Chapter 531: Hypocrisy

It was close to dusk that Han Jian came out of the inner courtyard, and at this time, the women of the family were all around Yang Li'er to ask for warmth, Yang Li'er's status at this time was different from the past, and even she herself was not very suitable for being surrounded by people asking questions.

"Athlete out? Why don't you stay in the room and have a good rest with Xin'er? Seeing Han Jian, Han Cuishi first came over and said with a smile.

Han Jian smiled bitterly, these aunts of his own seemed to be too concerned about his private life, and some were too concerned, which may also be the reason why he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Xin'er and Wen'er went to sleep first, I have to go to the army at night to have a meeting, and I can't sleep for the time being." Han Jian said.

"It's fine." Han Cuishi said, "Now it's up to let Xin'er also conceive the flesh and blood of the East Wangfu earlier, Jian'er, you still have to work harder." ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, stepped forward to help Yang Li'er, who was surrounded by many women, and said, "A few aunts just came over, and it is rare for the family to reunite today, so let's have dinner together, and go back to the room to rest early." ”

Han Cuishi said: "No, you go to business earlier." Wait until tomorrow to rest and make a good family banquet, just the side of the majesty...... It seems that you can't see people? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, "Your Majesty is in the Taimiao, and I won't meet the courtiers these days." ”

Han Cuishi nodded at this time, and there seemed to be some doubts in his heart, I don't know why Yang Rui suddenly went to Taimiao. After all, she still didn't know the relationship between Han Jian and Yang Rui, so she didn't study it in detail.

Han Jian sent Yang Xin'er back to the room first, and explained some things to Yang Li'er, including that he would accompany Gu Xin'er and Wen'er more in the past few days, and rarely have time to come over. Yang Li'er also understood Han Jian very well, and after the two had dinner together, Han Jian took advantage of the night to go out and go in the direction of the yamen of the military station.

In the military station, the generals who returned to the city led by Lin Zhan had arrived. The main purpose of Han Jian's meeting this time was to explain the problem of Luoyang's defense. Now that Lin Zhan is back, there is no longer a shortage of candidates for the commander of the Chinese army in the army, although Lin Zhan was not in command of the whole army before, but let him take over the defense of Luoyang, at least he can suppress the generals below. And Han Jian was also very relieved of Lin Zhan.

The meeting ended in almost half an hour, and after the meeting, Han Jian did not leave in a hurry, but left Lin Zhan alone and spoke. It's not all official matters, but also some private matters, such as Lin Xiaoshu.

“…… Xiao Shu will also arrive in Luoyang in the next few days, and by the way, Nanwangfu will also send someone to pick up your little nephew, so that your family can reunite in Luoyang. Han Jian said.

Lin Zhan said with emotion: "I didn't expect her to be so capable. I can help in front of His Highness. ”

Han Jian patted Lin Zhan's shoulder with a smile and said, "This is the tiger brother and no dog sister, that's probably what it means." Some arrangements in the army, you goose go to implement them earlier, and put the soldiers and horses outside the city in order in the next two days. After the army set off, the defense of the entire Luoyang can be completely pinned on you alone, Brother Lin. ”

"Yes." Lin Zhan bowed down to receive the order.

Han Jian didn't say much, holding the notebook for Lin Zhan and other generals in his hand, and said, "I'll go into the palace to meet Your Majesty and let Your Majesty give you a reward." Brother Lin can also be promoted to the knighthood in this way, which is gratifying. ”

"Outside the body. His Royal Highness is still too hasty. Lin Zhan said a little shyly.

Han Jian smiled, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and walked out of the military yamen in the direction of the palace.

If Han Jian hadn't been looking for a reason to ask Lin Zhan and other generals for credit, he wouldn't have been able to go to the palace to see Yang Rui. After only a day of not seeing him, Han Jian felt as if he was every other three autumns.

When I got to the gate of the palace, I asked the guards inside. Only then did I know that Yang Rui had indeed been in the temple all day and did not come out, and even Yang Rui's daily use was sent in by the palace maid, it seems that Yang Rui did not mean to leave the temple and come out.

Han Jian thought to himself, just go and see you like this. Most of them will be closed by Yang Rui, and they are a little embarrassed, and they suddenly think of Hui'er's side. Yang Rui now keeps Hui'er by his side as a personal maidservant, and if he wants to deliver food, this kind of thing should be done by Hui'er alone, Hui'er is so afraid of him, when the time comes, a little intimidation, Hui'er still doesn't honestly take herself to see Yang Rui?

Thinking of this, Han Jian walked in the direction of the palace, the palace at night was a little bleak, Han Jian entered the inner garden of the palace, but he also felt a little strange. After all, Yang Rui is not here, this palace is just an empty shell, and now that he is the king of the east and the prison country, the palace can enter and exit freely, but he can't help but feel that it is precisely because he is so sharp that Yang Rui is pressured that Yang Rui deliberately avoids him.

"Slave and maid to His Highness."

At the gate of Yang Rui's dormitory, Hui'er saw Han Jian coming, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Without Yang Rui by her side, she herself was a little scared, especially when she saw Han Jian.

"Get up." Han Jian commanded, and Hui'er straightened up from the ground tremblingly, but she didn't dare to look up at Han Jian, "Your Majesty didn't come back to rest?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. His Majesty is still in the temple, and the slaves and maids are not allowed to disturb him. Hui'er said.

"Then you might usually see His Majesty himself?" Han Jian asked.

Hui'er said: "Your Majesty only allows slaves and maids to bring food and water to the threshold of the Taimiao, and slaves and maids are not allowed to enter, slaves and maids...... I can't see my majesty. ”

"This king has something to do to see His Majesty, and you lead the way in front." Han Jian said.

Hui'er looked embarrassed, obviously she had received some instructions from Yang Rui and did not allow Dongwang to go to meet, and she was indeed very afraid of Han Jian in her heart, and she didn't know how to deal with it in the dilemma.

"Why, I didn't hear the words of this king, I missed a major military event, and I wasn't afraid of losing my head?" Han Jian shouted with a grim expression.

"Slave maid...... Don't dare, the slave maid will take His Royal Highness to the Taimiao. ”

Only then did Hui'er walk in front with a sad face, and walked in the direction of Taimiao with Han Jian.

Hui'er just held a lantern that was not too bright, and walked very slowly, Han Jian urged several times, and at the beginning Hui'er would speed up a few steps, and then involuntarily stopped at the back.

When she arrived at the gate of the Taimiao, Hui'er no longer dared to go inside, Han Jian looked into the courtyard of the Taimiao through the crack in the door, and found that there seemed to be no one inside.

"Is Your Majesty really in there?" Han Jian asked coldly.

"The slave and maid dare not deceive, may...... It may be that His Majesty has already gone to bed. Hui'er shrunk and said.

"Alright, open the door." Han Jian said.

Although Hui'er heard the words very clearly, she didn't dare to stretch out her hand to open the door, it was obvious that the king of the east was coming to see the empress, so she let her take the lead. Looking back at this time, Yang Rui will naturally not punish Dongwang, but will take his anger out on her.

"While standing, the king can go in by himself." Han Jianxin said don't embarrass this little palace maid, everyone has led the way, although he is not familiar with this section of the palace. But he finally came to the Taimiao and knew what the situation was inside, so he wouldn't be blind after entering, and he didn't even know where the door was.

As soon as he pushed the door, Han Jian realized that the door was tied from the inside, and he couldn't push it open, Han Jian glanced at the food box in front of the threshold, and when he opened it, he saw that the food in the food box was still good.

Han Jian felt bad in his heart, it could be that Yang Rui was not in it. And what Yang Rui said was just a pretense to think about it behind closed doors, and Yang Rui himself secretly left the palace?

It is indeed a little difficult for ordinary people to leave the palace without moving, but Yang Rui, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, has been in power for nearly 20 years, and is very familiar with the inside and outside of the palace, plus her own martial arts are not weak, it is easy to enter and exit the palace without being discovered.

Han Jian looked up at the wall of the Taimiao. It's not too high, just about to climb. Hui'er on the side looked at Han Jian a little flustered, not knowing what kind of fame Han Jian was going to make.

"How many times did you deliver food today?" Han Jian asked.

"Two ...... Twice. Hui'er said nervously.

"It's all like that?" Han Jian asked.

“…… Well. Hui'er's face was even more embarrassed, in fact, from Han Jian's question, she had already sensed that the empress might not be in it, otherwise people would be iron and steel, and as an emperor, there would be no need to eat?

Han Jian didn't say much. Jumping directly from the lower part of the wall, he jumped onto the wall, entered inside, and went directly to the direction of the main hall of the Taimiao, and when he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he was a little worried. If Yang Ruizhen wasn't inside, he really didn't know where to look for it.

However, when he pushed the door open, there was a crack in the door, but he saw that there was still a slight light coming from inside the door, and a tung oil lamp with a small flame flickered a few times the moment Han Jian opened the door, and finally went out. saw a figure originally facing away from him, but in the end he turned his head, and looked at him with a little resentment under the white moonlight.

It was Yang Rui.

Yang Rui got up from the cushion he was kneeling on, came to Han Jian, and sighed, "It's not that I won't let you come, why did you come here?" ”

Saying that, Yang Rui glanced at the crack in the door of the courtyard, and there was a light outside, and she didn't have to guess that she knew that it should be Hui'er outside.

When Han Jian saw Yang Rui, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't let go of his hanging heart, although Yang Rui seemed to be normal, the clothes on his body were a little wrong, but Yang Rui was wearing a night suit. Could it be that Yang Rui was already preparing to leave the palace, if he came one step late, people would no longer be able to see him?

"I came to the palace to ask for merit, but you are ......" Han Jian looked at the clothes on Yang Rui's body and said.

"Go outside and talk." Yang Rui pointed to the door, and then went to the courtyard with Han Jian, so that Han Jian could see more clearly the clothes on Yang Rui's body, which was indeed not "normal" clothes, but indeed night clothes.

"There are some things that I didn't mean to hide from you." Yang Rui said with a little hesitation on his face.

Han Jian frowned and said, "It turns out that Rui'er, you still have a lot of secrets in your heart?" ”

Yang Rui sighed: "I know how much you will think about it, do you think I will never go back?" I told you, didn't it make you worried? ”

"If you don't say it, I'm all worried." Han Jian said, "Fortunately, I came to see it, otherwise you would just leave like this, and let me face such a reproach to the courtiers alone, and keep making up lies with them that you can come back?" ”

"Can you calm down?" Yang Rui suddenly seemed to lose his temper and said.

Han Jian was silent, that seemed to be saying, but I want to hear what you say.

Yang Rui said: "I am going to do one thing, as short as three or five days, ten days and half a month late will definitely be able to come back, if you know, you will definitely not let me go, even let me go, I will also go together." But after all, this is something that only I can do, and I can't fake it. ”

"What?" Han Jian asked.

"Can't tell." Yang Rui replied very simply.

Han Jian couldn't help but sigh, it seems that he and Yang Rui still have a lot of disagreements, even if he feels that he has controlled all of Yang Rui, Yang Rui has always been like a wife in front of him, but there is always something to hide from him, if he didn't want to enter the palace on a whim today, he might really miss it, and whether he can see each other again in the future is a question.

"In that case, should I go and pretend I don't know anything?" Han Jian asked in a somewhat unkind tone.

Yang Rui knows that Han Jian is angry now, and she can be regarded as knowing Han Jian's personality now, and Han Jian will not tolerate being kept in the dark about some things, especially between husband and wife.

"I don't want you to get involved too much in something." Yang Rui said, "Originally, you could go with you, but now the court situation in Luoyang, if you are not here, who can preside over it?" Moreover, now the whole dynasty is up and down, and I have thought about it in this temple, who would have thought that I was not in Luoyang, this time it is different from in Jiangdu, you believe me once? ”

Han Jian shook his head with a grim expression.

For him, this kind of thing is not negotiable at all. Even if Han Jian knew what was going on, and knew that Yang Rui had to go, he would not let Yang Rui go like this, this was his principle.

Han Jian said: "If you want to go, you can go together, otherwise there is no negotiation." ”

Yang Rui seemed to be angry: "Since this is the case, then I won't go, so I will stay, and I will face you day and night, can you relax like this?" ”

When Han Jian heard this, he knew that Yang Rui was pretending to cater to him, but he was actually preparing to leave secretly.

After all, he can't keep an eye on Yang Rui all the time, Yang Rui is in the palace, when he wants to leave, with her identity and martial arts, it is easy, but he himself, not only has a family to take care of, but he can't stay in the palace all the time as the king of the east.

Han Jian couldn't help but say, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Rui's wrist and walked in the direction of the door.

"You...... How? Yang Rui shook off Han Jian's hand and said with a bit of anger.

Han Jian said: "Since Rui'er, you don't think you can stay with me for a long time, even if you can't tell the world right away, but now that the aunts are in Luoyang, explain to them that it's finally okay, so you don't have to hide in the palace, you can enter and exit the Dongwang Mansion at any time." ”

Yang Rui let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that the husband still doesn't trust the concubine very much." ”

Han Jian looked at Yang Rui, not knowing what to say.

Yang Rui said: "Since you want to know everything, there are some things, so you won't hide them anymore." In fact, I am just hypocritical towards you, but I want to use the soldiers and horses of your East Wangfu to pacify Luoyang and restore the orthodoxy of the royal family. Committing to you is just a hypocrisy, after all, it is just hypocrisy. Are you satisfied with these words, King of the East? ”

After hearing so many words, Han Jian was like hearing a joke, some things were already doomed from the beginning. He knows the ups and downs of the relationship between him and Yang Rui, and if Yang Rui is disguised, he won't believe anything. (To be continued......)
