morning thoughts

The two of them struggled until late last night before going to bed, but Ling Chao had something on his mind that he couldn't sleep well, so he got up yawning and put on his clothes lightly after Yin Shi.

Just as he raised the bed curtain, Ji Yu also moved lazily, and asked in a daze, "What time is it?"

Seeing him wake up, Ling Chao smiled and touched his face coaxingly: "Just now Yinshi, if you sleep a little longer, I have to go back to the palace before Father gets up."

Hearing this, Ji Yu cheered up, and when he stood up, he unconsciously took a breath, froze there a little ashamed, sighed and told him: "Be careful when you go back."

Ling Chaoen let out a sound, raised his hand to rub his buttocks and said in a low voice, "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Ji Yu blinked, paused for a moment, really uncomfortable, frowned and shook his head, said: "It's okay, but my waist is a little sore, hurry up and don't miss the hour."

Ling Chao moved his hands to his waist and kneaded him gently for a while, then saw that he closed his eyes and dozed off comfortably again, so he felt relieved, spoke to him softly, and left leave.

Ji Yu nodded in a daze, and it was almost noon when he woke up again.

Fu Hai had something on his mind, he had been feeling uneasy since Ling Chao left, and he caught up with the eldest son sleeping until this time before getting up, thinking that the third prince had told him not to wake the eldest son before leaving, and that the eldest son would have to prepare water for a bath after waking up... ...

Fu Hai panicked inexplicably in his heart, and while the prince came out of the shower to prepare meals, he asked tentatively after careful consideration: "Senior, well, what's wrong?"

"Cough," Ji Yu, who was drinking tea, took a sip, raised his head to meet Shang Fuhai's incomprehensible eyes, put down his teacup and said solemnly, "I'm fine, I'm not uncomfortable at all."

Fu Hai raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

There is nothing to hide about him and Ling Chao, not to mention that Fuhai is the person he serves closely, and he needs to know sooner or later, but seeing Fuhai's appearance, Ji Yu feels that some things should seep slowly. good.

Counting the time, Yinsheng is probably approaching the territory of Lichuan. The driving of horses and horses will naturally be much slower, and it will take half a month. Ji Yu was reluctant when he came, so he traveled all the way to Huajing Shengsheng. It took more than a month to get there, and I got sick in Huajing just like that.

But Yinsheng must not be so slow, he was ordered to go, and it only took five days to rush back to Lichuan. During this time, two horses ran to death, and he was hungry on the way, but he just hurriedly settled and continued on his way.

Originally, there was no need to be in such a hurry, but Yinsheng lost contact with Li Chuan's secret guards, and the news could not be delivered or passed in. There were twelve secret guards including Yinsheng, and four of them followed the prince. Hua Jing and the other eight followed King Annan, and suddenly lost contact unless something happened to King Annan.

The matter was so important that Yinsheng didn't dare to talk nonsense when he didn't have definite news, so he had to hurry back.

Ji Yu rubbed his brows with a headache, and asked, "There is still no news from Lichuan? Is there news from Yinsheng?"

Before Fu Hai could answer, another hidden guard rushed in, knelt down in front of Ji Yu and reported in a low voice: "My lord, something happened to Li Chuan."

Ji Yu froze for a moment, curled his fingers slightly, and said, "Did something happen to the father?"

After getting the response, Ji Yu's face darkened. All his previous conjectures were confirmed at this moment. Fu Hai stood aside and his blood faded from fright, and asked with a pale face: "What is the prince going to do?" ?”

Ji Yu raised his hand and pressed it on the table, he laughed angrily, and said, "What else can I do?"

He didn't want to take care of Li Chuan's mess for a long time, but his mother was still in Li Chuan, and with Ji Jingyang's character, he would use his mother as a threat to force him.

He had no choice, not to mention that there must be a reason for Ji Jingyang's sudden mutiny, and he really thought that no one could do anything to him at this moment.

A rare look of hostility appeared in Ji Yu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Fuhai, get ready to sneak out of Huajing tonight, let's go back to Lichuan."

Fu Hai anxiously said: "Your Majesty, what should Miss do? What's more, Your Majesty can't go out of Beijing. If His Majesty finds out about it, he will die."

Ji Yu said softly: "A Li can't leave Huajing anymore, Li Chuan is dangerous, and His Majesty will never embarrass a daughter's family, not to mention that having A Li may make His Majesty feel more at ease. It is up to us to decide, this catastrophe cannot be escaped."

Fu Hai felt pain in his heart, "My son..."

Ji Yu didn't care about feeling sorry for himself, but he felt a lot more guilty when he thought of Ling Chaoshi. He had already guessed that it might be the result of today. This time Li Chuan's life and death are uncertain, and maybe those words he said will not be counted.

He sighed and asked the hidden guards to leave the city early, and left Fu Hai and the guards in the mansion behind to watch over Ji Li. As for the forces fighting Ji Jingyang, they can't go head-to-head, they can only outsmart them. Then he thought of Ji Xun again. .

—

The affairs in the palace were busy, even if the emperor did not appoint a crown prince, he would still be unable to take care of some affairs by himself, Ling Jun couldn't count on it, so naturally only Ling Chao could help.

Since Ling Xuan went crazy that day, he has calmed down a lot in the past few days, and he no longer has much rejection of Ling Chao and Ling Jun in front of others, but the emperor was afraid and did not arrange any errands for Ling Xuan.

That night, Ling Xuan disregarded the etiquette and filed a complaint in front of the palace, causing Ling Chao to know about it, so he had no choice but to go to find out.

The emperor's body was not good enough to sleep earlier, so he was naturally displeased to be woken up. Seeing Ling Yu kneeling in front of him, and squinting at Ling Chao who was standing next to him, his face darkened when he thought of his troubles one after another. , "It's so late, what are you fussing about?"

Ling Yu quickly explained: "Father, it's not that I'm going to make a fuss, it's really a big matter, I must not hide it and report it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, motioning for Ling Xuan to continue talking.

Only then did Ling Xuan calm down, and replied: "I just got the news that Prince Annan's son went out of the city overnight and sneaked into Lichuan."

When he said this, he looked up at Ling Chaoyi and said: "The third brother has always been on good terms with Ji Shizi, so he really doesn't know about it, does he? Or is he deliberately keeping it secret?"

The emperor valued Li Chuan, and Li Chuan could be said to be the only fertile side of the Jin Dynasty, which is why the emperor valued and feared it.It stands to reason that if there is any change in Lichuan, it will naturally be reported to the imperial court, but Ling Yu knows and does not report it. If Ji Jingyang can rule the entire Lichuan, it will only benefit Ling Yu. He is so selfish, how can Ji Yu not see through it? The stakes in this.

Besides, King Annan is still in the hands of Ji Jingyang, if the court insists on sending troops, the consequences will be disastrous.
