Chapter 150 Returning Home

Jun Qiulan is quite familiar with handling state affairs.

When the emperor did not have a biological son yet, he had already been helping the emperor deal with memorials.

Now, he also helps the emperor deal with memorials, but the situation is very different.

Ever since the emperor vomited blood in court that day, he never attended the morning court again. He rested in his bedroom every day, only occasionally summoning one or two concubines at night.

These were all what Jun Qiulan overheard from the eunuchs and palace maids chirping quietly. The emperor's health was not very good, but he still had the energy to cultivate and sow offspring.

Jun Qiulan actually found it incredible as well.

However, none of this has anything to do with him anymore.

After the banquet at the Huo Mansion that day, the Huo Mansion closed its doors to visitors. Everyone understood this through the news that spread.

Whether the military funds and food supplies were sufficient was known best to those in the court. Now that Old Madam Huo was selling her property to supplement the military expenses, the officials felt guilty and did not send anyone to inquire carefully.

Little did they know that the entire Huo Mansion had gradually become an empty shell.

The next day, Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing went to Yan's again and sent Third Master Yan and Uncle Yan over.

Grandpa Yan secretly sent people to bring them all to the manor.

Because time was tight, Grandpa Yan knew that Jun Qiulan also knew his identity, but he didn't have time to sit down and have a good chat.

I'm just waiting for Jun Qiulan and the others to return safely, and then I'll find a chance to have a good chat with them.

But Grandpa Yan still made his statement, and told Jun Qiulan very generously that if he needed anything, he could just ask, and if he was embarrassed to tell him, he could tell Yan Jing.

By the way, I also asked about Jun Qiulan's father.

Although there were indeed some tentative intentions in Yan Huai's initial correspondence with Mr. Yangeng, this did not prevent him from truly appreciating Mr. Yangeng's calligraphy and paintings.

I have been looking forward to having tea and playing chess with Mr. Yan Geng for a long time, and this is not an exaggeration.

Jun Qiulan had no choice but to agree. When he returned to the border town, he would send his father over to meet Grandpa Yan.

Could this be considered a fan meeting that spans ancient and modern times?

This day was the time for Jun Qiulan to leave.

After processing the memorials, he issued the final decree. This was the last thing he did for the people as Prince Rui of Dasheng. It was unknown whether the decree he issued would continue to be implemented in the future.

There is no way to not implement it, so just wait for their reform and development.

Just as Jun Qiulan was about to leave the palace, the eunuch came to inform him that the emperor had summoned him.

A little unexpected.

But he is about to leave, so I might as well go and take a look.

No matter what time, Jun Qiulan's feelings towards this emperor are somewhat complicated.

The emperor undoubtedly wanted to kill him, but the trust he had shown him during this period seemed genuine.

The emperor's spirit and energy seemed to be much better. Jun Qiulan looked at the emperor a few more times. He knew that the emperor's current spirit and energy were all illusions created by the magic pill.

We don’t know when it will break out.

Jun Qiulan thought about it and decided that it would be better to leave quickly. If he exploded while he was there, who knows what kind of chaos would happen.

"Qiulan has been handling memorials for a while now, but why has he only dealt with trivial matters?"

What the emperor called trivial matters all concerned the lives of ordinary people.

Jun Qiulan was simply speechless.

In fact, in the past, when he was still the crown prince, he would not be too eager to deal with such memorials, because subconsciously, this was how ordinary people lived.

But when he himself went among the people, he truly saw the thousands of sufferings of the people.

Compared to those so-called urgent government affairs...

Forget it, Jun Qiulan doesn’t want to think about these things anymore.

After all, he doesn't really want to stay here and be a prince.

As for the emperor's question, he also avoided the main issue and said, "Your Majesty is getting healthier and healthier. I believe you have enough energy to handle these government affairs. I am inexperienced, so I will handle some minor matters first, which can be regarded as a relief for Your Majesty."

The old emperor smiled and waved his hand to let the servants go out, leaving only an old eunuch to serve him closely.

Jun Qiulan didn't understand.

"I called you here today because I have a secret decree for you. Since you are unwilling to be the regent, I will make other plans."

The old emperor sighed and continued, "You must wait until I pass away before opening this secret decree. Before then, no one can read it, including you."

Jun Qiulan noticed that this secret decree was sealed using a special method, and if it was opened rashly, it would be damaged.

Considering what the old emperor said, this imperial edict might not belong to him alone.

He should be just one of those who received the imperial edict, and this imperial edict will only be valid after the other imperial edicts are combined.

Jun Qiulan suddenly had an absurd idea. The old emperor should be very clear about his physical condition and his current situation. He also knew that if he suddenly changed his mind, the court would be in complete chaos.

This imperial edict... probably seems to be giving instructions for the final arrangements.

Jun Qiulan couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he still respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

The old emperor smiled at him and waved his hand: "Go back, I also want to rest."

Jun Qiulan bowed and said goodbye.

When he left the palace, he was also wondering whether the emperor had already known his plan when he told him to go back.

My mind is a little confused.

After returning to the palace, he quickly traveled back to the modern era and brought Yan Jing over.

Before leaving, I have to deal with the national teacher.

By the way, he also mentioned the imperial edict and the old emperor's words, "I always feel there is a hidden meaning."

Yan Jing thought for a moment: "No matter what, it shouldn't affect your current decision, right?"

Jun Qiulan nodded as a matter of course.

They have beliefs, goals, and so many like-minded comrades. How can they be easily shaken?

Yan Jing smiled: "Why bother with what he does?"

Jun Qiulan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

This era is so corrupt.

It's time to cut out the rotten flesh and grow new flesh.

The process will be a little painful, but we can't let the rotten flesh continue to rot and breed maggots. By then, even God will be unable to save you.

"Let's go." Jun Qiulan said, "We have to deal with the Imperial Master first."

He made an appointment with the National Master to meet at the teahouse they had met before, and brought the truth with him. No matter what abilities he had, he couldn't use them.

After dealing with the imperial teacher, they will leave the city directly.

Before Jun Qiulan left, he and Yan Jing quietly moved all the things in the warehouse back.

It cannot be sold in modern times, but it is also a good idea to keep it and use it to reward meritorious comrades in the future.

The two men went out with light luggage, and there was no sign that they were about to escape.

Yan's bookshop closed down two days ago.

This is the capital, where there are so many bookshops? The closure of one bookshop did not attract the slightest attention.

Teahouse.

The Imperial Master is already waiting.

"Your Highness asked me to come here today. Have you thought it through?"

Jun Qiulan didn't rush to act. "Master, why don't you tell me what you have that can help me get to that position?"

It is also a temptation.

The Imperial Master thought his plan had succeeded, but now he was actually holding up his head, "You don't have to worry about this matter. This Imperial Master will definitely find a way to make sure you ascend the throne legitimately."

Jun Qiulan shook his head: "Since the Imperial Master is unwilling to speak frankly, then this King will not be able to cooperate with you."

He directly took out the truth and pointed it at the national teacher.

"I heard that the Imperial Master is not only an excellent doctor, but also a fortune teller. Did you predict today's events?"

The Imperial Master did not recognize the truth, but he instinctively sensed danger.

"Don't you want to be an emperor? Don't you want to live as long as the heavens? Don't you want to..."

Jun Qiulan didn't want to listen to his nonsense and rewarded him with a steel peanut.

There was a silencer, but it didn't attract anyone's attention. Only the birds outside the window flew away.

The Imperial Master didn't know how he died until his death, but his eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Let's go." Jun Qiulan remained calm.

People like the National Master have indirectly or directly killed countless innocent people in the past two years for their own selfish desires. They deserve to be put to death.

Yan Jing: "Wait."

He searched her body and asked, "What do you think this is?"

It was a booklet, but the text on it was not familiar to them.

"You don't know him either?" Jun Qiulan asked.

Yan Jing shook his head. "But I'm afraid the paper of this booklet is not from your world."

It feels waterproof and fireproof.

Jun Qiulan had indeed never seen it before, "Take it away first."

It's not advisable to stay here for long.

Fortunately, the Imperial Master came to Jun Qiulan to plot a rebellion and did not bring any followers with him.

Moreover, this teahouse itself should have some connection with the national teacher.

It’s better to leave first.

It was still early and the city gates were not locked yet.

Jun Qiulan took Yan Jing's hand and swaggered out of the city gate.

He even muttered, "Why do you have to go up the mountain to watch the sunset at this time of year? Aren't you too cold? And you don't even let the servants drive the carriage, insisting on walking?"

Yan Jing agreed: "Your Highness dotes on me. Don't you think it's romantic to take a walk in the afterglow of the sunset?"

When the soldiers guarding the gate heard this, they could only complain in their hearts.

After walking quite a distance, the Huo family soldiers who were responsible for picking them up arrived.

He also brought them two fast horses.

"Master Jun, Mr. Yan, please get on the horse."

You can't drive the car out at this time.

We have to wait until night falls.

But they couldn't just sit there and wait, because the news of the imperial teacher's death would surely spread throughout the capital soon.

Once someone realizes that Jun Qiulan is missing, they will start chasing him.

Let’s leave first.

Yan Jing: "Before you left, did you leave a letter in the study?"

Jun Qiulan whipped his horse and said, "It's left for the emperor. I wonder if he can understand it."

His feelings towards the emperor were indeed complicated.

The letter didn't say anything else, just told him not to take that kind of pill anymore.

To put it bluntly, it's poisonous.

He was also asked to seek proper treatment from the imperial physician.

This is not only for the emperor's health, but also for the people of the world.

If the emperor really died suddenly, the court would immediately fall into chaos, and the people would suffer.

According to the default rules of this world, as long as the emperor is still in power, he will still have some deterrent power.

As for whether the princes' relatives would directly rebel, that was not a problem they could consider.

After all, they are also traitors if they leave first.

He rode his horse for a long distance without stopping.

Jun Qiulan was worried about Yan Jing, "Are you okay? Otherwise, I'll take you back first."

For speed, the two men each rode a horse.

Yan Jing had indeed never experienced such a galloping horse, but how could he feel at ease?

"Let's run a little further, it's getting dark."

Jun Qiulan could only say okay, but when they turned another corner, a familiar person appeared in front of them.

It was Huang Liang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who welcomed Jun Qiulan into the city on the day he entered the capital.

Jun Qiulan reined in his horse, "Commander Huang, I don't want to embarrass you, so just pretend you didn't see us."

Commander Huang was also on horseback: "His Majesty has issued a secret order, requiring this humble servant to wait here for His Majesty."

In a word, there is too much information.

Huang Liang didn't say much and directly sealed a secret decree. "Your Majesty has another oral instruction. If there is rebellion in the court, there is no need to open the secret decree I gave you before. Just open this one directly."

After saying that, Huang Liang also rode his horse in the opposite direction and went back.

Jun Qiulan was silent, looking at the imperial edict in his hand. After a long time, he sighed.

Yan Jing: "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

They haven't opened the previous imperial edict yet.

This imperial edict was delivered directly by Huang Liang himself, and he arrived before them. It seemed that he had known that Jun Qiulan was leaving.

Jun Qiulan hesitated for a moment, but still opened the imperial edict.

The content of the imperial edict is simple and clear.

The emperor wants to pass the throne to him, and this is a secret decree of succession.

There was only one condition: Jun Qiulan had to adopt the seventh prince who had passed away earlier as his son and pass the throne to the seventh prince in the future.

The seventh prince was the little prince who was born weak, and the imperial teacher suggested that he should benefit the people.

The little prince's maternal relatives are not very powerful.

After reading it, Jun Qiulan didn't know what to think, it was a mess.

It seems that there is not much error from his guess.

The emperor was actually very clear about his own situation if he left first, and he also knew what Jun Qiulan and the others would do if they left first.

Yan Jing: "The previous imperial decree probably also asked you to be regent?"

Jun Qiulan sighed and collected the imperial edict. "Let's go and continue our journey."

Whether to make him regent or emperor, it is no longer his pursuit.

Night falls.

"Brothers, please go ahead."

Several palace soldiers bowed, "Master Jun and Mr. Yan, please be safe. We will go ahead to explore the way."

Another part stayed behind.

One is to intercept some killers, and the other is to get some useful information.

Jun Qiulan cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, please be careful too."

After everyone left, Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing returned to the modern era.

Time was running out, so the two of them hurried out and went to the warehouse.

Driving back to ancient times again, Yan Jing was responsible for driving.

Fortunately, the official road in Dasheng has been well-maintained. Although it is uneven, bumpy, and winding, at least it is passable.

Yan Jing's driving skills are much more proficient than Jun Qiulan's.

In the darkness of night, a pitch-black hard-core off-road vehicle shuttled along the ancient highway.

Jun Qiulan was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling a little frightened.

"Please drive slower."

Yan Jing: "It would be safer to return to the border town as soon as possible."

Jun Qiulan sighed, "Actually, I think the journey back shouldn't be that dangerous."

The emperor knew that he was leaving and had prepared the imperial edict in advance, so he naturally would not send troops to assassinate him.

As for the other princes and relatives, if they wanted to send someone to assassinate him, they would probably have to get the emperor's approval first.

Yan Jing had never seen this emperor, but through a series of his actions, he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person he was.

He has some brains, but not much, and is quite stubborn.

In the second half of the night, Jun Qiulan was ready to send Yan Jing back.

"You still have to go to the crew tomorrow."

Yan Jing: "I'll just lie down in the back seat of the car for a while and go back in the morning. You haven't slept all day, and I'm worried."

Jun Qiulan had no choice but to slow down the car.

It was not until dawn that they joined up with the soldiers from the government who had set out earlier.

Jun Qiulan took Yan Jing back to take a nap. They camouflaged the car with a tarpaulin and asked a few palace soldiers to help watch over it.

They remained in this state for the rest of the period.

Hurry and rest.

Yan Jing's filming is coming to an end.

The actors are all discussing when the movie will be released.

I didn’t even have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so I said I was going to finish the filming in one go, and then give myself a vacation for a while.

Not to mention, although Yan Jing's crew treated him very well in all aspects, it was also hard work.

The main reason is that Yan Jing has high requirements, and they have to concentrate highly at all times and not let down their guard.

Jun Qiulan also spent his birthday and New Year on the road. Fortunately, he was able to go back during the day to reunite with his mother and others.

It’s hard for my father to be alone in the border town.

But there is no need to worry. With so many like-minded comrades together in the border town, it should be lively.

Song Xirong and Jun Shuwan, together with the Huo family, young and old, celebrated a lively and unique New Year at home.

Even if we can't go out, we can still see the lights and fireworks of the world through the windows.

They also have a new understanding of the world and a clearer understanding of the new world they are pursuing.

But at the same time, the actors in the crew also discovered that Jun Qiulan seemed to have not appeared in the public eye for a long time.

Ever since Jun Qiulan finished filming, there has been almost no news about him on the Internet.

Not only the actors are curious, but the fans are also curious.

Qu Feng also played a role in Yan Jing's movie, but after the filming was completed, he resumed work one after another.

Participate in variety shows, various award ceremonies at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, or various evening parties, and occasionally live broadcast to interact with fans.

Even Fu Xiao, who has always kept a low profile, can occasionally be found out about his whereabouts through paparazzi or fans he meets by chance.

There are also other actors, both new and old, who appear in the audience's field of vision to varying degrees.

There was only Jun Qiulan. After the filming was completed, there was no news about him.

During the Chinese New Year, I just sent a simple blessing on Weibo.

Countless fans rushed to the account of Jun Qiulan’s amateur studio to ask questions.

Xu Su was also helpless.

After Yan Jing's movie was completed, Jun Qiulan told him directly not to take any work for the time being.

Now her work mailbox is full of good notices.

Movies, TV series, variety shows, endorsements, all kinds of things, but I couldn't take any of them.

It indirectly benefits the tension.

Those crews that came originally wanted to find Jun Qiulan, and Xu Su also took the opportunity to contact these crews.

After a while, Zhang Li got a lot of work.

This made the couple feel quite embarrassed.

Now that the fans are making a fuss, Xu Su can only call Jun Qiulan.

The call was obviously not going through, so she had to settle for the next best thing and look for Liu Yue.

Liu Yue roughly knew what Jun Qiulan was busy with, but she couldn't say it.

I could only vaguely say, "Lanlan is studying recently."

She changed the subject, "By the way, wasn't the image ambassador position we arranged for Lanlan to shoot the spring collection in winter? They said a while ago that it's been postponed. What's the arrangement like there now?"

Jun Qiulan took this job as an image ambassador when she won the Best Newcomer Award.

But it was summer at that time, and the brand asked Jun Qiulan to shoot the promotion for next spring's collection, so the shooting time was naturally set at the end of the year.

As a result, some time ago, the brand notified us that the filming would be postponed.

When the postponement was announced, Jun Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have to find time to film while he was a prince, or he would have to squeeze out two days from his travel time.

"That's the matter. The brand now wants Jun Qiulan to go abroad, and she's no longer an image ambassador, but has been directly upgraded to a spokesperson." Xu Su had just received the news.

The treatment of spokespersons and image ambassadors is completely different. The original shooting plan was rejected and a new one was drawn up.

If you want to go abroad, or to a country in Africa, next year's spring style will be primitive and wild.

Liu Yue was pleasantly surprised, but also a bit surprised: "How did you suddenly become a spokesperson?"

Generally speaking, the image ambassador of such a big brand is equivalent to the spokesperson's probation period, which can be as short as a year and a half, or as long as three to five years.

Whether or not he can become the spokesperson in the end is still an unknown.

As a result, their Lanlan’s image ambassador role hasn’t even started filming yet, and they skipped the probation period?

Xu Su's ability was also limited. After contacting the other party, they only said that Jun Qiulan met their criteria for selecting a spokesperson.

In that case, what else can they say?

Liu Yue thought about the time Lan Lan told him and asked again, "Has the filming time over there been set?"

"It's settled. It has to be done as soon as possible. Once Lanlan's visa is approved, we'll go abroad directly."

Liu Yue hesitated for a moment, "I still have to talk to Lanlan."

I don’t know if Lanlan rushed back to the border town at that time.

Xu Su: "What on earth are you two hiding from me?"

Even if Jun Qiulan was in love with Director Yan Jing, she wouldn't stop working for a long time.

If they weren't just a makeshift team, fans would probably think Jun Qiulan had been shelved.

Liu Yue couldn't explain, let alone take the initiative to expose Lanlan's secret.

"I'll let Lanlan tell you in person later."

Xu Su was helpless. "Lan Lan had asked me to help him get a variety show. Qu Feng's agent contacted me, and we've also contacted the production team. It's almost been confirmed. Don't tell me that this variety show can't be accepted?"

Is this artist too Buddhist?

"It shouldn't be that serious." Liu Yue said, "Lanlan may just want to take it easy next time. You know, Lanlan has never been to a formal school before, and he's still young. He probably wants to settle down and study for a while."

Xu Su understood.

Now the news about Jun Qiulan on the Internet, that is, his academic qualifications are always criticized.

You don’t have to have a degree, but you cannot be without knowledge. It’s also good to learn more knowledge.

After Jun Qiulan heard the news, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll do a live broadcast during the day."

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Sorry, sorry, I'm so late today.

As usual, there will be small red envelopes dropped. Thank you for your understanding and support.

By the way, p s:

I wonder if anyone has the same symptoms as me. I tend to get migraines during my period. I saw a doctor on Douyin who had to wear headphones to listen to the doctor [狗头]

The acetaminophen tablets he recommended are very effective. They can relieve labor pains and help with sleep.
