"Master Ji, the emperor is in the meditation room, and he will come out in a while, please wait for a while."
Ji Ran nodded to Ren Changfu, watched him turn and enter the door of the Zen room, his face was calm, but he was really surprised in his heart, it was unexpected that the emperor was still a Buddhist believer.
For a while, Ji Ran waited outside the door for half a day, from morning to noon, until he was thirsty and hungry, thinking about you, the next time he meets the emperor, in order to deal with this unexpected situation, It's better to bring a few snacks and a bag of water, otherwise it will be too much to suffer.
Just when Ji Ran was so hungry that he wanted to squat down on the spot, the closed vermilion lacquered door finally opened.But still the emperor was nowhere to be seen, only Ren Changfu walked out the door quickly with a whisk in his hands.
"Master Ji, the emperor announces you to go in, please come with the Sa family." After finishing speaking, Ren Changfu slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Ran nodded, "Thank you."
Ren Changfu bent down slightly, then turned his head and led Ji Ran into the door.
From the outside, the meditation room looks ordinary, but the inside is elegant and spacious. When you walk, you can faintly smell the scent of incense candles, which is very quiet and pleasant.Ji Ran was originally feeling guilty and impetuous while waiting, but now he can't help but gradually calm down.
Ren Changfu brought Ji Ran to the main hall, stopped outside the door, bowed and said, "The emperor is inside, Mr. Ji, go in."
Ji Ran nodded at Ren Changfu, turned his head and looked at the main hall carefully, it was simple and quiet, still low-key, but inexplicably gave off a sense of solemnity.Taking a deep breath, Ji Ran stretched out his hand to push the door and walked in.
I thought it must be a golden body of a Buddha statue when entering. The emperor was either kneeling on the futon, chanting scriptures and knocking on the wooden fish, or copying scriptures to worship the Buddha, but it turned out to be completely different.There is no Buddha statue in sight, no sound of wooden fish, and the emperor did not copy scriptures to pray for blessings, and the whole hall is not so much a Buddhist hall as it is...Ji Ran can't describe what it is. The frame-shaped long-burning lamp, the reason why I know it is a long-burning lamp, is from the costume drama on TV.
And there is no Buddha statue on the wall in the middle of the lobby, but a portrait.Due to the lighting problem, it is difficult to see the face of the portrait, but judging from the clothes alone, the person in the portrait is a man.
Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat when he saw the figure of the man in the painting, he was just like that Wu Jiu.Because I heard Bai Muyan tell Zhao Yu before, Ji Ran wasn't too shocked and surprised, he took a look, then turned his eyes and went forward to salute the emperor.
"Sir, pay homage to the emperor."
Ji Ran bowed his head and knelt down, but the emperor didn't move for a while, his knees were numb, and the emperor standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and staring at the portrait moved, and turned slowly to look at Ji Ran.
"Get up." When Ji Ran got up, the emperor asked, "Ai Qing is willing to wait outside for a long time, but what's the important thing?"
Ji Ran raised his head, but looked past the emperor at the portrait behind him.
Seeing his reaction, the emperor turned his head to look, and turned around, his tone was slightly displeased, "The portrait behind me is my late queen. Even if Ai Qing is curious, she shouldn't stare like this."
"My Majesty, the minister came to the palace today to face the saint, and it was for the portrait." Ji Ran withdrew his gaze and bowed to the emperor, "Oh, not all of them, to be precise, it was for the Hun wizard come."
The emperor couldn't help but look at Ji Ran with a frown.
Ji Ran also knew that he was talking nonsense, so he stroked it silently, and then spoke again, telling the ins and outs of the matter, anyway, the emperor knew the details of Lu Zhen, and he had nothing to hide, so he also told about the ghost puppet the other side.
"How can you be sure that the one who came was a Hungarian shaman, and how can you be sure that Wu Jiu is the shaman himself?" In Ji Ran's narration, the emperor nodded frequently, with a serious expression on his face. Poison Hand was deeply shocked, but at the same time, he was skeptical about Ji Ran's guess. After all, from the narrative, neither the man in black nor Wu Jiu revealed any sign that he was a wizard.
Ji Ran knew what the emperor was wondering about, and said, "The emperor missed the point. Aren't the horoscopes of birth and the year of death and death mentioned by the man in black the same as those carved on the stone statue before? That thing is related to the Huns. As for Wu Jiu , except for the face, voice and figure are exactly the same as the man in black, even the evil spirit."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his brows and said without talking nonsense, "Zhao Yu!"
Ji Ran was taken aback.
Zhao Yu?
Is Prince Zhao here too?Then why are you still hiding in the dark?
Just as he was wondering, a man popped out of the darkness and knelt down in front of the emperor. Ji Ran stared at the man, feeling somewhat familiar, but it was not Zhao Yu, the prince of Dingbeihou.
"What is the emperor's order?" Zhao Yu knelt down and asked.
"You heard clearly what Lord Ji said just now, I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly immediately." The emperor said.
"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he got up and went out.
Ji Ran: "..."
After the emperor gave the order, he turned his head and saw Ji Ran's dumbfounded expression, "My imperial guard, Ai Qing has seen it before."
"Ah?" Ji Ran was stunned, only Zhao Yu and Zhao Shizi's face was in his mind!
"Back when I visited your hometown in private, he was the guard I brought with me," said the emperor.
Hearing the emperor mentioning this, Ji Ran also remembered that there was such a person, who seemed to remember that his name was indeed Zhao Yu, who actually had the same name and surname as Prince Zhao, and this guard was so invisible and low-key, that's why he didn't impression.He couldn't help thinking in his heart, if the two Zhao Yu bumped into each other, what would be the reaction.
His thoughts were being pulled further and further away by the grass mud horse, but fortunately, Ji Ran suddenly pulled him back with a jolt.
"Your Majesty." Ji Ran hesitated a little, "Bai Xiang and Zhao Shizi also met Wu Jiu, and they both felt that, with..."
Should it be said, or should it not be said?Having said that, will there be more troubles?But if you don't say it, if the emperor sees Wu Jiu and reacts like Bai Muyan and the others, wouldn't it be bad to be used by that wizard?
"Follow, what?" Seeing that Ji Ran suddenly stopped and looked confused, the emperor asked.
"Follow..." Ji Ran gritted his teeth, and reached out to point at the portrait behind the emperor, "That Wu Jiu is very similar to the queen in the portrait. I didn't feel anything when Prime Minister Bai told Zhao Shizi. See, but the body shape is very similar, the face is not clear, so I dare not make any judgments."
After Ji Ran finished speaking, he didn't wait for the emperor's response for a long time. He raised his head wonderingly, but saw that the other side's face was stiff, and his whole body was frozen in place, like a sculpture.
"You..." After a long while, the emperor moved his lips and squeezed out the words from his throat, "Are you serious? Then Wu Jiu, really, really..." Before he finished asking, the emperor smiled miserably, " It doesn't matter how he looks, it's not him after all."
Ji Ran didn't know how to comfort him, the reason why he said it was just to let the emperor have a psychological preparation.
"I'm done talking." Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Ji Ran cupped his hands, "Then... I will leave."
After waiting for a while, the emperor still did not respond as if he had settled down, so Ji Ran turned around and left.
Coming out of the meditation room, Ji Ran felt much more relaxed physically and mentally. The emperor minded investigating this matter, so there was nothing to worry about. The official uniforms outside were not good, and he was very relieved of the emperor's power.
Ji Ran was still in a hurry to leave the palace for dinner, so he left without looking sideways all the way.However, as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a group of horses speeding up and passing by quickly, wondering who was so bold to rampage in the palace, when they heard the discussion of the palace guards behind them.
"The military situation is urgent again. The reinforcements came as soon as they were dispatched. Could something be wrong?"
"Is it the frontier that is expedited? Could it be that the Huns have captured our city again?"
"You are stupid, the reinforcements have already gone out, and the border rush will definitely be sent to the reinforcements. Why do you want to send the capital to the capital? I think it is likely that the reinforcements have gone wrong."
"Oh, this year is really..."
Ji Ran only heard this and didn't listen to anything else. His mind was buzzing, and it was all because of the trouble of the reinforcements circling in his mind, making him dizzy from the noise.However, it is also possible that I was too hungry, and I shook my head, and the dizziness passed.
Without even thinking about it, Ji Ran turned around and headed back to the palace.Passing by the imperial study room, Ji Ran kept walking towards the Zen room, but stopped when he saw Ren Changfu outside the door, turned around and walked quickly towards him.
"Why is Lord Ji back?" Ren Changfu was surprised to see Ji Ran.
"Eunuch Ren, just now I saw a person rushing into the palace gate, but the military report is urgent?" Ji Ran asked bluntly and eagerly, not in the mood for greetings.
Ren Changfu was taken aback by the question, but still nodded.
Ji Ran's heart sank, "But, something went wrong with the reinforcements?"
"The Sa family doesn't know, but it should be. If there is an urgent report at the border, it will be sent directly to the reinforcements." Ren Changfu said.
Ji Ran was in a complete turmoil, and subconsciously wanted to rush to the Imperial Study Room, but was stopped by Ren Changfu.
"Master Ji, it is inconvenient for the emperor to break in without being summoned, but he will be blamed." Ren Changfu bowed and said, "The Sa family will go in and report to Lord Ji, please wait."
Ji Ran frowned and nodded, "I have Mr. Lao."
Ren Changfu came out after a while, motioning for Ji Ran to go in, and Ji Ran didn't bother to say a word of politeness, so he went forward and opened the door to enter.
In the imperial study room, the emperor was sitting behind the dragon table, and the person kneeling in front of the table was the person who just broke into the palace gate. That person was reporting the situation, and the emperor's face was gloomy and dignified.
"Our army marched in Liuxi, set up camp and took a rest. During the day, there was nothing wrong with each other. At night, we encountered a group of sneak attacks. The sneak attacks were stiff but powerful, and they were not painful. They seemed loose, but they seemed very There was a continuation, and our army was caught off guard, with heavy casualties." The man didn't stop just because Ji Ran entered the door, and continued to talk on his own, "The most terrifying thing is that everyone who was bitten After being infected with the corpse poison, Vice General Lu killed the enemy with his own strength, but the corpse poison is unsolvable, and it is also contagious, so the military doctors are helpless."
Ji Ran happened to listen to all these words, and when he heard that it was not painful but deadly, his heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he suddenly thought of the corpse theft case that had been raging for the past few days.
"Your Majesty." Ji Ran walked forward a few steps, "I forgot one thing." After the emperor turned his eyes, Ji Ran continued, "In recent days, there have been frequent corpse thefts in Yizhuang, but the government has always The investigation was fruitless, and the reinforcements encountered, could it be related to these lost corpses?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked surprised, "The corpse case? Why have I never heard of such a big thing?"
Ji Ran didn't answer this kind of meaningless question, and said two words directly, "Wu Jiu."
Ji Ran nodded to Ren Changfu, watched him turn and enter the door of the Zen room, his face was calm, but he was really surprised in his heart, it was unexpected that the emperor was still a Buddhist believer.
For a while, Ji Ran waited outside the door for half a day, from morning to noon, until he was thirsty and hungry, thinking about you, the next time he meets the emperor, in order to deal with this unexpected situation, It's better to bring a few snacks and a bag of water, otherwise it will be too much to suffer.
