When Xiao Zhijin found someone again, it was already the next morning, and he found it in his arms.

Mo Yichi was busy with work during the day, but at night when he returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, he was tossing and turning, so he simply climbed over the wall and went to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and quietly slipped into Xiao Zhijin's arms, and then fell asleep and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Zhijin sighed, and woke him up: "Chi'er, get up earlier, the Ministry of Rites will bring the prince's clothes to you to try on today, don't let him find someone."

"it is good……"

Mo Yanchi responded without moving, completely forgetting what Emperor Hongzhi warned yesterday.

"Then get up, you are all princes, why are you still so lazy."

"The spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early..."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Mo Yichi was so sleepy that he dared to say such words. Xiao Zhijin's eyes darkened, he turned over and held him down, and said in a hoarse voice against his lips: "Your Highness, We didn't do anything last night, is this implying something?"

Mo Yanchi woke up abruptly, eye-to-eye with Xiao Zhijin, and said with a guilty smile, "I was talking in my sleep."

"Thoughts by day and dreams by night, His Highness is indeed hinting."

As Xiao Zhijin spoke, his hands were not ambiguous, and he got to the point. Mo Yanchi was crushed firmly and couldn't move. He looked at the bed board and thought about it, what's the difference between this and him lying on the bed.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Ye Min poured a third cup of tea for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and smiled apologetically, "My lord, Your Highness stayed up late yesterday to deal with political affairs, so please wait a little longer."

The Minister of Rites was in charge of the crown prince's canonization ceremony. He was busy like a spinning top all day long. Now that he finally had time to be lazy, he wished for it. He waved his hand without any sign of impatience.

Ye Min breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact he was so anxious that he was about to cry. Yesterday Mo Yanchi said he had something important to look for Xiao Zhuangyuan in the middle of the night, but he went there all night, and now he is still gone. Fortunately, the Minister of Rites has a good temper, otherwise he would have fooled don't go.

He was thinking about how to trick him away, when a maid suddenly walked in and said, "My lord, Your Highness, please go over."

"His Royal Highness is awake?" Ye Min asked pleasantly.

"Yes." He was so excited, but the maid was a little confused, isn't it normal for His Highness to wake up at this time.

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites asked his subordinates to bring the prince's court clothes, and followed Ye Min to the bedroom.

In the past, Mo Yan was not favored, even the mansion was given by Emperor Hongzhi at will, but the Minister of Rites knows that although the outside is dilapidated, the inside is very grand.

Just talking about the corridor he walked through, there is an earth dragon under it, even outside, not to mention the front hall and bedroom.And there is a cellar in the north, where the ice cubes are comparable to those in the imperial palace. In order to hide it from the ministers, Emperor Hongzhi put in a lot of effort.

However, there are many people in the prince's mansion, and this matter can't be hidden for a while. After the ministers found out, they wanted to persuade them, but the mansion has been built, so it would be futile to say more.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought about it, shook his head, Emperor Hongzhi was really "arbitrary", it was so good to give him a mansion, I am afraid that at that time he had already wanted to be crowned prince.

Ye Min turned around and saw his wry smile, so he asked, "What's wrong, my lord?"

"Just remembering some old things. Speaking of which, you have been with His Royal Highness the Second Prince for three years, right?"

"Yes, after the Chinese New Year, it will be four years." Ye Min said.

"Time flies so fast." Minister of the Ministry of Rites sighed, and arrived at Mo Yanchi's bedroom in a blink of an eye.

I don't know it was because of the hot weather in the morning, Mo Yanchi's face was flushed, he sat inside to eat, and when he saw him coming, he asked Ye Min to add more bowls and chopsticks, so enthusiastic that the Minister of Rites couldn't hold back.

Mo Yanchi smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to refuse, you have the right to have lunch with me."

"Didn't your Highness just get up?" The Minister of Rites was a little blunt, and he realized it after he finished speaking. It turned out that it was almost noon.

Mo Yanchi didn't answer, just let him sit down.

The Minister of Rites, who was originally here to let His Highness try on the court clothes, took a lunch out of nowhere. After finishing the matter, the sun was already high and it was so hot that people didn't even want to leave.

Fortunately, Mo Yichi had something to go to Zhuangyuan's Mansion, so the Minister of Rites was soaked, and he was sent back safely in the carriage with ice cubes in advance.

When Mo Yanchi found Xiao Zhijin, he was reading a letter in the study, and continued his actions without even raising his head when he heard footsteps.

"Any news?" Mo Yanchi walked over and sat beside him.

Xiao Zhijin handed the letter to him, and said: "Concubine Jing was taken to Nie's residence by Zhu Qiming yesterday, and she also met Nie Cheng, but she didn't suspect anything."

"Nie Cheng is not stupefied. If he hadn't pretended to be sick, he would have been exposed by the imperial physician."

Xiao Zhijuan said: "I always feel that something is wrong. In the next few days, we need to add more people around Nie's mansion. The grand ceremony is less than ten days away. Dai Yan probably won't be able to sit still."

Mo Yanchi was noncommittal, after noon, there were several auras around the general's mansion, the guards noticed it by chance, walked over to check, but there was no one there.

At night, the sky is high and the moon is bright, and the noisy imperial city during the day is quiet and silent. The watchmen are so far and near that they beat the gong to remind the time.The third watch bell rang, and several figures crossed the sky without leaving any traces.

The watcher seemed to be aware of it, looked up, and saw a few birds flying high, and saw that the direction was flying to the general's mansion, the birdsong in the middle of the night, it was really weird, he shivered, and left quickly.

Several figures landed on the house of the General's Mansion without making a sound, the person standing at the front waved his hand, and the rest scattered away without knowing where they were going.The man bowed and hurried, and quickly found his destination.

The people in the room were just sleeping lightly. When they heard the noise, they asked in a low voice, "Your Highness?"

"it's me."

Concubine Jing hurriedly got up, went to open the window, a black shadow fell, even though she covered her face, she still recognized the person who came, it was Dai Yan.

Concubine Jing saluted through the window, almost without tears: "See Your Highness."

"You don't need to be too polite." Dai Yan went in through the window, helped him up, and didn't give Concubine Jing the time to inquire about her warmth, and expressed his intention: "I learned the day before yesterday that Zhu Qiming was going to be forced into the palace on the day of the grand ceremony. When the time comes You bring me in."

"What?" Concubine Jing was taken aback, "Forcing the palace? Will he be confused tomorrow?"

Dai Yan sneered: "No, he has done a good job. The crown prince canonize and all the officials come to the court. This is a good opportunity for us to do something. If he doesn't create some chaos, I will have to plan something else. God help me."

"Your Highness is going to make a move?" Concubine Jing said in a deep voice.

"It's time to subjugate the country for more than ten years." Dai Yan pulled out a smile, like a ghost in the dark night, making one's hair stand on end.

Concubine Jing stared straight at him, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, this subordinate is willing to do it for you, why do you take the risk?"

Dai Yan turned his back, walked to the window, looked at the frosty moonlight, and said: "It's not about taking risks, if you can't do it yourself, I can't solve the hatred of subjugation, and there are people in my palace, Once the thief dies, I can add a yellow robe and restore my country."

Concubine Jing has followed Dai Yan since the Prince's Mansion, all the way to this day, and knows him very well, she looked at his back and didn't dare to refute.

The two stood quietly, as if they didn't feel bored, suddenly, Dai Yan said: "After this matter is settled, I will give you the title of noble concubine, and I will not fail you."

Concubine Jing was ecstatic, this was the first time that Dai Yan had promised her, and for a moment, Concubine Jing felt that her dedication over the past ten years was worth it.

She choked with sobs and did not refuse, but said: "One of my subordinates was born as a maid, so she cannot be a noble concubine."

Dai Yan sighed: "Dai'er, don't feel sorry for yourself. It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

"Yes, send it off Your Highness."

Concubine Jing wiped her tears, watched Dai Yan leave, and closed the window tightly, as if no one had ever come.

The General's Mansion couldn't trap Dai Yan, he came and went without a trace, and no one knew about the whole process. It turned out that the third watch had passed, and the street should be empty, but Dai Yan had just settled down when he saw someone underneath. wait for him.

"His Royal Highness, I have been waiting for a long time." The man covered his face, his voice was hoarse, and he looked like a young man.

Dai Yan thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember who it was, so he asked, "Who is here?"

"Your Highness forgets things a lot, so forget it if you can't remember, just walk with me and think about it slowly." The man spoke softly, seemingly infinitely gentle, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

Dai Yan drew out the soft sword from his waist and said: "Then you must have this ability."

"I don't have one, but...Your Highness is only one person, how long can you block it." After the man said, there were figures all around, with sharp arrows, all of them pointed at Dai Yan. The arrows glowed with a cold blue light, obviously painted. Poisoned.

There were so many people that Dai Yan couldn't guarantee that he would escape unscathed. He stared at the man, gritted his teeth and said, "Scumbag."

"Your Highness is joking, no matter how despicable I am, I'm not half as good as His Highness." The man slowly raised his hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, put down the sword."

Dai Yan knew he was careless, he shouldn't have brought so many people here, and was even more shocked by the ability of the person opposite, no matter how few people he had, he wouldn't just kill them, unless his martial arts were superior to them.

The man fiddled with the jade pendant around his waist, "Your Highness, don't hesitate, I have set up a trap for a long time for today, unless you know how to escape, otherwise you will not be able to escape."

"Who are you?" Dai Yan looked around silently, and was shocked to find that besides the people on the roof, there were also people around the ground below.Even if it is General Wei Ling in Beijing, it is impossible to have so many people.

"Hey, why is Your Highness so interested in your identity?" The man said, touching his face through the veil, and then slowly took it off.

Through the moonlight, Dai Yan saw the man's face clearly, and said in shock: "It turned out to be you."

"It's me, is your Highness going to catch him without a fight?"

Dai Yan sneered, "What do you think?"

After saying that, he bullied himself forward, and the soft sword approached the man.The man didn't move at all, watching quietly, suddenly several figures came out from behind, blocking him behind, protecting him safely.

Dai Yan was fighting with those people, while looking for an opportunity to attack that person, but he was outnumbered, no matter how strong Dai Yan's martial arts were, he was no match for the opponents who kept coming forward, within a while, he felt exhausted and couldn't even react. They were all delayed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind in his ear, he thought it was bad, but he had no time to dodge, and was stabbed by an arrow, and the paralysis instantly spread all over his body, making him unable to move.

The man beckoned someone to feed him the antidote, and said, "Don't let him die so quickly, take him back."

"Yes."

A group of people set up Dai Yan, because they were afraid that he would yell, they simply knocked him unconscious, and took him back smoothly.
