Chapter 120: A Day or Two in Prison
“…”
The fact that Qin Rong wanted to command the emperor in person had spread throughout the palace late that night.
Not only in the palace, but even the ministers living outside the palace received news. Some loyal ministers who did not agree with this move entered the palace late at night, knelt outside the imperial study room and begged the new emperor to take back his order.
The candlelight in the imperial study room was bright, and a black cat with a bright black body penetrated into the imperial study room along the windowsill. It meowed twice. When the man on the dragon throne looked for his reputation, he jumped and threw himself into his arms.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Rong sat down lazyly with his forehead. He lowered his eyes and swept towards the fat hair on his knees. He stretched out his free hand to scratch the black cat's chin. His voice was soft and gentle: "Have you master been back yet?"
This black cat is Abei raised by Yingying. Perhaps Yingying always says Abei looks like him, so this cat also likes to stick to him the most on weekdays.
"Youyang."
Time passed little by little, and the minister kneeling outside was still wailing and disturbing people. Qin Rong glanced at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it now?"
Youyang said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I just passed the ugly moment."
Qin Rong's eyebrows hopped, and his faint eyes instantly turned dark: "The queen hasn't come back yet?"
"Not yet..." You Yang wanted to protect Yingying, and hesitated to explain a few words: "After all, it's a happy event. The Empress Dowager may be a little playful, but if the Empress Dowager watches, there will be no big trouble."
There is indeed no big mess, but it is said that the Zhou family invited many friends to watch the ceremony, and young talents are indispensable on the court.
Qin Rong's lips were smiling coldly, and even if she didn't attend in person, she could imagine the lively scene. Unable to find out the intention of her master, You Yang could only ask in a tentative question: "Otherwise, my subordinates will send someone to urge me?"
"Need not."
He hugged the black cat on his knee and hugged it into his arms. Qin Rong rubbed his chin with his fluffy head and said, "I want to see when will she know to go home."
With a light tone, Qin Rong looked down at the black cat in her arms, and as she murmured like a lover in the fallen voice, "When your master comes back later, let's ask her if she's having fun?"
The black cat made a comfortable sound of purr and purr. You Yang was sweating coldly when he watched, praying in his heart that his little queen would come back soon.
At this time, outside the palace, the guests of the Zhou Mansion, who had been lively for a whole day, had just begun to disperse.
Two big red lanterns were hung high at both ends of the Zhou Mansion, and red firecrackers were scattered on the ground. Yingying helped Gu Manru come out of the Zhou Mansion. The Zhou couple who were accompanying him followed him and greeted Gu Manru, "Be careful on the road, come and walk more often if you have nothing to do."
Previously, Zhou's mother was worried about Gu Manru's identity. In just one day, the two became friends from a familiarity and agreed to take their daughter-in-law out for two days to purchase.
"Okay." Gu Manru smiled and nodded. She didn't drink wine on weekdays, but she was so happy today that she drank a lot of wine.
His body shook, and with the help of several people, Gu Manru stabilized his body. Zhou's mother said worriedly: "If you don't dislike it, why don't you stay here tonight."
Gu Manru waved his hand and laughed: "Next time."
She is now free and free as the empress dowager. Poor Yingying is the person next to the new emperor, so she will never be able to go back.
Fortunately, the carriage came in time, Yingying and Zhou's mother helped Gu Manru to sit in. Several young men came out of the Zhou mansion in groups. When they saw Yingying, there were more cheers in the crowd, and one young man was quickly pushed out.
"Miss Gu."
Yingying turned around and saw a young man in green walking to her. He coughed dryly and asked, "Next Zhou Chengyue, he is Zishan's cousin. I wonder if the girl has been to Huayuan?"
Huayuan is a famous flower garden in the imperial city. It has various strange plants and famous flowers planted in it. The scenery is very beautiful. It is a gathering place for high-ranking officials and nobles.
Yingying knew what this young master wanted to do when she heard this opening remark. She used this trick too many times when she hooked up with the young master beauty in her previous life. If someone had gone back to "go", she would say that several new famous flowers in Huayuan wanted to invite someone to watch them together. If someone had never been back, she would invite someone to go with her.
She has always avoided seducing others, but she didn't expect that she would be seduced by others even after a lifetime.
Yingying was also surprised and noticed the coachman's gaze. She knew that the man was sent by Qin Rong to "surveillance" her. She was afraid that the young master of the Zhou family would make some frivolous words annoy Qin Rong, so she rescued the scene in time to interrupt him: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go back."
I think Zhou Chengyue didn’t know that she had already gotten married, so she broke her mind with one sentence: “If I don’t go back, my husband will be anxious.”
Unable to bear to see Zhou Chengyue's expression, Yingying quickly got on the carriage.
Gu Manru had already fallen asleep in the carriage. This person couldn't accept it. She was extremely tired after all day. She was drowsy and didn't know what was happening outside.
Wake up by the sound of Yingying coming in, she opened her eyes and asked, "Here?"
"Not yet, let's go back soon." Yingying was also a little sleepy. She hugged Gu Manru's arm and sat down against the person, dozing in the swaying carriage.
After entering the palace, the carriage went to Gu Manru first. Yingying could have walked back to the East Palace, but she was lazy and didn't want to move, so she asked the coachman to park directly at the entrance of the East Palace.
"Grandma, it's here." Yingying was awakened by the coachman and stammered and pushed open the car door.
After jumping out of the carriage and walking forward two steps, she realized that this place was not the Eastern Palace. She turned around and looked at the coachman in confusion. The coachman said respectfully: "Your Majesty just ordered you to come back and see him directly."
It was so late, Yingying thought Qin Rong had already gone to bed, but she didn't expect that he would still stay in the imperial study room.
At this time, several ministers were still kneeling at the main entrance of the Imperial Study Room. Yingying entered through the side door and did not know the situation of the front door until she came in. She heard the wailing outside the house.
"The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please take back your majesty and make your life!"
"There are heavy casualties in the northwest battlefield. Your Majesty shouldn't have been in danger for temporary achievements!"
I don’t know how long the people outside the door have been shouting, but Yingying’s voices are hoarse when she hears the old men, and she is so pitiful.
She walked around the barrier and walked towards the main hall of the Imperial Study Room. At first, she didn't feel anything. When she saw the man sitting behind the Imperial Case, her legs bent and suddenly became so scared.
"Come back?" Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qin Rong held her chin and looked sideways.
The candlelight in the room was no longer so bright, and the falling dragon robe on Qin Rong's body also lost its luster. At this moment, he fell into the shadows, with fair skin and handsome eyes, dark eyes, with such a gloomy charm.
...This is what Qin Rong used to in his previous life.
Yingying felt that her legs were weak. Looking at Qin Rong who looked like this, she didn't dare to step forward for a moment, so she could only stand there stupidly.
Qin Rong pushed the black cat away from the arms. He glanced at Yingying and laughed, patted his thigh and said, "Come here, I haven't seen you all day long, let me hug you well."
When Yingying left in the morning, Qin Rong had not yet gone to court, so she had never seen each other for a whole day.
He walked towards Qinrong with a tough bullet. When he walked to him, Yingying hesitated and looked at Qinrong's face before she dared to sit on someone's lap.
He clearly said that he had disappeared all day long and wanted to hug her, but when Yingying was really waiting for her to sit in his arms, Qin Rong sat down slanted but did not stretch out his arms to hug the person. He used his free hand to embrace Yingying's back waist. His warm fingertips slowly wandered with pressure, and asked Yingying, "Are you happy playing outside?"
Of course I would be happy, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so late.
Yingying twisted uneasyly and noticed that Qin Rong was in a bad mood. She took the initiative to lean into the arms and hug Qin Rong's neck, nestled in the nest and said softly: "It's okay, it's mainly because my aunt is happy."
I have also learned to be smart and know how to push others to make a fuss. It is beneficial to myself to say both meanings in one sentence.
Qin Rong looked down at her, and because the distance was too close, the thin lips gently brushed across Yingying's cheeks. The soft touch made the man's eyes darker.
The sweet fragrance on Yingying's body was filled with breathing. Qin Rong raised her hand and pinched Yingying's chin, leaning closer to her and asked: "Have you drunk?"
Yingying's eyes widened a little. After all, it was a wedding event. It was really unreasonable for her not to drink, but she only took a few sips lightly, remembering Qin Rong's advice, she didn't even have a drink.
"No, I didn't drink it." Yingying swallowed and lied. She was not drunk or smelled of alcohol. She could tell if she didn't believe it.
Qin Rong could not see it naturally. He stared at Yingying's expression for a moment. He curled his lips and rubbed Yingying's lips gently, "I will know if I drink it or not."
She covered her face, and under the shadows, Yingying only let out a short silence, and soon all her breathing was blocked by domineeringly.
Qin Rong seemed to be really looking for the answer, exploring every part of her sucking her mouth and making her mouth numb. When she let go, his lips seemed to be savoring something. Then he half-squinted his eyes and squirted with the person's neck, and in a cold tone, he said two words: "Lie."
"Why did you taste it? Yingying lied to me."
The dragon robe fell to the ground and was tangled with the girl's dress. Yingying panickedly called "Prince Brother" and was then pressed on the imperial case. Qin Rong once said that the lying child would be punished, so Yingying's new and old accounts were settled together this time, and she could not rest until dawn.
Not only was the ministers outside shouting that their voices were hoarse, but Yingying in the room also drank a few cups of tea after the end.
Maybe it was because of empathy, so Yingying was tired and did not forget to care about others, so she asked softly: "What's wrong with it outside?"
Qin Rong rubbed Yingying's hair, fearing that someone would catch a cold, she covered her dragon robe on the person in her arms, and fed her two salivas. He casually explained: "It's just a matter of the northwest, and they did not agree to Gu Yu's personal expedition."
Yingying was a little sober. She remembered that there was indeed such a period in her previous life. It was not easy for Qin Rong to travel northwest. Listening to the sound of shouting outside for a night, Yingying asked curiously: "Are they the same group of people?"
"Yes." Qin Rong smiled lowly.
It was exactly the same as in previous lives. It was indeed the same group of ministers who did not want him to go to the northwest, but these people were all loyal ministers.
Yingying felt soft-hearted and couldn't stand it. She knelt all night, so she begged Qin Rong to find a way to get everyone back.
Qin Rong naturally knew the right way. After holding Yingying to the barrier, he sorted out his clothes on his body and called Youyang to call everyone in. It took only half an hour to convince everyone. Finally, he said more: "I know the loyalty of my dear ministers, go back and have a good rest, so that the queen will blame me for not cherishing my ministers when I learn that they are sick."
The implication is that Qin Rong's looseness was persuaded by the queen, which invisibly gave Yingying another wave of favor.
Yingying was already asleep behind the barrier and was not aware of this.
...
The time for Qin Rong to go to the northwest was set two days later, and Yingying's accompanying attracted heated discussions from court officials, but this time there were not many people who opposed it. Because Qin Rong made the statement that Yingying had excellent martial arts skills and had saved Qin Rong three or four times, they all felt that the queen could better ensure the safety of His Majesty.
Now the ministers all know that Qin Rong can’t do martial arts, but they don’t know that after Qin Rong has the memory of the previous life, he not only knows swordsmanship but also can mobilize his inner world at will, and his martial arts are already above Yingying.
Even Yingying didn't notice this, so after stepping onto the carriage heading to the northwest, Yingying wore a narrow-sleeved white robe and was neatly swearing to Qin Rong: "With me here, I will protect the third brother carefully."
Qin Rong smiled lightly and held someone to sit beside him.
As the carriage drove, thousands of ministers bowed, Yingying whispered when she saw Dad Gu: "Don't worry, Dad, Yingying will definitely bring her brother back safely."
As long as Gu Lingxiao is alive and has a constant mission line, the system can sense Gu Lingxiao's existence.
Nanyin.
In some luxurious palace, the mirror emits cold light.
A man in a gorgeous robe was sitting in front of the mirror to apply medicine. Due to the precipitation of time, several fingerprints on his neck raised high had turned dark red, which looked very terrifying.
There was a knock on the door, and the servant lowered his head and sent a letter in.
The man used a veil to wipe the fingertips that were stained with ointment. After reading the letter, he bent his lips and laughed out loud: "I'm going to the northwest."
Unconsciously rubbing the deep fingerprints on his neck, he turned his head and asked the attendant beside him: "That is the battlefield, so it is normal for even the new emperor of the Northern Territory to die there."
I don’t know how many people were buried in the continuous wars in the northwest. The flesh and blood paved the road and the white bones were the most beautiful scenery there.
Isn’t Qinrong the most fond of seeing such a scenery?
There, it happened to be his tomb.
He picked a mask and covered his face. The man's figure shrank mostly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stood up and took off his outer robe. When he opened his mouth, he had already turned into a sweet female voice: "I must watch such a beautiful scene myself."
Yingying sneezes in her sleep, and only heard a crisp sound in her ears: [Ding——]
[Congratulations to the host, the trip to the northwest triggers a new task, and the task is being unlocked!]
Yingying woke up with excitement. Qin Rong noticed that she hugged the person tightly, lowered her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chapter completed!
