I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Qin Chi was a bachelor of imperial studies and often met the emperor.

But after taking office for so long, the emperor seemed to have forgotten Qin Chi and never summoned him. Otherwise, Mao Shaojie would not have been so blatant in making trouble.

Qin Chi also kept his composure.

Always complete your own tasks conscientiously.

Qin Chi did not do anything else, such as finding a way to meet the emperor.

"Someone posted something to you today."

Song Jin handed the invitation sent by others to Qin Chi for review. "I saw it, it's from the Yang family. Also, Lu Yanji and Lu Bozhou also sent a message saying that they passed the imperial examination and became scholars."

"I didn't interfere with their exams."

Qin Chi flipped through the invitation and read it.

The invitation was sent by Yang Yingrong, and he had set up a flower-viewing banquet.

Qin Chi had no intention of going. "I will not go to this banquet. Let Uncle Li report back to Yang Yingrong. I am currently in the most difficult period of my career as an official in the court. I should not have the energy to attend the banquet."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Song Jin as the wife of the number one scholar.

She received quite a few invitations this month.

Ninety-nine percent of them are unknown.

Song Jin also declined all invitations and did not attend the banquet.

Qin Chi's way of entering officialdom was too high-profile. Song Jin felt that it was time to keep a low profile. This low-profile did not mean being really low-profile, but being low-profile for outsiders to see.

Attend all kinds of banquets.

Revealing an ambitious attitude is likely to arouse fear and also give those behind the scenes an opportunity to strike.

The couple was about to undress and go to bed.

"Sir, there is something urgent."

The voice outside was that Qin Ba deliberately lowered.

Qin Chi put on his clothes again, walked to the door and opened it, and Qin Ba followed him in to report.

"We caught the son of the bandit leader, who gave us a clue. When we were tracking him down, we found a wealthy businessman's villa. One of the spies who sneaked in was killed and another was injured. Qin Yi had people surround the villa and brought out a group of experts during the fight..."

The most important thing is those “masters”, their tricks are actually the same as theirs!

This is outrageous!

This shows that the person who attacked Song Jin on the day when the top scholar was paraded through the streets was a member of the royal family.

During the fight, patrolling soldiers were attracted.

The other side retreated quickly, and Qin Yi also ordered an evacuation.

It’s just that Qin Yi pretended to retreat, and he took two people to chase those people. We will have to wait until Qin Yi and the others come back to know what happens.

Qin Chi's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. "Are you sure he is a secret guard of the same kind as you?"

"Yes, absolutely."

If one secret guard made a mistake, it doesn't mean that everyone will make the same mistake.

What's more, the secret guards of Prince Rui's Palace all came from the royal secret guard camp. The secret guard camp that was established later also adopted the royal method for training.

Isn't there just one way out?

Qin Chi and the others were shocked.

I guess the other party also has some doubts.

Qin Chi went out for a while and didn't come back until late at night. Just as he undressed and lay down on his side, Song Jin woke up and asked, "Husband, are you in trouble?"

"Qin Yi and his gang went after them, but lost them."

Qin Chi went out to wait for them to come back. "They said they entered a house, but no one came out. They sneaked in and found nothing inside. I guess there is a secret passage in the house. Qin Yi and his team have looked for it, but they didn't find any mechanism."

Song Jin listened quietly.

Qin Chi said in a complicated tone: "The person who has evil intentions towards you is most likely from the royal family."

"Who can resist Qin Yi and the others?"

Song Jin asked doubtfully, "We didn't hinder anyone in the royal family. Even if the ministers in the court attacked us, it shouldn't be them. You are the top scholar. What good will it do them if something happens to you? Or is it the prince who is supported by the Yuan family?"

"The Yuan family sent a granddaughter to the palace."

Qin Chi thought about this problem.

Song Jin was speechless for a moment, "You don't mean that the one in the palace is so old that he can give birth to another child, right?"

"Why not?" Qin Chi asked back.

Song Jin shook his head. "No one in the palace has been pregnant in the past ten years, which shows that there is a problem."

No concubine has suspected anything for more than ten years.

Suddenly, someone who entered the palace had doubts. The first thing everyone suspected was whether the concubine had cheated on the emperor.

Qin Chi still shook his head, "According to our previous investigation, the Yuan family is a royalist, a confidant of the man in the palace, and has followed him since he was young."

Yuan Shangshu was an old man beside Emperor Cheng Ming.

He was Emperor Chengming's childhood companion.

What's more, since the Yuan family had been ruled out at the beginning, it was even less likely that Emperor Cheng Ming would send anyone to attack Song Jin.

Qin Chi thought about the royal family members in his mind.

Song Jin also thought of the problem. "Emperor Chengming is very powerful. There are no disputes among the princes in the court. My husband, do you think this is normal? In all dynasties, the struggle for the throne was very intense. For example, the current prince does not have a high reputation in the court. He is so low-key that people almost forget his existence. I heard that he is also a sickly person, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

"It's true. He's not sick. He was poisoned when he was young." Qin Chi got this information from Helian Pu. "The imperial physician said that even if the poison is removed, it will damage his vitality and affect his life span."

"Could he be the one who attacked me?"

Song Jin felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Qin Chi also thought it was unlikely, "He lives in the East Palace and is under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei all day long."

It's not that he underestimates the prince.

Under the control of Emperor Cheng Ming, it would be strange for the prince to come to the fore.

All in all, Emperor Cheng Ming had only three adult sons, and only these three are still alive today.

The Crown Prince, Prince Shou and Prince Lu.

Prince Lu fell off his horse and broke both legs in his early years, and he had no chance of becoming emperor.

It was obvious that the crown prince would not survive Emperor Cheng Ming.

The remaining Shou Wang was not ambitious and indulged himself in reciting poems, making tea around the stove, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. He never cared about the affairs of the court. Some people suspected that Shou Wang was pretending.

In fact, there are many people who tempt.

However, all efforts were in vain.

Prince Shou is already in his thirties and has been pretending for many years.

Even if you are not a useless person, you will become a useless person.

Emperor Cheng Ming himself no longer had any expectations for his three sons and had long since set his sights on his grandchildren.

I have quite a few grandchildren, about ten of them, big and small.

The most outstanding one at present is the eldest grandson of the emperor, Helian Mian, who often follows Emperor Cheng Ming and is taught by Emperor Cheng Ming himself.

After eliminating all these people, the couple still couldn't think of who the most suspicious person was.

Is it necessary for these princes and grandchildren to cause trouble for the emperor?

The most important thing is that Qin Chi has never contacted them, let alone offended them.

"Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid of the guy in the palace? After all this time, it seems like it was done by Prince Rui's mansion."

Song Jin looked around and found himself to be the most suspicious.

After listening to her analysis, Qin Chi was amused and angry. He hugged her in his arms and said, "I will have someone continue to investigate this matter. It's late at night. Don't think about it anymore. Go to bed first."

"I'm in high spirits now."

I was so busy thinking about things that I couldn't sleep anymore.

I only felt a handsome face approaching me in the dim light, "Aren't you sleepy? Then do something else..."
