Chapter 9 Suitable to Be a Pet
Not long after Xiao Chongshan and Wei Changhai left, Wen Jin arrived in a carriage outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.
The housekeeper came forward with a few guards and helped him unload the things from the carriage and bring them into the princess's house. In fact, there were not many things. Apart from a change of clothes, there were only some frequently read books.
After walking through the corridor and crossing the bridge to Yunqi Palace, Wen Jin took the initiative to see Yan Qing.
In the spacious dormitory, the mahogany screen that separated the inner and outer halls has been removed and replaced by a large, exquisitely shaped golden cage. It is slightly taller than an adult man and is long and wide enough to accommodate a single sleeping room. wooden bed.
Wen Jin paused for a moment, staring intently at the cage that suddenly appeared. His feet felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't step out.
"The golden cage is very suitable for Mr. Wen's status." Yan Qing sat on the brocade couch in front of the window, holding a cup of tea in his hand, "Do you like it?"
Wen Jin's face turned visibly white.
The dark scene of his childhood appeared in his mind involuntarily, lingering like a nightmare. His fingertips were trembling, but a faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I like it. Thank you, Your Highness."
"Since you like it, let's live here in the future." Yan Qing's tone was very casual, as if she had just decided on something that made her happy, "I have put all my effort into preparing this for you."
Wen Jin was silent for a while, trying his best to ignore the cold feeling in his hands and feet, and then one word slowly escaped from the corner of his mouth: "Yes."
Yan Qing's eyes kept falling on his face, and she raised her hand and waved: "Come here."
Wen Jin walked over quietly and knelt down in front of her.
Yan Qing looked at his face at close range. Before she died in her previous life, she thought about the stubborn melon. If there was a future life, she would draw a clear line with him and become strangers to each other from now on.
However, she never dreamed that she would actually have a chance to live again.
At this time, Wen Jin was already the most outstanding noble son she had trained. In the previous life, she spent three years paving the way for him, creating opportunities for the late emperor to see his talents and strategies. Within three years, he was promoted to the top position with an exception. The position of assistant - in addition to his amazing talent and knowledge, another reason is that Wen Jin is also the powerful assistant left to the new emperor by the former emperor.
He holds great power and holds a high position.
Yan Qing felt that if she just broke off with him, wouldn't all the energy and thought she had spent previously be used to feed the dog?
Besides, Wen Jin's face is really pretty.
Even if he killed his master in his previous life, even if he betrayed her.
It was still undeniable that this face was no more, no less, and every part of it was exactly in her eyes.
It would be a pity not to see such a beautiful face from now on, so I just broke his wings, pulled out his claws, and let him become a pet.
Watching it every day not only satisfies her visual enjoyment, but also ensures that he has no chance to betray the master, which is very good.
"Wen Jin." Yan Qing supported her forehead with one hand, with a slight smile on her face, "I had a dream. I dreamed that I was injured by a pet that I raised by myself."
Wen Jin's face was completely white, and his eyes were slightly lowered, just falling on her skirt. The skirt was embroidered with golden patterns of luan birds, which showed her noble status: "That pet deserves to be damned."
"I can't bear to knock out his teeth." Yan Qing sighed, "It seems that if you pull out his claws, it loses some of the fun, so I think it's better to imprison the pet so that his teeth can't bite it. Even the claws can't hurt people."
"yes."
Yan Qing looked at his face for a long time, feeling a little disappointed: "If only you looked a little less beautiful..."
She wouldn't waste any time and just throw it into a mass grave and let the wolves dismember it.
Wen Jin heard the meaning of her words, and his tense heart finally relaxed. He should be grateful that he had such a face, otherwise he would really have no chance at all.
"Your Highness." Shen Mo walked in with a pair of shackles in his hand. When he saw Wen Jin was there, he paused slightly, then lowered his head and said, "My subordinate brought the shackles."
"Let it go."
"yes."
Yan Qing looked at Wen Jin: "The shackles are also prepared for you."
Wen Jin had calmed down, and the curve of his lips was gentle and gentle, making it impossible to see his true inner emotions: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Thank me?" Yan Qing clicked her tongue, "I have raised you for so many years, and I thought I knew you better than anyone else. However, now I can't tell whether you are sincerely grateful or just pretending to be flattering. How dare you do it in the future? Do you believe me?"
Wen Jin felt a pain in his heart, lowered his head, and his voice was harsh for no reason: "I will never lie to His Highness, never."
"In that case, go and put the shackles on yourself."
"yes."
Wen Jin stood up and walked over, picking up the heavy black iron shackles. Even if the overwhelming coldness condensed in his heart, his face did not show anything, but his shackled hands were heavier and sluggish than ever before.
His hands and feet were quickly locked. He dragged his shackles over and handed the key to Yan Qing with his own hands. There was no strange emotion on his gentle and handsome face, and his expression was calm and respectful.
At least she still wanted him, which was enough to reassure him.
Yan Qing took the key and raised his hand to signal.
Wen Jin then turned around and walked towards the golden cage, reached out to open the door and walked in. She closed the door and knelt down on the bedside. Her slender figure was elegant and smooth, and her demeanor was calm and unhurried. Even in this situation, she did not lose the slightest bit of composure.
"Years of education have not been in vain." Yan Qing tilted his head and looked at him. "There is no other person in this world who can wear shackles with the character of a gentleman. Wen Jin, this cage and shackles are really tailor-made for you."
"Yes." Wen Jin still spoke in a gentle tone, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yan Qing put down the teacup, relaxed his body and leaned on the brocade couch: "Do you know what I want to do next?"
"I dare not speculate."
"I want the whole world to submit to Suzaku City." Yan Qing raised his lips and smiled softly, "I have my eyes on the city lord's mansion in Suzaku City. It has become my palace two years ago."
Wen Jin quietly lowered his eyes, and an incredible idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
Suzaku City is located in the south of Yong Dynasty, in the center of Yong Dynasty's territory. The city is rich and prosperous. A hundred years ago, it was the combat center of Yong Dynasty. If troops are deployed in Suzaku City, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the best place for military strategists to fight.
After the unification of the Yong Dynasty, the emperor of that year gave the city to a female general with great achievements and named her the Suzaku King. After that, the Suzaku King settled down in Suzaku City, raised troops and bought horses, and passed it down from generation to generation until now, and has become a major concern for the emperor of the Yong Dynasty.
In addition, the Suzaku Queen of that year also kept many concubines. Her city lord's mansion was just like the emperor's harem. In order to keep the concubines, she specially built many courtyards with unique scenery and gave these courtyards poetic names.
Yan Qing wanted the city lord's mansion...
Wen Jin's heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar, and the cold feeling slowly permeated his limbs and bones, making him so cold that he couldn't speak.
"Your Highness." He spoke slowly, trying to make his voice sound calm. "Suzaku City has a large number of soldiers, and the current Suzaku King is a man with a deep mind. It is not easy to take over Suzaku City."
"It is indeed not easy." Yan Qing nodded casually, "But I don't think it is that difficult. Suzaku King Lu Ming is already my man."
Wen Jin was slightly shocked. He had been away from Suzaku City for three years and had been an official in the court for three years. He had no idea that Suzaku City already belonged to Yan Qing.
"Lu Ming is unruly by nature. How could he willingly..." submit to Your Highness?
"Everyone has weaknesses. As long as I find his weaknesses, he will naturally be vulnerable." Yan Qing said, "Besides, the situation of Suzaku King City is different from that of the past. Lu Ming is a smart man."
Wen Jin pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Yan Qing stood up and walked outside the cage. Looking at Wen Jin's quiet appearance, he smiled and said, "Wen Jin, you are still suitable to be a quiet pet. Looking at you makes people want to love you."
Wen Jin was startled, and smiled naturally, "As long as Your Highness likes it, I am willing to be a pet."
"Whether you are willing or not is not up to you." Yan Qing looked down at him, his voice lazy but cold as snow, "Be good to me in the future, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I don't want to destroy you with my own hands."
Wen Jin lowered his eyes, "Yes . "
"How many days do you think Yan Chen can hold out if you don't go to court?"
Wen Jin said: "At most seven days, he will go to my mansion in person."
"So sure?"
"Xiao Jinghan is imprisoned in the Grand Princess's prison. Xiao Chongshan can't feel at ease if he can't see his son. The emperor should ask the regent for help, but the regent is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs." Wen Jin's voice was pleasant, like a clear and clean stream, "The emperor can only rely on me."
Yan Qing nodded: "That makes sense."
