"Nie Yi, how did the investigation go when I ordered you to investigate the leakage of Fengqi Palace?" The young man stood with his hands behind his hands. He was obviously only a thirteen-year-old boy, but he exuded an aura of a king that no one else could match.
"Your Highness, my subordinates tried all the servants in Fengqi Palace, but they all said they were unjust. In addition, they also found out that the snacks eaten by the fourth prince were poisonous. The snacks were brought by Your Highness, and the fire was caused by the candlestick.
Turn over and set fire to the tent."
"Are you saying Gu's box of snacks is poisonous?" Song Yulian's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through his dark eyes. He originally wanted to eat that box of snacks, but then he thought that Song Yucong also liked it, so he brought it to him.
, to make him happy, but he didn't expect that it almost killed him. If the water leak was an accident, then the poisoning was for him. It seems that someone in the capital has pulled him down.
"Your Highness, do you want to tell the Empress about this matter?" Nie Yi asked, "After all, this is a harem matter. If Your Highness doesn't repay the Empress, there may be something wrong."
"This matter is related to Cong'er, and it is closely related to Gu. There is nothing wrong with checking it alone. As for the mother, don't tell her yet. In the past few days, she has been guarding Cong'er and went to Yaoyu Valley to invite Mr. and Mrs. Ji Mingnan.
, don’t bother her with this matter, and these other dirty things, I don’t want to
Mother, go and touch it." Song Yulian said, his eyes falling on the snacks on the table, and he became a little sinister, "Order secret guards to guard Fengqi Hall and Changning Hall, and also check who has passed through the hands of the box of snacks except Gu.
." If someone wants to touch his flesh and blood relatives, he will definitely let that person die!
As soon as Nie Yi left, the young eunuch Zhongshou next to Song Yulian walked in, lowered his head and reported, "Your Highness, there is news from Fengqi Palace that the fourth prince has overcome the difficulty, so please don't worry."
"I know." Song Yulian was named the crown prince at the age of nine. He has been in this position for almost four years now. He has escaped many open and secret arrows. Except for many dissidents, everyone only said that this new crown prince is better than Emperor Xuan Rui.
He was much more ruthless when he was a prince, but he didn't know who would protect his loved ones if he wasn't ruthless.
"Send the Concentration Pill to Fengqi Hall and tell the Queen Mother to take good care of Cong'er. Everything is fine here in the East Palace." The candlelight in the glazed lamp shone on Song Yulian's face. The face that had grown longer looked like Tang Fengchu's.
Seven points like Emperor Xuan Rui, cold and handsome. The young eunuch Zhongshou who had been taking care of him responded and stepped back. The master of his family was unpredictable, and he never dared to guess Song Yulian's thoughts.
When Ji Mingnan left the Fengqi Palace, he felt chills all over his body and a familiar pain in his chest. "Mr. Ji, what's wrong with you?" The little eunuch on the side noticed that Ji Mingnan's face was unusually busy and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a recurrence of the old illness." Ji Mingnan said, covering his chest, "Can you help me go to the pavilion over there to have a rest?"
"Okay." The young eunuch helped Ji Mingnan to the pavilion. He saw that his face was pale and his whole body was cold. "Mr. Ji, it's getting late today and you are not feeling well. Otherwise, don't leave the palace and rest in the palace tomorrow."
Wait until you feel better before leaving the palace."
"No, I'll just rest for a while." Ji Mingnan took out the pills he carried with him from his arms and took one. He felt much better instantly. "The carriage to pick me up should be outside the palace gate. Can you please send me out, father-in-law?"
.”
The little eunuch helped Ji Mingnan walk towards the palace gate. Sure enough, there was a carriage parked there. The corners of Ji Mingnan's mouth raised slightly and he couldn't help but walk faster. At this time, a man wearing a purple python robe and a jade head came towards him.
The young eunuch hurriedly saluted the man with his crown and tied hair, exuding a fierce aura, "I'd like to pay my respects to King Zi Ling."
Ji Mingnan hurriedly lowered his head and clasped his fists, "The common people have seen King Zi Ling."
Song Hanzhuo didn't even look at them, and strode past them with his guards. Ji Mingnan straightened up and looked at Song Hanzhuo's back, his bright eyes not knowing what he was thinking.
"Husband." A soft voice sounded behind Ji Mingnan. Wu Xun was worried that Ji Mingnan had put him to sleep and Ji Mianxi had come to pick him up in person.
"Why are you here?" Ji Mingnan rushed to greet him and looked at Wu Xun nervously, "It's so late, what if you catch a cold?"
"How can I be so delicate?" Wu Xun held Ji Mingnan's hand and frowned slightly, "Why are my hands so cold? Where is your hand stove?"
"You came out in a hurry. She is probably trapped in the palace. Let's go back."
"Really, I don't know how to take care of myself at all..." Wu Xun complained.
When Song Hanzhuo heard the somewhat familiar voice, he suddenly turned around and looked at the man and woman at the palace entrance in the dark. He saw the woman chattering to the man and expressing concern. The figure on the back was so familiar, just like in his dream.
The person inside was just too dim and the man was blocking the woman, so he couldn't see clearly.
"My lord, what are you looking at?" Yun Li followed Song Hanzhuo's gaze and saw a carriage slowly driving out of the palace, and asked, "Is there something wrong with that carriage?"
"Who were that couple just now?" Song Hanzhuo stopped the talented young eunuch and asked.
"The prince is Mr. Ji and his wife who are treating the fourth prince." The little eunuch replied respectfully, feeling extremely nervous. The whole world knew that since the death of Princess Ziling, Prince Ziling's temperament has become even worse.
eccentric.
"Mr. Ji?" Song Hanzhuo narrowed his eyes and asked sharply, "But Ji Nanbei?!"
"No, no." The little eunuch didn't know why King Zi Ling suddenly became so excited. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "No, he is the owner of Yaoyu Valley, Ji Mingnan."
"Yaoyu Valley, Ji Mingnan..." Song Hanzhuo suddenly felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and murmured, "Why did I forget, he has been missing for ten years. Even if he is alive, how can he be in the palace..."
"Your Majesty..." Yun Li looked at Song Hanzhuo worriedly. When the news came about the death of the princess, another person also disappeared - that is Ji Nanbei, who had gone to study water with the princess. It seemed that he had disappeared from this world.
Just like evaporating, the Ji family also suffered heavy losses and began to hide in the world. It was only in the past year that they gradually resurfaced.
"My king is fine." Song Hanzhuo returned to his previous appearance, his eyes fell on the empty palace entrance, and he whispered, "Yun Li, go check on Ji Mingnan."
I hope he is overthinking it, but the sound just now was very familiar. One time, Ye Fuxun suddenly had a sudden idea and called him husband, and plausibly said, "Calling you Wangye is too foreign, calling me by name is too disrespectful. Calling this is too disrespectful."
"Just right", but it's a pity that he can never hear that "husband" sound again.
"Is your body feeling strange today?" Wu Xun handed the hot handkerchief to Ji Mingnan and asked worriedly. Seeing that his face looked fine, he felt relieved, sat next to him, put his hand on his hand and checked his pulse.
Seeing that the pulse was relatively stable, he smiled and said, "It's going to be winter soon, you must pay attention, do you hear me?"
Ji Mingnan put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "I obey my wife's order." Seeing Wu Xun leaning on his shoulder, his smile faded slightly. He replayed the scene just now in his mind again and again, holding Wu Xun in his arms.
Xun's hands couldn't help but tighten. He was afraid that the stolen happiness would slip away from him in the next moment.
After staying in the capital for a few days, Ji Mingnan's house was visited by some nobles and nobles every day, either seeking medical treatment or asking for medicine. The residence was almost turned into a pharmacy. Ji Mingnan's health was pretty good these days, and it was rare to find a good person.
The weather was like going for a walk outside. I originally planned to take my two children with me, but who knew that Ji Mingnan, who usually looked like a loving father, would sneak out from the back door like a child with Wu Xun, leaving the two children behind?
at home.
The capital is such a lively place. Regardless of the season, it is as bustling as ever. The streets are filled with shouts, all kinds of gadgets, and many jewelry stalls. When the newly released steamed buns are opened, a puff of white smoke comes out.
wave
As it rose, the people coming and going among them gave Wu Xun a long-lost feeling. She pulled Ji Mingnan to look left and right, as if she was possessed by Ji Mianxi, wanting to see everything. Ji Mingnan was pulled and pampered by her.
He looked at her back indifferently.
"Husband, do you think this looks good? Bring one back to Nuo'er and Xi'er?" Wu Xun picked up a rabbit mask and tried it on his face, "Is it cute?"
Ji Mingnan nodded her head lovingly, "Cute." He picked up a tiger-shaped mask next to him and took a closer look, "I guess Xi'er doesn't like the rabbit in your hand. She prefers tigers. As for Nuo'er,
If you buy it back, he will definitely not wear it."
Wu Xun took off the mask in displeasure and wrinkled his nose playfully, "I don't care, I just like rabbits, so I just bought two rabbit masks." After saying that, he turned around and left. Ji Mingnan put the money on the stall.
He stepped forward to catch up, but he didn't want this scene to fall into someone's eyes.
"Yun Li, stop the car." Song Hanzhuo jumped out of the car and hurriedly walked to the back, but when he looked at the crowd, he saw the face that was engraved in her memory. He was sitting on the carriage just now.
The wind blew up the corner of the car curtain, and he clearly saw that the woman's face when she took off the rabbit mask was exactly the same as his Xun'er, how could it not be the same?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yun Li asked.
"Yun Li, I saw her."
"She?" Yun Li looked at Song Hanzhuo worriedly, "My lord, you may have misunderstood. You have been too tired recently and missed the princess too much."
"No, Yun Li, I really saw her." Song Hanzhuo pointed in the direction of the mask stall, "She was there just now, wearing a rabbit mask, Yun Li, she's back."
Yun Li walked to the mask stall and checked, but saw nothing. He asked the boss again, and the boss said that a couple just walked over there. If they were princesses, how could they be husband and wife?
"Your Majesty, my subordinates asked, it was a couple standing there just now, not the princess." Yun Li looked at Song Hanzhuo worriedly.
