Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 107 Confrontation (3000 more [-] words)
Walking out of the crowded small courtyard, Shen Chuxia withdrew her hands, but was still tightly held by Ji Chong, the cold wind was blowing outside, to be honest, if Ji Chong were her boyfriend, she would have crawled into his arms to keep warm at this moment .

But he is not!
"Your Highness..." Shen Chuxia was helpless, "I want to go back to the inn."

Ji Chong didn't look up at her.

What's the meaning?Is he going to hang on like this tonight?She struggled to break free again, but was half embraced by his arms, Bei Feng was completely blocked by his broad body.

No way, do you want to stand in front of someone else's house for one night?Shen Chuxia raised her eyes, and found that his gaze was colder than the cold wind, as if seeing the murderous prey that should be killed.

Shen Chuxia shuddered all over, followed his gaze to see Uncle Daguo Gaochen standing under the street lantern in scarlet clothes. Under the dim and cold light, he was dressed in brocade robes, rich robes, money and silver ornaments, which was oppressive.

"What a coincidence?" Gao Chen walked towards the two of them with a smile in his slender and long Danfeng eyes, and his eyes deliberately stayed on Shen Chuxia's face.

An undercurrent surges between the two young men.

Ji Chong's cold eyes shot out a warning.

Gao Chen grinned, and stretched out his arms to embrace the little lady beside him, "You have your favorite, and I have my favorite, why are you so nervous."

Lover?Zhang Shuran was still engrossed in being embraced by the person he likes, and he didn't expect to be more surprised, she was actually his favorite person?He turned to look up at him incredulously.

Eyes worship and love.

Shen Chuxia anxiously wanted to go up and pull her, Shuran, Shuran, as a strong woman, don't you know the relationship between the Prince Regent and the Gao family?Don't you know that the Gao family is so corrupt and tyrannical?

After all these days, Gao Chen's halo hasn't receded yet?

How does a man's halo recede in a woman's eyes?Falling in love, staying together all day, no matter how high the aura is, it will disappear in getting along.

But Gao Chen is like a flower in the high mountains. Don't say that Zhang Shuran doesn't see her once in ten or eight days, or even a month. And unattainable, it is impossible to fade away the aura of God through daily grind.

When necessary, Gao Chen used Zhang Shuran to block him. For example, tonight, Ji Chong actually went to Zhu Bang's door in person. This is to use him. Why should he be used?

Gao Chen claimed to be a master of the capital, but the Zhu family had been away from the aristocratic circle for too long, and he didn't think of what Shen Chuxia would miss when he settled down in the Zhu family.

He didn't know what to do, so he came in person.

Zhu Bang saw off the guests, stood behind Ji Chong, and quietly watched the confrontation between the two most powerful young men in the capital, one holding military power and the other controlling the government.

The two teams faced each other, and because of the appearance of a little lady, the balance was finally broken.

Looking at Uncle Daguo, Zhu Bang bowed his hands silently.

Gao Chen suddenly understood what Shen Chuxia had taken a fancy to Zhu Bang, his eyes darkened, but there was a smile on his face, "But, didn't you say that you asked Miss Shen to go to the restaurant to pay for the emerald soup?"

There was no such thing at all, but the sweetheart pinched her shoulders to imply that she should have. How could Zhang Shuran have the heart to let his sweetheart down, tried to hide his shyness, and smiled naturally, "Yes, in early summer, I added Taihu whitebait to the jade soup. It's even fresher, won't you pay for it?"

"No, it's too late, I'm going back to rest." Shen Chuxia squeezed out a helpless smile, and signaled Ji Chong to leave quickly, out of sight and out of mind.

Ji Chong embraced Shen Chuxia and got into his luxurious carriage. The black gilt carriage drove in the night, it was extremely luxurious and extravagant.

Gao Chen had no time to watch the carriage, and walked up to Zhu Bang, "Okay, Zhu Yonghou——"

"Uncle Guo's words are different, Xiao Min is no longer a brave man."

"Then it might be Master Zhu tomorrow, right?"

Zhu Bang lowered his eyebrows and stood with his hands folded.

To be silent is to admit.

"Really!" Gao Chen asked deliberately, "Let me think about it, what does Ji Chong want you to do?" He looked into the courtyard.

Qian Yuan and Lu Qiyin did not dare to move behind the gate of the courtyard.

Before Gao Chen came, he knew who was looking for Zhu Bang. He was extremely smart. After observing at this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he heard his father tell some things about Zhu Yonghou. So the surname Zhu is going to...

Wanting to understand what these people were going to do, he moved his arm away from Miss Zhang's shoulders, looked up at the dilapidated Zhu's house, and hooked his lips again, "I hope Mr. Zhu can step up and change his family." After finishing speaking, he smiled recklessly, making public And leave.

"Uncle Guo..." Zhang Shuran hurried to catch up, "Don't you want to pay for the emerald soup?"

Gao Chen paused, "Send it to Haitang Lane tomorrow."

"Okay." Upon receiving the response from her sweetheart, Zhang Shuran was so happy that she almost lost her composure, and hurried home with the girl to make soup.

Dozens of people from the Zhu family stood at the door blowing for half an hour. Since they fell down, they didn't even have a chance to see the village chief in the alley.

Lu Qi shouted, "Master Zhu...please come in, we have something to ask."

"Here we come." Zhu Bang woke up, "Wei'er, come in with a pot of hot tea, I want to chat with the two adults until dawn."

"Yes, grandfather."

The carriage was as warm as spring, warmer than an inn room, and being abused by a rich man, Shen Chuxia almost fell asleep in the carriage. The enjoyment of capitalism was really not worth it.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Chuxia rubbed his blurred eyes, got up from someone's embrace with difficulty, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain, "Your Highness, good night." He jumped off the carriage, shivering from the cold wind.

After waking up, in the night lights, it was the familiar Tongtai Inn. He turned around and waved to the people in the carriage, "Good night, Your Highness!" After finishing speaking, he wrapped his collar tightly and ran into the inn, disappearing in front of Ji Chong.

Sleeping in His Highness's arms, why not come to an inn if I go back to sleep with His Highness.

Mu Tong really couldn't figure out His Highness, kissed her, hugged her, sat in the carriage, and held her in his arms to sleep, it was only a step away from really sleeping, could it be possible to really save it for the wedding night in the bridal chamber?

Mu Tong was startled, subconsciously covered his mouth, and looked around quietly. Fortunately, the carriage was moving, and no one noticed what he was thinking. God, he was really scared to death.

Inside the carriage, Ji Chong still had the nephrite fragrance of a certain young lady in his bosom, he reached out and touched his heart, just now it was fast and seemed very calm, and he covered it for a long time.

Suddenly, he said, "Go to Dali Temple."

What?It's almost midnight when you return to the palace, why don't you go to Dali Temple?

Mu Tong and Zhi Shi looked at each other and hurriedly arranged.After a while, the carriage disappeared into the night.

In the darkness of night, someone disappeared into a deep alley, and the man in black walked into an ordinary small courtyard by familiar ways.

"Ma'am, His Highness personally went to pick her up and send her back to the inn. It seems that he really likes her." Mo Lan said.

"What's the use of liking her." Yingya sneered, "It's you, would you like a man who killed his father?"

"But... Your Highness has not killed Shen Jinlin now."

"Sooner or later he will be killed."

Mo Lan still couldn't figure out many things, "Madam, when can we enter the palace?"

It has always been a pain in Yingya's heart to never find a chance to enter the palace, the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth turned into impatience, "Mo Lan—"

"The servant is—"

"Send me a post."

"Ma'am, who are you giving it to?"

It was freezing cold, and in his second year in prison, Shen Jinlin had a quilt to protect him from the cold. This winter seemed to be much better than last year, but how long would he stay in Dali Temple?

Three years or five years?Or ten years?
No news from the outside could come in, he was no different from a deaf man, could he just be in a daze like this?
Tick...tick... There seemed to be footsteps in the place where the water was dripping all the year round. He looked up at the skylight, no matter it was cloudy or sunny, he could tell the time through the faint light.

How could someone come at this hour?Who is going to be interrogated?He subconsciously wrapped himself in the quilt and looked out over the railing.

It was the regent Prince Ji Chong who came behind his back. His heart was startled suddenly, and he jumped for no reason. Could it be... Could it be... His eyes were flustered, and when the lantern approached, he quickly disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.

Under the light of the lantern, a middle-aged man who was filthy and untainted appeared in the eyes of everyone, and his rags and rags did not dampen his coolness.

This is a man of character.

Ji Chong held his hand behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at him.

Shen Jinlin put down the quilt on his body, straightened his clothes, messed up his hair, and then stepped forward to salute, "The sinner Shen Jinlin has seen His Highness!" He knelt down and saluted.

Ji Chong's eyes followed him.

Condescending.

The turmoil of the three kings... the hidden picture treasure... the king of Chu's flight to the west... the late emperor's behest...everything seems to be related to him, but everything seems to have nothing to do with him in the end.

Could it be that that year, as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy, he only read some books to the late emperor?

In the dark, cold and humid Dali Temple, Ji Chong only stood there for a while before he felt a chill all over his body, and the tenderness of the little lady just now was completely blown away.

His pupils narrowed slightly, he turned around and left.

Mu Tong and Zhi Shi looked at each other, in the middle of the night, His Highness came to see Shen?They were puzzled, confused, and hurried to catch up.

Didn't ask a single question, just made a special trip to see him?

The more this happened, the more restless Shen Jinlin became. Did he really discover something?
Walking out of Dali Temple, Hopu stepped forward and attached himself to the master, "Return to Your Highness, the King of Chu has moved in a certain den in the capital, and they seem to have found out where the hidden treasure is."

Ji Chong stopped and looked up at the bright moon.

In the lonely dark sky, the bright moon is shrouded in clouds, and the moonlight is hazy yellow, casting a hazy shadow on the earth.

"Don't startle the snake."

"What if they escaped?"

Ji Chong turned his head to look at Hopu, "It will always appear again."

"……"What does it mean?
The four guardians all looked at each other in blank dismay.

On the second day, when Zhu Bang entered the palace, Su Juesong immediately arranged for him to take up the post - Zhongshu Sheren, and immediately drafted the regulations on taxation of the Grand Canal.

"Lord Zhu, on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, all officials above the fourth rank will go to Beijing to report on their duties. His Highness will take this opportunity to announce the announcement to the world. Let it be too late."

"I try my best."

Su Juesong nodded, "If you need manpower, just ask for it. As long as you draw up a charter that benefits the country and the people, everything will be fine."

"Yes, Lord Su, the old man understands."
