Chapter 450 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
Zhou Youning didn't know what happened in these few short breaths.
He just looked at Qi Changchuan with fear and disdain, angry at why he came here, and then suddenly noticed something strange beside him, turned his head and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Lili, why are you crying?"
Shi Li subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and cold tears indeed flowed out.
She did not cry when she was tied into the palace, and she did not cry when she was forced to kneel by the Empress Dowager's men.
But now that I remembered everything and looked at the young man who had changed beyond recognition, the grievance in my heart could no longer be suppressed and turned into a silent tear.
A tear, two people at a loss.
In Zhou Youning's eyes, Shi Li was always happy no matter what time it was. The first time he saw her like this, he felt terrible.
Even more exaggerated than her is Qi Changchuan.
He was still unconsciously recalling the past, but when he saw Shi Li crying, his aura changed.
He took a step forward, frowned and asked, "Who disrespects you?"
Anyone who is a little familiar with the situation knows that if Shi Li mentions a name at this time, that person will suffer a serious crime, without exception.
A love-brain won't reason with you.
Shi Li raised her head and looked at Qi Changchuan silently.
If she hadn't thought about the past, Shi Li would have thought that she had offended the general. But now, she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
In the end, she could only reach out and wipe the corners of her crystal clear eyes, and looked at Qi Changchuan with a smile.
“No one is disrespectful to me.”
The two looked at each other silently.
Zhou Youning looked at it again and again, and suddenly felt that he was redundant.
My heart suddenly felt sore and I silently pulled up my sleeves.
Just as I was about to say something, fireworks bloomed one after another in the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Shi Li brushed back the hair on her forehead that was blown by the wind, took a step forward, and looked intently at the fireworks flashing in the sky.
"This year's fireworks are particularly beautiful."
The night wind brought her voice slowly, as gentle as the clouds in the sky.
Qi Changchuan stood behind him, dressed in moonlight, silent and gentle, completely different from his usual cold-faced devil.
One blue and one black.
One after the other.
Surprisingly harmonious.
Zhou Youning continued to pull at his sleeves, his voice filled with helpless resentment, "I clearly didn't arrange so many fireworks..."
Climbing up the Lu Tower and watching the fireworks, the Empress Dowager had a truly fulfilling year.
Late at night, she turned around, held Zhou Youning's hand and went back to the palace. When she passed by Qi Changchuan, she smiled at him.
"It's late at night and cold, be careful on your way back."
This smile directly kept someone awake all night.
The next day, the subordinates delivered the testimony given by the Princess of the Western Regions to Qi Changchuan's study.
"General, the Barbarian King of the Western Regions has arranged spies in the imperial capital. One of them sneaked into the residence of the Grand Tutor and heard some rumors."
The subordinate held a stack of testimonies from the Princess of the Western Regions in his hands and looked at Qi Changchuan cautiously.
Originally, the target of the assassination by the Princess of the Western Regions was indeed Zhou Chenghao.
Before taking action, he received a secret order from the Barbarian King, saying that the Queen Mother was very important to Qi Changchuan, the mainstay of the Xian Dynasty, so he temporarily changed the target of the assassination.
The subordinate placed the Western Princess's testimony on a corner of the table and looked at Qi Changchuan worriedly.
Qi Changchuan didn't say anything. He raised his hand to open the testimony and read ten lines at a glance.
Finally, a familiar cold expression appeared on his face.
"We are still waiting for the general's approval on how to arrange things with the envoys from the Western Regions." The subordinate handed over another document.
The Western Regions had been suppressed by the Xian Dynasty before and could not raise their heads. Now they dare to assassinate the Queen Mother. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, they should consider the consequences themselves.
Qi Changchuan looked at the long lines in the document, his face still expressionless.
According to his opinion, they should send troops directly to the Western Regions, have the cavalry destroy the Western Regions palace and chop off the head of the barbarian king.
However, other people in the court did not think the same as he did.
After a long silence, Qi Changchuan finally picked up the pen and stamped at the bottom of the document.
The subordinate took the document and left respectfully.
Qi Changchuan was left alone in the study, all he could see was Shi Li's smile to him and the words she said last night.
She still missed him.
An expression that could be described as dreamy appeared on the Iron-Blooded General's face.
dong dong dong-
There was a knock on the study door, and the subordinate came back holding the document.
Meeting Qi Changchuan's cold gaze, the subordinate opened the document with a complicated expression, turned to the page he had just written and printed, and placed it in front of him silently.
The man with the vermilion lacquer and red seal is indeed General Qi, but unfortunately his name is two different characters.
After Qi Changchuan looked carefully at what he had written, his expression finally changed.
What he wrote was - Lili.
General Qi's half-life of wisdom was ruined in one day...
