The atmosphere was embarrassing for a moment. Obviously, Emperor Yuan's move was to deepen the resentment in Jun Zi'an's heart. He was indeed an emperor who liked to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. He simply gave them a push.

Junziyou is very clever, if he doesn't see this way, it will be useless to spend several years in Dali Temple.

Taking advantage of his three-point drunkenness, Emperor Yuan randomly took out a booklet and threw it out to hit Junzi'an on the face. Soon a bloodstain appeared on the man's face, which was shocking to watch.

The notebook fell to the ground, and the three characters "Lin Fengchi" marked in red by Zhu Zhu could be clearly seen on it. Obviously, this was a notebook that mentioned the Lin family's plot to rebel against the old.

"It's been three years... Junqing, come back this time, won't you leave?"

Jun Ziyou didn't know how to answer, and when he was struggling, the discomfort in his chest came up again, he had to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, turned his head and coughed suppressedly.

Xiao Beicheng couldn't express his concern because of the gentleman's presence, but just looked at the man with worried eyes.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan was full of sympathy for the sick young man, Jun Zian realized that the situation was not good for him, and after a little thought, he interjected, "Caomin dared to confess to the emperor, Ziyou will end up like this today, it's all because of me as an older brother Wrong, if I could have prevented him from being stupid back then, I wouldn't have the troubles I have today, if the emperor is annoyed, please punish me."

Emperor Yuan sneered, "What are you, you deserve to be hated in front of me, shut up and roll away!"

The sudden swearing made everyone startled.Xiao Beicheng thought to himself that the emperor was not so angry on weekdays. Could it be that he missed Junziyou too much, and after drinking a few cups of yellow soup, the alcohol got on his head, so he became so angry?

Although Jun Ziyou felt refreshed after hearing this, he understood that at least half of the fire was directed at himself. No matter what the reason was, feigning death is a crime of deceiving the emperor. This came out, it would be strange not to be hated.

And Junzi'an was purely blocking the emperor's anger for him, and the other party's bluffing trick of misfortune was really powerful. It not only gave him a blow, but also made Junzi'an hate him deeply, deepening the rift between the two.

Sure enough, the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high. After these years of withdrawal, he no longer understands the court situation and the emperor himself, and it is only a matter of time before he will be punished.

"Why is Junqing depressed, but still not feeling well?"

Emperor Yuan opened his mouth, and Jun Ziyou came back to his senses, hesitatingly shook his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but I... can't take it anymore."

Emperor Yuan sighed again when he heard the words, "It is true that I blamed you for what happened back then. Now that you are back, this is my chance to make amends. Don't forget to hate me. Come back, Dayuan and Beicheng... , are waiting for you."

"It's a gift from the emperor not to hold me accountable for my crime."

"So, did you agree? Very good, very good, I will appoint you as the young minister of Dali Temple today, and let you return to your original position... No, I will find you an errand in the Ministry of Punishment, so that you can be promoted several levels in succession. Minister of the Ministry of Punishments!"

Jun Ziyou couldn't laugh or cry, "The current Shaoqing is Mr. Jiang. No matter how good the relationship is, I can't take his seat. Besides, I have offended Mr. Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. If I immediately sit on an equal footing with him, he will not Comfortable. And..."

He glanced at Jun Zi'an, who was kneeling with gritted teeth, and saw that the other party was obviously wearing thin clothes, but his forehead was covered with sweat from the pain, and he couldn't bear it.

Seeing through his mood, Emperor Yuan secretly felt that Jun Ziyou was indeed a person who valued love and righteousness. He was glad that he was not really dead, but at the same time, he also felt that he was too indecisive in his actions, and he would be implicated by him if he continued to make decisions. It will definitely stumble later.

Thinking this way, he was also hesitant about how to deal with him. At this moment, Xiao Beicheng finally raised his eyes, handed the teacup to the eunuch who was serving him, lightly brushed his cuffs, and said as if it had nothing to do with him: "Your Majesty, These two brothers are very interesting, long before the minister brought people back to Beijing, some people claimed to be real gentlemen, not only the minister, even the emperor couldn't tell their identities."

"According to you..."

"Maybe let's test their abilities. No matter who is a gentleman, only those who are truly capable can stay in the court and stay with the emperor. In this way, no one will stick to their status, and it will prevent someone from using Some heretics come to harm people."

"When you said that, I remembered that a few days ago, I heard Lan Chen talking about a strange case that recently disturbed Shuntian Mansion. It must have been two or three months. Tan Jiuling took his master out every night. Catching ghosts, maybe you are still spending time outside right now, maybe you can get a face-to-face meeting if you go now."

As soon as Gusu's Piao Diaozi was solved, the capital was haunted again. Jun Ziyou felt the throbbing pain in his temples, and he glanced at Xiao Beicheng, who had such a moth, and was secretly having fun, watching him Feeling very angry, I couldn't help covering my mouth and questioning in a low voice: "What are you planning!"

The man smiled and said nothing, but Jun Zi'an couldn't sit still, grabbed Xiao Beicheng's clothes corner, gouged out Jun Ziyou's eyes, and said something misleading.

"Ziyou, it was my brother's fault that I lied to you in the past. Over the years, I have always regretted keeping you in the dark, but I was forced to. I, I also have something to hide..."

Jun Ziyou stared straight at Jun Zi's eyes that could not be avoided, with mixed feelings in his heart, he only responded with a seemingly simple but full of helplessness: "Mmm..."

"I want to say sorry to you for what I did wrong, and I would like to make up for everything I owed you, but... but the prince is really important to me, I can't live without him, so..."

"Everyone has heard it too. Since these are all your faults, how about you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and this matter is over?"

A person needs face, a tree needs bark, and the humblest person is invincible.

Jun Zi'an never expected him to say such a sentence, and even Xiao Beicheng and Emperor Yuan were shocked, and when he regained consciousness, Jun Ziyou had already retreated outside the door, and only said: "Your Majesty, my body I don’t feel well, so I won’t accompany you, whether it’s a strange case or a ghost, I don’t want to be involved in any case anymore. Anyway, I don’t have a few days to live, so I’d better enjoy a few days of peace and tranquility.”

After saying that, he staggered away, so anxious that Emperor Yuan got up and chased after him himself, "Junqing! Aren't you going to see Tan Jiuling?"

The gentleman waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "I don't care for Shaoqing's seat, whoever wants it can take it by himself, don't drag me into the water."

When he returned to the Prime Minister's mansion that night, after drinking a few glasses of good wine, he fell asleep until the next afternoon. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Ying sitting by the bed and staring at him. He thought something serious had happened. , screamed in fright, rolled out of bed and crawled out.

Even though Li Ying's legs were paralyzed, his movements were nimble, he just bent down and grabbed Junziyou's feet, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"Why are you running, can I still eat you?"

"If you knew what happened last night, you would want to eat me."

Li Ying looked at the wine jars rolling around on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "No matter what happens in the palace, nothing makes me feel worse than this jar of wine getting into your heart. Even if there are thousands of wine jars People want to kill you, as long as you want to live, then you can't die. But now it's clear that you killed yourself, how can I feel at ease."

Jun Ziyou stopped struggling, turned his head, looked at Li Ying with calm eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

Just when the latter thought that he was going to repeat the old trick again, he suddenly showed a smile to divert the topic and amuse himself, but saw the other party's eyes turned red suddenly, he choked up, and then broke into sobs, hugging his knees with both hands, Curled himself into a ball, coughing and crying.

"Why...why the two most important people to me, one abandoned me, the other abandoned me, I'm so disgusting, are they going to abandon me..."

Li Ying felt uncomfortable and didn't say anything to comfort him. After hearing him cry for a long time, he stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his sweaty head.

"Okay, it's almost enough. Let me tell you, maybe the person who pushes you away with his own hands is often the one who wants you to stay the most. He is loving and protecting you in the best way he thinks. You can I don’t understand, I don’t agree, but you can’t deny his contribution.”

The gentleman stopped crying, still maintained the posture of hugging himself, and only slowly raised his head when the fog covering his eyes cleared. "Is what you said true?"

Li Ying really can't believe that there are people in this world who cry with red eyes and rainy pear blossoms. If King Jin sees this, his heart may be broken.

He lightly squeezed Junziyou's chin, the man dodged his eyes, then he exerted a little force and punished him to wake him up.

"It's a blessing in disguise. This may not be a bad thing for you. Thinking about it from another angle, the group of people who wanted to kill you before can't tell which of you is the real one. If you accidentally kill the wrong one People, the one who offends is Ding'an Houfu, so the more he learns from you, the more beneficial he will be to you."

"Don't you think this is strange? He is clearly a treasure left by the Jiang family's old school for the restoration of the Jingshi. Why is he connected with the old master?"

"That's a good question..."

He sat up straight with a serious face, frowning slightly, with a serious expression, Jun Ziyou thought he was going to tell an unknown and tortuous bizarre story, but the other party raised his eyebrows and narrowed his almond eyes, like an old fox who has succeeded in plotting.

"……I do not know either."

Jun Ziyou was speechless, realized that just now he was talking nonsense, suddenly felt a little ridiculous, shook his head with a wry smile, and stood up on the ground, his body was so weak that he couldn't even walk steadily, it made people feel distressed.

"Forget it, those are not important. I don't know how long my life will last. Rather than intrigue with them, I still want to get to the bottom of what terrible message my incomprehensible father left. Although I have I have a premonition that no matter which path I take, I will end up with the same ending, but the process is different, at least I will feel more at ease in my heart.”

As he said that, he picked up the "Wild Things" again, just as his butt touched the stool, Li Ying said again: "Your current situation is very worrying, in order not to make me worry too much and shorten my life, I decided to send someone to protect your safety and take care of your daily life, so I can rest assured."

"You don't have to be so polite..."

"Let me tell you first, although I found the person, it doesn't mean that I also paid his wages. You should understand what I mean."

"That's why I said there's no need to be so... troublesome."

Before he finished speaking, someone entered the door, Junziyou immediately fell silent when he saw this person.

This person...why does he look familiar?

"Sir, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Jun Ziyou squinted his eyes and looked up and down. This man was tall and straight, not good-looking, but he was very upright. There was a scab across his face, running through the bridge of his nose. Injured not long ago.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen each other, and suddenly the memories are a little strange, but the figure of the other party soon coincides with the silhouette in memory. The background is in a mass grave. His veins popped up, and he yelled at him for something.

He hesitated and called out: "Yun...today?"

The other party smiled at him, "Sir, I have a good memory, but this is not my real name, in fact my name is..."

"Lu Chuan, a former Prime Minister. I put him in Dark Crow in the hope that someone would give me a tip-off. Fortunately, he was robbed by you, Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway, and had to feign death. I haven’t dared to go back to the capital for several years, and I get angry when I think about it.”

Li Ying glanced at Lu Chuan, with a hint of hatred for iron and steel, but Jun Ziyou swallowed, pointed at Lu Chuan, and stammered, "You, you, you...you were in danger in Jiangling..."

The righteous hero who stepped forward and was injured in saving others, but didn't even show his face, and hurriedly hid in the forest and left.

Lu Chuan hurriedly made a silent gesture to the person, implying that Junziyou should not talk too much, looked carefully at Li Ying who was full of doubts, and explained: "Master, Mr. is seriously ill, maybe he mistook me for something else People. I accidentally got this injury when I was fighting with someone, and it has nothing to do with others, so don't think too much about it."

Naturally, Li Ying would not be fooled by such a cheap trick, but since the two reunited after a long absence, they should have something to say to each other, so they found an excuse and left wisely.

After sending Li Ying away, Lu Chuan hurried back, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he closed the door, half-kneeled in front of Jun Ziyou, looked at his situation with a very humble attitude, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the door. He took off his trouser legs and made sure that there were no injuries on his body before greeting him with peace of mind: "You scared me to death. I entered the palace last night and caused me to worry about you for a long time. That counterfeit is on the bar. From now on, you can stay with the young master honestly, but don't cause trouble, now that the capital is in such a mess, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you."

This confuses the gentleman's lobbying. Before that, his relationship with Yun Jin or Lu Chuan was not that close. After all, he thought that the other party should still hate him for putting him in the coffin, and almost suffocated him. Yes, why did you suddenly change your attitude?

"You...have you misunderstood me?"

Lu Chuan was still worried, and cautiously glanced at the door before saying with a flat mouth, "I thought you were so smart, you must have discovered it a long time ago."

"……What's the meaning."

"Think about it carefully, is it true that only the people in Jinwang's mansion will respect you? Shen Ci will not talk about it. He is a young boy who doesn't know the rules. I address you, but I have always been cautious when speaking, and I have never overstepped, have I?"

"Could it be..."

"That's right, actually I...hehe, I'm from the palace." Lu Chuan rubbed his red earlobe and smiled embarrassedly, "Master Xiang, oh no, even the young master didn't know about it." , So, please help me keep it a secret, sir."

"So that's how it is... Li Ying'an inserted Dark Crow's eyeliner, and it turned out to be King Jin's man. No wonder you were not convicted for the assassination in Nanfeng Pavilion. Fortunately, I thought it was really because I had enough face that I followed the prince. I saved your dog's life... I really take it for granted."

Seeing the brilliance in the man's eyes dim, Lu Chuan quickly explained: "Don't think so, it is precisely because you care that the prince sent me to protect you."

Jun Ziyou pouted, looking a bit disdainful, "Just you?"

Lu Chuan turned serious, "Yes, it's me. Before questioning my ability, sir, you should think deeply about how many people in the huge palace can win the trust of the prince."

This is indeed Jun Ziyou's neglect. When I think about it, if Xiao Beicheng has never done anything in the three years after his death, it would indeed give people a chance to infiltrate the palace, then the truly credible people around him now There are very few people.

That person's way of pushing himself to Li Ying's side without saying a word was indeed too much, but it was undoubtedly the best way to protect him.

Although Li Ying has not been in the court for many years, it was only a few years ago that his father Li Sansi was posthumously named Duke Ning. Where is the status of the son, how can there be people who don't have eyes to break ground on him?

What's more, with the protection of the young master Qin Nangui and his dark crow, there will be no taboo for that desperate person to offend him.

It can be said that Li Mansion is definitely one of the safest places in the capital.

The author has something to say: Mr. Xiang really lives clearly and can see clearly.
