Qin Jun's brows relaxed.
It was better to die than run away.
After all, he was the one who invited Li Yunzhao over.
Now, he could only hope that the Fourth Prince would not cause trouble after returning to the Royal City.
"Men," Qin Jun shouted.
A guard walked into the courtyard.
"Prince!"
"Clean up."
The guard glanced at the corpse on the ground and dragged it away without a second thought.
Li Yunzhao slowly rose to his feet and looked at the newly risen moon. The crescent moon was like a crescent blade.
It was getting late.
He had to get back.
He had been out long enough. If he still didn't return and the Empress Dowager summoned him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Old mister, I'll come again tomorrow … Farewell," Li Yunzhao said.
Lu Zhou did not say anything nor did he order anyone to stop him. He watched as Yu Shangrong left the Prince of Qi Mansion.
The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, seemed a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I … should I leave as well?"
Looking at his cheeky face.
Lu Zhou remembered Jiang Aijian and said, "You're similar to him."
He wanted to add, 'As expected of a father,' but when he considered Jiang Aijian's status, he decided against it.
"Him?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about him."
They had lost contact with Jiang Aijian for a long time. The last time he contacted him was Mingshi Yin.
Lu Zhou had personally come to the Divine Capital. Jiang Aijian was a prince, after all. He did not want to get involved with the people within the palace. He reckoned he would not come to the Divine Capital.
Lu Zhou returned to the great hall with his hands on his back.
Liu Bing followed him in.
Little Yuan 'er was puzzled and asked, "It's already dark. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Leave?"
"Doesn't my master need to sleep?" Little Yuan 'er felt that the man in front of her was a little silly.
Liu Bing smiled. He cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and said, "Old mister … In any case, I really want to make more friends. Don't be in a rush to make a decision. It's always good to have another friend. We'll meet again in the future. "
Lu Zhou did not stop him.
He didn't want to meddle with the various forces in the palace … Liu Bing had just returned from the border, and his foundation wasn't stable. Many people were watching him.
This could be seen from the fact that he had become a little eunuch.
Little Yuan 'er scratched her head and said, "Master, is he threatening us? Should we catch him? "
"There's no need," Lu Zhou said.
"Oh."
Little Yuan 'er returned to Zhao Yue's side and glanced at her senior sister. When she recalled her senior sister's tragic experience, she sighed and said, "Senior Sister, now that I think about it, I'm much happier than you."
“？？？”
Lu Zhou knew she was trying to comfort him. At the same time, she was trying to say that she did not know how to appreciate her blessings. However, it sounded strange.
…
In the courtyard.
Many servants rushed in to tidy up.
The son of the Prince of Qi, Qin Jun, stretched his back and walked over, saying, "Father, the guests haven't left yet?"
"Don't wander around. Go back," Qin Jun.
"Who is he?"
Qin Jun turned around to look at the hall, then at the damaged wall. He said, "The place your sister always talks about …"
"…"
Qin Shuo stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
Qin Jun couldn't be bothered to explain. He turned to a nearby servant and ordered, "Help him back … How is he going to inherit the family business if he's such a coward?"
"Yes."
After tidying up the courtyard.
Qin Jun and the butler, Old Hong, entered the hall.
"Old mister … I really didn't know that His Highness, the Fourth Prince, would be here. Please forgive me, old mister," Qin Jun said.
"You don't know him?"
"Ah …" Qin Jun sighed. "The Fourth Prince has been stationed at the borders for many years. He was young when he left, and he returned as a middle-aged man. His appearance has changed greatly. Moreover, he's dressed like this. I didn't recognize him."
"Stationed at the borders …" Lu Zhou muttered, "Since he's stationed at the borders, why would he form cliques like the other princes?"
In Lu Zhou's past life, the people stationed at the borders should not be involved in such matters.
Qin Jun said, "He's just trying to protect himself … It won't be long before the Fourth Prince's military authority is taken away. At that time, he'll be isolated and helpless. He has no intention of harming others, but others do. "
At this point, Old Hong sighed.
Old Hong sighed as well.
"Forget it."
Lu Zhou stood up with his hands on his back. "You've done well … I've always been able to distinguish between gratitude and grudges. Tell me, what do you want? "
Qin Jun hastily waved his hands and said, "I dare not! I'm not like those greedy people in the cultivation world. I won't covet what belongs to the Evil Sky Pavilion. "
Lu Zhou shook his head.
He turned around and left.
Little Yuan 'er and Zhao Yue left together.
…
Meanwhile.
Mingshi Yin imprisoned Lu Qiuping in the Evil Sky Pavilion's northern pavilion.
Then, he summoned Pan Zhong and sealed Lu Qiuping's cultivation base before he returned to rest.
Early the next morning, he left the Evil Sky Pavilion and flew toward the Divine Capital.
Halfway through his journey, he suddenly remembered something. 'Where's master? How am I supposed to find him? '
…
In the afternoon. The Prince of Qi Mansion.
It was almost time for the appointed meeting.
The old butler, Hong Fu, knew that Eunuch Li would be here today. He waited at the entrance early in the morning. He would look up from time to time and even ran to the intersection to wait.
When the sun was about to set in the west, a familiar carriage finally appeared in sight.
Hong Fu was overjoyed. He waved at the people around him. "Tell the master that he's here."
"Understood, I'll go right away."
The carriage arrived in front of Hong Fu.
The curtains were drawn. Li Yunzhao, who had a head of white hair and an unpleasant expression, alighted from the carriage.
"Eunuch Li." The butler hastily helped him up.
Li Yunzhao alighted from the carriage. He looked up at the Prince of Qi Mansion and said with a sigh, "I keep my promise … I hope he keeps his as well."
"Please." Hong Fu did not dare to speak on Lu Zhou's behalf. After all, Li Yunzhao was already here. It was up to them to deal with this.
The heavens would decide one's fate.
Li Yunzhao produced a brocade box and followed Hong Fu into the Prince of Qi Mansion.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hall.
When Li Yunzhao saw Lu Zhou's composure, he did not dare to be careless. He walked up to Lu Zhou respectfully. He presented the brocade box with both hands and said, "This is the Wordless Heavenly Scroll that I mentioned yesterday."
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the brocade box.
"Do you know what this is used for?"
If it was trash, how could they have kept it until now?
Li Yunzhao said, "Come to think of it, it's strange. The Empress Dowager has always been ill and in constant pain. She occasionally used this as a pillow. In less than a month, her illness was gone. I'm sure this isn't a 'book' meant for people to read. It must be some kind of ancient jade that contains power. "
"You're quite good at guessing." Lu Zhou did not expose Li Yunzhao.
He accepted the brocade box.
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve.
The lid of the brocade box was flipped open with a bang.
"Ding! Obtained a remnant of the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll."
As expected, it was a remnant of the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll.
"You're missing one?" When Lu Zhou saw the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll, he frowned slightly.
Li Yunzhao was startled. He hastily explained, "I have no intention of keeping it for myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until today. After so many years, I've had thousands of chances. "
