Emperor Jin

Chapter 180
(The civil service training exam is coming soon, so it will be slower, everyone bear with it, it will be fine by the weekend)
The mechanism in the ruined palace was opened again, Ji Xin entered calmly, walked in the dark passage for a while, but didn't move forward, just touched the slightly damp wall for a while, and another secret door creaked open .

This was originally the abandoned palace of the old queen who was imprisoned more than a hundred years ago. Although there was only one secret passage for her to have an affair with her lover, after the royal family took over, they made many changes on the original basis. Never knew.

Ji Xin's heart was full of dark tides, but her steps were still steady. After a while, she finally reached the exit. She walked up from the exit, and looked from the courtyard, but she saw the bamboo curtains rolled down and the red candles burning brightly in the hall, as if she hadn't slept all night .

"Since you're here, come in!"

Song Lin held the scroll in his hand, didn't look up, and just said lightly.

Ji Xin took a look around the Shangshu's mansion, did not refuse, and replied indifferently: "Master Song has met with each other recently, but his interest has languished, which is really puzzling."

These words were quite profound, and to Song Lin's ears, they were not a bit of bitter sarcasm—this time, due to the dispute between the imperial party and the queen's party, several high-spirited and honest ministers were involved. Only the current Minister of the Household Department is detached and devoted to economic practice, which has won a lot of praise, and both parties have a good impression of him.

Song Lin didn't get angry, just raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you blaming me for not caring about His Highness Baojin and letting her take risks?"

Ji Xin sneered slightly, and said angrily: "Ming people don't talk dark words, you know that those in Ming Palace are not kind, but you keep pretending to be deaf and dumb, using your account book as a shield, and don't care about her life at all! "

She paused for a moment, but saw that Song Lin was still sneering slightly, and his aloof eyebrows were almost unwilling to move, so she became more angry, "You swore to follow His Royal Highness Baojin before, but now you want to break your promise and lose weight? Even if you She has no love for incense, and she should look at the old master—"

"enough!"

Song Lin's cold reprimand interrupted her righteous indignation. His eyebrows were raised higher, and the corners of his lips were almost condensed into furious and cold corners. "It's because of the old master that I don't want to go into this troubled water even more!"

Facing puzzled eyes, he continued, "Let's just explain this clearly today..."

He pointed to a tall pavilion facing away from the window, "'She' is still lying there, her true energy is retrograde, and she is extremely dangerous-this is because she was stimulated in Li Palace, and she has this madness!"

He said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with His Highness Bao Jin!"

Ji Xin was taken aback, but she was like falling into a cloud, and said anxiously: "But what happened today is extraordinary, His Highness Baojin seems to have been greatly frightened..."

She recounted what she had seen today, but saw that Song Lin's face was cloudy and uncertain. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and sneered, "It's another vicious woman who is setting up a trick! Your Highness Jia Baojin fell into the trap and was deceived into obsession Already!"

Seeing that Ji Xin was in a hurry, he waved his hands and sighed, "This matter is quite tricky, so you don't need to persuade me...Even if I use up all the bargaining chips in my hand, I still can't solve this deadlock—it's been many years, and the truth is already gone." Being completely obliterated, the Lord is unwilling to say more, and we ourselves are ignorant, so why should we persuade Empress Baojin?"

He glanced back at Ji Xin, and said with a mocking smile: "Besides, she is quite suspicious of your identity, so she won't listen to what you say."

Ji Xin was at a loss for words for a moment, and Song Qi sighed in a low voice: "If you are really worried, pay more attention to her movements - the other party designed this way, anyway, they want to prompt her to fight to the death with the other side, just watch the end Whoever can benefit in the end is the mastermind behind this scene—and our greatest enemy!"

His voice was gloomy and unpredictable, and he became more and more impatient when he thought of the man who was unconscious on the bed and dying.

"His Royal Highness Baojin's aptitude, no matter how hard he tries, he still can't compare with..."

That name was hidden in the mouth, low and vague, but it clearly carried a bit of burning lovesickness, that kind of worry, and hopelessness.

Ji Xin couldn't say no to him, so she just lowered her head and murmured silently, but she made up her mind that she must keep her treasures safe, otherwise... once "over there" woke up, what face would she have to see her? !

Baojin regained her composure the next day. She dealt with the internal affairs in an orderly manner, unfolded the letterhead under the lamp, and wrote the letter. Ji Xin took a slight step, pondered for a while, and said, "Are you sending a secret letter to Shu and the navy?"

Bao Jin was quite surprised. Although Ji Xin was a little strange, she usually only cooperated with her actions silently, and never said much. What happened this time?
She hadn't answered yet, but Ji Xin said again: "Although I don't know what His Highness is going to do, I would like to persuade you, please don't act rashly..."

Although these words were soft, they had the meaning of warning and preaching, Bao Jin's eyes dimmed, "You seem to mean something?"
