Chapter 438 Where is the tea tasting? Clearly drunk.

Chi Rui lowered his voice and said cautiously: "There is someone here, and he is an old acquaintance of the general."

Before coming, Wei Ting had already prepared himself mentally for the possibility of meeting Ji Qingwu.

Wei Ting's fingers under the wrist guard suddenly tightened, but a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"That would be better."

*

Half a cup of tea ago, in the tent.

Ji Qingwu followed behind Emperor Wu Su and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, how did the people of Xijin poison the wild beasts?"

Zhao Mingyan's black dragon-patterned sleeves swept across the table. After sitting down, he said, "I'm thirsty."

Li Yuzong was about to serve tea when Ji Qingwu quickly took over his job, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

The green tea in the celadon cup was rippling. Zhao Mingyan took a sip and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, good tea."

Li Yuzong felt bitter. He had served for so long but had never received such an evaluation. The same tea leaves and teapot, when handled by a different person, become fragrant tea.

How can this be called tea tasting?

He is obviously drunk! Intoxicated by the tenderness of a beauty holding a cup of wine.

Li Yuzong was filled with emotion, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He presented a letter with both hands and raised it above his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Lu. Please take a look."

Ji Qingwu moved aside. Since this matter concerned state affairs, she could only swallow her curiosity for the time being.

Zhao Mingyan opened the memorial with a normal expression, his cinnabar pen moving across the rice paper.

He said calmly, "Grind the ink."

The ink ground by this beauty's hands is also fragrant. In order to keep his Majesty in a good mood, Li Yuzong whispered: "Miss Ji, the inkstone is here."

Li Yuzong hurriedly winked, but saw Ji Qingwu's slender hands retracted into his sleeves.

"My hand still hurts."

Zhao Mingyan paused for a moment and said, "Come here."

Ji Qingwu just didn't want to get too close and see the contents of the secret report.

She moved slowly to his side and stood there, staring at the door of the tent without blinking.

Zhao Mingyan continued to write with his right hand, and raised his left hand to press along her knuckles.

"Where does it still hurt?"

His palms were warm, and Ji Qingwu's ears turned red. He whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

It didn't hurt at all, it was just an excuse. But now she had to trouble the emperor, who was reviewing memorials, to massage her fingers, and she felt a little guilty about it.

Ji Qingwu wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it even tighter, rubbing it from time to time and caressing the back of her hand with his thumb.

Zhao Mingyan suddenly spoke.

"Yuwen Tianqing's mother is a foreigner. It is rumored that her flute music can bewitch people. She may be involved in the beast taming."

Ji Qingwu turned his head to look at his profile, his eyes widened in astonishment. How could she be Yuwen Tianqing's mother?

Yuwen Tianqing's mother was Gao Zhaoyue, the woman Su Fengyue was willing to betray his country and was thinking about until his death.

Ji Qingwu said: "Isn't she dead?"

Zhao Mingyan said: "The news of Gao Zhaoyue's death was released by the Xijin royal family, and outsiders have no way to verify it."

Ji Qingwu stared at him closely and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know that she is not dead?"

Zhao Mingyan curled his lips slightly and said, "There are spies from Xijin in the Beili Palace, and Xijin also has my people."

The old emperor of Xijin is in poor health and is bedridden all day. The crown prince Yuwen Tiancheng is the regent. Gao Zhaoyue faked his death for some unknown reason and now he has come back to life and is joining forces with the crown prince to deal with Beili.

That makes sense.

Ji Qingwu said: "Xi Jin also controls ferocious wild animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards. We must find a way to break the spider poison as soon as possible."

After saying this, she fell into deep thought. She decided to try her medicine powder first. When the situation became desperate, she could use the country's destiny in her hands.

Zhao Mingyan put down his pen, waited for the ink on the memorial to dry, and then pushed the memorial to Li Yuzong.

"Send the message back to Lin'an by fast horse."

Li Yuzong said respectfully: "Yes."

He just walked out of the tent with a happy old face.

Who said that their emperor is cold and unkind? Once he held the little hand, he never let go.

Li Yuzong bumped into the two people standing outside the tent.

Chi Rui didn't have the courage to pass the message, so he could only keep persuading Wei Ting at the door to wait before going in. If they ran into any scene and made Emperor Wu Su unhappy, all their military achievements would be in vain.

As Chi Rui kept trying to persuade him, tears welled up in his eyes, and he even said things like "the cunning rabbit is dead and the running dog is cooked", as if he was foreseeing Wei Ting's miserable future.

Wei Ting had long been fed up with Chi Rui's nagging. This young deputy general was good in every way except that he had an overly vivid imagination and was too talkative.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yuzong.

"Please tell Eunuch Li that I want to see the emperor."

Li Yuzong's eyes rolled. He would rather Wei Ting see the loving scene of the two masters inside, so that he could face the reality sooner.

"Don't worry, General. I will pass the message to you right away."

Li Yuzong shouted, "Your Majesty, General Zhenbei wants to see you!"

When Ji Qingwu heard Eunuch Li's call, she was about to withdraw her hand, but Zhao Mingyan held her wrist tightly.

With a pull and a tug, Ji Qingwu was pulled onto his thigh by him using his skillful strength.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, someone is about to come in from outside."

Zhao Mingyan held the warm and soft jade in his arms and said, "If I don't allow it, no one dares to come in."

They both knew who General Zhenbei was.

Ji Qingwu said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, he must have come for something important."

Zhao Mingyan lowered his hand from her waistline and asked, "Isn't this a serious matter?"

Ji Qingwu glared and said, "How can this be a serious matter? Let me down now."

Zhao Mingyan said in a serious tone: "To continue the lineage for the country is the most important thing for an emperor or a ruler."

Ji Qingwu said with a clear mind: "This is the top priority of the tyrant."

Then, she pushed him hard. Zhao Mingyan felt that she was genuinely reluctant, so he eased his strength, but still held her loosely with his long arms.

Zhao Mingyan poked her chest with his long finger and said softly, "It turns out that in Ah Wu's heart, the interests of the country and family are the first priority."

It felt soft under his hand, so he poked it a few more times.

Ji Qingwu asked, "Isn't that what your Majesty is thinking?"

Zhao Mingyan curled the corners of his lips, but didn't say yes or no. Sometimes he really wanted to be a tyrant.

He lowered his head, his eyes wandering around her collar, seeing her fair, soft and smooth skin, a dark color flashed in his eyes.

Ji Qingwu suddenly gasped.

When Wei Ting entered the tent, Ji Qingwu was standing beside the sandalwood table grinding ink, and Emperor Wu Su was reading a military book.

The beautiful scene of the emperor holding a scroll and the beauty grinding ink and adding fragrance with her red sleeves made Wei Ting's eyes red.

He quickly suppressed his inappropriate emotions, walked forward quickly and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Zhao Mingyan said: "General Zhenbei is still injured, please sit down and answer."

Wei Ting clasped his fists and said yes, then sat down on a chair beside him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li has sent people to escort several people from the Black Wind Village here. The three brothers of the Hu family are clamoring to see..."
