The person responsible for the fraud in the imperial examination was Chen Dongying, who is said to have secretly stuffed the exam questions into the body of a cat.

The people outside the exam room got his questions and quickly helped him write a very good essay.

Ji Jun and Ji Xun originally selected some young and well-behaved beggars to stay, one was to do some good deeds, and the other was to choose more reliable people from among them in the future, or to help in the store, so that they could find out some news.

Or maybe it can help more people in need in turn.

Everything adds up, saving one is one, affecting one is one.

Among them was a little beggar who fled from Xujia Town, a few hundred miles from the front line in the north.

The little beggar named Xu Ji, whose parents died, was robbed of his property by the vicious clansmen, and planned to sell him to the palace as a eunuch, but Xu Ji escaped while he was unprepared. All the way to the capital, he became a beggar.

When Ji Jun and Ji Yan saw Xu Ji, they saw a thin little boy rolling his feet on a wheel-like medicine grinder, and below was a boat-shaped medicine grinding bowl, and the branches and leaves inside made a "crunching" sound.

However, this did not stop the little boy from holding the scroll in his hand and reading it intently.

Wen Chuhui shouted,

"Xu Ji! Two young ladies are here! ”

Xu Ji turned around, his face was slightly pale, but his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, his expression was indifferent, revealing a melancholy and wariness that did not match his age.

Yes, he almost became a eunuch, and, for example, the cleansing utensils are not well disinfected, the techniques are not good, and it is common to lose his life.

Came over before the ghost door closed, how did you let him shine?

When Ji Xi saw it, his body was shocked, "Xiao Xuzi"!

Oh, it turns out that his name is Xu Ji! In his previous life, he just said that his surname was "Xu", and his name was also ordinary, and when he entered the palace, the master gave him a name, and he was called "Xiao Xuzi". There are no relatives outside the palace walls, so what's the point of calling it? Ji Xi didn't ask any more questions.

Xu is this name is the hard work and blessing of his father, and it is the warmest bond between him and his father, he has left a place for his father and mother in the bottom of his heart, and he does not want others to touch it.

In her previous life, Xiao Xuzi was the youngest eunuch in Concubine Lu's Chunhui Palace. Although he is young, he is intelligent and agile.

Moreover, it is rare that he can also accompany Concubine Lu to play chess to relieve boredom.

After Ji Chen arrived at Concubine Lu, he quickly became familiar with Xiao Xuzi, and the two accompanied Concubine Lu together, and that time was very comfortable.

In front of outsiders, Xiao Xuzi respectfully called Ji Chen "Qin Beauty".

In private, Ji Chen asked Xiao Xuzi to call herself "Sister Qin".

After the second prince forced the palace, at first, Ji Chen was imprisoned in the cold palace.

At that time, the second prince had not yet figured out how to get greater benefits from Ji Chen, he wanted to persecute Li Jiajun and threaten the Liguo Mansion with Ji Chen.

However, Hong Peiju and the others didn't know what means they used, so they attacked their grandfather and uncle first!

When Ji Chen knew, his grandfather and uncle had already been accused of "leading the army to rebel"!

At that time, the two of them had no soldiers and no power except for the guards in the house, wouldn't it be child's play to rebel?

But do the facts matter?

That night, Xiao Xuzi secretly came to the cold palace and said to Ji Chen,

"Sister Qin, the concubine has bought off the guards and found a way to escape from the palace, let me help my sister escape!"

Xiao Xuzi brought Ji Tao a set of clothes for a little eunuch, and after dressing up, he escaped along the dog hole in the cold palace.

The journey was quite smooth, after all, few people would notice that the two little eunuchs were only doing errands for their masters.

Occasionally, I encounter an interrogation, because, most of them know Xiao Xuzi, although they don't know Ji Xi, but there are no flaws, just as Xiao Xuzi is a follower with a face.

After all, Xiao Xuzi is young and has little strength, so it is normal to need a helper.

However, when he was about to leave the palace and approach the palace wall, there was the sound of chasing and killing behind him, and there was also the sound of horses' hooves!

Ji Xi looked back and saw that in the firelight, it was the second prince who led people to chase after him!

Ji Tao suddenly panicked, but Xiao Xuzi was extremely calm, he looked around, and then pointed to a small bush not far away and said to Ji Tao,

"Sister, you hide there, I'll lure them away! When we are far away, you will follow the route I said and go there, and soon you will be in front of the palace wall, where there is a hidden dog cave, and the concubine has ordered someone to guard it, and she will soon be able to save you from it! ”

Ji said in a daze and frightened,

"But—"

"No, but!" Xiao Xuzi was categorical, his eyes were resolute, and the look at that moment was just like Concubine Lu's usual decision to kill in the palace.

Ji Chen's heart was shocked! didn't have time to say more, Xiao Xuzi pushed Ji Yan away fiercely.

Then, after bouncing exaggeratedly for a few moments, he ran in the other direction.

Ji Chen hurriedly fled to a nearby bush and hid in a small bush according to Xiao Xuzi's instructions.

After being reborn, Ji Xi remembered that Xiao Xuzi should have been ready to sacrifice himself to protect Ji Chen if necessary!

Because of the dim light at that time, Xiao Xuzi wore a pale cyan dress that day, and Ji Chen was given a black coat.

In this way, when there is a little light, Xiao Xuzi's clothes will be particularly conspicuous!

Therefore, not many people noticed Ji Chen's hiding in the bushes in the dark.

Ji Chen's eyes widened, and he pressed down his fear, and watched as the second prince led the crowd over, followed by some palace guards and eunuchs.

In the firelight, the second prince was full of coldness, his eyes were bloodthirsty, and with a wave of his hand, he saw a guard bending his bow and shooting at Xiao Xuzi!

Ji Chen covered his mouth and didn't let himself shout.

She saw Xiao Xuzi running, and she stumbled and fell to the ground!

After a while, the second prince walked up to him, and when he turned over, he heard Xiao Xuzi shouting,

"You can't die a good death if you kill your father and kill your king!"

Ji Xi couldn't see the expression of the second prince, and between he pulled out the sword of the guards beside him and stabbed Xiao Xuzi in the chest!

Ji Chen took his hand in his mouth and bit it tightly! Frightened, angry, sad, many emotions, she couldn't suppress them, and her tears fell big drops!

And at this time, I only heard someone ask,

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the search?"

"Your Majesty, why bother to mobilize the people? Stirring up the peace of the palace? A person beside the second prince slowly spoke, and Ji Xi heard that this was Hong Yibin's voice.

The second prince handed the sword to the guard, and asked lazily on the horse,

"What is Aiqing's plan?"

Hong Yibin said humbly,

"Qin Meiren can escape here, it means that there are people in the palace who help her, in case, in case of conflict with it, the other party will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and want to break the net with us, why should Your Majesty risk himself? Weichen has a little plan, it's easy to find the beauty! ”

Ji Chen didn't know what he was talking about, but soon Ji Chen knew.

Hong Yibin asked people to bring a big dog, and a few bunches of incense were tied to the dog's body and head, and after lighting it, the big dog ran in the direction of Ji Chen's escape.

Ji Chen was downwind at this time, and in an instant, Ji Chen smelled a pungent fragrance, and soon Ji Tao was unconscious......

When he woke up again, Ji Yan had already been put in prison!

Ji Jun didn't see the change in Ji Chen's expression, she smiled at the little boy who was waving at the two of her and asked,

"Break and tell us what you know!"

Xu Ji stood aside in an orderly manner after saluting and said,

"The Chen family has two brothers, the elder brother is called Chen Dongfu, and the younger brother is called Chen Dongying.

Ji Jun thought that he was about to turn around, so he asked,

"Then why is it the younger brother of the junior sergeant this time? Something must have happened, right? Could it be that Chen Dongfu is a concubine? The family is not allowed to take the imperial examination? ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but look at Ji Jun when he heard this, and said in his heart, this eldest lady has thought a lot.

So he busily said,

"No, no, no! They are one mother, and they are twins! ”

Ji Xi saw that Xu Ji saw that he was no different, and knew that he had no memory of his previous life at this moment, so he stabilized his heart and said,

"Could it be that the family is poor and can only let one person take the imperial examination? Or, what are the rules of the Chen clan? ”

Ji Chen heard her grandmother mention that in some places, there is a lot of prejudice against twins, such as the imperial examination or the division of family wealth, only one person is allowed.

Xu Ji shook his head and said,

"No, no, although the Chen family is an outsider, in our place, it is not rich and noble, but it is also a wealthy family. It seems that their father died early, leaving them a lot of money to live on. Instead, many years ago, Chen Dongfu had a serious illness, and when he got better, he was disfigured and very ugly, so he couldn't participate in the imperial examination! ”

Ji Jun and Ji Xian are silent, Da Zhou does have such a rule, not to mention those who are disfigured, that is, those who are not very flat and upright, I am afraid that they will be restricted in terms of ranking, and even admission.

After all, in the future, if the emperor looks at this minister, he will be upset, and he will not be able to eat, can the emperor be happy?

"How did it come to light?" Ji Jun is more concerned about this, if you want to help the five princes, you have to understand the situation first!

Zhou Huan is now in charge of the investigation, and she can't let Zhou Huan "fake public and private".

Li Mi only inquired about it, saying that Chen Dongying's brother took the initiative to surrender and said that he planned it and had nothing to do with his younger brother.

Joke!

If it has nothing to do with it, how can his brother "cheat"?

However, no matter how much news there is, Li Mi can't find out.

Moreover, Ji Jun didn't want to be known that Li Mi was concerned about this matter, involving support for the prince, especially since this prince still had some unclear relationship with the Liguo Mansion, so Li Mi couldn't be involved too much.

Whether to support the five princes, Ji Jun hasn't thought about it yet.

But now, the second prince must be blocked!

"So, how did Chen Dongfu help Chen Dongying, and why did Chen Dongying have nothing to do with it?"

Xu Jidao,

"He's twins, telepathic! While Chen Dongying was asleep and dreaming, Chen Dongfu passed on the finished article to his younger brother, so that his younger brother got inspiration in his dream, and he wrote like a god! ”

Ji Jun and Ji Xun spoke in unison,

"What?!"

Rao is Ji Yun was also shocked.
