Emperor's Grace

At night, Zhu Yunjing lay on the bed with his clothes closed and his eyes closed, but He Huailing was not around, so he didn't dare to just fall asleep.

Suddenly there was an inaudible sound of the door opening and closing, followed by a few deliberately light footsteps, Zhu Yunjing turned her back to the direction outside the bed, and quietly clenched the dagger hidden under the quilt.

Zhu Yunjing was about to move when his body was still slightly chilled, when He Huailing's voice sounded in his ears: "It's me, Que'er."

Zhu Yunjing heaved a sigh of relief and turned around. He Huailing shook his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "Get up quickly, we're leaving now."

He Huailing went out in the evening, and he came back when it was past time, and he didn't have time to ask him what he did, Zhu Yunjing got up immediately, He Huailing put a cloak against the wind on him, and led him quietly. Noisily went out the door.

He Huailing had already made arrangements outside, and a servant was waiting for them outside the side gate of the palace in a car.

The gate of the city has already been closed at this point, and after the carriage left the palace, it stopped in front of an inconspicuous small house in an alley not far from the gate to the west. , we wait here."

This house was rented by He Huailing during the day, and gave them a place to stay temporarily. The other two families were waiting here, and one person left the city during the day and would meet them outside the city.

After entering the door, they folded their clothes and lay on the bed to rest. Zhu Yunjing smelled the bloody smell on He Huailing's body, and frowned, "You went into the barbarian palace to kill people?"

He Huailing said indifferently, "Kill them King Khan."

Zhu Yunjing was very surprised: "You killed their King Khan in their palace? How did you escape?"

"It's just convenient." He Huailing explained that there was a banquet in the palace today, and he wanted to find an opportunity to go to King Khan's bedroom to steal the secret letters between them and the foreign people, but he didn't know that the drunk King Khan came back suddenly He hid in the dark and watched a scene of the live eroticism between the Khan and his concubine. When he was about to leave, he was discovered by them, and he simply killed him.

"King Khan indulged in sex and wine, and never allowed anyone to enter when he was looking for pleasure. Only then can I succeed. If no one finds him dead in the palace before dawn, we can leave the city smoothly."

Zhu Yunjing said: "Since the second prince is in charge of the government, it's useless for you to kill King Khan. Instead, you helped the second prince ascend the Khan throne earlier."

He Huailing said with a smile: "That's not entirely true. King Khan seems to be incompetent and ignores the government. His early prestige is still there, and there are many ministers who support him. The second prince is ruthless but has no plans. Many people are actually dissatisfied with him. From now on, it will be rare for Yuzhen Country to be peaceful."

In short, it would be good to cause some trouble to these barbarians.Zhu Yunjing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He Huailing glanced at the dark night outside and patted him on the waist: "It's still early. Go to sleep for a while. I'll call you when you're leaving."

Zhu Yunjing didn't feel sleepy, and casually mentioned what had happened in the past few months. Last night, he was robbed into the palace, and He Huailing had been dealing with things during the day and went back into the palace at night. They haven't had a good chat about it yet.In fact, there was nothing to say about the war. He Huailing had said everything he needed to say in the letters he sent back one after another, but Zhu Yunjing was afraid that he would be distracted outside, so he never told him the news about Beijing.

"Do you know... about the He family?"

He Huailing sighed softly: "I already knew about the rebellion. The He family was ransacked and beheaded. My younger brother has already written to me and told me what happened."

Zhu Yunjing didn't know what to say for a while, even if He Huailing had an awkward relationship with his grandfather and second uncle, they were still his close relatives, they and Zhu Yunxun were punished for treason, and the person who reported was his own brother, I'm afraid It is difficult for anyone to remain indifferent.

He Huailing said: "Little brother is not at fault, he is loyal to the emperor and also wants to protect his family, if not, I'm afraid that I, Dingyuanhoufu, will not be able to escape."

A look of hesitation flashed across Zhu Yunjing's eyes: "...It's good that you can figure it out."

He Huailing pinched his chin: "Que'er, is there anything else you haven't said?"

Zhu Yunjing looked at him, and there was unspeakable bitterness in his bright black pupils: "Although Ah Xuan didn't say it clearly in his letter, judging from the meaning between the lines, His Majesty should already know that I am still alive."

He Huailing was stunned for a moment: "How did he know?"

"There are still 3 people in the Qiongguan army who came from Beijing. Maybe some of them recognized me after seeing me, or maybe earlier..." Zhu Yunjing shook his head, and chose to use Xie Xique at the beginning. This name is already very bold, he can deceive others but not himself, there is a part of his desire for the emperor to know.

Perhaps deep down in his heart, he never believed that his father would be so unfeeling to him.As a result, as Zhu Yunjing thought, Emperor Zhaoyang did not kill him completely, but the truth was even more unacceptable.

He Huailing said: "Your Majesty already knows that you were framed, and that you are still alive...how did he react?"

Zhu Yunjing laughed at herself: "What else can I do? I'm already a dead person, can I come back from the dead and go back to be the crown prince?"

He didn't regret not being able to go back, but he never thought that the reason why he couldn't go back was just to make room for others.

There had been rumors about the real relationship between the emperor and the prince Anlehou before. He thought that even if it was true, an illegitimate child would not be enough of a threat to Zhu Yunxuan. The status is far inferior to that person.

These things are not difficult to guess. Although Zhu Yunxuan's letter was vague, it was only a few words, and Zhu Yunjing, who knew him well, could easily guess what he meant.

Compared with the fact that the emperor believed that he was going to conspire against him and order him to death, this kind of truth hit Zhu Yunjing even more fatally, but now he still had He Huailing and Yuan Bao by his side.

He Huailing didn't expect the truth to be like this, so he sighed for a while, and felt sorry for Zhu Yunjing. At the beginning, no one knew that the emperor was too indulgent and doting on the prince, so he developed such a domineering and flamboyant personality. Thinking about it, in the end, he gave Zhu Yunjing to death for another son, who was still an illegitimate child.

Even though Zhu Yunjing was wrong in all kinds of ways, others may not be clear about his admiration for the emperor, but He Huailing saw it clearly.

Zhu Yunjing closed her eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly sneered: "He has worked so hard for this illegitimate son, and he has abolished the crown prince to make room for him, and he is also a living target, and he has specially prepared a puppet for him. Everything is covered, don't just because this son was born by him."

It's no wonder Zhu Yunjing thinks so, otherwise he would want to give Yuan Bao the best, otherwise why would Liang Shizi be better than him who was almost brought up by Emperor Zhaoyang himself for more than ten years?

He Huailing coughed lowly: "A person like His Majesty... shouldn't be able to."

The emperor was thoughtful, moody, and gave birth to a child himself?How could it be...

Zhu Yunjing squinted at him: "What if there is some last resort? Do you think I was willing to give birth to Yuanbao?"

He Huailing didn't want to argue with him about this, so he took Zhu Yunjing's hand and comforted him: "Que'er, the past is over, don't be too entangled, why bother thinking about making yourself unhappy?"

Zhu Yunjing put away her joking mood, and her expression darkened: "Forget it, you are right, entanglement is just asking for trouble."

Anyway, they can't go back, and their father and son will never have the chance to see each other again in this life. Since the relationship between father and son has been severed, why should they keep thinking about it.

After talking for a while, the two of them still squinted in a daze for a while, and just as Yinshi arrived, the servant knocked on the door to remind them that many officers and soldiers had suddenly appeared on the street outside, searching people from house to house, and the city gate seemed to be temporarily closed. will open.

Obviously, the killing of King Khan had already happened, and the three princes He Huailing pretended to be disappeared at the same time, so he was naturally the one to search.

Zhu Yunjing said: "I knew it would be better to stay in the palace for now."

He Huailing shook his head: "I was the last one to leave the palace, so I was the most suspected one. Even if we don't leave, the suspicion will still be on me, and it will be even more difficult to escape."

"What shall we do now?"

"Don't be nervous."

It was almost dawn when the officers and soldiers found their house and broke in. Several servants pretended to stop them a few times and let them in.The door of the main room was kicked open, and the people who were hugging and sitting together behind the bed curtain suddenly stopped, and the long sword swiped open the gauze curtain. He Huailing quickly pulled up the quilt and covered Zhu Yun With Jing's bare shoulders, Zhu Yunjing lay in his arms too shy to look up, still panting.

The leader was taken aback when he saw this charming scene, and asked in a rough voice, "You two are the only ones here? What do you do? Did you see any suspicious people coming in?"

He Huailing frowned and said, "It's only my wife and I in this room. If you barge in like this, how will my wife behave in the future?"

The servant who followed in asked anxiously: "Master, who are you looking for? We are here to do business, and we rented this house for a temporary stay. I really didn't see any suspicious people. You broke in like this. It is really……"

The man glanced at the shivering little lady in He Huailing's arms, and then took a few more careful glances at He Huailing. He Huailing's face was changed for him by his servant, and he modified his original appearance, which was not even half similar to that fake Chen Bo. place.

The others had already turned several houses upside down, and indeed found nothing suspicious. The leader curled his lips and led the people to the next house.

After the footsteps gradually faded away, Zhu Yunjing sat up from He Huailing's arms, and pushed him angrily: "Can I get away with this?"

He Huailing smiled: "Whoever is hiding in Tibet will think about this matter, don't worry, they won't come back again."
