That being said, the truth is not as simple as it seems.

Shi Xia knew very well that she would not have much time to study chilblain cream for the next period of time, and she had more important things to do.

……

After seeing Empress Jin'an, Nong Zhou begged for a warrant, bought the wine and food in the most famous restaurant in Shangjing, and swayed towards the prison cell of the Criminal Department.

The person guarding the door saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, which had a bit of a fairy wind and bones, although he didn't know the identity of this person, his attitude couldn't help but be respectful.

"Sir, this is not the place for you to come, please go back."

Nong Zhou smiled calmly, stroked his beard and said, "I'm here to see the old man, and I'll ask the little brother to make it convenient." ”

With that, he took out the pass from Emperor Jin An from his sleeve and handed it to the gatekeeper.

The moment he took it, the gatekeeper glanced at it, saw the royal emblem on the pass, took a step back cautiously, and returned the pass with both hands.

After Nong Zhou took it, he took a step back to the side and said respectfully, "Old gentleman, please come in." ”

Nong Zhou stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and strode inside with a food basket.

After he left, the gatekeeper hurriedly recalled what he had said before, and only after confirming that there was no offense did he let out a long sigh of relief.

That old gentleman has an extraordinary bearing, and he has a royal warrant, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like an ordinary person, so it's better not to be offended.

With no one leading the way, Nongzhou came all the way to the entrance of the prison unimpeded.

In the prison, he was rolling the dice and had fun when he heard the sound, and hurriedly put away his things, pretending to look at the entrance seriously.

Nong Zhou, who was passing by here, paused slightly, pointed to the wooden table, kindly reminded them, and said softly: "Next time, I will pick up the dice on the ground." ”

Jailers: "......"

After finishing speaking, Nong Zhou's eyes looked around their faces, and finally fell on Ye Yan, the same, first took the pass to him to look at, and then said the purpose.

"I want to see Junchen."

After confirming the authenticity of the pass, Ye Bai calmly led the way ahead: "Old gentleman, please come with me." ”

With that, he took the lead.

Nong Zhou raised his heels.

The jailers behind him looked at each other, and suddenly, one of them bent down and searched carefully under the table, and sure enough, he picked up a die at the foot of the north table.

In an instant, several people rushed towards the guy sitting in that position.

"You kid dares to be a thousand!"

"Deceived me so many peanuts and said, what are you going to compensate us?"

"I'll just say how your kid always wins if you have divine help today, it turns out that there is a trick."

Seeing the anger of the public, the jailer who was hooked by the neck hurriedly laughed and said: "I am wrong about this matter, otherwise I will give you all the peanuts and rice today?" ”

"How can it be so easy, you ......"

The low noise behind gradually went away, Ye Bai listened to the noise behind him, he was undisciplined at all, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame in his heart, and he was a little embarrassed to tell Nong Zhou: "Let the old gentleman see the joke." ”

Usually the jailers are quite restrained, and they just laugh in private, and they never make trouble in the open.

Today, it was debunked by the old gentleman who just came, and he made a joke, which really embarrassed the criminal department.

Hearing this, Nong Zhou waved his hand indifferently, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, young people should always have some vitality to be pleasing." ”

Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the passage, Nong Zhou asked knowingly, "Are you coming?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Yan suddenly came back to his senses from an emotion similar to shame, and looked up to see Nong Zhou waiting for him to answer, he hurriedly said: "It's not far ahead, and it's going to be there soon." ”

Seeing Nong Zhou nodding, Ye Bai's slightly tense mood slowly relaxed.

For some reason, although the old man in front of him looked very kind, he invisibly carried a sense of oppression, even more so than the prince of the East Palace or General Junda.

He didn't even dare to look him in the eye, for fear of being swallowed up by the whirlpool in his eye.

Fortunately, the cell where Junchen was held was close in front of him, and after leading the person over, Ye Yan fled and left.

Jun Chen turned around and happened to see this scene.

"What did the Emperor do to him?"

"I'm just a bad old man, what can I do to him?" Nong Zhou didn't feel embarrassed, calmly entered the cell, took out the food in the food box and put it on the table, and then had the leisure to look around.

After a while, Nong Zhou touched his chin and commented: "As a prisoner, your treatment is really good. ”

"I'm imprisoned here, but I'm not a prisoner." On the other side, Junchen poured two glasses of wine, picked up one of them himself, and saluted Nong Zhou from afar: "Thank you Emperor for your good wine and good food." ”

When the words fell, he had already raised his head and drank it all.

The strong aroma of wine came to his nose, and the spicy liquid slid into his throat, obviously choking and wanting to cough, but Junchen only felt a burst of pleasure.

Nowadays, only spirits can suppress his emotions and give him a little sense of stability.

As for whether he will lose his temper after drinking, it has long been out of his consideration.

After all, even if it is a gaffe, it will not be too out of place.

Nong Zhou took a step slower, and when he finally raised his glass, Junchen had already drunk three glasses of himself, obviously looking like he had something on his mind.

Nong Zhou didn't stop it, for a long time, he smiled slowly and said: "This wine is called Burning Heart, and it has great stamina,"

Junchen was unmoved, only nodded and responded: "Good name, good wine." ”

Burning, living up to its name as a spirit.

After only three cups, his belly was like a fire, and the taste was not as mellow as that of famous wine, but it was more strong than all the wines he had ever touched.

Seeing that he didn't say a few words, a pot of wine went to the small half, Nong Zhou raised his hand to stop him, and in his puzzled eyes, he said with a smile: "Since it is a good wine, what's the fun of drinking it alone?" ”

Without waiting for Junchen to answer, Nong Zhou raised his hand, personally poured a glass for him, and said without pause: "It's not beautiful to drink wine alone." ”

It's not beautiful, indeed.

After the first glass of wine, he found a sense of groundedness.

But after a few glasses, the more he drank, the more dazed he became.

Junchen didn't rush to drink again, his fingers unconsciously rubbed the pattern on the cup, frowning as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he curled up his fingers, looked up into Nong Zhou's eyes, and asked in a dumb voice, "Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... How's it going now? ”

After hearing the news of Qi Changrong's punishment, he stayed awake all night and sat in this closed cell all night.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the man's smiling eyes and unhurried movements.

He had never been tortured like this, and his heart was clenched tightly for a night's pain.

For him, feeling sorry for someone is an extremely unfamiliar experience.

Others say that he is invincible on the battlefield and is a god of war who will not lose.

But no matter how powerful the god of war is, he will be injured.

He once went into the enemy camp alone to capture the enemy's head, and was stabbed more than a dozen times, and the blood spilling from the wound stained the entire armor red.

At that time, he was numb and isolated from pain, but he still bled without tears.

Now, he was unscathed, but he felt that his eyes were sour, and tears that he hadn't experienced for a long time surged up instantly.

is worried about Qi Changrong, and it is also for the grievances of the monarch, and the culprit who caused all this is Emperor Jin An.

He hated the emperor, but he accepted the favor of the prince of the East Palace several times.

Speaking of which, even if he didn't want to admit it, if it weren't for his dependence on Qi Changrong stronger than his hatred for Emperor Jin An, how could he put everything in her hands?

Nong Zhou looked at the young man in front of him with slightly red eyes, his fingers kept spinning on the wine glass, and he lowered his head but did not move for a long time, he sighed and said, "It's not good, she knelt in the snow for a day and a night." ”

Everyone said that the general of the Junfu was so good, but they forgot that this general was only in his early twenties this year.

"What's going on?!" Jun Chen suddenly raised his head, his heartstrings tightened slightly: "Was he punished by His Majesty?" ”

"No, she volunteered." Nong Zhou shook his head, but he explained the ins and outs to him one by one.

"It is difficult to re-investigate this case, because it involves the royal system, His Majesty can naturally only try his best to suppress it, but the prince is unwilling, she wants to find out the truth and change the monarch's door for justice, so she will work against the emperor in public, and finally, kneel in the snow to prove her determination."

From Nong Zhou's point of view, although Qi Changrong's actions were a little impulsive and irrational, it has to be said that the effect is excellent.

If it weren't for her attitude in front of Emperor Jin An, which invisibly increased the pressure on the royal family, Emperor Jin An would not have let go easily.

After all, she is the only crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, and many years later, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, her will is especially important in the eyes of Emperor Jin An.

Jun Chen's throat tightened as he listened, he knew that the snow yesterday was especially dense, but in just a few hours, the earth turned white.

He was still in prison last night, unable to blow the wind or snow, and still felt the biting cold.

But she knelt in the snow, there was no shelter around her, when it snowed, when the snow melted, she was a thin woman, and her serious injuries had not healed, how uncomfortable should she be?

Thinking of this, Jun Chen almost fidgeted: "How is she now?" ”

"I don't know, before I came, she had already returned to the East Palace." Seeing Junchen's urgency, Nong Zhou was still as unhurried as before, and while speaking, he took Junchen's reaction into his eyes: "However, she has not passed on the imperial doctor." ”

Yes, no news came out of the East Palace, and outsiders couldn't go in to inquire.

Hearing this, Junchen not only failed to rest assured, but even became more worried.

Her identity is the biggest secret of the royal family, how can she spread the imperial doctor with great fanfare?

If it were normal, maybe she would invite someone from the Tai Hospital to go to the East Palace to fool the outside world.

But right now, she doesn't have the energy to arrange this little thing, so you can imagine how bad her situation is now.

Jun Chen took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, solemnly bowed to Nong Zhou, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, can I invite you to take a trip to the East Palace to see her current situation?" ”

If it had been before, this little thing would have been nothing more than a gesture for him, but now that the situation has changed drastically, Nong Zhou can only shake his head.

"I can't enter the East Palace now."
