"Are you sure?" Ki Chien-chul expressed his doubts.
Wei Ziyao hurriedly swore, "Of course I'm sure."
"Hmph, I don't think you dare to lie to me." Ki Chien-chul said as he raised his head proudly. Wei Ziyao couldn't help but laugh at the side.
"Royal Highness, you're only three years old. That's all you can be."
They chatted and laughed along the way back. As soon as they entered the palace, they were informed that Qi Jianning had arrived.
Hearing this, Wei Ziyao knew that she was done for.
She still hadn't given her an answer after helping her talk to Feng Muyu.
Hearing that she was here, Wei Ziyao hurriedly walked inside. As soon as she entered the medicine garden, she heard her crying in the courtyard.
"What's wrong?"
"Ziyao … Imperial Father wants me to prepare for the marriage with Feng Muyu. He said that this is the best home for me. I don't think so, I …"
"How could that be?" Didn't Feng Muyu say that he would consider her suggestion?
Moreover, Wei Ziyao had already figured out the poison in his body.
Why did he suddenly put the marriage on the agenda?
Moreover, even if they really wanted to get married, the Northern Wen Emperor should have discussed it with her in advance.
"Ziyao … It's really like this. I don't want to."
Qi Jianning cried, "I know you've done your best. Imperial Father said that you've helped me beg for mercy and thought of many ways, but I really don't want to marry. I know that I shouldn't have come to you for this matter, but I can only come to you … Imperial Mother, she, she also wants me to marry."
Wei Ziyao's current position was very awkward. How should she put it …
She could understand the Emperor and Noble Consort Ji's thoughts.
After all, as a princess, it would be best if she could find a prince consort to live in the capital. She didn't have to travel thousands of miles for a political marriage, nor did she have to look at other people's faces.
However, she could also understand Qi Jianning. As a young girl who had just experienced her first awakening of love, of course she yearned for love.
The key problem was that she understood.
However, she still chose to help Qi Jianning.
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Give me poison, or make my health deteriorate."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Ziyao felt that this girl must be crazy.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. Actually … actually …" Qi Jianning lowered her head guiltily. "Actually, I've been secretly eating sweets for the past few days. But today, I thought that if I didn't tell you in advance, it might cause you trouble, so …"
"Idiot!" Wei Ziyao gritted her teeth. "I've already changed all the sugar in your palace. They're all xylitol and the like. Why the hell are you eating it?"
Ever since the incident with Ruier, Wei Ziyao had been extra cautious. She even secretly turned some of the people in Qi Jianning's palace into her people. She was afraid that someone would harm Qi Jianning again.
"Ah?" Qi Jianning was surprised at first, then moved, and tears fell down.
"I'm sorry, Ziyao. You care about me so much, and I don't cherish my body. But I really … really don't want to marry."
Something was wrong … Wei Ziyao felt that something was wrong.
If she really didn't want to marry, she wouldn't be so stubborn.
She seemed to have found out something big.
"Jianning, you don't want to marry so much … Is it because you have someone in your heart?"
"Ah!?" Qi Jianning panicked when she heard this, and her face turned red.
Red, red, red.
That's it!
"Jianning, you have someone in your heart? Who is it? "
Wei Ziyao asked directly. Qi Jianning blushed and stammered.
"If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to, then don't. Don't worry, as long as you don't want to marry, I have ways to make you not marry. If Feng Muyu is willing to cooperate, then this matter can be solved openly. If he's not willing to cooperate, then I have other ways as well.
Actually, she and Ki Chien-chul had always felt that Feng Muyu's secret was definitely not that simple.
They just didn't want to dig into other people's secrets.
Just as they were chatting, Luo Yichen came.
He came a little hurriedly. "Miss, you're not asleep yet. I have something urgent to report to you."
"Speak." Wei Ziyao nodded.
"Previously, when His Highness was killed, our people have been investigating this matter. Now, we've found some clues."
"You've found it? Speak. "This matter had indeed been investigated. Originally, they had already given up hope, but now they had found it.
"You should remember that His Highness's right-hand man went missing in that assassination, right? That guard has been with His Highness since he was young. No one has ever doubted his loyalty. However, recently, our people found traces of him in Qingyan State. "
"You mean … Tu Jie?" Wei Ziyao still remembered that person.
"Yes. According to the report, he just arrived in Qingyan State not long ago. Now that he has bought a piece of land there, he's living quite well. It's obvious that he intends to live in seclusion."
"It seems that he might have really gone into seclusion after receiving the money. However, Qingyan State is South Jin's territory. If we go and capture him and make a big fuss, I'm afraid it will affect the harmony between the two countries."
Wei Ziyao's worries were not unfounded.
"Then why don't I …" At this point, Luo Yichen glanced at Qi Jianning and did not continue. Instead, he changed the topic. "Why don't Hong Hao and I go and secretly bring her back?"
"Tu Jie is quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed by His Highness's side for so long. At the very least, he must be very good at anti-reconnaissance. Ordinary people who have not received training in this aspect are probably not his match. If we alert him, it will be even harder to capture him. This matter can only be handled by professionals. Most importantly, the professionals are all from the military camp. If we use soldiers for this matter … the situation will change."
Therefore, Tu Jie had hidden himself in South Jin for some reason.
Now that Northern Qin and South Jin had just become allies through marriage, Wei Heng and South Jin had been fighting for so many years.
Now that things had finally calmed down, if they really sent people from the military camp, they might be seen as a provocation and start a war again.
Qi Jianning, who was standing at the side, had an idea.
"Aren't Wen Wan and her brother still in Sheng Capital? Can't we just discuss it with them? I heard that His Highness is injured and can't move below his neck. He has been rejected many times when he went to seek medical treatment. What if Guo Guoyao agrees to treat his illness? "
"…" If Qi Jianning knew that she was the one who caused that guy to be paralyzed, would she be traumatized?
"That's the only way. Since Wen Qian is still in Sheng Capital, this matter can be discussed. I'll go look for him tomorrow," Ki Chien-chul said.
"You!?" Wei Ziyao looked at Wen Qian in disbelief. "If you go, how can it be discussed? He'll probably refuse to agree no matter what, right? "
"Don't worry. There are no eternal enemies in this world. Wen Qian is a smart person. He'll agree."
In the end, Wei Ziyao did not ask Ki Chien-chul how he planned to deal with Wen Qian.
