Jun raised his head and said with a smile on his face, "Chu Siye, why do you ask even though you already know?"
Yesterday, I spied on Changsun Wuji in the car, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor. Even Li Ji and others were left in Pingkangfang and never showed up. Naturally, this kind of thing could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of all the people in the city, especially Chu Suiliang. How could such spies placed by the Guanlong nobles in the academy not know the reason?
It is impossible to say that Chu Suiliang came to the academy so early today with the mission of testing his own tone...
Chu Suiliang was a little embarrassed and forced a smile and said: "A certain person has been busy with the affairs of the academy all day long and leaves early and returns late every day. He really doesn't know what is going on in the city."
Fang Jun put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "Chu Siye is willing to be the pawn of some people, how can some people not inform their own hawks and lackeys? We colleagues are officials and have never had any life-or-death grudges, so I would like to give you a friendly reminder. Well, sometimes don't take the road too far, otherwise it will be difficult to keep your footing when you find a pit ahead. Only virtue can move the sky, and it will reach no farther. If the body is not upright and the heart is not upright, sooner or later, your reputation will be ruined and your descendants will be ruined."
After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving behind Chu Suiliang, whose face was red and white, and he wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry.
Regardless of whether history develops according to its original trajectory, or whether his destiny is changed by himself, it will be difficult for Chu Suiliang, as a lackey of Guanlong, to get a good ending.
Guan Long was successful. As a close confidant of His Majesty Li Er, Chu Suiliang would be thrown out to bear some crimes that Guan Long was absolutely unwilling to bear.
If Guan Long fails, Chu Suiliang will be unlucky enough to be operated on by His Majesty Li Er or the Crown Prince.
Speaking of which, although His Majesty Li Er knew that Chu Suiliang was unclear about the Guanlong nobles, he still cherished his talents and placed them in the academy, hoping that he could follow Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong in the path of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. On the road, stop charging into battle for the Guanlong nobles.
But obviously Chu Suiliang still didn't realize that as long as he continued to seek refuge with the Guanlong nobles, his future would be bleak...
*****
The melodious bells on the top of the mountain rang, and it was time for class.
Students gathered from all over the academy into the lecture hall, where a lecturer stood in front of the stage and gave lectures in a rhythmic manner.
Fang Jun returned to the duty room and tidied up a little, changed into a set of green trousers, went out and asked the soldiers to hitch up the carriage, then boarded the carriage, and surrounded by fully armed soldiers, he left the mountain gate and walked straight along the road. To the south, it goes straight into the Zhongnan Mountains.
The farmland on both sides of the road is golden, and the sun is shining with bright yellow light just after it appears. It should be a good autumn weather. As long as this weather lasts for a few days, the moisture on the rice ears can be dried, and large-scale planting can begin. autumn harvest.
From time to time, officials from various places would ride horses by the roadside and turn directly into the fields to check the quality of the grain, waiting for the moment of harvest.
A group of people entered the mountainous area and drove along the mountain road into the deep and dense forest. The leaves of the trees on both sides had been dyed a light yellow, and a faint white mist rose from the valley, lingering on the mountainside. , there is heavy dew in the mountains, and the dew is dripping between the dense branches and leaves. There are birds fluttering their wings and hovering above the trees, chirping, just like a paradise.
The carriage went along the mountain road among the trees and rounded a mountain. There was a rumble from one side, and a stream flowed down from the mountainside in the distance, dancing like a jade belt, gathering in the valley on the roadside. It formed a river, rushing and roaring at the narrow bottom of the valley, hitting the rock walls on both sides with a roaring sound, and rushing downstream.
Not far away, a Taoist temple was hidden among the trees.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Taoist Temple, the soldiers dismounted and dispersed left and right. Several people even sneaked into the woods to search for possible assassins. The guards were tight.
It wasn't until the soldiers around him gave a signal to confirm that it was safe that Fang Jun got off the carriage, straightened his clothes and came to the mountain gate.
The Taoist priest in the Taoist temple had already heard the sound and opened the mountain door. When he saw Fang Jun in front of the door, he was slightly startled. He quickly gathered his clothes and saluted, and said, "I have seen Fang Jun!"
They are all servants of the palace...
Fang Jun nodded slightly and said, "Can His Highness Changle be in the temple?"
The chamberlain replied: "His Royal Highness is here. Please wait a moment, Prince Consort, when the slaves come in to report."
Fang Jun put his hands behind the door and said, "Go back quickly."
"Here!"
The chamberlain hurriedly walked into the inner hall, and ran back after a while, bowing and saying: "Your Highness, please invite the prince-in-law to come in!"
Fang Junshi raised his feet and stepped into the mountain gate.
A light mist lingers in the Taoist temple, the mountains are heavy with dew, and the bluestone slabs under your feet are wet. The air is filled with a moist and cool atmosphere. Between the pillars, there is a sense of indifference and tranquility away from the worldly world.
The chamberlain led Fang Jun to the door of an alchemy room, and two other female Taoist priests in Taoist robes came forward, bowed their skirts, and said softly: "Your Highness is waiting in the room. Please come in and meet me."
Fang Jun nodded and entered the room.
The furnishings in the room are still as simple as the last time I came here. The floor is clean and bright, and the bronze beast stove in the corner is burning sandalwood, and the green smoke is swirling up, making people feel relaxed and happy. The window was open, and the cool air from outside flowed in. Princess Changle, dressed in a Taoist robe, was sitting on her knees in front of the coffee table in front of the window, bending her head to tinker with a red clay stove.
The loose Taoist robe is worn on the thin body, making the shoulders look sharper than a knife. The crow-like hair is tied into a bun common among Taoist priests and fixed with a wooden hairpin, revealing a slender section of snow-white pink hair. Neck, the exquisite and slender figure was sitting there kneeling, the flames rising in the small red clay stove were swaying, reflecting a beautiful face with a red light, adding a bit of elegance.
Fang Jun stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "I have met His Highness Changle."
Princess Changle straightened up, her eyes flickered on Fang Jun's face and body, and then she frowned slightly and said in surprise: "No need to be polite...what's the injury on the forehead?"
Fang Jun sighed and said, "It's a long story, but Wei Chen came here today precisely for this matter."
These words made Princess Changle a little puzzled...
Fang Jun's temper has always been arrogant and domineering. If anyone offends him, he will definitely make amends on the spot. Regardless of the other person's identity, he will never bow his head. Even if he had a conflict with Changsun Wuji, he would still fight hard and would never go home and cry to Fang Xuanling, begging his father to come forward to regain the situation.
He was beaten and injured today, but he came to his side. Shouldn't he let himself stand up for him?
Crazy, this is...
Princess Changle pursed her lips, glanced at Fang Jun and said nothing. Instead, she said to the maid beside her: "Bring me the tea leaves from this palace."
"Here!"
The maid stood up, took a porcelain jar from the wooden shelf on one side of the wall, opened the lid, took some tea leaves with a teaspoon and put it into the teapot, then closed the lid and put the porcelain jar back to its original place. Then he returned to Princess Changle, scooped a ladle of mountain spring water from the water tank in the corner, poured it into the kettle, put the kettle on the stove, then obediently took a few steps back, knelt down by the wall, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. , without saying a word.
Princess Changle took a small cattail leaf fan placed on the coffee table and gently fanned the wind at the mouth of the stove. Her pretty face was calm and she said softly: "I, you shouldn't come here often. After all, there are always rumors outside. If it doesn’t stop, don’t tell people the truth anymore.”
Fang Jun came forward, knelt down in front of him, and said helplessly: "It's just that I don't care about His Highness's good reputation, and stalk him without knowing how to move forward or retreat. Although I haven't seen him for one day, I don't dare to disturb His Highness's Qing Xiu... In fact, this matter can only be mediated by His Highness, and I really have no choice but to do this."
Princess Changle blushed slightly, glared at Fang Jun slightly angrily, and said angrily: "You have something to say, you are so sweet-tongued, don't blame me for driving you out!"
Fang Jun really wanted to ask, "How did you know that I have a sweet tongue and a smooth tongue?" However, he knew that His Highness was cold-tempered, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Such teasing words must not be uttered out of his mouth. Moreover, he came here today because he really had something important to do, so he didn't dare. Thin and light.
"Your Highness has taught you that the humble minister is guilty!"
After a pause, he slowly told the story of how he entered the palace last night...
Hearing that His Majesty Li Er was interested in Yi Chu again, Princess Changle frowned and felt a little annoyed: "Father, the same is true. What on earth is going on? After just a few days of Ansheng, he has such thoughts again?"
Fang Jun sighed: "I don't know, but I always feel that His Majesty has been acting strange recently and his behavior is very different from the past. So I would like to ask His Majesty, is there anything major happening in the harem that makes His Majesty angry and unhappy? Otherwise? Your Majesty is definitely not someone who changes orders every day, and he will definitely never be tempted to change things easily."
