Chapter 2029 [Shang Xie] Lie
Xia Fuyi didn't wait for Changsun Chi until dinner time.
She asked Fu Yan to go downstairs to eat, and then she went out and walked towards the imperial study.
As soon as she reached the door of the imperial study, she bumped into Qingze pushing the door open. She was stunned for a moment and immediately asked,
"How about it?"
Qingze of course knew what she was asking, and after a moment's pause, he smiled.
"Lian Tang and I went there with so many people, how could we not find it? Thanks to you for giving us the news, otherwise we don't know how long it would take for us to get the antidote."
Xia Fuyi immediately became happy. Although her face was still cold, her eyes brightened up several times.
But if she paid a little attention, she would have discovered that Qingze's smile was hiding his clenched teeth, and there was no real smile in his eyes.
But Xia Fuyi was too happy.
She immediately looked at Changsun Chi who was walking out.
The two looked at each other in the intersection of the increasingly dim skylight and candlelight. Xia Fuyi's eyes were bright, and for the first time, her peach blossom eyes showed such uncontrollable ecstasy.
There was also a smile in Changsun Chi's eyes.
But that smile was calm, the same smile he would show whenever he saw Xia Fuyi, full of deep tenderness and tolerance, but without a trace of joy about himself, as if finding the antidote to the poison that had troubled him for years didn't matter much to him.
Xia Fuyi paused for a moment.
She may not be able to observe other people's emotions very carefully, but Changsun Chi is different.
She was sensitive enough to sense something was wrong, but Changsun Chi quickly turned his gaze away, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms and walked out. From this position, she could no longer see his eyes clearly, and there was indeed a relaxed smile in the man's voice.
"Let's go. Although a big trouble has come, it has also solved a big trouble. Let's go eat."
The man's laughter did not seem fake, so Xia Fuyi had to suppress her doubts in her heart. She put on a stern face but was sincerely happy to go back to the Zichen Palace with him.
They passed by many lights and flowers along the way, and the light gently enveloped them, and Changsun Chi's gaze also enveloped Xia Fuyi in the same way.
Miss Xia must have been really happy, and even her steps were noticeably lighter.
That night, Miss Xia was so happy that she jumped onto the roof again and practiced a move to cut the spring breeze. The silent night was swept up by countless wind sounds by the tip of her sword.
Chang Sun Chi was still sitting lazily on the side, watching the show.
The two seemed to have spent a very happy and joyful night. The next day, Changsun Chi faced his biggest trouble so far in the court.

The news that Jinliang and the three Western Yu countries were pressing towards the Chiwei border had spread throughout the court and the country overnight.
The ministers of today were used to a peaceful life, and when they first heard about this, they thought it was absurd. Until the messenger brought a letter of war to the emperor during the court session, the emperor glanced at it and threw it down lightly, saying indifferently,
"Everyone, please take a look."
The Left Prime Minister was the first to pick up the letter. He pretended to change his curious face into a surprised one, and finally into an angry one.
Then he passed the letter to the next minister and shouted excitedly,
"Absurd! Absurd! Relying solely on a single, unfounded witness, they dare to accuse Your Majesty of murdering their envoy, and even make a fuss about it as a pretext to send troops to our country! This is sheer madness! Has the King of Jinliang gone mad?"
