with her chin resting.

Zhaojun lowered his eyelids, put his slender fingers on his forehead, and said with a gloomy expression, "Floods in Yongzhou, bandits in Cangzhou... There is nothing in this pile of papers that makes me worry! The most irritating thing is that old man Zheng Yuan! This king Sooner or later, he will be chopped into pieces!" As he said that, he clenched his fist with the other hand and hit the desk hard.

"Husband, don't be angry." Wei Ying leaned forward, pressed her cheek against his, and touched his hand on the table with the other hand, "The state affairs are heavy, since we are at a loss, how about Ah Ying will take you out for a walk to relax?"

For some reason, he has been smelling the faint scent of mint from her body recently, which makes him very irritated. Zhaojun turned his head, looked at her from head to toe, and finally found the sachet.

He stared at the sachet, and suddenly grabbed Wei Ying's hand, pulled off the sachet with the other hand, and asked coldly, "What is this? Why do you have this thing?!"

Seeing his expression, Wei Ying's eyes flickered, and she calmly said, "Oh, this is the purse I picked up in the imperial garden."

Zhaojun was still full of doubts, and stared at her with sharp eyes: "Will you wear the things you picked up casually?"

He really is very smart, Wei Ying thought to herself, she didn't expect him to have such a big reaction when she saw this purse, so she retorted: "Why are you so fierce! It's just a purse, I think it looks good so I wear it myself! "

"This does not belong to you." Zhaojun said coldly, then threw the purse on the ground, "Come here, burn this thing for me."

Seeing his attitude, Wei Ying was filled with anger. Originally, seeing that he was in a bad mood, she wanted to coax him with good intentions, but she didn't expect him to take all his anger on her.

Wei Ying stood up with a "huh".Pulling up the veil, she walked out quickly. In a hurry, she bumped into a person at the door and nearly fell. Wei Ying raised her eyes and said, "You don't have eyes!" She had a square face with regular features and a burly figure. man.

"I'm sorry." The man bowed to Wei Ying, then hurried in.

"Kings!"

Wei Ying paused slightly at the door, and heard Zhaojun shout: "General Zuo."

General Left?It should be the great general protecting the country of Wu, and Zhaojun's right-hand man. He has a sister named Zuo Rongxuan, who is Zhaojun's concubine Xuan.

This should be another political marriage. Zhaojun usually treats this concubine Xuan lukewarm, but he treats her with courtesy and gives everything that should be given. She glanced at her when she was hiding in the tree last time. Like General Zuo, she was born upright, but unfortunately she also has a square face. Looking at her face shape, you can tell that she is not Zhaojun's favorite.

Wei Ying pulled up the veil and continued walking.

Except for Zhaojun and the people in Qianjing Palace, few people have seen her take off her veil. For her, it would be much more convenient for her to walk in the palace wearing a veil.Walking to a secluded place, suddenly there was a "puchi" sound from behind, Wei Ying quickly turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a black shadow flashing behind her.

"Si Fangchuo, come out." Wei Ying called out, and the black shadow came down from the roof.

"Why do you like to climb the roof so much, won't you be discovered?" Wei Ying asked curiously.

Si Fangchuo pulled up his black cloak, only then did she realize that there were pieces of asbestos tiles painted on the other side of the cloak, which blended with the asbestos tiles from a distance, so it was inevitable that they would be discovered.

Wei Ying couldn't help but giggle, "Why are you so talented?"

"How do you know it was me?"

Wei Ying smiled, "Isn't your mission to protect me in Wu Kingdom? As long as I don't return to Wu Kingdom, your mission will not be over for a day. I know you will come back to me naturally, right. Yours How's the injury?"

Si Fangchuo smiled, "It's rare for the princess to care about my injury."

Wei Ying tsk-tsk: "I advise you to go back early, you can't even beat Zhaojun, how can you protect me? What if one day he wants to kill me, what will you do?"
