Regent, he has my cub

"presumptuous!"

Le Zhengchun immediately knelt down on the ground.

Ji Xuanling really got angry this time, the extremely oppressive look in his eyes even made Le Zhengchun feel a little strange.

"How can you criticize the regent?"

Le Zhengchun closed his mouth, wisely not continuing to speak in his anger.

Ji Xuanling calmed down a bit after he finished spreading his anger, and asked him with a frown: "I know that you two, your grandparents, have always had deep opinions on the emperor's uncle. It's nothing more than a stubborn old man on the right, but the emperor's uncle is more than half a teacher to you." You should be clear about his temperament. Do you really think he will miss this position?"

"It is precisely because I know that I advise Your Majesty to be careful." Le Zhengchun selectively ignored what Ji Xuanling said about his grandfather's stubbornness.

"The prince may not care about these things, but he will definitely care about the death of Old General Yun and everything related to the Yun family."

Ji Xuanling was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

Le Zhengchun paused, as if he was recalling something.

"This matter starts with Nanhuai King's rebellion..."

Nanhuai King Xiao Qin, like Yun Youqing, has nothing to do with the Ji family, but a king with a different surname who was canonized by the late emperor during his reign.

It's just different from Yun Youqing's order to Tuogu, Xiao Qin's meritorious service is too outstanding, to the point where the meritorious service is so high that the late emperor had to give him enough face.

However, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, after Xiao Qin stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for two years, relying on the sky and the emperor's distance, he gradually developed thoughts that he shouldn't have.

He was caught off guard when he dispatched troops. Yun Youqing's father, who was working in Jiangnan at the time, had no time to react, and was soon captured. Together with his wife, he was thrown into a prison.

When the news was sent back to Gyeonggi, the first emperor was furious.

As a result, after searching all over the government and the public, there is only one Yunjian that can be used.

At that time, some people worried that Yun Jian would eventually turn against each other because of his fellowship with Xiao Qin and the fact that his son and daughter-in-law were in the hands of the other party.

The first emperor scolded him on the spot.

"Since you are worried, how about leading the troops yourself?"

No one dared to speak up.

Three days later, Yun Jian led the army southward alone, while Yun Youqing was left in the palace.

The two sides were anxious for more than two months, but He Yunjian had scruples in his heart, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and was finally besieged by Xiao Qin in Xinzhou City.

When the battle report came back, the original doubts in everyone's hearts were continuously magnified, and even the first emperor began to doubt that his decision was correct enough.At this time, Gu Wenhan suggested that his brother-in-law, Chen Ying, who was stationed in the southwest at that time, go to rescue Xinzhou.

It's just that before the reinforcements arrived, Yun Jian made a dangerous move and died with King Nanhuai.

When Chen Ying arrived, he only had time to collect Old General Yun's body.

Father Yun Yunmu, who was taken hostage by King Nanhuai, also died on that day.

"After the news that Old General Yun was trapped in Xinzhou City came back, the late emperor hesitated for three whole days, and Chen Ying's reinforcements were only three days away from arriving in Xinzhou." Le Zhengchun looked up at him, "Your Majesty What do you think the prince will think?"

how to think?

Naturally, he wondered if the Yun family would not have ended up in such a fate if his father hadn't been indecisive for three days.

but……

"This is just your speculation." Ji Xuanling said, "If you doubt the emperor's uncle because of this, I have nothing to say. But I don't want to hear things like today again, understand?"

There is nothing wrong with Le Zhengchun's suspicion, but Ji Xuanling would never jump to judgment before hearing Yun Youqing's own confession.

What's more, if this is true, it's because the members of his Ji family have wronged the Yun family.

"Your Majesty!" Le Zhengchun couldn't believe it.

He found that he seemed to have underestimated Ji Xuanling's feelings for Yun Youqing.

"The news of Yao San's death was suppressed and he died in Dali Temple. Others will continue to interrogate him."

"Chen Ting..." Ji Xuanling called people in after explaining, "Send Master Lezheng back."

Le Zhengchun couldn't help being a little disappointed by his determined indifference, so he had to return in vain.

It was midnight when he got home, but he didn't expect that Le Zhengjun hadn't rested yet, and someone called him to the study as soon as he entered the door.

"You went to look for His Majesty just now?" Le Zhengjun was well-informed, presumably the servant who followed him came back to report the news.

But Le Zhengchun didn't care, he lowered his head and replied a little dejectedly: "Yes..."

"You have to work hard in investigating the case these few days, don't disappoint His Majesty's trust." The old man stroked his beard and taught earnestly.

"nature……"

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a few words about the case. While the old man sighed, he was very pleased with the closure of Qiushuifang.Even if he knew that after a Qiushuifang was closed, there would still be Chunshuifang or other such places.

It's not easy for Le Zhengchun to reveal too much about this matter, and it seems that there is nothing to say, the old man finally hesitated to say what he had kept in his heart for a long time.

"You have been running to the palace frequently these days, but have you ever seen someone beside His Majesty...?"

Le Zhengjun was still thinking about the sweetheart that Ji Xuanling had told him about before, although the matter of the queen was over, but this matter was like a thorn in his heart all the time.

Extra people?

Le Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Grandpa said, but Chen Ting?"

Before he left Beijing to take up his post in the south of the Yangtze River, it seemed that he had never seen this little yellow door by Ji Xuanling's side.

"After Mr. Chen was allowed to cultivate in the mansion outside the palace, His Majesty often took him with him. I heard that he is Mr. Chen's new godson."

Le Zhengjun suddenly felt that he understood something.

Seeing his grandfather's expression change from dazed to entangled to helpless, Le Zhengchun couldn't help but wondered: "Grandfather asked this..."

"No, it's nothing." Le Zhengjun waved his hand at him, "It's getting late, you should go back to rest earlier."

The less people know about this, the better.

Le Zhengjun thought worriedly.

Chen Ting, who had just closed the gate of Changning Palace, sneezed loudly in the wind, rubbed his arms, and complained, "Why is it so cold today?"

The next day, Yun Youqing came from the Prince Regent's Mansion, but when he learned that Ji Xuanling had gone to Longqing Palace, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Ever since he put on the dragon robe in a daze and was transferred to Yuqian that day, Chen Ting has become a lot more courageous. He felt that he vaguely knew some delicate relationship between His Majesty and the Regent, so he unconsciously became cautious when speaking.

"It's nothing..." Yun Youqing shook her head, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Ting quickly took two steps to block his way, "Won't the lord look for His Majesty?"

"Longqing Palace... I won't go to the palace." Yun Youqing didn't know what came to his mind, he just thought that the child missed his father, and thought it was wise to go to Hanzhang Palace to wait.

Chen Ting hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ordered that as long as you come over, no matter what he is doing, just take you to find him."

Yun Youqing nodded.

Chen Ting had never been to this place before, but he felt a sense of familiarity, but he didn't think about it so much, he sent him to Longqing Palace and left.

He would never have thought that if Ji Xuanling hadn't transferred him to his side, he would have offended the head of the dining room a month later, and then he would be driven to this empty palace to do cleaning alone.

Ji Xuanling was alone in the hall, and when he heard his footsteps, he turned his head, "Uncle Emperor..."

He sat cross-legged on the ground, without the slightest demeanor that an emperor should have.

"Hmm..." Yun Youqing responded lightly.

"There are still more than half a month, and it will be the death day of the father." Ji Xuanling's face can't see too much sadness and nostalgia. No matter how much sadness, it will settle after the dilution of time. , I suddenly feel lost.

Yun Youqing felt that maybe he should comfort him, maybe he didn't know what to say, so he remained silent in the end.

"The feudal lords from all over the world will be going to Beijing in a few days. Can the emperor receive them for me?"

There are only a few noble people in the capital, Rong Guogong must have been dizzy and overwhelmed recently, apart from Yun Youqing, there is probably no better candidate.

——Since he took over all the government affairs, I am afraid that there is no one in the whole capital who is more leisurely than Yun Youqing.

"Alright..." Yun Youqing nodded in response.

Ji Xuanling smiled, stretched out his hands and handed them to him, like a child, "Uncle Huang pulled me up."

Yun Youqing was helpless, stepped forward and grabbed his hand.Fortunately, Ji Xuanling didn't play any tricks by dragging him down suddenly to scare him, and took him to the side hall to sit after getting up.

"Yesterday..." There was a moment of silence, and the two opened their mouths at the same time tacitly.

Ji Xuanling smiled, and humbly said: "Uncle Huang first said..."

Yun Youqing paused, hesitated for a while before saying: "I went to the prison of Dali Temple yesterday..."

Hearing him take the initiative to mention this matter, Ji Xuanling's eyes showed a faint smile.

What a coincidence, what he wanted to say just now was exactly this matter.

"And then?" Ji Xuanling tilted his head at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Yao San was indeed someone who was close to King Nanhuai back then. I wanted to ask him about the past, but he never asked. In the end, he committed suicide by taking poison in front of me." Yun Youqing said a few words After explaining the matter, there is no other explanation.

Ji Xuanling didn't ask too much.

"Your Majesty... don't you have anything to ask?"

For example, did Yao San's death have anything to do with him?

"Yes, of course there is."

After Ji Xuanling finished speaking, a look of disappointment flashed across Yun Youqing's face, and he couldn't tell what his mood was.

"I want to know, 12 years ago, the emperor did not send troops to help Xinzhou, did the emperor blame him?"

Yun Youqing didn't expect him to mention this matter suddenly, after being stunned, he shook his head at him.

"This matter has nothing to do with the late emperor. It was the minister who asked himself to lead the troops, so that the late emperor was in a dilemma between the humble minister and General Chen. If the responsibility must be shifted to someone, the wrong person may be the humble minister Bar."

Ji Xuanling did not expect such a truth, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his father's concerns.

If the father really trusted the Yun family completely, then the uncle is undoubtedly a good choice.But Yun Youqing was only sixteen back then, if there was a mistake, the whole Yun family might die.

Chen Ying was from the southwest, not too far from Xinzhou, but his in-law relationship with Duke Rong would inevitably make Ji Xuanling wary of his father, who had been controlled by his relatives all his life.

It's just that, the emperor should blame himself...

Thinking about it, Ji Xuanling squeezed in front of him, embraced his waist under Yun Youqing's astonished eyes, and even tried to bury her tall and strong body in his arms.

Yun Youqing froze, and then felt Ji Xuanling pat him on the back twice, and said, "This is the first time that Uncle Huang has explained to me in so many years."

"You... let go..." Yun Youqing was at a loss.

Unexpectedly, the little bastard hugged his waist, and said "Hey", "Has the emperor gained weight recently?"

"..." The blue veins on Yun Youqing's forehead twitched, and he felt that the little bastard would be able to go to the house without a fight for three days.

Ji Xuanling raised his head slightly, seeing his face flushed with shame and anger, and suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

He licked his upper lip, his heart was beating like a drum, and in a moment of daring, he quickly pecked at the corner of Yun Youqing's mouth.

They looked at each other, and there was silence around them.

Before Yun Youqing recovered, Ji Xuanling let him go and ran away.

Yun Youqing's anger rushed to the top of his head along with the heat, and he stood up abruptly, "Ji Xuanling, you—"

However, there was no sign of Ji Xuanling in the hall.
