1611 first daughter 42

They were just the imperial residence, yet all the courtiers were giving gifts like this.

What would the emperor think if the emperor knew about this?

The powerful courtiers were most afraid of the emperor's suspicions, especially when Ji Xingchen controlled the secret guards. Now, he was even secretly hiding the news that Xiao Yao was a jackal from the emperor.

That night, Xia Ling could not sleep.

She wanted to talk to Ji Xingchen.

However, Ji Xingchen returned. He rubbed her hair and said that it was fine.

Xia Ling did not understand.

*

A few days later, Ji Xingchen suddenly had someone pick out the heavy gifts that were stored in the treasury.

He pulled a full ten carriages and brought the list with him to the Palace Treasury.

This matter was done in a very low-key manner, but the people who should know still knew.

The person who gave the gifts was angry and furious. He wanted nothing more than to cut the JI family into a thousand pieces... ...

In this day and age, who wouldn't have something fishy about being an official?

King Ji had sent the list and the gifts to the palace. Wasn't this sending their dirt to the Emperor?

For the next few days, who knew how many people couldn't sleep.

*

Xia Ling didn't expect Ji Xingchen and King Ji to be so ruthless.

Ji Xingchen was a person favored by the sacred heart and the sharpest dagger in the emperor's hand.

What he could not lose was the sacred heart, and doing so was the right thing to do!

Xia Ling saw this level, but she did not expect Ji Xingchen to have a backup plan.

Half a month later, someone on the canal suddenly wrote a letter and directly remonstrated, revealing the truth of the court officials forming cliques, controlling the canal, and corruption.

The emperor was furious in the court and reprimanded half of the court officials. Some were demoted, and some were confiscated.

When Xia Ling heard about the canal, she first thought of Gu Wuwei.

Gu Wuwei's ancestor was from the Canal Transport Gang. He had looked for Ji Xingchen and worked together with JI yuan for more than two months. This matter was definitely not simple.

Then..

Hai Hai Prompted Xia Ling and let her see a list of names.

These were the officials who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country later in the plot. These names, which had appeared in the plot, were marked red by Hai Hai and appeared in front of Xia Ling.

In the list of names revealed by the Canal transport this time, more than half of them were the officials who later surrendered and colluded with the enemy.

Xia Ling did not believe that Ji Xingchen was not involved in this.

*

The capital was in turmoil, but as the person involved, Ji Xingchen had nothing to do.

He would bring Xia Ling around the capital every day.

Pastries from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, meat slices from Sichuan and Sichuan... ...

As long as it was special, there was nothing Ji Xingchen had not eaten before.

They were dressed casually and brought along a doctor. Silver needles were used to test poison, and whatever was edible or inedible was under the doctor's control.

Xia Ling asked Ji Xingchen, "aren't you busy? "

Ji Xingchen held Xia Ling's hand. "You little thing, you're too heartless. I have to create more memories for you. If I really die on the battlefield, I'll ask you to marry someone else. However, no matter where you go in the capital, you'll see the shadow of me treating you well. "

Xia Ling: "Big Brother, has anyone ever said that you're really full of bad ideas? "

Ji Xingchen: "No. Only those who praise me for my gentle looks and ruthless ways. I've never been bad. When I can be bad, those people are all dead. "

Xia Ling:"..."

The matter of parting seemed to be taken lightly by the two of them.

However, looking at Ji Xingchen and the situation in the capital, Xia Ling could guess that the matter of Xiao Yao going back was most likely going to happen.

*

Xiao Yao and Xiao Tianai got married half a month ago in the JI kingdom.

Now that Xiao Yao had a son-in-law, some voices could be heard in the imperial court.

[ Xiao Yao is already a citizen of the JI kingdom. The Ji Kingdom can ask Xiao Yao to return and subdue the Xiao Kingdom on behalf of the JI kingdom before surrendering to the JI kingdom. This way, the Ji Kingdom can obtain the territory of the Xiao Kingdom without wasting a single soldier. ]
