How can the concubine be a lady in women's clothing!

When Chi Jin put down his chopsticks, some palace people immediately stepped forward to remove the food, and served tea and fruit cakes, and then they all retreated, leaving space for the emperor and Concubine Jin.

Yan Zhuangze habitually pushed the sour jujube cake over: "Recently, it has been raining in the south of the Yangtze River, and many places have been flooded. The people I sent secretly controlled the situation, but no one has played yet."

Chi Jin picked up the sour jujube cake, swallowed it whole, and said, "Maybe it was suppressed by someone, or there may be something wrong with the local officials."

"That's right." Yan Zhuangze nodded, and then asked Chi Jin, "Did the Chi family send you a letter recently?"

"There is no message." Hearing this, Yan Zhuangze's eyes sank, and Chi Jin unconsciously drank a cup of tea before continuing: "But the Chi family sent a wooden box, the purpose of which is unknown."

Afterwards, he took the initiative to take out the wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over. His demeanor was upright and he didn't hide it at all, which made it difficult for people to doubt it.

He had thought about it a long time ago. It is impossible to hide this kind of thing from the emperor. It is better to say it half frankly, as long as he insists on not knowing or not understanding. I can't control him.

Yan Zhuangze took the wooden box, opened it and saw the five pills neatly arranged inside, his eyes flashed, and when he looked at Chi Jin, his eyes were a little more appreciative.

Putting down the wooden box, he frowned and asked thoughtfully, "I don't know the purpose, and the person who gave it to you didn't say anything? Could it be that they have some other plans?"

"No." Chi Jin shook his head, and said calmly: "It's just sent, maybe there will be a follow-up letter."

"That's true." Yan Zhuangze nodded, and now he can preliminarily conclude that it was the Chi family's idea, but he was stopped by the concubine Xian halfway, and wanted to use this to move to Chi Jin, and put it in the relationship between Jin Concubine and the outsider. The theory of dyeing is most likely a word of evasion out of necessity.

It's just that the matter of true and false dragon species is related to the country of Yan. As the emperor, Yan Zhuangze has to treat it with caution, so that the Chi family can't make a fuss about it.

He tapped the table with his fingers, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Concubine Jin, do you still remember He Chang was there? She was given a glass of poisoned wine in the end, and she was very painful before she died."

While talking, he looked at Chi Jin probingly, trying to see on her face whether she was nervous or unnatural. Fortunately, Chi Jin was normal.

Chi Jin nodded lightly, and didn't think of him because of why he often thought of himself. First, he and Yan Zhuangze were not considered husband and wife in his heart. Second, he knew early on that He Changzai would not end well and was poisoned to death. Not too bad, but...

Chi Jin put down his teacup and asked doubtfully, "Is it arranged by the emperor that the maid from Chi's family is now working in Xian's palace?"

"Yes." Yan Zhuangze put aside his doubts for the time being, looked at Chi Jin with undisguised admiration, and said frankly: "They are not simple each, so I just want to see how they will do together."

"The concubine Xian..." Chi Jin asked hesitantly, the concubine Xian has been imprisoned, how should the maid be arranged next?

Speaking of Concubine Xian, Yan Zhuangze remembered that it was already the second day now, and the usefulness of the pill had also been revealed in front of everyone, and it was almost time to move on to the next step. Abolish.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuangze didn't delay anymore, got up and said: "Let's come here today, you can go back to rest, I still have important things to deal with."

"Yes."

Yan Zhuangze watched Chi Jin leave slowly. She was tall and powerful, she was not an ordinary woman by any means, and ordinary women didn't have the guts to bet on him, and chose to abandon the dark and turn to the light without hesitation.

After he settles the matter of concubine Xian, he will open up with Chi Jin about what happened last night, and ask the imperial doctor to return her innocence, and he still owes Chi Jin an apology.

After Chi Jin walked away, Yan Zhuangze took Lin Yongquan, the leader of the imperial guards and others, and a mighty group of people headed towards the palace prison with great fanfare.

Now they are going to bring "Concubine Xian" back in a good manner.

On the Qingshi Road outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chi Jin was surrounded by a group of court ladies, walking towards the Jinyi Palace, surrounded by a worried Xia Mian who hesitated to speak.

As soon as he returned to Jinyi Palace, Xia Mian asked everyone in the palace to wait outside, dragged Chi Jin into the inner hall, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you inside? Why do you look so bad?"

Chi Jin, who had no feeling, touched his face and asked in doubt: "Is it bad? Why don't I feel anything."

Xia Mian turned around worrying about his master's heart, pressed Chi Jin on the soft bed, took the bronze mirror on the side and stuffed it over: "Look at how pale your face is, and your hands are also cold! The fever hasn't healed yet." , Why did you go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and become like this? Is the emperor embarrassing you?"

The person reflected in the bronze mirror is also copper-yellow, and it is impossible to tell whether it is white or not. Chi Jin returned the bronze mirror to Xia Mian, waved his hand and said, "How is it possible, the emperor did not make things difficult for me, but today's lunch is a bit greasy, smell Not very comfortable."

Hearing that he didn't go to be wronged, Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are there greasy things today? Didn't the emperor give special orders? The people in the imperial dining room are too careless."

Chi Jin tugged at the corner of Xia Mian's clothes, who was fuming, and smiled reassuringly: "It's okay, my reaction has decreased now, and it's okay to smell it. The imperial dining room may have forgotten..."

"What?" Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Xia Mian asked with her head tilted.

The smile on Chi Jin's face froze, the hand holding Xia Mian's sleeve couldn't help tightening, swallowed to moisturize his dry throat, and said with difficulty: "It's nothing, maybe...the emperor has already begun to doubt me."

"What?!" Xia Mian turned pale with shock, the hand holding the bronze mirror lost strength, and fell on the carpet with a muffled sound, Xia Mian asked nervously, "Why did this happen? Did the emperor tell you anything?" ?”

Chi Jin's already pale face turned even paler, and the other hand on his stomach was trembling slightly. He shook his head fiercely to stabilize his mind, and said in a trembling voice, "Today's lunch is very wrong."

"The emperor always thought that I was not in good health and didn't like food with a strong oily smell, so for more than half a month, I haven't seen anything with a strong oily smell in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but today three things appeared in a row. There are a few more plates of cold things such as crabs." Chi Jin paused, and said in a deep voice: "There are also pastries, today's pastries also have a few more sweet and sour ones."

Xia Mian covered her mouth lightly in surprise, and said luckily, "What if it's the imperial dining room..."

"How is it possible!" Chi Jin interrupted her without hesitation, "The emperor's food can be said to be the finest in the world, no matter how big the people in the imperial dining room are, it is impossible to make a mistake here, unless... the emperor deliberately Arranged."

Xia Mian wanted to say something, but opened his mouth to refute, and Chi Jin also calmed down, and after careful thought, he could find more clues: "The emperor also mentioned He Changzai, the one who had an affair with a foreigner. That, he said that he was given poisoned wine in the end, I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it might be a temptation.”

If he thought of himself at that time, as long as he showed the slightest timidity, wouldn't it be... Chi Jin's back was covered in cold sweat, and now he realized belatedly that today he walked through the gate of hell for a while Suffer!

Fortunately, fortunately.

Xia Mian was also so anxious that her eyes were red. Seeing that Chi Jin was not in the right state, she hurried over to bring a cup of tea and handed it over, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, be careful, child, the emperor didn't ask the crime, maybe it's just a matter of time." How has it passed?"

As a result, Chi Jin drank the tea and felt better. Hearing the words, he nodded and said, "It should be fine for the time being. The emperor should not have noticed anything today, but he has already become suspicious. This is no longer a place to stay for a long time. We must leave quickly .”

"Yeah!" Xia Mian nodded fiercely, puzzled and said, "How could this matter get out? Only the two of us in the palace know about it."

It is impossible for her to betray Chi Jin, so how did the emperor know it?Or is this a misunderstanding?

Seeing what she was thinking, Chi Jin smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's Concubine Xian."

"Concubine Xian?"

"Yes, Concubine Xian." Chi Jin thought of it just now, "Concubine Xian was arrested yesterday, and today the emperor has doubts about me. Is this really a coincidence? It's not such a coincidence, remember my last time Was there a trace of abortion pill in the meal?"

Xia Mian nodded, of course she remembered, fortunately she found out, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and they never found out who was the one who administered the drug, could it be...

"Is it Concubine Xian?" She said in surprise.

"It's most likely her." Thinking about it for a moment, the last time Xie Meiren bumped into him and was thrown into limbo, and the concubine from the hunting ground broke in without explanation, there are concubines everywhere in these things.

Maybe before they didn't know, Concubine Xian had already started to doubt, and Concubine Xian's arrest this time was a breakthrough point, allowing Concubine Xian to directly express her doubts about him!

So there was this scene where Yan Zhuangze doubted him.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, Chi Jin said with a dark face: "Don't worry, Yan Zhuangze is not sure yet, he is not the kind of person who trusts his words, you go and watch near the palace of Concubine Xian now, if there is any movement Come and tell me, by the way, find out what happened in the imperial dining room today."

What I didn't say is that with Yan Zhuangze's temperament, I will definitely ask him to verify it later, and completely dispel the doubts in my heart. At that time, it will be too late.

"Okay, I'll go now!" Xia Mian stepped back.

After Xia Mian went out, Chi Jin came to the study alone, spread out a huge map of Yan Kingdom on the desk, pointed at Yan City with one finger, and moved his fingertips upwards to the north along the route that was emphatically outlined on it. A remote town.

Chi Jin felt unprecedented anxiety for a moment.

Leaving is imminent.

On the side of Concubine Xian, she watched a person exactly like her enter the cell opposite her. Before she could think about it, a man in black appeared in her cell, and she fell limply when she stabbed her in the hand. , instantly lost consciousness.

The dark guard took out a black hood to cover Concubine Xian's head, and then walked out rudely with his shoulders on his shoulders. The "Concubine Xian" on the opposite side, that is, the dark guard An Liu, rolled his eyes when he saw this scene.

An Er will never know how Wenrou is written. Think about a time when she was on a mission and her leg was injured at that time, this man also resisted her and walked away, even more rude than this, and he was unwilling to let An Liu stick to him shoulders, and barely lifted her up with his hands above his head!

An Liu sat on the ground sullenly, ruffled his hair to make himself look more haggard, and quietly pretended to be a concubine Xian.

Not long after, Yan Zhuangze came to the palace prison with great fanfare, and the people carefully helped the weak "concubine Xian" out, and greeted them in front of everyone: "Concubine Xian, I blamed you wrongly, then The pills have been verified to be harmless!"

"Concubine Xian" raised her head in a daze, looked at the apologetic Yan Zhuangze, said happily with tears in her eyes: "Really? The concubine knows that the emperor will not wrong the concubine."

"Really, now I'm here to pick you up." After saying those words, Yan Zhuangze helped the concubine out of the palace prison, and sent her back with great care under the watchful eyes of everyone.

So Xia Mian went to inquire about the imperial dining room, and came to the palace of Concubine Xian, and saw the scene of Concubine Xian being supported by Yan Zhuangze back to the palace, and the little palace ladies passing by were whispering about Concubine Xian Re-favor, murder is a misunderstanding or something.

Did the master guess right?Now that concubine Xian has been brought back, doesn't that mean that the emperor believed concubine Xian's words?

Xia Mian was startled, and hurriedly went back to Jinyi Palace to report the incident, fearing that if it was too late, the emperor would attack them!

Carefully avoiding the crowd, she hurried back to Jinyi Palace, closed the door with her backhand after entering the room, and hurriedly said to Chi Jin: "It's not good, master! Concubine Xian is back, and was picked up by Yan Zhuangze himself! "

"What? You're back?!" Chi Jin, who was thinking about leaving the palace, was so shocked by the news that he almost jumped up, "Didn't he be arrested? Why are you back?"

Xia Mian panted heavily, and said non-stop, "I don't know, but I saw with my own eyes that the emperor was holding Concubine Xian's hand, and the two of them walked into Concubine Xian's palace in an intimate manner."

Chi Jin accidentally knocked over the teacup in hand, and the steaming tea accidentally touched his hand, and it cooled down quickly.

"Are you sure they're behaving intimately?" he asked, frowning.

Xia Mian said firmly, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

how so?Chi Jin pursed her lips tightly and fell into deep thought, why did Yan Zhuangze suddenly become intimate with Concubine Xian?He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would play tricks on the enemy, could it be that Concubine Xian also surrendered?

What about him?What should he do?Chi Jin asked himself, if Concubine Xian surrendered, wouldn't Yan Zhuangze doubt him even more?Or is there something hidden in it that he doesn't know?

Chi Jin took a deep breath, now his mind is very calm, and said in a deep voice: "Go and watch at Concubine Xian, and let me know when Yan Zhuangze leaves, we will go to the prison for a while first Concubine Xian, let's talk."

Xia Mian responded, "Yes, this servant will go and guard."

"Be careful, don't get caught."

In Concubine Xian's palace, Yan Zhuangze waved everyone away, and sat opposite Concubine Xian in the room.

Concubine Xian looked at Yan Zhuangze in awe and respect, and said, "Master, what should we do next?" The voice was actually the same as Concubine Xian's original voice.

"Next..." Yan Zhuangze told him all the things he interrogated, so that his subordinates could better pretend to be Concubine Xian to communicate with Qing Kingdom, and finally ordered: "Don't expose it."

The seemingly delicate "concubine Xian" bowed slightly, and said loudly: "I take orders, my subordinates will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" The sense of disobedience was extremely strong.

So far the plan has been very smooth, Yan Zhuangze showed a faint smile, helped her up, and said: "Proceed with caution, I will go back first."

Yan Zhuangze walked out of the gate of Concubine Xian's palace, and Lin Yongquan followed closely. He turned his head and told Manager Lin, "You go to the Imperial Hospital and call Dr. Zhang, Jinyi..."

"Report to the emperor! Prime Minister Lin has something to ask to see outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation!" Before Yan Zhuangze could finish speaking, a guard suddenly rushed over and knelt on one knee and let out a "bang", but he didn't care. Suo Jue Ban continued: "The prime minister said something happened in Jiangnan, and the situation is urgent, please go there immediately!"

"Jiangnan?" Yan Zhuangze's eyes were serious, his brows were tightly frowned and he said, "Go back immediately!"

Lin Yongquan who was at the side asked, "Your Majesty, do you still need to look for the imperial doctor?"

"No need for now, let's go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first." Chi Jin can go to solve it at any time, but the Jiangnan matter can't wait. It must be no small matter for Prime Minister Lin to look for him so eagerly.

Perhaps, it was those people who started, and the country of Yan was about to fall into chaos.

Yan Zhuangze walked quickly and led the people away in a hurry. At the same time, at the corner not far away, a court lady hurried away with her waist down.
