Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 3: Different Feelings Every Time We Meet

The next day, Zhao Junning went to the palace early to pay respect to the Emperor of Bian State, Zhao Tianyin. "Your Majesty, Princess Fengling is waiting outside!" The eunuch reported to Zhao Tianyin; Zhao Tianyin said, "Oh~ Let her in!"

"Yes!" Zhao Junning came in with a food basket! Just as Zhao Tianyin was about to run over, he stretched out his hand and coughed: "Cough cough cough!" Zhao Junning slowed down and immediately felt like a lady from a noble family: "Junning greets His Majesty. Long live the emperor!" "Stand up!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the servants left the door, Zhao Junning let go of her temper: "Grandpa Emperor Junning missed you so much!" Zhao Tianyin said with a smile: "Hahaha, girl! Come on, come on, let me see! You've grown taller!"

Zhao Junning stayed beside Zhao Tianyin for a long time like a child and then left Zhao Tianyin's bedroom! On the way out of the palace, a figure suddenly attacked. Because Zhao Junning did not dare to use kung fu in the palace, fortunately, this figure did not hurt her, but just patted Zhao Junning on the shoulder. Zhao Junning turned her head and saw: "Royal brother? Aren't you in the military camp?" Zhao Junhan said: "I have to come back early for Grandpa Huang's birthday. Have you met Grandpa Huang?" Zhao Junning nodded and said: "Yes!" Zhao Junhan said: "In that case, come with me. I need your help!" Zhao Junning was pulled away before she could speak!

When they got outside the palace gate, Zhao Junhan said, "I want you to help me do an autopsy!" Zhao Junning asked, "Autopsy? Isn't there an autopsy in the military camp?" Zhao Junhan said, "It's not the military camp, it's the imperial city. There have been a series of murders in the imperial city in the past few days. Grandpa sent me to investigate secretly. The dead are all officials of the court. Last night, Lord Liu from the Ministry of Justice was also killed! Now the body is being watched by Luo Hu!" Zhao Junning looked at Zhao Junhan and said, "Don't you know kung fu? Why don't you bring the coroner in?"

Zhao Junhan said: "My Kung Fu is nothing compared to Luo Hu's, otherwise why would I come to you? Of course I trust your medical skills and Kung Fu!"

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "How could a well-known God of Wealth who can save lives be afraid of someone who takes care of corpses?" Zhao Junhan said, "Alright, stop teasing me. Just tell me whether you will help or not. If you don't, I can find Jun Hao, him..." "Of course I will help! Of course I agree to such a fun thing." Zhao Junning quickly agreed!

Xu Wenhe came to the general's mansion; Li Ziyan was resting and drinking tea! "General..." Li Ziyan said, "Let him in!" "Yes!"

After Xu Wenhe entered Li Ziyan's study, Li Ziyan ordered the servants to leave! "What's the matter?" Li Ziyan asked; Xu Wenhe said: "I brought you a big news!" Li Ziyan looked at him, and Xu Wenhe said: "There have been murders in the imperial city for several days in a row. I heard that they were all poisoned and died in a similar way to your master's death!

You don't know about worldly affairs, so you must not know!" Li Ziyan paused after hearing this! Xu Wenhe added: "I heard that someone will go to check the body tonight, maybe the murderer will be there!" Li Ziyan didn't speak, but his mind was three years ago: Li Ziyan was practicing in the Marquis' Mansion, and suddenly there was a fire all over the east of the imperial city. He rode his horse at full speed and saw corpses being carried out. He saw his master's body when he looked closely. He ran to see that his master's body was stiff, his fingers were black, his eyes were white, his face was blue and purple, but there was no scar on his body!

At 3:00 pm, Zhao Junning put on her usual mask in her nightgown! After arriving at the morgue with Zhao Junhan, Zhao Junning jumped onto the roof with a light skill, uncovered the tiles of the morgue, and knocked the guard in the morgue unconscious with a silver needle. Then she quickly flew down and gently put the guard down! Then she began the autopsy, and she walked straight to the body of Liu Yu from the Ministry of Justice!

After removing the shroud, he first looked at Liu Yu's eyes, then his ten fingers, and then stabbed his chest with a silver needle. Just as he pulled out the silver needle, Li Ziyan also sneaked in. When Zhao Junning saw them, the two looked at each other, and the guard woke up at this time and saw the two people and shouted: "Help! There are assassins!"

Zhao Junhan, who was outside the door, heard the shouting and saw that the guards were about to surround the morgue. He lit a fire not far from the morgue and shouted, "The assassin is in trouble! The assassin is in trouble!"

He stabbed his arm with a dagger! Half of the guards ran towards Zhao Junhan and the other half surrounded the morgue! Li Ziyan wanted to run away when he saw this, but Zhao Junning thought he was the murderer and chased him. The two jumped onto the roof.

The guards also saw that they couldn't catch up! Zhao Junning chased after Li Ziyan into the dark woods. The two stopped and Zhao Junning asked, "Who are you?"

Li Ziyan turned around and asked, "Qingshuang?" Zhao Junning looked him up and down and said, "Jiang Ziling? Oh, I see. You didn't kill someone and you're worried that Liu Yu is not dead yet, so you want to finish him off? Tell me, what are you thinking? You just know how to kill, kill, kill! Blood for blood, the more blood you repay, the more you get!"

Li Ziyan sneered and said, "In my opinion, you are the murderer!" Zhao Junning laughed and said, "Hahaha! Me? If I were the murderer, why wouldn't I just kill the person and burn him directly!"

Li Ziyan thought about it and felt that it was right. He didn't want to talk to Zhao Junning any more and was about to leave. Zhao Junning said, "Want to leave? Not that easy!" He kicked the stone under his feet towards Li Ziyan. After Li Ziyan dodged, the two started fighting. After nearly a hundred rounds, there was no winner. Zhao Junning said, "I didn't expect that you would tie with me again today. You've improved a lot."

Then when Li Ziyan was about to hit Zhao Junning, Zhao Junning smiled slightly and hit him with a palm. After resisting the palm power of Li Ziyan, they all retreated. After a few moves, they used internal force to knock off each other's masks. Zhao Junning saw that Li Ziyan was fascinated by her: "Jiang Ziling, we have known each other for such a long time. You shouldn't be so fascinated even if you haven't seen me once, right?" Li Ziyan glanced at Zhao Junning and didn't dare to look at her a second time. In his heart, he thought: Why do I feel that she is more attractive every time I see her?

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Why are you shy and silent when you see me? You don't like me, do you? We have known each other for five years, but it's quite interesting to meet in this situation now. There are many beauties in the world who are prettier than me. You won't be shy every time you see me take off my mask, right? If you see the number one beauty Wen Weixi, won't you faint?"

Li Ziyan ignored him and turned to leave. Zhao Junning asked, "Ghost Hand King of Hell Jiang Ziling, why are you in such a hurry? We are old friends." Then he said, "But I didn't expect that you, who are usually so carefree, would be so serious today? By the way, I tell you, you can't leave the Imperial City! You will definitely come to see me tomorrow!"

Li Ziyan ignored him and walked away. Zhao Junning said loudly, "I will wait for you at Yuchun Restaurant tomorrow!" Then she whispered, "You will definitely come to see me! I have specially made poison, and I will see if you will come!"

"Jun Ning! Jun Ning!" Zhao Junhan shouted while looking for Zhao Junning! "Brother, I'm here!" Zhao Junning responded after hearing it; Zhao Junhan ran over and checked Zhao Junning's body and asked, "Are you okay? Why was there another person just now?"

Zhao Junning said, "I'm fine. The man just now should also be here to perform an autopsy! Let's go and talk while we walk! By the way, are you okay?" Zhao Junhan replied, "I'm fine, I just set the fire and they can't do anything to me! Okay, tell me what you found?" Zhao Junning began to explain in detail, "There was a strange fragrance in the morgue. I didn't have time to look at the other bodies, I only saw Liu Yu's! His eyes were still full of blood! His fingers were black! But the strange thing is that the poison was all in his chest and abdomen! There was no sign of poisoning on his head at all, and he died as if he was asleep!"

Zhao Junhan asked, "Then do you know what kind of poison he was poisoned with?" Zhao Junning thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Master's Book of Poisons once recorded a poison called 蔊. This poison is more toxic than 鸩酒, but it is colorless and odorless! Anyone who takes it will die within a quarter of an hour with their whole body festering. But it has a characteristic that the damage to the dead body only remains in the chest and abdomen! So..."

"So Liu Yu died first and then was poisoned?" Zhao Junning nodded and said, "Now there is only this one theory! It seems that Liu Yu was poisoned by more than one kind of poison!" Zhao Junhan asked, "Do you think it was Wang Luozhong who did it?" Zhao Junning said, "I'm not sure, but with Wang Luozhong's style, he wouldn't leave such a big loophole after killing someone!" Then he said, "Forget it, let's just go and check it out tomorrow!"

Zhao Junhan asked, "How do I check?" He looked at Zhao Junning's expression and said, "You're not going to steal Uncle Wang's crown prince token, are you?"

Zhao Junning laughed, and Zhao Junhan said, "No, no, if Uncle Wang finds out, he'll skin you alive!" Zhao Junning retorted, "You talk as if you've never stolen Uncle Wang's token! I'm on official business, but you stole Uncle Wang's token for personal matters last time! I'm... "

Zhao Junhan quickly covered Zhao Junning's mouth and said, "Alright, alright, alright, my sister, I was wrong, I was wrong!" After putting his hand down, Zhao Junning said, "Don't worry! I will definitely bring it back carefully. It's getting late and we have to go back!"

Zhao Junning sneaked in from the backyard of the Prince's Mansion and was about to go back to her room to change clothes! "Ahem! You have to dress like this to see your grandfather?" She only heard a greeting behind her! Zhao Junning was shocked and turned around and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, mother, you haven't rested yet? Where's father? Is he asleep?"

At this time, a hand reached out from the side and pinched Zhao Junning's ear and said, "You're asking me if I slept? Where did you go in the middle of the night, you little girl? Dressed like this? Do you want everyone in the imperial city to know your identity?" Zhao Junning covered her ears and said, "Oh, father, father, oh, daddy, daddy! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Meng Xiangning smiled at Zhao Junning's expression. Zhao Nian said, "You still feel the pain?" Zhao Junning said, "Father, I know I was wrong. Next time, next time, it's wrong, there will definitely not be a next time!"

Meng Xiangning walked over and said, "Alright, alright, you're obviously concerned but you're just pretending! And no matter how good your kung fu is, you went out in the middle of the night without telling us! You must be hungry, I asked Fuling to bring you food that you like in your room! Go quickly!" Zhao Junning glanced at Zhao Nian and said to Meng Xiangning with a smile, "My mother still loves me! Your daughter is leaving first, don't be angry, I'll lend you your prince token tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his room! Zhao Nian looked at Zhao Junning's figure and pointed at her and said, "This, this, this, you are the one who spoiled this damn girl. She borrowed my token and was so confident. I am so angry!"

Meng Xiangning smiled and patted Zhao Nian on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, you care about your daughter so you don't have to scold her. Okay, alright, let's go. It's getting late. Go back and rest early!" The two walked back to the room side by side. Zhao Nian asked again, "Where's Jun Hao?" Meng Xiangning said, "Jun Hao went to Yongcheng to pay a visit to his master, General Yuan! Don't worry about him!"

"The child has grown up and left without telling me, his father! He only thinks about you, his mother." Meng Xiangning said, "You are so old and still jealous of the child!" Under the moonlight, the couple's shadows are getting longer and longer, and the sound of frogs and insects at night accompanies them back to the room! The moonlight illuminates the entire huge imperial city with white walls, black tiles and clear river water!

The next day, Zhao Junning booked a private room at Yuchun Restaurant early in the morning and gave the restaurant owner and waiter a portrait of Li Ziyan. Then he went upstairs to wait in the private room. He poured a cup of tea and thought about Li Ziyan's face last night while drinking it. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously!

The door of the private room creaked open and Li Ziyan walked in. Zhao Junning smiled at Li Ziyan and approached him and said, "I told you that you would definitely come to see me. Are you missing me so much that you can't sleep at night and your face doesn't look good?"

He approached Li Ziyan, stretched out his arms, leaned forward, slammed the door shut, forced Li Ziyan against the door, looked him up and down, and said, "Since the dignified Blood Hand King of Hell can't sleep at night because he misses me too much, it seems that you are not the kind of person who is not interested in women as the rumors say!"

Li Ziyan took a deep breath and walked forward, while Zhao Junning retreated to the wall pillar. Li Ziyan leaned against the wall pillar and said, "The great black-faced doctor is not as serious as the rumors say, right? Bring me the antidote!" Zhao Junning pointed at his waist and said, "The antidote is here, do you want it? Take it yourself! Oh, I remembered that your arm is also very painful, isn't it?"

Li Ziyan grabbed Zhao Junning's shoulders with both hands, shook his head and said, "Don't mess with me, or you will pay a price you can't make up for!"

Zhao Junning continued to tease him, "What price can't I make up for it? It doesn't matter, you marry me and I'll pay any price!" Li Ziyan directly carried Zhao Junning to the bed and put her on the bed, pressing her body on Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning also followed suit and put her hands on Li Ziyan's neck and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Li Ziyan gradually approached Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning closed her eyes. Suddenly, Li Ziyan stood up. Zhao Junning opened her eyes and looked at Li Ziyan holding the antidote on her waist. Zhao Junning said, "Do you dare to eat it?"

Li Ziyan glanced at Zhao Junning and threw the antidote into his mouth. After calming down, he said, "A woman has never been like you!"

Zhao Junning sat up and said, "What's wrong with me? Didn't you see it today?"

Li Ziyan didn't want to talk any more and was about to leave, but Zhao Junning said, "Do you really want to find out the cause of Liu Yu's death? Cooperate with me and we will definitely find out together!"

Then he stood up and said, "Don't worry, I won't be like last night this time. Do you want to cooperate?" Li Ziyan ignored her. Zhao Junning continued, "It will be faster to close the case if you cooperate with me. Besides, now you can only enter the imperial city but not leave. Even if you are very good at Qinggong, you are still curious, right? Why don't we cooperate and find the murderer as soon as possible?"

Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning as if he was thinking about something. He thought: Seeing that she came and went freely in the imperial city, her identity must be very noble. Cooperating with her would save some trouble! Li Ziyan said, "How do you want to check?" Zhao Junning saw that Li Ziyan agreed to cooperate, so he walked to the table, sat down, took out the token and said, "Here, rely on it!"

When Li Ziyan saw the token, he became suspicious and asked, "Prince's token?"

Zhao Junning asked, "Well! Just rely on it! The whole imperial city respects the prince of Dabian State very much. With this imperial sword in hand, the guards dare not do anything to him!" Then Zhao Junning grabbed Li Ziyan's arm and twisted it around. Li Ziyan swung his arm and really had strength! Zhao Junning said, "How about I'm awesome!"
