Chapter 165 The Growing Male Protagonist
Yu Qingfeng only felt that these two grown men were as childish as kindergarten children. Even in this situation, they still wanted to save face, and neither of them wanted to talk to the other first.
But this is normal. Pei Wuyan is the screenwriter, and Qi Jinglin is Pei Wuyan’s fictional male protagonist. There must be some shadow of Pei Wuyan.
Yu Qingfeng patted Pei Wuyan on the shoulder and hinted meaningfully: "Why are you angry with your own people?"
Pei Wuyan smiled bitterly, "One of our own? I didn't expect that His Highness would become indifferent to right and wrong because of the princess's affairs."
"You don't distinguish between right and wrong?" Qi Jinglin also got excited, "Yaoer is my biological sister, the person I am closest to and the person I care about most. Just like Yu Sizhi treats you. If Yu Sizhi also makes a mistake, I will deal with it impartially.
She, what will you do?"
Pei Wuyan's anger was completely aroused, "Qingfeng will not make the heinous mistake of Qi Yao! I don't allow you to compare them!"
Yu Qingfeng didn't like to hear Qi Jinglin's words either, but it was more important to appease Pei Wuyan right now.
"Okay, okay, Your Highness, isn't it time to calm down? You should calm down after being reduced to such a state."
Qi Jinglin didn't like hearing what Yu Qingfeng said either. Just when he was about to get angry, Wang Gonggong interrupted with a smile.
"Oh, oh, you are young and energetic after all. But this is not the place to quarrel, is it? In this way, the two nobles will remember this account separately, and when the time comes in the future, it will not be too late to have a fight together."
Yu Qingfeng hurriedly agreed, "That's right, there's a long way to go. We'll calculate the general ledger later. Now let's get down to business. Eunuch Wang, what's going on?"
"Well, that day, the Imperial Preceptor came to the East Palace with his attendants to ask for an audience with His Highness, saying that there was something fishy about Princess Pingyao's case. His Highness naturally wanted to see me when he heard that. The Imperial Preceptor sent someone to take me away. When I woke up again,
Already behind bars." Wang Gonggong said, shaking his head and sighing.
Pei Wuyan snorted coldly, "Believe in the Imperial Master, but don't believe in me."
Yu Qingfeng quickly grabbed Pei Wuyan's hand and whispered: "Aren't you the same? In order to meet that impostor, you made the same excuse. This is His Highness's weakness, and it must be taken advantage of."
Pei Wuyan held Yu Qingfeng's hand, his expression softened, and he obviously liked Yu Qingfeng's tricks.
Qi Jinglin looked embarrassed, lowering his head and not looking at Pei Wuyan, "I drank the tea presented by the Imperial Master and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was like looking into a mirror and saw another version of myself! The Imperial Master accused me
He intended to pretend to be the prince and imprison me in the East Palace, under the pretext of interrogation, so that the counterfeit could learn my speech and behavior every day."
"Huh, I told him a long time ago, be careful of the Imperial Preceptor, be careful of the Imperial Preceptor, the Imperial Preceptor is his biggest enemy. He actually drinks tea offered by the enemy." Pei Wuyan was too lazy to face Qi Jinglin, and lost his temper to Yu Qingfeng.
Feeling incomprehensible and angry.
"We are our own people, our own people." Yu Qingfeng reassured and emphasized in a low voice, "Growth type, growth type. Don't be angry."
Qi Jinglin grabbed the prince and said to him angrily and remorsefully, "Don't I know that the Imperial Master is dangerous? But he said that Yao'er's case was fishy and there was an inside story. Maybe Yao'er was framed. I
How to refuse?"
The prince turned his head and looked at Yu Qingfeng helplessly.
Yu Qingfeng smiled twice at the prince to show her understanding.
"It's useless to talk more. What's important now is how to return to the East Palace and regain the position of crown prince." Pei Wuyan took a deep breath and tried hard to adjust and regain his senses, but he still didn't look at Qi Jinglin.
Qi Jinglin's eyes were firm and he only faced the prince, "I won't go back."
Yu Qingfeng almost doubted her own ears, and asked in surprise before Pei Wuyan: "What? Not going back? Why?"
"I'm going to find Min Rong. I heard that she was taken to the Great Dian Kingdom by the envoy, and I don't know what her situation is now. I have to rescue her!" Qi Jinglin let go of the prince, grabbed Yu Qingfeng's shoulders, and said,
Shake it vigorously to express his determination.
Pei Wuyan grabbed Qi Jinglin's arm, pushed him away, pulled Yu Qingfeng back to him, and finally faced Qi Jinglin head-on, but he asked unceremoniously: "Your Highness wants to go to the Great Dian Kingdom, so why haven't you started yet?"
Are you hiding in the secret room of Yizhuang and stealing offerings from ghosts to survive?"
Qi Jinglin was speechless, his face was tense, and he glared at Pei Wuyan.
"Oh Lord Pei, there are pursuers everywhere outside. We are alone, how dare we show up rashly?" Wang Gonggong hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "His Highness wants to wait for you to come and discuss rescue matters with you."
"Oh, Your Highness wants to order me, a minister, to go to the Kingdom of Dadian to save people?"
"No, I want you to help me elope with Minrong. The Peacock Flying Southeast is the story you told me. Instead of being immersed in all kinds of intrigues and battles for imperial power, it is better to go far away and be free with the one you love.
"
Pei Wuyan was shocked at first, but then he realized that there was nothing to be shocked about. He should be the person who knew Qi Jinglin best. This love-minded male protagonist had no intention of being Machiavellian. He was just a leisurely wanderer who didn't love the country and loved beauty and freedom.
"No." Yu Qingfeng took advantage of Pei Wuyan's daze to make the decision first, "You must go back to be your prince, defeat the imperial master, and take back your kingdom and beauty."
"Why? I don't want to be the crown prince. Naturally, the eighth prince, Prince Xun, can take over. It's not like the Great Yongjiang Mountain will perish without me."
Yes, Dayong Jiangshan can do without Qi Jinglin, but Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan cannot let the plot be rewritten. If one of the two dramas does not end perfectly, they will probably never get out.
"You must go back." Pei Wuyan gave the order to the prince without any doubts.
"Why?" Qi Jinglin was dissatisfied.
"Because the people of Dayong will be blessed only if they are handed over to you. If you escape and the national preceptor takes control of the court and directs the country, Dayong will fall into the hands of careerists, who will not care about the lives of the people...
"
"Are you kidding me? With my father and the eighth prince here, how can the Imperial Master still conspire to seize the throne?"
"Yes. Have you forgotten again? I said that the National Preceptor is your biggest enemy, and his purpose is to take away the country that should belong to you. You may not care about Dayong's national destiny or the life and death of the people, but don't forget
Well, if you elope with Cheng Minrong, you two are also subjects of Dayong. Under the rule of the Imperial Master, even if you want to remain anonymous and want to be free and happy, it is just wishful thinking. No eggs will be left intact after the nest is overturned!"
Seeing that Qi Jinglin was a little shaken, Yu Qingfeng hurriedly helped to persuade, "Your Highness, I and Wuyan can vouch for your moral character. Only by allowing a benevolent king like you to ascend the throne will the people of this country be blessed.
"In the past year or so, Mr. Pei and I have traveled to many places to handle cases, and we have met many kinds of corrupt officials and bullies who prey on the common people. Although we have tried our best to restore the truth and bring down these corrupt officials in high positions, we
Our power is always limited. We pulled them down one by one, but someone helped them up one after another.
"Only when a benevolent and wise king ascends the throne, revitalizes the court, rectifies the officialdom, and formulates laws to govern the country that are more beneficial to the people, will the world be blessed. I am also a woman, and women like a man who has the courage to take responsibility, rather than evade responsibilities.
A sparrow who only cares about her children."
Qi Jinglin was moved by Yu Qingfeng's passionate remarks and lowered his head in shame, but he was still worried and muttered in a low voice: "But what about Minrong? I can't abandon her for the sake of my responsibility."
Pei Wuyan calmed down the weird anger just now and showed the sincerity between friends, "Who told you to abandon her? Isn't it just to go to Da Dian Country to bring her back? We took care of this little thing for you. What you have to do now
I just want to go back, regain my position as Crown Prince, and fight the Imperial Master to the end."
Qi Jinglin finally raised his head and looked directly into Pei Wuyan's eyes, "Really? You, are you still willing to help me?"
"If you didn't want to, you wouldn't be here." Pei Wuyan pointed at the surroundings in disgust.
"That's great, that's great," the prince beamed with joy, "Master Pei, His Highness has been telling the Za family these days that you will definitely come, you will definitely come. As expected, Your Highness knows you best."
Pei Wuyan laughed dryly and pointed at the two guards' costumes on the altar, "Change into your clothes and pretend to be a Dali Temple guard first, then come back to Dali Temple with us."
"Then what?" Qi Jinglin asked, "When are you going to save Minrong?"
"After settling you down, we will set off naturally. Don't worry, Cheng Minrong is blessed with good health and will not die so easily."
After Pei Wuyan finished speaking, he pulled Yu Qingfeng out of the door.
"Master Pei, this is..." Four guards came over, all with solemn expressions.
You can't hide anything. Pei Wuyan decided to bring them here and he had no intention of hiding it. He simply confessed: "Yes, the people inside are none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eunuch Wang."
"How could it be? Isn't His Highness in the East Palace? Isn't the prince already..."
Pei Wuyan smiled bitterly, "Since the prince is not dead, it means that all this is an illusion created by intentional people, and the one in the East Palace is a fake."
"Then, Mr. Pei, what are your plans..."
Pei Wuyan glanced at the four guards warily, "We have to go back to Dali Temple to discuss this matter in the long run. We have to discuss it with those two."
As soon as Qi Jinglin and Wang Gonggong went out, four guards knelt down and saluted.
"You four must not do this again," Pei Wuyan raised his hand to signal them to stand up quickly. "We announced to the public that we have found two more separated guards, fellow guards, understand? It's been a long night and we will set off back to the capital tomorrow afternoon.
"
The six of them went all the way back to the guest room of the county government office. Yu Qingfeng deliberately stayed at the end and winked at the prince.
Wang Gonggong fell a few steps behind and came to Yu Qingfeng's side.
"Your Majesty," Yu Qingfeng turned her head and whispered softly, "there are elaborate works in the East Palace, and Dali Temple is not immune. The six of you will spend the night together tonight. You must always be vigilant to protect the safety of the prince."
The prince had an epiphany and subconsciously looked at the four guards in front of him. He quickly looked away and nodded to Yu Qingfeng.
Almost spinning, once all the tasks are completed, fatigue will suddenly hit. Yu Qingfeng fell on the bed as soon as she entered the room.
Take a thorough bath and wash away all the Yizhuang smell and leave it to tomorrow.
Of course, there is no time now to worry about who should leave the only bed. Anyway, the relationship has been confirmed, and it is not the first time to share a bed, so there is no need to be pretentious.
Yu Qingfeng left his place for Pei Wuyan.
Pei Wuyan lay beside Yu Qingfeng naturally.
The two of them lay on their backs, both looking at the bed curtain above.
"I miss the feather chandelier in my bedroom so much." Yu Qingfeng's eyelids twitched, and she vaguely seemed to actually see her feather chandelier.
Pei Wuyan held Yu Qingfeng's hand and declared firmly: "We will definitely go back."
"What if I can't go back?" Yu Qingfeng has been avoiding this problem. Now that she has an alliance, she finally has the courage to think about this problem.
