When Lu Yunqi appeared, everyone on the street ran away. The people who were standing far away and watching quietly became a little nervous when they saw this scene.
Although no one could hear what Lu Yunqi and Miss Jun said before, everyone vaguely heard Zhu Zan's shout.
"Could it be that Miss Jun was moved by Lu Qianhu?"
"How is that possible?"
"The prince is jealous."
A low murmur of discussion arose.
Miss Jun certainly would not think that Zhu Zan was jealous as everyone guessed.
Not seeing him naturally reminded her that she could do it.
Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan with a hesitant expression.
He can do it, but...
"You can't do it." Lu Yunqi said.
Zhu Zan grabbed Miss Jun's wrist with one hand and pointed at Lu Yunqi with the other.
"Get lost." He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to take a gamble on whether I can kill you?"
Lu Yunqi also said this just now.
In the two battles since arriving in Beijing, both of them had openly concealed their murderous intentions, but they also knew that this was not the time to kill the other.
Each has his own concerns.
But the reason why people are human is that they have both reason and emotion. When emotion really overcomes reason, they will really kill the other person without caring about anything and just for the sake of momentary anger.
"I'm not afraid that you will kill me." Lu Yunqi said, his eyes falling on Miss Jun again, "I'm afraid that if you kill me, she will be in trouble."
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
"When you've made up your mind, come find me anytime."
These words were naturally spoken to Miss Jun.
Miss Jun looked at his back with a complicated expression.
Zhu Zan reached out and held her head and turned it around.
"What are you looking at? There's nothing good to see." he shouted.
Miss Jun didn't turn her head again, but just nodded and lowered her head, being so obedient that it was annoying.
Zhu Zan flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Liu'er, who was locked inside by Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu to prevent her from causing trouble without knowing the seriousness of the situation, was also released.
"Miss." She rushed over angrily and nervously, "Are you okay?"
Miss Jun raised her head, smiled, and touched her head.
"It's okay, I'm fine," she said.
…
"I found out."
At noon, Shopkeeper Liu and Chen Qi came in hurriedly. Without even sitting down, Shopkeeper Liu began to speak.
Miss Jun and others who were about to eat hurriedly stood up.
"What happened? What disease? Why did it happen so suddenly?" Fang Jinxiu asked in one breath.
"It's not a disease." Chen Qi waved his hand and said.
Not a disease?
Is it an injury?
Was it Lu Yunqi who injured Jiuqi?
Miss Jun clenched her clasped hands tightly.
"It's caused by an evil spirit." Shopkeeper Liu said with a complicated expression.
Evil? What is this?
Fang Jinxiu looked stunned, and Miss Jun was startled for a moment, then she thought of something.
"It wasn't Lu Yunqi who did it." She murmured, her expression becoming complicated.
It wasn't directed specifically at her.
She was slightly relieved to know that evil spirits were not a disease, but she was then filled with even greater anger and sadness.
Her nine-legged creatures are neither human nor ghost, and they are pulled out and used as tools to add glory to them.
It's really an evil spirit. A man who should have been a prince, a crown prince, or an emperor has ended up like this.
She sat down slowly and lowered her head again.
At this time, inside the Lu residence, upon hearing that Lu Yunqi had returned, Princess Jiuli, who had been sitting quietly and doing nothing, immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door to greet him.
"Jiuqi he..." she asked. Although her expression was the same as usual, her voice was filled with anxiety.
"Your Highness is fine." Lu Yunqi said.
Princess Jiuli also believed what Lu Yunqi said. This man never lied whether it was good or bad, so there was no need for him to do so.
"What's going on with that evil spirit?" Jiuli asked, "Is it a nightmare?"
"No." Lu Yunqi said, "Nothing happened."
Jiuli looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"There's no smoke without fire," Lu Yunqi said, pausing for a moment. "It was Huang Cheng's people who spread the news."
Huang Cheng?
Huang Cheng's followers were spread throughout the court, and naturally there were many officials in the royal palace as well.
However, Prince Huai's Palace was different from other princely palaces in that it did not have any palace officials. Instead, it was controlled by Lu Yunqi alone. Without his permission, it was impossible for any news about Prince Huai to spread.
Unless the emperor allows it.
Jiuli looked at Lu Yunqi, surprise, confusion, and uneasiness in his eyes, but they all disappeared and he returned to silence.
So what if it's evil? Life and death are just a matter of words. There's nothing to be surprised about.
Maybe she had been living too comfortably lately and had forgotten who she was.
Jiuli smiled, turned around and walked inside.
"It's not directed at Prince Huai." Lu Yunqi said from behind, "You don't have to worry."
Jiuli did not stop.
"I'm not worried," she said, without turning around. "There's nothing to worry about."
What's the use of worrying?
Are you going to die together with others like Jiuling did?
Thinking of this, she stopped abruptly.
What about that girl?
She thought in confusion.
"Are you going to force her?" she asked, turning her head.
Lu Yunqi looked at her.
"Do you also feel that this matter can force her?" he said.
feel?
Yes, why did she feel that the safety of King Huai could force her? She was clearly someone who had nothing to do with them.
Princess Jiuli held her hand.
"Because she's a good person," she said.
Lu Yunqi smiled.
"One person's feeling may be wrong, two people may be wrong, but if three people feel the same way, then it seems that the feeling is right," he said. "This thing was not originally for her, but now for me, it is just for her."
He said stop raising your hands.
"Someone come."
A Jinyiwei guard immediately walked in from outside the door and leaned over to answer the call.
"Prince Huai's Mansion will never allow the Duke of Cheng's son Zhu Zan to enter." Lu Yunqi said with his head tilted, "No matter what the cost."
The Jinyiwei responded with "yes", lowered their heads and walked out.
Princess Jiuli has come back.
"What on earth are you going to do?" she asked.
Lu Yunqi shook his head at her.
"No, not you." He said, "I am just me. I just want to threaten that girl. As for the others, they probably want to give a gift to Cheng Guogong."
For the sake of Duke Cheng?
Jiuli was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly.
"They don't think that Duke Cheng is from my father's old party," she said.
"You'll know if it's true or not if you try it," said Lu Yunqi.
…
As dusk fell, more news was learned.
"It is said that an evil spirit has entered the miasma, and they want to send Prince Huai to the imperial mausoleum, so that he can be safe under the protection of the ancestors." Shopkeeper Liu said in a low voice, "This is the news that has just been spread from the court."
Miss Jun sat there, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and seemed a little absent-minded.
"It is absolutely true that the matter was entrusted to a servant of a lord in the inner cabinet. It will be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow." Chen Qi continued.
Miss Jun came to her senses and shook her head.
"The news cannot be false. Since it has been spread, it is for people to know and it will not be kept secret," she said.
Chen Qi sighed.
"His Highness Prince Huai is so pitiful." He said, "How can the imperial mausoleum compare to the palace? He is such a young child, and it is said that he is not allowed to bring his usual servants with him."
When he said this, his eyes rolled around.
"Why can't it accommodate?"
The words were so low that they were barely audible.
But everyone in the room heard it, and they all understood what the words meant. They understood that the emperor could not tolerate the existence of Prince Huai, and would eventually expel him from the capital, where he would die under the pretext of having evil spirits.
Although they heard it, because it was something that could not be said, everyone pretended not to hear it.
"It's not just for Prince Huai." Miss Jun said, looking up, "What they want more is to see who will stand up and oppose, and see who is still the old party of the prince."
Shopkeeper Liu and Chen Qi looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.
Duke of Cheng.
They came up with this idea at the same time.
"Has the prince returned?" Fang Jinxiu asked suddenly.
Shopkeeper Liu and Chen Qi's hearts skipped a beat again and they subconsciously looked at Miss Jun.
After Lu Yunqi's commotion, Chen Qi went to inquire about the news, and Zhu Zan also left, saying that he was going to inquire about the news, and has not returned until now.
The room fell silent.
