The weather turned cold, and the atmosphere in the imperial garden was cold. The emperor and Ji Mingxiu sat in the pavilion with curtains. It was a little early to light the stove, and Eunuch Fu boiled a pot of good wine.
Ji Mingxiu wasn't afraid of the cold, and he didn't drink alcohol, but the emperor drank half of the cup leisurely, and his body soon became warm.
"Mingxiu." The emperor didn't seem to be drunk, but his tone was slightly drunk, "I heard that your wife abducted Zhaoming?"
This matter caused a lot of trouble in the palace, and it is not surprising that it would reach the emperor's ears. Ji Mingxiu did not deny it, and hummed lightly.
Ji Mingxiu admitted it so readily, but it made it difficult for the emperor to say anything more. He dropped a sunspot and said with a half-sigh: "Although that is your mother, you are not young anymore. What should you do? What should you do?" You shouldn’t do it, you have to have a measure.”
Ji Mingxiu dropped a white piece expressionlessly: "Since the emperor admits that she is my mother, why should I take her back?"
The emperor said: "This is not Yeluo..."
Ji Mingxiu interrupted him: "The emperor is afraid of Ye Luo?"
The emperor's face darkened: "Joke! How could I be afraid of them? I just want to respect your mother's meaning. Your mother doesn't remember anything, so she just went back to Ji's house. In case she doesn't want to reconcile with your father, she wants to go back By the side of King Yeluo, wouldn't you just add to her troubles by doing this?"
"Get to the point." Ji Mingxiu said.
The emperor hummed weakly: "I think it's clear."
Ji Mingxiu said without changing his face, "I'll return her to you in a few days."
The emperor's face was finally not so smelly.
The fact that Queen Yeluo moved into Ji's house was also done by Yeluo himself. If they hadn't had evil intentions to confuse the public at the beginning, how could they have kept "Princess Zhaoming" in Ji's house openly
I will not mention how many actions the National Teacher Palace has in secret, but on the bright side, it is impossible to shout and shout at the queen, so as long as Queen Yeluo does not propose to return to the palace, then Yeluo's envoys can only wait.
The two played chess for a while, and the emperor didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he muttered: "When Emperor Ming was on his southern tour, why did he meet a woman from Yeluo?"
Ji Mingxiu was not stupid, how could he fail to hear that the emperor was tricking him? The emperor was able to confirm that Princess Zhaoming was from Yeluo, but he didn't know if she was half from Yeluo, or a purebred from Yeluo
Ji Mingxiu didn't fall for his tricks, and asked instead: "I also want to ask the emperor, what happened back then? How did Emperor Ming have a child with a woman from Yeluo?"
The emperor put down the chess piece, looked at Ji Mingxiu and said, "Oh, you child, you are dishonest!"
Ji Mingxiu continued to pretend to be stupid: "This minister doesn't understand what the emperor means."
The emperor opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, then waved his hand for a moment, and said, "... don't say anything."
He didn't speak, and neither did Ji Mingxiu.
The two were deadlocked like that, and Eunuch Fu felt the weird embarrassment even a foot away.
How many people want to curry favor with the emperor has no chance, this prime minister is really a stubborn donkey!
"Are you still mad at me for poisoning you?"
Ji Mingxiu said nothing.
"Didn't I also take poison? I also put my life in your hands."
Ji Mingxiu still kept a straight face.
The emperor said helplessly: "Yes, yes, you have won, and I will give you the antidote!"
As he said that, he really took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table in a gentle manner.
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "The half-year deadline has not yet come, and I dare not take the medicine."
The emperor said: "I told you to take it and you take it!"
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "The emperor gave the antidote to the humble minister in advance, and the humble minister will not give the medicine to the emperor in advance."
The emperor put the medicine back into his arms without saying a word.
At this point, the emperor is more anxious than Ji Mingxiu. After all, people make impulsive decisions, and few people don't regret it afterwards, but regret medicine is so delicious? The prime minister said it was impossible.
The emperor failed to change the medicine, and he couldn't bear the shame to ask for the antidote directly, so he could only be anxious. What was wrong with him at the beginning, so he had to prescribe medicine for himself and him? For a moment, do you really think that you are a famous emperor through the ages
I really killed myself!
When the emperor had nowhere to vent his anxiety, a young eunuch stepped forward and said to Mr. Fu, "The prime minister's chief is here."
Eunuch Fu reported to the emperor, and the emperor beckoned for someone to come over.
Ming'an saluted the respectful emperor, and then whispered a few words to Ji Mingxiu. Ji Mingxiu put down his teacup calmly: "Understood, you wait for me outside."
"yes."
Ming'an withdrew.
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What? I'm leaving? This game of chess is not over yet!"
The Prime Minister said without blushing, "Xiao Wei is lonely in the room, and misses my humble minister."
The emperor choked, stared at him coldly and said: "Okay, I know you are impatient to accompany me, go back!"
Ji Mingxiu left without looking back.
The emperor was very angry: "This kid, I owed him in my previous life!"
…
After Ji Mingxiu left the palace, he immediately got into the carriage and went back to Ji's house. The mess in the yard had been cleaned up, and several unconscious dead men were bundled up and thrown into the warehouse, but Ji Mingxiu came into the house. At that time, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
He walked quickly into the house.
Qiao Wei was lying on the table waiting for him, and fell asleep while waiting. When she heard the movement, she raised her head abruptly, rubbed her eyes and said, "Are you back?"
Ji Mingxiu didn't even have time to take off his court clothes, so he sat down beside her, looked at her steadily and said, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Qiao Wei yawned, "Did Ming An tell you?"
"I told you, this time they were driven into a hurry, and even the hole cards that shouldn't be so bright were revealed." Ji Mingxiu said, picked her up, and put her gently on the bed.
Qiao Wei took the initiative to bring her aunt back, and she was afraid that he would blame her for being careless, but he didn't expect that what he meant was that she had done a good thing, Qiao Wei didn't fall asleep all of a sudden: "It shouldn't be bright The hole card? What do you mean?"
Ji Mingxiu stroked her temples and said, "Do you know how precious a dead man is?"
"How precious?" Qiao Wei asked.
Ji Mingxiu sighed lightly, and said, "There are only seventeen in the entire Central Plains including Daliang and Southern Chu."
Qiao Wei was dumbfounded immediately, Seventeen is a dead man... yes, Seventeen is a dead man!
She once heard Yan Feijue mention that Shi Qi was the only one who survived in the camp of one thousand dead soldiers. .
Ji Mingxiu said sarcastically: "Such a precious secret weapon was originally intended to be hidden, so as to strike the Ji family with a thunderbolt at an unexpected moment. Who would have thought that you took the queen away, and they dispatched the dead soldiers out of desperation?" gone."
And this dispatch completely exposed their wolfish ambitions, and there was no room for them to turn back.
Qiao Wei touched her chin and said, "Since this secret weapon is so important? Why don't you hold your breath and keep hiding them?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "It means that Queen Yeluo is more important than the dead soldiers and dealing with the Ji family."
Qiao Wei frowned: "I don't understand this, why is she so important? Just because she can pretend to be Zhaoming?"
Ji Mingxiu pondered for a moment, and said: "You have to ask them the specifics. In short, the purpose of their trip is not just to redeem Fu Xueyan and Mu Qiuyang."
Qiao Wei nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense. By the way, Seventeen is also a dead man, the dead man of Ye Luo's dead man?"
Ji Mingxiu hummed: "That's right."
"So Seventeen is also from Yeluo?"
Ji Mingxiu shook his head: "I found Shi Qi in the territory of Daliang. At that time, Orion reported to the officials that their village had been frequently attacked by wild beasts recently. They had no way to deal with wild beasts. They begged the government to help subdue the wild beasts. I happened to Traveling nearby, I went with the people from the government. When I got there, I realized that the beasts mentioned by the hunters were not wild beasts at all, but real people. It is not very accurate to say that they are real people, except that they look like people. , apart from having human habits, there is no normal consciousness anymore. The only thing they can do is to kill, and they all use extremely cruel methods.
At first I didn't quite understand why, but after hearing a lot in Jianghu, I realized that those dead men had actually lost control. Their masters may have encountered some kind of accident and could never come back. confusion.
People like that can't be kept, but before we could take action, they started killing each other. We watched from a distance, and many officers and soldiers couldn't bear the cruel scene, and they vomited and dizzy, just in At that time, I saw a child killed, he was covered in blood, holding a knife in his hand, he ran to me, fell down with a thud, everyone was killing, only he escaped from that place desperately . "
Qiao Wei thought about the scene for a while, and instantly felt a creepy feeling: "Is that child Seventeen?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded: "I brought him back, healed him, and let him follow me."
No wonder Seventeen is different from others. She thought he was born autistic, but now it seems that it is very likely that he was killed in a death camp.
Fortunately, he still retains the consciousness of a living person.
"Who made that death camp?" Qiao Wei asked.
Ji Mingxiu said: "I had someone investigate afterwards, and there was no information found in Daliang territory. Thinking about it now, it should be the work of the National Teacher Hall."
Qiao Wei hit the bed with a fist: "Training the Central Plains people to deal with the Central Plains people is really vicious! What are you going to do with those dead soldiers?"
Ji Mingxiu sneered and said, "Don't waste the big gift that comes to your door. Keep it first. If he dares to make a move today, tomorrow he will regret having these hands!"
