The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs
Chapter 21 Is there anything you can’t withstand?
Seeing that Tong Ze had stood firmly, Lu Jiao let go of his hand, spread a quilt on the ground, and used the other one to cover him.
Tong Ze saw that there was only a bed on the ground and his face started to burn again.
"A Jiao, you've been busy all night. You sleep on the bed and I'll just sit in the corner. I'm used to it."
Lu Jiao looked at the boy who was shorter than himself with heartache and rubbed his head gently.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is for you to sleep with."
As she spoke, she gave him two more buns, but seeing how pitiful he looked, as if he was about to cry, Lu Jiao gritted her teeth and stuffed another bun into his hand.
"Eat this bun first. You must not have slept well last night, so eat it and then have some more sleep. I'll go to the roof to sleep."
Lu Jiao was holding a bundle of buns and wanted to turn around, but found that the corner of her clothes was pulled by Tong Ze.
"You are the one who found this bedding, how can I sleep on it alone? How about... how about..."
Tong Ze hesitated for a while and couldn't explain it clearly.
Lu Jiao felt that if she teased Tong Ze again, blood would probably come out of his face.
"I sleep on the roof because of my technique. I need to absorb the sun's true energy."
Tong Ze's focus was on Kung Fu: "A Jiao, you asked me yesterday if I wanted to learn, could you teach me?"
"Let's talk about this after I wake up. Remember to finish your buns!"
Tong Ze nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that if he agreed too late, Lu Jiao would not teach him martial arts.
He watched Lu Jiao go out, looked at the snow-white bedding on the ground, and rubbed his feet nervously on the ground a few times.
It was already dawn outside.
Tong Ze could now see clearly the dirt on his hands and the rotten shoes on his feet.
He didn't want to dirty the bed, but thinking of the softness of the quilt he had just fallen on, made him feel a little greedy.
The small figure quickly shrank into the quilt and let out a contented sigh.
Remembering Lu Jiao's instructions, he began to eat the buns in big mouthfuls.
Tears fell on my hands, melting away a small piece of dirt.
Tong Ze saw it but didn't care.
After two years in the dungeon, he had long passed the initial stage of hypocrisy and hunger.
Not to mention that the buns were just covered in dirt, he would still eat them even if they were stepped on.
Seeing that Tong Ze had already eaten, Lu Jiao withdrew his mental energy.
He finished all the buns in two bites and then lay down contentedly.
The sunlight fell on Lu Jiao's face, and she felt as if the green part inside her crystal core had come alive, becoming increasingly rich.
But under Lu Jiao's control, the green color quickly faded and the entire crystal core turned transparent again.
She seemed to have discovered a new world, turning green and then transparent, having a lot of fun.
Just before falling asleep, Lu Jiao was still wondering if he could absorb energy more efficiently if he took off all his clothes and basked in the sun.
Lu Jiao didn't know that during the time she was sleeping, there was a huge commotion outside.
Major events happened one after another.
The emperor returned to a side hall in the Qianqing Palace and had finally fallen asleep when he was woken up by Eunuch Quan.
Before he lost his temper, Eunuch Quan told him the news of the Ninth Prince's death.
Thinking of the nightmare he had before, the emperor's sleepiness disappeared.
Before the commander-in-chief could finish reporting the punishment for Master Shen, another guard came to report that Yuehua Palace had been completely emptied.
Before the emperor had digested this news, someone came from the private warehouse and said that the contents of the warehouse had been almost emptied.
After hearing this, the emperor didn't even have time to get angry and fainted from anger.
The Qianqing Palace was in chaos, and the commander-in-chief was on the verge of collapse.
He couldn't help but think about it conspiracy theory.
Could the disappearance of the Ninth Prince be a conspiracy to divert attention?
The purpose is to divert everyone's attention to finding someone and ignore other strange things.
The emperor's private treasury was looted. The problem behind this incident was much more serious than the prince's early death.
This can't be real, I must be dreaming!
Wake up from this nightmare!
Unfortunately, there is no god who can fulfill the commander-in-chief's wish.
He begged for a while and opened his eyes, only to see the panicked palace maids and eunuchs in front of him again.
Eunuch Quan called out to the emperor, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the commander-in-chief still standing in the distance, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Grand Commander! Quickly send people to guard the palace gates, especially the prince's residence, and summon the imperial physician!"
The commander-in-chief finally came to his senses and strode out.
Orders were issued one after another, and at least the fact that the emperor fainted was covered up.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace became extremely serious, as if a coup had occurred in the palace.
It was not until dawn that the emperor slowly woke up with the help of the people in the Imperial Hospital.
The first thing he asked was: "My private vault..."
The imperial doctors stepped back one after another, revealing the figure of Eunuch Quan.
Eunuch Quan could only grit his teeth and nod with great remorse.
The emperor's eyelids fluttered and he almost fainted again. Fortunately, the judge pierced the emperor's palm with a needle.
He regained consciousness in an instant, turned his fallen head around, and stood up again.
"Old Nine... is he really gone?"
Quan Hongsheng had no idea about this matter, so he could only send someone out to ask the commander-in-chief to come in.
"Commander-in-chief, His Majesty has just woken up. Please be more tactful. His Majesty cannot be provoked again!"
After hearing Eunuch Quan's instructions, the emperor stiffened his neck and said, "I can hold on! Zhao Xinjie! Tell me the truth!
If you hide anything, I will punish you!"
The commander-in-chief had no choice but to start with the story of Cheng Xianlin, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, handing over a sign to the palace...
"So, Lao Jiu was burned to death?"
The commander-in-chief nodded sullenly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Go on! Is there anything I can't bear?"
The commander-in-chief thought to himself: You asked me to say this!
So he told everyone the results of the coroner's examination, but he didn't dare to tell them the guess that was meant to divert attention.
bang——
The emperor punched the bed, making a loud noise.
His eyes were red as he squinted at the commander-in-chief, looking as if he had been beaten with twenty sticks.
"Rebel!"
The emperor uttered these two words through gritted teeth.
"Go and capture the second brother and kill him on the spot!"
"Your Majesty! No!" Eunuch Quan spoke out to stop him.
The emperor turned his gaze to Eunuch Quan, and his eyes were so cold that Eunuch Quan shivered.
But he still withstood the pressure and said tremblingly: "There were so many guests in Qinming Cottage last night, I'm afraid that what happened last night has been known to the whole capital.
If we don't hand it over to the Three Law Departments or the Imperial Clan Court for a thorough investigation, and we hastily execute the Second Prince, I'm afraid the Guo family will not accept it!"
"I am the emperor, why should I worry about a minister?"
Eunuch Quan's back was already soaked with sweat.
He couldn't continue to persuade him, so he could only wink at Zhao Xinjie.
The commander-in-chief looked behind him out of habit, only to find that the imperial doctors had all left at some point.
In the bedroom, apart from the three of them, even the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving them had retreated to the door, not daring to get any closer.
What a cunning guy!
