Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself

Chapter 156 Li Yuan's Entanglement

The next day, Du Feng received a peace agreement letter sent by Xi Liemo.

The Western Qiang Kingdom is different from the Cangyue Kingdom. The Cangyue Kingdom was originally a small country, and has always been dependent on the Li Kingdom for survival.

Therefore, when Cang Yue State launched an attack on Li State, it was undoubtedly an act of treason, so Du Feng had every reason not to accept the peace negotiation, and only accepted the opponent's surrender.

But Xiqiang is different. The two countries have always been on their own defenses and confronted each other. Although they have relaxed after a long time, the two countries have never had more intersections.

Moreover, Xiqiang is so vast that it is impossible to beat him until he surrenders.

After Du Feng received the peace agreement, he only glanced at it briefly, and then sent someone to send it to Beijing immediately for His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision.

-

Ji Ziqi knew nothing about what happened outside.

She didn't know that all those who deserved to be punished had already been punished, but she could guess.

She didn't know that Master Jiang and Master Lin had repeatedly asked the empress to see her, but the empress rejected them with various reasons.

Even Zhang Zhu rarely came to the East Palace, and she didn't know the reason.

But all of this, Ji Ziqi didn't care at all, she just concentrated on doing two things.

One is to repay the favor, wait for Li Yuan to recover from his injuries and leave the palace;

The second is to wait for Du Feng to come back.

All the deployments of Xiqiang in Li State were destroyed, and the trebuchets could not pose a threat to the Tianshui army.

Apart from surrendering or negotiating peace, Ji Ziqi really couldn't think of a third way for Xi Liemo to go.

So she waited peacefully in the palace for Du Feng to come back, waited for him to pick her up when he came back, or waited for Li Yuan's injury to heal, and she waited for him to come back in Jiang's mansion after leaving the palace.

It's just that Li Yuan's injury has been in for almost half a month, but he hasn't healed over and over again.

Ji Ziqi was puzzled, so he asked the imperial physician in private, and the imperial physician said that it might be because of the hot weather.

Ji Ziqi gathered his clothes together, it was already autumn in September, even though there was still some residual heat, it would not affect the recovery of the wound.

What's more, in order to fear that the wound would not heal well and cause complications, the empress even specially ordered someone to place some ice cubes in Li Yuan's place.

Therefore, his room can be said to have the lowest temperature in the entire palace.

Ji Ziqi took the freshly brewed medicine and walked to Li Yuan's residence.

After walking half way, a delicate beauty appeared in front of her, Ji Ziqi had seen her two or three times, she was Yun Meiren, one of Li Yuan's harem beauties.

Yun Mei was born petite and exquisite, she spoke softly, and had a small melon-seeded face the size of a palm. She looked a bit pitiful and looked like she wanted to protect her.

It's just that how many women who can survive in this palace compound and be loved are really weak and helpless?
But Ji Ziqi didn't bother to break through her disguise at all. This was the protective color she survived, or in other words, it was the weapon that this world gave women to survive.

She has no right to comment at all.

Ji Ziqi shortened his body slightly, "Minnv has seen Yun Meiren!"

"Miss Ji, get up, get up!" Yun Meiren hastily reached out to help her, "I told Miss Ji earlier that you don't need to salute when you see your sister!

You and I hit it off right away, my sister has long regarded you as a younger sister! "

"Beauty Xie Yun loves you so much! Xiaoxue is ashamed!" Ji Ziqi said softly.

Even if this Donggong is just a beauty, her background is not low, if two people become sisters, there is no such thing as a disadvantage.

But Ji Ziqi knew very well that these people's thoughts were not on this at all, they just wanted to use her to please Li Yuan, or worried that she would become one of their targets for favor.

"Oh, Miss Ji is really good!" Yun Meiren pretended to be angry and nudged her slightly, her expression was indescribably coquettish and cute.

Ji Ziqi was unmoved, just looked at her with a quiet smile.

Under the gaze of those clear eyes, Yun Meiren felt a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand to straighten her temple hair, revealing half of her arms like snow jade, "Miss Ji, the eldest prince is almost in good health now, isn't he?"

"Folk girls don't know medical skills, so don't dare to speak rashly! Miss Yunmei can ask the imperial doctor!" Ji Ziqi answered without leaking.

"Then is there anyone else waiting to meet the First Prince?" Yun Meiren asked.

"When Minnv is here, there are only the Eldest Prince, two palace servants and Minnv in the room!"

This is the question Yun Meiren really wants to ask!Is the eldest prince in good health?Have you started to invite people to sleep with you, and who are you calling?
In other words, which beauty did the First Prince allow to see him?

Ji Ziqi didn't look down on her from the bottom of his heart, but felt a little sad for her, and put all of himself on the favor of a man!
But can all this be her fault?This world is like this, not only in ancient times, even in modern times, how many women also want to use their beauty and body in exchange for a better material life?

Ji Ziqi didn't despise her, but he was unwilling to involve himself in the open and secret struggles of these people.

So for every beauty who accidentally met her, keep the same distance and etiquette, as well as the same question, which is the same answer.

Yun Meiren wanted to ask again, but Ji Ziqi raised the medicine cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Yun Meiren, the medicine is getting cold, the eldest prince is still waiting for the medicine from the girl!"

Yun Meiren was impatient, so she nodded and let her go.

Looking at the medicine cup she was holding, he couldn't help but show envy. It would be great if she was the one who cooks and delivers the medicine. Presumably after so many days, the eldest prince may have grown deeply in love with her long ago!
In fact, there was no need for Ji Ziqi to cook the medicine herself, she was just watching the palace servants cook the medicine.

She already knew what Li Yuan was thinking, even though she wanted to repay her kindness, she should try to minimize the chances of contact, this is the best way for everyone.

"Brother, sister is here to bring you medicine!" Ji Ziqi knocked on the door.

"Junior Sister, come in, the door is open." Li Yuan's voice was gentle and filled with joy.

On the second day of Ji Ziqi's stay, Li Yuan asked her not to call him the eldest prince, but hoped that she would call him senior brother.

Although Ji Ziqi wanted to keep a distance, Li Yuan's pale lips made it impossible for her to say no.

Anyway, it's just a title, so it's better to be in the Sorcerer's Association.

So he followed his wishes, when the Empress or His Majesty the Emperor was away, she would call him Senior Brother.

"Brother, how do you feel today?" Ji Ziqi put down the medicine cup and asked softly.

When Li Yuan saw her, there was a slight smile on his face, and the look in his eyes lit up a little unconsciously, "Everything is as usual, please worry about me, Junior Sister!"

"The weather is fine today. The senior brother drank the medicine later, and the junior sister pushed the senior brother to bask in the sun!" Ji Ziqi poured out the medicine, and touched the temperature of the jade cup with his hand, it was just right.

Then handed it to Li Yuan.

"Okay!" Li Yuan took the medicine without frowning, and drank it in one gulp.

Li Yuan's injuries kept recurring, Ji Ziqi didn't suspect that he secretly poured the medicine while she was away.

So in the past few days, he waited for him to drink the medicine before going to other things, but Li Yuan's injuries continued to repeat as before.

Ji Ziqi really wanted to tell another imperial doctor to take a look, but the imperial doctor who took Li Yuan's pulse was the best doctor in the palace, and he helped Li Yuan feel his pulse when he urinated.

He knew his physique well, if another person prescribed some contraindicated medicine, I'm afraid it would cause more injuries.

After drinking the medicine, Li Yuan sat in a wheelchair with the support of the palace servants, and Yu Ji Ziqi pushed him out.

Originally, the queen did not agree, but later the imperial doctor said that more exposure to the sun is good for the body, so the queen agreed.

Ji Ziqi's job became to watch the palace servants decoct medicine, deliver medicine, supervise him to take medicine, and then push him out to bask in the sun.

She positions herself as a caregiver.

The way to the garden is unimpeded.

Every time Ji Ziqi went to Li Yuan's room with the medicine, those beauties whom he always met by chance would automatically and consciously avoid them at this moment.

Li Yuan had just been injured two days ago, several beauties rushed to take care of Li Yuan, and even one, who had been with Li Yuan for many years, thought she had some feelings, and ran to his door crying.

In a fit of rage, the queen beat the beauty with a cane, and only then did the others calm down.

It is said that the beauty has been bedridden for more than ten days and still can't get out of bed. If it wasn't for Li Yuan's serious injury, the empress didn't want to make a fuss, which meant that the beauty would have died long ago.

After that, no one dared to clamor to take care of Li Yuan, and no one dared to sneak to guard the door of his room.

Although the garden in the East Palace is not as good as the Imperial Garden, it is also unique.

It's the season of chrysanthemums blooming again, looking at the chrysanthemums blooming in full bloom in the garden, Ji Ziqi thought of the sea of ​​chrysanthemums he took her to see after he got engaged to Du Feng last year.

One is a high-walled house that is carefully pampered, and the other is a sky high and clouds blooming wantonly.

Just like her now and then!
At this moment, she missed the days with Du Feng even more. He seemed to never want to restrain her, let her be free, and was willing to be a warm stop when she turned around.

At this time, she also had a deeper understanding of Zhang Zhu's feeling of living in a gorgeous birdcage. She only lived in it for half a month, but Zhang Zhu lived in it for more than ten years.

From Li Yuan's point of view, the remembrance and yearning on Ji Ziqi's face is admiration for the beauty of the garden.

A trace of hope floated in his heart, and a smile bloomed on his face, "What do you think of this East Palace Garden, Junior Sister?"

"Very good!" Ji Ziqi smiled and replied politely.

"The East Palace Garden is just a small corner among thousands of beauties in this imperial palace.

In this palace, there are many things better than this scenery, as long as junior sister is willing, she can get it at any time. " Li Yuan seemed to point out something.

Ji Ziqi looked through the chrysanthemums and drifted towards the sea of ​​chrysanthemums he had seen before, pretending not to understand Li Yuan's words, and smiled without answering.

These days, Li Yuan has hinted countless times that he can give her more things, as long as she is willing to stay.

Ji Ziqi smiled lightly every time and did not take up the conversation.

And every time, Li Yuan didn't continue to ask any further questions, and after looking at her silently for a while, he turned to other topics.

Ji Ziqi thought it would be the same this time, but after a brief silence, Li Yuan continued: "Junior sister, the garden in the East Palace, which one do you think is better than the garden in the Du Mansion?"

But he had to answer this question, Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Everything in the imperial palace is the best in the world, and this garden is naturally the same. The Du Mansion cannot be compared with the Eastern Palace!"

Li Yuan was aggressive, "Which one do you like better?"

Ji Ziqi said lightly: "The flowers in this garden, from the point of view of my junior sisters, although each has its own merits, Dongying is slightly better!"

Li Yuan stared at her closely, as if he wanted to read the clue from her face, "Junior Sister, you know what Senior Brother said."

"Didn't senior brother just talk about flowers?" Ji Ziqi smiled lightly, looking at the sea of ​​flowers, slightly confused:
"If you compare flowers with flowers, the East Palace will win; if you use flowers to describe people, it depends on each person's choice.

Just like junior sister, Ruo junior sister is also a flower in this garden, but she prefers to bloom in the wild, enjoying the sunshine and rain, wind and rainstorm. "

"Even if someone tramples on it and picks it at will?" Li Yuan's face turned cold.

Ji Ziqi said lightly: "If it is a flower, no matter where it is, it cannot escape the fate of being picked! Since it is fate, why force it?

Just like people are mortal, but everyone still wants to live this life vigorously before death, instead of lying in bed waiting to die. "

Li Yuan pressed harder and harder, "But whether it's a flower or a person, you can choose to die in a more stable and comfortable way."

"Brother is right, the most important thing is to have a choice! Some people choose to die alone, while others choose to die lively.

It is precisely because there are thousands of worlds with various forms that this world is so colorful! "Ji Ziqi said:
"Everyone can choose the life they want to live within their ability, instead of becoming the same flowers in the greenhouse."

Li Yuan said: "If junior sister stays in this palace, senior brother can still let junior sister live the life he wants to live."

The corner of Ji Ziqi's mouth turned up, and instead of answering him, he asked instead: "What kind of life does the senior think that the junior sister wants to live?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Ji Ziqi looked into his eyes, and that indifferent gaze seemed to be looking into the depths of his eyes, "The life my junior sister wants to live is to form a warm small family with the one I love, to have children, and to start a family. Happy together."

"With the ability of my junior sister, why do I need to wrong myself so much?" Li Yuan seemed unable to believe that she would say such ordinary words like a woman in the world.

"Don't be wronged! A woman's destiny is just to find a man who is devoted to her, and she will be a couple for the rest of her life, and junior sisters are no exception!"

Ji Ziqi said: "Besides, he will never restrain Junior Sister, he will stand behind Junior Sister, be the strongest backing for Junior Sister, and watch Junior Sister grow step by step with a proud face."

"Senior brother can do it too!" Li Yuan raised his voice a bit, "As long as junior sister is willing to give senior brother a chance, senior brother will definitely be able to do it!"

"Brother, there is a kind of affection in this world called love, which can surpass all the mundane world. You can only see him in your eyes and think of him in your heart."

Ji Ziqi said leisurely: "It's not because he can do anything for me, but because he is him.

The junior sister likes him just because he is Du Feng!Just like a person cannot escape the fate of death after all, he is the fate of junior sister! "

Li Yuan's face became hideous and ugly, and he roared angrily: "I'm not reconciled! He just knew you before me! Why?
If he is your fate, I will change my fate against the sky and break this fate! "

Ji Ziqi was startled by his sudden roar, and stared at him blankly, "Brother, why are you bothering? Everyone has their own destiny, and brother will meet his own destiny sooner or later!"

"I don't want it! If it wasn't for you, I don't want anything else!" Li Yuan seemed to be in a state of madness, his whole body was tense, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the push chair were swollen.

This kind of Li Yuan was also something Ji Ziqi had never seen before, and she was really frightened.

With a pale complexion, a terrified expression, Li Yuan's somewhat dispirited face was reflected in his clear eyes.

Li Yuan looked at himself in the reflection, let out a few long breaths, his mood gradually calmed down, and his chest caused a sharp pain because of the excitement just now.

It appears the wound has opened.

fair enough!Li Yuan thought mockingly, at least he didn't have to do it himself.

There is no need to force the imperial doctor to hide it for him, and there is no need to be ashamed of the distressed look at the empress.

There is another excuse to let her stay for a few more days!
Li Yuan took a few deep breaths, lowered his eyes slowly, with a sluggish expression, "Junior Sister, I've been out for a long time today, Senior Brother is a bit tired, send Senior Brother back to his room."

"Senior brother," Ji Ziqi looked at his suddenly pale face, and asked cautiously, "But did you hurt the wound? Junior sister, call the imperial doctor to come over and have a look!"

"No need!" Li Yuan said coldly, "Send senior brother back to his room!"

There was an irresistible look on his face.

Ji Ziqi didn't dare to say any more, so he had to send him back to his room.

He also told the palace servants at the side that if the eldest prince felt uncomfortable, they should immediately go to the imperial doctor and inform her.

After the commotion in the garden today, Li Yuan returned to normal, and talked softly with Ji Ziqi about irrelevant topics every day.

Occasionally, after Ji Ziqi pretended not to know how to deal with the past skillfully or avoided answering, he stopped entanglement.

Ji Ziqi felt a little relieved, he must be slowly giving up!

In this way, more than ten days have passed, and the first qualification examination under the new system of the Sorcerers Association has also ended.

After President Mei's incident was exposed, everyone in the Sorcerer's Association was shocked.

The few students who were incited by President Mei to incite people to boycott the new system and spread rumors were also arrested by the Ministry of Officials and severely punished.

The other bewitched people are in constant panic, fearing that one day it will be their turn.

Fortunately, Master Jiang and others came forward to intercede, His Majesty ordered the others to be exempted from responsibility for the time being, and strictly ordered them to abide by their responsibilities in the future, and stop believing rumors!

At fifteen, the results of the qualifying exam came out.

Tian Li and the others really achieved top grades, and Gu Fuzi, Master Lu, Master Ma, and Master Feng also achieved top grades.

But about [-]% of the people were not so lucky. They got B grades and were demoted.

There was an uproar all over the country.

Those people who used to be arrogant and arrogant, their original level was just like this, and they showed their real bodies after a try.

The mood of the entire art world has gradually improved.

On the [-]th, His Majesty the Emperor received the peace agreement from Xiqiang sent non-stop from the front line of Tianshui.

Earlier, Du Feng had sent this information to Beijing by flying pigeons.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was still in the wrath of his son Li Yuan being seriously injured by Xiqiang assassins.

After receiving the news, he did not discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and put it aside.

The ministers who knew the news did not dare to take the initiative to mention it, for fear of being affected by His Majesty's anger.

Anyway, Tianshui is far away from Beijing, and it will take some time for the Xiqiang peace agreement to arrive. When the peace agreement arrives, maybe His Majesty's anger will disappear, and it will not be too late to discuss it.

Now that the peace agreement has arrived, His Majesty the Emperor knew that it could not be delayed any longer, so he raised the matter in the court.

All the ministers below looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, not daring to answer this question.

It has been more than a month since the eldest prince Li Yuan's injury has not healed yet, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress may be very worried about this.

His Majesty the Emperor also knew the thoughts of these courtiers, so he directly called the names, "Cui Aiqing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, let me tell you your opinion first!"

Master Cui stepped forward, "Return to Your Majesty, I think this Western Qiang wolf is ambitious, and I'm afraid we need to carefully consider the matter of peace negotiation."

"Where's Lin Aiqing from the household department?" His Majesty the Emperor remained calm.

Mr. Lin felt Gordon in his heart, and said bravely: "Return to Your Majesty, the Xiqiang assassin severely injured the eldest prince, and the old minister thinks that he should not let it go easily!"

"So Lin Aiqing thinks that I should continue to attack Xiqiang for the sake of my emperor's son, in vain for the common people, and exhausted the treasury?"

His Majesty's voice was flat but cold, and Lord Lin immediately knelt down in shock, "Your Majesty, calm down! This old minister didn't mean that!"

"Then don't play tricks on me one by one! My emperor's son has not recovered from his serious injury, and I am very heartbroken. I really want to tear Xi Qiang into pieces!"

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became angry, and said sharply: "But I am not just a father, but also the king of all the people in this Li country! How can I put all the people in danger for the sake of my emperor's son?"

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the ministers below showed panic, and knelt down and bowed one after another.

His Majesty the Emperor snorted again, "The Xiqiang peace talks must come to a conclusion today. If anyone dares to play tricks again, don't blame me for being ruthless, and punish all the lovers for their crimes!"

The emperor was furious, and the officials put away their small thoughts and carefully considered the words, not only to ensure that the point was made, but also to ensure that the emperor was not accidentally angered.

Based on the current national strength and military strength of the Li State, several major ministries suggested that the peace should be negotiated with the Xiqiang, because the conditions for the peace negotiation of the Xiqiang can be said to be quite sincere.

Within 20 years, he will never take the initiative to attack the Li country. He is willing to offer jade war horses and other tributes worth about 500 million taels every year.

Such conditions, rather than negotiating peace, are actually considered surrender.

This is one of the reasons His Majesty the Emperor is willing to face up to.

If Xi Liemo, the king of Xiqiang, hadn't written this peace agreement in such a humble and sincere tone as a subordinate country, he was afraid that he would not be able to agree to the peace negotiation so quickly.

On September 22, the news of agreeing to negotiate peace was sent to Tianshui by Feige.

The Tianshui tent erupted with cheers.

This confrontation between Tianshui and Xiqiang was the one in which the Li army suffered the fewest casualties, killed the most enemies, and gained the most military merit.

If it weren't for the rash actions of the battalion commander during the first attack, the casualties of the Tianshui army would have been the least.

Although it is because of the help of the trebuchet, it still cannot hinder Du Feng's supreme position in the hearts of the Tianshui army.

From intentionally making things difficult at the beginning to following sincerely now.

After Du Feng ordered people to send the news to Xiqiang, he prepared to return to Beijing.

On September 26, the Tianshui army withdrew from Tianshui, some went to the southwest, and some went to the capital.

Du Feng felt a little regretful, wondering if he would be able to catch up with Ji Ziqi's birthday.

Thinking of the night of her birthday last year, Du Feng wished he could immediately grow a pair of wings and fly back.

Presumably, he already knew that Xiqiang had proposed peace and that he was going back.

Du Feng reached out to touch the chest cloth in his arms and the crumpled picture of a beauty lying on her side, secretly looking forward to what surprises his period will prepare for him after returning this time.

When Du Feng thought about it, he felt hot all over his body, and all his blood was concentrated in a certain place.

-

Li Yuan's injury finally recovered slowly.

I don't know what Huayuan said, or what, Li Yuan stopped torturing his wound and took medicine on time. After more than half a month, the injury gradually recovered.

Ever since his medicine was changed from three times a day to once every three days, Ji Ziqi had intentionally or unintentionally hinted several times that it was time for her to leave the palace.

Li Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and talked about other things, and never answered the topic of letting her out of the palace.

Ji Ziqi had no choice but to stay in his room as much as possible to reduce the contact time with Li Yuan.

Fortunately, after Li Yuan recovered from his injury, His Majesty the Emperor began to let him take over part of the government affairs, and he was gradually busy, so he didn't have time to visit her.

It's just that living in the East Palace for a long time will always attract criticism.

Ji Ziqi didn't really care too much about it, but she didn't want the Jiang family and Du Feng to bear unwarranted rumors.

She didn't know how much effort Duan Duxi had spent outside to prevent such rumors.

It is said that in recent days, Li Yuan's prestige has risen to another level in the hearts of the people and officials.

The reason is that he blocked the sword for her.

It was supposed to be a love story of a glamorous hero saving a beautiful woman, but due to Duan Duxi's proper handling, it became the eldest prince's sacrifice to save a talented person.

On the day Ji Ziqi first entered the palace, Du Le approached Du An Du Xi.

Because he was by Ji Ziqi's side, he knew Li Yuan's plan for Ji Ziqi better than the two of them.

Therefore, I hope that Du An and Du Xi can find a way so that the young master will not lose his wife as soon as he comes back, and his fiancée will not become a concubine.

People have already entered the palace, and it is impossible to enter the palace to rob people.

The only way is to use public opinion to make the eldest prince dare not act rashly.

Therefore, this story of sacrificing one's life to save others spread among the public under the premise of deliberately blurring Ji Ziqi's gender.

Li Yuan also knew that he had made a big fuss in private, but the news had spread and no one could undo it.

His Majesty the Emperor once persuaded him to let go. If the people and officials knew, he did not save her because he wanted to put his subjects in danger.

But when he was just a prince who was obsessed with beauty, he was afraid that the prestige accumulated with great difficulty would fall to the bottom.

"Yuan'er, if you were an ordinary person, sacrificing your life to save a beauty would be a good story passed down through the ages.

But you are the prince of Li country, the future emperor!You are so indiscriminate between public and private, and you ignore Li Guo for the sake of a woman, who would believe you?

How can you have prestige, let all the courtiers act according to your wishes, and shape the Li country according to your ideas? "

Li Yuan never knew it in his heart, but when he thought of that woman with a shallow smile, he couldn't let go no matter what!
Ji Ziqi silently calculated in his mind the day when Du Feng would return to Beijing, and estimated that it would be the end of October at the earliest.

It's only been ten days, she thought in her heart, and it will be over after a while.

As the day when Tianshui's army returned to the capital drew closer, Li Yuan's temper became more and more irritable.

Sometimes the palace man accidentally did a small thing wrong, and he would be furious.

This made everyone in the East Palace feel insecure, even those beauties who wished for him to recover soon, did not dare to move forward after he really recovered, for fear of being angered.

Only when Ji Ziqi appeared, Li Yuan would return to the magnanimous eldest prince in everyone's mind.

Therefore, everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that the Miss Ji who lived in the Eastern Palace, who was commensurate with the eldest prince's brother and sister, was Li Yuan's most valued woman.

Perhaps from the day she entered the Eastern Palace, these fine-looking people in the palace have long been aware of it.

What puzzled them was how could Miss Ji be entangled with the First Prince after hearing that she was General Weiyuan's fiancée?

If the engagement between those two has been broken, then why doesn't the eldest prince give her a title quickly?
And I heard that Miss Ji's name is not included in the list of concubine candidates selected by the empress for the eldest prince!

The palace people were all confused, they didn't dare to offend Ji Ziqi, and at the same time they didn't dare to join her side casually.

It made Ji Ziqi happy to be at ease.

As time drew closer, Ji Ziqi became more and more nervous.

Li Yuan still had no intention of letting her go out of the palace, she had to prepare for the worst in her heart.

Pretending to be bored and wanting to embroider, she asked the palace man for scissors and other embroidery items.

Then secretly hid in the sleeves, pretending to have accidentally lost the scissors.

October 25th, Ji Ziqi's birthday, three days before Du Feng returned to Beijing.

Li Yuan knew from nowhere that today is Ji Ziqi's birthday, so he ordered someone to prepare a banquet, saying that he would celebrate her birthday with her.

Because of Li Yuan's injury, the queen specially ordered two imperial chefs from the imperial dining room to suit Li Yuan's taste.

The specially prepared meals are naturally very delicate. Ji Ziqi recalled the scene of celebrating his birthday with Ji's family last year, and he had no taste for the table full of meals.

Li Yuan prepared bouillon, poured two glasses himself, put one in front of Ji Ziqi, raised his glass and said: "Junior Sister, it's your birthday today, Senior Brother respects you."

Ji Ziqi didn't want to drink at first, but Li Yuan's complexion didn't look very good tonight, she didn't want to get too entangled with him.

Sui said: "Thank you, senior brother! Junior sister is not good at drinking, so I can only think about it, senior fellow!" Then he raised the wine cup, put it to his lips, sipped it lightly, and quickly wiped it away with his sleeve.

After drinking two small cups of sake on his birthday last year, he became confused like that, which shows that this body is too sensitive to alcohol, and Ji Ziqi dare not take risks.

Li Yuan did it in one gulp, seeing Ji Ziqi's heart thumping, seeing him immediately poured another glass, he quickly reached out to stop him: "Senior brother, your body is just right, the imperial doctor said, you can't drink alcohol, senior brother, don't drink any more." drink!"

Li Yuan ignored her, picked up his glass, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then filled it up again.

Ji Ziqi had no choice but to grab the flagon while he was drinking, put two chopsticks of vegetables into his bowl, and said with a light smile: "Senior brother, drinking on an empty stomach will hurt your health, eat more food."

Li Yuan's face darkened, and he called out: "Come here, bring another pot of wine!"

The atmosphere was a bit tense, Ji Ziqi stood up, lowered his eyes and saluted, and said lightly: "Since senior brother has a taste for drinking, junior sister will stop persuading him.

But junior sister is not good at drinking, so don't bother senior brother.Junior sister farewell! "

She turned around to leave, but Li Yuan suddenly grabbed her hand and tugged hard.

Ji Ziqi hurriedly supported the table and fell back on the chair in embarrassment.

Because of this movement, the jug on the table was overturned, and the wine poured down and dripped onto her dress.

The wine was lukewarm, but it didn't feel cold for the time being.

The room was suddenly filled with the fragrance of wine, intoxicating.

"Brother, please let go!" Ji Ziqi said with a stern face, with a bit of anger.

The anger on Li Yuan's face was even worse, "Brother just wanted to celebrate his birthday with Junior Sister, and he was so happy that he wanted to drink two more glasses. Doesn't Junior Sister honor this bit of face?"

"Senior sister is very grateful for the brother's kindness. It's just that the status of the senior brother is different, and he is injured, so he should cherish his body!" Ji Ziqi desperately wanted to pull back his hand.

However, Li Yuan held tightly, but he didn't let go.

Ji Ziqi gave up trying to break free, and said coldly, "Senior sister has received your brother's wish. It's getting late, and it's time for junior sister to go back to rest."

"Go back to rest? The junior sister just wants to take this opportunity to stay away from the senior brother?" Li Yuan was angry in his heart, and his hands squeezed hard, causing Ji Ziqi's hand to hurt.

She tried not to make a sound, and simply decided to speak, "Brother, your injury is already healed, Junior Sister wants to go out of the palace tomorrow, I hope Senior Brother will allow it!"

"Want to leave the palace? Is it because you know he's coming back soon?" Li Yuan sneered and said, "Then brother tell the younger sister the truth, without my permission, you can never take a step out of this east palace!"

"Does the eldest prince want to imprison the daughter of the people?" After tearing it apart, Ji Ziqi didn't bother to go around with his brothers and sisters. He was afraid in his heart, but he still asked sharply.

The other hand rested lightly on his waist, and when he touched the scissors hidden here, he felt a little more settled.

"So what? Does he still dare to enter this East Palace to snatch it?" Li Yuan's mouth curled up in a cruel arc, "If that's the case, it's just for the emperor to punish him for the capital crime he committed!"

Ji Ziqi was too angry to speak.

Dare to let him go out of the palace all this time, is this the idea?
With Du Feng's temperament, he might really do this in a fit of anger.

Ji Ziqi was so angry that he calmed down, pursed his lips, and smiled brightly at Li Yuan, but his words pierced Li Yuan's heart like a sharp arrow: "If he really does something treacherous for the sake of Minnv, Minnv will accompany him to the underworld." , so why not be a mandarin duck with the same fate!"

That decisive smile was so radiant that Li Yuan's heart stopped suddenly, and then a sharp pain spread from the bottom of his heart.

"For him, you beat and dealt with your parents, regardless of accompanying him to the underworld?"

Ji Ziqi firmly said: "If it's the other way around, he will do the same! When Princess Zhangzhu summoned the miner, he was afraid that the miner would be hurt, so he planned to take the miner away, but the miner stopped her.

Later, when he was in the underground palace, in order to meet Minnv, he did not hesitate to make Mrs. Liu stunned him, and only begged him to lock him up with Minnv;
When the mystery of the underground palace was solved, he was the one who rushed in front of the girl and risked his life to break the underground palace!

He can put life and death aside for Minnv, and Minnv can go to hell together for him! "

There was a hint of humility in Li Yuan's voice, "I can also give my life for you! Couldn't the sword that was blocked that day prove my intention?"

Thinking of his reckless blocking at that time, Ji Ziqi's heart suddenly softened a little, she lowered her eyelids, "Prince, the daughter of the people is very grateful to the prince for saving his life!

But First Prince, the daughter of the people has nothing but gratitude for you!If the Eldest Prince insists on asking for the kindness that the Minnv cannot afford, the Minnv can only pay you with a sword, and the two are even worth it! "

As soon as the words fell, the blood on Li Yuan's face faded quickly, his chest heaved violently, he shook off Ji Ziqi's hand forcefully, stood up abruptly, and kicked towards the table of exquisite food.

The table fell over, and the delicate jade cups holding the dishes on the table collided together. As expected of the royal jade cups, there was a pleasant sound of broken porcelain.

"Get lost!" Li Yuan roared, his voice was filled with helplessness and anger like a beast whose head had its claws removed.

Ji Ziqi hurriedly saluted, and left Li Yuan's room without the slightest nostalgia.

The moment he stepped through the door, Ji Ziqi heard Li Yuan's angry and suppressed roar behind him, but he still didn't turn his head.

Ji Ziqi didn't know how angry Li Yuan was after leaving, he only knew that after he left his room, he involuntarily trot all the way back to his room.

It wasn't until he locked the door, pressed his back against the door, and put his hands on his chest, that he realized that his heart was beating so fast.

She closed her eyes, gasped for breath, and called silently in her heart: Du Feng, come back quickly!
Du An and Du Xi didn't dare to tell Du Feng about Ji Ziqi's imprisonment in the East Palace, so Du Feng, who arrived in the capital early at noon on the 27th, was unaware of all these things that happened.

There were still three days before the army arrived, and Du Feng, who couldn't wait to come back, went back to the Du Mansion first, planning to wash up before going to see Ji Ziqi, whom he had been thinking about for a long time.
