miscalculation

After Ji Lan returned to the capital, she went straight to her grandfather's room.He didn't find anyone in the room, and he didn't see any movement in the study, so he wandered casually and walked around the boss, but he still couldn't see his grandfather.

He strolled into the garden, only to see Ji Langfeng wearing a cloak, sitting in the pavilion, drinking hot tea, quite at ease.

Ji Langfeng didn't turn his head when he heard the movement, and said, "Jingbo, it's rare that you still know to come back."

Ji Lan came forward, knelt aside, and said: "Grandson has been away for several days, and Grandpa Lao is worried."

Ji Langfeng said: "Okay, okay, get up. You used to run around with your master when you were young, and it's not a big deal to go to Lizhou now."

Ji Lan didn't dare to stand up, but still knelt there, and said: "The grandson sneaked into the grandfather's study, checked the customer account book of folded flowers, and asked the grandfather to punish him."

Ji Langfeng said: "Whether it's flowering or folding, it will be up to you sooner or later. You can see it if you want. How can grandpa blame you? But I really don't understand. You never said that you don't want to accept these things." , Who is this worrying about?"

Ji Lan said: "Of course it's for King Qi..."

Ji Langfeng shook his head, and said, "When you grow up, do you want to trick your grandfather? If it's really for the sake of King Qi, you can just ask me directly. Why do you need to be sneaky?"

Ji Lan said: "It's just because... my grandson is afraid that my grandfather is on my aunt's side, and I'm afraid he won't agree with King Qi's matter, so my grandson made this decision."

Ji Langfeng said: "One of you is my grandson, and the other is my grandson. It's a good thing to help each other if you have a good relationship, but how can you do things indiscriminately? I believe that your aunt has her own reasons for wanting to assassinate King Yue. King Qi is young, and his heart is not cruel enough, how could he even get involved with you and spoil your aunt's good deeds?"

After hearing this, Ji Lan realized that Concubine Shu hadn't told her grandfather about Xiao Jue and Xiao Qian.He knew in his heart that for such a rebellious thing, his grandfather would react more than them when he knew about it, and if he didn't do it, he would send all the flower-folding soldiers to kill the King of Yue.

Ji Lan said: "Grandson knows his mistake, and I hope grandpa will punish him."

Ji Langfeng said: "Don't kneel here anymore, get up and talk. If you don't come to help grandfather at grandfather's age, why don't you ask grandfather to help you up?"

After hearing this, Ji Lan got up quickly and sat aside, looking a little hesitant.He wanted to ask his grandfather, knowing why he was a master, why he cooperated with him, but he didn't know whether he should ask.

Ji Langfeng frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Since he raised Ji Ze and Ji Lan, he can almost see what the two grandchildren are thinking at a glance.

Seeing the question, Ji Lan said, "Grandfather, my master is from Erhai Lake, do you know?"

Ji Langfeng asked: "Oh? Did you see your master this time?"

Ji Lan said: "Exactly. It's just that... he is different from the past, and his spirit is not normal. I think things are not simple."

Ji Langfeng smiled and said, "That's right, from the time you saw him, he was no longer the leader of folding flowers. From then on, his spirit would gradually deteriorate, slowly decline, and finally become a dementia."

Ji Lan suddenly stood up and said, "How did it become like this?"

Ji Langfeng said: "Your master Chatian is not only from Erhai, but also the only descendant of the three major families of Erhai. Traveling in the clouds. That's why he slipped through the net when the Erhai Lake was destroyed."

Ji Lan said: "Then why did he meet you and accept me as an apprentice, and why did he become the leader of folding flowers?"

Ji Langfeng said: "When he traveled around the world, he once settled in Jiangling and fell in love with your aunt at first sight. I firmly refused to agree to force your aunt to marry into the imperial concubine. He was disheartened, and he didn't know where he was hiding in the wilderness He stayed in Lingling for several years. Then, when he came out of the mountain, he found that Erhai Lake was in trouble, and rushed to rescue him. But at that time, it was too late, and he felt resentment in his heart. The overall situation was settled, and he had no choice. Down and out, depressed, and bullied by the people of Dongling for wearing Erhai clothes. He was full of martial arts, and he did not resist. He wandered all day, and then passed out on the side of the road. At that time, your father's soldiers passed by, Ben I thought he was a secret agent, but I didn't expect that he had the token of our Jifu, so I took him back."

Ji Lan asked: "This token is...?"

Ji Langfeng smiled wryly: "Of course it was a gift from your aunt in the past. She just said that this token is unique to my Ji family, so that he can come to us in trouble. When your aunt joined the palace, she knelt down and begged me to protect the sky." .So when your father brought him back, I left him to recuperate in the mansion. He drank alcohol every day, but he was depressed."

Ji Lan asked: "And then?"

Ji Langfeng looked up and said, "At that time, the world was initially settled, and His Majesty had three generals, who could be said to be invincible. Do you know who these three are?"

Ji Lan wondered why his grandfather suddenly mentioned this matter, and said, "My grandson knows, it's my father, General Gu, Marshal He."

Ji Langfeng said: "Then do you know how your father died?"

Ji Lan heard it strangely, and said: "It's not that you are outnumbered and ambushed by the enemy army, that's why..."

Ji Langfeng said: "The Holy Majesty has always been suspicious. He has eyes and ears in every army. Your father actually rescued a man from Erhai and brought him back to the mansion. He knows this, so why not doubt it?"

Ji Lan clicked her tongue and said, "Could it be...Could it be..."

Ji Langfeng said: "Just because of this one mistake, your father's life was ruined, and your mother went with him. The two heroes on the battlefield back then became a pair of bloody mandarin ducks overnight."

He will always remember that when he went to the battlefield to find Ji Shaokang's bones, he saw him and his daughter-in-law hugging each other, with thousands of arrows piercing through their hearts.

Ji Langfeng paused for a moment, as if he couldn't breathe, so startled that Ji Lan quickly patted him on the back and comforted him: "Grandfather, don't talk about it."

"Knowing that there was an ambush, the Holy Majesty issued a death order and forced your parents to fight together. This is what happened. At that time, I understood that the hearts of emperors are made of stone. Since your aunt gave birth to King Qi, I hope day and night that he can be the prince and king, so that my Ji family will never have any troubles."

"It is said that the emperor is ruthless, and the grandson can understand today. Father and mother died too unjustly."

"Jingbo, don't be sad. Besides, your master, knowing that your father died because of him, felt guilty, so he secretly wrote to me, wanting to accept you as a disciple and make up for us. At first I disagreed, but you My aunt thought that the ability to observe the sky was extraordinary, so she persuaded me in every possible way, and in the end I had no choice but to nod in acquiescence."

"No wonder Master sneaked in every time he came, taught me for a while, and then ran away again. Or he took me away to teach me in the name of playing, because he was afraid that His Majesty would find out about it and hurt Ji's family. It's just that , Master looks like this now, what is going on?"

"Your aunt was fighting for favor in the harem, and she became more and more powerless. She gradually changed her temper, and she didn't even recognize her grandfather. She wanted to plot against the prince and assassinate the ministers, one by one, paving the way for King Qi to seize the heir. Grandfather's heart Knowing this, it is not the actions of loyal ministers, but it is the only way to do this. The Sanhuamen is led by me, your aunt, and Chatian. But I have always refused to trust Chatian, thinking that he is from Erhai after all, and your aunt will Be ruthless, every time you send a letter, you hide poison in it. Over time, your master will be recruited. However, the dosage has been light for many years, and there is no serious problem, but this time, for some reason, your aunt suddenly made up her mind to abandon Chatian , so he took a ruthless hand."

Ji Lan was surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Why is my aunt like this? After all, Master is someone she once loved, how could he be so vicious?"

Ji Langfeng said: "I didn't want to keep Chatian alive. He knew too many of our secrets, but your aunt couldn't bear to kill him, so she could only make him a useless person. What's more, when Chatian was performing tasks, secretly Using Linhua's influence to do other things, although we can't see the key at the moment, it is not allowed. What if he uses our hands to harm Dongling, what should we do?"

Ji Lan asked: "...Grandfather, is there any medicine that can cure the poison on Master's body?"

Ji Langfeng shook his head and said, "No. Even if there is, I won't tell you."

Ji Lan said, "Grandfather!"

Ji Langfeng said: "Don't talk about it. Also, you should pick a scroll as soon as possible from the pile of picture scrolls in the study. Grandpa wants to drink your wedding wine as soon as possible."

Ji Lan said: "Grandfather, I can take over Sanhua, but the only condition is that the marriage will be postponed for a few years."

Ji Langfeng slapped the table angrily and said, "It's unreasonable, how dare you negotiate terms with your grandfather!"

Ji Lan knelt down and said, "Jingbo is not filial, and I hope my grandfather will calm down."

Ji Langfeng looked at this face that was exactly the same as Ji Shaokang, and asked, "The reason."

Ji Lan said, "Grandson, grandson can't tell."

Ji Langfeng suddenly laughed: "Is there a girl in your fancy? Afraid that your grandfather won't agree? Or have you made a private appointment for life?"

Ji Lan blushed and said, "No!"

Ji Langfeng said: "Don't hide it from me. Back then, your father and your mother made a private decision for life. When he came back, he was afraid that I would disagree, because he looked the same as you now."

Ji Lan said: "What, father and mother are privately determined for life?"

Ji Langfeng said: "Let's talk about it later. If you don't want to marry, your grandfather will not force you. Don't worry, no matter which girl you like, your grandfather will make the decision for you. Even though your aunt wants you to marry She is a lady from a famous family, and it will benefit our Ji family in the future, but if you really like it, you can accept it as a concubine."

Ji Lan shook her head and said, "My grandson will never take a concubine."

Ji Langfeng said: "Ha, I have the same temperament as your father, and I will hang myself from a tree in this life. Whatever, it's up to you. From tomorrow onwards, Linhua and Zhehua will be handed over to you. If you mess up, you will be punished." Trained."

Ji Lan nodded and said, "Yes."
