A few people finished their meal in a row, moved the tea set and chatted in the pavilion, the time to get together with friends is always fast, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wan was thinking about going to the general's mansion, so she didn't stay for dinner, and left early .

When Jiang Wan came, it was upright, and it was the same when she left. Xiao Zhijin didn't come out to see someone off. She walked out alone, thinking that Zhu Qiming's people might be staring at her, so she stopped laughing and stared inwardly. , and then leave.

After learning about this, Xiao Zhi understood her intentions, but he still laughed so hard that he fell into Mo Yanchi's arms.

It was not too late, Jiang Wan returned to her mansion first, changed into a dark dress, and went to find Zhu Qiming after a little dinner.

Not long after Zhu Qiming finished his meal, he was listening to his subordinates report on Jiang Wan's performance in the Zhuangyuan Mansion. As Jiang Wan expected, that glance made Zhu Qiming's doubts disappear a lot.When he heard Jiang Wan coming, he ordered someone to change his clothes, and went out.

Jiang Wan was waiting in the carriage, and as soon as Zhu Qiming got into the carriage, he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, Xiao Zhijin is really soft-hearted, I just said a few words, and he believed it was true."

Zhu Qiming was a little surprised, "Oh? How do you tell him?"

Jiang Wan showed embarrassment, and scratched her head not to speak.

He was able to regain Xiao Zhijin's trust because he stepped on Zhu Qiming and praised him. Zhu Qiming just asked casually, and if she didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

Jiang Wan glanced at it and changed the subject: "Your Highness, are you going to discuss forcing the palace later?"

"Well, keep your voice down," Zhu Qiming said.

"Yes. But Your Highness, since you want to guard against Mr. Yin, why don't you just drive him out of the First Prince's Mansion, leaving a danger around you for nothing," Jiang Wan said.

Zhu Qiming sighed, "He belongs to the mother and concubine, so I can't move him."

Just as Jiang Wan was about to speak, she suddenly leaned out of the car and stared around, very vigilant.

"what happened?"

Jiang Wan shook her head, and said: "Xu is the minister's illusion. Since the prince's residence came, someone has been following him."

Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, his face became ugly, he gritted his teeth and said: "This king bears with him, but he keeps doing it again and again, it's really deceiving people too much."

Jiang Wan, who succeeded in the test, secretly pulled out a smile, and then panicked: "Is it Xiao Zhijin? He has been following His Highness?"

"No...it's Mr. Yin." Zhu Qiming clenched his fists, "It seems that I can't go to Nie's house today."

"Your Highness, you don't have to care about other people's opinions when you go to visit your grandfather." Jiang Wan said loudly on purpose, and then whispered into Zhu Qiming's ear: "Your Highness, if you can hide once, you won't be able to hide forever. This time, let's talk to Nie Cheng first. When the specific time comes, I can ask the minister to send a message, after all, it is too late for Mr. Yin to stare at His Highness, so he will not notice me."

Zhu Qiming felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the weirdness about Jiang Wan's sincere eyes.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Nie Cheng was already waiting outside. When he saw the carriage stopped, he hurried up to meet him, "I see your Highness..."

Zhu Qiming got out of the carriage, helped him up, and said, "Grandfather, you don't need to be polite."

Nie Cheng straightened up, saw Jiang Wan standing behind Zhu Qiming, and nodded his greetings to her, without any intention of being wary.Xu Shi had the same blood, and Nie Cheng accepted Jiang Wan faster than expected.

Zhu Qiming came to the General's Mansion to post in advance, which did not mention the purpose of coming here. Nie Cheng was confused and asked as he walked, "I don't know why Your Highness came here late at night?"

"Go in and talk." Zhu Qiming said.

He looked serious, and Nie Cheng didn't dare to slack off. He brought them into the mansion and ordered people to guard the study to ensure that there were no ears behind the partition wall. Then he asked again.

Zhu Qiming glanced at Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan understood and spoke in a low voice.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi appeared in the palace, it was still early, they got off the carriage at the gate of the palace and walked inside.

The palace wall is towering and majestic, and it seems that you can't see the edge when you look up. The morning light sprinkles on the top of the wall, adding a bit of warmth to the cold city wall.

Mo Yichi had never walked this road so easily before, he stretched out his hand to caress the rough palace wall, and said softly: "It's amazing, it's the first time I feel that this road has an end."

Xiao Zhijin grabbed his other hand, put it on the palm and squeezed it, "I will accompany you to every place in this palace from now on, okay?"

"It's not good." Mo Yanchi pulled out his hand abruptly, Xiao Zhijin was startled by his action, and before he could ask any questions, he heard him complain: "This palace is so big, I don't know if I will be able to leave in this life." It's over."

Xiao Zhijin's heart was scratched, and he took his hand again, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and said: "There is still the next life, the next life, it will always be over."

Mo Yichi, whose thoughts were seen through, didn't feel embarrassed, and followed Xiao Zhijin's movements, grabbing his chin with one hand, as if declaring, "In the next life, in the next life, you will come to me."

Xiao Zhijin raised his three fingers and nodded solemnly, but his mouth was pinched and pouted, looking a little ridiculous.

His Highness Mo couldn't bear Xiao Zhuangyuan's handsome face to be ruined by his subordinates, so he pinched it and let go, sighing: "We haven't reached the crown yet, what do you want to go so far?"

"Left and right are innocent." Xiao Zhijin raised his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

There is no need to go to court today, Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised by the arrival of the two, especially when he saw Xiao Zhijin talking and laughing with Mo Yichi, he was even more panicked.

"What are you doing here?" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily.

Mo Yanchi waved his hand to let the palace servants back down, and asked in a low voice, "Father, do you know that the former crown prince Dai Yan?"

He spoke softly, but Emperor Hongzhi slammed the table like a lightning strike and said, "Who are you talking about?"

"Prince of the previous dynasty, on behalf of Yan." Mo Yanchi repeated.

"How could I not know." Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth, his voice was full of hatred, "It was he... who caused your mother to have a difficult delivery."

"I know this, so I've come here to ask my father to help me and catch Dai Yan!" Mo Yanchi said, and knelt down on his knees, as if Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to kneel for a long time if he refused to agree.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you know where he is?"

Xiao Zhi nodded and said: "I know, and I suspect that he is inextricably linked with Concubine Jing."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Xiao Zhijin, and said, "Although the Nie family is proud of their contributions, it is absolutely impossible to collude with those from the previous dynasty."

It was not unreasonable for Emperor Hongzhi to be angry. The Nie family contributed a lot to the extermination of the former dynasty. As far as the former dynasty was concerned, he was a sinner through the ages.

Xiao Zhijin didn't refute Emperor Hongzhi's words, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I didn't mention the Nie family."

"What's the difference between Concubine Jing and the Nie family?"

Mo Yanchi asked back: "Father, how do you confirm that that person is Concubine Jing?"

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded by his question. His first reaction was that Concubine Jing had been replaced, but she was only called to bed yesterday, and her words and deeds were the same as in the past. attempt.

"what are you saying?"

"The matter of Concubine Jing needs to be discussed by Jiang Zhiwan himself. My son came here this time to talk to his father about Dai Yan." Mo Yanchi said.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and said, "Get up first and then talk."

"Father, on the day when I canonize my son as the crown prince, the emperor's brother will raise troops to force the palace. The son wants to ask the father to be 'impatient', unable to defend against the enemy, and is cornered by the emperor's brother." After Mo Yanchi finished speaking, he knocked heavily. He turned his head, and the sound lingered for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi had proclaimed himself emperor for more than ten years, and he thought he had never seen anything unusual, but he was still shocked countless times today, and he hadn't recovered from the matter of Concubine Jing, so Mo Yichi said such an outrageous thing.

No matter how much he loved Mo Yanchi in his heart, Emperor Hongzhi still couldn't help being angry, and said: "Chi'er, do you know what you are talking about?"

Mo Yanchi had already expected such a result, and there was Xiao Zhijin behind him, so he was not afraid, he said: "I know, it's only the father, now the only way is this way, it is possible to attract Dai Yan to avenge the queen mother."

"Presumptuous! To avenge your mother, can you frame your siblings?" Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that his eyes turned red, he shook his hands and questioned Mo Yanchi.

Mo Yanchi was stung by the word "siblings", he raised his head and looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and said indifferently: "When he framed me, why did he ever think that we are siblings?"

His face was calm, but his eyes were full of hatred. Emperor Hongzhi was terrified, and only then did he realize that Mo Yanchi had been holding grudges all the time for the past three years.His anger was extinguished by his eyes, Emperor Hongzhi fell down on the dragon chair, and said helplessly: "Then you can't frame elder brother like this..."

"Father, my son doesn't want his life, but just wants to use his hands to get rid of Dai Yan." Mo Yanchi lowered his eyes, and said in a helpless tone, "If you repay grievances with grievances, what's the difference between me and him?"

Xiao Zhijin knelt with him, and clearly saw that Mo Yanchi's drooping eyes had no trace of worry, which had long been replaced by hatred. He sighed silently, the matter of Liu Qi had changed Mo Yanchi.

Mo Yanchi's words and deeds have not changed, but Xiao Zhijin, who has been with him day and night, has already discovered something is wrong, but Mo Yanchi has his own sense of propriety, so he didn't speak up.

Emperor Hongzhi loved his son deeply, but he would never allow himself to express his love for the calf in this way. He sat on the dragon chair and looked at Mo Yanchi coldly, "Chier, I can't promise you this matter." .”

"Royal father... Have you forgotten how the queen mother died? And Dai Yan has harmed my people countless times, so let him go unpunished?" Mo Yanchi said with red eyes, I don't know if he was angry or really sad up.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his face away from him, and waved his hands to let the two of them leave.Emperor Hongzhi and the Xianwang brothers were in harmony, and never planned to harm each other, but Emperor Hongzhi was used to the warmth and coldness of people, so it was not too late, and he did not believe that he would let Zhu Qiming go easily.

He sighed, it was Zhu Qiming's sins in the past few years, otherwise how could Mo Yanchi be forced to such a point.

"Father... I beseech you, Father." As Mo Yanchi said, he kowtowed three more times, and his smooth and fair forehead suddenly turned red.
