Just like Zhong Qingye's previous journey, there was a waterway behind the land road. Qi Mo seemed to be very familiar with Qianhe Island. A boat had been prepared by the pond. The group of people tied up the carriages and horses and boarded the boat.
】
After the boat sailed for half an hour, the outline of Qianhe Island appeared in front of everyone. Qi Yan stood not far from the bow of the boat, looking at the island from a distance, with an indescribably complicated expression on his face.
Zhong Qingye walked over with the support of Yan Zi, squinted his eyes at the island that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly said: "Are you scared?"
"Huh?" Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to face her. "What are you afraid of?"
Zhong Qingye smiled, but she was still not there. "Aren't you afraid that Qi Mu will be dead when we get ashore?"
"No!" Qi Yan quickly denied Zhong Qingye's words, turned his head and stared at the island, his voice seemed firm. "Brother will not die."
Zhong Qingye smiled and did not answer, but Yanzi beside him suddenly screamed, pointing to the corner of the island that was gradually becoming clearer in front of him and shouted: "Madam, hurry up, is there a person standing there?"
Alone? Is it Qi Mu?
Zhong Qingye and Qi Yan adjusted their gazes almost at the same time, and moved towards the place pointed by Yanzi. After a closer look, Zhong Qingye shook his head. Qi Yan was also a little disappointed, but he immediately became pleasantly surprised and rushed onto the deck excitedly.
Waving his hands, he said: "Eunuch Fu! Eunuch Fu!..."
Fu Yan, who was standing far away on the pier on the island, heard the sound and stretched out his hand to shake it, with a gentle smile on his face. Although Qi Yan was a princess and was nominally his master, he had been on the island for four years.
In this life, this old man who is over fifty years old has regarded Qi Yan as his relative, like a granddaughter.
As soon as the boat docked, Qi Yan couldn't wait to jump on it, took Fu Yan's hand, and said with great surprise: "Eunuch Fu, it turns out you still live here, why don't you come to the palace to find me? My eldest brother
What? Is he still here? How is he? Is he injured? Eunuch Fu, please take me to see him quickly!"
Qi Yanzhu's barrage of words made Fu Yan dizzy. He didn't know which one to answer first, but the smile on his face was kind. He reached out and touched Qi Yan's little head and said with a smile.
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. The princess has grown taller and lost some weight. Why don’t you take good care of yourself?”
"No..." Qi Yan's face turned red and she stretched out her hand to scratch her head in embarrassment. She didn't know what to say. She looked like a little granddaughter talking to her grandfather.
"Yan'er is lively and active by nature. No matter how much she eats, she won't be able to keep her from running and jumping like this. If I go back, I will ask the imperial kitchen to give her more nutrition, so that she will be white and plump." He Qi
Zhong Qingye, who walked ashore side by side with Mo, added a word with a smile, his attitude not revealing at all.
Fu Yan seemed to have just discovered this group of people at this time. He glanced at Qi Mo, who was walking at the front side by side with Zhong Qingye. He pursed his lips and said nothing, but focused his eyes on Zhong Qingye and remained calm.
He touched her round and protruding belly and nodded indifferently. "Princess Rui, congratulations."
His name is still Princess Zhong Qing Ye Rui, exactly the same as five years ago, just like he still insists that the world is still the same as it was five years ago.
Qi Mo's face was cold and arrogant. He walked to a stop two meters in front of him and looked at him without saying a word. That look was not what he wanted to see.
Zhong Qingye pulled Qi Mo's sleeves calmly and said with a slow smile: "You must have called me wrong Eunuch Fu. The name Princess Rui disappeared five years ago. The one standing in front of you now,
She should be Queen Tianze of Northern Qi."
Fu Yan's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down, "No matter what your status is in the eyes of others, in my eyes, you are still Princess Rui."
"Even if Eunuch Fu continues to be stubborn, the world has already changed hands. How can your stubbornness change anything? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I don't need to tell you this truth." Zhong Qingye
He had a smile on his face and a kind expression, but his words were pressed tightly and never gave in.
"Even if I can't change, I will stick to my principles. I will not serve two masters. What do people like me have to fear?" Fu Yan had a magnanimous expression and ignored Zhong Qingye's softness and hardness. Instead, he said
She gave a weird smile and said slowly, "We haven't seen each other for a few months, but the princess's speech is getting better and better. No wonder she can help Prince Rui reach where he is now."
Zhong Qingye laughed. "It's one thing to be articulate, but it's another thing to be able to help the emperor get to where he is today. Doesn't Eunuch Fu think that the emperor and I are only good at talking?"
Seeing that his sarcasm was pierced by Zhong Qingye's words, Fu Yan did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he chuckled, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, and his face suddenly became serious. "Prince Rui, Princess Rui, Prince Ping, Your Majesty
Been waiting for a long time."
When he said this, he obviously still treated Qi Mu as the emperor. Zhong Qingye shrugged. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided now, so what's the harm in letting him take advantage of his words? It's a waste of time to fight against the slaves.
Zhong Qingye's idea was also in line with Qi Mo's idea. He nodded coldly and said unceremoniously: "Lead the way."
Qi Yu was very respectful to Fu Yan when he went up. He nodded and said with a smile: "Eunuch Fu, please lead the way."
Fu Yan took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and gave Wu Ying and others a cold look, "They can't go in."
"Why?!" Huang Ying said unconvinced.
Fu Yan's expression was particularly cold, which was very different from the smiling expression before. "Qianhe Island is a forbidden area in the Northern Qi Dynasty and is not allowed to be trampled by slaves. You are not qualified to enter!"
"Haha" Hong Ying couldn't help but laugh. "But Eunuch Fu, aren't you also a slave?"
Fu Yan ignored him at all and turned to Qi Mo.
Qi Mo waved his hand to interrupt everyone's hostility. "You guys wait outside while I and the queen go in."
"emperor……"
The five eagles all spoke together. The situation on Qianhe Island was unknown. It was too dangerous for Qi Mo and Zhong Qingye to go in alone. Even Yanzi felt it was inappropriate and held Zhong Qingye's arm firmly.
"This is an order!" Qi Mo ignored the concerns of others, held Zhong Qingye's shoulders, and walked towards the island.
When Fu Yan saw this, he looked at a few people with a half-smile, and then added kindly: "By the way, it's not just you guys, but also those little flies flying around. It's best not to come in, so as not to get dirty.
This land!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away with his head raised. Wu Ying was so angry that his face suddenly changed and he couldn't say a word.
