the next day.
Jing Rong and others rushed back to the capital.
Because the letter sent yesterday not only informed about the replacement of members of the court, but also... Qin Shiyu's death!
It is said that he suddenly encountered a mountain bandit on his way back to his hometown after resigning from office.
was killed!
The truth is unknown.
In addition, Yu Dali was imprisoned.
All signs are like rolling clouds.
shrouded the entire capital.
At this time, they must go back.
At the same time, Jin Jiang.
Jifu.
The Ji Mansion, which used to be a prosperous world and a city with a city, has since Ji Li rebelled and Ji Shuhan committed suicide, the Ji family has been charged with treason and lost overnight.
At this moment, the gate of the mansion was closed, a layer of ash had fallen on the rusted iron ring, and even the plaque on the top was crawling with spider webs, looking desolate and fiasco.
Pedestrians passing by occasionally also talk a few times from time to time.
More than a sigh.
After all, the Ji family is famous, and the past dynasties are famous. There are not many worthy officials and generals. They have made great contributions to Dalin, but it is this generation that has a rebellious minister Ji Li.
Fuzhong backyard.
A woman in plain clothes was circling around the big tree in the yard, her eyes wandering, her expression sluggish, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth.
Over and over again, tirelessly.
A little girl stood beside her, looking worriedly.
After a long time, the girl stepped forward to dissuade her, "Miss, let's not go, let's take a break?"
Ji Muqing ignored it and continued walking.
"Miss?" The girl had to walk behind her.
After a few laps—
Ji Muqing suddenly stopped.
Turning around and pulling the girl's hand, he pointed at the tree and asked, "Did you hear it? Did you hear it?"
"What did you hear?"
"There is a voice in the tree."
"Ah? Slaves... Slaves didn't hear me."
"Yes, yes, there is someone in the tree, I hear it."
"Miss, don't scare the slaves." The girl shrank her neck, feeling a chill on her back.
Ji Muqing grabbed her arm tightly, her eyes panicked, and asked again, "Did you really not hear?"
"No… "
She pushed the girl away again.
And then continue to walk around the big tree non-stop.
He also muttered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
The little girl was really frightened and her face was pale. Since the eldest lady went crazy, she has been talking about it all day, not to say that she saw a ghost, but to see the shadow of King Yi dangling beside her bed, or to see King Yi's side concubine Chen Xiang looking out the window Her eyes were stained with blood, and her whole body was scorched black by the fire, even in the middle of the night from time to time
Get up and sing, or run around, saying that someone is going to harm her. Over time, the girls around her will avoid it, and they are almost insane.
far away.
Ji Wanxin stood under the corridor and had been here for a while.
Seeing her eldest sister like this now, she felt a little sad in her heart.
The hands in the front of the shirt couldn't help but clenched tightly.
The girl who followed her said, "The eldest lady has been like this for several days. She has been walking around the big tree, throwing stones at it, saying that someone was calling her name, and she didn't say who it was, and everyone around her was scared to death. Now, if the eldest lady continues to be so crazy, she still doesn't know what to do in the future?"
Ji Wanxin glanced at her.
That look was extremely severe.
The girl immediately shut up.
Step back.
She taught her a lesson, "She is the eldest lady in the house, and she was also Princess Yi. No matter when she is your master, she is crazy for a lifetime, and you can't talk about it."
"Slave knows it's wrong."
"Just hurry up."
After all, he waved his sleeves and left.
The girl hurriedly followed behind.
Ji Wanxin went directly to the Buddhist temple in the mansion.
Before entering, I could smell the smell of wine inside.
The pungent smell was unpleasant, but she was used to it.
She told the girl to wait outside and go in by herself.
Before she stepped a step further, a wine bottle rolled to her feet, and a little wine was still flowing out of it. She glanced over and saw Ji Huan leaning in front of the Buddha statue inside, drunk as a mud, messy clothes, full of stubble, a face of a drunken man, and all around him were empty wine bottles, slumped and messed up, He leaned against it softly and weakly, his face flushed, his eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand casually.
I grabbed a wine bottle, poured it into my mouth, and buttoned it, but only a few drops remained.
Suddenly angry.
Throw away the wine bottle.
It hit the door frame and shattered with a bang.
Fragments flew, and one of them hit Ji Wanxin's face, leaving a small bloodstain.
The pain made her frown, and the red mole on her forehead became more prominent.
She immediately covered the wound with a handkerchief, and didn't care, she just walked over to Ji Huan and squatted beside him.
He called softly, "Second brother."
Ji Huan was unmoved.
Her eyes were red, "Since you came back from the capital, you have always been like this. My Ji family looks like this now. Second brother, you should get back on your feet. The future of the Ji family is entirely up to you."
The voice was soft and uncomfortable.
Ji Huan twisted his body and said, "Wine, my wine, bring me the wine."
shouting loudly.
As he spoke, he went to grab the wine bottle at hand. As soon as he caught one, Ji Wanxin snatched it away and threw it to the ground.
"Bang" sound.
Crushed to pieces.
This sound seemed to awaken Ji Huan.
He opened his eyes and saw Ji Wanxin in front of him vaguely.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing. Ji Wanxin cried softly, grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, saying, "Second brother, how long are you going to stay like this? Dad is dead, so is the eldest brother, our Ji family has become criminals, but if you continue like this , the Ji family really has no hope, wake up, don't do this anymore,
Otherwise, Dad wouldn't rest his mind under Jiuquan. "
Ji Wanxin didn't know how many times she said this.
Every time, Ji Huan didn't listen, continued to drink, and continued to live the life of a walking dead.
This time, no exception.
Ji Huan only needs wine, as long as he is drunk!
He crawled on the ground, looking for a drink among a pile of empty wine bottles.
Ji Wanxin burst into tears and was extremely disappointed.
Wiping away the tears, looking at the slightly cracked Buddha in front of him, he couldn't help but shed tears.
She is still a woman, no matter how powerful she is, she can't support this family!
At this time-
The maid at the door hurriedly came to report, "Second miss, come... someone is coming."
She immediately wiped away her tears and collected her emotions.
Asked blankly, "What's coming?"
"The capital, the capital is coming."
Beijing
She froze for a moment, and clenched her hands.
Finally, finally came the wait.
Immediately ordered, "Take care of the second son."
"Yes." He hurried to the front hall.
