admiration

Mo Yanchi held his hand tightly, and after a while he straightened up again, staring ahead, not daring to show any timidity, "It's okay, let's go back."

Ye Min didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he could only quietly help him to leave.After leaving the city gate, Ye Min couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, do we want to be bullied by the First Prince all the time?"

Mo Yanchi looked at Ye Min gloomyly, and said, "Be patient." Now that he has gained a firm foothold, he has no power or power, and if he leaves Beijing rashly, he will not be hunted down by the First Prince's people, so it is better to stay in Beijing Among them, at least he can get the protection of Emperor Hongzhi and save his life.

"Yeah." Ye Min nodded, "Go back to the servant and give His Highness another dose of medicine."

Mo Yanchi was speechless, remembering what happened yesterday.

When paying his respects yesterday, Emperor Hongzhi just praised Mo Yichi casually, and the eldest prince Zhu Qiming held a grudge, went to his mansion in the dark, and punished him in the name of being disrespectful.Zhu Qiming didn't dare to kill him directly, but he would often use some unscrupulous methods to make Mo Yanchi miserable.

Mo Yanchi stared coldly at the dangling curtain of the carriage, wondering what he was planning.Suddenly there was a gust of wind in his ears, he raised his hand one step forward, and a cold blue and white porcelain bottle fell on his hand.

He didn't open it, but lifted the curtain and looked out. Surprisingly, there was someone there, and he saw that person in white, smiling, waving at him.

"Stop!" Mo Yanchi hurriedly got out of the carriage, and when he looked there again, the man disappeared out of thin air. If the bottle in his hand was not still there, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

Ye Min was puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, go back and let someone see what's inside." Mo Yanchi handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Ye Min, and then went back to the carriage with a heavy heart.

On the other side, after Xing Yan was ordered to deliver the medicine, he returned to Xiao Zhijin's place, and asked for credit: "I successfully delivered the medicine to him, is there any reward?"

Xiao Zhijin thought about it, and said, "It really is."

Then he handed another bottle of medicine in his sleeve to Xing Yan, and said with a smile, "Throw this bottle into the well of the First Prince's Mansion."

Xing Yan's smile gradually froze, he rolled his eyes, grabbed the porcelain bottle and left, not wanting to talk to Xiao Zhijin at all.I just couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart, walked to the door, turned back, and asked, "What's in here?"

"Nothing, just a bottle of laxative."

Xiao Zhi was calm and breezy.

Jiang Wan felt a shudder down her spine, and mourned for a moment of silence for the eldest prince's mansion.If this medicine is thrown into the living well, I am afraid that the eldest prince will not be able to drink good water within a year.

……

Mo Yichi was lying on the bedside reading a book, Ye Min came in carefully holding the porcelain bottle that fell from the sky just now, and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, I have visited several pharmacies, this is the best medicine, nothing else. It is said that the medicine in it alone is hard to find in the world.”

"what?"

"Thousand-year snow lotus!"

This time Mo Yanchi couldn't understand it, out of vigilance, he asked Ye Min to put away the medicine, and he didn't intend to use it at all.

After dismissing the servants, he read the book for a while and lay down to rest.In a few days it will be the palace examination, Zhu Qiming and Emperor Hongzhi have no time to pay attention to him, just let him be free, and he can have a good rest for a few days.

In a daze, Mo Yanchi felt a chill down his spine, which eased his pain.He seemed to realize something in his drowsiness, and suddenly woke up, only to find that he couldn't move, and there was a person sitting beside him, who was smearing something on his back, because he was lying on his stomach, so he couldn't see this. In the appearance of a person, only the hand with distinct bones can be seen.

"Who are you!" Mo Yanchi said angrily.

Without saying a word, Xiao Zhijin took the same porcelain bottle that Xing Yan sent, gently poured it on Mo Yichi's back, and wiped it slowly, for fear that his hand would deepen his wound again.

Mo Yanchi realized that this person was not malicious, but anyone who woke up in the middle of the night and found that there was another person beside him couldn't calm down, let alone the servant fell beside him.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want to do?"

Xiao Zhijin's fingertips lightly slid across his bone-clear back, and his hands were particularly tight. When he left three years ago, he was still a little fleshy, but he became like this when he entered the palace.

Frowning, he took off the jade flute worn around his neck, stuffed it into Mo Yichi's hand, and said: "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can play this flute, and someone will come to help you."

Mo Yichi couldn't move his limbs, so he could only raise his head to look at the cold jade flute in his palm with difficulty. He didn't want to be stunned by this glance. He had seen this flute in a book before. Spirit general's token.And if it wasn't given by General Wei Ling, it would not be blown even if it was stolen, and General Wei Ling's whereabouts have always been unpredictable, his identity is unknown, let alone stealing, no one even knows his identity.

As an unknown second prince, Mo Yanchi had only just gained a firm foothold in the capital, but this pro-lord had long since become an existence that was feared by all corners of the country and even the court. The purpose of coming now was obviously not simple.

"What's your purpose?" Mo Yanchi asked.

Xiao Zhijin laughed lightly, but then he felt that his action was too abrupt, so he pretended to be serious, and said: "You will know later. You have to keep this Duming well, if you lose it, I will kill your whole family."

"..."

"This thing is so important, why did Master Wei Ling give it to me?" Mo Yanchi asked.

"Give whatever you want."

Mo Yanchi was speechless again, clutching the cold flute in his hand, and buried his head in the pillow.Seeing people lying on their stomachs, Xiao Zhi went over to relieve the poison, and said, "Just rest, I will come back in a while."

Mo Yanchi wanted to call someone to stop him, but unexpectedly a burst of drowsiness hit him, he tried to hold on, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The bamboo forest outside the house rustled, and the moonlight was bright and clear, printing one tree after another on the window paper, as if knocking on the window, so that the people inside the window would wake up and see the people outside the door who had been guarding the door all night.

The next day, Mo Yanchi woke up leisurely, he looked at Du Ming who had been held in his hand all night, and remembered what happened last night.

He got up and walked to the mirror, looked sideways at the injury on his back, and found that most of it had healed, he couldn't help feeling that it was really a panacea.

The night watchman in the house woke up early in the morning and waited at the door for Mo Yichi to get up. When he heard some movement in the house, he tried to knock on the door and said, "Master, are you awake?"

Mo Yanchi subconsciously tucked Du Ming into his sleeve, and lazily said: "Wake up, let's get ready for dinner."

"Yes." The servant hurried to the dining room to arrange breakfast.

But Mo Yichi walked to the door, closed the door, and tried to blow the flute. A sharp and piercing sound came from the room, and General Wei Ling who was nearby listened with his ears open, waiting for each other. Boss' order.

General Wei Ling, who was closest to the palace, thought it was his lord who had summoned him, so he put down what he was doing and hurried to the second prince's palace.

Mo Yanchi waited for a while, but found that there was no change, he suddenly felt that he was being teased by that person, looking at the finely carved jade flute in his hand, he couldn't help feeling angry, he raised his hand and wanted to smash it.

"Wait a minute!" A person behind him landed steadily, stopping Mo Yanchi just in time.

Mo Yanchi withdrew his movements, and when he turned around, he punched at the person coming.This is his habit, a habit he developed only when he was forced to do so.

The man obviously didn't expect to be attacked, he quickly dodged to avoid the blow, and asked, "Why did the master make the move?"

"Master?" Mo Yanchi stopped punching.

"This subordinate sees the master, what orders does the master have for summoning?" The man knelt on one knee, bowing his head respectfully.

Mo Yanchi looked at the ordinary man in front of him, and didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment.Du Ming can confirm that it is true, but he has no relationship or reason with the pro-lord, so there is really no reason for him to hand it over to him easily.

He tentatively asked: "Do you know who General Wei Ling's pro-lord is?"

"The subordinates know that it is only the master's order. Without his approval, no one is allowed to reveal his identity."

The implication: I know, but I don't say it.

Mo Yanchi was already looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted, but seeing that the man didn't answer, he didn't pursue it any further. Just in time, the servant came to knock on the door, so he asked people to leave.

……

Less than three days before the palace examination, Jiang Wan, who was still calm and composed, finally started to panic, and wandered around Linzhang Academy all day, unable to live in peace.

Xiao Zhijin watched her circle around the pillar with great interest at first, and then slowly said that the examiner he had bribed entered the venue even in women's clothing, and no one dared to stop him.

Regarding this, Xiao Zhijin also said that Jiang Wan could find another way to beautify her.

Jiang Wan smiled slightly, and kicked Xiao Zhijin hard to show her friendship.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly dodged, and said with a smile, "Don't you say you can get in?"

"If I can, I'm afraid of accidents." Jiang Wan said worriedly.

"It's nothing, I'll let Wei Ling arrange it properly, and I will protect you well." Xiao Zhijin said complacently, as if he had thought of a unparalleled strategy.

Xing Yan, who was returning from inquiring about the news, was so angry that he swept his foot at him, and said angrily: "You have sent Du Ming away, and you still dare to order my General Wei Ling, you fart!"

"Vulgar." Xiao Zhijin rolled his eyes, turned and went back to the room.

Jiang Wan also imitated him and rolled her eyelids, saying: "vulgar." She also walked away.

Xing Yan burst into tears.

After a while, Xiao Zhijin said in the room: "Still coming in, waiting for someone to arrest you?"

In recent days, Xing Yan has placed a lot of eyeliner in Beijing. In order to deceive people, he pretended to be a Jiangyang thief who came here, and even stole many treasures from the rich and powerful. At this time, Beijing is chasing this unpredictable thief.

Hearing this, Xing Yan sneaked into Xiao Zhijin's room in no time. He, who was still smiling, immediately turned his expression away, and knelt down and said, "Master, the eyeliner in Beijing is basically installed, and only the palace is left."

Xiao Zhijin nodded: "The palace is not in a hurry, wait until the palace has passed the test."

"Yes."

Xiao Zhijin stared at the teacup in his hand thoughtfully, and said after a while: "Let's rest well these few days, you will be busy after the imperial examination."

Xing Yan got up, nodded sullenly, and reported to him some recent events.

After Xiao Zhijin took over General Wei Ling, he asked them to inquire about the news, especially about the second prince who had just returned to the palace, and report to him if they got anything. Come find someone.

The two were discussing, when there was a loud noise outside the door, and after a while, someone knocked on the door and said: "I know, the First Prince is here, hurry up and greet him."
