After everyone came out of the temple of self-cultivation, they still had lingering palpitations, and everything that had happened before was constantly replaying in their minds.

When Yan Song came out, he didn't stand firm and almost fell down the steps, but fortunately, Yan Shifan on the side was quick and barely held Yan Song.

"Father, are you alright?"

Yan Shifan carefully checked Yan Song's current situation, and his face was full of worry.

"Yes, Elder Yan Ge, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, also stepped forward and asked with a concerned face.

"It's okay, I'm fine, we've passed today's level."

Yan Song waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and Yan Shifan also let go of his hand when he saw this.

"Alas, yes, we're walking before the ghost gate closes!"

Xu Jie also agreed with Yan Song's words, and then sighed.

"It's not too early, you better go back and rest early, I can't stand this old bone."

After Yan Song finished speaking, he went down the steps tremblingly under the support of Yan Shifan.

"Why didn't you just smash your old thing to death!"

Xu Jie looked at Yan Song's departing figure and thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xu Jie turn around and look at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and said so.

"In that case, let's leave too."

"Hmm."

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, after answering imperceptibly, followed Xu Jie's steps and left the Heart Cultivation Hall together.

At this moment, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, only Jiajing and Lu Fang were left.

I saw Jiajing turn his gaze to Lu Fang on the side and command softly.

"It's not too early, you should go back and rest early!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave obeys."

When Lu Fang heard the emperor's words, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and he responded respectfully.

Then, after Lu Fang saluted Jiajing, he paced and walked towards the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Don't forget what I told you earlier!"

Just as Lu Fang was about to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace, Jiajing's voice came from behind him.

I saw Lu Fang's footsteps pause, and then turned around, the respectful look on his face remained unchanged, and he responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will take care of things."

……

Tonight, Hai Rui didn't fall asleep.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that I don't feel sleepy.

It stands to reason that after cleaning up the house for a day, Hai Rui should feel tired, but the truth is the opposite, Hai Rui not only did not have the slightest sleep, but was also very energetic.

Looking at his wife, who was already asleep, Hai Rui tiptoed up from the bed, and then secretly came to the study and lit the candle.

Hai Rui looked at the neatly stacked books in front of him, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of stability in his heart, and then he picked up a thick book and began to study it carefully.

After a while, a figure appeared in front of Hai Rui, but Hai Rui did not notice it in the slightest, and was still immersed in the knowledge in the book.

I saw that this figure was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, until it blocked all the candles in front of Hai Rui, and Hai Rui reacted.

When he raised his head suddenly, he saw the angry face of his wife, Wang.

I saw Hai Rui retract his gaze and take the lead in asking.

"What's wrong, what's the matter?"

When Hai Rui's wife, Wang, heard this, she instantly became furious and spoke.

"Don't you look at it, what time is it now, and you haven't slept yet!"

"Tomorrow you will go to the Inspectorate to report, if you don't have a good rest, when you deal with the affairs of the imperial court, if something goes wrong, I will see how you explain!"

Seeing this, Hai Rui's tone couldn't help but soften and comforted.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart, but I don't feel sleepy for the time being."

"You go back and rest first, I'll come over later."

Hai Rui's wife, Wang, saw Hai Rui like this, a trace of worry flashed on her face, and she immediately asked.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, the husband hasn't officially gone to work yet, what can happen?"

Hai Rui withdrew his gaze from his wife and explained.

"That said, it seems to be the same!"

"Then you come over and rest early."

After Hai Rui's explanation, Wang also reacted, and then he yawned and left the study.

……

The capital, Yuwang's Mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Zaikun's face was full of panic, and he kept pacing around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Husband, if you don't rest so late, is something wrong?"

After Concubine Li received the report from her subordinates, she directly pushed open the door of Zhu Zaikun's room and asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little thing."

"It's not too early, you should go back and rest quickly!"

Faced with his wife's inquiry, Zhu Zaikun subconsciously looked away and responded casually.

"No, it must not be a trivial matter to be able to make you so worried, husband!"

"Is it related to recent events?"

Concubine Li was very keenly aware of Zhu Zaikun's mood at this moment, frowned slightly, and asked.

Concubine Li, as the concubine who gave birth to a son for Zhu Zaikun before, naturally won her favor.

Therefore, he is still aware of what is happening in the entire Yuwang Mansion.

When Zhu Zaikun sent someone to give gifts to the imperial concubine before, although Concubine Li felt that something was wrong, after all, this was a decision made by her husband, and as a woman, she was not easy to interfere with.

Besides, the matter of giving gifts to the imperial concubine first started from King Jing's side!

In order not to let her husband fall behind in this, Concubine Li adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye.

Right now, seeing her husband in such a panic, Concubine Li knew very well that something must have happened.

"Husband, as your concubine, what difficulties do you encounter, we should face them together!"

Then, I saw Concubine Li come to Zhu Zaikun's side and quietly clenched Zhu Zaikun's hands.

Seeing this, Zhu Zaikun's face was full of helplessness, and after sighing, he finally chose to tell everything and everything.

"Here's the thing, according to the report of the subordinates, not long ago, people from the East Factory came to the door and arrested all the people who had done things for Gu before!"

"It is said that this was on the orders of my father."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, my father's side will ......"

When Zhu Zaikun said this, his face was full of worry.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what you say, you are also Your Majesty's son."

"When the time comes, just admit your mistake."

After listening to Zhu Zaikun's narration, Concubine Li was also silent for a long time, and then comforted her.

"Well, I hope so!"

I saw Zhu Zaikun sigh helplessly and responded.

"That husband, are you still waiting for Xu Ge Lao and them?"

After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Li confirmed to Zhu Zaikun.

"Well, yes, Lone is still waiting for news from Xu Ge's side."

Zhu Zaikun didn't hide it at all, but nodded and responded.

Just as Concubine Li was about to admonish, a report from her subordinates came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Elder Xu Ge and they are waiting outside the door at the moment!"

"Oh, what are you still doing, let them in!"

After Zhu Zaikun learned the news from his subordinates, he immediately commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The subordinate answered and left in a hurry.

And Concubine Li's eyes also flashed a hint of gloom, and she said so after saluting Zhu Zaikun respectfully.

"Since Xu Ge Lao and they are here, the concubine should also leave."

"It's not too early, so let's go back and rest early."

At this moment, because Zhu Zaikun's attention was no longer on Concubine Li's side at all, he didn't notice Concubine Li's strangeness at all.

A moment later, Xu Jie and the others, under the leadership of the guards, entered the Yuwang Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuwang Zhu Zaikun hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"What did my father say?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie and the others looked at each other with a sad face, and said so.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said ......"
