Jun Jiuling

The night in the Duke's Mansion was peaceful, and the laughter of maidservants and maidservants resounded from time to time in the courtyard.

Cheng Guogong was wearing homely clothes and resting on the porch, while Mrs. Yu sat beside him with a fan, chatting and laughing with a few girls and servants.

"It's much hotter than our side," she said.

"Is the ice ready?" Cheng Guogong asked.

The girls and servants all laughed.

"It has been prepared according to the order of the Duke." They said.

"I'll just say it casually, you'll take it seriously if you're being coquettish." Mrs. Yu said with a smile, shaking her fan.

This kind of couple's love talk is spoken in front of people, Cheng Guogong just smiles, and the maids and servants are also accustomed to it and don't care.

The atmosphere in the courtyard is relaxed and cozy.

"The prince is back."

There was a report from outside, and then a figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Father and mother, I'm back." Zhu Zan said, his voice was a bit dull, and no one approached him. He turned around before Cheng Guogong and his wife asked, "I'm going to rest."

"To your wife?" Mrs. Yu asked.

Zhu Zan didn't seem to hear anything.

"Zan'er, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Cheng Guogong said.

Zhu Zan stopped.

The servants and maids bowed their heads and retreated, leaving only the three of them in the yard.

"Come here, come here, don't stand in the shadows." Madam Yu said, "Otherwise I won't be able to see how you were beaten."

After that, he laughed.

The face of Zhu Zan who came over was even uglier.

"Let's see." He said, standing in front of Mrs. Yu.

His clothes were messy and his face was bruised.

Madam Yu laughed even harder.

"Yo, I was slapped in the face." She said, reaching out to poke Zhu Zan's face, "I can't go to see Miss Jun, it's too embarrassing."

Zhu Zan hissed and called daddy.

"Look at my mother." He complained.

Cheng Guogong smiled at Mrs. Yu.

"Stop teasing him," he said, looking at Zhu Zan again.

Before he could speak, Zhu Zan spoke first.

"Father, you don't need to ask, the matter is just like this, this is Huang Cheng's trick, and it is also His Majesty's plan to test you." He said, "It depends on how you respond tomorrow morning."

Cheng Guogong said oh.

"Then..." he said again.

"That bastard Lu Yunqi is guarding the Prince Huai Mansion, not against you, father." Zhu Zan also spoke first again, "He's targeting Miss Jun."

"Miss Jun..." Cheng Guogong said.

"Miss Jun has treated King Huai's disease, and she made a bet at the beginning. The capital became famous because of this. Lu Yunqi must use King Huai as a raft to criticize Miss Jun's medical skills. Maybe in the end, she will blame the evil thing on her. On the head." Zhu Zan said with a snort.

Cheng Guogong said oh.

"Father, you don't need to worry about it. You can do what you have discussed with your staff." Zhu Zan waved his hand and said, "When King Huai arrives at the imperial tomb, we can also cure him."

Cheng Guogong said oh.

"Okay." He said, without saying anything else, smiled and nodded, "You go."

Zhu Zan turned around in response, and when he turned around, his face was not as relaxed as before, and he strode away with a heavy complexion.

Looking at his back, Madam Yu also shook her head and clicked her tongue twice.

"Miss Jun on one side and father on the other, it's hard to choose," she said.

Cheng Guogong smiled and sat down without speaking.

"What do you think?" Mrs. Yu sat down next to him, bumped his shoulder and asked, "The emperor is the same, he's gone, what does he care about? Holding a child."

A guilty conscience.

These four words flashed through the hearts of the husband and wife at the same time, but of course neither of them would say it.

"In the officialdom and imperial power, there are no children who are not children. They are all the same." Cheng Guogong said in a gentle voice.

Madam Yu was silent for a moment, shook her fan and got up.

"I'm going to bed first, you think about it slowly, don't disturb me in the morning." She said.

Cheng Guogong nodded with a smile.

"Sleep well," he said.

After Mrs. Yu left, Duke Cheng was the only one left in the yard, sitting on the cool chair in silence with the starlight all over the sky.

………………..

Looking at the stars in the capital is not as good as in the wild. The capital is too prosperous, and the lights on the ground are brighter than the stars in the sky.

Miss Jun's eyes were under the starlight, and the lights hadn't moved for a long time.

"Hello."

Zhu Zan's voice came, followed by the sound of tiles, and people came over.

"It's not enough for you to sit by the window, and you even ran to the roof." He said, "You woman always likes to climb up and down."

Miss Jun smiled and pointed.

"The person who lived over there often told me what you said when I was a child," she said.

What words? who?

Zhu Zan followed what she was pointing at, and saw that half of the capital seemed like a fairyland, with rows of houses and courtyards. Who knew where she was pointing?

Always saying some inexplicable words, Zhu Zan ignored her and sat down.

There was a silence between the two.

"On the way to the Imperial Mausoleum, please show King Huai." Zhu Zan said suddenly, "I've made all the arrangements."

Go to the imperial mausoleum.

Miss Jun hummed.

"Okay," she said.

There was silence again between the two.

"Hey, are you angry?" Zhu Zan said in a deep voice.

"I don't have the time to be angry." Miss Jun smiled and glanced at him. In the dark night, only Zhu Zan's bright eyes could be seen. "If I was angry, I would have died of anger."

Parents being murdered, siblings being imprisoned, to a person, this is already the most angry thing in the world, apart from this, other things are taken for granted, there is nothing to be angry about.

"Actually, I'm not that good." Zhu Zan said again suddenly.

Miss Jun smiled even more.

"You've finally figured this out? Congratulations," she said.

Zhu Zan snorted.

"I'm just being humble, don't take it seriously," he said.

Miss Jun laughed.

"It's just that Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs." Zhu Zan said, "I can't take you into Prince Huai's Mansion. You should be angry if you are angry."

"I'm not angry at you, and it's not because you didn't let me in." Miss Jun said, "Why are you so confused? Come here and tell me these inexplicable things."

As he spoke, he leaned over here, looked at Zhu Zan, and saw his hazy face through the starlight.

"Oh, it turns out that you were beaten." She smiled, "I came here to express my grievances and comfort you."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Zhu Zan's head.

"I'll take a look at the injury..."

Zhu Zan jumped up.

"Can you be serious." He shouted angrily, "I'm talking about serious things."

Miss Jun smiled.

"I'm also talking about serious business." She said, "It doesn't matter if you don't enter Prince Huai's mansion now, just as you said, we can meet on the way. Since they use King Huai as a tool, then Prince Huai is definitely fine, and there is nothing to worry about." of."

Talking and laughing.

"It's very good. King Huai can also come out for a walk. He hasn't been out for many years. This opportunity is very good."

Zhu Zan looked down at her for a moment.

"I can't ask my father to stop this matter." He said, "Although I don't know why, I know that King Huai is important to you. Logically speaking, I should ask my father for help."

"You also said, that's from a rational point of view, but from a rational point of view, it's completely meaningless to do so." Miss Jun said, "Do you still jump when you know it's a pit? This is too stupid."

He said and smiled again.

"I've done this stupid thing once before."

She entered the palace with a knife and assassinated the emperor alone. At that time, she had no other considerations. She only wanted to avenge her parents and kill the enemy immediately. These were all her emotions. As for whether this matter can be done, can it be She didn't think about doing it in a different way, or even what to do if it was done.

At that moment, she was only thinking about the bloody feud, thinking about dying together and not letting that person live.

It's enough to do this kind of thing once, and it's enough to kill her once.

"There are many things that can be done in this situation." She looked at Zhu Zan, "For example, the one you arranged is very suitable."

Zhu Zan was silent for a moment.

"Well, you've comforted me," he said, "thank you."

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled.

"Then do you want to thank me with your body?" she said.

Zhu Zan snorted, and was about to speak when Chen Qi's shout came from the yard.

"Miss Jun, Miss Jun, Shizi hasn't come back yet, did he run away..." He lowered his voice as if to whisper, but he raised his voice because he was afraid that Miss Jun on the roof would not be able to hear him.

"You just ran away." Zhu Zan cut him off angrily.

Chen Qi was taken aback and then laughed dryly.

"No, no, I made a mistake." He said hastily, "I mean the son is coming back late, do you want to prepare a midnight snack?"

"Get rolling," Zhu Zan said.

Chen Qi smiled and ran away.

Miss Jun also stood up.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Zan took a step back warily.

"I've seen enough of the night scene, and I'm going to eat supper." Miss Jun said, "Do you want to come together?"

After finishing speaking, he passed him without waiting for an answer.

Zhu Zan let out a sigh of relief, looked at the blurred figure of the woman in the night, and followed in silence for a moment.

The stars are dimming, the lights are dimming, the night is fading, and the morning light is beginning to appear.

There were already people walking around on the street, with cars, horses and sedan chairs waiting for them. These were the officials of the Great Court Assembly. Today was different from the past. The officials they met on the road all chatted with each other, with expressions that seemed excited and disturbed.

Soon a group of men and horses also walked on the street, wearing purple robes, nearly a hundred people followed, mighty and powerful, and the green-robed officials on the street hurriedly avoided.

This is the ceremonial guard of Cheng Guogong. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cheng Guogong rode on horseback and will soon arrive at Yujie.

Because the court meeting was still early, many officials stopped to eat at the restaurant stalls in the Imperial Gallery.

Cheng Guogong also stopped, does he also want to eat something here?

Cheng Guogong didn't look at the breakfast stall, but looked in another direction.

"Go." He said suddenly, urging the horse to turn around.

The follower was slightly taken aback.

"Where is the prince going?" he asked.

"To visit someone." Cheng Guogong said.
