Chapter 43
Yuan Jin suddenly raised his head and saw a tall man wearing a prince's red robe stepping into the palace gate. When she saw the extremely familiar face, she immediately opened her eyes in shock.
It turned out to be Chen Shen!
Why did he appear in the palace? And he was wearing princely uniform!
Zhu Xun smiled and walked forward: "Who did I say it is? It's such a big show. It turns out that it's uncle here!"
uncle……
When Yuan Jin heard this, he grabbed a handful of snow tightly. The cold feeling passed through her palms and cooled her body.
There is no other person in the world except that person!
Only the powerful Prince Jing can afford it. The current crown prince called him uncle.
Yuan Jin looked at Chen Shen.
Today is the birthday of the empress dowager. He went to the palace to go to the banquet and wore princely uniforms, which made him look taller. Although he was still smiling, his temperament was not suppressed at all. It was completely different from the ordinary staff member who usually looked like.
If he had appeared in front of her like this from the beginning, she would never have admitted her mistake.
Her thoughts were extremely confused. It turned out that Chen Shen was King Jing!
It was the King of Xibei Jing who destroyed her Xiao family and imprisoned the Empress Dowager.
She actually always regarded him as an ordinary staff member, asked him for help many times, and even had heart-to-heart talks with him!
There are so many doubts, and at this moment, there are explanations. Chen Shen is King Jing. That's why he is skilled in using military tactics and reaches a terrifying level. Therefore, the whereabouts of the people appearing around him are strange and mysterious. Therefore, Duke Ding's face changed drastically when he saw the jade pendant, because it was something that Prince Jing brought close to him, but appeared on a little girl in vain.
She was stunned for a long time, her face was blue and white.
Zhu Qian smiled and said, "My nephew is here to interrogate me, so the uncle naturally has to ask a few questions." As he said that, he had already walked in, and the Jinyiwei behind him spread out and surrounded Jingren Palace.
He walked to Yuan Jin and saw her falling into the snow. His eyes moved slightly, one hand behind his back, and the other hand stretched out, whispering: "Come."
Yuan Jin almost subconsciously reached out her hand. Her hand was cold and she was controlled by his big grasp. Then he pulled it up.
Zhu Qian asked her softly again: "Are you injured?"
Yuan Jin shook his head.
He said, "Then wait for me."
He let go of her after he said that, waved to him, and several Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward to protect Yuan Jin.
Zhu Qi walked up to Zhu Xun. He was slightly taller than Zhu Xun, so he was even more powerful and said slowly: "Is my nephew so excited when he saw my jade pendant just now, and he pointed his sword at her?"
Zhu Xun didn't expect Zhu Qi to appear suddenly, and there was no one who could send a message at the door.
I think it was the imperial guard at the door that dared not stop him at all.
He was the King of Northwest Jing, imprisoned Empress Dowager Xiao, destroyed the remnants of Xiao's clan, and was intimidated by the border and had great military achievements. How could anyone dare to stop him?
In fact, if it weren't for that incident, Zhu Xun wouldn't have wanted to kill him. But because of that incident, he hated him to the core. He had killed a group of people who had directly caused the incident, but King Jing did not care about it. That's because those people were like ants to him, and he didn't care at all.
So whatever he values will be destroyed.
He wants to take revenge!
But on the surface, King Jing is still King Jing, his elder and the owner of the military power in the northwest, so we should still be in harmony.
He said, "Uncle is really a misunderstanding! My nephew saw his uncle's jade pendant appearing on a little woman for no reason. I was afraid that your thing was lost or stolen, so he wanted to catch the thief for his uncle."
This is also a lie. What kind of guard is around King Jing? How could the jade pendant be accidentally stolen?
"I was afraid that my jade pendant would be lost, so I pointed my sword at a woman?" Zhu Qian asked again.
Zhu Xunze said: "It was me who was so excited just now. I don't know that this girl is my uncle's person. Please forgive me."
Of course, Zhu Qian couldn't argue with him now. After all, his words sounded reasonable, and Yuan Jin was not injured, so there was no reason to attack. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I gave the jade pendant to her with my own hands, not lost. It's okay for my nephew to catch the thief. If he had the intention to kill me because of seeing my jade pendant, it would be really hard to deal with!"
Zhu Xun naturally refused and smiled: "What's the matter with uncle? How dare my nephew have a murderous intention to kill my uncle."
Zhu Qi raised his eyes and stared at him coldly and said, "Don't you dare?"
At this time, he smiled completely, and when he didn't smile, he seemed particularly cold. The stagnant and oppressive feeling rushed towards him, causing people to breathe. It reminded people of the fact that he had chopped the head of the Ningxia general, sitting in the northwest and Shanxi military power.
Zhu Xun showed a meaningless smile and said lightly: "...I dare not."
Zhu Qian nodded and said, "Then come back."
Zhu Qian was talking about the jade pendant.
Zhu Xun had no intention of wanting it, so he handed over the jade pendant, and Zhu Qi took it over and came to Yuan Jin.
Zhu Qi stretched out his hand, but saw that the little girl seemed to have not reacted. She did not reach out to pick her up, but looked at him directly. He smiled and said, "Why are you stupid?"
Yuan Jin didn't react, but she didn't know whether she should answer or not.
She was still facing the familiar Chen Shen, and even her words and deeds were just the same as usual. But when she saw the scene of him confronting Zhu Xun just now, Yuan Jin knew clearly that he was not Chen Shen, and Chen Shen was just his empty character. He had been hiding his identity. This person was King Jing Zhu Jun!
The opponent she had never been able to compete with, the noble ruler of fate, even Zhu Xun, must comply with him.
This is also her enemy and one of the culprits of the destruction of the Empress Dowager and the Xiao family.
Before, I only pretended to be an ordinary staff member in front of her!
So, she suddenly didn't know how she should face him.
Zhu Qian felt that she must have been frightened by knowing her true identity.
After all, with such a huge identity change, an ordinary person around him suddenly became a powerful vassal king, and no one would not be scared.
He took her hand, put the jade pendant in the palm of her hand, and told her: "The place of right and wrong, I will send someone to send you back to the old lady of Dingguo. I will help you with your brother's affairs, okay?"
As soon as Yu bought it, she carried the temperature of his palm, which instantly made her cold hands feel a little warm. Yuan Jin's heart became more complicated and entangled. She said, "You..." She wanted to say very much, why are you King Jing, and why are you King Jing!
But she simply hated King Jing, and she simply liked Chen Shen. But when these two feelings were mixed together, it formed a huge impact force, making her so obscure that she could not speak. When facing him, she suddenly didn't know whether her emotions should be love or cruel.
Isn't everything in front of you?
He is Chen Shen, the one who helped her again and again, and she treated him as gentle as a Buddha. But he is also Prince Jing, her enemy, and the culprit of the death of the Empress Dowager!
Zhu Qian told her: "I will go to Dingguo Mansion in person tomorrow."
He wanted to say that he would come to her tomorrow to explain why he wanted to hide his true identity?
But what can this be done?
Yuan Jin pursed his lips and did not speak again.
Then Zhu Qian turned to Zhu Xun and said lightly: "Although my nephew is the crown prince, he is the emperor who breaks the law and still wants to commit the same crimes as the common people. He just wrongly accused the second girl of the Duke Dingguo Mansion for no reason. Should he still apologize to her?"
In fact, since ancient times, there has never been a time when the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Zhu Qian was just using his power and status to force Zhu Xun to bow his head to her!
And does Yuan Jin need it? She doesn't need it, and she is even more afraid that Zhu Xun will take revenge on Wen Yu in the future.
So she shook Prince Jing's hand and signaled not to force it.
Zhu Qie gently pressed her hand and smiled, "What do you think my nephew thinks?"
Zhu Xuntong's color is dark.
Zhu Qian was his elder and had great power. Even the emperor had to avoid him, and he could not face Zhu Qian head-on. At least now, it was not the time.
So he could only raise his head, look at Yuan Jin and smile, and said, "Just just now, I'm really sorry to Miss Second."
He said this very slowly, obviously very reluctant.
Yuan Jin thought that he had been in the throne for a long time, and there was probably very few such times when someone forced his head to be pinched.
But to be honest, after all the years she raised him, he had betrayed her unforgettably. This sentence is still shallow! What is really heavy is to let him kneel down in front of him and bleed to reduce the hatred in her heart!
"Crown Prince, you are polite." Yuan Jin only said these words.
Zhu Qian thought that the little girl must not be able to accept it now. She was frightened just now, so she should let her go and take it slow first.
Zhu Qian waved and called Li Ling over: "Send the second lady to Chongjing Palace."
Li Ling nodded and reached out to ask for it respectfully.
Duke Dingguo was originally a member of King Jing, and it was more convenient for King Jing to deal with his younger brother's affairs than her. Furthermore, it can be seen that Zhu Xun was still a little afraid of King Jing. On the contrary, she was here, King Jing and Zhu Xun were not so easy to talk about. He regarded her as a ignorant girl, and was afraid of everything.
Yuan Jin thought of this and never stopped. He just walked to his younger brother first and said to the two imperial guards: "You can let him go."
There was King Jing standing next to him, and it was obvious that the little girl was His Highness King Jing's man. The two imperial guards dared not disobey and let go of Wen Yu's wounds. Wen Yu almost stood firm, but Yuan Jin helped him and asked him softly.
Wen Yu opened her eyes slightly, her light brown pupils showed a little rosy, and she nodded slowly, saying, "Sister, go first."
He was the same as King Jing thought, and his sister was implicated by her here.
Yuan Jin felt relieved when he saw that he was really fine. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded to King Jing, and then Li Ling accompanied him back to Chongjing Palace.
She walked outside the door and heard Zhu Xun's voice saying, "Since the uncle is here, you can help my nephew see why the fire broke out..."
It seems that Zhu Xun is also very afraid of King Jing.
Yuan Jin was in a mess. When he walked outside the Chongjing Hall, Li Ling said, "Miss Second, please come in, I can only send you here."
Yuan Jin was about to leave, but he paused, then turned around and asked him: "Did you know me before?"
He was not surprised at all when he saw Prince Jing talking to her, and he must have known her for a long time. Perhaps these people were watching her when she was interacting with Prince Jing. After all, Zhu Qi's identity must have been protected by multiple personnel when he appeared. She didn't see it, but these people were just in the dark.
