Palace

On the streets of the capital, Zhong Li made it himself, and was ruthlessly made by King Zhan!

When the emperor heard about it, he knew it, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

Although many times, King Zhan always makes people hate itchy. But occasionally, he also has times when he is likable. Just like the one on the street today.

Dayuan and Haoyue, on the bright side, the official said: Naturally, the diplomatic relations are very good, and they are harmonious.

However, how can there be real harmony between countries?

As the largest country, Dayuan has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the country is prosperous. As an emperor, Yun Gully is naturally ambitious.

As the crown prince, his goal was to secure the throne of the Great Yuan monarch. And now, sitting on the dragon chair, the king who is only for Dayuan, can no longer satisfy him.

Dominate the world, unify the territory, and become the sole ruler of this world. Leaving history forever and becoming an emperor through the ages is what he ultimately wants.

The mind is here. In this way, for Haoyue, including Da Yue, what the emperor wants from the bottom of his heart is their submission. It's not the casualness of coming to see me when I think of it occasionally.

And at present, the reason why this group of harmonious diplomatic relations is still maintained is only because Dayuan is still unstable inside, and it is not yet time to expand the section. There is always a day, though.

The emperor had such a heart, so he was naturally very satisfied with King Zhan's humiliation of Zhong Lijin.

Haoyue Prince Zhong Lijian, an overly ostentatious person who is almost arrogant. The emperor was very displeased. It is necessary to frustrate his spirit.

Otherwise, one day if he inherits the Haoyue unification. That, it must be more noisy than Haoyue's current emperor.

***

When Zhong Liyin heard about the streets, he smiled faintly and didn't say anything. What is going on in my heart, no one can see it.

"Where are the prince and the others now?"

"Back to the prince, now the royal palace is resting for a while, and it should be after freshening up and then entering the palace to pay a visit."

Zhong Liyin listened and didn't ask any more.

The guard paused, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak again, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, those people sent by Prince Zhan ......"

Is it placement? Or disposal? Ask for an explicit one. Otherwise, looking at those big men, they stared at Zhong Liyin's body with fierce eyes. As a subordinate, he is really under a lot of pressure.

"Keep it!"

When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but look up, stay? The answer, unexpected.

Zhong Li smiled faintly, the wind was light, "Being thought about by a man, this feels ...... It's a novelty. With that, he walked out.

Leave the guards dumbfounded.

New...... Novelty? Zhong Liyin's answer, he was only shocked.

The prince will not ...... As soon as a thought came to his head, he immediately shook his head and threw it out. That's impossible.

The prince is about to marry the princess, and the one he likes must be a woman. Definitely not ......

Thinking about it, I followed it with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and the back of my head was cold. With that thought, the image that came to his mind, made his heart beat unsteady and sweat.

Royal Annex

Haoyue Crown Princess Nangong Zi, eighteen years old, dignified and elegant, beautiful appearance, gentle temperament.

Nangong Yue (the person who will be the princess of Ren) is sixteen years old, with a soft appearance, delicate and timid, revealing a taste of pity that I see, which makes people can't help but want to take care of it. I just don't know if Zhong Liyin feels the same way.

"Imperial sister-in-law...... Well, the little three are also there! (Nangong Yue is the third oldest at home!) ）

The sound is in the ears, and the people are in front of them.

Princess Haoyue Zhong Liyun is more than fifteen years old, and she is the age when she is ready to be released. But because of the gorgeous appearance, it is already a great exhibition, just like the blooming peony, delicate and dazzling.

"Like a princess!" Nangong Yue got up, leaned over slightly, and saluted.

Nangong Zi smiled gently, and said softly, "Ru'er!" ”

Ru'er - Zhong Liyun's small characters. The emperor's meaning is like a jewel. From this name, it can be seen that Zhong Liyun's favor in the Haoyue royal family can be seen to be extraordinary.

"Imperial sister-in-law, junior, look, how about I wear this clothes?" As he spoke, he pulled up the hem of his skirt and spun it around.

With her movements, the skirt spreads out, like a blooming flower, layer by layer, layer by step, lotus every step, people can't take their eyes off.

"How? Is it good-looking? ”

"Well, it's beautiful." Nangong Yue chuckled.

Nangong Zi looked at Zhong Liyun and said lightly, "If the princess wears this dress, if she dances, she will definitely be very amazing." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Liyun smiled, "The imperial sister-in-law is really smart, I'm just going to dance." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Zi raised her eyebrows, "The princess wants to dance?" ”

"Yes!" Zhong Liyun stroked his long sleeves, his eyes were shining, "The palace banquet of the Dayuan court is a must-have talent." In this way, I naturally have to prepare, and let them all see the demeanor of our Haoyue royal family. ”

The first time he came to Dayuan, Zhong Liyun was extremely excited. At the same time, there is also resentment.

"Especially that Zhan Wangye, don't be too arrogant, he ......" Before the words were finished, Nangong Zi's soft voice sounded.

"Ru'er, we just entered the palace when we were young. The palace banquet should be tomorrow. After a long journey and a long journey, we also need to take a good rest. ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, I'm not stupid. Of course I know this, I just want you to see it first. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Zi smiled slightly and nodded, "It's very good-looking." ”

"That's good." After saying that, he ran away with his skirt.

Zhong Liyun left, Nangong Zi looked at Nangong Yue, and said gently, "You are also tired along the way, go and rest for a while!" Otherwise, you will lose your spirit. ”

Nangong Yuerou complied and left.

The room was quiet, and Nangong Zi relaxed her body and leaned on the soft chair. Thinking of Zhong Liyun, doubts came to my heart again.

Many times, Nangong Zi couldn't figure out why Zhong Lijin was so protective of Zhong Liyun.

In the Haoyue Palace, there are more than three princesses who are smarter and clever than Zhong Liyun. As long as the wrist is strong and used properly, each can become a help.

But Zhong Liyun ......

Glamorous, proud, flamboyant, stupid – that's it

, flamboyant, stupid - this is Zhong Liyun.

In Nangong Zi's eyes, except for his appearance, Zhong Liyun was not satisfied. It's completely mud that can't hold up to the wall.

Just like just now, in the annex of this Dayuan royal family. opened his mouth to ask Prince Zhan not to be too arrogant......

There is also that indignant, looking like he wants to crusade against King Zhan and want King Zhan to look good. It's really ......

Being a princess is so ignorant and ignorant that sometimes it makes people feel incredible.

is such a princess, Zhong Lijin and her are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, but they have protected her tightly since she was a child, why?

I exhaled a breath of turbidity, I really can't figure it out!

However, no matter what, she didn't think that Zhong Lijin would protect Zhong Liyun for no reason and without any intentions. There must be a reason for this, but she hasn't seen it through yet.

Other than that......

What made her also confused was Da Yuan, the prince of Zhan.

What is wanton, what is arrogant, what is nobody! Before, she thought that Zhong Lijin had fully interpreted the meaning of these words. But today......

She has gained knowledge again. King Zhan of Dayuan really made his arrogance to the extreme.

Unstable, vicious, moody, etc.! She had heard a lot about the rumors of King Dayuan Zhan. Because he has not really been in contact, he only listens to rumors, Nangong Zizi will not believe it all, the so-called three people become tigers, and with false rumors, a little thing can be infinitely expanded. Therefore, she has always had reservations about the rumors of King Zhan! Can be ...... today

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I was shocked to find that the rumors turned out to be true! And more than that.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, he just did it, and Nangong Zi was stunned at that time. directly doubted, did that prince not know Zhong Lijin? Or is he himself crippled and blind?

Then, after seeing those sturdy guards who suddenly came out, as well as the longbow that had been aligned and drawn, Nangong Zi......

Raise your hand and press the center of your eyebrows, it's really a long insight.

King Dayuan Zhan had such an attitude. Then, Emperor Dayuan's courtesy to Haoyue and Zhong Li is probably also false.

"The crown princess!"

"What?"

"The girl we brought back, she's awake!"

When Nangong Zi heard this, he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and bring the palace doctor over to have a look." ”

"Yes!"

"Mama Xu."

"The old slave is here!"

"You follow and see, and report anything immediately."

"Yes!"

People I met on the way to Beijing. The guard opened the way ahead, and the defensive sword was bright, and the opponent was unprepared for a while, and the horse was shockingly injured and fell into a coma. I thought that at most, it would be the end of sending people to the hospital for treatment. Never thought that Zhong Lijin would let someone bring her back?

Nangong Zi frowned slightly, looking at the woman's dress, she was not an ordinary civilian household.

Who the hell is she? Zhongli ordered her to be brought back, but did he know her?

"Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back."

Hearing this, Nangong Zi got up instantly, naturally pulled her hair, tidied up her appearance, raised her feet to greet her, and the maidservant hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that the girl woke up, and she just passed." ”

Belch......

The footsteps paused, silent, and after a while, he spoke, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, and if you ask, you will say that I am bathing." ”

"Yes!"

*

"Girl, rest well, it's not too late to go when you're better."

"No, I'm fine......"

"The servant knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The slave and maid knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hearing a voice from the door, the room was silent for a moment.

With, a black robe, a tall and sturdy figure appeared in the house.

Zhong Lijin walked in, looked at the woman sitting on the bed with a pale face and a tense expression, smiled slightly, and said leisurely, "Miss Ling, it's been a long time!" ”

Looking at the person in front of him, Ling Yu's body stiffened slightly, and he barely pulled out a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

So the conversation......

Mama Xu lowered her head, is it an old acquaintance?

"I haven't seen you for many years, this palace thinks that you are now the princess of Yunxuan!" Zhongli said gently.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile."

"Well, looking at your current situation, my thoughts are ridiculous."

Ling Yu listened to this, lowered his head, and then got up, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for coming to the rescue." The slave is no longer in trouble, and she has taken her leave! ”

"If you want to leave, the main hall will not stay. However, there is one question that the main hall is really curious about. Zhong Li looked at Ling Yu, leaned over slightly, and said seriously, "With your loyalty to Yun Xuan, even if you can't become Princess Zhan because of your humble status, you have to be a favored aunt or a powerful steward!" How...... Look at your current wolf bèi, how can you not even get a place in the Zhan Wangfu! ”

These words are straightforward, not only harsh, but also piercing and painful.

Ling Yu smiled faintly, "The slave maid is sick and weak, and now that the prince is allowed to recuperate in the village, it is already a blessing and a deep blessing, and I am grateful." ”

"Hehe......" Zhongli smiled lightly, "I have to say that your high-sounding words have pleased this palace." ”

"The slave and maid quit ......"

To say anything more is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation.

"Ling Yu, do you know where the main hall went just now?" Seeing that Ling Yu didn't raise his head and was about to go out, Zhong Li said happily, "This hall has just gone to King Zhan's Mansion. Tell Qi Xuan about your injury and my incident. ”

Zhong Li said carefully, and unexpectedly saw Ling Yu's footsteps pause, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "It's a pity that Yun Jue unexpectedly turned away the main hall." However, for you, a clear answer is given. Qi Xuanyan: Since you are injured by the people of this hall, then I should be responsible. There is nothing else to say about it. I didn't say I'll take you home. Because you are hurt, you have to be unforgiving or something, and there is nothing at all

Not at all. When it comes to treating you, Yun Su is really generous. ”

Hearing this, Ling Yu raised his head and looked at Zhong Lijin, his face was pale, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for telling the slaves and maids this." ”

"No thanks, it's all what this temple should do." After speaking, he naturally asked, "By the way, what kind of person is the princess Yun Su married?" Tell me about it! ”

"As a slave and maid, you shouldn't talk about your master."

"You shouldn't argue about it. Actually, I just met her once. No, it's not appropriate to say that you have seen it. Yun Xuan was so tight that I could see a corner of my skirt. Others, not to mention the front face, I didn't even see a side face. So, I'm really curious! ”

Ling Yu listened, but said nothing, leaned over, and left.

Looking at Ling Yu's back, Zhong Li stroked his chin with an unpredictable expression, and murmured softly, "I heard that my Haoyue's Prince Ren and Yun Xuan's princess seem to have some profound pasts. I wonder if it's true? ”

If so, then ...... Hehe......

And Ling Yu, just so lonely and old, is she really willing? No, she definitely won't.

For Ling Yu, although he had only been in contact with it twice. But those two times are memorable. The inside of this woman is different from what she seems. So......

"This trip to Dayuan will be very interesting."

Cham Palace

"That Prince Haoyue ......"

"It's not worth asking, it's going to dirty your ears."

As soon as Rong Tian opened his mouth to ask, King Zhan replied, and that disgust was to a certain extent.

A person who will dirty Rong Lean's ears and his mouth. Disdain to mention.

Rong Tian looked at this and said nothing.

"I'm tired after walking for so long, let's go rest for a while!"

"Good!"

Rong leaned to the inner room, and King Zhan went to the study instead.

As soon as he sat down, the guards came to report, "Lord Wang, Lord Liu is here!" said that he had something important to ask to see the prince. ”

King Zhan played with the jade pendant in his hand and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

After a long time, he said lightly, "Let him in." ”

"Yes!"

The guards were ordered to leave. After a while, Liu Zheng walked in quickly, his expression was very solemn, "Xiaguan knocks to see the prince." ”

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Zheng didn't answer, but took out a letter from his arms in a trembling manner and put it in front of King Zhan tremblingly. Then, he stepped back, drooped his head, and stood still.

Although Liu Zheng didn't say anything, there was a tremor and trembling in his demeanor. It has already been explained that he is on a big deal.

King Zhan raised his eyes and looked at him, his fingers tapping on the table, not moving. It seems that the letter did not mean to be opened.

Liu Zheng had a big deal to do, and he came to him? It's quite surprising and curious.

King Zhan was like this, which made Liu Zhengzhi sweat, and his heart was pounding. Actually, he didn't know if it was right to come to King Zhan like this. But......

When the truth is laid out in front of you, when you realize that once such a result is revealed, what kind of storm will you face, and ...... He may be dying.

Liu Zheng thought of King Zhan by mistake, and in the confusion of his mind, he had not yet decided on a good plan, he was already standing here.

Liu Zheng's abnormality, the strangeness of the atmosphere in the house, Rin Wu saw it in his eyes and walked out slowly. Stay at the door!

Long......

After a long time, Liu Zheng was nervous to the extreme, and he gradually calmed down. wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head, looked at King Zhan, and said solemnly, "It's Xia Guan Wubu." Because of the importance of the matter, I lost my sense of proportion for a while! According to the statute, the lower officials may report to the palace, or to the Zongren Mansion. But......" Liu Zheng said and knelt down, "beg the prince to show the way to the lower officials." ”

Now that he is here, there is no room for him to hesitate. To ask for someone, you must have an attitude of asking for someone. Regardless of the outcome.

If the king of Zhan is willing to help, he will be grateful, and he will repay him. On the contrary, if the king of Cham stood by and watched, or sent the letter directly to the palace. That......

He was dismissed from office at the worst and dismissed from office, and at worst he was ...... He lost his life, and his wife and children were not good.

It's a gamble to come to King Zhan. Can......

In fact, even if he didn't come to King Zhan, since he knew about it, he was destined to bury a hidden danger for himself. Once it is exposed, he is not destined to be good.

Thinking about it, Liu Zheng felt bitter in his mouth. Life has many twists and turns, and it is not easy to be an official!

When Liu Zheng was full of weakness and bitterness, King Zhan slowly picked up the letter on the table.

Liu Zheng looked at this, and his heart suddenly tightened again.

The letter was opened, the letter was unfolded, and he looked at it slowly, his eyes looked down, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the expression on his face was unclear.

After reading it, the letter was put down, his eyes were pale and unwavering, and he said lightly, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng stated in a low voice......

"The case of the disappearance of hundreds of young children, around Zhou Zhuo's death, the lower officials launched an investigation. In the gradual investigation, Zhou Zhuo's fellow villager and old friend Zhou Wen became another suspect. And just when the lower officials sent people to monitor him and wanted to investigate him carefully, Zhou Wen suddenly died violently. The suddenness of the death makes people suspicious......"

"If the death of a person is suspicious, it is inevitable to investigate. No injuries were found from the scene, and the body was not scarred. However, after careful inspection, it has been determined that Zhou Wen died of poisoning. However, after questioning, according to the confessions of the Zhou family and the Zhou family, people felt that Zhou Wen was suicidal. ”

"Xia Guan has always suspected Zhou Wen or Zhou Zhuo's accomplices. The possibility of suicide in fear of sin is not impossible. But what is the use of kidnapping hundreds of young children? And why did he do it? There must always be a reason for this. In order to find out, Xia Guan asked people to search Zhou's house. Liu Zheng said, taking a deep breath and saying. Then, I found this ...... "damn thing."

King Zhan listened, and said lightly, "Who is this Sun family?" ”

"Sun Chong - a rich man outside the city. The family has thousands of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, but the son is weak, the eldest son is not pampered, and the second son is smart but weak. In order to ensure that the grandson's family does not fall, the wealth will not stop. They took risks and listened to Zhou

risk, listened to Zhou Wen's persuasion, and tried to use the child's heart and blood as medicine to extend the life of the second son. And all young children are born on the ninth day of September, which means longevity. ”

But who would have thought that Zhou Wen was actually that person's minion.

Sun Chong extinguished his conscience for the second son's life, and did not compromise his means. And in the end, it was a knife in the hands of others. Through Zhou Wen's mouth, Sun Chong's hand, intending to seek life for himself. It's just that......

Why did Zhou Wen finally disclose all this qiē? It's really as he said in his last words: I don't want to see the whole family being wiped out by that person. That's why I chose to say it, intending to save my family's life? This one is yet to be clarified! However, Liu Zheng didn't have the courage to investigate any further.

If he continues, his life will really be hit.

Zhou Wen, Zhou Zhuo, besides the two of them, who else is involved? Liu Zhengke assured that the two of them were definitely not the only ones who knew the inside story of this matter. And this, this is also the most worrying and fatal thing for him.

If there is an insider under his eyelids in the process of investigating, it is no less than a knife hanging over his head. Even if he wanted to pretend to be confused, he pretended to know nothing about the prince. The case was completely closed from Zhou Wen. Can...... Can the man spare him?

Because of the letter written by Zhou Wen, too many people saw him pick it up and read it. Whatever is written on it, he always has to say something since he reads it!

Even if you forge a letter of guilt, how can the handwriting be imitated?

Once the forgery of handwriting is revealed. Then, it directly shows that he must know something.

Thinking about it, Liu Zheng's scalp was numb!

"Liu Zheng!"

"The lower official is here!"

"You should never know about it."

When King Zhan spoke, Liu Zheng suddenly raised his head, "Lord Wang, what do you mean......"

"For the sake of the princess, she thinks a lot of attention to you. That's the end of it. "King Zhan is not salty or indifferent.

Liu Zheng listened to this, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, tears appeared in his eyes, bowed, and bowed, "The lower officials thank the prince, thank the princess." "Woooooooooo......oo I want to cry.

It's not that I'm thinking, it's that I'm already crying.

Liu Zheng left gratefully, and King Zhan looked at the letter in his hand with an unpredictable expression, "Yun Feng, you have impressed this king." ”

***

On the first day of coming to Beijing, see you in the court.

The next day, a banquet was held in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for Prince Haoyue and others.

It is a palace banquet, and the style is naturally extraordinary. In addition to the subordinates, there are also hundreds of officials and daughters. Facing the master on the main hall, he showed not only himself, but also the style of Dayuan. Anyone who comes to power can be said to have used their strength to eat.

Looking at the daughter of Da Yuan performing on stage, Zhong Liyun's competitive heart was completely aroused.

"Your Majesty, the little girl also wants to dance, I wonder if it's okay?"

"Naturally!"

Regarding Zhong Liyun's request, the emperor smiled gently and responded cheerfully.

"Emperor Xie!"

On the stage, Zhong Li danced. In the palace, Zhong Li looked at the emperor and asked lightly, "Dare to ask the emperor, when will Prince Zhan enter the palace?" ”

"King Zhan is not feeling well, I'm afraid I won't be able to come today."

Hearing this, Zhongli said regretfully, "That's it! I wanted to have a drink with King Zhan. ”

The emperor smiled, "The coming day is long." ”

"That's what the emperor said."

Gonggong Li stood aside and listened with his head down, really curious about Haoyue, the crown prince. I remember that ten years ago, Zhong Lijin, who was only eight years old, followed the Haoyue courtiers to Dayuan for the first time. At that time, he angered the king of Cham because of his insulting words. King Zhan was angry, and there was no trivial matter. As soon as he made a move, Zhong Lijin was drowned in the water, and he was almost drowned by King Zhan.

I thought that after this experience, he would know that he was afraid. When you see King Zhan again, it's time to hide. I didn't think about it......

Five years ago, he came again, but he didn't mess with anyone, and he went to provoke King Zhan. That time, the lesson was not light. If it weren't for the timely report of the guards around him, if it weren't for the dragon guard's action. That...... Zhongli is already a eunuch. Almost castrated!

And this time, I just entered Beijing......

Alas!

It's all like this, King Zhan is long, and King Zhan is short. Zhongli is really sick!

*

At the end of the palace banquet, Zhong Liyun danced out of the limelight and received countless praises. It's just that how much of this praise is true and how much it is false, everyone knows it in their hearts.

After the palace banquet, taking advantage of the weather, everyone was in a good mood and in high spirits. Start a spring hunting trip.

The crown prince did not return from the battle, and the third prince did not travel far away, and then this errand that accompanied Zhong Lijin to hunt naturally fell on the second prince Yunfeng.

"You are not in good health, just do your best to accompany the hunting etiquette. Do what you can. ”

"The retainers obeyed." Yun Feng respectfully responded.

The emperor nodded.

The man hunted, and the second prince accompanied him. And the female dependents are here......

There is no crown princess, the second princess is too unavoidable, and she will only lose Dayuan's face if she entertains her. The three imperial concubines are completely fine. Can...... Think of the Three Princes!

The queen finally decided to go out in person, she hadn't been out of the palace for a long time to see, and it was good to take a walk.

Men hunting, women watching the scenery, very good!

"Dare to ask the second prince, will King Zhan come to hunt today?"

"Uncle Huang's body has not fully recovered. So, I'm afraid I won't be able to come today. ”

"That's it! It's a shame. I'm still thinking about competing with King Zhan! ”

Yun Feng smiled and didn't speak.

Cham Palace

Prince Zhan, who is unwell, has been really busy these two days. I was busy making up for the two taels of meat that my daughter-in-law had dropped two days ago.

"Full?"

"It's over!" Rong Tian touched his bulging little belly. I feel like I'm going to walk against the wall.

"It's not promising!" King Zhan disliked.

"You said I should finish it."

"Except for food, why haven't I seen you listen to this king so much?"

Listen to the words and purse your lips and smile.

"Master!"

King Zhan turned his head, glanced at Rin Wu, and said with Rong Rong, "Go and change your clothes, and this king will take you to eat in a while." ”

"Good!"

In response, King Zhan got up and walked out.

Rin Wu took a step forward and reported, "Master, I just received the news that Ling Yu has just been named the county lord by the emperor because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, and under the strong promotion of Prince Haoyue. ”

When King Zhan heard this, he smiled faintly, "Excellent!" ”

King Zhan dropped two words, turned around and walked into the house, and said unhurriedly, "Rong Jiu, how about this king take you fishing today?" ”

"Good!" The one that answered was crisp and loud.

King Zhan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, does he still like fishing?

"Finches, go to the kitchen and bring seasoning. After a while, the prince caught fish, and we grilled and ate it. ”

"Yes!"

King of Zhan: ......

It's not that I like fishing, I just like to eat fish.
