accomplice

When the lady saw him, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Ji'er."

When she saw that he was about to kneel down, she hurried over and pulled him up.

Her enthusiasm and joy were all written on her face, her face was full of brilliance, and her eyes were full of concern, she asked him: "I haven't seen you for so long, and finally came back, are you okay?"

It was the first time Zuo Ji met her face to face, and it was a little uncomfortable to see her so enthusiastic.

But she didn't care at all, but was more eager to know more about his recent situation, and asked again: "I heard that you were also injured, have you recovered for a few days?"

"As good as it gets."

He didn't blame him for hurting Zhong Sheng at all, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and guilty.

According to seniority, this is his aunt.

But she is the lord of the first house, so it is impossible for him to call her aunt directly.

It seems that Qi Luo mentioned to him, Chongfei Empress, right?

Is it called that directly?

Concubine Chong looked at him again and again, and looked again and again.

Zuo Ji felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and just about to say that he had to leave first, but she said again: "Come, come with me to see Zhong Sheng."

what?

Concubine Chong saw his reaction and asked, "Why, didn't you come to visit him?"

"Yes, but..."

"Come, come, come with me."

Concubine Chong arrested him without saying a word, he was quite at a loss, but there was nothing he could do, who called her an elder, and she couldn't just leave like this, so he obediently followed.

Zhong Sheng was very happy to see Zuo Ji.

But Zuo Ji didn't give him a good face.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Sheng didn't know what was wrong, and wanted to ask, but it was inconvenient to ask because of the presence of Concubine Chong.

"Mother and concubine can go out of the palace?"

"Thanks to your father's sympathy, I know you are seriously injured, so let me come out and walk." The steward brought a stool, and the empress Chongfei sat down and asked, "How is your health?"

Seeing the worry in Concubine Chong's eyes, Zuo Ji guessed that she didn't know that this son was not his own.

More than that.

Seeing him being so enthusiastic just now, I'm afraid I've never heard of those ridiculous things between him and Zhong Sheng.

"Thank you for your mother's concern, my son is still in good health, almost in good shape."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zuo Ji.

He really cared about Zuo Ji.

He has been raised at home for so long, and can't see Zuo Ji, he really misses him very much.

But now that they finally met each other, Zuo Ji turned a cold face at him, which made his heart flustered.

Zuo Ji's face was quite gloomy.

He was standing next to Concubine Chong, without even looking at Zhong Sheng.

Zhong Sheng really wanted to ask him what happened.

But looking at Concubine Chong, she swallowed the words again.

Is it because he hasn't been to see him?

But it's impossible.

Zuo Ji knew about his situation.

I thought to myself, I must ask him carefully after Concubine Chong left, but I was quite surprised to hear Concubine Chong mention it suddenly.

Concubine Chong mentioned to Zhong Sheng: "About Ji'er, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Zuo Ji who was beside him really wanted to leave.

As soon as I heard that it was about me, my attention came back.

Zhong Sheng was quite confused, he glanced at Zuo Ji, and said to Concubine Chong, "Concubine mother, please tell me."

"What happened to you this time is too dangerous. Every time I think about it, I always feel terrified."

Concubine Chong said to him: "I've thought about it, I want to ask you to ask for someone to stay by Ji'er's side to protect his safety."

"protect me?"

What kind of operation is this.

He was quite surprised, looking at Zhong Sheng, Zhong Sheng was also puzzled, looked back at him, and said to Concubine Chong: "Protect him?"

"En." Concubine Chong nodded.

"Didn't you say that Ji'er doesn't remember anyone or anything? That's why he suffered this time. You two meet often, and the other party wants to murder you, so naturally you want to start with him."

"You two are lucky this time, you survived the catastrophe, what can you do next? You can't live by luck alone, can you?"

It makes sense.

Zhong Sheng had no comment.

But if he wants to find someone to protect Zuo Ji, shouldn't he discuss with Zuo Shicheng before deciding on the candidate?

Why did you ask someone directly from him as soon as you opened your mouth?

"Who does the concubine mother plan to send to him?"

Concubine Chong smiled lightly, glanced at her, and asked, "Are you here?"

Soon, someone walked in.

Hearing that the footsteps were steady, not hurried or slow, Zhong Sheng raised his eyes, and when he looked at someone, his eyes immediately changed.

Zuo Ji was pleasantly surprised and said "Yo".

Mo Jia cupped his hands and bowed to Empress Chongfei and Zhong Sheng respectively. Zhong Sheng was extremely displeased, his brows were always tight, and he said to Empress Chongfei, "Why him?"

"Lu Hui is your confidant, and you have to rely on him for many things. Qi Luo is young and too aggressive, so he may not get along well with Ji'er. After all, Mo Jia has a calm temper, which is the best fit."

Concubine Chong didn't intend to give him a chance to refuse, and said: "The three of them are the ones you can trust the most, aren't you? Can you rest assured that others will follow?"

Zhong Sheng's eyes were full of anger, his teeth were clenched, and he glared at Mo Jia, signaling with his eyes to ask him to push the job away.

Concubine Chong saw it in her eyes and smiled again.

"How about we let Ji'er decide for himself?"

"I would like to, of course I would."

Zuo Ji couldn't wait.

With a happy face, he answered the call immediately.

Hearing this, Zhong Sheng gave him a hard look.

This warning he had received.

But he doesn't care.

Picked up a big baby, can you not be happy?

He also asked Mo Jia directly: "Where do you live? I'll accompany you to pack your luggage now."

This hatred pulls...

Mo Jia frowned, a little flustered, embarrassed, and looked at Zhong Sheng.

Zhong Sheng's complexion was extremely ugly at this time, and it seemed that he was about to explode.

Don't stay here for long.

Mo Jia thought about it, and was just thinking about how to find a way to retreat first, but fortunately Empress Concubine Chong was considerate and said, "Yes."

When Zuo Ji heard this, he was very happy and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Madam!"

When Mo Jia heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and slipped away.

As soon as he came out, he didn't stop walking, and went out of the mansion directly.

When the two stood outside the gate of the mansion, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Mo Jia was because of Zhong Sheng, and Zuo Ji, he knew it was because of Concubine Chong.

The two smiled at each other.

"Don't be too nervous, she just cares about you."

"Thank you for your concern." Zuo Ji sneered.

At the end, he suddenly thought, and said to Mo Jia: "By the way, the first time I saw you, you belonged to Li Xi, and then you became Li Jue's, and after that, you said you belonged to Zhong Sheng." , Qi Luo told me later that you belonged to Concubine Chong, so... who are you?"

"Now I'm yours."

Zuo Ji likes to hear this.

There was light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Shrugging his eyebrows, he suddenly had an idea. He stretched out his hand to grab Mo Jia's arm, but Mo Jia avoided it, frowning: "Why?"

"Tsk, don't despise me."

Zuo Ji had a problem with his dodging.

Insisting on taking him over, at the end, with a bright smile, Zuo Ji said, "Next, how about we walk back?"

what?

Mo Jia was inexplicable.

"You don't know, I've only been out once in so long since I've been back."

Zuo Ji complained, and with a flattering face, he smiled cutely at him: "Take me around, and buy me something delicious?"

This greedy mouth immediately made Mo Jia lose his temper.

He didn't say whether to answer or not, but broke free again, but it wasn't because of disgust, but because he wanted to pick something up.

"Put out your hand."

Zuo Ji looked at the things in his hand, not knowing what he wanted to do, he hesitated and stretched out his hand.

This is a small gadget made of leather that looks like an arrow in the sleeve.

In two rows.

Inside are very slender silver needles.

Mo Jia helped him tie it on his forearm, then handed him the supply bag of silver needles, and told him: "Remember, one row at a time, can be fired twice in a row, and replenish it in time after use. In addition, these needles are all Anesthesia is applied, so you have to be very careful when filling it.”

sure.

Zuo Ji looked at this hidden weapon, he was handsome and liked it very much, and asked him: "Where did you get this?"

"I made it."

"Awesome, made it just for me?"

Mo Jia didn't answer him.

Instead, point to the little knot and teach him, "When this rope is pulled, the needle will shoot."

Zuo Ji stretched out his arm and tried it, but nothing happened.

He frowned slightly and looked at Mo Jia. Mo Jia didn't say anything, just stared at him.

He pulled it again, but there was still no response. He said to Mo Jia, "Brother, you can't do this."

"What did I tell you just now?"

"That's it." Zuo Ji raised his hand, and all the needles went out with a "swoosh".

It happened that the groom drove around to pick them up, and the horse was tied up and howling.

The coachman was startled and jumped out of the car

Zuo Ji was shocked when he saw the accident.

This time it was all right, the horse was anesthetized and knelt down.

They really have to walk back.

He thought Mo Jia would scold him, but he didn't.

Not only that, Mo Jia led the way, and even made a special detour, bringing him to the busiest market.

After eating watermelon, biting sesame seed cakes, and a full stomach, Zuo Ji swaggered down the street with a satisfied face.

Suddenly he heard someone yelling candied haws, his eyes lit up immediately.

The last time I ate it, it was really delicious, and he knew the taste. He quickly stretched his neck and looked around, but he didn't see the hawker, which was strange.

He glanced at the big tree beside him.

Mo Jia also heard the yelling, so she turned her head for a moment, and when she turned back, the person was gone, and when she was nervous to look for it, she was on the branch of a tree, and she became anxious immediately.

"What are you doing up there?"

"Look for candied haws."

"What kind of candied haws are you, growing on a tree."

"That! That!" Zuo Ji found the target, pointed to the distance, and was anxious to go down, only to realize that he had climbed so high.

How to do?

I don't know how to understand.

He panicked and had no choice but to reach out to Mo Jia to hug him. Mo Jia had no choice but to kick on the tree and use his strength to jump up and hug him down.

"Don't be fooling around..."

Before Mo Jia had time to train him, he disappeared again.

Zuo Ji ran directly to drag him the candied haws seller from afar.

"Give money."

Zuo Ji just said a word to Mo Jia, and then started picking candied haws.

Depressed, Mo Jia asked the peddler for the price and settled the money.

After Zuo Ji picked it out, he pulled one out and put it in Mojia's mouth.

Mo Jia still wanted to continue scolding him, but just as he opened his mouth, he accidentally gagged him.

The sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue, and the base of his ears turned red because of his thin skin.

"Is it tasty?"

"acid!"

Zuo Ji was delighted to see him so wrong.

Chewing candied haws, he dragged Mojia to continue shopping.

The two wandered around the downtown for a whole afternoon.

After eating and drinking enough, Zuo Ji actually became interested in the brothel that hadn't opened yet, Mo Jia didn't let him mess around, and hurriedly grabbed and twisted him, taking him away.

It was already evening when we returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Talking and laughing, as soon as they entered the mansion, they were surrounded by guards swarming up, and the two were startled for a moment.

Zuo Ji didn't understand the situation, loudly: "What are you doing?"

The guards in front of him consciously moved out of the way, Zuo Shicheng approached, let out a "hum", narrowed his old eyes, and said, "You are really good, pretending to be Zuo Ji, lurking and following His Highness back, take all our Everyone is lied to!"

what? !

Not knowing why, Zuo Ji looked at Mo Jia in a panic.

Just listening, Zuo Shicheng yelled: "Take it for me!"
