I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 69
Because Ji Xinxue was sitting on the ground hugging Xindi's calf, while holding his head up and looking at Xindi eagerly, his appearance was too pitiful. Although Xindi might not allow Ji Xinxue to continue asking questions, he took the initiative to tell Ji Xinxue something.
The investigation of Baiyu Pingsuo has come to fruition.
The two white jade safety locks have no traces of being infected by drugs or incense, they are just ordinary jade pendants.The new emperor sent people to secretly investigate the Taoist temple where the British princess begged for Bai Yuping's safety lock, but they didn't find anything unusual.
The small Taoist temple located in the suburbs of Beijing will still prepare jade pendants with special meanings for the generous pilgrims, satisfying the pilgrims' wish to keep safe and have a child....
The jade materials used in these jade pendants can be traced to the exact origin. The person who carved the jade pendants was a well-known craftsman in the early years. He moved into the Taoist temple ten years ago, specializing in carving various jade ornaments for the Taoist temple.
"White jade safety lock is okay?" Ji Xinxue's eyes flashed blankly, apart from being glad that Yu Heng would not be implicated by the British princess, there was also unspeakable disappointment.
The new emperor bent down, and mentioned Ji Xinxue easily, sighing secretly that Ji Xinxue was particularly impatient today, but he felt pity for Ji Xinxue even more because of this, he explained, "It is the Taoist temple that has no problems for the time being, and there is indeed a problem with the white jade safety lock."
The problem with the white jade lock is the pattern.
After the man of fate checked whether the Baiyu Pingan Lock was contaminated by drugs and incense, the new emperor asked Songnian to send the Bai Yu Pingan Lock to the Jinwuwei Yamen.
Within half a day, Mo Yao brought his name Nei Wu to ask to see the new emperor.
But anyone who came out of the dark guard camp has a special skill, and the memory of Neiwu brought by Mo Yao is very good.
This neiwu told the new emperor that the white jade lock was carved with a rare flower in the Central Plains as an embellishment.
Among the people who were assassinated in the Hunting Mountain Palace, at least one-third of them could see this kind of flower on their clothes, purses, or ornaments on their bodies.
Ji Xinxue silently hugged Xindi's arm tightly.
Hearing these words, he had the illusion of dreaming back to the night of hunting in the palace.
The new emperor touched Ji Xinxue's bald hair from the top to the end, "When Jin Wuwei went to check the Taoist temple again, he found that although the accessories given to pilgrims by the Taoist temple were carved by the craftsmen in the Taoist temple, the patterns were not drawn by the craftsmen themselves. The Taoist Temple will regularly go to Jiangnan to order a batch of patterns and come back to ensure that the patterns on each accessory will not be exactly the same."
"Among the jade ornaments in Taoist temples, only white jade locks have exotic flowers?" Ji Xinxue asked.
The new emperor nodded, "On the day of the assassination, the white jade tied around Yan Meng's waist was locked with the pattern of exotic flowers, the plain roses on the head of Cheng'an County were decorated with exotic flowers, and the belt of Uncle Anding was embroidered with exotic flowers. The texture of..."
A total of 15 people were assassinated that night, and nine people were assassinated and killed.
Among the six living people, only the Lord Cheng'an and Yan Meng had things with exotic flower patterns on their bodies.
The county master of Cheng'an practiced martial arts since he was a child and was the closest to the Jinwu Guard when he was assassinated, but Yan Meng's appearance of innate supernatural power was extremely deceiving.
Noticing signs of insufficient brain power, Ji Xinxue immediately restrained his divergent thoughts and concentrated on thinking about the issues he cared most about.
Whether the British princess who gave Yu Heng the white jade safety lock was innocent in the assassination at the Hunting Palace.
According to what the new emperor told him, people with exotic flower accessories on their bodies include clansmen, nobles and courtiers. Among these people, he seems to be the only one who has a direct connection with the British princess.
Could it be that the Duchess of England is just someone who has been implicated in a conspiracy?
wrong!
Ji Xinxue's eyes widened suddenly. Besides him, Yu Heng also had a white jade safety lock.
Before handing over the two white jade safety locks to the new emperor, he had carefully compared the two white jade safety locks, and he was able to confirm that the two white jade safety locks were identical except that they were opposite locks, left and right, and all details were exactly the same.
Could there be someone in the palace who is the same as Yu Heng, who wears accessories with exotic flowers, but has never left the range of the Jinwu Guard, so he escaped?
Hearing Ji Xinxue's conjecture, the new emperor showed a satisfied smile, and said lightly, "Aniang has already checked the account books of your brothers and sisters' treasury, and found that Jingyu lost a crown when she was in the palace."
It's a pity that the time is too long, and it is impossible to check when the crown was lost, and whether it was replaced without anyone noticing.
The new emperor has sent Jinwu Guards to investigate the British government carefully, and so far no evidence has been found that the British princess deliberately handed over the white jade safety lock with the pattern of exotic flowers to Yu Heng.
On the contrary, it is even more suspicious to mention the efficacy of Taoism in front of the British princess in the Weiguo princess's mansion, and persuade the British princess to seek peace of mind for the younger generation.
According to Jin Wuwei's investigation, when the British princess went to the Taoist temple, there was only this pair of white jade safety locks with exotic flower patterns in the Taoist temple, which was suitable for Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue.
As long as the British father-in-law wants to pray for the safety of Yu Heng who is already engaged, she will definitely take this pair of white jade safety locks away.
Ji Xinxue heaved a long sigh, there was too little information, and the new emperor had no way to immediately judge whether the British Duke and Duchess were involved in the assassination of the Hunting Palace.
Now we can only get more information when Jin Wuwei, who went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the merchants who provided jade patterns for the Taoist temple, returns.
Knowing that King Li is about to die first, the Jiang family will not be able to flourish in the next year.
It is also known that the white jade safety lock is specially in the pattern of exotic flowers, not only many people in Chang'an are involved in it, but even Jiangnan can be traced.
Compared with these two incidents, the matter of Princess Dekang bewitching Concubine Zhong Shu to drug the new emperor suddenly became insignificant.
Ji Xinxue yawned lazily, and after breaking away from the unspeakable sadness, she recalled all the things that happened from yesterday to today, and buried her face in her arms.
He could only comfort himself with the fact that no outsiders saw him lose his composure.
The new emperor noticed Ji Xinxue's dishonesty, raised his eyelids and glanced back, "What do you want to eat for lunch, just tell the small kitchen, and go back to Taixue class honestly in the afternoon."
Ji Xinxue nodded silently, still buried her head in her arms like an ostrich.
The new emperor shook his head, took the purse he threw on the narrow table, got up and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence, "I still have two documents to read in my study, and I will accompany you for lunch later."
Ji Xinxue stood obediently on the spot and watched the new emperor leave, raised the back of her hand and pressed it to her burning face, first tied up the loose hair with the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket, and washed the crying hair in the warm water brought by Jingzhe. face, he went to find Yu Heng who was waiting for him elsewhere.
Leaving the room where Ji Xinxue was, the gentleness on Xindi's body immediately dissipated completely, and his eyes were full of coldness that made people feel cold.
"Go check."
Song Nian silently took the purse thrown by the new emperor in the air, and went to the Jinwuwei Yamen in person.
This kind of medicine is not a medicine for curing diseases and saving lives, Jin Wuwei understands it far better than Tai Hospital.
In just a quarter of an hour, Song Nian returned to the study with the Jin Wuwei, and under the oppressive gaze of the new emperor, he said with difficulty, "It is a medicine that makes men infertile."
"Just infertile?" Xindi sneered.
Song Nian was silent for a while, and tried to use the most concise language to accurately describe the consequences, "It will gradually be the same as Tianyi."
"Heh." Recalling what Ji Xinxue said, Xindi asked, "What will happen if women take it?"
Song Nian turned his head to look at the Jinwu Guard who had never spoken a word. The answer he gave to the new emperor just now was learned from the Jin Wuwei.
The Jinwu Guard knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "It will cause infertility and premature aging in women. Ten months seems like ten years."
There was silence in the study, and it was a long time before Xindi's voice sounded, "When these symptoms appear on her body, reveal the reason to Xiao Wu."
During lunch, no one mentioned Ji Xinxue's abnormality in the morning. The new emperor asked Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng if they had carefully copied the six dossiers.
Ji Xinxue copied the household files with the intention of finding loopholes in the tax laws of the Yu Dynasty. She spent a lot of time in organizing the files, and she could tell the details of the violations in the files he had already copied.
Either someone had a ghost in their hearts when recording the data, and made fake accounts but had limited ability to completely wipe out the accounts, or the person responsible for recording the data and reviewing the data was not suitable for the Ministry of Accounts, and they couldn't even understand the accounts.
In the Yanguang Dynasty, everything is possible, and Ji Xinxue has not come to a conclusion yet.
The new emperor asked about the copying of the dossier, not only not wanting to remind Ji Xinxue of those bad things, but also asking whether the two knew their mistakes.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xinxue not only carefully copied the dossier, but also noticed the unusualness in the dossier, which shows her delicate and thoughtful thoughts.
The new emperor was not in a hurry to praise Ji Xinxue, and turned to look at Yu Heng.
Yu Heng showed embarrassment, "I copied the dossier on the reconstruction of the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River in the third year of Yanguang, and I am trying to restore the reconstruction of the Jingzhou dam on the table, but I have not succeeded.
"Restored on the table?" Xindi asked with great interest, "What is this?
Yu Heng told the new emperor exactly what Ji Xinxue told him back then.
After copying the file of the Ministry of Industry, he and Ji Xinxue once lamented that it was a pity that they could not see the various constructions recorded in the file with their own eyes. Just imagining it with words always felt too vague.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, and taught him a lot of words such as "equal scale reduction", "creating environment within the scope"... and so on, which Yu Heng couldn't understand at all.
After finally understanding these explanations by relying on the tacit understanding with Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng tried to turn the words into reality. Unfortunately, in the actual operation, unexpected new difficulties always appeared, resulting in extremely slow progress.
The new emperor was even more at a loss when he heard Yu Heng's explanation than when Yu Heng heard Ji Xinxue's explanation for the first time, so he directly asked Yu Heng to move the semi-finished product into the palace tomorrow to show him
Because he was satisfied with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's attitude of being punished, the new emperor did not require them to copy how many files they had to copy, and he didn't mean to care about them any more if they sent the completed files to Fengxiang Palace.
Ji Xinxue yawned and went back to Taixue with Yu Heng. After watching the excitement of the whole afternoon in Wubing Palace, she deliberately left Li Jinhuan and others to have dinner at Taixue, and went directly to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.
The next day, Ji Xinxue went to Taixue to attend classes as usual. In the morning, she went to the teaching place of trade and engineering, in the afternoon, she went to the teaching place of horse politics and mathematics.
He pretended not to notice how Concubine Zhong Shu was relieved when she saw him, and skillfully ordered the maid to order food in the small kitchen, and walked to the dining hall with a calm expression, holding Concubine Zhong's arm.
After leaving Fengxiang Palace yesterday, he deliberately did not think about what Concubine Zhong Shu had done and Concubine Zhong Shu's future.
At this moment, Concubine Zhong Shu was right in front of him, it was time for him to think about this issue.
Ji Xinxue stared sideways at the tea on the table and fell into deep thought.
When Ji Xinxue learned of his verbal engagement with Yu Heng unexpectedly, Ji Xinxue let the new emperor know that he knew her real gender on the spur of the moment.
At that time, Ji Xinxue thought about whether to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he knew her real gender.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Ji Xinxue realized that he had no choice.
At that time, Concubine Zhong Shu had threatened the new emperor with his real gender and asked the new emperor to agree to his engagement with Zhong Twelve Lang, and was placed under house arrest by the new emperor in Qixia courtyard.He can neither communicate with Concubine Zhong Shu nor meet Concubine Zhong Shu, how can he tell Concubine Zhong Shu about this?
After Concubine Zhong Shu moved into the palace, Ji Xinxue also considered whether to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he already knew her true gender.
After rational thinking, Ji Xinxue felt that the risk of doing this was no less than telling Yu Heng suddenly that he also had the parts that Yu Heng had.
After years of getting along, Ji Xinxue knows that Concubine Zhong Shu is afraid of change.
When she was still in the small courtyard of the palace, Concubine Zhong Shu just raised him as a girl and asked him to learn female etiquette. The etiquette of women was etched in his bones.
After moving from the small courtyard of the Wangfu to Qixiayuan, Concubine Zhong Shu tried to make him keep a low profile by wearing clothes that did not fit her status as a noblewoman in the palace and acting in a low-key manner. Make dizzy efforts for this.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Zhong Shu moved from Qixia Courtyard to Jianjia Palace.
How dare Ji Xinxue let Concubine Zhong Shu get any stimulation at this time?
Especially when Empress Dowager Su's control over the imperial palace is far inferior to that of the palace, and Empress Dowager Jiang is watching, waiting to find fault with the new emperor.How could Ji Xinxue know that she could not restrain Concubine Zhong Shu, and suddenly told her something that she had held back for more than ten years.
In order to make Concubine Zhong Shu feel at ease, Ji Xinxue only often visits Concubine Zhong Shu in Jianjia Palace, and brings fresh and interesting things to Concubine Zhong Shu to relieve her boredom. Leisurely rich life.
The reality has proved that Ji Xinxue's gentle way is completely useless.
Concubine Zhong Shu didn't change because of Ji Xinxue's company and her rich and leisurely life, and the content she once recited and understood with the female lecturer didn't stay in her mind.
She was still daring, she could only see what was in front of her eyes, and she never thought that she could rely on her son who already had a title and land.
Just like when he was in the palace, he made decisions for Ji Xinxue on his own.
Ji Xinxue drank the tea and closed her eyes tiredly.
Now is still not a good time to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he already knows his true gender.
Again, even if he wanted to confide in Concubine Zhong Shu, he didn't know what to say to Concubine Zhong Shu.
"Xue Nu?" Concubine Zhong Shu approached Ji Xinxue cautiously, held Ji Xinxue's favorite pastry in front of Ji Xinxue, looked at Ji Xinxue with almost invisible flattery.
When Ji Xinxue picked up the pastry and stuffed it in her mouth, what she was thinking in her mind was whether Concubine Zhong Shu thought that some kind of medicine was given to him for his own benefit, would she put medicine in the pastry.
This thought almost made Ji Xinxue spit out, he endured the pain and swallowed the pastry in his mouth, he didn't want to smell the red beans again for a short time.
"Aniang, when you went to Ningshou Palace today, did you see Empress Dowager Jiang and Princess Dekang?" Ji Xinxue was absent-minded and had nothing to say, not realizing how stupid his question was.
Fortunately, Concubine Zhong Shu is not someone who cares about such details. She knew that Ji Xinxue was angry yesterday, and it was when she felt guilty. After finally waiting for Ji Xinxue to take the initiative to talk to her, she immediately replied, "I see, the eldest princess asked me to take the medicine. Hide it well, don't lose it, the only two medicines in her hand were given to me, and there is no more medicine."
After saying this, the guilty conscience in Concubine Zhong Shu's eyes turned into worry. She clearly didn't want to make Ji Xinxue angry again before Ji Xinxue calmed down, but she couldn't control her mouth, "Xue Nu, did you hide the medicine well? Or put it in the A Here, mother, when it's your birthday, mother will..."
"Aniang!" Ji Xinxue was so angry that he found a way to face Concubine Zhong Shu. He smiled and took Concubine Zhong Shu's arm, and raised his face obediently, "Don't worry, Aniang, I have put the porcelain bottle in the safest place." place, I promise not to lose it.”
"Where did you put it?" Concubine Zhong Shu was still worried.
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face became more sincere, "The colored stone is kept for me, if you don't believe me, you can ask the colored stone."
Concubine Zhong Shu hesitated for a while, and actually went to call Caishi outside the door, asking if Caishi would keep the vase for Ji Xinxue, and if she had put it away properly.
Ji Xinxue looked coldly at Caishi, who was clearly deceiving Concubine Zhong Shu but could immediately gain Concubine Zhong Shu's trust, and she was not sad at all, only "it really is".
Such Concubine Zhong Shu, what can he say to her?
The words of the new emperor suddenly appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind.
'Bring a girl from Zhong's house into the palace to accompany her. '
Originally, he thought that it would be a good idea if the new emperor wanted to put Concubine Zhong Shu under house arrest, but now Ji Xinxue only feels that his conscience hurts.
If Concubine Zhong Shu really puts her obsession on Zhong's cousin, how is it different from looking for a dead ghost?
At least he was born with a memory, and he also has the support of a new emperor who can crush all kinds of bizarre ideas of Concubine Zhong Shu.
Where is the unlucky cousin of the Zhong family?
If she is sent to the palace, she will become Concubine Zhong Shu's 'daughter'. When she grows up, Concubine Zhong Shu needs to nod to get married. The Zhong family has almost no intention of disobeying Concubine Zhong Shu for her.
Forget it, wait a few more months, when the Jiang family falls, the Empress Dowager Jiang will have nothing to worry about, and Princess Dekang will not be able to dominate the palace... and wait for the new emperor to decide how to deal with Concubine Zhong Shu.
After the dust settled, he thought about how to arrange a way out for Concubine Zhong Shu.
If possible, he still hopes that Concubine Zhong Shu can enjoy the hard-won glory and wealth in peace.
Concubine Zhong Shu confirmed from Caishi that Ji Xinxue was not lying, and finally let go of the worry hanging in her throat, happily had dinner with Ji Xinxue, and asked Caisui to bring all the new clothes she made for Ji Xinxue , One by one, compared with Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue tried every piece of clothing cooperatively, showing a joyful expression, and left Jianjia Palace under the satisfied eyes of Concubine Zhong Shu.
A few days later, when Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue mentioned that the British princess was unwell and did not plan to hold another birthday banquet, Ji Xinxue remembered that he had exposed the true colors of the British palace couple on the day of the British birthday banquet, prompting Yu Heng and A plan for the complete disintegration of the British government.
On the way, King Li captured King Xiang, Cui Qingxi, and Princess Dekang tricked Concubine Zhong Shu into administering medicine to the new emperor. Ji Xinxue knew that Baiyu Pingsuo was very involved, but she couldn't find the British princess for the time being. Plans are forgotten.
Ji Xinxue lowered her head to hide the tiredness in the corners of her eyes and brows, and carelessly said a few words to the British Duke.
At least until the matter between King Li and Jiang's family is completely settled, and Concubine Zhong Shu is punished by the new emperor, he will not care about the British government anymore.
When Yu Heng noticed Ji Xinxue's fatigue, pity flashed in his eyes, and he was silent for a while before speaking, "You can tell me what's on your mind, even if I can't help, I won't tell anyone."
Ji Xinxue curled the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Wait."
Talking about this with Yu Heng now, he can feel relieved because someone shares his thoughts, but it will not do any good to the innocent Yu Heng.
Disapproval appeared between Yu Heng's brows, "You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the panting palace maid.
Since going to the Lieshan Palace, the relationship between Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou has improved by leaps and bounds, and even the court ladies who accompanied Ji Jingrou have become familiar with Ji Xinxue.
She knew that Princess Anwu never shied away from the king of Xianglin County, so she said out of breath, "The Empress Dowager Jiang broke into the court to expose King Li's poisoning of the late emperor."
Ji Xinxue's eyes flashed brightly, and she chose to skip class without hesitation.
He and Yu Heng slipped out of Taixue openly and aboveboard, and met Ji Mingtong, Princess Dehui, and Ji Cheng during the period.
After the five people looked at each other in blank dismay, they first asked each other where they planned to go.
Ji Mingtong, Princess Dehui, and Ji Cheng planned to go to Tranquility Palace to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Su, and to catch up on the latest news of Empress Dowager Su by the way.
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she immediately abducted the three of them.
What are you doing at Tranquility Palace?
Maybe the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su were alarmed by this incident and had already rushed forward.
They went directly to Fengxiang Palace to hear the latest news.
Except for Ji Mingtong who went with Ji Xinxue without hesitation, Princess Dehui and Ji Cheng showed hesitation on their faces. They had the guts to go to the Queen Mother Su's Palace to get news, but they dared not go to Fengxiang Palace.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue and Ji Mingtong, who were the most active in eating melons, had already run away, Ji Cheng and Princess Dehui hesitated for a while, but still raised their legs to follow.
When everyone arrived at Fengxiang Palace, Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and Ji Jingyu were already sitting in the side hall of Fengxiang Palace, and there was no surprise on their faces when they saw Ji Xinxue and others.
After half an hour, the tea in the side hall had been changed for four rounds before the news of the previous dynasty came back to Fengxiang Palace, and the person who sent the news was the Jinwu Guard named Huo Yu.
He sternly repeated what the people in the court said, whether it was the way of punctuation or the calm tone, it made people very uncomfortable, and he couldn't make Huo Yu shut up, he could only ask Huo Yu to speak quickly.
As early as Empress Dowager Jiang appeared in front of the court, the center of the court was King Li.
Several censors from Yushitai jointly impeached Li Wangqiang for robbing civilian women and wantonly plundering shops, causing chaos in Chang'an and panic among the people.
The new emperor was extremely tolerant to King Li, not only promised to pay money from the private treasury to compensate the shops, but also willing to appease the robbed daughters for King Li. The people in the palace are all of equal rank, and they also paid the money from their private treasury.
Instead of being grateful for the new emperor's kindness, King Li felt that the new emperor was taking the blame on him, and shouted with disbelief, "I am also the son of the late emperor, and the whole country was given to Ji Linyuan. I only want a few women." What happened to a few things, what is the crime?"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers realized that King Li was full of alcohol.
Empress Dowager Jiang broke into the former court holding the empress dowager's golden seal when all the people in the court were focusing on King Li.
Li Wang, who was talking nonsense and drunkenly, saw the solemnly dressed Empress Dowager Jiang, subconsciously knelt on the ground, choked up and said, "Mother, I was wrong, I will go to pick up Tianniang back to the mansion and let her be the princess !"
It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Jiang didn't give King Li half of her eyes. She knelt down towards the new emperor and held up the empress dowager's golden seal to explain how she couldn't sleep at night after being saddened by King Li. By accident, they found evidence that King Li poisoned the first emperor.
The new emperor did not dare to accept the Queen Mother Jiang's kneeling, so he got up from the throne early and stood beside the royal case.
When he first heard what the Empress Dowager said, he still had surprise on his face, but in the end, only disbelief and anger remained on his face.
Hearing Huo Yu say in a serious tone that the new emperor threw King Li down, cried loudly, and punched King Li in the face, Ji Xinxue couldn't help but think of the calmness of the new emperor when he hinted that King Li was about to end, and secretly said "the film emperor" .
Unfortunately, King Li was knocked unconscious by the new emperor, and was carried down before he could react to what Queen Mother Jiang said.
The new emperor was so sad that he beat the ground and cried loudly, and had no time to identify the evidence provided by the Queen Mother Jiang, so this matter has never been conclusive.
When the clan carried Prince Qinghe, who was recuperating at home, into the palace, and the Empress Dowager Su, the Xiangui Concubine and others also rushed to the court, the new emperor barely escaped from the grief.
With red eyes, he refuted the evidence provided by Empress Dowager Jiang one by one, still unwilling to believe that King Li would commit patricide, even Empress Dowager Su and Prince Qinghe could not convince the new emperor.
In the end, it was Mo Yao who knelt in front of the new emperor, and told the new emperor with a heavy face that it was indeed King Li who poisoned the first emperor, so the new emperor was willing to believe the truth, but passed out because he couldn't bear the blow.
"And then?" Ji Mingtong spun around in a hurry, wishing he could get into Huo Yu's mind.
After Huo Yu was interrupted, he fell silent. He obviously thought for a while before looking at Ji Mingtong, "Does the princess ask His Majesty or King Li?"
Poor Ji Mingtong was so anxious that he was led into the ditch by Huo Yu, who obviously didn't have enough brains. He didn't expect that no matter whether Huo Yu said His Majesty or King Li, he would inevitably talk about other people, and fell into deep thought .
Ji Minyan frowned and said, "Let's talk about Aye first, then King Li."
Ji Xinxue felt that Ji Mingtong still wanted to speak, so she stretched out her hand to cover Ji Mingtong's mouth quickly.
He was afraid that if Ji Mingtong spoke again, Huo Yu would be completely speechless.
Ji Mingtong blinked aggrievedly but didn't struggle, and looked at Huo Yu with Ji Xinxue covering his mouth, looking extraordinarily well-behaved.
After the new emperor fainted, the imperial doctor who was administering acupuncture to King Li was immediately called to the new emperor's side.
After half a quarter of an hour, Xindi woke up, and the first sentence at the beginning was, "I seem to have a dream."
Mo Yao ruthlessly interrupted the new emperor, "Your Majesty, first avenge the late emperor before thinking about your dream."
Even though the new emperor had experienced many battles, he almost couldn't resist Mo Yao's straightforwardness. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ji... was expelled from the clan, deprived of his surname and name. Brother, send him to Aye Ling, no, he is not worthy to appear in front of Aye Ling!"
After speaking, the new emperor fainted again.
Mo Yao handed over the new emperor to Songnian and Huo Yu to take care of him, took a big knife to find King Li who was still in a coma, and cut off King Li's head directly.
When the courtiers realized that Mo Yao had suddenly asked the other Jinwu guards to guard the new emperor, and his reaction was not right when he strode away, King Li was completely cold when he chased him.
The courtiers retreated one after another, still maintaining the habit they had formed long ago, not letting go of any opportunity to accuse Mo Yao of crimes, trembling against Mo Yao.
Mo Yao looked at the courtiers indifferently, and said in a cold voice, "He is just a commoner who killed the late emperor. Your majesty said that he is not worthy to appear before the late emperor's spirit."
Otherwise, he could have kept the sinner for a few more days and cut off the sinner's head before the late emperor's spirit.
After speaking, Mo Yao wiped the sword and returned to the new emperor.
Song Nian received a hint from the new emperor, and seized the gap to ask Huo Yu to tell His Royal Highness who was waiting in Fengxiang Palace what happened in the previous dynasty.
Ji Xinxue, with her excellent brain-filling ability, completed the history of the previous affairs based on Huo Yu's impoverished and emotionless language, and her eyes were full of complexity.
He thought that the end of King Li would be a continuous process, but he didn't expect that it only took a moment when Mo Yao swung his saber.
In order to get rid of the scapegoat and prevent future troubles, Jiang's family, who did not hesitate to create evidence out of thin air to slander King Li, are you complacent at this time?
It wasn't until the afternoon that the new emperor was carried back to Fengxiang Palace by Jin Wuwei, his face was pale and his head was full of sweat.
Ji Xinxue mingled with his brothers and sisters to greet the new emperor, and did not leave until he watched the new emperor drink the tranquilizing medicine.
The last class of Taixue has already started, and no one has any plans to go back.
Ji Jingyu, Yu Heng, and Ji Cheng were going to visit Prince Qinghe who was also fainted from anger.
Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou planned to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Su.
Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui heard with their own ears that Mo Yao chopped off King Li's head, they were a little scared, they planned to sleep together at night, and they were fighting over who should go to the palace.
Ji Xinxue excused being tired, declined the invitation of Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui, returned to the bedroom alone, and spent half an hour listing all the people who had new and old grudges with the Jiang family.
One sheet of rice paper was not enough, and five sheets of rice paper were used, so there was no guarantee that there would be no omissions.
Ji Xinxue's gaze patrolled the five sheets of rice paper, and finally landed on the handwriting on the top of the first sheet of rice paper for a long time.
Choi
Except for the Cui family, who was barely able to fight against the "Jiang Banchao" in the Yanguang Dynasty, Ji Xinxue really couldn't think of anyone who could bring down the Jiang family in more than a month.
Ok?
Ji Xinxue took a pen and added the word "Mo Yao" in front of Cui Shi.
As long as Mo Yao thinks, it doesn't take more than a month, but just an hour, the Jiang family can be brought down.
When Ji Xinxue was immersed in the fun of guessing riddles, Song Nian went to Ji Xinxue's bedroom and asked Ji Xinxue to accompany Xindi to have dinner.
Arriving at Fengxiang Palace, Song Nian did not lead Ji Xinxue to the side hall where he had dinner.
Ji Xinxue walked with Songnian to more and more remote places with a blank face. If he was not sure that he entered Fengxiang Palace through the very familiar back door, Ji Xinxue would have doubted whether the people around him were Songnian.
Fengxiang Palace actually has such a remote place?
What happened next shocked Ji Xinxue.
Songnian led him into the hut heavily guarded by the Jinwu Guards, and went straight to the bedroom, picked up the mattress with ease, lifted the bed, turned to look at Ji Xinxue, "Don't worry, jump down, someone will catch you."
Ji Xinxue silently took half a step back. If Songnian hadn't said the second half of the sentence, he might feel more at ease.
"Your Majesty said, if you dare not jump, I will send you back." Songnian slowly bent his arm holding the bed board, as if he wanted to put down the bed board and send Ji Xinxue back to the bedroom.
"Wait!" Ji Xinxue plucked up her courage and looked under the bed board. It was not the darkness as he had imagined, but there were candles and the soft armor of the Jinwu Guards looming.
The person who will catch him is Jin Wuwei.
This thought made Ji Xinxue heave a sigh of relief. He grabbed Songnian's clothes with one hand to stabilize his figure, and with the other hand held the skirt, stepped over the height of the bed, and jumped down with his eyes closed.
The height was far lower than he had imagined, and the tall Jinwu Guard had to lower his head to walk.
Song Nian quietly landed next to Ji Xinxue, took the candle handed over by the Jinwu Guard, reminded Ji Xinxue not to talk, and continued to lead Ji Xinxue.
Not long after walking, Ji Xinxue heard the sound of the door opening.
As early as when Song Nian and Ji Xinxue jumped down, the Jin Wuwei, who was originally below, climbed up along the rope.There were only Ji Xinxue and Song Nian in the whole underground, and the only light source was the candle in Song Nian's hand, so the sense of voyeurism was particularly strong.
Ji Xinxue subconsciously slowed down her breathing, for fear of disturbing the people above.
"His Majesty."
The indifferent female voice was somewhat distorted when it passed from above to below, but it did not affect Ji Xinxue's identification of the owner of the voice at all.
Bai Qianli.
Always insisting that King Li is the late emperor's preferred successor, Bai Qianli tirelessly made trouble for the new emperor.
"Is something wrong with Bai Xiang?"
The new emperor's voice was no longer weak as in the afternoon, it sounded careless and perfunctory.
There was a muffled sound from above, followed by Bai Qianli's voice again.
"The minister sent the jade seal and Linglong box to His Majesty."
Ji Xinxue clenched her fingers nervously.
It is rumored that the Linglong Box left by Emperor Wu Ning and only passed down from generation to generation among the emperors really exists?
The new emperor didn't answer, light footsteps came from above to the ground, and then came Bai Qianli's voice again, "Your Majesty, please allow me to do something."
"Presumptuous!" Jing Zhe said coldly, "It's a serious crime for you to delay in presenting the jade seal and Linglong box to His Majesty, yet you still have the face to ask His Majesty for this."
Bai Qianli's voice was still cold and calm, "Your Majesty will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes when you are fooled by the Jiang family."
A sudden flash of light flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes. When he was planning the person who might bring down the Jiang family years ago in the bedroom, he actually forgot about Bai Qianli.
This can't be blamed on him, it's really because Bai Qianli's sense of existence is too low, and he concentrates on preventing the new emperor's envoy from decree on weekdays, and never participates in court battles.
If Bai Qianli believed from the bottom of his heart that the emperor's preferred heir was King Li, he chose to cooperate with the Jiang family on this basis, hid the jade seal and Linglong box, and tried his best to find trouble for the new emperor.
Today, he was caught off guard and learned that King Li was the chief culprit who killed the first emperor.
King Li had already been beheaded by Mo Yao, and Bai Qianli hated the Jiang family who 'fooled' her in anger, it seems not difficult to understand?
The look in Ji Xinxue's eyes gradually became thoughtful. Maybe the "they" mentioned by the new emperor were not others, but the "Jiang family". After they speculated that they might be targeted by Mo Yao, they made a foolish move.
The investigation of Baiyu Pingsuo has come to fruition.
The two white jade safety locks have no traces of being infected by drugs or incense, they are just ordinary jade pendants.The new emperor sent people to secretly investigate the Taoist temple where the British princess begged for Bai Yuping's safety lock, but they didn't find anything unusual.
The small Taoist temple located in the suburbs of Beijing will still prepare jade pendants with special meanings for the generous pilgrims, satisfying the pilgrims' wish to keep safe and have a child....
The jade materials used in these jade pendants can be traced to the exact origin. The person who carved the jade pendants was a well-known craftsman in the early years. He moved into the Taoist temple ten years ago, specializing in carving various jade ornaments for the Taoist temple.
"White jade safety lock is okay?" Ji Xinxue's eyes flashed blankly, apart from being glad that Yu Heng would not be implicated by the British princess, there was also unspeakable disappointment.
The new emperor bent down, and mentioned Ji Xinxue easily, sighing secretly that Ji Xinxue was particularly impatient today, but he felt pity for Ji Xinxue even more because of this, he explained, "It is the Taoist temple that has no problems for the time being, and there is indeed a problem with the white jade safety lock."
The problem with the white jade lock is the pattern.
After the man of fate checked whether the Baiyu Pingan Lock was contaminated by drugs and incense, the new emperor asked Songnian to send the Bai Yu Pingan Lock to the Jinwuwei Yamen.
Within half a day, Mo Yao brought his name Nei Wu to ask to see the new emperor.
But anyone who came out of the dark guard camp has a special skill, and the memory of Neiwu brought by Mo Yao is very good.
This neiwu told the new emperor that the white jade lock was carved with a rare flower in the Central Plains as an embellishment.
Among the people who were assassinated in the Hunting Mountain Palace, at least one-third of them could see this kind of flower on their clothes, purses, or ornaments on their bodies.
Ji Xinxue silently hugged Xindi's arm tightly.
Hearing these words, he had the illusion of dreaming back to the night of hunting in the palace.
The new emperor touched Ji Xinxue's bald hair from the top to the end, "When Jin Wuwei went to check the Taoist temple again, he found that although the accessories given to pilgrims by the Taoist temple were carved by the craftsmen in the Taoist temple, the patterns were not drawn by the craftsmen themselves. The Taoist Temple will regularly go to Jiangnan to order a batch of patterns and come back to ensure that the patterns on each accessory will not be exactly the same."
"Among the jade ornaments in Taoist temples, only white jade locks have exotic flowers?" Ji Xinxue asked.
The new emperor nodded, "On the day of the assassination, the white jade tied around Yan Meng's waist was locked with the pattern of exotic flowers, the plain roses on the head of Cheng'an County were decorated with exotic flowers, and the belt of Uncle Anding was embroidered with exotic flowers. The texture of..."
A total of 15 people were assassinated that night, and nine people were assassinated and killed.
Among the six living people, only the Lord Cheng'an and Yan Meng had things with exotic flower patterns on their bodies.
The county master of Cheng'an practiced martial arts since he was a child and was the closest to the Jinwu Guard when he was assassinated, but Yan Meng's appearance of innate supernatural power was extremely deceiving.
Noticing signs of insufficient brain power, Ji Xinxue immediately restrained his divergent thoughts and concentrated on thinking about the issues he cared most about.
Whether the British princess who gave Yu Heng the white jade safety lock was innocent in the assassination at the Hunting Palace.
According to what the new emperor told him, people with exotic flower accessories on their bodies include clansmen, nobles and courtiers. Among these people, he seems to be the only one who has a direct connection with the British princess.
Could it be that the Duchess of England is just someone who has been implicated in a conspiracy?
wrong!
Ji Xinxue's eyes widened suddenly. Besides him, Yu Heng also had a white jade safety lock.
Before handing over the two white jade safety locks to the new emperor, he had carefully compared the two white jade safety locks, and he was able to confirm that the two white jade safety locks were identical except that they were opposite locks, left and right, and all details were exactly the same.
Could there be someone in the palace who is the same as Yu Heng, who wears accessories with exotic flowers, but has never left the range of the Jinwu Guard, so he escaped?
Hearing Ji Xinxue's conjecture, the new emperor showed a satisfied smile, and said lightly, "Aniang has already checked the account books of your brothers and sisters' treasury, and found that Jingyu lost a crown when she was in the palace."
It's a pity that the time is too long, and it is impossible to check when the crown was lost, and whether it was replaced without anyone noticing.
The new emperor has sent Jinwu Guards to investigate the British government carefully, and so far no evidence has been found that the British princess deliberately handed over the white jade safety lock with the pattern of exotic flowers to Yu Heng.
On the contrary, it is even more suspicious to mention the efficacy of Taoism in front of the British princess in the Weiguo princess's mansion, and persuade the British princess to seek peace of mind for the younger generation.
According to Jin Wuwei's investigation, when the British princess went to the Taoist temple, there was only this pair of white jade safety locks with exotic flower patterns in the Taoist temple, which was suitable for Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue.
As long as the British father-in-law wants to pray for the safety of Yu Heng who is already engaged, she will definitely take this pair of white jade safety locks away.
Ji Xinxue heaved a long sigh, there was too little information, and the new emperor had no way to immediately judge whether the British Duke and Duchess were involved in the assassination of the Hunting Palace.
Now we can only get more information when Jin Wuwei, who went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the merchants who provided jade patterns for the Taoist temple, returns.
Knowing that King Li is about to die first, the Jiang family will not be able to flourish in the next year.
It is also known that the white jade safety lock is specially in the pattern of exotic flowers, not only many people in Chang'an are involved in it, but even Jiangnan can be traced.
Compared with these two incidents, the matter of Princess Dekang bewitching Concubine Zhong Shu to drug the new emperor suddenly became insignificant.
Ji Xinxue yawned lazily, and after breaking away from the unspeakable sadness, she recalled all the things that happened from yesterday to today, and buried her face in her arms.
He could only comfort himself with the fact that no outsiders saw him lose his composure.
The new emperor noticed Ji Xinxue's dishonesty, raised his eyelids and glanced back, "What do you want to eat for lunch, just tell the small kitchen, and go back to Taixue class honestly in the afternoon."
Ji Xinxue nodded silently, still buried her head in her arms like an ostrich.
The new emperor shook his head, took the purse he threw on the narrow table, got up and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence, "I still have two documents to read in my study, and I will accompany you for lunch later."
Ji Xinxue stood obediently on the spot and watched the new emperor leave, raised the back of her hand and pressed it to her burning face, first tied up the loose hair with the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket, and washed the crying hair in the warm water brought by Jingzhe. face, he went to find Yu Heng who was waiting for him elsewhere.
Leaving the room where Ji Xinxue was, the gentleness on Xindi's body immediately dissipated completely, and his eyes were full of coldness that made people feel cold.
"Go check."
Song Nian silently took the purse thrown by the new emperor in the air, and went to the Jinwuwei Yamen in person.
This kind of medicine is not a medicine for curing diseases and saving lives, Jin Wuwei understands it far better than Tai Hospital.
In just a quarter of an hour, Song Nian returned to the study with the Jin Wuwei, and under the oppressive gaze of the new emperor, he said with difficulty, "It is a medicine that makes men infertile."
"Just infertile?" Xindi sneered.
Song Nian was silent for a while, and tried to use the most concise language to accurately describe the consequences, "It will gradually be the same as Tianyi."
"Heh." Recalling what Ji Xinxue said, Xindi asked, "What will happen if women take it?"
Song Nian turned his head to look at the Jinwu Guard who had never spoken a word. The answer he gave to the new emperor just now was learned from the Jin Wuwei.
The Jinwu Guard knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "It will cause infertility and premature aging in women. Ten months seems like ten years."
There was silence in the study, and it was a long time before Xindi's voice sounded, "When these symptoms appear on her body, reveal the reason to Xiao Wu."
During lunch, no one mentioned Ji Xinxue's abnormality in the morning. The new emperor asked Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng if they had carefully copied the six dossiers.
Ji Xinxue copied the household files with the intention of finding loopholes in the tax laws of the Yu Dynasty. She spent a lot of time in organizing the files, and she could tell the details of the violations in the files he had already copied.
Either someone had a ghost in their hearts when recording the data, and made fake accounts but had limited ability to completely wipe out the accounts, or the person responsible for recording the data and reviewing the data was not suitable for the Ministry of Accounts, and they couldn't even understand the accounts.
In the Yanguang Dynasty, everything is possible, and Ji Xinxue has not come to a conclusion yet.
The new emperor asked about the copying of the dossier, not only not wanting to remind Ji Xinxue of those bad things, but also asking whether the two knew their mistakes.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xinxue not only carefully copied the dossier, but also noticed the unusualness in the dossier, which shows her delicate and thoughtful thoughts.
The new emperor was not in a hurry to praise Ji Xinxue, and turned to look at Yu Heng.
Yu Heng showed embarrassment, "I copied the dossier on the reconstruction of the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River in the third year of Yanguang, and I am trying to restore the reconstruction of the Jingzhou dam on the table, but I have not succeeded.
"Restored on the table?" Xindi asked with great interest, "What is this?
Yu Heng told the new emperor exactly what Ji Xinxue told him back then.
After copying the file of the Ministry of Industry, he and Ji Xinxue once lamented that it was a pity that they could not see the various constructions recorded in the file with their own eyes. Just imagining it with words always felt too vague.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, and taught him a lot of words such as "equal scale reduction", "creating environment within the scope"... and so on, which Yu Heng couldn't understand at all.
After finally understanding these explanations by relying on the tacit understanding with Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng tried to turn the words into reality. Unfortunately, in the actual operation, unexpected new difficulties always appeared, resulting in extremely slow progress.
The new emperor was even more at a loss when he heard Yu Heng's explanation than when Yu Heng heard Ji Xinxue's explanation for the first time, so he directly asked Yu Heng to move the semi-finished product into the palace tomorrow to show him
Because he was satisfied with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's attitude of being punished, the new emperor did not require them to copy how many files they had to copy, and he didn't mean to care about them any more if they sent the completed files to Fengxiang Palace.
Ji Xinxue yawned and went back to Taixue with Yu Heng. After watching the excitement of the whole afternoon in Wubing Palace, she deliberately left Li Jinhuan and others to have dinner at Taixue, and went directly to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.
The next day, Ji Xinxue went to Taixue to attend classes as usual. In the morning, she went to the teaching place of trade and engineering, in the afternoon, she went to the teaching place of horse politics and mathematics.
He pretended not to notice how Concubine Zhong Shu was relieved when she saw him, and skillfully ordered the maid to order food in the small kitchen, and walked to the dining hall with a calm expression, holding Concubine Zhong's arm.
After leaving Fengxiang Palace yesterday, he deliberately did not think about what Concubine Zhong Shu had done and Concubine Zhong Shu's future.
At this moment, Concubine Zhong Shu was right in front of him, it was time for him to think about this issue.
Ji Xinxue stared sideways at the tea on the table and fell into deep thought.
When Ji Xinxue learned of his verbal engagement with Yu Heng unexpectedly, Ji Xinxue let the new emperor know that he knew her real gender on the spur of the moment.
At that time, Ji Xinxue thought about whether to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he knew her real gender.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Ji Xinxue realized that he had no choice.
At that time, Concubine Zhong Shu had threatened the new emperor with his real gender and asked the new emperor to agree to his engagement with Zhong Twelve Lang, and was placed under house arrest by the new emperor in Qixia courtyard.He can neither communicate with Concubine Zhong Shu nor meet Concubine Zhong Shu, how can he tell Concubine Zhong Shu about this?
After Concubine Zhong Shu moved into the palace, Ji Xinxue also considered whether to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he already knew her true gender.
After rational thinking, Ji Xinxue felt that the risk of doing this was no less than telling Yu Heng suddenly that he also had the parts that Yu Heng had.
After years of getting along, Ji Xinxue knows that Concubine Zhong Shu is afraid of change.
When she was still in the small courtyard of the palace, Concubine Zhong Shu just raised him as a girl and asked him to learn female etiquette. The etiquette of women was etched in his bones.
After moving from the small courtyard of the Wangfu to Qixiayuan, Concubine Zhong Shu tried to make him keep a low profile by wearing clothes that did not fit her status as a noblewoman in the palace and acting in a low-key manner. Make dizzy efforts for this.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Zhong Shu moved from Qixia Courtyard to Jianjia Palace.
How dare Ji Xinxue let Concubine Zhong Shu get any stimulation at this time?
Especially when Empress Dowager Su's control over the imperial palace is far inferior to that of the palace, and Empress Dowager Jiang is watching, waiting to find fault with the new emperor.How could Ji Xinxue know that she could not restrain Concubine Zhong Shu, and suddenly told her something that she had held back for more than ten years.
In order to make Concubine Zhong Shu feel at ease, Ji Xinxue only often visits Concubine Zhong Shu in Jianjia Palace, and brings fresh and interesting things to Concubine Zhong Shu to relieve her boredom. Leisurely rich life.
The reality has proved that Ji Xinxue's gentle way is completely useless.
Concubine Zhong Shu didn't change because of Ji Xinxue's company and her rich and leisurely life, and the content she once recited and understood with the female lecturer didn't stay in her mind.
She was still daring, she could only see what was in front of her eyes, and she never thought that she could rely on her son who already had a title and land.
Just like when he was in the palace, he made decisions for Ji Xinxue on his own.
Ji Xinxue drank the tea and closed her eyes tiredly.
Now is still not a good time to tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he already knows his true gender.
Again, even if he wanted to confide in Concubine Zhong Shu, he didn't know what to say to Concubine Zhong Shu.
"Xue Nu?" Concubine Zhong Shu approached Ji Xinxue cautiously, held Ji Xinxue's favorite pastry in front of Ji Xinxue, looked at Ji Xinxue with almost invisible flattery.
When Ji Xinxue picked up the pastry and stuffed it in her mouth, what she was thinking in her mind was whether Concubine Zhong Shu thought that some kind of medicine was given to him for his own benefit, would she put medicine in the pastry.
This thought almost made Ji Xinxue spit out, he endured the pain and swallowed the pastry in his mouth, he didn't want to smell the red beans again for a short time.
"Aniang, when you went to Ningshou Palace today, did you see Empress Dowager Jiang and Princess Dekang?" Ji Xinxue was absent-minded and had nothing to say, not realizing how stupid his question was.
Fortunately, Concubine Zhong Shu is not someone who cares about such details. She knew that Ji Xinxue was angry yesterday, and it was when she felt guilty. After finally waiting for Ji Xinxue to take the initiative to talk to her, she immediately replied, "I see, the eldest princess asked me to take the medicine. Hide it well, don't lose it, the only two medicines in her hand were given to me, and there is no more medicine."
After saying this, the guilty conscience in Concubine Zhong Shu's eyes turned into worry. She clearly didn't want to make Ji Xinxue angry again before Ji Xinxue calmed down, but she couldn't control her mouth, "Xue Nu, did you hide the medicine well? Or put it in the A Here, mother, when it's your birthday, mother will..."
"Aniang!" Ji Xinxue was so angry that he found a way to face Concubine Zhong Shu. He smiled and took Concubine Zhong Shu's arm, and raised his face obediently, "Don't worry, Aniang, I have put the porcelain bottle in the safest place." place, I promise not to lose it.”
"Where did you put it?" Concubine Zhong Shu was still worried.
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face became more sincere, "The colored stone is kept for me, if you don't believe me, you can ask the colored stone."
Concubine Zhong Shu hesitated for a while, and actually went to call Caishi outside the door, asking if Caishi would keep the vase for Ji Xinxue, and if she had put it away properly.
Ji Xinxue looked coldly at Caishi, who was clearly deceiving Concubine Zhong Shu but could immediately gain Concubine Zhong Shu's trust, and she was not sad at all, only "it really is".
Such Concubine Zhong Shu, what can he say to her?
The words of the new emperor suddenly appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind.
'Bring a girl from Zhong's house into the palace to accompany her. '
Originally, he thought that it would be a good idea if the new emperor wanted to put Concubine Zhong Shu under house arrest, but now Ji Xinxue only feels that his conscience hurts.
If Concubine Zhong Shu really puts her obsession on Zhong's cousin, how is it different from looking for a dead ghost?
At least he was born with a memory, and he also has the support of a new emperor who can crush all kinds of bizarre ideas of Concubine Zhong Shu.
Where is the unlucky cousin of the Zhong family?
If she is sent to the palace, she will become Concubine Zhong Shu's 'daughter'. When she grows up, Concubine Zhong Shu needs to nod to get married. The Zhong family has almost no intention of disobeying Concubine Zhong Shu for her.
Forget it, wait a few more months, when the Jiang family falls, the Empress Dowager Jiang will have nothing to worry about, and Princess Dekang will not be able to dominate the palace... and wait for the new emperor to decide how to deal with Concubine Zhong Shu.
After the dust settled, he thought about how to arrange a way out for Concubine Zhong Shu.
If possible, he still hopes that Concubine Zhong Shu can enjoy the hard-won glory and wealth in peace.
Concubine Zhong Shu confirmed from Caishi that Ji Xinxue was not lying, and finally let go of the worry hanging in her throat, happily had dinner with Ji Xinxue, and asked Caisui to bring all the new clothes she made for Ji Xinxue , One by one, compared with Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue tried every piece of clothing cooperatively, showing a joyful expression, and left Jianjia Palace under the satisfied eyes of Concubine Zhong Shu.
A few days later, when Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue mentioned that the British princess was unwell and did not plan to hold another birthday banquet, Ji Xinxue remembered that he had exposed the true colors of the British palace couple on the day of the British birthday banquet, prompting Yu Heng and A plan for the complete disintegration of the British government.
On the way, King Li captured King Xiang, Cui Qingxi, and Princess Dekang tricked Concubine Zhong Shu into administering medicine to the new emperor. Ji Xinxue knew that Baiyu Pingsuo was very involved, but she couldn't find the British princess for the time being. Plans are forgotten.
Ji Xinxue lowered her head to hide the tiredness in the corners of her eyes and brows, and carelessly said a few words to the British Duke.
At least until the matter between King Li and Jiang's family is completely settled, and Concubine Zhong Shu is punished by the new emperor, he will not care about the British government anymore.
When Yu Heng noticed Ji Xinxue's fatigue, pity flashed in his eyes, and he was silent for a while before speaking, "You can tell me what's on your mind, even if I can't help, I won't tell anyone."
Ji Xinxue curled the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Wait."
Talking about this with Yu Heng now, he can feel relieved because someone shares his thoughts, but it will not do any good to the innocent Yu Heng.
Disapproval appeared between Yu Heng's brows, "You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the panting palace maid.
Since going to the Lieshan Palace, the relationship between Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou has improved by leaps and bounds, and even the court ladies who accompanied Ji Jingrou have become familiar with Ji Xinxue.
She knew that Princess Anwu never shied away from the king of Xianglin County, so she said out of breath, "The Empress Dowager Jiang broke into the court to expose King Li's poisoning of the late emperor."
Ji Xinxue's eyes flashed brightly, and she chose to skip class without hesitation.
He and Yu Heng slipped out of Taixue openly and aboveboard, and met Ji Mingtong, Princess Dehui, and Ji Cheng during the period.
After the five people looked at each other in blank dismay, they first asked each other where they planned to go.
Ji Mingtong, Princess Dehui, and Ji Cheng planned to go to Tranquility Palace to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Su, and to catch up on the latest news of Empress Dowager Su by the way.
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she immediately abducted the three of them.
What are you doing at Tranquility Palace?
Maybe the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su were alarmed by this incident and had already rushed forward.
They went directly to Fengxiang Palace to hear the latest news.
Except for Ji Mingtong who went with Ji Xinxue without hesitation, Princess Dehui and Ji Cheng showed hesitation on their faces. They had the guts to go to the Queen Mother Su's Palace to get news, but they dared not go to Fengxiang Palace.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue and Ji Mingtong, who were the most active in eating melons, had already run away, Ji Cheng and Princess Dehui hesitated for a while, but still raised their legs to follow.
When everyone arrived at Fengxiang Palace, Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and Ji Jingyu were already sitting in the side hall of Fengxiang Palace, and there was no surprise on their faces when they saw Ji Xinxue and others.
After half an hour, the tea in the side hall had been changed for four rounds before the news of the previous dynasty came back to Fengxiang Palace, and the person who sent the news was the Jinwu Guard named Huo Yu.
He sternly repeated what the people in the court said, whether it was the way of punctuation or the calm tone, it made people very uncomfortable, and he couldn't make Huo Yu shut up, he could only ask Huo Yu to speak quickly.
As early as Empress Dowager Jiang appeared in front of the court, the center of the court was King Li.
Several censors from Yushitai jointly impeached Li Wangqiang for robbing civilian women and wantonly plundering shops, causing chaos in Chang'an and panic among the people.
The new emperor was extremely tolerant to King Li, not only promised to pay money from the private treasury to compensate the shops, but also willing to appease the robbed daughters for King Li. The people in the palace are all of equal rank, and they also paid the money from their private treasury.
Instead of being grateful for the new emperor's kindness, King Li felt that the new emperor was taking the blame on him, and shouted with disbelief, "I am also the son of the late emperor, and the whole country was given to Ji Linyuan. I only want a few women." What happened to a few things, what is the crime?"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers realized that King Li was full of alcohol.
Empress Dowager Jiang broke into the former court holding the empress dowager's golden seal when all the people in the court were focusing on King Li.
Li Wang, who was talking nonsense and drunkenly, saw the solemnly dressed Empress Dowager Jiang, subconsciously knelt on the ground, choked up and said, "Mother, I was wrong, I will go to pick up Tianniang back to the mansion and let her be the princess !"
It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Jiang didn't give King Li half of her eyes. She knelt down towards the new emperor and held up the empress dowager's golden seal to explain how she couldn't sleep at night after being saddened by King Li. By accident, they found evidence that King Li poisoned the first emperor.
The new emperor did not dare to accept the Queen Mother Jiang's kneeling, so he got up from the throne early and stood beside the royal case.
When he first heard what the Empress Dowager said, he still had surprise on his face, but in the end, only disbelief and anger remained on his face.
Hearing Huo Yu say in a serious tone that the new emperor threw King Li down, cried loudly, and punched King Li in the face, Ji Xinxue couldn't help but think of the calmness of the new emperor when he hinted that King Li was about to end, and secretly said "the film emperor" .
Unfortunately, King Li was knocked unconscious by the new emperor, and was carried down before he could react to what Queen Mother Jiang said.
The new emperor was so sad that he beat the ground and cried loudly, and had no time to identify the evidence provided by the Queen Mother Jiang, so this matter has never been conclusive.
When the clan carried Prince Qinghe, who was recuperating at home, into the palace, and the Empress Dowager Su, the Xiangui Concubine and others also rushed to the court, the new emperor barely escaped from the grief.
With red eyes, he refuted the evidence provided by Empress Dowager Jiang one by one, still unwilling to believe that King Li would commit patricide, even Empress Dowager Su and Prince Qinghe could not convince the new emperor.
In the end, it was Mo Yao who knelt in front of the new emperor, and told the new emperor with a heavy face that it was indeed King Li who poisoned the first emperor, so the new emperor was willing to believe the truth, but passed out because he couldn't bear the blow.
"And then?" Ji Mingtong spun around in a hurry, wishing he could get into Huo Yu's mind.
After Huo Yu was interrupted, he fell silent. He obviously thought for a while before looking at Ji Mingtong, "Does the princess ask His Majesty or King Li?"
Poor Ji Mingtong was so anxious that he was led into the ditch by Huo Yu, who obviously didn't have enough brains. He didn't expect that no matter whether Huo Yu said His Majesty or King Li, he would inevitably talk about other people, and fell into deep thought .
Ji Minyan frowned and said, "Let's talk about Aye first, then King Li."
Ji Xinxue felt that Ji Mingtong still wanted to speak, so she stretched out her hand to cover Ji Mingtong's mouth quickly.
He was afraid that if Ji Mingtong spoke again, Huo Yu would be completely speechless.
Ji Mingtong blinked aggrievedly but didn't struggle, and looked at Huo Yu with Ji Xinxue covering his mouth, looking extraordinarily well-behaved.
After the new emperor fainted, the imperial doctor who was administering acupuncture to King Li was immediately called to the new emperor's side.
After half a quarter of an hour, Xindi woke up, and the first sentence at the beginning was, "I seem to have a dream."
Mo Yao ruthlessly interrupted the new emperor, "Your Majesty, first avenge the late emperor before thinking about your dream."
Even though the new emperor had experienced many battles, he almost couldn't resist Mo Yao's straightforwardness. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ji... was expelled from the clan, deprived of his surname and name. Brother, send him to Aye Ling, no, he is not worthy to appear in front of Aye Ling!"
After speaking, the new emperor fainted again.
Mo Yao handed over the new emperor to Songnian and Huo Yu to take care of him, took a big knife to find King Li who was still in a coma, and cut off King Li's head directly.
When the courtiers realized that Mo Yao had suddenly asked the other Jinwu guards to guard the new emperor, and his reaction was not right when he strode away, King Li was completely cold when he chased him.
The courtiers retreated one after another, still maintaining the habit they had formed long ago, not letting go of any opportunity to accuse Mo Yao of crimes, trembling against Mo Yao.
Mo Yao looked at the courtiers indifferently, and said in a cold voice, "He is just a commoner who killed the late emperor. Your majesty said that he is not worthy to appear before the late emperor's spirit."
Otherwise, he could have kept the sinner for a few more days and cut off the sinner's head before the late emperor's spirit.
After speaking, Mo Yao wiped the sword and returned to the new emperor.
Song Nian received a hint from the new emperor, and seized the gap to ask Huo Yu to tell His Royal Highness who was waiting in Fengxiang Palace what happened in the previous dynasty.
Ji Xinxue, with her excellent brain-filling ability, completed the history of the previous affairs based on Huo Yu's impoverished and emotionless language, and her eyes were full of complexity.
He thought that the end of King Li would be a continuous process, but he didn't expect that it only took a moment when Mo Yao swung his saber.
In order to get rid of the scapegoat and prevent future troubles, Jiang's family, who did not hesitate to create evidence out of thin air to slander King Li, are you complacent at this time?
It wasn't until the afternoon that the new emperor was carried back to Fengxiang Palace by Jin Wuwei, his face was pale and his head was full of sweat.
Ji Xinxue mingled with his brothers and sisters to greet the new emperor, and did not leave until he watched the new emperor drink the tranquilizing medicine.
The last class of Taixue has already started, and no one has any plans to go back.
Ji Jingyu, Yu Heng, and Ji Cheng were going to visit Prince Qinghe who was also fainted from anger.
Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou planned to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Su.
Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui heard with their own ears that Mo Yao chopped off King Li's head, they were a little scared, they planned to sleep together at night, and they were fighting over who should go to the palace.
Ji Xinxue excused being tired, declined the invitation of Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui, returned to the bedroom alone, and spent half an hour listing all the people who had new and old grudges with the Jiang family.
One sheet of rice paper was not enough, and five sheets of rice paper were used, so there was no guarantee that there would be no omissions.
Ji Xinxue's gaze patrolled the five sheets of rice paper, and finally landed on the handwriting on the top of the first sheet of rice paper for a long time.
Choi
Except for the Cui family, who was barely able to fight against the "Jiang Banchao" in the Yanguang Dynasty, Ji Xinxue really couldn't think of anyone who could bring down the Jiang family in more than a month.
Ok?
Ji Xinxue took a pen and added the word "Mo Yao" in front of Cui Shi.
As long as Mo Yao thinks, it doesn't take more than a month, but just an hour, the Jiang family can be brought down.
When Ji Xinxue was immersed in the fun of guessing riddles, Song Nian went to Ji Xinxue's bedroom and asked Ji Xinxue to accompany Xindi to have dinner.
Arriving at Fengxiang Palace, Song Nian did not lead Ji Xinxue to the side hall where he had dinner.
Ji Xinxue walked with Songnian to more and more remote places with a blank face. If he was not sure that he entered Fengxiang Palace through the very familiar back door, Ji Xinxue would have doubted whether the people around him were Songnian.
Fengxiang Palace actually has such a remote place?
What happened next shocked Ji Xinxue.
Songnian led him into the hut heavily guarded by the Jinwu Guards, and went straight to the bedroom, picked up the mattress with ease, lifted the bed, turned to look at Ji Xinxue, "Don't worry, jump down, someone will catch you."
Ji Xinxue silently took half a step back. If Songnian hadn't said the second half of the sentence, he might feel more at ease.
"Your Majesty said, if you dare not jump, I will send you back." Songnian slowly bent his arm holding the bed board, as if he wanted to put down the bed board and send Ji Xinxue back to the bedroom.
"Wait!" Ji Xinxue plucked up her courage and looked under the bed board. It was not the darkness as he had imagined, but there were candles and the soft armor of the Jinwu Guards looming.
The person who will catch him is Jin Wuwei.
This thought made Ji Xinxue heave a sigh of relief. He grabbed Songnian's clothes with one hand to stabilize his figure, and with the other hand held the skirt, stepped over the height of the bed, and jumped down with his eyes closed.
The height was far lower than he had imagined, and the tall Jinwu Guard had to lower his head to walk.
Song Nian quietly landed next to Ji Xinxue, took the candle handed over by the Jinwu Guard, reminded Ji Xinxue not to talk, and continued to lead Ji Xinxue.
Not long after walking, Ji Xinxue heard the sound of the door opening.
As early as when Song Nian and Ji Xinxue jumped down, the Jin Wuwei, who was originally below, climbed up along the rope.There were only Ji Xinxue and Song Nian in the whole underground, and the only light source was the candle in Song Nian's hand, so the sense of voyeurism was particularly strong.
Ji Xinxue subconsciously slowed down her breathing, for fear of disturbing the people above.
"His Majesty."
The indifferent female voice was somewhat distorted when it passed from above to below, but it did not affect Ji Xinxue's identification of the owner of the voice at all.
Bai Qianli.
Always insisting that King Li is the late emperor's preferred successor, Bai Qianli tirelessly made trouble for the new emperor.
"Is something wrong with Bai Xiang?"
The new emperor's voice was no longer weak as in the afternoon, it sounded careless and perfunctory.
There was a muffled sound from above, followed by Bai Qianli's voice again.
"The minister sent the jade seal and Linglong box to His Majesty."
Ji Xinxue clenched her fingers nervously.
It is rumored that the Linglong Box left by Emperor Wu Ning and only passed down from generation to generation among the emperors really exists?
The new emperor didn't answer, light footsteps came from above to the ground, and then came Bai Qianli's voice again, "Your Majesty, please allow me to do something."
"Presumptuous!" Jing Zhe said coldly, "It's a serious crime for you to delay in presenting the jade seal and Linglong box to His Majesty, yet you still have the face to ask His Majesty for this."
Bai Qianli's voice was still cold and calm, "Your Majesty will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes when you are fooled by the Jiang family."
A sudden flash of light flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes. When he was planning the person who might bring down the Jiang family years ago in the bedroom, he actually forgot about Bai Qianli.
This can't be blamed on him, it's really because Bai Qianli's sense of existence is too low, and he concentrates on preventing the new emperor's envoy from decree on weekdays, and never participates in court battles.
If Bai Qianli believed from the bottom of his heart that the emperor's preferred heir was King Li, he chose to cooperate with the Jiang family on this basis, hid the jade seal and Linglong box, and tried his best to find trouble for the new emperor.
Today, he was caught off guard and learned that King Li was the chief culprit who killed the first emperor.
King Li had already been beheaded by Mo Yao, and Bai Qianli hated the Jiang family who 'fooled' her in anger, it seems not difficult to understand?
The look in Ji Xinxue's eyes gradually became thoughtful. Maybe the "they" mentioned by the new emperor were not others, but the "Jiang family". After they speculated that they might be targeted by Mo Yao, they made a foolish move.
