Chapter 77

After the banquet, Nanrong Qingyun and Sima Yiyi faced off, and He Lianyi and Changsun Ziyi competed for the No.3 in the martial arts performance.

In the end, Nanrong Qingyun won, Sima Yanyi ranked second, Changsun Ziyi ranked third, and He Lianyi ranked fourth.

The triennial martial arts performance finally came to an end.

Nanrong Qingyun was directly proclaimed into the court to make up for the vacancy in the military department. Although his position was low, he was in charge of the guarding of the entire imperial capital, with [-] imperial guards in his hands.

Sima Yiyi inherited the title of county king and was granted the right to participate in court affairs.

The eldest grandson Ziyi even directly entered the cabinet with a solid tongue and assumed the post of speaker.

The chaotic situation between North Korea and China seems to have calmed down.

With the re-entry of the aristocratic family, Qingxuan's internal affairs, which were already undercurrent and turbulent, became even more unpredictable.

When he left the palace, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The carriage swayed and moved forward in the night.

Ye Yao looked at Ye Qingzhi, who was sitting opposite her respectfully, with deep eyes.

"Sister, did I do something wrong to make my sister unhappy?" Ye Qingzhi asked submissively with an aggrieved expression.

In fact, not to mention how excited she was, it was probably because she was favored by the queen mother, which made Ye Yao feel uncomfortable. No wonder her face was so ugly. With this idiot, if it wasn't for the protection of the Duke, she would be nothing!

"You are generous and decent, what's wrong?" Ye Yao asked back.

Ye Qingzhi held the handkerchief in her hand and said nothing.

The carriage slowly headed towards the Duke's mansion, with Ye Yao leaning beside him.

What she was worried about was the situation in the court. The emperor didn't mention the Duke's matter. Now that the family is reused again, the situation will become more complicated.

If you can find a chance, you can just retire.However, this requires the help of Sima Fengji.

Today is also strange, when I left the palace, I didn't see Sima Fengji.

……

"Empress Dowager, hold the lamp."

The room suddenly brightened up, and the nurse holding the lamp immediately stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother up from the cushion.

This is a forbidden place in the Empress Dowager's Palace, no one can enter except the Empress Dowager and her.In the entire house, there is only one mourning hall.The tablet is empty, not even a name.

On the tablet, one after another knife marks can be faintly seen, which is shocking in such an environment.

On the side stood a jar containing the ashes of a person.And this person is definitely a taboo in front of the Queen Mother.

Exactly how much hatred is enough to make a person unable to be buried after death, turning his body into ashes.And on the unnamed tablet, there will be a severe punishment!
The queen mother looked up at the memorial tablet, a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, revealing a hint of hatred faintly.

"Can Yi Yi regain the county throne?"

"Hui Niangniang, you have already inherited the title of Prince Jing."

The Queen Mother turned around and walked aside, Qiu Rong seemed to hear a soft, imperceptible sigh.

"Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to yourself. Is there something wrong with Miss Ye's only letting that concubine stare at her? Do you want to send more servants..."

"No need, she has won the infinite lottery, and there is such a chance, Aijia just doesn't want to cause trouble, if it is also a worry, just deal with it."

"Yes." Qiu Rong nodded immediately.

The queen mother glanced at the memorial tablet again, turned and walked towards the door.The sky was as black as ink, with a clear moon hanging, which made her feel a little cool.

"Sima Fengji, the debt they owe to the Ai family, you will not be able to pay it off in this lifetime!"

……

It's not that Sima Fengji didn't want to send Ye Yao back to the Duke's mansion, but because he had other worries. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to Prince Liu's mansion.

Dongfang Yu and Nan Fufeng were all waiting at the mansion.

He glanced at Dongfang Yu coldly, walked to the side and sat down.

"Congratulations." Nan Fufeng smiled and cupped his hands towards Sima Fengji, "There is a girl in the Ye family who is just growing up, and it is the flowers that are blooming and waiting for you to pick them."

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly is the poison on her body?" Sima Fengji was still a little worried, and asked Nan Fufeng in a cold voice.

"It's the Mara flower. When I was at Wujimen, I read about this kind of flower in a medical book. The flower in her body should have been brought from the mother's womb, so it was just deposited in her body and hidden in the womb. It is not fatal, but if the toxin is not excreted, she may not be able to give birth."

"Moluohua?" Sima Fengji had never heard of this kind of poison before.

"This kind of flower can cause blood collapse in pregnant women, and the fetus can be affected by toxins. It's hard to save their lives. It's really strange, but Miss Ye was able to be born safely. Who is her mother?"

Sima Fengji suddenly thought of the bizarre scene he saw in Lianhua Temple.

"You don't have to worry at all now, the poison in her body has been forced out, and it will definitely not have any effect in the future." Nan Fufeng raised his hand to promise.

"Has there been any news from the person who investigated the Wuyu Department?"

"Not yet." Dongfang Yu immediately shook his head, "However, those people have disappeared recently, and I'm afraid they won't dare to act rashly for a long time."

Sima Fengji was thoughtful, but did not make a sound.

Nan Fufeng who was at the side suddenly came forward with a smile, and sat beside him, "Senior brother, you probably don't understand this matter between men and women, right?"

Sima Fengji raised his eyebrows, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.Why do you understand this matter between men and women, why don't you understand it?

"Daughters like Miss Ye's family are much more delicate than flowers, so don't accidentally hurt her." Nan Fufeng couldn't help reminding again.

"How about Xiangsiyin's antidote?" Sima Fengji asked in a deep voice.

"Soon, soon." Nan Fufeng knew that the joke was a little too big, and immediately said: "I'll go back and see if the last blind ingredient has been brought back."

Seeing Nan Fufeng leave, Dongfang Yu also stood up, "It suddenly occurred to me that I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." After saying that, he fled away.

Sima Fengji sat aside, leaning on the back of the chair.

"Ji'er! You are not the empress dowager's son. She will kill you sooner or later. All mistakes are the mother's fault. You go with the mother now. Even if the mother gives up everything, she will protect you!"

The bloody setting sun dyed the world a scarlet red.

The light of the knife flashed, and the blood streaked through the sky and dyed him all over!
"Ji'er!"

He woke up suddenly, the lights in the house were blown out by the wind at some point, and the endless darkness was like a bloody mouth, trying to swallow him.

In the darkness, he rubbed the center of his brows, and after a while, he opened the window with a wave of his sleeve, and a cool breeze blew in, dissipating the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

He walked out, leaped, and disappeared into the dark night.

……

He Lianyin had just taken a bath, and walked towards the bedroom, when he suddenly found another figure in the room.

"What wind brought Lord Liu here?" He casually walked aside, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water.

He wasn't surprised by Sima Fengji's intention to come.
