It hurts a lot.

She was hacked to death with a knife, so of course it hurt.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"Do you know how I died?" she asked.

In any case, he didn't die of illness as people say.

Zhu Zan looked at her.

"I checked." He said, looking away and exhaling.

It was difficult to investigate this, and it was not a very pleasant thing. It was like watching her die in front of my own eyes, over and over again.

Whether it's a knife, a sword, poison, wine, or silk, death is always painful.

This question is really boring.

Why is he asking this?

"I, I'll go down." Zhu Zan said while turning his head and was about to turn around.

"It hurts a lot." Miss Jun said, "Especially when I cut the second time. I didn't react to the first cut, and then I couldn't react to the pain of the subsequent cuts. Later..."

"Okay, stop talking." Zhu Zan couldn't help but interrupt her.

Miss Jun stopped and smiled.

"Did that scare you?" she said.

"What am I afraid of? There's nothing to be scared of." Zhu Zan said angrily, "I just feel sorry for you."

He almost bit off his tongue as he said this.

What nonsense are you talking about!

What nonsense did he say!

Oh my god!

I'm going to die!

He covered his mouth with his hand, turned around and walked quickly outside. Perhaps because he was too hasty or too panicky, he almost tripped over the threshold and stumbled out.

Miss Jun was stunned and laughed. The more she laughed, the more she wanted to laugh, and she just laughed out loud.

Hearing this laughter, Zhu Zan, who had already rushed to the door of the house where he lived, pressed his forehead again and gritted his teeth.

I can actually laugh.

Which woman can laugh after hearing this?

The thought flashed through my mind and I couldn't help laughing.

Which woman can be that? It can be Jun Jiuling.

Zhu Zan reached out and patted the door, then let out a breath.

Jun Jiuling is Chu Jiuling, she has always been herself.

She has always been a perverted...

Zhu Zan was a little dazed again and turned to look at Miss Jun's room.

Is she really back?

Really not dead?

It should be her. She called out his name in Runan back then, and only she would look at him with such eyes.

The surprise of meeting an old friend again.

Old friend.

So it turned out that she knew him and remembered him.

Zhu Zan felt very uneasy as he held onto the door panel. He turned around, stomped his feet, pushed the door open and ran in.

"Oh my god." Chen Qi, who was standing in the corridor, said in Yangcheng dialect, "I am blind. I actually saw the prince twisting and turning like a woman."

…

Duke Cheng had no idea that his son was in turmoil at the moment. He remained calm as usual, and after discussing with his staff for a night, he had finished writing the memorial requesting an award for Miss Jun.

"Have you thought it through?"

Madam Yu asked as she put on the court robes for Duke Cheng.

"If this is reported, I don't think you will be able to keep your military power."

Duke Cheng smiled.

"Even if I don't submit this memorial, I won't be able to keep my military power," he said. "It's better to take advantage of it while I can."

Madam Yu laughed and patted Duke Cheng on the back.

"I know that the Duke is a man who will not take any loss." She smiled, "The same is true for Miss Jun."

Duke Cheng looked at her.

"You mean to say that people from the same family should stay together?" He smiled gently, "It would be a pity if we are not a family when we go out, right?"

Mrs. Yu smiled.

"It's not a pity. I invited this daughter-in-law so that this boy wouldn't enjoy the good life and take advantage of her." She said, "He doesn't cherish what he didn't get by himself. Look at him. When he regrets it in the future, he can figure out a way to deal with it himself."

Duke Cheng smiled.

"Miss Jun is a good person," he said, and then paused for a moment, "but Zan'er may not think so."

Madam Yu also frowned, as if she was thinking of something worrying, and opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself.

"Forget it. Marriage is a lifelong matter. It will be sad for the rest of your life if it's not what you want. Just let it be," she said.

Duke Cheng nodded.

"Yes, not everyone is as lucky as me to find someone who shares the same ideals with whom to spend their life," he said.

Madam Yu laughed and patted Duke Cheng on the shoulder.

"It is," she said.

There was a cough outside the door, and the two looked and saw Zhu Zan coming over.

"Why did you come back so early?" asked Mrs. Yu.

Zhu Zan said "oh".

"Dad, isn't he going to court today? I'll come back to take a look." He said, and then looked at Duke Cheng, "Dad, have you written the memorial?"

"There's nothing false about this." said Duke Cheng.

"Don't you want to think about it again?" Zhu Zan asked.

"When a man does something, his words should be spoken with conviction," said Duke Cheng. "Don't look ahead or behind."

Then he walked out.

Zhu Zan said "oh" and said nothing more.

"Isn't this exactly what you want?" Madam Yu said with a half-smile, and then looked at Zhu Zan, "Why do you look unhappy?"

"This kind of reputation is a small matter. There is no reason to be happy or unhappy." Zhu Zan said, "What I care about is the safety of my father and Miss Jun."

Madam Yu looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" she asked.

"Mom." Zhu Zan shouted.

Duke Chengguo laughed and stopped the two from talking.

"Well, don't tease him anymore." He said, and looked at Zhu Zan again, "Don't worry, this is a matter of time. Instead of waiting for others to take action, it's better to face it yourself."

Zhu Zan hummed and nodded, and together with Madam Yu, he saw Duke Cheng out.

The guards were already lined up outside the door. Duke Cheng took the reins, jumped on his horse, and rode away into the morning light.

"Mom, I'll go then." Zhu Zan said.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Yu asked, a little surprised.

"Of course it's Jiulingtang." Zhu Zan answered, also a little surprised, "Do I need to ask this?"

"Aren't you trying to avoid it? Are you unwilling to do it?" Madam Yu looked at him, "What's wrong with you today?"

Zhu Zan had a frown on his face.

"What's wrong with me, Mom? Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the priorities? There are so many important things right now," he said.

Madam Yu made a sound of "Pooh".

"Come on," she said, "I don't know you yet."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Zan and suddenly realized.

"Why are you so happy today?"

Zhu Zan blinked.

"Am I happy?" he said.

"You're smiling so hard that you can't close your mouth." Madam Yu frowned and looked at him, "I was wondering why you look so weird."

Zhu Zan reached out and touched his face.

"No, mother, don't talk nonsense." He said, "There is nothing to be happy about at this time."

He bowed without waiting for Mrs. Yu to say anything.

"I'm going to be busy now."

Madam Yu sighed twice and watched Zhu Zan walk away in two or three steps.

Are you smiling from ear to ear?

Where is that?

Zhu Zan stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his mouth. His smile faded and the corners of his mouth lifted. He quickly coughed and closed his mouth, but the next moment he couldn't help but raised his mouth again. Finally, he strode down the street with a mouthful of white teeth showing.

…

The emperor was in a good mood as he looked at Duke Cheng who had submitted the memorial.

Duke Cheng had already read out the contents of the memorial in public. The hall was now filled with a buzz of discussion, and the officials had different expressions.

"So, everything is just a temporary measure." The emperor raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said gently, "The rescue and escort of refugees in the north was actually Miss Jun's idea. They just used your name for convenience?"

Duke Cheng bowed.

"That's right," he said. "She was the one who came to the Jin territory to rescue me from the siege. It was not arranged by me in advance."

"If that's the case, then aren't all the credits for the North due to Miss Jun? Your Majesty has praised the wrong person?" an official said with a half-smile.

Duke Cheng turned and looked at him.

"Of course not." He said, "If I hadn't guarded the North and trained strong soldiers and generals, Miss Jun wouldn't have had the opportunity."

Many officials present were stunned.

He praised himself so decisively and calmly.

So shameless!
