Chapter 682
Autumn goes to winter, and the weather gradually gets colder.

Mr. Bo Lang's new house is the mansion of Mr. Qiu Zi when he was not king of Chu, so there are warm walls in the house.

"Why is this winter so cold?"

Luo Jiaojiao, who couldn't stay idle, went to the yard to practice swords for a while, then ran into the house and rubbed her hands together.

"Come on! Come here and warm up!"

Bo Langjun put down the scroll in his hand, fiddled with the charcoal fire with tongs, and called Luo Jiaojiao to sit beside him.

Luo Jiaojiao ran over to roast her hands, and then went to make tea for Bo Langjun.

Li Zheng walked into the house with a plate of roasted sweet potatoes.

Luo Jiaojiao happily took it, brought it to Bo Langjun's table and started eating.

"Is it that delicious?"

Watching Luo Jiaojiao finish eating one and smacking her fingers, Bo Langjun couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"Hmm! It's delicious! If you don't believe me, try one!"

Luo Jiaojiao carefully brought the peeled sweet potato to Bo Langjun's lips.

Bo Langjun sniffed the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and took a sip:
"Yes! You can eat!"

Bo Langjun, who is used to delicious delicacies, doesn't think there is anything delicious about sweet potatoes.

Luo Jiaojiao had eaten enough.She touched her belly and said she couldn't eat anymore.

"You look like you're pregnant!"

Bo Langjun glanced at Luo Jiaojiao's bulging belly and joked.

"Do you really want me to give you a baby?"

Luo Jiaojiao asked Bo Langjun quietly with her head resting on Bo Langjun's leg.

"Of course! Don't you like children very much? I don't mind having a few more."

Mr. Bo Lang pretended to be nonchalant and flicked Luo Jiaojiao's forehead with his hand.

"But Hongye already has children, why don't I have any?"

Luo Jiaojiao frowned and asked Mr. Bo in puzzlement.

It turned out that she wanted a child just like me!

After listening to Luo Jiaojiao's words, Mr. Bo Lang couldn't mention how happy he was.

"No hurry! There will be!"

Bo Langjun touched Luo Jiao's delicate and smooth face with his hand and smiled.

He was really afraid that Luo Jiaojiao would not give him a baby!
In a blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve is approaching, Mr. Bo Lang prepared a generous gift and sent it to the palace for Mr. Qiu Zi.

Qiu Zijun looked at the gift list and said with a smile:
"Unexpectedly, he is really rich!"

From the new year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Bo Langjun and his wife stayed in the palace with Qiu Zijun.

Ji Lian'er and Luo Jiaojiao are as close as ever.

On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, for the first time, Qiu Zijun took Ji Lianer out of the palace and went to the market with Bo Langjun and his wife to watch lanterns.

Zhang Gan led his bodyguards to secretly protect him.Li Shiwei and Manager He are inseparable from Qiu Zijun.

"Is the state of Chu not peaceful? You two stay away!"

Qiu Zijun felt that they were a bit of an eyesore, so he asked the two of them to follow from a distance.

"Aren't they thinking about your safety?"

Ji Lian'er spoke softly.

"Well! I just don't know how to behave! My wife and I finally got out! We are not free yet, how can we not make people angry?"

Qiu Zijun hugged Ji Lian'er's shoulders exaggeratedly.

"loquacious!"

Ji Lian'er also smiled with crooked eyebrows.At this time, she and Qiu Zijun wandered happily and freely in the lantern market like poor people in the market, admiring the charming lights at night to their heart's content.

Bo Langjun was dragged by Luo Jiaojiao to eat snacks.

Li Zheng and Hongye are looking at the lanterns and guessing lantern riddles.

"Master! This is a letter from the Governor of Hedong!"

Zhang Gan approached Qiu Zijun and bowed his hands to salute, and then presented a letter.

Qiu Zijun frowned and opened the letter to read it.

When Ji Lian'er heard that it was a letter from her father, she really wanted to know what was inside.

"Your mother is seriously ill and wants to see you."

Qiu Zijun sighed inwardly.

This time, it is impossible for him not to let Ji Lian'er go back to Hedong County.

Bo Langjun and his wife had just finished eating the snacks on the street when they saw Zhang Qian coming over and said that Qiu Zijun had brought the princess back to the palace.

"We should go back too!"

Mr. Bo Lang glanced at Li Zheng and his wife as they walked over carrying a lantern, and said to Luo Jiaojiao.

"All right!"

Although Luo Jiaojiao hadn't walked around enough, she also knew that although Zhang Qian was named as a messenger, he actually invited them back to the palace together.

On the second day, Luo Jiaojiao learned that Ji Lian'er had to return to Hedong County due to her mother's illness.She told Bo Langjun that she wanted to send Ji Lian'er back.

Bo Langjun also wanted to leave Chu, so he promised Luo Jiaojiao to send Ji Lian'er with her.

Three days later, Qiu Zijun hosted a banquet to send the princess back to her hometown to visit her relatives.

During the banquet, Ji Lian'er performed a neon dress dance for Qiu Zijun.

Ji Lian'er's dancing posture is light, her appearance is elegant and beautiful, and the other princes are staring at her.

They all lamented how lucky their elder brother was to marry such a beautiful and intelligent princess.

"Sister Ji dances so beautifully!"

Luo Jiaojiao held the fruit in her hand and stared intently at Ji Lian'er, who was charming with every frown and smile.

"Mother and Concubine's dance is indeed ecstasy! Since ancient times, there is a saying: 'There are so many beautiful women, so that you will forget your soul!' But you are different, aren't you!"

The corner of Prince Chu's mouth turned upward, and he looked at Ji Lian'er with a hint of provocation.

After Ji Lian'er danced to a song, she became angry when she heard Prince Chu's words.She took the jug and bowl from Mr. He's hand, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Prince Chu with a light smile:
"Drinking this bowl of wine, you can really be ecstasy!"

Prince Chu also toasted and put a glass of wine on the tray.

"Mother, do you dare to drink this glass of wine?"

"Why don't you dare? How about drinking together?"

Ji Lian'er picked up the wine glass and laughed so hard that Prince Chu's heart skipped a beat.He really didn't dare pick up the bowl of wine.

"What? Are you afraid that the wine might be poisoned? Or did you poison my glass of wine?"

Before Ji Lian'er finished speaking, the third prince shouted like outside the door:
"Come here! Send the imperial physician to come and check!"

"Wait!"

"Bring over the wine!"

Qiu Zijun shouted in a deep voice.

Guard He went to Prince Chu's table, took the wine glass from Ji Lian'er's hand and the bowl of wine she offered to Prince Chu, and brought it to Qiu Zijun.

Qiu Zijun picked up the wine glass with both hands.

Bo Langjun's heart suddenly rose.He knew that both glasses of wine were probably poisonous.He is the closest to Qiu Zijun, and only he can stop Qiu Zijun from drinking those two glasses of wine.However, he didn't do that.

Ji Lian'er and Prince Chu were too shocked to speak.They watched helplessly as Qiu Zijun poured all the wine into his mouth.

"There's no problem with the wine! Let's leave! Uncle Guo and his wife, Uncle Three, Prince and Princess stay here!"

Qiu Zijun waved his hand and ordered the table to be withdrawn.

All the retainers got up and left the table one after another, and dispersed separately.

Blood flowed slowly from Qiu Zijun's right nostril.

"Master Qiu! What's wrong with you?"

Luo Jiaojiao turned pale with shock.

"Director He! Close the door!"

As soon as Qiu Zijun finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Ji Lian'er fainted on the spot.

"Father! It's not me!"

Prince Chu ran to Qiu Zijun in horror, knelt down and wept bitterly.

"Let the princess go back to Hedong County, don't stop her!"

"Okay! My son promises you! Come here! Send it to the imperial physician!"

Prince Chu suddenly yelled out the door.

Helplessly, Guard He had already closed the palace door.People outside can't hear the sound inside.

"Third brother! Don't you regret it?"

Qiu Zijun's phoenix eyes stared, and the third prince's face turned pale with fright.

He wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't say it anyway.He had never felt such fear.

"That's all! You swear in front of Uncle Guo and his wife! After I die, I will assist the prince with all my heart, and I will never have another heart!"

The third prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently, but couldn't say a word.

"Miss Luo! You and Hongye immediately send your wife back to Hedong County! Disciple!"

Qiu Zijun held Bao Langjun's hand and looked at him for a long while, closing his eyes forever.

"Master Qiu!"

Luo Jiaojiao's heart-piercing cry was heard by the guards outside the hall.They broke open the door and rushed in.

When they saw Qiu Zijun's blood stained clothes, they immediately drew out their knives in unison.
