Songjiang Mansion, in front of the gate of Xu's house.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," these were the words that Xu Jie knelt in front of Zhu Yijun and said in a respectful and surprised tone.

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "This is what Xu Jie's family said when they knelt down to worship Zhu Yijun after hearing Xu Jie's words.

"Pavilion elder excuse me, get up quickly," Zhu Yijun walked in front of Xu Jie with a sad look on his face, not a false trust, but directly helped Xu Jie up with his own hands, Zhang Fan on the side found that Xu Jie's face had some excited expressions, but he didn't know whether Xu Jie's excitement was because of a good thing or a bad thing.

Xu Jie stood up, calmed down the excitement in his heart, but didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Yijun standing in front of him.

Zhu Yijun was stared at by him with a chill down his spine, hurriedly avoided Xu Jie's eyes, and said to the people of the Xu family kneeling in front of him: "You guys should also get up,"

"Your Highness Xie," everyone in the Xu family said in unison.

Seeing that there was nothing to distract Xu Jie's attention, plus Zhu Yijun could feel that Zhang Fan behind him was "staring" at him, Zhu Yijun was really a little unbearable, and said: "Pavilion ...... old man"

"Your Highness," Xu Jie saluted and said, "This is not the place to speak, and it is not too late to ask His Highness and Master Zhang to enter the house with the old man," Xu Jie made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Yijun.

Seeing Zhu Yijun's expression as if he was about to go to the execution ground, Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "What Elder Ge said is right, this is not the place to speak," After speaking, he looked at Zhu Yijun with that threatening look, and from time to time he shook the sword spike of the sword in his hand, and Zhu Yijun's little face was even more worried, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want his ass to be affected, so he had to take the lead and walked in.

Xu Jie, the sword that Zhang Fan was holding, naturally saw it, but just now after all, in front of Zhu Yijun, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't say anything, but now, when Zhang Fan walked by him, the old Xu Ge, who was known for his stubbornness and smoothness, actually winked at Zhang Fan, which made Zhang Fan never expect it.

Entering the hall of the Xu Mansion, Xu Jie insisted that Zhu Yijun sit on the main seat that could reach his waist, and he hurriedly asked the family to pour tea and deliver water.

"Your Highness, why did you come out of the palace," Xu Jie asked as he looked at Zhu Yijun's face.

Zhu Yijun knew that things were going to happen, and sure enough, Xu Jie asked so, and he didn't know how to answer at all, could it be that he told him that he was greedy for fun, and even said that he was tired of the kind of days in the palace, and wanted to release the true ...... in his heart This one...... Desire, unrestrained desire, it is better to simply kill him.

"I ...... The palace was discussed with his father, and his father asked him to come to see the land south of the Yangtze River, but his father was busy with government affairs and couldn't come together," Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and only had this rhetoric, "Without the consent of my father, how could this palace go out of the palace without permission, presumably the elder also saw the guards outside the palace, where are not all Taifu's subordinates, and there are also those sent by the father to protect the palace,"

"Although His Royal Highness is the crown prince, he has not yet reached the crown ceremony, and it is not up to His Majesty to travel alone," Xu Jie naturally knew that Longqing's ears were soft, but he knew more, "The old man believes that His Royal Highness's trip to Jiangnan this time must have been approved by the queen mother and the concubine mother,"

This sentence hit Zhu Yijun's death hole at once, and he went down, but he didn't want Xu Jie to see that his face was already red, and he muttered a little: "This ...... Sort of," After saying this, Zhu Yijun simply regretted dying, he was not so pure that he couldn't tolerate his lies, but he was afraid of ......

"Although the old man has returned to his hometown now, but after all, the old man has been the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty, and it is the duty of the old man to support His Majesty and care for His Royal Highness, so the old man will write a letter to Ju Zheng, and ask him to wait for the old man to tell the emperor, the queen and the concubine Niangniang, Your Highness is all right here," Xu Jie's words said with a flat face.

Sure enough, what are you afraid of, Zhu Yijun knows that something bad is going to happen when he hears him say this, in case Xu Jie really wrote this letter, not to mention that his father and queen Chen can tolerate themselves, but his very strict mother Li Guifei is determined to spare herself, at least it is inevitable to be hit by the board, Zhu Yijun has never been beaten by the board since he was a child, but he has seen a lot, those people are not all like killing pigs, thinking of this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but fidget again, Slowly shake your ass in the chair.

"Elder Ge, your old man really cares about the court and the emperor," Zhang Fan didn't intend to let Zhu Yijun continue to be embarrassed, and said, "Just like you said, although Elder Ge has already become a minister, he is also the person who has been the first assistant of the cabinet on the spot," After speaking, Zhang Fan also looked at Xu Jie provocatively.

Xu Jie naturally knew what he meant, he let out a long sigh and said, "Yuande, you don't have to mock the old man, the old man can hear what you mean,"

"Really, Ge Lao really has great wisdom," Zhang Fan continued to mock him as if he hadn't heard his words, and then changed his words and said quite sternly, "Since Ge Lao knows what Zhang Mou meant, and he also knows that he cares about His Highness's nonsense behavior, why don't you think about it for the emperor and the world?"

Zhu Yijun didn't want to say anything to let Xu Jie's mind make up his mind, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said: "Pavilion Elder, this palace knows that Pavilion Elder must have been thinking about his father and emperor in his heart, and after this incident, this palace will definitely return to the palace to let his father and mother bear the guilt, but before he also asked Ge Lao to help his father remove the high arch."

"Gao Gong not only pulls the party into a faction, many officials in the court have no gap with him, as long as he doesn't look down on him has been degraded by him, today's Gao Gong is domineering, and gradually has the trend of being strict in the past, and now he is openly contemptuous of his father in front of the ministers in the court, which ...... The father is also a good person, and he was used to it, and he originally pulled it down and cut it down directly with his father's identity, but the father wanted to get an ironclad evidence, even if the palace was here to beg the elders, help the father and the emperor,"

Zhang Fan listened to his words, and couldn't help but secretly praise Zhu Yijun for being really smart, first of all, he took advance as retreat, and avoided the danger of pain in his buttocks; Then it evokes Xu Jie's loyalty to the imperial court, or more precisely, to the imperial family; Finally, and the most powerful part, he mentioned Yan Song, the biggest enemy that Xu Jie had endured for many years in order to bring him down, and even paid for his granddaughter's happiness in his life.

Sure enough, Xu Jie couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up and said: "Your Highness, it was the old minister's angry words before, although the old minister has been to the minister for many days, but there has always been a knot in his heart, but now it is unraveled, no matter what His Majesty is, His Majesty is always His Majesty, and today's saint is even more wise and benevolent, the old minister was sorry for Your Majesty before," said Xu Jie, and actually cried.

Looking at the tearful Xu Jie, Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun really didn't know what to say.

However, Xu Jie didn't embarrass them, and soon stopped crying, and said: "The old minister now thinks that His Majesty will be insulted like this, all because the old minister is arrogant and arrogant, and let the high arch take advantage of the loophole, the old minister...... The old minister really didn't come to live, "This time Xu Jie was even more powerful, knelt directly on the ground, bowed three times to the north, and cried bitterly.

Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun were taken aback by him, and hurriedly went up to help Xu Jie.

Xu Jie finally sat back on the chair, wiped away his tears with his cuffs, and continued in a somewhat gritted tone: "Gao Gong, the old minister originally thought that he just wanted to fight the old minister alone, but how do you know that this person is so arrogant, does he think that no one can cure him in my Ming Dynasty, and now he dares to insult the saint, it is simply lawless,"

Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun were in a cold sweat when they heard this, and they both thought in their hearts: "Isn't this just talking about himself?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the old minister will definitely remove the heart of the high arch for the saint," Xu Jie said with a resolute face.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he finally put his mind at ease: "The elder really understands the righteousness,"

"Your Highness has complimented you," Xu Jie said, "but the old minister will still ask the director to send a message to His Majesty, the Empress and the noble concubine, saying that His Highness is all right here,"

Zhu Yijun's little face, which had just improved, wrinkled again.

==========================================================

Regardless of the fact that Zhu Yijun in the Xu Mansion is worried that his butt is about to hurt, in Suzhou Mansion, Zhang Fan's temporary residence, another good show is being staged in the Humble Administrator's Garden.

Knowing that Zhang Fan and others have important things to do when they go to Songjiang, Luo Linger is a woman who knows the severity and knows when to pester Zhang Fan and when not to; And Yingyue saw that Luo Ling'er didn't want to follow, so she stayed, and she still hoped so.

As soon as Zhang Fan and the others left, Yingyue found a factory guard and asked him what he asked Liang Chao to do a few days ago, and the factory guard had been a little weird when he spoke to Yingyue, but fortunately, Yingyue had been paying attention to his words and didn't find it, and when the person went out, he couldn't help but look at the sky, and said to himself: "Woman, it turns out that he has a lot of troubles as an adult, or this family business that my father has set for me since I was a child, at least this mother-in-law is not making trouble," After speaking, he shook his head and left.

Yingyue naturally didn't hear what he said, but now she was thinking about what the man said just now, just thinking about it, Yingyue's previous expression with resentment gradually turned into doubt, and with pity, or rather, sympathy.

Luo Linger sat alone in front of the bronze mirror in her room, looking at herself in the mirror, a comb in her hand unconsciously slipped between her black hair, looking at her face in the mirror, Luo Linger couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

In this era, what is the use of a woman being beautiful, the more beautiful a woman, the sadder her life, Luo Ling'er, who was once in the red dust, has seen too much, if she was born in a rich and noble family, it would be better, even if you meet a man who is rich and noble, at least you can spend your life in false happiness; And if he was born in a poor family, there is no need for others to say it, Luo Linger has tasted countless bitterness; In the end, it is also Luo Ling'er's hearsay, if it is a beautiful woman born in a princely and noble family, it is even worse than that.

Luo Ling'er is not small now, although she is still beautiful and charming, but at such an age, even if Liu Shan didn't buy her, the bustard's mother in the building would not let her continue to occupy the top position, I think at the beginning, Luo Ling'er was also a famous pity on the Qinhuai River, and there were countless merry sons who flocked to her, Luo Ling'er really made a lot of money at the beginning, but she spent it for her younger brother's medical treatment.

Thinking of her younger brother, Luo Linger thought of her family again, but in her heart, except for her younger brothers and sisters who could bring her some laughter, everything else was pain.

Luo Ling'er's mother died after giving birth to her younger brother and sister, but her father was a bad gambler, he didn't ask anything, there was originally a shop in the family, and his life was quite good when he was a child, but when Luo Linger was ten years old, his father, who was addicted to gambling all day long, lost all his family property, including his own three children.

Luo Linger and her sister were naturally sold into the building, and her younger brother was too young to have anyone to ask for it, so he still lived with his father, and the bustard in the building saw that Luo Linger was a beautiful embryo, and did not do the kind of crazy thing that immediately let her pick up customers, but let people teach well, including reading and reading and reading and playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for these things, although Luo Linger yearned, but she was not happy, she knew that these were just bustards trying to find a way to raise her price, However, because the bustard promised to raise her sister, she did not object, and agreed very obediently.

In the twenty-eighth year, Luo Ling'er did cause a sensation when she first appeared in the flower shop on the Qinhuai River, and she was even more flocking to her.

During that time, Luo Linger did feel that it was not bad to live her life like this, until four years later, when the old bustard planned to "marry" her, the so-called "marriage" was to open the door to welcome guests, after that night, Luo Linger's dream that did not exist at all was completely shattered, and then she was still the most dazzling woman on the Qinhuai River, but she was not high.

After she had some money, she tried to get her younger siblings out, because her younger brother had been very ill since he was a child, and all the money that Luo Linger had played on the scene was filled in, and by the time her brother was well, she was no longer the cash cow in the bustard's heart, and she herself had no money to redeem herself.

At this moment, Liu Shan appeared, this beautiful son wanted to redeem Luo Ling'er in front of her, and he was very generous, Luo Ling'er felt at that moment that she was about to get out of the sea of suffering, she never had too many illusions, just a small expectation, and now the hope that appeared in front of her was much better than what she wanted, how could she not be happy.

But when she knew that Liu Shan was a eunuch, and the reason for buying her was to ask her to sleep with those officials, Luo Linger completely collapsed, she felt that she might as well be brought to the brothel, she would rather be a ** than live in such humiliation, and she was disheartened She even thought of seeking death to get rid of it, but Liu Shan was prepared, he had already arrested Luo Linger's younger brothers and sisters, in order to blackmail Luo Linger and force her to comply.

The past few months have been like years for Luo Ling'er, if it weren't for the fact that she still cares about her relatives in her heart, she would have collapsed a long time ago.

Until now, she still has to listen to Liu Shan's words when she lives in this humble administrator's garden, originally he thought that this minister from the imperial court was just a lascivious person like a bad old man, but since she saw Zhang Fan in Liu Shan's house, Luo Linger couldn't help but think about Zhang Fan in her heart, but she was a little scared, afraid that Zhang Fan was also a man who didn't treat women as people like Liu Shan.

She just carried out Liu Shan's orders, currying favor with Zhang Fan and tempting Zhang Fan, and gradually, Luo Linger discovered Zhang Fan's difference, although this noble minister was also as lustful as other men, and was often fascinated by himself, but he was not the kind of person who thought by the lower half of his body, Luo Linger even knew that Zhang Fan cared about women's feelings very much, which can be seen from how Zhang Fan treated Luo Ling'er, Luo Ling'er came out of that sad environment, During this time, she even liked the work of molesting Zhang Fan.

It wasn't until she heard from Yingyue's mouth that Zhang Fan's wife and their unborn child, maybe it was really a woman's jealousy, Luo Ling'er was jealous for the first time in her heart, she was jealous of the woman named Ru Xue, who had a good family background, a life without humiliation, and a beautiful future; She was jealous that Ru Xue could have such an outstanding man as her husband, and from Zhang Fan's frequent thoughts about Ru Xue, she could see how much Zhang Fan loved Ru Xue; Even Yingyue, who used to be dismissive, is now very jealous.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how humiliating and sad things are, Luo Linger has never complained, she has always thought that this may be something she did wrong in her previous life, and God punished her in this life, but after so many years and so many things, Luo Linger felt that she was so tired and unfair for the first time.

Why can that woman named Ru Xue get everything she wants, a happy family, a loving husband, and even her own children, while she has to succumb to a eunuch and watch her sister go her own way again and be powerless; His younger brother is always threatened by Liu Shan's perverted mind that makes him inhumane; And herself, she herself is not even as good as the ugliest ** in a brothel, she doesn't even have the opportunity to choose a benefactor, and she goes on like this for the rest of her life.

So, Luo Linger began to take the initiative, and she tried her best to show that maybe it was her last beauty, maybe this was a woman's struggle.

Looking at herself who was still beautiful in the mirror, Luo Linger couldn't help but smile self-deprecating again, and couldn't help but say in her heart: "God may be blind and gave me such a look, I should be the ugliest woman in the world,"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Luo Ling'er opened the door, but saw Yingyue, who had always hated herself, standing at the door, with a smile on her face.
