He Lingjun lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea into the teacup opposite. The tea gradually filled the teacup along the wall. The heat instantly rose up. Through the heat, you could vaguely see the tall black figure at the door.

"General Yin arrived just in time, and the tea has just been heated."

Yin Qu put the bloody sword back into its scabbard and naturally smiled.

"Since the tea was heated for me personally, I have to enjoy it. I just don't know why the people from the Haisheng Kingdom came to mess with my Chihua?"

He Lingjun wore a silver mask and said with a smile

"Why did General Yin conclude that I am from Haisheng? Was it because of Wu Chi's words?"

Yin Qu frowned slightly, Daolian must have revealed Wu Chi, and now the other party actually regards Wu Chi as his handle. Since there are people from them in the palace, Wu Chi is in danger.

He Lingjun watched Yin Qu's changes with interest.

"Wuchi, the little girl from Xuanpu in Xiji, has now entered the palace and works as an errand in Xiyun Palace."

He Lingjun spoke slowly, his tone gentle but as if Wu Chi's life was wrapped around him and could be cut off at any time.

"You're just a commoner. Is this what gives you the confidence to stay here?"

Yin Qu sat in front of He Lingjun and spoke forcefully.

He Lingjun's face was gentle, but his smile was evil. He raised his hand to signal Yin Qu to drink tea.

Yin Qu curled up the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to hold the teacup close to his thin lips and took a sip. He Lingjun looked at Yin Qu and smiled.

"General Yin, Emperor Yan regards Tianyu as his natural enemy and relies heavily on the Haisheng Kingdom. Even if you capture me, do you think Emperor Yan will make an enemy of Haisheng just because of a few bandits?"

Yin Qu's eyes emitted a sharp light, like a sword

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Haisheng Kingdom is said to be as gentle as jade and polite in speech. Now he is nothing more than a philistine who only knows how to make trouble with robbers."

He Lingjun couldn't help but feel his eyes widen, his pupils dilated, and he immediately took them back. Since his identity was revealed so quickly, he shouldn't stay here for a long time.

"It's getting late, so I've been chatting with General Yin till now. I'll see you next time."

He Lingjun stood up and walked towards the outside of the tent. He gently opened the curtain and saw a sword coming towards him. Su Yi turned to look at Yin Qu's back in the tent with murderous eyes, waiting for an order.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was just a calm voice from the person inside the tent.

"Let him go."

Su Yi's face was full of disbelief when he met He Lingjun's smiling face. A white horse ran towards the moonlight in the distance. Su Yi could only watch He Lingjun disappear into the night on the white horse, but he did nothing.

for

Su Yi looked at Yin Qu who was walking slowly with great confusion, his brows almost knitted together.

"We can't touch him now."

Still unable to move him now, He Lingjun's words awakened Yin Qu. Emperor Yan's obsession with Tianyu was too deep, and his dependence on Hai Sheng was too heavy. Since before the Styx War, Hai Sheng had not been able to rely on him.

With Chihua Tianyu and Chihua Tianyu struggling to survive, Chihua Tianyu went to war for some unknown reason due to old grudges, and both sides were defeated.

Although Haisheng did not take advantage of the situation and occupied the territory, he not only gained two large pieces of land, but also gained control of important commercial exchanges between the two countries. Styx River

The war is closely related to Haisheng. Now that the two countries are getting stronger, they want to repeat their old tricks.

As long as Yin Qu is around, Haisheng can't even think of touching Chihua, Tianyu or Wuchi.

Wu Chi was woken up early in the morning and stood in the yard waiting to be assigned tasks. After waiting for a long time, he waited for his errand - a chore in the kitchen.

This was not what I wanted, not to be close to Concubine Yun being able to detect the hairpin herself.

After they dispersed, Wu Chi quickly followed Qian Lian and asked repeatedly

"How can I serve as an errand in the main palace and serve Concubine Yun?"

Qian Lian turned around and frowned, wondering

"Are you really not afraid?"

"Not afraid"

Wu Chi was determined, Qian Lian sighed and said helplessly

"We will wait until you are familiar with the affairs of the palace."

Seven days have passed since this familiarity.

Wu Chi was so angry that he put firewood into the stove fire. The firewood became more and more intense, as if the fire in Wu Chi's heart was about to burn all over his body.

Qian Lian used a long spoon to stir the soup in the pot, and uttered a few words with an expressionless face.

"If the fire is too high, the soup will be burned out."

Wu Chi stopped adding firewood and reluctantly used a pair of tongs to pull out some of the hot firewood inside, smashed the fire head against the ground to extinguish the fire, and then leaned against the wall next to it.

"I'll go to the warehouse to get some dried vegetables and cook them over low heat."

Qian Lian dropped these few words and left Wu Chi in the noisy kitchen.

A familiar voice passed through the people coming and going in the kitchen and reached Wu Chi's ears. It was the long-lost Luo Bingsu, and it was from the direction of the back door.

It was time to prepare dinner, and the kitchen was busy. Wu Chi looked around, aimed at the door, and rushed out. He ran all the way to the back door and carefully poked his head out. His eyes were full of black and blue, and there was a silver order hanging next to him.

The exquisite pattern on the card surrounds a large character "Yin". Wu Chi took a moment to react before standing up to salute Yin Qu.

"Wu Chi congratulates the general on his triumphant return."

Yin Qu smiled and took out Luo Bingsu from behind his back and looked at Wu Chi up and down.

"The emperor just happened to summon me today."

Wu Chi took the Luo Bingsu and saluted Yin Qu with a smile.

The gray stain on Wu Chi's right cheek caught Yin Qu's attention, and he pointed at it. From Qian Lian's perspective, it seemed that Yin Qu was touching Wu Chi's face.

Qian Lian's face finally showed an expression, full of alertness, and she pulled the fog late behind her. Her voice was high-pitched, and her voice was much louder than usual.

"The general is a married man! Wu Chi is just a little palace maid"

After a heavy blow, Yin Qu was stunned on the spot. He was usually fierce and was speechless by a palace maid. He was a married person, how could he get involved in Wu Chi.

Wu Chi looked at the suffocating atmosphere and immediately explained

"Aunt Qian, you misunderstood. General Yin and I are not like that."

Qian Lian calmed down his emotions, gave a very careless salute to Yin Qu, and then pulled Wu Chi in. As Wu Chi walked, he turned to look at Yin Qu, who was staying where he was, with something in his eyes that Wu Chi couldn't understand.

mood.

Qian Lian pulled Wu Chi to the back of the kitchen. The bright yellow candlelight shined through the kitchen, letting some light shine into the darkness in the woods. Wu Chi saw an unusual expression on Qian Lian's face. This usually expressionless Qian Lian

My aunt is scared right now.

Qian Lian breathed heavily but still suppressed her voice, fearing that someone would hear her.

"Can't you see the danger in this clearly?"

"Aunt Qian, you really misunderstood. General Yin and I are innocent."

"The way General Yin looks at you is not innocent."

Qian Lian became more and more agitated, and her originally pale face turned red with anger. Wu Chi was a little frightened by this usually stern person. Mu Ran thought of Qian Lian's rumors.

"Aunt Qian is so scared. Are the rumors true?"

Qian Lian's eyes widened, her hands couldn't help trembling, and an arrogant face suddenly appeared in her head, which was untouchable.

After Qian Lian entered the Xiyun Palace, she was admired by Concubine Yun for her exquisite cooking skills. She was very capable and did not leak any water. Concubine Yun regarded her as her right assistant and was reluctant to beat or scold her. However, Qian Lian was almost crippled by the beating that time and she was left lying there for several times.

It's been a month, but the root of the disease has gone away. At night, there will be a dull pain in the legs. This is Qian Lian Sleeping.

The reason for Mian Qian. That time was the discovery of Qian Lian’s affair with the fifth prince. Fortunately, Concubine Yun had a good relationship with the queen, so she hid it from the emperor and saved Qian Lian. Concubine Yun was furious and threatened to fight.

Qian Lian's leg was broken so that she could never see the fifth prince again. This was a topic often discussed by the palace maids when Qian Lian was away.

Tears shone in Qian Lian's eyes, her breathing gradually calmed down, and a drop of tear also flowed down her cheek. Wu Chi felt that Qian Lian's thin body was about to stand up at any moment. He immediately helped Qian Lian to the stone chair next to him and sat down, regretting that he had said the wrong thing.

Talked.

"The rumors are correct, and what you said is correct. I'm just afraid." Qianlian looked at Wuchi with sad eyes and continued, "I'm afraid that because of the disparity in status, I can only look up to him. I'm afraid that I have to face those terrible people on my own.

, I'm afraid that he can't be by my side at night when my leg hurts the most, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him even if I stay in this deep palace for the rest of my life."

Qian Lian's voice gradually trembled, and Wu Chi felt uncomfortable and cried too. If she had not met the fifth prince, Qian Lian would have been a high-spirited palace maid. Wu Chi should have known to stay away from these high-ranking people.

At one point, one was Liu Ruwei and the other was Qian Lian. Wu Chi felt uncomfortable and conflicted. The reason why he was out of reach was because he broke as soon as he touched it.

Wu Chi sat on a chair in the courtyard of the Huanyi Bureau, and waves of incense came from the house. After what happened a few days ago, Yin Qu was no longer seen.

"Miss Wu Chi" was a very familiar voice. Wu Chi raised his head and it turned out to be Song Lin.

"Why is General Song here?" Wu Chi asked in confusion.

"The general was called to accompany His Majesty and the Queen to have dinner with Princess Ming. A careless palace servant accidentally stained the general's cloak. No, Princess Ming asked me to bring it to the laundry department."

Wu Chi slowly lowered his head, feeling a little sad for some reason, but he still forced a smile.

"That's it"

Before she finished speaking, Ying Xue came out with a set of flower-embroidered brocade skirts that had been smoked. Her steps were a little hurried, she handed the brocade skirt to Wu Chi, then said she felt unwell and hurried away.
