Chapter 290: The Prince's Arrangement
Zheng Cairen took the initiative to ask Gonggong Ling after pondering for two days: "Who is dealing with Zhang Zhaoyi?" Is it the Queen's Mother, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or someone else? ”
Gonggong Ling laughed and said slowly: "The slave thinks that it makes no difference to you, you just need to know that someone is going to deal with her." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zheng Cairen also replied with a smile: "No, there is a difference, Father-in-law Ling, if I help a non-human, my future fate is unimaginable, so I must know who you want me to help before I can make a decision." ”
This person is really very smart, Father-in-law Ling smiled, he lowered his voice and said, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother, I don't need to say more about what kind of people they are, right?" ”
Zheng Cairen immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll help you with this." ”
She has always been rational, and she knows that it is much more reliable and advantageous to stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress Mother than on the side of Zhang Zhaoyi or the Imperial Concubine.
The smile on Father-in-law Ling's face became even stronger, and he said in an extremely relieved tone: "Then there is Lao Zhengcai." After that, he told Zheng Cairen about the matters that should be paid attention to.
What he said was nothing more than how to skillfully gain Zhang Zhaoyi's trust and then report Zhang Zhaoyi's thoughts and actions to him, which were not difficult things for the smart and clever Zheng Cairen, so Zheng Cairen was full of answers.
The next day, Zheng Cairen took the initiative to find Zhang Zhaoyi.
Zhang Zhaoyi has been trying to curry favor with the emperor wholeheartedly recently, and she was very disappointed when she learned that Zheng Cairen was coming, so she thought that she would just see her casually.
However, after Zheng Cairen came, he talked to her about the two of them in the draft.
The two were very good in those days.
"We used to be sisters, but now we have our own lives, but I still wish we could move around a little more. I know you're very much favored right now, and I'm glad for you from the bottom of my heart. Zheng Cairen said earnestly, and said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to compete with you for favor." ”
Zhao Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows, thinking in her heart.
Zheng Cairen suddenly came to her at this time, almost had to make her vigilant, she thought of the process she had walked all the way since she entered the palace, which can really be described as "difficult step by step". She thought about the mission she was carrying, and now her life was no longer completely under her control, and she had to be careful with every step.
"That's right, we used to have a very friendly time together, but then after I was canonized as Zhaoyi, you and Zhong Meiren deliberately distanced themselves from me, and then I encountered difficulties several times and you didn't help, and now you suddenly do this, how do you think I should feel?" Zhang Zhaoyi looked at Zheng Cairen and asked with a smile.
Zheng Cairen was not panicked, and replied calmly: "I know you will suspect me of ulterior motives, but I have also seen many things clearly in the past half a year, and I am very satisfied with the life I am living now, and I have nothing else to ask for." The reason why I suddenly came to walk around with you is not to compete with you for favor, I will not do such a futile thing, after all, if I could have won you, I would have fought half a year ago, and I am only here now because I also see the danger of your situation, and I want to help you as much as possible. ”
When she heard the latter sentence, Zhang Zhaoyi was shocked, looked at Zheng Cairen and asked, "Do you think my situation is dangerous?" How do you say that? ”
Zheng Cairen smiled lightly: "The authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, do Zhaoyi dare to say that you are not worried yourself?" ”
Zhang Zhaoyi's right hand holding the teacup shook slightly, she put the teacup down, and stared at Zheng Cairen intently.
She can see her own worries, so she obviously came this time with a purpose.
"Anyway, what did you come to me for?" Zhang Zhaoyi asked.
"I've already said it, I want to help you, I know you're not sure about your future, and you know what you want the most and what you're most worried about." Zheng Cairen said.
Zhang Zhaoyi chuckled low and said, "Okay, then let's talk about this." ”
After that, Zhang Zhaoyi asked people to pour tea for Zheng Cairen, and ordered people to serve snacks and fruits.
The two chatted with each other.
After learning the news that the relationship between Zheng Cairen and Zhang Zhaoyi had begun to improve, Gonggong Ling immediately went to inform the prince, and the prince said: "Let Zheng Cairen continue to associate with her like this." ”
……………
In a deep mountain basin in Fudeng County, Kong Wuli, dressed as a white-bearded old man, is roasting pheasants in a vacant lot behind a small makeshift hut.
Recently, the people sent by the prince have been keeping a close eye on him, and he has been hiding in the mountains for seventeen days in order to avoid their pursuit.
He had already run out of dry food with him, so he had to go hunting. He was flattered to catch a pheasant and a nest of wild eggs in a large bush this evening, and now he was roasting it.
As for the nest of eggs, he was going to keep them for the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, he felt that he might have to go down the mountain.
"Buy some rice, meat, wine, and a thick padded jacket." He muttered to himself.
Seventeen days ago, when he passed by an intersection, he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and when he turned to look, he immediately noticed a figure flashing rapidly from the corner of the wall on one side. He hurried to the other side.
But he soon noticed someone following him.
He dodged and dodged until it was dark.
As he ran into the mountains alone, he couldn't help but ask himself, "How long will this life last?" ”
Then he laughed at himself again - unless he didn't want this life anymore, he would have to live like this on the run forever.
He remembered what he had said to Wen Yingsu, "Maybe one day I will tell you the truth", and he couldn't help laughing again.
Will there be a day when they will be told the truth? Maybe he thought so the moment he spoke to her, but he didn't think that way now.
He wanted to live, no matter how hard it was, he wanted to save his life, so he knew that he couldn't take the initiative to tell them the truth, unless he was caught by them. But he won't let them catch him, and as long as he has a breath left, he will do his best to get out of the possibility of being pursued by them.
People who haven't experienced the hanging of their lives won't feel this way.
He's so desperate for his life right now.
He felt that it was better to die than to live, even if it was as humble as a small grass.
Not to mention that he still has parents.
But it should be difficult for him to get a chance to see them again.
Kong Wuli was immersed in the past, and he didn't even notice the aroma of the pheasant roasting.
In the bushes less than thirty feet away from his small hut, ten men sent by the prince lay in ambush.
Kong Wuli stayed here for as long as they were ambushed here.
In fact, they could have rushed down immediately to capture Kong Wuli, but they obeyed the prince's order, monitored him first, and waited for the people sent by the prince from the capital to arrive before making the next move.
Who will the prince send? Did the people who came want to arrest Kong Wuli directly? They don't know either.
