In fact, what Zhu Heng didn't tell Zeng Rong was that he was uncomfortable not because of the pain in his calf, but because his calf was rubbed against his leather clothes and was somewhat dusty, if the Queen Mother knew, Zeng Rong and the others would definitely be implicated.

And Zeng Rong also went down the city wall, and when he saw Amei coming over to pat the dust on the hem of his clothes for Zhu Heng, he realized this problem, fortunately, it was just a layer of floating dust, Rao was so, and there were still some marks on the hem.

Without waiting for Zeng Rong to ask, Ah Mei looked at the mark and bit her lip for a while, and complained to Zeng Rong: "This is bad, you must be punished." ”

"It's okay, you also need to kneel down when you get to Kunning Palace for a while, if the imperial grandmother asks, she will say that it was soiled in Kunning Palace, how many of you can remember?" Zhu Heng swept over everyone one by one and asked.

"I can't hide the injury on my leg." Xiao Haizi muttered.

"If you don't say it, how can the imperial grandmother know? Besides, the injury is not obvious, and when I look back, I say that I accidentally hit the desk or something. ”

As soon as Zhu Heng said this, Zeng Rong remembered the last time Zhu Heng knocked on the corner of the table, because there were only two of them in the room, Zhu Heng didn't let her lift her trouser legs, Zeng Rong was not embarrassed to insist, and I don't know if he was injured that time.

"Do you often have injuries on your legs?" Zeng Rong asked him.

"No, I'm usually very careful, Fang Cai is inexperienced, it's inevitable the first time, and then it's fine." Zhu Heng smiled.

Later, Zeng Rong pushed the wheelchair, Xiao Haizi and Xiao Luzi protected him, Zhu Heng finally got over the addiction of flying kites, watching the kite above his head rise and fall under his own control, far and near, Zhu Heng's face had an innocent smile like a child.

If everything Zeng Rong did before was out of his own selfishness and sympathy for Zhu Heng, as well as his commitment to Qin Chuxue and the pressure from the Queen Mother, but at that moment, Zeng Rong flashed a thought for the first time, she wanted to do something for this person, she wanted to keep the smile on his face, nothing to do with others, only for himself.

But there is one thing Zeng Rong also knows very well, she has sympathy and pity for him, and she knows that he understands him, but she has no love between men and women.

This feeling is a bit strange, it seems that unconsciously, Zeng Rong regarded him as his younger brother, a rare wisp of warmth in the harem that does not need to be calculated or guarded, can be warm to each other, protect each other, for Zeng Rong, it is also precious.

"You pay more attention to yourself, you will go to Kunning Palace in a while, and you will return to the wheelchair after the launching ceremony, the futon is too low, and it is not good for your legs and feet to sit for a long time, you are a sick person, the Bodhisattva will not blame you, and the first queen will not, she will only feel more sorry for you." Zeng Rong admonished.

"You don't..." Zhu Heng wanted to ask Zeng Rong, "You don't accompany me over", but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "You don't have to send me medicine in the afternoon, I'll go back to Cining Palace and drink it again." ”

He was worried that Zeng Rong's departure would inevitably alarm Queen Wang and that woman, and then bring trouble to Zeng Rong, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Okay, got it." Zeng Rong really didn't want to enter Kunning Palace.

Because Xuanzhaotai is relatively close to the Shanggong Bureau, and Zeng Rong is using the excuse of coming out with Zhu Heng, she did not leave with Zhu Heng, but turned to the Shanggong Bureau and went to see Qin Chuxue first.

When Zeng Rong arrived, Qin Chuxue was walking around the yard, she was waiting for Xiaocui, Xiaocui went to the harem early in the morning to inquire about Zhu Heng's news, Qin Chuxue couldn't sit still in the house, so she had to wait in the yard.

Knowing that Zeng Rong had just accompanied Zhu Heng back from flying a kite, Qin Chuxue grabbed Zeng Rong and asked about Zhu Heng's recent situation, as well as about the arrangements for this ceremony, and about Zhu Shen's illness and the emperor's attitude.

Zeng Rong pushed her into the house and told her in detail about the events of the past few days, including the illness of the Ten Princes, the appearance of Imperial Physician Lu, Zhu Heng's refusal, yesterday's Puji Temple and his party, the advice of the abbot master, Zhu Heng's relief, etc., the focus is on the lottery drawn by Zhu Heng yesterday and the interpretation of the nine words.

"Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness is not completely forced, he said that he hopes that through this ceremony, the first queen can let go of her obsessions, let go of the past, and reincarnate, therefore, he is not for the ten princes, but for his mother."

Qin Chuxue originally didn't believe in what the resentful spirits said, but when she learned that Zhu Heng's signature was Mulian saving her mother, she was also a little shaken.

"Are you sure you didn't do anything when you drew lots?" Qin Chuxue asked.

Zeng Rong shook his head, she was not present at the time of the draw, but with Zhu Heng's cleverness, the other party should not be able to fool him at this point, besides, the Queen Mother was still present.

"By the way, Aunt Qin, there is one thing I want to ask, after the second prince fell into the well, did he have any sensation in his legs?" Zeng Rong was concerned about this and asked.

When Qin Chuxue heard this, she grabbed Zeng Rong's hand again, "What rumors have you heard?" ”

Zeng Rong hurriedly reassured: "No, Aunt Qin, don't be nervous, I just want to ask, I happened to read the medical books in the past few days, and I saw those medicinal materials that invigorate blood and pass through menstruation, and I thought of this question." ”

Qin Chuxue was suddenly disappointed, let go of Zeng Rong, and thought back carefully.

According to her, in the first year or so, Zhu Heng's legs were still conscious, most of the time they were numb, and it would hurt if they were bumped, but with the progress of treatment, as the longer he stayed in bed, his perception became weaker and weaker, until it was almost nothing.

"The weather is warmer and better, after helping him massage, there will be a little numbness, it is difficult to say that it is cold in winter, it will take a long time to massage before it is possible to feel a little conscious, these months I live in Cining Palace, Aunt Wang is not by his side, and I don't know if he insists on doing massage." Qin Chuxue became worried again.

"Aunt Qin, don't worry, I will pass on the words for you." Zeng Rong hurriedly replied.

"By the way, you said that you have been taking care of His Second Highness at the behest of the emperor these days, so did the emperor say that you should go back to Cining Palace?" Qin Chuxue asked suddenly.

She didn't understand the emperor's intentions.

went around in a big circle, alarmed so many people, injured the Queen Mother, and snatched Zeng Rong away, it was only a few days, and Zeng Rong was sent back to the Queen Mother, could it be that the emperor's conscience found out and wanted to compensate this son?

But if the emperor really had this intention, he shouldn't have forced Zhu Heng to do this ritual, it was obvious that it was the two women who fought to envelop Zhu Heng in.

If you really want to believe that it is the resentful spirit of the former queen, the emperor should show his sincerity and ask the master to appease the first queen, because the one who is most sorry for the first queen and owes the first queen the most is the emperor himself!

But it was good for him, for the sake of his own reputation, and for the sake of taking himself out, that he actually arranged this ritual in the name of eliminating evil, and put a good woman who was gentle, frugal, kind, tolerant, and compassionate with the shackles of evil and resentful spirits, so that she would not be at peace after her death.
