Chapter 42 Jiang Xun and Lu Yunzheng
There is a small hall at the side door of Prince Rong's Mansion, which has been carefully tidied up.
Lu Yunzheng walked in from the side door. Even though he was careful to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the gloom on his face.
He has been looking forward to today's opportunity for several days!
But I don't know what went wrong. The adulterer who had an affair with the Crown Princess never escaped from the courtyard wall like he did in his previous life.
He caught the man's eye because he caught the adulterer, and was gradually appreciated by him. Then he rose to prominence and became famous all over the world.
Now, everything is ruined!
If that person hadn't acted as a go-between, how could I have left the Military Command Headquarters and gone to the Beijing Guard Station?
"Deputy Commander Lu, my master is waiting for you inside."
Bei Feng stood outside the hall and stretched out his hand to Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng took a deep breath and immediately suppressed all his chaotic thoughts.
When he heard that Jiang Xun wanted to see him just now, Lu Yunzheng admitted that he was panicked for a moment.
Because of the convenience of rebirth, he knew that he had a chance to rise to fame overnight, so he couldn't help but feel impatient, fearing that he would miss the opportunity, so he stayed outside Prince Rong's mansion for a long time with his subordinates.
After all, patrolling the city is his job as the military commander, and he could probably evade others with just a few words.
But Jiang Xun...is different from others.
In his previous life, when he had not yet made his mark, Jiang Xun's name was already known to everyone in the capital.
The people loved him for his integrity, praised him for his fearlessness of power and wealth, and hailed him as bright as the blue sky and white sun.
But since there are countless people who like him, there are bound to be countless people who hate him.
Even that person has always regarded Jiang Xun as a thorn in his side.
In his previous life, when he returned to Beijing from the border, he heard that Jiang Xun was implicated in the Shen family case and had lost the emperor's favor.
You have to know that Jiang Xun is a stubborn and stubborn person who has offended countless people. Many people want to kill him, and now they have seized the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Anyang Bo was worried that Jiang Xun would get into trouble because of this, so he simply imprisoned him in his mansion and asked the emperor for a long vacation.
When he heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer.
The evidence of the Shen family's treason is solid and everyone is trying to avoid it, but Jiang Xun wants to do the opposite.
Jiang Xun has no relationship with the Shen family at all. Lu Yunzheng doesn't believe that there is anyone in this world who would do so much for someone who has nothing to do with him.
After much thought, there is only one possibility.
Jiang Xunding was also a man who sought fame and reputation, just like those pedantic censors, trying every possible means to leave a name in history.
He looked down on Jiang Xun's behavior and thought he was very hypocritical, but he had to admit that Jiang Xun was indeed resourceful and capable.
When I reached this point in my thoughts, Lu Yunzheng had already entered the hall.
Jiang Xun was sitting in the upper seat, looking down at his wrist. The handprint that was red just now had begun to turn blue.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Xun looked up at the person coming.
Well, he is indeed tall and handsome.
"Your humble servant, Lu Yunzheng, deputy commander of the East City Military Command, is here to pay his respects to Lord Jiang." Lu Yunzheng saluted respectfully.
Even though his background was similar to Jiang Xun's, Jiang Xun was much luckier than him. He was now the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Whenever they met, he had to bow obediently.
Originally, he thought he would surpass Jiang Xun in less than two years, but something unexpected happened today, which disrupted his pace!
Just as Lu Yunzheng was feeling unwilling, he heard Jiang Xun hum lightly and asked directly:
"Does Deputy Commander Lu know that something happened in the Prince's Mansion today?"
Lu Yunzheng nodded immediately upon hearing this, but there was just the right amount of doubt on his face, "I just heard the sound of swords clashing in the mansion, but I don't know the details."
"There was a thief in the mansion, and he has been executed." Jiang Xun replied calmly.
Lu Yunzheng's eyelids twitched when he heard this, but he was afraid of showing something strange, so he quickly lowered his head and respectfully apologized:
"I have failed in my patrol of the city, please punish me, sir."
Lu Yunzheng knew very well that the person executed was not the so-called thief at all, but the "adulterer" arranged by that person. At this moment, the Crown Princess must have been ashamed and angry to death.
Jiang Xun stared at Lu Yunzheng for a moment with clear eyes, then shook his head and said calmly:
"Today's incident is hard to prevent. Deputy Commander Lu has fulfilled his duties conscientiously. What crime has he committed?"
"Now that the thief is dead, Deputy Commander Lu can rest assured. From now on, Deputy Commander Lu will have to pay more attention to the surroundings of the Prince's Palace. Go ahead."
Seeing that Jiang Xun had not asked about his stay outside the mansion, Lu Yunzheng felt relieved and secretly laughed at himself for overestimating Jiang Xun.
He...is nothing more than that.
"This is my duty, please rest assured, I will take my leave."
Lu Yunzheng bowed again, and finally felt relieved. He took a few steps back and turned to leave.
But before he took a few steps, Jiang Xun's voice suddenly rang out again:
"It is also God's will. It just so happened that Deputy Commander Lu was right outside the palace wall."
"I think even if the palace guards fail, with the deputy commander here, they will definitely be able to catch the thief."
Lu Yunzheng was relaxed, but when he heard these words suddenly, his eyes widened instantly and he turned to look at Jiang Xun.
He already had something to hide, so he felt that these words had a hidden meaning.
Jiang Xun's eyes flashed when he saw this, but his face remained calm. When he saw Lu Yunzheng suddenly lose his composure, he just tilted his head slightly in confusion.
Lu Yunzheng came back to his senses immediately, and hastily lowered his eyes to hide his gaffe, but his heart was pounding.
He should have been more vigilant. Jiang Xun was indeed not that simple!
What does he mean by this? What did you guess? Or does he have the same great fortune as himself?
"Deputy Commander Lu, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xun frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
When Lu Yunzheng raised his eyes again, he still could not see any thoughts on Jiang Xun's face.
He slowly clenched his fist, exhaled a breath of depression, and said respectfully: "It is my honor to share your worries, sir. I will take my leave."
"Well, go ahead."
Jiang Xun had already lowered his head and no longer looked at him.
Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth secretly and left quickly without stopping.
Only then did Jiang Xun slowly raise his head, stroking the bruise on his wrist from time to time, his eyes revealing deep meaning.
This Lu Yunzheng...
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Grandson has woken up, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang wants to see you."
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng had left, Beifeng immediately came in to pass on the message.
Jiang Xun stood up upon hearing that and walked out with big strides.

On the other side, Chaoyun Courtyard.
After all, Shen Jiasui had a good foundation. After taking the right medicine, he woke up in just an hour.
"Sui Sui!"
Ji Wan's eyes were red. Seeing this, she immediately leaned over with a look of concern.
Shen Jiasui blinked his eyes, and after a while he came back to his senses and called out softly, "Mom."
The voice is still hoarse.
"Sui Sui, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Does your chest hurt? Are you still feeling hot?"
Ji Wan asked quickly, reaching out to touch Shen Jiasui's forehead.
Shen Jiasui immediately shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, Suisui is fine, Tai...how are the others? Has the thief been caught? Where is this...?"
Before Ji Wan could answer, a pair of hurried footsteps approached from afar and arrived beside the couch.
"Wake up, wake up, I was scared to death!"
When Shen Jiasui looked up, he saw Princess Huaizhen crying and laughing as she rushed towards him, as if she had become a different person.
