337. Chapter 337: The Unexpected

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiaoxi, I'm alright, I'm alright. Ji Boming said loudly in surprise, broke free from Leng Xiaoxi's arms, and turned around and walked a few steps.

"Brother-in-law?" Leng Xiaojuan, who was holding the earpiece in her hand, called him in shock when she saw Ji Boming like this.

Ji Boming's Lord Zhenjun will leave, and the news that Lord Zhenjun can leave is like the wind, which has spread into the palace and into the ears of the crown prince Li Minghao.

In the past few days, Li Minghao seems to be safe on the surface, but he is manic in his heart, his father said that he will marry Leng Xiaojuan, Leng Xiaoxi's sister, but how long has it been, why hasn't there been any movement over there?

Could it be that Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi disagree?

And the canonization ceremony set by the father to announce to the world and restore the identity of Ji Boming's prince will come in five days.

It seems that the father is still partial to Ji Boming more than to himself, and the truth that the mother is more expensive than the son seems to be true at all.

However, the more Li Minghao was suspicious, the news that Ji Boming could leave came again, how could this not make him anxious and worried.

Could it be that my father put a smoke bomb on himself before, just to confuse himself and make himself wait like a fool to be deposed and not take action?

As the saying goes: Qin Hui still has a few friends, and his prince Li Minghao is of course no exception.

Li Minghao's faction also has a lot of die-hard friends, and even a few ministers in the court have a good relationship with him in private.

Li Minghao naturally knew that these ministers naturally looked at him for the sake of the future heir to the throne.

Just as Li Minghao was meditating, the family of the Prince's Mansion came in to report.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Bi Shun, than the Lord asks to see. ”

Bi Shun, one of Wen Xuanru's subordinates before, when the emperor beheaded more than 100 members of the Wen family, it was this Bi Shun who took people to handle this matter.

Therefore, Li Minghao is resistant to this sworn friend before Wen Xuanru and the loyal minister before the current emperor, and it can even be said that he is full of hatred.

"What is he doing here? Li Minghao flatly refused.

When the family saw Li Minghao like this, he quickly took out a jade pendant from his body, stepped forward and handed it to Li Minghao with both hands.

"Prince, then Bi Shun said, if you see this jade pendant, you will definitely meet him. ”

Hearing this, Li Minghao's deep and dark eyes fell on the jade pendant that was covered in blood in the hand of the family.

This is a piece of bloodstone jade pendant, which is the most familiar to Li Minghao.

This jade pendant has accompanied his mother's life, and this jade pendant is worth a lot of jade pendant, which Wen Xuanru wore on Wen Ji's neck at the canonization ceremony when Wen Ji became the queen.

At the queen's canonization ceremony that day, Li Minghao was only four years old and didn't remember much.

However, this incident was firmly engraved in his young heart.

He remembered that the sun that day was very poisonous and bright, and when the blood-like bloodstone jade pendant hung on the queen mother's neck, it was very bright and dazzling, with a frightening poignancy.

He still clearly remembers that when he was young, he was often held in the arms of the queen mother, sitting on the lap of the queen mother, he reached out to play with this jade pendant, and the queen mother said to him at that time.

"The emperor, if the queen mother is a hundred years later, she will definitely give this jade pendant to the emperor, at that time, if the emperor sees this jade pendant, it will be like seeing the queen mother, if the mother is too late to hand over this jade pendant to the emperor, then the person who gave this jade pendant must be the most trustworthy person of the queen mother. ”

Now, this piece of bloodstone, which can be said to have accompanied the glory of the queen mother's life, is placed in front of him, and it cannot but be said to be a wake-up call and a symbol of shame for him.

At the same time, he also made him understand that Bi Shun, who asked to see him, was the person sent by his mother to assist him.

"Invite him in. ”

The family put down the bloodstone and withdrew.

After a moment's effort, Bi Shun walked in with a hunched body.

Bi Shun was a champion twenty years ago, and he devoted himself to the miscellaneous work that Wen Xuanru did at that time as the governor of the Eight Mansions.

Later, Wen Xuanru saw that he was clever and outstanding, first accepted him as an apprentice, and then strongly recommended him to become a tribute student.

In ancient times, the ministers generally recommended to the emperor that this person could provoke a malleable person who could provoke the beam in the future.

At the beginning, Li Shenghong just listened to Wen Xuanru's recommendation, and after carefully observing Bi Shun, he thought that he was indeed smart, so he kept him by his side.

However, more than ten years have passed, and Wen Xuanru has been promoted again and again, but for some reason, he has been suppressing Bi Shun, which is to hinder his promotion.

This matter has always been the focus of the ministers' secret discussions, and even the emperor has not seen through why he, as a disciple of Wen Xuanru, has been suppressed by Wen Xuanru like this.

Later, when Ji Boming's life experience gradually became known, it was Bi Shun who was the first to stand up and testify against the Wen family's misdeeds, and it was he who personally took the first-class Imperial Forest Army to copy Wen Xuanru's home.

And now......

When he was tall, with a square face and a pair of big eyes, he was less than forty years old, standing in front of Li Minghao.

Li Minghao's dark eyes narrowed, looking at him in extreme danger.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is above, please bow to the old minister. Bi Shun entered the door and immediately knelt in front of Li Minghao.

"Bi Shun, please get up. Li Minghao looked at the one in front of him expressionlessly, Bi Shun, who he usually didn't look at, didn't quite understand in his heart why this jade pendant was handed over to him by the queen mother.

Bi Shun stood up and sat in the position designated by Li Minghao for him to sit, he groaned for a while, looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister is your mother's best friend during her lifetime. ”

"Best friend?" Li Minghao's dark eyes flashed, and his brows furrowed, secretly wondering, how could the queen mother be close friends with Bi Shun, this matter is still so funny in his ears now.

You know, this Bi Shun is still alone, and he has not married, he is a widower and actually said to himself, he and his mother are close friends, what does he mean by this?

What is he implying to the king? Is he declaring to the king that his relationship with the queen mother is extraordinary?

Thinking like this, Li Minghao's black eyes became more and more gloomy.

However, Bi Shun, who was sitting at the bottom, saw Li Minghao's face full of displeasure, and his heart tightened.

Obviously, the one sitting above was the biological son of his Bi Shun's relatives, but he didn't dare to come forward to recognize him.

This is also the reason why Wen Xuanru has been suppressing and not letting him come out for so many years.

At the beginning, Wen Ji, who was not married at that time, and Bi Shun, who secretly fell in love with her, crossed the thunder pool, and after Wen Xuanru knew about it, Wen Xuanru, who was furious, immediately killed Bi Shun with his own hands.

It was Wen Ji who knelt in front of Wen Xuanru and begged Wen Xuanru bitterly, if he let Bi Shun go and no longer pursue it, she promised Wen Xuanru to marry into the palace, and from then on she obeyed her father's teachings, and she would do whatever her father asked him to do.

Wen Ji took this as an exchange condition, and Wen Xuanru naturally agreed, but he gave them three chapters of the law, that is, Wen Ji was never allowed to meet Bi Shun again, and he had an affair.

Immediately, Wen Ji and Bi Shun all agreed to Wen Xuanru's conditions.

In this way, Wen Ji married Li Shenghong and became a talented person by the emperor's side.

However, how can young men and women with emotions restrain that strong emotion, one day after Wen Ji married into the palace, the two of them were living on a quiet river embankment... At the time of the meeting, he was bumped into by Wei Jie, who was pregnant and came out to wander.

Actually, although Wei Jie saw the two of them staying together, she didn't think much about it. Wei Jie thought that although the two of them were not brothers and sisters, they were also brothers and sisters, and it was not a big deal for the two of them to avoid talking to others for a while.

However, when Wei Jie thought so, Wen Ji was scared to death, she was afraid that Wei Jie would tell the emperor about it, and then things would be unimaginable.

However, Wen Ji waited for a while, but there was no reaction from the emperor's side, and Wen Ji's hanging heart fell.

However, what happened happened after all, Wei Jie has always been like a thorn hidden in Wen Ji's heart, she is afraid at any time, this thorn comes out.

However, at this moment, Wen Ji found out that she was pregnant, and she was not sure whether the child she was carrying in her belly was Bi Shun's or the emperor's.

Frightened, she told Wen Xuanru about this matter, and immediately, Wen Xuanru decided to let Wen Ji kill Wei Jie.

In this way, the rear position is vacant, and Wen Ji is the second person who is pregnant with the emperor's blood.

No matter who this child is, the ambitious Wen Xuanru wants the child born to his daughter to be the eldest son of the emperor.

Most of the princes of previous dynasties have set up the eldest son as the crown prince, so Wei Jie has become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the Wen family.

This led to Wen Ji's plan to exchange the skinned tanuki for Ji Boming's affairs.

In addition to Wei Jie, the next step is to verify who the child in Wen Ji's belly is.

Pregnant in October, Wen Ji gave birth, but when the child landed, Wen Ji recognized it at a glance, this child was not born to the emperor, Li Minghao when he was born, and he didn't look like Bi Shun.

It's just that no one in the palace has ever doubted this child, only Bi Shun knows it in his heart.

Therefore, in order to be loyal to the Wen family, Bi Shun has never been interested in any woman.

Bi Shun's silence also made Wen Xuanru not kill him in the end.

And when Ji Boming's life experience was exposed, the Wen family felt that the general trend had gone, so the night before Wen Ji died, he summoned Bi Shun.

She took out this jade pendant, handed it to Bi Shun with her own hands, and instructed her to behave in front of the emperor in this way, so that the purpose was to let him make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor, and hide it deeply, the purpose was to protect Li Minghao and protect their son.
