Chapter 269: Unbelief

Although Zhu Heng didn't have much hope for his legs, in the face of Zeng Rong, who was unusual, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

From this day on, Zeng Rong will go to the medicine garden from time to time to pick some wormwood and send it to Cining Palace, which is said to be to repel mosquitoes, and will also take the excess wormwood to dry and keep it for backup, and will also learn to make moxa sticks with Cui Yuanhua, but unfortunately, she will not be able to moxibustion.

The emperor hasn't troubled Zeng Rong these days, but he will find a reason to let Zeng Rong go to Cining Palace every once in a while, either to send vegetables or fresh fruits, Cui Yuanhua is not curious about this, but she knocked on the side twice, and Zeng Rong turned it over, so she didn't ask more.

Zhu Heng didn't know whether he had figured it out or accepted Zeng Rong's persuasion, he was very cooperative during this time, whether it was taking medicine or eating, he also followed Zeng Rong's suggestion, every night before going to bed, he would use wormwood to soak a stick of incense on his feet, and use a knee-high wooden bucket to cover his calves and stomachs, but it had no effect.

It's also strange to say, after the ceremony, the illness of the tenth prince Zhu Shen was really cured, for this reason, the queen moved back to Kunning Palace, and rewarded the master of no anger and a group of monks, of course, I didn't forget Zhu Heng, the biggest hero, learned that Zhu Heng needed to regulate his body, and sent a lot of supplements into Cining Palace.

On this day, the third day of the fifth lunar month, because she was thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Zeng Rongwei really wanted to ask for leave to go out to visit Ahua, and by the way, she asked Cui Yuanhua for half a day off.

Although Cui Yuanhua is her subordinate, Zeng Rong has basically obeyed the emperor's dispatch these days, how dare she easily grant her leave? Only let her go to the emperor.

Zeng Rong didn't want to alarm the emperor because of this matter, but if Cui Yuanhua didn't spit out, she couldn't go out, there was no way, she had to enter Qianning Palace.

It is rare to open his mouth to the emperor once, Zeng Rong gritted his teeth and asked for a day off, the reason is that he wants to stay with his sister for one night, since she entered the palace, he and his sister have gathered less and separated more, and her sister is just seven years old, and she left home at a young age, Zeng Rong doesn't know what she has learned in the past six months, what people she has befriended, and what her heart is, she is very concerned.

Zhu Xu listened to these words, and looked at her with a lot of interest for a long time, Zeng Rong couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and when he was about to change his mouth to half a day, the emperor finally spit out, and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

Zeng Rong didn't know if it was too long a day to take an example, or if she shouldn't ask for leave to go out, but she couldn't take care of this, so she happily went back to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau to inform Cui Yuanhua first, took her token, and then went back to her residence to pack up some things, and hurriedly left the palace from the side door.

Half an hour later, Zeng Rong stood in front of the gate of the Xu family, and when he was inviting the porter brother to pass the news, a navy blue official sedan chair came outside the gate, and Mr. Xu went down.

Zeng Rong followed Mr. Xu into the inner courtyard, Mrs. Xu was very surprised to see Zeng Rong, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Zeng Rong's hand and looked at it carefully, and praised Zeng Rong for being tall and beautiful, and ordered someone to serve her sour plum soup and watermelon to quench her thirst, and did not forget to order someone to call Zeng Hua.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Mr. Xu interrupted his wife's chatter.

"That's right, it's easy for you to come back, let's get down to business first." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she glanced at a few maids around her, and the maids went out quietly.

"Tell me, aren't you going to Cining Palace, how did you get into the inner chamberlain?" It was Xu Fushan who asked.

Hearing the news brought by Ziluo, he thought at first that Ziluo had misremembered, the inner chamberlain was not so easy to enter, Zeng Rong was a country girl, only a year into the city, only half a year into the palace, and she was able to jump from a little embroidery girl to a female official of the inner chamberlain, what happened to this?

Zeng Rong learned his experience of entering the inner prison, to be honest, if it weren't for the queen and the imperial concubine, the possibility of Zeng Rong entering the inner prison is indeed not very large, and it is no wonder that Xu Fushan does not believe it.

Not only that, Zeng Rong also recounted what happened in Yaohua Palace twice, this time, Xu Fushan did not answer easily, but stroked his beard and thought about it, but when Mrs. Xu heard that Yu Meiren was pregnant, she thought of the rumors over the years, and blurted out: "Shouldn't the imperial concubine want to calculate that child again?" But why did she target you? You've only been there for a few days? ”

Xu Fushan glanced at his wife, turned to Zeng Rong, and asked, "You shouldn't have hidden something and didn't say anything, right?" ”

Zeng Rong thought that Xu Fushan was asking Zhu Heng, and was about to speak, only to see the other party ask again: "How many times have you met the emperor?" ”

When Zeng Rong heard this, he remembered that he missed the fish-sting incident for the first time, and the subsequent reward that he didn't wait for was to be punished for kneeling for two hours, Zeng Rong really couldn't figure it out at first, but now he understands a little, perhaps, the emperor is doing it for the imperial concubine.

It's just that in this way, she can't understand it anymore, the emperor and the imperial concubine are not of the same mind, is this possible?

"You kid, you are really bold, the first time you saw the emperor, you dared to reach out and grab the fish bone, if something happens, how can it be good?" Old Madam Xu was afraid for a while.

Xu Fushan shook his head, what he couldn't figure out was not Zeng Rong's recklessness, but why the emperor would ask Zeng Rong, who was close to each other, to go to the fish bone instead of going to find a female doctor.

As for the punishment afterwards, Xu Fushan was noncommittal, mainly because he had not yet spied the whole picture of this matter, and it was really impossible to conclude the emperor's intentions based on this act alone.

Zeng Rong hesitated slightly, and after being punished that day, the emperor sent her to Cining Palace to see the queen mother, and the queen mother told her teachings again, and also mentioned the emperor's later gifts, mentioned the first queen's ceremony, mentioned that the emperor ordered her to accompany the queen mother to Puji Temple to draw lots, and so on.

"You, didn't you just know the emperor? The emperor is so easy to speak? Mrs. Xu intuitively felt that there should be something else here, and suddenly, she remembered Zhu Heng who met in the back garden on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, "Shouldn't it be the second prince and you... ”

Mrs. Xu didn't finish the next words, mainly because Zeng Rong was too young, and the identity of the second prince was too special, she was afraid that she would make a mistake and hurt Zeng Rong.

"I really can't hide anything from the old lady, and I was somehow caught up in the Queen Mother's phase." Zeng Rong smiled bitterly.

This time, Zeng Rong concealed the first encounter between her and Zhu Heng, and it was not good for Zhu Heng to know too many people.

"Tell you the truth, did you do all this painstakingly calculated, did you think about today since you came to the countryside?" Xu Fushan shouted.

This kid takes every step so well, so accurately, so big, if it is said that it is unintentional, Xu Fushan categorically does not believe it.

But if it was painstakingly calculated, he didn't believe it, one was Zeng Rong's experience and vision, and the other was Zeng Rong's knowledge and age.

If it is said that Zeng Rong has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, waiting for the day when he enters the palace and flies on the branches to be a phoenix, it is more credible.
