When the old man of Tianji left, he instructed him to pay attention to the situation of the blood demon disease on his body at any time, and if there was anything abnormal, he would not have time to rush back to Penglai Island, so he would go to Master Kongchen first.

Dugu Chi Yan's face was obviously a little unsightly, it was obvious that he was not very willing to go to Master Kongchen, and the old man of Tianji was also very helpless, so he could only tell Ji Ruhuan once.

The two stayed in the courtyard for a long time, and returned to the Xianwang Mansion in the evening, and the three princes were already waiting for them in the Xianwang Mansion.

When Ji Ruhuan saw him, he said unceremoniously, "Didn't you want to avoid it and don't keep running to us? ”

The third prince responded, "I have something to do to find Jiu and King Xian, besides, you are all blatantly saving the face of the imperial brother, and you still care if the imperial brother suspects you?"

The corners of Ji Ruhuan's mouth twitched slightly, but she had nothing to refute, as if she was almost stiff if she had no doubts.

Thinking about Ji Ruhuan and couldn't help sighing, I thought that if I brought down the four princes and saved the prince, this Ming would be able to stop, who knew that the prince they worked so hard to save would bite them back when they sat in a high position?

The group went directly to the study, and Dugu Chiyan asked, "What's the matter?"

I heard the third prince speak, "I plan to take the Imperial Forest Army and Jiang Hang to Nanyang to recover the hinterland occupied by South Vietnam. ”

Dugu Chiyan frowned slightly, "Qi Nanyang?

The third prince touched his nose in shame, "I haven't fought before, but I can ask a military advisor to teach me to fight." ”

Dugu Chiyan frowned and asked, "Who?"

The third prince's eyes lit up and he answered, "Xiang Shouyi, doesn't the imperial brother understand the hard work of Lord Xiang who has been away from his hometown for many years and stationed in the north? This is obviously forcing Xiang Shouyi to tell the old man to return to his hometown, it just so happened that I invited someone to be my teacher and teach me to fight." ”

While talking, the third prince winked at the two of them, and Yan'er said evilly, "By the way, I also added some blockage to that Jiang Hang." ”

Dugu Chiyan pondered for a while before he answered, "No, you and the Imperial Forest Army have to stay in Kyoto." ”

The third prince frowned dissatisfiedly, "Why?"

Dugu Chi Yan responded, "Xiang Shouyi is back, General Ji has to go to the north, and the Ji family can't be left alone." ”

The third prince said, "Isn't there still you?"

Dugu Chi Yan responded, "After finishing the affairs of the Tianxuan Sect, let's go to Nanyang." ”

The third prince's eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly, "How can you go to Nanyang, and I will be in Kyoto?"

Ji Ruhuan sneered unceremoniously, "Have you ever been on the battlefield?

The third prince covered his chest and looked at Ji Ruhuan, "You say that, it hurts my heart too much." ”

However, no one cared whether he was sad or not, Dugu Chiyan opened his mouth and continued, "The person you recommended is not suitable for the position of the Ministry of Rites, so change to a more reliable one." ”

The third prince was instantly diverted from his attention and replied, "I think it's very good, definitely someone who is loyal to me." ”

Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and replied, "It's too stupid." ”

The third prince glanced at the Nine Emperor Uncles depressedly, and finally compromised, "Okay, I'll see if there is a more suitable candidate." ”

After everything that should be said, Dugu Chiyan saw that the third prince was still sitting there, and said, "Anything else?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment before he spoke, "It's okay." ”

Dugu Chiyan replied unceremoniously, "It's okay, you can go." ”

The third prince covered his chest again and glared at the two of them fiercely, "Sure enough, it's two people, both of them are so ruthless." ”

Saying this, the man stood up and planned to leave.

But after standing up, he paused again, and then said thoughtfully, "The royal brother has been married for many years, and there are many concubines, why don't you have any heirs until now?"

Ji Ruhuan almost ignored this question, and at this time, when he heard the third prince suddenly ask, he also looked at the Nine Emperor Uncles with a curious face, waiting for the Nine Emperor Uncles' answer.

I heard the Nine Emperor Uncle answer, "He won't have any more children?"

Hearing his response, the eyes of the third prince and Ji Ruhuan widened in surprise, and the third prince couldn't help but speak, "How come?"

Dugu Chi Yan pursed his lips and replied, "The first queen wants to put him to death, how can he give him a chance to leave an heir?"

The two of them instantly understood that when the emperor was still the crown prince, the first queen gave him so much medicine, but I was afraid that she had already unknowingly given him sterilization medicine.

The third prince sighed, "Since there is no way to have an heir, why should he, does he really want to make our Dugu clan cut off children and grandchildren?"

Dugu Chiyan replied lightly, "He doesn't know yet." ”

The third prince said with a little surprise, "Huh?"

On the side, Ji Ruhuan guessed, "Senior Brother Ziqi didn't tell him?"

Dugu Chiyan nodded, "I told the senior brother of the son period at the beginning, but I was worried that this matter would be revealed, and he, the prince, was afraid that he would not be able to succeed to the throne smoothly." ”

Ji Ruhuan was speechless and responded, "It's just that you didn't expect that this prince succeeded to the throne smoothly, but he didn't recognize people and became a white-eyed wolf, right?" ”

Dugu Chiyan nodded, and the third prince's eyes lit up and said, "You said that if we told him about this, wouldn't he be planning to deal with us?"

Ji Ruhuan looked at the third prince speechlessly, "Are you stupid?"

The third prince replied dissatisfiedly, "Why am I stupid? If he knows that he can't have an heir, why is he guarding us like this? Anyway, he will give this throne to others in the future." ”

Ji Ruhuan finally believed what the Nine Emperor Uncles said, these three princes actually have no ambitions, and in his opinion, the competition for the throne is for the heirs?

What others obviously care about is the supreme and the imperial power that is worshiped by 10,000 people, okay?

Ji Ruhuan said speechlessly, "Believe it or not, go tell the emperor now, the emperor can immediately charge you with intent to rebel, and you don't have to deal with you with any intentions." ”

The third prince said with a depressed face, "Then what is he doing like this?"

Ji Ruhuan looked at the third prince with a sympathetic expression, "With your brain full of wind and snow, I guess you can't think of it." ”

The third prince replied dissatisfiedly, "What you said is not right? Since I made a family relationship with Wanwan, I haven't had any trouble with other women." ”

Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther away, Dugu Chiyan opened his mouth to interrupt the two, "You just don't know about this, if you go and say it, maybe it can still be relied on on you." ”

The third prince responded, and Dugu Chiyan spoke again, "You can go." ”

The third prince glanced at the two of them with a resentful expression, said goodbye and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, Dugu Chiyan still got up early and went to the court, but he came back late.

Ji Ruhuan had breakfast, and he didn't wait for the Nine Emperor Uncle to come back, but Feng Changzhi got the news from there, saying that according to the address explained by Li Xuan, he really took a few dens of the Tianxuan Sect near Kyoto.

There are also a few that are close to the South China Sea, near the Yinli Valley, so they can only send people to investigate first, and then notify the people of the Yinli Valley to help exterminate them.

The things were explained to the people next to him, but there was nothing for Ji Ruhuan to do in person, so Ji Ruhuan stayed in the house to help Qiu's mother clean up the industrial accounts in the house.

waited until almost noon, and the Nine Emperor Uncles finally returned.

Ji Ru welcomed him, personally changed the clothes of the Nine Emperor Uncles, and asked, "Why is it so late?"

Dugu Chi Yan responded, "Well, I don't know whether to say that I underestimated our emperor, or overestimated this emperor! I thought he didn't dare to act rashly, and I didn't want to actually want to stand up for those people related to the former queen. ”

It was rare to see the always calm Nine Emperor Uncle so angry, Ji Ruhuan reached out and stroked the back of the Nine Emperor Uncle, and said comfortingly, "The ghost is confused, he is obviously shooting himself in the foot." So what's going on?"

Dugu Chiyan responded, "I'm too lazy to go around with them, I'll just say it, the Tianxuan Sect has harmed us many times, and whoever dares to have anything to do with the Tianxuan Sect is an enemy of me." ”

In private, Ji Ruhuan finally gave a thumbs up to the Nine Emperor Uncles as he wished, and praised, "Domineering, what is the emperor's reaction?"

Dugu Chiyan frowned and responded, "What else can you react, pretend to be stupid and fight with me, I just threw my hands and left, but several auxiliary ministers actually followed me and left, the emperor is completely faceless this time, and it is estimated that he will not give up." ”

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, Ji Ruhuan sighed and asked, "Then what should we do now? Could it be that as soon as the new emperor succeeds to the throne, we are going to pull him down from the throne and replace him?"

Dugu Chi Yan responded, "Ignore him first, let him jump on his own, let's find out the people of the first queen and clean up the Tianxuan Sect of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ji Ruhuan sighed, "I'm afraid that he will make a stumbling block from it." ”

Dugu Chiyan replied in a deep voice, "Since you are so worried about becoming a puppet emperor, if he is still not interested, let a few auxiliary ministers help him well, so that he can experience what it is like to be a real puppet emperor." ”

Ji Ruhuan was surprised, "Will several auxiliary ministers listen to you?"

Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and replied, "They are all people chosen by the emperor, they know very well in their hearts, they have a grudge against me, and without the weapon support of the Yinli clan, Daming can be annexed by neighboring countries that are eyeing each other when they turn around." ”

Ji Ruhuan said very guiltily, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for the Ji family, you wouldn't have been involved in these messy things." ”

Dugu Chiyan stretched out his hand to hug Ji Ruhuan, softened his voice, and said in a low voice, "It's all a family, I'm sorry for what to say, but when these things come to an end, we will be on Penglai Island, okay?"

Ji Ruhuan hugged the Nine Emperor Uncles back, nestled in the arms of the Nine Emperor Uncles and nodded in response, "Okay." ”
