"Ninth Brother ......"

Xia Leling couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the once high-spirited Ninth Brother, but she felt heartache when she thought of what he had done.

Xia Ji finally showed a smile on his face, and quickly put down the puddle and stood up, his hands were like a child who had done something wrong, and smiled easily: "Coming?"

"Brother Jiu. Xia Leling walked up to him and gently picked the weeds in his hair, but Xia Ji shook his body and said with a smile: "It's too dirty......"

But she also stubbornly turned his body, carefully tidied it up little by little, and said, "I will go and beg my father in a moment to let him let you go......!"

"It's useless, Brother Jiu made a big mistake. Xia Ji asked, "Do you believe that Brother Jiu will rebel?"

"Chang'an said that Brother Jiu was forced into desperation because of someone else's trick, so I don't believe it......" Xia Leling said firmly.

"Jiang Chang'an, Jiang Chang'an again. That's it......" The corners of Xia Ji's mouth grinned when he got a satisfactory answer, and he was relieved at this moment, he wanted to roar with indignation in his heart, and wanted to tell the group of people loudly: "See, right?

"Come, come here......" He hurriedly wiped the stone platform where he could sit with the sleeves of his brocade robe, and tore off the corner of the robe and put it on the soft silk cushion for her to sit down.

"Jingling, do you remember, when I was a child, I often went to the Yuehe Palace to find you, and helped you ride on the bodies of those subordinates to climb around the palace, and then you once said that it was uncomfortable to sit like that, so every time Brother Jiu went to look for you, he carried a futon, and you would be comfortable sitting on it, so that later those minions were scared to roll away when they saw the futon in my hand, hahaha......"

Xia Leling looked at him quietly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Xia Ji's smile slowly faded: "Brother Jiu knows, you just don't want me to embarrass them anymore when you say you're uncomfortable, but those people are bullying you, just damn it!"

He suddenly asked, "Jingling, do you hate your mother?"

"Hate? Brother Jiu, why do you want to hate? Although the mother concubine was criticized by countless people, but I don't hate her, I think the mother is more bitter, I heard the grandmother in the palace say that I have a twin brother, is the tenth prince of my father, only born half a pillar of incense later than me, but disappeared that night, and later the mother concubine also died depressed because of this incident. Why did Brother Jiu ask about my mother's concubine?"

Xia Ji smiled extremely happily, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just want to hear it." That...... Did you hear about your brother again?"

"I tried to find it, but there was no news, and they said that it was because I was an ominous person who would only bring bad luck to those around me. She shook her head gloomily, "If I could, I would prefer to be the one who disappeared by me, they all say that mothers are more expensive than children, and if it is me who disappears, the mother may not be ......."

Boom!

Xia Ji flicked his finger on her head and sneered: "Nonsense! You remember, that person never disappeared, he just lived in another way, just in a way that could better protect you." ”

"And he...... It must be bitter, right?" asked Xia Leling.

Suddenly, Xia Ji's eyes were as red as grease, like a fish in his throat, and he lowered his head and turned sideways silently.

"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Leling was about to come forward to take a look, but he was hugged into his arms, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly, only hearing his strange voice.

Xia Ji's voice trembled: "All these years...... It's only you who suffers ......"

Xia Leling smiled, put his chin on his shoulder, twisted twice as if he was a child, and said: "Jingling is not bitter, there is still a ninth brother in the palace, and there are thirteen, you two really don't care about my background, and really treat Jingling as a relative." ”

"Old Thirteen ......"

Xia Ji patted her on the back and said softly: "Go back and tell Jiang Changan for me, he guessed everything correctly, but he was wrong - I had to make a decision in the Sky Shattering Tower, not because I was powerless to deal with the old thirteen, but because I ...... I don't want to see you upset...... I want Xia Qi to understand that his greatest luck is that he chose to take good care of you. ”

If Xia Qi ends up like the crown prince, she must be very sad, right?

......

In the evening, Jiang Changan followed a young eunuch through the palace for half an hour before stopping at a palace in the northwest corner of the palace.

The inner sanctum of the palace was closed, and the people who were waiting for him were already standing in the courtyard.

There is a green bamboo planted in the palace, and there is a hunchbacked old man standing under the green bamboo, as I saw it for the first time, the difference is that this time he did not carry a medicine basket, let alone wear poor and tattered clothes, but a yellow robe, indescribably extravagant, but without the medicine basket, it always feels like something is missing.

Jiang Changan walked up to him, and when he was thinking about it, the eunuch beside him reminded him in a low voice: "Jiang Gongzi, hurry up and salute." ”

Jiang Changan looked at the less than twenty bamboos in front of him and asked, "In the Holy Medicine Court, you said that I could go to the bamboo forest in the northwest corner of the bamboo forest, this is what you called the 'bamboo forest'?"

"Yes, you're smarter than I thought, and you're going to understand sooner than I expected. ”

Jiang Changan said: "I didn't expect that the old man I met when I first arrived at Huangting Lake in Jingzhou was His Majesty Xia Zhouguo. It's just that why did you disguise a 'Shang Dashan' to meet the deceased man?"

The king of a country would disguise himself as a face, and I don't know how many people's jaws will be shocked when he says this?

Jiang Changan didn't salute, and said directly: "Should I call you Shang senior, or His Majesty Emperor Jing?"

The old man smiled when he heard this, waved his hand back and glared at the little eunuch who was about to scold, and said, "You can call it whatever you want, whether it is Jinghuang Xia Xin or Stinky Medicine Basket Shang Dashan, they are all your master's friends." ”

"Then I'll still call you His Majesty Emperor Jing, so as not to mess up the etiquette. Jiang Changan said and saluted.

Xia smiled bitterly: "Your reaction is exactly the same as when your master found out my true identity, and the title he chose is the same, but he is much angrier than you." ”

Jiang Changan sneered: "My good brother has deceived me for a long time, my real identity is still my top boss, and what is even more tragic is that I fell in love with my brother's woman, and anyone will be annoyed." ”

His Majesty, who was at the commanding heights of imperial power, sighed, and had the air of an old man in the twilight of old age, and said infinitely nostalgic: "Shang Dashan and Pang Ershui, one mountain, two rivers and three sheji, what I really didn't expect was Concubine Lan......"

Jiang Changan looked up at the bright moon rising in the starry sky, and said, "The young man doesn't care, the streamer is like an arrow." I don't realize that Shaoguang is changing. Until now, the hereditary moon is full, the flowers are full, and the wine is full. The flat boat wants to relieve the weeping Yang bank, still feast with the same joy, the sun will be scattered, leaning on the orchid, looking at the water far, the sky is far away, and the people are far away. This poem is categorically impossible for my master Pang Ershui to write, I know that old man, it must have been written by His Majesty to Concubine Lan, right?"

Jiang Chang'an said: "You told me that this word was written by my master, but I felt guilty. ”

"Your master has never done anything to be sorry for me, the two of them have never done anything to be sorry for me, I am sorry for them......" Xia Xin's face was melancholy, an emperor supreme above 10,000 people, it was simple to get a woman's body, but he had no way to keep that woman's heart.

Jiang Changan asked, "Please also tell Your Majesty who is the murderer of my master Pang Ershui?"

Xia Xin said: "Didn't you always think that I did it?"

"If it were just His Majesty Emperor Jing, it would be possible to do such a thing, but if Your Majesty has Shang Dashan behind him, he won't. Jiang Changan said firmly.

Xia Xin said: "I have also sent someone to investigate your master's death, but none of them have a result. ”

"I have one more thing to ask you, I am Shang Dashan's business......" Xia Xin smiled, "I think with your wisdom, I shouldn't have just found out, right?
