How could Zhao Nian'an miss such a good opportunity to watch the excitement, so he also got on the carriage, and got on the front one with Ji Fuyin and Gu Hanqian.

After the carriage started running, Zhao Nian'an said, "What's going on with the map?"

Ji Fuyin shook her head, "The Ji family has never had anything like that. Even if it did, it wouldn't be so careless. It would just be placed in the eldest brother's study and then taken out casually."

"Did you really take it out casually?" Gu Hanqian's expression was a little solemn, "Fuyin, I always feel that there must be something inside in this matter..."

Zhao Nian'an twitched his lips, "From what I heard before, I thought the person who took action would be Brother Sixth Emperor, but I didn't expect it would be Brother Three Emperors."

"Although your Third Emperor brother is not a good person, he will not be the instigator this time." Ji Fuyin said naturally, as if she didn't even realize that the two men sitting in the same carriage with her were

Brother, he is the man she calls "not a good guy".

"Why?" Zhao Nian'an asked.

"There is not enough time." Ji Fuyin answered him, "The Third Highness has not been back for a long time. It will take a long time to arrange everything on the mountain and find a way to expose this map to the public.

, even if he could come up with such a plan, he would not have time to implement it."

Zhao Nian'an looked at her curiously, "You haven't gone to the mountain yet, so how do you know that it's troublesome to arrange everything on the mountain? Maybe you just buried a small box in it."

Ji Fuyin smiled, with a flash of worry between her eyebrows. If she would choose to reveal the map at such a moment when all the ministers gathered, that person must be completely sure. Once the things on the mountain are found, they will definitely find it.

It caused a devastating blow to the Ji family.

"No matter how big a box is, what can it hold?" Ji Fuyin said, "Historically, the most powerful evidence for slandering ministers is nothing more than two kinds: secretly hiding dragon robes and secretly building arsenals.

Of the two, the only one that can be hidden in the box is the dragon robe."

"But if that person wants to use the dragon robe to slander our Ji family, the effect of hiding it in the mountain is not as good as the effect of being searched from the Ji family. So..."

Zhao Nian'an's eyes widened, "So... what's on that mountain is, is..."

Ji Fuyin nodded, gently opened the curtain, and looked at the bumpy road outside, "Whether it's true or not, it won't be difficult to know when you see it."

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped at the foot of a particularly inconspicuous mountain. The mountain looked very deserted. There should not even be anyone who went up there to cut firewood. There was only a winding path up the mountain.

It was as if he was deliberately waiting for their arrival.

After all, Eunuch Lu was old, and he could barely walk normally, but climbing the mountain was difficult for ten thousand people, so he could only let a few strong attendants take turns to carry Eunuch Lu up the mountain.

"We're here, father-in-law, the place should be right here." The leading attendant looked at the markings on the map and pointed to a big pine tree in front of him. There were two big stones side by side under the pine tree, which were the same as those drawn on the map.

are exactly the same.

Mr. Lu straightened his wrinkled clothes and tapped his cane on the ground, "Search for me. Look carefully everywhere. You must not miss anything!"

Everyone responded in unison and immediately began to scatter everywhere. Suddenly, a guard said: "Here, there is a cave here, and someone added a door to the cave!"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, everyone gathered in front of the cave door, looking at the two closed brown doors with a lot of vines artificially hung on them. If you hadn't looked carefully, you would have passed by here normally.

People who don't know it may not even notice that there are two gates here.

There was a large brass lock hanging on the door. Eunuch Lu bowed respectfully to Ji Yuntian and said, "Master, please give the key to this door to me for now."

Ji Yuntian's eyebrows tightened, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Eunuch Lu, you are really mistaken. This place has nothing to do with our Ji family at all. How can I have the key to this place?"

Eunuch Lu was not in a hurry. When he saw that Ji Yuntian couldn't get the key, he turned around and ordered a servant with more agile legs to go down the mountain quickly and ask two people who knew how to open locks to come up. After a while, one old and the other came up.

The two young men followed them up the mountain. They studied the big brass lock for a while, and finally heard a snapping sound.

The lock was unlocked, but Eunuch Lu was not in a hurry to push the door in. He first gave the old man and young man the money they should give, and sent them down the mountain. Then he motioned to the guards on the side to come forward and push the door open.

The moment the door was opened, the wet moisture from the top of the mountain immediately emitted, and the light from outside shone into the cave. When everything inside was clearly seen, not only Eunuch Lu's face changed, but the faces of everyone present also changed.

The brushing has changed.

Inside the cave, it is like an empty warehouse, but there are all kinds of gleaming swords, guns and weapons on the shelves, piled on the floor and hanging on the walls. This is obviously a hidden weapons warehouse!

Zhao Guangzheng suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart. No matter who set this up, the Ji family was going to suffer this time, but they couldn't run away. Before Lu Gongzheng could speak openly, Zhao Guangzheng looked at it with a bit of schadenfreude.

Ji Fuyin said, "Princess, is this the arsenal of the Ji Mansion?"

A faint light flashed in Ji Yuntian's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Third sister entered the palace early. Who placed this weapons arsenal here? Even I don't know. How could third sister know?"

Ji Fuyin knew that her eldest brother had already prepared for the worst in an instant. If the arsenal of weapons that appeared out of nowhere today was forced on the Ji family, then at least he would

As an eldest brother, you should also try your best to protect your sister!

Without saying a word, Eunuch Lu entered the weapons depot. Looking at the overwhelming, gleaming weapons, he walked to the corner and opened a closed box. There was a flag inside. Eunuch Lu squinted his eyes.

, took out the flag, and there was a huge word "Ji" written on it.

Eunuch Lu's face instantly became a little angry. He turned his head and said with a serious expression, "Quickly report to the emperor that the Ji family has a secret arsenal of weapons and has evil intentions. It is very suspicious!"

"Wait a minute!" Ji Fuyin clenched her palms slightly, and some damp beads of sweat oozed from her palms. Before she could come up with a complete solution, this matter must not be reported to the emperor no matter what!

"Eunuch Lu." Ji Fuyin stepped forward and said respectfully to Eunuch Lu, "Eunuch Lu, just based on this cave, I have concluded that the Ji family has the intention to commit rebellion. Isn't it too arbitrary for my father-in-law to draw this conclusion?

How can my father-in-law be sure that the Ji family has not been framed by someone?"

"Princess, I have no intention of going against the Ji family, but if you were an old slave, Princess, what would you think if you saw these things? And this flag, Mr. Ji is just the Minister of the Ministry of War, so he made such a big one

What is the purpose of the majestic flag?"

Eunuch Lu said: "I only believe what I see with my own eyes. Regardless of whether your Ji family has been slandered or not, this matter should ultimately be left to the emperor to decide. The old slave is just a pawn working for the emperor. He will not decide the case."

It's really not the old slave's turn to interfere in matters of discernment.

After saying that, Eunuch Lu waved his hand, and the man immediately understood and quickly turned around and left. From here to entering the palace and entering the emperor, if there are no accidents, it will take about two hours, one trip at a time.

, it will not exceed four hours at most.

Ji Fuyin held the corner of her sleeve in her palm, which was soaked with her sweat. She could almost predict how furious the emperor would be after hearing that the Ji family was suspected of building a weapons arsenal.

Four hours later, what kind of miserable fate will await the Ji family—

The nails slowly pierced into the palm of her hand, but she didn't feel any pain at all. What she needed now was this kind of stinging pain to keep her awake.

Ji Fuyin raised her gaze and looked at everything in the armory bit by bit, as if she wanted to imprint in her mind how many knives and swords there were.

"Princess, I have been outside the Great Wall all year round, and I don't know much about the rules of Daye. As a minister, if a private cache of weapons is found at home, how should I be punished according to the laws of Daye?" Zhao Guangzheng walked briskly.

He walked over with a gloating smile on his face.

Ji Fuyin smiled softly, "This weapons depot has nothing to do with us Ji family members. I don't need to care about this. But His Highness is so concerned about the punishment after conviction. Could it be that the person who set up the weapons depot here has framed us again?"

The person who heads the Ji family is the Third Highness, aren't you?"

"Princess, you can only use your sharp tongue now." Zhao Guangzheng's face showed a hint of sarcasm, "When Father's decree comes through, nothing you say will have any effect."

"Your Highness is concerned." Ji Fuyin had already looked at everything in the cave carefully, turned around and walked out. Gu Hanqian and Zhao Nian'an were whispering something together with Ji Yuntian.

Seeing Ji Fuyin come out, Ji Yuntian forced a smile and said, "Are you okay?"
