Huo Sijin rubbed her eyebrows, provoking the crown prince Chu Zheng, she may have dug a big hole for herself.

"Mama, you go out first, I'm tired."

Mama Xi saw that Huo Sijin's face was entangled, and knew that she was worried about something and needed to stay alone for a while, so she immediately nodded and responded, "The slave went out first." ”

Before he could take a step, he couldn't help but add, "Young Master, the slave maid's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite gentle, and it won't be difficult for others to think about it, so don't worry too much." ”

Mama Xi watched Huo Sijin grow up, and when she saw her worried, she couldn't help but feel distressed. Whether Chu Zheng will be embarrassed for Huo Sijin, Mama Xi is not sure, but she always thinks of comforting one or two, maybe she can help Huo Sijin relieve her sorrows a little.

Huo Sijin understood what Mama Xi meant, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a pale smile, Chu Zheng's demeanor and words were indeed quite gentle, but this did not mean that Chu Zheng was a kind person.

Probably because after she came back, her heart was full of hatred for Chu Li and Huo Zhirou, so much so that she forgot how afraid she was of Chu Zheng in the past.

In his previous life, even if Huo Sijin was the prime minister of the head of a hundred officials, whenever he faced Chu Zheng, he couldn't help but feel afraid, and the chill couldn't help but ooze out of his bones.

It's just that she doesn't understand, why would Chu Zheng want to take her under his command? According to her understanding of Chu Zheng, he never used useless people. If Huo Sijin was the prime minister at this time, then Chu Zheng intended to recruit her as a strategist, she could still understand, but now Huo Sijin is clearly nothing, what does Chu Zheng like about her?

What did Chu Zheng fancy about Huo Sijin, this question is not only Huo Sijin has questions, but Zheng Changdong is also the same.

in the prince's tent

Zheng Changdong said to Chu Zheng: "Your Highness, although Huo Gongzi is the concubine of the Jingbei Marquis Mansion, but the Jingbei Marquis favors his wife, Huo Gongzi is not of much use to His Royal Highness, why do you want to take him under the door, Your Highness?" ”

Zheng Changdong is the first guard by Chu Zheng's side and Chu Zheng's henchman, who has always been alert and steady. In his opinion, Huo Sijin has the reputation of the concubine of the Marquis of Jingbei, but he has no facts, he may be smart, but he is not to the point of being amazing, such a person does not seem to be worthy of Chu Zheng's personal recruitment.

What's more, Chu Zheng personally spoke out to solicit him, but this Huo Gongzi's attitude was evasive, hesitant, and it was clear that he was unwilling.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a person, he really can't afford to have a reputation of being a strong man because of the son of the Huo family.

Chu Zheng's face sank, "When can the decision of this palace be questioned?" The voice was cold and piercing.

He annoyed His Highness!

Zheng Changdong's heart tightened, a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his back, and he hurriedly knelt down towards Chu Zheng, "Don't dare to be humble." ”

Rao is like this, Zheng Changdong still has doubts in his heart, although Chu Zheng is strict, he has followed Chu Zheng for many years, and there are few like today, because he reprimanded coldly when he said a word.

Doubts are doubts, since His Royal Highness has already been angry, Zheng Changdong will only suppress doubts in his heart. It is clear that His Highness will not allow him to talk too much.

Chu Zheng didn't ask him to blame, but said lightly: "Huo Changjin's past has been clarified?" ”

When he got up this morning, Chu Zheng suddenly ordered Zheng Changdong to find out all the past of Huo Changjin from childhood to adulthood.

Zheng Changdong immediately nodded, "It's already been investigated." Huo Changjin is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingbei, and his biological mother Yang is the original wife of the Marquis of Jingbei, but she is not favored, and even Huo Changjin is the eldest son, but she is not loved by the Marquis of Jingbei. If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Jingbei had no other sons, I am afraid that there would be no place for Huo Changjin in the Marquis of Jingbei's mansion. ”

"Huo Changjin was taught by Taixue and is quite talented, but he is not the most outstanding, and he doesn't often deal with people, so he is very low-key."

In other words, Huo Sijin is very mediocre.

This is exactly the case, Chu Zheng personally deigned to drive and made a statement to recruit Huo Sijin, Zheng Zheng Changdong really couldn't understand.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's expression did not change, and what Zheng Changdongruo said was similar to what he knew.

"What enemies does Huo Changjin have?" Chu Zheng asked again.

Zheng Changdong thought for a while and replied: "Huo Gongzi is a low-key person, and he never conflicts with others outside. Those who have a grudge against him think that there are probably only the second lady of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, Zhou's mother and daughter. ”

"The Marquis of Jingbei favors the Zhou family, and treats the main room and the concubine as nothing, and it is impossible for Huo Gongzi and Zhou's mother and daughter to get along harmoniously. A few days ago, Huo Gongzi rolled down the hillside, which was done by Huo Zhirou, the daughter of the Zhou family. ”

Since ancient times, there have always been disputes between concubines, and open guns and hidden arrows have never been indispensable, let alone the situation of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

"A concubine almost killed him, and Huo Changjin was too weak." Chu Zheng's eyes froze, and a cold light burst out in his cold eyes, but he didn't know who this chill was for.

Zheng Changdong thought of something again, "Your Highness, there is one more thing, the second lady of the Jingbei Hou Mansion has been pregnant for more than a month, and this fetus is very likely to be a male, which is probably the reason why Miss Huo is in a hurry to attack Huo Gongzi." ”

Chu Zheng sneered, "It's only been more than a month to know if it's a man or a woman?" ”

If the woman is pregnant, a wise doctor may be able to diagnose the male and female sexes, and then it will be several months before the fetus has already been formed.

"Even if the Zhou family gives birth to a son, Huo Changjin is not a stupid person, and this palace doesn't believe that he has no way at all!"

Zheng Changdong explained: "Your Highness doesn't know, Huo Gongzi's situation is too bad to be loved by his father, his mother Yang is weak, and the Yang family has long been in decline, so he can't help anything." On the contrary, Zhou's maiden brother Zhou Jinzhi Zhou is like a fish in water in officialdom and has a high status. If the Zhou family gives birth to a son, I am afraid that the position of the prince of the Jingbei Hou Mansion will fall on the son of the Zhou family. ”

The title of Houfu is inherited by the son-in-law, and most of the time it is inherited by the eldest son, but the specific son-in-law is more determined by the marquis. Zhou is a flat wife, and in name, the son she gave birth to also accounts for half of the son, so she is naturally also qualified to inherit the marquis.

A sarcastic light flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes, "Spoil the concubine and kill the wife, such a person is also worthy of the title of marquis!" ”

Zheng Changdong looked at Chu Zheng's expression in his eyes, and suddenly understood why Chu Zheng wanted to recruit Huo Sijin, isn't it because he found common ground in Huo Sijin?

Chu Zheng is the emperor's original match Empress Yuanjing Xie Shi, since the death of Empress Yuanjing, followed by Yao and the fifth prince Chu Heng, these years have made a stumbling block for Chu Zheng, and now there is a third prince Chu Li who is secretly bad.

From this point of view, Chu Zheng and Huo Sijin are in a similar situation, Zheng Changdong thought, maybe this is the reason why His Royal Highness looks at Huo Sijin differently.

However, the truth is not what Zheng Changdong thinks......
