This woman is Ji Jingchen's biological mother, the concubine of the emperor of the dynasty, Concubine Mi, and the fourth princess of Chu State. Because the queen was sick all the year round, her family background was weak, and Wu Jinggong had the intention of befriending the Chu State, so even if Concubine Mi was weak and incompetent, she handed over the phoenix seal to her.

Ji Lianmei was very surprised, this woman in her early thirties, who was well-mannered, was already the mother of a big child.

"Mother, this is what I mentioned to you, Ji Lianmei." Ji Jingchen pulled Ji Lianmei and ran to Concubine Mi and introduced her.

When Concubine Mi's gaze fell on Ji Lianmei, her pupils contracted violently, and she stumbled under her feet and almost fell down the steps.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, mother?"

"No problem." Concubine Mi said, and then she looked at Ji Lianmei, "Let you see and laugh, Princess Ji Lianmei." It's just that you look too much like one of my old friends, and for a moment I mistook you for her. ”

Her face looked a little haggard, as if she had been frightened.

"It doesn't matter. Are you okay, did you fall? Ji Lianmei shook her head, planning to step forward to help Ji Jingchen help Concubine Mi.

But who knew that when Concubine Mi saw Ji Lianmei stretching out her hand to her, she was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and in the end, she fainted.

Ji Lianmei was surprised, this lady's courage was so small, but just touching her, she was so frightened that she fainted.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, mother. What are you doing in a daze, go and ask the medical officer to come! Ji Jingchen hurriedly supported her and shouted at the servants on the side.

Finally settled his mother, Ji Jingchen scratched her hair, and said to Ji Lianmei: "It's strange, why is the mother so flustered when she sees you, and originally wanted to introduce her to her future daughter-in-law." ”

Ji Lianmei's heart sank, should she ..... What will be the connection between the case of Concubine Mi and Chonghuadian.

"Your mother, have you ever offended anyone?" She asked Ji Yutuo.

"No, my mother has always been kind to people, and the concubines in the palace oppressed her, and she swallowed her anger. What's wrong? Suddenly ask what is this for? ”

"Nothing...... Take good care of her. ”

Ji Lianmei simply said a few words to Ji Jingchen, and then returned to her room.

Concubine Mi's timid and fearful personality doesn't seem to be pretending, if Concubine Mi really did something in the Chonghua Palace, it would be normal for her to faint when she saw Ji Lianmei's face that looked like her mother today.

But what could be the hidden truth?

Ji Lianmei took out the wooden box containing clues and scrolls from under the bed and spread them out in one place.

"Are you investigating the Chonghuadian case?" A clear voice came from behind him.

"Ah......h ”

Ji Lianmei brushed away his hand, turned around, saw the young man's face clearly, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"It's not easy to overturn the case in the Chonghuadian case. Know that your abilities are limited and come to your aid. Ji Yucheng picked up the secret book and looked at it by himself.

"How do you know I'm investigating, and he's your daddy, why are you helping me?"

"I've been in the folk for so many years, and I don't have father-son affection with him." Ji Yucheng replied casually.

He browsed it indifferently and said to Ji Lianmei: "His Majesty is not a person who values love and righteousness, and similar rumors are spreading in the Six Palaces, so I don't know how he cares. The reason why Concubine Yun was executed was because she knew some important secret of His Majesty, but according to the records, those who knew the truth back then were either killed or exiled to a barbaric place, and there was almost no proof of death. ”

Ji Lianmei nodded as if she didn't understand, although she couldn't understand what you were saying, she seemed to be very powerful.

"What other clues do you have?"

Ji Lianmei took out the belt and hair, and said, "There are no other clues other than these." ”

Ji Yucheng carefully studied the belt. Although it is very old, it is not difficult to see that its workmanship is extremely excellent, it should be matched by the royal family, and a cold character is written with gold dust on the inside.

"I heard that twenty-five years ago, Tuoba Han, the prince of the Xianbei tribe in the Western Regions, visited Wuyue with Xianbei and Khan, and he was also nowhere to be found on the night of the Chonghuadian case. Thinking about this belt, it should have been left by him. Ji Yucheng said, "Now that the mop Khan has become a member of the Xianbei clan and Khan, he will visit the Central Plains again next month, and it is not easy to talk to him." The safest way is to find the opportunity and wait for the opportunity to act, if someone else notices that something is wrong, you and I will be a dead end. ”

Ji Yucheng analyzed this, and the originally confusing case suddenly had thoughts.

The longer they get along, the more Ji Lianmei can't see through Ji Yucheng. At the beginning, he was modest, even a little humble, but later, she gradually discovered that he was a talented and learned person, and now, she realized that this young man was not ordinary smart, and his personality was indifferent and calm, as if he had been deeply involved in the world, which was completely different from the humility and simplicity at the beginning.

Is it because after staying in the palace for a long time, your personality has changed? No, it should be said that he who came later was him by nature. And what I like is his light as water, deep as ink. Even if he knows that he is his half-brother, how can he take back the heart of his heart?

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ji Lianmei's complicated expression, Ji Yucheng asked.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I've never found you so smart before, haha."

Ji Yucheng glanced at her with a little meaning, got up and instructed: "When the Xianbei clan visits, don't forget to come over, I will try my best to understand the situation." He left through a secret door in the backyard.

He's weird today, as if he's deliberately keeping a distance from me. Ji Lianmei thought to herself. But it's good for both sides to maintain this state......

Originally, because of his arrival, he was pleasantly surprised, but the sudden sense of loss made Ji Lianmei slump in her chair as if she had lost her strength, burying her head between her arms.

Chengwang's Mansion.

Ji Yucheng returned to the Bamboo Forest Academy, and the man in black from last time sat at Ji Yucheng's desk again. His entire body was wrapped in a dark black cloak, and his face was covered by a mask, leaving only a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes.

"Cheng'er, you're doing a great job."

Ji Yucheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, at that time, he also installed someone next to me.

"Thank you, Master."

The man in black flicked his loose cuffs and said, "Our plan has almost been implemented. During this time, I will stay here for the time being, overseeing your every move. ”

"Yes......." Ji Yucheng agreed.

"The hook is in the sea, and we just need to wait and see what happens. Cheng'er, you must kill the faint monarch and the princess of Liu Guo Ji Lianmei at the envoy banquet in a few days. ”

Ji Yucheng was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Good ......."

The man in black took out a pill from the jade box and handed it to Ji Yucheng. "Calculate the time, your disease should recur again, take this medicine quickly, don't delay the progress of the plan."

A glint flashed in Ji Yucheng's eyes, and he put the pill into his mouth.

"Master rest assured, Cheng'er will definitely do a good job. It's getting late, please move to the West Wing Pavilion and rest early. ”

After the man in black left, Ji Yucheng spit out the pill from his mouth and held it in his palm. In the glare of the candle, he saw what seemed to be swimming inside the pill.

Xingguan said that he was a yin body, ruthless by nature, and scheming, so he suffered from the jealousy of heaven, the yin and cold qi entered the body, and his limbs gradually froze, and he could not live to be twenty-five years old, and there was no cure. He had thought that this life would pass so briefly, but when he was seven years old, he met this person and easily suppressed the symptoms with a single pill. Since then, whenever he gets sick, the man in black will give him such a pill to suppress the condition. In order to repay the man in black for saving his life, Ji Yucheng left him in the palace. This person is proficient in the art of war and has learned the laws of Xiaoyin, so he respects this person as a teacher to help him rejuvenate the country.

Today, he took the pill, and from the eyes of the man in black, he saw a trace of imperceptible emotion. Whenever there is the slightest doubt in his heart, Ji Yucheng will keep an eye on it.

"Situ." Ji Yu called.

Xiao Yige looked around the house, and after confirming that there was no one, he approached the house from outside the door.

"What does Your Highness command?"

"You send someone to find out what is in this pill. Also, these days, keep an eye on that person. Ji Yucheng twisted the pill between his fingers, and an unfathomable light appeared in his eyes.

I'm here to see what tricks you're playing with me......

The next day at noon.

"Hey, little fox, it's only noon, and you're sleepy?" Ji Jingchen walked in, saw Ji Lianmei lying on the table and fell asleep, jokingly shaking her awake.

"Nothing, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Ji Lianmei rubbed her sleepy eyes. Last night, Ji Yucheng's cold attitude made her sleepless all night. This time, I finally had a sleepy nap, but I was disturbed by this guy.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a teenage hairy child outside the house, saying that he is looking for you, look at him dressed like Liu Guoren, you go and take a look."

Liu Guoren? She doesn't seem to have any good friends in Liu Guo.

With doubts, Ji Lianmei walked to the gate of King Yan's mansion.

Outside the door was an elite army of about 100 people, led by a young man riding a black horse, still young, wearing black gold armor, a sunny baby face, and an immature child's voice, he smiled and said: "Sister Lianmei, according to the agreement, I have come to see you." ”

"Are you...... Ji Xia? Ji Lianmei hurriedly greeted him and looked at him in surprise.

At this time, Ji Xia had turned over and dismounted, so Ji Lianmei held his hand and said, "It's only been about a year, why did you come?" ”

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Lianmei, I'm now a hussar general stationed on the border, and my father has specially allowed me to come to Wuyue to visit my sister." Ji Xia replied.

In just one year, Ji Xia has transformed from a pampered little milk baby in the palace to a general. The thirteen-year-old general stationed in the border is indeed very powerful. Although Ji Lianmei has not been with him for a long time, she likes this brother very much.

"Xia, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

"Sister praise, by the way, what about brother-in-law? Did he treat his sister well? ”

"Hmm.... He's been very good to me, you must be tired of coming here this time, go and sit inside. ”

"I still have to settle the army, thank you sister for your kindness, I'll come to see you another day, okay?" Ji Xia politely refused.
