Perhaps the light in the hall was dim, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only looked at me in a daze but did not make any further moves, and I was hesitating how to phrase it so as not to frighten him, when I heard another voice from the bed.

Zhu Zhanji was surprised: "It's you!"

Although there was surprise but no panic in my voice, I was a little relieved, and nodded hurriedly, "It's me, it's an honor that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still recognizes me!"

"How did you get in?" Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for me to answer after asking, and immediately said, "They told you my identity?"

I didn't expect his mind to turn so quickly, and in an instant, he deduced the process of my appearance here, I secretly admired, but shook my head and said: "Although I used some means, but the person sent by His Highness did not tell His Highness's identity, the reason why I guessed His Highness's identity was because of the token last night and the word His Highness that they inadvertently mentioned when they touched it."

There's no way, who let us be kind-hearted, I really don't want to kill those unlucky people because of my decision to enter the palace.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was silent and said, "You killed them?"

I reacted for a moment before I realized that he was asking those unlucky people, but I was a little surprised by his question, and I continued to shake my head and said, "Your Highness sent them only for wealth but not for life, why should I kill them?"

After listening to my words, Zhu Zhanji glanced at the palace people who were knocked out by me, and said: "Since you dare to stand here so calmly and talk to this palace, it seems that it is useless for this palace to shout."

I think the four words of calm and composure are more appropriate for him.

From the time he saw me to the present, he was a little surprised, but he didn't have any emotions such as panic, which is really admirable.

Zhu Zhanji stared at me silently for a moment, and then spoke again, but there was a bit of obvious coldness in his voice, "You are a person sent by King Han?"

Who?King Han?I can't keep up with his leapfrog thinking, why did I suddenly get involved with his failed careerist second uncle?

I shook my head, "I don't know King Han"

"And what are you doing here, aren't you here to kill me?"

Although I don't know why he suddenly came to such a conclusion, I think this misunderstanding should be solved immediately, so I pulled a gentle smile at the corner of my mouth and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, I have taken the risk of coming here, that is, not to kill Your Highness, nor will I hurt Your Highness in the slightest, I just have a question I want to ask Your Highness."

Seeing that I had a good attitude and did not make any further moves, Zhu Zhanji's voice was no longer as cold as just now, "What do you want to ask?"

"Why is Your Highness so interested in the ring on my hand?" I said, holding up the ring on my hand and showing it to him.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the ring on my hand and then moved his gaze to my face, and said with some surprise: "You just want to ask this night to break into the palace city?"

No wonder he was surprised, even in the era I lived in, breaking into the Forbidden City in the middle of the night was also subject to administrative detention, not to mention that at this time when the imperial power was strict, breaking into the Forbidden Palace at night would definitely be to lose your head, and it was of course absolutely not worth it to lose your head in order to ask a question.

But although I don't think it's worth it, I'm still here, so I have to ask this question clearly, so I nodded and said, "Yes, I did come to ask about it, because in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not just because he likes this ring, there must be some other reason for it?"

Zhu Zhanji did not immediately solve my doubts, but got off the bed and walked slowly towards me.

At this moment, I admired the courage of this young prince even more, although I said that I would not hurt him, and also expressed my intention. But to him, I was still a stranger of unknown origin who could turn his face at any moment, and he dared to approach me so defenseless.

After standing two steps away from me, Zhu Zhanji looked at me, and the corners of his lips hooked a faint smile and said, "What if this palace is just because I fell in love with your ring?!"

Looking at the faint smile on his face, I slowly shook my head, "Your Highness won't, how could Your Highness be lenient and reasonable, how could he do anything to take it by force?!"

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Listening to your words, it seems that I know the palace very well."

I said in my heart that you are right, although I dare not say that I know you very well, but I also have some understanding. As far as I know, in addition to the name of the Cricket Emperor that Ye Shi gave him because of his special personal interests and hobbies, the evaluation of him in the official history is still very positive: talented, respectful, diligent and compassionate, cautious in employing people, good at accepting advice, and so on.

Such a person who can be called the ruler of the world, in my opinion, would not do anything to take it by force, otherwise he would have done it directly in the restaurant last night.

I looked at him and said as sincerely as I could, "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I'm really just here to ask for an answer."

After listening to my words, Zhu Zhanji was very disappreciative and said: "Bengong Shicai has already told you the answer."

I choked and said helplessly: "But what His Highness told me is not the true answer!"

"What this palace says is true," Zhu Zhanji said, his eyes jumped over me and looked outside, and said: "It's dawning soon, if you don't want to be caught and punished, this palace suggests that you leave immediately!"

Although he was not prepared to hold me accountable for breaking into the Forbidden Palace at night, which made me admire his magnanimity even more, but his refusal to tell me the real reason also disappointed and annoyed me.

If I couldn't know the real reason, then wouldn't my night be in vain?

I looked at him a little angrily, I can neither beat nor scold this person, I really don't know what to do.

"Don't you want to leave, the palace will have to check the progress of the imperial city's renovation in a while, but I don't have time to continue to spend it here with you."

Listening to his words, I frowned and glanced at him, and then remembered the reason why he was in Nanjing City at this time. He was sent by his father to renovate the imperial city and prepare for the relocation of the capital back to Nanjing.

It's a pity that his job as an overseer is destined to be in vain, because his father died before he could move the capital.

When I think of this, my heart moves, and I am reminded of a mysterious case in history.

I looked at him quietly and said, "Your Highness, how about I make a deal with you?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows when he heard my words, and said with a smile: "Deal? Except for your ring, this palace can't see that there is anything else on you that is worth trading in this palace!"

Although you are rich all over the world, this is too unkind to say, I secretly rolled my eyes in my heart, if you knew the news I am about to tell you, you would not think so!

So I said lightly: "I haven't said my chips yet, how can Your Highness conclude that it is not worth it!"

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at me with a smile and said, "Then the palace will listen to what chips you still have."

I smiled slightly, stared at him and said, "My chips are a piece of news, a piece of news about the capital."

As I expected, when he heard the word "capital", the crown prince's face finally changed.

Zhu Zhanji looked at me sharply, "What information is it in the capital?!"

Although I couldn't help but be a little nervous under such a sharp gaze, whether I can get the answer I want to know depends on my next performance!

So I pretended to be indifferent and said, "As long as Your Highness tells me the real reason why I am interested in this ring, I will tell Your Highness what I know."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's expression became a little colder, and the gaze that fell on me became even sharper, and I managed to keep an indifferent look on my face and look at him.

Just when I was about to lose from this battle of eyes, Zhu Zhanji finally spoke, "The reason why Bengong is interested in your ring is because Bengong has seen this ring in an ancient book."

"Ancient books?" I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of ancient books? Where is this ancient book now? Is there an introduction to this ring?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at me and said coldly: "If it hadn't been destroyed, this ancient book should still be in Qingshou Temple."

"Qingshou Temple?" I was a little surprised, I had passed by this place many times, of course, when I passed by, I could no longer see the once glorious and beautiful Qingshou Temple Twin Towers. However, I still know something about this ancient temple, after all, this ancient temple once lived a rewriter of history.

"As for the introduction of the ring in the ancient books, Bengong can't remember it clearly" Zhu Zhanji stared at me with deep eyes after speaking: "Bengong has already told you the answer, is it time to tell you that news of yours!"

Looking at the cold-looking and deep-eyed young man in front of me, I was reminded of all the inferential speculations about the cause of his father's death in history.

Although I don't know which of those inferences and speculations is the historical truth, these are not things that I can change or influence, I can only tell him what I know, "Your father is very sick"

After listening to my words, Zhu Zhanji's eyes were full of shock, he looked at me and said coldly: "Who are you?!"

I calmly met his gaze and said calmly: "Your Highness, as long as you know that I am a person who will not hurt you," I turned around and walked out of the hall.

Although what Zhu Zhanji just said did not completely solve the doubts in my heart, I knew that I would not be able to ask anything from him, so it was better to leave here first and then make plans.

The crown prince was still staring at me, but he didn't stop me until I reached the outside of the dormitory, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I left the dormitory, I withdrew the barrier and used magic to hide my form again.

It was already bright outside, and the palace people began to move around in an orderly manner, leaving Ciqing Palace, looking for a place where no one was, I hurriedly asked Xue'er: "Do you feel something?"

Xue'er frowned and shook her head, "I can clearly feel its spiritual power, but I just can't find where it is."

I'm a little disappointed, but if I can't find it, I can't find it, and it doesn't have much to do with me anyway.

"It's okay, even if it has strong spiritual power, it has nothing to do with us, let's get out of the palace first"

Xue'er nodded, and I hurriedly pulled her into hiding and walked out of the palace along the way she came.

Although I had thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely take action, I did not expect that his actions would be so swift and powerful.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jinyiwei and Nanjing Yingtianfu dispatched at the same time to check the size of the inns in the city one by one, and even the four gates and wharves in the city were added to the Jinyi guard duty to investigate, the official statement is to track down two absconding criminals, and each team of Jinyi guards also has a picture in their hands.

Two days ago, I went to look at the portrait in obscurity, and the painting was not satisfactory.

However, even though they have portraits of me and Cher, it is not so easy to find me and Cher!

Because they still think it's too simple for me!
