After I broke up with the emperor

This Li Yunjian had no idea that Lu Jitang had classified him as a loving mother.

He held a stack of thick letters in his hand, and there was a man kneeling in front of him. The man kneeling was wearing a black cloak, which covered his whole body deeply. The head under the veil was different from ordinary people. There were two The size of an adult head.

"When Mr. Lu first arrived in Huzhou, it was just a few months after the New Year's Eve. He was washing clothes and doing laundry, so he got chilblains on his hands. Once he got chilblains, he would suffer from them every year."

The man kneeling on the ground spoke emotionlessly, the voice seemed to be locked in a box, and it came out along with the buzzing sound.

He raised his head slightly, revealing his face under the veiled cap. The man's whole head was locked in an iron hood. Except for two eyes that were exposed, the whole hood had no place to vent his breath.

"At the end of the year, Mr. Lu got out of slavery and became a teacher in the town outside the Huzhou military camp."

Li Yunjian nodded, this paragraph was exactly the same as what Lu Jitang told him.

He casually flipped through the paper in his hand, and paused when he saw two slightly abrupt words.

"Merchant?"

It was written on the paper: With the help of a local merchant, Mr. Lu got out of slavery and became a teacher in the town.

Huzhou has been in war all year round, the people are struggling to survive, and they don't even have basic trade. How can anyone do business there?

"The merchant has found no such person. There is also a saying that when this person and his wife went shopping together, they were sealed in the mountain by heavy snow. The body was recovered when the snow melted in spring next year. The body was buried in a hurry on the day it was found."

Li Yunjian nodded, it seems that Tianbao is the child left by the merchant's family.

He knew Lu Jitang too well, if someone had a favor for him, he would have to repay it for the rest of his life, so Lu Jitang did not hesitate to find such a reason to enter the palace, and he found the reason why he wanted to treat Tian Bao.

The merchant treated him kindly, so he wanted to repay the kindness.

After carefully reading Lu Jitang's life in Huzhou for the past three years, Li Yunjian pulled the candlestick on the table and burned the letter.

"You have to watch over the Queen's side carefully these few days. If someone sends a letter to the palace, they will be shot and killed if they are alive, and the token cannot be seen by him. The matter in Huzhou is not yet complete. Continue to investigate."

The man in black mechanically replied "yes" and stepped back.

Li Yunjian stared at the ashes on the table in a daze, he was a little scared, he was afraid that once Tian Bao's illness was cured, Lu Jitang would leave.

For some reason, he always had this kind of thought in his heart these days, he was afraid that Lu Jitang would have contact with people outside, and he also knew that Lu Jitang's return this time was not sincere.

Just like three years ago, when he asked Lu Jitang to leave, Lu Jitang left without looking back.

It seems that the person who did something wrong was Li Yunjian, not Lu Jitang.

Touching the "Golden Chamber and Diligence" in his arms, Li Yunjian's thoughts drifted back to the time when Lu Jitang was young.

***

"Brother, until the spring test, I will go alone, so don't follow me."

Seeing the spring exam getting closer, Li Yunjian began to feel anxious.

Lu Jitang broke away from Li Yunjian and grabbed his sleeve tightly, his ears were reddish.

Ever since the two of them spent the night in the confinement room that day, Li Yunjian became more aggressive, because he found that Lu Jitang did not reject his touch, which annoyed Lu Jitang, and at most he would push him and push him away. Push it far.

so what?Li Yunjian can just follow up.

The two studied together, ate together, and seemed closer than before.

Seeing that Lu Jitang didn't ask him why, Li Yunjian rushed to ask and answer.

"As soon as I saw you, I didn't feel like answering the questions."

Lu Jitang didn't ask him, of course he knew what he was going to say, so he didn't want to be teased by him.

"Then you can enter the palace by yourself."

After Lu Jitang finished speaking, he got up and went to soak in the pool. The gate was tightly closed, for fear that someone would break in.

On the day of the spring test, Lu Jitang followed Zhou Baoyong into the palace.

Today, there are four sons in the sage, among them, His Highness the Crown Prince and Li Yunjian are both descendants of the Queen. His Highness the Crown Prince has always been dignified and deeply loved. His Royal Highness, everyone just thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is too far away.

This gap is not only in terms of knowledge, but also in various senses. According to senior brother Han, if Li Yunjian is not a prince, he is not qualified to enter the emperor's residence.

All the princes were taking their school exams, Lu Jitang was bored, and wandered around the imperial garden by himself. The atmosphere in the palace today was very serious, and the concubines of the palaces did not dare to walk around casually. After walking around twice, Lu Jitang saw a man walking towards him. people.

The man greeted him from afar: "Young Master Lu."

Lu Jitang was a little shy, and when the man approached, he realized that it was Chu Jiaoyu, the personal guard of His Royal Highness, the second son of the General Protector's family.

He bowed slightly and greeted Chu Jiaoyu. It was not the first time the two had talked, and their respective identities did not need to avoid suspicion, but this time Chu Jiaoyu looked around very cautiously before speaking softly.

"Young Master Lu, I heard that the Zhuofeng Palace is also open for the spring imperial examination."

Lu Jitang was startled. Under the wide sleeves, the thumb and index finger rubbed together, and the frequency became faster and faster.

It is well known that the imperial examinations are divided into literary and military examinations, but in fact there is another unknown link here, which is the Zhuofeng Palace. Not everyone can participate in the Zhuofeng Palace competition, but must be recommended by the prince Yes, a prince can only recommend one person, the door of the palace closes at noon and opens at midnight the next day, when the door opens, there is only one living person left in the palace, and the living person is not allowed to leave the palace gate, but the eunuch first passes in an iron helmet and puts it on. Put on clean clothes before you can go out.

The dead bodies in the hall were all in various forms, but without exception, their faces were all blurred, and no one knew who was walking out of the hall door.

The only one who survived the palace was directly included in the Zhuofeng camp, specializing in the emperor's dark knife.

Because this method is too cruel, the gate of Zhuofeng Palace has not been opened for ten years.

"Master Chu wants to..."

Lu Jitang almost guessed what Chu Jiaoyu was thinking.

"That's right, I want to go to Zhuofeng Palace for a try."

If he survived by luck, Chu Jiaoyu would become the emperor's confidant, and the crown prince's foundation would be more stable. After the emperor lived for a hundred years, Chu Jiaoyu would directly assist the prince to ascend the throne.

Lu Jitang shook his head, not quite agreeing with Chu Jiaoyu's idea.

"His Royal Highness's foundation has been stabilized, and Lord Chu does not need to make this sacrifice. What's more, His Royal Highness will not allow Lord Chu to go to Zhuofeng Hall."

This is the purpose of Chu Jiaoyu looking for Lu Jitang, "Prince Teng takes every step of the way, His Highness the Crown Prince is going through very difficult times in the court. I mentioned this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince once, and His Highness directly rejected it."

"So... I want His Royal Highness Toli to send me in."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Li are brothers of the same blood, and the foundation of the Crown Prince will be the foundation of the future King Li.

Lu Jitang was silent. Li Yunjian said that no one should be sent to Zhuofeng Hall. If he really wanted to force someone in, it would probably be him, Lu Jitang.

But he doesn't know martial arts, he only knows some self-defense techniques, which were taught by Li Yunjian when he was idle.

But if neither Li Yunjian nor His Royal Highness sent people into Zhuofeng Palace, but King Teng sent people in, the situation would be very unfavorable. Chu Jiaoyu probably came to him with this in mind.

"I will bring this up with His Royal Highness King Li, but I still hope Lord Chu thinks twice before acting. His Royal Highness is always upright, and he needs soldiers standing by his side more than secret guards behind his back."

What's more, this trip is a matter of life and death, no matter whether he survives or not, the second son of the general who protects the country will never appear in front of everyone again.

Chu Jiaoyu nodded, he knew it, and he was very grateful for Lu Jitang's willingness to help.

At noon, the previous school examinations were finally over. Lu Jitang and Chu Jiaoyu stood at the entrance of the hall, watching the vermilion door slowly open. The crown prince and Li Yunjian walked out together.

When Li Yunjian came up to him, Lu Jitang realized that his face was a little gloomy. Lu Jitang didn't take it seriously, only when he passed the exams that he didn't know.

"Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Jitang hadn't entered an official yet, so he could only call himself a grassroots citizen, but the prince cherished his talents, and when he met him, he would often jokingly ask him when he would take the imperial examination.

"Yaochuan doesn't need to be polite, just get up and talk."

This time the crown prince didn't tease him, Lu Jitang was still not used to it, he glanced at the crown prince's face, his heart sank suddenly.

The prince's face was also very ugly, he even lost his usual smile, and looking at Li Yunjian who had been staring at him, Lu Jitang had a vague guess in his heart.

"You go back first, I will send someone to your place tomorrow."

The crown prince waved his hand and gave Li Yunjian the order to evict the guest, as if there was something urgent, before Li Yunjian could reply, he took Chu Jiaoyu away.

On the way back, Li Yunjian, who has always been clingy, sat far away from Lu Jitang, his face was always facing outside, and he didn't give Lu Jitang a look.

After arriving at the Emperor's Mansion and returning to Lu Jitang's room, Li Yunjian dared to look him in the eye.

"If there is something, just say it directly, and the matter can be resolved. If you don't talk about it all the time, it will never be resolved."

This is what my husband has always taught, so as soon as Lu Jitang finished speaking, Li Yunjian began to curse. After listening for a long time, Lu Jitang understood that Li Yunjian was scolding King Teng.

After another cup of tea, Lu Jitang finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the opening of Zhuofeng Palace this year was initiated by King Teng. He also made an opinion, that is to force each prince to send one person into the palace. Personal choice, but Li Yunjian has only one Lu Jitang by his side.

"Trash is trash! Always thinking of dirty tricks! If he lets Damon enter the palace, then I will go in and see for myself!"

In the list given by King Teng, although His Royal Highness had three of them, there was only one general, Chu Jiaoyu, and the other two were frail scholars like Lu Jitang, not to mention that Lu Jitang was the only one on Li Yunjian's side.

And beside King Teng, besides Damon, who is brave and good at fighting, there is also a martial arts master.

He wanted to pass the test of Zhuofeng Palace this time, either to remove the scribes from the prince's lineage, or to pull out the warriors from the prince's lineage.

"Father actually agreed! How could father agree?"

Li Yunjian couldn't figure it out, but Lu Jitang probably guessed that the emperor probably took a fancy to either Damon or Chu Jiaoyu and wanted to take it for his own use.

Lu Jitang calmly made a cup of tea, poured it for Li Yunjian, and poured another cup for himself.

"What about His Royal Highness?"

King Yu is the fourth son of the emperor, born of a court lady. He is only fifteen years old, has no intentions, and has no one around him.

Li Yunjian was in a hurry: "The fourth is not the point! There are only a few eunuchs around the fourth, so why not ask the fourth to find one of the eunuchs and send it to the palace?"

Lu Jitang took a sip of his tea, and slowly asked the question: "Do you think His Highness Prince Teng will use His Highness Prince Yu's hand to block people?"

Li Yunjian was stunned for a long time, and suddenly figured out the biggest problem here, that is the blank space around King Yu, this blank space, he can fill it with people, and King Teng can also fill it with people.

Although there are two people in the prince's lineage, Chu Jiaoyu is the only general who can fight all the time. If King Teng sends another general into the palace through King Yu, those two generals can easily kill Lu Jitang and Chu Jiaoyu.

"His Royal Highness must have thought of it a long time ago. Let's see how His Royal Highness arranges it. At worst, I will be with Master Chu—"

Before Lu Jitang finished speaking, he was dragged into a firm embrace. Li Yunjian held him tight and refused to let go, threatening: "Don't even think about entering the palace! Let me see who dares to let you in. temple!"
