That day, Mr. Li Ge talked with the little emperor all afternoon in the attic of the stone canal. No one else knew what they talked about.

Two days later, the empress dowager returned to the palace. After listening to the reports from the servants, when the emperor went to pay her respects, she asked him why he had such a long talk with Mr. Li Ge.

The emperor curled his lips, and looked a little dissatisfied with Mr. Li Ge, and said, "He thinks that I haven't studied hard recently, and taught me a few words. I went out of the palace to give birth to my cousin, and I was also scolded..."

The Empress Dowager said, "You are the emperor, and your status is noble. How can you go out of the palace at will like this. Mr. Ge scolded each other very well."

The emperor said aggrievedly, "But every day in the palace is also very boring. That day my cousin took me to visit Zhuque Street. Zhuque Street is very lively..."

The queen mother may have known that the emperor was lying, but she didn't say much after that, and continued to maintain the superficial kung fu of motherly kindness and filial piety.

In August, Zhao Zhili went to Jiangnan to meet his relatives, and only the emperor and Ji Heng were left to attend classes in the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall.

Li Ge used to seldom come to see the emperor in class, but now he often came to check, and sometimes asked questions to assess him. It seemed that he was indeed fulfilling the duty that the late emperor asked him to assess the little emperor.

After an autumn rain and a cold day, the little emperor felt a little uncomfortable in August. It wasn't a serious illness, but sometimes he couldn't lift his spirits. Ji Heng was worried that he might be poisoned, so he tried several methods to relieve him. The virus was checked, but nothing wrong was found, and the Tai Hospital didn't find anything wrong.

The emperor himself was very disturbed because of this, and often appeared sad and terrified around the queen mother, so the queen mother had no choice but to agree to separate the emperor's meals, set up a small kitchen in the Qilin hall, and specially prepared the emperor's meals. Let the emperor calm down a little bit, not as nervous and frightened as before.

Because of the emperor's physical discomfort, although the heavy classes in the morning were still on, the classes in the afternoon were stopped first.

Ji Heng didn't go home directly in most afternoons, he would go to the emperor's unicorn hall to accompany him to read, write, write, paint, play chess and throw pots, etc. to pass the time.

He is already very familiar with Qilin Temple.

At the end of August, the partition windows in the palace had been replaced by thick paper windows instead of screen windows. There were also a few small windows made of glass, allowing light to come in from the outside. The emperor liked this glass very much. Looking out of the glass.

Ji Heng played a game of chess with the emperor, and the two started chatting.

The emperor said, "Elder Li Ge means that after my birthday and Wanshou Festival, all the officials will write a letter to choose a queen for me."

Ji Heng smiled and said, "Elder Zhao has already gone to greet his relatives and is about to get married, and it is indeed time for the emperor to get married."

The emperor leaned on the couch, leaning on several pillows, and said, "I'm afraid King Wu will be more anxious when I get married. I'm not in good health recently, maybe I'm really poisoned."

Ji Heng looked serious and said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much. Just take care of yourself."

The emperor sighed, looked at him with full eyes, and said, "Two days ago, I talked to Mr. Li Ge again. What he meant was that he wanted me to marry his granddaughter as the queen. I think that the queen mother will definitely not agree." , she wants me to marry the Zhao family's daughter. I'm a little embarrassed now."

Ji Heng said, "Then what are you thinking in your heart, Your Majesty?"

The emperor said, "Of course I don't want to marry the Zhao family's daughter..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice outside and winked at Ji Heng.

The emperor continued to speak, Ji Heng got off the couch, wearing only socks on his feet, walked to the door lightly, opened the curtain, and really saw Li Anlian outside.

Li Anlian was taken aback by Ji Heng's sudden appearance, and hurriedly said, "Master Ji, this servant came to ask, does the emperor want hot tea?"

The emperor also came over, looked at Li Anlian, frowned and said, "I told you, when I and Junqing are in the room, everyone, don't get close. Are your ears white?"

Li Anlian felt that the emperor's health was not good recently, so his temper became worse and worse. In the past, the little emperor was always a very kind person with a smile, but recently his temper has become a little unstable.

Before Li Anlian wanted to kneel down and confess, Ji Heng had already said, "Your Majesty, he must have heard what we said just now."

Now Li Anlian knew that he was in serious trouble, so he knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, this servant didn't hear anything, and as soon as he walked over, he met Mr. Ji face to face."

The emperor looked at him coldly and did not speak. Ji Heng went back to the room and put on his shoes. In this season, the floor heating has not yet been turned on, and the weather outside is already cold. Even if there is a carpet on the floor, it is still cold to walk without shoes.

If the emperor was suddenly furious, Li Anlian would not be so nervous, but neither the emperor nor Ji Heng spoke, and the atmosphere of silence made Li Anlian very uneasy.

After a while, Ji Heng first said, "Eunuch Li is someone close to the Empress Dowager, if he told the Empress Dowager what you said just now, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will definitely feel bad for the Emperor. Look, I should deal with this matter." It's good."

Li Anlian became more uneasy, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't hear anything just now."

The emperor sighed and said, "Li Anlian, you know that I actually hate others lying the most."

Li Anlian kept kowtowing and said that he didn't hear it.

Ji Heng said at this time, "Your Majesty, you have been in poor health for unknown reasons recently, and you suspected that someone had poisoned you, but your Majesty, your diet is separate, cooked in a small kitchen, and under strict supervision everywhere, but you are still not in good health. Could it be Eunuch Li..."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Li Anlian hurriedly defended, "Your Majesty, don't you understand how this servant feels for you? How could this servant do such a thing. Mr. Ji, don't spit blood on others."

Ji Heng said lightly, "I'm just guessing, and I didn't say that you, Eunuch Li, must have something wrong. However, you heard the words from me and the emperor today, and you belong to the empress dowager, which is really worrying."

He said, turning to the emperor, "Your majesty, since you are not in good health, just give him poison and let him go. This will not only keep the secret, but also just say to the outside world that you rewarded him with what you ate. Eat, and then something happened to him, and the empress dowager will no longer suspect that you deliberately came out of the small kitchen to pretend to be sick, and it just happened to solve this slave who eats inside and out."

Li Anlian was so frightened that he raised his head and stared at Ji Heng with tearful eyes, "Master Ji, how can you be so poisonous at such a young age? I really didn't hear it. Even if I heard it, I didn't." I hear you. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to trust your servants, you can see their loyalty to you, don't you?"

The emperor looked at him coldly and said, "I know you are really good to me."

Li Anlian breathed a sigh of relief, but the emperor said again, "But I also know that you go to the Empress Dowager's Palace every day and report to her what happened during the day. This is not the first time you have overheard the conversation between me and Jun Qing." Yes, Junqing sprinkled colorless and odorless medicine by the door, if you stand here for a little longer, you will be able to detect your footprints."

As he said, Ji Heng had already taken out a small bottle from his purse, and sprinkled a very fine layer of white medicinal powder on the door. When he wiped away the medicinal powder, Li Anlian's footprints really appeared on the ground.

The emperor said indifferently, "Li Anlian, I have always valued you very much, and you clearly know it."

Ji Heng said, "Your Majesty, I have medicine on my body. Just one pill can kill you instantly. Even if the imperial doctor comes to test it, it won't prove it."

Li Anlian then turned around and wanted to run, but Ji Heng had already run up, grabbed him, and then pressed him to the ground with a few strokes of martial arts.

It's not for nothing that Ji Heng has learned martial arts for three years. It's still possible to restrain an old eunuch who is in a panic.

Seeing that he couldn't run away, Li Anlian had no choice but to say in tears that he was loyal to the emperor and would never betray him again, begging the emperor to forgive him.

Ji Heng wanted to feed him medicine, so he cried even harder.

The emperor looked at him for a while, sighed, and said to Ji Heng, "Junqing, forget it."

Ji Heng said in surprise, "Your Majesty."

"Let him go," said the emperor.

Ji Heng had no choice but to let him go.

Li Anlian hurried over to kowtow to the emperor to thank him, and the emperor said to him, "Li Anlian, you have been by my side all the time, and I don't want you to die like this. I think, if you have some vision, you should know that in this world, the future It will eventually belong to me, and so will this harem. If you want to continue to be loyal to the queen mother, I will not say anything. I just say that you are not serving me wholeheartedly. I will replace you. If you are loyal to me from now on, I will gain power in the future , and I will definitely not treat you badly. You have stayed in the palace for so long, and you know what to do is the best."

Li Anlian hurriedly said, "In the hearts of my servants, the only one in the future is you, the emperor."

The emperor sneered, "Don't answer so quickly. You know, I hate others lying the most."

Li Anlian had no choice but to kowtow quickly, his forehead was broken on the ground, and blood appeared on the ground.

Ji Heng frowned, and the emperor knew that he couldn't bear it, so he said to Li Anlian, "Okay, look at you, go down and apply the medicine. The queen mother sees the wound on your forehead, and she doesn't know what to think. You Just come and tell me the result tomorrow. I don’t need you to serve me today.”

Li Anlian quickly responded, walked back a few steps on knees, then slowly got up and backed out.

Seeing him leaving, the emperor stepped forward and took Ji Heng's hand, looked at him softly, and said, "I made things difficult for you just now."

Ji Heng smiled and said, "The fact that I can pretend well means I have some talent, doesn't it?"

The emperor was amused by him, grabbed his hand, and called Liu Sheng'er loudly, asking him to wipe off the powder and blood on the ground himself.
