Chapter 518: Freedom at a Price
Ying Han looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously and said, "Ah, I still have to serve the prince of Chu tomorrow night?" Doesn't that make it more difficult to get out? ”
At first, the two maids almost jumped up with joy when they heard Zhang Yi say that they gave Yinghan a free body, but when they heard this, they also felt that Zhang Yi's words were inconsistent. "Since Yinghan has been asked not to marry, then why bother to let her get close to Mihuai. What if that Mi Huai falls in love with Ying Han and has to marry Ying Han alive? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? ”
Ying Han also suspected: "This looks like the prime minister is hiding from himself, so that he can be obedient for a while and pass tomorrow's dinner perfunctorily." After that, who knows if he will let himself marry Mi Huai again? ”
Ying Han stared at a pair of big eyes, looked at Zhang Yi for a moment, and refused to nod in agreement. Zhang Yi was also angry, and he said to Yinghan unceremoniously: "I sympathize with the girl's plight, and I know that you were forced by your father to come to Yingdu of Chu with the mission. But sympathy is sympathy, and we are on a special mission, not playing a game of housework. If you don't obey the overall action, then I can only follow the original arrangement and leave you directly in the Chu State. ”
Zhang Yi said as she spoke, her tone became even colder, and she said, "I am giving the girl the most reluctant chance." It's up to you to catch it. I am a dignified and powerful person, not a person who casually talks nonsense. How to choose? You give me a reply. ”
Zheng Cheng saw that Yinghan was still hesitating, he was so anxious that he opened his mouth and said, "Miss Yinghan, you can agree to come down." Finally, there was such a turnaround, why are you still undecided? You cooperate with the action at the banquet tomorrow, and if things don't go your way, you can continue the hunger strike, and you have nothing to lose. ”
Under Zheng Cheng's reminder, the two maids also felt that Yinghan should agree to Zhang Yi's request, and they also joined the ranks of persuasion. Ying Han was moved by this speech, she stood up, bowed to Zhang Yi, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhang Yi embarrassedly.
She said: "The little woman doesn't understand military affairs, and she has caused a lot of trouble to Prime Minister Zhang. Tomorrow's banquet, I will do as the prime minister instructs, and I will do my best. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yi also nodded and said, "That's right." He instructed: "You should eat or eat, this body is your own, and if it is ruined, no one will compensate you." ”
He persuaded Yinghan, then turned around and left her room, and Zheng Cheng followed out. He looked at Zhang Yi with a blank eye, and wanted to ask Zhang Yi what he was going to do in order to solve the current problem, but he felt that he was soft-spoken, and it was inconvenient to ask Zhang Yi directly. However, the knot of doubt in my heart was difficult to open for a while.
The next morning, Jing Chi came to visit Zhang Yi in accordance with the etiquette of entertaining VIPs from other countries. Zhang Yi invited him into his hall, and the two greeted each other. After that, Zhang Yi pretended to ask about a person casually, who was Jin Shang, the chief butler of the Prince's Mansion.
Jing Chi was a little surprised when he heard Jin Shang's name come out of Zhang Yi's mouth, and thought, "How could Zhang Yi think of Jin Shang?" ”
But soon Jing Chi figured it out, he thought that Zhang Yi must have seen Jin Shang at the summer banquet that year. Because at that time, Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of the prince's mansion, also came to the banquet and danced for the ministers. Jin Shang is the chief housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, so he naturally follows and takes care of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
Jing Chi's guess was not wrong at all, Zhang Yi knew the details of the prince's mansion from that time, he was framed by the prince Mi Huai and the doctor Qu Mu, and his hatred for them was unforgettable, how could he not think about how to retaliate against the other party?
But if you want to take revenge on your opponent, of course, you must understand the details of your opponent. He inquired about these information as early as when he was recuperating from his injuries in the small inn in Yingdu that year, and he even knew which tree in the prince's mansion was the largest.
Zhang Yi asked about Jin Shang, and Jing Chi naturally thought that he wanted to make friends with this person in order to get through the relationship between the prince, and in the end, he still had to achieve the good fortune of Qin and Chu. If you want to persuade the crown prince Mi Huai to take the path of his favorite concubine Zheng Sleeve, it can be regarded as finding the right direction.
Most of the ministers of the Chu State knew that the prince of Lu Dao was very fond of Zheng Sleeve. Zheng Sleeve said that the prince always obeyed his words, and he didn't know what kind of charm this woman had used on Mi Huai, which made the prince fascinated.
Zhang Yi then asked: "I don't know if Dr. Jingchi has anything important this morning, if there is nothing important, can you accompany me to find Jin Shang, I have something to give him." ”
Jing Chi received a great gift from Zhang Yi, and when he went home that day, he opened the camphor wood box given by Zhang Yi, and found that there was a hundred gold inside, as well as other jewels, jade, gold and other treasures, all of which were carved into exquisite images such as dragons and phoenixes and peacocks by skilled craftsmen, and they looked like one in a million good things.
Since Jing Chi became the concierge doctor who ushered in the delivery, he has gotten a lot of treasures in his interactions, which can be regarded as one of the unique advantages of the concierge doctor.
However, this generous gift from Zhang Yi was the first in his life, and Jing Chi couldn't help but be grateful to Zhang Yi, because these gifts were enough for him to have been heirloom for two generations. Jing Chi is already an old man, and he can't stay in this position for long, so he attaches great importance to leaving something valuable for his children.
Zhang Yi's gift can be described as a charcoal in the snow, which moved Jingchi a lot, and he felt that Zhang Yi was a loving and righteous person. Since returning to Chu State with Zhang Yi for the first time, he has been busy running for him. Of course, it was an accident on the summer night in Ling Yin Zhaoyang's mansion, but it was not his fault, he was still bent on saving Zhang Yi. Later, wasn't it because of his own letter delivery that he attracted Zhang Yi's senior brother Su Qin to rescue Zhang Yi!
Jing Chi was moved and grateful, and unconsciously regarded Zhang Yi as his friend, although he was not a caring person, but he was also a close friend.
Therefore, when Zhang Yi asked Jing Chi to help and take him to see Jin Shang, the chief housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, Jing Chi agreed, he thought: "Zhang Yi is going to give Jin Shang a gift, and it is not cold to take him with him, ordinary people still don't call the person who gives gifts, and Jin Shang, who is said to be a little greedy for money!" ”
Zhang Yi then offered Jingchi and followed him to the prince's mansion. Jing Chi thought that at this time in the morning, it was no accident that Jin Shang should be busy in the prince's mansion.
