Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xiling was startled, and she pulled Zhou Jin, and together they leaned out of the window, and saw Yuan Zhen.

Zhou Jin was shocked. "Yuan Zhen? You..."

Before Zhou Jin could finish his question, he saw Yuan Zhen raising his hand and throwing a package over, "Give it to Your Majesty!"

Gu Xiling quickly caught the package and asked, "Yuan Zhen, is someone pursuing you?"

Yuan Zhen nodded, "Yes."

"Then you might be exposed. It's very dangerous to go back." Zhou Jin frowned, "Why don't you go directly to Jinlinwei? Those people don't dare to go there."

Yuan Zhen chuckled, "Don't worry about me, I have ways to protect myself. As long as you hand the things over to His Majesty, I will die without regrets."

After saying that, Yuan Zhen retracted his head, disguised himself and left.

About half an incense stick of time later, the door next door was knocked open.

Gu Xiling only heard someone next door say, "He's not here, he ran away!"

Another person said in a hoarse and low voice, "Is it Yuan Zhen, Wang Shiwen, or someone else?"

"Anyone who is not here today is a suspect. Let's go check it out now. We can't let any spies go." A younger voice gritted its teeth.

If the lost items were discovered by Jinlinwei, their Honglianfang would fail and the prince's plan would be ruined.

After a burst of hurried footsteps left, the next door returned to silence.

Zhou Jin looked at the package that Gu Xiling had placed on the beam and said, "My dear, let's go home."

Gu Xiling nodded, jumped onto the beam, and put the package that Yuan Zhen handed over into the food box.

Xiufang was carrying the food box, feeling nervous, but when she saw that the Crown Prince's wife was calm and composed, she gradually relaxed.

After returning to Changning Marquis Mansion, Zhou Jin did not open the package, but put it in the study.

He personally guarded these things and did not allow anyone to approach them.

The next morning, Zhou Jin went to the yamen as usual, and brought a memorial to ask for an audience with the emperor.

As soon as Emperor Kangping came out of court, he heard the report from the eunuch Huang Bing.

Emperor Kangping was suspicious. Why didn't Zhou Jin come here at this time?

However, Zhou Jin is a guy who never does useless things, so this must be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Emperor Kangping quickly asked Huang Bing to bring Zhou Jin in.

Zhou Jin came in and greeted them.

Emperor Kangping asked: "Zhou Jin, what's in your food box?"

Zhou Jin replied: "This is a letter from a good friend to your majesty, but I don't know what's inside. Please have someone check it before you check it to prevent fraud."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangping immediately thought of Yuan Zhen, "Huang Bing, help me check this out."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Huang Bing responded, opened the food box on a table far away from Emperor Kangping, and took out a package from it.

When Huang Bing saw the jade pendant inside, his expression changed drastically, "Impossible!"

Emperor Kangping wanted to come over when he saw this, but was stopped by Zhou Jin, "Your Majesty, please wait until Eunuch Huang has finished his inspection before you take a look."

Huang Bing also responded to his responsibilities at this time and took out a silver needle to test whether there was any poison.

There was no poison on the jade pendant, and neither were the dozens of remaining letters.

"It's him!" Emperor Kangping walked over and looked at the jade pendant with disappointment and anger in his eyes.

Huang Bing knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Prince Yun... Prince Yun is gone!"

Emperor Kangping sneered, "These good brothers of mine are all better at pretending than the other. Huang Bing, read the letter. I want to listen."

Zhou Jin bowed, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

"No, you stay." Emperor Kang Ping said in a deep voice, "Since you already know the beginning of some things, you must also want to know the follow-up."

Zhou Jin was stunned. He already knew the general situation from Gu Xiling, but he couldn't say it.

His father was not at home, and Zhou Jin did not want to get involved in these troublesome matters.

After all, the whole family, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, depends on him alone to support them.

If you can't hold on, it may bring about fatal disaster.

He is not afraid of death, but what about the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in his family?

Although he knew that his wife Gu Xiling was skilled in martial arts and very intelligent, he did not want to see his family get hurt.

But now that His Majesty has made such a request, Zhou Jin cannot hide away.

When Huang Bing heard His Majesty say this, he did not avoid Zhou Jin and began to read the letter.

The content inside made Emperor Kangping's face become more and more gloomy.

Throughout his life, Emperor Kangping experienced brutal struggles for the throne since he was a child and had to suppress rebellions by royal relatives many times, which made him have a big heart.

But in a letter the Queen Mother wrote to Prince Yun, she wrote that she had given Emperor Kangping the medicine so that he would only have one child in his life.

Emperor Kangping was shaking, and Zhou Jin hurried forward to support him, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"

Emperor Kangping treated the Empress Dowager as his own mother, but the Empress Dowager had long harbored rebellious intentions and drugged His Majesty.

It can be said that Your Majesty has only one child now, all because of the Queen Mother.

Emperor Kangping only felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat and originally thought that the Queen Mother was not involved.

But these letters made Emperor Kangping despair.

Huang Bing recognized the Queen Mother's handwriting, which were all letters between Prince Yun and the Queen Mother and their confidants.

Huang Bing also hurriedly reminded, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. The prince has not yet married and still needs your Majesty's guidance. If you fall, Kangguo will be in chaos."

Now that he has joined the game, Zhou Jin cannot stay out of it and continues to persuade Emperor Kang Ping, "Your Majesty, everything is under control. That person played a great role in getting these letters this time."

After hearing Zhou Jin and Huang Bing's persuasion, Emperor Kangping took a few deep breaths. Having experienced many storms, he soon calmed down.

It was just as Zhou Jin said, everything was under control.

Those Red Lotus gentlemen are a bunch of stinky bugs, shameful to be seen by the public.

On the contrary, the real concern is that the owner of these letters is making peace with Prince Yun.

One of them was actually the Minister of War, a third-rank official who held real power.

"Pass the message to Xu Cheng." Huang Bing put the letter down and went out to pass the message.

Emperor Kang Ping looked at Zhou Jin, "Zhou Jin, you read."

Zhou Jin walked to the table, picked up the next letters that had not been read yet, and tried to read the contents of the letters in a calm voice.

Although he had suppressed his nervousness, his slightly fluctuating voice revealed Zhou Jin's inner thoughts.

These people are so bold and presumptuous, they deserve to die!

Emperor Kangping listened calmly as Zhou Jin read the letters. He was not actually angry about the betrayal of these ministers.

These people have other purposes, either they want to take advantage of the situation, or they are forced to do so.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Once caught, they will be killed, and the punishment will be the execution of the entire family.

The person that Emperor Kangping could not accept the most was the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Kangping lost his mother at an early age and was very grateful to the Empress Dowager for the help he received.

It turned out that the Queen Mother didn't want Prince Yun to ascend the throne at that time, but Prince Yun was too young, and even if he ascended the throne, he would not be able to control the court.

This kind of emotional betrayal is what Emperor Kangping cannot accept the most, and death is not a pity!

After reading the letter, Zhou Jin stood in front of Emperor Kangping, silent.

At this time, Xu Cheng received a report that when he arrived at Guyuan Building yesterday, he was already half an hour late and did not see Yuan Zhen.

Xu Cheng asked people to look for Yuan Zhen, but they could not find him.

Just when he was feeling worried, Xu Cheng received a message from the eunuch that the emperor had summoned him, so he hurried over.
