Chapter 533 Alien Wild Wolf vs. Noble Queen (5)

After Wei Yi left, Cheng Guiyi sat down in Qinzheng Hall and discussed the memorial with Ning Xi as usual.

She and Cheng Guiyi were the only ones in the entire Qinzheng Hall, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Ning Xi picked up the memorial and carefully corrected it. When he raised his head again, he asked Cheng Guiyi, "How much should be allocated for Annan earthquake relief?"

Cheng Guiyi stood up and walked towards her, "I have written a detailed list here. Your Highness can take a look first."

With that said, he walked to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi took the fold and stepped back a little without leaving any trace, so as not to get too close to him.

Cheng Guiyi was naturally aware of her alienation.

For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable, so when he explained the disaster and the relief process, his tone was a little more serious, and he made the twists and turns of the court more complicated.

It wasn't until he finally saw the pitiful look of the Queen that he could not stop talking.

Ning Xi looked at Wei Yi, who kept his eyes lowered and said nothing.

But the Queen's personal request is different.

He looked at the stretched out leg and held her ankle with his hands specially soaked in hot water.

"The Empress has not made it public about going to Penglai to find the elixir. She means that we can only let a group of elites escort you. This is too dangerous."

Ning Xi looked at Cheng Guiyi who looked tense and said, "Cheng Qing, but I have no reason to disobey the king's decree."

Wei Yi's expression remained unchanged and he just nodded in agreement.

"What's more, if you are not in Yongzhou, Yongzhou doesn't know what will happen. After all, the four princesses have always been eyeing Yongzhou."

As far as she knew, in just one month, Wei Yi was appreciated by Qin Wu and promoted to deputy general.

Ning Xi had no choice but to shout: "Uncle, I will trouble you about selecting elites."

The sooner you leave, the better. Ning Yuan cannot be aware of it, otherwise the things in the original work will continue to happen.

"It's getting late. Your Highness, please go back and rest early."

How could a powerful man like him want to be a queen's man, and how could he do such a thing that is degrading to a man's dignity!

…

"Yes." Xiao Dezi quickly took the order and went out.

Cheng Guiyi's face turned cold, "You have been away on this trip for at least a year and a half, how can you hide it from others?"

His expression was as silent as ever, and he even pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard his words.

"Your Highness, Penglai Mountain is long and the water is far away. You are delicate and expensive, so it is not suitable for you to travel long distances."

That morning, his hands had just been washed with cold water and she was frozen. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, "Cheng Qing, if I don't go to Penglai, how can you disobey the empress's will?"

"Penglai is too far away from the capital, and we don't know how many changes may happen along the way. The empress asked you to go and seek the elixir in person, so be very careful at this time."

Ning Xi looked at her slender white fingers, "Of course I believe he can protect me."

Cheng Guiyi informed Qin Wu of the general situation, but Qin Wu was also opposed to it.

It stands to reason that Qin Wu will definitely incorporate Wei Yi into the elite.

After Wei Yi went to Yulin Camp to report, he was unable to see the queen for a long time.

"Your Highness," Cheng Guiyi said in disbelief: "It is impossible for me to let a foreign slave take away the Queen of Yongzhou."

The butterfly's wings were already fluttering, and the empress's imperial edict was delivered more than half a year in advance.

Cheng Guiyi frowned, "What does this have to do with that slave?"

He stood up suddenly, his tone was a bit urgent as he was always gentle.

"Yeah." Wei Yi only responded.

Cheng Guiyi looked downcast and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Knocking on the bedroom door, Wei Yi half-crouched in front of the bed in silence.

At the same time that she received the imperial edict, Cheng Guiyi also received the news, and he immediately rushed into the palace to discuss important matters with the queen.

Before she had time to think about it, she heard Cheng Guiyi speak again.

Ning Xi raised her hand to stop, "I have made up my mind. Please make arrangements. I will leave for Penglai within five days. This matter is confidential and must not be leaked."

Cheng Guiyi was choked by her and was speechless.

Ning Xi sneered in front of Cheng Guiyi for the first time, "Cheng Qing, Wei Yi is just one of the elite."

"Your Highness, are you being willful?"

There have been too many changes, so it is better to leave Yongzhou early.

Ning Xi fiddled with the sachet on her waist casually, "If I don't listen to the empress, then this Yongzhou can still belong to me? Even though the empress doesn't kill me, she will punish me for being unfilial, but it will also hurt my heart."

Ning Xi knew that Cheng Guiyi was very capable, so she couldn't hide this matter from him. After all, she had to rely on Cheng Guiyi to stabilize everything here after leaving Yongzhou.

Qin Wu, a brave and powerful man, felt soft when Ning Xi called him "uncle".

When Cheng Guiyi left, he couldn't help but glance at the queen's regular clothes. She seemed to always refuse to dress properly and preferred wide-sleeved tulle skirts.

Before Wei Yi went to the queen's bedroom, he suddenly remembered the first time he put on her shoes.

She stood up and called him, "Wei Yi."

Ning Xi was half lying down, opening the bead curtain and looking at Wei Yi.

Before Ning Xi had time to think about how to attack Wei Yi, the empress's imperial decree reached Yongzhou.

Cheng Guiyi said nothing and remained silent.

Presumably it was because of his outstanding martial arts that he was admitted under the exception.

Didn’t the original work say that Cheng Guiyi had been encouraging the original owner to seek the elixir?

After hearing what he said, he wasn't that eager. He even felt like he didn't want the queen to take risks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wu and Cheng Guiyi frowned at the same time.

Ning Xi glanced at him and said, "I am your king. How can the things I decide be said to be willful?"

"By the way, there is also Wei Yi."

Cheng Guiyi said reluctantly: "Not to mention whether the elixir exists, there are many dangers along the way from the capital of Yongzhou to Penglai. Your decision is too hasty."

Ning Xi deliberately stretched out her other leg and kicked his hand, "Wei Yi, how are you at Yulin Camp?"

Ning Xi put the imperial edict on the table and looked at Cheng Guiyi, "Cheng Qing, do I have any other options?"

After Cheng Guiyi read the imperial edict, he kept frowning.

Not long after, Qin Wu brought Wei Yi into the palace.

But Cheng Guiyi became the one who dissuaded him.

Ning Xi raised her hand and signaled, "Come here, General Xuan Qin."

Forget it, what does this have to do with him.

"I heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts. Please stay with me when I go to Penglai this time."

He thought the Queen just saved him on a whim and would forget about him as time went by.

Cheng Guiyi looked at her and really couldn't understand that the queen, who had always been timid and idiotic, changed from her normal behavior and bravely accepted the task assigned by the empress, and even started to lay out the plan in an orderly manner.

"The envoy has been waiting. If I don't leave as soon as possible and the news is revealed, things will probably be even worse."

When Qin Wu and Wei Yi left, Cheng Guiyi could no longer sit still in his seat.

Until one day on vacation, the eunuch sent a message asking him to go to the queen's chamber to serve and dress in the morning.

Ning Xi gave up asking this boring gourd.

The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her expression was undoubtedly arrogant.

After Wei Yi heard this, he raised his head and looked at the queen.

"Those with ulterior motives, once you discover that the Queen has left Yongzhou, you may be intercepted and killed on the road!"

Ning Xi locked Cheng Guiyi's gaze and said, "Cheng Qing, I believe in your ability and that you can protect the people of Yongzhou."

"You are the prime minister of Yongzhou."
