The prince is no longer a man

Duan Jingxun returned to the East Palace, called Chang Bin over, and asked about Xiao Anzi in a cold voice.

Chang Bin paused, and told the story one by one.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jingxun frowned and asked, "Did fifth brother kill Xiao Anzi?"

"Yes," Chang Bin replied: "The servant was also taken aback. Isn't the Fifth Prince's move blatantly against the Queen?"

Duan Jingxun pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "If you die, you will die, but what you have to do must continue. The Queen must not relax, Chonghua Palace also sent people to watch, and—"

There was a slight pause in the voice, and Duan Jingxun added: "I'm a little worried about Pei Rong."

Chang Bin understood, and immediately replied, "I understand."

After giving all the instructions, Duan Jingxun's depression didn't ease much. Perhaps it was because things were getting closer to the end he expected, and the closer he was to the end, he unexpectedly felt a little anxious.

There is still a hint of urgency in the anxiety, although he has been waiting, but today when faced with Pei Rong's eager questioning, Duan Jingxun almost couldn't hold back, and confessed all those unknown demands.

"It's coming soon..." Duan Jingxun leaned back on the chair and whispered to himself, "Just give me a little more time, everything will be over soon."

Ever since sending off Rue Xiang that day, Pei Rong tossed and turned almost every night, unable to sleep.

Knowing that Xiao Anzi is the Queen's person, but his mood did not relax because of this, on the contrary, it was even more difficult to understand the reason.

The Empress and Prince Shun's Mansion have always been stable on both sides. Why did she want to kill herself? This question, like a dark cloud that cannot be dispelled, enveloped Pei Rong's heart with low pressure, making Pei Rong feel breathless.

If Princess Shun came back from Fahua Temple and told Princess Shun about this, would she believe it?

The other party is the queen and the mother of a country. Even if this kind of thing is true, except for his own dream, there is no evidence to prove the truth of this matter.

Pei Rong paced back and forth in the room, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time Sixi came to report: "Young Master Rong, Mr. Sheng Yuan is here!"

When Pei Rong turned around, he saw Sheng Yuan walking towards him anxiously.

"Pei Rong, I heard that Princess Shun invited the imperial physician for you a few days ago, are you alright?"

Pei Rong forced a smile: "I'm fine, but you, why do you look in a hurry?"

"Don't mention it, I was imprisoned for a few more days, no, I heard about you as soon as I came out, so I came to see you."

"Confinement? Did you go to the military camp again without telling your father?"

"You still know me, but this is one of them."

"When I came back from the military camp that day, I heard from the servants in the mansion that my father was meeting guests in the mansion and no one was allowed to disturb him. You know me, I like to fight against my father, so I went to eavesdrop outside the door."

"I didn't expect my father to find out. He was so angry that he heard that I went to the military camp, so he locked me up."

After Sheng Yuan finished speaking, he sighed in a dignified manner: "It's made me uncomfortable these few days."

Pei Rong covered her mouth and smiled, deliberately pissing him off: "That's because you're not good at eavesdropping, so you can't blame others."

"Let's not talk about it," said Sheng Yuan, lowering his voice, and said mysteriously, "I have some good news to tell you."

"What?" Pei Rong became interested and asked curiously.

"When I went to the barracks, I heard that the Ministry of War was recruiting recruits, and I had already reported my name."

"Are you really going to join the army?!" This news shocked Pei Rong, and his voice raised a lot, "Aren't you afraid that your father will lock you up forever?"

"Hush!" Sheng Yuan hurriedly covered Pei Rong's mouth, "Hush your voice! Don't let others hear you!"

Pei Rong nodded his head "Mmm", Sheng Yuan let go of his hand with lingering fear, and reminded Pei Rong with his eyes not to speak so loudly again.

Pei Rong looked at Fang Wai with his head, and whispered: "Your father must not agree, what if he finds out?"

"So we have to hide it from him!" Sheng Yuan already had a countermeasure, and said confidently: "When the time comes, the decree will be finalized. If my father refuses to let him, can he still resist the decree?"

"You know, being able to march and fight is what I have always pursued. My father looks down on me, so I will show him!"

Sheng Yuan's enthusiasm made Pei Rong very excited. This news came so suddenly and so exciting, he nodded heavily, and said forcefully: "I believe you will become a great hero like the little general!"

Sheng Yuan scratched his head and smiled, his appearance was so straightforward, Pei Rong was moved by such a smile, and couldn't help laughing out.

"By the way," Pei Rong suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "When will the decree come down?"

"There are still three months left, and then I will go to the frontier. Maybe I can still see your father. If I do, I will send you a letter at that time, and you can send what you want to say to King Shun." Yes, I will deliver the letter for you!"

Being able to communicate with King Shun was something Pei Rong never thought about.

For a long time, the family letters sent back by King Shun have always been looked up by Princess Shun in the palace, and the reply letters are also handled by people in the palace. Apart from listening to Princess Shun mentioning King Shun, Pei Rong has no source of information about King Shun .

If this thing really happens in the future, Princess Shun won't have to wait for the day when she enters the palace every month to pay her respects, let alone take advantage of the withered leaves in the frontier every day to see things and think about others.

Pei Rong's eyes turned hot, and his heart was extremely moved, but he didn't want to let himself cry in front of Sheng Yuan.

He sniffed and smiled deliberately: "The frontier is vast and boundless, I don't know which army you will go to, I will talk about my father's affairs later, it is important now, but you have to be careful during this time, I will help you hide Good job!"

"I know, don't worry!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Sheng Yuan glanced at Pei Rong unnaturally, and asked, "How are you and the prince doing recently?"

Pei Rong's expression was slightly stiff, and the corner of his mouth smiled stiffly: "Why did you suddenly mention the prince?"

Sheng Yuan originally just mentioned it casually, but when he saw that Pei Rong was so uncomfortable, he said it seriously: "I didn't like the prince before because he treated you badly, but later——"

"After getting in touch with the prince, I think maybe it's not what I thought. He...he treats you very well."

It was quite difficult for Sheng Yuan to say the three words "very good", as if he wanted to admit that Duan Jingxun was good, it was really hard for him to say it.

But these three words opened his mouth, and the rest of the words were much easier for Sheng Yuan.

"I, a big bastard, can't understand the relationship between you and the prince, but I always feel that you should not be in this situation."

Hearing what Sheng Yuan said, Pei Rong's mood sank, and he said sullenly: "But he has something to hide from me. I asked him, but he still refused to tell."

"Don't you do the same with the prince?"

"What?" Pei Rong asked in confusion.

"I mean," Sheng Yuan explained, "Why did you change your attitude towards the prince? You have been hiding this reason from us, including the prince."

Sheng Yuan's words gave Pei Rong a pause, yes, he didn't realize it.

Duan Jingxun asked himself many times before, and he always found reasons to prevaricate, but Duan Jingxun never felt any displeasure.

Maybe it was because the things in the dream were too unbelievable, maybe it was because at that time he mistakenly thought that the real murderer was Duan Jingxun

No, no matter what, he finally hid it from Duan Jingxun.

But now it's different.

Now that he knows that the person behind the scenes is the empress, he can clearly explain to Duan Jingxun the reasons why he avoided him in the past, and the reasons why he sought Xiao Anzi, these things can be said, can't they?

But Pei Rong has scruples after all.

He bit his lips helplessly, and looked at Sheng Yuan blankly: "But... I'm afraid he won't believe me, and I was unhappy with him a few days ago..."

Hearing this, Sheng Yuan, who was always careless, also sighed.

"Pei Rong, the prince treats you differently after all."

Pei Rong suddenly understood something, the haze dissipated, his eyes were bright and compelling, fresh and agile, and there seemed to be a steady stream of courage and hope gushing out of his heart.

"I know, I know what I should do!"

"It's good if you figure it out," after finishing speaking, Sheng Yuan sighed helplessly, "I really didn't expect that there would be a day when I would unravel you."

Pei Rong smiled shyly and became shy.

Seeing this, Sheng Yuan didn't intend to stay any longer: "Okay, I can't stay any longer, my father has been very strict with me recently, so I have to go back sooner."

When Pei Rong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, then go back quickly, don't let anyone find out."

After Sheng Yuan left, Pei Rong patted his face, secretly cheered himself up, got up and entered the palace with a lot of things he wanted to say.

As soon as Pei Rong walked through the imperial garden, he saw Eunuch Li who was beside the queen coming out in a hurry at the corner ahead. Pei Rong was startled and hid behind the rockery in a panic. Knowing that they couldn't see him, he subconsciously held his breath.

As a series of footsteps approached, Eunuch Li's voice also reached Pei Rong's ears: "You guys, hurry up, the empress has sent you to ask questions, the palace is busy, if you still want the empress to wait, I will Let's see how you can afford it!"

About the Queen?

Pei Rong looked over from the small gap in the rockery, and the two young eunuchs behind Eunuch Li lowered their heads and followed behind Eunuch Li step by step.

It wasn't until they were far away that Pei Rong slowly came out from behind the rockery.

He wanted to go to the East Palace to find Duan Jingxun, but he didn't expect to bump into something about the queen. The two young eunuchs were not from the queen's palace, otherwise why would Eunuch Li bring them?

That being the case, then what are the two little eunuchs worthy of the Queen's troubles?

Pei Rong was struggling in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the Eastern Palace not far away, if he went to find Duan Jingxun now, he would definitely miss what happened with the queen, maybe he could find out the news he wanted to know.

In the end, Pei Rong became cruel, gritted his teeth, and followed her lightly.

How to enter the Kunning Palace, Pei Rong had already thought about his words, but he didn't expect that the Kunning Palace was quiet, and the maids cleaning the palace gate didn't know where they went. Such a great opportunity, Pei Rong no longer hesitated, and ran in quickly .

The door of the queen's main hall was closed tightly, and a man's cries and wailing could be faintly heard. Pei Rong couldn't help but lighten his steps, put his ear on the door and window, and listened carefully to the movement in the room.

"It's really useless!" Only the queen scolded angrily, and said sharply: "The person who was finally put into the East Palace is so stupid, the prince found out the clue!"

"Your Majesty, calm down," Eunuch Li said in a shrill voice, "Fortunately, we discovered it early, and if we bring him back, the Crown Prince will not be able to make a fuss."

Hearing that the queen was sending someone to monitor Duan Jingxun, Pei Rong's heart tightened, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help covering the door frame with his hands, not daring to let out a breath.

"Can't make a fuss? His thoughts are very deep. If it wasn't for Pei Rong's accident last time, I would have been mistaken. He actually hid it so deeply. Fortunately, Pei Rong really has no thoughts about the prince. "

"Then about Rong Shizi, will the empress continue?"

"Heh -" only heard the queen sneer, through the door frame, the queen's words made Pei Rong shudder.

"I'm not so anxious about Pei Rong's matter now. The first thing to solve is this disobedient prince, and the second is—"

Pei Rong only felt that his blood was frozen by the chill in these words, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't even notice that the toe of his shoe involuntarily kicked lightly on the door frame.

"Boom".

With a very slight sound, the conversation in the room stopped suddenly, followed by Eunuch Li's sharp and sharp voice at the door: "Who!"

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

Before Pei Rong had time to react, a big hand suddenly covered his mouth from behind, wrapped his arms around his waist, and with his irresistible strength, led him to jump lightly. Left Kunning Palace.
