Happy Spring Every Year
Chapter 42 Jiang Xun and Lu Yunzheng
There is a small hall at the side door of Prince Rong's Mansion, which has been carefully tidied up.
Lu Yunzheng walked in from the side door. Even though he was careful to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the gloom between his brows.
He has been looking forward to this opportunity for several days!
But for some reason, something went wrong. The adulterer who had committed adultery with the Crown Princess never escaped from the courtyard wall like he did in his previous life.
He caught the man's eye because he caught the adulterer, and was gradually appreciated by him. Then he rose to prominence and became famous all over the world.
Now, everything is ruined!
If that person hadn't acted as a go-between, how could I have left the Military Command Headquarters and gone to the Beijing Guard Station?
"Deputy Commander Lu, my master is waiting for you inside."
Beifeng stood outside the hall and stretched out his hand towards Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng took a deep breath and immediately suppressed all his chaotic thoughts.
When he heard that Jiang Xun wanted to see him just now, Lu Yunzheng admitted that he was panicked for a moment.
Because of the convenience of rebirth, he knew that he had a chance to rise to fame today, so he couldn't help but feel impatient, fearing that he would miss the opportunity, so he stayed outside Prince Rong's mansion for a long time with his subordinates.
After all, patrolling the city is his job as the military commander, and he could probably brush others off with just a few words.
But Jiang Xun...is different from others.
In his previous life, before he made his mark, Jiang Xun's name was already known to everyone in the capital.
The people loved him for his integrity, praised him for his fearlessness of power and wealth, and praised him as bright as the blue sky and bright sun.
But just as there are countless people who like him, there are also bound to be countless people who hate him.
Even that person has always regarded Jiang Xun as a thorn in his side.
In his previous life, when he returned to Beijing from the border, he heard that Jiang Xun was implicated in the Shen family case and had lost the emperor's favor.
You have to know that Jiang Xun is a stubborn and stubborn person who has offended countless people. Many people want to kill him, and now they have seized the opportunity to kick him when he is down.
Anyang Bo was worried that Jiang Xun would get into trouble because of this, so he simply imprisoned him in his mansion and asked the emperor for a long vacation.
When he heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer.
The evidence of the Shen family's treason is solid, and everyone is trying to avoid it, but Jiang Xun wants to do the opposite.
Jiang Xun has no relationship with the Shen family at all. Lu Yunzheng doesn't believe that there is anyone in this world who would go to such lengths for someone who has nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility.
Jiang Xunding was also a man who sought fame and reputation, just like those pedantic censors, who tried every possible means to leave his name in history.
He looked down on Jiang Xun's behavior and thought that he was very hypocritical, but he had to admit that Jiang Xun was indeed resourceful, smart and capable.
When I reached this point in my thoughts, Lu Yunzheng had already entered the hall.
Jiang Xun was sitting in the upper seat, looking down at his wrist. The handprint that was red just now had begun to turn blue.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Xun looked up at the person coming.
Well, he is indeed tall and handsome.
"I am Lu Yunzheng, the deputy commander of the East City Military Command, and I am here to pay my respects to Lord Jiang." Lu Yunzheng saluted respectfully.
Even though his background was similar to Jiang Xun's, Jiang Xun was much luckier than him. He was now the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Whenever they met, he had to bow obediently.
Originally, he would have surpassed Jiang Xun in less than two years, but something unexpected happened today, which disrupted his pace!
Just as Lu Yunzheng was feeling unwilling, he heard Jiang Xun hum lightly and asked directly:
"Deputy Commander Lu, do you know what happened in the Prince's Mansion today?"
Lu Yunzheng nodded immediately upon hearing this, but a hint of doubt appeared on his face. "I just heard the sound of swords clashing inside the mansion, but I don't know the details."
"There was a thief in the mansion, and he has been executed." Jiang Xun replied indifferently.
Lu Yunzheng's eyelids lifted when he heard this, but he was afraid of showing something strange, so he quickly lowered his head and apologized respectfully:
"I have failed to patrol the city properly, and I beg you to punish me."
Lu Yunzheng knew very well that the person executed was not the so-called thief at all, but the "adulterer" arranged by that person. At this moment, the Crown Princess must be ashamed and angry to death.
Jiang Xun stared at Lu Yunzheng for a moment with clear eyes, then shook his head and said calmly:
"Today's incident was impossible to prevent. Deputy Commander Lu has fulfilled his duties conscientiously. What crime has he committed?"
"Now that the thief is dead, Deputy Commander Lu can rest assured. From now on, you will need to pay more attention to the surrounding areas of the Prince's Palace. Go ahead."
Seeing that Jiang Xun hadn't asked about his stay outside the mansion at all, Lu Yunzheng felt relieved, and secretly laughed at himself for overestimating Jiang Xun.
He...is nothing special.
"This is my responsibility. Please rest assured, sir. I will take my leave."
Lu Yunzheng bowed again, and his heart finally relaxed a little. He took a few steps back and turned to leave.
But before he took a few steps, Jiang Xun's voice suddenly rang out again:
"It's also God's will. It just so happened that Deputy Commander Lu was right outside that palace wall."
"Even if the palace guards fail, with the deputy commander here, they will definitely be able to apprehend the thief."
Lu Yunzheng's mind was relaxed, but when he heard these words suddenly, his eyes widened instantly and he turned to look at Jiang Xun.
He already had something to hide, so he felt that these words had a hidden meaning.
Jiang Xun's eyes flashed when he saw this, but his expression remained calm. Seeing Lu Yunzheng suddenly lose his composure, he just tilted his head slightly in confusion.
Lu Yunzheng came back to his senses immediately and lowered his eyes hastily to cover up his loss of composure, but his heart was pounding.
He should have been more vigilant. Jiang Xun was indeed not that simple!
What did he mean by that? Did he guess something? Or did he have the same great fortune as himself?
"Deputy Commander Lu, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xun frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
When Lu Yunzheng raised his eyes again, he still couldn't see any thoughts on Jiang Xun's face.
He slowly clenched his fist, exhaled a breath of frustration, and said respectfully, "It is my honor to be able to share your worries, sir. I will take my leave."
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Xun had already lowered his head and no longer looked at him.
Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth secretly and left quickly without stopping.
Only then did Jiang Xun slowly raise his head, stroking the bruise on his wrist from time to time, his eyes showing deep meaning.
This Lu Yunzheng...
"Sir, His Royal Highness the Grandson has awakened, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang wishes to see you."
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng had left, Beifeng immediately came in to deliver the message.
Jiang Xun stood up upon hearing that and strode out.
----
On the other side, Chaoyunyuan.
Shen Jiasui had a good foundation after all, and after taking the right medicine, he woke up in just an hour.
"Sui Sui!"
Ji Wan's eyes were red. Seeing this, she immediately leaned over with a look of concern on her face.
Shen Jiasui blinked, and after a while, he came back to his senses and called out softly, "Mom."
The voice is still hoarse.
"Sui Sui, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Does your chest hurt? Are you still feeling hot?"
Ji Wan asked quickly, reaching out to touch Shen Jiansui's forehead.
Shen Jiasui immediately shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, Suisui is fine now, but...how are the others? Has the thief been caught? Where is this place?"
Before Ji Wan could answer, a pair of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, reaching the edge of the couch.
"Wake up, wake up, I was scared to death!"
When Shen Jiasui looked up, he saw Princess Huaizhen rushing towards him, crying and laughing, as if she had become a different person.
