"My friend Rong Lan, have you been safe for a long time?

I heard that my friend became the Emperor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, so I felt so relieved.

I heard that Sun Ping'an came to the world and was very happy.

I wanted to come and visit, but I was reluctant to suffer from illness and could not recover for a long time. I was unable to travel far, so I was afraid that I had not had enough time.

The only concern in my heart needs to be entrusted to you.

On the fifth day of the fifth month, Shenxing will wait for a reunion in Qingyang City."

After Yuan Qiu finished reading it, he handed the letter to Su Mo, and then listened to Rong Lan's explanation, "Ji Yang, the name is Shenxing. This is his handwriting."

Ji Qingqian was talented when she was young and wrote very well. Rong Lan still remembered that on her grandmother's birthday, Ji Qingqian gave him a thick book of scripture copied by him, which was quite thoughtful. It was also that time that the Rong family realized that Ji Qingqian had an intention to Rong Lan, but because Rong Lan and Ji Xu had a long engagement, he warned Rong Lan not to be more arrogant.

The past is vivid, Rong Lan still remembers the elegant and weak prince, but this letter puzzled her.

Ji Longqian claimed to be ill for a long time and had not had much time?

Ji Ming was weak and sickly since childhood, but according to the Rong family's inference, Ji Ming was probably the son of the Ghost Taoist. The Ghost Taoist could take out treasures like the Nine-Turn Pill, so he shouldn't have saved Ji Ming.

Moreover, Ji Xiaoqian should have known that Rong Lan's daughter Yuan Qiu was a miracle doctor, so why did he not want to seek medical treatment? It seemed that he was hopeless and was ready to die.

Ji Ming also said that he had concerns and wanted to entrust Rong Lan?

This is even more strange. According to their investigation, Ji Yang has never gotten married for so many years, there are no women, and no children. What does he want to entrust?

And why did Ji Long choose to write to Rong Lan at this time? The letter did not mention the previous incidents or the changes in the Western Liao royal family, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and he had no idea.

But if this letter came quickly, Ji Chang had already taken action against Ji Yang when the letter was sent.

If so, Ji Qingqin still made an appointment with Rong Lan in the letter to meet Qingyang City on the fifth day of the fifth month. Then Ji Qingqin was sure that Ji Chang could not do anything to him, and he could continue to stay in Qingyang City?

The mastermind behind the investigation suddenly took the initiative to find Rong Lan. Is he really innocent? Or is he confident?

Jun Zihuan said coldly, "Train! It's definitely a trap! Say something that makes us confused. If my mother really goes, he will reveal his true face!"

Rong Yuanruo shook his head, "Of course I can't go! He said he was dying of illness, who knows the truth? If he wants to see his mother, come here by himself!"

Rong Lan sighed softly, "I really met Ji Xu on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year when I was fifteen years old. That time I returned to Beijing from the army and went to the palace to have a banquet with my father. In the imperial garden, I saw Ji Xu and Ji Xu having a dispute. The reason was that Ji Xu almost pushed Ji Xu into the lake, and I stepped forward to stop him. Ji Xu pretended to be nothing and said that he would take me to row a boat. I took Ji Xu away and relieved Ji Xu. Later, he gave me a painting to thank me, which was the way I walked past the street wearing armor and horses on the day I returned to Beijing, but I didn't accept it."

At that time, Rong Lan was just an upright and kind little girl. She did what she thought she should do and never thought about what kind of grudges and entanglements they would have in the future.

But obviously, the day agreed in Ji Long's letter was not chosen casually, and it has special significance to him.

Although the whole article is very polite, Su Mo just felt a threat, as if saying: If Rong Lan doesn't go, she will definitely regret it.

Rong Lan frowned, "Maybe, I should go and meet him in person. No matter what kind of grudges, I should finish it."

Rong Yuancheng expressed disagreement, "Mom, if we guess it is true, Ji Yang is the son of a ghost Taoist. He is just a madman. Mom can't get close to him. Who knows what crazy things he will do?"

"Yes, Aunt Rong can't go." You Wu looked serious.

Yuan Qiu thought, "Actually, if I wasn't pregnant, I could go and explore the truth and reality in the name of treating Ji Yang."

Su Mo nodded, "It's better for my mother to reply to Ji Qing, saying that Qiu'er's medical skills are excellent and he can treat him, but Qiu'er is in poor health now, so please be sure to come to Wan'an City to meet him. In this way, we will respond to his letter."

Rong Lan sighed slightly, "Okay."

She really wanted to settle the grudges and grudges with the Ji royal family of the Western Liao Kingdom as soon as possible, but she also knew that it would be very troublesome to have rash contact with Ji Ming.

Rong Lan quickly wrote a reply letter, which was very short, just like Ji Yang's letter, without mentioning their speculation about Ji Yang and what happened before. She only talked about Ji Yang saving her once. She now hopes to treat Ji Yang, but she must ask Ji Yang to come to Wan'an City because Yuan Qiu was pregnant and was inconvenient to travel far.

Su Mo sent someone to send the letter to Qingyang City. Let’s see what Ji Yang has to do next.

But Su Mo was always wondering what Ji Xun said was the "concern" that he wanted to entrust Rong Lan to Rong Lan? Is it just an excuse to lure Rong Lan over...

Mrs. Xin cares more about the marriage between You Wu and Rong Yuancheng, and discusses with Rong Lan that she wants to set the wedding date as soon as possible.

Because You Wu didn't know her birth date and horoscope, Rong Lan didn't find anyone to make up for the two of them. She had already settled down and there was no need to count it or not. She chose the most recent auspicious day, which was on the eighth day of the fifth month, and there was nearly a month left to prepare.

However, Mrs. Xin said that You Wu’s family only has her, so you don’t have to do anything complicated. Everything is simple, and You Wu also means this.

Rong Yuancheng respected You Wu's opinions and decided not to do it very well, but the days could not be done in advance. He was already the prince of Dongming Kingdom, and his princess would definitely attract the attention of all parties. You Wu's true background is relatively sensitive and does not intend to announce it to the public. He just thought that he had married a private daughter without any special identities. As for the ministers and the people of Dongming Kingdom, Rong Yuancheng didn't care.

Two more days later, the spy sent by Su Mo to Qingyang City to investigate finally sent back the news, but it was equivalent to no news.

According to the investigation, Ji Yangqian was enthroned by King Qingyang that year. After arriving at the fief, he has been living in seclusion for so many years and rarely contacts outsiders. However, under his governance, his fief Qingyang City changed from a remote and barren place to a wealthy city.

Any grievances in Qingyang City can go to the royal palace to find Ji Yang to preside over justice. He will send someone to investigate and deal with it fairly. On the 15th day of every month, the people in Qingyang City can see Ji Yang because he will drag his sick body out to dress up porridge in person.

Ji Qing provided houses and food to the elderly and the people who had no support, forced young people to go to open up land and farm, set up free schools in the city, and arranged for his guests to enlighten the children. In the early years, he would also go there in person, but later because his body did not allow him, he rarely went there again.

Ji Qingqian had a woman who had followed him for many years, but the two were just masters and servants. Ji Qingqian had never gotten married and had no children. He was worried about making the people of Qingyang City live a better life. Because he was exempted from taxes on his fiefdom and dispersed his family wealth to help the people open a school, he lived a very hard life.

Therefore, Ji Qingyang King was respected and loved by the people of Qingyang City. Many people would go to the temple to pray for Ji Qingyang on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, hoping that he would get rid of his illness as soon as possible and live a hundred years of life.

All the above are the obvious things investigated.

There is no evidence that Ji Feng is pretending, these are fake. Whether he is really false or not, whether he has another face, it is at least certain that he has really done these good deeds.

Su Mo sent someone to investigate for so long, but no problems were found. Judging from the results, Ji Feng was innocent and clean.

"It seems that he is like a Bodhisattva, a perfect good person." Yuan Qiu said.

"Qiuer, do you believe it?" Su Mo asked.

Yuan Qiu nodded, "I believe that these things were done by him, but I don't believe that this is his true face. Unless everything has nothing to do with him, we suspect him from the beginning, it's wrong. But if we are wrong, who is the son of the ghost Taoist? Who is secretly making trouble? It's not like a person we don't know, but this is targeting us like this? Could it be that besides Ji Xu and Ji Yang, the Western Liao royal family also has an admirer who my mother doesn't know, and who can crush Ji Xu? This possibility almost does not exist."

A bad person does good things, even if the good things are true, he cannot be a good person. Because it may be to cover up evil deeds, to gain a good reputation, or for some other purpose.

"I want to know more about what will happen if Ji Chang takes action against Ji Qian." Su Mo said. Calculate the time, no matter what the situation is, news will soon be heard.

Three days later late at night.

Su Mo and Yuan Qiu were sleeping soundly, Qingfeng came to report, and hesitated and knocked on the door.

Yuan Qiu woke up in a daze. Su Mo was carefully about to get out of bed. When she saw that she woke up, she tucked her quilt and patted her on the shoulder, "Sleep, I'll go and have a look."

Yuan Qiu nodded, but after Su Mo went out, he rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly. It was possible that Qingfeng would choose to wake them up in the middle of the night. Something big thing must have happened, and Yuan Qiu could no longer sleep.

In order to avoid disturbing Yuanqiu, Su Mo took Qingfeng away and entered the viewing pavilion.

"Master, something happened!" Qing Feng's face was solemn, "Ji Chang is dead."

Su Mo's eyes froze slightly, "How did you die?"

"He was cut off his head, and the complete body was placed on the dragon chaise in a sitting position. The cut head was placed on his neck and a black cloth was covered with his head. When someone was discovered during the morning court, the eunuch told him that he had no sound and went to lift the black cloth, and his head rolled to the ground." Qingfeng frowned and said.

It is so detailed because such a horrible thing has spread in the Western Liao Kingdom and will soon be known to everyone in the world.

The people who killed Ji Chang were not only extremely powerful, but also extremely ruthless. In the end, Ji Chang died in a funny way on the throne he had been chasing for the rest of his life. The perpetrator left no clues, as if he was asking for his life.

Su Mo's expression was slightly dark, "Why did you say something happened?" If Ji Chang was just dead, although it was unexpected, it was not good or bad for them, because Ji Chang was also one of Rong Lan's enemies. He did not kill him before because there were more difficult enemies that had not been resolved yet, so Ji Chang was kept for the time being.

Ji Chang's beloved concubine and his only son were still in Rong Guo Duke's mansion. Calculate the time, before Ji Chang died, he was destined to not receive the good news from his subordinates, and he didn't know that his son had been born safely.

But Qingfeng was so anxious, as if something happened to her own people.

Qingfeng frowned and said, "Master, the new emperor who succeeded to the throne of the Western Liao Kingdom is nothing but Ji Fengyuan!"

This is the reason why Qingfeng said "thing something happened" and called Su Mo in the middle of the night. Ji Chang died as soon as he died. He originally asked him to bite the dog with Ji Feng, but he didn't expect him to fight Ji Feng, but he just died faster than they expected. But Ji Fengyuan was already an open person. At this time, he should have arrived with Lu Zhe on the way back to Wan'an City soon, but he became the new emperor of the Western Liao Kingdom!

Did Ji Fengyuan betray them, or did he deceive them from the beginning? Or was Ji Fengyuan intercepted and controlled halfway and forced to sit on the throne that he originally pursued but later decided to give up?

Su defaulted to it, the latter. Because Ji Fengyuan didn't have that great ability to deceive Rong Yuancheng and him. If Ji Fengyuan was really along with the mastermind behind the scenes, then Ji Fengyuan's most valuable approach now is to come to Wan'an City as a meticulous work, rather than returning to Western Liao to be a puppet emperor.

"Is there any news about Lu Zhe?" Su Mo asked coldly.

Qingfeng shook his head, "No news about Prince Lu."

"Go and check again." Su Mo finished speaking and turned back to the room.

When he entered the door, he saw Yuan Qiu leaning on the bed, Su Mo walked over quickly, "Why are you getting up?"

"What happened?" Yuan Qiu asked.

Su Mo went to bed, sat outside, hugged Yuan Qiu and leaned against him, and told Yuan Qiu what Qingfeng had just reported.

"What? Ji Fengyuan?" Yuan Qiu looked shocked.

"He must have been caught back halfway." Su Mo said, "Ji Fengqian was indeed fearless and did not take Ji Chang seriously at all. Even Ji Xu was taken down without knowing it. It is actually normal for Ji Chang to have such a result. Letting Ji Fengyuan sit on the throne of Western Liao is to tell us again that he doesn't care about the throne."

"I'm really confused. What exactly does Ji Yang want?" Yuan Qiu frowned, "Is it really Ji Yang? What he did in Qingyang City is completely contrary to what happened to the Western Liao royal family today. If his purpose of doing good deeds over the years has something to do with his mother, then he would not have been against us. The Qingyang King of Qingyang City is not like the same person as the mastermind behind our doubts."

"Let's go to bed first, and I'll discuss with my mother how to deal with it tomorrow." Su Mo lay down with Yuan Qiu in his arms.

"Where is Lu Zhe?" Yuan Qiu asked.

Su Mo shook his head, "He should have been with Ji Fengyuan, but he has not found out about him. But he can be treated as a hostage against us, and nothing will happen."

Yuan Qiu nodded slightly, and after lying down, he was no longer sleepy. After thinking for a long time, he asked Su Mo softly, "Can we be the one who is wrong? It's not Ji Yang at all..."

"Based on the current evidence, I still think it was him." Sumo said, "Let's go to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow."

At this time, the Imperial Palace of the Western Liao Kingdom.

Ji Fengyuan was wearing a dragon robe and sat behind the dragon desk in the imperial study, his face as deep as water.

Lu Zhe was also there, slightly closing his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The third person in the room, facing away from them, looked up at a sword hanging on the wall, and looked at it for a long time before reaching out to take it off.

"Actually, Ji Xu is still alive." The man spoke, his voice clear and gentle.
