Just when half of Zezhou City was in chaos because of the fire in Deshengchang, the capital city was calm and sunny.

The four gates of the capital were still tightly closed, and no one was seen coming or going outside; after all, Jin soldiers were still roaming around outside the city.

But the atmosphere at the city gate was much better. The broken walls and ruins that had been burned had been repaired, and there were many people walking on the street, but they were quite cautious when speaking and greeting each other.

This is not about being careful of the Jin soldiers, but about being careful not to say something that shouldn't be said and get caught by the soldiers.

A horse-drawn carriage was pulled out in front of Jiuling Hall. Several servants carefully arranged the carriage and the horses, while seven or eight guards looked around vigilantly.

Many people on the street have already looked over here.

"Is Miss Jun coming out?"

As the news spread, more people gathered here.

Ever since she said the shocking words "Please make Prince Huai the King" in front of the imperial mausoleum, Miss Jun has not appeared in public again.

I think she also knows how shocking what she said is.

"Where are we going?"

"Are you going to the imperial mausoleum to interrogate the emperor again?"

People were looking at this place, pointing and talking curiously. They thought that discussing where Miss Jun was going would not get them arrested like discussing whether Prince Huai should be made the crown prince. The streets were noisy and bustling.

The atmosphere in Jiuling Hall is quiet and solemn.

"Are you really going?" Chen Qi frowned and looked at Miss Jun who came out.

Miss Jun is dressed formally today, which she only does when she is attending an audience.

"Can you resist?"

Before Miss Jun could say anything, Fang Jinxiu said unhappily.

Chen Qi chuckled.

"I have no idea. If Miss Jun wants to, there must be a way," he said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Neither did I." She said, "After all, I am not a high-ranking official who can refuse the Emperor and Empress Dowager's order out of righteousness."

After all, she is just a lady of status, not to mention that she now has the reputation of being a domineering and arrogant person.

"That's even better. You can resist the order before I give you a response to your request." Fang Jinxiu snorted, "It will only make you more arrogant and domineering anyway."

Chen Qi reached out and poked her, but Miss Jun didn't care and just smiled.

"No matter how arrogant you are, you still want to talk," she said. "A stalemate will not solve the problem. We still have to talk. Since the Queen Mother wants to talk to me now, there is nothing I dare not say."

Fang Jinxiu curled her lips.

"What are you talking about? It's obvious that they want you to go and reprimand him." she said.

"Scolding is also a conversation. The Queen Mother can scold, and I can refute." Miss Jun said, looking in the direction of the palace, "and there are some things I really want to ask her."

Ask her, she makes it seem like she is on equal footing with the Queen Mother, this attitude is really arrogant.

She had always thought that Jun Zhenzhen was very arrogant, especially after she broke off the engagement with the Ning family.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinxiu paused for a moment.

Logically speaking, breaking off the engagement with the Ning family should have shown that Jun Zhenzhen was aware of current affairs and had become sensible and sensible, but why did she feel that Jun Zhenzhen had become arrogant from the bottom of her heart since then, and that it was not just superficial before?

In the bones.

From the moment she called Jun Jiuling?

Is it in the bones of the man called Jun Jiuling?

Fang Jinxiu looked at the woman getting on the carriage. There was no maid to help her. Liu'er had already been sent to the place where the military families of Qingshan gathered under the pretext of helping her. She didn't need anyone to help her and got on the carriage swiftly.

The carriage drove towards the palace amidst the guards and the pointing of the people.

Fang Jinxiu silently watched the carriages and horses gradually moving away from her sight.

"Is the palace safe?" she asked suddenly.

"Safe." Chen Qi whispered, "Not to mention that everyone is watching the Queen Mother's every move. Because the Jin soldiers and the Emperor are not in the Imperial City, the Queen Mother has transferred a group of Qingshan soldiers to the palace as imperial guards."

The Queen Mother had no choice but to trust the bravery and reputation of the Qingshan Army and specifically asked them to guard the palace. She was not happy that not many people came.

With these people around, Miss Miyabi is safe.

Fang Jinxiu said nothing more and looked at the direction where the carriage had disappeared on the street.

…

Miss Jun got off the carriage in front of the palace gate and met Ning Yan and several other ministers coming out. When they saw her, they all had complicated expressions.

"Ms. Jun, I still hope you can understand the meaning of duty." Ning Yan thought for a moment and then stepped forward and said.

Miss Jun smiled at him.

"Yes, I have always kept it in mind and never forgot it," she said.

This duty is justice.

Ning Yan wanted to say something, but the eunuch waiting in front of the palace gate seemed a little impatient.

"Lord Ning, the Queen Mother is still waiting." he urged.

Ning Yan glanced at the eunuch.

"I think Your Majesty should not discuss state affairs before His Majesty returns to the palace," he said.

The eunuch smiled.

"Master Ning, you are joking. The Queen and the County Magistrate are both women, how could they make irresponsible comments on state affairs?" He said, emphasizing the words "women" and "recklessly discussing". "The Queen summoned the County Magistrate to come here, it was just a casual conversation between women. Do you think that the County Magistrate can speak, so the Queen can speak without permission?"

Ning Yan would not argue with these eunuchs and just looked at him coldly.

The eunuch didn't dare to anger such an important official, so he stopped talking and gestured to Miss Jun again.

Miss Jun bowed to Ning Yan and followed the eunuch inside.

Ning Yan shook his head.

"Master Ning, please go."

"Let's discuss this again when your Majesty returns."

Other officials whispered.

When mentioning His Majesty, Ning Yan frowned again.

"I am going to the imperial mausoleum and then ask Your Majesty to return to the palace," he said.

What's the point of always pushing and hiding like this?

Other officials also nodded.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace today no matter what."

"If you don't return to the palace, we will kneel outside the imperial mausoleum forever."

Everyone talked about it, and then they all prepared their carriages and horses immediately.

Not to mention that these officials were heading towards the imperial mausoleum, Miss Jun had already arrived at the harem following the guidance of the eunuchs.

Along the way, we occasionally saw the Qingshan Army guarding along with the Imperial Guards, and even saw Li Guorui.

Li Guorui never thought in his life that he would be able to serve in the palace. Although many years have passed, his face is still rosy, but he feels a little ashamed when he sees Miss Jun.

"I can't kill enemies as well as Miss Zhao and the others." He said embarrassedly.

At the same time, he felt a little strange. When did he feel that defending the imperial city was not as glorious as killing enemies outside?

"Master Li, you are too modest. Killing the enemy is also for the sake of the stability of the rear." Miss Jun said, "They only trust you to be able to take responsibility for the stability of the rear."

That’s right, Li Guorui smiled again.

"Miss Jun is going to see the Queen Mother. I just saw that she has arrived at the main hall." He said enthusiastically.

The eunuch beside him coughed lightly.

"Sir Li, this is the palace. You are a guard now, not someone to be on guard and check." He said unhappily, "Don't forget the rules. Can you discuss the Queen Mother's whereabouts at will?"

Li Guorui answered yes, but still winked at Miss Jun.

The eunuch rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Miss Jun smiled at Li Guorui and followed the eunuch to the palace where the Queen Mother was.

When she saw the palace, Miss Jun paused slightly.

Here...

"Miss Jun?" the eunuch turned around and reminded.

Miss Jun calmed down, regained her composure and continued walking.

There was a row of eunuchs standing in front of the palace, with their heads bowed and their breath held. When they saw them coming, two eunuchs pushed open the door.

"The Queen Mother has ordered that Miss Jun should come in now that she has arrived," said the eunuch who led the way.

Miss Jun walked in as requested. The door was closed behind her. The sudden darkness blurred her vision for a moment, and she paused for a moment before she could see clearly inside the hall.

The hall was empty except for the Queen Mother who sat in the middle.

Miss Jun took a few steps forward and bowed her head.

"Your Highness has met the Queen Mother," she said, kneeling down.

"Miss Jun, I don't know if you know."

A male voice came from the front.

The voice startled Miss Jun. She looked up and looked at the man in a dragon robe who walked out from behind the screen behind the Queen Mother's seat.

emperor?

When did he return to the palace?

The Emperor stopped beside the Empress Dowager and looked down at her with a cold and condescending expression.

"There was a man named Jiuling who was chopped to death by me here." He said, "I am very happy that another man named Jiuling came here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Miss Jun heard footsteps all around her and a group of eunuchs emerged from behind the curtain.

They were holding swords in their hands, approaching with a cold look.

Like, it used to be like that.
