Emperor Ling, who was standing next to him, originally had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect that Liuyun would suffer such an unreasonable disaster in the palace. Although he didn't know who poisoned him, he knew that it was definitely related to him.
At this time, Emperor Ling was stunned, but it was not because of Liuyun's poisoning. His eyes were fixed on the back of Chi Mo's hand. If he didn't look carefully, he would not have noticed that there was a very shallow tattoo on the back of his hand near his wrist.
The pattern is so small that you can't tell what it is without looking carefully.
But Emperor Ling knew what this tattoo was, it was a dragon.
Who dares to tattoo dragons on their body? Not to mention tattoos, no one dares to sew dragon patterns on their clothes. This is reserved for the emperor. Anyone who uses dragons has evil intentions.
"Luochen, Qianlan, you guys go sit in the front hall for a while." Ling Emperor suddenly spoke. Even Dongfang Ye didn't understand what he wanted to do, but it became clear that he had something to say, even the closest confidant could not
Leave.
By this time, Liu Yun had already woken up a bit. Although he was weak, at least he was awake.
"Ye..." Although she felt very uncomfortable, Liu Yun still noticed the doubt in Dongfang Ye's eyes when he looked at Chi Mo. She wanted to explain Chi Mo's matter to him, but was interrupted by him, and she could only hear his low voice.
He said, "We'll talk about it later when you feel better."
After all, they were husband and wife, and they knew each other's intentions with just one look. Dongfang Ye felt a little disappointed in his heart. He was naturally disappointed that his beloved had concealed it, but seeing Liu Yun care so much about his feelings still made him slightly disappointed.
Dispersed a little.
"Mo...are you Chi Mo?" Emperor Ling hesitated and said Chi Mo's name.
"Yes." Chi Mo hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Liu Yun. Seeing her nodding, he agreed.
Emperor Ling walked to Chi Mo. The face was unfamiliar, but he knew that Chi Mo was not only excellent in medical skills, but also good at disguise. He should be in his thirties now, although
This face looks very young, but this is just a disguise. This subordinate who has been missing for sixteen years suddenly appears and appears next to Ji Mengxian's daughter.
This incident was full of weirdness, giving Emperor Ling an indescribable feeling.
"Your Majesty knows Chi Mo?" Yu Chen frowned slightly, and doubts arose in his mind.
"To tell you what the young master is saying, I was a secret guard who followed the emperor more than ten years ago." Chi Mo thought for a while and finally said it.
Every prince has secret guards around him, and Emperor Ling is no exception. Although he is an unpopular prince, at least he is still a prince. His secret guards come from Qian Pavilion, and Chi Mo is a member of Qian Pavilion, but Sixteen
Seven years ago, Chi Mo disappeared with several other secret guards. No one knew where they went. Emperor Ling sent people to search for them for a while, but then it was forgotten after a long time. After all, the secret guards wanted to hide.
Then no one can find it.
But he didn't expect that after so many years, Chi Mo would reappear in the capital.
"Have you been with Mengxian all these years?" Emperor Ling was extremely sensitive. He noticed that Chi Mo called Miss Liuyun and Master Yuchen, so his master should be Mengxian, their mother.
.
Regarding this issue, Chi Mo remained silent.
Regarding his silence, the emperor was basically certain that he must have been by Mengxian's side these years.
This was something he had never expected. Mengxian left in a hurry back then. How could he take away his secret guards? What's more, his secret guards not only obeyed his orders, but also obeyed the orders of the late emperor.
Thinking of this, Emperor Ling already understood that since he didn't know about this, it must be the late emperor's arrangement for Chi Mo to follow Ji Mengxian. But with the late emperor's character, why would he arrange for the secret guards of Qiange to follow Ji Mengxian? Especially with the discipline of the secret guards, if Meng Xian died, then they should return to the capital. There is no reason to continue to protect her children.
This matter is full of weirdness, Ling Emperor has already had doubts in his heart, but looking at Chi Mo, he must not say anything. He knows the secret guards who came from Qiange, and they all keep it secret. Experts, as long as they are determined not to say anything, even if they are killed, they will not get a word.
"Wait a minute, aren't you the secret guards of the Ji family? Why did you become the emperor's secret guards?" Yu Chen frowned slightly. He had studied martial arts with Chi Mo for several years, and he had some understanding of this master. He usually doesn't talk much and has a cold temperament, but he is not a liar. Since he told himself that they were the Ji family's secret guards, why did he suddenly become the emperor's secret guards?
A hint of headache flashed in Chi Mo's eyes. He could choose to remain silent regarding Ling Emperor's question, but he knew Yuchen, a boy who studied martial arts with him, very well. This guy seemed to be a gentle and gentle nobleman. In fact, he is a scorpion, full of tricks, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. If he is not careful, he may fall into his trap. Wasn't he the one who agreed to teach him martial arts because he was so entangled in him before?
"Originally, the Ji family did have secret guards following the master. However, after the master passed away, they went back to the Ji family. In order to cause trouble, the subordinates told the young master that we were the secret guards of the Ji family." The secret guards of the Ji family do exist. , but compared with the people in Qiange, it is really nothing to mention. Since he has such a ready-made identity, Chi Mo naturally does not need to think about it anymore.
His explanation was reasonable, but Yuchen always felt that something was wrong.
"But you said at the beginning that you were responsible for protecting my sister because she is a direct daughter of Mu Mansion." Yuchen suddenly caught another important point and asked immediately, "And you said that only my sister's jade token can command you to do the pavilion." .If you stay here to protect my mother’s children, then why don’t I have a jade token?”
Originally, Yu Chen thought that Chi Mo and the others were the secret guards of the Ji family, so it made sense to protect the granddaughter of the direct line of the Ji family. After all, in the Ji family, women were much more popular than men, but obviously, this is not the case now.
"What jade tablet?" Emperor Ling suddenly jumped out and asked.
At this time, Dongfang Ye sat by the bed and didn't say a word, but it didn't mean that he didn't listen to what they were saying. On the contrary, he was a bystander, and as his thoughts flowed, he connected everyone's words with some things he knew. When he got up, something vaguely came to his mind, something he had never expected at all.
Liuyun took out a jade plaque from her neck, Dongfang Ye untied it for her and handed it to Emperor Ling.
Emperor Ling, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly changed his expression, and his body started to tremble slightly. He opened his mouth several times but was unable to speak. He just held the jade token tightly. After a long time, a broken voice came out. :
"This is... only available to children of the royal family."
