It has been two months since the closure of the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, the emperor is seriously ill and retired from the court, Feng Lingchen and Feng Yelan are in power, and the court disputes are turbulent and unpredictable.

The queen was forbidden to the palace, Feng Lingchen changed her past gentleness, and her methods of doing things gradually became more and more aggressive. Feng Lingchen used to be disgusted with fighting for power, but now he is deeply involved in the bloody battle for succession, and there is no brotherhood.

Feng Lingchen knows that the royal family is weak, if he can't sit on the throne, even if he dies, but those who follow him will face a catastrophe.

The battle between Feng Lingchen and Feng Yelan became more and more intense, there were endless disputes in the court, the imperial city was dying every day, the atmosphere was depressing and gloomy, and the entire imperial city seemed to be shrouded in blood.

Prime Minister's Mansion Meiyuan, although it is spring, Ji Xiamo did not dare to wear too thin, he has been sick for several years and is afraid of cold, if he is invaded by the cold wind, he is afraid that he will have to travel for half a year.

Ji Xia Mo was fiddling with the potted begonias sent by Chu Ling in front of the corridor, Fang Lin Jun came over with a folding fan, looked at Ji Xia Mo who was wearing a plain green brocade shirt and said, "I feel that you have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Where I lost weight, your eyes are poisonous." Ji Xiamo put down the trimming scissors, took out a silk and wiped the dew between his fingers.

"Since the spring is warm, you have to take care of it." Fang Lin Jun helped Ji Xia Mo put on his cloak.

Ji Xiamo followed Fang Lin Jun in the courtyard, the warm sun shining on his body was very comfortable, Ji Xiamo untied his cloak and tie, and relaxed a little. "It's time for the peach blossoms on the shore of Jingyue Lake to bloom, I wrote a post to Qin Yan, how about going to enjoy the flowers tonight?"

"It's all good." Fang Lin Jun said as if he was thinking of something else, and looked at Ji Xia Mo with a sideways face and said, "I haven't seen Master Shengkong for a long time, so it's better to call him to come with him by going out to enjoy the flowers, there are many people and it is lively." ”

"Looking at the moon and enjoying the flowers by the lake is also an elegant thing, he should like it." Ji Xia Mo said with a smile. "In that case, I'll take Shengkong with me."

"Do you want to eat for lunch?" Chu Ling's voice came from the air.

"I made an appointment with Qin Yan on the first floor, and I told the kitchen that there would be no need to prepare lunch." Ji Xia Mo said.

Fang Lin Jun raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Even if you are in the rivers and lakes, you often hear that there are three unique on the first floor of the imperial city, famous wine, beautiful people, fragrant dishes, dragon and tiger fights, fragrant tea, Dongting Biluochun." ”

"The guests on the first floor of the imperial city are either rich or expensive, and the price of food is also very expensive, how can I afford to spend money." Ji Xia Mo smiled slyly.

Fang Lin Jun thought of Ji Xiamo's banquet for Qin Yan, and immediately understood Ji Xiamo's plan. "Obviously, you invited guests to dinner, but it turned out that the banquet guests were paid for money."

"Qin Yan is the commander of the palace internal guards, and he has money in his pocket." Ji Xiamo turned around and went back to the house. "Let's go change our clothes."

Ji Xiamo changed into a dark blue brocade robe, took Jin Wuji, Chu Lingyu and Fang Lin Jun out of the house, and dragged his family to prepare to eat.

During this period of time, the court was in turmoil, and the imperial city was turbulent, and Ji Xiamo had already hidden in the plum garden in order to avoid suspicion and excuse his illness.

Feng Lingchen and Feng Yelan are pinching you to the death, the Prime Minister's Mansion and Ji Xiamo are both fragrant buns, whether they refuse or accept it is troublesome, Ji Xiamo can only hide.

Feng Lingchen's woman's benevolence is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, in Ji Xiamo's opinion, the final winner among the kings is probably Feng Yelan, but Feng Yelan is sensitive, suspicious, indifferent, and affectionate, even if he has the ability to stabilize the country, I am afraid that he is also a murderous tyrant.

Feng Lingchen and Feng Shaojin both belong to the princelings, they are both rare wise men, although the three kings Feng Yelan are resourceful, but Feng Yufei of the same party is a pig teammate, if it is a matter of planning and calculation, Feng Yelan may lose a little.

Ji Xia Mo's eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking about it, Feng Yelan and the crown prince Feng Lingchen were evenly matched, could it be that Feng Yelan still had a hidden strategist behind him?

"Since it's a game, don't think about anything else." Jin Wuji gently rubbed away the frowning between Ji Xia Mo's eyebrows.

Ji Xia Mo gathered his thoughts, and looked up with a smile, "I know." ”

Ji Xiamo came to the first floor, booked a room on the second floor in a low-key manner, chose the food and drinks, and the waiter left, Ji Xiamo poured tea for Fang Lin Jun and smiled, "The fragrant tea you are worried about." ”

Fang Lin Jun took a cup and tasted it, pretending to shake his head, "The taste is indeed far better than ordinary tea, but it is not as fragrant as your Meiyuan's tea." ”

"Just pick your mouth." Ji Xia Mo peeled off the husk and smashed it at Fang Lin Jun. "The tea in Meiyuan is a gift from the palace, and it only produces a few catties every year, and I treasure only half a pack, how can I quench your thirst."

"Good tea should be given to those who know how to drink it, and a layman like me can drink some coarse tea." Fang Lin Jun drank all the tea in the cup, as if he was really drinking tea to quench his thirst.

Ji Xiamo and Chu Ling were happy, and a smile flashed in Jin Wuji's eyes. The meals were served one after another, and at this time, Qin Yan was also led into the house by the waiter.

"It's really time for Commander Qin to come, this meal is still hot when it is just served." Chu Ling's laughter was hearty and teasing.

Qin Yan glanced at Chu Lingyun, and did not argue as before. Ji Xiamo and Fang Lin Jun looked at each other suspiciously, puzzled by Qin Yan's dark expression.

Seeing Qin Yan sit down with a tired face, Ji Xiamo poured tea and handed it to Qin Yan, "Something happened again?" ”

Qin Yan rubbed his eyebrows, and his whole body was full of suppressed tiredness. Silently drank the tea, Qin Yan's voice was slightly hoarse, "The prince asked the emperor to give him a marriage." ”

Ji Xiamo was only stunned for a moment, and then thought about the reason for Qin Yan's decadence, "Sister Xun." ”

Qin Yan drooped his head in discouragement, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed to restrain his anger, "The emperor has allowed, the holy decree has just arrived at the General's Mansion, and the marriage is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to return to the sky." ”

Qin Zhaoqin holds sixty percent of the military power of the dynasty, and if anyone can get his support in the bloody battle, it will be like a tiger with wings.

Qin Zhaoqin watched the kings seize the heir, if Qin Yaxun married Feng Lingchen and his beloved daughter was involved in the seizure, could Qin Zhaoqin still watch coldly?

Feng Lingchen asked the emperor to marry Qin Yaxun to him, is it true love or calculation? But whether it is true love or calculation, the General's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are married, and the General's Mansion is considered to be involved in seizing the heir, Feng Yelan wants to sit on the throne, and he will definitely bring down the General's Mansion first.

The table was full of food and wine, but no one in the room had any appetite.

"Qin Yan, do you want to hear the truth?" Ji Xia Mo said.

Qin Yan looked at Ji Xiamo, Ji Xiamo raised his forehead and sighed, "Bloody battle, I am more optimistic about the three kings." ”

Qin Yan's face turned white in an instant, and Ji Xiamo added tea to the cup and pushed it to Qin Yan, "Sister Xun, you can't get married." ”

"Xia Mo, resisting the decree is a capital crime." Qin Yan's voice trembled, revealing deep powerlessness.

"The three kings are suspicious, if he becomes the emperor, he will slaughter the general's mansion." Qin Yaxun has a hearty personality and dares to love and hate, Ji Xiamo likes her very much. Even if he didn't take the heir, Qin Yaxun's character would not be able to survive in the harem, not to mention the current situation, if he was not careful, he would lose everything.

But Qin Yan is right, resisting the decree is a capital crime, but does Qin Yaxun want to become a victim of imperial politics?

"How could the crown prince suddenly ask the emperor for marriage." Ji Xiamo felt a splitting headache.

"The three kings once mentioned to my father that they wanted to marry my sister, but I didn't expect the prince to suddenly ask for marriage."

"Take the heir, take the heir..."Ji Xia Mo pressed his forehead, his smile sarcastically without the slightest warmth.

Jin Wuji held Ji Xiamo's hand, his deep dark eyes filled with worry. Qin Yan was completely disrupted by the sudden marriage, and said nonsense with a white face, "Or I'll send my sister away." ”

"Do you want the general's mansion to be beheaded?" Jin Wuji said coldly.

Ji Xiamo ran away from marriage at the beginning, first, Qingyi also fled, and second, there was a deal between the emperor and Ji Xiamo. If Qin Yaxun dares to escape from marriage, the general's mansion will definitely be in trouble.

"Don't worry, let me think, let me think about it......" Ji Xiamo drank tea, forced to stabilize his emotions and returned to his senses, thinking about countermeasures.

The food on the table gradually cooled down, Ji Xiamo put down the teacup and ordered Qin Yan in a deep voice, "Qin Yan, you stabilize first and don't panic." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Qin Yan trusted Ji Xiamo very much, and he believed that Ji Xiamo would definitely not harm him.

"I can't guarantee that Sister Xun won't marry the crown prince, I can only do my best to protect the General's Mansion."

Qin Yan opened his mouth to speak, he knew that this might be the best result that Ji Xiamo could do, but he still felt sad when he thought of Qin Yaxun, who had fallen victim to politics.

"Qin Yan, you are the only son of the Qin family, and you are responsible for the survival of the entire Qin family."

"I ...... I know. Qin Yan covered his eyes to hide the tears in his eyes.

Approaching sunset, Ji Xiamo took Jin Wuji out of the house, and when he left the first floor, he saw Rongcheng on the fourth floor.

Ji Xia Mo was a little surprised that Rong Cheng still remembered him, a few years ago it was just a one-sided relationship, not to mention that now his face has changed greatly, and sometimes he feels strange when he faces the mirror.

Ji Xia Mo bowed slightly, and then left the building.

"Who was that guy just now?" Fang Lin Jun asked casually.

"The person in charge of the building, named Rongcheng, had a relationship with him a few years ago." Ji Xia Mo didn't explain much, turned to look at Chu Lingyu and Fang Lin Jun and said, "I didn't let you eat this meal well." ”

"Want to come back later, now let's go back?" Fang Lin Jun smiled and comforted.

"Aren't you going to the shore of Jingyue Lake to see the peach blossoms?" Ji Xia Mo retracted his irritability, and pretended to smile easily. "Let's go, I guess Master Shengkong should have arrived a long time ago."

Fang Lin Jun was a little hesitant, Ji Xiamo had already been helped by Jin Wuji to sit in the carriage, "Don't rub it off, let's go quickly." ”

Fang Lin Jun knew that Qin Yan's matter made Ji Xiamo very tired, Ji Xiamo was weak, and he wanted Ji Xiamo to go back to Meiyuan to rest quickly.

Knowing why Fang Lin Jun hesitated, Ji Xiamo's eyes were resolute and his expression was calm, "I, Ji Xiamo, will be in the imperial city for a day, and I will definitely shield you from the wind and rain." No matter how difficult things are, I will support you, so you don't need to worry. ”

Fang Lin Jun still wanted to speak, but Chu Lingyu directly dragged him into the car, and said with a smile, "Let's go with Xia Mo." ”

Fang Lin Jun shook off Chu Lingyun and glared at him viciously. Jin Wuji sat beside Ji Xiamo in silence, Ji Xiamo gently held Jin Wuji's hand, and the corners of his mouth raised a shallow smile, "Don't always treat me as a child, I have grown up." ”

Jin Wuji looked at Ji Xiamo and felt bitter, he actually wanted to tell Ji Xiamo that he didn't want Momo to grow up, he hoped that Momo could rely on him forever.

"Brother Jin, sometimes you can hide behind me."

“…… Good. ”
