Chapter 25
The cold moonlight casts a cold light on the marble table.

Behind Eunuch Chen, a group of attendants filed in, holding an exquisite box in their hands, lined up in the courtyard.

"Yo, Marquis Yibei is also here, and the miscellaneous family from the province will make another trip." With a shrill voice, he looked at everyone in the courtyard with a smile.

"Eunuch Chen, is this?"

The boxes in the hands of the row of attendants were opened, and there were precious medicinal materials and a variety of supplements.

Jiang Yu looked at it and understood.

Eunuch Chen still had a kind smile on his face, he glanced at everyone's expressions, and met the young man's indifferent pupils, paused, and said unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty was very worried when he heard that King Qi had been assassinated, and sent a special family to express his condolences."

Du Ruo clenched his hands under his sleeves, his expression was gloomy. In the past, when His Highness was assassinated, why didn't the Emperor Dog ask him a question, and who did he come here pretending to show today?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness is fine."

Jiang Yu stood quietly aside, watching the two of them pretend to exchange greetings.The clothes on the back felt a bit sticky, and it made her uncomfortable to stick to her body. She pursed her thin lips, and the breath around her became even colder. aura.

Eunuch Chen didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and walked up to the young man with a smile on his face.

"Pass down the sage's oral order, Xuanyi Beihou immediately enters the palace."

Heh, it seems that this is the real purpose of the Dog Emperor, and any coming to condolences is just a cover!
Du Ruo had a sneer on his face, saying that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, but why is the dog emperor so indifferent to his own son? !

Really the emperor is ruthless.

Hearing the word entering the palace, a strange color flashed across Jiang Yu's cold eyes.

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious by nature, it seems that she can't get rid of this matter.

Looking past Eunuch Chen, she landed on the closed door behind him, a little irritability welled up in her heart, she lowered her eyes and suppressed the strange color.

When the resigning girl heard that the prince was going to enter the palace now, she immediately became nervous and whispered behind her.

"It's so late at night that you still have to enter the palace, I don't know what to do?"

All the people present were quietly waiting for the boy to answer, and the muttering naturally and clearly reached everyone's ears.

Jiang Yu cupped his hands helplessly, "The little girl is ignorant, and Eunuch Chen laughed at her."

Eunuch Chen's cloudy eyes looked at the little girl who was guarded by the young man, and he smiled abruptly.

"It's okay, the little girl is eager to protect the Lord." Her eyes turned slightly, and fell on the young man again. "Your Majesty was very worried and furious when he heard that King Qi and Yi Beihou had been assassinated, so he ordered Yi Beihou to enter the palace to understand the situation."

What he said was impeccable, and Eunuch Chen stared at the young man's cold face with cloudy eyes, waiting for his answer with a smile.

The shadows of the trees whirled under the moon, elongating the slender figure of the young man.The young man stood there obediently, looking innocent and harmless, but seeing those thin and cold eyes was inexplicably frightening.

"Chen Eunuch, can you wait for a while, and I will change into clean clothes before entering the palace with you."

Only then did Eunuch Chen realize that the boy's white clothes were stained with a little blood, the skirt was also stained with sweat, and the hair on his temples was sticking to his face.The whole person is slightly embarrassed, and the fatigue is obvious on the face.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. It is more important for Yi Beihou to enter the palace with the miscellaneous family first. Presumably His Majesty will not blame him."

He said with a smile, his tone undeniable.The two looked at each other, Jiang Yu was silent, and after a while, she said, "Then I'll have Eunuch Chen lead the way."

At the entrance of the imperial study room, the sky was getting dark, and a few stars were sparsely shining faintly.The guards not far away walked back and forth, and the hidden guards hidden in the dark stared at the surroundings, and there was silence.

Eunuch Chen stopped, bent over, stood at the door very respectfully and said softly.

"Your Majesty, Yibeihou has arrived."

"Enter."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, straightened his clothes before pushing the door open and entering.Under the bright light, Bei Shuyi was sitting at the desk, and there was an endgame on the table, with a black chess piece between his fingers.

"My minister has seen His Majesty."

Bei Shuyi nodded, no emotion could be seen on his face, the whole person was unhurriedly thinking about which step to take, leisurely and elegant, showing no worry or impatience.

He beckoned, let Jiang Yu sit opposite him, threw the black chess piece between his fingers into the chessboard, and looked up at her.

"Aiqing knows how to play chess."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the endgame on the table. One black and one white faced each other. The black chess surrounded the white chess tightly like a large army. Slowly eat away.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, without showing any sign on her face, "I know a thing or two."

"Oh~" The emperor suddenly became interested, "Look at this game, why not?"

Bei Shuyi proclaimed himself emperor when he was young, and after many years of imperial majesty accumulated on him, he became even more awe-inspiring.The years did not leave too many traces on his face, but instead added the charm of a mature man, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, not angry and arrogant.

Jiang Yu stared at the endgame, still thinking about his intentions.Taking chess as a game, this is probably a trial.

She happened to be present when King Qi was assassinated, so it can be said that she was the only witness, so this matter has nothing to do with her anyway.In addition, in less than half a day, the whole city knew about the commotion, and if there was no one behind it, she would not believe it.

Bei Jinchuan was assassinated at the feet of the emperor just after returning to the court, and the people were outraged, so no matter what the truth of this matter is, there must be a scapegoat to give the people an explanation.

The emperor is very suspicious, sometimes what is needed is not necessarily the truth, but loyalty, the loyalty of being loyal to the emperor alone.

Pursing his lips, he picked up the white chess and put it down slowly.White is surrounded tightly, it is futile to defend blindly, only attack is the best defense.

The situation on the chessboard suddenly changed.The white pieces are scattered, and there is a faint tendency of cohesion in the fall of this piece, the sword moves forward, and directly hits the yellow dragon in the hinterland of the black piece.

Bei Shuyi clapped his hands and applauded, "Not bad, not bad!" Originally, the black chess piece was already on the verge of annexation, but when the young white chess piece fell, it not only avoided its edge, but also opened up the situation. .

"Baiqi was already in a desperate situation, but he was saved by Yibeihou's trick, which is wonderful!"

"Your Majesty praises me." The young man was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was flattered and humiliated by the emperor's outspoken praise. "Although the white chess is out of danger, the general situation is gone. If your majesty pursues the victory, the white chess will lose."

The objective and calm exposition, without a hint of flattery, sounds very comfortable.

The emperor laughed out loud, looking very satisfied at the cold young man in front of him. Suddenly, he changed the subject, "I heard that King Qi was seriously injured to save Yi Beihou?"

His eyes became sharper, and he stared straight at the boy, not letting go of a trace of strangeness on his face.

The strong imperial coercion came to his face, Jiang Yu calmly let him look at him with a calm expression, "Qi Wang Rende, although he only met the minister once, he still didn't dislike the burden of the minister and left the minister, which caused the king of Qi to be injured. Please Your Majesty forgives."

Get up, bend over and bow.

Bei Shuyi stared at the young man for a long time, the young man's expression seemed composed, and his demeanor was calm and composed.Seeing that the white clothes on his body were stained with blood, his face was pale, and his brows were full of exhaustion.The young man pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, feeling a little guilty.

His expression softened, "Yi Beihou's words are serious, you hang the pot to help the world, heal the queen mother, and protect the safety of the miracle doctor is the responsibility of the country of Bei."

The night was getting dark, and it was already late when Jiang Yu came out of the imperial study.Yue'er hid in the clouds, it was pitch black, the clothes behind her had already dried, and the night wind blew past, feeling biting.

Eunuch Chen sent Jiang Yu to the gate of the palace, and from a distance, he saw a faint light flickering in the darkness.

"Young Master~" Resignation saw Jiang Yu coming out, and immediately ran to her happily, and put the cloak in his hand on her body.

Resignation supported Jiang Hou, looking at her pale face with distress.The boy's clothes were thin, and his hands were cold from the cold.

"Thank you, Eunuch Chen, to send you off."

Eunuch Chen nodded, looking at the thin and lonely back of the young man going away, he saw the shadow of King Qi in the young man in a daze.

It was the same when King Qi was sent to the frontier that year. He was so proud at such a young age, he would rather give up than surrender, like a lone wolf.Standing there looking at people with neither sad nor happy expression, the indifference in his eyes is not at all like a 12-year-old child who went to the frontier alone like that.
