Jin Wangfu.

In the courtyard of the back gate of the Jin Palace, the prince Chu Junmo was pouring himself a drink, but judging from the way he frowned, the wine was not comfortable, it was completely like drinking stuffy wine.

After Aunt Chang came to tell him everything that happened after Ah Xiyan entered the palace, he was also quite surprised, but he was helpless.

He originally thought that Ah Xiyan would come back when he entered the palace just to retrieve the sachet, but who knew that after the fourth prince woke up, he actually recommended Ah Xiyan as the chief imperial physician in person, and left her in Weiyang Hall to live.

In this way, it would be very inconvenient for Chu Junmo to see Ah Xiyan again.

After all, for so many years, Chu Junmo easily did not enter the palace at all, even if the emperor summoned him, he had to go to the palace depending on his mood, so it was impossible for him to change his previous habits and enter the palace often in order to see A Xiyan.

In that case, it is too abnormal, and it will also attract the attention of people with a heart, not to mention that the emperor Chu Junwei is a very suspicious person, once he listens to slander and has a misunderstanding of Chu Junmo, maybe it will hurt Ah Xiyan.

Therefore, Chu Junmo was also inexplicably a little irritable, and he didn't know how to get along with A Xiyan logically in the future.

For him, in order to find out the secret of the totem, he had to communicate with Ah Xiyan often, so that he could have the opportunity to know what he wanted to know from Ah Xiyan quietly.

If Ah Xiyan lived in the palace from now on, and there was no legitimate reason to go out of the palace to find him, then it would be difficult for him to see Ah Xiyan.

Although an hour ago, he slipped into the Weiyang Hall wearing a mask and sent Ah Xiyan an antidote to temporarily control the poison, it can be regarded as meeting Ah Xiyan.

But this way of meeting is inconvenient after all, and it is not a long-term solution.

As for Chu Junmo's ability to sneak into the Weiyang Hall of the palace without being discovered by the royal guards, it was because he had long known the secret of the secret passage under the palace.

After all, the first emperor decided to pass the throne to Chu Junmo, so he naturally told Chu Junmo the secret of the underground secret passage passed down by the emperors of the past dynasties.

If it weren't for Chu Junmo's unwillingness to take the throne and take the initiative to give up the throne to his brother Chu Junwei, it would be impossible for the current emperor to know about the secret passage.

Therefore, Chu Junmo sneaked into the palace through this secret passage and entered the Weiyang Palace.

After that, he also returned to leave the palace and returned to the mansion at the back gate of the Jin Palace.

It stands to reason that the entrance to the palace in broad daylight is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for Chu Junmo to sneak in.

Fortunately, the commander in charge of the entrance and exit of this secret passage has a deep personal relationship with the prince Chu Junmo, and he is also a confidant of the former emperor, so he has long known that the former emperor wants to pass the throne to Chu Junmo.

Even the secret of Chu Junmo's initiative to give up the throne to Chu Junwei was also known to him.

That's why he privately let Chu Junmo sneak into the palace.

Of course, with the secret help of this commander, Chu Junmo could indeed sneak into the Weiyang Hall in the palace at any time to visit A Xiyan, but this kind of concealed identity and sneaky way of meeting was not suitable for him and A Xiyan to meet frankly.

Naturally, there is no way to gain Ah Xiyan's complete trust, and there is no way to understand the secret of the totem.

Moreover, when he used this masked way to meet Ah Xiyan before, he also told the other party the secret that he was also born with a poisonous body, and hoped that Ah Xiyan could develop an antidote as soon as possible.

So he definitely couldn't let Ah Xiyan know so quickly that it was the antidote that he, the so-called Mo Gongzi, wore a mask to sneak into the Weiyang Palace to give her, and the secret that he was the prince who was born with a poisonous body.

Because he felt that it was not yet the best time for Ah Xiyan to know that he was the identity of the prince, he didn't want to make Ah Xiyan wary because of this, which would not be conducive to him understanding the secret of the totem.

And he is determined to obtain the secret of the totem, so he is naturally cautious everywhere.

This is also the reason why he is sitting in the courtyard of the house and drinking alone at this moment, but what he didn't expect was that Ah Xiyan had come to the door of the mansion at this moment and was activating the door opening mechanism.

When Chu Junmo heard the sound of the mechanism opening in the courtyard, he also thought of A Xiyan for the first time.

After all, only he and A Xiyan knew about the mechanisms in this courtyard.

Although he didn't understand the reason why Ah Xiyan had sneaked out of the palace to see him so quickly, he quickly thought of a possibility, that is, something big must have happened that he didn't know about.

Because Aunt Chang clearly told him that she would stay in the palace to detoxify and regulate the body of the fourth prince in the past few days, and it would be inconvenient to leave the palace in a short time.

But only two hours have passed, and Ah Xiyan came to him, so something must have happened.

Thinking of this, Chu Junmo also hurriedly got up and rushed out to greet Ah Xiyan.

"Xi Yan, why are you here? Could it be that something big is wrong? ”

When he came to the courtyard and saw A Xiyan who had just closed the door, Chu Junmo asked worriedly.

"Hey...... Brother Jun Chu, it's a long story, let's talk about it when you enter the house, right? ”

Ah Xiyan replied with a sigh.

"Oh, Xi Yan, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, come, hurry up and sit down and talk slowly."

Chu Junmo also felt that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said apologetically.

Then, the two entered the house together, and after sitting down and taking another sip of tea, Ah Xiyan spoke in detail.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Ah Xiyan told Chu Junmo what happened after Aunt Chang left.

Among them, the fourth prince killed the head of Wei on the spot, and later the princess of Hai took her to the imperial study to discuss the major matter of the military crisis at the border pass.

It also includes the plan that she will personally set off with a team of soldiers early tomorrow morning and cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons within two days to reach the border pass.

It stands to reason that the trip to the border is a military secret, and it should not be casually told to unrelated people.

But Ah Xiyan felt that Mo Gongzi had saved her four times, and he was the royal guard of the palace, and she might not be able to come back alive if she went this time, so she really couldn't bear to hide something from her savior.

When Chu Junmo listened to everything A Xiyan said, he also felt very relieved about the matter of the fourth prince killing the head of Wei with a cane, and he would do the same.

And the crisis at the border also made him feel that the situation was serious, and if it was not handled well, the whole country would suffer, and even a river of blood.

Although Chu Junmo gave up the throne to his brother Chu Junwei, it does not mean that he does not care about the safety of the country.

It's just that he consciously and voluntarily gave up the throne because of his natural poisonous body.

He did this to calm down and have more energy to find a solution to the poison once and for all.

Second, I also hope that the country can have a healthy king to govern for a long time, instead of he, a short-lived ghost who can only live to forty years old at most, to reluctantly manage, which is irresponsible to the people of the world.

In his heart, he also put the safety of the country, society and the people first.

So at this moment, after listening to A Xiyan talk about the border crisis, he also deeply felt that A Xiyan had a great responsibility this time.

Even if there is a slight difference, Ah Xiyan will never come back.

In this regard, Chu Junmo was also anxious, but he didn't know what to do to ensure that Ah Xiyan successfully resolved this border crisis, and then came back safely.

Out of consideration for the safety of the country's society and the people, of course he hoped that A Xiyan would come forward when the country was in danger, regardless of her own safety, and go to the dangerous border to successfully resolve the crisis.

And out of selfish considerations, he didn't want A Xiyan to risk herself, or even fall into the mouth of a tiger, and finally die in a foreign country.

After all, no one dares to guarantee whether the prince of the neighboring country is a person who will take revenge.

Once the prince of the neighboring country sprinkled his anger on Ah Xiyan who was almost killed by the plague, then Ah Xiyan would definitely die.

In this way, his hope of knowing the secret of the totem was completely dashed.

If Chu Junmo had never gotten along with Ah Xiyan and was just trying to understand the secret of the totem, then if Ah Xiyan unfortunately died at the border pass this time, it would just make him feel regretful.

But now Chu Junmo has gotten along with A Xiyan a few times, and he has inadvertently fallen in love with A Xiyan, but he himself has not fully accepted this fact.

So in such a state of mind, he had an indescribable reluctance for Ah Xiyan's trip to the border pass, in addition to worrying about losing the regret of knowing the secret of the totem.

He suddenly felt that even if he would never be able to understand the secrets of the totem in this life, and he would never be able to cure his poisonous body, he would be able to accept it.

Only if Ah Xi was hurt in any way during the trip to the border pass, it would be difficult for him to accept it.

If he could use the opportunity to completely cure the poison in exchange for Ah Xiyan coming back from the border pass alive, he would be willing.

At that moment, Chu Junmo also suddenly figured out one thing, that is, now that the totem secret is no longer important, the only important thing is to ensure that Ah Xiyan comes back from the border safely no matter what.

As for the only way to ensure that Ah Xiyan comes back safely, it is for him to go to the border with him.

Of course, he couldn't escort Ah Xiyan to the border pass as Mo Gongzi, after all, this Mo Gongzi's identity was the royal guard of the palace.

And this trip to the border is a state secret, except for the emperor, Prime Minister Dou, General A and A Xiyan, other civil and military officials, including the prince Chu Junmo, should not know.

So he can only protect Ah Xiyan secretly.

Fortunately, he had sneaked into Weiyang Hall with a mask to see Ah Xiyan once, so he had an idea, and planned to follow Ah Xiyan all the way with this identity that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Ah Xiyan until Ah Xiyan returned safely from the border pass.

After secretly making this decision in his heart, Chu Junmo, just like the normal rhetoric that Mo Gongzi should have, first thanked A Xiyan for his trust in him and informed him of the state secrets.

I regretted that I couldn't escort A Xiyan to the border pass as a royal guard of the palace, and then wished A Xiyan a triumphant return as soon as possible.

In short, it was very reasonable, and it didn't let Ah Xiyan see through his mind that he was actually very reluctant to go to the border.

And Ah Xiyan once again expressed to Chu Junmo that she would definitely try her best to come back alive, and then repay Chu Junmo for saving her four times and so on.

is also very polite, and he is trying his best to hide the reluctance in his heart to leave Chu Junmo.

After that, the two casually chatted about some other innocuous topics, passing the rare time of the last time they got together before parting.

Before you know it, it's time for dinner.

Originally, Chu Junmo planned to stay with Ah Xiyan for dinner, but Ah Xiyan had already made an appointment with General Ah and the eldest lady to have dinner with the general's mansion after all, so she had to politely decline.

In this regard, Chu Junmo also expressed his understanding, after all, General A is responsible for sending someone to escort A Xiyan to the border pass, and it is reasonable to have dinner together in the evening and communicate in detail about tomorrow's departure by the way.

Subsequently, Chu Junmo personally sent Ah Xiyan to the side of the road, and after calling a carriage for her to send Ah Xi to the General's Mansion, he also rushed back to the palace to prepare for leaving early tomorrow morning......
