Back to Zero

It can be said that several families are happy and some are sad when Jun Liche is crowned king. In fact, it is not bad to be crowned king. The point is the prince's promise of Emperor Yanxi.If Jun Liche gets married in the future, his status will be the highest among the current princes, which shows that Emperor Yanxi attaches great importance to him.

On the night when she got the news, the imperial concubine dropped the teacup.When the fifth prince saw Qin Ling, Emperor Yanxi didn't blame Jun Liyuan, but even sealed Jun Liche. He was so angry that he smashed up the study as soon as he returned to the mansion, cursing Luo Dingsheng for not doing enough.Compared to them, the fourth prince was so calm, he just went to Gonglianhou's mansion and stayed for one night.

The next day, Jun Liche's imperial decree to become king was officially promulgated.Jun Liche put on the royal uniform that the empress had quietly prepared a few years ago, and paid homage to his ancestors, and he officially became a prince.

The queen also went to offer incense to Concubine Xian to comfort her spirit in heaven.

The plaque of the Sixth Prince's Mansion was also replaced with the "Chong Wang Mansion" written by the emperor after the ancestor worship. After listening to the routine instruction from Emperor Yanxi, Jun Liche did not rush back to the mansion, but went to the queen's.

Sitting on the couch, the queen smiled and said, "The next thing you have to worry about is to quickly find a princess, so that the queen and your father will feel more at ease."

"My son is not in a hurry." Jun Liche said with a smile.

"Aren't you in a hurry? You don't even have a concubine's room in your house. The emperor's wife is still waiting to have a grandson." The queen urged.

"Royal marriages have always been rigorous, and they also pay attention to the right marriage. Besides, the minister believes in fate and is unwilling to force it." Jun Liche lowered his head slightly.

The queen sighed softly, and said: "Do you know why your father never married you? Even wanting you to marry Qiyang was just an idea."

Jun Liche looked at the queen and shook his head.Among these princes, apart from Jun Lixuan and him, everyone had a few concubines or concubines arranged by his father. Jun Lixuan didn't bother with these things at all at the time. In addition to the constant fighting and killing, it was not appropriate to be distracted, so he just let it go.And him, the emperor didn't mention it at all.

"This matter is still related to your mother and concubine. When she was pregnant with you, she told me and the emperor that she hoped that her child would find someone she really loves in the future. She doesn't ask for wealth and wealth, but only for a sincere relationship, happiness and harmony. "The queen smiled reminiscently, "My sister is a very beautiful person. The emperor didn't want to disobey her, so he agreed at that time. Although the emperor has not mentioned this matter these years, judging by his attitude, he still responds to your mother and concubine. I mean, let you choose yourself. As long as you have a good character and you like it, that's fine."

"I don't want my mother and concubine to plan to come here for my son..." Although he had never met his mother and concubine, he was very moved by this love for his son.

"You're a good boy and you didn't disappoint her. That's enough."

"Yes. Over the years, the empress and father have been worrying about their sons and officials."

"I should worry about you. I tell you this because I want to tell you that if you have a sweetheart, you can tell the queen. The queen is for you." The queen looked at him with a smile.

"Yes..." Jun Liche pursed his lower lip lightly, "My son knows."

Among Jun Liche's colleagues enjoying the joy of becoming a king, Wangyang Bo's mansion is not idle either.Ling Hongzhi returned triumphantly and received many rewards.Uncle Wangyang also specially entertained relatives and friends to celebrate his son's achievements.

Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang were not among those invited, after all there is no such thing as a prince going to celebrate a lieutenant general, so even if Ling Qiyang wanted to go, he couldn't.However, Ling Hongzhi had a heart, and the next day he visited Prince Lin's mansion.

"I'm bothering you, my lord." Seeing Jun Lixuan, Ling Hongzhi saluted.

"It's okay, sit down." For the sake of his usual kindness to Ling Qiyang, Jun Lixuan also gave face, "Qiyang was dispensing medicine just now, and he will come when he changes his clothes."

"Yes." Ling Hongzhi replied.

The two drank tea for a while, and Ling Qiyang walked in after having changed his clothes.

Ling Hongzhi got up and saluted, "The princess is well."

"Brother, you don't need to be too polite. Sit down." Ling Qiyang said with a smile.Even though he is in his family, he still has to do the etiquette that should be done, but the other party is his elder brother, so a half salute is enough.

Ling Qiyang sat next to Jun Lixuan, and then said again: "Did brother get injured during this expedition?"

"A little injury, with your medicine, naturally it will be fine." When going out to fight, injuries are always inevitable. After all, on the battlefield, either you die or I die, and swords have no eyes.

"That's good. I haven't congratulated the eldest brother on his return." Ling Qiyang smiled and picked up the teacup, "It was not easy to talk at the palace banquet before. Today, I will replace the wine with tea, congratulations to the eldest brother."

"Thank you." Ling Hongzhi picked up the teacup and touched Ling Qiyang lightly.After drinking the tea, Ling Hongzhi said, "I came here today because I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Ling Qiyang asked.

"When we quelled the chaos in Hanguan City, we also captured many enemy soldiers who killed and looted in the city that day. During the interrogation, those people said that they were only ordered to rob money and food. You are allowed to kill people, and if there is any resistance, you can learn a lesson or two. But I don’t know why, but people will be killed.” Ling Hongzhi said: “Later we interrogated the enemy soldiers who killed the people. For some reason, I felt anger welling up, so I shot and killed him."

Jun Lixuan frowned slightly, and he could understand that those who often fought were more murderous.Some dead people have seen too many, and their psychology is somewhat abnormal.But no matter what, the soldiers must obey the military orders. If it wasn't for the intention of the Dama patriarch, then they would be a bit too courageous.

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought it was an excuse for those murdering enemy soldiers. But yesterday, I heard about what happened in King Yi's army, and felt a little strange, so I came here to tell you." Ling Hongzhi said: "But those murderers The enemy soldiers were all executed in Hanguan City, and there is no way to check whether they are related."

Ling Qiyang frowned, the eldest brother didn't say that those people looked tired, and they were even alive when they were caught, it didn't seem like they were infected by the corpse thread Gu.

"I will pay attention to this matter. What my elder brother said is similar to the situation in the army, but it is not the same. There is no way to judge." Ling Qiyang said truthfully.

"Well, I just find it strange, as long as you know it well." Ling Hongzhi nodded.

Afterwards, Ling Qiyang chatted with Ling Hongzhi for a while, while Jun Lixuan sat aside, not talking much, as if he was just to accompany Ling Qiyang.They kept Ling Hongzhi for lunch, and asked him to bring some accessories to Aunt Zhou. Ling Hongzhi thanked him, took his leave and left.

"What do you think?" Jun Lixuan asked after Ling Hongzhi left.

"It's hard to say. Even if it is controlled by someone, it may just be a poison that makes people suddenly irritable and in a trance, not a Gu." Ling Qiyang analyzed.

"Well, I'll talk to third brother tomorrow and ask him to pay attention too." Jun Lixuan brushed away the broken hair on Ling Qiyang's forehead.

"En." Ling Qiyang nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Ming Li, who was on guard at night, whispered anxiously outside the door: "My lord, are you awake?" Although the voice was low, he knew that Jun Lixuan could hear it.

After waking up, Jun Lixuan looked at Ling Qiyang who was sleeping soundly, and gently pulled his arm out from under his neck.Ling Qiyang said "um", as if he was about to wake up, Jun Lixuan whispered in his ear: "It's still early, go to sleep."

Ling Qiyang dazedly grabbed Jun Lixuan's underwear, and fell asleep again.

Jun Lixuan watched Ling Qiyang's movements with a smile, and pulled the bell connected to the outside to signal that he was awake.Then he took off his underwear calmly and let Ling Qiyang grab it.Tucked the quilt again for him, and then turned to change clothes.

After leaving the bedroom, Jun Lixuan said "Come in", Ming Li hurried in and said in a low voice, "My lord, Wen Mo is here. It is said that the sixth prince asked the concubine to come over immediately."

Jun Lixuan frowned, "What's the rush?"

Ming Li said: "Wen Mo was crying, and the little one didn't ask why, but it sounds like something happened to Xiaoying." If he didn't know that this person had some status, he wouldn't dare to disturb his master.

"Xiaoying?" Jun Lixuan's brows frowned even deeper, "Understood, you go get ready and leave in a while."

"Yes!" Mingli hurriedly agreed and retreated.

Jun Lixuan returned to the bed and said in a low voice: "Qi Yang, wake up..."

"Hmm..." Ling Qiyang put some of the clothes in his hands into his bosom, and replied half-dream and half-awake.

"Something happened to Sixth Brother, I want you to go." Jun Lixuan picked him up, let him sit sideways on his lap, and wrapped him tightly with a quilt.

Hearing that something happened, Ling Qiyang also woke up a bit, looked up at Jun Lixuan, "What happened?"

"I don't know yet, Sixth Brother asked Wen Mo to invite you. It seems that something happened to Xiaoying." Jun Lixuan explained.

Hearing Xiaoying, Ling Qiyang woke up completely, "Then go quickly, don't make Brother Six wait."

"En." Jun Lixuan fed him a glass of water before taking the clothes to the bed for him to wear.

After the two of them finished washing, they got on the horse and went straight to Chongwang's mansion without even taking care of breakfast.

After entering Chongwang Mansion, the others didn't seem to know what happened. They were surprised that Lin Wang and his wife had arrived early in the morning, but when they saw Wen Mo following behind, they knew it was the master's intention.

Wen Mo took the two of them to Jun Liche's yard, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Jun Liche sitting on a stone bench.There was no one else in the courtyard, and it seemed that he didn't want others to know.

Seeing the two coming in, Jun Liche immediately went up to meet him, his eyes were full of anxiety and he said to Ling Qiyang, "Go in and see Xiaoying."

Ling Qiyang nodded and entered the room without asking any further questions.

As soon as he entered the door, Ling Qiyang knew what was going on, the smell of lust and blood mixed together, it didn't smell good.Carrying the medicine box and walking to the bed, Ling Qiyang couldn't help frowning because of the tragedy on the bed.

There were bloodstains everywhere on the sheets, and Xiaoying lay naked on the bed, her breathing was extremely weak.Hickey marks and tooth marks can be seen everywhere on the body, and some places have been bitten so that blood oozes out.Based on other bruises, there are countless.

This is Jun Liche's room, and the only one who can do such a thing here is Jun Liche himself.But Jun Liche has always been elegant, and he doesn't seem to have any perverted hobbies at all, so how could he torment people to this point?

Without thinking too much, Ling Qiyang took out a life-threatening ginseng pill, opened his mouth, and prepared to feed it in, but before the pill entered, Ling Qiyang discovered the problem——Xiaoying's tongue turned a strange purple color...
