After the two brothers left, Mrs. Ji was able to have a pillow talk with Mr. Ji. "You knew that person was me early on, right or wrong?"

Hou Ye Ji certainly knows what Mrs. Ji is referring to? Looking at her eyes full of tenderness: "Yes. The reason I didn't tell you is because I want to make up for the debt I've owed you over the years. I also know that some things can't be made up for, but doing this will make me feel better."

“I’m sorry, madam, it’s my husband’s fault.”

Mrs. Ji once hated Mr. Ji for wasting most of his time on a woman. But now she learned that the woman was herself. She suddenly wanted to cry.

It turned out that she had been sulking with herself all these years. Without Hua'er's voice, he and she might not know about it until they die, right?

Because Mr. Ji was in poor mental condition, Mrs. Ji did not pester him for too long. He only said a few words and fell asleep.

Early on the next morning, the Ji family spread the news that Lord Ji was poisoned and unconscious. It immediately caused turmoil in Shengjing City.

At the same time, the Mu family also released the news that Mu Cheng had been poisoned and died.

Some people say that the Ji and Mu families are the masters of the family, while others say that the Ji and Mu families are on the wrong side. Otherwise, others will not be poisoned, but these two families will be poisoned. You must know that Mu Cheng is Mrs. Hou's half-brother. The family is both prosperous and devastated.

In order to prevent the Ji family from turning over, even the Mu family was not spared.

The news has been confirmed. Yesterday afternoon, many people passing by heard crying coming from the Ji family. As it was getting dark, many people from the Ji family rushed to the Mu family. I guess I learned the news that Mu Chengye had been poisoned and died.

When this news reached the ears of Emperor Yu and the Queen, both of them were filled with horror.

Ji Xiaoshan is known as Sheng Yu’s undefeated God of War and has a high prestige in the minds of the people. Once such news is spread, it will be extremely detrimental to the royal family and even Sheng Yu as a whole.

Emperor Yu was furious because of his remarks. But I knew I couldn't get angry at this time, otherwise the rumors would be confirmed. Not only could he not get angry, but he had to send an imperial doctor to Ji's house to diagnose and treat Mr. Ji.

"This is unreasonable. Who spread the rumor? When did I say that he Ji Xiaoshan was so outstanding? Since he took the initiative to hand over the military power, why should I not believe him? Investigate him and kill him no matter who he is." In anger, Emperor Yu broke the memorial at hand.

This person’s intention is very clear, which is to alienate his ruler and his ministers.

In the royal study, the prince and Prime Minister Lu were kneeling on the ground to bear Emperor Yu's wrath, while Mr. De next to him did not dare to express his anger.

As soon as the news came out, the prince speculated that the matter might be related to the third prince. He just wanted the Ji family to suspect that the queen was responsible for this, so that suspicion would be brought to the East Palace. As for the superior person, it was Lao San who deliberately confused the public.

Whether this matter succeeds or fails, Emperor Yu will have opinions about the Ji family.

I have to say that the third prince used this strategy very cleverly.

The prince said in a deep voice: "Father, the only plan now is to send the imperial doctor to consult. If Lord Ji has something to do with this, not to mention you, even the queen mother will be involved. Lord Ji has finished attending. He was poisoned only during the palace banquet.”

Emperor Yu snorted coldly: "Isn't Mrs. Hou known as a miracle doctor? She can't save Ji Xiaoshan."

After hearing this, the prince secretly said, "Oh, my father has angered the Ji family."

From the perspective of the whole thing, the Ji family is the one who is most unjust.

If the third child is cruel, Ji Xiaoshan may not be able to survive. It depends on whether the third child really wants Ji Xiaoshan's life or just wants to create public opinion.

From this side, Prime Minister Lu said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is right. At the moment, rescuing Lord Ji is the first priority to calm the people's hearts."

In the end, Emperor Yu nodded, and to express his sincerity, he asked the prince to personally take the imperial doctor to the Ji family.

As for the rumor, Emperor Yu asked his confidant, Eunuch De, to investigate it himself. The first person to investigate was Gu Fanmu, the envoy of the Northern Kingdom.

When the prince came to the Ji family with the imperial doctor, the entire Ji family was shrouded in sadness. Mrs. Ji held Ji Hua and led the two young masters to guard the bed. Everyone cried and their eyes turned red.

The prince signaled the imperial doctor to come over for examination. The result was that the poison had attacked his heart and he might not be able to wake up again.

Ji Hua has already learned from Mrs. Ji’s mouth about the Ji family’s plan to take advantage of the situation. I'm trying not to laugh. Hehe, look, even the prince was frightened by the acting skills of his mother and brothers. The prince could probably guess that the third prince was behind it, but Emperor Yu was not sure. The person he could guess was probably the second prince of the North, Gu Fanmu. But that's okay, that guy himself is not a good person. If you can find out something else. Isn't it a mistake? 】

I have to say that the truth about Ji Hua is revealed.

 Eunuch De did not find evidence that Gu Fanmu poisoned Ji Xiaoshan, but he found five dead men around Gu Fanmu who were preparing to attack the Ji family.

Emperor Yu was furious and detained Gu Fanmu in the cold palace and released other envoys. From then on, Gu Fanmu became Sheng Yu's first hostage from another country.

Of course, these are all things for later.

The prince took the imperial doctor back to restore his life. When Emperor Yu learned about it, the sadness on his face was real.

The prince who came out of the imperial study turned around and went to Fengyi Palace.

Opened a note in front of the Queen. This note was secretly given to him by Ji Yushu when he left Ji's house just now. There were only five words written on it: "Be careful of the Third Prince."

Looking at it, the expressions of the prince and the queen changed rapidly. They guessed correctly, this matter was indeed related to the third prince.

The queen said directly: "Mo'er, this is a good opportunity. We must make your father suspicious of the third child." The queen was inexplicably excited.

The third prince wanted to use this matter to make the Ji family suspect that they were responsible, or that there was already so-called evidence. However, the Ji family had already known about the third prince's conspiracy, so they did not believe it.

This Ji family is really someone who can be trusted.

The Queen even boldly guessed that the Ji family must have evidence of the third prince's rebellion, and the reason why they did not produce it was because there was not enough time.

Thinking about this, the queen showed a rare joy on her face.

The prince quickly thought of a clever idea: "Mother, my son has already found a solution. Let's go down and do it now. Just wait for the good news from my son." Didn't the third child want to divert the trouble to the east? He will lead the disaster back again.

No way would he have thought that this time, he would have dug a hole for himself. If the Ji family hadn't deliberately let him hear those words, he would never have thought that a sick man wanted to sit in that position.

Bei Hengyuan, who received the news of Ji Xiaoshan and Mu Cheng's death, was playing chess with Qin Wan in a Zen room in Huguo Temple.

Although he did not spread the rumors, this is exactly the result he wanted. How could he be unhappy?

He would not care about Mu Cheng's death at all.

"Mother should be relieved this time. Without the support of the Ji family, the prince will not be able to dance for long." Bei Hengyuan's eyes dropped with a smile.

Bei Hengyuan, who was immersed in pleasure, did not see Qin Wan's expression of hesitation.

It took a long time before she summoned up the courage to say, "Yuan'er, do you know the news that your aunt and the others are dead?"

“I know.” How could he not know that he would soon avenge the Qin family.

Qin Wan looked at Bei Hengyuan nervously, and hesitated several times. Bei Hengyuan saw her thoughts and put the black pieces in his hand back into the chess box.

Speaking softly: "If you have anything to say, mother, just say it."

Qin Wan tugged at the corners of her clothes and thought for a long time before she was ready to speak. Unexpectedly, a secret guard hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. "Sorry, Master, something happened to Shengjing."

After hearing this, Qin Wan felt a bad premonition in her heart.

Bei Hengyuan stood up hurriedly. "explain."
