Chapter 385: Promise Buddha (1)
When Zuo Gu master took action to pick Ke Qu'er away, in Han Jian's mind, this woman was already comparable to the old witch who destroyed the happiness of the young man.
Han Jian watched Ke Qu'er being held hostage by Zuo Gu, leaving behind a heartbroken expression. He hoped that his martial arts skills would be invincible in the world and would rob Ke Qu'er back. But he still knew it himself and could only sigh.
Because Han Jian did not order the pursuit, Zuo Gu easily fled with Ke Qu'er. Han Jian stood in the distance and felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that as long as Ke Qu'er's knot was untied, this little girl would find a chance to come back and meet him sooner or later, and would still fall into his arms.
"Young Master..."
Seeing that the assassin had walked away, the guard came over to salute and asked Han Jian for the next move.
Han Jian took back his spirit and walked towards the tent of the envoy of the Southern Qi Dynasty.
When he arrived at the envoy camp of the Southern Qi Dynasty, he saw Zhu Tongjing wiping the dust on his face with a dusty face with a towel. When he saw Han Jian, Zhu Tongjing calmed down and came to salute.
"Is Master Zhu seriously injured?" Han Jian looked at Zhu Tongjing and asked coldly.
Zhu Tong smiled and said, "I will save my life by asking your great blessings from King Dong. King Dong, how dare you ask, who are here to assassinate today, is it a rebellion?"
"Why should Master Zhu ask questions clearly?"
"It's just strange that these people in the grass are also enemies of the Wei Dynasty, why... The Eastern King seems to be very familiar with him. I heard that the Eastern King was interested in letting them go just now?" Zhu Tongjing said with a strange expression.
Han Jian didn't want to explain anything to Zhu Tongjing. He said coldly: "Master Zhu should take care of his own affairs. Now there are rioters who want to be unfavorable to Master Zhu. If you go south, Master Zhu will take care of him."
"Tong King is also taking care of himself." Zhu Tongjing remembered the critical moment of escaping his life. If Han Jian hadn't "sacrificed his life to save him", he might have been a dead soul under the sword, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitations.
Han Jian turned around and went outside the camp, signaling to leave some people to continue escorting Zhu Tongjing away from the Jiangdu territory. At the same time, he also pointed out that as long as Zhu Tongjing leaves the last town in Jiangdu, his life or death has nothing to do with Jiangdu. Even if Zhu Tongjing dies in the border wasteland, he will be unlucky.
After explaining the matter, Han Jian hurried back to Jiangdu. When Han Jian returned to the East Prince's Mansion, it was already midnight.
But Han Song was still waiting for Han Jian to come back.
"Jian'er, you left the city in such a hurry. But what happened outside the city?" Han Song saw Han Jian and saw that Han Jian was dirty and seemed to have a fierce fight. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
After Han Jian said a general about Ke Qu'er, Han Song nodded slightly and said, "As long as Jian'er, don't blame Er Niang, that's fine."
Han Jian knew that Han Song did everything for the sake of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Although Han Song was still a little pedantic and had a prejudice with hierarchical concepts, he was also sincere in helping him. He had nothing to be accustomed to.
"Second Mother, there's nothing to do, I'll go back to the room first." Han Jian thought of his beautiful wife in the room and wanted to go back earlier.
"Jian'er, why are you not in a hurry when the ten-day deadline is approaching? Or you have already made a decision. Even if Your Majesty doesn't come back, you still know what to do?" Han Song said with some concern.
Han Jian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Some things cannot be forced. Even if His Majesty does not return, Jiangdu will always be Jiangdu."
Han Song was slightly stunned and considered Han Jian's words. She heard Han Jian's words with a little perfunctory look. However, in the current situation, she really had no better way.
"Jian'er, go back first, don't let Xin'er wait in a hurry. I'll send a letter to your Sanniang and ask her to step up the Taoist temples around her and then look for them. There should be news."
Han Jian nodded slightly and went back to the room.
Originally, Han Jian thought he hadn't come back very late, but Gu Xin'er and Wen'er had already fallen asleep. When they arrived at the inner courtyard, they saw the maid on the night side and realized that the two girls were still not sleeping and waiting for him.
Han Jian went outside his bedroom, and there was a light inside. By the open window, he saw Wen'er yawning constantly, and obviously he was already very tired. Gu Xiner was writing and painting.
Han Jian opened the door and Wen'er screamed in surprise: "Young Master is finally back!"
As he said that, he jumped over and pulled Han Jian's arm, as if he was recovering. Gu Xin'er also walked over, Tingting bowed and helped Han Jian take off his coat.
"Xin'er, why haven't you sleep? It's so late, I'm having some business operations to bother you." Han Jian said apologetically.
Gu Xin'er smiled, and Wen'er next to her interrupted, "Sister Xin'er said that since the young master will come back today, we can't go to bed early. This is a woman's saying..."
Han Jian held Gu Xiner's hand, and in addition to apologizing, there was also a sense of warmth in his heart.
After getting married like this, Han Jian knew that he shouldn't have any evil thoughts, but in the end he couldn't help thinking about other women. This made him feel guilty.
Han Jian picked up Gu Xin'er. Gu Xin'er was attacked like this and exclaimed, but Han Jian could not help but carry her to the bed without saying anything. Wen'er next to her clapped her hands happily, but Han Jian pointed to the window. Wen'er stuck out her tongue and knew that she had to avoid the eyes and ears of people to do "big things". So she hurried over and closed the window. When closing the window, she also ordered the maids who were paying attention to the night outside to go back and rest, and not allow them to get too close.
When she came back, Han Jian had already had a crush on Gu Xiner. Wen'er was not willing to be outdone, so she untied her clothes and went to bed.
...
...
Three days passed in a flash.
The ten-day deadline was soon reached. As soon as Han Jian got up, guards came to report that the officials of the court had gathered in the mansion east of the city before dawn, meaning that they wanted to see the queen come out to meet with the court officials.
"Jian'er, your Sanniang just wrote yesterday, saying that there is no news about His Majesty yet. It seems... you can only deal with it yourself." Han Song came to the inner courtyard to see Han Jian in person and said to Han Jian worriedly.
Han Jian patted Han Song's shoulder and signaled her to reassure her. At this time, Gu Xin'er walked out. Although she felt that Han Jian had something to do these days, she couldn't guess even if Han Jian didn't say it. At this time, she heard Han Song's words that she realized that the queen had not been in Jiangdu for the past six months.
Without breakfast, Han Jian went to Chengdong Mansion with Han Song.
When the Dongwang Mansion and his party arrived, the entire Chengdong Mansion was already bustling with people. Not only were there court officials, but also many officials from the Dongwang Mansion. Because the Queen has always claimed that she was sick and did not see anyone, her safety has become the most concerned thing in Jiangdu at present. Especially when Luoyang has been in turmoil.
"Dongwang, you're here." Han Jian stood still, and Lin Ke came to see Han Jian in a cold sweat.
Originally, he thought he could control the overall situation, but the current situation was beyond the control. If these officials could not see the queen, and clamor and make trouble again, what consequences would be caused. Lin Ke could roughly guess that once these officials caused trouble, the Dongwang Mansion would definitely not sit idly by and watch, and it would be difficult to end peacefully. Once something happened, it would be a trivial matter, and it was very likely that the Dongwang Mansion and the Wei court would completely break up. The Wei court was only under the Dongwang Mansion for the time being, and it would be a nameless thing. If such a thing happened, the Wei court would not survive.
"Shangshu Lin, it's all good things you did." Han Jian said coldly.
"The King of the East... Let's see how it ended." Lin Ke said nervously.
At this time, Gu Weipan and several other important ministers from the court came over to inquire about the Queen's condition.
"His Majesty's illness has not been cured yet?" Gu Weipan came up and asked.
Han Jian knew that Gu Weipan was asking questions knowingly, and the Queen was not in Jiangdu at this time, so Gu Weipan was very clear. He asked this, just to find a way for Han Jian. Then he said that the Queen's condition had not recovered and could continue to delay.
But Han Jian knew that it would be difficult to delay the situation at the moment. If the queen was sick, they would definitely be excited to break through.
Han Jian glanced at Lin Ke and said, "Shangshu Lin, where is the niece now?"
Lin Ke was a little stunned and thought to himself that he was sent back by you a few days ago. Now he still asks?
"Ah? This...man is in the house..."
"Did she explain your majesty's condition?" Han Jian continued to ask.
"This..." Lin Ke's head was covered in cold sweat. Han Jian obviously put the blame on him. He didn't know how to respond at the moment.
If the Queen's condition is improved, then these people will go in to see the Queen. If the disease has not yet been cured, these people will still go in to see each other. Things that are not pleasing to the left and right.
"The official... I really don't know much. My niece may not be able to cure His Majesty's condition. She also asked His Highness the Eastern King to atone for his sins."
Lin Ke said this and the ministers next to him were in an uproar.
Lin Ke said that it seemed that the Queen's condition had not improved yet, so how could these people give up easily?
An old minister shouted, "Shangshu Lin, what do you mean? The doctor you found said that you could cure Your Majesty's illness within ten days. If it is not cured now, but you have to be punished?"
"Yes, punish the crime!" The people next to him followed.
Lin Ke complained in his heart, and at this time he could also look at Han Jian with a look of help.
Han Jian suddenly raised his hand to calm everyone down.
"Everyone, your Majesty is indeed not in the bedroom now." Han Jian said aloud.
This time, not only were the people around him in an uproar, but even some people who knew the inside story could not have expected that Han Jian would be so "telling the truth".
"Dongwang, what do you mean? Your Majesty is not in the bedroom. Is it that you were under house arrest by your Dongwangfu as rumored by the outside world?" Some ministers asked directly.
"The Eastern Prince's Mansion dares not do such a presumptuous thing." Han Jian said coldly, "Your Majesty's condition has improved a lot recently, so he often goes out for a walk. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he always walks alone. Now, Your Majesty is meditating and worshiping Buddha, which is not convenient to meet people."
"Ah?" The people present were uproared again.
"Jian'er, what are you talking about?" Han Song came up to pull Han Jian's sleeve and whispered to remind him.
