Chapter 15
The young man's name is Ye Fei, the eldest son of Grandma Zhao. He is twenty-one years old and works as a guard beside the original owner.
The original owner was a prince, and he was surrounded by many people. In addition to the servants like Qianliu who served in the courtyard, there were dozens of servants with high martial arts who were responsible for protecting his safety.
Ye Fei is one of them. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has also been trained by the royal internal guards, and his skills are very good. It's just that the original owner likes to be quiet by nature, has a low-key style, and doesn't like having too many people around him, so like other guards, he usually follows the original owner from a distance and doesn't dare to get too close.
Xiao Ji has only been here a few days and has not spoken to Ye Fei yet, but he knows that there is such a person beside the original owner, and he also knows that this person has a lively and out-of-the-box personality, and is an optimist who usually laughs and laughs.
Seeing Ye Fei kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment, crying and unable to control himself, Xiao Ji felt quite uncomfortable even though he didn't have the same friendship as the original owner who had grown up with him. He stepped forward and pulled Ye Fei up from the ground, took out the handkerchief he carried and handed it over: "What did you find? Tell me slowly."
Ye Fei didn't care about thanking him. He grabbed the handkerchief with his left hand and wiped away the tears and rain on his face. Then, with red eyes, he opened his right hand that was tightly clenched into a fist and said in a hoarse voice: "Subordinate, I just said Went to examine the horse that was in trouble, and found this in its right eye."
The horse fell down the slope and was injured but not dead, so the guards brought it back.
Xiao Ji took a closer look and found that lying in the palm of Ye Fei's hand was a very small silver needle that could not be seen without looking carefully.
"The horses in the palace are all trained by dedicated personnel. Even if a wild dog suddenly jumps out of the forest, it will frighten the horse, but it will not lose control like that..." Ye Fei gritted his teeth and wiped it. With tears welling up again, he said, "Someone shot a silver needle into the horse's eye when it was frightened, so it went crazy with pain and rushed towards the slope that happened to be on the left side of the road!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. Only Xiao Ji's heart sank, and he completely confirmed his suspicion.
Although the original work did not describe in detail the process of the vicious female supporting character being injured, nor did it mention small details such as the silver needle, it was clearly stated in the original work that Trai Ang was good at using concealed weapons, and it was also described many times that he was able to throw away someone during a fight. Situations where hidden weapons such as silver needles and darts are produced.
Coupled with the appearance of the big wild dog...
Damn Trai Ang, why did he suddenly go crazy? !
Xiao Ji, who had no idea what was going on, was so angry that his head was pounding. He resisted the urge to go directly to Cui Ang to confront and challenge him, and said to Ye Fei: "I know, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter. You go back and change clothes first, and then I will accompany you for the last time." Mother, your mother... I have already ordered her to be laid to rest in peace no matter what."
Ye Fei then lost all his strength and fell to the ground, covering his face again and crying loudly: "Yes...if you let me know who the murderer is, I will definitely chop him alive! My mother...my mother hasn't seen me yet. Marrying a wife and having children, she is still so young..."
Xiao Ji didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat his shoulder again, hoping that he could express his condolences.

Not long after Ye Fei was helped down, Liu Dazhong and others came back with the body of the big wild dog.
Xiao Ji endured his nausea and took a few glances, confirming that the dog's appearance was exactly the same as described in the original work, and immediately sent a few people to find the dog's original owner, the mountain hunter mentioned in the original work.
Although he didn't know the other person's name or which mountain he lived in, according to the information revealed in the original book, that person's home should be near the capital. In addition, that man has such a big dog, and the dog looks so distinctive. People who live near his home or in the same village as him must have seen it. As long as the people he sends out search carefully, sooner or later this dog will be found. people found.
Although this person is just a dog seller, and he most likely doesn’t know who the person who bought his dog is and what his purpose is, but as long as he can follow the clues and find the person who is trading with him, he may be able to hide the secrets step by step. Cui Ang was found out...
"My lord, the concubine is awake!"
As soon as the manpower was arranged, a maid came to tell her that Mrs. Sun was awake. Xiao Ji went over to take a look and found that Concubine Sun was crying over the death of Aunt Zhao.
"My son, Xianglan... Xianglan died to protect me. She sacrificed her life for me... Wuwuwu, you must take care of her affairs well and treat her children well... "
Seeing her son coming, Mrs. Sun cried even harder. She is very beautiful. Although she is nearly forty years old, she looks like she is in her early thirties because she takes good care of herself and lives a comfortable life.
Xiao Ji didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stand by the bed and nod awkwardly.
He has little experience in getting along with female elders. Although he was very close to his aunt's family in his previous life, his aunt is a strong and strong business woman who works vigorously and resolutely. She is completely different from Mrs. Sun, who is weak, has no opinion and loves to cry. extreme.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun was feeling sad and didn't notice anything unusual about him.
"... Concubine, don't cry. I will obey your orders in everything. Aunt Zhao has done a good job in protecting the Lord. I will let people bury her properly and treat her family well." She reluctantly said a few words of comfort and cried with her again. After the scene, Concubine Sun, who finally felt a little better, sat for a while. After fulfilling her responsibilities as a son, Xiao Ji hurriedly left to see Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao was the old man next to Concubine Sun, and she followed Concubine Sun out of the palace. Her husband died young, and her three children all worked with her in Prince Duan's Mansion.
When Xiao Ji left, Ye Fei, whose eyes were swollen to walnuts, had already taken care of his mother's remains with a pair of younger siblings and put her body into the coffin he had just bought.
Xiao Ji stood in front of the rather luxurious-looking coffin, looking at the face inside that was unfamiliar to him but very familiar and close to the original owner, and felt a little dazed for some reason.
It wasn't until the grief-stricken cry of Aunt Zhao's daughter suddenly pierced his eardrums that he felt as if his mind suddenly cleared and his feet completely landed on the ground.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Ji suddenly realized with great clarity that he had really resurrected from the dead and become another person. And the world in front of him is not just a book he has read. It is the same as the world he lived in in his previous life. It is also composed of living people who can cry, laugh, live and die. It is a real human world.
Maybe later...
He should live a more serious life.
——Although he has been wearing it for several days and feels that he has adapted to it, in fact, Xiao Ji, who lies in the palace every day and does not want to go out, and has no interest in anything around him, was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips in thought.

After arranging everything that should be arranged, Xiao Ji went into the palace and told the emperor about Concubine Sun's distress.
He didn't tell the emperor that the murderer behind the scenes was Cui Ang, but told the emperor that it was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately.
It's not like he didn't think about complaining directly to the emperor, saying that Cui Ang did it. But this is easy to say but difficult to do. Because he had no evidence and could not explain how he knew the truth.
In addition, Xiao Ji still doesn't know why Cui Ang suddenly went crazy. He is also afraid that if he acts rashly, he will alert the snake and lead to even more uncontrollable consequences. So now, the best way is to keep the enemy open and we covertly, while secretly searching for evidence, and at the same time bringing the matter to the emperor and asking him to order a thorough investigation, so as to frighten Cui Ang and make him not dare to act easily again. Take action.
The emperor had no feelings for Concubine Sun, but he valued his younger brother very much. Moreover, at the feet of an emperor like him in the capital, there was a gangster who wanted to murder the imperial concubine. This matter was tantamount to jumping on his radar, so after the emperor heard this, Long Yan was furious, and immediately ordered Chaoxiang to come and report the matter. The front-line commander of the matter, Lu Jiuzheng, investigated the matter thoroughly.
Lu Jiuzheng was a confidant trained by the emperor. He was also a sharp knife specially polished by the emperor to deal with aristocratic families and consolidate imperial power.
In addition, he also has an identity, that is, the current boss and future springboard of the original male protagonist Cui Ang.
——Yes, Cui Ang in the original work will soon step on Lu Jiuzheng and replace him as the commander-in-chief of the palace.
The organization of the Palace Front Division is similar to the Jinyiwei that Xiao Ji knows. They are special agents and supervisory agencies set up by the emperor. They directly obey the emperor's orders and have great power in their hands. After Cui Ang ascends to the throne in this capacity, he will develop his power step by step in the court situation. Finally, after the emperor's death, he will support the young grandson to ascend the throne and become the emperor, becoming the regent above ten thousand people. .
The heroine Cui Lingyan will also become the most powerful and beautiful woman in the world. Even the little emperor will respectfully call her "aunt" when he sees her.
...That’s ridiculous, right? A spy chief who was used as a knife by the emperor and seemed to have great power, but in fact had nothing but the emperor's support, and who was shouted at by everyone in the court, was actually able to bypass all the royal family members and civil and military officials after the emperor's death. , supported the young emperor's grandson to succeed to the throne as regent, and got the title of regent in a serious manner.
But that's what the original novel says - it's just funny fucking opening the door for funny, it's extremely funny.
Xiao Ji recalled those Machiavellian plots that were just like playing house, with no logic or intelligence at all, and he felt speechless, as if even his complaints were disrespectful to him. However, it is precisely because this part of the plot is too weak and takes up very little space that he has never paid much attention to it before. He just wanted to stay away from the male and female protagonists from now on, and everyone should just stay on the same page.
It wasn't until today when Cui Ang suddenly went crazy and attacked Concubine Sun, and thus killed Aunt Zhao who had watched the original owner grow up, that Xiao Ji realized that there were some things that he couldn't just stay away from if he wanted to.
In this case, be tough. What kind of bullshit male protagonist, a book-traveler who knows the plot well, is afraid that he, an idiot who only thinks about things between men and women, is incapable of falling in love? !
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji suppressed the sneer in his heart and looked at Lu Jiuzheng aside.
