Chapter 100:
On the eve of the lunar new year, Song Hai rushed back to the capital. He didn’t even have time to go home. He went directly to the palace to meet the Emperor. Because of the new year’s, Ji Heng no longer deals with political affairs.
Song Hai brings good news. The bones of Mr. Ji and his wife have been found. The body was shackled. A man and a woman died of knife wounds. It should be Mr. and Mrs. Ji. Together, they also found several man bones. It seems that only Fang Jun survived that night. Because there was no emperor’s will, Song Hai did not move those bones but left two people to guard in.
It’s freezing in the wild. The two of them must have a very unforgettable year.
This fact also strangled the last fluke in Ji Heng’s heart. Because of something hidden in his heart, he dares not to let Ji Zhao know the truth that his parents’ bones have found for the time being. Otherwise, he will not be doubted.
Ji Heng shook his head and told Song Hai, “from now on, I’m going to go all out to hunt down those who were involved in the assassination, and I’m sure that no one will stay alive. ”
“According to the order. Emperor, Fang Jun’s martial arts are excellent. Now his body has basically recovered. Do you want him to help with the investigation? “Song Hai can’t help it. The people they want to kill are all experts. If Fang Jun helps them, they will save a lot of energy.
Ji Heng knew Song Hai’s idea. He also hoped that he would kill everyone earlier and nodded, “OK. But it must be kept secret from anyone. Especially Ji Zhao. ”
“Yes. ”

This year, Ning Wang’s residence was a little lonely. Apart from the bustle brought by the guests’ visiting, other times, such a large mansion seemed remote. There is only one master in such a big house, and he likes to be quiet.
The old housekeeper muttered, waiting to marry the princess. Ji Zheng didn’t know what to think of. He took the corner of his mouth and smiled gently.
During the Spring Festival, Ji Zheng’s people who stayed in Liaodong returned several times and told him important news.
“So the Emperor also found out? “Ji Zheng listened to the story and was very strange.” how did they find it? It’s hard to find that place. ”
“Back to the Lord, those people didn’t bring back Ji Qingyun boney. They guard it. ”
“The emperor must know something, but “Ji Zheng was even more puzzled.” why didn’t he bring back Ji Qingyun’s bones after he found them so that Ji Heng gets more plus point in front of ah Qi, but he leave someone to watch? What does that mean? ”
“That’s exactly what I don’t understand. ”
“Anyway, our original plan remains unchanged. When spring comes, Tian Qi should go to Liaodong. Then you must keep up with it and act on your own. ”
“Those two people? ”
“Kill. ”
This year, Ji Resident is even colder than the palace of Ning. Her family doesn’t have many children for several generations. Apart from her mother’s family and several relatives, there is no other. And all of her relatives are in Gusu. Ji Zhao is a girl. It’s not easy to travel thousands of miles to visit the house. So, she sends her housekeeper to visit with gifts.
During the new year, Ji Heng stopped by. He ran to Ji Zhao’s house for three nights and two days. Although the Empress Dowager thought that a big man who was always wandering around the girl’s house is not good, her son was crazy. As his mother, she opened one eye and closed one eye without saying anything.
In the twinkling of an eye, on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, men and women would stroll on the street that night, and bold lovers would hold hands. Ji Heng and Ji Zhao were going out for a date, but Ruyi wanted to follow. Ji Heng had to decide to take Ruyi, but Empress Dowager didn’t let Ruyi follow him. Ji Heng said to the empress dowager, “why don’t you come with us. ”
“Is it suitable for me to go? “She asked.
“If you don’t want to go -”
“Since you let me go, I’ll go. “She interrupted him before he finished.
Ji Heng took his mother and son out to find Ji Zhao. The Empress Dowager gave Ruyi two beautiful lanterns. When she met some beautiful lanterns on the road, or what Ruyi wanted, she bought some more. Ruyi’s left hand is a lotus with eight treasures. On the right side is a golden monkey looking at the moon.
Ji Zhao has learned that the Empress Dowager is coming, so she goes out ahead of time to wait for them. Seeing Ji Heng carrying his son out of the crowd, the Empress Dowager next to him holds a lantern. A bunch of lanterns is crowded together, like a huge basket of flowers. The lantern’s most conspicuous thing is a big white fat pig, bigger than the side lanterns and brighter. There is a sense of pride and the facial expression of the equally proud empress dowager. Ji Zhao greets them respectfully.
The Empress Dowager doesn’t hate Ji Zhao much either – the thing she hates most about Ji Zhao is that this girl can’t be hated. It’s just too annoying. At this time, Ji Zhao gives her a greeting, took over the lantern in her hand, and helped to hold it. She smiled and asked for help. The Empress Dowager was embarrassed and said a few words to her.
Ruyi’s legs were numb, so Ji Heng put him down to walk on his own. Ruyi takes Ji Zhao in his left hand and his grandmother in his right hand. He ignores his father and directly strolls with his short legs. Ji Heng temporarily shouldered the vital task of escort. There are also bodyguards hidden in the crowd.
There are always more words between women than between women and men, especially when there is a child between them. It’s time to talk. After a while, Ji Heng suddenly found that the other three had a good time and totally ignored him. Looking at the three most influential people in his life, he was delighted to be forgotten.
When Ji Zhao took Ruyi to buy tobacco flowers, the Empress Dowager finally thought of her son. She asked, “are you ready for your wedding day? ”
Ji Heng replied, “no, ah Zhao wants to go to Liaodong to find Mr. Ji’s bones first. ”
“t a filial child. But where to do such a thing, you should do it as soon as possible. ”
Ji Heng nodded, “OK. ”
* * *
After the 15th day of the first month, Ji Zhao is finally going to Liaodong. Ji Heng wanted to go with her, but he can’t. Instead, he sent enough people to protect Ji Zhao. He sent people to Liaodong in advance, waiting to lead Ji Zhao to Mr. Ji’s burial place.
Fang Jun is the guide of this trip. Ji Heng also used Zheng Shaofeng.
Ji Zhao follows Fang Jun to the place where he fell. The terrain here is low, and there seems to be a warm flow under the ground. Therefore, although the weather in Liaodong is still cold, the snow here has melted a lot, revealing a piece of dark brown land.
They searched a circle under the cliff and found only the bones of two wild animals, but not the bones of anyone. There is no direct death news, which is at least good news.
Ji Zhao assigned all the staff to the nearby village to inquire. She stood under the cliff and looked up at the withered vine on the cold stone wall.
“What is that?” Zheng Shaofeng said suddenly
“People. “Fang Jun replied.
Ji Zhao turned around and saw that they had run to the slope opposite the cliff. It seemed that a man was lying on the ground. He had not been found just now. He should have just rolled down the slope.
She also walked over and saw that there were several stab wounds on the man. The blood mixed with snow water left and washed away the mud on the injury. It seemed shocking.
Fang Jun squatted down to check his injury and couldn’t help frowning.
The man’s face was stained with mud, too much blood loss, and pale. His lips were dry, and his mouth was lifeless. He said, “My enemies have hunted me down. My life is not long. Don’t worry about me, great Xia. Please don’t get involved because of me. ”
Three people look at each other. Although they can’t participate in other people’s Jianghu enemies, most people don’t have the determination to die. Ji Zhao thought about it and asked, “why did your enemy pursue you? “She felt that if he had done anything evil, he wouldn’t have in this situation.
“Because I know the secret that I shouldn’t say. “His voice is getting smaller and smaller.
Fang Jun and Zheng Shaofeng unconsciously look at Ji Zhao. “Ji Zhao said,” save him first. ”
But the man was stubborn. “Leave me alone. My enemy is powerful. ”
“How big can it be. “Zheng Shaofeng said he didn’t care. He wiped a wound for him and motioned for Fang Jun to first give him some gold sore medicine.
“He is the Emperor. ”
Three people are stunned at the same time. Fang Jun looks at the people on the ground and Ji Zhao. He looks confused. He held up the vial of the medicine. The powder poured out. He gave Ji Zhao a curious look.
Ji Zhao didn’t have any expression on her face. “Save him first. ”
