But how could they get into such a fool? Even if Empress Dowager Han’s words are true, they are not that kind of people.?¤         ◎?◎                                 �

Empress Dowager Han did not clearly say that he liked Xuan'er as the heir, but that she left a way out for herself. She said that Emperor Longqing could not have any offspring, but in fact, there was still hope in Empress Dowager Han's heart.

Even in the future, Empress Dowager Han had to choose Xuan'er as the heir to the throne due to circumstances. Empress Dowager Han would only regard Xuan'er as an alternative and a shield. Once a concubine in the harem was pregnant, Xuan'er's status was not only in danger, but also had the possibility of his life being lost.

How could Ji Xiaotang let Xuan'er suffer such grievances? How could she push her child into such a trap?

She and Qin Zhen can take risks, but she doesn't want Xuan'er to have even a little risk.

And in this matter, Qin Zhen obviously had the same idea as him.

"However, you still need to be careful when you should do it." Qin Zhen said to Ji Xiaotang.

As for who to beware of and how to beware of it, Qin Zhen does not need to explain at all.

"And, the plays that should be done must be done," Ji Xiaotang also said.

Qin Zhen smiled and turned his head.

...

The next day, Qin Zhen went to court early, while Ji Xiaotang ordered people to prepare carriages and horses after breakfast, and asked Madam Cheng to find Su Dan's clothes to change.

When the car was about to stop, Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er into the carriage, and there were also Madam Cheng, Hutie, Jin'er, Xiu'er and others, echoing each other, and the prince's entourage came to Xinhua Hall with her entourage.

Ji Xiaolian was gone, and it certainly caused an uproar in the palace, which would inevitably have an impact on Xinhua Hall. After all, Ji Xiaolian is a daughter of the Ji family. There is no Ji Xiaolian's mourning hall in the palace, so Ji Xiaotang couldn't even worship. Therefore, Ji Xiaotang came to Xinhua Hall the day after entering the palace. On the one hand, he worshiped Ji Xiaolian, and on the other hand, to comfort his family.

The carriage still stopped in front of the second door of Xinhua Hall. Old Mrs. Ji and others had already welcomed him in front of the screen wall. Ji Xiaotang got out of the car, and everyone greeted each other, exchanged some greetings, and then came to Xuanhua Hall.

When we arrived at Xuanhua Hall, everyone formally greeted each other again and then sat down one after another.

Ji Xiaotang sat on the kang, his eyes flashed across the faces of everyone in the house. No one was wearing filial piety in the house, but everyone was wearing plain clothes. Most of the gold ornaments on his head were replaced with plain silver. At this moment, almost everyone in the Ji family gathered here. Coincidentally, Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin were back today.

Only Master Ji is missing.

"...This incident has hit him very hard.? "Mr. Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang in a deep voice that Master Ji is bedridden and recuperating, so he is not here.

Ji Xiaotang nodded to express his understanding.

The death of Ji Xiaolian and his son was a heavy blow to Master Ji. Subsequently, the negligence of the funeral in the palace was a second blow to Master Ji. In the end, he was scolded in the court and kicked out of the court, and almost dismissed from office, which gave Master Ji an almost fatal blow.

Since that day, Master Ji has become ill and has not gotten up these days.

"...It was not convenient to go out two days ago. Today I got free and came immediately. I brought the imperial physician from the royal palace and brought some medicinal materials, hoping that I could use it."

"You're so thoughtful." Mr. Ji Er nodded. He was very satisfied with Ji Xiaotang's arrangement.

Zhou Nianhong, Ji Xiaomu, Yang, Ji Xiaoxue and Ji Xiaoqin all stood up and saluted Ji Xiaotang again to thank him.

The imperial physician was outside, so Ji Xiaomu led him to Master Ji's residence to take the pulse of Master Ji. Zhou Nianhong and Yang took Ji Xiaoxue and Ji Xiaoqin and others to take care of Master Ji.

When Ji Xiaoyun saw these people leaving, she looked around and couldn't help but ask Ji Xiaotang: "How could such a thing happen? Will our family..."

"Don't worry, sister." Ji Xiaotang knew what Ji Xiaoyun was worried about.

Ji Xiaoyun had known the truth about Ji Xiaoyun's pregnancy for a long time. However, Ji Xiaolian suddenly died like this, and Master Ji was humiliated in the court again. Ji Xiaoyun was very worried. This incident would affect Xinhua Hall.

Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaoyun that this incident would be completely over for Xinhuatang and would not implicate Shunyi Bo Mansion.

Ji Xiaoyun finally felt relieved.

In a while, Ji Xiaomu came back.

The imperial physician in the royal family has already seen Master Ji's pulse. Master Ji's illness is mostly heart fire, and he has been fond of eating fat and sweet food for many years. He has caused all of it. It is heart disease and real disease, which is very difficult. However, it is not a fatal symptom. As long as Master Ji can relax his mind and eat lighter on daily basis, he can always be well conditioned during holidays.

The imperial physician in the royal family prescribed a prescription, and Ji Xiaomu had already beaten people to buy medicine.

The reason why Ji Xiaomu rushed back in a hurry was to report Master Ji's condition to Ji Xiaotang, so that Ji Xiaotang could feel at ease. On the other hand, he knew that Ji Xiaotang must have something to discuss when he came this time. He also had many things that he was puzzled, and hoped to get the answer from Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was relieved when he learned about Master Ji's condition.

"Others don't know the truth, but our family knows it. Why didn't we stop our uncle and let him... cause this humiliation!" Ji Xiaotang's words were a little bit reproachful.

If Master Ji did not stand up in the court, he would have thought that Ji Xiaolian's funeral was hasty and said that he wanted something, and he would not give Empress Dowager Han a chance to be him.

Empress Dowager Han became Master Ji, but in fact he slapped Xin Huatang in the face.

Mr. Ji has been an official for many years, but he acted very stupid in Ji Xiaolian. He should have seen something wrong with his actions in the palace. At this time, a smart person could not hide at all, but he bumped into him.

Of course, Master Ji is not a fool. After all, it is because of his wisdom. However, Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu should have stopped Master Ji.

"I was negligent." Master Ji Er said with a shameful look on his face, "I had already advised him the day before, and he agreed. But the next day, he put the note on the ground without caring about it, and I was shocked on the spot."

"It's not my second uncle's negligence, it's me who omitted it." Ji Xiaomu hurriedly said, with a look of shame and regret on his face even heavier.

Master Ji was just driven out of the hall that day, but not in court. In fact, it was thanks to Master Ji Er who was also present. Master Ji Er saw Master Ji handing over a memorial and said something like that, he knew that things were going to be bad. He could not leave Master Ji alone, and immediately came forward to speak to Master Ji at the risk of being implicated and venting his anger.

It was the sentence of Master Ji Er. Master Ji was too sad and confused, saving Master Ji's life.

Ji Xiaomu was not in the court at that time, but he was very clear about this.

"It's thanks to my second uncle who saved my father's life. My father insisted on his own and refused to listen to others' advice. And I was hidden by my father. I didn't know that he had written a secret letter." Ji Xiaomu regretted and was afraid.

Seeing Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu rushing to fight against his shoulders, Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly.

"It's over here, and it's useless to say more about the past." Ji Xiaotang's meaning was to turn this page over. This is her usual style and she never struggles with things that are useless. "But, uncle should stay away from the court in the future."

This is the result of Ji Xiaotang's comprehensive consideration.

First, in dealing with this matter, Master Ji has completely exposed his weaknesses, and the officialdom in recent years has been almost in vain. He is no longer suitable for him to continue to be an official. Because continuing to be an official will not only be beneficial to him, but will also harm his family.

Secondly, Ji Xiaolian and his son are dead, and Empress Dowager Han’s arrangements for the funeral have revealed some information. Ji Xiaolian’s family, namely the Xinhuatang Ji family, always has to pay some price for this.

Master Ji resigned from office and stayed away from the officialdom from then on, and could calm the anger in the palace to a certain extent.

Just because Master Ji resigned, this actually reduced the losses of Xinhua Hall to the minimum. If it weren't for the protection and support of Prince An's Mansion, Ji Xiaolian's incident would not have destroyed the entire Ji family. The descendants of the Ji family would have no chance of becoming a career in the future.

Ji Xiaotang's words determined the future fate of Master Ji.

Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu both nodded happily. In fact, they were also thinking about this matter. They could hardly agree with Ji Xiaotang's decision more.

"...When my father is ready, he will enjoy a happy life at home. Or, he likes the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes, or he can travel around and play with his stepmother, as long as his father is open-minded, the rest of his life will be a good life." Ji Xiaomu said.

"Big brother is very good at seeing it, good." Ji Xiaotang looked at Ji Xiaomu with admiration, feeling a little bit grateful. Although Master Ji was confused, it was rare that Ji Xiaomu and Yang both understood.

"However, what happened in this palace and why, I can't understand why?" Then, Ji Xiaomu finally asked the questions in his heart.

Master Ji Er also looked at Ji Xiaotang and waited for her answer. Ji Xiaomu's question was also what he wanted to ask.

Qin Lin wanted to take advantage of Ji Xiaolian's affairs to attack Empress Dowager Han. Before the incident, Ji Xiaotang had already secretly notified Mr. Ji Er. But these days, Mr. Ji Er did not see Qin Lin's actions, but the palace was so earth-shaking. Mr. Ji Er vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, but Ji Xiaotang needed to confirm it.

"Dad guessed it well..."

Qin Lin did make many moves secretly, but before he could reveal the matter to the open, Empress Dowager Han found clues and took a series of silence actions.

That's right, this storm in the palace is essentially a killing to silence people, and the culprit is Empress Dowager Han.

"So that's it." Master Ji Er had a compassionate look on his face.

Ji Xiaomu burst into tears, raising his hand to cover his face.

"Xiao Lian... She still can't escape death."

On this day, Ji Xiaomu had expected that this day would be the one that Ji Xiaolian knew was not the child of Emperor Longqing. No matter which child was dead or alive, Ji Xiaolian could not escape death.

But after all, they are brothers and sisters. Even though he knew the result would be like this, he could not help but have a trace of luck: Perhaps, Ji Xiaolian can survive.

"This is clean." After a while, Ji Xiaomu raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeves. "It would be great if Xiaolian could be stopped and not enter the palace!"

And there is no if in this world.

Ji Xiaolian's tragedy seemed to be caused by entering the palace, but the root cause was determined by her temperament. It was the crime fraud case that was resumed and the Yang family was liquidated. At that time, the Ji family was too late to keep a low profile, so how could they move forward?

Moreover, at that time, Mrs. Ji had just passed away.

Not only did Ji Xiaolian not see the overall situation clearly, she even refused to take care of her mother's filial piety. It was this kind of vigilance and desperation that made her go to the dead end of her today.

"Have you been to the elder brother to worship in front of my elder sister's grave? I'm not convenient to go out of the city to worship, so I can only wait for the opportunity. I wonder if there is a mourning hall for my elder sister at home?" Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Xiaomu.

"... I have already taken your sister-in-law to worship her." Ji Xiaomu was ashamed and moved, "Xiaolian caused a big disaster for her family. Thanks to Xiaotang's maintenance, the whole family can be safe. Xiaotang does not blame her, but wants to worship her. If she knows her in the spring, she should be ashamed and grateful."

Ji Xiaomu told Ji Xiaotang that Ji Xiaolian was a married daughter after all, so she did not set up a mourning hall for her in Xinhua Hall. However, the palace was too hasty about Ji Xiaolian's funeral.

No matter what Ji Xiaolian is like, she is always his own sister.

Therefore, Ji Xiaomu still made Ji Xiaolian's token for Ji Xiaolian, intending to burn the incense 37.

"... Then I sent it to the outside of the city to burn. She died in disgrace. The elders in the family were still in the hall. It was my selfish intention. I already knew that it was inappropriate, so I would remove it now." Ji Xiaomu said and shed tears again.

After all, he is a soft-hearted and affectionate man.

"What are you going to do? Do you think your grandmother, my aunt and I don't know? Your aunt is in charge of the gift-giving. What can you hide in this family? Moreover, you are not someone who can hide things!" Master Ji Er said hurriedly.

It turned out that Ji Xiaomu had already known about Ji Xiaolian setting up a token and burning incense. No one mentioned this, which meant that Ji Xiaomu had acquiesced to do so.

Ji Xiaomu was ashamed and grateful.

"It's all my willfulness. My grandmother, my second uncle and my aunt are kind-hearted. I should have reported it to my grandmother long ago. My second uncle and my aunt know." Ji Xiaomu knelt down.

Master Ji Er hurriedly stood up and helped Ji Xiaomu up.

"Do you think we are not sad about Xiaolian's affairs? That is the blood of our Ji family. How old is she?"

When a person is dead, everything is empty. Even if Ji Xiaolian is vigilant and does something that harms the family, he almost silences Xinhuatang. However, now Xinhuatang is safe, Ji Xiaolian has lost her life.
