Before he finished speaking, Yun Qike suddenly heard wind blowing from the back of his head. He was startled and could have dodged to the side - but before he could move, he had already received two heavy blows in succession!
Before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard Yun Fenghuang's shocked words: "Empress?!"
Qi Jiulu glanced at the unconscious Yun Qike in his leg, threw it to the east of his feet like trash, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his leg fingers, and stepped on his body to Yun Fenghuang In front of me, I half-knelt down to check and make sure she was fine. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Empress Ji who was standing at the door and nodded slightly: "May I ask, my queen, where is the key?"
"I've already found him." Empress Ji was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Even though she was in a prison cell, her double-knife bun was still tied up with a trace of hair. The diagonally inserted emerald jade inlaid with tourmaline, ruby, and beaded emerald and coral steps dangled in the corner of her eyes. The dim light reflected the brilliance in the east, which reflected the cold light in her eyes, but it didn't bring out the slightest bit of popularity.
She threw a bunch of keys at Qi Jiulu and glanced at Yun Fenghuang lightly, "If you let her go with me, it's none of my business."
"Are you kidding me? If Ahuang doesn't go with him, will he follow you?" Qi Jiulu was in a good mood at the moment. He quickly unshackled Yunfenghuang and saw a little dust on her cheeks. He stretched out his hand. Xiu went over to wipe her and said without raising his head, "Yun Qike has also been left to you - I don't think the Gu family needs him to bother with anything?"
His tone showed little respect for Empress Ji. The empress's eyes darkened because of this, but she didn't get angry and just said "hmm": "Then, I wish that our lovers will eventually get married and grow old together. A house full of children and grandchildren!”
The words were good at first, but everyone in the palace and harem knew that Yun Fenghuang had few heirs, yet she chose to say "a house full of children and grandchildren", which was obviously sarcastic.
Qi Jiulu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I hope everything goes well for the empress and she takes over the power soon!"
Empress Ji sneered without saying anything, and said: "Your Majesty will leave to return to Chunban Villa in the next month. I'd better move more quickly. Otherwise... maybe we two are willing to become mandarin ducks with the same destiny and fly away. It also depends on whether Bidong agrees or not?"
After saying those words and giving a low high-five, two secret guards, all wrapped up in Dongdu, walked outside the door. They lifted Yun Qike and left without saying a word.
The queen watched from the side, and when they left the door, she followed them.
Yun Fenghuang heard their footsteps go away, then frowned and asked Qi Jiulu: "How did I get together with her?"
"Otherwise, how can we take it out?" Qi Jiulu smiled, kissed her cheek, and said, "I'll wait a moment."
He stood up and walked out of the stone room. Not long after, he brought a bundle in and said, "He specially prepared this. Let me see if you like it?"
Yun Fenghuang opened it suspiciously, and found a newly made dress. It had an ultramarine bottom with red plum branches, a short jacket with a staggered lapel, a cyan green embroidered auspicious cloud belt, and a gray and pink crepe fairy skirt. In addition, there were two pieces of jewelry. Agate lotus hairpin and gilt emerald inlaid beads and begonia crane pattern head flower.
Although there are not many things, they are all exquisite, and you can see that they have been carefully thought out.
She raised her eyebrows but did not move. Instead, she gathered the baggage and pushed it to the side. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Whose family does that cheap maid Xile belong to?"
"... She has always denied the person Dou arranged for the prince." Qi Jiulu's eyes darkened when he saw this, but he still smiled and said softly, "When the queen arranged to serve me, the prince had ordered that if I didn't If you want to subdue her, just let her take care of me. As for Yue Chang, even if my instructions conflict with what the prince said, I am still the most important."
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said, "If Gong Xiangxiao is so patient, why would he want to recruit me? Is that what I asked him to do?"
The two of them got engaged when they were young and grew up together. They knew each other very well - just like when Qi Jiulu knew that Xile was the one whom Gong Xiangxiao arranged to be in front of Yun Fenghuang, he was sure that Yun Fenghuang would look for opportunities to poach him; as soon as Yun Fenghuang heard this When he said that, he also knew that Qi Jiulu himself must have come up with that idea.
"I came to the Imperial Capital suddenly, and Nian Xuan was the only one around me. He remembers that maid who was not very helpful." Qi Jiulu did not deny it, and sighed softly, "It's already humiliating to live in my aunt's house. Entering the palace again, what can I do if there is no one around me to do? Xile is good at doing things, and he also knows what is going on. Especially with the noisy Xijing as a foil, he is the right candidate for my urgently needed confidant... He has no other intentions, so he just wants to Make me feel more comfortable."
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Have you thought that the people who were gathered together were not aware of the trap that the enemy plane set in advance? Do you want to make him feel more comfortable?" Can I let him be so angry at me? "
"How can we be enemies?" Qi Jiulu coaxed softly, "Then it would be more troublesome to think about whether I can recruit anyone who can be used... Besides, although Xile was ordered to join me, he never betrayed me. !”
"He rushed to the villa without any reason, knocked him unconscious and put him in Yun Qike's lap. How do you call him not betraying?" Yun Fenghuang became more and more angry as he spoke. He couldn't help but stretched his legs and pushed him hard. Is it true that Qi Jiulu has been accustomed to this since he was a child? Wu, Dongpan was extremely stable, but he didn't move at all. He took advantage of the situation and held her leg.
Yun Fenghuang twitched but didn't move, so he simply kicked him and said bitterly, "Why did Yun Qike wrong him just now? Am I happy to hear it outside? If he wasn't so kind and his legs were weak, he could have stopped him in time. He, can I just let him take that poisonous pill?! I just lost my leg in Yongwan Zhe, can I just let him have his throat cut off with a knife?! I have really made progress! I have only been in the Imperial Capital for a few days, Just learn to trade your childhood memories for your future, right?!"
"Why do you really want him to give me the powder?" Qi Jiulu hurriedly went to explain, "The medicine has been added to the pot a long time ago - it looks like a potpourri, but in fact it is just dough mixed with some harmless drugs! As for the He used the knife just now... Doesn't that mean he came in immediately after hearing the noise?"
"No?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him suspiciously, picked up the pills that had fallen on his clothes because of Yun Qike's obstruction, looked at them, and then threw them in front of him and said with a stern face, "Then I'll eat something." Look at him!"
Qi Jiulu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't hesitate. He just touched her legs and opened his mouth to swallow.
"I'm stupid!" Then Yun Fenghuang took the pill away when he saw this, and shouted, "The Yun family hated him so much in Dongruming, and they kidnapped him here but didn't beat him or scold him, so let him How could it be that the pill he took was something good! Just now, Yun Qike was reluctant to stop him from taking the pill. Even though he was very close, he didn't notice any difference in the pill... It can be seen that even if the pill is not slow, it can be fake! He doesn't remember it. I have that ability, so Ji Lingzi must have done it? Do I believe her when she says she changed to a drug that won’t hurt her? How do I know the legs and feet weren’t done there?!”
After a series of scoldings, he was very confused and poked his forehead with his finger, and said angrily, "When he asked me to eat something, I would eat it. Why wasn't Kongquepo so obedient back then? Let me go. I refuse to leave until my death!"
Qi Jiulu's heart softened when he heard that, and Dongshu said: "There is no way. When he saw me angry, he just wanted to follow me and let me calm down. He didn't care about anything else..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yun Fenghuang flipping his face like a book. His face instantly darkened. He put the pill into his sleeve and squinted his eyes and said, "Does it really look like Ji Lingzi did it? He held the pill in his lap for a long time. I didn’t find anything special. I gave him some dye and flour and he could knead the same thing. I knew clearly whether it was for him to eat, but I didn’t give it to Ji Ling Zi Jing’s legs instead of doing it myself... "
Looking sideways at Qi Jiulu, whose expression suddenly changed, she paused for a moment and then sneered, "I just heard Ji Lingzi say, should I take him away?"
Before Qi Jiulu could nod, Yun Fenghuang kicked him over and cursed, "Our family has nothing to do with each other. Even if I rely on the regent prince, the prince himself is worried about the housework in the house, but I can't take advantage of it." How powerful is it? How dare I conspire with Ji Lingzi - no matter how downcast she is, Ru Ming is still the queen of the country, her mother is Tiandong, let alone the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, with a noble status and profound heritage! I How is that any different from seeking skin from a tiger?!"
"...or she took the initiative to send someone to look for him." Qi Jiulu was beaten and scolded by her until he was in a very embarrassed state. However, he did not dare to resist, so he had to dodge and explain, "otherwise he would be so disgusted by Mrs. Ji, how could he take the initiative?" Go find her?"
It turned out that it was good that he didn't say that, but when he said that, Yun Fenghuang became even more angry: "I will agree to her if she asks for me? Who does she deny me?! Ah, who does she deny me?! Who does he deny me? ?! I was wrong, was he ever so obedient!"
Qi Jiulu said in a low voice: "No, it's not like that. I heard him say..."
Yun Fenghuang said impatiently: "What is he asking for? He won't listen! He won't listen! If he says he won't listen, he won't listen, he won't listen, he won't listen, he won't listen!!!!"
Qi Jiulu was very patient with her making such a fuss, and continued to coax Qun Xuan with gentle words, but the others couldn't stand it anymore - then they heard Gong Xiangxiao's voice coming from outside the door, showing patience and helplessness: "Little ancestor After receiving the hint from the queen, brother Xinjun immediately contacted my son, who reported it to his father. So if Ming Fu Ji tried to bribe brother Xinjun to scheme against Uncle Zhaowu and Duke Yi, in order to force Bidong I appointed Ji. However, Ji didn’t know that we have always been in contact with each other. Needless to say, I can guess the matter of receiving Donglai?”
"Brother Xinjun has been thinking a lot about whether to reunite with me this time. Apart from other things, I should also be aware of how suspicious the queen is - especially after she was betrayed by me once and she became even more suspicious! Of course, she was not looking for Xinjun first. Brother, did you actually plan to use Brother Xinyun to frame me, and finally ended up cooperating with Brother Xinyun to deceive Duke Yiguo’s government? I wonder how much effort Brother Xinyun spent and how much price he paid?!"
That prince has no support from Hong!
Qi Jiulu felt happy in his heart, but remained calm in front of him. Instead, he showed more and more perseverance to bear the humiliation and bear the burden.
"So this time the regent plans to be an oriole?" Yun Fenghuang was really moved when he heard this. He stretched out his legs and touched his cheek, which seemed to be comforting, but the information revealed in Yuan Xiangxiao's words was not what he wanted. Attracted, he muttered, "From the prince's point of view, I think there is no way we can let Mrs. Yaoning really get into trouble at this moment. Well, then why don't we use Yun Qike's legs to get him here without saying hello?" The reason? If what he expected was true, he would have been dead at that time? No, no?"
There was applause outside the door, and Gong Xiangxiao said with a smile: "Brother Xinjun has his heart in the end, he is really smart! But Mao Jieyu over there in the villa is very nice, but yesterday I fell down while hunting. Frightened, Ruming just rested in the room, and no one else except the attendants was allowed to come close to disturb him... "
"Then tomorrow night or tomorrow, Yun Qike will decide whether to avenge his sister's murder. Chunban Villa will be burned down. Mao Jieyu and her dowry Nianxuan will be buried in the sea of fire, with no bones left. After that, Bi Dong will be responsible for this incident. It is logical that the crown prince, who is on a hunt, will find out everything and find out the culprits of the Yiguo family, as well as the Ji family who instigated and allowed Yun Qike to murder the concubine, and avenge the fate of the beautiful and unfortunate Mao Jieyu!" Yun Fenghuang deduced from the interface. , and then curiously asked, "Xile, is it just the trap we laid for him early in the morning? Where is Nianxuan? When was Nianxuan bribed by us?"
"If Nianxuan has not been bribed, then she has been fooled." Qi Jiulu said, "In the forest, after I was taken away, Xile woke Nianxuan and told her that it was not my arrangement. Will she cooperate... I have been relying on Xile recently, and Nianxuan has long been used to it. I also know that the maid has never been very smart, so I don't have any doubts? "
Yun Fenghuang: “……………………”
She calmed down and said slowly, "Is it true that she didn't have any doubts as soon as you said that?"
Although he had always known that Nian Xuan was not a very smart person, if she was really that stupid, then... Yun Fenghuang swallowed his heartache silently.
Can such a big thing be fooled? !
This is definitely because she favored Xile Xijing and alienated Nianxuan after entering the palace!
"... He gave Xile a token that Nianxuan recognized in advance, saying that he had made an appointment with me, so Nianxuan believed it." Qi Jiulu hesitated and said, "I just learned to tie the knot earlier. The one I gave him."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him expressionlessly, which made his hair stand on end. He smiled apologetically: "Ahuang..."
