This queen is not too curly

Chapter 152 Can You Come Alone?

The room was pitch black.

The sword in Ji Fei's hand has been unsheathed.

Yan Yuan suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, and suddenly her thoughts moved.

"Wait a minute."

She stopped Ji Fei.

I picked up a lantern from the corridor of the inn, and walked into the room lightly.

The window is open in the room, the breeze is blowing slowly, the frosty moonlight is quietly falling on the window sill, and a quiet figure is dormant on the chair by the window sill.

Yan Yuan approached a few steps with the lantern in her hand.

The light of the lantern slowly illuminated the man's black and gold embroidered clothes, bony and pale fingertips, and... a cold and ill-mannered face that was ready for leisure.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Ji Fei finally saw the uninvited guest's face clearly, and was stunned.

He was also silent for a while, then bowed his knees and saluted: "Caomin Ji Fei, see Your Majesty."

Under the silent moonlight, Chen Lingchen finally raised his eyes, and looked down at Ji Fei from above: "Excuse me."

Yan Yuan only felt her head hurt again.

What is this dog doing here?
Could it be that he sneaked it out?
Where is his bodyguard?
Yan Yuan had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and asked patiently, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

Chen Ling's eyes finally returned to Yan Yuan's face: "Why, can't I come alone?"

Yan Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "... yes."

Of course he can come.

It's just that once you come, you may not be able to go back.

Dali Temple has dug out the door of Chu Jingyu's life, and Chu Jingyu and Yu Xing know each other, and now they are all in the imperial capital, he and the queen mother have already torn their faces, and the situation in the imperial capital is turbulent.

He was afraid that they would not be able to use his fists, so he made a special trip to make room for them, right?
Yan Yuan gritted her teeth angrily.

Chen Ling stood up and walked in front of her.

He met her anxious gaze, with a somewhat happy expression on his face: "I still have something to say in the morning."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Isn't it smooth sailing?

Yan Yuan looked at him indifferently.

Ji Fei looked back and forth between Chen Lingchen and Yan Yuan, his gaze was slightly astringent, and he leaned over and said indifferently: "Caomin take your leave first, and go prepare some meals."

Ji Fei walked out of the room and closed the door.

Only Yan Yuan and Chen Lingchen were left in the room.

Yan Yuan rubbed between her brows, turned around and hung the lantern on the hanger, then lit the candles on the table.

The room became brighter, and looking at Chen Lingchen again, he found that his face was full of tiredness, and his lips were almost bloodless.

Yan Yuan was startled: "Why do you..."

But they were fine when they parted in the morning, and it was only a day later, why are they in such a mess?

Yan Yuan frowned, raised her hand to touch his forehead.

Chen Ling lowered her head docilely: "No problem."

His forehead was slightly cold, and he was sweating a little.

Yan Yuan was a little confused, it was freezing outside, what did he do to sweat?
When she was in a daze, Chen Lingchen had already reached out and touched her collar, untied the mink collar around her neck, and then poked cold fingertips into her collar.

Yan Yuan trembled, her face suddenly darkened.

She quickly pressed his hand: "You..."

What does the dog emperor want to do?
What's on his mind? ?

Chen Ling took a short breath, and his voice was a little flustered: "...don't move!"

Yan Yuan didn't move, she just looked at Chen Lingchen in doubt.

With a serious expression on her face, Chen Ling opened her skirt with her fingertips, and carefully took out the incense pendant inside.

Yan Yuan came to her senses: "This is the incense pendant given by the Queen Mother, but it's okay, I've already..."

She wanted to say that I had replaced Xiangwan, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Lingchen's next action.

Chen Lingchen took out his dagger, cut the string of the incense pendant, and threw it aside.

Then he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out some black concoction from the porcelain bottle, dipped it with his fingertips and carefully applied it on Yan Yuan's neck.

Yan Yuan looked down at the incense pendant in disbelief.

The incense pendant is carved with high-quality Hetian jade, the whole body is white, and the carvings are exquisite. It is tied with a finely woven indigo-colored lanyard.

Yan Yuan stared blankly at it, only to feel that the blood in her whole body was frozen into ice, and cold sweat instantly swept her whole body.

That lanyard...!
After Chen Lingchen finished applying the medicine, he poured the remaining medicine juice in the medicine bottle onto the string of the incense pendant.

Yan Yuan only felt that it was difficult to breathe: "This rope..."

Chen Ling said solemnly: "Wearing half a month of poisonous gas will enter the body. There will be no abnormality in the body, but it cannot bleed."

……

Suddenly learning that she escaped death, Yan Yuan sat on the bed and broke out in cold sweat.

She soon realized the truth.

Xiangwan has always been just a trick, and from the very beginning, the ultimate move is the incense pendant rope, so the Queen Mother is sure that she will replace Xiangwan, and then wear the incense pendant without worry?
but……

Yan Yuanchi questioned Chen Lingshen: "How does she know that I will definitely get hurt?"

If she hadn't been injured along the way, wouldn't she have returned to the country of Yan with the poison?
Chen Ling opened his mouth heavily, but did not answer.

Yan Yuan's mind suddenly flashed with calcium carbide, and she suddenly realized that the Queen Mother didn't need to be sure that she would be hurt, as long as she was a woman.

Half a month of poisonous gas enters the body, and the rest only needs to be left to time.

If Chen Lingchen hadn't chased after her, if she had worn this incense pendant all the way to Jin country...

She will definitely die in the state of Jin.

……

Candles flickered in the room.

Chen Lingchen had completely untied the incense pendant rope and replaced it with another similar rope.

He walked to the bed, lowered his head, and hung the incense pendant around Yan Yuan's neck again.

Yan Yuan looked at the tired face on his face, and asked hesitantly, "So you chased it out of the palace because you suddenly found something wrong with it?"

He must not have known about the problem with the incense pendant long ago, otherwise he would not have let her leave the palace with it.

So he discovered the problem, found someone to make a similar rope, and had to catch up with the team's schedule... Is that why he looked so tired?

Chen Ling fastened the lanyard, put his forehead on Yan Yuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Not all."

Yan Yuan was stunned: "Then there is..."

Chen Ling raised his head, his face was indifferent: "Don't worry."

What are you worried about?
Yan Yuan was at a loss.

Chen Ling's palm was already on her neck, and a cool kiss fell.

Yan Yuan was unprepared, and retreated instinctively: "Uh Chu..."

Chen Ling restrained her heavily, kissed her back and forth, swallowed her surprise, then ruffled Yan Yuan's wet hair, and bit her lips.

Yan Yuan passively endured it, and couldn't help muttering: "...It hurts."

Chen Ling said calmly, "Yes."

Yan Yuan: "..."

So he did it on purpose.

Yan Yuan was annoyed, her gratitude was gone.

She has endured this dog emperor for a long time, can his habit of biting people be cured?

Furious, Yan Yuan leaned forward, under Chen Ling's surprised gaze, raised his chin, imitated his appearance, pressed against his lips and crushed him, and then bit his lips.

Chen Ling's heavy breath trembled.

Yan Yuan just felt refreshed and proudly asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Chen Ling looked at Yan Yuan deeply, and the bright light in her eyes, and slowly suppressed her breathing.

"...Yan Yuan."

Chen Ling called her name in a low voice.

He leaned close to her lips, but didn't kiss, just begged in a low voice: "One more time."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan never thought that she would turn red because of a single sentence.

Fortunately, there was a knock on the door just in time.

Yan Yuan came out of desperation and rushed to the outside to open the door.

Outside the door is Ji Fei.

The embarrassment on Yan Yuan's face was still there, and she became even more embarrassed when she saw Ji Fei.

Fortunately, Ji Fei didn't pay attention to her strangeness, he just lowered his eyes slightly and said gently: "Dinner is ready."

Only then did Yan Yuan realize that there were several waiters behind him, and each waiter held a food table in his hand.

She hurriedly made way: "Oh...OK."

……

The shop waiters filed in, and soon the table was filled with exquisite dishes.

Ji Fei asked to resign in a gentle voice: "Two take it easy, idiot... I will take my leave first."

Yan Yuan hurriedly stopped him: "Wait!"

Ji Fei stopped and turned around.

Yan Yuan said: "You are tired too, let's stay and have dinner together."

A hesitant look appeared on Ji Fei's face: "But..."

Chen Ling's deep and indifferent voice sounded behind Yan Yuan: "Mr. Ji, you're welcome."

Ji Fei paused, and saluted with a wave of his sleeves: "Yes."

So the three of them sat down at a table.

Yan Yuan sat in the middle, Chen Ling Shen was on the left, and Ji Fei was on the right. The atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant.

But Yan Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to these things, she asked Ji Fei to stay for another purpose:
Chen Lingshen and Ji Fei are not only monarchs and ministers, but also grasshoppers on a rope. Now that the situation is critical, they need a chance to sit down and be honest.

Yan Yuan said, "I haven't officially introduced it yet."

She looked at Chen Ling and said, "This is Ji Fei. I saw that the former coach of Bo Ying was also my leader. Three years ago in the Xueyuan cave, His Majesty might have heard his voice. If he hadn't brought someone to lure him I can't go into the cave by myself even if I'm chasing soldiers."

Chen Lingchen's face was originally indifferent, but when he heard the word Xue Yuan, he was slightly taken aback, and the frost on his face finally melted a little.

Yan Yuan turned to Ji Fei and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need any introduction. My real name is Yan Yuan, and I am the daughter of Yan Zhou, Marquis of Dingbei."

Ji Fei nodded. Regarding Yan Yuan's identity, he actually learned about it from the Empress, but hearing her confession in person today has a different meaning.

Yan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

These two are smart people, and since they sat at the same table, it means that they have recognized that they are in the same boat.

Since we are on the same boat, we always have to share some secrets.

Yan Yuan talked about the golden silk jade pendant given by Princess Yuerong.

Chen Ling brought up the case of fake money that Chu Jingyu was suspected of.

After hearing this, Ji Fei was silent for a moment, and said something irrelevant:

The finances of Chu Jingyu's mansion have been stretched recently, it seems not only because of the vacancy caused by fake money, he also recruited skilled craftsmen everywhere in Jin State, spared no expense to hire them back to the country, and secretly resettled them.

Yan Yuan wondered, "What kind of talents did he recruit?"

Ji Fei said: "Carpenters, masons, miners."

Yan Yuan asked, "Does he want to build a house?"

Ji Fei shook his head.

Yan Yuan became more and more confused.

Chen Ling's deep voice sounded: "He is preparing to dig for the treasure in Blue City."

Ji Fei said: "When the Empress of Jin got the treasure map and hadn't announced that she would send it to Yan, he had already started preparing it."

Chen Ling took a deep breath: "You mean, he also has a treasure map in his hand?"

Ji Fei said in a low voice, "Nine out of ten."

Yan Yuan's eyes widened solemnly.

Their deduction was too jumpy, and it was a bit beyond her expectation.

How could Chu Jingyu have a treasure map in his hand?Isn't the treasure map the incense pendant given by Princess Yuerong?
If the treasure map has always been in Chu Jingyu's hands...

Yan Yuan blurted out: "Then why didn't he dig it early? Did he have to wait until someone snatched it?"

With his personality, how could it be possible to hold back?

He couldn't even hold back the stolen goods from Luan Yufang!

Ji Fei said slowly: "Maybe the treasure is in a very difficult place to dig."

Yan Yuan was startled, but quickly understood.

It is precisely because the treasure is unique and difficult to dig, so he has obtained the treasure map for many years, but still does not move. Who would have thought that the second blue city treasure would be born, and the empress would actually want to give it to the royal family of Yan Kingdom, He couldn't sit still any longer.

Such an inference is logical.

There is also an explanation for the torture and killing of Princess Yuerong.

The only doubt remains: Does Chu Jingyu really have such ability and patience?

Yan Yuan lowered her head in thought.

Ji Fei suddenly said: "Today there has been a group of people following the convoy two or three miles away, but His Majesty's people?"

Chen Ling said seriously, "No."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone fell into silence.

If it's not Chen Lingshen's person, then it's the assassin.

Those people didn't act, but followed the convoy step by step, obviously waiting for an opportunity, or maybe they didn't want to do anything in the territory of Yan country.

The border between Yan and Jin countries is a snowy forest. As long as people die in the forest, even if they don't get out of Yan, they can move their bodies there, just like how they killed Chen Lingchen back then.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath: "Then what can we do now?"

They are now like rats stalked by snakes.

If they don't do it all the time, do you really let them follow it all the time?
Chen Ling said slowly, "Dinner first."

Yan Yuan: "???"

Ji Fei was also slightly stagnant, and soon smiled: "You really should eat first, Xiaobai, let's see if these dishes suit your appetite?"

How did the topic suddenly progress to eating?
Confused, Yan Yuan lowered her head and glanced at the dishes on the table.

Most of these dishes are meat, spicy and fragrant.

The dishes were ordered by Ji Fei, and seeing that Bo Ying often ate and lived together when he was out on inspections, Ji Fei knew her tastes very well.

Yan Yuan's stomach growled.

She picked up the chopsticks decisively.

The tip of the chopsticks just fell on the meat.

Yan Yuan suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan suddenly discovered a serious problem.

Although these dishes are already very rich...

But the dog emperor, he eats grass.
