Lu Yunqi fell down due to self-injury at that time. Because he was an important prisoner, he was rescued with all his strength, but he was still seriously injured.

No, it's not that he's seriously injured and shouldn't be injured now. The most important thing is that he should still be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.

The eunuchs in the Eunuch Palace in the Imperial Mausoleum, the imperial guards in the Jinyiwei Palace, including the Qingshan Army, were all arrested and tortured day and night in the Ministry of Justice.

The eunuchs at the imperial mausoleum confessed that it was Yuan Baorang who had concealed the emperor's departure from the imperial mausoleum from the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei also confessed that they knew the emperor had left, but the emperor did not allow them to follow, so only Lu Yunqi followed out of concern.

Basically, the Ministry of Justice has determined that this was a power struggle between Yuan Bao and Lu Yunqi. In addition, various private matters such as daily conflicts were tortured out. Yuan Bao was convicted of death, and Lu Yunqi could not escape either, and was only waiting to be beheaded.

How come Lu Yunqi appeared in the palace again at this time?

And his official robes...

Miss Jun looked around subconsciously.

"The first time I entered the palace was when I was on duty here," said Lu Yunqi.

People also walked over step by step.

He walked very slowly and his body was a little stiff, which showed that he was indeed seriously injured.

Miss Jun said nothing and looked alert.

Although she believed that since Prince Huai had moved into the palace, Duke Cheng and the others must have cleared the place out, Lu Yunqi was truly too terrifying.

"It is unbelievable that someone like me can serve in the imperial palace." Lu Yunqi continued. He looked around, and a hint of joy appeared on his usually expressionless face.

It's like going back to the time when I was the young man who first walked into this place.

“It felt like a dream to me,” he said.

It was indeed like a dream. Those Jinyi Guards who could enter the palace to serve were strictly checked and had powerful families. People like Lu Yunqi would probably be a small flag bearer and be yelled at on the street all his life, unless he had help from a noble person.

This noble man must be the King of Qi.

Miss Jun thought that what King Qi said had already been put into operation in the capital, using money to buy people's hearts.

It seems that Lu Yunqi was also used by him. At that time, Lu Yunqi was just a small Jinyiwei, but the King of Qi was able to support him, which showed that he did not despise such a small thief.

"People like us who rarely have opportunities will definitely seize them when we get them," Lu Yunqi continued, "I did my best to do my job, and was soon recognized."

He retracted his gaze and looked at Miss Jun.

"So I not only served in the palace, but also served the prince."

Miss Jun found it a little funny.

Appreciation?

Whose appreciation? The King of Qi, I think.

So he was by his father's side at that time?

Miss Jun felt a little annoyed, annoyed that she was not at home and did not notice it.

"How can you remember so many people?" Lu Yunqi seemed to see through her thoughts, "It's not your fault."

Yes, for a princess like her who is so high and mighty, how could she pay attention to every servant and minister?

"Should I thank you for comforting me?" Miss Jun looked at him and said calmly.

"Of course not." Lu Yunqi said.

He spoke as slowly as he walked, but still came up to her.

When she got closer, Miss Jun saw that there were bloodstains on his bright red robe. Was it because the wound had opened or was it newly stained by the intrusion?

He had no weapons on him, but for Lu Yunqi, that couldn't be judged as a weapon.

Miss Jun did not retreat.

"The prince likes to study." Lu Yunqi stopped in front of her and continued slowly, "When he is studying, he doesn't like too many people to serve him. Many times, I am the only one on duty."

Miss Jun couldn't help but clench her hands.

She seemed to guess what he was going to say.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

"That day, the King of Qi came," he said, "quietly."

Veins bulged on Miss Jun's hands, and she stared at him motionlessly.

Lu Yunqi also looked at her, without avoiding her gaze at all.

"I let him in." he said slowly.

There are few big trees in the palace to prevent assassins from hiding, and the sunlight shines directly on people.

He stood at the door, holding the knife in his hand, feeling inexplicably cold.

He had sharp ears and eyes, and the closed doors and windows did not block out the sounds inside the room.

There were low voices at first, followed by what seemed to be laughter, but the next moment the sound became strange.

It seemed like the table had been knocked over.

It looked like someone had fallen to the ground.

It seemed as if someone was making a mournful sound.

He is the Royal Guard. He is in charge of the Royal Guard here. Even if he is not summoned, he must be alert to any unusual movements.

He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, turned around and pushed open the door.

The prince did not sit at the desk as he did in the past, reading with his eyes sometimes excited and sometimes calm.

The prince's brows were also raised at this time, but it was not because he was excited about reading, but because there was a belt around his neck, and he was imprisoned in front of King Qi.

The prince was tall and thin, and now he was being strangled by the belt of the fat Prince of Qi, making him look even weaker.

Seeing him come in, the prince's eyes sparkled and he struggled even harder.

Waiting for him to draw his knife and rush to rescue, or turn around and shout for help.

"What are you still standing there for?" King Qi shouted impatiently, "Close the door!"

He was still in a daze, his mind was blank, then he heard the sound of the door closing, and then he saw the light in the prince's eyes go out instantly.

He suddenly felt a little flustered and subconsciously looked at the door and his hands.

Was it him who closed the door?

He, he closed the door...

There was a plop sound.

He looked over in shock and saw the prince fell to the ground. The King of Qi untied his belt and tied it back on his body. He raised his hand to feel the prince's breath with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"I'm leaving now," said the King of Qi, walking quickly towards him and then passing him. "Call for help later."

The door was opened and closed.

He stood there in a daze, as if the King of Qi had never appeared.

He looked at the man lying motionless on the ground.

He walked over step by step.

The prince still had his eyes open, looking at him as he approached step by step, looking at him, looking at him, without joy, anger, sorrow or request.

Until now, those eyes are still looking at him.

Lu Yunqi looked at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun also looked at him, without joy, anger, sorrow or request, just indifference, as if she was looking at a stranger.

She walked past him.

Lu Yunqi stood where he was and did not stop.

She had given him the same look long ago.

At that time he was lying on the ground like a gauntleted dog waiting to die. She stopped him with a shout, then rode away, glancing at him before leaving.

Just a glance, without joy, anger, sorrow or pity, because to her, he was just a stranger.

Strangers at first, strangers at last.

Lu Yunqi turned around and looked at the woman's back which was getting farther and farther away without moving. The sunlight lengthened his shadow, and the sunlight was swallowed by his shadow.

…

"Miss Jun."

On the corridor ahead, Mr. Gu stood with his hands in his pockets, looking away from the palace where the ceremony was being held, and smiled at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun looked at him without the slightest smile.

"Why let him out?" she asked bluntly.

He was referring to Lu Yunqi.

But it is inappropriate to ask Mr. Gu this question.

Mr. Gu's status at this time was not as good as hers. At least she still had the title of county lord, while Mr. Gu was not even an official in the royal palace.

How could such a person release Lu Yunqi from prison?

Mr. Gu smiled slightly and did not express surprise or refute her words.

"Because the Ministry of Justice has already investigated it clearly, and the eunuchs have also confessed that this incident was planned by Yuan Bao, and Lu Yunqi was only defending himself." He said, "So Lord Lu is guilty of intimidating His Majesty and will be demoted three levels in punishment, but he is not guilty of the death penalty."

Miss Jun looked at him.

"Why did you make such a decision?" she asked coldly.

Mr. Gu stopped smiling and looked serious.

"Because it's necessary," he said.

Miss Jun's expression became even colder and a little angry.

"Whose needs?" she said.
