It was night, the moon was as cold as water, and the garden was silent.
Mo Qing and Yi slept until three o'clock in the morning before slowly getting up from the bed.
"When will your legs heal?" When I looked up, I found that Bai Yanxi, a lazy fox, had her legs crossed again, lying on the table like a boneless person, peeling melon seeds out of boredom.
Mo Qingyu raised his body up with his arms, his black hair draped over his shoulders like a waterfall, and said sleepily: "Ah, it's almost here."
She had been seriously injured before, and it didn't matter whether she had a body or not because of her demonic aura, but after all, she was living in the human world, so she had no choice but to condense her body.
It's just a pity that the magic power is not enough, and the body is half disabled. When she regains her strength and opens up the meridians in her legs, she will be the same as before.
"Then what state are you in now?" Bai Yanxi dragged her chin and looked the other person up and down. Yesterday, they exchanged half a move in a hurry, but looking at the other person's appearance, it didn't look like he had that kind of strength. situation.
Mo Qingyu thought for a while and said slowly: "Well, Nascent Soul, you can occasionally use the strength of the early Mahayana."
She rubbed her brows painfully and sighed: "It's not even close."
This man's very troubled look really made others laugh and cry. There are so many people practicing Taoism in the world, and there are only a handful of people who have been able to practice to the Mahayana stage for nearly a thousand years.
The dead Yiqing Master counts as one, the current Gu Yanzhi counts as one, the Demon King Bai Yanxi counts as one, and the mysterious Ghost Emperor counts as one, plus the former Mo Qing and Mo Qing, they have all been born in these thousands of years. These few.
But when I think about how many years these humans, monsters, demons, etc. have lived, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept.
Bai Yanxi propped her head and said regretfully: "Without you, I won't be able to find anyone who can fight with me."
Mo Qing and Mo Qing were just about to say that you can go find Gu Lian to beat him, when they heard Jiang Si knocking on the door.
Jiang Sidao: "Master, Prime Minister Wei Jun is here."
After Mo Qing let her in, he asked, "Prime Minister? Who is he again?"
Jiang Sidao: "The Prime Minister of Great Xia, Wei Jun, whose courtesy name is Shouli, was the number one scholar in the 12th year of Mingde. He is a veteran of two dynasties. He has a smooth personality and does not involve himself in party disputes. He is a difficult old fox..."
"Pa-ta-" The tea cup in Bai Yanxi's hand was pinched with lines. She knocked the cup on the table and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the fox?"
Jiang Si felt a chill in his heart. Damn it, he had forgotten about this god of death.
He immediately smiled and said: "I am saying that people are smart, as high as a fox, very high IQ!"
Bai Yanxi's ruffled hair was smoothed down, and she hummed, "It's weird if I believe you."
Mo Qingyu glanced at the two people and knocked on the edge of the bed: "Continue."
Jiang Si coughed lightly: "Wei Jun came here several times as early as the days when Li Yu disappeared, but he never heard any news."
"Wei Jun has always been a close minister of the emperor. The emperor had always kept this news secret before. He probably got the news from the emperor now."
"I want to get a share of the pie." Mo Qing understood. Although Li Yu was a Taiwei, he still had many properties in the capital. Even if they were not assigned to his name, they were actually still Controlled by the Li family.
Once Li Yu was imprisoned by the emperor, the Li family was like a tree, and everyone wanted to get involved.
After all, who will have more money first?
"Let's go take a look." Mo Qing raised his eyes and said.
After she changed her clothes, Jiang Si pushed her in a wheelchair and led her to the main room.
Li Pei was still the only one sitting in the hall presiding over the overall situation. Li Yu's second son, Li Xuan, was the most helpless, so he was thankful that he wasn't causing trouble at the moment.
Li Pei, about thirty years old, was sitting on the main seat, sipping tea with a sad look on his face.
Although he is young, he is thoughtful, Mo Qing said to himself before he even got closer.
Li Peidao: "This... I really appreciate your concern, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Wei Jun was a little old man with a white beard and rosy cheeks. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I and Mr. Li are officials in the same court. We have to help each other for good or bad. No matter what happens, no matter what happens."
Li Pei's back teeth were almost broken, but he still had a reasonable look on his face.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Wei? If father knows about it, he will definitely pay you a good visit when he comes back."
This was said very skillfully, with a subtle sarcasm.
Wei Jun had lived for so many years, how could he be frightened by this kid? He immediately said: "Then I will sweep the couch to welcome you! Take your leave."
As soon as Mo Qing and he arrived at the door, Wei Juan was already ready to leave.
The two of them passed each other, and Mo Qing looked at his slightly light back.
Curious: "What did you just talk about?"
Li Pei's shoulders slumped and he sighed: "Now the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty know about the fact that my father was imprisoned - what is going on and what is this doing? What did my father do wrong?"
"Wei Juan is not the first to come. It has only been more than half a day since the news came out, and the entire property of the Li family will be divided up by those people!"
Oh, feelings are here to add insult to injury. Mo Qing nodded and understood.
Li Pei looked like he hadn't slept all night again, his eyes were black and blue, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
This matter really kept him busy.
"I'm afraid that Li Yu will be in trouble." Mo Qing shook her folding fan, but she still couldn't figure out how Li Yu could be imprisoned by the emperor.
It stands to reason that he was a great general during the late emperor's reign, and had made numerous military exploits. He had grown up under his eyes, so he would not have been taken away quietly, without even a name.
Even if Li Yu is no longer Mo Qing and the Demon Guard under his command, his own strength cannot be underestimated.
This capital city is half of the Li family's territory. If he was captured, the Li family wouldn't get even the slightest news.
After thinking about it, the only possibility is that Li Yu was abducted silently because he saw or heard something he shouldn't have heard at the hands of others.
Who on earth has such strength? Gu Yanzhi? However, the affairs of Yuqing Palace will definitely not cause any disputes with the court.
If it wasn't Yuqing Palace, then who could it be?
The party struggles in various dynasties have never stopped. Li Yu has always been content with himself, firmly supporting everything the emperor does, and never taking any side. Thinking about it again, it probably has something to do with this.
In the final analysis, it is still the bad things in the court.
Mo Qing and Wu Yi were also involved, and now it's difficult to stay alone.
What does it mean to make one wrong step and one wrong step at a time? This is it.
"I want to go to the palace to face the saint!" Li Pei slapped his thigh, and when Mo Qing said to him, he also reacted. He made so many mistakes and couldn't just imprison his father with no name.
Mo Qingyu scolded: "Don't go and cause trouble for me!"
Gu Yanzhi now lives in the palace. She wanted to find out the truth, but now she doesn't dare.
If the emperor doesn't release Li Yu himself, even Mo Qingyu will have no way to do it.
The palace rules of Yuqing Palace are that the disciples are not allowed to get involved in any court disputes. They can take care of the emperor's safety, but if they want to rescue Li Yu, they must take action from the emperor.
Now the emperor has something to ask of her. When she investigates the Sun Mansion's case, since the emperor has spoken in front of Gu Yanzhi, it will be a sure thing.
If Li Peiyi interferes with this again and the emperor regrets it, then Mo Qing and Ke will really have no place to cry!
So she glared at Li Pei fiercely and said, "I have my own plan."
Li Pei stamped his foot and said, "That's all, I just listen to you. I don't know why my father told us to listen to you!"
"I still have to help take care of the shop at home, and I have to keep the rest, otherwise our entire Li family will go hungry!"
He left in a hurry like a gust of wind.
Mo Qingyu breathed out slowly. It had only been two days since she had missed the days she had spent in the Demon Palace. She indulged in practicing every day and didn't have to worry about anything. How cool it was. Not only had her cultivation level declined so much, but also the time she spent practicing All gone! You have to take care of all this shit!
Mo Qingyu said that he was really tired.
…
The moon was unbelievably silent, and there was a small grove of bamboo planted in Wen Ruxi's courtyard, which made a rustling sound when the cool breeze blew.
A figure could be seen vaguely above the window paper with a slight light, lowering his head and taking off his clothes.
Taking her freshly washed long hair out of her collar, Wen Ruxi changed into her pajamas and was about to go to bed when the bamboo forest rang again.
The tips of her ears trembled, her back tensed, she turned around, put on her coat, grabbed the spear she had placed aside, and chased after him.
"what!"
Wen Ruxi held a small compass in her palm, and the pointer on the compass pointed straight in one direction.
Under the moonlight, a white figure shuttled on the roof, causing the Imperial Guards to shout one after another: "There are assassins! There are assassins!"
In the middle of the night, the courtyards in the imperial city that had turned off their lights lit up one after another.
The little emperor had just finished approving the memorial under the eyes of the Queen Mother, and was yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes when he was woken up by the commander of the Imperial Guard.
"Report——"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is an assassin in the imperial city. Please don't move around at will."
The little emperor was about to go back to the palace to sleep. When he was shouted at, he was startled. He stopped rubbing his eyes and said immediately: "Commander Zhang, don't be anxious. Please explain to me carefully what is going on?"
Commander Zhang was also called out by his subordinates. When asked by the emperor, he immediately hesitated: "This..."
The little emperor knew what was going on as soon as he saw his expression. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "I'm shocked! Why don't you take me to see him."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Tongling broke out in sweat, bent down and whispered, "Looking from the direction, it seems to be coming from Shuyu Palace."
"What?!" The little emperor's face immediately turned pale, and he ran out with his clothes in hand, "If something happens to the noble concubine, none of you will be able to escape!"
A group of imperial guards hurriedly followed the little emperor and ran towards Shuyu Palace.
As soon as Wen Ruxi followed the compass man to the top of Shuyu Hall, she saw the pointer spinning crazily as if it had failed. The last time this happened was in the Sun Mansion.
As soon as his eyes were focused, the raised knuckles of the hand holding the spear turned whiter.
