morning thoughts

When Ji Yu rushed back from Daying, his general rushed into the city after the city gate was closed.

Before he arrived at Shizi Mansion, he saw Fuhai pulling the carriage from a distance and didn't know where he was going. When he saw Ji Yu, he hurriedly stopped his movements and came over.

"My lord, you are back."

In order to catch up with his feet, Cheng Jiyu had to ride a horse, and it was really uncomfortable that his internal organs were all crowded together.

Taking a breath, he turned over from the horse and landed, handed the whip in his hand to Yinsheng, and asked as he walked into the mansion, "You want to go out so late? But what happened?"

Outside is not a place to talk, Fuhai ordered Yinsheng to settle the carriage, and he followed the prince back to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the study, he hurriedly handed the letter from the princess to Ji Yu.

Ji Yu received the letter, looked up at Fuhai, the anxiety on his face did not subside, and he said tightly: "My lord, I can't wait for you and dare not peep in private, but I heard that it is related to the young lady, so I am afraid that I will not dare Delayed."

Fu Hai lied, Ji Yu knew him too well, if he really didn't know he wouldn't be so anxious, but he didn't dare to tell him that the matter was urgent, after careful consideration, Ji Yu had a clue in his mind.

After reading the letter, Fu Hai let out a faint cold snort, and Fu Hai couldn't help being excited.

Ji Yu rolled the letter into a ball in his hands, with a rare look of displeasure on his face, and asked aloud: "Fuhai, you have been with me for so many years, and you have never disobeyed my will in the slightest. You got the news early in the morning, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me with my mother's handwriting when things got to this point?"

His tone was indifferent but could make people feel a bit heartbroken. Over the years, Fu Hai has taken care of Ji Yu even more than Annan Wang and his wife. When such a thing happened, the closest people around him kept it from him, so how could he not be heartbroken .

Fu Hai bowed his head and knelt on the ground with a plop: "My lord, how can this old slave be unfaithful to you? It's just something that the princess can't help. How can you be their master when you are far away in Huajing? The second son and the Zhao family I don't know how to persuade the prince to send the young lady to Beijing, but the matter has not reached the point of no return, let alone the princess..."

Ji Yu was very angry, but he was reluctant to scold Fu Hai, his chest was heaving with anger, he was not angry with Fu Hai, nor his mother, but he was angry with King Annan who could intimidate Li Chuan!

"Isn't it enough to send me one?" Ji Yu shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "Forget it, it's better to be by my side than by theirs. You should get up too."

Fu Hai got up and was also worried: "Your Majesty, this servant will send someone to clean up the house in the past two days, and you can live in directly when the lady comes. I also heard that the second son will come to see the lady off. I am afraid that he will stay in the capital as well." some time."

After Fu Hai finished speaking, he retreated, and Ji Yu sat in the study for a long time in silence, his shoulders drooping weakly.

He never thought that sacrificing himself would not be enough to make them feel at ease, and even Ji Li would not let it go...

—

One month later, after the general replaced all the prince's forces in the army, the prince had to stop temporarily.

As soon as summer came, ice mirrors were prepared in the East Palace, and the anxiety that Ji Yu was carrying when he came in from the outside was easily dissipated, and the crown prince ordered someone to serve a bowl of iced lotus seed soup to Ji Yu.

"My son should also try it. Except for the father and mother, this is the first one in the palace." The prince smiled and talked to Ji Yu, and he added another bowl.

The prince was still talking to Ji Yu with a smile on his face, but it was not difficult to see that he was holding on to his spirit, thinking that the general's actions like breaking the boat had really hurt the prince.

"The crown prince is the son of a legitimate son. Naturally, your majesty and the empress think of the crown prince first." Ji Yu took a spoonful of lotus seed soup from an ice bowl and put it into his mouth, his lips and teeth were filled with the coolness and the sweetness of lotus seeds.

"Ling Yu's grounding has been pardoned." The prince said casually after swallowing the lotus seeds.

Hearing this, Ji Yu put down the ice bowl in his hand, looked at the prince, and laughed lightly after a while: "I heard that Concubine De begged for a long time, but His Majesty is getting older, but his heart is softer than before."

The crown prince leaned over and held Ji Yu's wrist, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is not surprised. I was fighting against the great general, and my son just made some suggestions in the middle. Now Ling Yu has been released again. Regardless of previous suspicions, I'm afraid that no matter how difficult Ling Yu's temperament is to get close to Gu Gu, after all, the prince has benefited a lot from it."

Ji Yu looked down at his wrist being strangled by the prince with a circle of red marks, slowly pulled his hand out forcefully, and said: "The prince is joking, the second highness will not get close to the prince after he is released. Is the subject close? In the final analysis, His Royal Highness still has the support of the General, and there is nothing we can do about it."

The prince smiled indifferently, and then said: "That's right, there are always some things that are not the last step, and no one can be sure. Whether the general will be Ling Yu's backer or a burden in the end depends on fate." gone."

When Ji Yu came out of the palace, he was greeted with hot breath. He couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe his forehead. After seeing the prince, he was always absent-minded. When he saw Fu Hai, he calmed down and got on the carriage.

Fu Hai fanned Ji Yu to enjoy the cool air, and the curtains on the window were raised and lowered by the wind, making a pattering sound. Ji Yu raised his hand and lifted the thin curtains to look out. The two sides of the long street were bustling. Occasionally, he saw two Huaxin girls buying rouge and gouache in front of a small stall, Ji Yu raised the corners of his mouth, and put down the curtain again.

"Ji Li is about to enter Beijing these days."

Fu Hai turned his face sideways, retracted his gaze, and replied: "The servant has already settled the appointment of the son, and only waits for the young lady to enter the capital. The son does not need to worry."

"Is there any clue about what I asked you to inquire about last time?"

Fu Hai shook his head, and said: "Li Chuan really has nothing wrong with it. It seems that the Second Young Master came to Beijing this time to escort the young lady, and he didn't have any contact with anyone during this time."

Ji Yu paused for a moment, he didn't believe that Ji Jingyang's rash entry into Beijing had no purpose, not to mention the more suspicious things were that could not be found out.

He sighed heavily, closed his eyes and did not speak again.

The most important thing right now is not to let Ji Li have the opportunity to marry the prince. The father will not care about himself, let alone cherish a daughter, and Ji Jingyang will not. He can't go back to Lichuan, even if he has a son. What's the use of a name? If something happens to the father in Lichuan in the future, Ji Jingyang or Ji Xun are the most likely to inherit it.

If it is Ji Xun, maybe there is still a turnaround, but if it is Ji Jingyang, that is the worst. What's more, the prince has always been ambiguous towards him. Although he is close, it is definitely not him. contacted.
