Chapter 257
The next morning.

When Li Yunqing got up from the bed, in the exquisitely furnished bedroom, there was a little maid adding coal to the charcoal basin.

The little maid looked delicate, dressed in a goose yellow cotton skirt, with buns on her head, and her ears were red from the cold. When adding charcoal, she deliberately slowed down because she was greedy for warmth, and dawdled in front of the charcoal basin for a long time.

It wasn't until someone outside called her out to do something that she reluctantly left.

Li Yunqing nestled under the quilt, half-closed her eyes, her eyelashes curled up, her snowy cheeks were flushed, watching the little maid's movements, she was stunned for a long time.

Just like that little maid, she was greedy for the warmth of the bed and didn't want to get up at all.

She glanced at the window not far away, and the snow outside had probably stopped, because it was light snow, and the ice crystals on the branches had already melted as soon as the morning sun fell.

Li Yunqing yawned, rubbed her hair in a daze, but still had no choice but to get up from the bed.

This kind of peace will not last long, and it is really nostalgic.

Just when she got up, the little maid came up with a wooden tub of hot water. Seeing Li Yunqing's bleary-eyed appearance, she was slightly taken aback.

Normally, the emperor and master are as indifferent as water, that is, kind and not serious, and at the same time make people feel unattainable, but now they just woke up, but they are really kind.

Dazed for a moment, she found that Li Yunqing was looking at her suspiciously, so she trot nervously to the sink, put down the sink, lowered her head and said, "Your Excellency has no other orders, this servant will bring you breakfast gone."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Li Yunqing had no intention of speaking, she quietly retreated.

Li Yunqing washed her face with hot water, combed the messy hair to make it smooth, then heard the sound of footsteps coming from the top of the building, and the shadow fell quickly.

"Master, Lin Qiyue will arrive in Guandu in the afternoon."

Li Yunqing's plain hand holding the comb paused slightly, a slight coldness flashed across her clear eyes.

Faster than she expected.

I'm afraid Lin Qi will feel uncomfortable if she lives an extra day.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yunqing ordered lightly: "Spread the news that Lin Qi intends to subdue the Guandu Army and conspire to usurp the throne."

Even if Lin Qi didn't mean it that way, she would still pin this shit on his head.

That way, when Bei Yejun arrives, there is a legitimate reason to kill him.

She believes that even ordinary people who don't know much about the affairs of the court can detect the tricks in it.

On the contrary, they were oppressed by Lin Qi and his subordinates. If Lin Qi fell, the common people would not be happy and would not consider so much the meaning behind it.

"Follow the order." The shadow took the order, and flew away at a high speed, leaving only an afterimage, as if it had never appeared before.

Afterwards, the little maid carrying the food box came in, gently put down the food box, took out the breakfast inside, and placed them on the table one by one.

Li Yunqing looked at the little maid's movements indifferently, she was methodical and smooth, she was able to do such a simple movement so delicately and gracefully, she looked like she was not an ordinary maid.

In fact, the little girl's movements were deliberately slowed down, the bedroom was really warm, she was reluctant to go out.

But no matter how much breakfast there is, there will be a time when it is over, so she can only retreat.

Li Yunqing looked at the back of the little maid indifferently, said in a very concise and concise way: "Stop, come here."

The little servant girl was taken aback, and looked at Li Yunqing timidly. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, she quickly walked over, bowed her knees and said respectfully: "Is there any other orders, my lord?"

Li Yunqing didn't speak any more, but lowered her head to scoop up a spoonful of porridge, slowly put it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

The air was very quiet, and the quiet little maid was a little nervous.

Although this master emperor is young, he is more oppressive than any high-ranking person. When she is not speaking, standing by the side really makes her nervous and break out in a cold sweat.

By the time Li Yunqing finished eating the porridge, the little maid was about to collapse.

"What's this called?" Li Yunqing finally spoke.

The little maid felt relieved, looked at what Li Yunqing was pointing at, and paused slightly.

Li Yunqing pointed to a plate of very delicate pastries, which looked like plum blossoms and were lifelike.

The little maid replied without thinking: "My lord, it's called Yumei Cake."

Hearing this, Li Yunqing narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the little maid lightly, and smiled slightly: "You are not the maid of this house, are you?"

The little servant girl's eyes widened in shock, and she stumbled and said, "You...are you kidding..."

Li Yunqing lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said slowly: "Yumei cake is the exclusive secret recipe of Qiongjiangxuan, a famous pastry shop in the imperial capital. Only those with financial resources can buy it. It is not something that can be made in ordinary small kitchens. Since you recognize it , is no ordinary maid."

The little maid was even more shocked, pinching her dress with her fingers nervously, looking at Li Yunqing's penetrating eyes, she finally couldn't help admitting: "Yes... I am indeed not the maid here..."

Li Yunqing asked lightly: "Then what are you doing here?"

The little maid swallowed her saliva, and said nervously: "Actually... I just want to see what the legendary Master Emperor looks like...that's why I got in..."

Li Yunqing laughed, and said that she was just a mortal, so what's so interesting about it.

"I... I'm curious, when did you suspect that I'm not a maid..." The little maid racked her brains, but couldn't figure out why, she felt that she had already pretended to be very similar.

Because staying is also boring, Li Yunqing carefully replied: "At first it was because you were afraid of the cold. Ordinary rough servant girls will not feel cold in this kind of early winter weather, unless you are a pampered adult." Miss. Later, it was because of the way you put breakfast, the innate temperament that ordinary maids don't have, and in the end... it was because of that plate of pastries."

Since she woke up in the morning and saw the little maid coming in with coal, she began to pay attention to her.

Originally, she would not have cared about it before, but now because she was afraid that she was a spy sent by Lin Qi, she made it clear.

Hearing this, the little maid looked adoring, and said eagerly: "You...you really deserve your reputation."

Even though they are about the same age, but the other party is so much smarter than herself, it really makes her feel ashamed.

If I wasn't lazy to read when I was young, it shouldn't be bad.

"Okay, if you stay here any longer, you will get frostbite, go back." Li Yunqing stood up lightly.

Regardless of whether the little maid is a spy or not, she can't let such a person of unknown origin stay by her side.

"Okay...Okay." The little maid rubbed her frozen fingers and looked at Li Yunqing reluctantly. Seeing that Li Yunqing was about to enter the inner room, she couldn't help but said, "My lord, what do you think?" , do I have any hope of becoming a female officer?"

As soon as the words fell, the little girl held her breath nervously. How much she wanted to get her affirmation, then she would always work hard in that direction, and one day, she would become a good official like her who would benefit the people of the world.

Li Yunqing did not turn around, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "No matter who it is, there is hope, I will wait and see."

After finishing speaking, her slender figure was already submerged in the brocade veil.

The little servant girl was affirmed, she jumped excitedly, ran quickly, and left the Yihai Pavilion.

Li Yunqing was sitting on a chair in the inner room, leaning against the window, looking at the scenery outside the window indifferently.

The scenery in winter is bleak, but there is nothing to see.

She just quietly waited for the passage of time, waiting for that battle to happen.

She is quiet in the General's Mansion, because she is the most central leader, but not the one who implements the plan.

But in Guandu City, it was not so quiet.

The four major lieutenants piled up all the things needed to defend the city under the tower early, and the soldiers also lined up a full 1 people.

The news of Lin Qi's plan to rebel had already spread, and the people were in panic, but they could not go out of the city to take refuge, they could only pray for safety in the city.

After all, it is a domestic struggle, not as bloody as the enemy country, and the common people are not too panicked.

Teams of soldiers patrolled the streets, especially the outskirts around the city, and scouts were deployed to report the situation at any time.

Nan Xunfei was wearing black iron armor, holding a handful of exquisite and sharp darts in his hand to play with, his fingers were flying very fast, reflecting the tension and anxiety in his heart.

It has been more than ten years since his Nan family was wiped out by Lin Qi, and now when he really wants to face Lin Qi, he feels mixed feelings in his heart, which many people can't understand.

"Nan Xun." Chang Yuexin walked up the stairs and stood on the tower, with Daqin's national flag fluttering. She raised her lips and smiled, "Why are you nervous? Soldiers will cover you with water and earth."

Nan Xunfei turned his head and stared at her deeply with serious eyes.

Chang Yuexin also turned her head, their eyes met, but she didn't understand what he was thinking.

Just like that, the air froze for a long time, Nan Xunfei turned his head back, squinted his eyes, as if muttering to himself: "Yuexin, if I'm not here, will you miss me?"

Chang Yuexin was taken aback for a moment, suffocated for breath, and asked, "Why are you not here?"

Nan Xunfei raised the corners of his lips bitterly, looking at the desolate winter scene outside the city, he whispered a little dazedly: "Actually, I am..."

"General Chang! General Long invites you to go there!"

Suddenly.

A soldier's shout came from under the tower.

Chang Yuexin didn't seem to hear, she kept watching Nan Xunfei, waiting for him to finish what he just said.

Nan Xunfei was silent for a while, and said, "Go quickly."

"Don't you have something to say?" Chang Yuexin frowned.

"It's nothing, I just want to be hypocritical." Nan Xunfei smiled wantonly, raising his eyebrows with a bit of anger.

Chang Yuexin looked at her strangely, and the soldiers below urged her again, so she could only turn around and walk down the tower.

Nan Xunfei stared deeply at Chang Yuexin, and with his back getting further and further away, he slowly stretched out his bloody palm that was scratched by a dart because of nervousness, squinted his eyes heavily, and muttered to himself: "Forget it, it's a good thing she doesn't know."

Don't tell her what she has forgotten, it will only increase your troubles.
