After the fire ransacked, nearly half of the palace was affected by the Qinglian Palace, which entered a long stage of repair.

The Qinglian Palace on the ground was restored to its original appearance little by little in the clanging hammers of the craftsmen, and the underground part was being explored inch by inch by Wen Moqing.

"The jade seal is still missing, right? A few days ago, someone mentioned the jade seal in the court, and the emperor casually made up a reason to perfunctory past, although no one continued to ask, probably the emperor will still be a little anxious, maybe someone will be sent to ask about the progress in the next three or two days. Jun Wunian looked at Wen Moqing sitting cross-legged in the clutter pile, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his smiling eyes.

"It's good to find it, it's good not to find it. If you can't find it, you can use the money of the imperial court to squander it in the name of tracking, and you don't even have to bother with it, so why not? Wen Moqing didn't look back, and quickly sorted out a pile of miscellaneous items, "Leave your immature prince here and come here, what do you want to say to me?" I'm embarrassed to leave, I'm too busy to talk nonsense with you. ”

Jun Wunian leaned against the stone wall, his eyes narrowed slightly: "There are a lot of things to say." First, let me ask you first, Qianhan found out that the person who set off the gunpowder on the day of the birthday banquet and chased and killed you and Miss Yan was Qingguohou, because you poisoned him and made him angry, not only burned the Hou Mansion but also personally arrested the fleeing Qingguohou, and broke Qingguohou's hands and feet in front of a group of retainers and threw them into the poisonous insect pile, but he did not continue to attack Miss Yan, is it because you have reconciled privately? ”

"There is no need for reconciliation. He wanted to get rid of Yan Liwu because he misunderstood the relationship between us, and now that Yan Liwu followed the second prince back to the palace, this misunderstanding was solved by itself, and he naturally didn't need to make a move. ”

Jun Wunian nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you care a lot about who ascends to the emperor's throne, before you secretly helped Wen Jingyuan because he acted decisively and had a strict style, but now that the demon concubine is in charge, Wen Jingyuan has lost his mind of wisdom and decision, do you still plan to support him to the end?" If so, who are you inclined to? The second prince? ”

This question finally made Wen Moqing go to his heart a little, stopped the movement of his hand, and rubbed his stiff shoulder: "Knowingly ask." I didn't agree when you chose the Four Princes, you insisted on going your own way and didn't listen to dissuasion, and now you want to convince me to help the seedling behind you? Even if there is no second prince, the fourth prince will definitely not be my choice. ”

"His Royal Highness is still young and has little experience, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, but when it comes to loyalty to the Yuan Kingdom, no one can match it." Jun Wunian lost his smile, and it was rare to get serious. Straightened up and walked to Wen Moqing's side, Jun Wunian played with a dusty folding fan, his eyes revealed the color of memory, and his tone became soft: "I understand your and Master's worries, Your Highness is simple and easy to trust others, you are afraid that he will one day be deceived and manipulated by traitors, but I am not afraid-when His Highness sacrificed his life to save him that year, I made up my mind that as long as I am not dead, I will definitely protect him to become the most virtuous king, and will not teach any sinister villains to approach him and pollute him." ”

"The human heart is unpredictable, how do you know that he will not trust others to abandon you in the future? Besides, you could have easily escaped that year, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be in danger, and he saved you? What a joke. ”

"It's enough for him to have this mind, so why bother pursuing the results?" Jun Wunian sighed and laughed at himself, "That's it, I won't force you, I should have known that your stubborn temper couldn't be pulled back by eight horses." You said before that you want me to pay attention to Miss Yan's safety in the palace for you, in exchange I can ask three questions, and you have to answer all questions, so remove the two just now, now I should ask you the third question, this question is related to Miss Yan - Mo Qing, why are you so protective of her? Back then, you didn't do it for Helian Ming. ”

Since the other people in Junzilou intervened, the questions about Yan Li's worries have always been sharp and abrupt, making it difficult for Wen Moqing to answer, and this time it was the same.

Sitting in the pile of miscellaneous things and silent for a long time, Wen Moqing suddenly got up, pushed Jun Wunian away, took the soaked sweat towel behind him and wiped his hands, and then stepped over many obstacles and stepped to the door of the stone room, and said in a light tone when he staggered by: "Because I am closest to her and the person who has watched her the longest, I know that she is very special, special to ......"

Wen Mo said half of the words, and the other half of the key content was unwilling to continue, Jun Wunian couldn't help but ask urgently: "What's so special?" Don't lose your appetite! ”

"I'll only allow you three questions, and this is the fourth, so there's no need to answer any more." Wen Moqing, who succeeded in his scheme, raised the corner of his mouth with a light smile, and patted Jun Wunian on the shoulder as if showing off, "You profiteer is not ready to do it, let's hone it for a few more years." ”

"You-surnamed Wen, you come back to me! Okay, it's okay if you don't answer, you owe me more than 40,000 taels of silver, right?! The surname is Wen! Don't pretend you can't hear! It is rare for Jun Wunian to jump to his feet in anger, Wen Moqing half raised his eyebrows and listened to the good show he concocted, strode towards the exit of the underground palace, leaving Jun Wunian, who had a gentle image and a big loss, shouted and shouted, and his demeanor was completely devoid.

After shouting for most of the day, his voice was hoarse, and when he saw Wen Moqing's steps disappearing at the corner of the corridor in a hurry, Jun Wunian knew that there was no hope of collecting debts, and sighed in frustration and then smiled bitterly: "It's just a second prince, but even the most untempting people are caught in it, it's really a ghost." You say yes, Asahan? ”

In the dark corner where the ever-bright lamp could not shine, a figure slowly emerged, still accustomed to the black and silver striped power suit, neat and cold.

"Did he find me?" Lou Qianhan said lightly.

"Well, probably, that's why you won't answer me." Jun Wunian spread his hands helplessly, "He won't honestly tell you the reason for protecting Yan Liwu, so he just makes you understand that his determination is difficult to shake." What are you going to do next, and continue to hunt down the poor girl? ”

Looking at the direction of Wen Moqing's disappearance, Lou Qianhan held his hands, still expressionless: "What do you want me to do, is to kill her and make Wen Moqing die, don't go astray again?" Or do you want me to spare her life, for the sake of your master's great cause? ”

"Great ambitions...... It's not so much Your Highness's ambition as it is my ambition. Jun Wunian took a deep breath and smiled, but a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, "We all know Moqing's character, if he is really worried about Yanli, it is impossible for him to be willing to give her to others in the end, and sooner or later he will have a conflict with the second prince he wants to support, which is indeed beneficial to His Royal Highness." But I also know that Moqing's pursuit of King Qinglian and his dedication to supporting a suitable crown prince are likely to be related to someone, and if we stop him for the sake of His Highness, maybe we won't be brothers in the future. The deep eyes suddenly flashed a trace of sadness, Jun Wunian turned his head and looked at Lou Qianhan blankly: "Qianhan, what do you think I should do?" ”

"Your business, you decide."

"yes, it's my own business......" Jun Wunian laughed dryly.

Probably seeing that Jun Wunian's expression was a little lonely, Lou Qianhan frowned slightly, thought about it and said in a low voice: "It is said that the four princes are innocent and simple, I don't think you and Wen Moqing are much better, one betrays the rules of the master for inexplicable reasons, one thinks he is ruthless but is more amorous than anyone else, plus a prince who is willing to give up his future for the sake of a woman, they are all extremely stupid." ”

"Hey, it's your junior brother, can't you keep some virtue? Mo Qing has only liked two women when he is so old, so he is not like you, who indulged in lust all night and never even asked what the other party's name was. There is also the second prince, how do you know that he has given up his future for the sake of his worries? Now he is still in the palace as his crown prince, as if he has never lost anything. ”

"Are you saying that the second prince is not sincere?" Lou Qianhan turned around and looked at Jun Wunian with the advantage of being half a head taller, "Does that woman know?" ”

Jun Wunian hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say anything bad about the second prince, at least for now, I see that the second prince really wants to talk away from right and wrong." In fact, compared to the second prince, what needs to be guarded against more is Chu Ci behind him. As a confidant of the first emperor but suddenly took the initiative to go to the second prince's mansion as a strategist, and is a rare genius who even the master wants to be included in the building, compared with the mysterious life experience that cannot be queried, Chu Ci's strength makes me care more, and he doesn't seem to want the appearance of Yan Liwu to disturb the road of the second prince to fight for the throne, if you look at it this way, it is really unpredictable where Yan Liwu will go. ”

"It's all useless nonsense, I just want to know what you want me to do with that woman."

I thought that I had finally found someone who could vomit quickly, but after some inference, I was coldly despised by a sentence, Jun Wunian sighed again and again, and thought for a long time before recovering his positive color: "Leave her behind." First, she is not the King of Qinglian, and it is not her fault that Moqing is attracted to her, no matter how she says it, she is a little innocent; Second, I also hope that she can play some role between Moqing and the second prince-"

Before Jun Wunian finished speaking, a cold light suddenly struck, and the cold long sword was quietly resting on his neck.

"Anyone's imperial business and anyone's future have nothing to do with me, but if you dare to use or hurt your own brothers, I will never spare it." The merciless gaze is as motionless as stagnant water, deep and bottomless.

Jun Wunian was silent for a moment under the threat of the long sword, suddenly chuckled, raised his hand and pushed away the sword: "Sure enough, the seemingly ruthless but most affectionate person will always be you, Senior Brother Lou." With a long breath brushing away a strand of hair that had been cut off by the sword qi, Jun Wunian smiled lightly: "Now I still have reason and can control my behavior, if one day I really become a wicked person who will do anything to achieve my goals and even hurt my fellow disciples, then I will ask Senior Brother Lou to stop me and use this sword to kill me with my own hands." ”

"If there is a day, I will definitely not show mercy."

"That's good."

The chaotic stone room fell silent for a while, no one spoke, Jun Wunian and Lou Qianhan tacitly walked outside the underground palace together, and when they arrived at the door separated by a wall from the light, Jun Wunian suddenly held down the stone door and said lightly: "The second prince has a negative mood from beginning to end, he has not enough preparation and expectations for ascending to the throne to govern the world, such a person, I will never agree." ”

The stone door slowly opened in a dull sound, the sun was abundant outside the door, and the spring breeze was slightly warm, reflecting Jun Wunian's peaceful but somewhat silent expression, like a young man's picture.

"Sometimes I'm glad that Moqing is a dull person in some way, of course, it may be that he himself deliberately pretended not to know, but anyway, no outsiders have realized that point - if it is a talent for governing the world, maybe Moqing is the right candidate for the emperor."
