Feed the sick prince, start from the Krypton Gold Mall

Chapter 53: What a complicated government
Ji Nanxing was the instigator of the whole incident.
After realizing that Yanyan was Pei Yanli,

The pressure is great.

She collected a lot of information about Pei Yanli and found that in March of the beginning of the year, the emperor was very respectful to the empress and the Marquis of Ping'en Mansion, which was a typical harmonious relationship between the emperor and the empress.

But in mid-April, it was suddenly revealed that the Ping'en Marquisate was raising private soldiers, colluding with other countries, and plotting to usurp the throne...

Each charge is extremely serious, but the case was filed extremely quickly!

Ten days,

So many charges were laid.
No one was given a chance to overturn the verdict.
The entire family of Ping'en Marquis was executed.
He also forced the queen to death and deposed the prince.

Looking back on his several encounters with the emperor, Emperor Wenxuan was cruel, but not stupid.

It is unlikely that he was bewitched by some treacherous ministers. The daughter of Marquis Ping'en is the queen, the grandson is the crown prince, and the son is the commander-in-chief of the army. There is no need for him to betray his country and seek the throne...

Upon closer thought, this massacre of an entire family gives people the feeling that it was a reckless act, just for the sake of killing!

The emperor, kills for the sake of killing!

When he initially came to this conclusion, Ji Nanxing was also shocked.

However, if this conclusion is to be supported, there are traces to be found.

For example, in the cold palace, Emperor Wenxuan did not show up when Pei Yanli was about to die;
For example, Pei Yanli asked her for medicine to save the emperor, but he was sent to the battlefield the next moment;
Another example is that after finally struggling to get out of the cold palace, the emperor buried nuclear radiation on people near the wall;
And the death of Lord Tang Shen of the Dali Temple...

It seems that the emperor not only wants the queen's family to die, but also wants Pei Yanli to die!
"If you hate your son so much, is the child not your own?"

Ji Nanxing wanted to do a paternity test for them for free. "What a complicated official family. This is no better than a TV drama."

After she read the information,
If Pei Yanli was not Yanyan,
You must be looking forward to this kind of royal super gossip.

Unfortunately, now
For points,

She must keep Pei Yanli alive!

From last night till today,

His landmarks seemed to have never moved.

Just to be on the safe side, let's go see where he is.

Ji Nanxing recalled the perspective of Yan Yan that flashed across the game screen yesterday. Starting from the prison, he passed a blacksmith shop, a three-story restaurant, a sweet water restaurant, and a house under the eaves where he could see the Star-Picking Tower...

Looking at these 1:1 buildings,
She just felt stupid for not paying attention.

There are so many details in the game, but I didn't notice any of them.

Finally she followed the clue and stopped.

look around,

It’s actually near the Imperial Observatory.

She looked at the imposing gate of the Imperial Observatory and the soldiers guarding the door. If Pei Yanli was sent here in the end, there should be no danger.

Just when she was lost in thought, someone suddenly called her, "Miss Ji Er."

It’s Pei Jingcheng.

Because she was resentful about Pei Yanli being Yanyan, she felt strange when she looked at other people with the surname Pei.

But it seems...

Pei Jingcheng can make use of it.

Thinking of this, she curled her lips and revealed a professional fake smile, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, why are you here?"

"The mansion outside the Solitary Palace is nearby. It feels unexpected to meet Miss Ji Er here."

Pei Jingcheng followed her gaze and glanced at the gate of the Imperial Observatory. "Second Miss Ji is interested in the Imperial Observatory? Is it because of the miracle last night?"

"That's probably the reason. The fireworks last night were really scary."

"fireworks?"

When Pei Jingcheng heard this name, he read it carefully and said, "Last night's miracle was indeed like a flower blooming, followed by smoke and fog. This name is quite interesting."

“Hahaha…indeed.”

Ji Nanxing smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject, "I wonder what the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can predict from last night's celestial phenomena."

"Miss Ji Er is smart, why don't you guess what they can predict."

What the emperor needs, of course.
Whatever the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicts, this guess is not the result of divination, but a guess at the emperor's mind.

Such a dangerous thing,

She wouldn't take the bait.

Ji Nanxing curled his lips and asked, "What does the eldest prince think?"

"Hahaha, let the Imperial Observatory do this kind of thing."

Pei Jingcheng changed the subject, "A new chess club has recently opened in Beijing. I heard it's very interesting. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"I am honored to be invited by the Grand Prince."

She smiled, but in her heart she was complaining about how cunning he was, then she walked up to catch up with him.

This is a newly opened chess club.
Elegant decoration,

Exquisite and low-key,

It fits in well with the pretentious artistic style of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is rich and powerful but pretends to be low-key.

Sit in the private room on the second floor.
The window faces the center of the chess club, where a chessboard with black and white pieces facing each other is hung.

The black pieces crushed and surrounded the white pieces, forcing them into a dead end. Many people stopped at the bottom of the chessboard.

"This is one of the three chess pieces in Wenxuan Chess Club. If you can solve it, you will get ten thousand taels of silver. The first two pieces have been solved. Miss Ji, are you interested in trying the third one?"

Ji Nanxing retracted his gaze upon hearing this, "How many steps can your Highness the Crown Prince take in this endgame?"

Pei Jingcheng: "16 Sons"

"That's pretty good."

She took a sip from the cup in front of her. "This endgame can only go to 27 moves at most. Black will definitely lose."

Pei Jingcheng didn't expect her to answer like this, and was a little surprised. "If you say so, it means that the owner of this chess club is cheating? But he has already given away 20,000 taels of silver in the previous chess game."

"That means the owner of this chess club is a marketing genius."

Ji Nanxing propped up his face, put the tea back to its original place, picked up a piece of cake to taste, and said, "I have learned the essence of a word worth a thousand gold."

Pei Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, "One word is worth a thousand gold?"

"It's a story about a businessman named Lu Buwei. One day he wanted to promote a book he wrote, but the book didn't sell well.

To this end, he came up with a solution and posted a notice at the city gate.

The notice said that his book had been revised by many great scholars and was already very perfect. If anyone could change one word in the book, he would be given a thousand taels of gold.

Then his book sold very well.”

Pei Jingcheng heard this and looked at the endgame below, "It seems to be the case."

Originally, this chess club was opened here but no one was interested. However, after these endgames came into being, more and more talented people came here.

"It turns out that all businessmen are dishonest. These people can think of any way to make money."

“That’s not so bad, the boss of the chess club is just making a living.

belong……

A conscientious merchant. "

Ji Nanxing didn't think the other party had done anything wrong.

After all, if you don't rack your brains to do business well, how can you rack your brains to do charity?

“Is this good?”

Pei Jingcheng was somewhat surprised by her evaluation. "Then what does Miss Ji think an unscrupulous merchant is like?"

"Predatory type.

It's like robbing a business.

Once contaminated,
The kind that ruins the family, wipes out decades of savings in an instant, and even mortgages the future. "

Pei Jingcheng sat up straight subconsciously after hearing this: "Is there such a business?"
