Chapter 428 The Princess from the Cold Palace Who Was Sent to the Throne (39)
"General Chi has nothing but military power, but I wonder if he has any way to deal with Prime Minister Wen?"
There was an obvious intention to provoke trouble in He Liming's words, and even Chi Yunjian could hear it.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his originally relaxed and complacent expression disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He folded his arms tightly across his chest, frowned slightly, and began to think about this problem seriously.
Once upon a time, in his opinion, the open and secret struggles in the court were far less exciting and direct than the life-and-death battles on the battlefield.
He has always scoffed at and disdained those circuitous, scheming and intrigues.
But now, anything related to Qingwu, no matter how big or small, has become Chi Yunjian's top priority and concern.
Various possible scenarios kept appearing in his mind. He imagined how he would deploy troops and respond skillfully if Wen Xingzhi made trouble in the court, and how he would ensure Qingwu's safety and well-being...
Inadvertently, Chi Yunjian caught a glimpse of He Liming's relaxed look. His eyes seemed to reveal a kind of confidence and calmness that "everything is under control", which made Chi Yunjian feel angry.
"What do you mean? What do you want to do?" His tone was unkind and full of sarcasm. "Don't think you can trick me with some tricks."
He Liming was not annoyed, but chuckled softly, with a bit of calmness and confidence in his laughter: "Let's talk. Although I hate you very much, although we were enemies before. But -"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze firm, "Now we have a common treasure to protect. Isn't that right?"
Chi Yunjian looked serious and remained silent for a long time, but did not refuse.
The mist outside the hall slowly dissipated like a veil, and the sunlight fell like broken gold.
When He Liming came back again, he saw Qingwu still sleeping well on the dragon bed, and his heart softened.
He Liming took off his Feiyu suit that was stained with morning dew. The python pattern embroidered with gold thread shone coldly under the candlelight.
He looked at Qingwu who was curled up on the bed, her black hair spread out like a waterfall on the moon-white quilt, and her earlobe still had the red mark from Chi Yunjian's bite last night. His heart suddenly felt sour.
"Awu." His voice was so soft as if he was afraid of startling the swallows flying under the eaves. The satin undershirt slid over her bare shoulders, and the outer robe with body temperature wrapped around her thin body.
Qingwu seemed to feel his movements and unconsciously rubbed against his arms, like a little animal seeking warmth.
He Liming tightened his arms slightly, holding her tightly in his arms, feeling her body temperature and breathing.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, some things still made people feel sad when they were actually implemented.
If it weren't necessary, how could he be willing to share such precious beauty with others?
But Awu, as long as it is what you want, I will achieve it for you.
Qingwu noticed something and curled her lips indifferently.
She was indeed tired.
——This is a round-robin battle.
......
He Liming and Chi Yunjian here were racking their brains thinking about how to work together to protect Qing Wu, and naturally they also had to plan something.
These two people made the defense of Longming Palace flawless from the inside out. Faced with such tight defense, Wen Xingzhi was at a loss as to where to start for a while.
He had never suffered such a great setback as he did now.
But Wen Xingzhi is not the kind of person who gives up easily.
Since he couldn't enter Longming Palace and couldn't take the initiative to look for Qingwu, he had to find a way to make Qingwu come to him on her own initiative.
Wen Xingzhi stroked the white jade on the table, but the touch was not as smooth as the skin.
Be patient, be patient.
In two days, Qingwu will attend court for the first time.
He will be able to see Qingwu.
By then, he will definitely give Qingwu a big gift.
Of course, a "big gift" will also be given to Chi Yunjian and He Liming.
Wen Xingzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
If he heard that Xingzhi wanted something, he would go and get it himself.
Early morning.
At three quarters past the hour of Mao, the bronze bell outside Longming Palace exploded, startling the crows in the sky.
In Longming Palace, He Liming was kneeling behind Qingwu. His fingertips trembled slightly as he carefully wrapped the golden ribbon around Qingwu's petite shoulders.
The twelve emblems embroidered on the ribbon flowed in the morning light; the mountain patterns and the sun and moon patterns rose and fell slightly with the movement, as if they were about to take off from the silk.
These twelve patterns represent the emperor's authority and glory, and each pattern is carefully embroidered and lifelike.
"Your Majesty's crown tassels should hang like this."
His voice was shrouded in caution, and the string of white jade beads cast tiny shadows in front of Qingwu's eyes, softening the sharpness in her eyes into a hazy mist.
There was deep love in He Liming's eyes.
——Finally, today has arrived.
His little princess was a phoenix in the sky, destined to soar above the nine heavens.
Bring new vitality to the Da Ning Dynasty and eliminate all the bad practices left by the previous emperor.
"Awu, you were born to stand above these clouds." He Liming's voice was low and firm.
Qingwu nodded slightly. Her movements were elegant and dignified, and the oriental pearls on the imperial crown swayed slightly, making crisp sounds.
Shedding her disguised weakness, her back was now as straight as a bamboo, and her eyes revealed the pride and confidence of a superior.
It is no longer that kind of fragile beauty, but an awe-inspiring majestic beauty.
The morning light penetrated the window lattice and sprinkled on her, giving her a layer of gold, making her whole body radiate a sacred glow, like a goddess walking out of a myth, breathtakingly beautiful.
People couldn't take their eyes off it anymore.
The delicate Qingwu is lovable, and the confident Qingwu is even more fascinating.
Any kind of elegance is the best elegance in the world.
The clanging sound of armor colliding could be heard outside the hall. The Black Armor Army, led by Chi Yunjian himself, was lined up like a Great Wall of Steel.
Under Chi Yunjian's pressure, the people around him lowered their heads involuntarily, and didn't even dare to look up.
The Yu Lin bowed their heads, the Huben carried the sedan chair, and the Wolf's Lair was sealed. Such pomp and momentum are absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.
The moment Qing Wu stepped out of the palace, Chi Yunjian's originally tense brows softened instantly when he saw the bright yellow figure.
His eyes were fixed on Qingwu, with fiery love and pride surging in his eyes, like a tamed lion, his heart and eyes filled with only the treasure before him.
He stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a low and pious voice: "I am late in protecting you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
When they stood up, Chi Yunjian and He Liming's eyes met. Both of them looked unhappy. After looking at each other, they snorted coldly at the same time and then quickly looked away.
They dislike each other.
But for the treasure in their hearts, they have to cooperate.
