Little embroiderer from the General's Mansion

General Yu Chang, who was given military power and rank? Shan Jihe was slightly surprised.

If the Prime Minister and General Yu were in collusion, it would be a bit tricky.

Ji Yong was quite helpless, nodded and said: "Exactly."

The author has something to say: Thank you for liking.

☆, Yasukuni

On the day of Ji Yaozhi's marriage, Shan Jihe made preparations in advance and took Jingnan and the injured Shaobei to the inn. Before leaving, he received a secret letter from the emperor, asking him to confirm the princess's identity in the inn. comprehensive.

This is related to the two countries, and Shan Jihe cannot be negligent. When he arrived at the station, there were already many soldiers waiting outside the gate. The leader was a tall and mighty man, wearing a strong armor and riding a horse. .

"The general of the next dynasty, Shan Jihe, came to escort the princess to Beijing together." Shan Jihe jumped off the horse and said respectfully with his fists clasped.

After looking at Shan Jihe, the general jumped off his horse like Shan Jihe, but said with some disdain: "Dare to ask Chaoguo, but he looks down on me, Jingguo? Or is he afraid that something will go wrong on the road?"

Shan Jihe smiled instead of anger, and continued to cup his fists and said: "The princess is coming to Chaoguo, and Chaoguo must protect the princess comprehensively. Please rest assured, the general, it is the general's job to welcome the princess, please."

"This general is Zhao Meng, the general who protects the country of the Yasukuni. Since this is the case, I will tell you that if something happens to the princess, it is your responsibility to the country. Don't think about getting rid of it!" Zhao Meng did not show any mercy. On the face, the words that come out are aggressive.

Jing Nan and Shao Bei, who were following behind Shan Jihe, were a little angry, but in Shan Jihe's eyes, they stopped in place helplessly.

"It's getting late, let's go." Shan Jihe said, his expression unclear.

Zhao Meng waved his hand behind him, but after a while, dozens of soldiers escorted the sedan chair and walked over from behind the station.

Shan Jihe got on his horse, took Jingnan and Shaobei with him, and led the soldiers behind him back the same way.

Civil and military officials were waiting in the palace, and Ji Yao was dressed in a red silk and satin wedding dress, watching the nanny beside him telling him things.

"Go down." Ji Yaozhi was a little annoyed, the clothes made him feel extremely dazzling.

The nanny was stunned for a moment, then she gave an apologetic laugh and hurried out.

The East Palace was full of joy, silk and satin beams were hung on the beams, and happy words could be seen everywhere, but Ji Yaozhi couldn't laugh, he just felt that his heart was already dead, and he died when he walked out of the old house that day.

He never thought that Shan Jichen would lie to him, let alone that he and Shan Jichen would come to this point.

All his hopes are gone, he once thought of power and bestowed a title on Shan Jichen, but now it seems that it is just a myth, so what if he sits on the crown prince?So what if he gained power?No matter what, he couldn't get back Shan Jichen's truth.

Those few days in the old house were the happiest days he had ever lived.

You can look at the appearance of your loved one when you raise your eyes, and sit down and chat for a while together. It has never been a burden, and it has never been so hopeless.

A servant's urging sound came from outside the door, Ji Yaozhi withdrew his thoughts and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

From today onwards, he is no longer Ji Yaozhi in the past, he wants to take over the crown prince, he wants to sit on the world.

Father's meaning was obvious, but Ji Yaozhi chuckled, feeling a little more confident than before.

Yan Yan suddenly saw half of the broken jade on the table, which was exactly the same as Shan Jichen's.

Ji Yaozhi gently picked it up, only to feel that his hopeless heart started beating again.

The broken jade in his hand seemed to be crushed by him, Ji Yaozhi caressed it one last time, and threw the broken jade aside cruelly.

Now that a choice has been made, why should it be so nostalgic?

The steps of getting married are cumbersome and tiring. At the end, the princess of the neighboring country had to wait at the east steps of the Qianqing Gate. When the minister of praise stood facing the southwest and read the imperial decree, the princess was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Yaozhi's face was gloomy, and it was particularly glaring to stand on the spot in a happy dress.

The civil and military officials who had accepted the imperial decree to enter the palace whispered, Shan Jihe's eyes darkened, thinking of what General Zhao Meng said not long ago, suddenly an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Looking up at Ji Yaozhi, the two looked at each other, but they didn't know the reason.

Ji Yong was angry, the princess of the neighboring country is so brave, she did such a presumptuous thing on the wedding day!

Just as he was about to send someone to look for it, he saw a guard in the distance run away, with a blue nose and swollen eyes, and hurried over: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well!"

Ji Yong stood up abruptly, looked at the guard who fell on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, and cursed fiercely: "Why are you so flustered! Where is the princess!"

"Your majesty... lord, the princess, she is dead!" The guard was kicked in the abdomen as soon as he finished speaking.

"Why did the good ones die?" Ji Yaozhi was burning with anger, his eyes were red.

Amid the uproar, Shan Jihe only had time to see the prime minister's malicious smile before being called over by Ji Yong's words: "General Shan, but you brought the princess closer to the palace yourself?"

"Go back to the emperor, that's right."

Ji Yong stood up abruptly, and asked sharply, "Then why did this happen!"

Shan Jihe was about to answer, but he heard a commotion in the distance. After a while, Zhao Meng rushed over with his accompanying soldiers: "Today, the princess got married, but she died in vain in your country. Your Majesty, can I give it to you?" Yasukuni has an explanation!"

Ji Yong was puzzled, but he knew that this matter happened in the court. He is the king of a country, so he must say something: "General, can I check it out?"

"Bring it up." Zhao Meng waved his hand, and four soldiers behind him carried one person forward.

The man was delicate in stature, dressed in a wedding dress, and covered his head with a hijab.

Ji Yaozhi narrowed his eyes, looking suspiciously at Zhao Meng's appearance.

The princess who was carried up became the focus, and the ministers sitting around looked around, only to see Zhao Meng reaching out to take off the princess' hijab, and there was a shuddering gasp.

The princess's face was red and swollen, and the seven orifices were bleeding, obviously poisoned.

A look of doubt flashed across Ji Yong's eyes, and he asked sharply, "General Shan, is this the princess herself?"

Shan Jihe frowned, and stared at the woman in wedding clothes for a moment. He had only had a quick glance earlier, and before he could take a closer look, Zhao Meng protected the princess. All he saw was the princess's hand .

The princess has an exquisite jade ring on her left hand. Shan Jihe looked down and saw that the exquisite emerald ring was carried by the princess.

"Go back to the emperor, it's the princess."

Ji Yong remained silent, Zhao Meng stood below, asked someone to carry the princess down, then stared fiercely at the crowd for a moment, and asked loudly: "Emperor, something happened to the princess in the court, this is your court The country's fault! I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince had an affair with Shan Jichen, the general of your dynasty, so what, could it be that the Seventh Prince didn't want to marry the princess and sent someone to kill him?"

"Stop talking wildly, this is the country of the court, how can you allow yourself to be presumptuous here!" Shan Jihe said, staring at Zhao Meng with cold eyes.

"Hey, General Shan didn't say that this general would have forgotten. Isn't Shan Jichen the eldest brother of General Shan?" Zhao Meng straightened his stick and said contemptuously: "General Shan married a man. Eye-opening."

"Presumptuous!" Ji Yong shouted.

Zhao Meng was no longer as frivolous as before, and instantly pulled his face down: "I have already sent someone to report to Yasukuni, the Lord of Yasukuni has ordered me to take full responsibility for the princess's affairs. Now that the princess died in your court, if you If Chaoguo doesn't give an explanation, don't blame the general for being rude!"

"You said that the princess died in the court, which is what our people say. Do you have evidence?" Ji Yaozhi thought for a moment and asked.

"Evidence?" Zhao Meng sneered, "Does it count if you caught the maid who poisoned the princess?"

Just as he was speaking, a soldier behind Zhao Meng brought up a weak maid.

This maid is from Ji Yaozhi's East Palace.

"Your Highness must save the maidservant. The maidservant is only following orders. Your Highness must not ignore the maidservant!" The maid cried bitterly and kowtowed to Ji Yaozhi.

Shan Jihe was furious in his heart, and looked up at the face of the prime minister beside him.

The old and cunning prime minister was watching with a satisfied face, as if he was watching a play.

"Bold slave, when did this prince order you!" Ji Yao trembled with anger.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The servant crawled over, hugged Ji Yaozhi's leg and struggled: "Your Highness, save this servant...the servant is..."

"Killing the princess, death is inevitable!" Zhao Meng watched coldly from the side, and when the slave was crying, he suddenly pulled the man to him, fixed the slave's head on his arm with one hand, twisted it hard, and then screamed at the crowd. Under the shocked eyes, the slave girl's head was forcibly twisted off by Zhao Meng.

Ji Yong sat paralyzed on the dragon chair, and Eunuch Lu Xi hurried forward and shouted in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, send the imperial physician!"

Zhao Meng is too lazy to say anything, he is bound to win the outcome of today's matter, looking at Ji Yong's appearance, Zhao Meng sneered: "The slave is dead, the natural guilt of being the master is inevitable, the person who comes, will be the king of the country. I will bring back my prince! I will take his life for another!"

"Wait!" Ji Yong felt a pain in his chest, and he hurriedly stopped after a while: "You don't want to get a maid to settle this matter, why the matter is still to be found out, so you take my prince with you so recklessly?" Let's go, I'm afraid it's not because you have plans for Yasukuni?"

Zhao Meng was so blocked that he could not speak, but he did not want to be outdone: "Okay, if you want to investigate this general, I will let you investigate. Listen carefully, this general has sent troops from Yasukuni to come. If you can't find out the reason within three days, come here. , I will lead the army to attack your country!"

"I hope the general will do what he says."

"Hmph!" Zhao Meng snorted coldly, and led the soldiers away in a mighty manner.

Not one person who led Yasukuni was left, finally Ji Yong couldn't bear it and coughed violently.

"Father!" Ji Yaozhi hurried forward with a worried look on his face.

Ji Yong was in unbearable pain, but he still exerted a bit of strength, held Ji Yaozhi's arm tightly, stared into Ji Yaozhi's eyes and asked intermittently, "Did you do this?"

"No." Ji Yaozhi shook his head with firm eyes.

Ji Yong nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, then pushed away the crowd in front of him, glanced at the queen, and finally fixed his eyes on Shan Jihe: "General Shan, I ordered you to do something today."

"Your Majesty..." Shan Jihe replied with a bitter heart, frowning.

"Put Yaozhi in the prison, and don't let him out until the truth comes to light!"

The civil and military officials who were about to turn pale with shock, Shan Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground after hearing this, and tried his best to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"My belief is far away, but it doesn't mean that Yasuo believes it. General Shan took over this matter, and General Shan will investigate it." Ji Yong waved his hand to show that he was tired.

Lu Xigong just wanted to help Ji Yong go down, but he listened to the prime minister who hadn't spoken since just now and said: "Your Majesty, I just feel that something is wrong."

Ji Yong stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the prime minister, and asked coldly after a moment of eloquence: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the princess of the neighboring country was taken back to the palace by General Shan. General Shan should be responsible for this matter. The doubts about General Shan have not been eliminated. How can he take on the important task of investigating this matter?"

Ji Yong looked at him coldly, and asked sharply, "Does the prime minister have any opinions?"

"According to what I see, General Shan, as a general, failed to fully protect the princess of the neighboring country and put the court in trouble. He should accept his official title and military power to show the world. If this is the case, Jingguo has seen the sincerity of the emperor and should be more lenient. The time is right."

Shan Jihe stared at the prime minister, secretly laughing at the prime minister for showing his tail.

Ji Yong supported his forehead, and under the eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "Then it's up to the prime minister."

The author has something to say: today's third update will continue tomorrow.

Thank you for liking, I will come back to catch bugs at night, and I will go to practice driving later.

Chirp.

☆, dismissal

The prime minister is treacherous, but he doesn't want to make things difficult.

In front of all civil and military officials, Ji Yong couldn't make any other choice, Ji Yaozhi was pushed to the cell, Shan Jihe remained expressionless, did not take any action because of the prime minister's words, obediently respectfully gave the soldier amulet bestowed on him by the emperor Handed it over to Eunuch Luxi.

"Let's all back down." Ji Yong sighed, his eyes swept over everyone, and he went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, think twice!" Shan Wu's forehead was sweating, and he hated the prime minister in his heart.

"Taiwei, since the emperor made the decree, is there any reason to take it back?" The prime minister sneered, a little carried away.

"You..." Shan Wu's words were blocked in his throat, but he didn't say anything outside after all.

Shan Jihe stared at Ji Yong's back, seeing that many ministers had dispersed, withdrew his thoughtful gaze, bent down and helped Shan Wu up: "Father, get up."

Shan Wu gave the prime minister a hard look, and slowly stood up.

It was in the confrontation with the prime minister that he suddenly saw that Eunuch Lu Xi who had just left ran back, and said softly to Shan Jihe: "The emperor just asked our family to tell that since something happened to your highness, the prince will investigate and find out. Others don't have to worry about it."

Shan Jihe laughed secretly, presumably Yaoyun, who the prime minister didn't know about, had returned to the capital.

In recent days, the Prime Minister has been a little bold and reckless, and also a little complacent. He only puts his eyes on himself and Yaozhi in the bright place, but he doesn't want Yaoyun, who has been hiding in the dark and cooperating with the emperor in the dark, to make him troublesome. for a while.

Shan Wu listened to Eunuch Lu Xi's words, hurriedly clasped his fists together, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise."

The person who investigated the matter was replaced by Ji Yaoyun, and the prime minister broke up after half-assessing.

Shan Jihe sent Shan Wu back to Taiwei's Mansion, then turned his head and asked Uncle Fu to drive the carriage to Qi Mansion. Since he was unofficial and light-weight, he was at ease and didn't have to think about those worrying things. Time can accompany and pray.

Just counting the days, Qi Yifang was also closed for a while, it must be reopened.

The butler of the Qi Mansion trotted to report. Shan Jihe walked like a gust of wind, making Uncle Fu behind him almost unable to keep up.

"Ji He!" Qi Pan ran over from the wing room with a very happy face.

Shan Jihe stretched out his hand to catch Qi Pan's rushing body, and kissed Qi Pan on the forehead: "I will pick you up today."

Qi Pan raised his head, stared at Shan Jihe's eyes, and shook his body from side to side twice: "Ji He just talks."

"Women see the general." Yang Shifu, who came with Qipan, got up and greeted: "I don't know if the general will come, I haven't prepared anything..."

"Madam, you don't need to be too polite." Shan Jihe smiled, and walked to the lobby with Qipan in his arms: "Now that I have been dismissed by the emperor, I can save these etiquettes."

"what?"

After Shan Jihe finished speaking, everyone dropped their jaws in shock, including their prayers.

Shan Jihe was much calmer: "It's a long story, I hope you can clean it up first, and I will talk to you in detail after returning home."

There were many questions in Qi Pan's mind, and he hurried to the wing room after thinking for a while.

Mrs. Yang didn't ask any more questions, she asked someone to make tea, and then carefully said: "The general's affairs are not for civilian women, but I only want the general's protection to be considerate."

"Ma'am, don't worry." Shan Jihe affirmed.

Just as he was talking, he saw Qi Wang leading a woman into the lobby. After a long time, Qi Wang gained a lot of weight. The woman beside her was pretty, but she looked a bit like Liu Shi.

"See General."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Shan Jihe frowned lightly. In the past when he came to Qi Manor, Qi Wang had no time to hide, why did he find him today?

Qi Wang's expression seemed to know everything, and he asked bluntly: "I heard that the general has been removed from office?"

Shan Jihe chuckled secretly, thinking that Qi Wang would say something, but he was never so thoughtless.

Ding Xiang patted Qi Wang's arm lightly, covered her mouth and said, "You really are, this is a big deal, how dare you be so unreasonable."

"I'm unreasonable?" Qi Wang stretched out his finger and pointed to himself: "I was venting my anger for my younger brother. I originally wanted to marry into the general's mansion and hoped that I could live a more comfortable life. Now I have lost my official title and carried the death sentence on my back." The suspicion of the princess of the neighboring country, call me..."

"What did you say!" Shan Jihe stood up abruptly after hearing this, with a stern face and gloomy eyes, staring at Qi Wang as if he was about to stare out of a hole.

Qi Wang jumped, and took a few steps back with a shrug of his shoulders before standing still. Since he let go of his courage, he continued: "What I said just now, can it be fake? Now Cheng'an Street is spreading all over... ..”

Shan Jihe clenched his fists and looked at the two Qi Wang in the lobby, thoughtfully.

"I remembered it when you came." After thinking for a while, Shan Jihe didn't pick up Qi Wang's words, and pointed at Qi Wang and Ding Xiang: "Pan'er's betrothal gift, I haven't given it to you yet." Settle the bill."

"What..." Qi Wang was taken aback.

Ding Xiang on the side couldn't help it: "What gift?"

"The betrothal gifts of yours were taken by Qi Wang from the general, and they were just borrowed flowers to present to the Buddha." Sitting on the side chair, Yang stood up, with a cold tone, looking at the beautiful Lilac in front of her, and said with disdain: "If you take other people's things, naturally you want to buy them." Return it, but do you still want me to tell you again?"

"You..." Ding Xiang choked up, couldn't bear it, and replied loudly: "It's not your turn to speak in this house! You are just a concubine, what status do you have... ..”

"What is your identity?" Yang sneered: "The bride price belongs to us, Pan'er, and our status has never been recognized by the Qi family. Now Qi Yifang is taken over by our Pan'er. You follow Qi Wang, where do you get the confidence? "

Ever since Ding Xiang was approached by Qi Wang to the Fu Yang family, she had a grudge. Today, I really can't stand it anymore, but two ignorant idiots still dare to act wildly in front of Shan Jihe, they are really stupid.

Shan Jihe looked at it leisurely, and only wanted his Pan'er to come over soon.

From the moment he was relieved of his military power, he was no longer a general. Even what Qi Wang said just now had no effect on him. Apart from the prime minister's actions, there would be no other people in the rumors on Cheng'an Street. Shan Ji He is also not afraid of this.

Ding Xiang was speechless, reached out and slapped Qi Pan and ran away.

Qi Wang covered his face, losing all face, he originally wanted to take advantage of Shan Jihe's frustration to find some trouble, but he didn't want to be generalized.

"Speaking of this, I just remembered that Lord Yun sent someone to the mansion yesterday to inform that the cause of Liu's death was a bit strange, and he said that he would pay more attention to find the real culprit today." Shan Jihe put one hand on the table, Picking up the teacup and taking a sip: "I agreed on my own initiative, I don't know Madam..."

"It's up to the general to decide." Yang sat back on his seat, waiting quietly, and didn't say anything else.

"Now Qi Yifang also needs to reopen, but I don't want to be dismissed by the emperor because of my incompetence. This salary will only be less or less. Not long ago, Pan'er wanted to use gifts to fill the vacancy of the clothing workshop. , Qi Wang, you should come back earlier." Shan Jihe put down the teacup slowly, stared at Qi Wanggan's red face, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Qi Wang had nothing to say and could not refute.

Shan Jihe continued to work hard: "There is one more thing you must not forget. Although I don't have an official position, I am still a member of the Taiwei Mansion. Don't overstep it, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Shan Jihe raised his voice for the last words, Qi Wang shivered for a while, then quickly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The grassroots have no eyes, so don't blame General Wang."

"Go, I'll give you three days, if you can't get back the dowry, don't blame me for having Lilac tied up!"

Seeing Qi Wang, who was pissed off, retreated tremblingly, Yang coughed lightly, and said apologetically: "The family has been ruined by Qi Wang a lot, so don't blame the general."

"How come, don't worry, madam." Shan Jihe said.

Qi Pan carried a big burden on his back, he must have packed a lot of things, Ban Jin and Ba Liang were behind him, the three seemed to be fleeing, and ran into the lobby.

"Jihe!" Qi Pan smiled happily, ran to Shan Jihe's side, picked up Shan Jihe's teacup and took two sips: "Hiss...hot, hot..."

Seeing the jumping Qipan, Shan Jihe was very happy: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Ji He doesn't know, I pray that Ban Jin and Ba Liang are bothering me these few days." Qi Pan put his arms around Shan Ji He's arm, and stuck out his tongue at Ban Jin and Ba Liang.

Yang covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said appropriately: "Let's have dinner at the house today, I'll go to the kitchen to make some preparations."

Shan Jihe didn't refuse, and only put his arms around Qi Pan's waist when Yang walked out of the lobby.

Ba Liang pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "The general and the young master quarreled, and the two of us... suffered together, Ba Liang really wanted to Shaobei."

Ban Jin followed closely behind, looking like he was about to cry: "Jing Nan is the one, how could he be so stupid that he didn't even know to come to the mansion to look for Ban Jin."

Shan Jihe raised his head and laughed loudly, but for some reason his heart felt bitter.

"Ji He..." Qi Pan touched Shan Ji He's face distressedly, and asked hesitantly, "Is Ji He sad?"

"Why do you say that?" Shan Jihe shook his head, pinpointed Qipan's fingers and nibbled on it.

Banjin and Baliang looked shy, found an excuse and walked out of the lobby.

Now there are only two people left, Qi Pan couldn't bear it after all, sighed and hugged Shan Jihe before he couldn't bear it and said: "Ji He remembers asking Qi Pan why he went to war."

"Remember." Shan Jihe closed his eyes, hugged him tightly and prayed for comfort.

"When the general spoke that day, he was majestic and imposing. Although it was scary, it was reassuring. I hope that I have thought that the people can live and work in peace and contentment if there are talents like generals in the country." : "At this moment, because of the prime minister, Ji He fell into such a situation... for the emperor and the people."

Shan Jihe buried his face in Qi Pan's shoulder, but the tenacity just now had been crushed by Qi Pan's words, and there were only some fragmented wreckage left, barely supporting him.

"I don't complain about the decision made by the emperor, nor do I doubt the actions of the eldest brother and the prince. I just feel sorry for the common people and Yaozhi." Shan Jihe sighed, the tip of his nose was the light fragrance of Qipan's body, but it made him feel at ease: " Yaozhi is still in prison at this moment, what Yasukuni has done really makes people extremely suspicious, but I have more than enough energy, so I don’t know how else I can help.”

"Qi Pan doesn't know the ins and outs, but I know that Ji He wants to do it, so I will accompany him." Qi Pan comforted.

Shan Jihe nodded, holding his hope and not saying anything more.

After a while, the two of them were about to go back to their room to take a rest, but they saw Ba Liang trotting in with a flustered expression: "General, young master..."

"But something happened?"

Ba Liang shook his head: "My lord, General Xun, will go to the old house immediately."

The author has something to say: It depends on the situation today, if there is time, it may be three more.

I'm going to practice driving later, and I have to work part-time at night.

24 hours a day is simply not enough when you are busy.

Exam [-] tomorrow, I didn't even read the questions, I was tired.

☆, surprise

Although Shan Jihe doesn't have any real power at the moment, the emperor is lucky to keep a hand. Presumably the purpose of the prime minister is that after Shan Jihe loses his official position, the matter of Princess Jingguo will be handed over to the court ministers. Not wanting to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway, the prince who went to Yucheng for several years and never returned to Beijing actually took over this matter.

When he rushed to the old house with hope, he saw that Qiu Mo and Ji Yaoyun were already waiting here.

"Brother, lord." Shan Jihe called twice.

"Jihe, you came just in time. I just received the imperial father's order." Ji Yaoyun looked anxiously, and hurried forward after seeing Shan Jihe: "Prime Minister, that despicable villain, I want to take a look at it." , How much longer can he be arrogant!"

"The emperor told me that day that General Yu Chang of Liucheng has close contacts with the prime minister." Shan Jihe sat on his seat, frowning: "This is not a good thing, as far as I know, General Yu Chang is evenly matched with elder brother , was deeply loved by the emperor back then, and after he won the military power, he was sent to Liucheng by the emperor, and there was nothing wrong with it for a few years..."

"I have some contact with Yu Chang." Shan Jichen said with a sullen face, suddenly thinking of something: "If I remember correctly, after I left three years ago, the emperor sent Yu Chang to Liucheng. Yu Chang was somewhat hostile towards me."

"Could it be that Yu Chang is jealous that you have the same official position as him, but you are more favored by the father than him?" Ji Yaoyun was a little puzzled: "The father didn't tell me about Yu Chang, could it be... Is it also Father's plan?"

"I don't think so." Shan Jihe shook his head, and said calmly: "The emperor is very thoughtful, and he even thought of the matter of letting Qiu Mo and elder brother switch, why can't he think of Yu Chang?"

"This prime minister is probably going to join forces with General Yu." Ji Yaoyun said with a cold face, "The Yasukuni incident has dragged you into trouble, and now Zhao Meng is stationed at the frontier of the court. If the truth is not found within three days Fierce, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the crown prince's position."

"I once wondered why the prime minister was so determined to push Ji Yaojiang to the throne. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the prime minister wants to use Ji Yaojiang's seat to dominate the country. If he didn't know Ji Yaojiang's identity, I'm afraid I'd still be under the influence here." In the drum." Shan Jihe sneered: "When Ji Yaojiang is firmly seated as the crown prince, the prime minister will definitely frame the emperor secretly, and Ji Yaojiang succeeds, that is the day when the prime minister will stand up."

"That's right." Shan Jichen nodded in agreement: "It's just that the emperor wants to pass on the position of crown prince to Yao Zhi, both openly and secretly, so the prime minister has to take a risky game. Colluding secretly, using the princess's affairs to attack the court, is really ruthless."

"To bring down the prime minister, there are only two ways. One is to find the old maid, and the other is to find the real Princess Jingguo." Ji Yaoyun sighed, and said with a helpless smile: "It's a pity, I was looking for her in Yucheng. I haven't found the old maid for four years, how could I find it in just three days."

"More than that, even if we found it, the prime minister would only jump over the wall in a hurry, but he was pushed into a hurry." Shan Jichen pressed one hand on the stone table, with a sad face.

"The real princess must still be in Jingguo. The one escorted by Zhao Meng all the way here is not the real princess." Shan Jihe expressed his doubts: "When I went to the post station to meet Zhao Meng, I observed it secretly. There is still some distance in the city, and the maids who came here as a dowry did not seem to recognize the princess in the sedan chair, and even when Zhao Meng stopped to rest, they never brought food or water."

"Did you see it clearly?" Ji Yaoyun seemed to be grasping at straws, and his expression was a little excited: "Zhao Meng hid the dead Princess Jingguo, and now the dead body is nowhere to be found, and there is no way to start the investigation. If this is true, we can start here. Maybe some clues can be found."

"Speaking of this, this subordinate thinks of one thing." Qiu Mo, who sat aside and listened for a while, suddenly said, his eyes filled with shock.

"Say it quickly." Ji Yaoyun turned around, not listening to Qiu Mo beating around the bush: "Just say it."

"Just now after the incident in the palace, my subordinates went to the post station outside the city to check on the order of the master of Jichen. The subordinates entered in disguise. It was incredible that the waiters at this post station had no expression on their faces and refused to leave for three days. What's even more strange is that the subordinates found out that this inn has a lot of empty rooms."

"The shopkeeper doesn't welcome customers, but turns people away?" Shan Jihe raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Mo nodded.

Sitting on the side, praying with his hands on his chin, couldn't help interjecting: "Is this because you don't want to do business? When the clothing workshop comes, the guys in the workshop will greet you with smiles. It's good to wait for the people who come to be full. The way of hospitality That's the case, but this inn is very strange, could it be that this inn doesn't want to open?"

"I don't think that's the case." Jipan's words untied the deadlock in the hearts of several people. Shan Jichen nodded appreciatively, and then continued: "There are two reasons for not doing business. One is, as Qipan said. , full of people, but Qiu Mo said that there are still vacant rooms in the inn, and that is the second, the business cannot go on."

"The post station is very big, why can't it go on?" Qiu Mo asked.

"If the princess is dead, the first thing that comes to mind is whether the princess is real or not. Unfortunately...we can think of it, and Zhao Meng will definitely think of it too. If so, Zhao Meng will still be in Jingguo. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, if Qiu Mo hadn't bumped into the post station by mistake, we must have found this place."

"Brother, what do you mean, the princess is still at the station?" Shan Jihe asked hesitantly.

Shan Jichen nodded, and looked at several people.

"It's just what we know. If it's as Qiu Mo said, the people in the station must have been replaced by Zhao Meng. If we go to check, we won't be able to find anything." Ji Yaoyun looked at the stone table with his finger, With a sad face: "Poor Yaozhi, he is currently in prison."

After finishing speaking, the few people who had something to say just now stopped talking.

Shan Jichen lowered his eyes, his hands and feet were cold, the moment he heard what happened in the palace, his heart sank, thinking that now Ji Yaozhi was still imprisoned by the emperor, Shan Jichen only hated himself for being powerless, except to say something Literally, but can't do anything.

Seeing Shan Jichen's thoughts, Shan Jihe wanted to laugh even more. It was the prime minister's fault that his brothers ended up like this.

Now, I can only feel angry here, but in the end, I can't do anything.

"You two brothers are exactly the same, why are you even angry?" Ji Yaoyun took a deep breath: "I'll ask someone to go to Yucheng to look for it again. If they can find the old maid, it would be a good thing."

"I just ask God to bless you." Qi Pan was worried and muttered quietly.

There was still a somewhat depressing atmosphere just now, which was aroused a lot by praying.

Shan Jihe put his arms around and prayed, seeing that it was getting late: "Now that the prime minister knows about Yaoyun's return, elder brother doesn't need to suffer here, how about returning home with me?"

Shan Jichen shook his head: "There is no rush, we will discuss this matter when things calm down."

Just as he was talking, the dog brought a plate of pastries from the kitchen, and whispered: "Master, lord, general... this is what the dog has learned in the past few days. It seems that it is time to eat, and the masters will eat first." Some pastries to fill your belly."

Although dogs may look small, they are dexterous.

The cakes on the plate made people salivate, Qiu Mo snapped his fingers at the dog, and only smiled satisfied when he saw the dog blushing.

Shan Jihe, who was sitting by the side, raised his eyebrows with some interest.

The dog put down the pastry, glanced at Qiu Mo and trotted away.

Shan Jichen laughed a few times, and his mood was much more relaxed than before: "Qiu Mo looks serious, but he always teases the dog every day."

Qiu Mo smiled without saying a word, watched Ji Yaoyun and Shan Jichen take the pastries before taking another piece.

I prayed for a delicious meal, just came here from Qi Mansion in a hurry, I didn't have time to eat anything, and when I was happy to eat, I picked up another piece: "It's delicious."

"Eat it if you like it." Shan Jichen smiled and pushed the plate to Qipan: "I don't know where the dog learned it. It goes out for an hour every day. It was brought back earlier, and it made people eat it and complained. "

"The dog looks smart, learn more. In the future, when the elder brother returns to the house, I will bring the dog back with him. The elder brother will ask the dog to cook whatever he likes." Shan Jihe laughed.

"By the way, this pastry has a different taste." Qiu Mo recollected it: "It's the same taste as the one brought out by the prince from the palace."

"Inside the palace?" Ji Yaoyun was stunned.

"My lord, did you forget?" Qiu Mo was stunned for a moment, and continued: "Your lord likes to eat sweets, and when he left the palace, he brought a nanny who could make cakes to accompany him to Yucheng, and his subordinates ate a lot earlier. , that’s exactly what it smells like.”

"The palace you mentioned, but the nanny I brought out?" Ji Yaoyun asked in surprise while pinching the pastry.

"Exactly." Qiu Mo nodded.

Several people suddenly stopped talking, and Qiu Mo was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he suddenly jumped up from the stone bench.

"Go and call the dog!" Shan Jichen said loudly.

Qiu Mo didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ran into the kitchen, but after a while the dog was stumbled and dragged out by Qiu Mo.

"Master..." The dog didn't know why, and was still holding a piece of dough in his hand.

"Let me ask you, where did you learn your pastry?" Shan Jichen looked serious.

The dog was a little stunned, but replied obediently: "A few days ago, the dog went to the alley next to the old house to buy pastries. Seeing that the pastry master liked it, he pestered the pastry mother to teach the dog how to make it."

"Mother-in-law pastry?" Ji Yaoyun stood up
