The next day, Bu Ji slept until noon before waking up.

It happened that the Empress Dowager sent a message saying that Concubine Jia was ill and was staying in a side hall of the Cining Palace to recuperate, and that no one else was needed to pay their respects to the Cining Palace, for fear of disturbing the palace's tranquility.

In this way, Bu Ji no longer had to pretend to be sick and no longer had to go to the Cining Palace to pay his respects. He actually felt much better.

Outside the window, birds are chirping and the shadows of leaves are falling on the ground through the window, creating a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

Bu Ji was wearing a light blue floor-length silk skirt with a snow-white pearl flower in her hair. She sat at the table, flipping through a book wrapped in silk cloth with one hand and holding half a mung bean cake with the other.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Li'er ran in from outside with a letter in her hand.

"My lord, there's a letter from the Lord!"

Bu Ji put down the book in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took the letter, opened it skillfully, took out the papers inside, and stood up involuntarily as he read. His ruddy face gradually turned pale.

Li'er noticed that something was wrong with her face and asked anxiously.

"Is there something wrong at home?"

Li'er is a house slave, and Bu Ji's home is her home.

Bu Ji ran out without saying a word, clutching the letter in his hand, and headed straight for the Qianqing Palace.

This letter was written by Bu Yu, who asked Lord Bu to send it to the palace in the name of a family letter.

Liang Xing used the golden medal of immunity from death to disobey the emperor's order and refused to marry, which angered the emperor, who said he would be exiled to Nanzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital.

The golden medal of immunity from death left by the late emperor could save Liang Xing's life, but it could not save his career.

He had studied hard for more than twenty years in order to achieve success and serve the court, but now he had offended the emperor for such a trivial matter and was facing exile.

The road to Nanzhou is extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, no exile has been able to reach Nanzhou alive.

Even if he was lucky enough to go there, he would die of a sudden illness within three months. Outsiders could not adapt to the miasma there, and only the locals could live in peace.

Li Ji wanted to exile Liang Xing to Nanzhou, which was a disguised way of taking his life.

Bu Ji couldn't just sit back and watch. She couldn't just watch Liang Xing die. Her conscience couldn't bear it.

If the real Bu Ji was still alive, he would have eloped with Liang Xing to the ends of the earth by now.

She only read those letters once and they were deeply engraved in her mind. They were true love, without a doubt, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

The top scholar never betrayed the lady he had secretly betrothed to, and never...

Bu Ji broke into the Qianqing Palace and no one dared to stop her. Everyone knew that the emperor had moved all the scrolls from the Imperial Household Department to the Yiku Palace last night just to please Concubine Bu.

Wang Huai saw that she looked hurried and was holding a letter from home in her hand, so he thought it was about the morning court.

The Emperor just had a few words with Lord Bu, but Lord Bu was so petty that he wrote a letter to complain to you.

"Oh, it's the nobleman. What a coincidence, the emperor..."

Bu Ji passed by him without stopping for a moment. He glanced at him lightly, pushed open the door and went straight to the hall.

Wang Huai couldn't catch up with her and just pretended to shout behind her.

"My young master, wait for me."

"The Emperor is reviewing memorials right now and says he doesn't want to see anyone."

He had no intention of stopping Bu Ji. Who would dare to offend the person so beloved by the emperor? He said this to the emperor inside so that the emperor would not blame him for being useless.

When Li Ji heard the voice, he put down the memorial in his hand when he didn't see anyone, straightened his cuffs, and saw that the clothes on his body were not ink-colored, but red, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This way she could never find any fault.

As soon as Bu Ji came in and saw the man sitting on the dragon throne, he had an illusion that he looked like a peacock with its feathers spread out. He was dressed in black and holding a white jade brush. There was not a drop of ink on the tip of the brush. It looked like he was deliberately showing off this beautiful brush.

No matter how nicely he dressed, she didn't have the heart to look at him now.

"emperor!"

Li Ji thought that she came to thank him specifically for the scroll, so his lips curled up slightly, his eyes were deep, his back was straight, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

"It's just some paintings, if you like them."

Bu Ji strode up to him, slapped the table, and withdrew his hand. All that was left on the table was a piece of paper stained with a few drops of tears and a few ink words on it that were smudged. One could imagine how sincere and heartfelt the person who wrote this letter was.

"Why did you exile Lord Liang? What did he do wrong?"

"If he doesn't want to marry, then don't marry. He can marry whoever he wants."

Her tone was angry at first, then turned into helplessness, and when she looked into Li Ji's eyes which suddenly turned cold, her voice trembled twice.

"After all, I don't like him anymore... Your Majesty, why bother making things difficult for Lord Liang?"

Fortunately, it came back in the end.

Li Ji looked at her with a cold gaze, and the look in his eyes was quite complicated. He stretched out his long arms and pulled the person in front of him into his arms.

"The last thing he should do is get involved with you."

Bu Ji sat on his lap and swallowed, feeling that his words were a double entendre.

The possessiveness of these ancient people was really strong.

Perhaps in Li Ji's eyes, women are objects, and she is something that belongs only to him. Liang Xing was thinking about it, and he, like a child, tried to take revenge.

"Your Majesty, you know that Lord Liang has recognized the wrong person. You are the emperor, why do you still have to argue with him?"

"Besides, my sister Bu Yu has always been concerned about Lord Liang. If her beloved is exiled, she will be so upset that she will hang herself on the beam. It's all written in the letter."

Li Ji didn't even look at the letter on the table. He just stared at her and suddenly smiled.

"Are you begging me for your sister's sake?"

Bu Ji blinked his eyes, sat in his arms, and nodded rapidly.

"If Bu Yu doesn't like Liang Xing, I don't care whether he lives or dies."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, then continue to exile Liangxing. I only have one sister, Bu Yu. If she doesn't live, then neither will I."

Li Ji suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, then slowly lowered his eyes. These words were not pleasant to hear.

Who can not live except her?

Bu Ji did not continue talking. Fortunately, Li Ji seemed to believe her words, but he did not intend to let her go.

"I know that you are not Lianghang's Gillian, but my Gillian."

Bu Ji's expression paused, his shoulders trembled twice, and he looked at Li Ji in disbelief.

When did he find out that she was not his...

"Your Majesty, you......"

Li Ji touched the strands of hair on her temples, his eyes full of doting, and spoke as if he was comforting a child.

"I will not pursue what happened before you entered the palace, but you must know that as a noble, you cannot plead for the ministers of the previous dynasty."

"Whether it's Lianghang or your father, whatever they do has nothing to do with you. You are my man."

Bu Ji understood and nodded perfunctorily with a forced smile.

Fortunately, Li Ji did not discover that she was not Bu Ji, he just knew the "secret" belonging to Bu Ji.

Truth will come to light sooner or later. She can hide it for a while but not forever.

Li Ji is the emperor. He has omnipotent abilities in this time and space. He can know whatever he wants to know. He can just send someone to check and find out whether her nickname is A Jiao.
