When Xing Yan found Xiao Zhijin, he was having dinner with Mo Yichi in a restaurant, considering the status of Wei Ling's pro-lord, Xing Yan could only pretend to be a servant of the Prince's Mansion, and hurried in.

It was about the identity of the second prince, Xing Yan didn't dare to let Mo Yanchi know, so he whispered to Xiao Zhiquan: "Master, I have something urgent, please move."

Xiao Zhijin never hides things from Mo Yanchi, it's impossible for the subordinates not to know, but now Xing Yan dare not tell Mo Yanchi in front of him, it seems to be a big deal.Xiao Zhi cast a glance at Mo Yanchi, waiting for his answer.

"Let's go first if you have something to do, I'll go back home later." Mo Yanchi said indifferently.

Xiao Zhijin nodded, took the person away, turned around after walking for a certain distance, and made sure that Mo Yanchi was fine, and then let Xing Yan speak.

"Master, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao have come to Beijing! They brought the tokens of the previous empress to Emperor Hongzhi and said that you are the real second prince." Xing Yan's face was very ugly.

"What!" Xiao Zhi was astonished.

"General Wei Ling didn't expect this matter. It stands to reason that someone should have reported the two elders entering Beijing long ago, but until now there is still no news." Xing Yan said solemnly.

Dai Yan.

Without even doubting, Xiao Zhijin confirmed that it was Dai Yan who did it. He is the only one who can compete with General Wei Ling in this world.This matter was Xiao Zhi's carelessness, he only cared about the middle of the capital, but forgot about Wangxiang Terrace, which is thousands of miles away.

It's just that Xiao's father and Xiao's mother have always been guarded by General Wei Ling, so there was no serious problem, but they didn't want to let Dai Yan succeed and brought him to Beijing.A trace of hatred flashed across Xiao Zhijian's eyes, and he said, "Don't let the Second Prince know about this beforehand."

Xing Yan said: "Yes, but I'm afraid it won't last long."

Some people want to change the identities of Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi, tokens are one, and rumors are two, once such rumors spread among the people, Mo Yichi's status will be in jeopardy.

At that time, Xiao Zhijuan will be in power, and people with aspirations will find an opportunity to sow discord, and they will never tire of delaying their hatred. If they deal with Xiao Zhijuan, all their previous achievements will come to naught.

Xiao Zhijin obviously understands this truth, but he has already entered the palace, so he can only take one step at a time.As for Mo Yanchi, whether he believes it or not, it is up to him, Xiao Zhi will prove everything with time.

"How long can you keep it a secret? You send someone to wait at the gate of the palace. After seeing my parents, take them to the second prince's mansion. Don't let anyone get in touch." Xiao Zhi tried his best to calm down, and now the situation has changed. , if he messed up, everything would really be gone.

Xiao Zhijin sent someone to inquire long before, and after Mo Yanchi was picked up, Emperor Hongzhi did not have a blood test, and only confirmed his identity with a face that was exactly the same as that of the previous empress.Many ministers in the DPRK had met the former empress, so naturally they had no objection, but now they have become the handle to defeat Mo Yachi.

He only hated Dai Yan for being too quiet, avoiding General Wei Ling's eyes and ears to involve Xiao's father and Xiao's mother.

Xiao Zhi was one head and two big, he looked at the long street, suddenly a little dazed, but it was only for a moment, and he couldn't turn his head when he got to this step.

Seeing him contemplating, Xing Yan didn't bother him without saying a word, and left to pick up Xiao's father and mother. If there was something urgent, Xiao Zhijin would let him know.

There were people coming and going on the long street, Xiao Zhi didn't stay for long, and walked back to the second prince's mansion. He thought while walking, but he couldn't think of a perfect plan when he reached the gate of the second prince's mansion.

He was about to enter the door when someone stopped him from behind: "Master Xiao, please stay."

Xiao Zhijin looked back, and it was Eunuch Li who was beside Emperor Hongzhi.He inquired about the purpose of his visit, and it turned out that Emperor Hongzhi had summoned him to the palace to have an audience.

"Do you know what's going on?" Xiao Zhijin asked.

Eunuch Li gave a shy smile, not daring to say more, and said, "Master Xiao, please, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

It seems that it has something to do with the "Second Prince".

Xiao Zhi was not sure what Emperor Hongzhi meant, so he had no choice but to get in the carriage prepared by Eunuch Li and drive directly to the palace.

……

Emperor Hongzhi was waiting for Xiao Zhijin in the imperial study, and the attendants in the palace bowed their heads and said nothing, but they could see from Emperor Hongzhi's actions that he was very anxious.Thousands of state affairs have never made this emperor frown, and the situation in front of him stumped him.

Xiao Zhijin could feel the oppressive atmosphere when he walked into the imperial study room, and he asked after Eunuch Li shunned the palace people, "I don't know why your Majesty summoned the ministers here?"

"You come forward." Emperor Hongzhi looked complicated, handed the collar in his hand to Xiao Zhijin, and said, "Can you recognize this thing?"

The collar in front of him was radiant and eye-catching, but Xiao Zhijin didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, he shook his head and said, "I don't know it."

This item is obviously belonging to a noblewoman, no matter what the reason is, it is not what the Xiao family should have, but it happened to appear on Xiao Zhijin who is about the same age as Mo Yichi.

Emperor Hongzhi was not confused, he had been with him day and night for three years, it was impossible for him to mistake his child, and Mo Yichi was indeed the undisputed prince.But the special envoy brought someone here, and Mo Yichi's identity was suspected. If he succeeds to the Great Reign in the future, he will inevitably be criticized by others.

What's more, Emperor Hongzhi didn't know how much Xiao Zhijin participated in this matter.I thought Xiao Zhijin would be Mo Yichi's help, but I didn't expect it to be a tiger.

Xiao Zhijin sensed Emperor Hongzhi's killing intent, but he was relieved, Emperor Hongzhi still believed that it would be too late.

He was frank and frank, and Emperor Hongzhi only felt that this person had deep plans, and he had no flaws at all.He said in a deep voice, "This circle was brought into the palace by your parents and they said it was yours."

"Have my parents entered the capital yet?" Xiao Zhi asked in astonishment, and at the same time told Emperor Hongzhi that he didn't know about it, and would not even become a threat to Mo Yanchi.

Emperor Hongzhi did not let go of his guard: "This was prepared by the former empress for the second prince, why did it happen to you?"

"I don't know." Xiao knew everything.

"You don't know?"

"I really don't know, but when I was young, when I went to play with the Second Prince, I saw the novelty and took it home." Xiao Zhijin explained that no matter how Hongzhi asked him, he never let go.

The appearance of the collar was something that neither of them wanted to see. One was a father and the other was a friend. They both worked out their hearts and souls for the sake of not being too late, so they were not willing to do anything to hurt him.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Zhijin suspiciously, and sighed after a long while: "Forget it, you can go back."

"Yes." Xiao Zhijin nodded and retreated. When he walked outside, he couldn't help but turn back and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Prince is your own flesh and blood. I hope His Majesty can trust him."

Emperor Hongzhi grieved, and waved his hand to let him go.

There are many people in the imperial study room, even though Eunuch Li repeatedly told the palace people not to talk nonsense, some bad rumors spread in the afternoon.

In the beginning, it was the two court ladies who served the imperial court, and then it spread to other palaces. The rumors and rumors were like a sickness.

Even the emperor can't control it, let alone people outside the palace.Not long after, someone spread that Mo Yichi was a fake prince, and the real prince was Xiao Zhijin, the champion of the new discipline.

Compared to Mo Yichi, who has been unknown all this time, Xiao Zhijin is unparalleled in talent, beautiful in appearance, and indeed has the demeanor of a prince.It has been 15 years since the first empress passed away, and many people have long forgotten her, even her eyebrows and eyes. People in the palace say that she looks like the first empress, but the common people don't think so.

The Empress Xian was too far away from them, so it was not as good as Xiao Zhijin who was in front of them.They have no malice, nor have their own opinions. If someone speaks a little, they will fall over like weeds on the wall, and they will flock to things they don't know.

But water can carry a boat and capsize it. Only those who can win the hearts of the people will truly win the world. A prince who is not recognized by the people, no matter how pure his blood is, he is still a fake.

Xiao Zhijin is well aware of this truth, he ordered people to find out the source of the rumors, on the other hand, he returned to Mo Yichi's side like a normal person, and played with him.

After getting along for several months, even though Xiao Zhijin had disguised himself very well, Mo Yichi could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind, and he didn't want to ask more, but the complex meaning in his eyes made him inexplicably worried.

He snatched back the sunspot in Xiao Zhijin's hand and said, "No more, you have something on your mind."

"No." Xiao Zhi tried his best to snatch back the black pieces, pretending to be indifferent, and dropped the black pieces on the chessboard, but it was a dead end.

Even though there were countless chances to survive, Xiao Zhijin plunged into a dead end, forcing himself to become stronger with desperation.

Mo Yanchi broke up the chessboard and said angrily, "No more, no more, what's the matter with you?"

"Chi'er, no matter what happens, you have to trust me, I won't hurt you."

Xiao Zhijin spoke so solemnly that even Mo Yanchi didn't dare to smile playfully, so he suppressed his smile, nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I believe you."

"In the future, you have to grow up, and I can't help you all the time." When Mo Yichi takes over the throne, he will disappear, and he will definitely not become a stumbling block for him.

Mo Yanchi was puzzled, suddenly remembered the matter of General Wei Ling, he whispered: "Is it true that Wei Ling will be returned to the emperor?"

He spoke mysteriously, making Xiao Zhijin laugh, Xiao Zhijin stretched out his hand and flicked his head, saying: "I have to pay it back, but not now."

Xiao Zhi wanted to find out the truth about Dai Yan and Xian Empress, so as not to disappoint His Royal Highness Xian Wang's entrustment.

"Then what are you worried about?" Mo Yanchi took the herbal tea from the maid and drank it down.The herbal tea has been chilled, but because the chilling time is not long, only the porcelain bowl is still cool, and the tea in the bowl is still warm, and it is only after the last sip that I feel the coolness.

Xiao Zhijin also took a bowl, didn't drink it, put it on the table and let it get cold before reheating it.

Just like what Xing Yan said, this matter can't be kept secret for long, and all the rumors and gossips will flood the sky tomorrow morning, Dai Yan will naturally not let go of any chance to make the two turn against each other.

Xiao Zhi glanced at him, still silent.He wanted to take a gamble to see if Mo Yanchi would trust him in the face of threats to his position of power.

The next day, Mo Yichi got into the carriage with Xiao Zhijin, and rushed to the palace to pay court, perhaps because he didn't sleep all night, Xiao Zhijin's face was pale and bloodless.No matter what Mo Yanchi asked along the way, he remained silent.
