Chapter 309: National Destiny Bonus, Things Are Clear
Ji Qingwu thought to himself, it’s over.
I overused my brain and now it's failing.
Her vision was still normal, but there was a white fog in her brain. The feeling was very strange and her thoughts suddenly froze.
Suddenly, a golden frame popped up.
Almost at the same time, a cold mechanical voice sounded in my head.
[Congratulations to the host, the national fortune bonus task has been completed and will be refreshed at your location and released immediately]
Ji Qingwu almost thought he had some strange disease.
She tried to calm herself down and resist the urge to curse, and said, "Peanut...isn't this too sudden?"
The system doesn't feel it's sudden, the voice seems to be accelerated.
[Host, please check the reward after completing the last intimate mission - F-level national fortune bonus]
After saying this, a white light flashed, the system disappeared in his mind, and Ji Qingwu returned to normal.
She didn't have time to express her dissatisfaction with the system's jumpy style. Now she wanted to know what the fate of an F-level country was like?
Moreover, the timing and place of the release of this national destiny...isn't it a bit wrong?
Ji Qingwu stood at the corner of the street, looking suspiciously at the passers-by around him.
Could it be that there are spies from other countries around her? Could it be that... the fourth prince of Xijin is here!
Just as Ji Qingwu was guessing all sorts of things, a carriage behind him suddenly rushed forward as if it had gone mad.
Ji Qingwu wanted to hide aside, but he seemed to be fixed in place, with his feet stuck to the ground and unable to move.
Watching helplessly...
Watching the wheels of the carriage brush against the edge of her shoes.
The purple-gold curtains of the carriage were blown up, and the people sitting inside were knocked down by the runaway carriage and raised their hands to hold on to the wall of the carriage.
The black horse suddenly reared up its front hooves, and the driver had no way of controlling it, causing the people in the carriage to stagger from side to side.
At this moment, something flew out from inside.
It flew right in front of Ji Qingwu, almost hitting her in the face, and she subconsciously reached out to grab it.
The hard object hurts the soft palm.
The carriage continued to gallop away and soon disappeared at the end of the alley.
Ji Qingwu put the item in his hand back into his sleeve pocket without leaving any trace and quickly returned to the Wei family.
She entered the gate of Xinyuan Hall.
Xuemei came forward and said, "Madam, you are back."
Ji Qingwu nodded: "Why are you the only one here? Where is Lanzhi?"
Xuemei said, "Lanzhi is accompanying the young lady in the side room."
Ji Qingwu walked to the door and turned back to say, "You don't have to follow me. I will call you if there is anything."
Xuemei nodded and said yes, then opened the door for her.
Ji Qingwu walked over the threshold with her head held high in a natural manner. Her eyes fell on the sleeve pocket on her right sleeve. The things inside were related to the fate of the Beili nation.
Along the way, she resisted the urge to take it out and take a closer look.
Just as Xuemei was about to close the door, Ji Qingwu's fingers immediately touched her sleeve pocket.
“You’re back!”
Ji Qingwu clenched her five fingers and let them fall at her sides. She looked up at the person who came.
Wei Tongyou received the news from the gatehouse that his wife had returned home safely, so he hurried over.
She walked around Ji Qingwu, checking his condition from head to toe.
"Are you okay?" Wei Tongyou asked.
Ji Qingwu could tell that she meant well, so he replied in a neither friendly nor cold manner, "I'm fine."
Wei Tongyou was stunned when he saw that although she was suppressing herself, her eyes still showed an uncontrollable vitality.
Wei Ting went on a military expedition and left his newlywed wife at home. If she were bullied, my eldest brother would surely be worried.
Wei Tongyou was purely out of love for Ji Qingwu and didn't want anything to really happen to Ji Qingwu, otherwise it would be difficult to explain later.
However, Ji Qingwu didn't look like he was being taken away for questioning at all. Instead, he looked more like he had received some kind of reward, and his whole body was filled with joy.
Ji Qingwu walked to the tea table, sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it.
That afternoon, she didn't even have a sip of water to drink at the Song family.
It’s not that the Song family was not hospitable, but even if they poured her water, she wouldn’t dare to drink it.
Wei Tongyou saw Ji Qingwu pick up the purple clay teapot and pour herself a full cup of strong tea. She was not like ordinary girls from aristocratic families who followed the rule of pouring tea only 70% full.
Moreover, he didn’t care that the tea was cold; he felt casual and comfortable.
Ji Qingwu tilted her head back and took small sips of water, and saw Wei Tongyou staring at her throat as she swallowed.
"Are you thirsty too?" he asked.
Wei Tongyou was not thirsty at first, but when he saw her wet and shiny lips, he licked them as well.
Ji Qingwu shook the teapot in her hand and found that the teapot was empty. She said, "I have no water. If you are thirsty, go back to your room and drink some water."
What thirsty or not? Wei Tongyou almost forgot why he came here.
She asked, "Did anyone from the Song family do anything to you? Have you found out about Mrs. Song's miscarriage?"
Ji Qingwu put down the teacup and asked instead of answering, "Why do you care so much about me?"
Wei Tongyou raised his chin and said, "I'm not concerned about you. I'm just curious about this matter. How did you prove your innocence?"
Ji Qingwu exclaimed again, and asked with a smile: "How do you know that I am innocent?"
Wei Tongyou said: "I knew at first glance that it was the Song family who deliberately caused trouble. Maybe it was Su Fengyue who instructed it."
Ji Qingwu didn't think about it in this way. She turned her eyes and said deliberately: "After all, Prime Minister Su is the prime minister of a country, with outstanding virtues. I have no grudge against him, so Prime Minister Su will not do this."
Wei Tongyou said: "You don't know, on the night when the person in the palace was injured and unconscious, Su Fengyue showed up with the seal of the prime minister. If my eldest brother hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Su Fengyue would not only be assisting the government, but directly acting as regent."
She was very concerned about political and military affairs, and continued, "Xi Jin invaded, and the court should have provided sufficient food and wages, but he dragged his feet for a long time on the grounds that the treasury was empty. The soldiers on the border have to fight, how can they survive without enough food and warm clothes?"
Wei Tongyou's face was filled with indignation.
"Then Old Man Su did it on purpose. He abused his power for personal gain. He didn't want my eldest brother to come back and compete with him for the position of powerful official."
Ji Qingwu nodded, then lowered his eyes to look at his sleeves, unknown what he was thinking about.
Once Wei Tongyou starts talking, she won't stop easily.
She analyzed with reason and evidence: "I think this matter is very obvious. Su Fengyue asked his son-in-law to frame you. He wanted you to be a scapegoat and then use your affairs to influence my eldest brother."
Ji Qingwu's left eyelid twitched slightly, and things began to become clear.
Wei Tongyou’s other guesses were all nonsense, but she was right about one thing.
Su Fengyue and Wei Ting are not on good terms, and he even likes to see Wei Ting get into trouble. This is not the temperament and consideration that a prime minister should have...
Wei Tongyou waved his hand in front of her and asked anxiously, "Did you hear what I said?"
Ji Qingwu blinked his eyelashes slowly, nodded and said slowly: "You are so loud, of course I heard it."
Seeing that she still didn't react much, the impatient Wei Tongyou stomped his feet.
