King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 562 Daiyu will leave Beijing

On the third day of May, in the east side hall of the Cunxin Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Jinghong sat behind the desk and listened to Qian Hu Ning Wanfu's report.

Northern King Chen Fuli, the majestic king of the White Lotus Sect, was arrested like this...

Zhu Yili, the lieutenant of the Zhenguo State, failed to report the knowledge in an attempt to gain merit and gain favors, and he did everything under torture...

The full picture of the matter was clearly displayed in front of Zhu Jinghong. Knowing this made him angry and helpless at the same time.

"Report the truth to the capital about the case, how to deal with it!"

"Yes!"

With Zhu Jinghong's words, the assassination came to an end, and it took only two days to conclude the case.

Zhu Jinghong originally thought it would take ten days and a half, but he didn't expect Ning Wanfu to be so efficient in doing things. Now he thinks more highly of him.

"Ning Qianhu, how old are you this year?"

Next, Ning Wanfu said a lot of flattery, which made Zhu Jinghong extremely satisfied. Then he said: "There are a few vacancies in the North and South Divisions this year. I think you are a good fit... You are too talented to stay in Yanshan!"

Zhu Jinghong continued: "Thirty-seven... you are in your prime, you have a bright future!"

Precisely because the case was solved and the issue of division of responsibilities was clarified, the Dragon Guard Flag Guards and relevant candidates in the Beijing camp were all punished by Zhu Jinghong in varying degrees.

It's a pity that she is a traitor to the White Lotus Sect. If she has the intention to murder the queen mother...

If he simply wanted a woman, he could have different beauties queue up to serve him with just one sentence.

If he forced me to stay, what should I do... Miaoyu was beating a drum in her heart.

When Zhu Jinghong heard Ning Wanfu's first sentence, he felt it was familiar, and then he remembered that Sun Shaozu had said this.

"Master Miaoyu, I was planning to go find you. I was reading Buddhist scriptures yesterday... and there was something I didn't understand!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong abandoned this idea. He felt that it would be more appropriate to leave Miaoyu in Prince Xiang's Mansion and let him watch and live with the thief.

"Big thing? What big thing can you do?" Zhu Jinghong asked.

Ning Wanfu said goodbye and left. He still had many things to do next, especially using Chen Fuli to expand the results of the battle and catch more White Lotus sect thieves.

"I have been doing nothing for half my life... Now I have met the prince, and now everything is smooth sailing. Solving the case is like divine help. This is all the prince's grace!"

"Goodbye? You're leaving me?"

"Eh...it doesn't matter whether you can help or not. It's not certain whether you can go up. Besides, even if you go up, it's only on your own ability. What does it have to do with me?"

Miaoyu was now completely immune to these nonsense words. She leaned forward and replied: "Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye!"

As Zhu Jinghong said, first he had to run his errands well so that others could speak for him in court.

"That's it. Since you insist on leaving, I won't keep you here... When I return to the capital, I'll come and have a deep talk with you!"

Ning Wanfu himself was surprised that the case could be concluded in two days, but he also knew that his opportunity had come.

Wouldn't it be more convenient if she stayed in Kunning Palace... Zhu Jinghong thought this.

"Go back and get ready!"

After Zhu Jinghong said this, the basic matter was settled. This made Ning Wanfu so excited that he almost jumped up from where he was.

And according to Zhu Jinghong's knowledge, Miaoyu had met with the queen several times.

Zhu Jinghong's words were almost a clear statement. How could Ning Wanfu dare to hesitate at all? He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"

The lighter ones were fines and the heavier ones were military sticks, but no one complained and were even grateful to Zhu Jinghong.

Ning Wanfu completely ignored these words, and only heard him continue: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I will never forget it!"

What made him so happy was not that he was going to be transferred to Beijing, but that he relied on the big tree of Zhu Jinghong.

"Go back and write more beautifully, and you will have good news then!"

With the beauty in front of Yin'an Palace, Zhu Jinghong put down his pen unconsciously.

As a close guard, the prince was put in danger. If these crimes were punished by the emperor, it would not be so easy to escape.

"It's not that I want to leave the prince, but the time agreed with the princess is coming soon. If I don't return in time... I'm afraid I'll miss something important!"

Miaoyu replied: "The queen in the palace said that we will discuss Buddhism together when I return!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Wanfu immediately replied: "Reporting to the prince, I am thirty-seven this year!"

Yes, even if Zhu Jinghong punished them, these people are still grateful.

The rebels of the White Lotus Sect discuss Buddhism with the Mother of a Nation. Reality can be so magical sometimes.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

It is very simple for Zhu Jinghong to keep Miaoyu, and his so-called "queen's summons" has no deterrent effect.

The reason why Zhu Jinghong let him go was for fun. After all, the important thing is the process of enhancing feelings, not the purpose of getting someone.

"Yes...I'm resigning!"

"You...hey...can't explain clearly!" Zhu Jinghong said hypocritically.

Just because Zhu Jinghong punished them for not punishing them twice, the matter was considered to have been exposed.

Another day passed, and when Zhu Jinghong was writing the memorial, Miaoyu took the initiative to find him for the first time.

"Hey...since you want to leave, can you stay with me tonight?"

"You make me feel at ease. Can you let me feel at ease for a while?"

When he said this, Zhu Jinghong had already walked up to Miaoyu, took her hand like a couple, and even hugged her into his arms.

Although she had been in close contact with Zhu Jinghong many times, Miaoyu still resisted this kind of behavior, so she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But how could Zhu Jinghong let her hide away? Miaoyu could only shrink into his arms, unable to move as he tightened his hands.

Forget it, let him go as his enemy... Miaoyu was helpless.

But how could Zhu Jinghong be a responsible person, especially when he was with the person he liked, so Miaoyu was once again made extremely uncomfortable by him.

On the second day, Miaoyu still left as she wished.

Northern King Chen Fuli and his best friends were arrested, and her biggest opposition force in the church was basically eliminated, so she could focus more on her great cause.

Miaoyu went to work on his own business, but Zhu Jinghong was not idle either and continued his inspection mission. The next step was mainly to check the actual combat capabilities of each department.

How to check? Of course, it was to mobilize the army and conduct activities similar to "training". He had already requested permission for these things in advance.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

The circumstances of Zhu Jinghong's assassination, all the details of the case, and the results of the roundup of the White Lotus Sect were finally reported back to the capital...

When Emperor Zhu Xianming saw this, he was naturally furious and dissatisfied with all the local officials in Yanshan.

"Yanshan has become a troubled place. It seems that many of the local officials' corpses are on a vegetarian diet... An order was sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and all local officials in Yanshan were fined half a year's salary!"

"In addition, the envoys to the chief executive and the envoys to the inspection department were demoted and retained. The magistrate of Beiping was demoted three levels in a row, and the magistrate of Wanping was dismissed from office!"

"Another message was sent to the clan's mansion. The people of the Yan vassal clan colluded with the rebels. They deceived each other as worse than animals. The vassal mansion was dismissed...all the registered clansmen reduced their titles to the people!"

"Zhu Yili was born late, his family was sent to the army and exiled, and Zhu Yibin and his son were sent to Fengyang!" Zhu Xianming was really angry at this moment. If it weren't for the royal family's face, he would really want to slaughter all the Yan vassals.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, he actually colluded with the rebels and even intended to murder his own son... This completely touched his evil side.

"I also send an order to all vassals to strictly restrain their clansmen. If anything illegal happens again, I will not be lenient!"

"Yes!" Cheng Ying answered carefully.

Seeing that the emperor stopped talking, Cheng Ying immediately explained these matters to the young eunuch. After all, he might forget it if it took too long.

After several young eunuchs left, Cheng Ying was carrying a pot to add tea to the emperor, but she heard the latter say: "Don't let the queen know about this matter..."

The queen's health was getting worse and Zhu Xianming was worried that she would know the situation.

"Yes!"

As for the Queen, her place was quite lively today. The Crown Princess led a group of princesses and princesses to pay their respects.

The reason why it is said that it is a group of princesses is because the people who come include county princesses, but these people are rarely summoned on weekdays.

Now that only the prince is in Beijing, it seems that the throne is extremely stable, so everyone gathered around Yuan Chun and echoed her conversation with the queen.

As for Baochai, she had difficulty moving due to her big belly, so she sat aside by herself, but there was someone accompanying her.

In addition to the two youngest county princesses, Princess Zhu Yunmei of Changqing was also sitting next to her at this time, communicating with her some things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

Zhu Yunmei is the eldest daughter of the emperor, between the age of the fifth and sixth children. Zhu Xianming was still a prince when she got married, and was later named a princess from the princess.

"Good sister... you are a lucky person. To be able to marry such a good man as my thirteenth brother, I know he loves you the most!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but laugh, and then she said: "Sister... what's your look? Thirteenth Brother is still a good man?"

Zhu Yunmei asked back: "Sister...you don't understand. If you love, care and respect your wife, isn't she still a good man?"

"You are my sister, and everything you say is right!" Zhu Yunsheng surrendered directly. She had no time to argue with others.

At this moment, a palace maid came in from outside the palace, came to Zhu Yunsheng's side and said, "Princess, Miss Lin invites you to come!"

"What's the matter?"

The maid replied: "She didn't say anything, she seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable!"

"Sisters-in-law, I have something to do... I'll take my leave now!"

Zhu Yunsheng has a good relationship with Daiyu. Now that someone may be in trouble, she will naturally show up to help as soon as possible.

Looking at her leaving figure, Baochai didn't have to smile and said: "Third sister's temper is really hard to describe!"

"She will also choose a husband next year, but I don't know which talent will be taken advantage of. For a noble person like Third Sister, you must not be careless in choosing a husband!"

Finally, Zhu Yunmei elicited what he wanted to say.

In fact, she was entrusted by someone to choose a prince-in-law for a certain family and create an opportunity for the family to take off.

Although the consort cannot be an official, nobles who are married to the royal family can win the emperor's trust more, and the family can easily develop further.

For example, Zhu Yunmei's husband, his father and brother were highly used after Zhu Xianming succeeded to the throne and were eventually promoted to nobility. Now his brother is still a first-class son.

"You can't be careless!" Baochai replied calmly.

"It's said that people's hearts are separated from each other. People nowadays seem to be wearing masks. Most of them are those who are good on the outside and lose their money on the outside. You have to find someone who knows the bottom of things to put your mind at ease!"

After hearing this, Baochai finally understood Zhu Yunmei's intention, but she would not get involved in this matter at all. After all, this was a major matter of the princess's marriage, and it was not up to her as a sister-in-law to make the decision.

The reason why Zhu Yunmei came to her was because Baochai had presided over the selection of concubines for the previous two princes, so she thought that Baochai would be able to speak for herself when choosing the concubine.

Picking up the tea cup, Baochai took a breath of hot air and said, "Sister, it's still early for next year. You and I should not talk too far!"

"Uh...yes...yes, that makes sense..."

Seeing that Baochai was unwilling to say anything at this time, Zhu Yunmei could only change the topic quickly, planning to mention the matter again some time later.

Seeing that the scene was a little awkward, Princess Qingyang on the side said: "Come, sister-in-law, you have some tea, and eldest sister, you can have some too!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Princess Jinghai next to her also said: "I heard that this is the new tribute tea from Fujian. It just arrived yesterday..."

When the two of them started talking, the atmosphere changed instantly, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared.

The most embarrassing thing in the scene was that Princess Rui Chen Zhi was sitting alone. At this time, except for the serving maid, there was no one around her.

She also wanted to get in front of the queen, but she knew that the queen never liked her, and even if she went there, she would be asking for trouble, so it was better to stay alone quietly.

"You snobs, you will cry in the future!"

Although she thought so in her heart, Chen Zhi still hoped that someone would come over to relieve the embarrassment. She really couldn't stand the current situation.

But there is no way, no one is coming right now.

About half a moment later, Zhu Yunsheng came back from outside the palace, and then sat back down with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong...who bullied you?" Baochai asked curiously.

"No one bullies me!" Zhu Yunsheng replied casually.

So Baochai asked again: "What does Miss Lin want from you?"

"She's leaving!"

"Going? Where to go?" Baochai became even more curious.

"Go to Jinling!"

"Why are you going to Jinling for good?" Baochai became more and more puzzled.

At this time, she thought of many possibilities. Since Daiyu wanted to go back to Jinling to wait for Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jinghong would appear there in two months.

Daiyu loves to cry, especially when she misses her. During this period, Baochai saw a lot of her sad look, and he also saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Although she tried to enlighten her many times, it was basically useless, and she was still crying and sad.

Baochai knew that Daiyu was very affectionate and that Zhu Jinghong was the only "good medicine" for her.

Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help but secretly curse that this heartless and unjust man hadn't come back yet.

Just as Baochai was thinking about this, she heard Zhu Yunsheng continue to say: "The letter has just arrived. Her father is seriously ill and is in danger of his life. She has to go back and have a look!"

It was Lin Ruhai who was seriously ill...

Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, secretly thinking that she had wrongly blamed Daiyu.

"Everything was fine when I left. Why did it suddenly become serious?"

Zhu Yunsheng replied: "I think she is too tired. I heard her father has been in poor health!"

As the two of them were talking, Zhu Yunmei asked the two sisters-in-law in a low voice who this "Lin girl" was.

After asking her, she found out that this person was just a princess attendant.

"Have a good relationship with Princess Xiang? She is also the cousin of the Crown Princess!"

Knowing this, Zhu Yunmei put away his contempt and secretly cursed that he had only lived his life with his heart before, but he didn't find out about the people around Zhu Yunsheng.
