The interior is like an ink pen dipped into water, dark and dark, then slowly fades away, the brightening sky dispelling the darkness.

Zhu Zan heard the movement behind him and turned around to meet Miss Jun's gaze.

She did not get up and remained wrapped in the quilt, only staring at Zhu Zan with her eyes.

Zhu Zan held his clothes tightly and was on guard.

"What do you want to do?" he said.

Miss Jun couldn't help laughing, but her expression soon calmed down again.

"You didn't sleep all night?" she asked.

Although he didn't look as shocked as I was, he must have been shocked to hear such a shocking thing. Just like me, I hid in the quilt and didn't sleep all night. He also sat like this all night.

"The more I think about it, the more scary and ridiculous it seems," she said with a self-deprecating smile.

Zhu Zan frowned.

"The truth of the matter is still unclear." He said, "Perhaps this was done by the King of Qi alone, and your royal grandfather was not aware of it."

How do you interpret the late emperor’s edict?

And can one person do this kind of thing?

Although we don't know the exact details yet, I don't think the truth will be much better than what we are guessing now.

Miss Jun lowered her eyes.

"Besides, even if it is true, there is nothing to think about." Zhu Zan continued, "Isn't it just a struggle for imperial power? Isn't this rare? To put it bluntly, the late emperor was unwilling to take back the Emperor Renxiao. Although it was unreasonable, it was very reasonable for an emperor who was greedy for imperial power. Of course, what he did was wrong and his character was not very good, but there is really nothing to think about this matter."

Having said this, he touched his nose again.

"Of course, I'm different from you. In my eyes, he is an emperor. Of course, the heart of an emperor cannot be taken for granted. To put it bluntly, the emperor and his subjects rely on each other and are wary of each other. I have never expected an emperor to be kind and benevolent."

Anyway, in his eyes, the emperor was a bad guy, and there was nothing surprising when bad guys did bad things.

It was so straightforward that it was cruel. Miss Jun understood what he meant.

Zhu Zan's voice slowed down again.

"And you, that was your grandfather, that was your great-grandfather, and your uncle. In your heart, they are your family members. It is really scary and hard to accept that your family members would fight for their lives in such a cold-blooded way."

Miss Jun lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled again.

"Really? It's such a terrible thing, but when you say it like that, it makes it seem like I'm just making a fuss out of nothing." She said.

"What else? Now that things have come to this, do you want to apologize to God for your grandfather's sins?" Zhu Zan said, spreading his hands.

Miss Jun glanced at him.

"If the ransom had been sufficient, regardless of the life or death of Emperor Renxiao, the war probably wouldn't have been so brutal and lasted for more than a decade, right?" she said.

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows.

"What you said is ridiculous." He said in a deep voice, "Redeem? Let's not talk about the fact that the Jin bandits broke into my city, slaughtered my people and occupied my land. Just the word redemption is a shame. This kind of shame can only be washed away by a bloody battle. At that time, perhaps the late emperor was sincere in negotiating peace, but the Jin people were definitely not resigned to their evil intentions. It didn't matter to them whether the ransom was insufficient or sufficient. If it was insufficient, they would take the opportunity to make trouble. Even if it was sufficient, they would not stop there."

He looked proud and angry.

"And my father and other officers and soldiers fought against the Jin people. Was it just to kill Emperor Renxiao? Even if they returned Emperor Renxiao, what about the blood revenge of hundreds of thousands of my people? What about the land they occupied? Are you saying this now to be fair to the officers and soldiers who fought for more than ten years and sacrificed countless lives?"

Miss Jun lifted the quilt and sat up straight.

"I just said it casually, why are you so angry?" she said.

"You can't just talk about this kind of thing casually." Zhu Zan said with a stern face.

Miss Jun said "Oh".

"I was wrong." She said with a smile.

Zhu Zan snorted and turned around.

"I just feel ashamed." Miss Jun continued.

Hearing this, Zhu Zan turned around again.

"What are you ashamed of?" he said.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"I always thought it was fair that I survived, but now it seems..." she said.

"What happened now? Isn't this more confirmed now?" Zhu Zan interrupted her and said, "Your great-grandfather ignored your father and brother for his own selfish desires, and your uncle killed his brother and forced your father to death to seize the throne. Isn't this the retribution of heaven? How fair and just it is."

Miss Jun looked at him with a strange expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Zhu Zan said, folding his arms and raising his head, looking down from above.

"This is obviously a very sad thing, but when you talk about it, it seems a bit frivolous and funny," said Miss Jun.

Zhu Zan was not embarrassed and smiled.

"Perhaps the things in this world are ridiculous in the first place," he said calmly. "We laugh at others, others laugh at us, we laugh at our predecessors, and future generations laugh at us. Who is right and who is wrong? People have a clear conscience, and heaven will be fair."

Miss Jun didn't say anything.

"No matter what your royal grandfather did, it is not a reason for your father to be killed by your royal uncle." Zhu Zan said, "And it has nothing to do with your revenge for your father."

Miss Jun said "Oh" and looked at Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan also looked at her.

Neither of them spoke. They seemed to be waiting for the other to speak, but they didn't know what to say. They just stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Miss Jun laughed first. Zhu Zan suddenly lost his previous shyness and turned his eyes away uncomfortably.

"What's funny is that now I have to overturn everything I planned. Not only can I not stop it, but I also have to convince Mrs. Fang to let those people take the money away." Miss Jun said.

As she spoke, she untied her messy hair with one hand, simply tied it up again, and got out of bed.

Because she slept in the quilt all night without taking off her clothes, her clothes were a little messy. Miss Jun lowered her head to tidy them up, and Zhu Zan rolled his eyes and turned away.

"Of course. This is a royal scandal after all. No wonder the Fang family wanted to be murdered to silence them. Although the official silver of the third year of Taiyan was made in secret and not many people knew about it, such a big thing as silver casting was recorded and someone must have known about it. Once it was leaked, it would be..." he said, and before he finished speaking Miss Jun suddenly came over and hugged him.

"Thank you," she whispered.

This was not the first time she hugged him, nor was it the first time she touched him. It seemed like this was the first time she said thank you, Zhu Zan thought with his body stiff and his mind a little confused.

She had gone crazy once outside Prince Huai's palace. When he promised her that he would save her life if she cured Prince Huai, of course he now understood why she suddenly went crazy at that time.

That is to express gratitude, gratitude that cannot be expressed in words, but now this gratitude can be expressed.

Thank goodness she has him, who allows her to speak freely and vent her feelings, otherwise she would have gone crazy.

In this case, it would be rude not to reciprocate, so he shouldn't be too stingy.

Zhu Zan raised his hand to return the gift, but the person in his arms let go of his hand and walked away.

"I'm going to do something," she said, and walked out quickly.

Zhu Zan's hand was still suspended in mid-air.

"Hey." He couldn't help but shout.

Miss Jun turned around and looked at him.

"What?" she asked.

"So, it was all in vain?" Zhu Zan said while looking aside.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Ah, it was a waste of time, what happened?" she said.

Zhu Zan was a little speechless.

"No big deal," he said. "Just asking."

Miss Jun smiled, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Zan then looked towards the door and clenched his fingers.

"I've looked, touched, and hugged her, but you're not responsible," he muttered.

…

Standing outside the door of the Fang family mansion again, Miss Jun felt mixed emotions and her steps were heavy. The determination she had when she returned from the capital was gone, and she didn't even know how to face Old Madam Fang.

At this moment, she also imagined Zhu Zan's first reaction after learning about the matter and swearing.

Oh my God, you really treat everything as a straw dog.
