morning thoughts

When Ling Chao went back, he saw an inner eunuch coming out of the Crown Prince's womb. When the man saw Ling Chao, he nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way.

The crown prince raised his eyelids when he heard the movement, and the movement of his hand didn't stop to make a circle on the booklet, and asked, "Did Prince Ji go back?"

Ling Chao replied "Yes" expressionlessly.

Hearing his reply so straightforwardly, the prince suddenly raised his head to look at Ling Chao, and said with a sneer: "You are not hiding it, but I never realized that you still have such abilities before."

When Ji Yu came to the East Palace, the prince thought he was here to beg to see him, but after turning around, he was only looking for Ling Chao. The two were fighting each other, and the prince had no good face when he saw Ling Chao again.

Ling Chao lowered his eyes, ignored the crown prince's words, and said flatly: "It's all thanks to the crown prince for not giving up."

The crown prince glanced at him, disliked his appearance the most, frowned and ignored him.

Ling Chao lowered his head and continued to read the book that hadn't been turned over a few pages, but he wondered in his heart whether those things could be done.

Ji Yu went to Concubine Shu's palace in person and told Concubine Shu the names of the two, hoping that Concubine Shu could reconcile them.

Concubine Shu was eager to pave the way for Ling Jun, and she knew that there were people in the court who were good at handling things, but she was a little hesitant when she heard that it was the two officials.

Ji Yu was not in a hurry for success, but instead gave Concubine Shu time to think about it, got up and left Concubine Shu's place after finishing the business.

Concubine Shu thought about it for a long time, and then she found someone to arrange this matter. The official position is not too high. It is not difficult to arrange it, and it does not attract attention. After it was done, she asked someone to pass the news to Ji Yu.

When he returned to Chaohui Hall after a day of tossing, Fuhai had already prepared hot water for Ji Yu to bathe in. Fu Hai sent out the irrelevant people and soaked Ji Yu in hot water with a towel to scrub him.

It was steaming hot, and my body also relaxed, with one arm resting on the side of the bathtub, and the other hand lazily loosening my hair aside, closing my eyes and resting my mind.

"My lord, the news from outside has come back."

Ji Yu's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't raise his eyes: "How do you say?"

"I heard that someone assassinated the Second Highness last night, but he was unsuccessful and only suffered some minor injuries."

He half turned around to look at Fuhai, his watery eyes were full of inquiry, and he sneered and said, "Assassination? The matter of Qian Yue hasn't been investigated clearly yet, and Ling Yu has encountered this difficulty again. Huajing is not peaceful!"

Ji Yu got up from the bathtub, raised his hand to put on the pajamas hanging on the screen, closed the skirt and came out from the side room, not caring about the moisture in his hair, sat on the edge of the bed and poured a cup of hot tea Moisten the throat.

Fu Hai took a dry cloth towel and wiped Ji Yu's hair: "I have already started to arrange the things that the son told me, and I think it will be effective in a few days."

Ji Yu nodded, thought for a moment and then asked, "Did the assassination of Qian Yue and Ling Yu be done by the same group?"

Fu Hai's hand movements paused slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This matter has not been clarified yet, but judging from the method, it seems to be the work of some Jianghu sects."

It doesn't hurt people's lives, but it is more vicious than taking the other party's life.

Ji Yu was silent, but he was full of curiosity about this matter in his heart. It is not surprising that Qian Yue himself did evil and attracted enemies, but who could eat a bear's heart and leopard would dare to attack the prince.

The time when these two incidents happened was more like a rescue for himself. Ji Yu didn't have a clue, but he was sure that no matter who did it, it was not against him.

—

"Your Majesty," Yun An staggered and ran into Zhaohui Hall, he didn't care to pick up his shoes even if he lost them, and shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he rushed to the gate of the palace: "Master, hurry up and save my Highness."

As soon as Ji Yu came out of the house, Yun An threw himself at his feet, immediately supported him, and hurriedly asked: "Isn't the third highness at the prince's place at the moment? Did you offend the prince?"

Yun An got up and rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face twice, sobbing with a red nose: "The Second Highness broke into the East Palace today, but for some reason, he started to attack the Third Highness."

When Ling Yu was involved, Ji Yu didn't dare to delay, Tibu and Yun'an walked out of Zhaohui Palace, paused when they crossed the palace gate, turned around and told Fuhai to invite Concubine Shu.

As soon as the two arrived in front of the gate of the East Palace, they were stopped by the guards of the East Palace. Yun An hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother, please do me a favor. Our Highness is still inside."

The guards sized Yun An's eyes and did not move away. When their eyes fell on Ji Yu, they hesitated for a moment, but they didn't dare to let him in without the prince's order. They puffed out their chests and yelled with confidence: "This is the East Palace. No one is allowed to enter without the order of the crown prince."

Yun An was in a hurry, and when he wanted to beg again, Ji Yu stopped him and blocked him.

Seeing his stern expression, the guard murmured in his heart. Seeing that he refused to move away, Ji Yu didn't bother him, and kicked the guard's lower abdomen. If he dared to attack, how could he have thought that a weak prince could kick people with his feet.

Seeing Ji Yu stepping in, he gritted his teeth in pain and said, "My lord, this is the East Palace!"

Ji Yu sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes, he cursed angrily, "Stay here and watch if I can get in!"

The guard couldn't advance or retreat, Ji Yu rushed in, and Yun An rushed in to lead him.

When Ji Yu saw Ling Chao, he walked up to Ling Chao without looking at the prince. Ling Chao's left shoulder was stabbed by a sword, his face was pale, and his lips were bloodless.

Ji Yu helped him to sit down beside him, gritted his teeth tightly, and ordered: "Yun'an, go and invite the imperial physician."

The tense atmosphere froze after Ji Yu appeared, Yun An nodded to Ling Chao, and went back to ask the imperial physician.

He just stood up, Ling Chao stretched out his hand to grab his fingertips, and shook his head at Ji Yu.

Fearing that Ji Yu would do something impulsive, he covered the wound with all his strength, then took a breath and said, "I'm fine."

The end of Ling Chao's eyes was flushed, and he sucked in the pain gently, he curled up slightly when hooking Ji Yu's finger with his bloodstained hand, opened his mouth and said a few words silently.

The prince looked between Ling Yu and Ji Yu, and after a while, he asked, "My lord, you are so courageous, even the East Palace dares to break in."

Ling Yu was still holding the sword in his hand, and glared at the prince angrily. When he saw Ji Yu coming again, his face was gloomy again, and his eyes also turned gloomy.

Ji Yu bowed his head to the prince, and said coldly: "I think the prince should be happy when I come to the East Palace."

At this moment, Ji Yu's words were undoubtedly the biggest stimulus to Ling Yu. When he looked at the prince again, his gaze was like a sharp knife, with a chill: "Is the prince really guarding against me like this, and wants to put me to death?"

The prince glanced at Ling Yu, resentful in his heart, no matter how slow he was, he could sense that something was wrong with him.

Ling Yu is used to being willful and impulsive, but he will not really dare to face him with swords and swords. How could Ling Yu not know about the crime of murdering the prince? Today, Ling Chao first instigated, and then Ji Yu came to fan the flames , this matter must be inseparable from the two of them.

"Confused!" The prince pointed to the sword in Ling Yu's hand, and cursed: "You still don't throw the sword away, do you want to wait for the emperor to deal with you personally?"

As soon as the prince's words fell, the emperor and Concubine Shu entered the East Palace, and saw Ling Yu holding a sword and Ling Chao injured.

"Bastard, do you dare to wear a sword in the palace?" The emperor stared at Ling Yu with a complex expression, his eyes were gloomy, and Ling Yu took two steps backwards, and the sword in his hand fell off with a clang.

"Father," Ling Yu hurriedly responded, not knowing how to explain.

hiss-

Ling Chao couldn't help snorting, and attracted the emperor to look at Ling Yu, his eyes softened a little, and he beckoned a few inner eunuchs to send Ling Chao back to Zhaohui Hall. Concubine Shu was worried and accompanied Ling Chao back to Zhaohui Hall.

Ji Yu's eyes followed Ling Chao's figure, and he didn't look back until he disappeared. The East Palace will be the emperor's own family, and it doesn't make sense for him to be here.

Respectfully reported back to the emperor: "Since Your Majesty has come, I will step back first." After speaking, he looked at Ling Yu and said with lingering fear: "The Second Highness is too reckless. Fortunately, the Third Highness blocked it today. If Ru hurts the prince, then what to do."

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked away from Ji Yu. It was useless for him to say anything else at this time. The emperor must have preconceived that Ling Chao was blocking the sword for him. If he defended Ling Yu at this time, he would only cause trouble for himself.

Besides, the prince's eyes darkened when he thought of Ling Yu's appearance when he came today.

The emperor wanted to say something, but fell silent after hearing Ji Yu's words, and finally granted Ji Yu's request after a while.

Seeing Ji Yu's return, Concubine Shu immediately got up and dragged Ji Yu to ask: "Has Your Majesty dealt with the Second Highness?"

After a pause, he turned around and looked at Ling Chao who was lying on the bed, crying with tears in his eyes: "Poor Third Highness, being bullied like this, after all, my palace is useless and can't protect Third Highness. "

Concubine Shu cleverly invited the emperor directly after listening to the beginning and end, instead of sending someone to the East Palace to stop the matter is enough to explain everything. She and Ling Chao are just mother and son in name, and have no real relationship. It is precisely because of this that Ji Yu asked Fuhai to invite him If she were someone else, the emperor would definitely be suspicious.

Ji Yu was impatient to deal with her, so he supported Concubine Shu to sit down with his backhand, and comforted him: "Concubine Shu loves Your Highness the Third Highness, but there is no need to worry, the imperial physician has already diagnosed and there is no serious problem, but Your Majesty is afraid that you will be very angry. Second Highness dares to belittle the prince so arrogantly."

Concubine Shu's heart moved, she looked at Ji Yu, saw him smiling and nodding to herself, and realized that His Majesty is the most important thing at this meeting, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then patiently told Ling Chao a few words , left in a hurry.

Ji Yu glanced at Yun An, and Yun An instructed the palace servants to retreat outside the house and wait.

Ling Chao leaned against the head of the bed with hanging eyes, his lowered eyelashes were black and curled up, his shoulders were wrapped in bandages, and his white and smooth skin was exposed under the open pajamas.

The blue and white lips moved, and a voice overflowed from the throat: "Shizi."

Ji Yu stood beside him, only looking at him, both of them remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Ling Chao raised his hand and hooked his hand, Ji Yu was worried that he would get hurt and dared not keep his face sullen, pinched the center of his brows impatiently, and sighed: "How can Your Highness not love yourself so much? "

Ling Chao pursed his lips and smiled: "I want to live a good life now, how dare I not cherish myself, it is really a last resort because the situation has changed."

Ji Yu got up and helped him lie down, tucked the quilt before asking: "Why is Ling Yu like this today?"
