Chapter 316: Just a few words
This was a subconscious question, but she didn’t expect Yu Wenjue to speak. Xiao Qianyi clenched the tea cup in her hand, tugged at the corners of her lips, and her face became even hotter.
He spoke in a very soft voice. After speaking, he stopped looking at her and only lowered his head to drink tea.
After a small interlude, Gongsun Xu and others continued the topic they had just interrupted.
Xiao Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief silently, not wanting the cup to slip if her hand holding the cup slipped.
Xiao Qianyi had quick eyes and quick hands and caught it, but a few drops still spilled out and soaked her clothes.
The people talking looked over again.
“The girl is very skilled.”
Gongsun Xu was sitting diagonally across from Xiao Qianyi. He happened to see the smooth movements of her hands and couldn’t help but smile and praise her.
Her martial arts skills are not bad. Whether she encounters an ambush or Yu Wenqi initiates a palace coup, they all see it.
Xiao Qianyi lowered her head and glanced at the hem of her clothes, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "It's almost a joke, otherwise, not a drop should have spilled out."
As soon as the words fell, several people started laughing, not mocking, but It's appreciation.
She has a straightforward and bold temperament. Even if her appearance is damaged, she is still calm and generous and will not be coy.
Gongsun Xu showed some appreciation in his eyes: "I have long heard that the girl's grace on the battlefield is not inferior to that of the prince, but I have been able to catch a glimpse of it in the past few days."
Xiao Qianyi smiled and shook her head. Shaking his head, he disagreed: "If we were on the battlefield, this kind of mistake shouldn't happen."
She glanced at the main seat, thought for a while and then said: "Let me deal with it."
Yu Wenjue then raised his eyes to look at the maid not far away, and nodded.
Xiao Qianyi followed the maid to the guest room in the mansion and heard several people talking about their plans for the new year.
She then remembered that they seemed to have been arguing about this matter just now.
It is not unexpected at all to attack Qi again. After all, based on the battle situation that day, it was only a matter of time before Qi was captured.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to pursue the victory, news came from Luo'an that the emperor was in poor health and might not be able to survive for long. After Yu Wenke and Yu Wenqi learned about it, they had no intention of fighting and just wanted to return to Luo'an to take the opportunity to divide their power. Fortunately, you can still take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, a complete cessation of the war and withdrawal of troops is just a helpless move forced by the situation. Now that Yu Wenqi has been executed, in the near future, Yu Wenke and others should not dare to make any more moves, but this does not mean that Luo Safe yet stable.
Yu Wenke proposed to attack Qi again at this stall, but who knew what his intention was.
How should they respond?
As soon as the door opened, the cold wind blew snow flakes straight into the house. Xiao Qianyi couldn't help shivering and shrank her neck. The wet area on her chest was cold.
Looking at the snowflakes outside, they were much bigger than when we first arrived, and they were flying in the air. After a while, even the roof eaves were covered with a thin layer of white, and the entire palace seemed to be covered with a piece of plain gauze.
"Ms. Xiao, please come this way."
After leaving the door, the maid took Xiao Qianyi to the west wing.
While looking at the scenery in the mansion, Xiao Qianyi thought about it. Listening to Master Gongsun, he suggested that His Highness stay in Luo'an and agreed to let Yu Wenke lead the troops to attack Qi, first to protect the Lord, and secondly to His Highness. The injury has just begun to recover, and it is indeed difficult to go back to the battlefield.
But brother means exactly the opposite. He thinks this is a good opportunity for His Highness to gain military power...
Xiao Qianyi was a little conflicted for a moment, thinking silently in her mind.
That day, the spies they sent out clearly saw Yu Wenke leading the soldiers out of the house and heading straight to the palace.
Even in Weiyang Palace, Yu Wenqi has led people to start a rebellion, but Yu Wenke has not been seen yet.
In order not to alert the enemy, she and her lord had no choice but to surrender and let Yu Wenqi tie them up in front of the emperor's soul.
Even so, they didn’t even wait for Yu Wenke.
It was later learned that Yu Wenke's bicycle passed by the palace gate and headed outside the city. Later it was said that he was going hunting in the suburbs.
If she hadn't experienced this, she really wouldn't have been able to see that such a fickle and simple-minded martial artist could be so cunning and deceived almost all of them.
It's a pity that they can't be blamed for their brother. I'm afraid it will be even harder to attack him again in the future.
The more Xiao Qianyi thought about it, the more pity she felt. This Yu Wenke was too cunning. If Yu Wenke dies, how can they have so many worries now...
"Hey——"
A sudden scream.
Xiao Qianyi raised her eyes and saw a maid in the corridor. The sole of her foot slipped and she was about to fall on her back.
Without time to think, Xiao Qianyi pointed her toes and jumped out of the corridor. She stretched out her long arm, grabbed the maid's arm tightly, and pulled her back hard.
Half of the maid's body weight was on her, so she took a step back to avoid falling together with the maid.
The series of movements made people slightly breathless.
Xiao Qianyi calmed down and helped the maid to stand firm: "The road is slippery in the snow, be careful next time."
"Thank you, Madam Xiao, for the rescue."
Made girl His face was full of gratitude, and he said words of thanks, but he didn't bother to salute her. His eyes were darting wildly, and he was anxious to find the box that flew out.
Xiao Qianyi was surprised. She looked over and saw the big wooden box buckled on the ground, with the scattered things inside scattered everywhere.
Before she could open her mouth, the maid was startled, her eyes widened for a moment, and she went to pick up something in a low voice.
Seeing this, the maid who led the way also ran over and bent down to help pick it up.
Xiao Qianyi frowned: "What is so important?"
The maid picked it up without forgetting to look around, for fear of being discovered: "I don't know, the master has told me that it must be done To be sent to His Highness’s bedroom.”
Bedroom?
Xiao Qianyi took a quick glance and saw an old and dirty sachet, a blood-stained sachet, and some letters...
These must be Yu Wenjue's personal belongings.
Let alone the letter and the sachet, this sachet does not look like a manly thing, and it seems to be bulging with stuff inside.
Xiao Qianyi took a few steps forward, bent down to pick it up and take a look, her eyes blurred, and she picked up the sachet first with one hand.
Xiao Qianyi turned her head and looked over. A maid with a low eyebrow held the sachet and bowed respectfully to her.
"Thank you, Madam Xiao, for your help. Leave the trivial matters here to the servants. His Highness is still waiting for Madam in the flower hall."
Xiao Qianyi looked at the person who came, but she had never seen him before. The key is He also knows martial arts.
She thought she was not bad at martial arts, but this maid was able to get the sachet before her eyes, which meant that her martial arts skills were not inferior to hers, but perhaps superior to hers.
She has been with His Highness for a long time, but she has never seen this maid before.
The maid is still polite, but she knows the rules.
Xiao Qianyi spared her courtesy and asked: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Did you just stay with His Highness recently?"
The maid did not raise her eyelashes and her attitude was very respectful. : "My name is Qingzhu, and I have been with His Highness for a long time. She was once assigned to do other things, but recently she was sent back to the palace to take care of the internal affairs."
Xiao Qianyi looked at her thoughtfully.
I think Qingzhu and Xu, the guard who always has a straight face, belong to the same place.
After thinking about it this way, I stopped asking.
The maid who led the way was waiting aside, and Xiao Qianyi followed her to the west wing.
Perhaps due to the erratic wind and snow, there were intermittent voices behind me, which were not clear.
Just a few words.
Xiao Qianyi buzzed and her ears were ringing.
