Chapter 493 Regent, please stay (41)
The sound of music playing downstairs seemed to be intentional. This piece of music was extremely long, and the music covered up the conversation next door, like a natural protection.
Yun Qian glanced out the door with resentful eyes, and then turned back as Yan Xu gently pinched her chin.
"I know, Morrowind told me."
"Originally, I wanted to come over to see if I could catch them, but I didn't expect that someone was here, and... hugged me on both sides?"
The last note of "Yanxu" rose slightly, and Yun Qian immediately stood up straight: "Oh, then I can't order some men to come, don't you think so?"
Yanxu: "..."
The tone is quite reasonable.
Seeing the face of the person in front of him getting darker and darker, Yun Qian suppressed a smile and decided not to talk nonsense with his eyes open.
"I know I was wrong. I won't do it next time." Yun Qian hooked Yanxu's hand and shook it gently.
Yanxu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Next time?"
Yun Qian instantly raised three fingers and said sincerely, "There won't be a next time."
The sly smile in the girl's eyes made Yanxu lose his temper, and he raised his hand to pinch Yun Qian's face.
Since ancient times, ladies have come to brothels to catch their husbands, but when it comes to Yun Qian and Yanxu, it's actually the other way around.
The brothel is noisy, and it is indeed a very suitable place to convey news. If you want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations in the private room, you will have to be shaken by the sound of music playing downstairs.
Since there was no way to know what was being said next door, Yan Xu and Yun Qian left first, leaving Chen Feng here to observe Prime Minister Liu's whereabouts.
---
Back at the Regent's Mansion, Yun Qian followed Yan Xu into the study. There were only a lot more books on the desk than before.
There are also fluctuations and difficulties in peaceful and prosperous times. At this time, there must always be a strategy that takes into account the overall situation.
"I entered the palace yesterday. The Queen Mother and the Ministry of Rites were discussing matters related to the ceremony of conferring the queen. They should be preparing to confer the queen." Yanxu sat in front of the desk, let Yun Qian sit on his lap, and held Yun Qian in his arms. waist, the voice is a bit lazy.
Yun Qian was originally looking through the booklets, and she was always allowed to read them at will, and she did not shy away from them.
She turned around when she heard this: "Decided on the candidate for the queen so quickly?"
Yanxu shook his head, "I'm just preparing for the ceremony, and I'm not sure yet who the specific candidate will be."
"I heard from the father-in-law next to the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother wanted to make Concubine Lu the queen, but the emperor wanted to make Concubine Liu the queen, and the two of them had a bad time because of this."
Yun Qian tilted his head, "Yes, it's quite difficult to choose between the parents' orders to be a matchmaker and the woman I really like."
Yanxu smiled lazily, "I don't have to worry about this problem."
"Huh? Why?" Yun Qian asked.
"Because you are the only one who can sit in the position of regent and princess, and no one will interfere with us."
The regent is always calm and calm, but Yan Xu's youthful spirit will always show up at some times, such as the straightforward way he speaks now and the uninhibited flair between his eyebrows.
Yun Qian looked at Yanxu for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, you mean what you say?"
"When did I lie to you?"
The two of them usually address each other as "you and me" when they are together. Occasionally, they will address each other seriously, "Your Highness, I am the King", which can be regarded as a different kind of interest.
Yun Qian leaned back into Yanxu's arms, sighed comfortably, and continued to chat with Yanxu about what he had just said.
"Prime Minister Liu seems to be quite anxious to make his daughter a queen as soon as possible." Yun Qian thought of the brief conversation he heard in the brothel not long ago.
The decline of Yun Mansion in the previous life began when Liu Xuan became queen.
Yun Qian's first thought was to prevent Liu Xuan from becoming the queen, so that Prime Minister Liu would have less help. Now that the Queen Mother is also opposed to Liu Xuan becoming the queen, Yun Qian no longer needs to worry about this matter.
And there is Prime Minister Liu.
Prime Minister Liu is a cunning and cunning person who is very cautious and will usually leave no evidence of what he has done. However, no matter how careful a person is, there will be times when he makes omissions, and Yun Qian is waiting for that time of omission.
Now Yun's father occasionally talks to Yun Qian about matters in the DPRK, and Yun Qian's understanding of things in the DPRK is no longer narrow.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Yun Qian still needs to collect more evidence of Prime Minister Liu's private crimes.
Yanxu chuckled, "He really hopes that after his daughter becomes the queen, he will be able to walk around in the palace."
Yun Qian glanced across the other books and picked one out of them, "If this is really the case, I can't fulfill his wish."
Yun Qian seemed to be particularly repelled by Prime Minister Liu and his family. Yanxu didn't ask why, and secretly helped Yun Qian conduct some investigations. He also sent some of his secret guards for Yun Qian's use.
No need to understand why, he can also make Yun Qian's sword, Yanxu thought.
.........
Life was uneventful for a period of time after that, but only those who were in it could know whether there was a turbulent undercurrent hidden under the calm water.
Soon, a hole was opened in his peaceful life, and unexpected news came to Yun Qian.
Concubine Liu was assassinated yesterday. Fortunately, the palace maids and guards arrived in time and did not catch the assassin, but they saved Concubine Liu's life.
When Yun Qian learned the news, she was still reading the storybook leisurely. The prototype of the male protagonist in the storybook was His Royal Highness the Regent.
Yanxu came back from the palace, his face as calm as ever.
Yun Qian raised his head and followed Yan Xu with his eyes, "Is it because I'm so anxious to summon you to the palace because of the assassination of Concubine Liu Guifei last night?"
Yanxu raised his eyebrows, "Exactly, how do you know?"
"It has been spread outside, and there are various versions. Some say that he is in danger, and some say that he is only slightly injured." Yun Qian said.
Yanxu smiled and said, "If this continues, there will probably be no more people."
"Concubine Liu is fine. It's just that the guard protecting her was slightly injured. The emperor called me into the palace because he suspected that it was Shadow Killer again."
Yun Qian closed the notebook, "So?"
"It didn't leave any traces. It's a bit like Shadow Killer's style, but..." Yan Xu did not continue.
Needless to say, Yun Qian also understood.
Prime Minister Liu was cooperating with Killing Shadow, but during the cooperation, he assassinated the partner's daughter.
This is a bit strange and contradictory.
