When Master Zuo Gu took Ke Qu'er away, in Han Jian's heart, this woman was already on a par with the old witch who ruined the happiness of young people.

Han Jian watched Ke Qu'er being held hostage by the Zuo Gu Master, leaving behind that heartbroken and reluctant look, hoping that his martial arts were invincible in the world, and went up to snatch Ke Qu'er back. But he still has self-knowledge, and he can only sigh with admiration.

Because Han Jian did not order the pursuit, Zuo Gu Shangren took Ke Qu'er away lightly. Han Jian stood in the distance, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knew that as long as Ke Qu'er's heart knot was untied, this little girl would still find a chance to come back to meet him sooner or later, and she would still throw herself into his arms.

"Young Boy ......"

Seeing that the assassin had already walked away, the guards came over to salute and ask Han Jian for instructions on his next move.

Han Jian retracted his spirit and strode in the direction of the tent of the envoy of Southern Qi.

When he arrived at the camp of the envoys of the Southern Qi Dynasty, he saw Zhu Tongjing with a gray face and was wiping the dust on his face with a towel.

"Is there a big problem with Master Zhu?" Han Jian looked at Zhu Tongjing and asked coldly.

Zhu Tongjing said with a smile: "King Tuodong, your Hongfu, this envoy has saved his life." King Dong, dare to ask, who came to assassinate him today, but the party is chaotic? ”

"Why does Master Zhu knowingly ask?"

"It's just strange below, these reckless people are also the enemies of the Wei Dynasty, how can they ...... The king of the east seems to be very familiar with him, I heard that the king of the east still intends to let them go just now? Zhu Tongjing squinted his eyes and said with a strange expression.

Han Jian didn't want to explain anything to Zhu Tongjing. He said coldly: "Master Zhu still takes care of his own affairs. Now that there is a chaotic party that wants to be unfavorable to Master Zhu, this way back to the south, Master Zhu take care. ”

"The East King also takes care." Zhu Tongjing remembered the critical moment of escaping for his life just now, if it weren't for Han Jian's "sacrificing his life to save him", he might have been a ghost under the sword, and he couldn't help but feel some palpitations.

Han Jian turned around and went outside the tent, signaling to leave some men to continue to escort Zhu Tongjing out of the Jiangdu territory. At the same time, it was also pointed out that as long as Zhu Tongjing left the last town in Jiangdu, his life and death had nothing to do with Jiangdu. Even if Zhu Tongjing died in the border wilderness. That's his own bad luck.

After explaining the matter, Han Jian hurriedly returned to Jiangdu. By the time Han Jian returned to Dongwangfu, it was already the middle of the night.

Han Songshi was still waiting for Han Jian to come back.

"Jian'er, you are in such a hurry to get out of the city. But what happened outside the city? "Han Song saw Han Jian. I saw Han Fitness dirty again, as if there was a vicious fight. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Han Jian roughly said Ke Qu'er's matter, and Han Songshi nodded slightly and said, "As long as Jian'er, don't blame Erniang." ”

Han Jian knew that everything Han Song did was for the sake of the Eastern Palace, although Han Song was still a little pedantic occasionally. has a preconceived notion of hierarchy, but he is also sincere to help him. There's nothing to be surprised about either.

"Erniang, it's okay, I'll go back to the room first." Han Jian thought about the wife in the room, so he had to go back early.

"Jian'er, seeing that the ten-day deadline is approaching, why aren't you in a hurry? Or do you already have a plan, even if Your Majesty doesn't come back, you know what to do? Han Song said with some concern.

Han Jian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There are some things that can't be forced, even if Your Majesty doesn't return, Jiangdu will always be Jiangdu." ”

Han Songshi was slightly stunned, and after thinking about Han Jian's words, she heard that Han Jian's words were a little perfunctory. But in the current situation, she really can't do anything better.

"Jian'er, go back first, don't let Xin'er wait. I'll send you a letter to Sanniang, and ask her to step up her manpower and look for the surrounding Taoist temples, and there should be news. ”

Han Jian nodded slightly and went back to the room directly.

Originally, Han Jian thought that he hadn't come back very late, Gu Xin'er and Wen'er had already slept, and when they arrived in the inner courtyard, they saw the maid on duty at night and knew that the second daughter was still not sleeping and waiting for him.

Han Jian went to the outside of his bedroom, there was still a light inside, and when he opened the window, he saw Wen'er yawning constantly, obviously very sleepy. And Gu Xin'er is writing and drawing.

Han Jian opened the door, and Wen'er exclaimed in surprise: "The young master is finally back!" ”

As he spoke, he jumped over and pulled Han Jian's arm, as if he had recovered from life. Gu Xin'er also came over, Tingting gave a salute, and helped Han Jian untie his coat.

"Xin'er, why don't you sleep yet? It's so late, after all, I have some business to pester. Han Jian said apologetically.

Gu Xin'er smiled, and Wen'er next to her interjected: "Sister Xin'er said that since the young master will come back today, we can't sleep in advance, this is a woman's ......"

Han Jian took Gu Xin'er's hand, and in addition to apology, there was also a warmth in his heart.

With such a wife, Han Jian also knew that he shouldn't have any more evil thoughts, but after all, he couldn't help but think about other women. It made him feel guilty.

Han Jian picked up Gu Xin'er, Gu Xin'er was attacked like this, and exclaimed, but Han Jian couldn't help but carry her to the bed. Wen'er next to her clapped her hands happily, but Han Jian pointed to the window, Wen'er stuck out her tongue, knowing that to do "big things", she had to avoid people's eyes and ears, so she hurriedly went over to close the window, and when she closed the window, she also told the maids on night outside to go back to rest, and they were not allowed to get too close.

When she came back, Han Jian was already entangled with Gu Xin'er. Not to be outdone, Wen'er undressed and went to bed.

……

……

Three days have passed in a flash.

Soon the original 10-day deadline was reached. On the morning of this day, as soon as Han Jian got up, a guard came to report that the officials of the imperial court had been gathering in the mansion in the east of the city before dawn, meaning to see the empress come out to meet the courtiers.

"Jian'er, your Sanniang only wrote yesterday, saying that there is no news about His Majesty, it seems that ...... You can only cope with it on your own. Han Song personally came to the inner courtyard to see Han Jian and said to Han Jian worriedly.

Han Jian patted Han Song's shoulder and signaled to reassure her, at this time Gu Xin'er walked out, although she felt that Han Jian had something on her mind these days, Han Jian didn't say that she couldn't guess. At this time, listening to Han Song's words, she realized that in the past six months, the empress was not in Jiangdu.

Han Jian didn't eat breakfast, so he went to the Chengdong Mansion with Han Song.

When the Dongwangfu and his party arrived, the entire Chengdong Mansion was already bustling with people, not only court officials, but also many officials from the Dongwangfu. Because the empress has always claimed that she is sick and does not see anyone, her safety has become the most concerned thing in Jiangdu at present. Especially when Luoyang has been in turmoil.

"King Dong, you can count it." As soon as Han Jian stood still, Lin Ke wiped his cold sweat and came over to see Han Jian.

Originally, he thought that he could control the overall situation, but now the situation has gone beyond the scope of control, if these officials can't see the empress for a while, they make noise together, and make trouble again, maybe what the consequences will be. Lin Ke can roughly guess that once these officials make trouble, the Dongwang Mansion will definitely not sit idly by, and it will be difficult to end peacefully at that time. Once something happens, the death of a few people is a trivial matter, and it is likely that the Eastern Wangfu and the Wei Dynasty court have completely broken up. And the court of the Wei Dynasty is only under the name of the Eastern Wangfu for the time being, and it exists in name only, and if this kind of thing happens, the court of the Wei Dynasty will no longer exist.

"Lin Shangshu, it's all a good thing you did." Han Jian said coldly.

"East King...... Let's see how it ends. Lin Ke said a little nervously.

At this time, Gu Weipan and several other important ministers of the imperial court came over to inquire about the empress's condition.

"Has His Majesty's illness not been cured?" Gu Weipan came up and asked.

Han Jian knew that Gu Weipan was asking knowingly, at this time, the empress was not in Jiangdu at all, Gu Weipan was very clear. He asked this, just to find a step down for Han Jian, and when the time came, he said that the empress's condition had not healed, and he could continue to delay.

But Han Jian knows that in the current situation, it is difficult to delay any longer. If the empress's illness dragged him out again, these ministers would definitely be excited.

Han Jian glanced sideways at Lin Ke and said, "Lin Shangshu, where is Ling's niece now?" ”

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the person was not sent back by you a few days ago, and now he is still asking?

"Huh? This one...... People, are ...... in the house"

"What about His Majesty's condition, can she explain it?" Han Jian continued to ask.

"This ......" Lin Ke was in a cold sweat on his head, and Han Jian was obviously putting the responsibility on him. He didn't know how to respond.

If the empress is getting better, then these people will go in to see the empress, and if she says that she is not well, these people will still go in to see her. Left and right are not flattering.

"Xiaguan...... I really don't know. The little niece may not be able to cure His Majesty's illness due to her poor medical skills, and she also asks His Royal Highness the East King to atone for her sins. ”

When Lin Ke said this, the minister next to him was in an uproar.

Lin Ke said as if the empress's condition was still not improving, how could these people give up lightly?

An old minister shouted: "Lin Shangshu, what do you mean by this? The doctor you found said that he could cure His Majesty's illness within ten days, but now he can't cure it, but he wants to punish the crime? ”

"Yes, punish the crime!" The person next to him chimed in.

Lin Ke complained bitterly in his heart, and at this time, he could also look at Han Jian with a begging gaze.

Han Jian suddenly raised his hand to make everyone calm down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is indeed not in the dormitory right now." Han Jian said loudly.

At this moment, not only were the people around him in an uproar, but even some people who knew the inside story did not expect that Han Jian would be so "honest".

"King Dong, what do you mean by that? His Majesty is not in the dormitory, is it as rumored by the outside world, he was put under house arrest by your Dongwang Mansion? Some ministers asked directly.

"The Eastern Prince's Mansion doesn't dare to do such an arrogant thing." Han Jian said coldly, "Your Majesty's condition has improved recently, so I often go out for a walk, and in order to avoid people's eyes, I have always been low-key and alone. Nowadays, His Majesty is participating in Zen and worshipping the Buddha, which is not very convenient to meet people. ”

"Huh?" Those present were in an uproar again.

"Jian'er, what are you talking about?" Han Songshi came up and pulled Han Jian's sleeve and reminded in a low voice.

In Han Song's view, even if you make excuses, you can't find unreliable reasons. The Wei Dynasty has always forbidden Buddha, this is a well-known thing, Han Jian actually said that the empress was participating in Zen and worshiping Buddha, so isn't it like telling these people that he is opening his mouth?
