Dongchang needs talents like you

The emperor's assassination must be thoroughly investigated. Qian Xiaoyu was successful in rescuing him, so he could easily leave with a wave of his sleeves, but the other people's troubles have only just begun.

Before the real culprit behind the scenes was caught, there was a strong murderous atmosphere over Yongji City throughout the autumn, and the smell of blood was still lingering.It can't be said that everyone is in danger, at least most people can't get excited again, and even the beginning of the second autumn has not caused too much trouble.

This time, Chi Ning personally sent Xu Gui into the Tribute Court, and asked Yuan Jun to find a responsible executive who can come and go freely to keep an eye on him, so as to ensure that there will be no more problems.

Time just passed by little by little, and when I looked back, it was already late autumn, the Cangjiang River was vast, and the mirror sky was snowing.

Emperor Nian Ping had a kind of wariness towards the whole Nangong, who was once bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, which deepened the disgust that was already about to overflow.

If it was said that Emperor Nian Ping still hesitated because of years of feelings, and couldn't bear to execute the children in Nangong who didn't know if they were of his own blood, then now he doesn't feel bad at all.

On this day, Emperor Nianping secretly summoned the eunuch Ma from Xichang, and issued a secret order to kill him. Not only did he not plan to spare the princes and princesses of Nangong, but even their biological mothers were also buried.

In the past three years, the Ma eunuch brothers have done a lot of dirty things for Emperor Nian Ping, each time they were unable to see people, and each time they became more dangerous, these did not shake Ma Wen's loyalty to Emperor Nian Ping.Not at this moment, but eunuch Ma felt a wave of fear of Emperor Nian Ping from the bottom of his heart.

The kind that is afraid of blowing cold air from behind.

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but Emperor Nianping can kill all the children in front of the fourth prince born to Concubine Ji, what kind of cruelty is this.

Yes, Eunuch Ma attributed what Emperor Nian Ping did to Emperor Nian Ping's extraordinary love for the fourth prince.Thinking of the absurd thing that Emperor Nianping's father, Emperor Su, had done in ignoring the death of his heir because he loved Concubine Wei too much, Eunuch Ma felt that he had guessed right.

This is something that has been inherited from the root. Over the years, the old Wen family has not lacked such and such lunatics.

Up and down the court, there are not a few people who have similar ideas with Eunuch Ma.

Especially the old ministers and wives who had experienced Sudi's period regretted their mistakes and beat their chests at home. Why did they choose to let Emperor Nianping become the throne after Emperor Tianhe left?Choosing a piece of char siu is better than choosing this crazy one!

But it's too late to regret now.

Emperor Nian Ping looked crazy every year, but it seemed that no one could stop his infinite expansion.

Fate is so interesting, when everyone else thinks that Emperor Nian Ping has gone crazy, Emperor Nian Ping still feels wronged.He was not wrong, it was the people who were wrong, they all misunderstood him: "I gave them a chance, I did!"

Emperor Nianping was drunk, and only Concubine Jizan and Ji Guifei were by his side, and he said softly, "Your Majesty is not wrong."

The generous beauty who used to take the bright and beautiful route is now becoming less and less tempered, like a ball of cotton, she can laugh no matter what.It's not that Ji Zan has changed her nature, but that Emperor Nian Ping is no longer the Emperor Nian Ping who thought that a beauty should have a temper three years ago, and was willing to carefully coax a beauty.In the past three years, he has completely embarked on the autocratic way of the emperor, rushing towards the side of "discipline yourself with lenient and treat others with strictness", and never look back.

Ji Zan saw through the direction of the wind early on, and took advantage of the opportunity of "giving birth" to forcibly reverse her personality, and took the graceful route of a good wife and mother.

Not to mention, the effect is very good, Emperor Nian Ping loves and trusts her even more.

If Ji Zan can publish a book in the future, she must write the sentence "Change your personality according to the environment anytime, anywhere, like a chameleon is the way to survive in this harem" on the title page.

"Do you think there is something wrong with me just like them? One prince is assassinated, but not all the princes and princesses. Why are you angry with all the princes and princesses?" Emperor Nian Ping was so drunk that he couldn't see who was in front of him clearly. He didn't care who was kneeling in front of him, he just wanted to satisfy his desire to talk.

"How could it be? Your Majesty has treated our Hong'er very well." Ji Zan never left the fourth prince, because she knew very well that the fourth prince was not really a son born by her. What to emphasize.

The fourth prince was named Wen Hong by Emperor Nian Ping, the "Hong" of "magnificent" and the "Hong" of "great wish", which entrusted the great expectations and ambitions of Emperor Nian Ping.

"Because none of them are my children." Emperor Nian Ping approached Ji Zan, bringing with him a stinking smell of alcohol and a deadly secret. Pushed to the brink of self-destruction, "Everything is nothing, only Hong'er is."

"!!!" Ji Zan covered her mouth, feeling like she knew too much.

"They are not my children, why should I like them? Their mothers are sorry to me, but I still want to feed them with food and drink? Why? To make the green hat on the head more colorful?" Emperor Nian Ping Yelling and waving his hands like a real madman.It wasn't until he finished talking that he felt refreshed, and then he lay down on the low table and fell asleep deeply.

Ji Zan opened her eyes wide and couldn't sleep anymore.Her heart beat as if it was going to burst into her chest at any moment, and she was so frightened that she couldn't move.She just sat with Emperor Nian Ping for more than an hour before she finally realized that she couldn't just sit like this!

She can't sit still!

If you don't do anything, it's possible that she will die tomorrow!

She must save herself!

Knowing the emperor's greatest secret, how can he live?Ji Zan used her brain and tried to think about what she should do to help herself out of the predicament.But she couldn't think of it at all, she is too messed up now, her head is a mess, and in the end she can only think of Chi Ning again, only Lord Chi can save her!

Chi Ning...

Leaving aside the fact that Ji Zan has intentionally or unintentionally alienated Chi Ning, who belongs to the lineage of the prince, by "giving birth" to the fourth prince in the past three years, let's just say that in the middle of the night, the gate of the palace has been locked—the East Factory is in Donghua It is next to the door, but it is not inside the Donghua Gate after all - Chi Ning can't get in at all, and he is powerless to save her.

Ji Zan knelt and sat down on the cold main hall, is it going to end like this?She has only been a new person for less than four years!

She doesn't want to die!

Until a hand suddenly appeared next to Ji Zan without any warning, it was as strong as steel, pulled her arm, and helped her up, as if it could just support her to walk down.

Ji Zan turned her head in panic, and saw her father-in-law Shang Er hidden in the darkness: "Master Shang."

Shang Er replaced Qian Xiaoyu as the newly-promoted supervisor of ceremonies, and at the same time also served as the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor.At this juncture, Emperor Nianping didn't dare to trust other people at all, so his reliance on Shang Er recently reached a sick peak.Even Ji Zan is used to addressing Shang Er as an adult.

"Your Majesty is a thousand years old." Shang Er still looks so upright, obeys the rules, and is not arrogant. He is much easier to get along with than Qian Xiaoyu.

"You've been there?" Ji Zan realized something even though her mind wouldn't turn anymore.

"I want to protect His Majesty's safety, so I won't be too far away from His Majesty." Shang Er Huiwu.In fact, Jiang Zhiwei and Yu Xingchui's boxing skills were all taught by their master Zhang Jingzhong through Shang Er, and Yu Xingchui was a true disciple of Shang Er.Chi Ning also learned some superficial things back then, and it was really very superficial, which fully made Chi Ning realize that he is a school of wits and can't take the path of fighting.

"You, you heard it? No, you already knew it!" Emperor Nian Ping was drunk and nonsense. It must not be the only time. It is hard to say whether other concubines have heard it, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the people around him. .

Shane was noncommittal, neither saying yes nor no.

"Help me, Mr. Shang, please, save me, Hong'er is still young, she can't live without a mother." Ji Zan firmly grasped Shang Er's sleeve, constantly begging for the chance to live for herself.

Shang Er's eyes were still so calm, unmoved: "Of course I will help your mother, otherwise I won't show up. It's just..."

"I promise you whatever you want!" Ji Zan blurted out without thinking, like a drowning person who grabbed the last floating board, she would do anything to survive.

"I don't ask for riches, and I don't like beautiful family members. I just have a curious heart, and I ask my mother to explain my doubts."

"Tell me!" Ji Zan didn't think there was anything she couldn't tell Shang Er, even if it was all the secrets of Emperor Nian Ping, she could sell it to Chi Ning once, and naturally she could sell it to Shang Er again.

The relationship between Ji Zan and Chi Ning has always been quite complicated. In the past three years, they have not been as close as before, nor have they turned their faces. They have always been in a false peace of mutual benefit.No one knows when this relationship will fall apart, but at least until something happens, they are still willing to work hard to maintain their precarious plastic relationship.

"Your Majesty was not pregnant at all back then, so how did you give birth to the Fourth Highness?"

"!"

A thunderbolt was striking the Temple of Wuwei, illuminating the entire night sky.

***

Jiang Zhiwei was ordered to start a thorough investigation into the case of the prince's assassination of Emperor Nianping. He was so worried that his head was getting bigger. After doing a lot of useless work, he could only come to his junior brother for help: "I don't know where to start!"

The eldest prince who assassinated Emperor Nian Ping was hacked to death on the spot, and the people around him also died overnight, all of them died in prisons. Any fool knows that there is something wrong here, the murderer behind the scenes is killing people, but... The other party was really terrific, and his hands were so slippery that Jiang Zhiwei, a genius in solving crimes, was helpless: "Do you know? There is no breakthrough even in Zhiwei!"

Chi Ning and Yu Xingchui were tasting tea, which was a treasure that had just been brought to Beijing recently. They shared a pot, and specially prepared another pot for Jiang Zhiwei, which was larger than the teapots they used, but the tea was cheap.

It's not that Chi Ning is reluctant to spend money for his senior brother, but he is reluctant to see Jiang Zhiwei's frequent bullying and spoiling good things.

Yu Xingchui squinted his eyes, smelling the aroma of tea, feeling the spiraling tea scent, and said slowly: "There is no breakthrough in Lianzhi, which itself is a breakthrough."

Jiang Zhiwei: "Huh?"

Chi Ning sighed helplessly, and continued with the words of the second senior brother: "I asked Shenmu to find the whereabouts of Master and His Majesty, but I came to the conclusion that someone had deceived the secret, and now it is the same this time. Senior brother, you understand what I mean ?"

"It was done by one person!" Jiang Zhiwei opened his eyes wide, "As long as you find the other party, you can find the master!"

Chi Ning and Yu Xingchui looked at each other. For so many years, they have been saying that they want to find an opportunity to tell Jiang Zhiwei the truth, but they can't find a particularly perfect time.In fact, how can there be so-called perfect timing in this world?They knew very well that they were just looking for excuses to delay the time. If they could tell Jiang Zhiwei one day later, it would be one day later.

This time, they have no way to retreat.

Yu Xingchui felt that he was Chi Ning's senior brother and should shoulder the responsibility, so after taking a deep breath, he took the initiative to say to Jiang Zhiwei: "There is one thing that I have never confessed to you."

Jiang Zhiwei looked shocked: "Only one?"

Yu Xingchui: "...All right, there are many, but this one is especially important."

"Oh, tell me." Jiang Zhiwei stopped asking questions, and he also knew the atmosphere. For example, at this moment, he clearly felt the seriousness of the matter from his two juniors. Don't dare to let your thoughts run wild like wild horses, and continue to run around, bringing meaningless off-lines.

Jiang Zhiwei's rare obedience and honesty made Yu Xingchui even more unbearable. He felt that his brother was a little stupid, but he was obedient anyway. He really didn't want to destroy his ideal world.

"Master and His Majesty won't be back." Yu Xingshui closed and opened his eyes, but still said what he should have told Jiang Zhiwei a long time ago.

In fact, you will find out when you really say it, and it is not that difficult to confess.It's done, he just needs to talk about it.

The difficulty is actually the process of persuading myself to accept the facts, which is an unspoken tacit understanding that only Yu Xingchui and Chi Ning can understand.It seems that as long as they don't tell the senior brother, the master may still come back.What if?Mr. Yuan may also be wrong.

【Feel sorry. 】Yuan Jun said to Chi Ning.

【This is not your fault. ] Chi Ning only hates the cruelty of the murderer behind the scenes, and hates his own incompetence, but he will not anger others, at least he will not anger Mr. Yuan, 【You have done a lot for me. 】

People's hearts are fleshy, Chi Ning has no heart, but has IQ.He could see that in his relationship with Yuan Jun, at least until now, he was the one taking advantage.He never dared to ask Yuan Jun why, because he had never encountered such a blatant preference in his life, and he was afraid that if he asked, he would wake up from the dream.

Chi Ning knows himself very well. He is really a selfish person, and he never wants to hide this feeling of wanting to be favored by others.He wants to be unique to someone, which is probably why he keeps identifying his son and seeking a relationship.

It's a pity that the master has three disciples, including the Zhennan faction, and even an old rival, Lan Jieting, who can't be said to be an enemy or a friend but cherishes each other.

His senior brothers were not only him from the beginning, they were three brothers.

His sons will also have their own relationships, they will marry wives, have children, have parents, teachers, and countless friends.

As for Chi Ning, he only wants a relationship that belongs to him alone, only him.

It's not just him, he doesn't want it anymore.
