No one could tell how the rumors started, it was as if suddenly, the entire harem didn't care about the selection of concubines by the third and fourth princes, nor did they care about the upcoming autumn of the previous dynasty.

Even the things that are often talked about on weekdays, such as the concubine who waits for more sleep recently, and that concubine gets more rewards.

And which empress in the palace fights with which empress, which prince is reprimanded by the emperor, etc...all don't care.

What everyone is most concerned about is the cause of death of the fifth prince's biological mother, Chen Meiren!
Ji Yun thought, no matter how you look at it, there is something weird in it!
A low-grade concubine who was not very favored and passed away for several years, suddenly became a hot search!
It is said that after the fifth prince was ordered to pay homage to the prince and Chen Meiren, it was too late to rush back to the imperial city.

So, I rested in a post house near the outskirts of Beijing.

That night, a woman's sobbing sounded in the posthouse.

The fifth prince and his entourage saw a woman in black with long hair!

An old eunuch who accompanied the fifth prince once served Chen Meiren, and he insisted that it was "Chen Meiren"!
The entire courtyard echoed with Chen Meiren's cry!

"Chen Meiren" kept saying "I was killed by someone!"

"Son, you want to avenge your mother!"

And after "Chen Meiren" floated away, the Fifth Prince found in his arms the handkerchief his mother had embroidered for him when he was a child. On the handkerchief was a starling!
The Fifth Prince could not restrain himself from crawling on his knees, tears streaming down his face!
Only Chen Meiren knows about his liking for starlings!

The matter is so big that the emperor has to pay attention to it.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Jin Yiwei were ordered to investigate.

A court lady who had served Chen Meiren testified that Chen Meiren had met Mrs. Li Guogong the day before her death.

Mrs. Li Guogong, that is, Ji Min's grandmother.

At that time, Mrs. Li Guogong led the two-year-old Ji Mi into the palace to meet the Queen Mother and Princess Lu, and met Chen Meiren on the way out of the palace.

Ji Min's grandmother once talked with Chen Meiren for a while, and the maid said that when the two separated, Chen Meiren seemed to be in tears, she had just cried, very painful and sad.

On the second day, Chen Meiren was found dead in her own palace.

At that time, the imperial physician also came to check and said that he died of a sudden "heart disease".

However, the maid who was beside Chen Meiren at that time said that the night before, that is, the night when Chen Meiren was separated from Mrs. Li Guogong, Chen Meiren did not sleep very well. She was very frightened in her dream and kept talking in her sleep. And he called Mrs. Li's name a few times.

Such confessions all reveal, or lead people to guess or believe that Mrs. Li Guogong and Chen Meiren's death are closely related.

Hearing this, Ji Jun sneered and said,
"She mentioned Mrs. Li Guogong in her dream, but now Mrs. Li Guogong, Xi'er's grandmother is gone. So, does Xi'er have to help clarify this matter? If a two-year-old child can't clarify, this basin of sewage will have to Then? Where did this reason come from! If Chen Meiren dreamed that it was the Jade Emperor, how could they still go to heaven?"

Li Mi gathered the skin of the roasted sweet potato that had been peeled off, and her tone was calm, showing no signs of anger or anger, but what she said made Ji Jun very uneasy,
"Now, the Holy Majesty wants to know what exactly Grandma and Chen Meiren said. When the two of them were talking, each of them had a nanny with them, but both grandma and my nanny were gone. The matter of Chen Meiren broke out. Afterwards, the nanny who accompanied Chen Meiren was found to have jumped into the well!"

Ji Jun was shocked!
So, doesn't it mean that the only "witness" is the two-year-old Ji Min!
However, is it child's play to ask Xi'er to recall the events of two years old?
Li Mi continued,
"Eunuch Wu from Xichang recommended an expert who knows Zhu Youshu. According to rumors, not to mention the memory of three or two years old, even the memory of the previous life can be detected!"

"Hypnotism"!
These three words always pop up in Ji Yun's mind!
Thinking of this, Ji Jun's soles felt cold!
"Absolutely not!" Ji Yun flatly refused!
First of all, who can guarantee that Eunuch Wu has no selfish intentions?
Who can guarantee the absolute fairness of this expert who can "Zhu Youshu"?
If, for a certain purpose, they manipulate you to say what they need, if it is irrelevant, that's fine. In case, it is about the life and death of Li Guogong's mansion, wouldn't it be rushing to hand over the knife handle to others? ?
"But?" Ji Jun suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Mi,

"Big cousin, a beauty, why is it so troublesome?"

According to Ji Yun's understanding of the situation in this era, Xi'er's grandmother is a first-rank imperial order, while Chen Meiren is a ninth-rank concubine in the palace.

To put it bluntly, Xi'er's grandmother beat Chen Meiren in broad daylight!Even if Chen Meiren is killed, Mrs. Li Guogong will not be punished too severely!

It's not that Ji Yun thinks that everyone in Chen Mei's life is worthless, but that this matter is a bit "overwhelming".

If it is really taken seriously, wouldn't it be easier for the investigation of Chen Meiren's death just now, when the witnesses and evidences were all complete, at least more than now.

After many years, when the investigation is resumed, it can only rely on the memories of the people who were present at the time. After the polishing of time, how much authenticity is left in this memory?
Li Mi sighed,

"The nanny who threw the well said that it has something to do with the "Zhenbaolou"."

Ji Jun understood a little bit, that is to say, it doesn't matter whether it's this beauty Chen or this nanny who jumped into the well.

In short, now, the Holy One believes that Li Guogong controls the "Treasure Tower".

And now is the time node of that "prophetic poem"!

Those few poems in Mi'er's dream, I think the Holy Majesty knows some of them.

The Holy One is worried about Li Guogong, or someone will control the "Treasure Tower" through Li Guogong, and carry out a change of dynasty!

But what is this "Treasure Building"!

"It is precisely because no one knows what the "Treasure Tower" is that the Holy One is so impatient."

Li Mi said, feeling very relieved in his heart, Ji Jun was not very clear about the ins and outs of the matter, but it was not easy to be able to consider so many things through clues.

Li Mi went on to persuade,
"What you are worried about is actually what the two important relatives of the royal family, King Guangning and King Jiangxia, are worried about. So, at present, we are only investigating inside the palace, and have not disturbed outside the palace."

That's right, Prince Guangning and Prince Jiangxia always have no other thoughts.

When the current Holy Majesty first succeeded to the throne, he was struggling.

Especially among the royal relatives and meritorious families, many people didn't think much of him.

Empress Nangong, Concubine Shangguan Shu and Concubine Han De were all civil servants.

At that time, neither southern nor northern borders were peaceful.

It seems that the Holy Majesty is jealous of the Duke of Li, so he deliberately disregarded the orders of the ancestors and married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qin's mansion. He has a Yue family who holds a heavy army and is also the Duke of the founding of the country. Many people are either willing or not. shut up.

From the beginning to the end, the King of Guangning and the King of Jiangxia supported the current emperor.

However, the problem now arises again, whether to make Qin Guifei's son the crown prince?
Li, in the future, the son is weak and the mother is strong, especially the grandparent's family has a heavy army. Isn't it like repeating the precedents of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty?
No, among the other princes, who can compete with Qin Guogong?

Unless, Li Guogong!

Or, that mysterious "Treasure Building"? !

The Holy Majesty is now in a hurry to go to the doctor, hoping that Xi'er will know something about the "Zhenbaolou".

However, Ji Yun always felt that there was something that didn't make sense.

Alas, what a hassle!

If you want to start a good business, find an errand in Dali Temple and live a normal life, why is it so difficult!
Li wrapped the remaining sweet potatoes and handed them to Ji Jundao,

"Han Shizi thinks this is more like a game, and there is a pusher behind it. Otherwise, that nanny would not throw herself into the well sooner or later, but Chen Meiren's soul appeared here, and she threw herself into the well there!"

Ji Jun took it, the cloth bag was still warm and smelled fragrant.Xindao, no one thinks it's useless, the key depends on what the Holy Majesty plans.

In the previous life, Ji Min had to enter the palace later, is there also a reason for this?

It is most appropriate to put people under your nose!

However, who would have thought that the second prince would take the lead in forcing the palace!

Not only that, the second prince also killed the king and seized the throne!
Fortunately, so far, the Second Prince has kept a low profile!
But the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are very active!

The fifth prince helped with the Qiu Wei exam in the Ministry of Rites.

The fourth prince is responsible for the reception and entertainment of envoys from various countries in Honglu Temple.

The third prince first practiced in the military department, and now he went to the household department.

There is only this second prince, who is said to be eating, drinking and having fun all day long, doing nothing.

The Holy Majesty asked him to go to the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the city defense construction, and he took his brother-in-law to be greedy for building materials, and the Holy Majesty was so angry!

The Holy Majesty sent him to the House of Internal Affairs to help out, and as a result, it is said that he fell in love with a court lady!
Although the court lady is not a concubine, she is a person from the inner palace after all, and she can be regarded as his father's woman!

To put it too big, it is tantamount to meddling with the emperor's woman, which is very ugly!

It was not his business to choose a concubine this time, but the second prince insisted on picking a side concubine from among these noble girls!
The emperor was so angry that he jumped!It is said that he picked up the inkstone and threw it at the second prince!
And a side concubine!

You yourself have a main concubine and a side concubine, and indeed you still lack a side concubine, but you have more than a dozen concubines in your house!
I'm not afraid that your Prince's Mansion won't fit!
The second prince avoided the inkstone, pouted his neck and said,
"I don't like those women! I want to pick one I like!"

The emperor was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, furious,
"You want to pick someone you like! I also want to pick someone you like! You have a serious tone! What's wrong with the girl that your mother and I picked for you, you don't like it?"

The second prince feels wronged, honestly,
"That's what you think is good! I don't like it! Anyway, I can't do anything well! I can't even want a woman I like!"

"Get out!" The emperor gave a "lion's roar" and drove the second prince out of the imperial study!
That's great!That's great!
Ji Jun saw that it was getting late, and it was time to go back to "Good Neighbor" and bring his son back to Huai'an Hou Mansion.

Li Mi quietly took Ji Jun's master and servant to a secluded alley, and sent them to an unremarkable carriage that had already been prepared.

Ji Yun sat still, only to hear someone knocking on the car window lightly outside.

Haitang and Shaoyao winked and didn't move. Ji Jun lifted the curtain helplessly, and saw that it was Li Mi, feeling a little unnatural.
"Is something wrong?"

Li Mi's eyes are gentle, as warm as the melting snow in spring, full of concern and authenticity,
"Miss Meilin from the Marquis of Huai'an may be selected. I heard that this woman is not simple, you and Xi'er should be careful!"

Merlin was selected!
Ji Jun's heart was shocked!
Could it be that the previous life repeats itself?
