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

As the imperial wife, Mrs. Xu also visited the palace several times, but she never met the emperor.

This time, she was led by the guards and went directly from the palace gate to the Qilin Palace. Along the way, she was not in the mood to watch the night scene in the palace, and sat in the sedan chair, burning with anxiety.

Because the guard didn't speak clearly, he only said that something happened to Ji Heng, but he didn't know what happened.

But since Ji Heng can't even go home, it seems that the matter is not a small one, so, as a mother, Xu Shi can't be in a hurry.

The hand towel in her hand was about to be wrung out by her. It was a hot day in June, but she felt cold all over her body.

When she was about to go out, Xu Qilang also came to make trouble and wanted to follow, but fortunately he was obediently scolded by her, so he didn't follow at home.

The palace sedan brought Mrs. Xu to the gate of Qilin Palace, the sedan chair stopped, and the little eunuch who was waiting in front of the palace hurried up to wait on the sedan chair, and said, "Is it Mrs. Ji?"

Xu quickly responded, "Exactly."

The little eunuch said, "The emperor is waiting for you, madam."

Mrs. Xu supported the little eunuch's hand to get off the sedan chair, and was led by him into the Qilin Hall.

There was still money in the sleeves for managing these palace people, but Mrs. Xu didn't have the time and energy to do these things at the moment, and almost trotted along with the little eunuch to the gate of the main hall of the Qilin Hall.

The little eunuch who brought her in was not allowed to enter the hall, so he waited with Mrs. Xu at the door of the hall, and asked inside, "Mrs. Ji is here."

He Ye'er was waiting inside, so she ran out quickly, and when she saw Mrs. Xu, she said, "Madam, stay here for a while, and this servant will report to the emperor."

Xu's cheeks were flushed with anxiety, and she hurriedly blessed, "Thank you, father-in-law."

He Ye'er walked inside again after saying that, bumped into Liu Sheng'er, the personal eunuch next to the emperor, and said, "Master Ji's mother has arrived."

Liu Sheng'er said, "It's good to be here, otherwise the emperor will guard Mr. Ji, don't eat, don't change clothes, just sit there and don't go anywhere."

Liu Sheng'er entered the inner room, and the emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Ji Heng, motionless, Liu Sheng'er walked over lightly, and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji's mother has arrived, and she is in the hall. Wait outside."

Ji Heng had already fallen asleep again, the emperor raised his head because of Liu Sheng'er's words, glanced at him, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Madam please come in."

Liu Sheng'er let out a snort and quickly withdrew.

Mrs. Xu was led into the hall by Liu Sheng'er, passed through the second room for a while, and then entered the inner room.

The Imperial Palace is located in the north of Yongjing City. The terrain here is higher than that in the southeast, so it is more ventilated, and it is not too humid in summer. There are icebergs in the palace, which emit cool air, but it is not hot.

When Xu entered the inner room, she could only smell a strong smell of burning wormwood. She lowered her head and did not dare to look around, but the little eunuch who led her in said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ji brought you here."

Then she heard a clear voice with a hint of childishness, "Mrs. Lao."

Although this voice was not as deep and deep as that of an adult man, it was already calm and majestic that ordinary people did not have. It was so calm that there seemed to be no ups and downs, which made people tremble.

Facing the voice, Mrs. Xu knelt down, and saw the bright yellow boots embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons worn by the emperor, "My concubine Ji Xu kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor."

The emperor looked at Mrs. Xu who was kneeling there. In the candlelight of the room, Mrs. Xu was wearing a ochre-colored shirt, her hair was only loosely tied, and she wore two pearl hairpins. She didn't even wear earrings. The black hair is like a cloud, but it is pretty, probably Ji Heng's hair is also inherited from her.

The emperor thought, this is Ji Heng's mother, the person Ji Heng cares most about.

He felt sour again, tried his best to keep his tone calm, and said, "Madam, rest at peace."

It was only then that Mrs. Xu thanked En and got up, but still bowed her head respectfully, not daring to look at the emperor. The emperor sat on the edge of the bed and watched Mrs. Xu carefully. He didn't find anything about Ji Heng on Mrs. Xu's face. trace.

But it is undeniable that Mrs. Xu is also a beautiful person.

He didn't know how old Ji Heng's mother was, but looking at it this way, Mrs. Xu didn't look old at all, with the calm and graceful charm of a woman, no makeup on her face, and a clean body, compared to the queen mother in the palace Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xu are much more beautiful.

Xu's quietness, gentleness, and clean attire gave the emperor a good impression, and those jealous thoughts before were lessened, so the emperor said, "Someone assassinated me this afternoon, and Ji Qing happened to be by the side, so he blocked the assassin's attack for me." Knife, wounded."

Xu knew that Ji Heng was lying on the bed right now, but the rules in the palace were strict, so she couldn't rush forward to see Ji Heng's condition. At this time, hearing what the emperor said, her body trembled with distress, and said, "Can you It is Ji Heng's honor and duty to protect the emperor."

The emperor sighed and said, "Ma'am, I know that you and Ji Qing are deeply in love with each other, and Ji Qing is still thinking about you because of her serious illness, so I sent someone to pick you up into the palace. I hope you can take care of him here." .”

Xu quickly knelt down again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor then got up from the bed, looked at Ji Heng again, and said reluctantly, "I still have important matters to attend to, madam, take good care of Ji Qing."

The emperor then went out and told the little eunuch outside, "Take good care of Madam."

The little eunuch responded quickly.

The emperor took Liu Sheng'er to the east side hall, where Yang Qinji was being tied to a pillar inside. The emperor had been worried about Ji Heng before, so he didn't care about him at all.

At this time, Ji Heng's mother came, and he had the mind to deal with his affairs.

Although Yang Qinji assassinated the emperor, he was the county king after all, so he was only tied to a pillar, and he was not sentenced to death without the emperor's order.

He was drooping his head at this moment, with a dazed expression on his face. The emperor walked over, but he didn't respond, so one of the two guards guarding him went over and pulled his head up.

Only then did Yang Qinji look at the emperor, but his eyes were fierce, there was no begging for mercy or fear in it, only hatred.

The emperor waved to the two guards, and they understood what the emperor meant, so they quickly retreated.

Liu Sheng'er brought a chair for the emperor to sit on, and the emperor sat there silently looking at Yang Qinji, without speaking for a while.

When Yang Qinji looked at him like this, he lost his original momentum and felt a little weak.

The emperor looked at him for a while, and then said, "Assassination of the emperor is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, but you are of the same clan as me, so this is not just an assassination, you are rebellion, and I will let the whole world know that you assassinated me and rebellion , the crime of treason, you know how to deal with it. I want to remove the title and fief of King Wu, and dispose of King Wu's mansion."

When the emperor said that, Yang Qinji still didn't say anything, but just sneered.

The emperor also sneered, thinking that Ji Heng was still lying on the bed with such a long cut on his left arm, his hatred for Yang Qinji was even deeper in his heart, but he didn't do anything, he just said lightly, "Don't worry, you hurt someone I care about, and I will deal with everyone in your family in front of you before I deal with you."

Yang Qinji snorted at this time, and said, "A lowly servant girl came out of the house and ascended the throne, do you really think that you are the real son?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Sheng'er stepped forward and gave him two slaps, and shouted, "The emperor is the most honorable person in the world."

The emperor was not too angry because of his words, probably because he heard too much when he was a child, so he was already numb. He asked Liu Shenger to back down, and then said, "I just read Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Shiji two days ago. Biography, princes, generals, and relatives are kind. Although I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor, I think this is not bad. You are the king of the county, and I can make you a prisoner, and make the entire Wu Palace a prisoner. Although my mother's status is not high, I have also become the emperor. What do you think?"

Yang Qinji turned his eyes away, stopped looking at him, and just said viciously, "You killed my second brother, and I should kill you. They are all descendants of Taizu, and you are no better than me, but It’s all about you becoming the emperor, when my father becomes the emperor, what will you be.”

The little emperor Yang Qinxian had in his sleeve the dagger that Yang Qinji used to assassinate him. He took out the dagger, fiddled with the mechanism on it, pulled out the sharpened dagger, and then pressed the tip of the knife against Yang Qinji's arm. Yang Qinji's body froze instantly. The emperor looked into his eyes coldly, and the knife pierced his arm so mercilessly. Yang Qinji let out a cry of pain, but the emperor remained indifferent, and said, "My knife is just to repay the knife you stabbed Junqing. How to deal with you will be determined after your father is taken down."

Yang Qinji was in so much pain that he could no longer swear, the emperor said, "Don't worry, you won't die quickly. The poison on this dagger has been washed off. I think that a quick death is actually a kind of kindness, and you don't deserve it."

The emperor went out from the side hall and said to Liu Sheng'er, "Let the imperial doctor come and bandage his wound."

The emperor kept his face expressionless all the time, and even his voice didn't fluctuate much, but the more he was like this, the more frightening he was. Liu Sheng'er quickly responded, and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet."

The emperor stood under the eaves and looked at the bright moon in the sky. When the evening breeze blew gently, he sighed deeply and said, "No need, I can't eat it."

However, Liu Sheng'er reminded him, saying, "Junqing didn't have dinner either, so I'll go and see if he's awake, and if he's awake, prepare some digestible porridge for him."

Liu Sheng'er let out a sigh, and then went down to give orders.

The emperor returned to his bedroom and saw Mrs. Xu sitting by the bed, wiping Ji Heng's cheeks and neck with a towel. Ji Heng had already woken up. Neither he nor Mrs. Xu saw the emperor coming in. Talk to Xu Shi softly, "Mother, where is the emperor, my son has something to say."

Mrs. Xu wiped his neck, then untied his belt and wiped his chest for him, and said, "The emperor has gone out, take good care of him, and if you want to talk to the emperor, when can you not?"

Ji Heng insisted, "It's an urgent matter."

Xu was a little angry, even the emperor could not be more important than her son, so she didn't answer for a while. At this time, the emperor stepped forward and bowed to look at Ji Heng by the bed, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

When Xu turned his face, this was the first time he had seen the emperor. The little emperor was already fourteen or fifteen years old. The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was at the time when his body was stretched out, and the emperor was practicing boxing, kicking and swordsmanship every day. Therefore, the body is well developed and already tall, but the face still has the roundness of a teenager, and the eyebrows are even a little delicate, but the eyes are deep, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are a little thin. Treat him like a teenager.

Xu was about to kneel down again, but the emperor supported her this time and said, "Madam, there is no need to be too polite. It is important to take care of Junqing."

Xu knows that Junqing is the word given to Ji Heng by the emperor, but at this time, hearing the emperor call it like that, there is a sense of twists and turns, which makes her feel weird.

Ji Heng's upper body clothes were in a mess, Xu Shi quickly tidied them up for him, Ji Heng looked at her and said, "Mother, my son has a few words with the emperor, can you avoid it for a while?"

If the emperor was not there, Xu would definitely not be happy, and would still say a few words to Ji Heng, but now that the emperor was here, she had no choice but to get up and salute the emperor, then turned and went out.
