hexagram says

The seeds of doubt are buried deep in my heart. Even if there is no deliberate irrigation, they will gradually break through the soil and germinate under the soil of suspicion.

Ji Xuanjing understands that he should trust Du Bo, trust this man who is like the wind, who can't catch and see through, but he still can't help thinking about what Nv Zhen said.

Du Bo is so talented and beautiful.He is a role model for the children of the aristocratic family, and he is even more admired by the stars.He used to speak freely in the pavilions, even if he wasted all his knowledge, he would never enter the imperial court in this life, and only wanted to linger in the mountains and rivers.

Ji Xuanjing had not yet entered the temple at that time, and only learned about Du Bo from the words of Mu Gong.Duke Mu once sighed with emotion more than once, if such a sage can be used by the emperor, he will definitely revive the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ji Xuanjing was not very sorry, until that year when he finally sat in his own seat and waited for the worship of the ministers and newly promoted officials, he heard the name.

"Du Di, the descendant of Danzhu's ninth younger brother, Du Bo."

He will never forget that day, when he saw Du Bo raised his face, the face with a smile and a hint of scorn was completely different from anyone he had seen before.

Involuntarily attracted, and then they are together naturally, everything seems to be predestined, and it will happen when conditions are ripe.But Ji Xuanjing still thinks sometimes, what made the free and unrestrained Du Bo change his mind and become his servant?

When Du Bo was young, he saw through the corruption of the court.Du Bo, who was sent to the royal capital as a proton since he was a child, never set it as his goal to become an official.Hearing that the prince is still alive and is about to succeed to the throne, Du Bo is disdainful in his heart.If King Li is like this, how will his son be any better?

He couldn't refuse the palace banquet, but he also hated the interplay of cups and open guns during the banquet, so he kept his head down and drank to get drunk.until he saw the man.While half dreaming and half awake, he saw a person who was as cold as a fairy.It turned out that he was Prince Jing, the troubled prince who was about to succeed to the throne.Du Bo sipped his wine, watching Ji Xuanjing follow Mu Gong into the main seat, and he was fascinated by the graceful posture of advancing and retreating.Perhaps, it is not bad to assist such a king.

But Du Bo didn't make mistakes because of "beauty".After many considerations, even when drinking in the attic, he secretly asked his friends who were children of the same family but entered the court early, what kind of person Ji Xuanjing is.Friends laughed at him, asking why so many, is it possible that he really wants to be an official?

This time, Du Bo did not refute as before, but settled down to think seriously.

Seeing Ji Xuanjing again was already above the court, he could finally raise his head legitimately and look at this person who was far away in the sky and right in front of him.Like a peacock spreading its tail, he wanted to attract Ji Xuanjing's attention, and he even tried his best to show Ji Xuanjing all of himself despite the back arrows of his colleagues.

Hard work pays off, Ji Xuanjing noticed him.Du Bo would always wake up in the middle of the night. He looked at his quilt and cursed in his heart how he could have such thoughts about the king.He forced himself not to dream of Ji Xuanjing again, let alone do such disrespectful things to him in the dream, but whenever he really didn't dream, he felt disappointed and empty.Gradually, he exiled himself, suppressed the secret thoughts in his heart, and only pursued a moment of happiness in his dreams.He thought that he would never be able to realize this ambition in his life, but he found that Ji Xuanjing actually had the same idea as him.Overjoyed, he didn't even refuse, and became Ji Xuanjing's "guest of the curtain".

Du Bo tried his best to treat Ji Xuanjing well, and at the same time, he tried his best to assist him, hoping that he could become a wise king who will be praised by future generations.In the process of getting along with Ji Xuanjing, Du Bo gradually got to know the real Ji Xuanjing hidden under the imperial clothes.He used his intelligence to almost read Ji Xuanjing thoroughly, but he forgot to take off his disguise and show Ji Xuanjing the original Du Bo.

The days are still passing day by day, but Ji Xuanjing is always a little absent-minded.

He couldn't help but observe Nu Zhen and check her life experience, but the reward he got made his heart skip a beat.Nvzhen is not from Haojing, but from Dudi.At the beginning, she was an ordinary maidservant in the princely family of Dudi, but later she was found to have the ability of divination, so she was presented to Haojing by Wang Jin of Dudi, and after passing the examination, she became the Minister of Divination.

Both Nvzhen and Du Bo were born in Dudi.

Ji Xuanjing forced herself not to look at these results, telling herself that everything was just his conjecture, and she had to trust Du Bo.But he still picked up the investigation results that were handed in again and again.

Female Zhen occupies an important position and has a very good appearance, so she naturally won the favor of many people.Some nobles came to ask matchmakers to propose marriage, but all of them were rejected by Nv Zhen.There is only one reason for her refusal, that is, she already has someone she likes, and she was childhood sweetheart with that person.He came to Haojing many years ago and also served in the palace.Although he didn't recognize her, she only liked that one person.

Her childhood sweetheart, Gao Jing from Dudi, is still working in the palace, and her scope is already very small.Ji Xuanjing sent someone to secretly investigate the origins of all the servants and ministers in the palace, and found that only Du Bo and a small guard guarding the palace gate were from Dudi.

Ji Xuanjing panicked, but she was still calm and rational.He didn't see Du Bo and that female poison meeting privately with his own eyes, everything was just a coincidence, or a lie deliberately made up by that female poison.

All excuses and self-deceptions were shattered that day.He was supposed to go back to the study, but Du Bo also complained today, so he didn't go with him.But on the way, he was shocked, and his intuition made him turn around and walk to the observatory.

In the garden, two figures, one tall and one short, were cuddling together so intimately.Ji Xuanjing was not mistaken, it was Du Bo's court dress, which he specially designed for Du Bo, a unique court dress.He stood in the distance with a sullen face and hands behind his back, looking at the two figures from behind, the air pressure around him dropped to freezing point.

The servants and maids who came with Ji Xuanjing all knelt on the ground trembling.They are all the king's personal attendants, so they naturally know about the things about the king and Dr. Du.The person in the distance was indeed wearing Dr. Du's court uniform.

The anger was burning, and the anger could not be contained, but Ji Xuanjing did not step forward to pull the two people away.He returned to the study and made three orders in a row.The first is to ground Du Bo, the second is to withdraw the observatory, and the third is to accept Nuzhen as a concubine.You want to continue the frontier, it is impossible!

Du Bo was dealing with his father's family affairs at home at this time, when suddenly a decree came down and he was detained in the mansion.Du Bo didn't know what happened, and asked the attendants and soldiers who came to pass the message, they didn't say anything at all.Helpless, Du Bo could only try his best to contact his friends and ask what happened.

The result was a bolt from the blue.How could he go to accept the concubine, and even choose that woman of unknown origin!

Du Bo submitted many letters, but none of them got a reply.On the day of marrying Nuzhen, Du Bo was secretly escorted into the palace by the guards and imprisoned in the back garden.There is a pavilion in the garden with a jug of wine on it.Du Bo didn't know why, so he poured himself a glass.Even if the wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated. Hearing the loud sound of gongs and drums outside, the bitterness in Du Bo's heart can't be vented.

Ji Xuanjing never saw the female poison even once, and even before finishing the ceremony, she was sent to the most remote corner of the palace, where she was left to fend for herself.He hated, he hated Du Bo's deceit, but he still couldn't help thinking of Du Bo.Small punishments and big punishments, Ji Xuanjing still couldn't bear to punish Du Bo.

On the contrary, this female Zhen, howled all day long in the palace, shouting something to let her go, she already had her own heart.Rumors spread the fastest. After Mu Gong knew about this, he wrote a letter, bluntly saying that Ji Xuanjing did something wrong.

Everyone was saying he was wrong, but what did they know!Ji Xuanjing thought that she would receive an explanation from Du Bo after she was imprisoned, but no, nothing, no documents, and no news of asking for an interview.Now he looks like a villain who tore apart the mandarin ducks, watching the two "virtuous men and strong women" advancing and retreating together.

Tired, he was really tired.Du Bo was escorted to prison with a piece of imperial edict.Ji Xuanjing fell ill immediately and became unconscious.The incident was too much trouble, he couldn't bear to admit his mistake, and he missed Du Bo even more.He wanted to force Du Bo to break him off from Nv Zhen completely.Ji Xuanjing never went to see Du Bo in prison, he just wanted an explanation from Du Bo, even if it was full of loopholes, he would gladly accept it.

But now that he woke up, everyone around said that he killed Du Bo, and he hated Du Bo, even struggling to wake up in a coma, and ordered Du Bo to be executed.

He doesn't remember, he really doesn't remember anything.The three became tigers, not to mention everyone said that he killed Du Bo, Ji Xuanjing was scared.It was the tyranny in his blood that finally killed Du Bo.On the third day after waking up, he believed that he had killed Du Bo.

The picture began to become blurred. Ji Xuanjing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in the wilderness.It was raining heavily and it was completely dark.Ji Xuanjing settled down and called out the Liangzhou cauldron, shaking her mind.Everything just now was an illusion that Jiang Hui let him see, it was the past, and Du Bo couldn't be hurt anymore because of this.

Suddenly, a sound of horseshoes came from a distance, getting closer and closer.Ji Xuanjing hid behind a big tree and observed secretly.Jiang Hui must have had his intentions for letting him see these, and he must not be fooled.

The one who came down from the horse was actually Queen Jiang!Ji Xuanjing stood behind the tree and listened to the conversation between her and her brother.Until seeing Du Bo's mutilated body, Ji Xuanjing finally collapsed.

Jiang Hui let go of Ji Xuanjing in satisfaction, and watched him kneeling on the ground sobbing in pain.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to leave."

The author has something to say: two small foreshadowings.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, Du Bo obviously met Ji Xuanjing in prison, but Ji Xuanjing himself did not visit Du Bo.

Nvzhen's attitude towards Ji Xuanjing.
