She had already guessed that Gu Qing was Lu Yunqi's man.
After all, those who can enter Prince Huai's Mansion are those selected by Lu Yunqi.
Although he did teach Jiu Fu very well.
Lu Yunqi has already left, what other arrangements are there?
"Master Lu told me to take King Huai and Miss Jun away at the right time." Mr. Gu said in a low voice.
Walk?
Miss Jun immediately took a step back.
What does he want to do? Use the golden soldiers to enter the city and take the opportunity to get rid of Jiuyi?
It is really reasonable to blame the Jin people in the future.
Mr. Gu smiled when he saw her expression.
The people behind him had quietly surrounded her.
Miss Jun also laughed.
"What do you think will happen if I call you spies at this time?" she said.
Mr. Gu shook his head.
"Miss Jun, you misunderstood." He said, "Master Lu did not intend to harm His Highness Prince Huai."
Miss Jun looked at him with a blank expression.
"What does he want?" she asked.

The sunlight was still very bright in the spring evening, but the room in a deep mansion near Taihu Lake was dark.
Perhaps it was the closed doors and windows, or perhaps the two people standing in the room blocking the light.
in front of these two people
A middle-aged man wearing a floral embroidered robe and a hat raised his head.
He looks like a country squire, but he is actually the emperor.
"So the Jin people haven't broken the city yet?" he asked in surprise.
"Yes." Lu Yunqi replied.
His answers were always simple, and he answered whatever the emperor asked.
Although the news of the siege of the capital could not be conveyed, some scattered information was known.
"It was Ning Yan who led the whole city to defend the city." Yuan Bao added from the side, "It has been guarding for nearly twenty days now."
"After guarding the city for twenty-five days, it can be said to be a siege." The emperor said, although he was still a little nervous, his expression was somewhat happy.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect it to be quite powerful." Yuan Bao said, "No wonder the Jin people didn't go south again. They were all attracted by the capital."
Yes, this is good. The capital is guarded so strongly. The Jin people must think that they are still in the capital, so they will only be firmly attracted there.
It's safe here in the south.
The emperor sat back in his chair.
As time goes by, when reinforcements arrive, the Jin people will be defeated and the crisis will be completely resolved.
Thinking of this, he frowned again.
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" he asked, "We can't count on the trash on Jingdong Road. What about the ones in the north? What about the ones in the south?"
What Lu Yunqi was going to say, Yuan Bao had already spoken first.
"The North is still fighting with the Jin soldiers. There is news that the Jin Kingdom will send another 50,000 troops south..." he said.
The emperor's face suddenly darkened.
"What a waste," he said.
"But don't worry, Your Majesty, the Jinghu army has already arrived." Yuan Bao said hurriedly claiming credit, "I have been contacted by my servant."
The Jinghu garrison was led by Uncle Qinghe, and they were also elite soldiers and strong generals. Although Uncle Qinghe brought some generals from the north, there must still be enough manpower.
The emperor's brows softened slightly.
"Let them come here first," he said, "and then divide the troops and go to the capital."
Yuan Bao responded yes.
Outside the door, Ning Yunzhao walked in holding stacks of documents.
Although he left the capital, some government affairs still had to be done, especially when it came to dispatching troops and generals. Looking at the documents he brought, the emperor's slightly relaxed brows frowned again.
"How could the jade seal be lost?" He looked at Yuan Bao and shouted with a bit of anger.
Yuan Bao suddenly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, we were in a hurry at the time. I think I either lost it or kept it in the Qinzheng Palace." Ning Yunzhao said.
His voice was calm and his tone was convincing.
"I am guilty." He went on to say, "I was entrusted by Eunuch Yuan, but I did not check carefully, so I missed it."
It would be best if someone took the blame, and it was indeed his fault. Yuan Bao leaned on the ground and said nothing.
These eunuchs are the best at pushing the envelope, so it must be their fault.
The emperor glared at him.
"Let's talk about it later," he said, "We'll talk about it after we get back."
Regardless of whether the city was destroyed or the reinforcements forced the Jin soldiers back, things would eventually pass and end. As long as he, the emperor, was here, everything could be solved.
After saying this, he lowered his head to look at the documents sent by Ning Yunzhao, and did not notice that Lu Yunqi, who had been silent and looking down, looked up at him.
"It's best not to destroy the city."
Yuan Bao sighed and said after exiting the room.
"It doesn't matter if it's broken, it'll be faster." Lu Yunqi said.
These words made Yuan Baoning and Yunzhao look at him with complicated expressions.
To be honest, if the city is destroyed, things will end faster. Jin Xin can be satisfied with the looting and talk about what is going to happen.
But I only dare to think about this thought, but I don’t dare to think deeply about it.
What a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Even if he also regards the emperor as his top priority, at least he still cares about the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. Doesn't this guy know how miserable the capital will be if the city is destroyed?
It's really dangerous to have such a person around, Yuan Bao curled his lips.
"I'll guard here. You two adults can go and rest," he said.
Lu Yunqi ignored him and turned around and walked away. Ning Yunzhao smiled and said a few words of hard work to Yuan Bao before walking away.
Lu Yunqi did not go far, but stood in the corridor.
"Master Lu." Ning Yunzhao stepped forward to salute with a smile and a sincere expression, "I have always forgotten to say thank you to the master."
This thank you sounds inexplicable, but Ning Yunzhao believes that Lu Yunqi knows what it means, because Lu Yunqi's eyes are falling on his sleeves.
"No need to thank you." Lu Yunqi said, looking away and turning around with his hands behind his back, "It's not because of you."
Ning Yunzhao stood behind him.
"It's not for me, then, is it for yourself?" he said suddenly.
Lu Yunqi didn't seem to hear him and walked away without saying a word.
...........
............
"Master Lu said that the matter can end here." Mr. Gu said.
What's the meaning?
Miss Jun looked at him.
"It means that King Huai has done enough." Mr. Gu continued, "His reputation is enough, so he can leave and wait."
wait?
Miss Jun looked at him and still didn't speak.
"Miss Jun, the capital cannot be defended anymore." Mr. Gu did not say what he was waiting for, but said, looking outside the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, you can feel the trembling under your feet, which is the message that a large number of golden soldiers are coming.
"Not sure yet." Miss Jun said, "You won't know if you can keep it. You have to do it."
It's not settled until the last minute.
"Miss Jun, it's okay, let's go." Mr. Gu said, "Master Lu has already arranged a hiding place."
Miss Jun smiled mockingly.
"Children of the Chu family would not be like this..." she said.
Before she finished speaking, Mr. Gu took a step forward and interrupted her.
"Miss Jun, if the city is destroyed, the emperor will not come back." He said word by word, "Therefore, the Chu family must have blood to stay."
