Chapter 65: Sincerity

He thought of the seven horses that ran to death, and the assassins who were killed by their masters because they blocked their master's path along the way, rest in peace, although they died a little unjustly, but accept their fate.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it, and felt that it was not good for people to misunderstand Zhou Rui'an because of beauty, so he opened his mouth to explain for him: "Actually, your master is not entirely because of me, he knows that I will not say such things easily, so something must have happened in the capital, so he rushed back in such a hurry, in fact, he himself is still very wise and martial, Luobei, don't misunderstand him." ”

Luo Bei asked innocently, "...... Really? I know that our master has always been wise and wise! ”

"Well, it's true," Zhou Ruian replied and looked at Jiang Qingyue: "I'm worried that you are alone in the capital, and you can't cope with something wrong." ”

Luo Bei: "......" Why did he break in so much early in the morning? Is that what you're looking for?

Jiang Qingyue was very worried about Zhou Rui'an's image, and decided to change the topic: "By the way, what are you going to do about Liu Fu?" ”

Zhou Ruian sneered: "Since he dares to betray me, you have to be ready," After a pause, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue and saw that she seemed to be a little worried, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, don't care, except for you, nothing else can stump me." ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively glanced at Luo Bei.

Luo Bei: "??? "Who is he? Where is he? Why is he here?

Zhou Ruian touched Jiang Qingyue's head, turned around and strode out.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

"Enter the palace."

Emperor Xuande knew that Zhou Rui'an was back, and immediately made a fire: "A group of rice buckets!" Why can't this be done? There are so many people, even one Zhou Ruian can't deal with it! Is my shadow guard too incompetent, or is Zhou Ruian really powerful enough to be so powerful? ”

The leader of the shadow guard knelt on the ground in silence and confessed, not daring to say more.

Emperor Xuande was so angry that he felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't help but hold on to the table, and the chamberlain on the side hurriedly came over to support him.

Emperor Xuande took a deep breath, the feeling of dizziness was slightly reduced, and the chamberlain said worriedly: "Your Majesty, please come and have a look?" The dragon body matters. ”

Since Emperor Xuande knew that Princess Ningyang was transferred, Emperor Xuande's body had problems, probably because he should have been shocked and angry at that time, resulting in dizziness, as long as he was angry, he would be sick, but Emperor Xuande didn't let him say anything, and no one dared to say more.

Before Emperor Xuande could speak, the eunuch guarding the door outside came in and reported: "Zhou Rui'an asks to see." ”

Of course, Emperor Xuande could not show weakness in front of Zhou Rui'an, and soon let people bring him in.

As soon as Zhou Rui'an saw Emperor Xuande, he raised his hand to salute, Emperor Xuande glanced at him coldly, and said angrily: "You dare to come back!" With that, he threw out the teacup at hand!

The teacup fell at Zhou Rui'an's feet, the tea spilled out, and Zhou Rui'an's face did not change: "The minister has a clear conscience, so he naturally dares to come back to meet the emperor!" ”

Emperor Xuande looked at Zhou Rui'an's calm and composed, and he was angry in his heart, as if he had seen King Jin many years ago, as if nothing could shake his emotions, King Jin was always so calm, even if his emotions were exposed, he only showed a heroic and hearty laugh.

Whenever the King of Jin had achieved good results in horsemanship or swordsmanship, he would laugh and look up, and their father would look at him with such a pleasing and loving eye.

Later, the king of Jin died, and the first emperor was grief-stricken.

But whether it was relieved or sad, the expression of the former emperor was never shown to him.

I don't know why, it may be that Princess Ningyang's matter stimulated him, Emperor Xuande has always thought of his father and King Jin recently.

At this time, seeing Zhou Rui'an, who was so similar to King Jin, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.

"Your Majesty, since someone has sued me, I am willing to confront him face to face!" Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xuande said: "Go and call the four princes of Tatar to come over." ”

Zhou Rui'an walked like this for more than two hours, and there was no news from Luobei when he sent someone to inquire about the movement, Jiang Qingyue was anxious, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

They didn't know the situation in the palace, so they couldn't act rashly, but they were worried that Zhou Rui'an would not be safe in the palace.

Luo Bei thought more: "Gongzi Jiang, do you think our master has been killed?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Qingyue glared at him fiercely: "Don't crow's mouth!" Is it so easy for your master to be killed? ”

Luo Bei hurriedly said: "But it's been so long, why hasn't our master come back yet?" ”

"Don't worry, this matter is not a trivial matter, I'm afraid it will be delayed, don't worry, the emperor can't kill your master now, the emperor is a person who wants to be famous, if it weren't for the conclusive crime, he wouldn't easily move him." Jiang Qingyue didn't know whether to comfort himself or Luobei.

Even if Jiang Qingyue knew rationally that Zhou Ruian might be fine, he couldn't help but stand up and walk anxiously.

But the strange thing is that it is almost dark, the palace gate is about to be locked, and Zhou Ruian has not come back, and Jiang Qingyue can't sit still.

"I'll go find the second prince to find out the news."

Since the second prince started to run errands, he didn't live in the palace, but lived in the prince's mansion outside, Jiang Qingyue went directly to the prince's mansion, but the second prince was not in the mansion!

The subordinates of the prince's mansion all knew Jiang Qingyue and knew that she was very dignified in front of the second prince, so they politely invited Jiang Qingyue into the mansion.

Jiang Qingyue was really anxious, but she had no other way than the second prince, so she had to wait until it was dark and the second prince did not come back.

"Where have you two princes gone?" Jiang Qingyue asked the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion.

"If you go back to Lord Jiang, how can the minions know where this master is?" The butler replied unhurriedly.

Jiang Qingyue saw that it was not good to stay any longer at this time, so he planned to go back to see the situation first, what if Zhou Ruian had already gone back?

Jiang Qingyue got up to say goodbye, and after the housekeeper sent the people away, he went to the palace to deliver the news.

After Jiang Qingyue went back, Zhou Ruian still didn't come back.

Luo Beidao: "I just sent someone to contact our inner line in the palace, but now the news can't get in!" After a pause, he said anxiously: "Now that the palace has been under martial law, what is going on?" Will our master ......?"

Jiang Qingyue said in a deep voice: "Don't panic first, let's see the situation first, the second prince is not in the mansion." ”

What the hell is going on in the palace?

Luo Bei stomped his feet: "What can I do about this?" Will something happen to the master in the palace? ”

"In this way, let's wait a little longer, and when it's all dark, if he hasn't come out yet, I'll go to the palace at night!" Jiang Qingyue said in a deep voice.

Luo Bei was startled, and then instinctively spoke: "No! After a pause, he calmed down a little, and even rejected the proposal: "No, Jiang Gongzi, you can't have any more accidents, the inner courtyard of this palace is not so easy to explore, if something happens to you, our master will not be crazy when he comes back?" ”

Jiang Qingyue also knew that it was too risky to do this, but she was really worried about Zhou Rui'an, and this worry made her feel uneasy.

The palace will not let the ministers stay overnight, this is not in line with the rules at all, it is the prince, and when he is old, he will go out of the palace to choose the mansion, so Zhou Ruian did not come back, but he stayed in the palace but his life and death were uncertain, Jiang Qingyue and Luobei would be so anxious.

But now they don't even know what's going on inside.

As soon as the morning dawned, Jiang Qingyue went to the second prince's mansion again to inquire about the news, and this time Jiang Qingyue happened to meet the second prince returning home.

The second prince was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Qingyue, and then he understood: "Qingyue, you are here for Zhou Rui'an, right?" ”

Jiang Qingyue bowed slightly, carefully looked at the expression of the second prince, and found that his face was full of tiredness, but his expression was quite calm, and his heart was slightly relieved.

"Yes, Second Highness, the prince hasn't come out since he entered the palace yesterday, what happened? Please also ask His Royal Highness to show the way! Jiang Qingyue said sincerely.

The second prince didn't speak, but just glanced at Jiang Qingyue deeply, Jiang Qingyue felt a little uneasy in his heart, Zhou Ruian really won't have an accident, right?

The second prince opened his mouth and said lightly: "Let's go in first." ”

Jiang Qingyue was apprehensive, let alone the attitude of the second prince, but she was now desperate, so she had to follow him into the mansion.

As soon as the second prince entered the hall, he instructed the subordinates on the side: "I tossed all night, but I didn't have anything to eat, go, let someone send something over." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Qingyue came so early, so he must have no food, just accompany me to use a little." ”

Jiang Qingyue had a request for others, so he could only be patient, and the second prince sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, he seemed to be really tired, and did not speak again.

It wasn't until breakfast was delivered that the second prince took Jiang Qingyue to the table.

Like the identity of the second prince, he pays attention to eating without saying a word, so he can't speak when he eats, such a toss, Jiang Qingyue's patience is about to run out, and finally when Jiang Qingyue can't help it, the second prince puts down his chopsticks.

"Qingyue, I think I treat you well, when I was in Liuzhou, you saved me, I am also very grateful to you, I can give you the dignity, and I have asked for a reward for you more than once, but why do you always treat Zhou Ruian closer?" The second prince looked at Jiang Qingyue and asked bluntly.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, she was really stunned, she didn't expect the second prince to ask this question, and when she met his serious eyes, she suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

The second prince is indeed good to her, not to mention that she is as kind as a mountain, but she has given her the dignity and rewards that she can give, but she has never been able to be loyal to him, and the second prince is not stupid, so he naturally sees her attitude, so he will ask this.

In fact, think about it, the second prince didn't do anything wrong, when he was in Liuzhou before, the second prince showed greed for life and fear of death, and was afraid of going to the battlefield, which is understandable, after all, not everyone has the courage to fight on the battlefield, not to mention that he was born from a noble background and couldn't face such a situation.

In addition to not being brave and resolute enough, many things that the second prince did were actually worthy of his identity, it can only be said that his identity limited his behavior, as a prince, his behavior is actually understandable, such as rescuing the captured Su Liangyi at that time, and for example, later re-investigating the corruption case, these two princes did an excellent job.

Although the second prince has his own purpose in doing these things, from his point of view, he is right to do so.

Just looking at his valued subordinates, he is also a little uneasy about Zhou Rui'an, right?

So Jiang Qingyue thought about it very seriously, and then replied to him: "Your Highness, it's because between people, in addition to decency and reward, you also need sincerity." ”

The second prince was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly: "Qingyue, Qingyue, do you know that you are probably the only one in the world who will answer me like this." ”

Jiang Qingyue said sincerely: "Your Highness asked me bluntly, I naturally want to reply to Your Majesty bluntly, and I dare not deceive." ”

The second prince sighed slightly in his heart, "I seem to have really understood you today, Qingyue." ”

Jiang Qingyue is the kind of person who treats others as she treats her, and the second prince, he has been in a high position for too long, and the people around him are all to reward him for doing his best, and he naturally wants to reward him for doing a good job, he is used to this way.

But this set of inherent patterns is useless to Jiang Qingyue, and it is no wonder that she can't get her sincerity.

The second prince smiled slightly and said: "I know what you are doing, it's not a big deal, yesterday Zhou Ruian and I were in the palace, and today we went out of the palace together, it is estimated that we should have arrived home by this time." ”

Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up, and he no longer asked what happened last night, so he stood up directly and said goodbye.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me!"

The second prince bowed his head lightly, watched her turn away, his eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "But no one has ever taught me what is sincerity." ”

Jiang Qingyue returned home, Zhou Ruian had just entered the door, and Luo Bei was talking to him: "Jiang Gongzi just went to the Second Prince's Mansion to inquire about the news......

Zhou Rui'an frowned, and Jiang Qingyue came back.

Jiang Qingyue saw him and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What the hell is going on? Didn't you enter the palace yesterday to confront you? Why didn't you come back for so long? ”

Zhou Ruian pulled her to sit aside, but her expression was a little ugly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's the emperor who has something." ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty? ”

"Yesterday, the emperor called Tuoba Gang to confront me, but suddenly fainted and fell unconscious, Tuoba Gang was also there at the time, I was worried that he would leak the news, so I suppressed the news, that is, the imperial doctors were quietly announced into the palace." Zhou Rui'an explained.

Jiang Qingyue then understood that Emperor Xuande's physical condition was very important, if there was something wrong with his body, Tuoba Gang saw it again, maybe it would affect the progress of peace talks, in case Tatar took advantage of Emperor Xuande's illness to raise troops to attack, Dajing would be in danger, so he left Tuoba Gang in the palace at that time.

"Later, the queen called the second prince over, and the second prince also knew the seriousness of the matter, and personally guarded outside the emperor's bedroom, but fortunately, the emperor was only angry for a while, and he was already sober in the morning." Zhou Ruian said: "At that time, things happened suddenly, and there was no time to deliver the news, which made you worried. ”

Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "What about you?" ”

Zhou Ruian shook his head: "It's okay, there may have been a little trouble, but this time I helped cover up the news and confessed to the emperor again, it will be fine." ”

Jiang Qingyue frowned: "I'm worried that this matter is not so simple, this Liu Fu has only appeared for so long, and I am afraid that Tuoba Gang still has a back hand." ”

"Don't worry, he doesn't know much, and he can't make big waves." Zhou Ruian said, his eyes flashed.

Jiang Qingyue looked at his expression, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "You're going to do it?" ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at her with a slight stunnedness, she really didn't know what her mind was thinking, he didn't say anything, she had already seen his intentions.

Zhou Ruian smiled slightly, stepped forward and shook Jiang Qingyue's hand: "It's good, I decided to join the gang immediately, otherwise, if I put you outside, I will really have trouble sleeping." After a pause, he couldn't help asking, "How can you tell I'm going to do it?" ”

"Emperor Xuande's health is in a condition, if he is really not good, pass the throne to the second prince, and then you will think about it again, but it will not be so justifiable." Jiang Qingyue said expressionlessly.

Even if the death of the King of Jin that day is strange, it is Emperor Xuande who did the wrong thing, and the lights go out when people die, if Emperor Xuande dies, many things will not be pursued again, after all, no one will investigate the fault of the dead, at this time, Zhou Ruian will become a chaotic minister and thief.

With Zhou Rui'an's character, he would not let himself fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Zhou Ruian nodded: "I have this idea, but this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

As the two were talking, Luo Bei walked in with a strange expression.

"Master, Jiang Gongzi, the second prince just sent a lot of things, saying yes, saying that it was for Jiang Gongzi." Luo Bei said, quietly glancing at Jiang Qingyue, his eyes indignant.

Jiang Qingyue pointed at himself inexplicably: "Me? What are you sending? ”

There are a lot of things sent, precious herbs, as well as satin cloth, and a spear was sent over, Jiang Qingyue couldn't put it down as soon as he saw the spear, the silver gun body, the red Yingluo hanging, the gun was extremely sharp, Jiang Qingyue liked it at a glance.

The person who came to deliver the things said: "His Royal Highness said that these are not very precious things, but he is sincere." After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness said again, Lord Jiang must not be able to get out of his body at this time, so there is no need to thank him, and Lord Jiang is willing to accept things, which is to thank him for his grace." ”

Zhou Rui'an: "......"

Jiang Qingyue nodded with a smile: "Then you also thanked Your Highness for me!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was happy, the subordinate also smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The villain said goodbye." ”

Luo Bei on the side muttered there: "These are all sugar-coated shells, sugar-coated shells!" ”

Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue expressionlessly and touched the body of the gun with a helpless face, "Just now, you really went to the Second Prince's Mansion to inquire about my news?" ”

Jiang Qingyue blinked, and his tone was firm: "That's nature!" ”

Zhou Ruian snorted lightly, looking at Jiang Qingyue touching the spear, he was annoyed, he gave the horse, why did he forget to send the weapon? He just thought that Jiang Qingyue had returned to the capital, and under his wings, there would be no danger, so he was careless, and as a result, he gave the second prince a chance.

Jiang Qingyue just felt a little funny, it seemed that the second prince was quite obsessed with this sincere heart, she didn't feel anything, but Zhou Ruian obviously didn't think so.

In the past two days, Zhou Ruian hid in the study every day, and then ran out for several days, and finally mysteriously got back a spear.

"This is a drawing I drew myself, and I found the best craftsmen, made of fine iron, exactly like the one you used before! It's much better than those showcases that are useless at first glance. Zhou Ruian said with a look of disgust.

Jiang Qingyue took it funny, with a helpless look, "By the way, how long are you going to be suspended?" Is there still no progress in the case of Weiyuan Dart Bureau? ”

"I know Guan Youwei is still secretly investigating, but the progress is very slow." Zhou Ruian said casually: "The people behind this scene, who dare to commit crimes in the capital with such a big deal, must have no fear, and a Guan Youwei is afraid that he will not be able to find out anything." ”

"What then?" Jiang Qingyue asked suspiciously: "And my life experience, have you found any clues in that half of the swaddling clothes?" ”

Zhou Ruian nodded: "I was about to tell you about this, I have already found someone to see it, the embroidery on the half of the swaddling clothes is a little unusual, I am afraid that there are some origins, I have already gone to find the embroidery girl who understands this embroidery method, I will take you to see her in a while." ”

Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

The two went out quickly, and Jiang Qingyue was still in a good mood and brought out Xiaobai.

Zhou Ruian took Jiang Qingyue to a house in the west of the city, and Zhou Ruian stopped his horse.

"That's it."

The two turned over and dismounted, and walked in together, and there were guards outside, and they saw Zhou Rui'an asking for a peace.

"Stand down, don't come here without my orders."

The guards retreated, Zhou Ruian pushed open the door, and led Jiang Qingyue in, there was an old lady in her sixties inside, with a trace of panic on her face, and when she saw someone coming in, she couldn't help but shrink back.

"Auntie, don't be afraid, I invited you over, I just have something I want to ask you." Zhou Ruian said lightly.

Zhou Ruian had tried his best to make a gentle expression, but he was born with a cold and noble appearance, without the slightest comfort, but made people feel like he was threatening.

Jiang Qingyue is not the kind of person who takes the affinity route, so she thought about it and said, "As long as you say what you know, we won't embarrass you, but if you hide something, do you see him?" Commander of the Jinyi Guard, it's not a matter to kill someone or something. ”

"Yes, yes, the women must know everything!" The old lady said hurriedly.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Jiang Qingyue, and then took out the half of the swaddling clothes from his arms.

"Do you know the embroidery on this?" Zhou Ruian asked.
