Chapter 25:
He Yunxiao looked at "Meng Qingqian" on the bed and then at "Meng Qingqian" in his arms, with a mischievous smile on his lips.
He looked down at Mengbao, whose face was flushed at this moment, and looked at the way she was leaning on her arms like a little bird. His hands were itchy and he couldn't help but pinch her pink cheeks.
Since Mengbao doesn't want me to know that she is Meng Qingqian, then I will help her and let her continue to be "Li Qingmeng".
"I thought those ministers boasted about how beautiful 'Meng Qingqian' is. But at this level, I don't think it's half as good-looking as my Mengbao."
He Yunxiao knew that every woman likes others to praise her beauty, but Mengbao is the type who especially likes to hear others praise her beauty.
He Yunxiao simply followed his fancy and kept saying "beautiful, beautiful, good-looking".
Meng Qingqian was very impressed by He Yunxiao's praise and narrowed her eyes happily, even though the guy just said it casually.
"By the way," Meng Qingqian remembered the business, "My cousin was suddenly poisoned and is now unconscious. I called you here just for her."
He Yunxiao pretended to be surprised: "Poisoned? Is it serious?"
Meng Qingqian shook her head and said: "It's not serious. The imperial doctor has been sent to detoxify. I called you here just to help you."
He Yunxiao lowered his head and rubbed Mengbao's cheek. Even though Mengbao's face was not fleshy, it was still very comfortable to rub. The quality of the heroine's skin is no joke, it is fair and tender, warm and smooth, as if leaning on a piece of extremely soft and moist white jade, the beauty of which is indescribable.
Meng Qingqian moved her body, pushed He Yunxiao, told him to restrain himself, and continued: "Now my cousin's guard force is concentrated around the coming-of-age ceremony in the back garden. I really can't spare anyone in Changhe Palace. On guard duty. He Yunxiao, aren’t you a ninth grader? Just help me once and stay here to watch over my cousin, okay?”
He Yunxiao secretly wanted to laugh. This Mengbao really deceived me like a fool. What's the use of guarding the coming-of-age ceremony? Emperor Yan was here to assassinate, not to massacre. If this was Zhen Xiaoyue, why wouldn't the guards be allowed to withdraw to protect her?
He Yunxiao thought for a while and said: "What if Xiaoyue was poisoned in advance? What should I do during the coming-of-age ceremony?"
Meng Qingqian had already thought of the words and said immediately: "I have thought about this. The Queen Mother and the others are aware of the plan to fake death. I just need to go to the ceremony to announce it. With their cooperation, the panic effect will not be bad. There are not enough high-level warriors now. I need you to stay here and help me protect my cousin, okay?"
He Yunxiao secretly laughed at his Mengbao.
Just now he said that he would ask the imperial doctor to detoxify him, and now he said that he would take advantage of the situation and fake his death. The caliber of the front and rear are not the same. Can I believe this? Do you really think I'm a fool?
etc! If she is willing to lie to me like this, she really thinks of me...
Cao!
Am I just an idiot in Mengbao's mind?
Although He Yunxiao complained a hundred times in his heart, he still had to do a good job on the surface.
"Okay. Meng Bao, you can go to the coming-of-age ceremony without worries. 'Meng Qingqian's' safety is with me."
When He Yunxiao promised not to go to the coming-of-age ceremony, Meng Qingqian immediately felt much more relaxed.
It was getting late, so she said quickly: "Without further ado, I'm going to the adult ceremony. You must protect 'Meng Qingqian' here, don't go out, don't run around."
"good."
Meng Qingqian went out with her front legs, and He Yunxiao followed her out with her back legs and watched from a distance.
When He Yunxiao saw Mengbao go out, he immediately changed rooms and went in. When he came out again, he was already dressed in red, showing indescribable nobility and arrogance.
He Yunxiao followed Li Qingmeng from a distance.
As a result, Mengbao was Meng Qingqian. He Yunxiao had already made up his mind, so it was no surprise that his promise to Mengbao to protect "Meng Qingqian" would definitely not be fulfilled.
But He Yunxiao didn't break his promise, after all, the one he wanted to protect was the real "Meng Qingqian".
Returning to his old position, He Yunxiao lay quietly on the tiles and looked around the entire back garden quietly.
Emperor Yan may have a back-up plan, but he must not be careless.
that is……
He Yunxiao looked at the November noon sun above his head, and then looked at the sumptuous lunch at the ceremony in the distance. He was indeed a little hungry.
For Mengbao! Hold it!
Time passes little by little.
At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally Sister Jiang's turn to perform the finale sword dance performance.
He Yunxiao was so far away that he could feel Sister Jiang's profound and solid dance skills. Her sword dance was soft yet strong, and she vividly interpreted the phrase "women are not inferior to men". The applause and cheers in the field became louder and louder.
For example, the famous spy of Yan Kingdom, Lu Liang, the minister of Honglu Temple.
"Okay!" Lu Liang cheered loudly as he watched Jiang Wuyou dance! He is one of the few high-level spies who knows about Jiang Wuyou's assassination plan. He knows very well that the special envoy's dance will be Dayan's first attack on Xiao Qi! Decades of spy career will finally come to an end when the Yan army conquers Yin Jing! How could this not be exciting?
Lu Liang was indeed a "famous" spy, at least Meng Qingqian remembered him. In the list of spies that Jiang Wuyou showed to Meng Qingqian, Lu Liang was at the top of the list as a third-grade minister. It was impossible not to remember it.
Meng Qingqian watched Jiang Wuyou dance and vaguely smelled a very faint scent of sandalwood in the air. Gradually, tiredness emerged from all parts of the body, and the energy throughout the body gradually disappeared.
Meng Qingqian looked back at the egret that had fallen down not far away, and then looked at the numerous plants in the back garden.
She remembered that her mother's birthday was also held here, and Jiang Wuyou also came to participate, but it was early spring, and the flowering plants in the back garden were not the same as this late autumn.
As for ordinary sandalwood, she had also smelled it, and she didn't feel so tired at ordinary times.
If, as He Yunxiao said, the sandalwood on Jiang Wuyou's body must be combined with other things unique to the November Palace to work, what would that be...
Forget it, why think about those things...
Before Meng Qingqian fell down, the figure of He Yunxiao flashed frequently in her mind. If he hadn't accidentally poisoned her in advance and tried to detoxify her, she would really fall to the hands of Emperor Yan this time. Perhaps not only herself, but the entire Qi State would fall to the hands of Emperor Yan...
Although Meng Qingqian's consciousness had not left, the remaining strength in her body was not enough to support her to sit upright, so she fell down on the table in front of her with a plop.
Li Gongqin, Huang Qinghe and other insiders were already prepared. Seeing His Highness Xiaoyue fall, they immediately stood up and shouted: "There is an assassin! Protect the emperor! Protect His Highness!"
As Meng Qingqian's confidant, Yang Zhe also knew about the "fake death" plan. He had been ready to go, waiting for His Highness to "fake death". This is a great opportunity to "save the beauty". If you grasp it well, you may succeed.
Just as Yang Zhe was about to perform, Jian Ling was one step ahead of him and hugged the exhausted Meng Qingqian in his arms.
"Commander Yang, bring the troops to protect His Highness and me back to the palace!"
