When Jun Huailang woke up again, he was no longer in the palace.

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was a blue soft silk tent. The warm sunlight came in from the window, and he turned his head to see the bedroom full of sunlight.

It was too quiet.

The edge of the window is the ebony he is familiar with, and the furnishings around it are elegant and quaint. After seeing the dazzling pile of gold and jade in Mingluan Palace, Jun Huailang's eyes were not used to it for a while.

This is his home.

Jun Huailang felt dizzy.

He closed his eyes and felt a little unreal. It seems that the last moment, he was still struggling in the Taiye Pond and almost drowned. In the chaos, it seemed that someone rescued him, he opened his eyes with great difficulty, and the person in front of him was...

It's Xue Yan.

There was a moment of clarity in Jun Huailang's mind.

At that time, he was in a trance, his body was frozen, and he felt that the scene in front of him was an illusion.

But in that hazy, indistinguishable illusion, there was something alive.

Jun Huailang involuntarily stroked the back of his hand.

The tear that fell on his hand was extremely hot, dripping on his cold skin, as if it melted immediately, but immediately pulled him back to the world.

It was Xue Yan's tears.

Jun Huailang sat up from the bed as if he was awakened.

Why did he return to his home as soon as he opened his eyes?

Only he and Xue Yan were present at the time. What if someone put the blame on Xue Yan? Xue Yan has saved his own life now, what should he do if he is convicted of this?

At this moment, the maid who was guarding outside heard the movement and hurried in to check. Seeing Jun Huailang sitting up, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and touched his forehead.

"Young master is really good!" The maid smiled. "I'm going to tell Fuyi to go back to the madam quickly! Since the young master came back, the madam and the second young master haven't slept. They just taught the slaves to persuade them, and they went to lie down for a while in the side room. "

Jun Huailang felt a little dizzy after a while. He nodded while holding his forehead, motioning for her to go out and call someone.

When I heard the voice inside, the maids waiting outside came to the spirit. When the maid went to call someone, a few came in one after another in a lively manner, and skillfully served Jun Huailang to get up and change clothes.

"How long have I slept?" Jun Huailang asked.

"Master Guo stayed in the palace to meet the emperor early in the morning, but he has not come back yet."

Jun Huailang nodded.

He looked at the busy back and forth of everyone in front of him, all of whom had served him since childhood, and their behaviors and actions were very familiar.

He should be at ease.

But his heart seemed to be suspended, which always made him a little worried.

...After all, this is the first time Xue Yan has faced such a big crisis alone since he entered the palace.

After a long time, he seems to be used to helping Xue Yan deal with danger. In his eyes, no matter how violent and vicious Xue Yan will be in the future, now he is just a teenage boy who has just returned to Chang'an, knows nothing and speaks little, facing the twists and turns of the palace. , certainly can't handle it.

What's more, the person who wanted to harm him has not yet been identified.

Jun Huailang's expression became solemn.

After a while, his mother Shen Shi and Jun Xiaowu hurried in.

Shen shi walked forward quickly, sat on the edge of Jun Huailang's bed, and reached out to touch his cheek and forehead. Seeing that his fever had subsided, and he was no longer in serious trouble, he asked, "But what else is uncomfortable?"

She is still worried.

Jun Huailang shook his head and was about to speak when he heard Jun Xiaowu speak.

He leaned on the bedpost next to him and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. The imperial doctor said that as long as the fever subsides and you sleep, everything will be gone."

Shen shi recited the Buddha: "Amitabha, thanks to that Fifth Highness."

As soon as Jun Huailang heard those three words, his heart sank, and he quickly asked, "Mother, how is your Fifth Highness?"

Shen shi wiped her tears and said, "Thanks to him. It was this Highness who rescued you, and because your high fever persisted, the imperial doctor said that you had hit an evil spirit, so he arrived. Go to the Buddhist hall, and copy the Du'er Sutra to bless you."

Jun Huailang was taken aback.

…Crash?

This is plain nonsense. I was deliberately pushed into the water, where did I hit the evil? It was clear that someone was operating it, and the person who operated it must be the one who designed him to fall into the water.

I designed him to fall into the water. Seeing that he was not dead, he used the evil spirit to frame him. The so-called "evil evil spirits" in the palace, besides Xue Yan, who else is there?

Jun Huailang opened her mouth to explain, when she heard Shen shi say: "His scriptures are really useful, but in the middle of the night, the fever that he taught you really subsided. But now, in the palace It's such a mess, no matter what, I can't let you two brothers and sisters live any longer."

Jun Huailang hurriedly asked: "Mother, I was pushed into the water, has this been found out?"

Shen shi nodded.

Not waiting for her to speak, Jun Xiaowu interjected: "Isn't that Yi Jieyu from the Xu family who was jealous of her aunt and sent someone to do it? She thought she was unknowing, but she didn't expect five His Highness remembered the appearance of her palace maid, and she forced it to be judged."

…Yi Jieyu.

This person has never appeared in Jun Huailang's line of sight. When he heard her name, Jun Huailang was stunned.

Then, he heard Jun Xiaowu gossip with him happily: "You don't know that Yi Jieyu is jealous of her aunt, and at the same time has nothing to do with a minor official in Qin Tianjian. Qing. Before dawn today, someone actually broke it, and she framed her aunt, so she was given a white silk by the emperor."

Shen shi quickly raised his hand to pat him.

Jun Xiaowu smiled and closed his mouth.

Yi Jieyu...dead?

Jun Huailang did not expect that as soon as the black hand behind the scenes surfaced, he even lost his life.

The series seems quite coincidental, but Jun Huailang always feels that something is wrong.

It seems that Xue Yan just copied a scripture and did nothing, then the gods and Buddhas came into the world, and all these people were brought to justice.

Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at his own thought.

Where can there be such a god.

Someone must have done what. But Concubine Shu is pure, Xue Yan... She is still very pure now, not like someone who can make such arrangements.

Is there someone who secretly helped him without knowing it?

Jun Huailang was puzzled, but he was no longer in the palace.

However, the traitor in his aunt's palace has been eliminated. The incident on New Year's Eve not only did not harm Xue Yan, but also made Emperor Qing Ping dispel a lot of prejudice against Xue Yan. And the eloquent priest in Qin Tianjian is now dead, and all the hidden dangers in the palace of the previous life were all removed overnight.

Now it seems that, apart from the fact that his father was falsely accused of greed with ink in his previous life, he had nothing to worry about.

Jun Huailang calmed down and took care of the illness at home for a period of time.

Although his high fever was cured that night, his body was still weak.

In the meantime, the decree to send his father to Jiangnan also arrived.

The Jiangnan Imperial Examination has always been the top priority for Dayong talent promotion. Every three years in the autumn season, an examiner must be dispatched in advance to arrange examination affairs and issue test questions for the next year's rural examination.

The chief examiners stationed here are mostly Beijing officials who are trusted by the emperor. After the autumn season, they will return to the capital. Therefore, over time, Dayong has a tradition of appointing the chief examiner as the governor of Jiangnan. The governor's envoy went to Jiangnan one year in advance to investigate local affairs and serve as the examiner.

Next year it will be autumn again.

Jun Huailang was sick at home for half a month, and then came the imperial decree to appoint Duke Yongning as the governor of Jiangnan, asking him to pack up in advance and hand over the affairs of Beijing and China.

This position is in the eyes of Beijing officials, but it is a good job that cannot be asked for. The governor is not only of high rank and great power, but most importantly, he has won the trust of the emperor.

Which one of the most important officials since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty has not stepped out of this position? Not to mention the commander of Qiuwei, next year's Qiuwei Jiangnan will call him a teacher, and it will be his help in the future when he becomes an official in the court.

In the past two years, due to the gradual loss of the Sacred Heart of the Xu family in the Chaozhongjiang River, the rumor that the Sage intends to reuse the always unknown Duke Yongning has never been broken.

But Yongning Gongfu was after all a big family with high achievements, and Yongning was also mediocre in qualifications and had no great achievements. Therefore, Chaozhong has always been a guess, but he did not think much of him.

But this imperial decree confirms all the speculations in the court - the emperor really wants to reuse him.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial decree came, the gate of Yongning Palace became lively.

DPRK and Chinese officials have found many reasons in order to get close to Yongning. However, Duke Yongning has always had a cold temperament who doesn't like socializing. After dealing with it a few times, he all declined.

Therefore, during this time, the palace was relatively quiet. After Jun Huailang recovered from his illness, Shen shi started to help him pack his bags.

He and his father will stay in Jiangnan for two years, so they have a lot to bring. By the time his luggage was packed in pieces, it was already early spring and February.

The day when Yongning takes office is gradually approaching.

However, Jun Huailang hid something on his mind, the more he got to the day of his departure, the more uneasy he became.

Although the matter in the palace has been settled, there is nothing for him to worry about, but he always recalls the tears that Xue Yan fell when he woke up that night.

No matter what happened in the past life, Xue Yan saved his life in this life.

It was only out of a little pity and selfishness to protect his family that he approached each other, and what he did was nothing more than a little effort.

He just hoped not to repeat the mistakes of the previous life, and never thought of asking the other party to return anything, but the fact is that Xue Yan really treats him sincerely, maybe even more sincere than he imagined.

Even if tears can deceive people, the look in his eyes when he wept that day can't deceive people.

He always felt that he should find a way to see Xue Yan again, at least thank him and say goodbye.

But he had no reason to enter the palace. And after he fell into the water once in the palace, Shen shi was also quite uneasy, and did not dare to let him go to the palace easily.

This matter has always been in Jun Huailang's heart.

Shen shi, who had been busy all the time, didn't notice his emotions, but his younger brother, who had nothing to do and always came to play with him, noticed it.

However, Jun Xiaowu has always been rough and has no delicate thoughts. He only thinks that his brother is reluctant to leave home, so he is in a bad mood.

Jun Xiaowu felt that he should think of something.

He deliberately found a day with excellent weather, stayed until dusk, and slipped into Jun Huailang's room.

"Brother, the weather is nice today, shall I take you somewhere?" With a mysterious smile on his face, he grabbed Jun Huailang and said.

"Where?" Jun Huailang was puzzled.

Jun Xiaowu kept silent.

"You'll know if you follow me." He said with a smile.
