Quick time travel apprentice love me a few more times

Floods in the south suffered heavy losses. After the floods, plagues emerged, and the people had no food to eat, and even had no money to treat diseases. Even if the court distributed a large amount of materials and money, there was still no major effect.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Xuan of Zhou naturally pointed the finger of vent at the prince who was in charge of flood control.After being furious in the court hall, he called him into the imperial study room and stayed until evening before releasing the prince out of the imperial study room door.

The disaster relief money distributed by the court is a huge amount, which is enough to deal with the famine of this scale.The distribution of large amounts of money has no effect, so the higher authorities will naturally have to investigate.

When it comes to money, there is always the word "greedy" next to it.

If you don't check, you don't know. After some investigation, Emperor Xuan of Zhou really dug up a corruption line, which is intertwined and inseparable from the prince.

The money for disaster relief is like this, but what about the dams that caused the disaster?Is it also related to the prince?

The court said so much, but did not reveal the evidence that pointed to the prince, but only criticized him for a while.Emperor Zhou Xuan thought that he had given the prince enough face, and asked him to come to the imperial study for a private conversation, but in the end, Emperor Zhou Xuan was completely disappointed.

The other party had a cold face, his voice was respectful, and he didn't see any rebuttal.For each crime is the default attitude.

It is obviously to give Tianda's face to ask the crime in private, but it has become Emperor Zhou Xuan who speaks alone?

This 'unfamiliar relationship' appearance made the emperor Longyan furious, and finally directly overturned the table in the imperial study.

It was not enough that the scrolls were all over the floor. Emperor Xuan of Zhou grabbed the teacup from the hand of the chief eunuch beside him, and threw it at the prince who was kneeling in the middle of the imperial study room and listening to his instruction.

The hot water was splashed all over, and the face was cut by the sharp edge of the cup, and blood flowed out.Even so, His Royal Highness was still stingy with words, and was kicked out by Emperor Zhou Xuan later.

As soon as he exited to the door of the study, His Royal Highness heard the emperor Zhou Xuan conveying his will to the old eunuch beside him.Since people who want to 'cover up' for a while don't have a good face, why bother?

Emperor Zhou Xuan immediately announced the news about the prince's bribery and corruption.

The debate in the courtroom is really fierce like never before.The Prince's faction was naturally thinking of a way to excuse him, while the Fourth Prince's faction was of course trying their best to discredit him.As for those who did not stand in the queue of the two, of course they enjoyed watching the excitement.

During this period, Emperor Zhou Xuan's balance seemed to be slowly tilting towards the fourth prince.

Originally, a lot of the powers of the prince were distributed, and those that were distributed, as much as eighth, fell on the fourth prince.Compared with the active fourth prince, the prince was completely silent.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero", this sentence is perfect for the ever-changing court.

In just one month, the Prince's East Palace, which was sparsely populated in the past, has become even more deserted.

The prince grew up within the walls, facing the ever-changing environment of the palace, as well as the ferocious and fickle faces, he has long been familiar with it.

But when everyone was looking for reasons to avoid him, there was Luo Jin who came to eat as usual in the name of teaching reading by his side.This situation made him dumbfounded, not knowing how to deal with it.

……

======

"Teacher Luo made this appearance, who is it for? Is it to show his loyalty to the emperor? It's not bad, but the time and effort are in the wrong place."

On this day, there were no outsiders in the East Palace study.His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Luo Jin sideways, and asked in a bad tone.

The servants of the Eastern Palace have a very strict manner of speaking, knowing how to survive in the palace, what not to say, and don't worry about what will be spread out.

"If that's the case, Tai Tu just don't worry. Sometimes you abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and change to a bright master with a future. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the emperor will not miss you."

After the incident happened, Luo Jin surrounded the prince as usual, and the people surrounded couldn't help asking questions.

One month has passed, nothing else has changed, the number of guards in the East Palace has doubled.The power that was originally held in his hands was indeed taken back by Emperor Zhou Xuan, and most of it went to the fourth prince.

So what if you spent a year with Luo Jin?

In the final analysis, the two of them were only connected by a few meals, and did not have too much in-depth conversation.The prince can't believe the loyalty he yells out loudly, and there are only a handful of loyal courtiers under his command who he truly trusts.

Even if he knew the conversation between Chen Guangyao and Luo Jin before, so what?

One month is not short for the ever-changing court.Even if Luo Jin didn't leave his side, the prince didn't have much trust in him.

Before, the prince's inexplicable affection for Luo Jin did not have a positive effect, but instead made him feel that the other party's motives for staying by his side were suspicious.

……

"Your Highness is worrying too much. This is just my duty." Looking at the prince, Luo Jin responded respectfully, and did not make much excuses for the scrutinizing gaze.

——Nonsense, how can I seduce you if I don't stay by your side?

Although it seems that staying by my side will not make any progress.

"Oh? In fact, compared to Gu, the current Tai Tuo wants to go to the side of the Fourth Emperor. In just a few days, he took seven points of power from Gu, and his future achievements will be even more immeasurable. This East Palace is not impossible."

Hearing this, Luo Jin's movements were obviously paused, and the crown prince sneered, as if he had discovered some great secret: "I have spent a year with the Taifu, and I will not be stingy in meeting Lord Luo's request, As long as Master Luo brings it up."

The dark pupils stared straight at Luo Jin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was elusive.The prince didn't know what he was blatantly saying to confirm, anyway, the pause of Luo Jin's movements made him unhappy.

Seeing that Luo Jin didn't switch camps like the others, he felt uncomfortable, and always felt that the other party had ulterior motives and wanted Luo Jin to leave quickly; however, if Luo Jin really chose to leave at this time, if he made a comeback in the future, he would not make the other party feel better .

"What does His Highness mean?"

"Naturally, at the moment, although Gu has no power, he is still the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he will do what he says."

Habits are really scary. After hearing Luo Jin's words and seeing his loose expression, the prince's heart sank.

"Since this is the case, I hope that Your Highness will cheer up and assist the Holy Majesty in thoroughly investigating the loss of funds owed by the disaster relief to prove his innocence."

"Oh, what a grand-sounding request."

The two stood and looked at each other, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

"Why did Your Highness drive this minister away? Or...what is Your Highness afraid of?" Seeing that the prince's expression did not improve at all, Luo Jin knew that her answer did not meet the other party's intentions.

"Your Majesty, you can swear with your life that you will not betray Your Highness."

Under the increasingly stiff atmosphere, Luo Jin said such a sentence decisively based on her feeling.I regretted it after I said it, because I was too eager for success and wanted to gain trust.Such a simple oath is the cheapest in the palace.

But when he looked up, he saw that the prince's frowning brows were relaxed again, and he sat back on the vermilion lacquered chair, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince is very satisfied with his oath?

The slight change in the other party's expression made it hard for Luo Jin not to think so.No matter how unfathomable the crown prince was, during the long meal with him, Luo Jin could probably figure out his temperament.

"At the moment, Gu has lost his power, so how to find out. Besides, the Eastern Palace costs a lot, and it is not impossible to embezzle the money. Even Shengming's father believes that Gu is the most suspected, and the Tai Tuo thinks there is no so-called evidence for Gu. , who will believe in Gu?"

Although the prince still had a straight face and a cold look, his address was changed from 'Lord Luo' to 'Master Luo'.

"I trust Your Highness."

Once again, he answered the prince's question based on his feeling, but this time it didn't work.

"Heh, Gu was in charge of the disaster relief bank before. He thought that his decision-making was correct, but the account books did not match the reality. No wonder the people are suffering and puzzled. The so-called 'corrupt' money did appear in Gu's account, and Gu has no way to start."

A sentence that I thought was touching enough did not have any tearful effect, but Luo Jin was stared at by the prince with the eyes of "Do you believe it is useful, it feels... very subtle.

"Your Highness really has no way to do it, or don't you want to do it?" Luo Jin coughed lightly, covering up her embarrassment: "Since this matter has nothing to do with His Highness, why didn't His Highness try to make excuses in the imperial study that day? I always thought His Highness was reticent, but Willing to give action, but this time, why didn't His Highness make preparations, but wasted time instead."

The crown prince was right, no one believed it was as important as Emperor Zhou Xuan believed it.But in fact, he didn't give Emperor Zhou Xuan a chance to believe, and kept expressing his attitude with silence.

In terms of the efficiency and ability of the prince in handling affairs before, how could he have nowhere to start? With a bad temper, it is easier to be trusted if he does not want to do anything.

But if this continues, life and future are at stake, how can he follow his temper?

"I think that the Holy Majesty expects a lot from His Highness, and His Highness shouldn't be like this..."

"Enough!" The prince interrupted Luo Jin with a loud shout, stood up and walked to Luo Jin's side to meet him.When the attendant standing at the door saw it, he immediately backed away.

Facing His Highness the Crown Prince who was approaching step by step, Luo Jin stood still and did not retreat.

"Gu, since he was sensible, he has been studying diligently. Whether it is astronomy and geography, Anbang's way of governing the country, or eighteen martial arts, he has been striving for perfection. Since accepting the position of prince, he has been working hard and dare not relax in the slightest. Gu, You have a clear conscience. But what about him? Gu’s efforts and efforts are never worthwhile. Gu never asks for a word of praise from him, but why is he unwilling to give even a sliver of trust! Gu, what did he do wrong? "

Is this the reason why the prince has not moved for a long time?

It wasn't that he was incapable of proving his innocence, but that he chose to express his innocence with his usual silence.

The prince held back those words for a long time, but Luo Jin saw Du Ruo's shadow in them.

With such a similar face, the two of them seemed to be at the same age, clamoring and questioning their parents.Luo Jin felt distressed when a taciturn person broke out in such remarks.

"Zhou Jinhao is the same age as Gu, why is he so close compared to Gu?"

The prince didn't know why he would say such words in front of this person today.There are many people who are loyal to him, and some of them have paid a lot, but he can't help but confide in Luo Jin. Is it because of being with him all the time for more than a year?

He said he didn't trust the person in front of him, but he knew in his heart that he was just afraid of betrayal.

It was the first time for Luo Jin to hear the prince call out the name of the fourth prince, looking at that face with a lonely expression, listless.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was usually aloof, seemed to have disappeared, and the one in front of him seemed to be Du Ruo, who seemed to be at odds with his father.

"So much talk, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Patting the prince's shoulder, Luo Jin seemed to comfort him: "As your Highness said, the crown prince of a country is responsible for the future of the Great Zhou, and the Holy Majesty's strict requirements are unavoidable. In the eyes of the Holy Majesty, His Highness is the future emperor and the country of the Great Zhou." Naturally, the person entrusted in the future cannot be negligent. As for the fourth prince, he is good at using words and being friendly. Although His Highness has ideas, he has never taken the initiative to express them, and this time His Highness has suffered grievances as well."

"At the court that day, the Holy Majesty did not directly mention that the matter of the silver bill was related to His Highness, but asked privately. Why did the Holy Majesty not want to trust His Highness, but the expectation of His Highness is too high, and, has His Highness given the chance to trust His Majesty?"

The prince probably didn't understand what Luo Jin said, but he just couldn't help but want to vent his emotions.

It's rare for the quiet prince to erupt once and say so many things in one breath, how could Luo Jin let go of this opportunity.Looking in front of him, the panic and anger in the prince's eyes gradually turned into calmness, disappeared, and returned to his usual deserted appearance.Luo Jin knew that he had listened to what he said.

"Your Highness is busy with affairs, but you must also learn to take care of your body."

Luo Jin reached into her sleeve pocket, took out a round box, and handed it to His Highness the Crown Prince.Nearly a month has passed, and the wound on the crown prince's face from the imperial study is still not healed.

There was an obvious wound on his handsome face, which showed no signs of healing.

The palace wound medicine is naturally impeccable, but it has to be applied every day. Looking at the increasingly ferocious wound on the prince's face, let alone applying medicine, I'm afraid it may cause secondary injury on his own.

"It's getting late, so I won't leave the Grand Tutor alone."

After a while of silence, the prince took the small round box expressionlessly and put it in his hand to play with.As for Luo Jin's words, the prince did not respond obviously.

"Yes, Your Highness will rest earlier. The minister will leave."

Seeing that the crown prince accepted the ointment, the waste of January finally came to an end, and Luo Jin felt better.Although there is no progress in the personal task, the time is still long, so I am not in a hurry.

After bowing and saluting, Luo Jin walked to the entrance of the hall, and heard the prince's voice faintly from behind - "In the future, the grand master can call Gu Jinchen."

With a pause in her footsteps, the corners of Luo Jin's mouth unconsciously showed a happy arc, she silently agreed, and left the palace without stopping.

……

The company these days is not useless at all.
