Chapter 129 Turmoil
He suddenly stood up, but the little wolf cub in his arms didn't react and fell to the ground with a thud. He stayed stunned on the ground for several seconds, then bared his teeth and growled at Bei Jinchuan.
Bei Jinchuan didn't bother to pay attention to it. He walked directly in front of Jiang Han and looked at the person in front of him. Although he had hidden anger in his heart, he could do nothing about her.
The questioning words that came to his lips could not be uttered, and they could only be turned into silent sighs.
"The imperial city is not at peace recently. It's best if you don't go out of the house as much as possible."
The banquet of the Four Nations was approaching, and envoys from various countries were arriving in the imperial city one after another. There was a mixture of good and bad people, and all kinds of little tricks were done secretly. In addition, in the recent period, the Queen Mother was poisoned and assassinated. It was indeed not peaceful.
Jiang Han nodded in agreement.
However, the fun has just begun.
The man in the palace vigorously rectified those aristocratic families and suppressed those rumors with an iron fist, just because he did not want to cause trouble again at this juncture. After all, envoys from all over the world were here, and it was hard to make others laugh. This was about a country. This important event cannot be compared with the lives of just a few untouchables.
Furthermore, this matter is complicated, and a thorough investigation cannot be solved in just one or two sentences. The best way is to scare the restless people who are hiding in the dark, and finally reduce the big things to small ones. .
Not only is this useless, it will also embolden those who do evil.
Then, everything she had done before would be in vain!
In this case, let the water become more and more muddy, and no one can be alone.
Jiang Han was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Bei Jinchuan calling her several times.
It wasn't until someone tapped me on the forehead that I finally recovered.
"What are you thinking about? You were so lost in thought that you didn't hear me even though I called you several times?"
Jiang Wei quickly apologized, "Sorry, maybe I haven't slept well these past few days and I was a little distracted. Where did you talk just now, Your Highness?"
Bei Jinchuan stared at her face for a few seconds, not sure whether he believed it or not, then suddenly changed the subject and talked about another thing.
"Speaking of which, I have seen your house with lights brightly lit all night several times, but what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Huan's eyes trembled slightly, and the fire in the sky seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and his face was tinged with a bit of coldness.
She shook her head and said calmly.
"It's just some of my personal habits that make His Highness worried."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more and didn't ask, Bei Jinchuan nodded and continued talking about the previous topic.
"I just said that the Four Kingdoms Banquet will be held in ten days. No matter what happens then, you must stay with me."
The current situation in various countries is tense. Although everyone is still maintaining superficial peace, there is constant competition behind the scenes.
According to the secret report, Nanyue Kingdom, which has been in the limelight recently, is plotting something. It has sent a lot of troops to station at the border between the two countries. Even the envoy who came to the imperial city this time was the one who led troops to destroy Ningxuan and Mochang not long ago. The commander-in-chief of the two countries, Song Chi.
According to reliable information, a team of soldiers under Song Chi was stationed ten kilometers outside the gate of Bei State.
Bei Jinchuan couldn't figure out the purpose of Nanyue Kingdom's move. Although Nanyue Kingdom had been in the limelight during this period and continued to annex small countries around it, it was still far from the strength of Bei Kingdom. If you say you want to annex Bei, you are undoubtedly playing with fire and burning yourself.
But one thing he can be sure of is that all the people coming to this Four Nations Banquet are evil!
Speaking of the Four Nations Banquet, Jiang Han didn't know what he thought of. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
"Oh, I see."
Bei Jinchuan looked at the unusually well-behaved person in front of him and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"By the way, there is one more thing. In three days, His Majesty will take hundreds of officials to Yunyin Temple to pray for the Shikoku Banquet. You will also go with him."
Hearing the familiar words, Jiang Han was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke after a long while.
"okay, I get it."
As autumn approaches, the weather becomes cooler and cooler. The sky outside is a bit gloomy, and the leaves rustle in the wind, as if it is about to rain. In the post house, Qing Ning was bored and teasing the parrot sent by an unknown official.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and raindrops were pouring into the house.
A gust of cold wind blew in, shaking the birdcage. The frightened parrot fluttered its wings and ran up and down, with a piece of its gorgeous feathers falling off, and it kept mumbling.
"The sky has changed, the sky has changed."
Xi Yan came in at some unknown time and closed the window to block the cold wind outside. He put his coat on Qing Ning and stepped aside respectfully without any inappropriate movements.
Qing Ning didn't even raise her head, her clothes were still loosely draped over her shoulders, and she was still standing by the birdcage teasing the parrot.
Perhaps because of the fright just now, the parrot kept scurrying up and down, making the chain jingle, and accidentally scratched the back of Qing Ning's hand with its sharp claws, leaving a long and thin scar.
The slender wounds were stained with blood and looked particularly dazzling on the white skin.
She stared at the bird in the cage coldly, with no trace of happiness or anger on her beautiful face.
He rolled his sleeves and sneered coldly, "What an ill-fed beast."
The parrot probably knew it was in trouble and huddled quietly in the corner.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the attendants around them quickly lowered their heads, for fear of affecting themselves.
In the quiet room, the only sound was the sound of rain hitting the windows. Xi Yan, as if he didn't notice anything, respectfully handed the ointment he carried to Qing Ning.
Qingning had no intention of answering, but kept staring at the ferocious half-mask on Xi Yan's face.
She sat on the soft couch and waved, and Xi Yan knelt down obediently. Her expression of complete surrender made her face soften a lot. Her delicate jade fingers slowly lifted his chin and pressed it against his face with a meaningful expression. said the pointed one.
"An immature beast deserves to die, what do you think?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the parrot in the birdcage suddenly let out a scream, and then died in the birdcage without breathing. Its bright feathers lost their luster and became dim. You can vaguely see them through the light outside the window. Several black worms were crawling on the parrot carcass.
Xi Yan's expression did not change, and he still maintained the posture of applying ointment with his hands.
"It would be a pity to die if you hurt the princess."
It was such dull and boring words again, as if no matter how she played around, tested, or even made any ambiguous moves, she could not break the distinction between monarch and minister that he abided by.
If it weren't for that ferocious mask that constantly reminded her of everything that had happened, she would even doubt whether someone like him would really be loyal to someone.
Qing Ning suddenly lost interest, and even looking at the cold mask on Xi Yan's face felt like she was laughing at her own incompetence.
Unreasonable irritability.
She leaned on the soft couch, stretched out her hands and let Xi Yan kneel on the ground to apply the ointment on her.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xi Yan knelt on the ground, carefully applied the ointment, and then stepped aside respectfully.
"Back to Princess, that one is here too."
Hearing this, Qing Ning's expression paused slightly, then returned to his natural state and murmured in a low voice.
"It's more interesting when she's here, isn't it?"
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and thick black clouds are rolling and surging, making the depressed people breathless.
It's destined to be a sleepless night.
