Chapter 461 Shadow
Su Ji found a familiar palace maid and asked her to bring a message to Jiang Qiuchi, making an appointment to meet at the usual place outside the palace.
After Jiang Qiuchi learned the news, he left the palace and came to Zhanyuan, the largest teahouse in the capital.
He had met Su Ji twice recently, both times at this teahouse, which was one of the hidden properties of the Feng family.
Jiang Qiuchi arrived at the appointed private room. Su Ji, dressed in blue and brocade, had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Su, you are so anxious to come out to me, but what's the matter?"
Su Ji looked at Jiang Qiuchi: "You are the Seventh Highness now. You should not be so humble and respectful when talking to me."
Jiang Qiuchi smiled faintly, walked to sit opposite Su Ji.
"I am one of the few people in the capital who regard me as Jiang Qiuchi. When we meet in private, I don't want to pretend to be the seventh prince. This does not belong to me."
Su Ji glanced at him with a cold face: "Human desires are endless. When you personally feel the superiority of being a prince, haven't you ever thought about how great it would be if this identity truly belonged to you?"
Jiang Qiuchi's eyes were still as clear as before.
"This palace is like a closed cage. Although I have fine clothes and fine food, I live in fear all day long. This kind of life is not what I yearn for."
Su Ji was aroused by Jiang Qiuchi's words.
"What kind of life do you yearn for?"
“It’s good to have no worries about food and clothing, to be simple and comfortable.”
"He is like a monk who has no desires or desires."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. The enlightened monk has nothing to ask for, but I want something."
Su Ji asked: "What do you want?"
"Please live!"
Su Ji chuckled and looked at him deeply: "Your Majesty may have doubts about you, and may take the opportunity to test your blood."
Jiang Qiuchi's expression changed slightly. There was nothing wrong with his performance in recent days. His Majesty also tried it a few times and specifically talked about the seventh prince's childhood. Because he was the substitute carefully cultivated by the seventh prince, about the seventh prince's experience. He knows everything clearly and will not reveal any flaws in this.
The Feng family birthmark on his body has been tattooed on his body since he was a child. When he was bathing, he also noticed that the eunuch who was serving him paid special attention to this birthmark. Seeing that his birthmark did not fade at all no matter how he washed it, this matter must have been reported to His Majesty. In the ears.
What is going wrong?
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Qiuchi raised his eyes and looked at Su Ji: "I am recalling everything that happened during this period. I have not exposed any doubts in front of His Majesty. I also played chess with His Majesty for half a day today. How could he suddenly start to doubt me? ?”
Su Ji drank a cup of tea in a deep voice: "Do you know why His Majesty wants to take His Majesty the Seventh Prince back to Beijing at this time?"
"I don't know."
"Last year, there was a prophecy that was very popular in the capital. It said that purple energy would come from the west and a wise king would appear. Everyone from the dignitaries to the people at dawn were talking about this matter. The reason why this news spread was that the prophecy was It was said by Taoist Master Wuji of Dengfeng Tower himself. He was a living immortal, and the things he predicted had never been miscalculated. Now that His Majesty's deadline is approaching, Yuan An, his most beloved Taoist priest, came up with a plan. , saying that as long as you borrow the Taoist secret technique of the Seven-Star Lamp to extend your life, your Majesty will be able to live longer, and the only person who matches your Majesty is the person in the northwest who has the destiny of being emperor."
Jiang Qiuchi was shocked when he heard the truth.
"So His Majesty came back with the seventh prince because he suspected that he was the next emperor and wanted to use his luck as emperor to survive?"
Su Ji nodded: "Then Yuan'an's master is Taoist Master Wuji. This man has profound Taoism. Perhaps it was something he said in front of His Majesty recently that made His Majesty suspicious of you. Now you and I are of the same fate. Connected, if your identity is exposed, I will not be able to absolve myself of the blame, so the plan for now is to find a way to completely remove His Majesty's suspicion of you."
Jiang Qiuchi pondered for a moment: "Master Su, don't worry, I won't tell you if the matter is exposed."
Su Ji glared at him coldly: "You saved my life once, and I will not stand idly by. By the way, has Jiang Ci ever told you who to go to if you encounter unsolvable difficulties in the capital? He There must be a lot of spies in the capital."
Jiang Qiuchi suddenly thought of something: "Maybe there is someone who can help."
He has been trained by the Xuanzong Sect for more than ten years. Even if he is just a chess piece, the Xuanzong Sect will not abandon him until he is still valuable.
Su Jixian left Zhanyuan, and Jiang Qiuchi wrote a letter and handed it to the hidden guard in the dark.
"Send this letter to Xinyang Mansion quickly and deliver it to the master personally."
"Yes!"
After the hidden guards left, Jiang Qiuci went straight to the eldest princess's mansion.
-
The eldest princess looked at the young man in front of her and looked at him carefully for a moment.
"This face is indeed somewhat similar to Qi'er."
"His Majesty the Seventh Highness is so brilliant that this villain is really not worthy of being compared with him."
The eldest princess took a sip of tea and lightly raised her red lips.
"Why did you come to see me today?"
Jiang Qiuchi knelt down and said, "The master has made instructions when I come to the capital. If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, you can come to the princess for help."
"Oh? What trouble did you encounter in the palace?"
Jiang Qiuchi raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess: "Your Majesty has already suspected that the villain is not His Highness the Seventh. He is afraid that a blood test will be done soon. If the villain's identity is revealed, His Highness's traces will soon be exposed. "
The eldest princess narrowed her phoenix eyes. Jiang Qiuchi had cultivated this chess piece for ten years. It would be a pity if he became an abandoned one. Moreover, he was right. Once his false identity was exposed, Qi Er's There are dangers on the side, too.
"I will find a way to resolve this matter. Please remember to keep a low profile in front of His Majesty recently."
"The villain obeys your orders."
"Go down."
Jiang Qiuchi breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the eldest princess. He hoped that the eldest princess's side could play a role, otherwise his death would really come.
On the way back to the palace, Jiang Qiuchi lifted the curtain and looked outside. The streets of the capital were busy and bustling with people, but this scene made him feel lonely. He was like an outsider. The bustling and bustling scene in front of him None of it seems to have anything to do with him.
Jiang Qiuchi secretly hoped that if he could leave the capital alive, he would find an inconspicuous small town and become the real Jiang Qiuchi. After he repaid the kindness of the sect master, he would have nothing to do with the Xuanzongmen anymore. From now on, he would not be here anymore It’s anyone’s shadow.
