As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 611: Suppressing the Dragon Veins and Winning People’s Hearts

Thinking of this, Hongxia suddenly felt very nervous. She quickly exited and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and other places where Yunqi might go to find people.

But before her people were dispatched, she saw a figure in mysterious clothes stepping into the hospital.

The dim light of the lantern in the courtyard fell, illuminating the handsome face of the man, it was Yun Qi.

Yun Qi's face was a little gloomy. When he stepped to stand in front of Hong Xia, Hong Xia also smelled the faint smell of blood and some rancid and moldy smell, like the smell in a prison.

Hongxia quickly saluted Yun Qi, and her breathing was slightly tense: "I met Your Highness. The princess came back in the afternoon to read for a while, and fell asleep now... She has been waiting for His Highness, and she hasn't had dinner yet."

Yun Qi gave a faint "hmm" and pushed the door open.

When Xianggui who was waiting inside saw him entering, he quickly bowed and then left with several maids.

Yun Qi entered the carved moon wooden door and saw Xie Zhaozhao sleeping on the bed leaning against a soft pillow. There was a look of exhaustion on his face and he was sleeping deeply.

He stood and watched for a while, but did not go forward. Instead, he took his clothes and went to the clean room bath.

After taking a bath, he returned to the bed, hugged the sleeping Xie Zhaozhao, took away the soft pillow behind her, and slowly laid her down.

"Ok?"

Xie Zhaozhao was naturally disturbed by being moved. He opened his eyes slightly and murmured: "Ah Qi, you are back..."

Yun Qi responded softly, put her down and covered her with the quilt, "Would you like to eat something before going to sleep?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head.

She was so sleepy that she didn't even want to open her eyes, and she didn't seem that hungry.

She squeezed Yun Qi's hand and closed her eyes again.

Yun Qi sat on the bed, and after she was completely asleep, he slowly pulled his hand back, kissed Xie Zhaozhao's forehead gently, and turned around to go out.

Aunt Li hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Just prepare a bowl of noodles at will. It doesn't have to be too complicated." Yun Qi waved his hand, "Be quiet and don't wake up the princess."

Lady Li silently exited.

Yun Qi went to the desk outside and randomly found a book to read.

After a while, Mrs. Li brought a bowl of noodle soup.

Yun Qi took it and used it at the desk. Then he got up and returned to the inner room. Xie Zhaozhao was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Yun Qi took off his boots, turned around, hugged Xie Zhaozhao inside, and slept outside, then took Xie Zhaozhao into his arms and held him gently.

Xie Zhaozhao turned over habitually and leaned back in Yun Qi's arms without raising his sleepy eyelids.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Zhaozhao suddenly gasped and sat up, but fell back onto the pillow due to the inertia of an arm wrapped around his waist and abdomen.

"what happened?"

Yun Qi's hoarse voice sounded behind Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao was startled for a moment, turned around with his clumsy body, threw himself forward into Yun Qi's arms, and softly called "Ah Qi", but his body was still trembling faintly.

"Don't be afraid!"

Yun Qi frowned, with worry in his eyes. He patted Xie Zhaozhao's shoulder and coaxed her softly, "I had a nightmare. It's all fake."

Xie Zhaozhao leaned in front of Yun Qian with half-closed eyes for a while, and finally gradually calmed down, "I had a lot of dreams, one after another, all from the past."

Xie Zhaozhao actually couldn't remember those long-lasting memories clearly, but now they reappeared one by one in his dream.

It was obviously a dream, but the ups and downs, heartbreak and pain were so real. "Aqi, I read a book yesterday. The third sister wrote about rebirth... I'm afraid it was because of that book that I remembered those things in the past. How do you think the third sister knew about rebirth?"

Is it all down to imagination?
What an incredible imagination.

Yun Qi frowned again.

It's also because she is Xie Zhaozhao's sister, so she says hello when she sees her, and doesn't say anything extra. What I know most about her is her talk book, which has unique combinations and more novel ideas.

Is there anything extraordinary about Xie Jiajia?
She does seem to be different from ordinary women.

Yun Qi patted Xie Zhaozhao's shoulder, wondering whether such unusualness and difference would bring any changes to the future situation, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Xie Zhaozhao obviously had no idea about this matter. After leaning against Yun Qi for a while, he asked softly: "When did you come back? What time is it now?"

"I came back at [-]:[-] pm." Yun Qi stroked Xie Zhaozhao's long hair: "Now it's about... [-]:[-] pm, right?"

Recently, he was used to getting up before midnight, so he woke up when the hour came, and then heard the sound of the watchman's banging outside, and deduced the current time.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at him in surprise: "You usually go out very early, why today..."

"Hugh Mu."

Yun Qi lowered his head and kissed the corner of Xie Zhaozhao's eyes: "You have been busy for so long, shouldn't you take a break?"

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly, "I have been really tired recently. I need to take a good rest and spend two days with you."

Xie Zhaozhao was not happy, but sat up with a solemn expression, "Did things go wrong yesterday and the palace held you accountable again, so did you come to the house?"

"Not really."

Yun Qi sat up, put a warm fur quilt on Xie Zhaozhao, pulled her into his arms and held her, "Everything went smoothly yesterday, beyond imagination."

"Then, tell me quickly. I was waiting for you for a long time yesterday afternoon just for news!"

I was really sleepy and couldn't hold on anymore, so I fell asleep.

Yun Qi chuckled and said "Okay", and then informed Xie Zhaozhao of the progress of yesterday's matter: "After Lu Jingrong came forward, he pointed out that the construction of the Babel Tower was against the will of heaven and public opinion, which made the emperor furious."

"My father was in the palace at that time. He was very nervous and prepared to plead for Lu Jingrong."

"Who would have known that after the emperor became so angry, he didn't deal with Lu Jingrong and asked Lu Jingrong to calm down the dragon veins and win the hearts of the people for him, otherwise he would be held accountable."

"Mr. Lu has received the imperial edict. Now those people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry who were originally building the Tongtian Tower will be deployed by Mr. Lu."

Xie Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then this is going according to our ideas."

"Ah."

Yun Qi patted Xie Zhaozhao on the shoulder, "Lu Jingrong's suggestion is to build a Jingxiang Pavilion, sort out the history books of past dynasties, and compile various books to be included in the pavilion. This move will surely win the hearts of literati and scholars all over the world."

"Grandpa Huang didn't say much, but I think he is very optimistic about this matter."

"Father also proposed strategies to appease the surrounding people, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily."

Yun Qi laughed and added, "That means Lu Jingrong is the one who will raise this matter. If anyone else raises it, I'm afraid Grandpa Huang may not accept it."

Lu Jingrong became famous at a young age and was known as a fairy who could judge the future through life and death.

Emperor Xuanwu once scoffed at such strange and mysterious things, and he naturally didn't believe it.

But now that he is old and obsessed with things like seeking immortality and asking for immortality, Lu Jingrong's words can affect him.

Just like the Qiu Ziyang from before, he clearly had no ability and could only talk nonsense, but he managed to coax the favor of Emperor Xuanwu with the help of God and people.
