He dreamed that he sat alone at the banquet for a long time, and then planned to go out to breathe. As soon as he got up, a palace maid called him to the apse. The facial features of the palace maid were clearly Aunt Diancui, whom he was familiar with, but her expression was unfamiliar.

Looking at him with cold disgust, just staring at him makes him uncomfortable.

Jun Huailang pretended not to know, and waited for an order from Concubine Shu.

"Take Linghuan out to get some air." She said lightly without raising her eyes.

However, he saw Jun Linghuan following him obediently and walked out with him.

…What’s the matter, how do you live with yourself like this?

It wasn't until he walked out of the hall that Jun Linghuan raised his head.

Fine. Those eyes were clean and clear, without the disgust and scrutiny that made Jun Huailang suffocate.

"Thank you brother!" she laughed.

This tone was a bit unfamiliar to Jun Huailang, and there was a vague prefix in front of the word "brother", which Jun Huailang couldn't understand.

After that, he forcibly suppressed the weirdness in his heart and took his sister to play. My sister went to the Imperial Garden first, and then went to the Plum Blossom Forest to see the lights. The lamp in the middle of the plum blossom forest was the most beautiful. Jun Huailang couldn't help but went to pick it off for Jun Linghuan.

In the dream, he was as light as a swallow, shuttled through the narrow path of the plum blossom forest, flew over the Taihu stone in the middle of the water, and took off the palace lantern.

But when he came back, Jun Linghuan was gone.

He was in a hurry, and immediately went to find Jun Linghuan. But immediately, he was held down by a group of people and knelt on the cold bluestone outside the imperial garden. The reprimands from around him made his ears buzz, but he was speechless.

"What are you arresting me for, why don't you find someone first?" Jun Huailang said anxiously.

But none of the eunuchs and guards around him paid any attention to him.

Afterwards, he was dragged into the splendid hall. Everyone was standing, but he was kneeling.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to find Ling Huan first!" He said anxiously when he saw the Qing Ping Emperor. "Ling Huan never walks around, I'm afraid something will happen!"

But Emperor Qingping was furious at him as if he hadn't heard him, and that appearance made Jun Huailang feel particularly unfamiliar. All around, all the familiar people have different expressions, but the eyes looking at him are unfamiliar, disgusting and cold.

Fortunately, Jun Linghuan was found soon after.

Jun Huailang was worried and looked at her eagerly, but met Jun Linghuan's frightened and frightened eyes, as if she saw some monster.

After even meeting Jun Huailang's eyes, Jun Linghuan trembled and hid in the arms of the man behind her.

After that, everyone's accusing gazes and the emperor's order to punish him severely were all blurred in the humming of his brain. He looked at every familiar but terrifying face, chilling all over, wrapped in a suffocating pain.

He looked around at a loss, eagerly looking for something, but couldn't find anything. Usually, his dreams wake up here.

Jun Huailang suddenly recovered and looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan didn't look at him, but the scene in front of him made Jun Huailang extremely familiar. It was clearly the same scene, but in a dream, he knelt in Xue Yan's place.

Could it be that Jun Linghuan would run into the cold palace alone when Xue Yan went to fetch the palace lantern, and start to fear Xue Yan inexplicably? The experience in his dream is what happened to Xue Yan today?

Then...there's clearly someone else doing something.

So in the past life, Xue Yan and her sister, it was clearly because of that person that there was a misunderstanding.

At this moment, Jin Wuwei had already received the emperor's order and stepped forward to pull Xue Yan up and take him out for torture.

Jun Huailang couldn't care less, stepped forward in two steps, and blocked in front of Xue Yan.

"Hold on," he said.

Jin Wuwei didn't expect that His Royal Highness had the courage to resist the decree, or when the emperor was angry, he looked at each other for a while and stopped in place.

Jun Huailang glanced at Xue Yan, and then met Xue Yan's raised eyes.

The color was light, with a coolness and indifference as black as ink, and his eyes fell on the emperor in the hall. Although it wasn't aimed at Jun Huailang, Jun Huailang's back shivered from the cold.

He suddenly thought that what Xue Yan was going through in his dream was what Xue Yan was going through at this time.

Jun Huailang moved, blocking Xue Yan's eyes, standing between him and Emperor Qing Ping, blocking him behind.

"Please calm down your anger." Jun Huailang said. "Ling Huan was frightened, and he has not yet stated the reason. Please ask Your Majesty to make a decision after a thorough investigation."

The queen glanced at the angry emperor, and then at the friend who was wiping tears beside her, and reminded Jun Huailang with some reproach: "Huailang, don't lie."

The Qing Ping Emperor suppressed his anger and asked: "Don't I have a clear inspection? The whole palace is full, Ling Huan is the only one who is afraid of him, and he took him out and lost it, I still need to investigate what?"

Jun Huailang took a deep breath and replied calmly: "It is true that the Fifth Highness and the two brothers and sisters have never had a festival, so the minister thinks this is a bit strange."

Fortunately, he was an official for several years in his previous life, and he was able to answer fluently in the Golden Temple, and was able to withstand the anger of Emperor Qingping at this time.

The Qing Ping Emperor frowned, but it was not easy to attack. After a while, he reluctantly said, "Then go ask."

Jun Huailang got up.

When he turned and walked back, he met Xue Yan's eyes again. That expression seemed to have never recovered, and there were emotions that Jun Huailang could not see clearly, like a turbulent vortex under the sea.

Those eyes only looked at him fixedly.

Jun Huailang just glanced at him before turning away. He walked straight to Jun Xiaowu and reached out to take Jun Linghuan in his arms.

"Ling Huan told brother, what happened just now?" Jun Huailang knelt on one knee on the ground, took Jun Linghuan in his arms, followed her back with one hand, and asked softly .

He deliberately turned Jun Linghuan's back to Xue Yan, and his expression at this time fell into Xue Yan's eyes.

Jun Linghuan rubbed his eyes, choked for a long time, and then whispered, "You want to eat people."

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment: "Who are you eating?"

Jun Linghuan hid in his arms, and then stammered: "They said... Brother Fifth Prince, he wants to eat people. So he took Huan'er to hide where he couldn't find it. Wherever they went... but they all left, only Huan'er stayed there."

Speaking of this, Jun Linghuan's voice was filled with crying again, and she choked up.

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, then she understood what she meant. Hearing the little girl whimpering like a milk cat, he hurriedly leaned over and held her in his arms again.

Besides the heartache, Jun Huailang was a little scared by the truth he found.

In the past life, this incident happened, and Xue Yan also received the "deserved" punishment because of Jun Linghuan's identification. From then on, Jun Linghuan would definitely avoid him like a snake. After all, a six-year-old girl was the best thing to scare.

...So, Xue Yan's words in the book have an explanation.

It turned out that Jun Linghuan was deceived by the "they" she called, and thus made a grudge against the young Xue Yan? And in the long years that followed, Jun Linghuan was humiliated by Xue Yan inexplicably, and it was also because of these people's reckless jokes?

Jun Huailang was terrified, his lips were tightly pursed, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

The people in the hall also heard what Jun Linghuan said. For a time, everyone looked different, and even the emperor's anger froze on their faces.

Jun Xiaowu reacted and suddenly became furious. He ignored the etiquette of the ruler and ministers, and asked, "Ling Huan, who is the one who scare you with nonsense? Tell the second brother, the second brother will beat him up so that he can't get out of bed for three days!"

Jun Huailang quickly raised his eyes to stop him, lest the furious Jun Xiaowu scare his sister again.

Jun Linghuan's choked voice became a little heavier. Jun Xiaowu squatted down quickly, followed her hair with one hand, slowed down his voice, and asked, "Ling Huan, tell second brother, who said it?"

Jun Linghuan sobbed and thought for a while.

"Brother Enze," she said. "And the second prince brother. ... The rest, Ling Huan doesn't recognize it."

Jun Huailang raised his head and looked at Emperor Qingping in the hall.

The Qing Ping Emperor naturally heard Jun Linghuan's words. He never thought that this matter was also related to his other princes, and when he heard what the second prince said about "cannibalism", he became even more embarrassed, and said angrily: "If no one is here, hurry up and bring the two of them to me. Come in front!"

Lingfu hurriedly received the order, ran out quickly, and instructed the little **** to find the person.

In a short while, the two were brought.

Jun Huailang saw that Xue Yunsu was still calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that the calm was all fake. And Jun Enze, who was behind him, shrank his shoulders long ago, and his legs were trembling when he walked.

I raised a white-eyed wolf. Jun Huailang thought coldly.

When the two of them came in, they knelt down in front of Emperor Qingping and heard Emperor Qingping ask: "Second child, is it you who brought the eldest lady of the Jun family to the cold palace?"

Xue Yunsu was angry at this moment.

Who knew bringing a little girl could be such a hassle? I can't walk fast, and I'm not brave enough to carry it with me, it's obviously a burden.

He was just showing off to a few noble families that he dared to take them to that haunted cold palace. Several noble families were very excited, so he also came forward and led them away. And this little girl was led all the way by them, and after a few words of intimidation, she was too frightened to leave.

But sending her back at this time is too much trouble. What's more, he took this child away just to cause trouble for Xue Yan, where is there any reason to send it back?

I had to take it with me.

When they arrived at the cold palace, several people were even more excited because of the gloomy atmosphere inside, so someone suggested to take a look inside the palace. But this little girl is timid and slow, and everyone who follows her is a drag, so no one wants to take her.

Xue Yunsu was naturally unwilling. He simply made an excuse and placed Jun Linghuan in a corner building at will. In order to prevent her from running around, Xue Yunsu also frightened her, saying that if she left casually, she would be caught by Xue Yan who turned into a wolf. It was late at night, and it was time for him to eat people.

Who would have thought that when a few people started playing, they all forgot about that little burden. By the time they remembered that there was another Jun Linghuan, the story of Jun Linghuan's disappearance had already spread throughout the palace.

Fortunately, they were a noisy group of people, and no one noticed that they brought an extra little girl. What's more, the Leng Palace was unattended with a radius of more than ten meters, and no one knew that they had brought Jun Linghuan to the Leng Palace.

So, when Xue Yunsu heard the news of Jun Linghuan's disappearance, the first thing that came to her mind was to warn those who went with him.

"You should be tight-lipped," he said. "None of us have been to the Cold Palace today, remember?"

She was frightened there, and there was no danger to her life. Instead, it allowed her to learn a lesson and have pity on that evil star in the future.

And that group of young masters had already made trouble, and no one dared to take responsibility. Now the leading second prince has kept them silent, so naturally they didn't say anything.

However, that little girl learned to sue by herself?

Hearing the emperor's questioning, Xue Yunsu paused, then calmly said: "Father, I have never been to the cold palace, and I have not seen Sister Ling Huan after today's banquet."

Speaking of this, he looked around in a feigned puzzlement and asked, "What happened? Did Sister Ling Huan admit the wrong person?"

His acting skills are quite poor, and at first glance he can tell that he is lying. Emperor Qingping showed a displeased look, glanced at Jun Enze beside him, and asked, "The second prince really hasn't been to the cold palace today?"

Although Jun Enze was reminded by Xue Yunsu long ago, he was not so bold when he came to the emperor. He knelt there, his legs kept shaking, and he just kept shaking his head, not knowing.

The Qing Ping Emperor naturally would not fail to see through the deceitful words of this child. On the contrary, the two lied to him unanimously, which made him even more annoyed.

"Not only do you not know what's wrong, but you want to hide it?"

At this moment, Zhang Guiren, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't sit still.

Seeing that her son had caused such a big disaster, and the emperor did not believe him, Zhang Guiren got up quickly and hurriedly knelt down in front of Emperor Qingping.

"Your Majesty, Su'er has always been a good boy and will never lie to you! Please also ask your Majesty to investigate!"

The Qing Ping Emperor angrily said: "He is acting like this, isn't he lying to me?"

Zhang Guiren hurriedly said: "This child is timid and kind-hearted, he must have been frightened and disrespected in front of the emperor! Besides, the young lady of Yongning's public family was lost by the fifth prince. , how can you blame Su'er..."

At this moment, a clear voice interrupted her.

"Niangniang." Jun Huailang said. "If the Second Highness made a mistake, you lied to His Majesty on his behalf, but it is a crime of deceiving the king."

Zhang Guiren turned around and saw Jun Huailang looking at him coldly.

"How can you speak here!" Zhang Guiren said angrily. "Huangkou child, what do you know!"

Jun Huailang just looked at her.

His dark and deep eyes have always been cold and soft, like a hidden fairy outside the world. But at this moment, these eyes are extremely sharp, and under the questioning of the other party, the momentum overwhelms the other party, and there is no fear.

Jun Huailang looked at the people in the hall who were talking nonsense with their eyes open, and a raging anger ignited in his heart.

Do they know fear? Then when you do something like this, why don't you know you're afraid?

Throwing such a small **** the abandoned turret, without the slightest bit of fear, blamed Xue Yan with confidence. How come when it comes time for them to admit what they've done, they start to get scared?

In the past life, the sins Jun Linghuan suffered because of them were thousands of times more terrifying than this.

The more angry, the clearer Jun Huailang's thoughts became. His eyes swept over these people, and there was a sarcastic smile in his eyes.

“Second Highness, before the next quibble, you might as well tidy up your clothes first, so as not to show your troubles,” he said.

Xue Yunsu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his robe.

Jun Huailang continued: "The corner tower of Lenggong is in disrepair, the stairs are thick with dust, and the mahogany handrails are decayed. The stairs are extremely narrow, when we went to find Ling Huan, even if The martial arts are as powerful as Xiaowu, and there are shards of dead wood on your body, not to mention you, Second Highness."

a breakage. The lights were dim at night, and it was still hard to see outside, but the apse of Yongle Palace was brightly lit, and the traces of his body immediately disappeared.

Xue Yunsu panicked immediately, Jun Enze was so frightened that he fell to the ground and sobbed softly.

"This... this doesn't mean anything! Maybe Su'er is naughty and bumped outside, I don't know..." Zhang Guiren still didn't give up.

"Shut up!" Emperor Qing Ping interrupted her.

Emperor Qing Ping only felt that his face was completely lost, and his anger was also raised.

Zhang Guiren didn't dare to speak.

The Qing Ping Emperor took a few breaths and then ordered: "Take the second prince down, think about it behind closed doors for a month, and copy the Taizu's family instructions a hundred times. Even his mother is not allowed to visit! This kid from the Jun family is not allowed to be the prince's companion any more, so he will be sent back to his biological father for rearing!

"

Needles could be heard throughout the apse, and everyone was silent. When Zhang Guiren heard this, he immediately fainted.

Jun Huailang was a little stunned when he heard his imperial decree.

When Xue Yan was the culprit just now, it was clear that he was going to be beaten and kneel in the hall. And when it was the second prince's turn, he just grounded his feet lightly and copied his ancestors' instructions.

These aristocrats were all punished severely. Not to mention Jun Enze, who was about to be expelled from the capital, only that those sons of aristocratic families were directly punished by their father and brother. Not only did the male family lose face in the court, but he also had to get a good punishment when he returned home.

In the end, punishing them heavily is also because they "brought bad" the second prince. The second prince, Emperor Qingping, was still his own flesh and blood. Although they are princes and ministers on the surface, they are still father and son in their bones.

And Xue Yan…

Tang still has to kneel, just kneel until dawn tomorrow."

The Emperor Qing Ping continued.

After he finished cooking the crowd, he saw Xue Yan kneeling like a nail in the hall.

Everyone was fined, but he seemed innocent. This made Emperor Qingping feel uncomfortable, as if he had wronged him and taught him to kneel here for a while.

Then Qingping Emperor spoke lightly, put a charge on him, and found a step for himself.

Anyway, he was fined a lot more, and it wasn't just once or twice this time.
