This is Zhu Houzhao's habit,

Either I won't fight you, or I'll fight you to death.

Especially when you meet someone like Li Guang, if you act softly and slowly with him, you may get bitten back at any time.

Changqing was originally planning to write a letter and asked several foreign ministers to prepare it, and then submit the memorial.

As a result, something like this happened,

Others were also confused.

Yuxiu Pavilion was built at the suggestion of His Majesty Li Guang. Originally, the foreign ministers did not agree, but now it is better.

Originally, I was planning to light a fire in someone else's butt.

Now my butt is burning first.

So when Li Guang went to Qianqing Palace, he didn't care and went straight to Yuxiu Pavilion to put out the fire first! Otherwise, if a few people die or a noble person is frightened.

Then his godfather is really dead!

Fortunately, the methods and facilities for fighting fires in the palace were well-equipped. Although it was windy as evening approached, no other buildings were involved.

Later, when it was getting dark, Zhu Houzhao also returned to the Xiefang Hall of the East Palace, waiting to see the show tomorrow.

It is expected that many ministers will submit a memorial to Li Guang, and this will last for many days.

after awhile,

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong entered the palace, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the fire in Yuxiu Pavilion has stopped."

The two of them were not afraid of the coolness on the ground. They held their hands together and hit their heads firmly on the ground.

Human nature is to be strong-willed, and they cannot respect such a crown prince.

"Did anyone die?"

"No. There was only one eunuch from the imperial kitchen. When he went back to get the bucket, he ran too fast and broke his arm."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

"knew."

Liu Jin has been really quiet these days.

He turned his attention to this guy,

Although he still wears the same black gauze hat as before, the number of people has indeed reduced a lot.

There is actually nothing in this room. There is a desk next to him, a few chairs opposite the door, and a few guns standing in the past. Such an empty space suddenly made Zhu Houzhao feel that Liu Jin was so small that she almost had no sense of existence.

"Liu Jin, do you have anything to say to me?"

"This slave has only one doubt."

"explain."

"Has Your Highness ever thought that the Emperor might kill Li Guang?"

In that case, who will give them money?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered, Liu Jin was indeed more keen and smart.

"I've thought about it. But it's unlikely."

It cannot be said that it is impossible, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhou was carried out.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that Hongzhi was a monarch who was tolerant to the end, and in history, Li Guang was not ordered to die by the emperor's decree.

"Any more?"

Liu Jin answered honestly, "No more."

"Okay, it's getting late today, you all can go down."

He commanded thus,

Zhang Yong got up from the ground, stabilized the hat on his head and prepared to leave the palace, but he saw that Liu Jin had no intention of moving at all.

He had some doubts in his heart, but since the prince was in front of him, he couldn't ask too many questions.

If not, it would seem that whatever Liu Jin wants to say to the prince must go through you, Zhang Yong.

After the door of Xie Fang Hall was closed, the moonlight could not enter, and the hall became darker.

There were candles on Zhu Houzhao's desk, but the doorway where Liu Jin was kneeling was a bit dark.

"Zhang Yong has left. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"This slave must apologize to His Highness!"

"What crime?"

"This slave took it upon himself to decide and sent someone to kill Ping An."

"What did you say?!"

Zhu Houzhao was really shocked when it came to murder.

He also fought with people in his previous life, and there were some who fought hard. But at that time, everyone was in it for money, no one wanted anyone’s life! No lives were lost!

So when Liu Jin said "kill people", it still impacted his 21st century soul.

"I ordered Zhang Yong to take Ping An out of the palace! You were also present at that time, why did you take it upon yourself to kill Ping An?!"

Liu Jin was not as flustered and nervous as when she was first blamed.

There is some peace at the moment.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the scene when Ping An was afraid to plead with the slave in front of His Highness? How can a person with such a heart be worthy of trust once someone discovers him in the future?"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment.

He is not naive, he knows what the struggle is.

He didn't make the same choice as Liu Jin. In the final analysis, he still had the personality he retained from his previous life - he would not kill easily if he had a way to survive.

Because his own life is not in danger, even if the incident occurs and he is discovered.

What other crime could Emperor Hongzhi convict him of? Fucked his prince?

Of course, there will be a lot of trouble when this happens.

This is emotional. He is smart, but he is not a machine, he is a human being, and humans have sensibilities.

But from a rational perspective, it was difficult for Zhu Houzhao to conclude that Liu Jin's behavior was wrong or detrimental to him.

In fact, it works to his advantage.

At least some risk is eliminated.

"He can live." Zhu Houzhao gradually calmed down.

"I know that His Highness is kind-hearted. This kindness is different from that of a pitiful little animal. His Highness truly treats people like me and Ping An as a human being. I am more sensitive and can feel it. But every step of the Forbidden City can be felt. It’s dangerous, there are some things you can’t do without doing them! If Your Highness doesn’t do it, then let your servant do it! Isn’t this the responsibility of an orphan?”

After Liu Jin finished speaking, Xie Fang Palace fell into silence.

Because it was a bit dark, he couldn't see the prince's expression and face.

After a long time, a voice came out,

"You go down."

Liu Jin subconsciously wanted to say a few more words of advice, but he suddenly stopped when the words reached his mouth.

The longer he stayed with the prince, the more he understood the prince's habits, and he also developed some habits to deal with these habits. For example, at this time, he knew not to say any more.

If he apologizes but does not apologize, don’t mention it again.

The prince is thoughtful, and if he really wanted to blame him, he would not ask him to go down.

"Yes, slave, please leave."

"Call someone over here and light a few more candles."

Liu Jin looked back and bowed, "Yes."

Zhu Houzhao is not a hypocritical person.

He knew very well that his hands would be stained with blood one day, sooner or later.

I just didn’t expect it to be safe.

After all, he is an innocent person.

If it was a foreigner, or someone with serious sins, such as Li Guang, he would be more accepting of it.

Now, it's more or less unpleasant.

This Liu Jin is really not an ordinary person. There is always a reason for those who can leave their names in history.

After a while, the palace maid who lit candles came to the palace, and Qiuyun also came with her. She didn't understand why she lit more candles and opened the windows when it was clearly time to go to bed. It was winter now.

"Your Highness, it's cold at night. Could you please close the window?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to stop him, "With the windows closed, this room is just a big box. It's very stuffy. I don't like it. Also, I'll go to bed later today. Maybe there will be guests later."

In the final analysis, Ping An is not an enemy or a sinner. To a certain extent, he is one of our own.

I can't say I'm sad about his death. After all, I don't have much emotion, but I won't be hypocritically happy, even if he clearly understands that a peaceful death is indeed beneficial to him.

This is an indescribable feeling, or perhaps there are only a few things that can be explained clearly in this world.

He was just thinking about the undead tonight. Someone should be willing to send him on his last journey. Otherwise, the world would really be like hell.
