After a long time, those hands gently put her down.

Qi Sui'an stayed with Fu Yunqing for a day and a night. Although he had a meal and took a nap in the middle, his physical strength was not very good after all. He raised his sleeves to cover his face and yawned, and said with a smile to Fu Yunqing:

"Qingqing, you did a good job this time. I will report Li Quan's matter together with Mr. Jiang and will not give him any chance to breathe. I will also ask Your Majesty to establish laws related to domestic violence as you wish. "

"On behalf of all the women in the world, I would like to thank Your Highness for adding fuel to the flames."

Fu Yunqing respectfully sent Qi Suian into the carriage.

Jiang Xingwei changed into Chu colored crane clothes, with his black hair tied in a white jade crown, and walked down the hall: "Zuixiangju has roasted duck today. If Miss Fu is willing, I would like to invite you to join us."

It is always right to make friends with powerful people and expand your network. Fu Yunqing happened to have an empty stomach, so he nodded happily: "To be honest, Governor Jiang, he is very hungry."

"Cough." Qi Chengyi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, trying to attract Fu Yunqing's attention.

Fu Yunqing and Jiang Xingwei were about to step out of Zhenfusi, but turned back at the same time.

Jiang Xingwei remained silent.

Fuyunqing was also stunned. What was Qi Chengyi doing in Zhenfusi? He doesn’t judge the case or supervise the trial, so why should he come to sit in on it?

I didn't know he had this hobby.

Qi Chengyi smiled slightly, but his eyes were very light: "I also want to go to Zuixiangju to eat roasted duck."

"Oh, that's it." Fu Yunqing made way for Qi Chengyi, "Then please go down."

Jiang Xingwei took advantage of the situation and bowed lazily: "Congratulations to His Highness the Eighth Prince."

Qi Chengyi was silent for a moment: "What? Am I not worthy of eating roast duck with you?"

"..." Fu Yunqing was frightened and said quickly, "How could it be! I thought that His Highness already had an appointment at Zuixiangju, so she didn't dare to invite her, lest she bring trouble on herself. Since His Highness intends to eat roast duck, the three of us Let’s get together!”

Jiang Xingwei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression remained as usual as he said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Highness, please."

When Qi Chengyi stepped out of Zhenfusi, he stopped for a moment in front of Jiang Xingwei. His eyes looked like short blades colliding, flint and lightning, sharp edges exposed.

Jiang Xingwei avoided the gaze with ease, stepped forward without leaving a trace, and walked between Qi Chengyi and Fu Yunqing, seeming to be separated intentionally or unintentionally.

Qi Chengyi frowned slightly, took out a few silver coins, bought a bunch of candied haws, and handed it to Fu Yunqing: "Yunqing, here, I know you like to eat them."

Address each other in a friendly manner and know the other person's preferences.

These two points alone are more like declaring something to men.

Jiang Xingwei, with four ounces of heavy weight, took over the host: "Miss Fu didn't eat dinner yesterday, and she didn't eat breakfast this morning. I first saw that the girl likes to eat peaches. Eating hawthorn on an empty stomach is afraid of hurting the spleen and stomach. Why not eat some peach blossom cake first? Wait until you are drunk. Xiangju, eat some hot mycelium chicken soup to warm your stomach."

He handed Fu Yunqing a box of soft peach blossom cakes that he had bought.

Jiang Xingwei was very attentive and helped Yunqing take a bite of the peach blossom cake: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Actually, Miss Fu and I hit it off right away. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xingwei." Jiang Xingwei's words were like pearls falling on a jade plate, slowly and loudly.

Fu Yunqing, who bit into half a piece of peach blossom cake, was slightly shocked.

I heard that Jiang Xing had a dangerous approach, was aloof, and did not like to socialize, just like the cedar on the top of a high mountain.

So, it would be too familiar for her to call her Xing Danger directly, right?

Fu Yunqing was stunned and thought carefully about whether there was anything in him that Jiang Xingwei could exploit, but there was not. They want power but not power, they want money but not money, they want sex but not sex.

So Jiang Xingwei just wants to make friends?

"Brother Xingwei," she called.

When he heard the word "brother", Jiang Xingwei had the same expression as when Qi Chengyi heard "brother Chengyi".

Qi Chengyi clicked his tongue. It seemed that Jiang Xingwei and himself were no different from Yun Qing. They were only friends and brothers.

Qi Chengyi, who never eats sweets, happily took a bite of the candied haws.

Zuixiangju.

Jiang Xingwei acted as the host and pushed the menu to Fu Yunqing: "Miss Fu, please——"

Fu Yunqing pushed the menu to Qi Chengyi again: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, should go first."

Qi Chengyi said: "I remember that Qingqing likes to eat shredded potatoes, fish with sweet vinegar, and tofu in sauce... Have a portion of everything on the menu, except braised pork."

"Why does Your Highness know my taste so well?" Fu Yunqing was curious.

"Every time I came to Zuixiangju with you, you always preferred these dishes, but you avoided the braised pork."

Fu Yunqing was thoughtful as he held the shredded potatoes between his arms, "Every time?" It seemed like the two of them met for dinner often.

For a meal, you really feel like a snake.

Jiang Xingwei and Qi Chengyi didn't talk much, but they often talked to Fu Yunqing.

After meal.

Two carriages stopped in front of Zuixiangju.

Jiang Xingwei rolled up the Xiangzhu curtain and said with a clear smile, "Girl, I will take you back home."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang..." Fu Yunqing was about to step onto the horse stool.

"Yun Qing, I have something to discuss with you." Qi Chengyi stood in front of another carriage, his eyes slightly solemn.

It seems that the situation is not simple.

After Fu Yunqing thought briefly, he bowed to Jiang Xingwei and said, "Brother Xingwei, see you another day."

The smile on Jiang Xingwei's face faded a little, and he bowed in return: "Okay. If I have time another day, Xingwei will pay a visit to the General's Mansion."

Qi Chengyi bent down to take off the horse stool, and when he reached out to help Yun Qing, he glanced at the person opposite him.

Help Yunqing get into the carriage.

The carriage was covered with soft and warm blankets, and hot tea was being cooked. Qi Chengyi poured a cup for Fu Yunqing: "Coming to visit? Are Jiang Xingwei and Qingqing familiar with each other?"

"Ah?" Fu Yunqing skimmed off the foam on the water with the tea lid and took a sip of the fragrant tea. "I'm not very familiar with him. We've met him a few times, but he still looks like a gentleman. He's too sharp and his methods are too thunderous. Although He is not liked by the courtiers, but I like him very much."

"Like it?" Qi Chengyi rubbed the rim of the tea cup, "So, you like him like that?"

"Of course I like it." Fu Yunqing answered straightforwardly.

Qi Chengyi lowered his eyes, covering the clouds in his eyes.

"Being aboveboard, fair, honest, gentlemanly, and magnanimous are the best choices for making friends." Fu Yunqing said casually while eating peach blossom cake.

Well...he doesn't have the qualities to be aboveboard, fair, honest, and magnanimous, let alone a gentleman.

Qi Chengyi remained silent.

As if he noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere inside the car, when Fu Yunqing was about to speak, someone knocked on the wall of the car outside and reported: "Your Majesty, there is something strange about Li Quan."

Qi Chengyi and Fu Yunqing looked at each other and both jumped out of the carriage.



Dense forests on the outskirts of Beijing.

Li, who was all dressed in prison clothes and with his hair scruffily bound, hurriedly rolled off the horse. Not caring about his embarrassment, he hurriedly lowered his bamboo hat to cover his face and knelt down in front of the luxurious and restrained noble carriage.

He said: "Chen Yushi, you can't ignore me. I have worked hard for you all these years and I have made great contributions. I am about to be dismissed from office, and you have to give me a hand no matter what..."

A voice came from the carriage, sipping tea and sighing: "Brother Li, it's not that I don't care about you, it's that you don't do things properly."

Li Quan felt his heart tremble and asked hesitantly: "Chen Yushi means..."
