The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Because the mainstream of Xiang'an County was in poor health after giving birth, Yang Qinji often went out from the palace to visit his sister, and the empress dowager couldn't stop her.

These days, Yang Qinji went out of the palace more frequently.

On this day, he left the palace, went to Dingguohou's mansion, and had a conversation with Princess Xiang'an, who was still raising her body. The confidant guarded the door outside, and then said to Yang Qinji, "Fourth brother, the situation in Jiangnan is not good now, and the father may raise trouble in the next two months."

Yang Qinji was ready and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Princess Xiang'an said, "Second brother means that we should not act rashly. Before the king's father takes action, he will find a way to take us away from here. Second brother said that he will definitely keep us."

Yang Qinji nodded. He has been in the palace for more than half a year, and he is no longer the reckless and panicked boy who just came to Beijing.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qinji said, "Sister, I want to see my second brother, can I?"

Princess Xiang'an said, "I don't know where the second brother is. Every time he sends someone to pass the news to me. Anyway, he is in Beijing. We can rest assured."

Yang Qinji said, "I still want to see my second brother, can you help pass a message?"

Princess Xiang'an nodded after thinking about it.

In the middle and late May, not only Jiangnan, but also the situation in the capital was very tense, but ordinary people still didn't know anything, maintaining the prosperity and superficial calm in the capital.

Yang Qinji came out of the palace, first went to Dingguohou's mansion, and then changed into a woman's dress in the bedroom of Princess Xiang'an, disguised as a maid, and was sent out by Princess Xiang'an to handle errands.

This was Yang Qinji's first time wearing women's clothes, and he had to pretend to be a maid, so he couldn't help feeling a little awkward, but fortunately, he got used to it quickly.

When going out from the side door of Dingguohou's mansion, the concierge looked at him a few more times, and asked the mother-in-law who brought him, "Mother Lin, why haven't I seen this girl before?"

Mother Lin smiled and said, "He was recruited by the mansion not long ago, and now he serves in front of the princess."

Ever since the child in the princess' belly was kicked away by the prince in the mansion, the princess has lost the arrogance and domineering she used to be. Now that the prince has gone to the south of the Yangtze River to join the army, the princess seldom leaves the place where she lives. She is in Dexin Courtyard, she often says she is in poor health, she rarely even pays her respects to the wives in the mansion, and she also closes the door to thank guests, and when sisters-in-law come to her, she usually says she is sick and doesn't see her.

The servants in the mansion have fewer chances to see the princess, and the servants also know that the princess is not to be offended. Now the Zhao family treats the princess with a resigned attitude, and no one dares to do anything to her .

So when the concierge heard Mother Lin say that this girl was in front of the princess, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and let them go out.

Mother Lin took Yang Qinji to a tavern in a hidden alley. Yang Qinji was taken to the back to wait. Soon, a short man with a very ordinary appearance came. When the man saw Yang Qinji, he treated him After a salute, he said, "Please come with the servant."

This was Yang Qinji's first time doing this kind of secret activity, so he couldn't help being a little nervous. He followed this person out from behind the tavern, turned left and right in the alley, and finally arrived at the back door of a yard.

Yang Qinji himself was dizzy and didn't know where he was.

After entering the back door, someone picked Yang Qinji inside.

It was afternoon at this time, and Yang Qinji vaguely heard the sound of silk and bamboo not far away, so he had to guess that this was the place of fireworks.

He met his second brother in a basement. Yang Qinyuan looked a little tired and thinner than the last time he met two or three months ago. He sat on a chair and saw Yang Qinji in women's clothing. He couldn't help being stunned After a while, he laughed and said, "It's hard for you to come to see the second brother even if you dress like this."

Yang Qinji blushed a little, and then retorted, "You're hiding here underground, and it's good that you didn't see anything."

Yang Qinyuan didn't blame his younger brother for his lack of good words, he stepped forward to look at Yang Qinji carefully, then patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have grown a little taller."

As he spoke, he asked again, "Sister Xuan has news that you must see me?"

Yang Qinji sat down on a chair beside him. After a few months, he was no longer the boy who lost his temper in the plum blossom forest last year. He frowned with a dissatisfied expression on his face, but said in a calm tone, "Sister Said that I have never met you, but someone passed on the news, my sister did not doubt it, but I wanted to doubt it, so I will feel more at ease when I come to see my second brother."

Yang Qinyuan sighed, "It's good for you to be vigilant like this, but you can't ask to see me again in the future, and the situation will be turned upside down in no time. We can't meet each other, lest we be found out."

Yang Qinji asked bluntly, "Is father going to make trouble?"

Yang Qinyuan nodded, sat down on the chair next to Yang Qinji, and said, "Yes. The emperor and the cabinet sent imperial envoys, and Ji Daogong, who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, went to Jiangnan to investigate last year's Jiangnan Qiuwei fraud case. Get rid of the officials arranged by the father in the south of the Yangtze River. If the father doesn't act again, the situation will only get worse. Moreover, the queen mother, an old fox, has no intention of cooperating with the father. She has already found the king of Shu His son will replace the emperor. If the father does not act, it will be too late."

Yang Qinji looked at Yang Qinyuan, thought for a while and said, "The military strength in the hands of the father, without the support of the Zhao family, I am afraid it will be insufficient."

Yang Qinyuan said, "My activities in Beijing these past few months have not been wasted. Many ministers are willing to support my father."

When he said this, he looked solemnly into Yang Qinji's eyes and said, "Fourth brother, there is something you need to do now."

Without hesitation, Yang Qinji asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Qinyuan said, "I have colorless and odorless poison here, which can make people weak and die quickly. You can find a way to let the emperor eat it. It would be even better if you can give the queen mother the medicine and let her go too. "

Yang Qinji froze for a moment, but did not answer.

Yang Qinyuan went on to say, "As long as the emperor dies suddenly, the father will immediately have a reason to go to Beijing. It is said that the Zhao family has been holding the emperor hostage and ruining the Yang family. It is justifiable for the father to go to Beijing. If the queen mother did not Now, the father's plan will be easier to handle. Now this matter is very urgent. I am afraid that if the time is too long, it will be bad for the father to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and the queen mother has completely contacted the king of Shu. The Zhao family treats sister Xuan like that. Can we bear this tone? With the matter of sister Xuan, the father has a reason to turn against the Zhao family."

Yang Qinji didn't agree in time, and it took him a long time to say, "It's not easy to poison. The emperor pays great attention to his meals now. He has his own small kitchen. Now he wants to enter his unicorn hall, let alone me. Even the queen mother is not easy, not to mention poisoning there. I am also under surveillance at the queen mother's place, so it is very difficult to do anything."

Yang Qinyuan sighed and said, "Second brother also knows about this, so only you can do it. We have also placed some people in the palace, but these people are almost useless now. Instead, it is you. Those who are closest to the emperor and the queen mother have a chance to strike. As long as you succeed, I will immediately find a way to bring you out of the palace, and send you out of the capital with Sister Xuan."

Yang Qinji also knew that if he didn't do this, the entire Wu Palace might face a greater crisis, so he nodded after thinking about it, and said, "Second brother, give me the poison."

Yang Qinyuan went to get a hand towel, which was dark blue, embroidered with orchid grass, double-layered, with a layer sandwiched in between, Yang Qinyuan showed Yang Qinji how to use the hand towel, and said, "The poison is here Inside is a colorless powder that melts when touched with water. You just need to find a way to let the emperor and queen dowager eat it. After eating this poison, you will not die immediately, but will only be mentally ill. It will take ten days to die slowly. This poison is not easy to come by, it is obtained from the South China Sea Road, there is only so much of it, you have to make good use of it."

Yang Qinji received it nervously, folded the towel and put it in his sleeve.After putting it away, he asked again, "Is there any antidote?"

Yang Qinyuan shook his head, "No, at least we don't have any here."

Yang Qinji nodded and said, "Second brother, remember to rescue me and my sister. If I am in the palace, it will be difficult to rescue me, but sister, you must ensure her safety."

Yang Qinyuan nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Yang Qinji couldn't stay here for too long, so he left first.

Ji Heng had already done what Zhao Zhili asked him to do. After redeeming Xiao Lingxian, he settled him in a courtyard in the south of the city to recuperate from his injuries. From then on, Little Fairy can do whatever she wants.

Xiao Lingxian even changed his name. He said he remembered that his surname was Xia, so he named himself Xia Jin. About the day he named it, the sky was full of colorful clouds, like a piece of gorgeous brocade.

Ji Heng was very busy every day, so he didn't have much time to talk to him, so he used his new name to help him register.

The imperial city is the most expensive in the capital. It is surrounded by the imperial palace, with various official offices of the imperial court, and some high-ranking officials and nobles live there. Then there is the inner city, followed by the outer city.

The outer city is where common people live. Among them, the south of the city has the best security and the wealthiest residents.

Xiao Lingxian's new residence is here, the yard is not small, and the decoration inside is not bad, it can be seen that Ji Heng really has a heart for him.

After Ji Heng visited Little Fairy again that day, he took a carriage and went back to Ji's mansion. At the door, a servant chanted a bell to call him, "Mr. Zhang, please go and talk about things, young master."

Ji Heng straightened his clothes and followed. Mr. Zhang has his own study and rest room in the front yard of Ji's mansion. Since Mr. Ji left, he has spent a lot of time sitting here.

It's almost June, and the weather has already started to heat up. When Ji Heng came to the study, his forehead was covered with sweat. Mr. Zhang saw it, and asked the waiter to quickly bring water and a towel for him. After washing his face, he asked him to drink some tea.

After tidying up, Ji Heng was still blushing. After sitting down on the chair, he asked Mr. Zhang, "Is there something important?"

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang is much closer to Ji Heng than Master Ji is to Ji Heng.

At the beginning, Ji Heng didn't fully understand Master Ji. He always thought that Master Ji didn't have much affection for him as a father and son.

Now that he has been with Master Ji for a long time, Ji Heng also has a deeper understanding of Master Ji's feelings for him.

Mr. Ji is a person who doesn't say much, even if he has a deep father-son relationship with Ji Heng, he won't say anything.

Ji Heng knew that Master Ji had never regarded himself as the eldest son who could inherit the family, but he did not lose his father-son affection towards him.

Master Ji loves Brother Ying because Brother Ying wants to carry on the family line of Ji's family. Maybe, Master Ji will ask Brother Ying to adopt his son to be his own son who may not be able to have children in the future.

People always want to pamper their younger sons, but they are strict with their elder sons. After Ji Heng figured this out, he no longer feels the initial jealousy towards Brother Ying.

Master Ji's emphasis on himself is indeed the importance he attaches to his eldest son.

And he was neither far nor close to him, he was business-like, and maybe he didn't dare to offend him. After all, his relationship with the emperor was getting closer recently, and he had to rely on himself.

When there are various stakes, there will always be some changes in pure feelings.

The relationship with Master Ji, Ji Heng felt that it was getting farther and farther away from the normal father-son relationship.

But a while ago, when Master Ji told Mr. Zhang to support him, although Ji Heng didn't express anything at that time, there were still some ripples in his heart.

However, Mr. Zhang is different with Ji Heng. He doesn't know Ji Heng's physical condition, so he wants to be more intimate with him.He didn't have the scruples of Master Ji either.
