When I went to court the next day, the atmosphere in the palace was visibly silent and depressing.
Yu Jinghong enthusiastically recommended himself: "This job is so difficult, why not just leave it to me. I am not afraid of dangers and am willing to serve the Holy One!"
The Holy Emperor's arm resting on the dragon chair moved slightly, and he looked at Qi Yan, who was hanging his head aside.
He ignored Yu Jinghong and said directly: "Qi Yan, what do you think of this errand?"
Yu Jinghong was startled, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face. He did not expect that the Holy Emperor would suddenly mention Qi Yan's name.
Obviously in the past, as long as someone took the initiative to ask for these "difficult" errands, they would fall on that person.
Qi Yan raised his eyelids and raised his eyes.
His etiquette was perfect and there was no fault in it. He was as tall as jade, clasped his hands together, bent down and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no special opinion on this errand."
It's just an errand to visit. Even if the person who wants to check is a little troublesome, it only takes a little effort.
Nothing special.
The Holy Lord's fingertips rose and fell.
There was an inexplicable smell on the expression on his face.
"Oh, really?"
The Holy Master narrowed his eyes: "Then, why don't you accept this job, come back from the trip, and give me a satisfactory answer sheet."
"Is it possible?"
Before Qi Yan could respond, Yu Jinghong was startled at first and his brows wrinkled subconsciously.
How could Qi Yan take this job? This was an opportunity he had thought about and calculated with great difficulty.
How could there be so many difficult tasks? Even if there were, they would not be so difficult that almost no one would want to do them.
It’s not all done behind closed doors.
When the Holy One asked Qi Yan like this, did he mean to let him go?
no!
The cooked duck is almost in your mouth, how can it fly?
Yu Jinghong was no longer calm and opened his mouth to make a suggestion.
Qi Yan happened to raise his eyes and caught a glimpse of Yu Jinghong's expression.
His eyes flashed slightly.
Oh? Is there something fishy?
So, before Yu Jinghong could interrupt, he raised his eyes and looked at His Majesty: "If this errand is entrusted to me to complete, I will do my best."
His words were not complete.
The Holy Master narrowed his eyes slightly.
We are all people who play word games all year round. How can we not understand this?
Yu Jinghong seized the opportunity and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Qi Yan has never been involved in such an errand before. I'm afraid he is inexperienced, so why not..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule.
Too impatient.
There must be a ghost.
Is there anyone who rushes for bad errands? Even for ministers who want to spread a good reputation, they still have a leader when doing errands.
Sure enough, the Holy Master's face also darkened slightly.
In the past, he felt that Yu Jinghong was very measured and knew how to take the initiative to take on jobs that others did not want to do. Although his official position was not high, he was flexible in how he dealt with people.
now……
His suspicious nature made him frown slightly.
After the Qi family calmed down, he had not officially arranged any errands for Qi Yan. Now that he happened to encounter a difficult job, he naturally thought of Qi Yan.
Yes, he was upset and wanted to arrest the Qi family for surgery.
But Yu Jinghong’s attitude...
Yu Jinghong suddenly froze.
From the moment he noticed His Majesty's gaze, he understood that he was too anxious and had exposed some flaws.
However, there is still hope.
He immediately paid his respects: "I feel that since Qi Yan does not have this experience, he is the most suitable candidate. The young man is adventurous and will definitely be able to do a good job!"
He bravely praised Qi Yan and put gold on Qi Yan's face.
Qi Yan's eyes sneered. Now, he was absolutely sure that there was something wrong with this job.
I'm afraid... someone put a lot of thought into it.
He smiled softly, instead of following Yu Jinghong's intention and deliberately evading it, he pursed his lips in pretense of embarrassment.
He even looked at Yu Jinghong specifically.
"I am not talented, but to be able to gain such trust, Your Majesty, I am willing to take the initiative to take on this job."
The Holy Emperor immediately curled his lips.
"In this case, Qi Yan, you will leave the capital today and come back as soon as possible."
He was very satisfied.
As for Yu Jinghong, he had a smile on his face and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
After going down to court, a trace of ridicule flashed across Qi Yan's eyes, as if he thought of something, he turned around and walked towards Yu Jinghong.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yu, for speaking up for me."
Yu Jinghong turned his head.
Qi Yan had an elegant and dignified smile on his face, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
But the corners of his mouth were slightly depressed, showing a bit of mockery.
This made Yu Jinghong unsure for a moment...whether Qi Yan was really saying thank you or...deliberately trying to disgust him.
"Nothing."
Yu Jinghong replied so coldly.
Qi Yan's expression did not change. He looked around and asked casually, "Huh? I haven't seen Mr. Yu recently. Where has he gone?"
Yu Jinghong paused in disbelief.
His nose was almost crooked with anger!
In front of him, the concubine, asking the concubine what he has been up to recently, isn't it like slapping him in the face?
The expression on Qi Yan's face seemed to be really worried about this matter.
Qi Yan is so worried!
His chest rose and fell violently, and Yu Jinghong swallowed coldly: "I don't know."
"If nothing happens, I'll leave."
If he was afraid that the Holy One would find out what he had done on his errands just now in the temple, he would definitely fight for it!
A good job, he finally borrowed the information gap, tried his best to make it a drudgery that no one wants to touch, and prepares himself to enjoy the fruits of success.
As a result, he failed to predict the emperor's intentions and let his enemy Qi Yan take advantage of him!
Opponent...
Yu Jinghong strode away.
Qi Yan slowly smiled. Now, is there any trace of sincere gratitude in his eyes?
The Qi family and the Yu family have settled their old and new grudges together this time.
Let's see who has the better move.
On the other side, inside Xingyue Pavilion.
Mrs. Zhao twisted her waist and walked back and forth, chatting with people whenever she saw them. The people were confused by her fancy language and really called her "boss" one after another.
Almost every citizen who entered Xingyu Pavilion today has been indoctrinated with this concept, which is completely outrageous.
Shopkeeper Liu saw everything in his eyes and remained silent.
Songyue also watched her nose and heart, letting Mrs. Zhao show off how she taught Ling Yutong and how she managed to prop up the shop in the first place.
The bold, generous and far-sighted image temporarily made Mrs. Zhao stand still.
When Meng Tai stepped in, he was stunned when he heard Mrs. Zhao's words.
"Isn't Xingyue Pavilion the property of the Qi family?"
A truth came out of his mouth, and Mrs. Zhao stopped trying to show off.
The whole person was frozen.
Meng Tai didn't care about her so much, he said quickly: "Is little friend Tingyue here? I'm here to get medicine for my daughter."
A voice can't be healed in one day. Their family is not short of money, so naturally they want the best care for their daughter throughout the process.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she thought it was a money tree?
The subtle stagnation just now was long gone. She raised her lips and led Meng Tai the way without caring about her past suspicions.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was watching everything: "..."
Good guy, flexible and flexible.
Songyue raised her eyes for a moment, then lowered her head. She just did the girl's bidding.
At this time, outside Xingyu Pavilion, the four brothers of the Chen family were squatting: "..."
"Is this Mrs. Zhao? What are you talking about? Can she be the boss of Xingyue Pavilion?"
