Chapter 376: Dialogue (1)
That afternoon, Zeng Rong stayed by Zhu Heng's side to have dinner with him, because the two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't want to say it to worry the other party, so both of them were a little ignorant of this meal.
After the meal, the two also discussed the mastermind behind the two mad dogs, at that time, Jiang Nan Jiangbei had gone to find the gangster and had not yet returned to the palace, even so, Zeng Rong thought that it was unlikely that Wang Fan did it.
She didn't trust Wang Fan, she trusted Li Man.
Li Man's personality Zeng Rong knows a little, this boy is not only honest and kind, but also very stable and generous, he can accept Wang Fan as a friend, Wang Fan's essence should not be bad to the root.
Wang Fan's problem must be there, domineering and unscrupulous, but it is really not easy to say that Zeng Rong is harming people behind his back, at least Li Man will never allow Wang Fan to do this, unless they separate immediately after leaving Zhu Heng.
But the fact is that Zeng Rong heard them say that they were going to Ju Mingxuan to find someone to gather and have a lively time, and Ju Mingxuan and the two mad dogs came out in the same direction.
Although Zhu Heng didn't know who the main envoy behind it was, he had doubts about Wang Fan, and after the Wang family forced Zeng Rong to come out and Queen Wang forced him to come out to do that ceremony, he didn't have a good impression of the Wang family.
Not to mention the grudge between Zeng Rong and the Wang family, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, she was destined to be unable to coexist peacefully with the Wang family, so she did not correct Zhu Heng's thoughts.
It wasn't done by Wang Fan, it could be Queen Wang or someone else in the Wang family.
Thinking of the rest of the Wang family, Zeng Rong mentioned the illness of Lord Xu, the case of the shortage of grain and grass in the military camps of the five northern cities, and the resistance to the reduction of agricultural mulberry taxes.
She didn't say anything superfluous, and most of Zhu Heng's thoughts were still on the person behind the scenes, and she didn't take Zeng Rong's words to heart.
But soon he understood why Zeng Rong would say this to him.
The next morning, Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan's morning shift was supposed to be, because the emperor still didn't need to go to the early court, Zeng Rong and the others didn't have to rush to Qianning Palace early in the morning, basically around the hour, ask the emperor about his sleep, and then ask the emperor from the mouth of the deacon and eunuch about the next arrangements, if there is no special thing, such as summoning the courtiers, announcing the imperial doctor, and leaving the palace in micro-service, etc., basically Zeng Rong and they don't have to stay by the emperor's side.
After all, the emperor also needs a little of his personal time.
But who knew that when Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan proposed to leave, the emperor opened his mouth and left her, leaving her alone.
After all the palace maids and eunuchs in the house went out, Zhu Xu was silent for a while, and then asked her: "I heard that you live with Zheng Zhangshi, have you ever seen her yesterday?" ”
It turned out that after he saw Zeng Rong yesterday afternoon, he specially ordered someone to find Zeng Taiyi to do acupuncture, and also ordered someone to inform the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and the Pharmacopoeia Bureau came to the woman surnamed Cui.
He was a little worried about Zheng Jiao, afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so he wanted to send a eunuch to take a look, but he didn't think about how to settle her, so he hesitated to go, so he delayed.
"Back to the emperor, I've seen it." Zeng Rong replied happily.
Yesterday afternoon, when she returned to Neisansuo from Zhu Heng, she packed a few exquisite dishes for Zheng Jiao, and when such a thing happened, Zeng Rong guessed that she must be hiding in the house and felt that she had no face to see people, so she was naturally not in the mood to eat.
In fact, Zeng Rong knocked on her door, and she was also startled when she saw that she was unkempt, only to know that she had been lying on the kang for a day, and it was estimated that she had not cried less, and her eyes were swollen into walnuts.
Zeng Rong truthfully described Zheng Jiao's miserable condition, but he didn't dare to say the specific reason, only said that she was recuperating, "Xia Guan originally wanted to ask for medical treatment for her, but Zheng Zhangshi said that he had seen a good situation, and he didn't need to bother others." Xiaguan wanted to stay with her, but she also refused, but fortunately, Xiaguan saw that she had eaten a lot of food, and it should be fine, so she went back to her house with peace of mind. ”
Zhu Xu heard that he was silent for a while, and after a while, he waved his hand, who knew that Zeng Rong had just walked to the door, and Zhu Xu kept her again, saying that he wanted her to accompany him to Cining Palace, in the name of a female historian.
The queen mother who Zhu Xu went to see first did not let Zeng Rong follow, Zeng Rong hesitated, did not go to see Zhu Heng, and stayed in the side hall of Cining Palace to sort out the copywriting.
After thinking about it again and again, she didn't record this conversation about Zheng Jiao, only recorded the emperor's sleep yesterday, and recorded that the emperor came to Cining Palace to ask for peace, as for what the content of the invitation was, she didn't hear it with her own ears and didn't dare to make it up.
However, she took advantage of this opportunity to sort out the previous copywriting, and it took only two or three sticks of incense to touch it, and a eunuch came to Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong returned to the main hall, Zhu Xu seemed a little surprised to learn that she was sorting out the copywriting in the side hall, and looked at her meaningfully for a while, but didn't say anything, and took the lead to the backyard.
Zhu Heng had not officially gotten up at that time, but he did not lie down, but leaned on the kang, holding a book and reading, when he heard the eunuch's message, saying that the emperor had arrived, his first reaction was that he was frightened rather than surprised.
His father rarely visited his residence, let alone so early in the morning, so he quickly became associated with the events of yesterday.
Zhu Xu learned that Zhu Heng had not yet gotten off the kang, but he was not angry, and went directly into his bedroom, but before entering, he ordered Zeng Rong to stay in the outer hall, and also warned several eunuchs not to reveal Zeng Rong's presence, nor to stay in the room, he only took Chang Dezi in.
Zeng Rong had no objection to this, before she came, the emperor made clear her identity, a female historian, so she quickly found her position, spread out the record book in her hand on the high table, opened the ink box she brought, and began to listen attentively.
In another room, this father-son conversation also began.
Zhu Xu first cared about Zhu Heng, asked him if he slept well last night, and after getting a reply, he asked him if he was happy when he left the palace yesterday, whether he was happy, and if there were any special interesting things.
"Back to my father, there are no special interesting things, but there are special frightes." Zhu Heng said.
Jiangnan Jiangbei had already talked back and forth last night, saying that the gangster had not been found, so they went to find the mad dog owner again, and learned from the mad dog owner that there was another group of people who had looked for them, Zhu Heng didn't know that the group of people was sent out by the Queen Mother to protect him, he thought it was his father or the woman, and it was not the Wang family.
"Your imperial grandmother has told me about this, you don't have to worry, I will take care of it for you." Zhu Xu regretted bringing up this topic a little.
The Empress Dowager has already mentioned this matter, although the old man has no evidence to identify anyone, it is an indisputable fact that someone attacked Zhu Heng, for this reason, the old man was angry, blaming him for being a father who does not care for his son, so those people dared to hurt Zhu Heng again and again.
Zhu Xu knew who the Queen Mother was implicit, but he didn't dare to refute it, he was like a mirror in his heart, the master behind him couldn't escape those two or three, but no matter who it was, he couldn't deal with it now.
