Chapter Eighty-Six: Telling
The autumn capital is a little cooler with a rain.
In the palace, although the layers of palace walls blocked the autumn wind, there were still gusts of wind.
Princess Xianrong walked back and forth several times, her feet were numb, and she rubbed her cold hands and looked at the palace in front of her.
"Haven't you finished talking about it yet?" She couldn't help but ask.
The chamberlains standing on the side looked towards the palace.
"Slave maid go and see." A small chamberlain said flatteringly.
After saying that, he ran away in small steps, and came back after a while.
"The ministers are all gone, so go quickly, princess." He said.
Princess Xianrong hurriedly went over there, and was stopped by the chamberlain just before she arrived at the palace.
"Princess, wait a minute." They said.
"Is Father still busy?" Princess Hsien Rong asked.
"No, the prince of Zhenbei is here." The chamberlain said.
The prince of Zhenbei.
Princess Xianrong didn't react for a while, and suddenly heard a voice from inside her ears.
"Your Majesty, you don't want me anymore!"
Princess Hsien Rong was startled by the sudden howl
Zhou Chengzhen!
Didn't he run? How did you come back again?
Although the emperor told the Empress Dowager and others that Zhou Chengzhen ran out to play, everyone privately guessed that Zhou Chengzhen ran back to Zhenbei Wangfu.
The emperor was angry, and everyone avoided the issue.
Why did he come back again?
Princess Xianrong couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but the chamberlain stopped her.
"Princess, please wait a minute." He whispered with a smile.
Princess Xianrong pouted, who liked to hear what he had to say. Throwing up his sleeves and turning around and walking to the side hall, he just walked a few steps when a little chamberlain came running upside down.
"Princess, your letter." He said.
Letter?
Princess Xianrong took the letter that recognized Peng Shui, and stood under the eaves of the porch to open it and look at it.
Xie Rouhui said that she was as surprised as her family about the emperor's edict and the family affairs of the king of Dongping County, but she was very happy.
This shows that the emperor attaches great importance to their Xie family, which is an extremely glorious thing. Now the whole Peng Shui is preparing for this marriage.
Princess Xianrong frowned. Why is it so high-sounding to write a private message with yourself?
She looked on, her brow furrowed.
“…… I know that the princess cares, and I will write back to you immediately, and I am willing to do so. There's something I haven't told the princess all along. That is, I have already made it clear to the king of Dongping County. The misunderstanding has been resolved......"
Resolve the misunderstanding, so is she going to marry the king of Dongping County?
I heard that the Xie family is making trouble with the eldest lady and the second lady again, and that Xie Roujia is arrogant. If you want to occupy the eldest lady, it is also good for Xie Rouhui to marry the king of Dongping County and come to the capital.
It's a great family business.
Princess Xianrong couldn't help but turn around, she was going to urge her father to give another mansion to the king of Dongping County.
He had just walked a few steps when he was stopped by the smiling attendant.
"Princess." He reminded him apologetically.
Princess Hsien Rong glanced at the inner room.
This Zhou Chengzhen, what are you talking about, it's better to hurry.
…………………………………
"I don't want you anymore?" The emperor looked at Zhou Chengzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly, "This is really strange, why don't I want you?" ”
"Your Majesty, that's what you asked me in your edict to the Xie family." Zhou Chengzhen said with an aggrieved face, raised his sleeve and wiped his face.
His face was a black patch of dust and sweat.
"Oh, you're really too careful, I just asked where you went, why didn't I want you?" The Emperor said.
Zhou Chengzhen sniffed and knelt down a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty, don't coax me, I know Your Majesty is angry." He said, "I really don't want Your Majesty. ”
The two chamberlains who were hidden by the curtain looked up and lowered their heads.
"I fell in love with someone, so I ran after her." Zhou Chengzhen continued, "I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, and I also know that Your Majesty won't agree, so I ran away." ”
The Emperor smiled.
"Then you're really out of luck." He said.
Zhou Chengzhen raised her head and smiled.
"yes, I think I'm out of tune, too." He said, "Your Majesty, you see, I have found the First Emperor Ding. ”
The Emperor sighed.
"Why did the First Emperor Ding become yours again?" He said lightly.
Zhou Chengzhen knelt straight and looked solemn.
"Your Majesty, this matter is a surprise." He said, "When I learned from Uncle Nineteen that the Xie family had an accident again, I followed, and when I saw that she was embarrassed, I wanted to help her, so I tied up the second lady of the Xie family, and there was nowhere else to escape, the Xie family is so powerful, Your Majesty, you will definitely protect them." ”
The emperor's brows furrowed, and he swallowed what he was about to say.
"I just went to Zhenbei Wangfu with an idea, Your Majesty, I really went for this." Zhou Chengzhen said, looking at the emperor, "Uncle Nineteen also knows, so he ignored me, because he knew that I would definitely come back." ”
The emperor frowned again and was about to say something, but Zhou Chengzhen knelt down and took a step forward and spoke first.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that there would be a big discovery." He shouted with bright eyes.
The Big Discovery? The First Emperor?
The emperor looked at him, but Zhou Chengzhen sat back again, sighing and talking.
"This is really in response to the old saying, good people have good rewards." He said, "If I hadn't been here to help the young lady of the Xie family, how could I go to Zhenbei Wangfu, how could I find such a big secret if I didn't go to Zhenbei Wangfu." ”
"You're not here to help others, you're here to help yourself, good people are rewarded, it's not appropriate to use it here." The Emperor interrupted him.
Zhou Chengzhen smiled.
"Don't talk about that." He waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will continue to tell you this big secret. ”
It should have been said a long time ago, and the emperor's expression was indifferent.
"However, the first time I met my grandfather, it turned out that my grandfather was so old, he didn't see it at all as I imagined." Zhou Chengzhen said, "It's also very weird. It's also very ridiculous, seeing me is like seeing a ghost, and a group of people surrounded me to break my legs and throw me out, and said that it was to prevent your majesty from being suspicious. ”
At this he sneered.
"People who are afraid of others being suspicious are suspicious, if you really want to be upright, where can you be afraid of the east and the west, and sure enough, I will cheat out."
"How?" The Emperor asked.
Zhou Chengzhen smiled slightly.
"I said that I robbed the young lady of the Xie family, and asked them if they knew about the Xie family, the Bashu Great Witch Xie Family, this is the Dannu of the Bashu Great Witch Xie Family." "I didn't expect them to really know," he said. And it is also in need of the Dan daughter of the Xie family. ”
He raised his hand as he spoke. Made a cut pose.
"The blood of the Xie family Dannu is needed to activate the First Emperor Ding."
Although he already knew that the First Emperor Ding was in the Zhenbei Palace, he was still a little nervous when he really heard it.
The emperor looked at him.
"Need the blood of the Xie family's Dannu?" He asked.
"Yes." Zhou Chengzhen said. "I saw the First Emperor Ding through a blood test. But because I'm bringing a second lady. This blood is useless, so I lied to them by the way and said that I would go to Bashu and personally take the blood of the eldest lady to use it. ”
At this he patted his leg and laughed.
"Your Majesty, guess what. Their group of fools believed it, and really gave me the First Emperor Ding, you say, why are they so stupid? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, is he really my grandfather? It can't be, it's far worse than me. ”
The Emperor frowned.
"It's because he's your grandfather that you can fool him." He said.
"Whatever those." Zhou Chengzhen waved his hand indifferently, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't give you the First Emperor Ding directly, if you give it to you, you can only get one benefit...."
The emperor's face froze.
"So you'd rather laugh at the beauty?" He said indifferently.
Zhou Chengzhen grinned.
"Your Majesty, I still have to dedicate it to you in the end anyway, and by the way, wouldn't it be good for the Xie family to remember my credit." "Kill two birds with one stone, don't waste it." ”
By this time he had knelt before the Emperor, who raised his hand and struck him on the head.
"What do you get with two birds with one stone?" He exclaimed, "What do you want?" ”
Zhou Chengzhen pressed his head with his hand and looked up at the emperor.
"I want to join the Xie family and marry the eldest lady of the Xie family!"
The emperor was stunned, looked at him, and then raised his hand again and hit him hard.
"Get out of here! Something that doesn't make a difference! Roll on! ”
Zhou Chengzhen walked out of the palace city in a bit of embarrassment, and hurriedly greeted him.
"How is the prince?" He said hurriedly, and without waiting for Zhou Chengzhen to speak, he pointed to the palace gate on the other side, "Shao Mingqing also went in just now." ”
Zhou Chengzhen sighed and looked over there.
"The kid has arrived, too?" He said, sure enough, he saw a car in front of the palace gate over there, it was Qingyunguan's car, and there were two little Taoist priests standing next to him, and he had a smile on his face, "It's good that he arrives, it depends on him whether this matter will be successful." ”
"Look at him?" Bajin said anxiously, "He won't say good things for you." ”
Zhou Chengzhen laughed, put her hands behind her head and stretched her body hard, making a gurgling sound.
"That's right, I, Zhou Chengzhen, can only live if others say bad things about me in this life, and I Zhou Chengzhen can only be a person if I am a bad person."
…………………………………………………
"Why did someone go in again?" Princess Xianrong was stopped outside the palace again, a little angry, "Who is it this time?" ”
"It's Dao Chang Shao of Qingyun Temple." The chamberlain said with a smile.
Although she didn't know what this Shao Daochang was, Princess Qingyunguan Xianrong still knew that she couldn't be messed with.
"It's annoying." She said, "When he's gone, make sure to inform me." ”
The inner attendant responded to the sound of watching Princess Xianrong walk into the side hall again, and then look at this side, the door of the palace is closed, different from the noise of Zhou Chengzhen, who is suitable for talent, at this time the inner is quiet.
The emperor looked at Shao Mingqing, who was kneeling in front of him.
"So you got it very early?" He said, "It turns out that the First Emperor Ding should have appeared a few months ago. ”
Shao Mingqing nodded.
"Yes." He said.
"But you brought Peng Shui for the young lady of the Xie family." The Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, it was she who snatched it from Zhou Chengzhen with great difficulty, it should be her credit, I can't ......," Shao Mingqing said.
The Emperor interrupted him.
"What about Zhou Chengzhen and the people who are chasing you?" He asked.
Shao Mingqing's expression froze, but he still raised his head and looked calm.
"In Yushan, I took out the First Emperor Ding and they came to grab it. was killed by Zhou Chengzhen. He said.
The Emperor stopped talking.
"But Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, he let the First Emperor Ding appear in Yushan Xie's house just to wash away the sins of the Zhenbei Palace." Shao Mingqing said.
The Emperor hummed.
"But the charges of Zhenbei Wangfu can't be washed away." He said, "And the First Emperor Ding Zhen also got it." ”
Shao Mingqing clenched his hands.
"But Your Majesty, Zhou Chengzhen, he is definitely not a good thing." He gritted his teeth.
The Emperor smiled.
"Yes, he's not just a good thing, he's not a thing."
Shao Mingqing had something else to say, and the emperor interrupted him.
"It's hard for you to fight with this thing for so long, you go down and rest, your master is also waiting for you to speak." He said.
Xuan Zhenzi is in the palace. It just so happened that I came to give a lecture to Your Majesty today. It also happened to prevent them from meeting and talking first.
Shao Mingqing bowed his head and retreated.
This time, Princess Hsien Rong finally came in as she wished.
"Father, Emperor, Emperor." She looked at the emperor who was sitting in front of a few cases and said happily, "Uncle Nineteen is about to get married, you can give him a new mansion and change feng shui." lest the new princess get sick and die again. ”
The Emperor snorted.
"What words!" He shouted. "Palm."
Princess Hsien Rong was not afraid at all. Raise your hand and hit yourself.
"It's not what I said, everyone says that, saying that Uncle Wang's family is heavy..."She muttered.
The Emperor glared at her.
"That's good. I gave him the palace of Zhenbei. He said.
Princess Xianrong was overjoyed, and then she was stunned.
"Zhenbei Palace? Isn't that Zhou Chengzhen's? She said, "Do you want Uncle Nineteen and his wife to live with Zhou Chengzhen?" ”
The emperor smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and picked up the written edict.
"From now on, there will be no Zhou Chengzhen, only Xie Chengzhen." He said, reading it again, "This name is so funny, let the Xie family change it when the time comes." ”
What?
Xianrong was confused, why is there no Zhou Chengzhen? What the hell is Xie Chengzhen?
…………………………………………
The chamberlain looked at the edict handed over.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this? Isn't that what he wants? He whispered, "Do you really believe him?" ”
The Emperor smiled.
"His words, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, I just need to know that the First Emperor Ding is really in the hands of the imperial uncle, so it can be seen that there is no slander and wronging him, and besides, the First Emperor Ding is now in my hands." He said, "If what he Zhou Chengzhen says is true, then let him go, if what he says is false." ”
Speaking of which, he glanced at the chamberlain.
"That means that this First Emperor Ding is not important, and the important secret is in the Xie family."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded again.
"Then let him go, Your Majesty, and see what they want." He said.
"I let them get their wish." The emperor had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I let them get their wish, and they have to let me get their wish." ”
……………………………………………………
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky in Bashu has become cool.
Xie Roujia stood at the gate of the courtyard and was a little hot.
"Don't let me out?" She asked.
"Second Miss, your body is not well yet, the eldest lady has an order, please go back." The guard said with a blank expression.
Although she was taken out of the tunnel and arranged in the courtyard of Old Madam Xie according to her wishes, she still couldn't come and go freely, and since Shao Mingqing left, she couldn't even touch the people he left.
She wanted to use witchcraft to get out, but when she thought of the loss, she felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
Anyway, she just wants to see the king of Dongping County, the news has been handed out, if she can't see it, how to see it, let him figure out a way.
Xie Roujia sighed and turned around, the courtyard door was closed behind her, she slowly walked back into the house, and as soon as she held on to the door frame, she suddenly saw someone standing in the room, looking at the sword hanging on the wall.
Person!
Why did someone suddenly appear?
Why didn't she notice it at all?
Xie Roujia was startled, and was about to shout, when she saw the man turn around.
"You're looking for me?" He said in a warm voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Xie Roujia was stunned for a moment, this voice, this demeanor, this face......
Actually, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's still familiar at first glance.
"How did you get here?" She couldn't help but blurt out.
The man in front of him, who was wearing a plain brocade robe and still holding a golden hairpin and jade crown, had warm eyebrows and eyes.
"There's something I want to tell you." He said.
