Chapter 143: Life and Death in Your Own Hands (1)
Bidding farewell to Chu Shize, Chu Jun returned to the dormitory, Lin Jikuo practiced swords in the courtyard, and sat quietly to watch.
At the end of the paragraph, Lin Jikuo found Chu Junxi sitting on the side, and said while wiping his sweat, "When did you come back?" ”
"Soon, watching you practice swords didn't bother you." The warm sunlight shining on his body was very comfortable, and Chu Junxi looked down at his white fingers, "If I continue to stay here, will I cause you trouble." "After all, he is now the emperor of Gutuo, and he has a lot of state affairs to deal with.
"No, if you want to stay here, I'll stay here with you, and when you want to leave, we'll leave."
Chu Junxi's gaze stayed on his stomach, "Why are you so good to me?" ”
The corners of Lin Jikuo's mouth rose, and a light smile suppressed the brilliant Yangguan, "Because you are Yuanyuan, no matter what Yuanyuan wants to do, my brother will accompany you." ”
"Can I trust you?"
"Of course."
"Actually......" Chu Junxi hesitated, he was alone and had no ability, if he wanted to find out the truth about his father's killing, he would inevitably need Lin Jikuo's help.
"Actually, what?"
"The reason why I stayed is because I know the truth about my father's funeral, he didn't hang himself, but was killed."
The smile on Lin Jikuo's face disappeared, "So you stayed here to find out the truth and avenge your father?" ”
"Yes."
"I understand your desire to avenge your father, but what about the child in your womb? Don't you think about it for him? ”
"I'll take care of my children."
"Actually, you know it very well, don't you? You're no match for him at all, that's why you told me. Lin Jikuo took her into his arms distressedly, "No need to do this, no matter what, my brother will do it for you." ”
Chu Jun was silent, only the current emperor was the one who killed the first emperor, and if he was the inner eunuch, he would understand when he returned to the dormitory that night, but he didn't know what he was going to do? The battle in the palace has always been like this, people's desire for power is getting stronger and stronger, and Chu Shize is not the first to kill the king and kill his father in the past dynasties, and he will not be the last.
Do you really want to kill Chu Shize to avenge your father? If he really does this, it will not only cause Hou Yan's turmoil, but if Lin Jikuo participates in it, Gu Tuo will also be implicated.
Do you really want to do this?
The guards seemed to be searching for a palace maid who stole the master's jewelry, Chu Jun didn't care much, Lin Jikuo left, and she continued to sit in the corridor and look into the distance in a daze.
"Have you figured out what you're going to do?" The searching guards left, and Lin Jikuo once again did Chu Junxi's side, and his tone was brisk, as if he was asking her what she was eating for lunch.
"If it were you, what would you like me to do?"
"I hope you're safe."
"You are the emperor, and your father was also the emperor when he died, if you are killed, do you want your daughter to avenge you?"
Lin Jikuo stroked her head, "I hope you are safe." ”
Chu Junxi didn't wait for the inner prison who told him the truth, maybe it was inconvenient for him to see him. The flowers in the hands are delicate, and there are still early morning dewdrops on them, which are crystal clear. People love beautiful flowers, so they can't help but pick them down and appreciate them after seeing them, but they don't know that the branches are the home of flowers, only there can it live for a long time, if it is in the hand, even a day can not be bright. Maybe he can't be selfish for the sake of his children, his father is Hou Yan's emperor, and his duty is to protect Hou Yan's people, and he definitely doesn't like to burden the people for him.
For breakfast, Lin Jikuo put the porridge in front of Chu Junxi, "I've made up my mind, what should I do?" ”
Not a question, but an affirmation, Chu Junxi raised his head, "How can you see it?" ”
Lin Jikuo smiled lightly, "A few days ago, you were worried, but you were absent-minded when you ate with me, but today you have an appetite." ”
"I hope he can come with me to my father's tablet and put a stick of incense."
"I'll go with you after breakfast."
After passing through the imperial garden, Chu Junxi heard that there were two palace maids hiding in the corner and whispering, it was not easy for the palace people, and if they did not go along with the master's wishes, they would be punished, and the light ones would scold a few words, and the heavy ones might be beaten, and it was common for them to be injured. In their free time, several people get together to talk to each other, and it is reasonable to relieve the sorrow in their hearts.
Chu Junxi didn't take the two of them to heart, but after hearing the word 'crazy', he stopped his steps and listened attentively.
The old maid said, "It is better to die, and you will never have to suffer again." ”
The younger maid said, "I heard that he was the internal supervisor of the first emperor's side, and after the first emperor died, he went crazy for some reason." ”
"Be quiet." The older maid looked left and right for a while, and then whispered, "The emperor hates others talking about the first emperor the most, if it is heard, we will all die." ”
The slightly younger maid covered her mouth with a sigh, but she still couldn't help but be curious, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"The less you know, the better, don't ask what you shouldn't." The older maid left, and the younger one followed, "Even if you die, you can't do without the cannibalistic palace." ”
"Wait." Chu Junxi stopped the two, "When did the person you are talking about die?" No wonder I couldn't wait for him, it turned out that he was dead.
Secretly talking about the first emperor was heard by the master, and the two maids were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged for mercy again and again.
"I will not punish you, just tell me about the inner prison."
After making sure that the master was not angry, the old maid trembled and spoke, "He died before breakfast today, saying that he found the master's lost golden hairpin on him, so he was caught and beaten to death. ”
Chu Junxi thought of the guards who searched a few days ago, it was fake to find the palace people with unclean hands and feet, and it was true to arrest people, but he actually died because of himself.
"What happened to the body?"
"The errand man said that after breakfast, he would carry people out, and the dead minions would be in ......."
Chu Junxi knew about that place, and she left without waiting for her to finish speaking, and finished breakfast? Hopefully I'll be able to catch up. Because of the hurry, Chu Jun was a little panting, there was hot sweat on his forehead, and there was no half a figure on the straight long street.
Is it too late? Chu Jun wiped the fine sweat on his head, and turned his head to see several internal prisoners carrying stretchers walking towards this side, and the people on the stretcher were covered with white cloths, which should be them. Chu Junxi took a few steps forward and stepped forward.
"Yo, princess, you are now pregnant, and it is unlucky to see such unclean things." The messenger hurriedly said, "The slave should be damned, I didn't know that the princess was here, and I bumped into you, so we will go on a different route." ”
"No need." Chu Junxi uncovered the white cloth, sure enough, it was him, and he couldn't help but feel sad, he died in order to tell himself the truth, and he hurt him.
"It's not easy to survive in the palace, the princess grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she should be used to seeing life and death."
Chu Junxi turned around, Ling'er stood there with a meaningless expression, at this moment, Chu Junxi suddenly felt that she was so strange, as if she was not a person who had been with her for more than a month.
"The princess is pregnant, so it's better not to look at these dirty things."
"You're from the emperor, right?" Chu Junxi dodged her outstretched hand, "He sent you to spy on me, right?" "The subordinates around him were all brought from Gutuo, only Ling'er was sent by the emperor to serve him, and he would know that he met with the inner eunuch, and knew that he had something to tell himself, all of this was done by Ling'er, so he died.
Ling'er doesn't deny it, "You still know." ”
