Chapter 99: Drinking and Causing Trouble

After walking for more than thirty miles, Wen Jin looked up at the vast sky, thinking that he had finally left the disgusting place of the Imperial City of Chu State, and his mood involuntarily improved.

"The Kingdom of Chu will be very lively next." Langya turned his head and glanced at the imperial city that was far behind him. "The prince has lost power and the princes are competing for the heir apparent. Ji Weiyu, the respected son of god, will play a vital role. effect."

However, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. At the same time, all the ambitious princes will probably take the initiative to show their favor to him and use various means to win over him, which will definitely make him very annoying.

Yan Qing's lazy voice came from the carriage: "Wen Jin."

Wen Jin came to his senses instantly, jumped up from the horse neatly, and entered the carriage in the blink of an eye: "Your Highness."

"My legs are sore." Yan Qing leaned on the carriage and stretched out her feet, "Pinch."

Wen Jin knelt in the carriage covered with soft carpets. She said yes, reached out and put Yan Qing's feet on her knees, and squeezed them gently with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered.

Yan Qing closed her eyes, and the atmosphere in the carriage softened instantly.

"I suddenly want to drink." Yan Qing said in a lazy voice, "It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. When we return to Suzaku City, let Lu Ming find someone to brew some jars of peach blossom wine."

Wen Jin's body froze, she didn't know what she thought of, and her downcast face suddenly turned pale.

"I remember that you can also make wine." Yan Qing opened her eyes and looked at him, "Have you drunk peach blossom wine in the past three years?"

Wen Jin shook his head: "No."

"dislike?"

Wen Jin was silent for a moment and hummed softly.

Yan Qing raised her eyebrows: "You have been in the court for three years, and you don't need to socialize with your colleagues?"

"Yes, but I don't know how to drink." Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't drink alcohol at all."

Yan Qingdan asked: "Why?"

Wen Jin narrowed her eyes: "I don't like it."

"You drank peach blossom wine on the eve of entering the court. I remember that you said you liked it at the beginning." Yan Qing's voice was indifferent and lazy, "Why don't you like it now?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows in silence, unable to see clearly the color in his eyes.

"Because of drinking?"

Wen Jin was startled and suddenly froze in all his movements. His face turned pale and he was unable to react for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Yan Qing already understood something in his heart.

She still remembers that before she died, the air was filled with the rich smell of peach blossom stuffing, which was the smell she was most familiar with.

During the years when she lived with the eldest princess, she would have some brewed every year, and would also send a few jars to Wen Jin.

But now he says he doesn't like it anymore.

It’s not that I haven’t drank it, it’s that I don’t like it.

"Wen Jin." Yan Qing looked at him thoughtfully and calmly changed the subject, "Have any women liked you in the three years since you entered the court?"

Wen Jin was slightly startled and quickly shook his head: "No."

"Really?"

"real."

"I don't believe it." Yan Qing's eyes fell on his face, "Young master, as gentle as jade, and the most favored and powerful minister in the court, are all the noble ladies of the aristocratic families blind?"

Wen Jin adjusted her emotions and said in a calm voice, "I am not interested in them."

So he didn't care whether they were blind or not.

"With your conditions, you can marry a princess if you want." Yan Qing closed her eyes again, her voice as light as water, "Marrying a princess will make your path to power more smooth, have several children, and live with you for the rest of your life. Harmonious and beautiful, smooth and worry-free.”

If he is willing, Yan Qing can let him go free.

Wen Jin said nothing.

This issue has never been considered for him, so there is no need to think about it.

Outside the carriage, Langya looked up at the boundless blue sky and wanted to ask, did His Highness think he was deaf and blind, or had he forgotten that there was... oh no, several people outside?

The carriage Ji Weiyu prepared for His Highness has a simple appearance, luxurious and comfortable interior, and a secret compartment full of candied fruits and tea. However, the sound insulation effect is not that good.

well.

Your Highness is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

If you want him to say, such a cruel and disobedient person should be thrown away. Why should he keep it?

Throw it far away to avoid getting upset.

"Have you had a bad temper during this period?" Yan Qing said in a calm voice, "Do you have any doubts in your mind?"

Wen Jin shook his head: "Your Highness has a good temper."

Yan Qing sneered, laughing at his duplicity: "Why don't you ask me why you know that my father and Xiao Jamhan conspired to poison me?"

She stayed in Zhuque City for ten years. When the late emperor passed away, she was ordered to return to the imperial city.

As soon as she came back, she found out that Jamel Xiao was going to poison her. On the surface, this matter seemed very unreasonable.

Since it was a conspiracy before his death, only the late emperor and Xiao Jinghan should know about it. This plan has not even begun to be implemented, and no clues have been revealed.

Unless Yan Qing had predicted it, she would not know the truth.

Wen Jin was stiff for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Then how did Your Highness know that Xiao Jinghan was ordered to poison?"

"What do you think?"

Wen Jin pursed her lips and said in a quiet voice: "Before Your Highness returned to the capital with the order, I knew nothing about the conspiracy between the late emperor and Xiao Jinghan. I deserve to die."

"Since it is a conspiracy, it is naturally impossible for others to know about it." Yan Qing said calmly, "Besides, you have only been in the court for a short time, so it is impossible to cover everything and leave no trace at all."

Wen Jin slowly shook his head: "Incompetence is incompetence, there is no excuse."

Yan Qing hummed: "That's true."

Wen Jin took a gentle breath and brushed away the loneliness in his heart, not wanting to think about the past that made him heartbroken. "How long does Your Highness plan to stay in Suzaku City this time?"

"Not necessarily." Yan Qing thought about the current situation, and raised a mocking arc on his lips, "The situation is ever-changing, and my plan is not static."

With that said, she stretched out her hand to open the secret compartment and took out the candied fruit Ji Weiyu had prepared for her, "The reason why I know that Xiao Jamhan poisoned me is because I once had a dream."

Wen Jin lowered his eyes in silence.

"The dream is very long, lasting seven years." Yan Qing stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth. There was no resentment or hostility in his voice. He was as calm as if he was telling someone else's story. "The prophecy of the Lonely Star of Heavenly Evil" I don’t know who fulfilled it. No one close to me in the dream died. Instead, I suffered betrayal and separation from my relatives... Although the dream is a dream after all, I believe that the dream is the opposite. What do you think? "

Wen Jin lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone: "Yes, dreams are the opposite."

"So I should live well. Those who want me to die will definitely not die well in the end." Yan Qing raised his eyes and looked at Wen Jin, "Don't you think so?"

Wen Jin still nodded: "Yes."

All those who want her to die will definitely end badly.

Yan Qing's dark eyes fell on his face, with a thoughtful look in them.

For a long time, she sighed lightly and stopped talking.
