Chapter 63 Born to Be a Powerful Official
Yan Qing no longer paid attention to the news in the palace.
After taking two detoxification pills and drinking the decoction for several days, Ji Weiyu's body had been cleared of all the remaining toxins. The remaining toxins that were so subtle that they could be ignored no longer caused any serious harm to the body.
However, Yan Qing had the intention of punishing him, so he provided the decoction twice a day in the morning and evening, and watched him drink it with a grimace until not a drop was left.
Originally thought it was just a matter of removing the remaining poison, but Yan Qing soon discovered that Ji Weiyu's physical condition was somewhat abnormal. Logically speaking, after detoxifying, his complexion should be getting better day by day, but he was just the opposite.
The green and black color on his face disappeared, but he began to become pale and haggard.
Occasionally, you can still see the remaining blood streaks at the corners of your mouth.
His mental state was also somewhat dazed and he looked particularly tired.
Yan Qing thought of Ji Weiyu's frequent visits to the God's Son Hall on the second floor in the past few days, and it became clear in her heart. She found an opportunity to ask, "Where is Wen Jin?"
Ji Weiyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We are rushing to the Chu Kingdom as fast as possible. We will arrive in three or two days at most."
"So you have been paying attention to his movements?" Yan Qing's expression was calm, but his expression was already unhappy, "Ji Weiyu, are you caring a little too much about Wen Jin?"
Ji Weiyu was startled: "Your Highness?"
"I have reminded you more than once to do your part." Yan Qing's eyes were cold, "Do you think I am joking with you?"
Ji Weiyu pursed her lips: "I just did some divination casually."
Yan Qing looked at him with a flat gaze, not distinguishing between happiness and anger.
"...Okay, I was wrong." Ji Weiyu's throat felt itchy and he couldn't help but cough. Bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it away, "I have been a little overdrawn recently. Your Highness, please don't be upset. I …I’m going to take a rest.”
He wishfully thought that Yan Qing was worried about his physical condition...
Yes, she was worried about his physical condition.
Ji Weiyu walked towards the inner hall as if he was running away, never admitting that he had set foot in the area that Yan Qing did not allow him to set foot in.
Everyone has a bottom line, and Yan Qing is no exception.
Ji Weiyu just wanted to know what was so special about that person named Wen Jin that he deserved to be taken so seriously by Yan Qing.
When Ji Weiyu was resting, he was still thinking about how he should entertain Wen Jin when he arrived in Chu State.
After all, we cannot neglect distinguished guests who have come from afar.
If that doesn't work, give him a few beauties, choose those with enchanting figures and good at enchantment. It would be great if he can be admitted to the eldest princess's house. Maybe the eldest princess also likes men of his type.
Ji Weiyu thought wildly, and even wanted to give Wen Jin to the Queen Mother Huo Huo, as long as she didn't pester Yan Qing.
He didn't know that Yan Qing had already stood up and walked out while he was thinking wildly.
Take a leisurely stroll into the garden. The paths are winding, the garden is quiet, and the air is filled with fragrance.
In the spring season, all kinds of flowers are in bloom. I wonder if it is because of the residence of the Son of God, the flowers here are more beautiful than in ordinary mansions.
Yan Qing leisurely admired the surrounding scenery and asked in a leisurely voice, "What happened to the Xiao family?"
A man in black appeared behind him, lowered his head and replied: "Mrs. Xiao in Jizhou passed away, and Xiao Chongshan took Mrs. Xiao back to Jizhou to honor her filial piety."
"Mrs. Xiao passed away?" Yan Qing raised the corners of her lips slightly, "What a coincidence?"
"Mr. Wen sent someone to do it."
Yan Qing raised his eyes slightly and looked at the boundless blue sky: "Where is Xiao Jamhan?"
"Mr. Wen ordered someone to cut off Xiao Jinghan's hand and gave one to the emperor and Xiao Chongshan each."
Yan Qing frowned: "So, Jamel Xiao is dead?"
"Not dead yet, just missing his arms."
Yan Qing was silent for a moment: "What else happened in the court?"
"In the name of countering the rebellion, Mr. Wen selected 50,000 elite troops from the Xiao family army. Xie Yunzhou led the troops. Mr. Wen served as a military advisor. He left the imperial city on the fifth day of March and headed to the southwest to counter the rebellion."
Yan Qing's eyes were delicate, and Wen Jin was going to quell the rebellion?
I'm afraid that countering the rebellion is a lie, but taking the opportunity to leave the imperial city is the real thing.
"Where is Wen Jin?"
"After Mr. Wen left the imperial city, he parted ways with Xie Yunzhou and headed towards the Chu Kingdom alone."
A hint of faintness passed over the corner of Yan Qing's lips, and it was indeed so.
"My subordinates received news this morning that Mr. Wen has arrived at the auxiliary capital of Chu State and will arrive in Chu State at most tomorrow."
Yan Qing frowned: "Didn't he leave the imperial city on the fifth day of March?"
Today is only March 11th, and we have been gone for six days.
Can we arrive tomorrow?
"Yes." The man in black lowered his head and explained, "Mr. Wen was rushing in a hurry. Apart from changing horses along the way, he only rested for about an hour every day, so it was faster than expected."
Yan Qing didn't say anything, but it was faster than expected.
The half-month journey on horseback was shortened to seven days. He mistook people for people and horses for horses. Is this because he was afraid that she would run away?
Yan Qing asked: "What's going on with the rebels?"
"I haven't found out the specific situation yet, but the rebel leader's name is Feng Tianqi, and I have heard of this person's name before."
Feng Tianqi?
Yan Qing's eyebrows were cold, and it seemed that he was Wen Jin's man.
Three years.
It turns out that not only was she reborn, but so was Wen Jin who entered the court.
He is more suitable to be a powerful minister than she thought. He has quietly won over many of his own confidants. He has a gentle smile, but can scheme people to the bone.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xie Yunzhou, the leader of the army, should also be his man, and even the matter of suppressing the rebellion is probably fake.
Yan Qing suddenly frowned, Feng Tianqi.
In her previous life, she had never heard of this name until her death. When did Wen Jin have such a person under his command?
She remembered that in the three years of her previous life, although Wen Jin was like a fish in water in the court, most of the people who had close contacts with him were important officials in the court. He could easily make people obedient. Xie Yunzhou and Feng Tianqi... Yan Qing had never heard of them.
She had been staying in the imperial city for three years. If these two people really existed under Wen Jin's command, there was no reason why she would not hear any news.
Yan Qing recalled Wen Jin's reaction in those days. She did not show any abnormality to her change of attitude, and unconditionally and extremely docilely followed her every decision.
She did not even raise the slightest doubt.
Although he was quite obedient in Suzaku City before, he really didn't find it strange to face her sudden change of attitude and hear what she said after three years in the court?
As a powerful minister, he really went in without resistance when he was given a cage, not even the shackles.
Yan Qing walked silently on the cobblestone path, and only then did he begin to judge what might have happened to Wen Jin. Could it be that...
In these three years, his fate and situation have also become different from his previous life?
What is the reason?
Yan Qing looked into the depths of the garden, and a strange color flashed across his eyes.
