Little embroiderer from the General's Mansion
Chapter 22 will be posted later.
, a little excited: "But Congxin's age?"
The dog nodded: "Exactly."
Shan Jihe and the others looked at each other, a little shocked.
After searching for so long, I'm afraid the old maid has been in the capital all the time?
"Hurry up and take me to have a look!" Ji Yaoyun said before going out.
The dog hesitated for a moment, and called out to Ji Yaoyun in a low voice: "My lord... at this hour, my mother-in-law went to the temple outside the city, and she won't be back until noon tomorrow."
Ji Yaoyun stopped, holding back the joy in his heart.
"Then we'll go tomorrow." Shan Jichen quietly hid his trembling hands in his sleeves: "Go down."
The dog nodded and stepped back.
Several people had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they were all the pastry mother-in-law, who didn't even notice when the door of the old house was pushed open.
It was Qiu Mo who raised his eyes inadvertently and saw that there was one more person in the courtyard.
"Your Highness?"
Hearing Qiu Mo's voice, Shan Jichen turned around abruptly.
Behind him, Ji Yaozhi's face was pale, and he was standing weakly in the clothes of the palace guards. When he saw Shan Jichen, he shook on the spot a few times and stabbed himself on the ground.
"Yaozhi..." Shan Jichen suddenly stood up from the four-wheel chair, under the shocked eyes of Shan Jihe and Qipan, he rushed to Ji Yaozhi's side and caught him: "Yaozhi! "
The author has something to say: I will update a chapter later.
Thanks for liking.
☆, lotus moon
Ji Yaozhi has been in a coma, with a high fever, brows furrowed tightly, and pale lips. Shan Jichen, who was standing by, lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression. The doctor Ji Yaoyun invited took Ji Yaozhi's pulse, and sighed lightly He shook his head and said: "Your Highness is caused by a knot in his heart, and His Highness needs to think about it himself."
"Go down." Ji Yaoyun waved his hand and gave Qiu Mo a look.
Seeing Qiu Mo go out with the doctor, Shan Jihe turned around and asked doubts in his heart: "Why did Yaozhi come here?"
Why didn't Ji Yaozhi, who was supposed to be in prison, come to the old house because of the emperor's imperial decree earlier?
"How could the father have the heart to imprison Yaozhi?" Ji Yaoyun sat in front of the couch, glanced at Ji Yaozhi who was sleeping, and said with a sigh: "Most likely, the father secretly kept Chen Cang and replaced Yaozhi."
"The one who is in prison now..." Shan Jihe stopped speaking halfway through.
so what
The top priority now is to find the murderer who killed Princess Yasukuni, or find out Yasukuni's hidden conspiracy.
The prime minister's horse's feet have been exposed, and he must not be taken lightly at this moment.
"I'll go back today first. Tomorrow at noon, I'll go find the pastry mother-in-law that Gou'er mentioned. If I find the right person, I'm negotiating." Ji Yaoyun stood up with his hands behind his back: "Jichen, you should also rest earlier. Nothing will happen."
"I won't give it away." Shan Jichen nodded.
Qi Pan put the brewed tea on the table. Seeing that the candles in the room were a little dim, he found a few more sticks from the cabinet and lit them.
The flickering candle flickered on and off, Shan Jihe's thoughts were a little confused.
"Brother...your leg..."
Shan Jichen shook Ji Yaozhi's hand, and after a while he replied hoarsely: "I lied to you, to Yaozhi."
"But because of the emperor?" Shan Jihe frowned.
Qi Pan waited quietly, not wanting to disturb the two of them.
"It has nothing to do with the emperor, it's just that I made an excuse to push Yaozhi away." Shan Jichen turned around, just like Ji Yaozhi who was on the couch, as if his whole body had been drained of strength, and he looked weak Incomparable.
Shan Jihe didn't ask too many questions, some things just couldn't be clarified, not to mention Ji Yaozhi and Shan Jichen couldn't explain clearly, so it's better to avoid it.
"Pan'er and I will go back first, and we will come back tomorrow." Shan Jihe held Qi Pan's hand, took one last look at Ji Yaozhi who was still asleep, and reluctantly pulled Qi Pan out of the room.
Ji Yaozhi was dazed like a dream, some real and some far away. He drank wine with Shan Jichen, and went to the mountains and rivers with Shan Jichen. It's really, really like stretching out your arm, you can hold Shan Jichen's hand.
"Ji Chen..." Ji Yaozhi's heart ached unbearably, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.
He doesn't want to wake up.
He didn't want to be in this deep palace at first, but God gave him too many good things, so he cruelly took away what he wanted most.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a trance, my whole body seemed to be drenched by water, and my head was so swollen that it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Shan Jichen fell asleep beside his hand, his worry could be seen from his frowning.
"Ji Chen." Ji Yaozhi called softly.
The voice was not loud, but Shan Jichen was woken up, a gleam of joy flashed across his face, Shan Jichen touched Ji Yao's forehead with sleepy eyes: "Are you awake?"
Ji Yaozhi didn't speak, just stared at Shan Jichen.
"Look at me." Shan Jichen turned his head inadvertently, not knowing how to face Ji Yaozhi.
He never imagined that he would meet Ji Yaozhi so soon, let alone that the fate of the two of them would be so entwined, and he couldn't figure it out.
The moment he looked at Ji Yaozhi just now, his heart hung in his throat and he put it back in his stomach. No matter what happened to Ji Yaozhi, what is really in front of him now is the real Ji Yaozhi, who can touch it. of.
Xu Shi felt Shan Jichen's worry, and Ji Yaozhi felt sore in his heart.
"See if it's true." Ji Yaozhi's throat hurts, but he couldn't help but want to say: "It's like a dream."
"What's wrong with you..." Shan Jichen paused, his ears turned red, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I've heard everything."
"Father told me to change my identity with a guard, and told me to come look for you." Ji Yaozhi coughed a few times, stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and held Shan Jichen's tightly.
The temperature in his hands makes people linger, Shan Jichen got up after a while to get a glass of water for Ji Yaozhi, then bent down to help Ji Yaozhi up: "Drink some water first..."
"Ji Chen..." Ji Yaozhi pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile, and leaned on Shan Jichen to feel relieved.
"Ok?"
"I've never been as happy as I was just now." Ji Yaozhi sighed and regained a lot of strength: "When I got married today, I just thought it would be nice that the person was you, but God heard my heart, You let me meet you again."
"You never hated me?" Shan Jichen trembled a little, and his fragmented thoughts slowly came back, and now his reason had already surrounded him.
Ji Yaozhi shook his head, and finally compromised with himself: "I can't let go, no matter how I hint to myself, I still want you in my heart. I'm a little lucky about what happened today, but I don't want to put myself in danger."
Shan Jichen buried his face in Ji Yao's shoulder, and only after his beating heart stabilized, he exhaled and said, "Don't be angry with me, let alone marry someone else."
Ji Yaozhi chuckled a few times: "With you, it's like taking a good medicine. If you can accompany me, I won't be afraid of others."
"Resting for a while." Shan Jichen lay down with his clothes on, beside Ji Yaozhi.
The two hot bodies hug each other, but it is very reassuring.
Shan Jichen found the courage, and he will definitely not push Ji Yaozhi away in the future.
What power and country, he just wanted to be with Ji Yaozhi.
The pastry mother-in-law said by Gou'er usually makes some pastries and sells them to make ends meet. The pastry shop is not far from the old house, deep in the alley.
When a few people rushed to the shop, the pastry mother-in-law seemed to have just returned from the temple.
Ji Yaozhi came suddenly yesterday, and his whereabouts could not be revealed. Several people discussed two or three times, and decided to let Shan Jichen accompany him in the old house. I am afraid that the fateful couple still have a lot to say.
Ji Yaoyun brought Qiu Mo and Shan Jihe along, and the three of them came together.
Granny Cake is dressed in plain clothes and has gray hair. Although she is stooped, she moves swiftly.
Seeing the dog coming, the pastry mother-in-law beckoned and was about to talk to the dog when she looked up and saw Ji Yaoyun and the others, and then asked with a puzzled face, "Dare to ask the guest officer... but you have to buy it?" what"
Shan Jihe on the side hesitated for a moment and stopped talking, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and put it in front of Granny Pastry: "Grandma, you were the maid in the palace back then, Heyue?"
The mother-in-law was taken aback, stared at Yin Zi for a moment, then raised her eyes to Qiu Mo and the others, her tone raised a lot: "Who are you?"
"Then do you recognize this one?" Qiu Mo and Ji Yaoyun looked at each other, and took out a square handkerchief from their arms.
Looking at Fang Pa, the porcelain bowl in the mother-in-law's hand almost fell to the ground, and she asked with panic and surprise on her face, "You...you..."
"Don't be afraid, mother-in-law. I'm just waiting for the emperor's order to come here to inquire about something." Seeing her mother-in-law's frightened appearance, Qiu Mo hurriedly explained: "Mother-in-law, do you remember... What happened on the day of delivery?"
"Queen...Queen..." Granny Heyue muttered a few words, shaking her head, "After hiding for so many years, she finally came..."
"This is a very important matter, please let me know all about it, mother-in-law." Ji Yaoyun said.
Grandma Heyue put down the bowl in her hand, straightened her clothes, and then slowly knelt down to Ji Yaoyun: "Your servant sees the prince."
"How do you know I'm the prince?" Ji Yaoyun frowned.
"This old servant has stayed in the palace for decades, and when he entered the palace earlier, he was followed by Concubine Wan." Granny Heyue laughed a few times, not as nervous as before, she thought for a moment and continued to speak clearly: " The empress was pregnant with a dragon son, and she stood tall in the harem. At that time, Concubine Wan liked to eat some pastries. The old slave was born in a poor family and only knew how to make pastries. Beside her, Concubine Wan had a treasured jade pendant at that time, she took it out to look at it every day, the old servant recognized the prince's jade pendant only after seeing the jade pendant on the waist of the prince."
"But why are you related to the queen?" Shan Jihe asked.
Granny He Yue shook her head, with a bitter expression on her face: "The old slave is just a servant girl. The queen heard that the old slave is good at craftsmanship, so she took the old slave from the side of Concubine Wan. She didn't want to... went to the queen's side, but The trap is beyond redemption."
"Why did you say that?"
"This old slave has been hiding this matter for decades, hiding deep in this alley waiting to die, but he doesn't want to tell the truth before he dies." Granny He Yue sighed: "The queen gave birth to a child, but... ...but a female fetus."
"Female fetus?" Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Exactly." Granny Heyue nodded: "The empress was in labor on the day of her delivery, and the midwife spent several hours with her before giving birth to the princess... I don't want... I don't want the prime minister to strangle the princess alive after she knows about it." Die in front of the Queen."
"What?" Shan Jihe couldn't help laughing, and almost scolded: "Is what you said true?"
"The old slave dare not talk nonsense. The queen fainted on the couch due to dystocia. The prime minister asked someone to take in a boy from somewhere beforehand. Before the queen knew it, he strangled the princess to death...the package was lost. .”
"This cruel old thing!" Ji Yaozhi kicked over the wooden stool beside him, his face flushed red: "How dare you be so bold! Do these outrageous things!"
"After that, the midwife who knew the truth died violently on the street the next day." Granny Heyue seemed to remember something, fell into the memory, and trembled violently: "The old slave watched the maids who knew about it disappear one by one. , I know that the prime minister is behind the scenes, and the maids in the palace have no status, and no one will find out if they die."
"How did you escape?"
Granny He Yue covered her chest with her hands and shook her head: "Perhaps God couldn't stand it, and let people find a dead maidservant in the imperial garden. The queen asked people to throw away the maidservant, and the old servant came out with her. "
"Are you fleeing here?" Ji Yaoyun asked.
"That's true." Granny He Yue nodded, and replied respectfully: "The empress doesn't know about this, she always thought that she gave birth to a dragon son, but the prime minister is different, those who know about this must be eliminated one by one, old slave I escaped by luck, and quietly hid while the guards who went out of the palace together were not paying attention."
"Then why didn't you go back to Yucheng, but hid in this city's An Street?"
"I don't dare." Granny Heyue said here, already in tears: "If the prime minister knows about it and other people know about it, how can he let this old slave go? They say that the most dangerous place is the most dangerous place." A safe place, I don’t want to really let the old slave hide for decades.”
"Then are you willing to go with me to clarify this matter with my father?"
Granny He Yue raised her head, looked at Ji Yaozhi, and said with firm eyes, "This old slave has been waiting for today for decades.
The author has something to say: continue tomorrow.
☆, bet
The appearance of Granny Heyue undoubtedly gave a crucial clue to the murder of the princess.
At this moment, Ji Yaozhi is hiding in the old house, if people in the palace find out, the whole capital will surely be in turmoil.
Seeing that Zhao Meng has led his troops to look at the court, the Prime Minister and Yu Chang of Liucheng have joined forces again. Once there is no result in the case of the princess in three days, it will definitely be a chaotic battle.
The strategy of combining outside and outside can be avoided by people.
Granny He Yue seemed to have made up her mind and arranged everything in the house, she followed Ji Yaoyun and the others to go outside with a slight trembling.
Just happened to walk to Gou'er, and slowly said as if thinking of something: "At first, I thought that the old slave's craftsmanship would follow the old slave into the coffin, but I didn't expect to meet a clever man... I don't know if I can return to the palace this time." Come... If you can't come back, you can take over this shop."
"Grandma..." Gou'er's eyes turned red.
He didn't have a deep relationship with Granny Heyue, if it wasn't for Shan Jichen's fondness for pastries, he wouldn't have been able to find her here.
"Dare to ask the prince, when will you leave?"
Ji Yaoyun asked Qiu Mo to bring the carriage, and personally supported Granny Heyue to the front of the carriage: "After I have made a plan, I will enter the palace with this king."
Granny He Yue didn't ask any other questions, and nodded slightly with a sigh of relief.
Ji Yaozhi's health has improved, but his face is pale and weak, and he is leaning on the couch and staring at Shan Jichen with fiery eyes.
Shan Jichen warmed up the medicine that the dog had decocted before he left, and brought it to Ji Yaozhi: "Drink it while it's hot."
Ji Yaozhi inadvertently retracted his hands back into the quilt, shook his head and said, "Hey, Ji Chen."
"Why are you still like a child." Shan Jichen chuckled twice, but he never refused: "Hurry up and drink...it's so bad to see."
"Who?" Ji Yaozhi stretched his neck and took a sip of the medicine, swallowed it contentedly, without feeling bitter: "Dog?"
"My lord..."
"Speaking of the second brother..." Ji Yaozhi was a little dissatisfied: "When did you and the second brother get along so well?"
Shan Jichen put the medicine bowl aside, reached out and tapped Ji Yaozhi's face: "You might as well ask why the emperor did this."
"Royal father?" Ji Yaozhi coughed twice, grabbed Shan Jichen's hand and refused to let go: "But Jichen said... that the royal father sent you to Yucheng?"
"Exactly." Shan Jichen sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has good intentions."
Ji Yaozhi lowered his eyes, and after a while he said in a muffled voice: "I've always known that my father has always wanted to pass on the crown prince to me."
Shan Jichen raised his eyebrows after hearing this, he really never thought that Ji Yaozhi would say that.
Seeing the doubts on Shan Jichen's face, Ji Yaozhi sighed lightly, and said in resignation: "Brother is playing tricks, how could you let the emperor catch your eye, but the second brother was sent to Yucheng because of his mother and concubine. except me……"
"Yaozhi..." Shan Jichen said, "There is one thing I haven't confessed to you."
"If Jichen wants to say it, then I'll listen." Ji Yaozhi took Shan Jichen's hand and put it on his lips for a kiss: "As long as you are safe, it's fine."
When they returned to the old house, Ji Yaoyun and the others were a little preoccupied.
After Shan Jichen watched Ji Yaozhi fall asleep, he walked out of the house lightly.
Seeing that Ji Yaoyun brought Granny Heyue back with him, Shan Jichen didn't ask any more questions, and asked Gouer to tidy up a room and settled Granny Heyue.
"There are only two days left, and Li Meng's reinforcements from Jingguo are already waiting outside the city. Presumably Yu Chang is ready to go." Shan Jihe took a sip of tea, his face heavy: "If Heyue I'm afraid it would be very inappropriate for the mother-in-law to take it to the palace."
"Ji He, I understand your worries." Ji Yaoyun walked on the same spot: "It's just that there is one thing I haven't thought through yet."
"What's the matter?"
Ji Yaoyun turned his head to look at Qiu Mo and the others, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The prime minister has always wanted to push Ji Yaojiang to the position of prince, so that he would have the opportunity to take advantage of Ji Yaojiang's position in the future and let him replace him... But, Does the queen know?"
"What does the lord mean...?" Qiu Mo was taken aback after hearing this.
Shan Jihe frowned, and did not relax his tense nerves until Qipan held his hand beside him.
"Grandma Heyue said just now that the queen didn't know what the prime minister had done... In that case, for his own 'great cause'...the prime minister would definitely keep his mouth shut, presumably the queen is like Wanying...she was used as a pawn by the prime minister .”
After Shan Jihe finished speaking, everyone gasped.
If this is the case, what the prime minister has done... can be described as a beast.
After much deliberation, several people discussed in three to block it.
The killing of Princess Jingguo is full of doubts. Now that Shan Jihe has been dismissed from office, only Ji Yaoyun still has some rights.
"The defeat is just one move. Ji He and I entered the palace, and I prayed and Qiu Mo waited here." Ji Yaoyun's face was serious: "If something happens in the palace... Qiu Mo, you can listen to Ji Chen's orders..."
"Yes!"
"Ji He..." Qi Pan was a little worried, her heart beating violently.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, but there is nothing I can do. I hope that I don’t want to get off my hind legs, and all the reluctance and unbearableness will turn into a firm hug: "Ji He will come back soon..."
"Wait for me." Shan Jihe lowered his head and kissed Qipan's lips forcefully: "You stay with Qiu Mo, if the prime minister jumps over the wall in a hurry, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, so you have to be extremely careful."
"I hope I know, Ji He can rest assured."
On the way to the palace, Shan Jihe and Ji Yaozhi kept the people and country of the court on the empress without saying a word. If this was done in the past, they would never have made such a bad move.
"The lord and the general can rest assured." Granny Heyue's tone was flat: "This old slave often thinks, God told this old slave to live for so long, but did he really ask him to take the secret away?...Now that I think about it, God Keeping the old slave alive is to ask the old slave to help the prince."
"The queen is ruthless..."
"My lord, you don't know..." Granny He Yue smiled and shook her head: "The empress is a woman after all, and her own flesh and blood that was conceived in October can be strangled to death... Dare I ask my lord, is it possible for a mother to bear it?"
"Grandma's words?"
"I remember that when the Empress was pregnant, she didn't even want to step on an ant. She said she wanted to feed the child Kidd in her womb. The Empress was originally very innocent... It's just that the people in the palace are sinister. If you want to live... oh , look at the mouth of this old slave..."
"Grandma, but it's okay to say." Shan Jihe said.
Granny He Yue shook her head, avoiding the conversation: "The way to enter the palace...is still the same."
Ji Yaoyun nodded: "This king also looked like this when he left the palace four years ago."
"The one who should come will always come, but the prince... This old slave usually goes to the nunnery outside the city to eat fast and chant Buddha..."
"Nun's nunnery?" Ji Yaoyun was taken aback, his face obviously changed.
"Miss Wanying, you often talk about the prince with this old slave."
"Prince?" Shan Jihe on the side said in surprise: "Grandma Heyue said it, but it was the prince, not Brother Jichen?"
"The old slave is old, but he is not deaf and blind, and he will not remember wrongly."
"My lord... this..." Shan Jihe turned his head to Ji Yaoyun, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why does Wanying..."
Who would have thought that Ji Yaoyun laughed twice, not as nervous as before: "Wanying and I really hit it off."
"what?"
"Father originally promised me...that after the prime minister's affairs, I would take Wanying away..." Ji Yaoyun stretched out his hand and patted Shan Jihe's shoulder a few times: "Ji Chen and Wanying are married, and it is also the father's marriage. The emperor's plan is to plan, let the prime minister put down his guard..."
Shan Jihe was so startled that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "So..."
Knowing what Shan Jihe was thinking, Ji Yaozhi nodded: "The matter of the mother and concubine, the matter of Wanying... even the matter of Ji Chen's going to Yucheng... are all done by the father... to make the prime minister take it lightly, Let Yao Zhi smoothly sit on the crown prince."
Hearing the news from the palace that Ji Yaoyun was going to enter the palace, the emperor ordered Eunuch Lu Xi to wait for him early on.
The news Granny Heyue found has not been disclosed yet, and the prime minister doesn't know about it at the moment, and they have to rush into the palace to confront the queen before the prime minister gets the news.
The Kunning Palace was very quiet, and from time to time, I could only watch some maidservants walk by in small steps. Taking advantage of no one's suggestion, Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe followed Eunuch Lu Xi, walking quickly.
"Dare to ask Eunuch, Your Majesty..."
"Our house is ready, don't worry, the lord and the general." Eunuch Lu Xi took small steps, turned his head and saw a man with the appearance of a slave passing by, and hurriedly stopped him: "Just now, the empress ordered someone to go. Your Majesty, why haven't you invited him yet?"
The servant who was stopped had a dull expression on his face. After looking at Eunuch Lu Xi and Ji Yaoyun, he panicked and wanted to kneel down: "Slave..."
"Hurry up and invite the emperor to come here. Don't forget...not to show off."
"Yes!" The slave gave the order and hurried away.
Seeing that there was no shadow, Eunuch Lu Xi said with a blessing, "The empress is in Kunning Palace today, the prince and the general came with the old slave."
Granny He Yue lowered her head and followed behind them with great effort, and she didn't stop until she reached the main hall of Kunning Palace.
"Eunuch Lu Xi?" A maid happened to come out with a white jade teapot, looked at Eunuch Lu Xi and asked in surprise.
"Is the queen in there?"
The servant girl didn't know, seeing that Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe were both there, she was a little scared, she didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly replied: "Go back to Eunuch, it's inside."
"Take me in." Ji Yaoyun said sharply.
The maid shivered while holding the white jade teapot, then bent down and went in again.
Listening to want to move, the queen who closed her eyes and pretended to sleep on the phoenix chair frowned, opened her eyes and was about to reprimand loudly, but saw Ji Yaoyun.
"You!" The queen stood up abruptly, pointed at Ji Yaoyun a little excitedly: "Why are you here?"
"Queen..." Ji Yaoyun narrowed his eyes, trying to see a hole in the queen.
"And you!" The queen pointed her finger at Shan Jihe again, and asked sharply, "Who allowed you to come into this Kunning Palace!"
"Empress Empress..." Eunuch Lu Xi said slowly with a sharp voice, "The Emperor called our family to come and said that he has something important to say to Empress Empress."
"Your majesty?" The queen frowned, with doubts on her face.
"This old slave sees the empress." Granny He Yue, who was behind Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe, knelt down slightly tremblingly, and made a big salute.
"who are you?"
"Empress Empress... This old slave is Heyue, the servant girl who served Empress Empress..."
"Heyue...?" The queen frowned.
"On the day the empress gave birth, the old slave was by her side."
The author has something to say: I have been busy these two days, driving test and part-time job... I am so sorry, the article is coming to an end, thank you for waiting~
☆, surround
The queen's gorgeous clothes showed nobility, but now she was frowning in doubt, staring at the faces of Grandma He Yue and Shan Jihe.
Maybe Granny Heyue is an inconspicuous character, the queen hesitated after thinking for a while before asking: "Are you... the court lady who knew how to make cakes back then?"
"Returning to Empress, that's right." Granny He Yue said respectfully.
"Bold servant girl, escaped from the palace privately, let me punish you!" The queen snapped, "Who dared to come back today?"
"Empress, I brought the lady of Heyue here today, and I have something to say." Ji Yaoyun no longer wanted to hear the empress deal with such trivial matters, and changed his words: "I think the empress also knows about the death of Princess Yasukuni... I will take over now."
"You don't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, do you?" The queen smiled disdainfully, and said confidently: "Then you are looking for the wrong place."
"Miss Heyue, tell me everything you know." Ji Yaoyun turned his head, not continuing to look at the queen.
Shan Jihe frowned, his heart pounding.
Eunuch Lu Xi looked back, turned around and stood beside Shan Jihe, just blocking the Queen's realization.
Granny He Yue gave the order, she didn't dare to be negligent, she knelt on the ground and told the whole story clearly word by word.
From disdain to shock in the queen's eyes, Ji Yaoyun and the others understood it in their hearts.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The queen became a little hysterical, and shouted angrily: "Come on! Pull this nonsense bastard down to Ben Gong!"
Granny He Yue was not afraid, she just shook her head slightly and said softly: "Empress Empress, this old slave has been hiding outside the palace for decades, why would he enter the palace to talk nonsense and seek death?"
"My son is the emperor's dragon species. What kind of intention do you have to come here to make trouble!"
The queen couldn't listen, but her whole body was shaking violently.
Ji Yaoyun gave Shan Jihe a wink, and said persistently: "Queen, do you know why this king went to Yucheng?"
"I don't want to know!" The queen waved her hands, took two steps back, and said in a panic, "Back off!"
But Ji Yaoyun didn't pay attention to it, and said in a deep and cold voice: "Do you still remember the matter of the mother and concubine? It was just that the father ordered someone to set up a game... You know, the girl from the Heyue Palace is in Yucheng, and the father is the emperor. But taking advantage of the mother and concubine's affairs, it's just an excuse to transfer the king to Yucheng!"
The queen raised her head in disbelief, and sat slumped on the phoenix chair behind her, it seemed that she hadn't recovered from Granny Heyue's words.
"Impossible..." The queen muttered a few words, shook her head and said, "Impossible...Father..."
"The queen's younger sister Wanying... is the prime minister's involvement... Do you know these queens well?" Ji Yaoyun said with a little hatred at the second place, saying that the tiger was naturally a lot more ruthless: "You know, the prime minister gave you the queen's The seat, something must be taken from you! You are like Wanying, what is the difference?"
"Shut up!" The queen's eyes were slightly red, and she stared at Ji Yaoyun stubbornly: "I am very different from that Wanying! She is just born to a concubine, and she deserves it!"
Ji Yaoyun sneered: "You are pregnant with a princess, which is a stumbling block for the prime minister...the midwife who died violently on the street...does the queen know?"
"..." The queen's hand tightly grasped the handle of the phoenix chair, her eyes became a little dull.
The words of Ji Yaoyun and others seemed to tear her into pieces, which caught the queen by surprise.
All kinds of unbelievable words made the queen feel overwhelmed for a long time.
"...The child of this Palace..."
"Going back to Empress, this old slave will not be mistaken, but the Prime Minister strangled him to death." Granny He Yue couldn't bear to watch.
She is a woman, so she naturally knows the empress's pain at the moment.
"Impossible... Impossible..." The empress had a mournful face, but she laughed again for a moment: "Don't want to be in front of me..."
"Empress Empress..." Granny He Yue crawled up to the Empress with all her strength, kowtowed and said, "Empress Empress, the current seven princes are just a boy brought from outside the city by the Prime Minister!"
"...Why is this happening! Why are you doing this to me!" The queen yelled a few times at the top of her lungs, and she fell down from the phoenix chair completely powerless.
Ji Yaoyun sighed and turned his back.
"Why is this...it's just that the prime minister wants to sit on the world."
The queen kept shaking her head, her faith in her heart was shattered.
She originally thought that when her son took the crown prince and her step-son ascended the throne, she would be able to be her empress dowager with peace of mind, but she didn't want...everything would be a mess.
It's shameful that her own father can use her like this.
"The emperor is here!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Eunuch Lu Xi hurriedly shouted.
Everyone looked up and looked outside the door.
I saw Ji Yong striding in with a gloomy face.
"... Your majesty..." The queen trembled all over, very frightened.
I don't know how much the emperor listened to the words just now.
"Queen, I ask you, the matter of Princess Jingguo is related to the prime minister?"
The Queen's eyes widened, she opened her mouth and was speechless.
Ji Yong's expression was displeased, his eyes were very cold: "Say!"
"My majesty, please forgive me, my concubine doesn't know..."
"I don't know?" Ji Yong raised his tone and kicked the queen away: "Strangle my princess to death with my own hands, use a fake trick to play with me, and even collude with other countries to seek power and usurp the throne! Heinous, I will not punish you. Let go of the hatred in your heart!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The Empress hugged Ji Yong's legs, crying and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, my concubines were also kept in the dark, Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"If you want to live...then tell me the truth, did the prime minister collude with another country? Do you intend to rebel?" Ji Yong lowered his head and asked clearly every word.
The queen closed her eyes, she was out of breath from crying, her clothes were already messed up, and she no longer looked like a mother.
Knowing that today's death penalty is inevitable, the queen simply went all out.
"Yes...Princess Yasukuni is not dead, she is at the station outside the city right now." The queen let go of Ji Yong, slumped on the ground, her eyes became a little wandering: "...have pity on me..."
Ji Yong frowned, looked at the empress who looked a bit wrong, and slowed down his tone: "Wanru..."
The queen was taken aback, looked up at Ji Yong with surprise on his face, trembled for a moment before bursting into tears, which made people feel heartbroken: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not called a concubine by name for 20 years..."
After all, the queen is a woman who wants to please her husband. In the depths of the harem, it is natural to let go of something after gaining power.
Ji Yong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then he said firmly to Eunuch Lu Xi who was standing beside him: "From now on, the queen will be thrown into limbo, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my will."
The queen lowered her head and sobbed, unable to see her face clearly.
Ji Yong turned his head to one side, and continued: "Give Ji Yaojiang a cup of red on the top of the crane."
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Lu Xi was taken aback.
"It's just destiny." Ji Yong sighed, and walked out: "He has replaced my princess for decades and lived well, so it's time to accompany my princess."
Seeing Ji Yong walking away, Eunuch Lu Xi, who had recovered his senses, hurriedly chased him out.
Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe in Kunning Palace looked at each other and were about to leave, but they didn't want to be stopped by Granny Heyue.
"This old slave can't live for a few more days. If I could tell this secret... Right now, I just want to serve the empress to make amends... I also ask the prince to make it happen."
Looking at Granny Heyue on the ground, Ji Yaoyun couldn't bear it, waved his hands and stopped talking.
"Thank you, Lord."
The news that the queen was imprisoned in the cold palace soon spread, and the prime minister in the prime minister's mansion was restless, and couldn't even wait for three days, so they sent someone to contact Yu Zhang.
Li Meng was still waiting for the news outside the city, there was only one day left before the three-day agreement, and he was thinking about whether to send someone to the city to urge him, when he saw a soldier ran into the camp in a panic.
"Why panic!" Li Meng put down his glass and asked sharply.
The soldier was sweating profusely, fell to the ground, gasped for breath and replied loudly: "Back to the general...Princess, the princess was..."
"What's wrong with the princess!" Li Meng stood up abruptly, and couldn't care less about knocking over the table: "But what happened?"
"General... the princess was approached in the palace of the court!"
"What?" Li Meng turned pale with shock, grabbed the sword on the table and strode out of the camp.
Jiang walked outside, but before he regained his senses, someone held a sharp sword to his throat, making it impossible to move an inch.
"Who are you?" Li Meng was not afraid, but he still didn't dare to be careless. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, he couldn't remember who it was.
"The general of the next dynasty, Shan Jichen, I don't know if General Li Meng has heard of it." Shan Jichen smiled and looked at Li Meng coldly.
Li Meng trembled when Shan Jichen stared at him, and thought for a while before he remembered: "It's not Shan Jihe's brother!"
"The general really has a good memory." Shan Jichen sneered, put his sword against Li Meng, and forced him to retreat.
Li Meng rolled his eyes, and was about to call someone over, but found that the soldiers guarding outside the camp were gone.
"Your people told me to invite you to the palace... General, can you follow me next time?"
The dog nodded: "Exactly."
Shan Jihe and the others looked at each other, a little shocked.
After searching for so long, I'm afraid the old maid has been in the capital all the time?
"Hurry up and take me to have a look!" Ji Yaoyun said before going out.
The dog hesitated for a moment, and called out to Ji Yaoyun in a low voice: "My lord... at this hour, my mother-in-law went to the temple outside the city, and she won't be back until noon tomorrow."
Ji Yaoyun stopped, holding back the joy in his heart.
"Then we'll go tomorrow." Shan Jichen quietly hid his trembling hands in his sleeves: "Go down."
The dog nodded and stepped back.
Several people had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they were all the pastry mother-in-law, who didn't even notice when the door of the old house was pushed open.
It was Qiu Mo who raised his eyes inadvertently and saw that there was one more person in the courtyard.
"Your Highness?"
Hearing Qiu Mo's voice, Shan Jichen turned around abruptly.
Behind him, Ji Yaozhi's face was pale, and he was standing weakly in the clothes of the palace guards. When he saw Shan Jichen, he shook on the spot a few times and stabbed himself on the ground.
"Yaozhi..." Shan Jichen suddenly stood up from the four-wheel chair, under the shocked eyes of Shan Jihe and Qipan, he rushed to Ji Yaozhi's side and caught him: "Yaozhi! "
The author has something to say: I will update a chapter later.
Thanks for liking.
☆, lotus moon
Ji Yaozhi has been in a coma, with a high fever, brows furrowed tightly, and pale lips. Shan Jichen, who was standing by, lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression. The doctor Ji Yaoyun invited took Ji Yaozhi's pulse, and sighed lightly He shook his head and said: "Your Highness is caused by a knot in his heart, and His Highness needs to think about it himself."
"Go down." Ji Yaoyun waved his hand and gave Qiu Mo a look.
Seeing Qiu Mo go out with the doctor, Shan Jihe turned around and asked doubts in his heart: "Why did Yaozhi come here?"
Why didn't Ji Yaozhi, who was supposed to be in prison, come to the old house because of the emperor's imperial decree earlier?
"How could the father have the heart to imprison Yaozhi?" Ji Yaoyun sat in front of the couch, glanced at Ji Yaozhi who was sleeping, and said with a sigh: "Most likely, the father secretly kept Chen Cang and replaced Yaozhi."
"The one who is in prison now..." Shan Jihe stopped speaking halfway through.
so what
The top priority now is to find the murderer who killed Princess Yasukuni, or find out Yasukuni's hidden conspiracy.
The prime minister's horse's feet have been exposed, and he must not be taken lightly at this moment.
"I'll go back today first. Tomorrow at noon, I'll go find the pastry mother-in-law that Gou'er mentioned. If I find the right person, I'm negotiating." Ji Yaoyun stood up with his hands behind his back: "Jichen, you should also rest earlier. Nothing will happen."
"I won't give it away." Shan Jichen nodded.
Qi Pan put the brewed tea on the table. Seeing that the candles in the room were a little dim, he found a few more sticks from the cabinet and lit them.
The flickering candle flickered on and off, Shan Jihe's thoughts were a little confused.
"Brother...your leg..."
Shan Jichen shook Ji Yaozhi's hand, and after a while he replied hoarsely: "I lied to you, to Yaozhi."
"But because of the emperor?" Shan Jihe frowned.
Qi Pan waited quietly, not wanting to disturb the two of them.
"It has nothing to do with the emperor, it's just that I made an excuse to push Yaozhi away." Shan Jichen turned around, just like Ji Yaozhi who was on the couch, as if his whole body had been drained of strength, and he looked weak Incomparable.
Shan Jihe didn't ask too many questions, some things just couldn't be clarified, not to mention Ji Yaozhi and Shan Jichen couldn't explain clearly, so it's better to avoid it.
"Pan'er and I will go back first, and we will come back tomorrow." Shan Jihe held Qi Pan's hand, took one last look at Ji Yaozhi who was still asleep, and reluctantly pulled Qi Pan out of the room.
Ji Yaozhi was dazed like a dream, some real and some far away. He drank wine with Shan Jichen, and went to the mountains and rivers with Shan Jichen. It's really, really like stretching out your arm, you can hold Shan Jichen's hand.
"Ji Chen..." Ji Yaozhi's heart ached unbearably, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.
He doesn't want to wake up.
He didn't want to be in this deep palace at first, but God gave him too many good things, so he cruelly took away what he wanted most.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a trance, my whole body seemed to be drenched by water, and my head was so swollen that it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Shan Jichen fell asleep beside his hand, his worry could be seen from his frowning.
"Ji Chen." Ji Yaozhi called softly.
The voice was not loud, but Shan Jichen was woken up, a gleam of joy flashed across his face, Shan Jichen touched Ji Yao's forehead with sleepy eyes: "Are you awake?"
Ji Yaozhi didn't speak, just stared at Shan Jichen.
"Look at me." Shan Jichen turned his head inadvertently, not knowing how to face Ji Yaozhi.
He never imagined that he would meet Ji Yaozhi so soon, let alone that the fate of the two of them would be so entwined, and he couldn't figure it out.
The moment he looked at Ji Yaozhi just now, his heart hung in his throat and he put it back in his stomach. No matter what happened to Ji Yaozhi, what is really in front of him now is the real Ji Yaozhi, who can touch it. of.
Xu Shi felt Shan Jichen's worry, and Ji Yaozhi felt sore in his heart.
"See if it's true." Ji Yaozhi's throat hurts, but he couldn't help but want to say: "It's like a dream."
"What's wrong with you..." Shan Jichen paused, his ears turned red, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I've heard everything."
"Father told me to change my identity with a guard, and told me to come look for you." Ji Yaozhi coughed a few times, stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and held Shan Jichen's tightly.
The temperature in his hands makes people linger, Shan Jichen got up after a while to get a glass of water for Ji Yaozhi, then bent down to help Ji Yaozhi up: "Drink some water first..."
"Ji Chen..." Ji Yaozhi pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile, and leaned on Shan Jichen to feel relieved.
"Ok?"
"I've never been as happy as I was just now." Ji Yaozhi sighed and regained a lot of strength: "When I got married today, I just thought it would be nice that the person was you, but God heard my heart, You let me meet you again."
"You never hated me?" Shan Jichen trembled a little, and his fragmented thoughts slowly came back, and now his reason had already surrounded him.
Ji Yaozhi shook his head, and finally compromised with himself: "I can't let go, no matter how I hint to myself, I still want you in my heart. I'm a little lucky about what happened today, but I don't want to put myself in danger."
Shan Jichen buried his face in Ji Yao's shoulder, and only after his beating heart stabilized, he exhaled and said, "Don't be angry with me, let alone marry someone else."
Ji Yaozhi chuckled a few times: "With you, it's like taking a good medicine. If you can accompany me, I won't be afraid of others."
"Resting for a while." Shan Jichen lay down with his clothes on, beside Ji Yaozhi.
The two hot bodies hug each other, but it is very reassuring.
Shan Jichen found the courage, and he will definitely not push Ji Yaozhi away in the future.
What power and country, he just wanted to be with Ji Yaozhi.
The pastry mother-in-law said by Gou'er usually makes some pastries and sells them to make ends meet. The pastry shop is not far from the old house, deep in the alley.
When a few people rushed to the shop, the pastry mother-in-law seemed to have just returned from the temple.
Ji Yaozhi came suddenly yesterday, and his whereabouts could not be revealed. Several people discussed two or three times, and decided to let Shan Jichen accompany him in the old house. I am afraid that the fateful couple still have a lot to say.
Ji Yaoyun brought Qiu Mo and Shan Jihe along, and the three of them came together.
Granny Cake is dressed in plain clothes and has gray hair. Although she is stooped, she moves swiftly.
Seeing the dog coming, the pastry mother-in-law beckoned and was about to talk to the dog when she looked up and saw Ji Yaoyun and the others, and then asked with a puzzled face, "Dare to ask the guest officer... but you have to buy it?" what"
Shan Jihe on the side hesitated for a moment and stopped talking, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and put it in front of Granny Pastry: "Grandma, you were the maid in the palace back then, Heyue?"
The mother-in-law was taken aback, stared at Yin Zi for a moment, then raised her eyes to Qiu Mo and the others, her tone raised a lot: "Who are you?"
"Then do you recognize this one?" Qiu Mo and Ji Yaoyun looked at each other, and took out a square handkerchief from their arms.
Looking at Fang Pa, the porcelain bowl in the mother-in-law's hand almost fell to the ground, and she asked with panic and surprise on her face, "You...you..."
"Don't be afraid, mother-in-law. I'm just waiting for the emperor's order to come here to inquire about something." Seeing her mother-in-law's frightened appearance, Qiu Mo hurriedly explained: "Mother-in-law, do you remember... What happened on the day of delivery?"
"Queen...Queen..." Granny Heyue muttered a few words, shaking her head, "After hiding for so many years, she finally came..."
"This is a very important matter, please let me know all about it, mother-in-law." Ji Yaoyun said.
Grandma Heyue put down the bowl in her hand, straightened her clothes, and then slowly knelt down to Ji Yaoyun: "Your servant sees the prince."
"How do you know I'm the prince?" Ji Yaoyun frowned.
"This old servant has stayed in the palace for decades, and when he entered the palace earlier, he was followed by Concubine Wan." Granny Heyue laughed a few times, not as nervous as before, she thought for a moment and continued to speak clearly: " The empress was pregnant with a dragon son, and she stood tall in the harem. At that time, Concubine Wan liked to eat some pastries. The old slave was born in a poor family and only knew how to make pastries. Beside her, Concubine Wan had a treasured jade pendant at that time, she took it out to look at it every day, the old servant recognized the prince's jade pendant only after seeing the jade pendant on the waist of the prince."
"But why are you related to the queen?" Shan Jihe asked.
Granny He Yue shook her head, with a bitter expression on her face: "The old slave is just a servant girl. The queen heard that the old slave is good at craftsmanship, so she took the old slave from the side of Concubine Wan. She didn't want to... went to the queen's side, but The trap is beyond redemption."
"Why did you say that?"
"This old slave has been hiding this matter for decades, hiding deep in this alley waiting to die, but he doesn't want to tell the truth before he dies." Granny He Yue sighed: "The queen gave birth to a child, but... ...but a female fetus."
"Female fetus?" Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Exactly." Granny Heyue nodded: "The empress was in labor on the day of her delivery, and the midwife spent several hours with her before giving birth to the princess... I don't want... I don't want the prime minister to strangle the princess alive after she knows about it." Die in front of the Queen."
"What?" Shan Jihe couldn't help laughing, and almost scolded: "Is what you said true?"
"The old slave dare not talk nonsense. The queen fainted on the couch due to dystocia. The prime minister asked someone to take in a boy from somewhere beforehand. Before the queen knew it, he strangled the princess to death...the package was lost. .”
"This cruel old thing!" Ji Yaozhi kicked over the wooden stool beside him, his face flushed red: "How dare you be so bold! Do these outrageous things!"
"After that, the midwife who knew the truth died violently on the street the next day." Granny Heyue seemed to remember something, fell into the memory, and trembled violently: "The old slave watched the maids who knew about it disappear one by one. , I know that the prime minister is behind the scenes, and the maids in the palace have no status, and no one will find out if they die."
"How did you escape?"
Granny He Yue covered her chest with her hands and shook her head: "Perhaps God couldn't stand it, and let people find a dead maidservant in the imperial garden. The queen asked people to throw away the maidservant, and the old servant came out with her. "
"Are you fleeing here?" Ji Yaoyun asked.
"That's true." Granny He Yue nodded, and replied respectfully: "The empress doesn't know about this, she always thought that she gave birth to a dragon son, but the prime minister is different, those who know about this must be eliminated one by one, old slave I escaped by luck, and quietly hid while the guards who went out of the palace together were not paying attention."
"Then why didn't you go back to Yucheng, but hid in this city's An Street?"
"I don't dare." Granny Heyue said here, already in tears: "If the prime minister knows about it and other people know about it, how can he let this old slave go? They say that the most dangerous place is the most dangerous place." A safe place, I don’t want to really let the old slave hide for decades.”
"Then are you willing to go with me to clarify this matter with my father?"
Granny He Yue raised her head, looked at Ji Yaozhi, and said with firm eyes, "This old slave has been waiting for today for decades.
The author has something to say: continue tomorrow.
☆, bet
The appearance of Granny Heyue undoubtedly gave a crucial clue to the murder of the princess.
At this moment, Ji Yaozhi is hiding in the old house, if people in the palace find out, the whole capital will surely be in turmoil.
Seeing that Zhao Meng has led his troops to look at the court, the Prime Minister and Yu Chang of Liucheng have joined forces again. Once there is no result in the case of the princess in three days, it will definitely be a chaotic battle.
The strategy of combining outside and outside can be avoided by people.
Granny He Yue seemed to have made up her mind and arranged everything in the house, she followed Ji Yaoyun and the others to go outside with a slight trembling.
Just happened to walk to Gou'er, and slowly said as if thinking of something: "At first, I thought that the old slave's craftsmanship would follow the old slave into the coffin, but I didn't expect to meet a clever man... I don't know if I can return to the palace this time." Come... If you can't come back, you can take over this shop."
"Grandma..." Gou'er's eyes turned red.
He didn't have a deep relationship with Granny Heyue, if it wasn't for Shan Jichen's fondness for pastries, he wouldn't have been able to find her here.
"Dare to ask the prince, when will you leave?"
Ji Yaoyun asked Qiu Mo to bring the carriage, and personally supported Granny Heyue to the front of the carriage: "After I have made a plan, I will enter the palace with this king."
Granny He Yue didn't ask any other questions, and nodded slightly with a sigh of relief.
Ji Yaozhi's health has improved, but his face is pale and weak, and he is leaning on the couch and staring at Shan Jichen with fiery eyes.
Shan Jichen warmed up the medicine that the dog had decocted before he left, and brought it to Ji Yaozhi: "Drink it while it's hot."
Ji Yaozhi inadvertently retracted his hands back into the quilt, shook his head and said, "Hey, Ji Chen."
"Why are you still like a child." Shan Jichen chuckled twice, but he never refused: "Hurry up and drink...it's so bad to see."
"Who?" Ji Yaozhi stretched his neck and took a sip of the medicine, swallowed it contentedly, without feeling bitter: "Dog?"
"My lord..."
"Speaking of the second brother..." Ji Yaozhi was a little dissatisfied: "When did you and the second brother get along so well?"
Shan Jichen put the medicine bowl aside, reached out and tapped Ji Yaozhi's face: "You might as well ask why the emperor did this."
"Royal father?" Ji Yaozhi coughed twice, grabbed Shan Jichen's hand and refused to let go: "But Jichen said... that the royal father sent you to Yucheng?"
"Exactly." Shan Jichen sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has good intentions."
Ji Yaozhi lowered his eyes, and after a while he said in a muffled voice: "I've always known that my father has always wanted to pass on the crown prince to me."
Shan Jichen raised his eyebrows after hearing this, he really never thought that Ji Yaozhi would say that.
Seeing the doubts on Shan Jichen's face, Ji Yaozhi sighed lightly, and said in resignation: "Brother is playing tricks, how could you let the emperor catch your eye, but the second brother was sent to Yucheng because of his mother and concubine. except me……"
"Yaozhi..." Shan Jichen said, "There is one thing I haven't confessed to you."
"If Jichen wants to say it, then I'll listen." Ji Yaozhi took Shan Jichen's hand and put it on his lips for a kiss: "As long as you are safe, it's fine."
When they returned to the old house, Ji Yaoyun and the others were a little preoccupied.
After Shan Jichen watched Ji Yaozhi fall asleep, he walked out of the house lightly.
Seeing that Ji Yaoyun brought Granny Heyue back with him, Shan Jichen didn't ask any more questions, and asked Gouer to tidy up a room and settled Granny Heyue.
"There are only two days left, and Li Meng's reinforcements from Jingguo are already waiting outside the city. Presumably Yu Chang is ready to go." Shan Jihe took a sip of tea, his face heavy: "If Heyue I'm afraid it would be very inappropriate for the mother-in-law to take it to the palace."
"Ji He, I understand your worries." Ji Yaoyun walked on the same spot: "It's just that there is one thing I haven't thought through yet."
"What's the matter?"
Ji Yaoyun turned his head to look at Qiu Mo and the others, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The prime minister has always wanted to push Ji Yaojiang to the position of prince, so that he would have the opportunity to take advantage of Ji Yaojiang's position in the future and let him replace him... But, Does the queen know?"
"What does the lord mean...?" Qiu Mo was taken aback after hearing this.
Shan Jihe frowned, and did not relax his tense nerves until Qipan held his hand beside him.
"Grandma Heyue said just now that the queen didn't know what the prime minister had done... In that case, for his own 'great cause'...the prime minister would definitely keep his mouth shut, presumably the queen is like Wanying...she was used as a pawn by the prime minister .”
After Shan Jihe finished speaking, everyone gasped.
If this is the case, what the prime minister has done... can be described as a beast.
After much deliberation, several people discussed in three to block it.
The killing of Princess Jingguo is full of doubts. Now that Shan Jihe has been dismissed from office, only Ji Yaoyun still has some rights.
"The defeat is just one move. Ji He and I entered the palace, and I prayed and Qiu Mo waited here." Ji Yaoyun's face was serious: "If something happens in the palace... Qiu Mo, you can listen to Ji Chen's orders..."
"Yes!"
"Ji He..." Qi Pan was a little worried, her heart beating violently.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, but there is nothing I can do. I hope that I don’t want to get off my hind legs, and all the reluctance and unbearableness will turn into a firm hug: "Ji He will come back soon..."
"Wait for me." Shan Jihe lowered his head and kissed Qipan's lips forcefully: "You stay with Qiu Mo, if the prime minister jumps over the wall in a hurry, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, so you have to be extremely careful."
"I hope I know, Ji He can rest assured."
On the way to the palace, Shan Jihe and Ji Yaozhi kept the people and country of the court on the empress without saying a word. If this was done in the past, they would never have made such a bad move.
"The lord and the general can rest assured." Granny Heyue's tone was flat: "This old slave often thinks, God told this old slave to live for so long, but did he really ask him to take the secret away?...Now that I think about it, God Keeping the old slave alive is to ask the old slave to help the prince."
"The queen is ruthless..."
"My lord, you don't know..." Granny He Yue smiled and shook her head: "The empress is a woman after all, and her own flesh and blood that was conceived in October can be strangled to death... Dare I ask my lord, is it possible for a mother to bear it?"
"Grandma's words?"
"I remember that when the Empress was pregnant, she didn't even want to step on an ant. She said she wanted to feed the child Kidd in her womb. The Empress was originally very innocent... It's just that the people in the palace are sinister. If you want to live... oh , look at the mouth of this old slave..."
"Grandma, but it's okay to say." Shan Jihe said.
Granny He Yue shook her head, avoiding the conversation: "The way to enter the palace...is still the same."
Ji Yaoyun nodded: "This king also looked like this when he left the palace four years ago."
"The one who should come will always come, but the prince... This old slave usually goes to the nunnery outside the city to eat fast and chant Buddha..."
"Nun's nunnery?" Ji Yaoyun was taken aback, his face obviously changed.
"Miss Wanying, you often talk about the prince with this old slave."
"Prince?" Shan Jihe on the side said in surprise: "Grandma Heyue said it, but it was the prince, not Brother Jichen?"
"The old slave is old, but he is not deaf and blind, and he will not remember wrongly."
"My lord... this..." Shan Jihe turned his head to Ji Yaoyun, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why does Wanying..."
Who would have thought that Ji Yaoyun laughed twice, not as nervous as before: "Wanying and I really hit it off."
"what?"
"Father originally promised me...that after the prime minister's affairs, I would take Wanying away..." Ji Yaoyun stretched out his hand and patted Shan Jihe's shoulder a few times: "Ji Chen and Wanying are married, and it is also the father's marriage. The emperor's plan is to plan, let the prime minister put down his guard..."
Shan Jihe was so startled that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "So..."
Knowing what Shan Jihe was thinking, Ji Yaozhi nodded: "The matter of the mother and concubine, the matter of Wanying... even the matter of Ji Chen's going to Yucheng... are all done by the father... to make the prime minister take it lightly, Let Yao Zhi smoothly sit on the crown prince."
Hearing the news from the palace that Ji Yaoyun was going to enter the palace, the emperor ordered Eunuch Lu Xi to wait for him early on.
The news Granny Heyue found has not been disclosed yet, and the prime minister doesn't know about it at the moment, and they have to rush into the palace to confront the queen before the prime minister gets the news.
The Kunning Palace was very quiet, and from time to time, I could only watch some maidservants walk by in small steps. Taking advantage of no one's suggestion, Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe followed Eunuch Lu Xi, walking quickly.
"Dare to ask Eunuch, Your Majesty..."
"Our house is ready, don't worry, the lord and the general." Eunuch Lu Xi took small steps, turned his head and saw a man with the appearance of a slave passing by, and hurriedly stopped him: "Just now, the empress ordered someone to go. Your Majesty, why haven't you invited him yet?"
The servant who was stopped had a dull expression on his face. After looking at Eunuch Lu Xi and Ji Yaoyun, he panicked and wanted to kneel down: "Slave..."
"Hurry up and invite the emperor to come here. Don't forget...not to show off."
"Yes!" The slave gave the order and hurried away.
Seeing that there was no shadow, Eunuch Lu Xi said with a blessing, "The empress is in Kunning Palace today, the prince and the general came with the old slave."
Granny He Yue lowered her head and followed behind them with great effort, and she didn't stop until she reached the main hall of Kunning Palace.
"Eunuch Lu Xi?" A maid happened to come out with a white jade teapot, looked at Eunuch Lu Xi and asked in surprise.
"Is the queen in there?"
The servant girl didn't know, seeing that Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe were both there, she was a little scared, she didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly replied: "Go back to Eunuch, it's inside."
"Take me in." Ji Yaoyun said sharply.
The maid shivered while holding the white jade teapot, then bent down and went in again.
Listening to want to move, the queen who closed her eyes and pretended to sleep on the phoenix chair frowned, opened her eyes and was about to reprimand loudly, but saw Ji Yaoyun.
"You!" The queen stood up abruptly, pointed at Ji Yaoyun a little excitedly: "Why are you here?"
"Queen..." Ji Yaoyun narrowed his eyes, trying to see a hole in the queen.
"And you!" The queen pointed her finger at Shan Jihe again, and asked sharply, "Who allowed you to come into this Kunning Palace!"
"Empress Empress..." Eunuch Lu Xi said slowly with a sharp voice, "The Emperor called our family to come and said that he has something important to say to Empress Empress."
"Your majesty?" The queen frowned, with doubts on her face.
"This old slave sees the empress." Granny He Yue, who was behind Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe, knelt down slightly tremblingly, and made a big salute.
"who are you?"
"Empress Empress... This old slave is Heyue, the servant girl who served Empress Empress..."
"Heyue...?" The queen frowned.
"On the day the empress gave birth, the old slave was by her side."
The author has something to say: I have been busy these two days, driving test and part-time job... I am so sorry, the article is coming to an end, thank you for waiting~
☆, surround
The queen's gorgeous clothes showed nobility, but now she was frowning in doubt, staring at the faces of Grandma He Yue and Shan Jihe.
Maybe Granny Heyue is an inconspicuous character, the queen hesitated after thinking for a while before asking: "Are you... the court lady who knew how to make cakes back then?"
"Returning to Empress, that's right." Granny He Yue said respectfully.
"Bold servant girl, escaped from the palace privately, let me punish you!" The queen snapped, "Who dared to come back today?"
"Empress, I brought the lady of Heyue here today, and I have something to say." Ji Yaoyun no longer wanted to hear the empress deal with such trivial matters, and changed his words: "I think the empress also knows about the death of Princess Yasukuni... I will take over now."
"You don't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, do you?" The queen smiled disdainfully, and said confidently: "Then you are looking for the wrong place."
"Miss Heyue, tell me everything you know." Ji Yaoyun turned his head, not continuing to look at the queen.
Shan Jihe frowned, his heart pounding.
Eunuch Lu Xi looked back, turned around and stood beside Shan Jihe, just blocking the Queen's realization.
Granny He Yue gave the order, she didn't dare to be negligent, she knelt on the ground and told the whole story clearly word by word.
From disdain to shock in the queen's eyes, Ji Yaoyun and the others understood it in their hearts.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The queen became a little hysterical, and shouted angrily: "Come on! Pull this nonsense bastard down to Ben Gong!"
Granny He Yue was not afraid, she just shook her head slightly and said softly: "Empress Empress, this old slave has been hiding outside the palace for decades, why would he enter the palace to talk nonsense and seek death?"
"My son is the emperor's dragon species. What kind of intention do you have to come here to make trouble!"
The queen couldn't listen, but her whole body was shaking violently.
Ji Yaoyun gave Shan Jihe a wink, and said persistently: "Queen, do you know why this king went to Yucheng?"
"I don't want to know!" The queen waved her hands, took two steps back, and said in a panic, "Back off!"
But Ji Yaoyun didn't pay attention to it, and said in a deep and cold voice: "Do you still remember the matter of the mother and concubine? It was just that the father ordered someone to set up a game... You know, the girl from the Heyue Palace is in Yucheng, and the father is the emperor. But taking advantage of the mother and concubine's affairs, it's just an excuse to transfer the king to Yucheng!"
The queen raised her head in disbelief, and sat slumped on the phoenix chair behind her, it seemed that she hadn't recovered from Granny Heyue's words.
"Impossible..." The queen muttered a few words, shook her head and said, "Impossible...Father..."
"The queen's younger sister Wanying... is the prime minister's involvement... Do you know these queens well?" Ji Yaoyun said with a little hatred at the second place, saying that the tiger was naturally a lot more ruthless: "You know, the prime minister gave you the queen's The seat, something must be taken from you! You are like Wanying, what is the difference?"
"Shut up!" The queen's eyes were slightly red, and she stared at Ji Yaoyun stubbornly: "I am very different from that Wanying! She is just born to a concubine, and she deserves it!"
Ji Yaoyun sneered: "You are pregnant with a princess, which is a stumbling block for the prime minister...the midwife who died violently on the street...does the queen know?"
"..." The queen's hand tightly grasped the handle of the phoenix chair, her eyes became a little dull.
The words of Ji Yaoyun and others seemed to tear her into pieces, which caught the queen by surprise.
All kinds of unbelievable words made the queen feel overwhelmed for a long time.
"...The child of this Palace..."
"Going back to Empress, this old slave will not be mistaken, but the Prime Minister strangled him to death." Granny He Yue couldn't bear to watch.
She is a woman, so she naturally knows the empress's pain at the moment.
"Impossible... Impossible..." The empress had a mournful face, but she laughed again for a moment: "Don't want to be in front of me..."
"Empress Empress..." Granny He Yue crawled up to the Empress with all her strength, kowtowed and said, "Empress Empress, the current seven princes are just a boy brought from outside the city by the Prime Minister!"
"...Why is this happening! Why are you doing this to me!" The queen yelled a few times at the top of her lungs, and she fell down from the phoenix chair completely powerless.
Ji Yaoyun sighed and turned his back.
"Why is this...it's just that the prime minister wants to sit on the world."
The queen kept shaking her head, her faith in her heart was shattered.
She originally thought that when her son took the crown prince and her step-son ascended the throne, she would be able to be her empress dowager with peace of mind, but she didn't want...everything would be a mess.
It's shameful that her own father can use her like this.
"The emperor is here!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Eunuch Lu Xi hurriedly shouted.
Everyone looked up and looked outside the door.
I saw Ji Yong striding in with a gloomy face.
"... Your majesty..." The queen trembled all over, very frightened.
I don't know how much the emperor listened to the words just now.
"Queen, I ask you, the matter of Princess Jingguo is related to the prime minister?"
The Queen's eyes widened, she opened her mouth and was speechless.
Ji Yong's expression was displeased, his eyes were very cold: "Say!"
"My majesty, please forgive me, my concubine doesn't know..."
"I don't know?" Ji Yong raised his tone and kicked the queen away: "Strangle my princess to death with my own hands, use a fake trick to play with me, and even collude with other countries to seek power and usurp the throne! Heinous, I will not punish you. Let go of the hatred in your heart!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The Empress hugged Ji Yong's legs, crying and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, my concubines were also kept in the dark, Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"If you want to live...then tell me the truth, did the prime minister collude with another country? Do you intend to rebel?" Ji Yong lowered his head and asked clearly every word.
The queen closed her eyes, she was out of breath from crying, her clothes were already messed up, and she no longer looked like a mother.
Knowing that today's death penalty is inevitable, the queen simply went all out.
"Yes...Princess Yasukuni is not dead, she is at the station outside the city right now." The queen let go of Ji Yong, slumped on the ground, her eyes became a little wandering: "...have pity on me..."
Ji Yong frowned, looked at the empress who looked a bit wrong, and slowed down his tone: "Wanru..."
The queen was taken aback, looked up at Ji Yong with surprise on his face, trembled for a moment before bursting into tears, which made people feel heartbroken: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not called a concubine by name for 20 years..."
After all, the queen is a woman who wants to please her husband. In the depths of the harem, it is natural to let go of something after gaining power.
Ji Yong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then he said firmly to Eunuch Lu Xi who was standing beside him: "From now on, the queen will be thrown into limbo, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my will."
The queen lowered her head and sobbed, unable to see her face clearly.
Ji Yong turned his head to one side, and continued: "Give Ji Yaojiang a cup of red on the top of the crane."
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Lu Xi was taken aback.
"It's just destiny." Ji Yong sighed, and walked out: "He has replaced my princess for decades and lived well, so it's time to accompany my princess."
Seeing Ji Yong walking away, Eunuch Lu Xi, who had recovered his senses, hurriedly chased him out.
Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jihe in Kunning Palace looked at each other and were about to leave, but they didn't want to be stopped by Granny Heyue.
"This old slave can't live for a few more days. If I could tell this secret... Right now, I just want to serve the empress to make amends... I also ask the prince to make it happen."
Looking at Granny Heyue on the ground, Ji Yaoyun couldn't bear it, waved his hands and stopped talking.
"Thank you, Lord."
The news that the queen was imprisoned in the cold palace soon spread, and the prime minister in the prime minister's mansion was restless, and couldn't even wait for three days, so they sent someone to contact Yu Zhang.
Li Meng was still waiting for the news outside the city, there was only one day left before the three-day agreement, and he was thinking about whether to send someone to the city to urge him, when he saw a soldier ran into the camp in a panic.
"Why panic!" Li Meng put down his glass and asked sharply.
The soldier was sweating profusely, fell to the ground, gasped for breath and replied loudly: "Back to the general...Princess, the princess was..."
"What's wrong with the princess!" Li Meng stood up abruptly, and couldn't care less about knocking over the table: "But what happened?"
"General... the princess was approached in the palace of the court!"
"What?" Li Meng turned pale with shock, grabbed the sword on the table and strode out of the camp.
Jiang walked outside, but before he regained his senses, someone held a sharp sword to his throat, making it impossible to move an inch.
"Who are you?" Li Meng was not afraid, but he still didn't dare to be careless. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, he couldn't remember who it was.
"The general of the next dynasty, Shan Jichen, I don't know if General Li Meng has heard of it." Shan Jichen smiled and looked at Li Meng coldly.
Li Meng trembled when Shan Jichen stared at him, and thought for a while before he remembered: "It's not Shan Jihe's brother!"
"The general really has a good memory." Shan Jichen sneered, put his sword against Li Meng, and forced him to retreat.
Li Meng rolled his eyes, and was about to call someone over, but found that the soldiers guarding outside the camp were gone.
"Your people told me to invite you to the palace... General, can you follow me next time?"
