"Think about it, even we have to send gifts to the emperor's birthday banquet. How can Zhu Zhelin not go? As long as he goes, we can send people to sneak into his house to check whether he is hiding people. It’s inside the house!” Zhu Qing thought that this plan was perfect, and after finishing speaking, he gave Ye Zi a thumbs up!
Ye Zi's expression was not very good after hearing this, "Princess, your plan is good, but... the emperor's birthday banquet is in half a month. Do you think Zhao Xuanyi still can't find the kidnapped girl in this half month?" ?"
"Uh... this? This is just a backup plan! But what else can we do? We finally found an opportunity to cooperate with Zhao Xuanyi, but it turned out to be Zhu Zhelin's plan. It's really annoying!"
"We must not take it lightly. Zhu Zhelin is more terrifying than imagined!"
"I know it too! But how else can we help Zhao Xuanyi? It's not a good idea to become his enemy now. It will be difficult to get the map in that case!"
Ye Zi didn't know what to do. After all, this matter was not a simple matter. Asking Zhao Xuanyi to hand over the treasure map? It's almost impossible!
Just as the two girls were thinking, there was a sudden sound of waving wings. Ye Zi turned his head and saw a pigeon parked outside the window. He hurriedly opened the window, took the pigeon back, and took down the note: "Princess, Our people have sent news again!"
After Zhu Qing took it over, he opened the note and read it. After reading it, he frowned slightly and gave the note to Ye Zi. Ye Zi took it over and looked at it carefully, "We found another group of strange people? This...?"
"The capital has been really lively recently, with so many strange people here!" Zhu Qing said with a smile.
"Princess, what should we do this time? Do we want to send a letter to Zhao Xuanyi immediately?"
"No! I guess Zhao Xuanyi won't trust us now. We can't act rashly until we find out. If it's Zhu Zhelin's trap again, we really have no fate with the treasure map!"
"Then...what should we do?"
"How long will it take for our people to arrive in the capital?"
"At least half a day!"
"Sure, you immediately send a message to them by flying pigeons, asking them to set off tomorrow morning and arrive outside the capital at noon, and then rest in the afternoon. In the evening we will take people to see this place in person. If it is true, we will rescue people directly and send them to Zhao Xuanyi. If it is If they are fake, we will kill them all and then hide them without leaving any traces!"
"Yes!" Ye Zi nodded.
Zhu Qing looked at the candle in front of him with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. There was only one way to get the map now! I hope this time it’s not fake and I can find even one person!
When the sky became bright again, Zhao Xuanyi breathed out slowly and didn't sleep all night again. After being tricked by Zhu Zhelin yesterday, Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but feel even more irritable. He didn't know how Du Xinyu is doing now? It’s such a cold day, just don’t get sick!
Zi Yuan walked up to Zhao Xuanyi and took a bowl of fish soup. "Husband, would you like some soup? How can your body hold up if you don't sleep tonight?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "This bastard Du Xinyu, when she comes back this time, I will lock her up with a chain, so that she will cause trouble for me!"
Zi Yuan laughed after hearing this, "I have no problem with you letting go!"
Zhao Xuanyi picked up the bowl and drank the fish soup in one gulp. Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Didn't anyone send a letter today? Or was it a threat?"
"No!"
"It's strange. They arrested people and didn't even give me an agreed-upon location. Map and I immediately sat down and sent them there? These people are not behaving normally!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Who knows what these bastards are thinking? It's already dawn, why don't you go take a rest?"
"No, I feel more at ease sitting here!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he supported his cheek with one hand and slowly closed his eyes.
Zi Yuan saw Zhao Xuanyi's tiredness and felt worried, but she could understand him. There was nothing anyone could do now, and there was no better way. They could only wait. Zi Yuan walked out of the hall and looked into the side room, looking out of the window.
You can still see thick smoke billowing from the gap inside, and I don’t know what’s going on inside!
Inside the inn, Shen Weiwei sat bored by the window, looking at the people coming and going below with a dull expression. Song Liuqing walked in from the outside, holding a paper bag in her hand! He casually placed it in front of Shen Weiwei, "The sesame cakes I just bought!"
Shen Weiwei opened the bag, picked up a sesame seed cake and took a bite, "Why are you so quiet today?"
"Then what else do you want? Have someone attack the capital?"
"Zhao Xuanyi suffered a loss yesterday. I guess he won't take action easily these days. It's so boring!"
"He's not a fool!"
"Although he is already suffering, it's not enough. What else should I do? At least I can make him restless day and night!"
"By the way, our people sent news today that a group of foreign troops are about to arrive in the capital!"
"A foreigner? What kind of person? Whose person?"
"It seems to belong to King Yongle. Is it probably Zhu Qing who summoned them here?"
"Zhu Qing? Suddenly summoned the hidden troops? Is there some big move?" Zhu Qing? smiled. "It should be fun! How many people are there?"
"About a hundred people!"
"Haha! Interesting, what is this princess going to do? Let our people pay close attention, and be sure to notify me as soon as there is any news!"
"Yes, my lord!" Song Liuqing replied boredly. ap.
When the time came to noon, Ye Zi walked into the room, "Princess, our people have arrived and are currently repairing eight kilometers outside the capital. If we get closer, I'm afraid the Qilin Guards and other forces will find out!"
"Yeah! Well done! Let them rest immediately, and I will lead them into action tonight!"
After Ye Zi heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Princess, do you want to go into battle in person?"
"Is there any controversy about this? This princess's martial arts skills don't need anyone to protect her!"
"My maid can just take someone with me. If something unexpected happens to you, my maid...?" Ye Zi looked worried!
Zhu Qing turned around and came to Ye Zi, gently held Ye Zi's chin, lowered his head and kissed Ye Zi on the lips, "I don't want to see you have an accident, fool!"
Ye Zi's face turned red with embarrassment, and he nodded slightly!
Outside the Meridian Gate of the palace, a very gorgeous carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. Qi Mingshan got off the carriage, then opened the curtain, and saw Qi Qingyu wearing a white dress, slowly getting off the carriage and turning around. I looked at the palace and felt uneasy!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qi Mingshan asked.
"Brother, is it really okay for me to go see the queen now?"
"My silly sister, the queen summoned you to enter the palace this time. What are you afraid of?"
"But...I haven't entered the palace for two months, and?" The prince didn't seem to like seeing her!
Qi Mingshan naturally knew what his sister was thinking and said, "You don't have to worry about anything else. The queen likes you. She is the one in charge of the harem. What do you have to fear? What's more...?"
Before Qi Mingshan finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned around and saw two royal guards leading two horses to the palace gate. Zhu Wenyu and Lan Chuyin, brother and sister, walked from He walked out of the Meridian Gate, then jumped on his horse and ran outside!
After Qi Mingshan saw it, he immediately walked to the middle of the road, clasped his hands and saluted, "See you, Prince!"
Zhu Wenyu stopped the horse and looked at the two people condescendingly. Especially when he saw Qi Qingyu, an impatient look appeared in his eyebrows, "Young Master Qi is really a free man! He doesn't have to be busy with business every day. It's really refreshing." I am so envious of you!"
When Qi Mingshan heard this, he felt slightly uneasy, but there was no expression on his face. "The prince misunderstood. The queen suddenly summoned my sister to the palace today. My father was afraid that my sister would not understand the rules and anger the queen, so he asked me to escort him and leave it to my sister." Some rules!"
"Hmph! Mr. Qi is really a man who understands the rules, but... he doesn't seem to understand his identity. Even if he is looked down upon by others and annoying, he still
I really admire you for enjoying it all the time! "
"This...?" Zhu Wenyu's words made Qi Mingshan's face turn red as if on fire, but he did not dare to refute anything!
Lan Chuyin drove her horse to Qi Qingyu and looked at the girl carefully. "What a pity!" Three words came out from her lips!
Qi Qingyu looked at Lan Chuyin, bowed and saluted, "Is this sister talking about a little girl?"
"yes!"
"I wonder what sister means?"
"You have grown up to be a beauty, but you don't want to be a beauty, but you become an annoying person. Are you really happy doing this?" Lan Chuyin asked coldly.
"Sister, please speak with dignity!" Even though Qi Qingyu's identity is revealed in front of them, she is still a lady, how can she tolerate being belittled like this?
"I only apologize for the wrong things I did and the wrong words I said, but you won't get my apology! Senior brother, let's go!" Lan Chuyin looked at Zhu Wenyu and shouted.
Zhu Wenyu glanced at the siblings coldly, then said nothing, swung the reins, turned around, and rode away quickly with Lan Chuyin.
Although Zhu Wenyu left, his words just now deeply hurt Qi Qingyu's heart. Anyone can understand what those words meant.
Qi Qingyu looked at Qi Mingshan, "Brother, do we have to live such a humble life? What if we don't enter this palace? Isn't it the same life? Why do we have to accept the humiliation of others every day?"
Qi Mingshan laughed when he heard Qi Qingyu's words, "Isn't it hard to hear? Isn't it uncomfortable? I can't help it. We were born to be insulted by them! And if you don't want to be insulted, it's very simple. Go in now and follow father's instructions. Let’s plan, one day, you, me, us! We can insult them just like they insulted us!”
After Qi Qingyu heard this, her eyes were full of surprise and her mouth moved, but she didn't make any sound!
"No need to say anything, just go!" Qi Mingshan said with a smile.
Qi Qingyu looked at the gate of the palace with despair in his eyes. He sighed softly, then turned around and walked into the palace!
Zhu Wenyu and Lan Chuyin came to the Protector's Mansion. When they came in, they saw Zhao Xuanyi resting. They said nothing. Zi Yuan was about to wake up Zhao Xuanyi, but Zhu Wenyu made a stop gesture and sat quietly. The chair on the side did not disturb Zhao Xuanyi's rest! He reached out and called Zi Yuan over!
"How is the map doing?" Zhu Wenyu said softly.
"all the best!"
Zhu Wenyu nodded, now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind! Turning to look at Zhao Xuanyi, he was exhausted. Zhu Wenyu sighed. This time things were too passive. If he could fight with real swords and guns, he wouldn't be so worried!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up again, he saw Zhu Wenyu and Lan Chuyin already sitting in the hall. Zhao Xuanyi rubbed his eyes, "Seventh brother, you are here!"
"Brother, please pay more attention to your body. Look at you, how many days have it been? You have lost a lot of weight!"
"When this matter is settled, just eat more meat!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zi Yuan aside, "No news yet?"
Zi Yuan shook his head, Zhao Xuanyi took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart ignited several times, but there was no other way. If he found evidence, no matter who the other party was, he must catch it and play slowly!
Suffering, still suffering, from day to night, from night to day, Zhao Xuanyi even felt a little dazed. These days, he was confused, no longer distinguishing between day and night. He gently touched his lips with his hand and found that fire had grown on his mouth. Bubble!
Wang Dengdeng was very considerate and sent her Chinese medicine to reduce inflammation and internal heat. This is the only thing Zhao Xuanyi can drink now. He has barely eaten all day and really can't eat it!
