Chapter 269 Wake up, the world changes again
Walking out of Qiao's house, Ji Qingwu saw the scene in the side room through the window.
Nanny Li was playing shuttlecock with Jiujiu.
I haven't seen the little girl for more than ten days, and I always feel that she seems to have grown taller.
Jiujiu accidentally saw Ji Qingwu and flew out of the house like a little swallow.
Ji Qingwu caught her leap and picked her up.
Jiujiu asked cheerfully, "Mother, before you left, you said you were going to find a big house for Jiujiu to live in. Have you found one yet?"
Ji Qingwu thought of the bold words he had spoken to the little girl before entering the palace.
She was silent for a while, then said, "The big house caught fire, so there's a little one there, so I have to put up with it first."
Jiujiu noticed the change in Ji Qingwu's mood and said with her dark eyes wide open: "As long as my mother and I are together, it doesn't matter where we live."
The day before the wedding.
There should be many things that need to be prepared, but Ji Qingwu does not think of herself as a woman who is about to get married.
She played with Jiujiu for a while, then returned to Wutong Garden to loosen the soil and water the only seedling in the yard.
By the end, Ji Qingwu's strength was finally exhausted.
After so many twists and turns yesterday and a sleepless night, she was already exhausted both physically and mentally.
But as long as she had a little strength left, she couldn't control her mind and scenes that made her feel unbearable would always emerge in her mind.
Only by doing something all the time can she forget for a short time.
Ji Qingwu returned to the house, took off her clothes, and lay on the bed. There was a glimmer of light in the corners of her eyes, and she slowly closed her heavy eyelids.
This sleep was not as restless as expected.
Instead, she slept deeply and soundly.
She had already forgotten that she had drunk a sip of the decoction that contained the blood vine...
The effect of this medicine is to make you sleepy for a day and a night.

A dilapidated house on the outskirts of Lin'an.
A masked man pushed open the secret compartment and walked into the dark room hidden in the woodshed.
There are more than twenty luminous pearls underground, illuminating the dark place as bright as day.
The masked man asked, "Fourth Prince?"
Yuwen Tianqing quietly walked around from behind the shelf to the back of the masked man, holding the dagger in his left hand across his neck.
The masked man said in shock: "Fourth Prince, my master sent me here."
He took out a seal from his arms, which was the token between Yuwen Tianqing and that man.
Yuwen Tianqing put away the knife, walked to the table and sat down.
He asked, "Why didn't your master come here instead of sending you? There are some things I can only talk to him about."
The masked man revealed his identity: "I am the housekeeper of the mansion. I will tell you everything about the master. Please trust me."
He then explained, "Because the emperor is in a bad condition and will soon pass away, the master has to take charge of the affairs in the palace and has no time to come out and meet you."
Upon hearing the news that Emperor Wu Su was about to die, Yuwen Tianqing's face showed uncontrollable ecstasy.
“It’s true!”
At first he thought the news was false, and until this man came, he did not believe it completely.
Although the main force of the assassination was concentrated on the Emperor of Beili, he did not have much hope that the assassination would be successful, so he took the risk and sneaked into the palace with a few of his men.
The shaman of Xijin had told Yuwen Tianqing that the emperor of Beili was destined to have no heirs, and killing his only son would be tantamount to strangling the destiny of Beili, which would lead to the same end result.
It was just a poisoning plan, but it was discovered by Ji Qingwu, and the subsequent assassination failed because this woman delayed time.
But I never expected...
The masked man said, "My master originally thought that kidnapping Concubine Wei would be enough, but the Fourth Prince was farsighted and saw through everything."
Yuwen Tianqing laughed out loud and said proudly: "A hero can't escape the temptation of beauty! This old saying is true."
She is the reason for failure and success!
Yuwen Tianqing turned the dagger in his hand, and the palm of his right hand still had the sword wound caused by Ji Qingwu.
"To be honest, I don't understand it either. I just find it strange."
"The Emperor of Beili has never been interested in women, and there are even rumors that he is impotent. But why is he so interested in Miss Ji Wu? Not only does she stay in his bedroom, but she also stays in the Qinzheng Palace for a long time, where the Emperor handles government affairs."
"But if he has her in his heart, why would he let her go outside the palace? Especially his distant behavior a few days ago, which is what I can't understand."
Yuwen Tianqing smiled wickedly, and his grey-blue eyes had completely turned iron grey.
"It is my habit to keep a hand in everything. If I can't see through something, I have to be more prepared. This is what happened to me."
The masked man nodded and said in admiration, "That was also the Fourth Prince's brilliant plan. He specially found a figure similar to Ji Qingwu's and dressed her in the clothes she wore when she danced. Two horses appeared in front of the emperor, one in front and one behind."
"At such a distance, even the emperor couldn't tell whether the person tied behind the horse behind Concubine Wei was her or not."
Yuwen Tianqing said regretfully: "I didn't see him put down his bow and arrow with my own eyes. It is a regret in my life."
"It's really ironic that the seemingly cold-blooded and omnipotent Emperor of Beili is actually a lovesick man."
The masked man said, "My master asked me to tell you that after the emperor passes away, the new emperor of Beili will be a four-year-old prince, and my master and General Wei Ting, the general of Zhenbei, will assist him together."
Yuwen Tianqing said in surprise: "Will Wei Ting be willing to be under a child of a few years old? He was in the same military camp with the Emperor of Beili before, and the two had a real sword-and-gun duel before Wei Ting was willing to be his vassal. I am really surprised that he is so arrogant."
The masked man said: "Wei Ting has made a solemn oath and will never disobey his will."
Yuwen Tianqing said: "Wei Ting is a very difficult man, and he is very scheming. His presence in Beili is a big threat to Xijin. We have to find a way to get rid of him."
"Tomorrow is Wei Ting's wedding day. Perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos to make a move."
Yuwen Tianqing became interested and asked, "Who is Wei Ting going to marry?"
The masked man said, "It's still Miss Ji Wu."

When Ji Qingwu woke up again, she felt a splitting headache. She raised her eyelashes and then closed them immediately.
The room was filled with bright candlelight, which blinded her eyes so much that she couldn't open them.
It was noisy outside, with the sound of bottles colliding, loud noises, and seemingly even singing and music, but it was all far away from where she was.
Ji Qingwu smelled a strong smell of perfumed powder at the tip of her nose. Her slender nose moved and she immediately sneezed.
She discovered that the fragrance came from her face.
Ji Qingwu's hand touched the thing under him, which felt particularly uncomfortable.
Her hands reached under the slippery quilt and grabbed a handful of things, which, if she was not mistaken, were peanuts, red dates and the like.
Ji Qingwu slowly opened his eyes a little and saw the surrounding environment.
She sat up with a startle.
He covered his dizzy head and slowly sat back on the bed.
She remembered that it was still dark before she took a nap...
