"The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridgehead. Don't think too much, Eunuch, take a rest."
She said goodbye and was about to leave. Cai Tianxi didn't stop her, but suddenly remembered something: "The emperor may have no appetite to eat today. Please persuade him more. He didn't eat yesterday. If he doesn't eat today, his body can't bear it."
"Didn't eat yesterday?"
Xie Yun was very surprised. Didn't the queen mother hold a family banquet?
Even if there are other plans, Yin Ji can't be prevented from eating, right?
Cai Tianxi sighed: "That's right, the Queen Mother brought up a basket of birthday dumplings, and the Emperor was so angry that he couldn't eat any more."
Xie Yun was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
She knew about the birthday dumplings. The Xiao family had told Xie Ji about it as a joke, and Xie Ji told her about it.
The image of Yin Ji sleeping outside her door suddenly appeared in her mind, and he begged her to accompany him in a low voice. So, that's why you lost your composure, Yin Ji...
Yin Ji helped Zhong Bai and entered the main hall with his strength.
Xue Jing followed closely and knelt down as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, I want to ask for mercy from Your Majesty."
Yin Ji leaned back in the chair to relax. He felt weak as if he was walking on clouds, but he still understood Xue Jing's meaning at once: "You want to investigate Cai Tianxi's drowning?"
"Your Majesty is wise."
"What did Cai Tianxi say?"
Xue Jing smiled bitterly: "Godfather didn't say anything."
"Then he just doesn't want you to intervene."
Xue Jing naturally understood this truth. Those who dared to take action against the people in front of the emperor in the palace must have a high status. After thinking about it, there are only a few people.
He was just a small fifth-rank Qingming Division Chief. At this time, confronting those behemoths was tantamount to courting death.
Cai Tianxi was afraid that something would happen to him.
But he only had this one relative in the world. How could he bear it?
He knocked his head to the ground: "My master is the emperor. As long as the emperor allows, I can investigate."
"What if I don't let you investigate?"
Yin Ji looked at him quietly with his eyes downcast. Even though he was extremely unwell, his eyes were still heavy and cold, full of oppression.
Xue Jing was shocked and puzzled, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to leave such a person in the palace. For your safety..."
"I said," Yin Ji interrupted him, with a sharp look, "I won't let you investigate."
Xue Jing froze. After all, he had only been in the court for a short time and was not old. He could not hide his emotions. All kinds of emotions were clearly revealed on his face. He was angry and unwilling to be aggrieved, which made his eyes red. But in the end, he clenched his fists fiercely: "Yes, I obey your order."
Yin Ji's face eased, and he raised his chin slightly. Zhong Bai hurried to help him up.
"What's the point of catching a chess piece?"
Yin Ji sighed lightly, as if he was very satisfied with Xue Jing's reaction. There was a hint of smile in his voice: "I'll give you a chance to fight the mastermind behind the scenes. Do you dare?"
Xue Jing was stunned, and suddenly looked up. When he was sure that Yin Ji was not joking, he knelt down again: "I will die!"
Yin Ji did not let Zhong Bai help him again, and just looked down at him: "Think clearly, the person you are going to face this time is the old King An, do you really dare?"
Old King An?
Several images suddenly flashed through Xue Jing's mind, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It doesn't matter who it is. As long as it is the emperor's order, I will do it."
Yin Ji was more and more satisfied: "Then do it according to my orders..."
Xue Jing knelt forward, and after hearing Yin Ji's orders clearly, his face was shocked without hiding, and then his posture became more docile.
The emperor was indeed very clear about people's hearts. In this way, the royal family that originally stood on the side of the queen mother would definitely turn against her and become enemies with the Xun family.
"I understand, and I will definitely fulfil my mission."
Yin Ji leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. After discussing the business, he could no longer suppress his fatigue.
"Go."
He said weakly. Xue Jing did not dare to delay and left in a hurry.
After no one was around, Zhong Bai spoke: "What about the queen mother? What if she finds something wrong and doesn't fall for it?"
Yin Ji was naturally worried about this matter: "There is still time, I will find a chance to contain her..."
"If the emperor doesn't mind, can this matter be handed over to me?"
Xie Yun's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Yin Ji looked up and looked over, a little surprised: "Are you going to intervene?"
Xie Yun looked up at him for a long time before lowering her eyes: "Didn't I say that? I was born narrow-minded and vindictive. How can I let go of such a big loss?"
