Assassin Couple Survival Online
Chapter 23
The palace is full of joy these days, everywhere is being refurbished, and the servants are busy, making it look like Chinese New Year.
While standing guard, someone happened to be setting things up in front of him. Curious, Jing Zhao asked Yu Lie, "Is there any festival in the palace recently? Why is it so grand?"
Yu Lie said: "After the Beginning of Autumn is the Queen's birthday."
"Do you remember the Queen's birthday so well?" Jing Zhao's little brain went astray.
Yu Lie looked at him amusedly, "It's also His Highness's birthday."
"Oh...that is indeed a big day." Jing Zhao nodded thoughtfully.
"Now these arrangements and preparations have nothing to do with us, but it will be a lot of work to be on duty all day on the birthday."
When Yu Lie thought that in the past few years, as long as there was a big day in the palace, he would always be on duty all night, he felt a headache.
The Empress and His Highness happen to have the same birthday, and both of them are the most important people in the Emperor's heart. This birthday is almost as important as the Spring Festival.
Jing Zhao asked again, "What about your birthday? When is it?"
"Mine?" Yu Lie had never been asked this question before, so he shook his head for a while, "I don't have a date of birth, and I was discarded when I was born. I raised it."
Jing Zhao was slightly stunned, no wonder Yu Lie was so kind to his adoptive father, he was abandoned before, so he would definitely cherish the person who is willing to support him even more.
He smiled, not to make the atmosphere awkward, "Don't you even know the month?"
Yulie thought for a while, "My adoptive father told me that it was deep winter when he picked me up, and it was raining heavily that night, which froze him enough. After returning home, he was very impressed, so he named me Yulie."
Jing Zhao burst out laughing, Yu Lie was so stern, and glared at him, Jing Zhao held back his smile and said, "As expected of the leader of the pavilion, the name is too random! According to this calculation, you should be in Dongyue or Twelfth Moon. born."
"So what if you know, it's okay anyway." Yu Lie glanced over, "What about you? Do you know your birthday?"
"Coincidentally, neither do I."
Yu Lie nodded, he shouldn't have asked, and it wasn't unexpected.
Jing Zhao said: "As far as I can remember, the earliest memory is that I was sold to Fengqing City several times by human traffickers. So I don't know where I came from or when I was born. Maybe my age is not counted. It's more than sixteen."
Yu Lie raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, "With your face, people with a discerning eye can see that you are half a child, and you haven't grown up. You have the nerve to say that you are big."
"You can't let me be self-satisfied, I'm not happy to be treated like a child by you every day!" Jing Zhao grimaced at Yu Lie.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that you were born in March." Yulie looked at him and said.
Jing Zhao felt that he was about to fall into Yu Lie's eyes, and he muttered in bewilderment, "Why..."
"March is the warmest month."
On the night of the birthday, the palace was brightly lit and a feast was laid out.This is not a family banquet, Nanqing also invited several veteran officials to the banquet.
Singing and dancing performances, drinking orders, had a great time.
The seats of Yu Lie and Jing Zhao were just behind the two important ministers, Jiang Baili and Chi Kun.The head of a military officer and the head of a civil servant are all veterans who have assisted Nanqing for more than 20 years. When they sat together, the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
There was a beautiful song and dance performance in the arena, Chi Kun smiled with satisfaction, Jiang Baili saw this and disrupted the stage: "I don't know which of these beauties was prepared by brother Chi, I didn't even catch your majesty's eyes Well."
Chi Kun responded nonchalantly: "I don't know that my sister has been in the harem for many years, but has she ever been favored by His Majesty for a while?"
Jiang Baili snorted coldly, "I said that if you want to look for it, at least find someone who is more beautiful than the queen. These dancing girls are so skinny, and their faces are so white. They look like ghosts at night. How can your majesty look at it?" I like it."
"Hey you old man, don't look at it if you don't know how to appreciate it, I think it's very beautiful."
……
The two argued about the beauty of the dancing girl in the arena, she didn't look like an important court official at all.They pinched each other when they met, both in court and in private.
Jing Zhao looked at it from behind and wanted to laugh. He didn't know that the two people's quarrel was so interesting.Blowing his beard and staring, he pulled other innocent ministers over to judge which dancer was more beautiful. In the end, he felt unsatisfied and judged the dishes on the table. One said it was so delicious, and the other said it was delicious, but they had to fight against each other.
After a while, Nan Jiyang, who was sitting on a high place, got tired of watching, and got up to go somewhere else with a prince of his age.
Seeing this, Jiang Baili raised his hand to signal his subordinates to follow up with others to protect His Highness' safety.
Chi Kun drank a glass of wine and said, "The future of the royal family is worrying, worrying."
Jiang Baili nodded beside him, agreeing with Chi Kun's statement for the first time tonight.
Yu Lie knew that the ministers in the court and central government were generally dissatisfied with Nan Jiyang, so he tried his best to persuade Nan Jiyang to have a son, while holding on to Nan Jiyang's shortcomings and impeaching him, but Nan Qing didn't pay much attention to it, and it didn't hurt. One pass of itching and punishment is over.
He didn't expect that the dissatisfaction of the ministers had reached this point, and they were still speaking at the banquet, not afraid of the emperor hearing it.
……
On the second night after the birthday banquet, Yu Lie had already gone to bed, but Jing Zhao never came back, probably something delayed him.
Yu Lie was sleepy from waiting, and when he half-closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly shaken awake.
"It's raining heavily, wake up." Jing Zhao called him.
He opened his eyes to look at Jing Zhao, and Jing Zhao pulled him out.
Jing Zhao said nervously, "Your Majesty is missing."
"What?" Yu Lie woke up instantly, and his first instinct was that this was fake news.
Jing Zhao spoke quickly, and hurriedly said, "The news from His Majesty's bedroom is absolutely true. There is a mess in the inner palace now. I have asked someone to pass the news back and tell the ten elders."
Yu Lie asked, "Why did he disappear suddenly? Did he go somewhere alone and his servants didn't follow him?"
"No," Jing Zhao shook his head, "His Majesty's personal maid watched him go to bed, and was found sleeping at the door of the bedroom, and the people in the hall had disappeared."
"Is there still someone kidnapping the emperor these days?" Yu Lie was incredulous, "The matter is very important, why don't I go back."
Jing Zhao pulled him back, "I can't go back now, you forgot that His Majesty is missing, the inner palace is already in chaos, and you will come to our place soon, when you disappear for no reason, wouldn't you be a big suspect?"
Jing Zhao said again: "If there is any news in the pavilion, the ten elders will send someone in, so let's stand still for now."
At the critical moment, Jing Zhao's mind turned quickly, and Yu Lie nodded in agreement.
A generation of emperors suddenly lost their people, not only would the palace be in chaos, but even the whole country would be stirred up into chaos.
Sure enough, in an instant, the palace was full of voices, and all the guards shouted and were dispatched to various places to search.
In the team, Jing Zhao asked Yu Lie in a low voice worriedly, "Won't that secret passage be found out?"
"No, it's very hidden there," Yulie said.
"Oh, really, I'm so sleepy." Jing Zhao complained, counting the banquet the night before, he hadn't slept well for two days, and his eyes were sore from sleepiness.
Yu Lie patted him on the back, "Who told our emperor to disappear when he said he was missing?"
At dawn the next day, all the guards finally searched the palace without finding any trace of Nan Qing.Jiang Baili, as the commander of the Yuanhui army, was guilty of dereliction of duty, so he ordered the guards to run around and not let them rest.
It wasn't until noon that the first team had the last shift to take a break, and they were off duty to go to have a meal.
Seeing Jing Zhao's listless look, Yu Lie took him by the shoulders and took him back to the dormitory yard, "Don't eat for now, the tenth elder gave you the medicine to replenish lean blood, take one and sleep for a while."
Jing Zhao yawned greatly, "Okay."
When they were about to reach the gate of the courtyard, a little maid suddenly rushed out from the side of the road, stopped a step in front of them, handed Jing Zhao a note, and left in a hurry.
Yu Lie recognized her, she was the queen's secret agent, so that person naturally knew Yu Lie, so he sent the letter to Jing Zhao in front of him.
Jing Zhao was about to open the note, but was blocked by Yu Lie, who looked up suspiciously.
Yu Lie took the note away from his hand, "Go back first."
Jing Zhao didn't close his eyes for a long time, and he was the one who was running around when the incident happened last night. After being in charge of the palace intelligence, he happened to catch up with such a big event, and Yu Lie was afraid that he would be tired.
Jing Zhao went back to the dormitory obediently, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and still couldn't forget: "Then what is written on it..."
Yu Lie found a small box in his package, opened it, took two pills and stuffed them into Jing Zhao's hands.
"Chew first."
He also took two pills himself, then lay down, unfolded the note, closed it, and closed his eyes.
"The note said the queen had been up all night reading a book."
"A book?" Hearing this, Jing Zhao changed from prone to lying on his side, "She must have discovered something."
"Well, maybe." Yulie said softly, "Don't think about it, go to bed first."
The sun was shining brightly, but it didn't affect their rest at all. Jing Zhao fell asleep after a while.
Yu Lie was half asleep and half awake remembering the time, and after about a stick of incense, he sat up.
"Get up and return to the team." He patted Jing Zhao.
Jing Zhao didn't want to get up, Yu Lie said, "I'm leaving?"
"Hey! Don't!" Jing Zhao jumped out of bed, saw Yu Lie leaning against the door frame waiting for him, and immediately walked over.
Yu Lie gave Jing Zhao the note just now, "Leave this news for now, and wait for another hour to see if the maid can know what the book is."
"Okay, if not, I'll send it back."
The two returned to the team in a hurry, but it was still a bit late. Li Qingzong pointed at them from afar, his eyes widened. Jing Zhao ran over and said with a playful smile, "My lord, my subordinates made a mistake. I just went to the toilet."
Li Qingzong gave him a contemptuous look, "Quickly line up!"
He glared at Jing Zhao's back, then turned his head to look at Yu Lie, who said, "Toilet."
Li Qingzong slapped Yu Lie on the back, "Align!"
The slap didn't hurt, and when Yu Lie walked to the end of the line, Jing Zhao immediately came up to him, "Do you know why you got a slap? I was wrong if I missed a sentence, my lord."
Yu Lie pursed his lips and gave a small smile, "Say more for me in the future."
"I don't." Jing Zhao stared at Yu Lie's smiling face, almost being tricked by him.
While standing guard, someone happened to be setting things up in front of him. Curious, Jing Zhao asked Yu Lie, "Is there any festival in the palace recently? Why is it so grand?"
Yu Lie said: "After the Beginning of Autumn is the Queen's birthday."
"Do you remember the Queen's birthday so well?" Jing Zhao's little brain went astray.
