Hidden in the court

Fortunately, Ji Mingshang saw through their thoughts in time, sighed deeply, and made them look over curiously.

Ji Mingshang raised his eyes slightly and thought for a moment. Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.

Nangong Lin was even more confused when he saw this, so he asked, "Why are you crying?"

"My boy... thinking of my rough life, I feel like a cloud of sorrow weighing down my head. I can't help but feel sad and write down my feelings... That's why I lost my composure. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Nangong Lin looked at him suspiciously. If these words came from anyone else, it would be one thing to say, but coming from Ji Mingshang... But seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, he looked at Luo Wei and motioned for Ji Mingshang to continue.

Ji Mingshang glanced at the two of them in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Ji Liancheng... is not my biological father!"

"What did you say?"

Nangong Lin and Luo Wei exclaimed at the same time, with only one thought in their minds: how could this be possible? Ji Mingshang had grown up under their own eyes.

In their shocked eyes, Ji Mingshang continued, "Ever since I could remember, I have been in the dark, training day and night, and being called a death warrior. I thought that when I had learned enough, I would be treated as an ordinary death warrior, until one day I saw the light of day again, but I was in the military camp and became the son of King Jin..."

After hearing this, the two of them breathed rapidly, especially Lowe, who seemed particularly excited: "How old were you at that time? Have you ever seen my daughter?"

Ji Mingshang naturally knew what he was thinking. If Luo Lin and I were not childhood sweethearts, what would Luo Wei think? But now I can only tell the truth, otherwise I can't make it up.

"My father-in-law, Twelve, I have never seen Lin'er before..."

Luo Wei felt a tightness in his chest, and suddenly understood. Ji Mingshang and my daughter had been childhood sweethearts, and he was not very learned. He was dragged into the military camp by Ji Liancheng at the age of twelve, and he was able to make contributions in the war at the age of eighteen? It was probably the work of Ji Mingshang in front of him. As for the fact that Ji Mingshang's temperament changed drastically and he was cold to my daughter, it made sense.

"Then why have you been so cold and mean to my daughter since you retired from the army, slandering her repeatedly, and then later transformed into a playboy and behaved frivolously? Why is that?"

Ji Mingshang already knew what Luo Wei was thinking at this moment, and felt indignant for his daughter, so he changed his tone and said earnestly: "Lin'er is a rare good girl, the only one I have ever seen in my life. I didn't mean to slander you, but at that time Ji Liancheng was wary of me everywhere and sent people to monitor me all the time, so I had no choice..."

At this moment, Luo Wei had only one thought: to cancel the engagement! The Ji Mingshang in front of him was not the one my daughter knew, so how could this marriage be concluded?

I have one more thing to say. I hope my father-in-law will allow me to finish.

"Although Lin'er and I are not childhood sweethearts, we are truly in love with each other. If Lin'er doesn't want to, or if you insist on breaking off the engagement, I have nothing to say about this as per my parents' orders. From now on, I will retire to the mountains and forests and never disturb you again!"

Lowe's face looked a little ugly, and he thought to himself, you made me the villain who broke up the couple with just two sentences, and you still have nothing to say?

Based on his understanding of his daughter, there is no way he would be eager to marry her off tomorrow instead of waiting until next year.

Just as he was about to say something else, he was stopped by Nangong Lin again.

"I am granting you a marriage. The one I grant you is Ji Jun, who has served the country with great military achievements, and Luo Lin, who is eccentric and smart, not the son of the King of Jin or the daughter of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, let them decide on the changes."

Luo Wei glanced at Ji Mingshang and said nothing more.

Ji Mingshang immediately shed two more tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prime Minister... I was forced to recognize a thief as my father, and I have no relatives. Today is a day of hope, and I can see the light of day..."

Nangong Lin saw that he was very emotional and waved his hand: "No need to thank me, it's my duty. If you have anything else to say, just tell me. The Prime Minister and I will make the decision for you."

"really?"

"Of course I take it seriously. My word is my bond!"

Nangong Lin actually just wanted to win him over, so he said this, but upon hearing Ji Mingshang's words, he knelt down and bowed his head.

"Jun, I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. Thank you, Your Majesty, for not abandoning me. Jun is willing to be your adoptive father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Lin was stunned, and Luo Wei was also shocked.

Paying homage to your adoptive father in front of your father-in-law, or the current emperor?

But in Ji Mingshang's opinion, this matter is much simpler, after all, there is no such thing as too many adoptive fathers. Before, when Nangong Lin didn't have a son, he would be suspected and scolded by others if he dared to worship. Now it's different. There is already a prince, so it's no big deal to have another adopted son.

To be honest, Nangong Lin wanted to take him in. This kid's behavior was very much to his liking, but he couldn't handle the fact that his father-in-law was still around!

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I want to use this relationship to paralyze Ji Liancheng, even if it's just fake news. Your Majesty, think about it. If so, will Ji Liancheng still be a threat to Liang Wu?"

Nangong Lin's eyes lit up, and then he leaned over to look at the young man in front of him.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I've thought it over. Your Majesty can rest assured. Not to mention that Ji Liancheng and I have no blood relationship, just considering the pain he has brought me over the years, I will never regret it! In addition, you two both know that Ji Liancheng is nominally guarding the border, but he has 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he has long had evil intentions.

Although I have a reputation as a playboy, I don't want to see the world in chaos and the people suffer.

Liangwu is sandwiched between the Northern Border and Jilian City, so naturally we cannot go to war with either of them. However, I can promise your majesty that I will make the Northern Border friendly with Liangwu. "

Nangong Lin and Luo Wei's eyes flashed, their minds turned, and they looked at each other and got the answer.

"Okay, from today on, you are my adopted son, and you will be given the title of Marquis of Jiangning. You will set off today for Jinling, along with the Crown Prince, to oversee the summer harvest in the south."

Ji Mingshang was stunned.

"What are you looking at? Are you an adopted son for nothing? Do your job well. With so many people watching, I have no say on whether you can be safe or not."

"Yes, let's go immediately. Before I leave, I have to send a message to Ji Liancheng, right?"

As he spoke, Ji Mingshang smiled meaningfully.

"Well, let's go."

After seeing Ji Mingshang off, Nangong Lin and Luo Wei began to think about it.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

"What this guy said doesn't sound fake, and the time is right, how can you not believe it?"

Luo Wei had a headache. "I was saying that Your Majesty's adoption of an adopted son might arouse Ji Liancheng's suspicion."

Nangong Lin waved his hand, "Prime Minister, don't worry too much. Ji Liancheng wishes that Ji Mingshang's nail could be driven as deep as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to get him to serve in the army. Let's fulfill his wish.

Besides, I have no choice but to do this. Among the young people in the civil and military families of the whole court, how many can be capable of taking on important tasks? There is a prince, Ji Mingshang is one, Ying'er is also one, but she is a girl after all. The rest, sigh..."
