Chapter 168 Sad (Ji Chong's Fragility)
Before she finished her breakfast, her daughter came back again. Shen Yuanshi looked behind her, "Where's Xiu'er?"

"Where's my father?" Just now, Shen Chuxia went to the corridor, but couldn't find Shen Jinlin and Qingluan, thinking he was coming for breakfast, but there was no one in the hall.

"I went out on something just now, why did you ask your father? He doesn't know how to do business." Shen Yuanshi complained, "One morning, either he had something to do, or you ran out, do you want to pass this day?"

Shen Chuxia glanced at Shen Mingxi who was sitting in the main seat again, "Where's your mother?"

The cute baby Shen Mingxi looked away from her, "I don't know."

"Xia'er, what are you doing? Either ask your father or Erniang, what's the matter?"

Shen Chuxia giggled, sat down at the table to eat, "It's okay, it's okay."

Unconsciously, he glanced at Shen Mingxi again. The more he looked, the more he looked like Liu Weixian, Xiaoguo's uncle. Unknowingly flashed in his mind, when he just crossed over, during the Three Rebellion Rebellion, Ji Chong almost killed all the officials related to the Three King Rebellion. Make sure Shen Jinlin doesn't kill him.

Now that I think about it, there are two reasons why Ji Chong didn't kill Shen Jinlin. One is that he did not participate in the Three Kings Rebellion, and the other is...

Suddenly, she seemed to have figured out something. Ji Chong might have arrested Shen Jinlin in the name of the Three Kings' Rebellion, and he might have known Shen Mingxi's identity a long time ago.

When Shen Jinlin was transferred to Hengnan, he brought Shen Mingxi to the Prince Regent's Mansion, what kind of mood did he have at that time?

With the downfall of the Gao family, the calls for the regent to ascend the throne are getting louder and louder day by day. The throne is within easy reach, but he has never ascended the throne. Could it be...

"Why are you staring at me?" Shen Mingxi stared at her with dissatisfaction, like a little overlord.

"..." Shen Chuxia bowed her head guilty to eat breakfast.

She thought, if Ji Chong wanted to kill this little brat and ascend the throne, it would be easy, so what made him hesitate?Or is he worried about something?
In the face of absolute power, Shen Chuxia didn't think of Ji Chong so kindly, thinking that he would pity a kid who was robbing him of the throne, so what made him not want to be the supreme authority?

Shen Chuxia looked at the door again. At this moment, she really wanted to find Shen Jinlin to confirm whether Shen Mingxi was the son of the late emperor or not.
After all, Ji Chong's lunch was not finished. Not only did the King of Qin bring his two grandsons, but he also followed the members of the Ji clan.

Prince Feng was also taken aback for a moment, and after he was taken aback, he quickly got up and saluted, "This junior has met the prince and all the elders of the clan."

"Shao Yin is here too." King Qin looked at the dishes on the table, his eyes were cold, "Chong'er, come quickly and meet all the elders."

Ji Chong sat without moving, reached out to pick up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Niezi, it's fine if you're not filial, and you're disrespectful, how decent is it?"

Since he entered the Imperial Army at the age of 13, he is 29 years old this year, 16 years. The time he spends together can be counted on one finger. Ji Chong's eyes are colder than King Qin's.

His eyes swept around indifferently, without making a sound.

The patriarch of the Ji clan was numb from his gaze. If King Qin hadn't pulled him over today, he wouldn't have dared to come here. It's not a joke that this kid kills people like hemp, whether it's an enemy on the battlefield or the three rebellious kings , or Gao's party, how many people died in his hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the living king of Hades.

There was no sound for a long time, King Qin's face was swept away, his pampered old face turned red, "Old patriarch, you are here on behalf of the Ji family, how can you keep silent?"

In the past, the clan's share was controlled by the Gao clan, and the Ji clan didn't dare to say anything casually. Now not only is the fief in Ji Chong's hands, but he also has more power than the Gao clan. He can kill members of the Ji clan. , the old patriarch panicked under Ji Chong's gaze, "This...that..."

The king of Qin hated that iron cannot be made into steel, so he had to speak up himself, "A country cannot live without a king, Chonger—" He pushed the two grandchildren to Ji Chong, "Your eldest nephew is 11 years old. You can handle state affairs in a few years, you don't need to be so tired..."

Ji Chong, with a calm expression, suddenly chuckled, "Father still knows that I'm tired?"

Qin Wang felt guilty when his son looked at him, but his momentum remained undiminished, "Who told you not to invite us to Beijing earlier, me, and your brother, who can't help, look, I have broken my heart for you, If you think the eldest nephew is too old, then the younger nephew, he is only four years old, you don’t need to take time out, just teach him when you have time, so it’s okay for the head office.”

"Why not sooner?" Ji Chong snorted softly, "Father sees that I have not ascended the throne for a long time, so he thinks the opportunity has come, right?"

"Bastard, why are you talking to me?" King Qin was so annoyed by his son's words that he became angry and said, "Old patriarch, quickly show him the clan joint letter, and if you let the Wei Dynasty have no monarch like this, he is disloyal and unfilial." ..."

Qin Wang's upper lip touched his lower lip, opening and closing, reflected in Ji Chong's eyes, his ears seemed to be shielded, and he couldn't hear any sound.

Mr. Geng rolled into Taifu Geng's study like a hot wheel, "Father...father...the big thing is not good..."

"Why panic, yelling, what a shame!" Geng Dafu was admonishing his son while asking the servant to close the door tightly.

At the corner of the corridor, Master Xiao Geng saw this, shook his head and smiled, turned and left.

In the study, Mr. Geng said humanely, "Father, the King of Qin can't wait any longer. He has already brought people from the Ji clan to the Prince Regent's mansion. Father, we can't wait too long, we have to hurry."

"But the father hasn't figured out what Ji Chong is thinking, so he hastily told the little master that if something happens, the protection of the past five years will be in vain."

"But...but..." Master Geng didn't know what to say.

Chu Liangjun didn't expect that Shen Jinlin would ask him for a drink. Although they came from similar backgrounds and had similar promotions, their conduct and rules of conduct in official careers are still different.

"You actually asked me to help find Mr. Su a bridge to become an official?"

Shen Jinlin nodded, "I heard that you and Mr. Su have a good friendship."

Chu Liangjun laughed, "Master Shen, when it comes to friendship with Master Su, your daughter's friendship with Master Su is even stronger."

Shen Jinlin felt that his survival was related to his daughter's relationship with Ji Chong. He had never dared to face this issue head-on, but he didn't expect to be pulled down by the surname Chu, and his face darkened, "Master Chu, you What does it mean?"

Chu Liangjun didn't understand that the person who came to ask for help turned his face down first, and his face was masked, "Your daughter, Zhi Tong, helped the regent to deal with many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Master Su admires her very much. Could it be that I said wrong?"

"..." His gentle Neixiu's daughter actually has such intelligence?Shen Jinlin couldn't believe what he heard.

Lord Chu blinked again, "Don't Lord Su know Qianyuan's talent?"

Shen Chuxia waited for his father at home. He waited until evening and found no one. When she met an unexpected person, she was called out. When she arrived in front of the carriage at the entrance of the alley, before she could stand still, she was caught by the people in the carriage. I fished it in.

"Dian..." If it wasn't for knowing those hands, Shen Chuxia suspected that she was kidnapped again.

Before Shen Chuxia found a stable position, the carriage sped away and disappeared into the evening horizon.

At the entrance of the alley, in an ordinary carriage, behind the curtain, a pair of eyes recognized that it was the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion. Before he got out of the carriage, he saw his daughter being fished in. He didn't even have a chance to call someone.

The daughter has extraordinary intelligence, is this 'intelligence'?Shen Jinlin's handsome face turned red and white, white and red again, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, "Go home."

"Yes, my lord."

The carriage wandered into the alley, but Shen Jinlin kept staring at the low-key and luxurious carriage until it disappeared.

Shen Chuxia was hugged so tightly by Ji Chong that she couldn't even breathe, "Cough...cough..." It was so tight that the air in her lungs was squeezed out, and she was about to suffocate up.

Hearing the breathless cough, Ji Chong finally let go of his arms, not as tight as the bands.

Panting for breath, Miss Shen finally realized that a certain man's mood was wrong, and subconsciously patted him on the back like coaxing a child, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"

"Xia'er..." Ji Chong buried himself in her neck, as if he wanted to absorb heat from her body, it was obviously summer.

"Your Highness!" Shen Chuxia patted him on the back lightly to appease his depressed and sad emotions. For a superior like Ji Chong, she always felt that it was not appropriate to comfort him in any way.

It's better to stay with him quietly for a while.

Ji Chong hugged the slender Shen Chuxia, his chin was buried in her neck, the tall and straight man, at this moment, was like a wronged boy, begging for comfort.

Shen Chuxia watched the sunset sink into the horizon little by little, and watched the sky outside gradually darken. It wasn't until the lights came on that Ji Chong, who was depressed, raised his chin from her shoulder.

Shen Chuxia met his eyes and smiled brightly, "Your Highness, are you hungry? I'll treat you to delicious food."

Ji Chong shook his head, "I have no appetite."

Shen Chuxia smiled sweetly, "When we first met, you had the appetite to eat only by watching me eat. Has your Highness forgotten?"

Didn't you forget?Ji Chong forced a smile.

Outside the carriage, Mu Tong and others heard that His Highness finally let go, and they all heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Your Highness, Miss Shen, may I ask you to go..."

"The place where I first met His Highness."

"Good." Mu Tong raised his hand, and the carriage briskly turned into another main street.

Inside the carriage, Ji and Chen looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Chuxia leaned into his arms, "Your Highness, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Why can't I remember, Ji Chong suddenly took her hand, "When your hand came in through the crack of the door, it entered my heart."

"..." Shen Chuxia raised her head in surprise, isn't the joke she told attractive?
Ji Chong lowered his head.

The two are close at hand.

"Xia'er..." He revealed his sadness and quickly closed his eyes.

"Your Highness..." Shen Chuxia put her arms around his neck, her eyes were full of love, "Can you talk to me? Maybe you won't be sad after talking."
