Mo didn't pretend to thank you, and sat down after handing over his hands to thank him.The emperor put down the memorial and looked up at Ji Xiamo for a moment, his deep and hoarse voice was no longer as sharp as before. "After a few years of separation and reunion, the fearless young man who was once high-spirited and vigorous seems to be a completely different person from now."

"I hope the emperor will not blame Xia Mo for recklessly rushing against the emperor when I was young."

"Flowers bloom and fade at the end of winter and spring, but the only thing that remains the same is the aging of the four seasons." The emperor covered his mouth and coughed, and the dandelion quickly brought tea to pass.

Perhaps the older he was, the more sad he would be. Looking at the vicissitudes of the emperor in the palace, and thinking of the chaotic rebellion outside the city wall, Ji Xiamo suddenly felt a little pity for the Ninth Five Lord in front of him.

If born in an ordinary family, it may be a different situation, with children and grandchildren enjoying family happiness.It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world, and the royal family is ruthless. Whoever can make it to the end is not stepping on the ground with bloody corpses.

"How are you going to deal with the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden of the New Year Banquet?"

"The emperor trusts Xia Mo, and Xia Mo is duty-bound." Ji Xiamo got up to show his firmness. "Find out the truth of the case and hand it over to the emperor to deal with it according to our court's laws."

Although the emperor was seriously ill, he was still not confused. He obviously felt that the case was full of doubts.The kings were in chaos, and Ji Xiamo used this to express his position. He was only loyal to the emperor, and no matter who was involved in the case, he would severely punish him.

The emperor looked at Ji Xiamo with a gloomy expression, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. "You are very similar to your father, so I trust the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The courtiers split into the camps of the kings during the rebellion, and few remained on the sidelines. Ji Ye of the prime minister's house and Qin Zhaoqin of the general's house were the emperor's right-hand men. Ji Xiamo had long told Ji Ye and Qin Zhaoqin to be clean.

"The case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden is free to investigate, and I will be your backing." The emperor gave Ji Xiamo the highest authority. "The results of the case will be presented to me directly, and those involved will be killed without mercy if they cover up and conceal it."

"Follow the emperor's order." No matter what the outcome of this case is, the red walls of the imperial palace will probably become scarier again.

As soon as Ji Xiamo came out of the imperial study, Jin Wuji hurriedly helped Ji Xiamo put on the cloak. Looking at the magnificent palace building, Ji Xiamo only felt the bone-chilling cold.

This prison city has piled up countless corpses since it was built, so why do you want to come in desperately, ride horses freely, and travel the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles?

Ji Xiamo hugged her icy arms, looked at the Golden Palace and murmured, "The red wall is wrong, Furong is crying; the makeup of the spring withered mirror is broken, and the slanting reflection of the boudoir has not returned; Jincheng is about to get drunk, when will the deceased return after crying..."

"Xia Mo!" Qin Yan stared forward and quickly covered Ji Xiamo's mouth.

Jin Wuji picked up the broken dye to separate Qin Yan, and hit Qin Yan's chest with the sword to shake him away.Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's shoulder with one hand, and looked at Qin Yan with cold eyes.

Qin Yan clutched his aching chest and stared at Jin Wuji fiercely, then looked at Ji Xiamo and scolded in a low voice, "You are crazy, dare to say these disturbing lyrics in the palace."

Ji Xiamo rubbed his forehead and frowned, Qin Yan looked around vigilantly, motioned to Jin Wuji and said, "Follow me first, I will take you to the courtyard where you rest."

Ji Xiamo followed Qin Yan to leave, and the passing inner guards saluted Qin Yan respectfully.Qin Yan took Ji Xiamo away from the palace where the emperor lived, and went to a remote corner of the palace where a courtyard had been sorted out.

The inner guard who had been waiting here for a long time bowed his hands and saluted Qin Yan when he saw Qin Yan. Qin Yan pushed the door and let Ji Xiamo in first. "Although it has been abandoned for many years, I have cleaned it up and it is considered spacious."

"It's just a temporary stay, just clean and simple." Ji Xiamo entered the room and found a place to sit down.

Qin Yan frowned and looked around, then turned around and lifted up his robe and went out of the house, cursing at the guards in the courtyard with a bluffing face. "It's all bastard stuff, tell your stove."

The inner guards who were scolded looked at each other, and said bravely against Qin Yan's anger, "Commander Qin, Tan Huo has already ordered to go to the internal affairs to get it."

Seeing the troubled expressions of the brothers below, Qin Yan couldn't figure out the reason, "This group of bullying and snobbish slaves!"

Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's shoulders, and his internal energy continuously warmed Ji Xiamo's body.Looking at Ji Xiamo's thin body, Fang Linjun untied his cloak and handed it to Jin Wuji. "Xiaomo is weak, put him on so he won't freeze."

Seeing that Fang Lin was only wearing plain clothes, Chu Lingyou frowned faintly, and quickly untied the cloak to help Fang Lin wrap it up. "I'm not afraid of the cold, you dress well."

Fang Linjun tightened his neckline in silence, lowered his eyelids slightly and did not speak.

Ji Xiamo got up and leaned on Jin Wuji and walked to the door, reached out to stop Qin Yan who wanted to raise his sword to kill the internal affairs, glanced at the internal guards in the courtyard, took out the gold medal with the word "Nine Dragons and Phoenix" and threw it to them. "Take the gold medal and go to the internal affairs, and ask them how much charcoal fire the gold medal can mortgage."

When seeing the gold medal with Nine Dragons and Phoenix characters, the guards in the courtyard immediately knelt down in panic. The gold medal with Nine Dragons and Phoenix characters is like the emperor's presence, even the royal family and nobles have to salute when they see it.

Although Ji Xiamo was cautious and restrained, he was not a wimp who would allow the bullies to be bullied and swallow his anger.He is the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion, and he was chosen by the emperor to investigate the case, so it's not up to them eunuchs to bully him.

"Retell them what I just said." Ji Xiamo's voice was cold and piercing. "If you feel that the gold medal is not enough to exchange for those charcoal fires, then do I need to ask the emperor to come forward?"

"Yes, Master Ji calm down, I'll go after this." The inner guard respectfully took the gold medal and turned to leave the courtyard.

"Xia Mo, I'm sorry." Qin Yan looked at Ji Xiamo guiltily. "It's because I didn't arrange it properly, and you were wronged."

"It has nothing to do with you." Ji Xiamo entered the room and sat back on the chair, with a calm expression but cold and sharp eyes. "No matter how bad I am, Ji Xiamo, I won't be able to be bullied by these slaves."

"The emperor ordered me to investigate the case, and their life and death are in my hands, how dare they be so arrogant." Ji Xiamo sneered. "I really think that I am a soft persimmon kneaded at will."

Trembling from the hostility in Ji Xiamo's eyes, Qin Yan scratched his head to comfort him, "Don't be angry Xia Mo, I'll teach them a lesson for you someday."

Ji Xiamo put away her fierce aura, looked up at Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun and said, "Look for a room to live in first, since I brought you into the palace, I will definitely not let you be bullied."

"I'm relieved to hang out with you." Fang Linjun teased.

"Do you want to rest?" Jin Wuji squatted beside Ji Xiamo and asked softly.

Ji Xiamo shook his head silently and said, "I'm not tired yet. I'll eat when the charcoal fire is delivered later, and then Qin Yan, take me to see the corpse first."

Ji Xiamo thought for a while, then looked at Qin Yan and asked, "The body hasn't been buried yet, right?"

"Corpse is not perishable in cold weather. I will send internal guards to guard it all day, just waiting for your autopsy." Qin Yan said. "I also circled the lotus pond where the crime took place, and the palace people are not allowed to approach."

"Who taught you these things." Ji Xiamo looked at Qin Yan in surprise.

Qin Yan grinned grinningly, "We have solved a few cases before, so we know how you can cooperate with you."

A smile flashed across Ji Xiamo's eyes as he recalled the Iron Triangle of the Imperial City. "You did very well."

There seemed to be a wind blowing outside the window, and dark clouds surged in the gloomy sky, as if heralding the beginning of a conspiracy.

[Main text Episode 153 when the investigation is in progress]

How dare the eunuchs go to pick up the charcoal fire when they took the gold medal to the internal affairs, they knelt and kowtowed, shaking their heads in fright.As for the internal guards who followed Qin Yan, they were full of bad taste.

He pretended to be stern and selfless, but in reality he was talking nonsense to scare these bullying slaves.Then pick the best ones and leave arrogantly with the looted loot.

As long as the charcoal stove mattress is warm, Qin Yan will bring it to Ji Xiamo, and prepare it for him according to his Meiyuan standard.The room like an ice cellar gradually warmed up. Seeing that Ji Xiamo's expression returned to normal, Qin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

After a simple meal, Ji Xiamo followed Qin Yan to the morgue.The secluded and desolate courtyard, surrounded by piles of dead branches and fallen leaves, gave off a gloomy chill for no reason.

Ji Xiamo stared at the courtyard with frowned eyebrows, and the evil spirit surrounding her looked extremely oppressive. If ordinary people were exposed to the evil spirit for a long time and invaded their bodies, they might be killed.

"Who used to live here." Ji Xiamo asked Qin Yan beside him.

Qin Yan was asking the inner guard to open the room. Hearing Ji Xiamo's question, he thought for a moment and said, "It used to be the courtyard where the maids lived. It is said that later the plague spread in the palace, and all the court ladies and eunuchs infected with the plague were raped here."

"It seems that they all died in the end, and then this place was abandoned. Now there are people who made mistakes in the palace and were killed, and they will be stored here before being transported out of the palace for burial."

Ji Xiamo paced around twice, with pity flashing in his eyes.Countless innocent souls in the deep palace are buried here, no wonder the evil spirit is so strong.

The talisman burned between his fingers, and Ji Xiamo closed his eyes to save the dead souls.The talisman was completely burned, and Ji Xiamo opened his eyes and looked at the dissipated golden fragments around him, sighing softly, "May the suffering in the next life end." '

Fang Linjun and Chu Lingyou, who had traveled with Ji Xiamo in the rivers and lakes, both vaguely guessed it, and stopped walking when they saw the desolate surroundings, and continued to follow after Ji Xiamo flicked off the ashes of the burnt talisman between their fingers.

"Xia Mo, it's been rumored in the imperial city that you practice the strange art of Dunjia, do you really want to be a magic stick?" Qin Yan smiled and winked at Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo smiled indifferently, and walked towards the house, missing Qin Yan. "Let's go."

After ordering the inner guard to wait outside, Qin Yan followed Ji Xiamo into the room.As soon as I stepped in, I smelled a pungent fishy smell, like the nausea of ​​carrion and maggots.

"The corpses are left here all the year round, so the smell is inevitable." Qin Yan said awkwardly, rubbing his nose.

Jin Wuji frowned and glanced at Qin Yan, took out the incense-burned silk and handed it to Ji Xiamo. Although Ji Xiamo was used to the smell of rotting corpses, he did not refuse Jin Wuji's kindness.

Covering the nose with the silk, the light scent of sweet-scented osmanthus pervades the sense of smell, blocking the smell of rotting corpses in the room.Ji Xiamo remembered Qin Yan's embarrassment during the autopsy in the case of Pan's extermination, and asked with a joke, "Do I need to avoid it?"

Seeing the mockery in Ji Xiamo's eyes, the corners of Qin Yan's mouth twitched. "I'm the leader now."

Ji Xiamo entered the room with a smile, and Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun looked puzzled, wondering why Ji Xiamo was suddenly so happy.

Old bed boards are displayed in the empty morgue, and the dark yellow old wood is mottled with ink, which is the trace left by the blood accumulated over the years and seeped into the wood.

Ji Xiamo walked to the only corpse in the corner of the room, handed back the silk to Jin Wuji, and stretched out his hand to lift off the covering cloth of the corpse.

The deceased was still a very young girl, thin and petite, and still considered pretty.Ji Xiamo pushed back the dead man's hair and bent down to look at the fatal wound in the dead man's throat.

Ji Xiamo carefully examined the body of the deceased, and both Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun were surprised by his serious expression. They had never seen Ji Xiamo like this before.

If you want to say that Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun's biggest feeling for Ji Xiamo is that he is cheap, as if everything is an insignificant game in his eyes.

Looking at Ji Xiamo with a serious expression and sharp eyes, they suddenly remembered those comments about Ji Xiamo.Prince Ji Chang of the imperial city is Qiqiao Linglong, resourceful and resourceful, and he is a man of great wisdom.

"The only fatal injury was the neck. Cut the throat and die, and then throw the corpse into the lotus pond." Ji Xiamo looked at the deceased and concluded.

"There are minor injuries on the body. Some are old scars and some are recent injuries. They should be bullied often." Ji Xiamo pulled up the sleeve of the deceased, revealing a terrifying arm.Although the deceased had been dead for several days, the corpses were covered with spots, but the traces of scalding and cutting with sharp knives could still be seen on the arms.

Qin Yan frowned, "It's common for concubines in the palace to teach their servants a lesson."

"Are you sure it's a lesson?" Fang Linjun looked disgusted. "It's torture."

Ji Xiamo's hand fell on the collar of the deceased's chest, and he looked sideways at Jin Wuji and said, "Do you mind if I unbutton the clothes for an autopsy?"

"Mind." The cold word made Ji Xiamo retract his hand, and Jin Wuji glanced at the chest of the deceased from the corner of his eye, feeling that the position Ji Xiamo just touched was an eyesore.

"There is no mud in the mouth and nose. It is presumed that after the throat was cut, he fell to the ground first. During the death, the murderer took something from the deceased." Ji Xiamo raised the deceased's hand and let Qin Yan look at the scratched fingers of the deceased. .

"The color of the lips is normal, and there is no foul smell in the mouth. For the time being, it is determined that there is no poisoning." Ji Xiamo put down the hand of the deceased, stared at it for a moment, and suddenly squatted down to bring his face closer.

Ji Xiamo supported the bed board and stared for a while, then carefully opened the dead man's fingers, and took out the blood-stained thread from the dead man's nails.

The silk thread is very short and has been soaked in blood, and the material cannot be discerned at all.Ji Xiamo held the dead man's hand and looked through it carefully, and then found a rag the size of a fingernail in the gap between the cuffs.

Ji Xiamo picked up the rag, looked at it against the light from the window for a while, and whispered to himself, "This material is not like the clothes of the dead."

"Brother Jin." Ji Xiamo called Jin Wuji, and Jin Wuji quickly took out the cut oil paper bag and handed it to Ji Xiamo. Ji Xiamo put the rags into the bag, got up and handed it to Qin Yan, "find this Where the fabric came from, don't tell anyone."

"Okay, I'll do it myself." Qin Yan put away the oil paper bag and promised with a nod.

Ji Xiamo looked at the deceased for a moment, then turned and walked outside the house, "Let the deceased be buried in peace."

Qin Yan chased Ji Xiamo out of the house, and called the inner guard to bring hot water for Ji Xiamo to wash his hands. "Where are you going next?"

"Go and have a look at the place where the crime happened." Ji Xiamo murmured after taking the silk handed over by Jin Wuji to wipe his hands.

"Xiaomo, can your body hold it up?" Fang Linjun frowned.

"I'm fine." Ji Xiamo smiled gently. "Solve the case as soon as possible and the emperor can explain to him, and we can leave as soon as possible."

Jin Wuji held Ji Xiamo's shoulders, his cold eyes showed worry, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"I'm really fine." Ji Xiamo looked helpless, it seemed that his delicate image was fixed. "I'll definitely pay attention." I still want to be with you for a few more years.

Qin Yan led the way and followed Ji Xiamo to the Imperial Garden. Someone had just died in the Imperial Garden, and Qin Yan surrounded the lotus pond to prohibit approaching, so the Imperial Garden seemed relatively deserted.

Ji Xiamo paced by the lotus pond, the blood on the ground disappeared with the melting snow, and all traces were buried.

Ji Xiamo changed positions around the lotus pond, his eyes scanned the surroundings, simulating and imagining the scene of the dead being killed.

"Have you found the murder weapon?" Ji Xiamo asked Qin Yan beside him.

"not yet."

"The murderer attacked and cut the dead man's throat from behind. Obviously, he had been lurking here for a long time, and planned the assassination." Ji Xiamo analyzed the scene of the dead man's murder in an orderly manner. "The murder weapon was prepared in advance and could be easily carried and concealed. A dagger is very likely."

"It's possible that the murderer took it away and destroyed it." Chu Lingyou guessed.

"I don't think so." Ji Xiamo shook her head. "It is forbidden to carry weapons in the palace, except for the inner guards. In the harem, the rooms of the eunuchs and maids are often searched."

"There is the blood of the dead on the murder weapon. During the New Year's banquet, all the inner guards are dispatched to patrol. If the murder weapon is carried with you, the strong smell of blood cannot escape the sense of smell of the inner guards."

Ji Xiamo pondered for a moment, then turned around and told Qin Yan, "Let the inner guards search the surroundings carefully, and you will definitely find the murder weapon."

"And in the lotus pond." Ji Xiamo pointed at the frozen lotus pond. "Focus on looking."

Qin Yan looked at the lotus pond with hesitation, "The lotus pond is so big and frozen, it will be very difficult to find it."

"Then I'll jump in and look for it." Ji Xiamo said as he was about to undo his cloak.

Jin Wuji held Ji Xiamo's shoulders and pulled him back, his dark pupils were full of anger.Qin Yan also jumped up in fright, and waved his hands repeatedly at Ji Xiamo, "I'll definitely find it, don't jump."

Ji Xiamo was already weak, if he jumped into this icy lake, he probably wouldn't survive tonight.If Ji Xiamo died, Ji Ye would kill him, and he would commit suicide in fear of crime.

Seeing Qin Yan's eager look, Ji Xiamo pursed his lips and laughed, and let go of his hand to untie the cloak. "Is there a magnet in the palace?"

"I can find it, but not many." Qin Yan didn't know why Ji Xiamo asked such a question, so he could only nod ignorantly.

"Collect the magnets and put them in a net bag, and drag them with a rope and put them into the lake." Ji Xiamo said.

"The murder weapon is made of iron. If it comes into contact with a magnet, it will definitely be attracted." Fang Linjun clapped his hands and instantly understood what Ji Xiamo meant.

"Little Lin is smarter." Ji Xiamo nodded with a smile.

"Since there is no way, you still want to jump into the lake, scaring me to death." Qin Yan complained with staring eyes.

After Qin Yan gave orders, Ji Xiamo looked up at the sky getting dark, then turned to look at Fang Linjun and Chu Lingyou. "What would you like to eat tonight?"

Fang Linjun thought for a long time, then grinned and said, "When you were at Lijiumen, you made a good hot pot, let's eat it tonight."

"Do you want to eat? I want to too." Qin Yan interjected.

"You can't eat spicy food." Jin Wuji said to Ji Xiamo.

"Then don't eat spicy food, and make it lighter. Whoever wants to eat spicy food can mix it up and put it in a bowl." The cold weather is just right for hot pot.

After discussing the dinner for the evening, Ji Xiamo told Qin Yan, "Give me all the information about the deceased's entry into the palace, and I'll keep a close eye on it."

"It's been prepared a long time ago, and I'll ask someone to deliver it to you later."

"Okay." Ji Xiamo was also tired from running around all day, fearing that he would fall ill again, Ji Xiamo called Jin Wuji to stop and prepare to go back. "Let's go."

"tired?"

"A little, I'm a little hungry." Ji Xiamo smiled. "It's been a long time since I ran like this."

"Eat later, I'll make you some ginger tea first."

"Ah."

[Main text Episode 154 You are mine]

It was late at night after we had dinner together, and Qin Yan still had to inspect the palace, so he left. Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun also went back to their rooms to rest for fear of disturbing Ji Xiamo.

The candlelight dimly reflected the reflection beside the case, and Ji Xiamo leaned on the back of the chair, using the candle to browse through the deceased's information.

The name of the deceased was Ruyue. Before entering the palace, she was a girl from a common people's family. After entering the palace for two years, she was arranged to serve in the queen's bedroom.Ruyue's information is very clean, but because of this, Ji Xiamo feels even more weird. If it is really that simple, then why did she suddenly die in vain? Who killed this ordinary court lady so viciously.

Ji Xiamo stared at the information in his hand and frowned. Jin Wuji stood in the dark courtyard, opposite Lou Yin, who was dressed in a white robe.

The white robe flutters with the wind, and the silver hair is intertwined with silk threads. Lou Yin looks at the reflection in front of the window, and the sadness in the depths of Liuli's black eyes is fleeting.

"Thank you so much for these years." Jin Wuji's thanks were sincere, if not for Lou Yin, maybe he and Ji Xiamo would never see each other again in this lifetime.

Lou Yin waved his wide sleeves, the silver thread fluttered with a faint scent of camellia.Lou Yin looked away, his eyes were indifferent, "Sheng Kong saved you, it has nothing to do with you if I treat Ji Xiamo well."

"I know what you want, but he is my destiny." Jin Wuji was sharp and suppressed, Ji Xiamo was his everything, no matter who Jin Wuji was, he would never allow him to snatch Ji Xiamo from him.

Lou Yin looked at Jin Wuji for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the vast darkness.Jin Wuji stood in the darkness, the darkness in the depths of his pupils was lingering and unpredictable.

The half-covered window was pushed open, and Ji Xiamo called softly, "Brother Jin, it's cold in the middle of the night, come in quickly."

Jin Wuji suppressed the emotions in his eyes, turned around and looked at Ji Xiamo tenderly, "I'll go in right away, and quickly put down the window."

Jin Wuji quickly stepped into the room, helped Ji Xiamo gather up the cloak, and replaced the hand stove and foot stove with new charcoal. "It's past Haishi, go and rest as soon as possible." Jin Wuji took a new candle and put it on the table, took out the ointment and massaged Ji Xiamo's forehead.

Ji Xiamo relied on Jin Wuji's arms, lazily unwilling to move.Jin Wuji slowed down, trying to make Ji Xiamo as comfortable as possible. "Don't be too tired, it will be bad if the condition gets worse."

"I really think I'm a delicate dodder." Ji Xiamo said with a smile.

"Dodder flower?" Jin Wuji was puzzled, why hadn't he heard of this kind of flower.

The coolness of the medicine on the forehead and Jin Wuji's massage made Ji Xiamo feel very comfortable. Rubbing Jin Wuji's chest, he muttered in a low voice, "Parasitic plants are a metaphor for people who can only rely on the strong to survive."

Ji Xiamo opened his eyes and looked at Jin Wuji's resolute profile, and murmured thoughtfully. "As if I did always depend on you."

Jin Wuji smiled, bent down and kissed Ji Xiamo's eyes. "So good."

Ji Xiamo hugged Jin Wuji's neck, raised her head and kissed his lips, briefly tender and lingering, Ji Xiamo approached Jin Wuji's ear and smiled, "Do you want to do it with me?"

Jin Wuji's eyes darkened. Of course he missed Ji Xiamo's body, but Ji Xiamo's body was fragile now. Even if Jin Wuji wanted to touch him, he could only suppress Ji Xiamo's illness.

Looking into Jin Wuji's dark eyes, Ji Xiamo knew what he was thinking, sighed helplessly, Ji Xiamo gathered the documents, got up and walked to the bed, untied his belt and took off his coat.

The thin inner shirt wrapped Ji Xiamo's thin body, and the loose neckline vaguely revealed the delicate collarbone. Jin Wuji stared closely at Ji Xiamo's body with dark eyes and an unpredictable expression.

Ji Xiamo stretched out his hand to Jin Wuji, Jin Wuji approached Ji Xiamo as if bewitched, Ji Xiamo wrapped his arms around Jin Wuji's neck, and rubbed his lips against Jin Wuji's ear intentionally.The scorching heat of Ji Xiamo's body almost burned Jin Wuji.

"Momo..." Jin Wuji's voice was hoarse, but he restrained himself from moving.

A smile flashed across Ji Xiamo's eyes, and he stroked Jin Wuji's back with his fingers and whispered, "Be gentle."

Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo's waist tightly, his eyes were faintly red.Suppressing the urge to violently overwhelm Ji Xiamo, Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo by the waist, and put him gently on the bed.

Staring into Ji Xiamo's eyes, Jin Wuji bent over and wrapped him in his arms, tentatively inserting his palms into his clothes. "Tell me if you don't feel well."

"Okay." Looking at Jin Wuji with gentle connivance in his eyes, Ji Xiamo was a little helpless for Jin Wuji's care with fragile items.

"Momo, you are mine."

Jin Wuji is willing to kill gods and Buddhas, and is willing to be an enemy of the world. As long as he can be by Ji Xiamo's side, Jin Wuji will never regret it even if his soul is scattered for a thousand eons.

Sheng Kong sits quietly on the top of the peak to practice, the bright moon is in the sky, the night is quiet, the plain white monk robe is spread out under the knees, the moonlight is cold and shrouded in the eyebrows, looking from a distance, it is as compassionate and sacred as a real Buddha sitting on a lotus.

The white bird spread its wings in the air, and Sheng Kong opened his eyes, watching the white bird hovering in the moonlight with its wings dancing, and finally landed on the rock beside him.

Touching the white sparrow's feathers, the void lotus turned golden and disappeared into the darkness.Sheng Kong frowned faintly, and sighed softly, "The catastrophe is coming, I need to go to the imperial city to help as soon as possible."

The white sparrow spread its wings and croaked, its feathers fluttered on Sheng Kong's monk's robe, and the catastrophe was calculated between his fingers, but it was vague, chaotic and unpredictable.Shengkong looked into the distance and murmured, "Ji Xiamo and Jin Wuji's catastrophe is connected to me, and the cycle of karma has long been doomed."

The white bird spread its wings and left, Sheng Kong raised his monk's robe and stood up, the rhythm of the prayer beads was a little messy.After a moment of silence, Shengkong turned and left. 'That's all, this time I went to the imperial city, it's a blessing or a disaster, but it's fate. '

The bone sparrow squatted in the bushes, watching Sheng Kong's gradually disappearing figure, the bone sparrow pinched his fingers into the branches with hatred, his eyes were scarlet and sinister. "Ji Xiamo, it's you again!"

Jin Wuji was concerned that Ji Xiamo's body had tried his best to pay attention, but he still made Ji Xiamo so tired that he gradually woke up from a coma.After not doing it for a long time, Ji Xiamo felt more pain behind her than the first time.

Nestling in Jin Wuji's arms, Ji Xiamo held Jin Wuji's hand and looked at it. Jin Wuji's sword hand was different from his. Compared with Jin Wuji, Ji Xiamo felt like a pet kept in a cage, while Jin Wuji It is a restrained but ferocious wolf.

Ji Xiamo bit Jin Wuji's wrist, grinding out pink tooth marks.Ji Xiamo showed a sly smile, "This is a sign of possession."

Jin Wuji wrapped his thin body in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Ji Xiamo's shoulder. "Just rest today."

"The case cannot be delayed. Even if the emperor did not set a time limit, if the delay is too long, the emperor may easily think too much." Ji Xiamo shook his head and rejected Jin Wuji's suggestion.

Jin Wuji frowned, wishing he could rob Ji Xiamo out of the palace and flee to the Jianghu. The imperial city is now in danger, and he was really afraid that Ji Xiamo would be hurt because of it.

"Let's go to the queen's bedroom to check first." Ji Xiamo rubbed his brows and felt a little headache. What he was most afraid of was dealing with concubines in the harem.

"The empress is cruel, sensitive and suspicious, this trip may be difficult." Jin Wuji said.

"The deceased, Ruyue, belonged to the Queen's Palace, so she should go to ask about it."

"I don't want you to be wronged." Jin Wuji held Ji Xiamo's hand and said coldly.

"At most, the queen just said a few words of sarcasm. I was ordered to investigate the case, so how could she kill me?" Ji Xiamo comforted Jin Wuji with a smile. "I just have to be careful not to offend."

Jin Wuji's brows remained cold, Ji Xiamo pondered for a moment and said, "The harem is originally a forbidden area, Lingyou and Xiao Lin can't follow, you are the emperor's bodyguard, you have to follow closely to protect me."

"Naturally." Even in the Hell Hall of Yama, he would follow Tight Ji Xia Mo and protect him with his life.

"According to the records, there was also a girl named Ruyu who entered the palace with Ruyue. Let Qin Yan take Lingyou and Xiao Lin to investigate this Ruyu."

"There are still yesterday's rags, let Qin Yan tidy up the results and tell me as soon as possible."

Seeing Ji Xiamo's orderly order, Jin Wuji was angry and helpless, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ji Xiamo's cheek, "You can't be less busy."

"The earlier the case is closed, the earlier we can leave. Even though this palace is luxurious, it is not as relaxed as my Meiyuan." Ji Xiamo propped himself up and sat up. "Get up, Qin Yan, don't bump into him again later."

"Do you mind if he knows about our affairs?" Jin Wuji asked.

Looking at Jin Wuji's strong figure, Ji Xiamo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I don't mind, but I'm afraid of scaring that idiot."

A smile flashed across Jin Wuji's eyes, he lifted the quilt and got up.Ji Xiamo watched Jin Wuji change clothes, expressing his satisfaction with Jin Wuji's figure. "I want to eat Tangxin Lantern Festival."

"I'll eat something light in the morning, and I'll make it for you at noon on the Lantern Festival." Jin Wuji directly rejected Ji Xiamo's request.

"But I really want to eat." Ji Xiamo leaned forward and grabbed Jin Wuji's sleeve, the quilt slipped off, revealing red marks all over his body.

Jin Wuji's eyes dimmed, and he pulled up the cotton quilt to wrap Ji Xiamo. "After eating those sweet and greasy Lantern Festival, let the imperial doctor give you medicine?"

Ji Xiamo looked disappointed, Ji Xiamo had a poor appetite, and occasionally wanted to eat some snacks but had to keep her mouth shut.Even though Jin Wuji felt distressed, for the sake of Ji Xiamo's body, he had no choice but to harden his heart and stop Ji Xiamo's food.

Jin Wuji stroked Ji Xiamo's cheek and comforted him, "Eat some clear porridge first, and I'll make you Tangxin Lantern Festival when I come back at noon, okay?"

Knowing that Jin Wuji was doing it for his own good, Ji Xiamo cheered up and nodded slightly. "Okay, I want to eat lotus seed porridge and fried chicken with mushrooms."

"Yes." Jin Wuji nodded with a smile.

Waiting for Ji Xiamo to get up, because she was going to the queen's bedroom today, Ji Xiamo chose a white brocade toga with light-colored peach blossoms embroidered on the collar and sleeves, which was simple, elegant and elegant.

Looking at the indifferent young man in front of him, who looked like a banished fairy, Jin Wuji lost his mind for a moment.Wrapping his fingers around Ji Xiamo's black hair, Jin Wuji suddenly felt that Ji Xiamo was like a god in the nine heavens, and he was just a wandering soul struggling in hell, who could only look into the distance but not touch.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Xiamo's voice brought Jin Wuji back to his senses.

Looking at the young man's beautiful eyebrows in the mirror, Jin Wuji hugged Ji Xiamo from behind, and buried his face in Ji Xiamo's black hair. "No."

In the depths of the hidden eyes, the scarlet color is fleeting. He used to be a corpse with no way back, but now?What is he now.

"Momo, I really don't want to let you go"

"Who told you to let me go, idiot." Ji Xiamo laughed.

"I will live..." Try to live, even though he is not alive at all now.

[Main text Episode 155 Tangxin Yuanxiao]

After washing up and having breakfast, Ji Xiamo ordered Chu Lingyou, Fang Linjun, and Qin Yan to investigate Ruyu, while he took Jin Wuji to the queen's bedroom. Qin Yan was worried that Ji Xiamo would be bullied, so he wanted to send his inner guards to protect him , was rejected by Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo just wanted to inquire about the case, if the extravagance caused alarm, the gain would outweigh the loss.Leaving only the inner guards leading the way, Ji Xiamo and Jin Wuji set off.

The harem was originally a forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, and Ji Xiamo's appearance attracted the attention of passing palace passers-by.Ji Xiamo led the inner guards to the Queen's Palace. Ji Xiamo revealed her identity, but was ridiculed by the eunuch who guarded the gate and blocked the gate of the palace to prevent Ji Xiamo from entering.

Ji Xiamo raised his hand to stop the inner guard who wanted to argue, but Jin Wuji made a half-step forward and showed a gold medal with the word "nine dragon and phoenix" with a cold face.Ji Xiamo gathered the cloak around the collar, looked at the stunned eunuch and said in a low voice, "I am under the emperor's secret order to investigate the case, and anyone who intends to obstruct or conceals the knowledge will be killed."

The gatekeeper eunuch came to his senses, kneeling on the ground with trembling legs. "The slave was stupid and offended the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive the slave."

Seeing the eunuch kneeling and trembling at Jin Wuji's feet, disgust flashed in Ji Xiamo's eyes, "Please go and report to the queen. Ji Xiamo is here on imperial orders to investigate the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Royal Garden during the New Year Banquet."

"Your Excellency, wait here, and this servant will report to your empress." The servant kowtowed to accept the order, bent over and left tremblingly.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the eunuch guarding the gate ran back outside the hall, put his shoulders on his shoulders and shrank his head, not daring to look at Ji Xiamo. "Report to my lord, the empress has an invitation from the main hall."

"You wait outside the hall, guard Jin will follow me in." Ji Xiamo ordered the guards to lead the way, and led Jin Wuji into the hall with the eunuch.

Following the eunuch who led the way to the main hall, Ji Xiamo looked around out of the corner of his eye. The empress had a phoenix life, and ordinary ghosts were too afraid to get close.Although the queen's bedroom is not a place of blessing, it does not have any evil spirits. It seems that there is indeed something inside the queen's encounter with a ghost.

The leading eunuch backed away, and Ji Xiamo stepped into the main hall.Sandalwood pillars embedded with pearls are extravagant, jade cups are exquisite and vivid lotus, jade bead curtains are closed, and the wind blows and sways crisply and melodiously.The carved and hollowed-out golden furnace burns spices, and the palace is filled with a rich and exotic fragrance, which is lingering and gentle, making people feel relaxed.

The green veil in front of the main seat in the hall is hazy, and the figure leaning on the soft pillow can be vaguely seen, stroking the warm jade Ruyi in his hand.

"Grassman Ji Xiamo sees the empress." Ji Xiamo stopped her thoughts and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Get up." The lazy voice carried a sluggish temptation. "Gao Yu, give me a seat."

"Yes." The queen approached the eunuch to receive the order, turned around and motioned for the serving maid to bring a chair and serve hot tea.

After Ji Xiamo thanked him, Jin Wuji helped Ji Xiamo get up and sit down. Looking at the graceful figure behind the green curtain, Ji Xiamo said respectfully, "Xia Mo was appreciated by the emperor and was ordered to investigate the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden. According to the records, the deceased Its name is Ruyue, and it belongs to the empress's palace."

"There are so many people serving in the palace, and I can't remember clearly. These are managed by Gao Yu. If you want to know, Young Master Ji, just ask him." The queen said.

Gao Yu bent down to accept the order, turned to look at Ji Xiamo and said, "Ruyue is indeed a servant in the palace. She is usually taciturn and doesn't like to talk, so she is not pleasing."

"When I learned that Ruyue was killed, I was also shocked. Who on earth had such a grudge against her and wanted to take her life?" Gao Yu shook his head and sighed, with a pitiful and sad expression.

"My condolences." Ji Xiamo nodded in comfort, and asked after thinking about it, "Ruyue died on the night of the New Year's banquet. I don't know where she was at that time."

"Your Majesty will go to the banquet with His Majesty, and everyone will stay in the palace except for the maids who follow her."

"Ruyue left the palace to go to the imperial garden, but who is she going to see?" This was what Ji Xiamo was very concerned about. It stands to reason that the servants in the concubine palace rarely leave the palace except when ordered by their master.

"The servant has already asked about this matter. Ruyue left quietly that night without telling anyone." Gao Yu answered Ji Xiamo's question very cooperatively, and did not shy away from Ji Xiamo's question in the slightest.

"During Ruyue's lifetime, there were people who had grudges."

"Juyue is timid, and endures grievances. Her character should be very difficult to offend anyone."

Ji Xiamo asked Gao Yu some questions one after another, and Gao Yu knew everything. Such a cooperative attitude made Ji Xiamo frown a little, feeling that there was something else going on.

"Who is this palace's person? Who is so bold to challenge this palace?" The queen's tone was cold and indifferent, and then she sighed softly. "What a well-behaved child, he just disappeared like this."

"Young lady, don't be sad, take good care of the phoenix's body." Gao Yu handed tea to the queen, comforting softly.

The queen took a sip of ginseng tea, and looked at Ji Xiamo through the green veil, "Master Ji is loved by the emperor, and I hope that Ji Xiamo will find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Xia Mo will definitely solve the case and catch the murderer, and give justice to the deceased." Ji Xiamo's deep black eyes are like bottomless whirlpools.
