The whole family, including the dog, is a villain.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

How is the Duke of Zhenguo doing?

Jun Huanzhi was a little uneasy. Holding an ancient book in his hand, he stared at the pages, slightly absent-minded.

I don't know how she is doing... or whether she has...

"His Majesty!"

Si Xi suddenly called him softly.

"What's the matter?"

Jun Huanzhi came back to his senses and continued reading: "I'm reading, don't disturb me."

Si Xi couldn't help but expose him: "You have been staring at this page for half an hour."

You know, Your Majesty has always been a fast reader. He can read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he sees.

"The princess is here."

As soon as Si Xi finished speaking, the palace door was pushed open, and Jun Huanzhi saw that Jiang Chutang was wearing a light blue dress for the first time, which made her look pure, graceful and elegant.

Eyes facing each other.

For a moment, there was silence.

Jiang Chutang took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and asked gently, "Your Majesty, did my family disturb your peace?"

Jun Huanzhi has always been a germaphobe, especially sensitive to strange smells.

As soon as Jiang Chutang approached, he smelled a strong scent of powder. Jun Huanzhi saw that Jiang Chutang's face didn't look too good, her makeup wasn't very natural, and her eye circles were a little red. She was in a very wrong state, as if she was forcing a smile.

Somehow, Jun Huanzhi's mood suddenly became bad.

"I am fine."

Jun Huanzhi let out a long sigh and asked politely, "How is the situation of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"Well... basically it's under control."

Jiang Chutang forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Jun Huanzhi couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by controlled?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have found a doctor who can cure the poison. Otherwise, I would not have the time to enter the palace to see Your Majesty."

Jiang Chutang seemed not to want to talk about this matter too much, and changed the subject abruptly: "I have withdrawn the secret guards outside, Your Majesty can move freely now."

At this point, Jiang Chutang said nervously, "My family values ​​affection. If I don't protect you, you will probably be taken to the dungeon and tortured like last time. I... I don't want you to get hurt. Your Majesty, do you understand my good intentions?"

Jun Huanzhi: “…”

It turns out that the imprisonment was to protect him.

This realization immediately made Jun Huanzhi feel better.

"When my father recovers from his illness, I will publicly declare to the court officials that everything is a misunderstanding and will not affect your majesty's reputation in any way."

When Jiang Chutang said this, he was obviously absent-minded.

"I have never blamed the princess."

In fact, when Jiang Chutang forcibly took him away at the palace banquet, he couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Chutang wanted to protect him?

This thought flashed through my mind and was gone in a flash.

However, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

Because he was afraid that he would be disappointed.

He tried hard to stop fantasizing, as if that was the only way he wouldn't get hurt.

"Just don't blame me."

Jiang Chutang murmured dejectedly.

"...Princess?"

The current Jiang Chutang is completely different from the Jiang Chutang he knew before.

In his perception, Jiang Chutang was arrogant, bright and lively, just like the rising sun, dazzling and eye-catching.

But he had never seen Jiang Chutang so lifeless.

After calling her several times without any response, Jun Huanzhi's tone was filled with worry that he himself hadn't noticed: "Princess, are you worried about something?"

"No."

Jiang Chutang breathed a sigh of relief, took out a token and stuffed it into Jun Huanzhi's hand: "Take this."

"what is this?"

"A token for dispatching secret guards. If you encounter danger, you can use this token..."

Before Jiang Chutang finished speaking, Jun Huanzhi couldn't help but ask, "How could I be in danger?"

"This……"

Jiang Chutang was a little hesitant.

"Is it possible that your father didn't detoxify at all?"

The more Jun Huanzhi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He asked nervously, "What is the situation with the Duke of Zhenguo? Tell me everything!"

"Your Majesty, I..."

"I want you to tell the truth!"

Under Jun Huanzhi's coercion, Jiang Chutang could only kneel before Jun Huanzhi and cry, bowing his head and admitting his fault: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Sun couldn't save my father, so I can only commit a crime and borrow your name to post an imperial edict, asking for a large sum of money to save my father!"

Jun Huanzhi: “…”

"Your Majesty, are you blaming me?"

Jiang Chutang raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and a tear fell, sad and touching.

"!"

Jun Huanzhi suddenly felt a little at a loss.

He had known Jiang Chutang for so long, but he had never seen her cry once.

She has always been bright and domineering, so arrogant that people want to put a sack on her and beat her up.

"I knew that His Majesty would blame me for acting on my own, but I really have no choice."

Jiang Chutang's voice was filled with despair.

"No."

Jun Huanzhi helped Jiang Chutang stand up and whispered, "I have never blamed you for taking emergency measures."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

Jiang Chutang's legs went limp and he fell directly into Jun Huanzhi's arms.

Before Jun Huanzhi could fully experience the feeling of having a beautiful woman in his arms, Jiang Chutang rolled out of his arms, looking extremely terrified.

This is not a show!

She was really scared. Jun Huanzhi was a married man. Would he feel dirty when she threw him into her arms like this?

"I was so tired, it wasn't intentional."

So many things happened in just half a day that Jiang Chutang was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"No problem."

Somehow, Jun Huanzhi really wanted her to stay with him for a while longer.

"Posting an imperial edict to seek medical treatment... will it work?"

Jun Huanzhi helped Jiang Chutang sit down and asked curiously.

"There must be a brave man under a heavy reward."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chutang looked confident: "I believe that money can move people's hearts. There are so many capable people in the world who can definitely help my father detoxify."

"A big reward?"

Jun Huanzhi was a little moved: "How heavy is it?"

"Fifty thousand taels."

When these words came out, Jun Huanzhi's eyes widened!

So much money!

Even if you sell it ten thousand times, the price won't be more than this, right?

Sensing Jun Huanzhi's intention, Jiang Chutang added slowly: "Gold!"

"Five hundred thousand taels of gold?"

Jun Huanzhi felt like he was about to be knocked unconscious by the small amount of money.

Five hundred thousand taels of gold...how many people can be killed by it?

Anyway, I can kill a million Jun Huanzhis!

no response?

It shouldn’t be!

In desperation, Jiang Chutang had to continue to increase the stakes: "If there really is a miracle doctor who can save my father, in addition to 500,000 taels of gold, I am willing to offer Lianghe's tax revenue for three years!"

"!"

What is most lacking these days is not money, but food!

The tax revenue of Lianghe in one year was equal to the tax revenue of the entire Qi State in three years.

You've been waiting, now's the time!

Jun Huanzhi wished he could grow wings and elope with Jiang Chutang!
