admiration

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew the purpose of Xiao Zhijin's entry into the palace, he didn't ask, and continued: "I have been on the throne for more than ten years, which spring didn't come here after going through the wind and frost, and this person is the same. Xiao Qing, these few days Chi'er has been protected by me so well over the years, so he is inevitably cowardly and ignorant, if he doesn't experience setbacks, how can he walk on this bloody road for a long time in the future?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't stop laughing, and said: "The so-called protection is too good, it's just your Majesty's wishful thinking."

Pushed into a pool, poisoned in his meals, assassinated at night, Mo Yanchi was never on the verge of death. For three years, he could not sleep peacefully and trembled, but in return he said "cowardly and ignorant". Hearing all this, he was furious.

Emperor Hongzhi used his own way to protect the child, but he didn't know that the harm caused was far less than what he saw.

Xiao Zhijin didn't lower his voice, he looked straight at Emperor Hongzhi who turned around, and continued: "Your Majesty is a king, and he has his own reasons, but it's just too late... The second prince is not a puppet, he has flesh and blood, and he has his own reasons." As for my own thoughts, if I find out about this in the future, won't Your Majesty be afraid of his chilling?"

He was too sure, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, the second prince is not as strong as you think..." Xiao Zhi stopped talking.

He thought of when he was resting with Mo Yichi, at night Mo Yanchi begged for mercy in a dream, and occasionally shed tears silently, he knew that this person was not as strong as when he was awake, the nightmare accumulated day by day, and could only be vented in the dark .

Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yanchi were the best friends, Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to doubt his words, he withdrew his confident look, and whispered: "Chi'er...would you blame me?"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense. I just beg Your Majesty to take back your will!" Xiao Zhijin clasped his fists.

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the dragon chair, looked at the memorials spread out on the table, pondered for a long time, finally sighed, and said: "You go back now, I will explain it to Chi'er in the future."

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't look up at him, but waved his hand to make people leave. Eunuch Li walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is asking to see you."

"Xuan." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xiao Zhi had no choice but to get up and leave. He just finished his ceremony when Concubine Jing from outside walked in, looking at him coldly.

Xiao Zhijin didn't look at Concubine Jing too much when he was in the Mingliang Palace, but now that he looks at her, he feels that she looks very familiar.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look twice more, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed across his face, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Jiang Wan offered to become Zhu Qiming's staff, and even started to contact the Nie family. Could it be that she was not targeting Zhu Qiming, but Concubine Jing.

Xiao Zhijin looked at Concubine Jing's extremely similar eyebrows and eyes to Jiang Wan's, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Since he couldn't stay for a long time, he could only look at it hastily and left the palace.

He came and went many times, but Eunuch Li didn't let anyone take him with him, and let him leave alone.Xiao Zhijin didn't want to stay for a long time, he rushed out of the palace, called General Wei Ling, and said: "Go and find out the origin of Concubine Jing."

"Yes."

Concubine Jing's life experience was unknown, Jiang Wan deliberately concealed it, so Xiao Zhijin didn't ask any further questions, and returned to the Second Prince's residence after giving orders.

Now that many people have been sent away from the mansion, it is convenient for Xiao Zhijin, a lot of Wei Ling generals can be stationed in a random courtyard, and the second prince's mansion is much safer because of this.

Mo Yanchi lost the shackles all over his body, saying that he would not be reconciled would be a lie, he hated the intrigues in this city, hated the people who had put him to death, but one by one, he was really powerless to take revenge one by one.

Xiao Zhijin looked up at the person sitting on the eaves, that person's eyes were deep and misty, neither sad nor happy, as if he would disappear under the bright sun in the blink of an eye.He was inexplicably panicked and jumped up, disturbing the meditating people.

Mo Yanchi was obviously frightened, he turned his head to look, and found that it was Xiao Zhijin, so he smiled and said, "Are you back?"

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhijin walked over, sat down like him, and looked at the same place, there was nothing but neatly arranged houses in the distance.

When Xiao Zhijuan didn't come, Mo Yichi often stayed here, watching the distance quietly, killing most of his time.He raised his finger and pointed to the front, and said: "Go straight here, and you will find Wangxiang Terrace."

Xiao Zhijin's heart skipped a beat, "Do you really want to visit Xiangtai?"

Mo Yanchi looked at him sideways, and said with a wry smile: "After all, that is my home. The world is wide and wide, and I can only find a place to live there."

He smiled far-fetched, Xiao Zhijin pursed his lips and remained silent, thinking about how to comfort him.On the contrary, Mo Yanchi didn't care much, Xiao Zhijin should get used to these frustrating words he often said.

Xiao Zhijin is indeed used to it, and it is precisely because of this that he tries every means to keep people, desperately suppressing his feelings, for fear of revealing the slightest bit, and scaring people further away from him.

As the night was getting late, Ye Min, who was busy up and down, came running to ask them to eat, Mo Yichi was still in a state of mind, and he stepped on the ground without checking for a while, Xiao Zhi saw him staggering, almost fell, so he stretched out his hand to catch them. Grabbing his wrist, he said, "I'll take you down."

"I can do it myself." Although Mo Yichi's martial arts skills are not as good as Xiao Zhijin's, he is still not unable to go down at this height.

Xiao Zhi turned a deaf ear to it, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and jumped down without hesitation.

Every time Mo Yanchi was touched by Xiao Zhijin, his chest would always jump non-stop. He quietly raised his head to glance at Xiao Zhijin, and murmured: "Zhijin, accompany me back to the hometown."

He spoke in such a low voice that only he could hear it, but Xiao Zhijin was so close, and his heart fell on him, that he heard it clearly.

Xiao Zhijin looked at him, not surprised, nodded and said: "Okay."

"Huh?" Mo Yanchi was stunned.

"I'll accompany you back, when do you want to leave?" Xiao Zhijin let go and asked.

Mo Yanchi just said it casually, he didn't want Xiao Zhijin to take it seriously, he planned to go back alone, but it would be nice to have more people now.

The two hit it off immediately, and after dinner they got together to discuss it, Mo Yichi had nothing to do right now, and Xiao Zhijin took Mo Yichi first, thinking about him in everything, he said that he would leave at dawn .

As Xiao Zhi is a servant, the court affairs are complicated, but Mo Yichi didn't dare to let him go immediately, "Just tidy up for two days, and leave the matter to others, so that there will be no chaos."

"It's okay, you forgot, I'm Wei Ling's pro-lord, Xing Yan will pass on any news to me." Xiao Zhijin laughed.

Mo Yanchi said: "Then father... Where is His Majesty?"

"There is no need to worry about this. If we blame it, we will end up in the end of the world and flee everywhere."

Xiao Zhi made such a joke, even Mo Yanchi couldn't help laughing, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's run away together."

There are many people in Beijing, and Mo Yanchi didn't want to be known by too many people, so he only talked to Ye Min, packed his things and waited for dawn.The night was long, but Mo Yanchi didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat on the threshold and looked at the moon quietly, looking forward to the arrival of the light.

For more than 1000 nights in the past, he often watched like this, cherishing the short-term tranquility in the dark, for fear that the moon would set and the sun would rise in the blink of an eye, and he would suffer again.

For so long, this was the only time that he felt that the night was too long, and he wished for the light of day to let him leave this world of four corners.

Mo Yanchi was very awake, and also stayed up with him.

The chess pieces played by Xiao Zhijin were intricate and complicated, and he had to explain them clearly, so as not to let him leave the capital and just look at the deaf and blind without knowing anything.

And the emperor in the palace was served by the palace people to rest, closed his eyes and fell asleep, not knowing what was waiting for him the next day.

Night is still night, when the rooster crows, it is time to abdicate and give way to the bright sun.

Mo Yanchi saw the morning light in the sky, couldn't help but curl his lips, got up and entered the house, took the pitifully small bundle with him, and went to find Xiao Zhijin.

Xiao Zhi waited outside as soon as possible, and when he saw him coming, he waved and said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The two got into the carriage and drove out of Beijing without looking back.

Mo Yanchi opened the curtain of the car, looked at the imperial city that was drifting away, obviously hated it extremely, but when he really left, he was still reluctant to part.It's just that Mo Yanchi doesn't know that one day, he will rule the world, stand on the city wall and look around. At that time, hatred is no longer important.

After all, they stayed up all night. The two young men chatted and laughed for a while, and then they couldn't stop yawning. The distance was still long. The two leaned against each other and fell asleep in the bumpy carriage.

The two left happily, but the palace was full of trouble.Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to hand over the prince's treasure book to Xiao Zhijin in the early court, but he didn't expect this person to appear, so he sent someone to inquire, only to find out that the two left Beijing for their hometown at dawn, and even Even Xiao's father and Xiao's mother never told him a thing or two.

All the officials were almost dumbfounded. As an official of the imperial court, Xiao Zhijin was too capricious.It's just that he is the prince-to-be, and Emperor Hongzhi's face is not very good, those who want to impeach him dare not speak nonsense, for fear of angering Emperor Hongzhi, the consequences will be disastrous.

To say that the happiest person is none other than Zhu Qiming.Once Xiao Zhi was gone, he could once again be in charge of the government and expand his power.

An early court ended early because of Xiao Zhijin's incident. Emperor Hongzhi was very angry with the two, and after sending people to protect him along the way, he locked himself in the imperial study and saw no one.

On the other hand, Zhu Qiming called Shang Jiang Wan after he came down to court, and they returned to the First Prince's Mansion together, unable to hide their smiles.

Jiang Wan looked at Zhu Qiming's smiling face, curled her lips and said nothing, Xiao Zhijin said in the letter to her in the morning that the two of them just went to Wangxiang Terrace and would be back soon, Zhu Qiming was obviously overjoyed up.

"Now that both of them have left, His Highness can breathe a sigh of relief." Jiang Wan congratulated.

Zhu Qiming nodded and said: "Well, when I get back to the mansion, I will discuss it with Mr. Yin."

Hearing the words "Mr. Yin", Jiang Wan couldn't help frowning. She followed Zhu Qiming, so she naturally knew that this person existed. Every time she came into contact with him, Jiang Wan resisted very much. Engrave it in my heart, I hate it when I see you again.
