Chapter Eighteen You Can't Escape

Chu Jiuling.

She wanted some people to know this name and some people to call it, such as sister and brother.

There are also unexpected and unexpected people who know and shout out, such as Zhu Zan.

But there was one person whose name she absolutely didn't want to hear shouted out of his mouth.

Miss Jun stood there without looking back, and the footsteps behind her also stopped.

No one spoke or moved, and the world stood still for a moment.

The sight behind her was like a snake coiled on her back, no squirming, only the constant coldness and coldness that penetrated it.

what to do?

She once pretended to be Chu Jiuling in order to hide the buried master's letters from Lu Yunqi.

So now, in order to prevent him from thinking she is Chu Jiuling, what should she pretend to be?

She misheard, and did not hear the surname Chu. She only heard Jiuling, which was a name she was familiar with, so she agreed by mistake.

She has been to this palace once or twice, and she has a good memory, so even without anyone to guide her, she can still walk on smooth ground.

Like walking on flat ground.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Miss Jun galloped forward.

Run out, run out of here. As long as you get in front of people, you can have thousands of explanations. You must not fall into his hands.

There were no footsteps chasing behind me, and no one was blocking me in front of me. The palace gate was right in front of me, and I could already see the guards walking around, and could faintly hear the officials and attendants talking outside the palace gate.

But the next moment, a sound broke through the air behind her, and the back of her neck went numb.

I was really careless this time.

The last thought flashed through her mind, and Miss Jun groaned, her eyes darkened, and she fell forward.

She didn't fall to the ground. A guard in royal robes ran out from the diagonal stab. He knelt on one knee and caught her steadily with one hand. With the other hand, he swung his scarlet cloak to cover her, picked her up and moved away.

Quietness returned in front of the palace gate. The chamberlains passing by looked over unconsciously and saw Yunqi standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back. The whole person was hidden in the shadow cast by the high wall. Only the scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind. The chamberlains shuddered and quickly looked away.

He walked quickly with his head down.

........

.......

Ning Yunzhao shivered inexplicably, and then there was a snapping sound in his ears.

The emperor threw the memorials in his hand on several tables. The stacked memorials were hit so hard that they fell down immediately, and the crackling sound echoed in the palace.

"I don't believe it!" the emperor shouted, looking sad and angry, pointing at the two kneeling generals, "I don't believe what you said."

"Your Majesty, everything you say is true." The two generals kowtowed, "If there are any lies, God will strike with five thunders."

"Your Majesty, it's shocking that I know this. It's hard to believe that both the late Emperor and Your Majesty trusted Duke Cheng Guo so much. However, there are both human and material evidence. This is not a frame-up due to personal enmity." Huang Cheng said, with a confused look on his face.

He knelt down in grief and anger, "Your Majesty, please investigate clearly."

The emperor stood up and paced back and forth, frightened, angry and uneasy.

"I don't believe it." He just repeated, "I don't believe your witnesses, I don't believe your physical evidence."

He stopped suddenly.

"I want to hear what Duke Cheng has to say."

After saying that, he raised his hand.

"Lu Yunqi, call Lu Yunqi."

If you want to listen to Cheng Guogong and let Lu Yunqi ask, you will naturally be escorted to Beijing.

Huang Cheng leaned over and was about to call His Majesty the Holy Ming, but someone came first again.

"Your Majesty." Ning Yunzhao turned around and bowed, "I think it is inappropriate."

What he said was not the word "sage"?

Huang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

Sure enough, if you stand here relying on flattery, you will never be satisfied with just saying the word "sage". Let's start to say what you want to say.

But boy, I've been waiting for you to say this. Do you think you can dissuade the emperor from dealing with Duke Cheng Guo? It's just to let His Majesty know that your uncle and nephew named Ning are indeed in the same nest as Duke Cheng.

The emperor was obviously a little surprised and looked down at Ning Yunzhao.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate to let Mr. Lu go." Ning Yunzhao took the initiative and said without waiting for the emperor to ask, with a serious and calm expression, "Dali Temple should come forward."

Isn't it advice? Huang Cheng didn't frown slightly.

The emperor's expression softened slightly.

"Dali Temple, isn't that asking for guilt?" He said, shaking his head, "I just want to ask him first, I don't believe he is guilty."

"No, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't want to question him, he has no choice but to let Dali Temple handle it." Ning Yunzhao said, "Let Mr. Lu Jin Yiwei come forward, but it will make the people talk about it, and it will be rumored as a trap."

Jinyiwei's reputation is not good, but he is also the one whom the emperor trusts the most.

The emperor looked hesitant.

"The accusation of Duke Cheng Guo for treason is of great importance and will surely cause uproar in the world. I don't want your majesty's trust and love for Duke Cheng to be suspected by others," Ning Yunzhao said, taking a step forward again.

"Your Majesty has a clear conscience towards Duke Cheng Guo. It depends on whether Duke Cheng Guo dares to confront Dali Temple or not."

Yes, once this matter is announced, the whole world will be in an uproar. In front of the world, it is better to let others come forward for this kind of thing.

The emperor nodded.

"What Master Ning said is absolutely true." He said, taking a deep breath, "I believe him. Since this is the case, I must not hide it. This is how I truly believe in him."

He looked at an official in the palace.

"Going to Dali Temple to pick up Wang Chong, Zhang Gui sued Duke Zhu Shan for his rebellion."

Although the official's face looked ugly, and he obviously didn't want to take on this unfortunate job, he still had no choice but to lean over and answer the question.

It turned out that Dali Temple was asked to try the case, but what was the use of it?

Whether he is arrested by the Jinyi Guards or by the Dali Temple, it makes no difference in the outcome.

Huang Cheng glanced at Ning Yunzhao and stopped taking steps to stop him.

Do you think that Dali Temple can be more fair than Jinyiwei's prison sentence? What a young man.

The emperor seemed exhausted from arranging all this and didn't even want to say a word.

"Don't say anything until Dali Temple examines it." He sat down and held his forehead, "I don't believe anyone's words."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

The officials bowed and saluted and filed out, each one with a restless and complicated expression. They did not see the emperor raising his head behind them, and their eyes fell on the general Zhang Gui who was exiting with his head lowered.

Zhang Gui seemed to be aware of it and turned around slightly. When he saw the emperor's gaze, his expression was not as frightened as before, but he became more respectful and immediately became a little shorter, as if he was giving a salute and seemed to be responding to something.

Everyone retreated, and the chamberlains also carefully closed the palace door. At this moment, the emperor let go of the hand stroking his forehead, and the exhaustion, sorrow and anger on his face disappeared. He leaned back on the dragon chair and raised his feet.

He kicked down the scattered memorials on several desks three times and two times.

There was a crackling sound in the hall.

When the servants outside heard this, they thought that the emperor was still losing his temper, and they looked nervous and hurriedly lowered their heads and kept silent.

The emperor was leaning on the dragon chair, his expression extremely comfortable.

"Ten years." He said to himself, "He has been running the Northland for more than ten years since he became the Duke of the country. Can't I do the same?"

His legs that were crossed on the desk were shaking slightly, as if there was a delicate beauty playing the piano and singing in front of him.

"I have earned so much money, why do you think I am still so poor? Money is of no use just sitting there. Money is used to make money. Only when you have money can things be easier to handle."

He spoke with a bit of annoyance, and kicked several cases hard, making a clanging sound.

"How many things have I done outside, how many people have I won over, and how many years of relationships have I built? If you call me a waste, you really think I am a waste. I really think you, a woman who plays tricks in the harem, earned this country for me.

of."

"Without money and people, how can I know when that damn guy gets sick and what he does every day?"

"How can I enter Beijing with only a few people but be able to move in and out of many places freely?"

"General Cheng Guo's management of the Northern Territory is like an iron barrel. How can I give an imperial edict to the officers and soldiers of the Northern Territory to retreat?"

"You say I'm a waste. It's me, a waste, who won this world. You are the waste, you are the ones."

With a bang, several cases rolled and fell, and the sound covered up the emperor's soliloquy.

Ning Yunzhao, who walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, had already forgotten this matter. He did not discuss the matter with other officials, but walked quickly towards the palace gate.

"Is Miss Jun coming out?" he asked a guard.

The guard nodded.

"I left half an hour ago." He said with a dull expression.

Gone. Ning Yunzhao looked not far away. Sure enough, Jiulingtang's carriages, horses and entourage were gone.

He did not stop and rode towards Jiulingtang. Although it was not the right time to go, he no longer cared about choosing the right time.

But when she saw him coming, Chen Qi was startled.

"Miss Jun hasn't come back yet," he said.

Not back? Ning Yunzhao's face suddenly changed, and his heart dropped suddenly.

Too bad.

...........

...........

Too bad.

Miss Jun woke up leisurely. Although her consciousness was still a little confused, the first thought that flashed through her was still that it was bad.

Then she woke up completely with a jolt, only to find that everything was dark and her body, hands and feet were tied.

Before she could adapt to the darkness, a cluster of firelight lit up, illuminating Lu Yunqi's porcelain-white face, very close at hand.

She was lying on the bed, and he was squatting beside her, looking down, holding a fire twister in one hand and a dagger in the other.

"Jiu Ling." His voice was low and hoarse, with fire in his eyes, "How did you hide in this person's body? Shall I let you out?" (To be continued)
