Chapter 115: Merit that can't be snatched
The flood was handed over to Zhuo Chen to deal with, but he was limited to looking at the map and moving the sand table. The next day, Zhuo Chen also had a preliminary plan for controlling the floods, and planned to make a decision after presenting it to the emperor.
Who knew that when he arrived at the imperial study, he didn't see the emperor, so Zhuo Chen had to ask the palace maid who was sweeping in front of the palace.
"My father is not in the palace, I don't know where he went?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor has gone to see Concubine Shuniang, and she should still be in the palace of Concubine Shuniang at this time."
I went to Concubine Shu early in the morning, and I didn't know what I had to say. Zhuo Chen has long known about Concubine Shu's two-faced and three-faced, and he doesn't know what kind of stumbling block he is secretly putting on himself. also directly entered the palace of the concubine by asking for peace.
At this moment, Concubine Shu was talking to the emperor, and the expressions of the two did not look relaxed, and it seemed that they had not talked about it before.
Zhuo Chen took a step forward and bowed, saying goodbye.
"The son asked his father and mother to say goodbye, originally just to see the mother concubine, but I didn't know that my father was also there, it was really abrupt."
"It's all a family, what's abrupt. At this time, I just had breakfast with your father, chatting about all things in the palace, and I was talking about you, and you arrived just in time. Sit down and try this year's new tea. ”
Zhuo Chen didn't notice it at the moment, and a little palace maid outside the hall hurriedly ran away.
Within half an hour, Duanmu Yu entered King Wu's study and reported in a deep voice.
"Your Royal Highness, the eyeliner in the palace has come to report, His Royal Highness King Liang is talking to Concubine Niangniang and His Majesty in the palace at the moment. The villain guessed that it was related to the flood. ”
King Wu is a strong contender for the throne in the future, even so, he should leave more merits on weekdays, so as to satisfy the emperor, who knows that half of this flood control was robbed by Zhuo Chen.
The eyeliner placed in the palace brought back such a heart-stopping news, and King Wu was also full of unhappiness, and he stood up with his hands and let out a long breath, and couldn't help complaining.
"I just had something wrong in dealing with the flood, and who knew that my father was so partial, so he turned around and handed over the matter of dealing with the flood to the sick man. I want to see what tricks he plans to play, Duanmu, you stay in the mansion, and I will go into the palace to explore the truth. ”
King Wu set off to enter the palace, and at this moment, Concubine Shu was looking at Zhuo Chen with a distressed face. But Zhuo Chen is the adopted son of Concubine Shu after all, and the care at this moment is also fake care.
"Chen'er, your health has always been bad, this matter of controlling the flood is not just a paper talk after all, I will personally go to supervise the work later, I am afraid that your body will not be able to stand it, in case you are sick, and there is no one to take care of you alone. In my opinion, it's better to leave this errand to King Wu, right? ”
It turned out to be the idea, Zhuo Chen heard the meaning of Concubine Shu from these words, but it was not easy to express his position directly. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and replied.
"Mother, the son's body is fine, the father has already handed over this matter to the son, the son-in-law should do it with his heart, how can there be a reason to make his brother hard."
Zhuo Chen didn't plan to hand over this flood errand to King Wu, so it was hard to say it at the moment. Besides, King Wu had already gone wrong, and Zhuo Chen guessed that the emperor would not hand over the flood to him again.
The emperor knew Zhuo Chen's temperament, and he could only see what Zhuo Chen wanted him to see. It's just that he has always been humble and decent and never fights for merit, and he appreciates him a little more at the moment, smiling and nodding in approval.
"Well, well said. Shufei, Chen'er has grown up and can be on her own. You don't have to worry about his body, even if he leaves the royal city to supervise the sleeping dam, then Mo Yatou will definitely follow. That kid is sensible and has good medical skills, and he will definitely be able to take good care of Chen'er, so don't worry. ”
The Emperor had already said this clearly, and he did not intend to give in.
Concubine Shu also understood, and knew that she couldn't entangle anymore, so she had to answer according to his meaning.
"Yes, the children have grown up, and they don't have to worry about concubines. Your Majesty, you have also been with the concubine for a long time, and it is time to go back and see the excerpts. ”
After sending the emperor away, Zhuo Chen also got up to say goodbye.
"Mother, my son-in-law has to go back to study the matter of the embankment, so I won't accompany you."
Soon after Zhuo Chen left, King Wu rushed to the palace, and when he entered Concubine Shu's palace, he found that everyone had already left. Concubine Shu looked at King Wu, only felt that her heart was blocked, glanced at him and sighed lightly, and said a few words.
"You, if you don't work seriously, you can lose the errands that are handed over to you! It's good now, it's cheap Zhuo Chen. Do you know how dangerous this matter is? How many people have become hated through the ages of negligence! If Zhuo Chen becomes a king in the future, you will only be killed by him! ”
The emperor is partial, what can he do? King Wu just bowed his head and replied in resignation.
"It's just a matter of dealing with floods, and good governance doesn't mean anything. Just wait for other opportunities, the victory or defeat is not a moment, Erchen still has a chance. The lady lady is relieved, and the sons will not let you down. ”
In addition to such a promise, King Wu really didn't know what else to say.
"It's good that you understand, I'm tired too, go back quickly."
Concubine Shu knew that King Wu was very tired of life, and she had to be careful to watch out for Zhuo Chen at all times, and she had to bother to help the emperor deal with political affairs, but her life was not easy.
Born in the royal family, no one has a choice.
At the same time, Zhuo Chen had already returned to the palace, and seeing that Mo Shihuan was still tinkering with medicinal herbs, he sat directly beside her and reached out to grab her hand.
"Don't mess with that, get ready, and hit the road with me."
Zhuo Chen's hand was much bigger than hers, and he couldn't escape as soon as he was caught, but Mo Shihuan didn't plan to escape, he was just curious about what he was going to do. Bent his fingers and quietly scratched Zhuo Chen's palm, and when Zhuo Chen let go of her because he felt itchy, Mo Shihuan asked with a smile.
"On the road? Where to? ”
Mo Shihuan's eyes were full of herbs, and he didn't react for a while, turned sideways and looked at Zhuo Chen, who was dressed properly and neatly, before he thought that he had entered the palace today.
Zhuo Chen didn't sell it either, and confessed that he was ordered to deal with the flood, and then took Mo Shihuan into his arms with a smile on his face.
"My father knows that I am not in good health, and specially told you to take good care of me, so you must go with me on this trip."
It turned out that this was the case, Mo Shihuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she thought that Zhuo Chen would make a fool of herself, and then say that she would take it with her if she was reluctant to do so.
Who would have thought that it was because of an exhortation from the emperor...... The pink bubbles all over my head are gone.
Don't go far away, naturally prepare herbs to prevent accidents. Mo Shihuan stood up and began to work, looking for medicinal materials from the checkered cabinet against the wall one by one, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, when you go out, you have to bring so many medicinal herbs with you, and you have to look for it for a while, and it would be much more convenient if you could powder it as before...... Haven't set a departure time yet? I'll try to get all ready today. ”
