“Who’s this?” Xuanyuan Ziming was shocked to see the man covered in blood being carried on You Er’s shoulder.
Without waiting for You Er to introduce him, Song Jingchen said, “Jiang Tao.”
Actually, he had never seen Jiang Tao before, but You Er had been sent to monitor Jiang Tao. Apart from Jiang Tao, who else could he have brought back? Xuanyuan Ziming rubbed his nose. “That’s true.”
You Er placed Jiang Tao on a chair. He was a middle-aged man with good facial features. He ignored the blood on his body. Looking at his clothes, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the head of a wealthy family. He did not look like a servant at all.
“When I went over, they were already fighting,” You Er explained and disappeared with a whoosh.
Xuanyuan Ziming thought to himself, “What you’re saying is that if you didn’t go, Jiang Tao would already be dead.” He glanced at Jiang Tao’s injuries.
Alright, you’re the best.
Jiang Tao had many knife wounds on his body, and the most serious was the wound on his chest. MO Yuan walked forward to check on him. After a while, she said, “There’s poison on his wound. The poison entered his heart. I can’t save him.”
MO Yuan’s medical skills were taught by Ji Luo. If she said that she couldn’t save him, it was no different from saying that he couldn’t be saved.
The atmosphere in the study froze for a moment.
If they used spiritual liquid..
Song Jingchen quickly suppressed this thought. If he remembered correctly,
Jiajia only had one drop of spiritual liquid left. Since he guessed that Lord Jing’an might be seriously injured, he had to keep that drop of spiritual liquid for emergencies.
Actually, there were originally two drops saved, but one was wasted on the fake
“Xuanyuan Ce”.
“Send him to the woodshed first,” Ji Luo suddenly said. Song Jingchen asked, “Mother?”
Ji Luo shook his head and said, “I have a way to save him.”
However, Song Jingchen understood. She was prepared to use the drop of spiritual liquid that Jiajia had given her for her scars.
Song Jingchen didn’t say anything else.
Thirty Thousand carried Jiang Tao out of the study. MO Yuan and Ji Luo followed. Xuanyuan Ziming wanted to follow, but Song Jingchen glanced at him. He silently retracted his foot that had already stepped out of the threshold and sat back in his chair.
“Hehe, Brother Song, no, I should call you Brother-in-law now. Brother-in-law, will we be able to find Imperial Uncle when Jiang Tao wakes up?” As he spoke, he even poured Song Jingchen a cup of tea.
Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “I don’t know.”
He was telling the truth. Jiang Tao and Madam Yu did not have an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. They also had a daughter. For the sake of his daughter, Jiang Tao might not say anything.
However, he did not need to say anything in the first place.
Xuanyuan Ziming wanted to say something else, but Song Jingchen asked, “Did you see Jiajia when you entered the palace?”
Xuanyuan Ziming slapped his forehead. He was here for this matter, but he forgot about it because of the news that his uncle was still alive.
“Yes, she’s fine. She almost angered my grandmother to death.”
He immediately told him everything about Shen Yijia’s achievements in the palace. In the end, he said enviously, “You don’t have to worry about her being bullied at all. It’s more like she’s bullying others. You don’t know that my father sent her.”
At this point, he paused and his expression changed a few times. He said uncertainly, “Do you think there’s a possibility that my father actually recognized that the corpse was fake?”
Song Jingchen paused.
“What I mean is.” Xuanyuan Ziming swallowed. “My father actually knows that it’s fake, but he also guessed that something happened to my uncle. It’s very likely that he’s still in the other party’s hands.”
In order not to alert the enemy, he could only follow the other party’s intentions and leave Jiajia in the palace as a suspect. He also set a five-day agreement with him.
“This time is not for you, but for himself.”
It was very simple. If he couldn’t find him in five days, he would really have to “kill” Jiajia.
After all, facing the “murderer” Shen Yijia, who had killed his brother, if he held back again and again, the other party would definitely sense it. At that time, it would be difficult to investigate again.
In the Yuqian Palace, Xuanyuan Qi looked at the jade ring in his hand and fell into deep thought.
There were a total of two jade thumb rings. They were pa.s.sed down from the late emperor and were in the hands of the two brothers.
Due to his carelessness, he had accidentally broken a hole in his ring. Because the hole was on the inner surface of the ring and it was only a small one, it could not be discovered from the outside. However, when he wore it on his hand, there would be obvious discomfort. Over time, it would even leave a callus on his fingers.
He placed the jade ring in front of his eyes. There were no flaws in the ring.
This was not his. His had long been exchanged by Xuanyuan Ce.
He said, “Brother is the emperor. You should only have the best things. How can you wear this? I’ll exchange it with you.”
This exchange lasted for nearly twenty years. The jade thumb ring had long left a deep mark on the brothers’ hands.
However, there was an imperceptible callus on Xuanyuan Ce’s hand.
“Your Majesty?” Eunuch Wu called out softly.
Xuanyuan Qi came back to his senses and put the jade ring back on his thumb. “wnat IS It(”
Eunuch Wu repeated what he had just said. “Didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on the people below? There’s news.”
There were countless eunuchs and palace maids working in the imperial palace alone. Eunuch Wu naturally did not have to keep an eye on them himself. Besides, he could not keep an eye on them.
Xuanyuan Qi perked up. “Let them in.”
Eunuch Wu acknowledged and left. When he returned, a young eunuch was behind him.
The young eunuch usually did not even have the chance to see the emperor up close, let alone be stared at by the emperor. He was so frightened that he knelt down. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Xuanyuan Qi frowned unhappily.
Eunuch Wu reprimanded in a low voice, “Look at you. Your Majesty is such a benevolent master. How can he eat you up? Hurry up and tell His Majesty what you saw and heard.”
The young eunuch kowtowed in fear and trepidation. “Yes, it’s Little Yuan.”
Thinking that the emperor definitely did not know who Xiao Yuanzi was, he explained, “Xiao Yuanzi is Eunuch Xing’s G.o.dson and works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
As soon as he mentioned Eunuch Xing, Eunuch Wu and Xuanyuan Qi were stunned.
There were so many eunuchs in the palace that Xuanyuan Ce could not remember many of them. However, Eunuch Xing was different. He was originally the young master of an official family. During the years when the aristocratic families controlled the government, because Lord Xing was upright and unwilling to a.s.sociate with the aristocratic families, he was imprisoned by the aristocratic families because he had contradicted them many times.
In order to warn the others, the entire Xing family died tragically, and the young master of the Xing family was thrown into the palace to be a eunuch.
After Xuanyuan Qi took power, he overturned the case for the Xing family. He originally wanted to release him from the palace, but he was unwilling to leave, so Xuanyuan Qi kept him by his side.
Although it was not as good as Eunuch Wu, who had been by his side since he was young, it was considered an important role.
Noticing Xuanyuan Qi’s ugly expression, Eunuch Wu wiped his sweat and urged, “Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and tell me what you heard..”
