admiration

Mo Yanchi cried for a while, it seemed that he was much better before, but he would still wake up from the dream, but every time he woke up, Xiao Zhijin would always hug him and comfort him softly, which made him feel better.

The two of them kept silent about Mo Jiao's matter, as if this person had never existed before, but Xiao Zhijin always felt that Mo Yanchi already knew the news of her death, so he just avoided it blindly.

Mo Yanchi seemed to be a normal person, knowing that the kidnapping was related to Dai Yan, so he tried his best to catch him.It's just that Xiao Zhijin got nothing after dealing with him for so long, let alone him.

This day the two were discussing matters in the house, suddenly a decree came from the palace, calling Xiao Zhijin into the palace.The person who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Li. After reading the oral order, he whispered to Xiao Zhizhi: "Your Majesty wants to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Xiao Zhi knew it all, and after asking Eunuch Li to wait for a while, he brought a man in a servant's costume over.The two looked at each other and entered the palace together.

General ministers are not allowed to bring followers into the palace, unless Emperor Hongzhi grants permission, then they can follow into the palace, Xiao Zhijin is not a precedent, and it will not attract too much attention.Most of the people in the palace knew each other without delay, so Eunuch Li took them to the path, but he didn't meet anyone along the way.

Walking to the Hall of Health Preservation, the three of them saw a woman in a fine attire walking towards them, Mo Yanchi glanced at it, and hurriedly lowered her head, it was Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing had a friendly face, she walked over with her waist twisted, and said with a smile: "Who does this Palace think His Majesty wants to see, so it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Although the imperial decree has not yet been issued, the banquet has already been held. It is understandable for Concubine Jing to call Xiao Zhijin the second prince, but Mo Yanchi behind him thought he recognized him, clenched his fists and resisted not looking up.

Eunuch Li saluted, and said: "Jin An, the imperial concubine, Your Majesty is still waiting inside, we will go in first."

"Okay." Concubine Jing nodded, and passed by Mo Yanchi, she felt that this person was a little familiar, she looked back and frowned in displeasure.

Seeing this, the maid beside her let go of her hand and left silently.

The palace servants sent away Concubine Jing who came to pay her respects, and led the two of them back in. Emperor Hongzhi was crouching in front of the case to approve the memorial, and he said without raising his head when he heard the footsteps: "Didn't I say that I didn't see anyone? "

The palace servant was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is the Second Prince who has come down."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly raised his head, his frowning brows relaxed, he smiled and asked the palace servants to retreat, and said: "Chi'er, you are here."

"See father, is there something urgent to call father at this time?" Mo Yanchi asked.

Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Xiao Zhijin, and Xiao Zhijuan thought he was going to dismiss him, so he cupped his hands and prepared to leave, but didn't want Emperor Hongzhi to stop him: "I didn't ask you to leave!"

Xiao Zhijin paused, and asked doubtfully, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Emperor Hongzhi was a little hesitant, looking back and forth between Mo Yanchi and Xiao Zhijin, but did not speak for a long time. Fortunately, the two young men in front of him had enough patience, looked at each other a few times, and waited for Emperor Hongzhi to speak.

"I called you into the palace today to discuss with you about restoring Chi'er's identity." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xiao Zhijin frowned when he heard the words, subconsciously looked at Mo Yanchi, Mo Yanchi looked calm, and smiled at him.

"What is Your Majesty going to do?" Xiao Zhijin asked, "The Second Prince was demoted to be a commoner half a month ago. Now that he is restored, it is impossible to guarantee that His Highness will not be discussed by the world."

Xiao Zhijin had already said this before, but Emperor Hongzhi insisted on going his own way, which not only didn't hurt Dai Yan at all, but also led to the current situation where riding a tiger is difficult.

"I know that the world's discussion is actually a trivial matter, and it is difficult for Ming'er to deal with now." Regarding Zhu Qiming's courtiers, Hongzhi Emperor knew it by heart, and before he found it, he preferred Zhu Qiming as the heir. , so he turned a blind eye and never uttered reprimands, not wanting to become the biggest obstacle today.

Finally, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry were replaced, and Xiao Zhijin left for a few more days. Emperor Hongzhi felt powerless and relied on Zhu Qiming to stir up the situation in the court.

The court has always been changing rapidly, and in just a few days, Zhu Qiming consolidated his position and gathered a lot of followers, which caught Emperor Hongzhi by surprise, so he called the two into the palace.

Mo Yanchi has come into contact with a lot of things in the past few days, and understands Emperor Hongzhi's scruples, so he can't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Huang really hates my son..."

He just said it casually, but Emperor Hongzhi heard it very unpleasantly, and a generation of emperors looked down, a little frustrated.

Xiao Zhijin secretly shook Mo Yichi's hand, then let go, and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to convince all the court officials."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

"Take out Du Ming."

Mo Yanchi looked puzzled, and took Du Ming out. When Emperor Hongzhi saw the emerald green flute, he said in surprise, "Du Ming is here with you."

"Yes, give me all you know." Mo Yanchi nodded.

Xian Wang seems to be cynical, but in fact he has a delicate mind and is good at observing people's hearts. The person who can make him come up with Duming must be someone he trusts extremely.Besides Du Ming's importance is known to everyone, Xiao Zhijin changed hands and gave it to Mo Yanchi, which made Emperor Hongzhi have to look up to Xiao Zhijin.

Xiao Zhijin handed Du Ming to Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "Your Majesty must know what Du Ming is, and you can order anyone in Wei Ling to be the lord of the same family. If the ministers know that Wei Ling will belong to the royal family, he will be the king of all generations. The emperor holds it, and Duming is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, how can those ministers have anything to say."

When he said this, he was actually hiding his selfishness. As long as it was proved that General Wei Ling could only be controlled by the emperor, even if Zhu Qiming gained power in the future, he would not be able to sit securely without General Wei Ling.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry to restore Mo Yichi's position as prince, so naturally he didn't hear what Xiao Zhijuan meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he agreed: "This method is feasible, but at the banquet that day, the man in white was Keep calling you to be the master."

"Xing Yan?" Mo Yanchi said.

"En." Xiao Zhijin nodded, and said to Emperor Hongzhi, "What can a single title prove?"

His understatement, like a reassurance, reassured Emperor Hongzhi a lot.In fact, Xiao Zhijin didn't say anything, if the ministers had something to say, he would ask Mingshu to prove his entry into the palace. Although the possibility is not high, there is always hope if he tries.

"Okay, then follow this method, and tomorrow I will let Eunuch Li arrange people." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xiao Zhijin didn't refute, if he let Emperor Hongzhi do it, if he was discovered later, Mo Yanchi's position would be more stable, so two birds with one stone could be achieved.

Mo Yichi listened quietly at the side, suddenly felt that the past three years had been wasted, obviously he lived in the palace and saw too many intrigues, now compared to Xiao Zhijin, he is not as good as him at all.

No wonder Mingshu always boasted that he was smart when he was young. At that time, he looked like a nerd to his peers. After a few years of growth, he has already transformed and grown.

His eyes were so hot that Xiao Zhi couldn't ignore them, so he turned his head and asked, "Does Your Highness have any advice?"

"No, it's up to you." Mo Yanchi smiled, but Emperor Hongzhi was slightly dissatisfied with his appearance of being helpless, but for the sake of Xiao Zhijin's dedication, Emperor Hongzhi still chose to believe it once.

Just as Xiao Zhijin was about to speak, he suddenly noticed something, turned around and looked outside the hall vigilantly, attracting the attention of the two of them.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yanchi asked.

Xiao Zhi regained his senses, shook his head and did not speak again.

Emperor Hongzhi was also puzzled, but he didn't ask any further. After talking to the two of them, Eunuch Li came to inform him that Minister of the Ministry of War had something urgent to report. Emperor Hongzhi asked them to leave .

Mo Yichi straightened his clothes, put on the appearance of a servant again, and followed Xiao Zhijin with his head down.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Zhijin suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Emperor Hongzhi, "Your Majesty, please beware of Concubine Jing."

After finishing speaking, Minister of the Ministry of War walked in, Xiao Zhi stopped talking, nodded with him and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at his back thoughtfully.

Leaving the palace is more leisurely than entering the palace, the two of them were not in a hurry to leave, so Mo Yichi took Xiao Zhijin to wander around the palace, in the past when Mo Yichi was alone, he would run around, and go where there are few people , the understanding of Xiaodao is more familiar than that of Eunuch Li who has stayed in the palace all his life.

The imperial palace, which everyone envied and yearned for, was so magnificent that even Xiao Zhijin had to marvel at it.It's just that apart from being amazing, it always feels extremely depressing, and it makes people uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

Mo Yichi seemed to be in a good mood, while guarding against people coming, he whispered into Xiao Zhijin's ear, talking about his joys and sorrows in the palace.

A person's joy and sorrow.

Xiao Zhijin listened quietly, and quietly took his hand, Mo Yanchi smiled even more, and spoke more vigorously.

The two walked slowly, suddenly Xiao Zhijin stopped, frowned and said, "Don't go this way."

"Why don't you leave?" Mo Yanchi asked.

Xiao Zhijin pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Seeing this road, Xiao Zhijin remembered that during the palace examination, Mo Yichi was kneeling there, his eyes were dim, looking into the distance, it seemed that he had no soul, only an empty shell.

He clenched his hand in the palm of his hand, holding on tightly, and never let go for the rest of his life.

Mo Yichi never remembered the things that made him uncomfortable, so naturally he couldn't remember everything that happened here, even if he remembered, he didn't know that Xiao Zhijin was looking at him at that time, his hand hurt from being scratched, and subconsciously He wanted to pull it out, but Xiao Zhi tried his best, but he couldn't move the slightest.

Mo Yanchi leaned over and said aggrievedly: "Brother, it hurts."

Xiao Zhi regained his senses, and hastily let go of his hand. Seeing that his hand was already red, he pulled it over and rubbed it again, saying, "I'm sorry."

Apologies for not being able to come forward that day.

Mo Yanchi waved his hand and said, "It's all right, it doesn't hurt at all."

His heartless appearance made Xiao Zhijin even more distressed, but this was in the palace, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise he would definitely embrace him and make him intimate.
