Ji Feilin walked into the palace hall, and when he saw the fifth princess, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Minister Ji Feilin, see Your Majesty." ”

When the fifth princess heard his voice, she also slowly turned around from the door of the main hall, and looked at him slightly against the sun, she hadn't been able to come back to her senses for a long time, things were wrong, and now she couldn't think of anything to say in the face of such a person for a while, and after a long time the eunuch who commanded her threw a puzzled look, she coughed embarrassedly and said, "Cousin, please get up!" ”

After the fifth princess finished speaking, she also walked straight back to the hall from the door of the main hall, and behind her, Ji Feilin also stood up obediently, bowed her head and thanked her: "Minister Ji Feilin, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

She had just sat down in her seat at this time, waved her hand to prevent the eunuchs from serving tea, and looked at the guests standing below with a pair of calm eyes, and for a moment did not know how to speak. On the other hand, Ji Feilin, after being greeted and dismissed, also stood upright, with an honest posture of waiting to listen to the lecture, and smiled with his eyes down unhurriedly.

She couldn't help but feel that if she didn't speak at this time, she would be looked down upon for no reason. He cleared his throat, moved around the seat to adjust a comfortable position, and said, "Is my cousin's life okay lately?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, what kind of greeting is this?

Ji Feilin was at ease with this way of opening the topic, and replied unhurriedly with a smile: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it's okay!" ”

Regarding his recent living situation, he didn't believe that the current emperor didn't know the real situation, and even opened his mouth to ask him, obviously didn't he ask knowingly? He sneered in his heart, but on his mouth he didn't want to offend her at all.

And, I don't know if there is a problem with the ears of the people around me, and I can even hear some gratitude from his words.

Grateful? He was forced to separate from Feng Yunche, and then fell into the situation he is in today, isn't it the emperor's cause? Now come back and ask, do you not realize your fault, or do you knowingly ask and ridicule this situation?

Ji Feilin smiled at this all the time, showing that he didn't take this matter to heart. Of course, complaining in my heart.

Seeing that he also answered, the fifth princess nodded, and actually opened the chatterbox, thinking about how to open the topic. nodded, just smiled, said some fake greetings, and said, "I have always lived in the palace, and I don't really know much about the situation outside; Since the succession to the throne, I have been dizzy by some trivial things in the palace and court, if there is no place to take care of my cousin, please don't be surprised by my cousin. ”

In this regard, Ji Feilin knew that this was just a prelude to the big event, so he smiled and owed a little to his body, and did not reply.

The fifth princess sat in her position, adjusted her sitting posture again, let herself lean on the seat relaxedly, and also spoke: "My cousin has always been responsible for taking care of the affairs of the court or life for the second emperor brother, and it has always been hard. But now there is one thing that has not been settled, before the second emperor brother died, he once said that a sum of gold from the imperial court is under the hands of the eldest cousin......"

"The second emperor brother has informed me, if there is a place for money in the future, he will casually inform the eldest cousin."

"Now, I don't know where this gold is?"

Well, although Ji Feilin knew that this was a matter that had always been unresolved, he had never heard the fifth princess ask him, and he had never heard such news coming from the palace, so he pretended not to know.

Unexpectedly, now under the premise that Feng Yunche is dead, she really opened her mouth to ask herself.

Could he possibly tell her the whereabouts of the gold?

He sneered in his heart, sneering that this princess would be so direct and bold, he knew how to see the whereabouts of this gold that was related to the future of the Ji family and tell her? However, presumably, this is also a temptation that the new emperor has no choice but to ask, and he didn't expect to be able to learn the truth of this matter smoothly from his innermost part, just casually asking.

If you can't learn about his whereabouts from him this time, you won't have any loss to them, right?

Ji Feilin smiled slightly, his face was still respectful, and he bowed guilty and said, "I'm sorry, this gold was lost when the grassland khan came to rob it. ”

The fifth princess never thought that she would get such an answer, and she couldn't help crying and laughing, and said in surprise: "Lost? How so? ”

Ji Feilin was still silent, and replied in a flat and clear voice: "Yes, lost." At that time, the Aoyuan Imperial City was destroyed, and His Royal Highness thought that it would be unsafe for a large amount of gold to continue to stay in the camp, so he sent the former forbidden army Zhang Daren and others to lead the forbidden army to escort the gold to the nearest ruined city for storage. ”

"The gold is lost, otherwise His Royal Highness would not have sent people all the way back to the ruins to look for jewels because of the princess's dowry.

After saying this last sentence, his chin was also raised, as if to mention that the fact that she had been given to the steppe reckless man as a humiliating peace gift could make his manhood rise immediately.

The fifth princess's heart did become very uncomfortable, and she was quite angry, not angry at what he was secretly targeting now, but angry at Feng Fengche's actions at that time when he actually threw himself to the grassland reckless man as nothing. Immediately, he was extremely glad that he was no longer what he used to be, and had completely replaced Feng Fengche's identity and status, and she was in charge of Ao Yuan Kingdom.

It was something she had never seen before, and it was something that made her feel angry and raise her eyebrows!

At this time, the fifth princess couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart when she heard him explain the loss of gold like this. That gold had never reached the camp, let alone sent to a ruined city by Lord Zhang, a former forbidden army. The gold is still there, but Ji Feilin has thought of a way to bully her into not being able to participate in the affairs of the court at the beginning, and she is not clear about the affairs of the court.

However, didn't he think at all that with so many courtiers around her, as well as loyal people left over from the wind and madness, how could no one come to tell her the specific thing about the gold?

Of course, his excuse is completely reasonable, after all, he was indeed the only one who was closest to Feng Yunche and could speak on behalf of Feng Yunche to tell the whereabouts of the gold, how could others be clear about everything if they were just following orders?

She shook her head, and she had to agree that this cousin's mind was very flexible, and he deserved to be Feng Fengche's most trusted brain.

Since he couldn't find anything to refute, she had to do this first, she sighed and shook her head: "I didn't expect this to be the case!" ”

Ji Feilin smiled in the audience, pretending to be very sorry, and said softly: "Who said it wasn't?" However, among the ruins of the Aoyuan Palace, except for the last time he sent a few people to simply collect a few pieces of jewelry, most of the jewelry and ornaments are still buried under these ruins, didn't the emperor find anything when he sent people to repair it? Those should be able to solve Aoyuan's current problem! ”

The fifth princess almost vomited blood, and he turned the topic to the treasure under the ruins of the palace, which was really cunning enough.

The fifth princess waved her hand, and couldn't help but hold her forehead with her own hands again.

After a long time, she waved her hand and continued to speak, "This is the end of the gold matter!" As for the jewels under the palace, to be honest, not many have been unearthed so far. And before that catastrophe, because of the attack of the Huns, my father also called on the ladies in the palace to donate a lot in order to reduce expenses and prepare funds to defend against foreign enemies. ”

"Right now, the situation in the palace is not much different from the situation outside, and it is only enough to maintain the prosperity on the surface."

She said these words like a little girl who was at a loss in the face of the situation at home, and wanted to use these trivial things to complain to her cousin. It's just chattering, and I don't want to get any help from him.

Of course, Ji Feilin didn't listen, just smiled and waited for her to finish nagging.

As for the reason why he said the whereabouts of a false gold just now, it was actually because since the fifth princess said Fengyun's words, it meant that he couldn't simply and easily shirk that he didn't know the whereabouts of this thing, and if he didn't say a plausible whereabouts, he would definitely not be able to easily prevaricate the past, so he excused himself by saying what he just said.

At this time, seeing that she had already revealed the whereabouts of the gold, he also laughed at her while breathing a sigh of relief.

On the face, he also pretended to comfort: "Things will always be fine!" ”

The fifth princess nodded, turned her eyes to look at him, there was no smile on her face, no sadness, just said flatly: "Have you heard about the things in the palace, the second emperor brother has committed suicide by poisoning yesterday afternoon." Before he died, he told me that he wanted to go to the ancestral temple in person to make amends to his father and the emperor, and he wanted to be buried there. What do you think about this? ”
