I was a princess in ancient times

Outside the door was not only Mo Yao, but also dozens of Jinwu guards in soft armor standing neatly in the courtyard.

All the people in Princess An's Mansion have retreated to the distance, all of them pale and panic-stricken.

Such a scene, coupled with Mo Yao's cold eyes, really made one's legs weak.

Ji Xinxue stopped silently, secretly thinking about the possibility of seeing a different picture when she reopened the door.

Basically zero.

Unless he is dreaming.

Holding Ji Xinxue's weight, Yu Heng walked up to Mo Yao, knowingly asked, "I don't know why the general and the Jinwu Guard came to find me and Axue?"

Mo Yao's eyes paused for a while on the shoulders of the two who were close to each other, and it was still the same sentence as before, "Your Majesty calls you to enter the palace immediately."

Ji Xinxue quietly hid behind Yu Heng.

Mo Yao, who is as indifferent as a humanoid weapon, the well-trained Jinwu guards, and the sudden summons from His Majesty... are simply the shadows of his childhood.

He tried to relieve his growing tension by joking, and asked slowly, "Did Aye let the imperial hospital burn the medicine?"

It's a pity that only Yu Heng understood Ji Xinxue's cold joke, and immediately strengthened his ten-finger grip with Ji Xinxue.

Although Mo Yao did not ignore Ji Xinxue's question, as always, he cherished words like gold, "Yes."

Before he left Fengxiang Palace, he personally heard His Majesty order Jing Zhe to send a message to the Imperial Hospital, ordering them to prepare decoctions to reduce swelling and fever at all times.

Hearing this, Ji Xinxue's face, which had managed to keep calm, gradually turned gray, but her eyes were full of expectation when she looked at Mo Yao, and she murmured, "I suddenly feel a pain in my stomach, can I enter the palace later."

"No." Mo Yao refused Ji Xinxue's request without hesitation.

On his usual expressionless face, there was almost indiscernible hesitation. Mo Yao turned his head and looked at the subordinates who held their heads high, but he was still not completely indifferent to Ji Xinxue's words, "You can bring a Gong bucket."

Ji Xinxue raised her head in disbelief, overcame her timidity, and bravely looked directly at Mo Yao's indifferent face.

What do you do with a bucket?

Is it convenient for him to...?

Throughout the eight years of Changping, this is the most ridiculous joke he has heard, bar none!

Not only Ji Xinxue broke the defense on the spot, but Yu Heng froze on the spot, even Lin Zhao, who hurried over with sweat on his brow, stopped in shock after hearing only a few words.

Lin Zhao had already forgotten the reason why he came in such a hurry, and he was so full of thoughts that he couldn't let General Mo humiliate Ji Xinxue, so he hurriedly turned his head and told Zizhu and Qingzhu, who were stopped by the Jinwu Guard, "Hurry up and find the antidiarrheal pills!"

The sharp, almost breaking voice cut through the silence, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Qingzhu's gaze moved back and forth between the shocked Ji Xinxue and the complicated-looking Yu Heng, and she cleverly guessed who needed the antidiarrheal pills.

He confirmed his guess to Lin Zhao loudly, "Is it because His Highness is not feeling well? Late last night, His Highness used a lot of greasy and heavy-tasting things, which can easily cause stomach discomfort."

There are many kinds of diarrhea. Only by telling the cause accurately can you get the pills that can work in a short time according to the cause.

Ji Xinxue stared blankly at the person who was looking at him, and suddenly felt that even without the first emperor, Mo Yao would still become a terrible person.

He walked towards the gate of the courtyard at an unprecedented speed, and completely moved away from Mo Yao in the blink of an eye, leaving only a firm voice, "I don't feel unwell, I'm entering the palace now!"

Ji Xinxue would rather face Emperor Changping's 'big pot' than have another word with Mo Yao.

Yu Heng subconsciously chased in the direction Ji Xinxue left.

After only a few steps, he slowed down calmly, turned his head and looked at Mo Yao, "The general summoned me and A Xue for His Majesty, there is no need to bring so many people, but there are other tasks?"

Mo Yao nodded.

"What is the mission?" Yu Heng asked.

Mo Yao shook his head.

Seeing that he couldn't get much information out of Mo Yao, Yu Heng quickened his pace again to chase after Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue left Princess Anguo's mansion briskly, snatched the reins from Jin Wuwei, immediately got on the horse, and galloped towards the palace, as if there was a beast chasing after him.

Yu Heng, who was half a step behind, only saw Ji Xinxue's handsome back, he pondered for a while, and stopped chasing Ji Xinxue in a hurry, but stood where he was, waiting to see which direction Mo Yao was going next.

It's a pity that Mo Yao's attitude is more determined than Yu Heng's.

He led the tall horse to stop in front of the Princess Mansion, staring at Yu Heng with fixed eyes, obviously planning to wait for Yu Heng to leave first, and then go to the next place.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yu Heng finally caught up with Ji Xinxue who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time.

The two looked behind each other tacitly, secretly counting the number of Jin Wuwei.

Mo Yao took 35 Jinwu guards to the Princess Mansion, five of them escorted Ji Xinxue back to the palace, five Jinwu guards escorted Yu Heng back to the palace, and Mo Yao, who had already left for the next location, had 25 Jinwu guards beside him.

What can the 25 Jinwu Guards do in Chang'an?

wrong.

What can the 25 Neiwu who are by Mo Yao's side do?

There is so much to do.

Mo Yao was even able to go to the Habayashi Guard to transfer troops with only his waist card, and to copy the homes of officials of the fourth rank and below.If Mo Yao had the imperial decree of Emperor Changping on him, he could even break into the residence of a first-rank official.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng have proved by personal experience that, except for Emperor Changping, there is no one who can stop Mo Yao and Jin Wuwei.

Walking into Fengxiang Palace, Ji Xinxue immediately noticed something new.

It's not surprising that Song Nian and Jing Zhe didn't come to greet him and Yu Heng in person.

The eyes are all the palace people who have no impression on weekdays. They stood upright and solemn on the spot. When they saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng from a distance, they immediately moved neatly, Shen Fu.Ji Xinxue walked a long way, and when she looked back, these people still lowered their heads quietly, maintaining a posture of deep blessing.

This is not normal.

Emperor Changping has never been a harsh emperor. Although the rules of Fengxiang Palace are strict, there has never been a more serious situation than the atmosphere of the Great Court Meeting.

There must be something big happening that he doesn't know about.

The Jinwu Guard brought Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to the door of the sleeping hall, and said indifferently, "Please wait here for Your Majesty's summons, Your Highness and the County King."

After finishing speaking, before Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng could respond, Jin Wuwei saluted neatly, turned and left.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other, exchanged the details they noticed in low voices, and finally came to a conclusion.

Someone is going to be unlucky.

They take stock of the most recent dishonesty in turn.

Although the upstarts in northern Xinjiang and the courtiers in Chang'an were noisy and lively, they were all making small noises, plus the plan to establish a stable mutual market in northern Xinjiang was being prepared.At least years ago, it would not be regarded as a 'chicken'.

It should be related to the assassins who pretended to be Jinwu Guards in the suburbs of Beijing on the day when the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors returned to Chang'an.

That's why Mo Yao was alarmed to go out in person.

Emperor Changping urgently summoned them into the palace, most likely to arrest them as coolies.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other and smiled, unanimously relaxing their long-stretched minds.

At the same time, Emperor Changping, who was separated from Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, was practicing calligraphy.

On the rice paper that was almost half the size of the royal case, the words 'peace of mind' were written one after another.

Songnian caught a glimpse of the murderous pen and ink, looked away in fear, licked his dry lips hard, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness and the county king are already waiting outside the door."

"Hmm." Emperor Changping put down his wrist-thick wolf hair, "Let them in."

It was rare for Songnian not to carry out Emperor Changping's order immediately. He opened and closed his lips several times, but he still couldn't utter any words of persuasion. He dragged his heavy legs and turned around silently.

Before going outside the palace to arrest people, General Mo had sorted out the information His Majesty wanted to see.

Princess Jinming and Duke Heping have been at least since Changping six years... Regardless of whether the county king knows about it or not, His Royal Highness will go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing with Princess Jinming and Duke Pingguo almost every month. anger.

Ji Xinxue immediately realized that something was wrong with Song Nian, her face was paler than usual, and her expression was far less calm than usual.

It's a pity that he has passed the analysis and determined that Emperor Changping's anger and sudden busyness have nothing to do with him, and he has no sense of crisis at all.

He took out a pill wrapped in oil paper from his purse and handed it over, and said with concern, "You and Jing Zhe should also pay attention to rest, it is better to take things at hand slowly than to work hard at the same time. What if you both fall tired at the same time, what about Aye?" manage."

Yu Heng nodded, and said casually, "The health-care pills that the old general ate recently are not bad, I'll bring some for you and Jing Zhe later."

Hearing this, Songnian's eyes became more complicated, and he smiled wryly, "Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Until Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng passed him by, Songnian didn't dare to say anything to remind him.

He was not afraid that Emperor Changping would take his anger on him because of this, but he was worried that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng would cause chaos in a hurry, which would make Emperor Changping even more angry.

Emperor Changping looked at the young man who showed tacit understanding in his gestures, and the arc of his mouth became colder, "Kneel down."

The two people who were bending over to salute were stunned and looked at each other with blank eyes.

Just now it seemed... a sudden auditory hallucination?

But ears can deceive, but eyes and ears cannot deceive at the same time.

Looking up and seeing Emperor Changping's cloudy face, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng immediately gave up luck and knelt down on the marble without a futon without hesitation.

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

At this moment, Emperor Changping's expression and tone of voice were [-]% similar to Mo Yao's, but more than [-] times as scary as Mo Yao's.

After all, Mo Yao seemed to be born with facial paralysis lacking emotion. No matter what his mood was, his expression and tone of speech would not change, but Emperor Changping was different.

This is the first time that Ji Xinxue has faced Emperor Changping's anger so bluntly since he grew up.

Even when Ji Xinxue met Emperor Changping for the first time after she and Yu Heng requested to marry according to the engagement contract at the Dachaohui, Ji Xinxue never felt a sense of crisis that 'my life is over'.

Hearing Emperor Changping's questioning, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng subconsciously thought that it still hadn't healed, it was just a temporary delay.

affection between them.

Even if they know that this relationship embarrasses the elders, disappoints the courtiers, and even makes people who have nothing to do with them feel sorry, they will never think that this relationship is 'wrong'.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were poked at the most painful place, and their hearts were quickly calmed down after being flustered.

There is no room for retreat, just to save the embarrassing process.

The two straightened their backs, and their brows were firm.

Even if their knees are broken, they will not admit that they are wrong.

Seeing the stubborn appearance of the two, Emperor Changping immediately thought of what happened not long ago.

At that time, he was not willing to punish Ji Xinxue because of his guilt for all kinds of things, but also felt sorry for Yu Heng's old wounds in the northern battlefield that showed no signs of healing, so he couldn't bear to punish Yu Heng.

From fright and anger to compromise, he sulked alone most of the time, and occasionally complained to the prince of Qinghe County, which made these two disobedient little bastards easier.

Like to kneel?

All right, count the crimes and punish them together, first kneel down until they can't bear it and beg for mercy.

Emperor Changping stopped Song Nian's unspoken words with sharp eyes, gradually relaxed his tense body, closed his eyes, and waited for the other two sins.

Not long after, Ji Xinxue completely lost the feeling of her legs.

Even when Emperor Yanguang went crazy in his later years and ordered his clan son to kneel down and pray for him, Ji Xinxue never tried to "kneel as punishment" without a futon.

Until this moment, after experiencing the indescribable taste, Ji Xinxue finally realized the beauty of the futon.

If Emperor Changping was still angry, he would have someone secretly sew two cushions that could be tied around the knees, so as not to suffer the same loss again.

In order to relieve the pain in her legs, Ji Xinxue began to quietly look at the furnishings in the bedroom.

The most conspicuous place on the Eight Treasures Rack is Ji Minyan's birthday gift to Emperor Changping last year.A pair of white cranes carved from suet jade, with black feather tips inlaid with exotic gems, will shine in five colors in the sun.

The seal of Mohe Khan presented by A Buhan Bing.

Below is the spoils brought back by Ji Jingyu from northern Xinjiang, gold ornaments with the mark of the former Turkic royal court.

The map of Northern Xinjiang drawn by Xiao Ning himself.

Ji Jingrou ordered people to use the gemstones of various colors that they spent a lot of time and energy to pile up into a gorgeous gemstone flower, as a birthday gift to Emperor Changping this year.

It is hard to guess the original intention of the embroidery pattern, which must have come from Ji Baoshan.

The babies of Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ten are also neatly arranged in the same place.

Ji Xinxue's eyes looked from the top to the bottom, and suddenly returned to the three rows of empty spaces in the center without any decorations.

According to the sequence, this place should have been a gift from him and Yu Heng to Aye.

What will it be?

Enamel ornaments, slingshots made of jade, the first draft of the new tax, the spoils that Yu Heng brought back from northern Xinjiang, carefully selected treasures from Yecheng... Wait, he and Yu Heng are two people, but there are three rows here Empty, the remaining space, whose gift was originally placed?

Ji Xinxue immediately grabbed Yu Heng's arm and shook her head frantically, motioning Yu Heng to look at the Eight Treasures Stand by the wall.

Before Yu Heng could fully understand what Ji Xinxue meant, the closed door suddenly opened from the outside.

Ji Cheng, who was trying to be calm, saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng kneeling side by side, and his last luck was completely shattered. He consciously knelt on the other side, and said in a hoarse voice, "Greetings to Your Majesty."

Emperor Changping sneered, and asked nonchalantly, "How is it?"

Before the words finished, Ji Mingtong, who was wearing a goose yellow horse-face skirt, had already opened the door with a smile, "Aye, what do you want from me..."

The people in the room looked at the door in unison.

The indifference between Emperor Changping's brows was completely overwhelmed by anger.

Song Nian and Jing Zhe in the corner have complicated pity in their eyes.

Ji Cheng's gaze contained both guilt and relief, like a vast and tolerant sea, silently comforting Ji Mingtong's panic.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng rarely looked dull.

Ji Mingtong took half a step back subconsciously, and his bright phoenix eyes were instantly covered with a light mist.

Before anyone reminded her what to do, she had gathered her courage and knelt beside Ji Cheng with her skirt up, "Aye, I..."

"Aye!" Ji Xinxue abruptly interrupted Ji Mingtong, and took two steps on his knees, after all, he couldn't resist the numbness and itchiness of his legs, and fell down weakly.

If Yu Heng hadn't come to help him in time, he would almost have been lying on the ground.

Ji Xinxue didn't care about the pain in her leg, and said impatiently, "I know I was wrong, Aye, I shouldn't have concealed this matter for Sister!"

If I had known that Emperor Changping had confessed to Yu Heng because of this incident, why should he have to suffer this crime!

Anyway, whether he admits his mistake or not, it will not affect Emperor Changping's anger towards Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng.

Yu Heng silently tightened Ji Xinxue's arm, raised his head to look at Emperor Changping, and said honestly, "I also know my mistake, please be punished by Your Majesty."

As long as you don't want to separate him and A Xue, you can regress in other things.

Besides, in this matter, even if he wanted to, he really couldn't change anything, let alone involve himself in it.

"Sister cried so pitifully, Erchen was afraid that the complaint would make sister hate me, so I didn't tell Aye immediately." Ji Xinxue rubbed her eyes with all her strength under the cover of her sleeves, and finally suppressed the pain. Crying, "Although sister has never forced me to do anything, I have had the best relationship with sister since I was a child. How could I bear to see her being punished by Aye."

The thoughts in Ji Xinxue's mind gradually became clearer, but her speech speed was even slower, and she cried intermittently, "It's all because Erchen took a chance and thought that Sister and Ji Cheng were just young and ignorant, and mistook other friendships for the relationship between a man and a woman. I didn't tell Aye about this in time. But I didn't fully indulge them! Maybe they did something wrong, and I will find time to follow them no matter how busy I am."

Yu Heng was silent for a while, staring at Ji Xinxue with wide-eyed eyes full of bewilderment for a while, then looked at Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong who were also bewildered in disbelief, and finally looked at Emperor Changping with a half-awake and half-bewildered expression, "A Xue Absolutely not on purpose, please Your Majesty learn from it, it's all my fault... for failing to remind A Xue in time."

Emperor Changping looked down at the two people who were scrambling to admit their mistakes, his face was so indifferent, and his heart was somewhat at a loss.

Although the two people suddenly changed their attitudes and completed the transformation from unrepentant to positively admitting their mistakes without warning, Emperor Changping did not feel relieved at all.

Why even admitting mistakes has to be tightly entwined like sticks?

Don't feel tired?

Emperor Changping almost couldn't wait to look away, and interrupted Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were making noise like baby birds opening their mouths to eat, and asked Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Ji Xinxue immediately stood up with Yu Heng's strength, and quickly approached Emperor Changping with her limping leg.

He and Yu Heng must go ashore before Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong annoy Emperor Changping again, otherwise they will be implicated even worse.

Yu Heng followed Ji Xinxue step by step, acting in tacit understanding with Ji Xinxue.

Emperor Changping sensed something was wrong, and immediately leaned back tactically, his legs were still conquered by the shameless young bird.

"Aye, I really know I was wrong, please punish me, or my conscience will be uneasy!" Ji Xinxue hugged Emperor Changping's calf, and changed her posture calmly, from kneeling to sitting.

Yu Heng gave up the torture of his thigh, tried his best to keep his eyes sincere, and pleaded obediently, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Changping suppressed the idea of ​​wanting to kick out, and suddenly a faint self-blame appeared in his heart.

If the child is disobedient, teach it slowly, how can the child still have the idea of ​​kicking someone when he admits his mistake.

Shouldn't... shouldn't be!

The stronger the desire to kick out, the harder it is to ignore the self-blame in my heart.

Emperor Changping was in a hurry to interrogate the culprit, but after all, he still ignored the almost invisible weirdness in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "You guys get up first."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, instead of letting go, she hugged her even tighter.

He's closing the case, not probation.

Whoever gets up is a fool!

"Is Aye reluctant to punish Erchen?" Ji Xinxue raised her head with emotion, and said ruthlessly, "Punish Erchen and Feng Lang to handle the settlement of the Mohe royal family for Aye, okay?"

The Mohe royal family has been raised in Honglu Temple for nearly two months, and it has become an existence that makes courtiers mourn and complain.

The Yu Dynasty intends to educate the people of Mohe in a gentle way, and deliberately keeps these people as mascots.

First of all, these people cannot be raised to death.

Secondly, it is best to make them fat and fat, and come back from time to time to praise Yu Chao's kindness to them.

However, the language barrier was a big problem, and these people hated the prince-in-law Yu Beijun deeply. In their spare time, they either scolded Emperor Changping or humiliated the Yubei Junwang and Princess Huai'an.

The courtiers did not have the 'noble blood' of the Mohe royal family to avoid death, how could they dare to talk to them easily?

As a result, the attitude of the Mohe royal family became worse and worse, they looked down on the courtiers of the Yu Dynasty, and threatened people with suicide at every turn.

Yu Heng answered the words tacitly, "I have a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing that was built according to the county king system, and I am willing to donate it to my brother-in-law's family to settle down."

After these people moved in, as long as the foreigners came out, they were all Mohe royal family.

Emperor Changping's eyes suddenly became deep.

With just one sentence, Yu Heng is several times better than those courtiers who avoided Honglu Temple.

The king of Mohe recognized by the Yu Dynasty is Abu Hanbing, and insulting Abu Hanbing is a justifiable handle to deal with them.

On the contrary, those idiots were obsequious to the Mohe royal family because of this, and they didn't even dare to say serious words, which completely embarrassed Yu Chao.

How could a smart and sensible child be unsympathetic.

A smile finally appeared in Emperor Changping's eyes, and he asked casually, "The other courtyard your mother left?"

Princess Anguo's mansion is rich, and every generation will build a new courtyard according to their own preferences.

So far, only Princess Lu has built more than one courtyard and has never lived in it.

Yu Heng shook his head, "It's already an old thing, I'm afraid it's not worthy of the Mohe royal family. It's the other courtyard that was completed at the end of last year, and you personally bestowed letters on it."

There was a flash of surprise in Emperor Changping's eyes.

Of course he remembered that it was Yu Heng's other courtyard. It was built from the second year of Changping to the seventh year of Changping, and it cost no less than 200 million taels of silver. Although the system was strictly in accordance with the specifications of the county king, the degree of luxury is probably only worse than that of the palace. .

Two million taels of silver is nothing to Yu Heng who doesn't care about money by nature.

Five years of hard work is even more precious.

Emperor Changping lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Heng, carefully identifying whether he had any emotions of reluctance.

Ji Xinxue watched anxiously from the side, and gently urged, "If the state treasury or Aye pays for the Mohe royal family to build another courtyard, it will probably fuel their arrogance. It is just right for Fenglang to leave this courtyard, please Aye to make our atonement mind."

He had already tasted what it was like to kneel for a long time without a futon, and he really didn't want Ji Mingtong to suffer like this.

The money for the life of the Mohe royal family was also the fine money for him and Yu Heng.

As long as Emperor Changping nodded his head, he and Yu Heng would be considered to have landed successfully, and then they would be able to find a way to pull Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng.

Emperor Changping nodded slowly under the urgent gazes of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

He personally helped Yu Heng up, and then watched Yu Heng go to help Ji Xinxue, complex colors flashed quickly in his eyes.

Whenever he disappointed them, they immediately proved to him that they could do better.

It's a pity that Fenglang is not a woman... Otherwise, with such a beautiful son and wife, why worry that the Yu Dynasty will not be able to be prosperous for a hundred years?

Can't think deeply, and it's easy to get stuck with yourself.

Emperor Changping restrained his mind and looked at Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng who made him even more angry.

Ji Xinxue took advantage of the gap when Emperor Changping turned his head, and crazily winked at the wild mandarin ducks who were still in a daze.

see it?

beg him!

Hold your legs and beg him!

Don't be fooled!
