"Suddenly, when the king came to power, the country of Lan was fighting against foreign enemies. The changes in officials in the court were temporarily put on hold. However, he promoted Yang Fu to the rank of Grand Master, and the other officials remained unchanged. Why do you think he did this?" Zhu Zijian asked.
Zhu Ziye said: "Yang Fu does not belong to the left or the right. Is King Hu doing this to promote his own people?"
Zhu Zijian nodded, "Yes, the Lan Kingdom has already been in turmoil now. Although Zuo Xiang Qi Bi is King Wei's grandfather, the two should be on the same front. However, Zuo Xiang's power is gradually growing in the court.
King Wei will definitely be on guard. So even if there is no Xuanyang Palace, the fate of Lan Kingdom will eventually change drastically."
"And all you and I can do is protect ourselves."
Zhu Ziye's eyes flashed and he pursed his lips slightly.
"This morning, King Wei specifically mentioned the candidates for the Dragon God Banquet, asking the ministries to recommend suitable candidates. I think the final quota will be announced soon."
Zhuzi Jian responded: "There is only half a month before the Dragon God's Banquet. We must hurry up. Now the affairs of Zhongxiu Province are temporarily handled by You Chengwei Boping. If you want to persuade him to choose you,
To participate in the Dragon God's Banquet, you must be fully prepared. Tomorrow I will visit with Fifth Brother as the first-class black warrior of Xuanyang Palace's Brave Slaughter Sect, I believe this will prevent him from having any doubts."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the house tomorrow at noon." Zhu Ziye nodded and responded cheerfully.
Although it was the first time to get along with Zhu Zijian, my understanding of him was limited to the conversation between the two just now.
But Zhuzijian's firmness and calmness made him feel particularly stable.
It seems that the two have known each other for a long time and already have a tacit understanding.
Zhuzi bowed and said goodbye, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first, sixth brother. I'll come to you on time tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of the window and fell into darkness.
Zhu Ziye slowly exhaled a breath, as if he wanted to let out all the tension in his heart.
Everything will change after tonight.
It will only become more confusing in the future.
He was really looking forward to it.
***
After leaving the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhu Zijian immediately rushed back to the East Gate Mansion.
Tomorrow's negotiations with Wei Boping still need to be cautious. There are some things she must tell Jingxin in advance.
As soon as she returned to the house, she saw a man sneaking around in the grass in the middle of the front yard, which was lit by candles.
Jingxin, with her brows furrowed and a look of helplessness, stood aside and stared at the figure.
"What happened?" Zhu Zijian walked to the grass and asked Jingxin.
The sudden appearance of Zhuzijian made Jingxin suddenly startled, "Heishi, you are back."
He paused and said, "Miss Alan lost the letter from Jinglin Gate and is looking for it now."
Zhu Zijian's gaze crossed Jingxin and landed on Alan, who was kneeling in the grass and shivering. The white clothes he was wearing had been stained by mud, and he looked miserable.
"Alan, raise your head and speak."
Alan shuddered, raised his head nervously, and said with a sad face, "Sir, I was wrong."
"What happened just now?" Zhu Zijian asked.
Alan's face turned pale and he said tremblingly: "Just now, a beautiful lady asked me to get your letter. After I got it, I went to your room to give it to you, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.
I. I just want to put the letter in my pocket first and give it to you when I see your young master. Then... Miss Bai came to me just now and said that the letter belonged to Master He and asked me to exchange it for him. I originally wanted to
I returned the letter, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Then..."
"Then Bai Xi came to me and specifically told me about this matter, and asked me to give an explanation." Seeing that Bai Xi was so nervous that she couldn't speak, Jing Xin took over what she said and reported back, "I came to Alan to ask about this matter, and then I found out.
She's in the grass."
Zhu Zijian only heard a general idea and knew that there must be something fishy about it.
Letters sent to her by Xuanyang Palace were always sent only to Jingxin, and they could never be received by anyone from other sects.
Moreover, every letter sent from Xuanyang Palace cannot be discovered openly. If it is discovered by an interested person or a killer from other sects, the consequences will be disastrous.
Asking Alan to pick up the mail is a trick full of holes.
And only Bai Bai can do this little trick that is easily discovered.
"It seems that the people in Jinglin Sect are very busy recently." Zhu Zijian looked at Alan who was still kneeling on the ground, "Jingxin, you come with me. Alan, you also follow."
Alan looked at Zhuzi Jian's retreating figure and sighed deeply in his heart.
Finally alive!
The young master was so terrifying. Even though he just glanced at her, he already made her feel uneasy. It was as if her neck was being pinched and she didn't dare to breathe.
terrible!
Jingxin glanced at Alan, who was still panting hurriedly, and reminded him in a low voice: "Alan, hurry up and follow."
"Okay, okay." Alan tapped his head gently.
She had to stay calm to avoid causing trouble later.
Zhu Zijian stood in front of the door of He Rongjia's room and shouted softly, "Master He, Master Jian, the brave slayer of the door, is here to see you."
‘Zhila’
The door opens from the inside.
He Rongjia smiled slightly and looked at Zhuzi Jian, "Junior brother, please."
Zhuzi Jian nodded slightly and said to Jingxin and Alan behind him, "Wait for me outside."
After speaking, she followed He Rongjia through the door.
Zhuzi Jiandao: "Senior sister, we have not found any clues about that group of mysterious people so far. They are probably still hiding in Lan State. In order to ensure the safety of senior sister, I will send a message to Xuanyang Palace and ask the palace owner to send someone to pick them up.
Senior Sister, please take refuge in Xuanyang Palace."
He Rongjia raised his eyes to look at Zhuzi Jian, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
"Zijian, you want to drive me away?"
Zhu Zijian responded calmly, "Senior sister, you are too worried. I just don't want you to encounter any accidents. Those mysterious killers have unknown origins and are powerful. We must be extra careful."
"You just want to drive me away." He Rongjia looked persistent, but the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. "You just don't want me to stay with you?"
Zhuzi Jian did not respond and looked very calm.
She always said little about He Rongjia's occasional temper tantrums.
"Okay, I can go back to Xuanyang Palace. However, I have a condition. I will only return to Xuanyang Palace as long as you promise me." The emotions in He Rongjia's eyes were complicated, and his eyes were a little more determined.
"Okay." Zhu Zijian glanced at He Rongjia and nodded.
"The next time I leave Xuanyang Palace, it will be time to enter the palace to choose a concubine. When that day comes, I want you to accompany me into the palace." He Rongjia pretended to be relaxed and smiled slightly.
"..."
The air suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Zijian had a sullen face and did not respond.
She couldn't figure out for a moment why her senior sister had to designate herself to accompany her into the palace...
