King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 77 Don't Joke About Ethics

"Master Thirteen, the medicine has arrived, and the slave will rub it on you, so bear with the pain!"

While talking, Yu Hai ordered the eunuchs left and right: "You two, take off Thirteen Lord's clothes first!"

This kind of skin injury is not considered a complicated disease. After the imperial doctor came to the scene for diagnosis and treatment, he prescribed a prescription and left ointment and left.

Asking the eunuch to apply the medicine with his bare buttocks, Zhu Jinghong felt unbearable even thinking about it, so he immediately scolded: "Another person will give the medicine..."

"Ah? This... who will replace it?" Yu Hai was a little puzzled for a while.

But Zhu Jinghong said: "What do you think?"

At this time, someone outside shouted: "Master Thirteen, this servant will bring you here!"

It was Deng An's voice.

After the previous incident, when this guy came back, he was punished first, and he was demoted from following the eunuch to the lowest level eunuch, and now he can't even enter the palace gate.

But I have to say that Deng An's mind is the most flexible, ranking first among all the eunuchs.

After a while, Deng An led a young girl to appear, which really shocked everyone's jaws.

Although Zhu Jinghong brought Yinglian back, he only called over when he thought of it, to talk with her or something, and he had never served her close.

Now that Deng An called someone here, it was really a bit daring.

But seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't speak, Yu Hai also understood what he meant, so he led the people back out silently.

Deng An was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Jinghong.

"Deng An..."

"The slave is here, what orders does the Thirteenth Master have?"

"In the future, let's go to the palace to serve!"

Deng An was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to pay respects: "Your servant takes orders!"

This guy was so easy to use, it was a bit of a shame to ask him to sweep the floor, so Zhu Jinghong transferred him back again.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong also understood why the king loves to use "treacherous ministers", it is because these people are so caring.

"Your silver..."

"The money collected by the slave has been returned, and I will never dare to collect it again in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong slowly replied: "Your crime is not in collecting money, but in...deception..."

Zhu Jinghong's voice turned cold, making Deng An feel oppressed again, and the joy that had arisen just now disappeared.

Just as Deng An was breaking out in cold sweat, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "If you commit another crime in the future, I will want your head!"

Although people like Deng An are easy to use, they have to be well-crafted to keep them under control.

"get out!"

"Yes……"

Deng An's voice trembled, he knew that he was not joking, Zhu Jinghong would have to die if he wanted him to die.

At least starting today, he no longer dares to make small moves.

Looking back at Yinglian who was stunned in place, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help asking: "Did Deng An tell you, what did you ask you to come here?"

"Say it!" Yinglian hesitated.

"Go out if you don't want to, I'll let them come!"

Zhu Jinghong said this insincerely, who told him to maintain the personality of "a gentleman".

Yinglian immediately replied: "I am willing, I am afraid that I will hurt the Thirteenth Master!"

After all, Zhu Jinghong rescued her from the wolf's lair and gave her back her current stable life. It was too late for Yinglian to be grateful, so why would she not want to.

"Then come on, am I a person who is afraid of pain!"

"Yes!"

Compared with ordinary eunuchs wiping their butts, Yinglian's arrival made Zhu Jinghong more acceptable.

What kind of bullshit rules, I don't know who gave it, the prince can only be served by the maidservant when he is an adult, so the prince is not a human?
Zhu Jinghong cursed in his heart, being surrounded by a bunch of officials and guards every day is far worse than Jia Baoyu's life.

"Master Thirteen, the crown prince is here!"

As soon as the report sounded, Zhu Jinghong heard footsteps, and after a while Zhu Jingyuan appeared in front of him.

"Fourth brother, you are here!"

Zhu Jinghong, who was in high spirits just now, is completely changed now, his voice is weak like a dying person.

Seeing that the maidservant came to apply the medicine, Zhu Jingyuan instinctively wanted to admonish him, but when he heard the voice, he couldn't bear it, and could only hold back what he was saying.

"Thirteenth brother, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I can't die!"

"Hey...you suffered this for me, Brother Yu, I'm sorry!" Zhu Jingyuan showed concern.

"Fourth brother, as long as I can help you, I can do anything, you don't have to worry!" After saying these words, Zhu Jinghong was almost moved by himself.

"Thirteenth brother..."

Deep in love, Zhu Jingyuan choked up, which made Zhu Jinghong a little uncomfortable.

Wiping his eyes, Zhu Jingyuan said, "Thirteenth Brother, take good care of your wounds, and I'll do the rest!"

Seeing his benevolent and weak appearance, Zhu Jinghong was really not at ease.

This man can't even coerce a civil servant, so when he deals with those generals next, can he really be able to control them?
Zhu Jinghong expressed doubts about this!
"Fourth brother, I will take care of you for two days, and I will accompany you to the front line to supervise the battle!"

Zhu Jingyuan shook his head again and again: "No need, you are injured, how can I have the heart to let you go to the battlefield, mother will scold me if she finds out!"

He actually wanted to take Zhu Jinghong there, but after Gao Shuyan's analysis for a long time just now, he moved him with affection and explained the situation with reason, which made him dispel this idea.

"Fourth brother..."

"Needless to say, Thirteenth Brother...Fourth Brother also wants to show Dad what he can do by himself!" Zhu Jingyuan said very seriously.

Gao Shuyan had a lot of words to persuade him, and this reason undoubtedly moved Zhu Jingyuan the most.

From being sensible to the present, he really wants to do the errands assigned by his father beautifully, and get even a word of approval from his father.

Seeing Zhu Jingyuan's firm gaze, Zhu Jinghong knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped talking.

Zhu Jingyuan felt really sorry for rejecting Zhu Jinghong's kindness, so he said, "Thirteenth brother, let me prescribe medicine for you!"

The dignified prince, the heir apparent of the country, dispensed medicine for Zhu Jinghong, even though the latter was his own brother, he was really condescending.

However, Zhu Jinghong avoided it and said, "No need, you should just sit down!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was extremely repulsive, Zhu Jingyuan no longer insisted, stood up and then sat back down.

After a few breaths, Zhu Jinghong planned to talk about something else, at least to keep his eyes wide open.

"Fourth brother, do you know about the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?"

Hearing this question, Zhu Jingyuan was a little surprised, but he still replied: "I know...what's wrong?"

"His family belongs to the family of two countries, and his status has plummeted now. Is it because of the Donghuamen Incident?"

Although there was only one maidservant in the hall, Zhu Jingyuan was still extra cautious and replied: "Why mention him about what happened back then!"

"I heard that the Jia family didn't make a statement back then, and that's why the old man suppressed them?"

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan was silent, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "The old man is not a narrow-minded person. After ten years, he still remembers family grudges?"

Zhu Jinghong knew a little about what happened back then, but he didn't know the whole picture after all, so he was very curious about the inside story.

"It's a long story, and grandpa is involved!"

"grandfather?"

After reading a sentence, the face of that old man in Ningshou Palace appeared in Zhu Jinghong's mind.

"Hey... I won't say much, don't inquire about it in the future!" Zhu Jingyuan sighed.

"There's one more thing I don't understand!"

"Speak!"

"Since the old man hates the Jia family, why did he marry the daughter of the Jia family into the harem?"

Zhu Jingyuan was extremely surprised, and asked: "Who told you? How can this happen!"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course there is no such thing!" Zhu Jingyuan said angrily.

"But I remember that the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion's second room was named Yuanchun, so she was made a noble concubine by the old man?" Zhu Jinghong scratched his head, firmly believing that he remembered correctly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Jingyuan said with a serious face: "Thirteenth brother, don't make jokes about ethics!"

"What?" Zhu Jinghong looked confused.

Zhu Jingyuan looked unhappy, and said word by word: "The Jia family and daughter you mentioned are now the crown prince's side concubine!"

"what?"
