Looking at Ji Changye's emaciated face due to the recurrence of his old illness a few days ago, the emperor couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "I said earlier that I would let you stay in the imperial capital, so you wouldn't have suffered like this." He didn't understand why Ji Changye wanted to let go of a good regent, but he had to follow Song Qian back to that kind of remote town. This kid got sick there, and it took so much effort to heal, which is lucky, what if something happens?

Comparing the four times, anyone will stay in the imperial capital, right? Besides, Song Qian has married him and become a princess, so he should be based on him, how can he watch his husband and himself suffer? It's just too selfish. Thinking of this, the emperor felt that it was time to summon Song Qian over and give him a good upbringing, otherwise he would not know the rules.

Ji Changye knew that the emperor had misunderstood Song Qian, so he hurriedly explained to her, "Your Majesty, it was my own decision to follow Song Niangzi to Sulou Town, and no one forced me. After all, Song Niangzi is not to mention whether she can live in the imperial capital, but the identity of the minister is too eye-catching at the moment, and it doesn't matter if those people's means are accepted, but they can't affect Song Niangzi and Yuanbao, so they followed them back to Sulou Town with selfishness, everything is the minister's own idea, and no one else interferes."

Hearing Ji Changye defend Song Qian like this, the emperor couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh and say, "Look at those officials, which one can say such a thing as you? I really followed your father, and he was so affectionate to his sweetheart, and he didn't allow others to say anything." Anyway, he didn't want to mention this matter again, so he could only watch him change the subject.

"What did you say you came back for? You can't just come into the palace to see me, and then tell me that you have a deep love for the princess, right?" The Emperor jokingly diverted the subject.

Ji Changye was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he remembered the business he had come to this time and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister came back to the palace this time to report on something important." Then he looked at the other people who were here, and the Emperor knew that he gave them a look and let them go first.

"Alright, there's no one here, you can tell what's going on." It was rare to see Ji Changye's expression so serious, which made the emperor couldn't help but realize that this was indeed a very important matter, so he also became serious.

"The minister has noticed that there has been a recent movement in the frontier, and he has found traces of people from other countries in our place. It is said that it is not the case with foreign merchants, because their behavior and whereabouts are very strange, so the minister suspects that there are female officials from other countries who have infiltrated us, and there are traitors or eyeliners among us." Ji Changye originally wanted to mention the prince's unusual promulgation of this common policy, but after thinking about it, he knew that the emperor would not believe his words without evidence for a while, and there was a risk of startling the snake, so he still concealed it and was ready to find a suitable time to talk about it.

When the Emperor heard this, he was shocked, and thought that it was indeed a big deal, so he replied, "Recently, I have indeed noticed that there is something wrong with this Imperial Capital, but I can't say it. The most important thing is that I have handed over the affairs of the court to the prince during this period, and he has not mentioned this matter to me, so he has not done anything in the first place." If it weren't for Ji Changye to make this matter clear today, he really didn't know about it, but he didn't suspect that this matter would have problems with the prince, after all, he couldn't lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

"Your Majesty must have been busy with business lately, and he has not been well rested to ignore this matter, but it's not too late to know now, as long as Your Majesty orders a thorough investigation of the entire imperial capital and the surrounding places now, you will definitely be able to find clues, and maybe you can catch the female stem and eyeliner." Ji Changye proposed, and thought to himself that if Ji Qirui was in power, he didn't know that these things were normal. After all, this eyeliner may be Ji Qirui himself, and if he knows this truth at that time, the emperor will definitely not be able to accept it.

Listening to Ji Changye's words, the emperor did not answer immediately, but paced up in the room with his hands in his hands, thinking carefully about this matter.

"Are you sure you're telling the truth? This is a matter of national destiny and safety, and we can't make fun of it." At this time, the emperor still wants to redeem it, after all, this kind of thing happened when Ji Qirui was in power, and I don't know how much impact it will have on Ji Qirui, so isn't it also a slap in the face? After all

It was he who personally handed over the power to Ji Qirui to manage, so he very much hoped that what Ji Changye knew was nothing more than hearsay.

Ji Changye didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but knelt on the ground first, and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, if the minister's words are half false, he will inevitably be killed by the old disease at the moment." Although he swore a poisonous oath, there were indeed falsehoods in his words, but he was not afraid of these, all he wanted was the final result. However, this kind of statement made the emperor believe it, after all, Ji Changye has been so loyal to himself for so many years, and what he said must be true.

"Alright, I know, you get up quickly. What do you want to kneel? It's like I'm serious about you. I will send someone to investigate the truth of this matter, if it is true, it will be your meritorious service, and if it is true, what kind of reward do you want, just ask, if it is not true, I will not blame you, after all, why are you for the good of everyone, so it should be a thorough investigation." The Emperor spoke, but finally compromised his words.

But Ji Changye looked at the emperor uneasily, as if he was waiting for him to say something, and the emperor, who was uncomfortable, suddenly couldn't remember what to do, and after reacting, he hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry, I won't let the prince handle this matter." Who let the prince not have the experience to do such a thing? Besides, even if Ji Changye didn't say anything, he wouldn't rest assured that he would interfere in this matter by himself, after all, this is a very important matter, and he can't be neglected.

Now Ji Changye can be regarded as relieved, as long as he is not allowed to handle it, then these things can find out the truth and teach him a lesson, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

After getting the promise, Ji Changye left here with peace of mind.

The emperor looked at his back and couldn't help but say to the people on the side, "This regent's temperament has not changed at all as before, but this mouth will not be so aggressive, and it seems that he really needs to get married to be able to change this habit." The Emperor sighed helplessly, and watched their backs leave, for it was too late to say anything.

At this time, Ji Qirui suddenly appeared. He was still wearing his morning clothes, as if he had been busy until now, but this trick was seen by the emperor at a glance, which made him a little dissatisfied, so he secretly knocked on Ji Qirui and said, "It's better to be down-to-earth in this life, otherwise you will be unhappy."

Ji Qirui knew that this was hinting at himself, but he didn't take it to heart, but said, "What my father said is extremely true, so is there anything important for my father to let his son come this time?" You can't just say those things just because you want to watch yourself say those things, right?

When the emperor saw that Ji Qirui was straight to the point, he no longer replied in a roundabout way: "I asked you to come this time to ask you something. Have you ever felt anything wrong when you were dealing with Chen Zheng these days? Or is there someone in this imperial capital who shouldn't have come, or something has happened that shouldn't have happened?" Although she has said it so bluntly, she still looks indifferent, which makes the emperor a little confused.

In fact, Ji Qirui was indeed a little flustered in his heart. But in order not to let the emperor see his flaws, he pretended to be calm and shook his head and replied, "Back to my father, I haven't found anything wrong in these days, is there something that my father misunderstood?" Otherwise, why would you let yourself come and ask about these things?

Seeing this, the emperor said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, I just feel that I have been a little absent-minded in recent days, which makes people feel uneasy, so I wonder if there is any government that has not been handled well, so I asked you to come and ask, and now that I know that everything is safe, there is nothing to worry about."

Then he thought about it for a while, and then said, "This regent has returned to the imperial capital, and he was stopped outside the city gate because he did not have a pass, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, you should go and send a communication card to the regent, as well as the king of Jin, otherwise it will be too troublesome to go back and forth." Even if Ji Changye didn't want to tell anyone else about his return, but if he wanted a communication certificate and knew something in the imperial capital, he still had to go through Ji Qirui.

Ji Qirui, who heard the news, was shocked, digested what the emperor said in disbelief, and then pretended to be casual under the emperor's somewhat puzzled expression

He replied, "It's my father, and I'll send someone to do it." It was a happy event for the regent to come back, so the retainers thought that they should hold a banquet to welcome the regent, which could be regarded as a gesture from the regents." The most important thing is that he wants to do something else through this banquet, first of all, he wants to lure Ji Changye to his own territory.

The emperor didn't think too much about it, but felt that this was Ji Qirui's heart and the affection between the two of them. So he agreed, and said, "You can do it yourself, it's all a matter between you young people, if there is any problem, you can decide for yourself." He still wants to ease the relationship between the two people, although he doesn't say it, but he knows very well that the relationship between the two people is already in dire straits.

After all, now that Ji Qirui is the crown prince, if he wants to be in charge of the government, he definitely doesn't want Ji Changye to divide power, so he must be wary and even defensive and hostile to him. And Ji Changye is indifferent to fame and fortune, but he still has to shoulder the responsibility, and the face of Ji Qirui will naturally not swallow his anger against him, and the contradiction between the two people will be formed.

"Yes, don't worry, father, the retainer will definitely entertain the Lord Regent." Ji Qirui replied thoughtfully,

The emperor nodded and agreed, so Ji Qirui went to do this matter, and the line was very large, after all, if he wanted to embarrass Ji Changye, he must let everyone see it, so that his power would definitely be inferior to himself.

Ji Changye didn't know Ji Qirui's thoughts, and it was a little strange after receiving his invitation, because he and Yujin also received it, so the two of them got together and wanted to discuss what this Ji Qirui wanted to do, how could he suddenly be kind enough to hold a reception banquet for them?
