Chapter 126: There are ears in the partition wall

"Not good, Lord Gate is here..." The jailer hurried in, "You guys are so fast... it's too late..."

"What should I do?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"You are hiding inside," the prison guard opened a cell. Zhen'er hurriedly took the things and entered the cell. He heard a bang outside and locked it.

"Oh no..." Zhu Qizhen said, "I can't get out."

"No hurry..." Zhen'er said, "Master, just wait... Don't make a sound, we can hear the sound next door."

"This is so dirty..." Zhu Qizhen suddenly said, and Zhen'er quickly spread her cloak on the ground: "Master, just sit on the cloak with grievance!"

"Sit together!" Zhu Qizhen said, "This place is still acceptable... cleaner than the Oirat military camp."

Zhen'er is not a conservative person either, and this cloak is big enough.

The footsteps of the next cell were getting closer and closer, and both of them pricked up their ears. What others said must stand the scrutiny, and only their own ears could believe the truth. Menda entered the cell.

"Is Mr. Yuan comfortable?" Yuan Bin suffered from punishment and was in pain all over his body. How could he feel comfortable?

"What else is wrong with the commander of the door?" Yuan Bin echoed.

"The purpose of my visit, Commander Yuan has known a long time ago. The documentary is also ready..." It was Menda's voice, "I'll drink tea, you guys continue, and hit him until he's stamped..."

Then there is the sound of moving a stool, the sound of whip, and the sound of splashing water.

"Go out... go out..." Zhu Qizhen glared at Zhen'er, "Cut it, go and chop this guy Menda..."

"Calm down..." Zhen'er said quickly, "Be gentle, don't let people hear it, it will implicate the prison guard..."

"They are greedy for money themselves..."

"Without them, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to get out of this prison at all." Zhen'er said, "Do you think I don't want to save me?"

"How can I bear to scream?" Zhu Qizhen walked back and forth in this room. The space here was not large, and it made people dizzy.

"Men Da will not stop if he is tired. This sound can be disguised. I heard Zhu Ji say that he has already prepared it, and his skin is broken and he will not open..." Zhen'er said.

"Then he screams..."

Zhen'er said, "Let's cooperate... I heard that Menda likes to eat and drink... I don't have time to care..."

"You seem to know everything... are you still secretly commanding?" Zhu Qizhen was a little unhappy. The group of people took action in private, undermining themselves, and making them like this... What's the use of a king?

"No...No..." Zhen'er said, "I just know that my colleagues respect him. Think about how they will treat him? So it's better to be a good person in this world."

Zhu Qizhen sat down and saw Zhen'er laughing. There was no light here, only the moonlight came through the window, but the window had no paper, and snowflakes actually floated in. He approached Zhen'er, and the sound outside gradually disappeared... It was late at night, the cold wall... It seemed that there was no one outside.

"Little girl..." Zhu Qizhen said, "Let's come over..."

It will be warmer if you snuggle together, Zhen'er understands.

"Women are most respectful to their reputations, right?" Zhu Qizhen said, "I will not treat you badly."

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. This is just a very ordinary thing. It was normal for a few people to squeeze together when we were on missions in the past." Zhen'er said, "What is your Majesty's requirement..."

"Are you a woman? Why is this happening?" Zhu Qizhen was a little angry.

"It turns out that the emperor cares about this. If our Jinyiwei sticks to this, we don't have to do anything." Zhen'er said, "The master tells us that we must lose all fame and fortune. The emperor's instructions must be followed. We are a royal family in life, and we will be a royal ghost even if we die."

"If this is true, why should those kids take money so seriously?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"That's just an ideal... Emperor, there is always a distance between ideals and reality..." Zhen'er said.

"You also know that there is a distance... Whether the distance can be shortened depends on your thoughts."

Isn’t this obviously trying to take advantage of me? Zhen'er pushed him away all of a sudden.

"Dare you against the order?"

"Who are you, a scholar? Why do I pay attention to you... I am just a little girl who delivers food..." Zhen'er said.

"You will be so sloppy..."

"So what if I'm so mean?"

"I'm calling someone..." Zhen'er said, no, Menda left, he should have called someone long ago, at least they should have let him go.

"Who will pay attention to you..." It was the second half of the night, and the guy who was trying to give in was really trouble. Zhen'er pushed him down and fell to the ground, but she didn't know whether to hold him back.

"Dang..." The door opened...

"You guys are quite lively..." Duo'er said at the door, wearing the flying fish suit of the Jinyiwei.

"Duoer..." Wan Zhen'er stood up and rushed out all of a sudden.

"My son can, why can't I?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Master, what did you say?" Duoer asked.

"You are stupid... so stupid. Wan Zhen'er just now. I'm wondering, why is she always so intimate with Jianshen..."

Cao Duoer smiled: "Master, what you said is so funny. She is the young master's nanny. How can you not be intimate? How can you and her..."

"What can I do? Isn't she just a palace maid?" Zhu Qizhen said, "This world is so big, I can't touch that woman..."

"It's normal for you to be unwilling to be a master..." Cao Duoer said, "How could Aunt Wan come here? Could it be that she also knows Commander Yuan?"

"You have asked too much... Remember to keep it secret, let's go back to the palace..." Zhu Qizhen said. He walked outside and saw Zhen'er standing outside. "Let's go back together! Let's pretend that something happened tonight has never happened... It's such a boring person."

There were carriages parked outside the imperial prison. The carriage was very common. There were two lanterns on the carriage and the coachman was wearing ordinary clothes.

"Let's go separately, Duo'er, your clothes are too conspicuous. Just have Zhen'er here." Zhu Qizhen said. It seems that he doesn't want Duo'er to follow him.

"What do you want?" Zhen'er said, and she sat in a corner of the carriage.

"I'll go see someone." Zhu Qizhen said, and he leaned out, "Go to Yang's house, it's the painter, from Luban Hutong."

Luban Hutong is located in the south of the city, where the poor craftsmen are located in the south. What are you doing there at the middle of the night? Zhen'er was nervous.

"Yang Yen is a friend of mine. He was a bad person in the palace during the Xuande period. He knew the best about civil engineering. Yuan Bin had a good relationship with him. We drank wine together." Zhu Qizhen said, "That's so comfortable... I'm going to tell you, that year he went to repair the Nangong, and Yuan Bin asked him to leave a secret door for me, but his best skills were lacquer. He was the best among lacquer workers. The wood and bricks that Yuan Bin took were the things on the construction site he managed. As long as he came forward and insisted that it wouldn't be the case. Then I would make up for it. I wouldn't be able to bite it..."

"The master actually has a craftsman friend? Why don't he be an official?"

"Be an official? He doesn't want money, he doesn't want it either... I can't... This is a true friend, not like your Jinyiwei, and he is fighting for this false reputation to the death... Hey... you are, too, afraid of losing power..."

"I don't have..." Zhen'er said, why do she want power?

"Not yet? Who are your brothers and your father relying on? Are you willing to be an unknown little palace maid? You are determined to return to Fuzhensi and act like I don't know! Your hand is still stretched out in Fuzhensi. When things happen, you will be like a fence-bearer... You don't dare to say anything tough. Are you responsible for Lu Gao's death? He is your subordinate."

Zhen'er stopped talking. She felt that she had recognized the wrong emperor again. This emperor was really strange. Sometimes she thought he was very capable and sometimes she was confused.

Zhen'er looked out and saw that the south of the city was already white. The area where the south of the city was living was all craftsmen. Although it was the second half of the night, it was not quiet. Some workshops were closed day and night. So there were night snack shops next to the streets.
