Ji Xiamo's current body is like a fragile carved product, which can't withstand bumps. During this time, because of the investigation of the case, Ji Xiamo was holding on to it, and the tense nerves at the end of the case were relaxed, and Ji Xiamo fell ill.

After sleeping for two whole days, Ji Xiamo smelled the fragrance of medicine all over the house when he woke up, Jin Wuji stayed beside him silently, and when he saw Ji Xiamo wake up, the haze in his eyes finally dissipated.

Ji Xiamo leaned on the soft pillow and drank the medicine, Jin Wuji quickly handed over the dates, Ji Xiamo frowned and bit a little, barely the ninja didn't vomit.

Jin Wuji came to warm the tea and fed it to Ji Xiamo, and comforted Ji Xiamo along his back, "Qin Yan sent some lotus seed cakes, I'll give them to you to eat." ”

"I don't have an appetite for a while." Ji Xiamo leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes, his weak appearance seemed to be able to dissipate with the wind at any time. "The case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden is closed, how did the emperor judge and deal with it."

"Gao Yu was sentenced to Ling Chi, the queen was imprisoned in the dormitory, and Fengyin handed over Concubine Shu to act as the queen." Fang Lin Jun told Ji Xiamo the news he had obtained recently. "The queen's palace servants were all executed, and the crown prince Feng Lingchen interceded for his mother, and he is still kneeling outside the emperor's palace."

Hearing Feng Lingchen's news, Ji Xia Mo paused. If Feng Lingchen is wiser, it is best to protect himself at this time, otherwise the emperor's anger will inevitably anger him. But Feng Lingchen is filial piety and attaches great importance to feelings, how can he abandon his biological mother.

Recalling the first time I saw the palace when I was young, the humble gentleman was as gentle as jade. Talking about poetry and songs under the peach blossom tree on the shore of Jingyue Lake in the south of the city, the trance is as hazy as a dream in the previous life.

After this incident, his former relationship with Feng Lingchen was severed. Ji Xiamo sighed in a low voice.

"Feng Lingchen will be implicated in the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, and the emperor's condition will worsen, and the court will have another bloody storm."

"Now that the case is solved, leave and go home as soon as possible." Jin Wuji bluntly changed the subject.

Ji Xia Mo frowned and rubbed his forehead to relieve the pain in his head. "I'll ask for it later."

Ji Xiamo asked to leave the palace, and the emperor retired from the palace to serve, holding on to the pain and chatting privately with Ji Xiamo. Looking at the exhausted emperor, Ji Xiamo felt a little pity for him.

The Emperor covered his mouth and coughed violently, the corners of his mouth overflowing with a dull scarlet color. Ji Xia Mo approached and helped the emperor up, "Your Majesty, rest." ”

"I know that time is short, so don't lie to me like them." The emperor drank saliva to dissipate the taste of blood in his mouth, and looked at Ji Xia Mo with gloomy eyes. "Yude told me about Chenzhou, and I know that you practice the magic of Qimen Dunjia."

Ji Xiamo's expression stiffened slightly, and the emperor held Ji Xiamo's hand, like a kind father, "My life is about to end, the court is chaotic, and the kings are secretly fighting, what does Xia Mo think of my sons?" ”

Ji Xia Mo wanted to get up, but the emperor motioned for him to sit, "Just say it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Ji Xiamo hesitated for a moment, relaxed his guard slightly, and tried his best to organize his words. "The prince has both virtue and integrity, loyalty and filial piety, the three kings are calm and wise, the five kings are talented, happy and hateful, and the six kings dare to say and dare to be righteous and thin."

Ji Xiamo's words were good, but he also secretly said that Feng Lingchen didn't like power, and it might be difficult to sit on the throne. Feng Yelan is ambitious and indifferent and ruthless, the six kings are like children who have no calculations, and the five kings do not want to be restrained, and prefer the unrestrained rivers and lakes.

Ji Xiamo originally wanted to mention the four kings Feng Yishuang, but when he thought that Feng Yishuang's legs were useless, and very few people in the court knew about him, I was afraid that the emperor had no impression at all.

The emperor pondered Ji Xiamo's words, stared at Ji Xiamo and was silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xia Mo thinks that these sons of mine, who can take on the big responsibility in the end." ”

Ji Xia Mo felt a chill in his heart, and his expression pretended to be panicked and got up and knelt down, "Xia Mo talks about the kings in vain, and I hope that the emperor will forgive him." ”

"I promise to forgive you." The emperor wanted Ji Xiamo to answer the question, but Ji Xiamo knelt silently, and the emperor retracted his gaze and sighed helplessly.

The emperor looked at the gauze tent for a long time, took out the brocade box under the pillow and handed it to Ji Xiamo. Ji Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, and respectfully took the brocade box.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Ji Xia Mo tentatively opened the brocade box, and when he saw the contents of the box, his pupils instantly tightened, and he quickly closed the brocade box again. "The Emperor's ......"

"I know that you are a powerful and clever man, if I can use you as a strategist......"

"Xia Mo swears by the ancestral soul of the Ji family that he will never get involved in the court faction, and the Ji family is only loyal to the emperor." Ji Xiamo was shocked by the emperor's words, and he couldn't stop the emperor with respect and humility.

"That's the best." The emperor's gaze fell on the brocade box in Ji Xiamo's hand. "You keep this brocade box secretly, not an order but a request. In the future, no matter who wins or loses, he will be my son, so save it if you can. ”

Ji Xia Mo was holding the brocade box like a hot potato, but he couldn't disobey the emperor's order, so he could only thank him. "Yes."

Ji Xiamo left the emperor's dormitory with a heavy expression, and the kings kneeling outside the hall looked at Ji Xiamo, their eyes fell on the brocade box in Ji Xiamo's hand, and a dark light of unknown meaning flashed in their eyes.

Ji Xia Mo staggered the kings in front of the hall and followed Jin Wuji to leave. found Qin Yan and took Chu Lingyu and Fang Lin Jun to sit in the carriage leaving the palace.

Looking at the palace outside the car curtain, the sorrow between Ji Xiamo's eyebrows did not dissipate, and Fang Lin Jun saw that Ji Xiamo had something on his mind, so he asked out loud, "What did the emperor tell you in the dormitory just now?" ”

"It's fine." The corners of Ji Xiamo's mouth raised a wry smile. "Just ask me who is suitable to be emperor."

Chu Lingyun and Fang Lin Jun looked at each other, and Jin Wuji twisted his eyebrows and held Ji Xiamo's hand. Ji Xiamo leaned on Jin Wuji and said, "Don't worry, I'm thinking about something else." ”

"Although the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Royal Garden has been concluded, there are still doubts that have not yet been clarified." Ji Xia Mo said. "Gao Yu has served the queen for many years, sinister and cunning, he actually used the dagger given by the emperor to kill Ruyue, which is too careless."

"And those cats, who were so shocked that Concubine Mei should be killed directly after giving birth, how were they taken away from the queen's bedroom by Ruyue, and they were not found."

"I always felt that things were far from being as simple as we thought." Ji Xiamo couldn't think of a reason, and his head was swollen and uncomfortable, "The case went so smoothly, it was like someone was behind it." ”

"Don't think about it." Chu Ling said with a smile. "Gao Yu has confessed to the crime, what you have to do now is to recover well."

Jin Wuji gently helped Ji Xiamo massage his forehead, and Ji Xiamo leaned on Jin Wuji and fell asleep. Intuition told Ji Xia Mo that there must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind the female corpse case of the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden.

The deserted queen's bedroom, once rich and luxurious, is now only sad. The people who served in the palace were all killed by the emperor, and then looking at the huge palace, it was even more miserable than the cold palace.

The queen sat in the cold dormitory in plain clothes, her face pale but still proud. She is ruthless and sits in her current position, although she is imprisoned by the emperor, but as long as she is still the queen and Feng Lingchen is still the prince, she has not lost.

The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the eunuch who delivered the meal came in, placed the turbid mash coarse rice, and asked the queen to dine sideways.

The queen's eyes looked out of the dormitory, and her expression was indifferent, as if she hadn't heard. The corner of the eunuch's eyes swept outside, and after making sure that there were no guards listening, he approached the queen and whispered, "The Lord Protector instructed the servant to tell Niangniang that he would assist His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The queen's eyes flashed, and she looked at the eunuch with an unpredictable expression. "Tell Gongsun Rui that everything has nothing to do with him, and this palace will bear everything."

"Mother's smart." The eunuch smiled at the corner of his mouth and bent down to retreat from the dormitory.

Seeing that the dormitory was closed again, the queen clenched her fists, and her palms were pinched by sharp nails to spill blood.

As long as Achen can ascend to the throne, the suffering she has suffered now will be worth it. Concubine Shugui, Concubine Mei, these sluts, when she becomes the queen mother, she will definitely make these sluts worse than death!

Ji Xia Mo left the palace and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ji Ye's tense nerves finally relaxed. Ji Xiamo only told Ji Ye that the case had been solved, but he concealed the danger, lest Ji Ye be worried.

Ji Yikui was making a fuss about playing with Ji Xiamo, Ji Ye thought that Ji Xiamo was tired for several days, so he forcibly took Ji Yikui away and let Ji Xiamo have a good rest.

Ji Xia Mo was still tired after sleeping for two days in a row, and after Ji Ye left, he put the chessboard with Fang Lin Jun. There was no unexpected handicap loss, Fang Lin Jun covered his face and smiled, "It is said that the prime minister's mansion Ji Changgongzi is talented, but in the face of the chessboard, he is like elm." ”

Ji Xiamo threw away the chess pieces, got up and beckoned to Lou Yin in Meiyuan, "Lou Yin, help me torture him to death." ”

Lou Yin glanced at Ji Xiamo, and wanted to turn around and leave directly, but seeing the grievances in Ji Xiamo's eyes, he just hesitated for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he had already sat down in front of the chessboard.

Fang Lin Jun wanted to get up and run away, Ji Xia Mo dragged Fang Lin Jun to prevent him from running, "You play against Lou Yin, if you can win him, I will obey you." ”

Fang Lin Jun looked at Lou Yin's indifferent eyes and wanted to cry without tears, Lou Yin's expression was cold, and the chess pieces had fallen, Fang Lin Jun had no choice but to fight hard.

Ji Xiamo squatted in front of the chessboard and watched for a while, got up and walked to the desk in front of the window, where Jin Wuji was helping Ji Xiamo test the ink. Ji Xia Mo sniffed the faint fragrance of ink, looked at the rice paper with his eyes and said, "This is the new ink sent by King Zhongyi, and it is said that it is still a limited edition." ”

"It's really a rare good ink." Jin Wuji put pen to paper.

Ji Xiamo silently recited the poems written by Jin Wuji, and a teasing smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "I know that you are a swordsman, it is rare that you can still hold a pen with your hand holding a sword, this handwriting is far better than mine." ”

"When I was younger, my mother used to teach me how to write." Jin Wuji said.

"With these good inks, you can help me write more, and I will copy them at my leisure."

Jin Wuji's eyes were a little embarrassed, and he held the pen for a long time, "My words are not the best." ”

"You're not a master of calligraphy, but I like your handwriting." Ji Xia Mo sat down in front of the case, picked up the oranges on the plate and held them in his sleeves. "Write, I'll peel oranges for you to eat."

Jin Wuji hesitated to re-write, and Ji Xiamo leaned against the table and looked at Jin Wuji. Chu Lingyu carried Lamei into the house full of cold, found a beautiful blue and white porcelain vase in the house, and carefully arranged the flowers like a pruning master.

"It's all warm in early spring, where did you fold the plum." Ji Xia Mo was puzzled.

"I just passed by the Three Kings' Mansion and saw that the plum blossoms were beautiful, so I folded some to prepare, and it looked good in the house." Chu Ling said with a ghostly smile.

"You ran to the Three Kings' Mansion to be a thief, do you still want your life if you are caught?" Ji Xia Mo frowned.

"If you talk about light skills in the rivers and lakes, except for Jin Wuji and Jiang Fei, who can beat me." Chu Lingyun divided Lamei into two parts and prepared to give them to Ji Xiamo and Fang Lin Jun. "You don't allow me to break the plum blossoms in the courtyard, or I will be a thief?"

"As far as you owe it, I'm afraid that the plum blossoms in the plum garden will harm you." Ji Xia Mo pursed his lips and sneered.

"I lost." Fang Lin Jun hung his shoulders in discouragement. Ji Xia Mo followed the prestige, and saw that the outcome of the chessboard played by Fang Lin Jun and Lou Yin had already been decided.

"Sure enough." Fang Lin Jun looked at Ji Xiamo with resentment. "The ease when I played against you just now was not that I was too strong, but that you were too weak."

Ji Xia Mo "......" bastard Fang Lin Jun!

The faint aura fluctuation lingered, Ji Xia Mo suddenly restrained his smile, and Lou Yin had already left the house when he felt it, standing in front of the porch and looking in the direction of the outside of the house.

Ji Xia Mo walked out of the room, following the gradually clear aura, and the smile that had been gathered slowly relaxed. "It's a familiar breath."

"Shengkong." Jin Wou-Ki.
