Heng Yuanjun's hand reached into the prison, and Han Chong barely raised his left hand.

The two men briefly clasped hands in the air, then released them.

Heng Yuanjun slowly stood up with his support for the fence, dragging the heavy chains on his feet and continued to walk forward, Han Chong watched him leave, and only closed his eyes again when the sound of the chains dragging on the ground could no longer be heard.

……

It was already noon outside.

The summer sun shone down, and Hengyuanjun hadn't adapted to the light here for a long time.

Someone took him by the arm and slowly led him to a carriage. After a moment of repair, he gently lifted the curtain in the car—this was in the direction of the Qinyuan mansion.

The carriage bumped all the way, and when it stopped again, it stopped at the main gate of Qinyuan as Heng Yuanjun had expected.

There has been another wave of officials and guards here, and the faces of these gatekeepers are always changing, Heng Yuanjun climbed up the stairs, and slowly walked towards the gate of Qinyuan in the front and back of the siege.

In the past, the threshold that could be quickly stepped on is a little difficult to drag heavy chains today.

In the first courtyard after entering the door, there were many things piled up in a mess, including open wooden boxes, scattered books, his change of clothes, and his dilapidated chessboard, which he now only used for his personal collection...... Heng Yuanjun glanced at the scene expressionlessly, and then his gaze fell on a person in a red official uniform not far away.

It was Sun Beiji, who came in person, at this moment, the old man was standing not far from the gate with his back to Heng Yuanjun, his hands folded behind him, and when he heard the transmission, he turned around.

Under the scorching sun, Heng Yuanjun didn't stand for long, and his breathing was already heavy.

"Go and talk in the shade." Sun Beiji said softly.

Heng Yuanjun smiled, "Thank you, Elder Ge...... Understanding. ”

A group of Jinyi guards had been closely following Hengyuanjun and Sun Beiji's vicinity, ready to defend against potential threats.

At this time, someone brought two cups of tea, but Sun Beiji did not move, and so did Heng Yuanjun.

The eyes of both of them swept to the officials who were continuing to move things into the courtyard not far away.

"I don't know what Elder Ge is looking for here?" Heng Yuanjun said softly.

"Why should Heng Yuanjun pretend to be stupid with the old man here." Sun Beiji said softly, "The emperor trusted you a lot before, so he saved you from the pain of grounding, and sent you many imperial dossiers. ”

"I read it as I was told, and I didn't force it." Heng Yuanjun replied, "And after reading it, it will always be sent back as it is, and no copy will be kept." ”

"Whether or not it has been stayed, we'll find out later." Sun Beiji's voice was flat, "I brought you back here today because I have something to ask you." ”

"Ge Lao, excuse me."

"At present, the evidence is conclusive, the bandits in Fuzhou and Daye are inextricably linked to the Jian'an Pavilion, but you insist that you don't know anything about everything," Sun Beiji looked at Heng Yuanjun, "Do you think that this confession alone can save your own life?" ”

Heng Yuanjun sighed, "It's time to explain, I already explained to the emperor four years ago, and I have been almost isolated from the world in the past four years." The so-called flying birds, good bow hiding, if the emperor wants to kill me now, what kind of reason can't it. ”

Sun Beiji smiled indifferently, "Even if you are in the inner court, you can still play chess with outsiders...... Is that also isolation? ”

Heng Yuanjun frowned slightly, "Elder Sun Ge overheard my conversation with Bai Siyao last night." ”

"Heng Yuanjun," Sun Beiji's face was still not very good-looking, "The old man has been open and honest, if you continue to pretend, then today's conversation will end here." ”

Heng Yuanjun smiled helplessly.

"You only need to answer me one question," Sun Beiji's eyes were glazed, "Where is the child who was sent out of the palace back then?" ”

Faced with this sudden topic, Heng Yuanjun's face showed a little surprise, and then quickly calmed down.

"The pavilion is always determined...... I'll know for sure. Heng Yuanjun asked.

"Of course you do." Sun Beiji replied in a deep voice, "Outside, everyone thinks that you were the Jianxi Thirty-five Years Old Jianxi who really took over Jian'an Pavilion, but in the last four or five years when Prince Qinyuan was still alive, I know very well what his situation was. It is impossible for such a weak patient to have any mental strength to govern such a huge organization as Jian'an Pavilion.

"From then on, the person who took over to see An Ge should be you." Sun Beiji said softly, "The child they risked death to protect at the beginning, will he come to you and ignore it completely?" ”

"These are two things entirely, Elder Ge." Heng Yuanjun looked at the courtyard in the distance, "Have you forgotten that when that child was sent out of the palace, I was just a little baby." The world is so big that even if I learned the truth, I was bent on finding the whereabouts of that man, but it was not easy to search for a stranger who had been hiding in the sea of people more than thirty years ago.

"Well, I can't save you." Sun Beiji slowly stood up, "According to the emperor's will, if you are passive and lazy in this matter, then you and your subordinates' lives will no longer have to be kept." ”

I thought that Heng Yuanjun was probably going to change his words, but he didn't think that he slowly closed his eyes and sighed lightly.

"It's fine." He whispered, "Then what I promised my father before he died, I finally did it." ”

……

In Jingzhao Yin's yamen, Zheng Mi was playing peek-a-boo with his youngest daughter in the courtyard behind the yamen.

He was almost out of breath under the pressure of official duties before, he was tired enough during the day, and he couldn't sleep at night.

He leaned his head against a tree in the courtyard and shouted, "Have you hidden it?" ”

In the direction of the southeast corner, there was a childish "Okay! ”

Zheng Mi raised her head, looked in the southeast direction, and saw a skirt corner exposed behind the rockery, the little girl seemed to have found that the skirt corner was exposed, and with a slight twitch behind the rockery, the corner of the dress was gone.

"Daddy is looking for it!"

Zheng Mi didn't go to the southeast, but walked a few steps to the west first, pretending to walk around to have a look.

The little girl behind the rockery looked from behind the crack in the stone, her eyes smiling into two slits, barely laughing sound.

"Are you hiding behind this big tank?" Zheng Mi exaggerated his movements brushed away the vigorous green grass in the corner, "No...... Haha, I see you! Is it hidden behind the brick wall here? ”

Zheng Mi ran behind the wall in a daze, but just around the corner, when he was about to shout again, "Why aren't you there", the smile on his face suddenly froze there-

On the corridor outside the courtyard, there are palace people walking in the direction of this backyard with a cold face.
