Ji Wanyou, who had stayed up all night because she was worried about her sweetheart, was a little confused at this time.
"He dislikes that our Ji family temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like his." Ji Xiu said with cold eyes: "Even from the beginning, I'm afraid he had the intention of using me as a stepping stone!"
Advise him and make suggestions to the emperor many times... but in fact, he is also telling the emperor in disguise that he has a capable person in his house!
He just suddenly figured this out last night!
——And when this capable man appeared in front of the emperor and saved him, there was no need to guess what the outcome would be.
"Father, Mr. Zhan is definitely not that kind of person." Ji Wanyou shook her head and said, "Even if Mr. Zhan does have a plan this time, he is not a ruthless and unjust person. He once told his daughter that he has always been very
I am grateful to my father for his acceptance and appreciation..."
All in all, she believed in Master Zhan.
He always has his own plans for doing things, and besides, he also has the right to decide where he will stay and where he will go in the future——
As for what my father said, using the Ji family as a stepping stone is absolutely impossible!
Seeing his daughter's deep faith in her sweetheart, Ji Xiu said helplessly: "Wan'er, you are blinded by your own thoughts... Since you know that he has deep intentions, why don't you want to believe that you are there too?
In his calculation, he decided that he was an exception?"
"Father, your daughter is not a three-year-old child who can tell what is true and what is false." The girl, who has been able to make her own decisions since she was a child, is very opinionated and has stubbornness in her tone: "My daughter believes in her own judgment."
Listening to this, Ji Xiu felt that the chest where Duke Zhen had kicked him yesterday hurt even more. Just as he was about to continue talking, a knock on the door suddenly came into his ears.
"Master." A servant reported through the door: "The news just came from Linfu Hall, saying that someone has woken up!"
Mr. Zhan is awake?!
Ji Wanyou looked happy.
Ji Xiu had already stood up, with a sneer in his eyes.
The staff in his house were awake, so of course he wanted to take a look.
"Father, please take your daughter with you." Ji Wanyou grabbed one of Ji Xiu's sleeves and discussed: "Mr. Zhan is a member of our family. At this time, he escaped from death and woke up. My daughter will come with you to see him.
Look, it’s reasonable. Moreover, Linfu Hall is the residence of the emperor, and there aren’t many outsiders coming in and out, so it won’t cause any rumors.”
After looking at his daughter hesitantly for a moment, Ji Xiu finally nodded.
Just take a look.
Let’s see what the other party will do next——
If you can see something clearly from it, maybe you can slowly give up.
The father and daughter immediately went to Linfu Hall.
In the Nuan Pavilion of Linfu Hall, the injured man was leaning on the bedside, thinking about something with a complicated expression.
Because he had just forced himself to stand up to salute the emperor, which affected the wound on his shoulder, the man's face looked particularly pale at this time.
Doctor Zheng continued to ask questions: "...But you remember everything?"
The young man's reaction after he woke up was very strange. After asking, he found out that this person had suffered amnesia due to falling into the water more than half a year ago. He had forgotten what happened before he fell into the water and his own identity.
After being injured and comatose last night, I just woke up and there were signs of memory recovery.
"I roughly remembered it all..." the young man replied in a daze.
Emperor Qingming, who was sitting in the chair, said strangely: "This amnesia is really mysterious."
Doctor Zheng answered: "Exactly, there is no cure for these diseases, but with external stimulation, there is indeed a possibility of recovery."
Emperor Qingming nodded with a smile.
According to this, maybe one day, Jingrong's memory will be restored...
But that's what he wants to see.
He was very curious about how Jingrong would look panicked and face his imperial brother if he remembered the imperial edict after regaining his memory.
"The fate between you and me is indeed not shallow." Emperor Qingming looked at the weak-looking young man and said with a smile: "You saved me, but by chance, you also cured the amnesia——"
For useful people, he is not shy about calling them the people who saved him.
Ji Xiu, who had just arrived outside Nuan Pavilion, vaguely heard these words and couldn't help but frown.
What disease?
Amnesia?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ji and Miss Ji are here." The eunuch entered the inner room and preached.
"Xuan come in." Emperor Qingming took a sip of tea and seemed to be in a good mood.
After Ji Xiu and his daughter entered the pavilion and bowed, they looked at Zhan Yunzhu on the bed.
"Master Ji..." Zhan Yunzhu's tone was a little slow, "Miss Ji."
Ji Wanyou nodded to him with red eyes and was not in a hurry to say anything more.
Emperor Qingming looked at Ji Xiu: "Ji Aiqing, I heard that this scholar in your house was rescued and taken in by you after falling into a coma in the water. He also suffered from amnesia and completely forgot about the past——"
Ji Xiu was stunned when he heard this.
...Do these things the emperor said have anything to do with him?
And amnesia?
Ji Xiu looked at the young man leaning on the bed.
Being so good at editing, if I were to write storybooks instead, I wouldn't have to worry about making a living.
And in this current situation, are we going to force him to act along?
He just came to watch the show, why did you drag him on stage?
Ji Xiu cursed mother in his heart.
Now that they are still using him for acting, they really treat him as a fool!
When Ji Xiu was about to speak, he heard his daughter beside him say before him: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true, and I know about it. My father also found many doctors to diagnose this young master, but they all disappeared.
What effect?"
While speaking, her eyes were always on Zhan Yunzhu.
She wanted to tell Mr. Zhan that no matter what he wanted to do, she would stand by his side and help him complete it.
She is the one who has the best understanding with him and is also the most suitable person for him.
Seeing his daughter rushing to take the playbook, Ji Xiu sighed heavily in his heart and could only say: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true."
"Fortunately, I have recovered now." Emperor Qingming said with a smile: "I just said that this young man has a close relationship with me -"
Ji Xiu reluctantly made an unexpected expression: "Recovered?"
I have to say that this feeling of being so angry, listening to the emperor's foreshadowing words, and having to act with him, is even worse than when he was beaten by the Duke of Zhen yesterday.
"Yes, I have already remembered it all." Zhan Yunzhu raised his hand and saluted in the direction of Ji Xiu, and said in a hoarse and sincere tone: "I would like to thank Master Ji and Miss Ji for taking care of me during this period. I can't thank you enough."
"You remember everything? Haha, that's the best thing to do." Ji Xiu said with no expression on his face.
Emperor Qingming nodded with a smile.
He has never seen such simple and unpretentious acting skills.
But as we all know, we just need to get by, and there is no need to ask for anything too much.
"Does the young master remember his original identity?" In comparison, Ji Wanyou's acting is much more realistic and believable.
"I was also about to ask." Emperor Qingming looked at Zhan Yunzhu and said with a smile: "I see that you are a good talker. You must have read poetry and books since you were a child. You must be from a scholarly family -"
"Cao Min is so ashamed..." Zhan Yunzhu lowered his eyes, but still seemed unable to hide the shame engraved in his bones, "Cao Min is the son of a sinner, and Cao Min's father is none other than Zhan Qian, a former doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Emperor Qingming seemed a little surprised.
"Zhan Qian?" He frowned slightly and said in thought, "Xia Han's case?"
"Exactly..." The young man's voice was low and ashamed.
"Then you are the Master of the Zhan family, Zhan Yunzhu?" Emperor Qingming said, "I have also heard about you. When you threw yourself into the river, it caused quite a sensation."
A bitter smile appeared on the young man's face: "It was indeed the common people who acted impulsively."
Emperor Qingming sighed: "It is said that you have obtained the title of scholar a long time ago. You are a well-known talented person in Beijing. You have been accepted as a disciple by Mr. Xu since you were a child. You dared to stand up and tell the truth, which shows that you have a pure character.
Why did you have the idea of committing suicide at that time? Wouldn't it be a pity if you really lost your life?"
"When my father committed such a crime, the common people thought that they had no face to face the world and the victims. They just wanted to tell the truth and die to apologize for their father... Who knew that God would not fulfill his wishes, and the common people did not die after throwing themselves into the river.
And he has been taken in by Minister Ji to this day."
Speaking of this, a look of loneliness appeared in the young man's eyes: "The common people have been studying since childhood, hoping to have the opportunity to serve the imperial court. This idea failed, and they felt that even if they were alive, they were just zombies."
"That's wrong." Emperor Qingming said, "If you have talents and knowledge, why worry about not being able to put them to use? It would be too hasty to commit suicide rashly."
"Your Majesty mentioned this."
"You have great talent, but I'm afraid there is no place to display it. I can understand your state of mind——"
Emperor Qingming said with a smile: "I am also a lover of talents, and this time you have saved me. As a reward, I plan to make an exception and let you join the Zhongshu Province and serve as the secretary of the Zhongshu Province. I wonder if you are willing?"
"
"This..." Zhan Yunzhu looked horrified, raised his hand and gave a long salute, saying: "Your Majesty's reward, the common people are grateful, but since the common people are sinners, they may not be able to hold this position..."
"Why can't you take on the responsibility?" Emperor Qingming said sternly: "You have been able to save me this time. There are only seven people in the bookstore. Who dares to say anything about it?"
Then he added: "Since ancient times, there are many precedents for selecting people based on their talents. You have always been famous for your talents. The act of throwing yourself into the river made many literati feel sad and even wrote poems about it... I will make an exception this time and let you
Entering Zhongshu Province is also an encouragement to scholars all over the world. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and far-sighted, but the common people are narrow-minded..." Zhan Yunzhu looked hesitantly as he spoke and looked in the direction of Ji Xiu.
Ji Xiu cursed mother again in his heart.
You really want to agree, but you still have to pretend to let him make the decision?
She wants to be a bitch and wants him to help build the memorial arch!
When you rushed out to rescue the driver, why didn't you let him make the decision?
"I forgot, this is Ji Aiqing's person!" Emperor Qingming suddenly realized this, looked at Ji Xiu with a smile, and said jokingly: "I haven't had time to ask Aiqing if she is willing to let him go, I can
You can’t do things that take away people’s beauty.”
"Your Majesty's words are serious." Ji Xiu said hurriedly: "To be appreciated by Your Majesty and to contribute to the court is a move that is beneficial to the country. In comparison, being trapped in the same house as a humble minister is too humiliating."
Emperor Qingming laughed heartily after hearing this, and looked at Zhan Yunzhu: "Your savior has already let go, what else do you have to worry about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man on the bed took off his quilt, put his uninjured arm on the edge of the bed, and got out of the bed with support.
With such a slight movement, the wound hurt, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat in a moment.
Ji Wanyou's heart tightened when she saw it, and she subconsciously wanted to step forward to help her.
Noticing his daughter's movements, Ji Xiu quickly grabbed her arm.
Facing her father's restraining eyes, Ji Wanyou could only hold back her impulse.
The young man wearing a long gown knelt down, kowtowed heavily in the direction of Emperor Qingming, and solemnly said with a trembling voice: "The common people kneel down to thank the Emperor for his kindness -"
Emperor Qingming nodded with satisfaction.
"Get up quickly. Even though you are injured, you can only talk about anything else if you take good care of yourself."
Zhan Yunzhu responded "yes", but persisted and bowed to Ji Xiu again: "Your kindness will be unforgettable by this younger generation."
Ji Xiu just sneered in his heart.
Unforgettable?
He now wants to knock out the other person's teeth!
At Emperor Qingming's signal, two eunuchs stepped forward to help the man up.
"The civilians are all fine now." Zhan Yunzhu did not let the eunuch support him back to the couch, but said: "Linfu Hall is His Majesty's residence. The civilians have the audacity to live here to recuperate. It is really scary. Please forgive me.
The grassroots returned to their original residences to rest and recuperate."
Hearing this, Ji Xiu frowned quickly.
What does this mean?
Want to go back to his yard?
You have used him thoroughly, and now you want his people to take care of him and recuperate?
Ji Wanyou's eyes suddenly lit up.
Emperor Qingming nodded and said, "That's good, it will save you from feeling uncomfortable."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhan Yunzhu hesitated for a moment and then said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask for Your Majesty's permission..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"The grassroots people have been suffering from amnesia and have completely forgotten their original identities... As soon as the injury recovers, I want to rush home to visit my mother immediately. I hope your majesty will allow you to do so."
Ji Xiu almost sneered when he heard this.
After living in his house for so long, even though he knew that his mother was dying of illness, he never mentioned that he wanted to go back for a visit!
If you want to go back, just go back. Is this a crime that requires the emperor's permission? You are going to be an official, not a eunuch in the palace. You have no freedom!
According to this, if you fart after drinking water, do you have to ask the emperor for permission?
The more Ji Xiu looked at him, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was hypocritical and was willing to take advantage of everyone and everything around him. He was too scheming.
Only then did he realize that from when he first exposed Xia Han to the government to when he threw himself into the river... this person had already been laying the groundwork for a comeback!
With the suspicion cleared and a good reputation, it can be said that all obstacles and hidden dangers have been cleared ahead of time...
No matter how impulsive you are to throw yourself into a river and live without a face...it's all a calculation!
