When Empress Dowager Zhang saw the terrifying gaze in Zhengde's eyes, she was also shocked, and she made up her mind to completely control Zhengde, so she said: "Okay, Your Majesty, the matter of Duke Liu is here! Whether he is loyal or traitorous, we just need to investigate, that is! It's just that you also know that we have a lot of royal affairs, and there are some things, so don't take it to heart!"

The meaning of this is that if Liu Jin is loyal to the royal family and loyal to Zhengde, he will tell Zhengde to turn a blind eye and not to delve into it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If it was before, Zhengde did the same. After all, there are many affairs in the world, and not everything can be fair. With a wicked slave like Liu Jin taking care of the house, the master can also sleep peacefully, which is one of the reasons why the emperors of the past dynasties were important eunuchs.

It's just that Zhengde has experienced the incident in Yujiazhuang, coupled with the fact that the main hall was controlled, and his trust in Liu Jin has been reduced to below freezing.

Although now in the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, he is not good at saying too much about Liu Jin, but he will not be persuaded by the Empress Dowager Zhang's words, just pursed his lips and did not speak.

Empress Dowager Zhang also knew Zhengde very well, and when she saw him pursing her lips and saying nothing, she roughly understood what he was thinking, so she didn't talk about Liu Jin anymore, but talked about other things.

Immediately, he thought of something again, and said, "Oh, why hasn't the Korean ginseng chicken soup come yet?" These people are too bad at doing things, so the mourning family has to send someone to ask......

Zhengde, who had never spoken, could hear the Empress Dowager Zhang, but pointed to the case at hand and said, "Queen Mother, the chicken soup has been delivered, and I will drink it according to your thoughts!"

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was just about to have a seizure, couldn't help but follow the sound when she heard the words, and just saw the chicken soup bowl that was already a lot shallower, but a happy color between her eyebrows couldn't help but bloom.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the strange joy on Empress Dowager Zhang's face, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and asked, "Queen Mother, what are you laughing at? Can't I drink this chicken soup?"

"Naturally not, this chicken soup was originally stewed for you by the mourning family, how could you not let you drink it! Come, since you have drunk it, drink more and make up for it, the mourning family doesn't want your body to be as weak as the first emperor!" Empress Dowager Zhang said while holding the soup bowl diligently and handing it to Zhengde.

Although it felt extremely strange to the meaningful smile of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Emperor Zhengde had lost his vigilance against the Empress Dowager Zhang at this time, and immediately did not shirk, picked up the soup bowl and drank two sips, then smashed his mouth and said, "It's a little salty." ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhang ignored it, but said, "Xu is imperial chef has been a little lazy recently, and the mourning family will order someone to reprimand the imperial chef later!"

If it is as usual, Zhengde said that it is salty, and the Empress Dowager Zhang will usually try it in person and then make a final conclusion. But this time, she knew that there was an ingredient in this chicken soup, so she didn't dare to try it, so she shirked it.

Zhengde, who didn't have any suspicions, looked back a little, couldn't help but glance at the soup bowl in his hand, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang a little strangely.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Empress Dowager Zhang was a little furious in Zhengde's heart, and immediately asked.

"Queen Mother, this soup is salty!" Zhengde said again.

"Oh!" Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes flashed a trace of unease, and she quietly moved her figure, a little far away from Zhengde, and said, "The mourning family will personally reprimand today's imperial chef in a while, Your Majesty don't worry!"

"No!" Emperor Zhengde also found that Empress Dowager Zhang was a little far away from him, he was shocked and shocked, and vaguely understood something, and immediately said, "In the past, I said that this soup was salty or light, and you would taste it after the queen mother, and then come to a conclusion, why don't you taste it today?"

"No!" Hearing that Zhengde was going to taste the chicken soup with the ingredients, Empress Dowager Zhang's face was a little ugly all of a sudden, she staggered up from the chair, kept waving her hand at Zhengde, and said, "Today, the queen mother is unwell and can't drink chicken soup, you should drink this soup!"

"What's wrong with the queen mother? The child has never heard the imperial doctor talk about the queen mother's stubborn illness that causes her to not be able to drink chicken soup?" At this point, even if Zhengde is a fool, he can see that something is wrong, so he can't help but put down the chicken soup and stand up with a solemn expression.

Empress Dowager Zhang saw that she was about to see the dagger, and she was also quite panicked in her heart, and she didn't dare to look directly at Zhengde, but just quibbled: "It's just a small problem, the mourning family knows that Your Majesty has every opportunity, so they ordered the imperial doctor not to report it to you, so you don't know!"

"Queen Mother...... "Zhengde doesn't know where he is, there must be something wrong in this chicken soup, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhang is still not speaking, he can't help but jump like thunder, and said angrily, "If you tell the truth, we still have a bit of mother-son friendship, if not......

"If not, what will Your Majesty do?" When Zhengde was angry and Empress Dowager Zhang was uneasy and ashamed, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded, and in a blink of an eye, I saw that behind Empress Dowager Zhang, I don't know when there was a thin figure, obviously this voice came from his mouth.

"Liu Jin?" Seeing the person's face, Zhengde couldn't help but change his face and said, "You ......"

Immediately, she looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang beside Liu Jin, understood in an instant, nodded, and said, "I see, you actually conspired with Liu Jin to frame me?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the soup bowl again, looked at Liu Jin and Empress Dowager Zhang, and asked, "I only have three questions, can you answer me?"

"First question, do you want to ask if you are the queen mother's parent?" Liu Jin smiled sneeringly, and asked directly without waiting for his answer.

"That's good!" Zhengde knew that he had been plotted, Liu Jin's martial arts, he understood it, and he simply stopped resisting, just thinking that he could know some of the questions he had been having before he was completely recruited.

"Well, for your sake, I'll tell you!" Liu Jin only felt that everything was under his control, and couldn't help but be complacent, just wanting to fulfill the wish of this little emperor before he was controlled.

It's just that although he wanted to agree, the Empress Dowager Zhang on the side didn't want to reveal the secret, so she stopped Liu Jin directly and said sharply: "Don't say it!"

Liu Jin was drunk by her, and she couldn't help but be annoyed.

But at this moment, he is losing political power, and if there is no support from Empress Dowager Zhang, he can only face a bleak ending.

At that moment, he had to hold back his anger and slowly retreat behind Empress Dowager Zhang.

And Empress Dowager Zhang was also adjusted, slowly raised her head, looked directly at Emperor Zhengde, and said: "Yes, you are not the biological child of the mourning family, but the mourning family has always treated you well, that is, even the throne was given to you, but what about you?"

Not only is he greedy for fun, he is idle, but he also causes trouble everywhere, and makes the government and government slack. In the end, he left the palace without permission, and after coming back, he didn't think about introspection, but colluded with the ministers, intending to deal with the mourning family!"

"How could I have dealt with you?" Zhengde listened to Empress Dowager Zhang's words, and the question in his heart was finally answered, and he couldn't help but feel sad and a little happy.

Sadness is naturally that I have lived for 20 years, and until today, I don't know my true life experience, isn't it sad. Fortunately, he is really not the son of Empress Dowager Zhang, so he doesn't have to kill her flesh and blood.

"Is this the second question?" Empress Dowager Zhang didn't want to say more to Zhengde, but now that everything has been completely revealed, and it can be regarded as the time to end up with Zhengde, thinking of the love of raising Zhengde over the years, she is also patient.

"No!" Zhengde knew that now that he wanted to walk out of Cining Palace safely, it was already wishful thinking, and he naturally didn't want to waste the precious opportunity to ask questions at the moment, so he had to ask, "My second question is why did you and Liu Jin join forces to deal with me? Although I was preparing to deal with Liu Jin, I never thought of being against you!"

"Haha! You're really just a child!" Hearing Zhengde's words, Liu Jin couldn't hold back, just laughed wildly, and then said disdainfully, "Don't you know that I and the Queen Mother are both prosperous and loss-in-disguise?"

"I ......" Zhengde suddenly realized, he had always just thought that Empress Dowager Zhang trusted Liu Jin, and never thought that Empress Dowager Zhang actually had an interest relationship with Liu Jin, until today Liu Jin made it clear in front of him.

Empress Dowager Zhang obviously didn't want to expose her relationship with Liu Jin in front of too many people, and after hearing Liu Jin's words, she glared at him fiercely, and then looked back at Zhengde and said, "Okay, the third question!"

"The last question, is my mother Zheng Jinlian? Where is she now, is she alive or dead?" This question has been held in Zhengde's heart for a long time, and it is also a question in his heart.

If he is not Zheng Jinlian's child, it is okay, if so, then Zheng Jinlian is alive or dead, where is she alive, and where is she buried when she dies?

"This ......" Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to directly say that Zheng Jinlian died that year, but she just looked at Zhengde with a pleading face, and inexplicably remembered the scene when Zhengde asked herself various questions under her knees, she couldn't help but soften, sighed, and said, "This question, the mourning family will not tell you, okay, you can go with confidence! The mourning family will be better for your mother in the future!"

"Thank you!" Zhengde was shocked when he heard this, understood the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhang's words, and immediately bent down with a sincere face and bowed deeply to Empress Dowager Zhang.

Seeing that the child in front of her, who had been raised by herself, was about to become a tool that was manipulated, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears, turned her head, and without saying much, she withdrew from this side hall, leaving only Liu Jin to face Zhengde.

When Liu Jin saw that Empress Dowager Zhang was gone, he knew what she meant, and couldn't help but smile and walk towards Zhengde.

Zhengde wanted to fight to the death, but because of the poison, he collapsed to the ground, Liu Jin shook his hand in front of his eyes, and found that Zhengde's eyes were dull and unconscious. Liu Jin suddenly silently recited the secret words, and Zhengde slowly stood up as if he had received an order, and walked out with Liu Jin.
