Chapter 101: Suzaku King Luming

"I don't dare." Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows in submission, his attitude was extremely obedient and docile, "I know I was wrong."

"You know what's wrong?" Yan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a complicated tone, "You have done a good job. You are a born powerful minister. I should be happy for you."

Wen Jin's heart sank, and she couldn't help but clenched her hands: "Isn't it—"

"When I decided to let you join the officialdom, I should have understood that sooner or later you would become stronger." Yan Qing said calmly, "This day comes earlier than I expected."

Yan Qing said this without any other meaning, it was just the truth.

Wen Jin's current methods of controlling the city are definitely in line with the characteristics of a powerful minister.

However, to Wen Jin's ears, these words seemed to say that you are out of my control and I don't want you anymore.

The blood on the powerful minister's handsome face faded, and his handsome face was as pale as paper: "I have done a lot of things that have made His Highness unhappy recently. I will ask Your Highness to punish me when I return to Suzaku City."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be particularly looking forward to my punishment."

Wen Jin nodded: "Yes."

"Why?"

"I did something wrong and deserved to be punished." Wen Jin pursed her lips and said in a lonely voice, "I haven't done enough to satisfy His Highness. I have dull qualifications and often make mistakes. Sometimes I don't take everything into consideration. There will be omissions in calculations... I need to be taught a lesson by Your Highness."

"An oversight in calculation?" Yan Qing smiled faintly, "For example?"

Wen Jin looked down at the soft blanket spread in the carriage, the corners of her lips turned white.

"Don't want to say it?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyes and remained silent, his heart filled with silence. Even though he was guilty, how could he speak at this time?

"I only give you one chance." Yan Qing said calmly, "If you don't tell me this time, you won't have the chance to tell me in the future."

Wen Jin was slightly startled and couldn't help but open her lips: "Your Majesty..."

Yan Qing looked at him calmly.

"I did something very stupid, very stupid once." Mr. Quan Chen's voice was harsh, and the hands hanging at his sides were about to tear his robe to pieces, "It was very stupid, very stupid... very stupid."

He used five "very stupid" words in a row, which made Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh: "How stupid is it?"

"This is stupidity that needs to be taught a lesson by His Highness." There was bitterness and loneliness in Wen Jin's voice, but more importantly, regret and sorrow, "I am not good enough, smart enough, and capable enough -"

"Stop." Yan Qing raised his hand, "I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Wen Jin calmed down and began to be immersed in regret again, unable to extricate himself.

There was no telling how stupid what he was doing was.

Yan Qing didn't bother to ask more questions.

The carriage quickly started moving again without any delay from the failed assassination.

Langya, who was riding alone on the horse, couldn't help but sigh, His Highness was so hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

They talk about punishment and cleaning up, but what is the reality?

Wen Jin was obviously supposed to ride with him, but instead he rode in a carriage with His Highness for two days. When he stopped to rest at night, he asked for some ointment from him. Everyone knew why His Highness asked for the ointment.

A grown man, can he be so pretentious?

But Langya was also wondering, had Wen Jin done something very stupid?

when? What's up?

The carriage traveled for three days, and on the fourth day Yan Qing changed the horse. They galloped all the way to Suzaku City. When they crossed the border of Chu State, they met up with Suzaku King Luming who came to meet them.

Lu Ming is also a young and handsome man, but his appearance and demeanor are different from Wen Jin. He tends to be unruly and sharp, with a tall and thin body. His whole person exudes the sharpness of a sword unsheathed - yes, an unsheathed sword. .

It's sharp and cold, making people feel dangerous.

The horse's hooves gradually stopped, and Lu Ming stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Is your highness safe and well?"

"Nothing's wrong."

Lu Ming turned to look at Wen Jin and raised his eyebrows: "Are you not dead yet?"

Wen Jin had been on the road for a few days and had already adjusted his mood. After hearing this, he said calmly: "Toefl, not yet."

"What kind of blessing is that?" Lu Ming sneered, "You are not welcome in Suzaku City."

Wen Jin looked calm: "You don't have the final say whether you welcome me or not."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Jin and Yan Qing fell silent at the same time.

This sentence sounds very familiar.

Wen Jin pursed her lips and glanced at Yan Qing, then quietly closed her eyes and said nothing more.

Lu Ming snorted coldly and turned to look at Yan Qing: "The Regent and Uncle Chen Guo have arrived at Suzaku City. What are your plans?"

Yan Qing was not surprised at all when he heard this: "How many days have you been here?"

"Arrived two days ago." Lu Ming frowned, "I have not allowed them to see His Highness because of his unwellness. The Regent didn't say anything, but Uncle Chen Guo was very dissatisfied and asked to see His Highness many times. He was angry and confused. Anxious, as if there is something urgent."

"There are indeed urgent matters." Yan Qing said calmly, "I have been away for so long, and the poison between the Queen Mother and Yan Chen is about to break out."

Lu Ming was surprised: "Your Highness poisoned the Emperor... Well, I mean, did you really poison the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"

He originally wanted to say the emperor, but when he thought that the emperor and Yan Qing were brothers and sisters, the consequences of saying this would be to take advantage of His Highness, so he stopped abruptly.

Wen Jin raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him calmly, then calmly looked back, looking down at her hands.

After these heavenly medicines and maintenance, the hands have almost returned to their original state. Some marks left on the palms are not obvious at first glance, and hardly affect the appreciation of the hands.

Of course, it will not affect his speed and accuracy when killing people.

"I didn't expect His Highness to actually poison the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Lu Ming got on his horse, "But the Queen Mother, that old witch, has a vicious heart and should be taught a lesson."

When he received the news, he didn't believe it. He didn't expect His Highness to be so arrogant and poison him without any scruples.

"King Suzaku is speaking more and more freely." Langya reminded you leisurely, "The old witch you are talking about is His Highness's mother."

Lu Ming sneered: "She is not worthy of being a mother, let alone His Highness's mother."

Langya: "..." That makes sense.

Yan Qing had no reaction to what they said.

"After returning to the Imperial City, did the old witch cause trouble for His Highness again?" Lu Ming said in a displeased tone, "His Highness is so kind. If they had not chosen their own death, Your Highness would not have poisoned them."

Kind?

Yan Qing's expression was subtle, and then he hummed lazily: "I am the kindest woman in the world."

"In addition to being kind, Your Highness is also the most beautiful in appearance and the most noble in status." Lu Ming complimented without blushing and out of breath, "There is only one in the sky and no one on earth."

Yan Qing frowned: "What is your intention in flattering me so much?"

"Didn't His Highness just send two servants to his palace?" Langya guessed, "King Suzaku may also want to be one of them."
