"What can you do? You are just a mere guard, which means that you are just a guard! What can we do if we offend such a powerful person? We can't do anything, we can only accept our fate! "
"Accept your fate?" Zhang Jun sneered, "Don't worry, for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years isn't too late. If I can't give Hong'er an explanation today, I will definitely teach Xiao Luotian a lesson!"
His brother shook his head helplessly. He felt that Zhang Jun was bewitching right now. It was just something he said when he was angry, but it would fade after a while.
Zhang Jun said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, you can go back first. Hong'er, I will bring her to the East Palace."
Aunt Liu and the others said firmly, "We are not leaving. We are just waiting here for news of you. If we don't get an explanation today, I will risk my life to get to the yamen!" If the yamen doesn't answer, then we'll stroll through the streets! "In short, we will do everything we can to help the girl!"
Zhang Jun nodded appreciatively, "Alright, then just wait for me for a while. I will push Hong'er forward."
The East Palace.
A group of guards pushed a small cart and headed towards the main gate of the East Palace.
Most of the guards in the palace recognized Zhang Jun. At this moment, the guard at the entrance of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"
"Brother Liu, I want to see His Highness, the Crown Prince." After saying that, Zhang Junliang flashed the name plate in his hands.
The guard called Big Brother Liu said awkwardly, "It's not convenient for His Highness the Crown Prince right now."
"I want to see him now!" Zhang Jun's voice was twice as loud.
Liu Cong did not know why he was so agitated, but he steadied him. "Wait, wait a little longer. His Highness the crown prince is really busy right now. If anything happens, we can talk about it later."
"No!" This was no small matter! May I trouble Your Highness, the Crown Prince, to step out! " This time, Zhang Jun's voice was several times louder as he directly knelt down in front of the palace gate.
"What kind of noise are you making outside?" Xiao Shiyun's unhappy voice came from within.
Zhang Jun shouted with all his might, "I plead for Your Highness to meet this servant!"
The two palace maids pushed open the door and Xiao Shiyun slowly walked out. He looked at the cart outside and the guards kneeling on the ground. He recognized the man. His name was Zhang Jun, and he was one of the guards that little girl Hong'er liked.
Since he knew that Hong'er would often sneak out, he naturally knew Zhang Jun as well.
"But what happened to Hong'er?" Xiao Shiyun frowned. Hong'er could be considered a palace maid that he cared about very much. She was a well-behaved and intelligent young lady, and it was precisely because of this that he was so generous and often allowed Hong'er to slip away to play.
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the crown prince to know of Hong'er. Feeling that the hope in his heart had been increased, he kowtowed a few more times before crying, "Please make the decision, your highness!"
As he said this, he lifted the blanket from Hong'er's corpse, and his expression changed.
He immediately descended the stairs and stepped forward, holding Hong'er's hand, "Why is Hong'er …"
Zhang Jun was filled with indignation, "Your Highness, it was the Second Prince who did this!"
To put it simply, there was no need to explain. With Xiao Luotian's usual actions, he could already guess what was going on.
However, just at this moment, another person walked out from the palace door. This person had a dark golden python robe. He had a face similar to Xiao Shiyun's, but had a different temperament and was extremely vulgar.
"Big brother, why are you so noisy outside? Why don't you come in and continue playing chess?" Xiao Luotian walked out with his hands behind his back, yawning.
When Zhang Jun saw Xiao Luotian, he was stunned for a moment. Why was he here …
He looked at the crown prince with anticipation. Presumably... The matter of avenging Hong'er.
Sure enough, Xiao Shiyun looked at his disappointing younger brother with a disdainful look, "Luo Tian, look at what you've done to him."
Xiao Luotian walked over unhurriedly, and said impatiently, "What's wrong? Why are you scolding me? "
Walking closer to Hong'er's corpse, his eyes lit up, and as if he was watching a magic trick, he pointed at Hong'er and laughed, "Isn't that the little b * stard from earlier in the day? They were on my bed just now, why is big brother here? Needless to say, this little girl tastes quite good. "
Zhang Jun gnashed his teeth as he looked at Xiao Luotian. His nails dug into the palms of his hands, filling them with blood.
He knew that impulsiveness wasn't the solution to a problem. If he wanted revenge, he had to hold it in!
The bodyguards at the side nervously looked at Zhang Jun. They knew how important Hong'er was in Zhang Jun's heart. They were afraid that he would do something out of line and cause a fatal disaster.
But who would have thought? Right now, Zhang Jun's expression was very calm. It seemed that he was not angry at all?
Xiao Shiyun cursed in speechlessness, "You can still smile?! This is my personal palace maid, and you're ruining her like this? You've already gone out to meditate for three years, why are you still back in this state! "
Xiao Luotian wasted a whole day with Xiao Bao Yun, "Big brother, I didn't go to mother's place when I came back, and I came straight to your place. Why didn't you entertain me properly and even teach me when you came? "Let's go, it's boring!"
Even though Xiao Bingyun was his big brother, he knew his character. He also relied on his mother's love for him, so he didn't need to be afraid of this big brother.
"You! Stop right there! " Xiao Shiyun shouted angrily.
However, Xiao Luotian remained indifferent and continued to walk forward.
Xiao Shiyun turned around and looked at Zhang Jun, "Guard Zhang, I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold. Xiao Shiyun turned and looked at Zhang Jun," Guard Zhang, I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold.
Zhang Jun didn't know how the crown prince knew him, so he asked coldly, "Your Highness, are we just going to let go of Hong'er's matter?"
Xiao Shiyun knew what he was thinking, so he tolerated his rudeness. "I'll tell my mother later and let her teach him a lesson."
"Heh." Zhang Jun sneered. This was probably just empty talk.
"Hong'er is one of the few palace maids that I like, so my heart aches for her. But as you can see, he doesn't even listen to my words, and I can't do anything about him either. Now, I can only properly make up for it.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have killed them long ago. However, this was a prince, and his own brother. He had no other choice but to scold him a few times.
He could not avenge his parents' death for the sake of a palace maid.
Zhang Jun lowered his head dejectedly. Actually, the crown prince had his reasons as well. Even though he was the crown prince and wanted to stand up for Hong'er, it was his own younger brother who had killed Hong'er.
