Chapter 10 Strange Hearts

Yu Shi and Luo Gong simply sat down at the table in the cubicle, just two stools, while Zhong Xiaoli stood aside and told everything in the past six years since Zhong Qingchi married Zhu Rong and moved into the princess's mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhong Qingchi is handsome and elegant, it was at the palace banquet that Zhu Rong fell in love with him at first sight, and then sent someone to check everything about Zhong Qingchi thoroughly.

After learning that Zhong Qingchi was not yet married, and had an excellent reputation outside, and he was full of poetry and books, he was not in the officialdom, no matter how he looked at it, he was very much in line with the criteria for the princess of the royal family to choose a horse, not to mention that Zhu Rong had already seen Zhong Qingchi, and she never forgot his handsome appearance.

After marrying the princess of the Chu State in the past dynasties, no matter who is allowed to set foot in the officialdom, even if there is an official position at that time, he has to resign from his official position, and marry the golden branch and jade leaf without an official body, and he will be rich and noble since then, and he will not be carefree in this life, and no one will easily provoke the princess of the dynasty.

When others wanted to marry the princess, they all wanted to break their heads and squeeze through the palace gate, but when it came to Zhong Qingchi, they easily won Zhu Rong's heart with a face.

Zhong Xiaoli said: "When the second young master went out, he overheard those ugly foul words in the streets and alleys, and the second young master also had trouble with the old man, saying that he should not go down to this royal family!" ”

However, Zhong Qingchi didn't know that since Zhu Rong had taken a fancy to him, with the degree of doting on Zhu Rong by the emperor and the empress, unless he died, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become Zhu Rong's attachment.

Yu picked up the teacup and drank it empty, Zhong Xiaoli added it in time with great eyesight, and by the way, he also filled Luo Gong with only half a cup of tea.

Yu Shi and Luo Gong said: "It seems that this imperial family six years ago has fallen into a knot in Zhong Qingchi's heart from the beginning. ”

Luo Gong nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, only let Zhong Xiaoli continue.

Zhong Xiaoli stood up straight after adding tea for the two of them, and continued:

"It's not just a knot in the heart, it is rumored that the second young master and Her Royal Highness the princess have a deep relationship between husband and wife, and they live happily and happily, but who knows that all this is just an appearance, and who knows that the second young master often stays in this study for a night!"

Even though Zhong Qingchi had a knot with Zhu Rong at the beginning, after marrying Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong's beauty and gentleness gradually softened Zhong Qingchi's heart, and the reason why Zhong Qingchi and Zhu Rong gradually drifted apart was Zhong Qingchi's reluctance to deal with the royal family.

Yu Shi listened to Zhong Xiaoli's words and told that Zhong Qingchi and Zhu Rong had been in harmony over the years, and finally heard that Zhong Qingchi, as a dignified man, was unwilling to share many trivial matters of etiquette and exchanges between various royal families and magnates for Zhu Rong, and couldn't help but say:

"Her Royal Highness the princess is the only princess of the emperor and the queen's mother, not to mention the royal family, that is, all the magnates in the court want to befriend Her Royal Highness the princess through Mrs. or Miss, since the princess is married to the princess, he should be ready to communicate with the people of the royal family and the powerful in the court, although in terms of the position of the princess and the princess, you can't be too intimate, but the face is still passable, these princesses have not thought about it before marrying Her Royal Highness the princess?"

Yu Shi was a princess of a country in her last life, although she was not the same as the princess of Chu State, she also died and died before she got married, but these basic routines, she has heard a lot in the palace since she was a child, not to mention that there is a special upbringing mother to teach, probably no one can understand Zhu Rong's mood better than her.

Yu Shi stood in Zhu Rong's position and spoke for Zhu Rong, which made Luo Gong can't help but glance at her, but saw that she didn't care, just stared at Zhong Xiaoli and asked him to explain.

Zhong Xiaoli heard that Yu Shi's words also had the meaning of blaming Zhong Qingchi, so he was also anxious, and his tone couldn't help but raise an octave:

"Didn't think about anything! But did my second young master have a choice back then? The second young master has not been good at communication since he was a child, so he doesn't want to go to the official career, otherwise with my master is a dignified household secretary, how can the second young master not have an official and a half-job! ”

This is quite full of words, as if the official department was opened by the Zhong family.

As soon as Zhong Xiaoli finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his words again, so this time he didn't kneel down or admit his mistake and beg for mercy, and stood very upright with his body that was stared at by Yu Shi and couldn't stop trembling lightly.

Yu Shi only stared at Zhong Xiaoli, and did not react to Zhong Xiaoli's words of raising an octave to refute her.

Seeing this, Luo Gong didn't say anything, only picked up the teacup and took a sip.

And so on for more than a dozen breaths.

In just a dozen breaths, Zhong Xiaoli seemed to have passed thousands of years, and he was covered in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoli was obviously afraid, but he still carried it for his master Zhong Qingchi, he couldn't help but smile slowly, and said kindly:

"Well, I believe you."

Listening to Zhong Xiaoli say that Zhong Qingchi had gotten along with Zhu Rong in the princess's mansion for six years, Yushi and Luo Gong both felt more and more that this rumor outside was really unbelievable!

After Zhong Xiaoli finished speaking, the two asked some questions about Zhong Qingchi and Zhu Rong, especially Zhong Qingchi's situation and habits in the study on weekdays, and after asking the two, they asked Zhong Xiaoli to wait outside the study.

Luo Gong and Yu Shi swapped each other, Luo Gong checked the cubicle again, and Yu Shi went to check the contents of the bookcase.

After a cup of tea, the two sat down again at the table in the cubicle.

Yu Shi asked, "What did you find?" ”

Although Yu Shi and Luo Gong have grown up together since childhood, and they are two little guesses who know the roots, but both of them have made an appointment, as soon as they put on the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, the two of them have to do business, and they have to be honored as they want, as for the private after taking off the flying fish suit, it is casual.

Luo Gong said: "I didn't find anything, the things on the bookcase are all the accounts of the private business of the attached Ma Ye, and it was only put aside halfway through, Zhong Xiaoli said that since he found out that the attached Ma Ye was assassinated and died, no one else in this Yiqiu courtyard has entered except him, that is, Her Royal Highness the princess has never touched anything in the study since she came in, and he has always been instructed by the attached Ma Ye not to tamper with anything on the book case attached to the Ma Ye, that is to say, the attached Ma Ye was halfway through the calculation last night and went into this small compartment to rest, until he was assassinated and killed silently, The only thing is the soup ......."

Yu Shi nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right!" As soon as I entered the cubicle, I also looked at it carefully, the bedding on this bed was messy, obviously I did sleep in bed last night, and I also asked Zhong Xiaoli just now, and I read the account book every night, and I will go to the cubicle to take a nap when I see half of it, but he replied no, and asked him if he would send a cup of tonic soup from the kitchen every night, and he replied yes! ”

In the end, she deliberately added: "Zhong Xiaoli's words, I think it is credible!" ”

Yu Shi looked at Luo Gong and did not say anything more.
