Chapter 523: Brother, hurry up and get back to my sister
The imperial study became quiet again. Xiao Junze stood in the courtyard and looked at the ginkgo leaves on the table.
Chaoyang is here seriously picking up leaves. What is he playing for?
"Your Majesty, there were some maids talking nonsense today. I don't know what they said... which caused Miss Aya to not eat well all day..." Ah Fu came in and asked Xiao Junze how to deal with it.
Xiao Junze frowned, knowing that the rumors in the palace had not been cleared up yet.
"Kill a chicken to scare a monkey, don't take it lightly." Xiao Junze walked straight out of the courtyard and walked to Aya's residence.
After he woke up, he took good care of Aya before he woke up.
One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is to fear that rumors will hurt Aya.
Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xiao Junze. "Your Majesty... there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xiao Junze narrowed his eyes and looked at Ah Fu. "You are already an old man in this palace. You have to decide for yourself what you should say and what you should not say."
"Your Majesty... I just don't want you to be disturbed by those rumors. The person behind this just wants to see you affected by the rumors. You..." Ah Fu bravely spoke.
He also had some connections in the palace, so he naturally knew that His Majesty had people investigating the news that Empress Eldest Sun had given birth to a daughter privately, and was looking for the girl.
Ah Fu was not sure of the emperor's heart, so he could only block it secretly.
He promised Queen Changsun and Chaoyang, so he naturally wanted to protect Aya.
Aya's identity must not be exposed.
"Ah Fu..." Xiao Junze stopped.
Ah Fu was a little panicked and hurried forward. "Your Majesty, Ah Fu is here."
"There are some things that I really don't ask because I want to leave a way for you to survive. Do you understand?" Xiao Junze said with profound meaning.
Ah Fu's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.
He understands...
In order to find out what happened that year, Xiao Junze interrogated all the old slaves in the palace who were related to Queen Changsun. He punished those who were guilty and replaced those who were guilty.
He is the servant of Queen Changsun, so he naturally knows the most.
But Xiao Junze never asked anyone to question him, which just gave him a way to survive.
Because Xiao Junze knew that if Ah Fu didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't say anything even if it meant punishing him for deceiving the emperor and costing him his life.
Ah Cha looked at his master nervously, then quickly caught up with His Majesty, not daring to say anything.
Ah Fu was always kneeling outside Dongyuan. Even if Xiao Junze didn't punish him, he would punish himself.
This is bullying and disrespectful.
…
"Whoosh!" There was a sound, and before Xiao Junze got close to Dongyuan, a figure rushed out and hung on Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze frowned and looked at Amu, whose eyes were filled with grievances...
On weekdays, Aya was always interested in him. It was a little girl, so he indulged her.
This Amu... is almost an adult Gu man. He can defeat the Imperial Palace's Yulin Guards all by himself. He hangs on him with a look on his face asking for help. What kind of expression does that look like...
It's very inconsistent and looks very pitiful.
"Woo..." Amu whimpered and looked at Xiao Junze for help.
After Shen Yunrou's assassination, Amu trusted Xiao Junze more and more.
Because Xiao Junze saved Aya at the cost of his own life.
Amu hid behind Xiao Junze aggrievedly, pointed at his head, and begged Xiao Junze to save him.
Xiao Junze couldn't help but laugh out loud. The only one who could force the killing tool to this extent was Aya, the little overlord of Poison Valley.
"Brother!" Aya still held the Zhu Chai in her hand, clearly trying to force Amu to comb her hair and wear women's clothes.
Amu has always been obedient, and he will agree to anything that makes Aya happy.
But Aya was bored, so she changed Amu into women's clothes, and also put on rouge, gouache and red hairpins. Amu was frightened by his reflection in the bronze mirror, and a shadow arose...
"Aya, don't bully Amu." Xiao Junze rubbed Aya's head. "You must cherish the people around you who are kind to you."
The only person who is willing to disregard life and has no distracting thoughts and only wants to be good to her is the mentally retarded Amu.
Aya hung on Xiao Junze's body boredly, like a human-shaped pendant. "Brother doesn't come to accompany Aya, Aya is bored."
For the sake of Aya's safety, Xiao Junze refused to let her leave Dongyuan.
"When my brother settles the affairs in the palace, I will take Aya to play with the Mu brothers, okay?" Xiao Junze was always very patient with Aya, and his patience seemed to be natural.
No sense of inconsistency.
"Brother, Aya secretly told you that Sister Chaoyang is in the palace." Aya thought Chaoyang was secretly staying in the palace in disguise so as not to let Xiao Junze know.
Her elbows are turned outward now.
Xiao Junze smiled, scraped Aya's little nose, and winked at Aya with admiration. "If you have any other little secrets about Sister Chaoyang, tell me brother."
"Sister Chaoyang and brother have exactly the same little bug inside their bodies." Aya looked deeply at Xiao Junze's heart, and slowly touched it with her little fingers. "When these bugs are close together, they become quiet. They are too separated.
If it goes on for a long time, you will become irritable and restless."
Aya is a talented girl who is born to control voodoos. She has a strong sense of voodoo insects and seems to be able to empathize with all the voodoos.
Xiao Junze was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
Chaoyang suddenly came back to look for him... was it to appease the Gu insect?
Without this love-devouring Gu, Chaoyang would never come back to him.
For a moment, Xiao Junze had mixed feelings in his heart. He was actually a little lucky that the Love Devouring Gu was there.
"Brother, Sister Chaoyang must have the same mind as my brother, and that little bug will enter my body." Little Aya said mysteriously, smiling at Xiao Junze and winking. "When will my brother marry my sister as his wife?"
Son?"
Xiao Junze tapped the tip of Aya's nose again. "Don't cause trouble to my brother, don't bully Amu, eat well, and my brother will work harder."
Aya looked aggrieved and said nothing.
"Brother, Aya will be obedient. Please bring Sister Chaoyang back."
Xiao Junze smiled. "Okay."
…
When leaving Dongyuan, Ah Fu was still kneeling on the same spot.
Ah Fu refused to say what Aya heard, and Aya did not complain to Xiao Junze.
There was always an unspeakable sadness in Xiao Junze's heart, and he neither dared nor wanted to think too much about it.
The girl, about five years old, was sent to southern Xinjiang...
Aya...
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the palace or the royal study?"
"Royal Study Room." Xiao Junze didn't want to go back, for the time being... he didn't want to face Chaoyang.
He wanted to be alone for a while, as he always liked to think wildly lately.
It must be because I think too much.
Aya is the old man's granddaughter and Fuyao's sister. How could it be... related to him?
Pushing open the door of the royal study, Xiao Junze asked Ah Cha to leave first.
A man walked to the imperial desk and suddenly froze in his steps.
With numb fingers, she picked up two yellow flowers on the table, which were made of ginkgo leaves and slender branches.
At first glance, it was Chaoyang who placed it here.
Xiao Junze smiled helplessly, and his heart felt slightly warm.
Turning around, he saw Chaoyang standing outside the door. "Your Majesty, would you like to have a drink?"
Chaoyang's face was still muddy, and his body was covered with mud. He was holding two jars of wine in his hands. "It's the apricot blossom wine that was buried under the tree when I entered Prince Li's Mansion. I want..."
Chaoyang left the palace and dug out the wine secretly.
Xiao Junze's eyes were red, and Chaoyang walked over quickly before he finished speaking.
