I was a princess in ancient times

The new emperor and Mo Yao went back to the imperial case hand in hand.

Mo Yao immediately mixed the letter recording Wu Nanny's abnormality into the other twelve letters with normal investigation results, and he took two letters respectively recording the investigation results of the eunuch and the female officer and said to the new emperor, "Your Majesty, the thief who poisoned the late emperor must It was one of them."

The new emperor agreed with Mo Yao's opinion, "Brother Yao is absolutely right."

Mo Yao turned his head and fixed his eyes on the new emperor.

The new emperor was not intimidated by Mo Yao's cold and persistent gaze, and looked at Mo Yao as usual.

After this period of contact, the new emperor has gradually figured out Mo Yao's character. This is a person with strong executive ability but no assertiveness. Mo Yao is waiting for his order.

The new emperor took Mo Yao's hand and carefully looked at the results of the Jinwu Guard's investigation of the female officials and eunuchs, "They are all palace servants who serve Aye. If Aye is good, they can be good. How could they poison Aye for no reason? ?There must be an envoy behind it.”

Mo Yao's eyes followed the movement of the new emperor's slender fingers, and finally settled on the word "Jiang's family", with murderous aura gradually gathering in his eyes.

There are a total of two people in question.

The eunuch was once bought by the Jiang family.

The female official's secret biological son is a classmate with the offshoot of the Jiang family and they are inseparable.

Mo Yao recalled that when he was in Lieshan Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang and King Li dressed up to cry for Emperor Yanguang, without any sadness on their faces, they only cared about when King Li would ascend the throne.

They even gave up guarding the spirit of the late emperor for the sake of the throne, and rushed back to Chang'an overnight, hoping to enter the Chang'an palace earlier than the new emperor.

"It's Empress Dowager Jiang and King Li." Mo Yao concluded.

If he hadn't woken up in time, Empress Dowager Jiang and King Li had already achieved their goal of allowing King Li to ascend the throne as soon as possible by poisoning the late emperor.

The new emperor's eyes left the letter and turned to Mo Yao.

If the courtiers were as pure as Mo Yao, it would really save him a lot of trouble.

It's a pity... there is only one Mo Yao.

The new emperor lowered his eyes to block the strange colors in it, "The thief can hide the Jinwu Guard and poison Aye without anyone noticing. He must have been prepared for it for many days or even years, so he can perfect it after poisoning Aye." Erase all traces."

"Before five rounds of detailed investigation by the Jinwu Guard failed to identify the problematic person. It can be seen that the thief is cunning. The result this time may not be accurate. It is better to continue to investigate in order to avoid..." The new emperor could not bear it. The empress dowager and elder brother have been wronged."

Hesitation appeared on Mo Yao's face. He was already convinced that Jiang's family was the one who poisoned the first emperor, and the purpose was to let King Li ascend the throne as soon as possible, but the new emperor's words seemed to make sense.

The new emperor didn't disturb Mo Yao's contemplation, he went to the cupboard and took out the brazier, and threw the twelve investigation results without any problems into the brazier, along with Madam Wu's investigation results, with a suddenly sad tone.

"The day before yesterday when I dealt with brother Xiang, all the courtiers were dissatisfied with my wife's benevolence, but I only have two brothers and you left, how can I not be partial?"

Mo Yao's stunned eyes recovered, and his tone even hinted at the grievance that he didn't realize, "But your majesty wants to avenge the late emperor."

No matter how important Li Wang is, he cannot be more important than the first emperor.

"Of course, I will never tolerate that Brother Li is related to the person who poisoned Aye." The new emperor nodded solemnly, and patiently explained to Mo Yao, "I don't want to believe the results of this investigation immediately, not only because I don't want to have Any possibility of wronging the Empress Dowager and Brother Li, I can't bear to see the courtiers misunderstand my brother and Jin Wuwei."

Mo Yao didn't understand, but besides his patience, he also had inexplicable trust in the new emperor, so he subconsciously believed that the new emperor was telling the truth.

The new emperor held up two questionable investigation results and said to Mo Yao, "The courtiers are already in awe of the Jinwu Guard, and they wish to get rid of the Jinwu Guard as soon as possible. If they know that the Jinwu Guard has such a 'detailed' investigation ability, I am afraid that you and the Jinwu Guard will be treated like snakes and scorpions even more."

No one wants to be the next person to be so 'exhaustively' investigated by the Jinwu Guard.

Not only the courtiers will have a sense of sadness when the rabbit dies, and they will try their best to protect the Jiang family.Because of Cui Qingxi and King Xiang's matter, the Cui family, who was in a state of discord with the Jiang family, might also settle their suspicions with the Jiang family because of the fearfulness of the Jinwu Guard.

Shaking the Jiang family based on the results of this investigation alone will definitely cause the court to be injured, and it will be even more difficult to involve King Li.

It would be better to let the Jinwu Guard go to Li Wang's mansion to raid the house openly and aboveboard, and then find a dragon robe from somewhere in Li Wang's mansion to convince the courtiers.

The new emperor would not do such a stupid thing, let alone allow the sword to self-destruct.

Mo Yao knelt down on one knee and looked up at the new emperor, "The ministers and the Jinwu Guards only need to remember that they are the first emperor and loyal to His Majesty. The opinions of others have nothing to do with us."

The new emperor was moved, "But I can't bear to see others misunderstand the Jinwu Guard, and I don't want to have the slightest possibility of letting go of the real murderer just because we are eager for revenge."

When Mo Yao heard the first half of the sentence, he still insisted on avenging the late emperor immediately. Hearing the second half of the new emperor's sentence, hesitation appeared on his firm face.

Your Majesty is right.

If he let the real culprit go because of his desire for revenge, what face would he have to meet the late emperor?

The new emperor forcefully lifted Mo Yao up with his arms, and said solemnly, "Brother Yao, please interrogate the parents and children of the female officer and their classmates, and the eunuch will also start the interrogation from the beginning. Don't let go of any clues."

Mo Yao nodded and saluted the new emperor again.

He first lit the letters piled up in the brazier, saw with his own eyes that there was only dust left in the brazier, and then left Xindi's study with the only two remaining investigation results. He couldn't wait to interrogate the female officer's parents, children and classmates.

Song Nian, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, did not return to the study until he could not hear Mo Yao's footsteps at all, "I saw a strange mandarin duck-eyed cat slave in the cat and dog room, and I have sent it to the Tranquility Palace, Queen Mother The empress and the concubine are very fond of this long-haired raccoon slave, so they named it the white raccoon."

"En." The new emperor answered absently, focused on checking the longbow in his hand, and suddenly stretched his arms to make a posture of bending the bow and shooting an arrow.

As the new emperor let go, the bow body immediately relaxed like a crescent moon, and there was a dull sound of the bowstring passing through the air.

The new emperor looked at the direction in which the arrows should fly if there were feather arrows when drawing the bow, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he ordered, "Reveal to Grand Master Jiang's grandson about the fact that the Jinwu Guards captured the side branch of Jiang's family."

I don't know whether Grand Master Jiang can hold his breath better than Queen Mother Jiang.

Songnian didn't hear the conversation between the new emperor and Mo Yao, and he didn't know when the Jinwu Guard captured Jiang's side branch, but he never hesitated about the new emperor's order, "Yes."

"Are those two awake?" The new emperor put down his empty bow, the deepness in his eyes faded, and he remembered the bad things in the afternoon.

Song Nian picked up the empty bow and placed it on the shelf, "I don't know."

Jingzhe hasn't come back yet, the princess and the county king probably haven't sobered up yet.

The next day, after Ji Xinxue opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the sunlight.

The sun was shining, and he must have missed the time of Taixue class again.

Ji Xinxue stared blankly at the shape of the sun cast on the ground through the gap of the bed curtain, her empty brain was gradually filled with unfamiliar scenes and words.

"who are you?"

"My family has a big tiger, so I'm not afraid of wolves!"

"Hey the tiger! Don't let the tiger eat the chaff!"

……

As these memories changed from fuzzy to clear, Ji Xinxue turned over and buried her head in the brocade quilt.

Help, he must have had a weird dream!

Unwilling to face reality, Ji Xinxue fell asleep and was chased and bitten by a mighty and majestic tiger in her dream.

Ji Xinxue first ran for his life on the grass, and when he was about to be overtaken by the big tiger behind him, he suddenly saw the woods. Ji Xinxue was overjoyed and immediately went into the woods. Relying on his agility, he ran around the trees and finally caught the big tiger throw off.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, Ji Xinxue's physical strength is getting worse and worse, but the big tiger is chasing after him. When he is desperate again, Ji Xinxue climbs up the tree in fear of the big tiger.

Ji Xinxue on the tree and the big tiger holding his head up under the tree stared at each other, gradually relaxed, and made a face at the big tiger with joy.

The big tiger squatted under the tree, raised its paw and scratched its chin, then suddenly backed up a few steps, rushed towards Ji Xinxue who was on the tree, and even started to climb up from the middle of the tree trunk.

Ji Xinxue turned pale with shock, and watched the big tiger getting closer and closer to him... He could only grab the vines that suddenly appeared beside him, and stalk the big tree not far away.

Even though there was a short distance between the two big trees, Ji Xinxue easily passed the vines that came from nowhere and jumped onto another big tree.

Already lost in the dream, Ji Xinxue didn't notice anything unusual, and continued to escape while grabbing the tree vine that appeared by his side just right every time.

After crossing more than a dozen trees one after another, Ji Xinxue turned back to find the big tiger.

There were no big tigers on the trees as far as the eye could see, and no big tigers were seen under the surrounding trees when lying on the branches of the big trees. Ji Xinxue felt exhausted after a while, and heaved a long sigh of relief. .

Before the breath was completely relieved, Ji Xinxue, who had always been vigilant, suddenly became stiff all over.

The shadow on the ground...why does it look like a tiger?

Ji Xinxue raised her head abruptly, and the familiar big tiger with wings covered with long feathers was hovering above his head, staring at him expressionlessly.

After seeing Ji Xinxue's gaze, the big tiger continued to flap its wings. Ji Xinxue grabbed the branch with all his strength, but still could not escape the fate of being blown to the top of the tree by the wind. He could only watch helplessly as the big tiger approached him with graceful steps. , raised his claws to press on his neck, and opened his bloody mouth wide.

Ji Xinxue suddenly opened her closed eyes.

Well, no tiger, just the brocade quilt that somehow was loosely wrapped around his neck.

Presumably, his previous posture of burying himself in the quilt was too unrestrained, which led to such consequences.

Ji Xinxue kicked his kidnapper to the end of the bed with a blank expression, and firmly refused to admit that he was woken up by a big tiger.

The person guarding Ji Xinxue in the room today was Caishi, she first poured Ji Xinxue a glass of warm water, and then brought the pills for sobering up.

Ji Xinxue frowned and shook her head. The fruit wine was mellow and strong, and even if she accidentally drank too much, she would not have the uncomfortable symptoms after a night of drinking.

He had a headache not because he was drunk yesterday, but because he was worried about how to face the big tiger... No!I am worried about how to face the new emperor.

After much deliberation, Ji Xinxue felt that only by putting into practice the words of 'feeding the tiger' said yesterday, could she gain a glimpse of life.

Fruit wine and spirits can fetch sky-high prices, and so can everything else!

He has to think about it carefully. Before he thinks about it, it's best to avoid the new emperor.

Because of a guilty conscience, Ji Xinxue didn't dare to skip class at will, and immediately asked the maid to comb his hair for him, and was about to rush to the Imperial Academy. Even if it was too late for class, he had to convey to the new emperor his attitude of studying hard and making progress every day.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue was still half a step late, before he had time to go out, he was stopped by Jingzhe, the prisoner of Fengxiang Palace, and the new emperor wanted to punish him and Yu Heng.

Jing Zhe conveyed the new emperor's punishment to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng solemnly, "Your Majesty ordered you and the county king to copy six files, and he will read them personally."

Ji Xinxue lowered her head obediently, secretly thinking that the new emperor was indeed very angry, and only asked him and Yu Heng to copy the six dossiers but did not specify a specific time limit. If he and Yu Heng copied the six volumes too slowly or seriously, they might have to continue. be punished.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue had no objection, Jing Zhe asked, "Which dossier would the princess want to copy? The servant will bring it for you."

Ji Xinxue thought for a while, then said weakly, "Hubu."

He wants to continue to study the issue of treasury taxation, and sooner or later he has to look through the files of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

If you don't consider the anger of the new emperor, taking this opportunity to sort out the household files will help him achieve his goal.

Jing Zhe nodded, and asked Qing Ji Xinxue only wanted to copy the household files, and left because she was not interested in the other five files.

Although he was fined, Taixue still had to go.

Ji Xinxue met Yu Heng in Taixue and learned that Yu Heng chose to copy the files of the Ministry of Industry.

The two sighed as they faced each other, they didn't want to go to the place that Taixue provided for the students to take a nap, so they simply went to the Wubing Palace where the classes were most irregular.

Whether it's Li Jinhuan and others fighting against the Jinwu Guard, or the courses in the Bingtang, they are all very enjoyable to watch.

During this period, Ji Xinxue gradually lost his mind and began to think about how to calm the new emperor by feeding the big tiger.

Both fruit wine and spirits were sold at exorbitant prices in Jiangnan. Usually, among the things that Yu Heng fief sent to Chang'an, those in Jiangnan were the most expensive.

In addition to mining, starting with the pockets of wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River is the best way to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

It's a pity that Chang'an is far away from Jiangnan. It is impossible for the new emperor to allow him to go to Jiangnan in person when Jiangnan has not responded to Chang'an's decree, otherwise he really wants to visit Jiangnan.

Yu Heng noticed that Ji Xinxue was distracted, so he shifted his gaze from the stage to Ji Xinxue, and asked with concern, "Still sad about His Majesty punishing you?"

Ji Xinxue shook her head honestly, and whispered next to Yu Heng's ear, "I'm thinking about what can be sold at the same price as fruit wine and spirits in Jiangnan."

With the tacit understanding between the two, Yu Heng could easily guess what Ji Xinxue really wanted to ask.

It's not that something can be sold at the same price as fruit wine and spirits in Jiangnan, but what else can achieve the same profit as fruit wine and spirits.

"Before Jiangnan fruit wine was sold at a price equivalent to gold, Jiangnan had pearl wine that could only be bought with pearls, hundred silver wine with a jar of a hundred taels of silver, and coral wine that could only be bought with coral to imitate pearl wine, and many others. Famous wines like this are all on the wine tasting list, and anyone who doesn’t have the famous wines on the wine tasting list when they have a banquet will be looked down upon.”

Ji Xinxue nodded as she listened. He understood what Yu Heng meant. It was no accident that the value of fruit wine and spirits doubled in Jiangnan.

"Apart from the wine tasting book, are there any other books in Jiangnan?" Ji Xinxue asked.

Yu Heng had never paid attention to this point, and he could only shake his head after pondering for a long time. He said to Ji Xinxue, "I asked Mo Changshi to send two people who have been in the fiefdom and Jiangnan for many years to Chang'an."

By the way, collect various rosters and new gadgets that are popular in Jiangnan.

With Yu Heng's words, Ji Xinxue put aside the matter of expanding new business for the time being, and concentrated on taking classes in Taixue, and copying the household files that Jing Zhe sent to his palace.

Occasionally, he would talk to Ji Jingrou and inquire about various news about the previous dynasty and the harem.

Cui Qingxi has never been out of the Xiangwang Palace since entering the Xiangwang Palace.

It's a pity that Ji Jingrou couldn't find out what was going on in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and didn't know how Cui Qingxi's life in Prince Xiang's Mansion was.She only knew that people from the Cui family had gone to visit Cui Qingxi in Prince Xiang's mansion, but they were blocked outside the Prince Xiang's mansion and could not enter, and Cui Qingxi did not go to see Cui's people outside the Prince Xiang's mansion.

The Empress Dowager Jiang still relied on decoctions every day to keep her spirits up. There were people coming and going in the Ningshou Palace all day long, but there was no major disturbance. After all, the Empress Dowager Jiang and the Empress Dowager Su were both decent people. When killing the opponent, it is quick for a while.

In contrast, Princess Dekang's morality is shallower, and she can only maintain her composure when dealing with the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su. There are often rumors of venting her anger on court ladies and eunuchs outside Ningshou Palace. The court ladies and eunuchs at the office didn't like the only princess born of the late emperor very much.

"Princess Dekang has a lot of unpleasant things. King Li recently took a new concubine. I heard that she is pretty and lovely, and she is very fond of King Li, but her temper is particularly arrogant." Ji Jingrou shook her head, "Because of that name A concubine from the Kang family, King Li did not hesitate to punish Jiang Ruren. The day before yesterday, King Li had just punished Jiang Ruren for the daughter of the Kang family. Yesterday, Princess Dekang ordered the female official to slap the mother of the Kang family at the banquet held by Mrs. Kang's daughter. , I heard that his face was bruised."

Ji Xinxue was once again amazed at the real Zhaidou. He saw from Ji Jingrou's expression that there was something bigger behind this incident, and immediately asked, "What did King Li say?"

Ji Jingrou sneered, "What did he say? He heard Kang's concubine cry, because Princess Dekang ordered someone to slap Kang's concubine's biological mother twenty times, and he was going to slap Jiang Ruren back in the face."

Ji Xinxue raised her hand to cover her mouth that opened in surprise.

He suspected that when Cui Qingxi smacked King Li's face with the sole of his shoe in Xindi's study, he accidentally smashed King Li's head.

After the death of the first emperor, Jiang Ru went to Li Wang's mansion to be a concubine for Li Wang.

She is the niece of Empress Dowager Jiang and the granddaughter of Taishi Jiang. According to the theory of blood that is most valued by people in this era, King Li is the grandson-in-law of Taishi Jiang first, and then the adopted son of Empress Dowager Jiang.

That's why Princess Dekang was so angry when she knew that Jiang Ruren had suffered from Kang's concubine.

Without waiting for Ji Xinxue to ask, Ji Jingrou told Ji Xinxue the follow-up, "Jiang Ruren committed suicide with only one slap in the face, hit his head on the door frame, and is still in a coma. In the palace, Empress Dowager Jiang fainted from anger."

Ji Xinxue was not at all surprised by the way things were going.

He was more curious about whether Jiang Ruren would return to Prince Li's mansion.

If the two sides just broke up like this, it seems to be a good result.

Without the Jiang family, with King Li's mind, he could only hate cats and dogs, and there was almost no possibility of causing trouble for the new emperor.

Without King Li, the Jiang family would also lose the confidence to make trouble for the new emperor.

When Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou were discussing this matter quietly, the 'comatose' Empress Dowager Jiang and Princess Dekang in Ningshou Palace were also talking about this matter.

Although the Empress Dowager Jiang was not in a coma, her complexion was extremely pale, and she would cough twice from time to time.

Princess Dekang brought a cup of warm water to Empress Dowager Jiang, "Aniang, Brother Li..."

As soon as she started speaking, she was interrupted sharply by Empress Dowager Jiang, "You don't have such a younger brother, so don't have anything to do with him in the future."

Princess Dekang was stunned, "Although he is a little bit hard on women's sex, he is Aye's eldest son."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Jiang picked up the cushion beside her and smashed it on Princess Dekang's face, her expression almost crazy, "What kind of eldest son is he, your eldest brother is the eldest son, and my Hui'er is the eldest son!"

Princess Dekang endured the piercing pain in her hair and hugged Empress Dowager Jiang, and said repeatedly, "How can I forget my elder brother, I still have a vase given to me by my elder brother in my room."

Empress Dowager Jiang's trembling body gradually returned to calm, and her refocused eyes captured Princess Dekang's distressed appearance.

Princess Dekang's bun was completely unrecognizable. There was an overturned teacup on her leg, and her skirt was even dripping. She didn't care about her embarrassment at all, and only cared about the safety of Queen Mother Jiang.

Empress Dowager Jiang held Princess Dekang's hand, and suddenly felt that she hadn't sat and talked with Princess Dekang for a long time.

She looked at Princess Dekang lovingly and softly, "He treats Tian Niang like this for a bitch, if such an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf can really ascend to a high position, how can he put you and me and the Jiang family in his eyes?"

Princess Dekang fell silent.

Although the source of this incident was that the cousin deliberately provoked the Kang family's daughter first, but King Li severely punished the cousin for the sake of the Kang family's daughter.

She also felt aggrieved for her cousin after hearing about this incident, so she didn't dissuade Queen Mother Jiang when she heard that Queen Mother Jiang ordered her to slap the mother of a girl from the Kang family in public.

The Empress Dowager Jiang patted Princess Dekang's hand lightly, "The Jinwu Guards are still investigating the person who poisoned you, Aye, and found a side branch of the Jiang family, and Mo Jie personally led someone to arrest that side branch into the palace. "

When Princess Dekang heard the words, she immediately put King Li aside, "Could it be..."

"No!" Empress Dowager Jiang looked directly at Princess Dekang's disbelieving gaze, and said in a firm tone, "I didn't do it with the Jiang family, that white-eyed wolf has no brains to do it."

Princess Dekang nodded, lowering her eyelids to hide the complexity.

After the shock dissipated, the emotion that lingered in her heart for a long time was disappointment.

If A Niang really did such a thing, did King Li succeed in ascending the throne long after the new emperor passed away, why did things develop to this point?

Little did they know that Empress Dowager Jiang had exactly the same thoughts as Princess Dekang.

Ever since she became the Empress Dowager, she has not closed her eyes for a day without regrets.

Not only did she regret not taking the first step to poison the late emperor to death, but she also regretted being overjoyed when she suddenly heard of the late emperor's death.

Every time she recalls the scene after the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Jiang can accurately grasp the details where she and King Li made a mistake, which led to Mo Yao's rebellion, so that the Jiang family lost what they had been looking forward to for more than ten years. throne.

The most painful thing in life is not what you lose, but what you could have had.

Empress Dowager Jiang closed her eyes fiercely, forcing herself to press the surging memories into her heart, and said amidst the strong smell of rust on her teeth and tongue, "A few years ago, I bribed a little eunuch who served Bai Qianli, In order to reassure the eunuch, he once left a token in the eunuch's hand."

"At the beginning, there were 87 people who served the late emperor in Lieshan Palace. Now 85 people are distributed in various palaces as errands. Even the eunuch Liang can guard the gate in Fengxiang Palace. Only two people are still imprisoned in the Jinwuwei Yamen. One of them is the little eunuch I once bought, and the other is a female official who barely has a relationship with the side branch of the Jiang family who was captured by Mo Yao himself."

"Aniang, you mean that the new emperor will take advantage of the fact that the late emperor was poisoned to death, and attack the Jiang family?" Princess Dekang silently clenched the Empress Dowager Jiang's hand, her eyes filled with hatred and strong desire that almost overwhelmed her and the Jiang family. Empress Dowager Chiang's regret.

Just a little bit, knife and fish can be interchanged.

Just a little!

Since the Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to explain this matter to Princess Dekang, she no longer concealed anything from Princess Dekang. She said softly, "The day before yesterday your grandfather came to visit me in the palace, just to talk about this matter."

Neither Grand Master Jiang nor Empress Dowager Jiang could tell whether the new emperor had tampered with it, causing Mo Yao to find out about the Jiang family, or whether it was because the Jiang family was unlucky that Mo Yao would focus on the Jiang family under the unreasonable investigation of the madman.

But they were sure that if Mo Yao insisted that it was the Jiang family who poisoned the first emperor, the new emperor would let Mo Yao deal with the Jiang family and King Li, and then execute Mo Yao and continue to split the Jinwu Guard to appease the anger of the courtiers.

Both Taishi Jiang and Empress Dowager Jiang were not people who would sit still. They decided to find a scapegoat before Mo Yao could come to a conclusion.

Originally, this scapegoat would not be the turn of Li Wang anyway, but Jiang Taishi knew that the timing of the branch of the Jiang family being taken into the palace by Mo Yao himself was very unfortunate. His eldest son Jiang Shilang had just visited Li Wang.

Jiang Shilang went to visit King Li, mainly to find out why King Li would do something contrary to Queen Mother Jiang's orders when he arrested King Xiang and Cui Qingzhi.

He didn't question Li Wang directly, but when he was eating with Li Wang, he said what Li Wang liked to hear and coaxed Li Wang to drink.

Only when King Li was drunk did he take the usual words out of King Li's mouth.

The process of Jiang Shilang's routine was not smooth.

Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, King Li has been addicted to wine and sex. Not only has his drinking capacity increased day by day, but he is also accompanied by famous courtesans who never get drunk.

Fortunately, King Li has been taught by Empress Dowager Jiang and Grand Master Jiang for more than ten years. Jiang Shilang knows how to provoke King Li to be stupid. Finally, while staying awake, he managed to get King Li drunk, and guided King Li to say that he gave up his name. If prostitutes all quit.

Then, Jiang Shilang pretended to be inadvertent and brought up the matter of King Li arresting King Xiang and Cui Qingxi.

The already drunk Li Wang rubbed his hands and said to Jiang Shilang, "You didn't see their humble appearance when they panicked and begged me not to tell the story, wishing they could kneel on the ground and lick my shoes, hehe."

Jiang Shilang's face gradually darkened, and he barely resisted the urge to get angry with King Li, and guided him to continue answering his questions with a gentle voice.

Why violated the Queen Mother Jiang's order and made a big fuss about King Xiang and Cui Qingzhi.

Li Wang put his hand on Jiang Shilang's shoulder, and shouted with blurred eyes, "They are all looking at me! Hehehe, everyone is looking at me! That's how it should be! Whoever doesn't look at me, I will let the Jinwu Guard dig his Eye!"

Jiang Shilang entangled with King Li for a while before he understood what King Li meant.

King Li would make this matter a big deal, and at first he just enjoyed King Xiang and Cui Qingxi's humble begging for him.

During the process of threatening King Xiang and Cui Qingxi, more and more people noticed what King Li was making.King Li felt that everyone's emotions were affected by him, and he couldn't help but indulge in it. How could he remember the Queen Mother Jiang's instructions to him?

Empress Dowager Jiang personally taught King Li for more than ten years, intending to develop King Li into a cowardly and uninitiated character. She never expected that King Li would give birth to a completely unpredictable 'assertive opinion' after missing the throne.

Both she and Grand Master Jiang were extremely disappointed with such King Li, and decided to give King Li a last chance.

Hearing this, Princess Dekang's face suddenly appeared.

The cousin was taught as a future queen since she was a child, how could she not be able to bear the little Kang's daughter, and went to find trouble with the Kang's daughter, it turned out to be the test of Li Wang by the grandfather and A Niang.

When Li Wang severely punished his cousin for Kang's daughter, he had already chosen the wrong one.

Because Kang's daughter's mother went to find trouble with her cousin, it was even more wrong.

So A Niang and grandfather plan to completely abandon King Li?

but……

"Auntie." Princess Dekang grabbed the Empress Dowager Jiang's hand tightly, "Although King Li is unbearable, Ah Hu has been taught by his grandfather since childhood. Wouldn't it be a pity if he got involved with King Li?"

Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head and said indifferently, "It's not a pity."

There is already an example of King Li, so one can imagine what Lord Hu Lang, who is in the same line as King Li, looks like.

Princess Dekang was in a hurry, "But my minister has already given the medicine to Mrs. Zhong."

Empress Dowager Jiang's gloomy brows finally brightened, and she looked at Princess Dekang appreciatively, "You did a good job."

Princess Dekang was even more at a loss.

What good is she doing well?

Even if Concubine Zhong Shu fed the new emperor the infertility medicine, and the Jiang family tried to kill Ji Jingyu, Li Wang's lineage would lose the qualification to inherit the throne because they were used as scapegoats for poisoning the late emperor.

Could it be that the Jiang family has done so much with her but wants to make a wedding dress for the clan?

The Empress Dowager Jiang gently smoothed Princess Dekang's messy hair, and said softly, "Ping'er, protecting yourself is the most important thing at any time, as long as Ji Linyuan is not happy, sooner or later we will be happy. "

Princess Dekang was persuaded by the Queen Mother, nodded heavily, and took advantage of the situation to put her into the arms of the Queen Mother.

Whether it is King Li or Lord Hu Lang, they are just outsiders after all.

As long as A Niang can get better, these people are not important.

As for the new emperor... A Niang is right, the days to come are still long, so they don't need to worry.

Ji Xinxue originally wanted to share with Ji Jingrou the Jiangnan fruit wine that Yu Heng had secretly brought into the palace, but in the end she had to let Ji Jingrou enjoy the wine alone.

Concubine Zhong Shu specially asked someone to invite him to Ji Jingrou's bedroom. He was worried that Concubine Zhong Shu had something urgent, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Ji Jingrou and rushed to Jianjia Palace immediately.

When Empress Dowager Jiang fell ill, Ji Xinxue would go to Jianjia Palace to have dinner with Concubine Zhong Shu every day, and inquire about what happened in Ningshou Palace by the way, so that Concubine Zhong Shu wouldn't get caught unknowingly.

Later, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were caught drunk in the bedroom by the new emperor. Besides going to school, they had to copy the household files on time every day. After learning that Queen Mother Su was suffering from Queen Mother Jiang in Ningshou Palace every day, they changed back to Jianjia the next day. Gong accompanied Concubine Zhong Shu for dinner.

As soon as he saw Concubine Zhong Shu who was waiting for him outside Jianjia Palace, Ji Xinxue found out the unusualness in Concubine Zhong Shu's worried expression, and subconsciously looked at the female officer that Empress Dowager Su pointed to Concubine Zhong Shu, trying to get some hints from the female officer.

The female officer shook her head at Ji Xinxue, indicating that she didn't know anything.

Ji Xinxue withdrew her gaze from the female officer, took Concubine Zhong Shu's arm and asked, "Why is Aunt looking for me in such a hurry?"

"It's okay..." Concubine Zhong Shu shook her head immediately, "Let's have dinner first."

Ji Xinxue's gaze deepened, and she looked thoughtfully at Caisui who kept her head down.

Concubine Zhong Shu's reaction was not only serious, but also a trivial matter.

The two finished their dinner absent-mindedly, but Ji Xinxue still didn't wait for Concubine Zhong Shu to take the initiative to talk to him about business.

Ji Xinxue is not in a hurry, because he plans to have dinner with Ji Jingrou today, and he has already used the lunch break to finish copying the household files to be sorted out today. Even if he rests at Concubine Zhong Shu's place today, it doesn't matter if he goes directly to Imperial College from Concubine Zhong Shu's tomorrow.

After Caisui's digestion tea completely lost its heat, Concubine Zhong Shu finally looked at Ji Xinxue expectantly, and whispered, "Xue Nu, do you want younger brothers and sisters?"

Ji Xinxue, who was falling asleep, suddenly became sober after hearing Concubine Zhong Shu's words.

younger siblings?

Who gave birth?

He leaned on the chair and looked at Concubine Zhong Shu carefully. Since moving into the palace, Concubine Zhong Shu has gradually regained her slightly plump figure in the small courtyard.

At this time, he was showing a shy and timid smile under the candlelight.

In my conscience, Concubine Zhong Shu is definitely not as good-looking as the new emperor, but this is not the disadvantage of Concubine Zhong Shu. I can't find anyone who is more beautiful than the new emperor in the new emperor's harem.

Among the women in the harem, Concubine Zhong Shu's appearance was already at the forefront.

If he remembered correctly, since he was born, the new emperor has never slept with Concubine Zhong Shu again?

Could it be that Concubine Zhong Shu wants to have another child, and hopes that he can make peace with it... right?

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xinxue shifted her eyes from Concubine Zhong Shu to the ground, trying to find a place that could accommodate him.

He doesn't mind having younger siblings, nor does he care who their biological mother is, but he doesn't want to discuss this issue with Concubine Zhong Shu at all!

so awkward.

Concubine Zhong Shu who didn't hear Ji Xinxue's answer asked again, "Xue Nu, do you want younger siblings?"

Ji Xinxue coughed lightly, and politely refused to make peace with the new emperor on behalf of Concubine Zhong Shu, "This kind of thing depends on Aye, I don't care."

It would not be a bad thing if Concubine Zhong Shu could have another child and enjoy the fun of being a normal mother.

But... thousand!Ten thousand!Don't!let!he!from!middle!explain!and!

Just thinking of the possibility that Concubine Zhong Shu specially asked him to come to Jianjia Palace, Ji Xinxue couldn't help scratching the ground with her toes, wishing she could dig out a place for him to hide on the spot.

Concubine Zhong Shu approached Ji Xinxue under Ji Xinxue's suddenly wide-eyed eyes, raised her hand to hold Ji Xinxue half in her arms, and said quietly, "How can it be indifferent? Your Majesty's next child is the first child after ascending the throne. That The child will take most of His Majesty's energy."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, she immediately broke away from the embarrassment.

Concubine Zhong Shu didn't want to have a child, but she hoped that he would make peace, otherwise she would not be so resistant to "the first child after ascending the throne" in her words.

"A newborn baby really needs careful care. When we first moved to Qixia Courtyard, Aye took extra care of Baoshan." Ji Xinxue followed Concubine Zhong Shu's words, trying to entice Concubine Zhong Shu to say more.

Concubine Zhong Shu shook her head, her tone was extremely stubborn, "It's different, Your Majesty will accept new concubines from famous families, and the children they give birth to will be born superior to others, what will you do then?"

Her Xue Nu needs her father's love even more so that she can live a more comfortable life.

What if Xue Nu can't pretend to be a perfect princess when she grows up, and the new emperor thinks Xue Nu is troublesome and wants to send Xue Nu away to the fiefdom, won't she never see Xue Nu again?

Ji Xinxue squinted her eyes and hugged Concubine Zhong Shu's waist, her tone was aggrieved and urgent, "Then I don't want younger brothers and sisters anymore, Auntie, how can I not have younger brothers and sisters?"

Damn it, Concubine Zhong Shu was still affected in Ningshou Palace even though all precautions were not taken.

With trembling hands, Concubine Zhong Shu took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Ji Xinxue, and said to Ji Xinxue's ear, "Here is a pill, you melt the pill in tea and trick you into taking it, and you will never get it again." I have younger brothers and sisters."

Ji Xinxue quickly grabbed the porcelain bottle, so angry that she didn't even bother to pretend, "Why do you believe in everything? What if it's poison?"

Concubine Zhong Shu answered without hesitation, "Don't worry, there are two pills in total. I cut half of each pill and took it. I haven't had any symptoms for more than a day."

"..." Ji Xinxue took a deep breath, barely holding back her anger, "Who gave you this medicine?"

Concubine Zhong Shu immediately sold Princess Dekang completely.

What she said to persuade Ji Xinxue just now were all words that Princess Dekang persuaded her.

Ji Xinxue held the porcelain bottle tightly with one hand, pinched the other hand on her thigh through the cover of her clothes, kept calm through the pain, and finally found something strange.

"Did Princess Dekang teach you how to do it?" Ji Xinxue really couldn't pretend to coax Concubine Zhong Shu anymore, and asked expressionlessly.

Concubine Zhong Shu nodded under Ji Xinxue's gaze.

Princess Dekang asked her to persuade Ji Xinxue to invite the new emperor to dine in Ji Xinxue's bedroom on Ji Xinxue's birthday, and find a chance to brew a cup of tea and prescribe the pills herself.
