Ji Qingzhou originally thought that Li Zhan had noticed something when he mentioned Fengxian Pavilion.

But Ji Qingzhou never expected that he would tell Ji Qingzhou frankly that the person in Fengxian Pavilion that night was himself.

And judging from what Li Zhan said, it seemed that he really thought that the servant that night was dead.

This change came too fast, and Ji Qingzhou didn't know whether to be happy or anxious for a while.

But he soon realized that Li Zhan's confession meant that he did not just mention it casually when he asked him to do things for him.

Li Zhan told him such a big secret, Ji Qingzhou didn't even have room for repentance.

If things go wrong this time, it will be the end of being murdered!

The queen mother's birthday banquet officially started before dusk.

Most of the female relatives who went to the palace for the banquet had already gone to the Longevity Palace to pay their respects, but the congratulatory gifts for the Empress Dowager were still presented one by one after the banquet according to the rules.Everyone will say a few auspicious words after giving the gift, and the queen mother will give some more things as a return gift after receiving the gift...After all this tossing, the food has not been eaten yet, and it is already dark.

"I don't need you to be on duty tonight, so what are you doing here to join in the fun?" Tu Dayou stood outside the hall, staring at the palace servants passing dishes, and said to Ji Qingzhou, "Could it be that the things during the day are all right?" Done?"

Ji Qingzhou said in a low voice: "It will be the Qiu family's table in a while, arrange for me to send it over."

"Be careful, if something goes wrong, it won't end well." Tu Dayou reminded.

Ji Qingzhou nodded, and promised again and again that he would act cautiously, and then Tu Dayou let go.

After a while, Tu Dayou calculated the order and stopped one of the servants passing the dishes.Ji Qingzhou glanced at Tu Dayou gratefully, and took the tray with food.But what he didn't expect was that Tu Dayou actually stopped the other person, took the other person's tray and followed Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Tu Dayou with doubts on his face, and only reacted after a while.Tu Da has the heart of a villain, thinking that he is going to tamper with the dishes, so he is worried about staring at him.

But think about it, after all, Tuda has experience in poisoning.

And if Ji Qingzhou really made a move on this occasion, none of them would want to escape.

"I'm not that reckless!" Ji Qingzhou whispered when he entered the door.

"I know." Tu Dayou replied, "Look at me and feel at ease."

The dishes in the hall were all young eunuchs in gray robes. Ji Qingzhou and Tu Dayou looked a bit abrupt in blue robes and red robes respectively.But everyone was talking, but no one noticed them, until someone inadvertently raised his eyes and saw Ji Qingzhou, and spilled the wine in his hand in a daze.

Someone from a nearby seat immediately followed the man's line of sight, and was immediately stunned.

"This little waiter is really handsome!"

"You don't know who this is?"

"The young master of the Ji family didn't want to go into exile, so he took the initiative to enter the palace as a servant."

"It was him!"

Although these people lowered their voices when talking, they still heard a lot because they were so close to Ji Qingzhou.He didn't care too much, just took advantage of the gap between kneeling on the short table and putting down the dishes, and looked up at Qiu Lanxi. The girl looked at him briefly, and immediately lowered her head with a blushing face.

After leaving the seat, Ji Qingzhou subconsciously turned his head to look at a certain gaze that had been staring at him, and found that the other party was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.The young man's eyes were burning, and he looked at Ji Qingzhou without hesitation, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Who is that young man in the green robe?" Ji Qingzhou asked Tu Dayou after he came out.

"That's Prince Heng, you should know him?" Tu Dayou said, "Didn't you almost become his brother-in-law?"

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, but he had no impression of the King of Hengjun.

There are too many characters involved in the original book. When Ji Qingzhou read it, he only picked the ones related to him. Others were swept away, so he didn't have much impression of many details and character relationships.Knowing that he would transmigrate into this book, he had to recite the full text and write silently.

Before Ji Qingzhou could ask more questions, someone came out of the hall.

In the dimness, Ji Qingzhou recognized the man as Qiu Lanxi according to the silhouette, so he winked at Tu Dayou, and walked towards the corridor outside the hall.This corridor is not hidden, it can be seen from the gate of the hall, but there are no people around, so it is convenient to talk.

Sure enough, after a while, Qiu Lanxi walked towards Ji Qingzhou, followed by the little maid of Qiu's mansion.

"You wait for me here, you don't have to follow me." Qiu Lanxi said to the maid.

"But the master ordered that the servants follow the young lady every step of the way." The servant girl said.

Qiu Lanxi looked weak, but she was not without ideas. She said in a cold voice: "You can see the whole corridor clearly when you stand here, are you afraid that I will be eaten?"

The little servant girl didn't dare to insist on hearing the words, so she had to stand where she was and wait.

Qiu Lanxi walked up to Ji Qingzhou with her skirt, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Is the injury on your leg healed? I've been worried about you?"

"Everything is fine, slave, thank you for your concern." Ji Qingzhou said: "Fortunately, the girl kept the secret for me, so the matter did not come to light."

"I've been thinking about what you told me, but no one has asked me since then." Qiu Lanxi said, "Whether it's the prince or brother...no one has ever asked me."

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, a little surprised.

"That's fine." Ji Qingzhou said.

Qiu Lanxi looked at the boy in the soft light from the lantern in the corridor, hesitated for a moment and asked, "He... didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"The servant of that night committed suicide, and I have never seen him, why did he make things difficult for me?" Ji Qingzhou said.

"That's right." Qiu Lanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ji Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "You must not let others know that you admire the prince."

"I... already..." Qiu Lanxi didn't expect that Ji Qingzhou would reveal her past thoughts face to face, and immediately blushed and asked, "How would you know that I...to him..."

Ji Qingzhou said: "Your thoughts are written on your face, and anyone who reads them will guess."

"It's all my fault..." Qiu Lanxi sighed and said, "Nurse Li told me not to make too much publicity before, but I'm used to messing around, that's why I got into such a catastrophe."

"Who is Nanny Li?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

"It's my sister's nanny." Qiu Lanxi said, "Since my sister married the late emperor, she has been serving her by her side."

Ji Qingzhou's heart moved, and he asked again: "How did you know that the prince was going to Fengxian Pavilion that night?"

"I also guessed." Qiu Lanxi said: "I only know that he will take his majesty to Fengxian Pavilion to remember the late emperor every new moon, thinking that he had been out of Beijing for a long time before, and he might go to offer incense to the late emperor when he comes back. Just sneaked over..."

Ji Qingzhou frowned when she heard the words. Although this Qiu Lanxi was raised by a wealthy family, she was straightforward and unguarded. People around her who could guess her intentions and play tricks on Fengxian Pavilion in advance, I'm afraid Too many to count.

"This matter is over, don't mention it to anyone again." Ji Qingzhou warned: "You come to see me tonight, if someone asks, you say you met me at the poetry meeting, and now you just care about the current situation casually That's all."

Qiu Lanxi nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell the third person."

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou chuckled at her, and strode away from the corridor.

Qiu Lanxi turned her head to look at the boy's tall and thin back, thinking of the boy's smile before he left, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

After Ji Qingzhou left, he went to the imperial study room.

The Prince Regent did not go to the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet today, but sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

I don't know if the queen mother will be displeased by his rudeness, but he obviously doesn't care about it.

When Ji Qingzhou arrived at the imperial study, he found that the man was reading the book at his desk, and the dinner that had just been delivered was placed on the table in the outer hall, but he obviously had no intention of moving.

"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou walked to the case, lifted his robe and knelt down towards Li Zhan.

"Don't kneel, get up." The man said without raising his head, "How are you doing?"

When Ji Qingzhou heard the words, she got up and said: "Miss Qiu is not a shy girl. She admires the prince and knows a lot. Nanny Li, who is next to the queen mother, was once an old member of the Qiu family. For this reason, she specially reminded Miss Qiu. Don't be too flamboyant."

"What else?" The man's voice was still calm, and his eyes never looked at Ji Qingzhou from the beginning to the end.

"That night...she didn't go to Fengxian Pavilion after someone reminded her." Ji Qingzhou said: "It's just because she admires the prince and cares about the prince's habits. She guessed that the prince will go to worship the late emperor after returning to Beijing."

Hearing this, Li Zhan finally put down the notebook in his hand, looked up at the boy and asked, "What's the conclusion?"

"The conclusion is..." The young man took a deep breath and looked up at Li Zhan, "Everyone around Ms. Qiu is likely to do this trick."

Seeing the almost invisible disappointment in the man's eyes, Ji Qingzhou said again: "But there are only a handful of people who have the guts to bet Miss Qiu's innocence against the prince. Otherwise, even if the prince doesn't pursue it, Uncle Qiu will Will not let it go."

So...that person is Qiu Guojiu, or another person who is not afraid of offending Qiu Guojiu—the Queen Mother.

Ji Qingzhou thought about this answer before he asked Qiu Lanxi. He thought that Li Zhan was so smart, probably a lot more than he thought.So it seems that Li Zhan asked Ji Qingzhou to help him tonight, but to put it bluntly, he was just testing Ji Qingzhou.

"It's barely a pass." Li Zhan looked up at Ji Qingzhou lightly, and said, "It's a pity that it's too blatant, but anyone passing by can see that you and Qiu Lanxi talked in the corridor."

Ji Qingzhou was startled, but he didn't expect Li Zhan to send someone to monitor him.

"Don't worry, my lord, I've asked Miss Qiu's family to give me a speech." Ji Qingzhou said.

Li Zhan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "It seems that Miss Qiu cares about you."

Ji Qingzhou: ...

"Go back." Li Zhan said.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, and was about to leave when he suddenly realized something.

What does Li Zhan mean, he's done it?

Then in the future... He, Ji Qingzhou, will be the Prince Regent's man?

Ji Qingzhou's thoughts changed sharply, and he suddenly found a new way in the ignorance.

It turns out that if he wants to live a good life, he can not only avoid the regent, but also have a better choice... that is to cooperate with the regent!

If they were in the same group, naturally there would be no hostile situation in the original book.

At this moment, Ji Qingzhou's heart suddenly became clear, as if there was a bright light in the gloomy future.

When he looked up at the man in front of him again, the fear in his heart suddenly eased a lot, and he even felt a little kind inexplicably.

Why didn't he think of it earlier?

If I had known, I would have hugged the Regent's thigh on the first day I came here...

"Why aren't you leaving?" Li Zhan asked, raising his head.

Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but chuckled, turned around and planned to leave, but her eyes fell on the table in the outer hall, but she couldn't help being startled.

The regent still does not have the habit of eating in the palace.

A thought suddenly flashed in Ji Qingzhou's mind, secretly thinking that there is a chance to show his loyalty now.

"My lord." The young man said suddenly.

The man looked up at the boy with a questioning look in his eyes.

Then the young man said: "The dinner is getting cold, please allow me to try the dishes for the prince."

Li Zhan was a little surprised when he heard this, as if he didn't expect the boy to ask such a question.

The reason why he didn't eat in the palace is impossible for the young man to guess.

Isn't testing vegetables for him the same as testing poison for him?

"Why?" Li Zhan looked at the boy and asked.

Before the boy could answer, his stomach suddenly let out an untimely grunt.

Ji Qingzhou: ...

It's not like this...you listen to me explain!
