Chapter Forty-Five: The Heart of the Ape and the Horse
Jun Zhiyao's face was cunning, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of playfulness.
Zhang Lanxin didn't care about anything else at this time, and when she heard Jun Zhiyao agree, she hurriedly asked what was the matter.
"That's it." Jun Zhiyao said, leaning closer to Zhang Lanxin, Zhang Lanxin was startled and wanted to avoid it backwards, but unexpectedly, Jun Zhiyao supported Zhang Lanxin's head with one hand, so that she couldn't dodge.
The corners of Jun Zhiyao's mouth were close to Zhang Lanxin's ears, word by word, and warm breath hit her neck.
"No, never." Zhang Lanxin reacted violently when she heard this, she broke free from Jun Zhiyao, and looked at Jun Zhiyao's eyes full of fear.
Zhang Lanxin couldn't imagine that Jun Zhiyao would make such excessive demands on her.
But Jun Zhiyao was not in a hurry, he snorted softly. His demeanor was very calm. "Think about it, what kind of place is the Zongren Mansion, there are people who eat people and don't spit out bones, how many prisoners died in the Zongren Mansion, you don't know. If you delay for a day, Jun Ruyu will have one more day of torture. ”
Zhang Lanxin gasped and trembled unconsciously.
"I'll give you three days to think about it. If you agree, feel free to come to my mansion and look for me. After speaking, Jun Ruyu smiled at Zhang Lanxin and passed by her.
Zhang Lan's heart was in place, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Jun Zhiyao turned a corner and walked straight to Jinhua Palace. When Zhang Lan mentioned it in his heart, he began to feel a little strange. If you have an accident, you must be very happy. However, where did this evidence of adultery and treason come from, and who handed it over to the emperor, Jun Zhiyao does not know.
There was only one Mu Nan who he placed next to Jun Ruyu. But Mu Nanan didn't do anything big, and dragged two disabled legs back.
Could it be that there are still people secretly framing Jun Ruyu? Jun Zhiyao was puzzled, and unconsciously arrived at Jinle Palace. He was even more puzzled now as to why the queen, who had never had a very shallow relationship, was summoned at this time.
The Jinhua Palace was very quiet, and the palace maids who were originally rubbing the queen's shoulders saw that Jun Zhiyuan was coming, and they all pushed it down. When these palace maids passed by, Jun Zhiyao saw that they looked good, and reached out to touch the little palace maid's face.
"The Queen." Jun Zhiyao approached and saluted the queen.
As he spoke, he looked around. There were only two people left in the hall, Jun Zhiyao and the queen, and the atmosphere instantly became a little serious. The queen has a lazy demeanor, but she is not dignified. She asked Jun Zhiyao to sit down and walk the chess that had just been played.
Jun Zhiyao didn't understand the queen's purpose, so he was obedient. He sat opposite the queen and played chess with the queen.
When she was young, the queen was the daughter of the Lord of the Eight Banners and a product of Shangshu, and her background was very prominent. Zhang Lanxin, who is now favored, is a niece of hers. If it weren't for this relationship, the queen would definitely not have taken Zhang Lanxin with her since she was a child.
"The queen's mother called her ministers over, it shouldn't be just about playing chess." Seeing that three games of chess had been played, the queen still didn't say a word, Jun Zhiyao couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately asked herself.
The queen raised her eyebrows and looked up at Jun Zhiyuan. "Recently, the adultery and treason of the three princes can be said to be rumored. Now that he is being locked up in the Zongren Mansion, I am afraid that he will be sentenced to death in a few days. ”
Jun Zhiyao was stunned, and the chess pieces in his hand fell to the ground. The queen called him over because of Jun Ruyu's reputation, but what does this have to do with him.
"Now among the government and the opposition, you can be regarded as having the most holiday with the three princes. If you don't want to calculate, it's okay, if you think about it, you are the easiest to frame him. Since Jun Zhiyao took the initiative to mention it, the queen didn't bother to talk to him.
"Father asked you to ask me?" Jun Zhiyao's eyes were slightly empty, and he chuckled in his heart. Let's not say that he didn't have time to frame Jun Ruyu, since the queen said so, someone no longer trusts him.
What Jun Zhiyao is afraid of is that the emperor has opinions about him. The emperor has many heirs, and if he dies a king, he can find another prince to compete with himself.
"No, this palace is looking for you today, and no one knows." The queen simply stopped the chess pieces in her hand, her little finger armor bent, and the queen took a sip of tea.
Jun Zhiyao was even more puzzled, the queen summoned him to the palace for no reason, and chatted with him about these things.
"This palace just wants to ask, Jun Ruyu did not come back with all the soldiers, but the evidence of treason came to the emperor first. What happened in it, only the emperor and the man knew. Poor Concubine Shugui has been in the cold palace for 20 years, and she has tried her best to bring Jun Ruyu up, but now how Jun Zhiyao died, even he doesn't know. ”
As the queen spoke, a pair of eyes looked at Jun Zhiyuan from time to time. She deliberately provoked Jun Zhiyao, just to make Jun Zhiyao jump earlier.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, this is the truth.
Jun Zhiyao was not a fool, so he naturally heard what the queen meant, he quickly got up, threw off his robe and knelt on one knee. "The queen's mother is talking about the calculation of the son, but it makes the son-in-law feel wronged. I don't know how Jun Ruyu's sons died, and how his sons harmed him, let alone how they harmed him. ”
The queen didn't say much, shouted him up, and said a few more greetings, and then asked him to retreat.
Jun Zhiyao walked out of Jinhua Palace, and the anger and confusion between his eyebrows became more and more revealed. Although what the queen said was groundless, it was not unreasonable. The emperor's relatives and relatives treasoned against the country, and such a big thing actually rose up violently, like a tornado, and the progress was very rapid. It's only been a few days, and Jun Ruyu has been imprisoned.
The emperor didn't ask what happened, and Jun Ruyu had nothing to say. The only possibility is that this evidence is conclusive, and Jun Ruyu is forced to his death. Who has such great power.
"The fifth brother is a little immature." When you are far away, Jun Fenglin comes out of the screen. He leisurely walked to the queen and sat down, tilting his head to look at the chess that Jun Zhiyao had just played.
"It's not immature, it's brainless." The queen laughed mockingly. Jun Zhiyao is ruthless in front of people, in fact, he is like a marionette, he listens to what others say.
It's the same, who would have thought that the prince, who has always been calm and gentle, would have such deep thoughts.
"He should have met Zhang Lanxin when he came, right?" A playful look flashed in Jun Fenglin's eyes.
"The palace asked his cronies to follow Zhang Lanxin out of the palace, and the two did collide." The queen said that, and played chess calmly. "Lan Xin, this girl is also dedicated, I like Jun Ruyu for ten years."
The queen thought of Zhang Lanxin's begging the emperor to save her these days, but she didn't know whether to praise Zhang Lanxin's infatuation, or sigh that she was stupid.
"The queen mother won." Jun Fenglin looked down at the chessboard and suddenly said to the queen.
"If this palace wins, you win."
The queen and Jun Fenglin looked at each other, and both of them looked proud.
Soon, the emperor established the time for Jun Ruyu to be sentenced to death in the early dynasty. Two days later, at noon, it was Jun Ruyu's death.
As soon as this incident came out, the news spread throughout Daxing. The capital was full of relish, and sighed. Jun Ruyu died, but it was the girls who were sad, and many women couldn't sleep and eat for this matter, and washed their faces with tears all day long.
Jun Zhiyao came down from the morning court, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Jun Ruyu died, he was naturally happy, but the secret in this made Jun Zhiyao extremely irritable.
He thought that only Jun Ruyu could compete with him for the crown prince, so he tried every means to win Jun Ruyu. Now it seems that things are far from being as simple as they seem.
Jun Zhiyao thought about it, and after leaving the palace, he did not return to his mansion, but went to the general's mansion.
General Mu stayed in the palace to discuss political affairs with the emperor, and the palace was still quiet. Jun Zhiyao went to the backyard with the housekeeper, and Mu Nan was staying alone in the room to rest at this time.
"Five Princes!" Seeing Jun Zhiyao coming in, Mu Nan was excited. Jun Zhiyao closed the door and moved his gaze to Mu Nan's legs. It never occurred to Munan that he was not injured by killing the enemy on the battlefield, but that a stone falling from the hillside broke his leg.
"I'm coming to you today because I have something to ask." Jun Zhiyao gets straight to the point. He hadn't seen him since Munan had returned. These days are the worries of being disturbed, and I have to come to ask.
"Do you have a share of the credit for searching for evidence of Jun Ruyu's adultery and treason?" Jun Zhiyao raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on Mu Nan, as if he wanted to see him through.
How dare Mu Nan lie about this kind of thing, he quickly shook his head, indicating that he didn't interfere in anything. Jun Zhiyao asked a few more times, but he still couldn't get a good one. Jun Zhiyao was even more puzzled.
"Fifth prince, my leg is a good reputation." Mu Nan told Jun Zhiyao about Jun Ruyu deliberately leading him to the bottom of the stone, and added some fuel and vinegar. "At that time, Jun Ruyu was trapped under the mud and rocks, and I thought I could solve him, but he was defeated instead."
When Mu Nan mentioned Jun Ruyu, his teeth were itching with hatred.
"That's right, the Fifth Prince! You have to watch out for the servant girl beside Dianjun Ruyu. I thought she was just ugly, and I wondered why Jun Ruyu was with her every day, but she turned out to be very good at martial arts. ”
was mentioned by Mu Nan like this, Jun Zhiyao really became interested in Yun Xiaoxiao. Everyone in the world knows that Jun Ruyu is not close to women, and suddenly a personal servant girl appeared out of thin air, which is really strange.
"I know, you're so rested." After Jun Zhiyao finished speaking, he hurriedly left the room. Mu Nan's legs are now crippled, and he has long lost his usefulness. From the moment Jun Zhiyao went out, he was already regarded as having lost Mu Nan.
As soon as he got out of the yard, he bumped into Yun Xiaowan who came in with a decoction. Jun Zhiyao glanced at her coldly, and then sped up to pass her.
Yun Xiaowan was puzzled and followed quickly to the room.
"I saw the fifth prince go out just now, why did he come to you?" Yun Xiaowan was in the fog, she knew very well who Mu Nan was with on weekdays, and Jun Zhiyao was the first time Yun Xiaowan saw her enter and leave the General's Mansion.
"Before I went to the frontier, I agreed to do things for the five princes. After all, before the fire of the medical hall, there was a handle in Jun Ruyu's hands. Jun Ruyu doesn't eat hard and soft, so I can only find another backer. Mu Nan did not shy away from it, and told Yun Xiaowan all the specific things. He didn't say it at that time, and Jun Zhiyao didn't allow it.
It's just that Mu Nan didn't expect that burning down the hospital was just a minor crime, and the most important thing was to lose face. Now the disaster caused by himself is like a snowball, and he can't escape.
"I'm looking for your second young master."
