"This is the need of the court. Further torture would involve too much. Everyone should know that it was just a fight in the palace at that time. Now that the cause has been found out, it can be over." He said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, so the Crown Prince is
After the canonization, now we need to stabilize people’s hearts.”
"The matter needs to end without involving more. There are many ways, and it doesn't have to be to release him." Miss Jun looked at him and took a step forward, "Whose need is it?"
She asked again aggressively, as if Mr. Gu's answer was not an answer at all.
Mr. Gu looked at her.
"Miss Jun wants to say that I am Lu Yunqi's man, and it is my need to let him out?" He smiled.
Miss Jun looked at him without smiling.
Mr. Gu also stopped laughing.
"It's not my need," he said, "it's the crown prince's need."
Miss Jun looked sarcastic.
"So, Prince Huai and His Majesty the Emperor are the same?" she said word by word.
Like the shameless and timid King Qi, he only dared to hide behind his back and rely on cruel officials to stabilize the world.
Is this an insult to King Huai or to her?
"Miss Jun, the same need does not mean that they are the same people." Mr. Gu also said word by word, and he also took a step forward, "Don't Miss Jun know what the current situation is? Does Miss Jun think that King Huai canonizes the crown prince?
Is everything settled and everything is safe? At this time, the undercurrents in the court and the world are raging, and at this time, foreign troubles are not settled yet, but internal troubles are breeding."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the majestic palace behind him.
"At this time, the queen is still in the palace, and her position is unshakable."
This is indeed true. No one can shake the identity of the queen. The ministers can then make the emperor meditate, but no one can touch the queen. The crown prince must respect the queen. This is the order of heaven and earth, otherwise he will bear the name of unfilial piety.
And the queen obviously won't like this crown prince.
Miss Jun looked at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu still didn't give her a chance to speak, and his voice rose again.
"At this time, there are three princes who have reached adulthood and are innocent of any crime. They should be crowned princes."
"At this time, the crown prince was decided based on the dispute between the court and the majority of the people agreed, but there were still some officials who objected."
"At this time, the crown prince is only ten years old and is in charge of the young country."
"At this time, Duke Cheng Guo holds heavy troops. Today he has elected King Huai as the crown prince, but who can guarantee whether he will rebel against Chen Qiao in the future."
Miss Jun's eyebrows suddenly became sharp.
"You..." she said.
"Miss Jun, you overestimate yourself." Mr. Gu interrupted her, his eyebrows also sharp, "You also underestimate human nature. This is the court, this is the country, this is the country, this is the biggest temptation in the world, people can only
I guarantee that at this moment, no one can guarantee that in the future, Huang Cheng did not want to gain power when he first entered the official position, Qinghe Bo did not want to be greedy for power when he first led the army, and King Qi did not want to be the emperor when he was young."
Miss Jun clenched her hands in front of her.
"People's hearts change. Who can guarantee that in the future?" Mr. Gu said in a deep voice, looking at the palace over there again, "Who can guarantee that great achievements will not turn into major faults? Who can guarantee that Ning Chang will not become Huang Cheng."
Miss Jun looked at him.
"Who can guarantee that Mr. Gu will not become Eunuch Yuan?" She also said solemnly.
Mr. Gu looked at Miss Jun and suddenly smiled.
"I can't guarantee it," he said, "So, please, Miss Jun, keep an eye on me."
"You can't judge people's hearts just by looking at them." Miss Jun said calmly.
Mr. Gu nodded.
"But it's better to have someone watching than no one watching." He said, "Miss Jun, nothing in this world is clean or perfect. If it can be better, it's already good. If it's better now, it will be better in the future.
Get better, get better bit by bit."
Just better?
Miss Jun stood there feeling a little sad. The rising sunlight made the palace even more majestic and heavy.
The crown prince's canonization ceremony finally came to an end. All the officials lined up to pay homage to the palace. Some looked blank, some looked disdainful, but suddenly someone froze and looked back, followed by more people looking back.
Looking at it, everyone's expressions became complicated and strange.
A person walked slowly on the corridor. It was not the red official robe of the past, but the green robe of an ordinary official, but the appearance of this figure was still dazzling.
There was a commotion in the queue, and low murmurs resounded, but the next moment the person looked over, the murmurs condensed instantly like drops of water turning into ice.
Lu Yunqi withdrew his gaze and slowly stood at the end of the queue. His expression was dull and his body was stiff but he looked upright at the tall hall in front of him, ignoring the contempt, ridicule, resentment and fear around him.
He stands here, and he will always stand here, looking at him and looking at her, until he dies.
………..
……….
Mr. Gu watched the woman leave in the car and did not follow her. He stood in front of the palace gate as if he didn't know where he was going. But the next moment his eyes lit up and he saw a carriage approaching.
The carriage seemed to have no intention of stopping in front of the palace gate, and the guards in front of the palace gate had no intention of stopping it.
But the carriage stopped anyway, and the curtain opened, revealing the woman's face.
"I've met the princess." Mr. Gu stepped forward and saluted.
Just like before when he took care of Prince Huai in Prince Huai's Mansion, now both the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the palace are seriously ill, and the Queen has no time to manage the harem alone, so the Crown Prince invites Princess Jiuli to come into the palace to assist the Queen in managing the harem.
Princess Jiuli looked at him with a smile on her face and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Gu," she said, and added, "Long time no see."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu raised his head and smiled slightly.
"Yes, long time no see." He said.
The two looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something but seemed to have nothing to say.
"It's unfortunate that the princess is here, Miss Jun has just passed by." Mr. Gu thought of something and said.
Princess Jiuli nodded.
"I met her just now. She said she had something to do and I'll see you another day," she said.
Mr. Gu said oh, and there was silence between the two of them again. This silence was not embarrassing, but made people calm and comfortable.
For so many years, they have been relatively silent for too long.
"Then I will go in first." Princess Jiuli nodded and said.
Mr. Gu saluted again.
Princess Jiuli lowered the curtain and the carriage drove towards the palace.
Mr. Gu watched her carriage not move for a long time.
……….
……….
The crown prince's registration was completed, and the crown prince presided over state affairs. The queen finished hanging the curtain and returned to the harem to look after the emperor. Duke Cheng's troops also retreated to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing as mentioned before, and the scattered golden soldiers on Jingdong Road were finally captured.
They all were cleaned up and Yu Chihai was captured alive.
The common people no longer paid attention to the commotion and the subsequent complicated matters in the court. They were only sure that there was a new emperor, and the Jin soldiers were repulsed. The days were finally peaceful, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The streets of the capital have returned to liveliness, but they still remain quiet in the early morning.
There was a knock on the door, which was very loud in the quiet street.
"Master Ning, why did you come too late or too early?" Fang Jinxiu looked at the young master standing outside the door and frowned.
These words made Ning Yunzhao slightly startled.
"Maybe it was an accident?" he said.
Unfortunately, he came too early, so he missed Jun Zhenzhen.
Unfortunately, he came too late, so he missed Jun Jiuling.
Fang Jinxiu curled her lips. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she also knew that he must be thinking wildly again.
"Come in and sit down." Miss Jun had already heard the voice and came out, inviting her with a smile.
Fang Jinxiu waved her hands and walked away.
"Have you packed up all the gifts?" she asked.
Miss Jun nodded at her back and watched Fang Jinxiu walk into the backyard.
"Have tea or go out to eat?" She looked at Ning Yunzhao and asked.
It's so early, I must not have had breakfast yet.
Ning Yunzhao smiled.
"Just have a cup of tea. I really don't have time to eat." He said, "You also know that there are too many things going on in the DPRK."
Miss Jun nodded, asked him to sit down, and brought tea over in person.
"Want to go out?" Ning Yunzhao asked.
Miss Jun nodded.
"I'll be leaving in a moment." She said, smiling again, "So, it's a coincidence that you came here."
This was in response to his unfortunate remark.
Ning Yunzhao laughed.
"That's a coincidence. I just want to ask you something," he said.
Miss Jun looked at him and waited.
This is the first time they have met since the palace change. It can be said that they worked together to do this, but the two people who joined forces have never met or spoken to each other from beginning to end.
Miss Jun doesn't even know how this happened. Only Ning Yunzhao knows many details.
At this moment, there are too many things to say and ask, and too many things to discuss about the present and the future.
There are so many things, and they are all so important, I don’t even know where to start talking about which one.
Ning Yunzhao pondered for a moment.
"Are you and Zhu Shizi real or fake this time?" He raised his head and asked.
