Capital 1

Just in case, Qin Yan and his team rested in place for a night and continued on their journey at daybreak. After so many attempts, they finally got out of the mountain safely. Looking at the official road in front of him, Qin Yan sighed, "It hasn't been long, but it feels like hundreds of years have passed."

Gu Qingqu teased him, "Do you know what it feels like to live for hundreds of years?"

Qin Yan smiled and said, "I didn't feel it deeply before."

After leaving the mountain, Qin Yan and his group parted ways with the villagers. The driver who had been there before was still waiting. When he saw Gu Qingqu and his group coming out, he hurried over to greet them, "Young Master..."

Gu Qingqu nodded at him, then got on the carriage, and the group hurried back to the capital.

When Qin Yan was bored in the carriage, he remembered the purpose of their coming to Tian'en Mountain. It seemed that Gu Qingqu was so frightened that he had forgotten everything, but he did not mention it. He was really tired of staying in Tian'en Mountain and did not want to stay there any longer.

It was slow to come here, but it was fast to go back. The three drivers drove day and night and arrived in the capital in two days. Looking at the bustling Kyoto, Qin Yan sighed, "This is where people stay."

Gu Qingqu looked at his relieved expression and echoed him, saying, "We will never leave Beijing again in the future."

Qin Yan said: "Even if you leave Beijing, you can't go to such a remote place."

"good"

After returning to the palace, Gu Qingqu went to handle government affairs. Qin Yan, worried about the demon generals, hurried back to Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace was empty. Just like Fu Ze's situation, it would naturally recover when the time came. Speaking of this, Qin Yan couldn't help but recall his experience in Tian'en Mountain. He scolded the bamboo spirit harshly and only then did he feel better.

After two days of traveling, Qin Yan was tired, so he released Fu Ze to heal his wounds on his own. Of course, the most important thing was to let him manage the demon generals, while he simply washed up and went to sleep.

I felt something was wrong while sleeping. Why did I feel so heavy? When he woke up and smelled a familiar scent, he knew who it was. Without even opening his eyes, he habitually touched his back and said, "Are you still afraid after returning to the palace?"

He was still sleepy and his voice was a little hoarse.

Gu Qingqu's voice came through his chest. He said, "As soon as I closed my eyes just now, I saw the dark coffin room, and the dormant demons and monsters rushed towards me with the fire."

His voice was trembling, and he didn't say he was scared, but Qin Yan had completely understood his feelings. He patted his back and comforted him, "It's okay, it's all over."

Qin Yan wanted to say that they were all fake, but he knew clearly that Gu Qingqu had seen all kinds of monsters and demons in this world, so it was no wonder that he was afraid. Just imagine if he was just a mortal and had experienced all these, there was no guarantee that he would do better than him.

"Thank you, Qin Yan"

Listening to Gu Qingqu's grateful words, Qin Yan replied: "I said I would protect you."

Qin Yan felt Gu Qingqu's lips curled up. It was a very strange feeling. The room was so dark that he could not see anything. They did not look at each other, but Qin Yan could feel Gu Qingqu's happiness from the touch of his chest. This cognition made Qin Yan feel happy.

"Go to sleep"

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

A soft voice called out from outside the door, which annoyed Qin Yan to death. Just as he was about to speak, he felt his chest lighten. He opened his eyes and saw that Gu Qingqu had sat up. Qin Yan asked, "Are you really going to get up?"

Gu Qingqu was obviously still asleep, his eyes were still sleepy. He yawned, looked at Qin Yan and nodded. Qin Yan asked him, "Is it okay not to go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingqu fell on his chest again. Qin Yan touched his long hair and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that just one sentence could make Gu Qingqu wake up late.

The eunuch at the door was obviously anxious, "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session."

Gu Qingqu responded and rubbed against Qin Yan, refusing to get up. Qin Yan's mouth was dry from being rubbed by him, so he quickly pulled him up and said, "Go quickly, or it will be too late."

Gu Qingqu showed a somewhat helpless expression on his face, but still got up from the bed. Qin Yan lay on the bed looking at him, and inexplicably felt that he was very well behaved, like a harmless little lion.

Qin Yan was frightened by his own thoughts. Damn, he never thought that one day he would think that lions were harmless.

After Gu Qingqu left, Qin Yan wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. He was not used to not having the weight on his chest.

Qin Yan got up and was having breakfast when Fu Ze came. Fu Ze came to report the work results of the six demon generals who were sent out.

It is a coincidence that according to the narration of the Cui brothers, the six confidants of the late emperor left in the Quanrong Kingdom are exactly the six ministers of the current cabinet, and they are also the six important officials of the court that Qin Yan and his men sent people to conquer.

According to the information Fuze received, five people made smooth progress and successfully penetrated into the enemy, and only one person failed to be conquered. That person was the cabinet minister Xue Linfeng. Xue Linfeng was a very chaste man. He was over 40 years old, not only was he not married, he didn't even have a lover and was even known as a monk.

Qin Yan had been silent, looking somewhat hesitant. Seeing this, Fu Ze said, "Young Master, you are not feeling sympathy for Gu Qingqu, are you? He is your old enemy. Have you forgotten how you got the scars on your body?"

Qin Yan lifted up his sleeves and looked at the scar on his arm. It had always been glaring before, but now it seemed that the scar had faded to the point of being almost invisible.

"Fuze"

Qin Yan spoke hesitantly, and Fu Ze's heart sank when he heard his tone. Sure enough, Qin Yan said immediately afterwards: "I don't think I hate him that much anymore."

Fuze had an expression that said, "Master, you must have been deceived by him. He pretended to be weak to gain your sympathy."

Qin Yan said: "I'm not pretending, he is really weak, he is just a mortal."

Fu Ze said: "He is just a mortal now, but his true form is the God of War in Heaven. If he sneezes, the world will tremble. Don't be fooled by him."

Qin Yan wanted to refute but Fu Ze shouted, "Young Master, wake up!"

Qin Yan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He didn't want to argue with Fu Ze, so he said: "Then you go and help conquer Xue Linfeng."

That's more like it. Fuze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes."

Fu Ze left. Qin Yan looked up at the grand sun in the sky, wondering if Gu Qingqu had finished his court session yet? Speaking of Gu Qingqu, he remembered that he had promised Gu Qingqu to knit a quilt for him. Since he had nothing to do now, he decided to knit the quilt for him.

The wool in the Chaos Stone Ring is both thick and thin. The demon world generally uses thin yarn for weaving. The quilts knitted for children are very small, so thin yarn is more delicate. However, Gu Qingqu is already so old, and if thin yarn is used for weaving, it will take an unknown amount of time, so Qin Yan chose thick yarn.

Qin Yan took out the thread and wrapped it up. Although he had never knitted before, he had seen many people knitting small quilts in the demon world, so it was not difficult. Qin Yan learned it after trying a few times, but he could only do the simplest plain weaving. He was really unable to make the peach blossom that Gu Qingqu wanted.

The colorful threads were placed in front of Qin Yan. He picked and chose and finally chose the red one. He remembered how Gu Qingqu looked in her wedding dress before. The red color suited him very well.

Once you're sure, take action. Qin Yan moved quickly and started weaving immediately. He sat in the front yard, the sunlight shining on his body gave him a beautiful golden hue, although it still looked a little strange with his red face, but the atmosphere was great.

"Young Master"

Someone was talking. Qin Yan looked up and recognized that it was the imperial physician from the palace. The corners of his originally smiling mouth immediately fell down, and he said unhappily: "How dare you come here? Look at what my face has become. If you don't know, you would think I am the reincarnation of Guan Gong."

Qin Yan became more and more angry as he spoke, and he stood up to hit him. The doctor quickly said, "That's a scar removal potion, and it can be washed away with special water. It was supposed to be washed the next day, but the young master left the capital in such a hurry that he didn't have time. I have been thinking about this matter in my heart, and when I came last night, the young master had already fallen asleep, so I came now."

Seeing that he explained so sincerely, Qin Yan's anger also subsided a lot, "Wash now."

The doctor quickly gave him the antidote and said, "Put it in water and mix it well, and it will be washed off."

Qin Yan looked at him speechlessly, then drew some water and dripped the potion into the basin. The green potion looked very strange. Qin Yan looked at the imperial physician suspiciously, and the imperial physician quickly explained, "This is the antidote, there is absolutely no mistake."

Qin Yan made a gesture of pinching his neck. The doctor smiled awkwardly. Qin Yan said, "You go and stir it."

"oh"

The imperial physician reached into the basin and stirred it. The green potion spread evenly and the water in the basin turned a light green color. The imperial physician made a gesture of invitation to Qin Yan. Qin Yan glanced at him before immersing his entire face in the basin. A refreshing feeling spread across his face, as if a long-wrapped bandage was being untied.

After a long while, the doctor's voice sounded, "It's OK, it's OK."

Qin Yan raised his head from the basin. The imperial physician handed him the prepared towel. Qin Yan took it and wiped the water off his face. When Qin Yan raised his eyes, he saw the imperial physician staring at his face intently and said unhappily, "Have you recovered?"

The doctor finally came to his senses and nodded quickly, "It's recovered, it's recovered, it's so beautiful, like a work of art."

"You don't need to say the last two sentences."

"Yes, yes, I can't help myself."

Qin Yan said unhappily: "Get lost"

"Yes, yes, yes." The doctor nodded and bowed, then walked out with his hands and feet together. Qin Yan looked at his useless appearance and had a completely unhappy face. "Wait a minute."

Qin Yan asked: "No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to use this medicine on me."

The doctor quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

If His Majesty had not personally ordered it, he would not have used it this time. This cannot be considered medicine at all. He was just playing around with it.

After the imperial physician left, Qin Yan looked in the mirror to make sure he had recovered. Qin Yan patted his cheeks. He still looked better this way.

Qin Yan walked into the yard and picked up the knitting needles to continue knitting the quilt. The sun was warm and he began to wonder what Gu Qingqu was doing now. During this time he has been away, there must be a lot of government affairs to deal with, so maybe I can only see him at night.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan felt inexplicably lost. How about going to see Gu Qingqu? What if he gets scared during the day too?

This reason is too far-fetched. I'd better wait until the quilt is finished before giving it to him.

Just as Qin Yan was working harder on weaving the quilt, a voice interrupted him again, "Young Master"

Qin Yan looked up and saw that it was the evil general Zhuoning who was trying to seduce the empress dowager. His expression looked a little strange and he knew at a glance that something had happened.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuoning stepped forward and said with a bitter face: "The Queen Mother is pregnant."

"What?"
