But how could they fall for this! Even if Empress Dowager Han's words are true, they are not that kind of person. What's more, Empress Dowager Han just wanted to use them.

Empress Dowager Han did not clearly say that she fancied Xuan'er as the heir, which left her a way back. said that it is difficult for Emperor Longqing to have children, but in fact, in the heart of the Empress Dowager Han, there is still hope.

Even later, the Empress Dowager Han was forced by the situation to choose Xuan'er as the heir to the throne. Empress Dowager Han will only use Xuan'er as an alternative, a shield. Once there is a concubine in the harem who is pregnant~ pregnant, Xuan'er is not only in jeopardy, but also more likely to die.

How could Ji Xiaotang let Xuan'er suffer such grievances, how could she push her child into such a trap.

She and Qin Zhen could take risks, but they didn't want Xuan'er to take even a little risk.

And in this matter, Qin Zhen obviously had the same thoughts as him.

"However, what should be done is still to be done." Qin Zhen said to Ji Xiaotang.

As for who to watch out for and how to watch out for it, Qin Zhen didn't need to explain it at all.

"Moreover, the drama that should be done must also be done." Ji Xiaotang also said.

Qin Zhen smiled and turned his head.

……

The next day, Qin Zhen went to the court early, and Ji Xiaotang ordered someone to prepare the carriage and horse after breakfast, while asking Mama Cheng to find plain clothes to change.

When the car was ready to stop, Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er to sit in the carriage, and the carriage sat on Mama Cheng, the nurse, Jin'er, Xiu'er and others, echoing back and forth. From the palace entourage to the Xinhua Hall.

Ji Xiaolian is gone, although it has caused an uproar in the palace~ waves, it will inevitably have an impact on Xinhuatang. Ji Xiaolian is the daughter of the Ji family after all. There is no mourning hall for Ji Xiaolian in the palace. so that Ji Xiaotang couldn't even worship. Therefore, Ji Xiaotang came to Xinhuatang the day after entering the palace, on the one hand, to worship Ji Xiaolian, and on the other hand, to appease his family.

The carriage still stopped in front of the second gate of Xinhua Hall, and Mrs. Ji and the others were already waiting in front of the shadow wall. Ji Xiaotang got out of the car, and everyone saluted each other. After a little greeting, I went to Xuanhua Hall.

When they arrived at Xuanhua Hall, everyone officially greeted again. Then they sat down.

Ji Xiaotang sat on the kang, his eyes flashed on the faces of everyone in the house, no one in the house wore filial piety, but everyone wore plain clothes. Most of the gold ornaments on his head were replaced by plain silver. Now. Almost everyone in the Ji family gathered here. Coincidentally, Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin also came back today.

The only thing missing is Master Ji.

“…… This incident hit him very hard. Second Master Ji told Ji Xiaotang in a deep voice that Master Ji was recuperating in bed, so he was not here.

Ji Xiaotang nodded in understanding.

The death of Ji Xiaolian's mother and son was a heavy blow to Master Ji. Subsequently, the palace was sloppy and sloppy about the funeral. It is the second blow to Master Ji. And in the end, he was reprimanded in the court. and was kicked out of the court, and was almost dismissed again, which gave Master Ji an almost fatal blow.

Since that day, Master Ji has been sick and has not gotten up these days.

“…… It was inconvenient to go out two days ago, but today I was free, and I came immediately. I brought the imperial physician from the palace, and I also brought some medicinal herbs, hoping to be able to use them. ”

"It's a good idea to think about it." Second Master Ji bowed his head and was very satisfied with Ji Xiaotang's arrangement.

Zhou Nianhong, Ji Xiaomu, Yang, Ji Xiaoxue and Ji Xiaoqin all hurriedly stood up and saluted Ji Xiaotang again to thank him.

The imperial doctor was outside, so Ji Xiaomu led him to Master Ji's residence to diagnose Master Ji's pulse, and Zhou Nianhong and Yang took Ji Xiaoxue and Ji Xiaoqin to take care of Master Ji.

When Ji Xiaoyun saw these people gone, she looked left and right, but couldn't help but ask Ji Xiaotang: "How did this happen?" Will our family ......?"

"Sister, don't worry." Ji Xiaotang knew what Ji Xiaoyun was worried about.

Regarding Ji Xiaoyun's true ~ appearance of pregnancy, Ji Xiaoyun has long known. It's just that Ji Xiaolian died suddenly like this, and Master Ji was humiliated in the court again, Ji Xiaoyun was very worried that this matter would affect Xinhuatang.

Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaoyun that this matter is completely over for Xinhuatang, and it will not affect Shunyi Bofu.

Ji Xiaoyun was relieved at this time.

After a while, Ji Xiaomu came back.

The imperial doctor of the palace has already seen the pulse of Master Ji, and most of Master Ji's symptoms are heart fire blockage, coupled with his addiction to food and fat for many years, all of his brains have a seizure, it is heart disease and real disease, which is very tricky. However, it is not a fatal symptom, as long as Master Ji can relax his heart, usually eat lightly, and on holidays, he can always be well adjusted.

The imperial doctor of the palace prescribed medicine, and Ji Xiaomu had already sent someone to buy medicine.

The reason why Ji Xiaomu rushed back in a hurry was, on the one hand, to report Master Ji's illness to Ji Xiaotang, so that Ji Xiaotang could feel at ease. On the other hand, he knew that Ji Xiaotang must have something important to discuss when he came this time. And he also has many things that he doesn't understand, and he hopes to get answers from Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang knew about Master Ji's condition, and he was really relieved.

"Others don't know what's going on, but our family does. Why didn't you stop the uncle and let him ...... Provoked this humiliation! Ji Xiaotang's words were slightly reproachful.

If Master Ji didn't come out in the court, he thought that the palace was sloppy about Ji Xiaolian's funeral, and said how he wanted, he wouldn't give Empress Dowager Han a chance to attack him.

Empress Dowager Han attacked Master Ji, but in fact, she also slapped Xinhuatang in the face.

And Master Ji has been an official for many years, but he is very stupid in the matter of Ji Xiaolian. If he does something like that in the palace, he should see that something is wrong. At such a time, a smart man can't dodge, but he crashes head-on.

Of course, Master Ji is not a stupid person, in the final analysis, it is because of Li Lingzhi's faintness. But Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaomu should stop Master Ji.

"I was negligent." Ji Er's face was ashamed, and he said first. "I had already persuaded him the day before, and he agreed. But the next day, he didn't care about the folds on the ground. I was also shocked on the spot. ”

"It's not the second uncle's negligence, it's my negligence." Ji Xiaomu hurriedly followed, and the shame and regret on his face were even heavier.

Master Ji was only kicked out of the hall that day, but not by the court staff, in fact, thanks to the presence of Second Master Ji. When Second Master Ji saw that Master Ji handed over the fold and said something like that, he knew that things were going to be bad. He couldn't leave Master Ji alone. Immediately, at the risk of being implicated and angry, he stepped forward to speak to Master Ji.

It was the sentence of the second master Ji, and the old man Ji was overly sad. The person was a little confused and saved, and saved the life of Master Ji.

Ji Xiaomu was not in the court at that time, but he knew this very well.

"Thanks to the second uncle, he saved his father's life. It was the father who insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to anyone's advice. And I was deceived by my father. I don't know that he secretly wrote the excerpt. Ji Xiaomu regretted and was afraid.

Seeing that Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu rushed to put the responsibility on their shoulders. Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about the past." Ji Xiaotang's meaning is to turn this page over. It's her usual style, and she never gets caught up in things that don't help. "It's just that the uncle will stay away from the court in the future."

This is the result of Ji Xiaotang's comprehensive consideration.

First of all, in the handling of this matter, Master Ji has completely exposed his weaknesses, and the officialdom over the years has almost been in vain. He is no longer fit to continue to be an official. Because he continued to be an official. Not only is it not good for yourself, but it will also harm your family.

Secondly. Ji Xiaolian's mother and son are dead, and Empress Dowager Han's arrangements for the funeral have revealed some information. Ji Xiaolian's mother's family, that is, the Ji family of Xinhuatang, always has to pay some price for this.

Master Ji resigned and stayed away from officialdom from then on, which was also able to calm the anger in the palace to a certain extent.

It's just that Master Ji resigned, which actually minimized Xinhuatang's losses. If it weren't for the protection and support of King An's Mansion, Ji Xiaolian's matter, even if it would not destroy the Ji family's full family, the descendants of the Ji family would have no chance to have a career from now on.

Ji Xiaotang's words decided the fate of Master Ji in the future.

Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaomu both nodded happily, in fact, they were also thinking about this matter, and they could hardly agree with Ji Xiaotang's decision.

“…… When my father is well up, he will enjoy happiness at home in the future. Or, he likes I Ching Feng Shui, and he can also travel around the mountains and rivers, accompanied by his stepmother, as long as his father wants to open it, the second half of his life will be a good life. Ji Xiaomu said.

"Big brother is very sensible, good." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Ji Xiaomu appreciatively, and was a little happy in his heart. Although Master Ji is confused, it is rare that Ji Xiaomu and Yang are both people who understand.

"However, what is going on in this palace, and why, I don't understand?" Subsequently, Ji Xiaomu finally asked the question in his heart.

Second Master Ji also looked at Ji Xiaotang, waiting for her answer. Ji Xiaomu's question is also what he wants to ask.

Qin Lin wanted to use Ji Xiaolian's matter to attack the Empress Dowager Han, but before the incident, Ji Xiaotang had secretly informed Second Master Ji. But these days, Second Master Ji didn't see Qin Lin make any moves, but the palace was so upside down, Second Master Ji faintly guessed the true ~ phase of the matter, but he needed Ji Xiaotang to confirm it.

"Daddy's guess is good......"

Qin Lin did do a lot of actions in secret, but before he could uncover the matter, Empress Dowager Han discovered the clue and took a series of actions to eliminate it.

That's right, this wind ~ wave in the palace is essentially murder, and the culprit is the Empress Dowager Han.

"I see." There was a look of compassion on the face of the second master Ji.

Ji Xiaomu burst into tears and raised his hand to cover his face.

"Xiaolian, she ...... She still couldn't escape death. ”

On this day, in fact, after knowing that Ji Xiaolian was not pregnant with Emperor Longqing's child, Ji Xiaomu had long expected that there would be such a day. No matter which child is dead or alive, Ji Xiaolian can't escape death after all.

But after all, they are brother and sister, knowing that the result will be like this, he will inevitably have a trace of luck: perhaps, Ji Xiaolian can survive.

"It's clean, too." After a while, Ji Xiaomu raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve. "If only I could stop Xiaolian from entering the palace in the first place!"

And in this world, there are no ifs.

Ji Xiaolian's tragedy seems to have been caused by entering the palace, but the root cause is determined by her temperament. That was when the fraud case was reopened and the Yang family was liquidated. At that time, it was too late for the Ji family to cultivate obscurity, so how could they drill forward again.

Moreover, at that time, Mrs. Ji had just died.

Ji Xiaolian not only couldn't see the overall situation clearly, but even refused to take care of her mother's filial piety. It is such a mindset that makes her dizzy and desperate to take risks that makes her embark on the desperate road she is now.

"Big brother, can you go to the grave of the big sister to pay respects? It is inconvenient for me to go out of the city to worship, so I can only wait for the opportunity. I don't know if there is a mourning hall for the eldest sister at home? Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Xiaomu.

“…… I've already taken your sister-in-law to worship. Ji Xiaomu was ashamed and moved, "Xiaolian caused a big disaster for the family, thanks to Xiaotang's maintenance, she can keep the family safe." Xiaotang doesn't blame her, she still wants to worship her, she knows it, and she is ashamed and grateful. ”

Ji Xiaomu told Ji Xiaotang that Ji Xiaolian was a married girl after all, and there was no reason to set up a mourning hall for her in Xinhua Hall. However, the palace was too hasty with Ji Xiaolian's funeral.

No matter what Ji Xiaolian is, she is always his own sister.

Therefore, Ji Xiaomu still made Ji Xiaolian's token for Ji Xiaolian, planning to burn incense and spend more than three notoginseng.

“…… Then it was sent outside the city to be burned. Her death is disgraceful, the elders in the family are still in the hall, it is my selfishness, I already know that it is inappropriate, so I will remove it. Ji Xiaomu burst into tears again as he spoke.

After all, he is still a soft-hearted and affectionate man.

"Withdraw what, when you do this, your grandmother, me and your aunt don't know? Your aunt is in charge of the feed, what can you hide from her in this family? And you're not the one to hide! Second Master Ji said hurriedly.

It turned out that Ji Xiaomu set up a token for Ji Xiaolian and burned incense excessively, and the family had known about it for a long time. No one mentioned this matter, which meant that Ji Xiaomu acquiesced to doing so.

Ji Xiaomu became more and more ashamed and grateful.

"It's all my willfulness, grandmother, second uncle and aunt are kind, I should have reported it to my grandmother, second uncle and aunt a long time ago." Ji Xiaomu knelt down.

Second Master Ji got up hurriedly and helped Ji Xiaomu up.

"Xiaolian's matter, aren't you sad when we are us? That's the blood and blood of our Ji family, a living person, how old is she. ”

Man is dead, and all things are empty. Even if Ji Xiaolian made Zhi faint and did something that harmed the family, she almost made Xinhuatang lose her mouth. However, now Xinhuatang is unharmed, but Ji Xiaolian has died.

Everyone no longer talked about Ji Xiaolian's fault, but lamented that she died at a young age. (To be continued.) )
