Chapter Forty-Nine: Master Arrested
Shui Nan continued: "I've heard Juhe say that the prince seems to have some sincerity towards you. His enemy is the mountain god, not you. Your brothers, masters, and family members are all under the rule of the imperial power, and it is really dangerous for you to oppose him. ”
Yunjing suddenly felt that Shuinan's words were not unreasonable.
Since the time when she went out in distress with her senior brother in the Spirit Realm, she has experienced a series of unbelievable events, until the truth is finally revealed, knowing her true identity and the reason for her past life. Jue Li, Master, Jun Wei and others have never treated her as a mortal, and always want her to soar to immortality as soon as possible. But for now, she's just a mortal. No matter how great the goal ahead is, the predicament at this moment is also obvious. Does she really have to sacrifice everything she has now for the sake of an illusory future?
Needless to say, as an official of the imperial court, Daddy was already ostracized, and if he was affected by himself again, it would definitely hinder his career. Although Master is an outsider, but now that the enemy is present, with his character, he will definitely not sit idly by. What's more, now that he is trapped in the East Palace, he doesn't know what Jing Yuan will do to him. All kinds of situations forced her not to take care of herself.
However, it is very difficult for her to marry someone she hates against her will, and Jing Yuan is likely to use herself to contain Ju Li, if she agrees to the family affair, she will undoubtedly jump into the fire.
After settling Juhe and bandaging his wounds, Yunjing walked out of the Taoist courtyard and wanted to go to the East Palace to find out how the master was doing.
Jingshun and Feng Qing saw her come out, stepped forward and said, "Yunjing, where are you going?" ”
"Naturally, I went to the East Palace, I'm worried about Master."
Feng Qing said: "You fool, your master is willing to be captured in order to protect you, and you want to throw yourself into the net!" ”
"Yes, Xu Daochang is highly respected, the prince doesn't dare to do anything to him, it's dangerous for you to go."
"But I couldn't see Master, and my heart was uneasy. Just let me see it! ”
Jingshun said: "You don't know the art of stealth, and it is easy for them to detect it." I'll go for it. ”
Feng Qing pulled Yunjing back into the courtyard: "Let's go, go back to the house, let him take a look for you!" ”
Back in the house, Yun Jing sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a moment, Feng Qing told her that she was going out on duty, she reacted, grabbed Feng Qing, and asked, "You say, should I promise the prince?" ”
Feng Qing sat down next to Yunjing and said, "If you ask me, I can't answer it, it's your life left and right." People are alive, and they often can't help themselves. We, the goblins, have cultivated for so many years, and we are not free bodies. Many years ago, if it wasn't for the mountain god's protection, he would have been killed by Chiling's demon. He is now determined to deal with you, lest you will not escape. I heard Jingshun say that the demon's mana has grown again, and the mountain god may no longer be his opponent after a long time. When the time comes, you and I will not be able to escape. ”
"So we all have to become immortals as soon as possible, so that we can escape his clutches."
"We have also discussed in private that if you had relied on the Heavenly Realm Prince, Jinglin, you would have lived a glorious life. It seems that you, whether you are an immortal or a mortal, are a twisted seed. Feng Qing smiled, but there was some admiration in her eyes.
"So, you think I should go with the flow?" Yunjing said with some disappointment.
Feng Qing looked at her, "Don't ask others, ask your own heart." For a mortal, weddings and funerals are commonplace, but they are all solemn. If you don't come to Beishan and return to your home, you will eventually face the problem of getting married. At that time, will you marry or not? Who are you going to marry? This kind of thing, apart from the orders of parents, what did others do? ”
"If I never knew you, I guess I would have decided to marry by now. Because Daddy was too upright, he was often ostracized in the court. He was bent on finding a worthy family for me, and if there was such a family to propose, it was estimated that my father and mother would have agreed a long time ago. Yun Jing smiled bitterly, "If Daddy hadn't had a different political opinion from the prince, I'm afraid he would have already agreed to him!" ”
"What would you do if that were the case?"
"I'm just afraid of this, so I keep procrastinating and refusing to leave the White Crane Temple. Hey, what's the use of talking about this now, no matter what Jingyuan's purpose is, this trip to the troubled waters, I'm afraid I have to go. ”
"Are you willing to be an official?"
Yunjing was stopped by Feng Qing's question, and his heart chuckled, both soft and sad, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
She only said: "But my master is in the hands of Jingyuan!" ”
"If you are a believer, he will rescue your master."
Yunjing shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late." ”
After a cup of tea, Jingshun is back. Fortunately, Yizhu was injured and did not find him.
"Daochang Xu is fine." Jingshun said, "When I went, the prince invited him to tea. I listened closer, and they were actually discussing the war with the Jin Kingdom. ”
Yunjing stood up: "Really? The prince didn't embarrass the master? ”
"As far as I can see, there really isn't." Jingshun said.
"This prince is quite scheming, and the master slapped him, alarming many guards, I am afraid it has reached the ears of the emperor." Yunjing still couldn't put his mind at ease, and walked back and forth in the house.
Feng Qing also stood up, pulled Yun Jing and said, "No matter what, we can only wait until tomorrow." If the prince doesn't make a big deal out of it, there will still be room to turn around, and you're tired tonight, so rest first! ”
How is it possible for Cloudview to sleep? Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned.
Since she went up the mountain, Master's care for her has been vivid.
The master treated her like a reinvented parent, and now she has beaten the prince, and she doesn't know what punishment she will receive. Master has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but he has always cared about the people's weal and woe, and is willing to work hard for the people. If the emperor gets annoyed and drives him away, the master will be depressed.
If only he were away from his brother.
Feng Qing asked her words, and the words were still in her ears: "Are you willing to be an official?" ”
She couldn't tell how much of her reluctance to marry the prince was because she didn't want to take risks, and how much was because he wasn't her lover?
So does she already have a heart of promise to Kuoli?
Yunjing sighed.
If he came back and found that he had already married Jing Yuan, how would he react?
Thinking of his always affectionate eyes, Yun Jing's heart fluttered.
Can't promise Jingyuan, can't.
Inside the East Palace. Xu Duchen was placed under house arrest in a side hall.
The main hall was brightly lit, and Jing Yuan was discussing with people. The person who came was not someone else, it was Chi Ling.
His fierce eyes swelled with restlessness, and he questioned Jing Yuan: "That stinky Taoist priest injured Yizhu, why didn't you let me kill him?" ”
Jing Yuan replied: "Xu Duchen is highly regarded by the emperor, if he dies in the East Palace, I am afraid that the emperor will definitely be angry with me." When the time comes, you clap your hands and leave, how do I deal with it? ”
Chi Ling snorted coldly: "You are so afraid of four, how can you achieve great things?" Do you really regard that emperor Lao'er as your own son? ”
"After all, I have borrowed the body of the prince now, and when I see the emperor, I have to call my father, how can I do whatever I want?"
Chi Ling laughed: "You are a prince of the heavenly realm, but you are afraid of the human emperor, it is really ridiculous!" ”
"It was you who said it was convenient for me to borrow the body of the prince who should have died young, and now he is making fun of me, is it interesting? It's not early, please go back after reading Yizhu! If you're worried about her, take her away. ”
Chi Ling's smile froze on his face, and he said coldly, "Prince, don't you care about Yizhu at all?" ”
"Should I care about her?"
"She follows you to the lower realm and plans for you everywhere, the prince should be grateful."
"Everywhere you go...... Isn't that at your behest? When did it become all for me? ”
"Prince, you are deaf and clear-sighted, you won't not understand Yizhu's thoughts about you, right?"
"I really don't know, and I'll never want to know."
"What a hard-hearted man!"
Jing Yuan smiled: "Don't worry about my heart, it's just that I never thought that the demon king also had a heart, I thought that in your eyes there was only the word 'utilization'!" ”
The Demon King held back his anger and said, "It's okay if you don't like Yizhu, I just hope you don't learn from your obsessive brother and destroy it at the hands of a woman who doesn't care about you at all, not to mention, she is still the murderer who killed your brother." ”
Jing Yuan turned around and turned his back to the Demon King: "I don't need you to remind me, I know it in my heart." ”
"I hope so." After speaking, Chi Ling was gone.
Jing Yuan stood in place for a moment, confirming that he really just wanted to use Yunjing to catch Yu Li, and then interrogate the truth of the matter. So much for.
On the second day, after the early dynasty, Li Zhenggang, Zhang Yan and other prime ministers were discussing in the capital hall, and the emperor came.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have one thing to listen to your opinions."
Everyone hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
The emperor paced a few steps and said slowly: "Before the early dynasty, the crown prince came to see me, saying that he had some skirmishes with Xu Duchen and was injured by Xu Daochang......
Several prime ministers immediately muttered: "It's really bold to beat the prince." ”
"Daochang Xu has always been old-fashioned, why did he have a conflict with the prince?"
"Only His Majesty and Niangniang can beat the prince, no matter how much others take care of it, they can't beat it!"
Everyone talked about it, but only Li Zhenggang didn't say a word. He and Xu Duchen even made friends, and it was not appropriate to say anything at this time.
The emperor stopped the discussion: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me first. ”
The crowd was immediately silenced.
Originally, the prince wanted to report this matter to the early dynasty, but considering that Xu Duchen was highly respected, publicizing this matter might ruin his reputation, so he only told me in private, hoping that I could administer justice for him. Xu Daochang slashed the Yin Demon for me, went to the demon, and made great contributions, and I didn't want to punish him. What do you think? ”
A few prime ministers, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to speak first. On the one hand, he was the emperor's biological son, and on the other hand, he was his most important courtier, and everyone couldn't guess the holy will for a while, so they didn't dare to speak easily.
