Chapter 43

Jian Jun stood at the foot of the steps, holding the bead in his hand.

Soft and sticky, although it still has the luster of gemstones, it is indeed not a stone—at least not an ordinary stone.

Something different would be a monster, at that moment he only felt that this thing was ominous or even terrifying.

But when he came to the front of the Temple of Compassion, he finally remembered that it was sent to him by Compassion.Yu Ci would never harm him.

He waited outside the hall, various guesses flashed through his mind, and finally stopped at what Yu Ci said: "Don't you ask me why I gave you such a shabby thing?"

Why?Jian Jun's mind rapidly filtered all kinds of possibilities, and his bright black eyes flickered.

Then he saw Yu Ci stepping out of the hall.She paused before the steps to straighten her hair that was hanging down her temples.As the breeze blew, the belt and wide sleeves on her body fluttered with the wind, and the fine and bright autumn sunshine fell on her face.

The appearance is clear and handsome, and the expression is indifferent, just like those flying sky outside the square in the murals.

He had a strange feeling at that moment.It was as if concubine kindness was God's compensation for him.If one day he is strong enough, he no longer needs anyone's comfort...

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

Yu Ci walked up to him and bowed calmly.Seeing that Jun didn't like her alienation, he stretched out his hand to hold her.

——This is a stone that can dissolve black ink in water, and naturally it can also dissolve other things.What was the purpose of Yu Ci giving him this stone?
Was she afraid that someone would poison him?
Thinking of this, the corners of Jian Jun's lips curled up involuntarily, and he suddenly felt excited.

Yu Ci asked, "Why did Your Majesty come so early today?"

Jian Jun deliberately ignored her usual indifference in the past few days, and complained a little coquettishly: "Ah Lian made me angry, and I want to beat him up."

The long-lost and dependent tone made Yu Ci slightly taken aback.

She paused, then said softly, "Go into the room and talk."

Yuci helped Jianjun change out of the cumbersome court clothes and crown, and offered him a cup of honey tea as usual.

While Jianjun was drinking, he said what Ah Lian had contradicted him in the early morning.

After hearing this, Miu Ci couldn't help but feel a little headache—Ah Lian was as defiant as recorded in the history books.Even Wei Zheng knew that vetoing the emperor needed a high-sounding reason, but he just said, "It's not what His Majesty took for granted" and it was over.

This is true for the emperor—of course, with his character, he probably treats others not much differently—God knows how many people he has offended.

Miu Ci could only helplessly ponder A Lian's thoughts and carefully consider the words, "Is it because your Majesty doesn't like Yougui because all his subordinates were killed and he escaped?"

Jian Jun frowned and nodded.Does Your Majesty know how far it is from Wangting to Central Plains? "

Nearly two thousand miles. "

So does Your Majesty know how many military forts and cities there are along the way? "

Jian Jun paused, and shook his head—needless to say he didn't know, even the guards of the border town, and even the famous founding generals who once chased to the hinterland of Hiti didn't necessarily know.

Yu Ci said, "There are many grasslands and deserts in the western border, and the land is sparsely populated. Naturally, it is not as densely populated as the cities in the Central Plains. But there are 20 people in a single royal family, and millions of people in the whole. There must be nearly a hundred cities. By Gui Cong Wangting passed through nearly a hundred cities, avoided the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of prairie cavalry, and escaped our outposts and customs posts in the process, and fled to Yongxing safely. Your Majesty feels that he can do everything by himself. Are you there?"

Jian Jun was suddenly speechless.

When he was young, he tried several times to escape from the palace with Yuan Jun, but it was just a few high walls and a few teams of Habayashi troops, but he still failed.This person managed to flee thousands of miles.Maybe he's not as incompetent as he thinks.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Yu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty has read history books, but do you still remember Ji Bu?"

Jian Jun raised his head and blinked his eyes - of course he remembered.

Among the stories he remembers most in the history books, one is the orphan of the Zhao family, and the other is the escape of Ji Bu.

Yu Ci said: "Xiti's begging to buy Yougui must be no more lax than Han Gaozu offering a reward to Jibu. Yougui fled all the way, and I don't know how many people are willing to die for him. Those subordinates who followed him to rebel may not have been killed by him. He will die only if he is abandoned. If they are willing to die for him, then it is not necessarily because he escaped because he was greedy for life and afraid of death."

Jian Jun held the tea and remained silent.

Yu Ci patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't know the details, so you shouldn't hate this person prematurely."

"If," Jian Juncai said sadly after a while, "if many people died for me, I would hate myself. I would rather not run away."

Hearing the words, Yu Ci couldn't help but feel soft, knelt down and rubbed his cheeks, and said softly: "That's because Your Majesty has a benevolent heart. This is the most rare thing."

Jianjun's face flushed involuntarily.Shao Bo told him about benevolence countless times, but he didn't feel that benevolence is good until Yu Ci said so.

"No matter what Mr. Cheng said, the national affairs cannot be determined by His Majesty's preferences. The reason is also the same. Many people have to put aside their preferences to recognize it, and there are many things that have to put aside their benevolence to do well. As for the ingenuity - anyway, Jun Yi Chen Lao, Your Majesty can read and learn slowly, don't worry."

Seeing off Jian Jun, Yu Ci let out a long sigh of relief.And then slightly annoyed.

Jian Jun held her hand when he left, and looked at her quietly with black soft eyes, and said, "Minmin, I am sincere to you. I know that I have done something wrong, so I don't ask for your forgiveness. You can live It’s okay to be angry with me, to refuse to drive, to ignore me, to hate me... just don’t forget, I like you.”

When he leaned over, Yu Ci suddenly realized that Jian Jun had grown a lot taller, and his voice was finally no longer the childlike crispness when we first met.

The child who used to be entangled with her and acted like a baby had unknowingly grown into a teenager.

She obviously wanted to gradually alienate him, gradually become indifferent, and finally break away from his life.But when he earnestly and stubbornly begged her not to ignore his feelings, Yu Ci realized that she really couldn't ignore her.

When Jianjun returned to Kunning Palace, the cabinet ministers had already gone back to work.

He also didn't call them back to Kunning Palace, he just changed Yanju's clothes, took some court ladies and eunuchs, and went to the Zhengshitang in person.

Yu Chi is right.Now that the cabinet does not have a backbone like Shao Bo, it will not be too big to lose.Jun Yi and Chen Lao, they were originally assisting the government for him.If he couldn't handle it, they would naturally have to do it for him; if he didn't understand, they would naturally explain it to him in detail.

Ah Lian's bad temper, he just ignores it.I believe that when Ah Lian finds that it is less time-consuming to explain to him honestly, he will no longer try to negate his opinion with one sentence.

Seeing that Jun came to the political affairs hall in person, Gao Huancheng and others were all in awe.

And Ah Lian also seemed to be aware of his sincerity, and when he stepped forward to report, he finally analyzed his opinion patiently and respectfully.

Now that he has had a bad relationship with Xi and is ready to go to war, he is not afraid of having another prince from the royal family.Jianjun finally decided to meet Yuki first.

When he returned to Kunning Palace again, the chief eunuch also brought back the jade craftsman from the Imperial Academy.

——Jian Jun could probably see that Yu Ci hated the chief eunuch, so he didn't let the chief eunuch follow him when he went to Kunning Palace in the past few months.Today I was in a hurry, the chief eunuch subconsciously followed up to serve, Jian Jun dismissed him while he was waiting for Yuci outside Kunning Palace.

The craftsmen of the Imperial Palace looked all over the world for rare treasures, and had a unique vision, so maybe they recognized this bead.

Seeing Jun, he passed the net to him.

The craftsman looked at it for a long time before he said dully: "The villain has poor eyesight. This thing looks like smoke crystal and amber... The villain doesn't recognize it."

Jian Jun smiled and said, "Forget it, you can go."

There are so many rare treasures in the world, so what if he doesn't recognize them?Yuci will definitely not harm him.

But why did Yu Ci suddenly think of giving him such a thing?
Jian Jun wrapped the net around his finger and looked at it quietly for a while.

Although he extremely hoped that this would be a token of "forever good", but he still understood after all that Yu Ci didn't like him that much.Thinking of this, he rested his chin on the table in frustration and pouted.

Then, like lightning, a possibility flashed through his mind.

He couldn't sit still for a moment, "Call the imperial physician!"

On the second day after the incident happened, Yu Ci greeted the imperial physician—Jian Jun already knew about their partnership in defrauding him.

But he didn't expect that when he came to Kunning Palace today, Jian Jun would start asking about the events of that day.

Although Jian Jun spoke harshly, the imperial physician could see that he was harsh and soft-hearted at all.So I wasn't too scared, I just said: "The empress's pulse condition was fluctuating that day, and she was sick and weak. It is obvious that there is a heat evil. It should be due to poor heart and lung..."

"You know better than me whether it's true or not!" The words were all nonsense, so Jian Juncai hated dealing with this kind of sophisticated cunning, "I only ask you, queen...is there anyone beside the queen..." He frowned, and couldn't find any other possibility, so he could only whisper, "Poison."

The imperial physician quickly knelt down and said: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty, no, really no."

Jian Jun stared at him for a long time, still a little worried, and frightened him, "Aren't you telling the truth?!"

The imperial doctor insisted, shook his head and said: "I am telling the truth. It is about the life of the empress, even if I dare to conceal it, how can the empress herself not take it seriously?"

Jian Jun said disapprovingly: "The misfortune of the palace is never good. The queen is merciful and does not want to implicate the innocent. With her temperament, she will naturally investigate alone without telling me."

The imperial physician raised his head secretly, and tentatively said, "If it is as expected by His Majesty, maybe it will be fine?
Jian Jun slipped his hand and broke a bamboo pen.The voice was as flat as before: "Of course I don't want to create a prison."

Although his expression was well concealed, the dusty calm in his eyes did not have a frightening look.The imperial physician couldn't help but swallowed his saliva - he believed that when necessary, this little emperor, who looked harmless but was also pure in essence, could also become cruel and tyrannical.

The imperial physician suddenly remembered the cold light that flashed in Yu Ci's eyes when she said, "Sir, I also give the emperor a pulse check."

So it's all because of the other party's cruel temperament?
He held his breath, shook his head, and carefully said: "Your Majesty is merciful. But I really dare not lie to Your Majesty. It is true. Your Majesty thinks that you and Your Majesty have always slept and eaten together. Even if Your Majesty does not want to involve innocent people, how can Your Majesty not care about Your Majesty?" safety?"

Jian Jun blinked his eyes, and instantly saw that innocent, somewhat ignorant child.

He couldn't hide his shyness a little bit, as if he wanted to emphasize something, he said: "Of course not! Cough, well, I, I have nothing to do. You step back."

The doctor was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he quickly knelt down and retreated hastily.I felt like I was drenched in cold sweat.

"Hold on.

The word "Jian Jun" almost made the imperial physician's heart beat, "The minister is here.

Seeing that Junqiang concealed his disappointment, he said, "Go to Fenghua Palace on the way, and show Lin Zhaorong his pulse.
