Yan Zhenrui returned to the court and was ordered by Emperor Jing to thoroughly investigate the case of destroying the door.

He went out early and returned late, wearing the stars and the moon, very busy, and Zhou Zhiqing almost didn't see him. Fortunately, she is not as free as before, guarding Brother Xu'er, but she is so tight that she doesn't know anything about the tragedy in the capital, and she didn't think about it until she knew that Yan Zhenjue died violently.

Zhou Zhiqing's brain is not so good, but he also feels that this is not right. She wanted to ask Yan Zhenrui, but he was so busy that he couldn't even catch a shadow, and Zhou Zhiqing could only think about it.

It was after she hesitated for a few days that the case of destroying the door had an eyebrow, and it completely turned around, and it was directly pushed to the third prince, Yan Zhenhuang.

Yan Zhenjue's violent death was an unintentional mistake, but Yan Zhenhuang has conclusive evidence. He got the news, and instead of kowtowing in front of the palace like Yan Zhenjue, he cleared himself, but escaped from the capital overnight.

Emperor Jing was furious: Do you still need to be judged? It must have been him, and the weak-hearted man ran away when he heard the slightest rumor.

Thinking that his sons had even distorted their humanity for the sake of this seat under their buttocks, Emperor Jing was so angry that he didn't know what to do.

Although Yan Zhenhuang ran away, his wife and concubines and children were still there, Yan Zhenjue personally led people to raid the palace, more than 300 people, all of whom were thrown into prison and beheaded on a certain day.

When Zhou Zhiqing heard the news, she felt that it was cold from the soles of her feet to her brain, and she sat for a long time before she stood up and went to the door.

Brother Xu was accompanied by a few little maids playing hide and seek, and his small body ran around clumsily, like a toddler duck. How cute you look.

The sun was warm, but Zhou Zhiqing had a splitting headache.

She heard the screams from one to the other, from far to near, and she wondered with annoyance, what are they shouting one by one? There are no rules for good students. But their frightened faces kept enlarging in front of their eyes, and even became clearer and clearer, and it was not until she was caught that she realized that their horror was directed at her.

And what? She didn't even realize it, she was just dizzy.

Wait until Zhou Zhi comes to her senses. It was dark. She faintly heard the crying and couldn't help but want to sit up. How could she bear the soreness all over, she only made a slight sound.

His hand was immediately clenched, and Yan Zhenrui's voice sounded in his ears: "Are you awake?" ”

Zhou Zhiqing saw it clearly. It turned out that he had been sitting on the edge of the bed all the time. Zhou Zhiqing looked at his tired face in a daze. In a trance, he was still not the same person he used to be.

Or or. He always was, she just didn't understand it.

Zhou Zhiqing reluctantly smiled at him and said, "Are you finally willing to come back?" ”

Yan Zhenrui's face changed.

Zhou Zhiqing didn't want to hear any of his answers. He only stroked his forehead and said, "I'm hungry." ”

Yan Zhenrui hurriedly said: "I asked someone to set up dinner, but I didn't eat either, so I'll use it with you." ”

Zhou Zhiqing couldn't help but look at him, and had the heart to ask him what he had been busy with recently, and think about it. She didn't have much of an appetite, so she just asked the kitchen to make a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

Yan Zhenrui said that he was hungry, but in fact, he didn't have much appetite, Zhou Zhiqing didn't like to put any plates and bowls, so he didn't put them, as long as he had a bowl of shredded meat noodles like her.

The two sat opposite each other, but they were just pinching their chopsticks, and neither of them moved. Zhou Zhiqing smiled and said, "What is this for?" I don't have an appetite, and the prince doesn't have an appetite either? ”

Yan Zhenrui shook his head and said, "Zhiqing, you ......"

Zhou Zhiqing said casually: "I'm fine, but I suddenly fainted." Who I just heard crying? ”

Yan Zhenrui said with a cold face: "They didn't serve well, I asked someone to kick them out." ”

Zhou Zhiqing frowned and said, "What does it have to do with them?" He sighed lightly and said, "That's it, Hengzhi is your home, you are the head of the family, and naturally it is how you decide what to do." ”

Yan Zhenrui flicked his chopsticks and said, "How do you speak?" What do you mean that this is my home, that I am the head of the family, so who are you? ”

Zhou Zhiqing was not afraid, only stirred the noodles in the white porcelain bowl, and said listlessly: "What I hope for is different from what the prince hopes for after all." ”

"You ......" Yan Zhenrui had the intention to smash the noodle bowl on the table, it can be seen that Zhou Zhiqing was eating noodles in small sips, he couldn't help it in the end, he didn't want to quarrel with her when she was eating, so he could only hold back. Zhou Zhiqing raised her eyes and looked over, and said suspiciously: "Isn't the prince hungry?" ”

How is he not hungry? But she was full of anger.

Zhou Zhiqing also put the bowl, her weak gaze was like a thin rain, falling on Yan Zhenrui's face, with a little gentleness, she sighed and said, "Lord Wang, what are you busy with these days?" ”

Yan Zhenrui was stunned, and suddenly understood what Zhou Zhiqing was worried about, his eyes were solemn, and he said: "What I do is for you and me, as well as Brother Xu." I will never let you get into trouble again, and I will not allow anyone to force me to make a decision. ”

Zhou Zhiqing lowered her eyes, staring at the edge of the white porcelain bowl, where there was swaying light and shadow, and she said softly: "I miss my father." ”

Yan Zhenrui said: "In a few days, I will bring them all back." ”

Zhou Zhiqing just shook his head, raised his eyes to look at him and said, "I can understand the prince, but ...... I can't face the innocent souls who died in vain. ”

Back then, Zhou Pin was a cool official, and I don't know how many unjust cases were created and how many innocent people and children were slaughtered. She never felt how hateful he was, but it wasn't until he was unloaded and killed by Emperor Jing that she would become an official slave that she understood that maybe there was indeed karma and retribution in this world, not necessarily on the initiators, but on their children and dearest relatives.

She didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen to Xu Ge'er again.

If it weren't for her fate of being an official slave because she evaded punishment, she would not have been given to Yan Zhenrui. During the years of entanglement with him, she didn't feel how happy or happy she was.

If you ask her if she regrets it, she will definitely regret it.

She couldn't help but think that if she had known that Yan Zhenrui would have such a cruel idea of killing to stop killing, she would definitely do her best to stop him. However, it may not be able to stop it, right? It's better to leave the stage here to himself.

"I don't have any big ambitions, I'm just a woman who likes freedom, and I'd rather just live a dull but comfortable life. Lord, don't ......"

"Nonsense." Yan Zhenrui brutally interrupted Zhou Zhiqing: "Who am I for?" Is it for myself? Not for the freedom you want? If I don't stand in a high position and always have a knife hanging over my head, then not only you and me, but also Brother Xu, my life will always be threatened. Becoming a king or defeating a king, no one in a position has no blood debt in his hands, what are you afraid of? There is retribution, and I will bear it. The way of bullshit is not the same, you are destined to be tied to life and death with me in this life, the next life, and the next life. (To be continued......)
