Dai Yan has not been to the General's Mansion since that day, and communicates with Concubine Jing through letters on weekdays. She does not doubt that she has it, and always answers letters earnestly, waiting patiently in the General's Mansion.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the canonization pawn.

Mo Yanchi had temporarily lived in the palace the day before, and was woken up early in the morning by the people from the Ministry of Rituals, had breakfast quickly, and changed into the prince's court clothes.During the period, Minister of the Ministry of Rites emphasized the matters that need to be paid attention to during the ceremony. He was a long-winded person, but fortunately, Mo Yichi was in a good mood today, and he did not show any signs of impatience throughout the whole process.

The Minister of Rites chattered endlessly, and when the auspicious time approached, he stopped talking.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Mo Yanchi asked Ye Min, "Where is Master Xiao?"

"Master Xiao?" Ye Min was at a loss, "Is Your Highness looking for him?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually." Mo Yanchi looked down at the jade pendant on his waist, felt a little crooked, and raised his hand to straighten it out.

On the Golden Palace.

Hundreds of officials gathered and separated on both sides. Before the emperor arrived, no one dared to whisper to each other. The whole hall was solemn and solemn.

Xiao Zhijin stood in it, staring at the outside of the hall, suddenly, a figure in a black robe appeared in front of him, his ears were very noisy, he was dragged by his colleagues to kneel down, and his eyes never left Mo Yanchi from the beginning to the end .

His Royal Highness, who was freshly baked, walked forward step by step, without looking sideways, when he passed by Xiao Zhijin, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and then walked forward.Emperor Hongzhi didn't know when he sat on the dragon chair, accepting Mo Yanchi's worship.

Bestowing gold books and treasures, paying homage to the Taimiao, gathering officials...

The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and any one of them is indispensable. Mo Yichi followed the regulations given by the Ministry of Rites, and was careful and conscientious without making any mistakes. When night fell, he was already too tired to speak.

But it happened to be the evening banquet, which was the highlight of the day. He took the ginseng slices Ye Min brought in his mouth, hid a dagger in his sleeve, and rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Fast-forward three years, and now Mo Yanchi is already at his fingertips when facing the officials, he is both right and left, humble and courteous without losing the majesty of the prince, Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and couldn't help nodding.

Compared to the Luming Banquet, Xiao Zhijin was much cleaner at this moment, he was pouring wine while staring at Concubine Jing above.In order to protect Concubine Jing, Zhu Qiming managed to get her out of the palace. This woman is lucky, she hurried back the day before.

It is not a trivial matter to entertain hundreds of officials, and the guards in the palace are basically arranged around here.All the officials mingled with each other, coming and going, so happy, but no one noticed that Jiang Wan, who had been unknown until now, had left the palace and went straight to the general's mansion.

Listening to the sound of bells and drums coming from the palace, Nie Cheng breathed frighteningly heavily.He sat in the front hall, waiting for news from Zhu Qiming.

The subordinates around were a little flustered, and asked again: "General, do we really want...to enter the palace?"

"His Royal Highness the First Prince has an order that we need to escort the thieves at the banquet." Nie Cheng said, but his face was gloomy and frightening. If it wasn't for the big man's promise, he would go back on his word just because of Concubine Jing's entry into the palace. up.But don't be too late to take the lead, his daughter may not be able to please her in the palace, so it's better to fight.

The government soldiers outside rushed in, seeming to be frightened, and said intermittently: "General, Jiang...Master Jiang is here."

"Quick pass."

"No need." A crisp voice came from outside, very similar to Jiang Wan, but soft and mellow, obviously a woman's voice.

Nie Cheng was suspicious, and looked up, only to see a woman walking slowly, with a smile on her lips, painted red lips, dotted with cinnabar, her aura was shockingly familiar.

"Master Jiang?"

"It's the next official." Jiang Wan clasped her hands, growing lotuses every step of the way, with a frown and a smile full of charm.

Nie Cheng's eyes were straightened, and he said in a daze, "Why are you dressed like a woman?"

"The general is joking, I am a woman. Speaking of which, general, does this dress look good?" Jiang Wan raised her hand, and the forbidden step that had been held by her all the time also fell down in response, making a clear and sweet voice.

Nie Cheng, being a big boss, didn't turn his head around for a while, but the maid who came to deliver the tea saw it and exclaimed: "Isn't this the forbidden walk in Mingshan that the madam gave to the young lady?"

Jiang Wan glanced at the man calmly, and said with a smile: "Young lady has a good memory, but this forbidden step has been damaged more than 20 years ago, and the one on Jiang is just a copy."

"The forbidden step is still on the eldest lady so far, where has it been damaged?"

"Girl, the ban has been ruined, let alone a human being. The eldest lady you are talking about is just a maid." She said, releasing the ban and handing it to Nie Cheng.

Nie Cheng frowned and didn't answer, and asked, "Master Jiang, are you here to disrupt the situation today?"

Jiang Wan held the forbidden step in both hands, knelt down straight, and said: "23 years ago, the general went out to fight, and there were no males in the mansion. It happened that bandits were in power and broke into the general's mansion. Miss Nie Qingqing got separated because of this. She has no memory, and her temperament has changed drastically. The next year, Nie Qingqing married into the palace of the Holy Majesty, and since then she rarely interacts with the General's Palace. General, am I wrong?"

"Yes, this is not a secret, and it is not surprising that you know it."

Nie Cheng nodded and said, at this moment, the guard outside suddenly said: "General, the voice in the palace has stopped."

Nie Cheng slapped the table and stood up, passed Jiang Wan, and said, "Regroup, prepare to go."

"But! General, have you ever thought about how it is possible for a person to change his personality even if he loses his memory!" Jiang Wan suddenly said loudly, and two lines of tears flowed down: "In the autumn of the same year, Nie Qingqing was taken captive and sent to Jiangzhou , became the wife of a villager, and gave birth to a female child four years later, and 15 years later, Nie Qingqing hanged herself, and died before her family found her!"

Jiang Wan slammed the forbidden step to Nie Cheng's feet, and asked for her mother: "Nie Cheng! Why can't you even recognize your own flesh and blood?"

Nie Cheng's face was ashen, and his hands on the sword were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to use the sword to kill the person in front of him.He drew his sword away, pointed at Jiang Wan, and said, "If you talk nonsense again, this general will kill you first."

Jiang Wan was crying and laughing, almost crazy, just when Nie Cheng was about to leave, she suddenly whispered: "Dad, didn't you promise me to teach me how to ride a horse?"

"What did you say?"

"As you said, Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. But my daughter still wants to go to the frontier with her father to watch the sunset. You broke your promise."

Nie Cheng's blind trust in Concubine Jing was finally shattered by Jiang Wan's two words.Since Nie Qingqing was found again, the daughter who usually clings to him no longer exists. These words were repeated by Nie Qingqing over and over again by his side before he set off for the expedition.

Apart from himself, only Nie Qingqing knew about it.

"How do you know this?"

"How do I know? It's nothing more than my miserable mother who was imprisoned in the house and couldn't find anything else to do. She said the same thing day after day, and she remembered it after a long time." Jiang Wan smiled wryly, her face The tears are not dry yet.

Nie Cheng threw down the sword, grabbed Jiang Wan's shoulder, and said angrily, "Please tell me clearly, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, general. You will know when you enter the palace and see the imperial concubine." Jiang Wan looked at him coldly, raised her hand to push Nie Cheng's restraint, and walked out.

The people present were dumbfounded, and asked cautiously: "General, are you entering the palace?"

"Enter! I want to know whether what this person said is true or not!"

Jiang Wan took the lead in the carriage, and the soldiers behind were too frightened by Nie Cheng's anger to pant, and walked slowly behind them, not at all looking like they were going to force the palace.

At this moment, the palace was already in chaos. Standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Qiming watched the elite soldiers in his hands fighting in the hall, his eyes flashed red, which made him very excited.

Emperor Hongzhi watched all the officials running around, and said angrily, "Nizi!"

Mo Yanchi remained motionless, sat on the table and continued pouring wine, as soon as someone approached, the guards around him would kill him without mercy.

The more indifferent he was, the more annoyed Emperor Hongzhi would be, but because there were too many people talking, he couldn't scold Mo Yanchi at this moment, otherwise his two sons would be gone.

Zhu Qiming thought that Emperor Hongzhi was scolding himself, so he replied: "Father, my son has worked so hard for this country and society for so many years, but you gave the throne to that bastard. My son can't bear my father to be deceived by a monster, so I will replace you today." A walk in the sky once."

"Shut up!" Emperor Hongzhi yelled angrily, suddenly felt a pain in his chest, he couldn't stand still, and fell on the dragon chair.

Concubine Jing supported him, but he pushed him away, "You have raised a good son."

"My concubine is guilty, Your Majesty must not get angry, be careful..." Concubine Jing leaned against Emperor Hongzhi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The poisonous gas attacks the heart."

"What did you say!" Emperor Hongzhi turned his head to look at Concubine Jing, who straightened up and looked at Zhu Qiming coldly without saying a word.

Zhu Qiming stood outside the main hall and never went in. Just when Emperor Hongzhi thought he was the only ones, the eunuch outside ran in and cried, "Your Majesty, it's not good. General Dingyuan led his troops into the palace!"

"Here we come." Zhu Qiming said, and Mo Yanchi also got up at this time and walked towards Emperor Hongzhi. Concubine Jing thought that he wanted to protect Emperor Hongzhi, but she didn't want a person beside him to suddenly step forward and grab herself suddenly.

Zhu Qiming sneered and said, "Is the emperor threatening me?"

"The younger brother knows how much hatred the emperor's heart has, but this woman is not a hostage."

Xiao Zhijin also walked over, he looked around, but he didn't see Dai Yan at all, could it be that Dai Yan really held his breath and didn't come into the palace?

"The escort came late, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" Nie Cheng was worried that he would lose his composure, so he dragged Jiang Wanyun to rush in, and landed beside Zhu Qiming.

Zhu Qiming trusted both of them extremely, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and he was bound to win: "Grandfather, you are finally here."

Nie Cheng walked forward without saying a word, and just when Zhu Qiming was about to ask him not to be polite, Nie Cheng suddenly shot him down and knocked him down.Nie Cheng didn't even use his sword, and held Zhu Qiming down with both hands, preventing him from moving.

Zhu Qiming suddenly came to his senses, and said angrily, "You guys betrayed me."

"If you haven't pledged allegiance, how can you talk about betrayal." Jiang Wan said in a low voice.

The people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony found that Zhu Qiming had been arrested, so they stopped involuntarily, not daring to move again.

Jiang Wan looked up and saw the captured Concubine Jing, with a sneer on her lips, she stepped in and said: "General, you have to watch carefully, don't mistake the thief for your daughter."
