Jun Jiuling

Jun Zhenzhen might have been recently orphaned, but it didn’t dampen her arrogance one bit. She even snubbed her maternal family who took her in, seeing them as merely a stopover as she gained a fo...

Chapter 16: Resigning and Leaving

There are many things she has to do, but it can also be said that there is only one thing.

She had to stay alive, keep her sister and brother alive, and avenge her father; these were all things she had to do, but to accomplish these things she only had to do one thing.

She buried this matter deep in her heart, and only occasionally when she woke up from a dream in the middle of the night would a thought flash through her mind, and she would just pretend that she was still dreaming.

She herself didn't dare to think about this matter seriously, because it was too far away and she was afraid that thinking too much would interfere with her thinking and mess up her mind, thus ruining her hard-earned chance to start over.

I wonder what Duke Cheng Guo meant by what she was going to do?

No matter what it refers to, you can definitely guess something.

Is her intention already so obvious?

"Save the world and the people."

The voice of Duke Cheng was heard.

"It allows the family to carry on its fame for a long time."

Miss Jun breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little amused. After all, she was not Jun Zhenzhen, and she was forgetting this point more and more, to the point that she doubted herself before others did.

For Jun Zhenzhen, the most important thing is to bring fame to the family.

She smiled.

"It's good enough," she said.

Duke Cheng didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her.

"You can get more reputation by using your reputation." He continued gently, "With greater reputation, you can do more things, and by doing more things, you can get more reputation, and this goes on and on. Moreover, you are a doctor, and your job is to cure diseases and save lives. Even if I, the emperor, don't like you, you will not be able to defeat the public opinion in the end."

After all, Duke Cheng was still worried that he would be implicated by him, so he faced the challenge head-on even though he knew there was a tiger in the mountain, and took the opportunity to increase her reputation while riding the crest of the storm.

"It's not just for you." Duke Cheng said with a smile, "This matter is inevitable. Since it is inevitable, just choose the most beneficial way."

Choose the most advantageous approach?

"Then what are you going to do next, Duke?" Miss Jun asked.

"Go home, I haven't been back for decades." Duke Cheng said with a smile, "Finally I have time to go back and take a look."

As they were talking, Zhu Zan came in.

"Someone from the palace has gone to Jiuling Hall." He said, looking at Miss Jun, "It was the Queen Mother who summoned you to the palace."

Queen Mother?

Miss Jun frowned slightly, and Duke Cheng smiled.

"It's coming as soon as I said it." He said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. The Queen Mother summoned you at this time to show her appreciation for you. It is also an honor bestowed upon you."

Since someone had come from the palace, it was not appropriate for Miss Jun to stay in Duke Cheng's mansion any longer. After bidding farewell to Duke Cheng and his wife, Zhu Zan sent her all the way back to Jiuling Hall.

"My honor still depends on them." Miss Jun said as she walked into the door.

"It's not true, they just think so." Zhu Zan said, and then he took Miss Jun's arm, "I want to send my father back to his hometown. I have something..."

"If you have something to say, just tell me. There's no need to do anything." Miss Jun said with a frown.

Zhu Zan did not let go.

"Let's talk about serious matters, don't always care about these little things." He said with a plastic surgery.

Miss Jun laughed.

"Go ahead," she said, without pulling her arms away.

"Don't do the stupid things you did before when you enter the palace," Zhu Zan said.

Miss Jun naturally understood what he meant by the stupid things that happened in the past.

"How can that be considered stupid?" Miss Jun said.

Her expression was stubborn and dissatisfied, but not annoying at all, and instead made her look playful.

Zhu Zan couldn't help laughing, but then he realized that this was not a funny thing and quickly covered his face.

"Not knowing your own capabilities is not stupid." He said in a deep voice, "You said it yourself, being brave without strategy is bravery, not courage."

These two short sentences may sound confusing to outsiders, but they are full of things that only they know, including past and present lives.

Zhu Zan couldn't help feeling a little happy, but then he became angry again.

What's there to be happy about? If possible, who would want to die like this?

He was about to say something when someone coughed nearby.

Zhu Zan and Miss Jun both came to their senses and looked over, and saw Chen Qi standing in front of them, looking at them.

Zhu Zan also coughed lightly and let go of his hand.

"Are you guys okay?" Chen Qi asked with a strange look on his face.

"Nothing." Miss Jun and Zhu Zan answered in unison, "What's the matter?"

Chen Qi laughed twice.

"I'm glad you're alright." He said, "If you're alright, go see Miss Zhao. They're leaving."

The Qingshan Army was still stationed in the Jingxi Camp, but with the resignation of Duke Cheng, the Qingshan Army, which had been ignored, was also required to leave the capital immediately and return to the north to report.

This is a matter of course and cannot be objected to, and Miss Jun does not object to it either.

"It's okay that Duke Cheng is gone, but it's a pity that the Qingshan Army is gone," said Chen Qi.

The Qingshan Army is so powerful and obedient to Miss Jun. In fact, it would be better if they were used as guards, but they were given a military title and joined the army, becoming the official army of the Great Zhou. They are no longer someone's officers and soldiers. Even Duke Cheng can no longer mobilize them once he resigns from his official position.

It was equivalent to giving such powerful officers and soldiers to Qinghe Bo for nothing.

"How can you say this is a pity?" Miss Jun shook her head. "Being a bodyguard for one person is a big deal. Being a bodyguard for a country is even bigger."

When you can't even protect yourself, who cares about the world? What's the use of the world?

Chen Qi rolled his eyes and thought, forget it, he could never understand what this woman was thinking anyway, but fortunately she always did the right thing.

Miss Jun was not reluctant to see Qingshan Jun leave, and neither were she nor the other members of Qingshan Jun. Zhao Hanqing and Xia Yong obeyed orders neatly and left.

The Qingshan Army and Duke Cheng left on the same day, and they left very quietly. Almost no one in the capital knew that Duke Cheng was dismissed, but Zhu Zan was not. However, he had to escort his parents back to his hometown, so he left as well.

"It feels so deserted all of a sudden." Chen Qi sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Liu'er's footsteps and shouts.

"Where is the young lady's cloak?"

"Who of you took it away after putting it there last night?"

Well, actually nothing has changed, Chen Qi thought. He walked to the front hall with his hands in his pockets, and sighed again when he looked at the empty front hall.

There have been changes. His Jinxiu hasn't come back yet, and it's so slow to hand over the ticket number.

Chen Qi walked out of the door and looked at the carriages and horses prepared by his employees. Suddenly, he saw a man walking down the street.

There weren't many people on the street in the early morning, so the people riding horses were very conspicuous.

"Hey, Mr. Ning." Chen Qi called out hurriedly.

Ning Yunzhao urged his horse forward with a smile.

Having not seen him for some time, Chen Qi smiled as soon as Miss Jun came back and saw him again.

"Mr. Ning, are you passing by?" He asked with a smile, thinking of Fang Jinxiu's previous teasing on Ning Yunzhao.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"No," he said, "Ms. Jun is going to the palace today, and I came here specially to accompany her. After all, we are from Yangcheng."

admire.

Entering the palace can be justified by being a fellow villager. Only Young Master Ning can think of and come up with this reason.

Chen Qi looked at him with admiration.
