Chapter 230: Chosen Oxen and Horses, Jun Xiaochen
Jun Xiaochen snorted and laughed, his tone cold:
“This king is not killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but rather to shock the tiger.
Tianqi hides an ambitious tiger. Sooner or later, I will pull out this beast, tear out its tendons and bones, drain its blood and skin it."
Xu Junjun shook his shoulders and clicked his tongue twice:
"Stop talking, it's bloody.
I have no interest in your Tianqi politics.
You should keep these words for the little emperor."
According to the old rules, after entering the palace, Xu Junjun waited in the usual place for the little emperor and Jun Xiaochen to leave the court.
To prevent accidents, Jun Xiaochen specially arranged people to guard outside the hall and no one was allowed to approach.
Xu Junjun was bored waiting, so she ate two plates of snacks, drank three or six cups of tea, and looked at all the jade antiques displayed in the hall before she heard voices outside the hall.
Xu Junjun thought that Jun Xiaochen and the little emperor had arrived, but when she looked over, she saw a very memorable face.
Yo ho.
A tough acquaintance.
"The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the palace!
You all should leave immediately, or else don't blame us for following orders to capture you."
Several palace maids stood at the door of the palace, carrying food boxes, and said something carefully to the guards, but were coldly scolded by the guards outside the palace and told to leave quickly.
Xu Junjun listened for a while with his arms crossed, his gaze lingering on the acquaintance, a smile on his lips that held an ambiguous meaning.
At this moment, the palace maid looked up in the direction of Xu Junjun. Their eyes met in the air, and Xu Junjun showed her eight white teeth.
The palace maid seemed to be very afraid of Xu Junjun, but she also had something to say to her. In her dilemma, her face turned slightly green.
After watching the excitement for a while, Xu Junjun had no intention of saying anything, nor did she plan to call the palace maid in.
After standing for a while, Xu Junjun turned around and went back to the palace, allowing the guards to expel all the palace maids.
Jun Xiaochen and the little emperor arrived half an hour later. When they arrived, Xu Junjun was holding a beautiful blue and white jade porcelain vase in the hall and examining it carefully over and over again.
She looked so serious and meticulous that if you didn't know her, you would think that the jade porcelain bottle was made by her.
"Sister Xu."
A bright yellow figure rushed to Xu Junjun like a cannonball, grabbed her sleeve and looked her over with great interest.
The little emperor was surprised to find that Xu Junjun had not lost weight, but had become even more plump.
"Sister Xu, I'm so glad you're okay."
Ever since Xu Junjun left the imperial capital, the young emperor has been worried day and night, fearing that it would be too late for her to go to the border city or that she would encounter some desperate crisis.
Fortunately, she and Jun Xiaochen returned safely this time, otherwise the little emperor would not know what to do.
Patting the little emperor on the head affectionately, Xu Junjun smiled brightly, like a shining little sun, infecting everyone present.
“Of course I’m fine.
With me here, the evil will be driven away and there will be no worries! "
Thinking of the banknotes Jun Xiaochen brought back a few days ago, Xu Junjun's smile grew even wider after he boasted:
"You have a conscience, you know how hard it's been for me, and you've generously given me a lot of hard-earned money."
Xu Junjun looked at the man who followed her and rolled her eyes and complained:
"Unlike some people who are so stingy that giving a little money is like squeezing toothpaste.
I don’t know how to take the initiative at all.”
“Ya Gao?
What is this?
The little emperor was confused and had no idea what Xu Junjun was talking about.
Jun Xiaochen turned his head to look at her. Although he didn't understand what Xu Junjun was talking about, he was already used to the strange words that occasionally came out of her mouth.
The two men, one big and one small, stared at her intently, revealing the same thirst for knowledge. Xu Junjun coughed, and a guilty look flashed across his face.
"It's nothing, these are just random words I made up, you don't need to worry about it."
After giving a casual explanation, Xu Junjun quickly changed the subject and pulled the little emperor to sit aside:
"Come on, come on, I haven't seen you in a long time.
Let me take your pulse and see how you are doing recently."
Fearing that the two would expose the truth if they dug deeper, Xu Junjun almost pressed the little emperor's shoulders, made him sit on the chair, then held his wrist and carefully felt his pulse.
Jun Xiaochen looked at Xu Junjun's little look of trying to hide her behavior, but did not expose it. He sat opposite the two of them, smiling, and poured himself tea.
Not long after, Xu Junjun released the little emperor's wrist, patted his shoulder with satisfaction and praised:
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that you have been following the doctor's orders during this period and have been a good and obedient child.
I am recovering well, keep up the good work."
The little emperor is in very poor health, and it is very good that he is in his current condition.
Xu Junjun doesn't ask for a long life, she just hopes that this unfortunate child can live past thirty.
Although more than ten years is short, it is the best ending Xu Junjun could have imagined.
Obviously, the little emperor was also happy about Xu Junjun's words. His eyes seemed to be shining with stars and he nodded vigorously in agreement.
Jun Xiaochen looked at the two of them and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat hot pot?
Let the imperial chef prepare lunch today.
After lunch, I will accompany you to review the memorials, and then take her out of the palace."
The little emperor was overjoyed and nodded excitedly:
"Great, I'll order someone to prepare it right away."
Before Jun Xiaochen and Xu Junjun returned safely, the little emperor was alone in the palace, frightened and had no appetite at all.
If it weren't for the medicine, he probably wouldn't be able to eat half a bowl of rice a day and would have lost some weight.
Now that the two backbones have returned to the imperial capital, the little emperor's appetite has also recovered.
When he reached the palace gate, the little emperor imitated Jun Xiaochen's cold attitude and gave a few instructions. After the guards took the order and left, he returned to the palace excitedly.
When the three of them got together, even a simple conversation was precious to the little emperor.
After asking Junjun some questions about Jiangcheng, the little emperor was so surprised that his eyes widened after receiving answers one by one.
“When Uncle Wang mentioned it earlier, I didn’t know there were so many hidden secrets.
Now, does Uncle Wang know who poisoned him?"
After Jun Xiaochen returned to the imperial capital, he told the little emperor all the important matters of this trip.
The little emperor only knew the general idea and had no idea how Jun Xiaochen's life was hanging by a thread in Jiangcheng.
How did Xu Junjun and the three imperial physicians turn the tide?
Now, as Junjun vividly recounted the highlights of the day, the little emperor's heart suddenly rose and fell. Sometimes he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and sometimes his face was full of smiles. He truly experienced what excitement was.
The guards caught the poisoner and tortured him severely.
From the confession, Jun Xiaochen understood that the matter involved the harem and other countries.
To put it more seriously, there are people who are blinded by greed and intend to subvert Tianqi, collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, and their crimes are unforgivable.
But there is some pressure that Jun Xiaochen doesn't want to put on the little emperor's shoulders.
In the past, he had planned to help the little emperor grow into a wise ruler. Now, he only hoped that the little emperor could experience the vivid flavors and colors in the limited time he had, so that his life would not be in vain.
Therefore, even though Jun Xiaochen knew the truth, without all the evidence, he could only briefly summarize the situation when facing the little emperor's questioning:
“Probably know.
This matter involves a wide range of people, and the person behind this is ruthless and must be punished. Once I have complete evidence, I will report it to the Emperor and order his punishment."
Jun Xiaochen's attitude of taking on so much responsibility made Xu Junjun feel jealous and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
He is truly worthy of being the chosen one by God.
It is truly a blessing for Apocalypse to have him.
