Since the rebels besieged the city, Ji Xuan moved to live in the palace of the emperor of Miyagi, so that he could not only accompany the emperor, but also save the protective force of the forbidden army, so that the forbidden army of the East Palace could support the battle of the north and south gates.

Later, Master Wuxizi and Master Kurong arrived one after another, and Master Wuxizi and Master Withered Tree treated the wounded in the city during the day, and lived in the palace with Ji Xuan at night to treat the emperor's illness. Master Kurong led the others to support at the north and south gates.

Ding Muxi was originally going to be with Master Kurong, but because her leg injury had not healed, Master Kurong refused. In order to keep her from being bored, Ji Xuan told her that it was fun in the palace and let her live in a quiet garden near the emperor's bedroom.

Ding Muxi came to the capital because she missed Chen Qi, and she was a person who liked to be lively, and she was also recuperating from her injuries, she would rather come to the capital than stay in Xixia Temple, not to mention that even if she was lame, she was also a first-class master, and she could also play a key role at critical moments.

Chen Qi was not in the capital, and Ding Muxi was not needed for the battle at the city gate now, so when Ji Xuan persuaded her to live in the palace, she readily agreed. You can take a look at the scenery in the palace, or let the innocent son and the withered tree master treat her injuries. In fact, Ding Muxi's recovery from the leg injury has been excellent, and she was initially treated in time by Master Kurong, and later Master Withered Tree used the unique broken bone re-cream of Xixia Temple for her, although she can't exert her strength now, she can basically walk normally.

The old emperor woke up in the evening of the second day when he came to consciousness, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the innocent son.

"You're here. ”

The old emperor was very happy to reunite with old friends, and he didn't look like an emperor at all, just like a rich man meeting an old friend. However, the innocent son did not show a happy expression when he woke up, but said with a straight face: "Of course I am coming, you tricked my apprentice into coming to the capital to be the prince, taking care of the messy things in the court, but you pretended to be dead and hidden, do you know what the chaos in the capital is like now?" It is estimated that there is no second person in the world who dares to talk to the old emperor like this.

The old emperor put away his smile, of course, this was not because the innocent son said so about him, but because he was worried about the capital. "What happened to King Cheng in the capital?" "Knowing the son is not as good as the father, if he can set off any waves in the capital, only King Cheng is the one who can make any waves.

The innocent son said with some sarcasm: "You really know your precious son. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Brother Cheng Wang united with the Ding'an Army and the Huai'an Army to besiege the capital. ”

The old emperor frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"

Ji Xuan said: "More than ten days ago. “

"Let's go, go to the city gates. The old emperor said and was about to get up.

The Innocent Son and Ji Xuan stopped him almost at the same time. The innocent man said: "You don't look at what time it is, since you have woken up, you are not in a hurry for this time, tomorrow." “

Ji Xuan also said: "Father, don't worry, the rebel offensive has been weakening in the past few days, and there is no danger in the capital." “

"This rebel!" the old emperor scolded hatefully, "I am not angry, and I have done such a big rebellious thing, I ...... Xuan'er, I must catch him, and I want to ask him face to face why he did this?"

Ji Xuan said: "Erchen obeys. Don't be angry, father, you just woke up, take care of your body. ”

The innocent son said: "My apprentice is right, I and the Dead Tree Master worked so hard to wake you up, don't you see the sun tomorrow and fall asleep again, wouldn't the two of us be busy in vain." ”

The old emperor was very happy to wake up and see the innocent son, and then he talked about King Cheng's rebellion, and he didn't have time to find the withered tree master sitting on the side.

"Thank you, Master!" the old emperor stood up with Ji Xuan's support and saluted the Master of the Dead Tree.

The withered tree master returned the salute, and then exchanged a few words of greeting with the old emperor.

Although he couldn't go to Chengchengmen, the old emperor was still concerned about the situation in the capital, so he asked Ji Xuan to give a detailed introduction to how the rebels besieged the city, how he dealt with it, and whether he arranged for someone to move the rescue troops.

Ji Xuan not only answered all the questions raised by the old emperor, but also told him about the war in the north and the border of several other neighboring countries. However, Ji Xuan didn't say that he guessed that these things were related to King Cheng.

Although Ji Xuan didn't point all this to King Cheng, but what kind of person the old emperor was, would he not be able to guess? Although he has always been ill, and there are frictions in the north from time to time, but such a big war has not happened in these years, not to mention that there are several other countries cooperating, which shows that these countries must have gotten some hints, and combined with the current situation in the capital, it is difficult not to think of becoming a king.

However, the old emperor knew that it was useless to be angry, and he should stay awake at this critical time, so as to help Ji Xuan assess this crisis, which was why the Innocent Son and the Withered Tree Master tried their best to heal him and wake him up.

......

Although Miyagi's forbidden army is now smaller than before, the defense level has not been reduced due to the decrease in numbers.

Qin Fan's exposure won Ji Xuan's trust and let him completely take over the defense of the palace. Gong Que also began to detoxify him, and now that the Innocent Son and the Master of the Withered Tree are also here, the old emperor's illness has been alleviated, and it should not be difficult to detoxify the poison on his body.

In the interval between the innocent son and the withered tree master treating the old emperor, Ji Xuan specially called Qin Fan to the emperor's dormitory and asked the innocent son to take his pulse.

In fact, after Gong Que's treatment, a lot of poison in Qin Fan's body has been removed, and it should be completely eliminated in a few days. But Gong Que told Ji Xuan that when he and Qin Fan were detoxifying, Qin Fan pretended to inadvertently inquire about the Innocent Son and the Master of the Withered Tree. Gong Que and Ji Xuan understood what Qin Fan meant, so they arranged for the Innocent Son and the Withered Tree Master to treat him.

After the diagnosis and treatment of the two masters, Qin Fan was relieved, and he was even more desperate for Ji Xuan.

When the old emperor woke up, Qin Fan personally led people to guard outside the palace, and he also understood the importance of the old emperor in solving this crisis.

Occasionally, the summer breeze blew, and the leaves rustling outside the dormitory formed a brief echo with the annoying chirping of one or two cicadas that could not be driven away.

Seven black shadows flew from different directions around the dormitory, under the cover of the sound of wind and cicadas. Judging from the posture of these seven people, they should all be first-class masters.

Qin Fan and the forbidden army guarding around the dormitory did not find these seven people, but one person did.

......

Ding Muxi lived in the palace and enjoyed the treatment of a princess, and there were people to serve her in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but she was not a princess after all, she couldn't stand this, and after a long time, she ordered these palace maids not to serve her anymore.

Ding Muxi does not have the frame of Miss Princess, she is cheerful and free, and most of these palace maids are the same age as her, so she soon mingled with these palace maids.

After nightfall, Ding Muxi chatted with several palace maids and slept late, and soon after she fell asleep, she suddenly heard someone passing by the roof.

Ding Muxi didn't alarm the others, picked up the saber and quietly walked out of the house, then jumped lightly onto the roof, and saw that several people in front of him were quietly approaching the old emperor's bedroom.

"You are really a thief, you dare to break into the palace at night, don't you know that this girl is here?"

Ding Muxi smiled at the corner of her mouth and muttered to herself, she looked at her injured leg, and said, "Tonight, this girl will let you have one leg." Then she looked up at the men looking for an opportunity to approach the forbidden forces around the dormitory, and shouted, "There are assassins!"
