The emperor took the cub of the nemesis Regent

The little eunuch served him another bowl respectfully, didn't dare to speak any more, and hurriedly withdrew.

While drinking it, Ji Xuemian felt a little strange. According to common sense, after drinking so much sour food, his stomach should have had acid regurgitation long ago. Why is he so greedy for sour plum soup now?

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to put down the soup bowl, suppress his appetite, and raised his eyes, facing Duan Xichi's probing gaze.

Ji Xuemian didn't suspect him, she looked away, slowly wiped off the drops of soup from the corner of her mouth, and licked the moisture from her lips.

But I felt the gradually abnormal eyes of the person on the opposite side, staring at him non-stop through the beautiful singing and dancing, through the fluttering skirt skirt.

Ji Xuemian had no choice but to stare at him, trying to warn him, who knew that he was even more presumptuous, and even gradually smiled, blatantly ignoring the compliments from other courtiers.

Ji Xuemian's face flushed slightly as he saw this bright sight, and the blood flowing slowly under the skin became hot, even his fingers were hot.

Duan Qichi held a glass of spirits in his fingertips, looking at him was like looking at a delicious dish.

Ji Xuemian was not used to it, but he could only sit on pins and needles, unable to escape even if he wanted to.

The palace banquet was lively, but was interrupted by a burst of mournful cries.

A man wearing an ice-blue skirt broke in, covering his face with a bead curtain, so that people could not see his face clearly, only a pair of tender phoenix eyes could see it.

"She"'s eyes were red, and tears rolled down from her eye sockets. She looked so charming and pitiful, which made people feel distressed.

Especially "her"'s collarbone was covered with unsightly marks, red to purple, it could be seen that the emperor favored "her" extremely.

But in the eyes of everyone, she is just a concubine who can't stand on the stage.

Only Ji Xuemian narrowed his eyes, his heart pounding.

It's Mr. Xue, why did he come here?

Duan Qichi raised his brows, it seemed that he was not afraid of big troubles, as if he was ready to watch a good show.

Ji Xuemian swallowed his anger and watched the situation quietly.

If it goes too far, he will never let Xuan Wo and Mr. Xue be lightly spared.

King Zhenxi said first: "This is the little beauty raised by the emperor? Why have you never heard of such a woman?"

Young Master Xue was crying so pitifully, "Your Majesty, the regent wants to confine the slave family. He wants the slave family not to go out for seven days. Please say something nice for the slave family and ask the regent to let the slave family go!"

When Xuan Wo saw Mr. Xue, he was in a daze. He almost rubbed his forehead twice, and said, "Who told you to come! Why did the regent punish you?"

Everyone looked at Duan Qichi, but they saw Duan Qichi let out a light sigh, "Overestimating one's abilities."

Mr. Xue blushed, a little deliberately: "Your Majesty, please beg for mercy on behalf of my family, after all, the regent..."

"After all what? Come and ask me if you have anything to do. As for the emperor," Xuan Wo slowed down his tone, "do you even have to take care of the affairs of the harem?"

Duan Qichi put down the wine glass and put it on the table, and there was a heavy collision sound between the wine glass and the table, obviously without much effort, but it made the surrounding courtiers gasp, and everyone lowered their heads in fear.

I just heard him say slowly: "This king can take care of it or not."

Xuan Wo's face turned even paler, "Tell me, why?"

Mr. Xue bit his lip, unable to speak, "Because... because my family saw it in Tangquan Palace, the regent...he and—"

Ji Xuemian's eyebrows twitched, and he cut off his words: "Your Majesty, the emperor's family affairs should not be mentioned in front of the courtiers, and should be discussed in the harem."

"Is it a family matter?" Mr. Xue said aggrievedly, "But the slave family saw you and the regent entering Tangquan Palace, how do you explain it?"

All the courtiers were in an uproar, and in an instant it returned to emptiness, and no one dared to make any noise.

However, the courtiers sitting next to Ji Xuemian and Duan Qichi were terrified, for fear that these three people would get angry on the spot.

Ji Xuemian closed his eyes, he understood Mr. Xue's intentions, he was deliberately provoking trouble.

Duan Qichi smiled generously, "As you said is true, this king rewards Ji Shoufu to bathe in Tangquan Palace, and treats meritorious officials with courtesy, which is more appropriate."

Immediately, someone said: "Naturally there is nothing wrong with it. I still want to bathe in Tangquan Palace, but I don't have this chance!"

The staff next to Ji Xuemian said: "I just don't know, what is there to be wronged by this little girl? It can't be that you and Ji Shoufu, the regent, had some quarrel?"

Duan Qichi thought for a while, and then said: "There was some quarrel, Ji Shoufu taught this concubine a lesson on behalf of the emperor's nephew."

The courtiers didn't understand: "Why teach?"

Duan Qichi narrowed his long and beautiful eyes with a smile, raised his hand, put the back of his finger on his lower lip, seemed to be thinking for a while, and then felt a little embarrassed, "Ji Shoufu taught him not to keep his duty, took off his clothes and stood in front of the king, plainly It makes people daydream and makes the emperor's nephew sad."

Ji Xuemian knew very well that Duan Qichi was turning things upside down and would not let the villains in the slightest.

Tell the dead to be alive, and tell the false to be true.

Even if no one believed it, no one dared to refute him.

Mr. Xue was dumbfounded, "Regent, you...you... Your Majesty, there is no servant, you know very well..."

As he said that, Mr. Xue seemed to be ruthless, and tore off the bead curtain covering his face, turned his head away, and asked everyone to take a good look at his face.

"Prince Regent, do you still want to say that the slave family seduced you? Did you treat the slave family as Ji Shoufu's substitute, insulting the slave family and the emperor?"

Everyone was shocked by Mr. Xue's appearance, looked at him, and then at Ji Xuemian who looked uncertain.

Ji Xuemian remained silent, and smashed the soup bowl in his hand into the plate with a "bang".

The ministers beside him couldn't help hiding from the fright.

Duan Qichi squinted his eyes, and there was some violent emotion in his brows, almost unable to suppress it.

His voice was deep and hoarse, shocking, "Come here, take Mr. Xue down, and slap your mouth a hundred times."

"Slow down, Uncle Huang, you can't treat him like this, maybe he's right?" Xuan Wo said slowly.

Only then did the courtier know two things.

First, this concubine is a man.

The second thing, don't make a sound.

Ji Xuemian said coldly: "Your Majesty, you are so partial to a concubine, aren't you afraid that I will break his neck with palace rules?"

Ji Xuemian's voice was as cold as the snow of Tianshan Mountain, like a knife like a sharp edge, once he opened his mouth, even Xuan Wo didn't dare to look at him.

Because Ji Xuemian did have this power, even if the late emperor was alive and the emperor wanted to punish the emperor, no one in the whole palace would dare to intercede for the emperor.

What's more, dealing with a male concubine who is as stupid as an ox and who gives birth to right and wrong.

Xuan Wo couldn't hold back his face, and confronted Ji Xuemian: "Sir, calm down. If the regent really got his hands on him, I must ask the regent for an explanation for him. After all, the regent was at fault first."

Mr. Xue sat on Xuanwo's lap, with a face that was almost exactly the same as Ji Xuemian's, crying until he couldn't breathe.

Duan Qichi didn't say a word, just looked at Ji Xuemian quietly.

In that look, others might not be able to see it, but Ji Xuemian could see it clearly.

Duan Qichi couldn't help going crazy.

Ji Xuemian couldn't get off the tiger, and Xuan Wo was also looking at him with blazing eyes, ignoring the crying Young Master Xue in his arms.

Ji Xuemian will not shield anyone, he is so big and magnanimous, he has never had a clear conscience.

But for Duan Qichi, he might have to relapse once.

Ji Xuemian shook his long sleeves, stood up, his body was as straight as a cedar, and as thin as a sharp knife, as if no matter what he said, it must be the undeniable truth.

He murmured: "I only saw Mr. Xue taking off his clothes, and nothing else happened."

Xuanwo seemed to be struck by lightning.

He said unwillingly: "Sir, do you believe that the regent has never done it, and it is more than trusting my judgment? You..."

Ji Xuemian knew what he wanted to ask.

Ji Xuemian should stand by Xuanwo and work together to bring down Duan Qichi.

But once he lied and accused Duan Qichi of bullying Mr. Xue, what would Ji Xuemian do?

Notorious, eternal sinner?Using other people's faces to confuse the emperor and the regent at the same time?

The people behind Mr. Xue used tricks to kill two birds with one stone and killed Duan Qichi and Ji Xuemian. How vicious are their intentions?

Ji Xuemian would rather go to hell than be slandered.

What's more, he knew Duan Qichi like the back of his hand, once he said he believed in him, he would never regret it.

Ji Xuemian wanted to bring down Duan Qichi, so he didn't bother to use such dirty tricks.

Ji Xuemian took a deep breath, "I don't trust anyone, I only trust my own eyes, and I will not act in favor of anyone."

Duan Qichi was stunned.

After that, he looked at Ji Xuemian for a long time, even his eyes seemed to be trembling.

Xuan Yi said in a solemn voice: "Young brother, you really should calm down. You can't keep such a provocative man. What's more, why did you keep a man who looks so similar to Ji Shoufu as a concubine?"

As soon as he pointed out these words, the situation became even more unmanageable, and he was about to go to an irreversible situation.

Ji Xuemian can't let this imminent situation ferment, at least when the news spreads throughout the capital tomorrow, there is still room for rescue.

He has completely calmed down at this moment. It's not that he can't deal with such a situation, but he just needs to be tactful.

Ji Xuemian shook his sleeves and saluted: "I am not forcing the emperor, but alerting the emperor. It is not impossible for Mr. Xue to stay, as long as the emperor does not delay the government affairs and has a clear conscience. I am willing to help the emperor take care of the memorial and help you. Easy to combine."

Mr. Xue stopped crying suddenly, and looked at Ji Xuemian in disbelief, as if he didn't expect him to let him die.

At the same time, he was very reluctant, as if he failed to mobilize him, but Ji Xuemian had completely broken through him, so he couldn't make trouble anymore.

Turning his head, Ji Xuemian said quietly again: "His Royal Highness, there are thousands of people in the world, but there are always similarities in appearance. Mr. Xue is favored and flourishing. After all, I am an outsider and cannot participate in the affairs between brothers. I wish His Highness Prince Rui more Care for the emperor as an elder brother."

Xuan Yi silently took a sip of the tea soup, did not speak, just clenched his fists, but did not refute.

Finally, Ji Xuemian looked at Duan Qichi.

His eyes had turned red, and his dark pupils were as deep as the surface of the sea under the night. He could not see the ups and downs of the waves, but he could see that there were dangers everywhere.

Ji Xuemian bowed slowly, respectfully: "Your Majesty the Regent, I have never said anything against my will. Today, in front of all the ministers, I said bluntly. If the Regent is dissatisfied, he can use various means to punish Wei." My minister, please don't embarrass the emperor."

The generals and courtiers sitting behind Duan Qichi felt like they were walking on thin ice, and the veteran heroes sitting behind Ji Xuemian were also trembling.

Who can't see that Ji Shoufu is defying the regent's wishes openly, even at the cost of his own life.

But the regent didn't get angry, his eyes could be called gloomy, which was really terrifying.

Emperor Xuan Wo at the center of the storm closed his eyes, covering up all his emotions.

One would be the emperor's uncle and regent with great military exploits, and the other would be the emperor's chief assistant who controlled the imperial court. For the sake of the throne, Xuanwo could not easily turn to either side.

Therefore, the courtiers who were divided into two factions had to stand more faithfully.

After talking a lot, Ji Xuemian suddenly felt unable to hold on anymore, his hands and feet were cold, as if his whole body was immersed in ice water.

His heart was pounding and he couldn't breathe. Because he was too tired, there were bursts of halos in front of his eyes, and he was about to lose his balance.

He couldn't help covering his lips and coughing uncontrollably.

After a few sounds, bright red blood came out from between the fingers.

"teacher!"

"Ji Shoufu!"

Ji Xuemian raised his hand, stopped everyone who was going to approach him, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I will take a step first."

After saying that, Ji Xuemian turned around and left, but staggered, holding on to everything he could support along the way, table corners, chair backs, door frames, branches, pavilions, and finally, he knelt down on the cold ground.

Looking up, it was the Imperial College.

Suddenly there was the sound of anxious footsteps behind him.

Ji Xuemian was very tired for a moment, he really wanted to sleep.

In a daze, he felt someone holding his hand and holding him tightly in his arms.
