Speaking of guarding against Zhu Heng, the Queen Mother felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple.

Zhu Heng is a disabled person, there is no reason why he will stand in the way of Zhu Wu, is it necessary for that woman to kill them all like this?

Even if Heng'er's legs may have been inseparable from that woman back then, there is no evidence for this matter, and the second is that too much time has passed, even if Heng'er wants to pursue it, he has more than enough heart and strength, right?

This child can be said to have no power in the palace except for her, let alone harming people, and he can't even protect himself.

This is also an important reason why she persuaded him to cooperate with the queen to do that ritual, she can protect him for another three or five years, but after all, she can't protect him for the rest of his life, so she thinks about finding a backer for him again, if the two can join forces, they may not be able to suppress Tong Yao's woman.

I didn't know that she had just calculated Tong Yao in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Tong Yao wanted to make up for it from Zeng Rong.

It turned out that at the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation banquet, she gave the pair of jade bracelets to Queen Wang and said that she hoped that she would do more for the royal family, Tong Yao began to stir up trouble again, and occupied the emperor for several nights in a row.

On the other hand, I heard that the woman had recently been so virtuous to the poppies in her palace that she was constantly sending all kinds of ingredients and supplements to her, and often accompanied her to the back garden for a walk after dinner, saying that it was beneficial to future production.

To put it bluntly, don't you just want to pretend to be virtuous?

After so many years, she knows this woman too well, don't look at the sweetness of the smile on her face, her heart is ruthless.

If it weren't for her, would there be no heirs in the palace for so many years ago?

Speaking of heirs, the Queen Mother thought of Zhu Heng again, not to mention the existing grandchildren, just the children who are still in the mother's womb, if they are born as boys, I am afraid that the threat will be greater than Heng'er, right? I haven't seen that woman so concerned, why can't she let go of Zhu Heng alone?

It's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't ask this, otherwise, Zeng Rong could have given her an answer.

After appeasing the Queen Mother for a few words, Zeng Rong entered Zhu Heng's house, Zhu Heng was having dinner at that time, Zeng Rong was not polite to him, and sat down directly, Xiao Luzi hurriedly prepared a pair of dishes for her.

"Shouldn't you be on an errand in Qianning Palace?" Zhu Heng saw that Zeng Rong's face was not as happy as usual, thought for a while, and asked.

"Eat without words." Zeng Rong didn't want to spoil his appetite.

When Zhu Heng heard this, he put down the chopsticks, Zeng Rong saw that the fish on the plate didn't move much, so he hurriedly picked up the thorns from the belly of the two fish and sent them to his plate, Zhu Heng opened his mouth, and saw that Zeng Rong really ignored him, so he had to pick up the chopsticks again.

Zeng Rong's afterglow looked at him, and when he finished eating the two pieces of fish belly, he picked up his bowl and served him a bowl of cordyceps duck soup.

After the meal was over, Zhu Heng asked Xiao Luzi to pack up his things, and at this time, Amei came back, made two cups of tea and sent them up, and under Zhu Heng's instructions, he retreated outside to guard.

This time, without waiting for Zhu Heng to ask, Zeng Rong opened her mouth herself, saying that she had offended Tong Yao's mother and son, and came to ask the Queen Mother for protection.

The main reason is that she is afraid that this matter will reach Zhu Heng's ears through the mouths of some well-intentioned people, with Zhu Heng's personality, he will definitely not seek Zeng Rong for verification at the first time, but will only get angry silently and silently can't get along with himself.

Rather than this, it is better for her to confess everything, if he believes her, he will help her to think about carrying this matter together.

"You mean your father helped you lie?" Zhu Heng grasped the point of Zeng Rong's words and asked with a sneer.

"Yes, Ah Heng, I feel that I can't understand the emperor more and more."

Zeng Rong had this doubt for a long time.

According to her understanding in her previous life, the emperor would rather offend the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the first assistant of the cabinet, and even challenge the traditional inheritance system of concubines in the face of the world's disapproval, and send Zhu Wu, who is a concubine, to that position, he is absolutely true love and the only true love for Zhu Wu and the imperial concubine.

But now the reality is a certain gap from her imagination.

Although the imperial concubine still favors the harem, the emperor is not without others in his heart, that day in the back garden, the emperor holding Yu Bing's hand is also affectionate, not to mention, this time, there are other women in the palace who are pregnant.

That's it, who calls someone the emperor?

But it is not normal for the emperor to cooperate with her to lie to deceive the imperial concubine and Zhu Wu, and this is not the first time, otherwise, Zeng Rong would not have the courage to dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of him.

Could it be that Zhu Wu's ascension to the throne in the previous life had something else?

Zhu Heng sighed when he saw Zeng Rong, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned his head on the armrest of the wheelchair, and smiled sarcastically, "I couldn't understand it before, but now I understand." ”

"What do you mean?" Zeng Rong asked.

Zhu Heng sat upright and pointed to the second drawer on his desk, Zeng Rong walked over and opened the drawer, on which lay a letter, there was no header on the letter and no payment, but the letter was opened.

Zeng Rong picked up the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, first looked at the head of the head is "nephew such as well", and then glanced at the payment, it is "uncle", the date is on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then look at the text, the whole article did not mention half a word of the royal family, only said that he had just received a letter from the old servant at home, and then he learned that the nephew had been troubled by Shen for many years, and they were far away, and they were soft-spoken, and they were not able to protect him, which violated the trust of the elders, and he was very ashamed, so he could only ask for forgiveness.

Later, they mentioned one more thing, they heard that the imperial court was going to raise the commercial tax and handicraft tax, so at the end of June, someone found them to lobby, hoping that their Qian clan could take the lead in raising their arms and supporting the government, and the person also mentioned the brother-in-law's love for his nephew, saying that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the brother-in-law took his nephew to pray for rain in the temple.

The meaning beyond the words is overflowing.

But the question is, although the Qian family is a Jiangnan family, most of the Qian family is involved in farmland, silkworm breeding and fishing, which should all belong to the category of tax reduction, but the local officials do not mention anything about these, what does this mean?

Therefore, at the end of the letter, the uncle asked whether the Qian family should come out of this way.

"What do you mean the emperor is using you?" Zeng Rong asked.

Intuitively, she believed that the emperor would not be so despicable, most likely because someone misinterpreted his meaning or someone used this matter to obstruct him.

"You don't believe me?" Zhu Heng smiled again.

Before, their father and son were comparable to strangers, and they couldn't speak ten words a year, but during the Dragon Boat Festival in Puji Temple, that person not only brought him to the civil and military officials, but also accompanied him to incense, took him to the sacrificial platform, took him to worship together, and accompanied him on a boat trip to the lake.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong, when did that person look at him squarely, and when did he say a good word to him?

But the emperor's grandmother said that people will change, and as they get older, they will become more and more soft-hearted and more missive, no matter what, he is his eldest son, and his biological mother is his wife.
