In Weiyang Palace, only Eunuch Xu stood quietly in the main hall. It was very quiet and you could hear a needle drop.

If you observe carefully, you will find that Eunuch Xu's expression is in a trance, as if he has discovered something beyond his life's cognition.

After a long time, Ji Ling came back from court, and the sound of footsteps woke up Eunuch Xu who was in a daze.

He hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty, the guards in Lingxiao Palace are very strict now, and no medicine residues used by the Taiwei have been found."

"Every time I see a doctor for the Taiwei, it is the head of the Taiwei Hospital. He is the Taiwei's loyal party, and I didn't learn about the Taiwei's condition from him."

The Taiwei never bothered to hide it. In the past, when the Taiwei was sick, they could quickly learn about the medicine for the illness.

But now the normalcy is changed, there must be a demon if something abnormal happens, and something important will happen.

Ji Ling believed even more what Xiao Jingzhe said yesterday.

Eunuch Xu said again: "But this old slave has found out another matter about the Taiwei."

"A few days ago, you ordered me to pay attention to Mingxiang Teahouse and Haoran Academy. They just launched new content."

Ji Ling said with a blank expression: "Oh, let's hear how the Taiwei boasted about himself again."

Now Mingxiang Tea House and Haoran Academy have almost become the exclusive institutions to praise Taiwei. They used to cover up using pseudonyms, but now they use Taiwei’s real name directly, and jointly launch new content every once in a while, praising Taiwei in different ways. The heart is for the people of Li, and the heart is for the country.

People in the capital also lined up to listen to books, lined up to buy books, and believed blindly without thinking.

What a fool.

Eunuch Xu stammered: "The storyteller at Mingxiang Tea House talked about the love between Taiwei Xiao and Chu Mu, the shopkeeper of Wangshiju, all afternoon today."

"The general content is that six years ago, the Taiwei led troops to suppress the bandits in Yongzhou. The first battle ended in failure. Xiao Taiwei was seriously injured and stayed at Chu Mu's house while he was recovering. Chu Mu took good care of Xiao Taiwei. Wei gradually fell in love with Chu Mu."

"Chu Mu is a well-known gangster in the local area, and he is very familiar with the terrain. In the end, they worked together to eliminate the bandits in Yongzhou."

Nonsense, nonsense.

Ji Ling sneered inwardly and said: Chu Mu is clearly a Pian Pianjia young master, he will never be a gangster, he has seen it with his own eyes.

Xiao Taiwei's human-faced and animal-hearted life, Yan Luo, is not good enough for Chu Mu, and Chu Mu will never like Xiao Taiwei.

Eunuch Xu speculated: "This old slave thinks that this is probably true."

Ji Ling: "..."

Ji Ling cast a glance at Eunuch Xu, and said indifferently, "Why?"

Eunuch Xu immediately replied: "Because what Mr. Storyteller said is basically true."

"This matter involves a past event. Eight years ago, the foreign relatives of the Great Wei took part in the government. The Great Wei was precarious, and the Jishui River Basin suffered a flood. As a result, the people were in dire straits, and many people became bandits."

"The court suppressed many times, but they lost more than they won. After losing many military officers one after another, no one dared to suppress the bandits gradually. Taiwei Xiao took the initiative to invite Ying, and with the support of his father, Prime Minister Xiao and Emperor Wen, he was directly broken. Entitled General Xiaowei, responsible for leading the troops to destroy the bandits."

"During the past two years, Captain Xiao led his soldiers to participate in more than a hundred times to suppress bandits. He won many battles without defeat, except for the battle of Mount Taiyi in Yongzhou."

"Yongzhou was the last stop for Taiwei Xiao to suppress the bandits. At that time, all the bandit dens in the world were wiped out by Taiwei, leaving only Yongzhou."

"The gangsters in Yongzhou anticipated that the Taiwei would come to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits, so they united and hid in the depths of Mount Taiyi in order to use Mount Taiyi to mediate with Taiwei Xiao."

"The Taiyi Mountains are endless and the terrain is complex. During rainy weather, the sun can't be seen all day long. This battle happened during the rainy season, and it rains for most of January in the Taiyi Mountains."

"The Taiwei was only 17 years old at the time, and he had won more than a hundred battles in a row. He was unavoidably arrogant and underestimated the enemy. Coupled with his unfamiliarity with the terrain, not only did he fail in the first battle, Taiwei Xiao was also seriously injured."

"After the defeat in the first battle, Captain Xiao and his [-] soldiers disappeared out of thin air for half a month. There was no news, and no battle report was issued during the period. No one knew where Captain Xiao and his soldiers had gone. Thinking that they all died in the depths of the mountain, Xiao Taiwei's father, Prime Minister Xiao, arranged a funeral for them."

"But half a month later, Taiwei Xiao and his soldiers split into four groups, and suddenly appeared around the leader of the Taiyi Mountain Bandit Gang, the four major bandit gangs, Heihuzhai, Shihushan, Qinglong Gang, and Qingmu Gang, and wiped out the four gangs in one fell swoop. gang."

"The leading gang is dead, and the following gangs are not to be feared. It took only ten days for Xiao Taiwei to eliminate the remaining dozen gangs."

"After the class teacher returned to the court, Xiao Taiwei never talked about the half-month experience of his disappearance. The court only learned from the soldiers that they rested in the depths of the mountain for half a month. During this period, Deputy Commander Xiao Yuxiao led them. See Commander Xiao Taiwei."

"In the past half month, Captain Xiao may be recuperating at Chu Mu's house."

"Besides, Taiwei Xiao is 23 years old, and he is still the only bloodline of Prime Minister Xiao. His classmate friends back then, who are older, now have grandchildren, but Taiwei Xiao has not married a concubine so far. He must be waiting for Chu Mu. "

As soon as Eunuch Xu finished speaking, Ji Ling immediately objected: "It's nonsense, Taiwei Xiao will never be in love with Chu Mu."

Eunuch Xu was full of doubts: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know that it was Taiwei Xiao who wiped out the bandits all over the world, why do the common people still think that it was King Yongping who wiped out the bandits?"

When did the emperor start paying attention to the Taiwei's feelings?

Ji Ling glanced at Eunuch Xu, and said perfunctorily, "Why?"

Six years ago, he was only 12 years old, and he was studying in the minister's study every day, knowing little about the affairs of the court.

"Because of Marquis Yongping, six years ago your father, Emperor Wen, was critically ill. The Wu family completely controlled the court. All the men of the Wu family were named marquises and kings. They are so powerful that no one dares to provoke them."

"The queen's elder brother, King Yongping, was Xiao Taiwei's superior at the time. He used his power to replace all the names of Xiao Taiwei in the battle report and residence report with his own, and directly took the credit of Xiao Taiwei."

Ji Ling poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Xu leisurely, and said, "I've said so much, it's been hard work, let's have a cup of tea."

Eunuch Xu panicked and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this old servant is afraid, dare not! Dare not!"

The corners of Ji Ling's lips raised slightly, and he said with a smile, "Don't refuse, thank you for telling me about this, I never thought that Captain Xiao would be bullied one day."

"My heart is so weak! My heart is so relieved!"

Eunuch Xu immediately put down the half-drinked good tea in his hand, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't have such a mentality. You must always be cautious when dealing with the Taiwei. The Taiwei is far more terrifying than you think."

"Back then, Marquis Yong Ping took the credit of the Taiwei. One month later, Xiao Taiwei wiped out the entire Wu family for the crime of treason."

Eunuch Xu's words seduced the dark memory deep in Ji Ling's heart, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

After a while, Ji Lingyu said earnestly: "I just lost my composure for a while, and I will definitely plan carefully to deal with the Taiwei."

"I will go to Lingxiao Palace to visit Xiao Taiwei in person immediately."

During lunch, Ji Ling came to Lingxiao Palace alone.

"See adoptive father, I heard that adoptive father is ill, but the minister has been busy with business recently, so he can't spare time to visit his adoptive father, he delayed his visit until today, and I hope his adoptive father will forgive his sin."

Chu Mu said, "No problem."

"Now that I have seen it, the emperor can go."

Ji Ling glanced at the medicine next to Chu Mu's bed, and said, "The adoptive father has been ill for several days, but the son came to visit now. It is simply disloyal and unfilial. The son is ashamed. Today, the son will serve the adoptive father." Take your medicine."

Chu Mu immediately agreed, "If that's the case, I'll trouble the emperor."

The emperor serving him to drink medicine is really a rare thing in this life.

This is the emperor's initiative to invite Ying, not his request, and did not violate Xiao Taiwei's request.

Xiao Taiwei often treats the emperor as a servant, and he is Xiao Taiwei now, which is not too out of line.

"No trouble, it is the son's duty to serve the foster father and drink the medicine."

Ji Ling stood up and reached out to pick up the medicine beside the bed, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's so hot."

The white jade bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered, spilling the bowl of traditional Chinese medicine soup all over the floor.

Ji Ling hurriedly bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the bowl, and said anxiously: "The minister smashed the medicine bowl of the adoptive father. This is an unforgivable crime. I hope the foster father will punish me. The minister will never complain."

While speaking, Ji Ling picked up a little drug residue that had fallen on the ground and put it in his sleeve.

It was his favorite bowl, and he planned to take it with him when he left the palace.

But he broke it, so annoying.

Chu Mu calmed down for a while, and said slowly: "Then punish the emperor to fill another bowl and feed me personally."

Chu Mu stroked his bleeding heart, kept hypnotizing himself and said: A bowl, if the emperor personally fills him with medicine, it's worth it, it's worth it.

Ji Ling bowed her hands and saluted, "Thank you foster father."

The maid standing by the side said: "The emperor will follow me."

Ji Ling immediately followed the maid and left the main hall, and came to the kitchen of Lingxiao Palace.

The medicine was placed on the food table in the kitchen, Ji Ling turned his back to the maid, quickly filled a bowl of medicine, and at the same time quickly stole a few tablespoons of medicine.
