Chapter 116 This is a complicated and simple matter
The name Chu Jiuling was not unfamiliar to the two people in the room.
Is she Chu Jiuling?
But Chu Jiuling was already a dead man.
In this quiet night, a living person suddenly said that he was a dead person.
Zhu Zan's face turned pale, and Xue'er's face was full of horror.
There was dead silence in the room.
This wasn't the first time she said this.
Zhu Zan thought, and a long time ago, he once pinched her like this.
Because in a strange town that he had never been to before, he was facing a strange girl whom he met by chance and would never see again, and he suddenly called out his name.
"Who are you?" he asked her.
Why did you recognize him?
At that time, the girl said she was leaving home without even taking a breath or blinking an eye.
The house is impeccable, but her words are not true at all.
After two years, she finally answered his question.
I am Chu Jiuling.
Are you Chu Jiuling?
How can you be Chu Jiuling?
Zhu Zan looked at the woman in front of him, and the woman in front of him also looked at him.
There was mist in her eyes, which seemed deep and clear at the same time.
"Lingjiu?"
"Why are you called Lingjiu?"
Is it because her name is Lingjiu?
"How is your father? Has the winter cough recovered?"
Because she recognized her father, she asked about these hidden diseases that outsiders didn't know about.
So when King Huai fell ill, she fought tooth and nail to get him cured.
That's why Lu Yunqi would cling to her, because only she can be more like Chu Jiuling.
So she would stand by the wall outside the Chengguo Palace and watch, because she had been here before.
So she will save his mother.
So she will protect her family and country, because that is her father's territory.
So she will risk her life and rush into the realm of the Golden Man to save her father.
So when he said he didn't care about her, he said something with a half-smile.
"I am Princess Jiuling."
That inexplicable familiarity, that inexplicable closeness without doubting and not guarding, that inexplicable help.
turn out to be…
Zhu Zan's body was trembling and he felt like he couldn't breathe. He suddenly let go of her and stepped back, his eyes full of horror and disbelief.
No, it's impossible, how is this possible?
"You are very strange. You are very strange to me and our family."
"Yes, I treat your family differently."
"reason."
The woman in front of me thought for a moment and shook her head.
"I can't say," she said.
Can't say, does it mean that no one believes it? It's true that no one believes it. It's so ridiculous. How is this possible?
Zhu Zan gasped for air and looked at Miss Jun.
Miss Jun stood firm and stretched out her hand to straighten the twisted skirt of her clothes. She was so elegant and quiet in the night that it was heart-stopping.
"Xue'er." She looked at the maid who was shivering with her mouth covered, "Is what Bing'er told me true?"
Xue'er let out a short exclamation and collapsed on the ground unable to hold herself up any longer.
Miss Jun walked towards her slowly. Xueer wanted to hide away, but had no strength. She looked at the woman standing still in front of her.
"Jiang Yanbao, is he really not dead?" she asked.
Jiang Yanbao.
Xue'er seemed to see the man. He was standing in the room with restraint and fear. Sitting in front of him was the prince, who was inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people.
"What's your name?" the prince asked gently.
"My name is Jiang Yanbao." He replied timidly with a trembling voice.
Xueer let out a cry and kowtowed.
"Princess...Princess..." She just cried, completely speechless.
"Don't shout yet." Zhu Zan's voice sounded.
Miss Jun looked at him.
Seeing her looking over, Zhu Zan subconsciously took a step back with a wary expression. This wariness was not the playful and exaggerated one before.
"How do you prove it?" he said in a deep voice.
Miss Jun smiled and shook her head.
"I have no way to prove it," she said, "Zhu Zan, you are not familiar with me."
She looked at Xueer again.
"Xue'er isn't familiar with me either. I'm not at home all year round."
She raised her head with a bit of sadness.
"You don't know me, and you don't know anything about me. And I don't know you, and I'm not familiar with you, so I can't tell you anything about you."
The room was silent for a moment again.
"So it wasn't an accident when you went to Guan Temple that time?" Zhu Zan asked.
Miss Jun knows which time he said it.
"Neither are you?" she asked.
Zhu Zan's eyes were dark and he didn't speak.
"How did you know?" Miss Jun then asked, "Bing'er said that she had never told anyone else. Was Bing'er discovered after I died?"
Zhu Zan glanced at her and looked away.
"The Binger you are talking about is the palace maid who died of the disease," he said.
Miss Jun frowned.
"You don't have to frown." Zhu Zan said, looking at her and looking away again, "She may have been discovered, but not many people have discovered her. At most, only Lu Yunqi and His Majesty know about it."
"Then Xue'er..." Miss Jun asked with a frown.
"I don't know much about Xue'er." Zhu Zan took over and said, looking at the shivering palace maid kneeling on the ground, "Lu Yunqi must know, because there are always people from the Imperial Guard watching over the Guan Temple, but I took the person away,
His Majesty the Emperor seems completely unaware that there is no large-scale search for anyone, only a few members of the Imperial Guard are searching privately."
This is a bit weird.
Miss Jun was silent.
"Xue'er didn't say anything." Zhu Zan continued, "I don't know what you just said."
Ah? He doesn't know? Miss Jun looked at him, then how did he notice Xue'er?
Zhu Zan didn't look at her.
"It's just a guess," he said.
Guess? Can you still guess? Miss Jun is even more puzzled.
"You died suddenly, so I thought there must be something wrong." Zhu Zan turned his head and looked at the wall and said, "Then I looked for anything abnormal. I checked here and there. I found out that a palace maid had died, so I checked who she was.
What is her identity? She found out that she served the former prince, and then found out that her sister lived in Guan Temple. Then she found that people from Jinyiwei were watching her. People like Jinyiwei were unprofitable. Since they were under surveillance, they must be there.
Problem, no matter what the problem is, I’ll get the person first before we talk about it.”
When he said this, he looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and shivering.
"I asked her what was going on, and she said she didn't know, or even knew someone was watching her. In that case, I didn't ask any more questions."
"that's all."
It sounds simple, that's it.
But doing it…
Miss Jun looked at him.
When a poor princess dies, she dies, and there are still people paying attention to her, and they also want to inquire about the cause of her death.
The emperor must have tried his best to conceal the cause of her death. If he wanted to find out the clues, he could also find a crucial and inconspicuous palace maid from these clues. How could it be so simple?
He traveled thousands of miles from the north, and it turned out that he was not just sending a flower to her grave.
"Why do you want to do this?" she asked.
"It's nothing." Zhu Zan stuttered, never looking at her, as if he was afraid of this monster who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost. "My father said that there might be something weird about the death. I happened to be in Beijing, so I checked it out.
Check, it’s just a matter of convenience.”
Is it a convenient thing? This convenient thing is to take the risk of confiscating the family and annihilating the family.
Miss Jun sighed softly.
"Thank you and Mr. Cheng Guo." She said, "You are very kind to us and care about us. Thank you."
"Thank you, everything is mutual." Zhu Zan turned his head and said in a low voice, "You have helped my father so much."
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Miss Jun suddenly thought of a question.
"So, do you believe what I say?" she asked, "Do you believe that I am Chu Jiuling?"
Zhu Zan still looked aside.
"It seems that there is no other way to explain this except believing." He said. (To be continued)
