Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 194 The Drug-Taking Emperor! Zhang Chonghui, who pretended to be obedient to Empress Dowager Li!
Hearing the words 'turn over the brand', Zhu Yijun was instinctively excited.

However, it is only for a moment, after all, age waits for no one.

Since he got older, especially after his thirties, Zhu Yijun became more and more struggling with that aspect.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he has more than enough ambition but not enough energy. All men understand this.

Of course Chen Ju, an old eunuch, didn't understand. He only knew that His Majesty the Emperor was becoming less and less addicted to women. Instead, he was addicted to hobbies such as fishing and walnut dishing.

For Chen Ju, this is a good thing.

But for His Majesty the Emperor, this unreasonable irritability really makes it impossible to sleep, and there is no reason for it.

After scratching his head and ears for a while, Zhu Yijun suddenly asked:
"By the way, how is Zhang Chonghui doing in the East Palace recently?"

Zhu Yijun hadn't asked about Zhang Chonghui's whereabouts for some time. In fact, the mine supervisor issue had made him so upset that he had no time to distract himself from other things.

"Back to your lord, Zhang Chonghui is still the same." Chen Ju replied truthfully:
"Guo Zhengyu is paying close attention. More than two months have passed, and Zhang Chonghui still hasn't even seen the prince's face."

Your Majesty, please forgive me for making my own decisions and taking advantage of others. I really feel sorry for you!
Therefore, a few days ago, I took people everywhere to find famous doctors, and specially obtained the same tonic for you, Your Majesty! "

Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, thought about it, and finally said: "It's getting late, Concubine Zheng should be sleeping, so let's announce that Concubine Li Jing is here."

He knew what the supplement was, and he also knew that the so-called supplement was actually a drug.

On the other side, in the flower shop, Zhang Chonghui and Queen Mother Li started to quarrel...

Adhering to the concept of sending Buddha to the West and doing everything in one place, Zhang Cheng asked very 'intimately':
"Your Majesty, do you want Concubine Zheng to accompany you...or?"

In fact, after all, Li Jingfei is not a newcomer.

Not only could I not sleep well or eat well, I was also so worried that I had not summoned my concubines to sleep with me for almost two months.

"Okay! How dare you plot against me!" Queen Mother Li seemed very angry and asked as soon as they met:

"What do you mean you shouldn't dare?!" Zhu Yijun couldn't sleep at all now, so he sat up holding the pillow!

Somehow, Zhu Yijun even began to suspect that the reason why his legs, feet and dental problems were getting worse after treatment was because of the fault of the imperial doctors!
"That's all, go get that supplement." Zhu Yijun raised his hand and ordered.

"Empress Dowager, haven't you ever plotted against me? A few years ago, I was in prison and was almost killed by the little girl you sent!
And today, just now, I guess if I have anything to do with that little girl named Shiniang, you will let her kill me, right? "

Not to be outdone, Zhang Chonghui even asked:

"Immediately! Immediately! Go and ask him personally what's going on! I didn't let him go to the East Palace to have a casual meal! It's been more than two months and he still hasn't done anything! What use do I have for him!"

But sometimes, just such a person is needed to do things for him.

"More than two months have passed and he hasn't seen the prince yet? What on earth is he doing? Is he playing tricks on me again?"

All the medicine has been taken, and all the people have been taken care of.

Chen Ju was also startled by His Majesty the Emperor's sudden excitement, and hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, he...should...not dare..."

After Chen Ju left, His Majesty the Emperor had to have someone by his side, so Zhang Cheng naturally stepped in.

"Zhang Cheng." Zhu Yijun said suddenly: "Now I am in my prime, but the royal heir in the palace is far less prosperous than Emperor Taizu back then. I am really ashamed."

"Go back to your Majesty, the supplements I present to you, the Son of Heaven, must be extremely reliable." Zhang Cheng only answered here and then stopped abruptly.

If it were ten years ago, Zhu Yijun might still be worried that these supplements that had not been processed by Taiyuan Hospital would be unsafe.

……

Zhu Yijun actually didn't like Zhang Cheng very much. He knew that this slave had calculations and little thoughts in his heart.

However, all kinds of illnesses and physical weakness in the past ten years have caused Zhu Yijun to lose great trust in the doctors at Tai Hospital.

Obviously, the hospital has not seen it.

Embarrassed as it was, and Zhang Cheng's words were actually very tactful, Zhu Yijun didn't bother to bother anymore and simply asked in a low voice:
"What kind of supplement? Is it...reliable? Have you ever seen it at the hospital?"

His Majesty the Emperor is in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the beautiful scenery.

Zhang Cheng understood the true intention of His Majesty the Emperor almost instantly, and quickly echoed calmly:
"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true. Your heir is the most important thing, but I see that your Majesty, you have been troubled by the mining tax recently.

His Majesty the Emperor was so angry in the middle of the night that Chen Ju couldn't calm him down, so he had to go to Zhang Chonghui in person that night to inquire about the situation.

"Last year during the Lantern Festival, if my son hadn't been filial and prevented me from going to Prince Lu's Mansion several times, you would have completely ruined my reputation at my age!"

When necessary, you can even call it an 'elixir'.

Chen Ju was also frightened by His Majesty the Emperor's sudden action, which was like a carp being beaten up!
However, this was not the end yet. Next, a scene happened that made Chen Ju even more confused!

Over the years, Zhang Cheng 'looked' a lot more honest. As the emperor, Zhu Yijun naturally knew that Zhang Cheng just looked honest.

However, I know that for the sake of face, I still have to call it a tonic.

"My slave, I obey." Zhang Cheng was about to retreat, but suddenly remembered that there was still something unsolved.

"Ahem!" Zhu Yijun was also a little surprised that Zhang Cheng was so direct, which made him, an emperor in his prime, inevitably a little embarrassed.

As early as the 22nd year of Wanli, Concubine Li Jing, who was second only to Concubine Zheng in terms of favor, had given birth to Emperor Wanli's sixth son, Zhu Changrun.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't know what was going on. He suddenly got into an inexplicable and strange temper. He even slapped the pillow and said:

This is really funny. Concubine Zheng is sleeping, but isn't Concubine Li Jing sleeping?
Zhang Cheng knew that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to change things, so he didn't say anything. He quietly retreated to prepare the so-called tonic and went to invite Concubine Li Jing to come.

"What?" Zhu Yijun raised his head angrily and asked again and again:

Queen Mother Li seemed speechless and fell silent. However, soon she found the words again:

"Don't forget, I have helped you so many times, otherwise your Zhang family would have been doomed long ago."

Seeing that the beautiful woman's tone had softened, Zhang Chonghui followed her wisely and said warmly:
"Empress Dowager, of course I know. If it weren't for your help many times, I wouldn't be in the stable position I am today. I know all this."

"Then you are plotting against me?" Queen Mother Li seemed to be angry again.

Although she was so blaming, when she saw Zhang Chonghui approaching her, she did not dodge, but just turned her face away from him.

"Empress Dowager, I know that you have a bodhisattva-like heart, and you feel sorry for our Zhang family." Zhang Chonghui patiently coaxed:
"I also know that you were just angry that I didn't tell you those plans in advance.

But the situation was urgent at that time, and you also saw with your own eyes that the emperor sent people to kidnap me.

I really had no choice but to resort to the method of killing first and then showing off. "

Zhang Chonghui's tone was extremely sincere and helpless, and when he looked at Empress Dowager Li, his eyes showed grievances mixed with a hint of pity, as if he was humblely admitting his mistake, "I know I was wrong."

No woman could bear the humiliation and begging from a handsome young man.

Even though Empress Dowager Li knew that the other party was probably pretending to be pitiful, she couldn't help but be stunned and felt distressed.

"Empress Dowager, you know me." Zhang Chonghui was still sincerely admitting his mistake.

As if to express his sincerity, while the beautiful woman was in a daze, he gently picked up the woman's crotch, pressed it tightly on his heart, and asked seriously:

"How could I bear to let your reputation be damaged? Look at the queen and princess, aren't they doing well now?

Madam, I really had no choice but to do that. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? "The young man's attitude of admitting his mistake was too fierce, especially when he was facing Queen Mother Li, who had not seen her husband for many years.

She didn't know whether it was because the young man's palm was too hot, or whether his calm heartbeat was too steady, but Queen Mother Li was so shocked that she immediately wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't muster much effort.

"You... let go quickly, how... is this inappropriate..."

"I won't let you go unless you forgive me."

"You... let go... okay! I'll forgive you! Let go!"

Queen Mother Li had no choice but to agree first.

Adhering to the concept of putting on a complete show, Zhang Chonghui did not let go immediately, but reluctantly pulled a few times.

After all, the person he was facing was not a girl in her teens or 20s, but an extremely smart mature woman. Even if the other party knew that he was pretending, he had to keep pretending.

"The Queen Mother, why do I feel that you are getting younger and younger? Also, your face is so red."

Zhang Chonghui said that he was about to reach out to touch Empress Dowager Li's red cheek, but she was avoided by the other party's staggering steps.

"Don't be serious, I have something serious to do with you."

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly sat down while holding on to the table beside her. She was frightened that she was about to lose her composure just now, and at the same time she was even more curious...why did Zhang Taiyue's face suddenly become so thick-skinned?

"What's the business?" Zhang Chonghui also sat down. He had already seen that this woman just liked teasing honest people.

The more honest and passive he was, the more excited Queen Mother Li became. If he is dishonest, the other party will be afraid.

After all, he really dares to do anything now, but the time reserved by Queen Mother Li is obviously not enough.

Facts have proved that Zhang Chonghui's guess was correct, and the time left for Queen Mother Li was indeed not enough.

She had wasted a lot of effort in sneaking out of the palace this time, and she had to go back quickly.

"I heard that you have been going to the East Palace for more than two months, but you haven't even seen the prince's face." Queen Mother Li said directly:

"Mr. Zhang, changing the title of Crown Prince is absolutely unacceptable. You are a smart man and I know you understand this.

I also know that you want to get close to the prince, not to seduce him.

So, I want to help you out. Likewise, you have to help me, okay? "

Zhang Chonghui asked without asking what the conditions were. He readily agreed: "Of course."

"Huh?" Queen Mother Li was also stunned for a moment: "You don't even know what to do to help me, so you agree?"

"Of course." Zhang Chonghui looked at the other party with intoxicated eyes and said with a smile: "As long as it is your order, the Queen Mother, I will not hesitate even if it means going up the mountain of knives or going down into the sea of ​​fire."

"Hmph... what a mouthful!" Queen Mother Li was so angry that she wanted to pinch the other person, but she was afraid that this might cause some unmanageable situation.

She had no choice but to give up temporarily, even though she felt itchy in her heart. She got serious and discussed the terms with Zhang Chonghui.

……

After a while, the terms between the two were roughly settled.

"If anything happens from now on, come here and find the girl named Shiniang. She will take care of everything."

Queen Mother Li said and put on the large cloak again, obviously she was going back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you going back now?" Zhang Chonghui looked reluctant and tried to persuade him to stay: "It's already so late, it's not peaceful outside, and..."

"Come on, you!" Queen Mother Li saw it through and snorted: "You are still pretending to me, don't think I don't know that you think I am old and sallow, you men all like young ones!"

Zhang Chonghui said with an innocent face: "Mother, I am really unjust. I just want to..."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Empress Dowager Li smiled slyly, her charming brows and eyes full of teasing:

"I don't have enough time tonight, so I'm in a hurry to get back to the palace. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!"

……

Empress Dowager Li left, Zhang Chonghui pretended to stop her a few times and stopped pestering her.

"It's better to be a young girl." Zhang Chonghui sighed in his heart.

It’s not just that young bodies are good, mature women are also good.

But a mature woman, especially a mature and extremely smart woman like Queen Mother Li.

If you are not careful with this kind of woman, you will be easily 'backlashed' by her!

This kind of backlash, whether it is in the body or in terms of profit!
……

Shortly after Queen Mother Li left, Shiniang came.

Shiniang brought a piano and said she would play her best music to Zhang Chonghui.

All the money was spent. Although he did not pay for it himself, Zhang Chonghui still accepted Shiniang's invitation based on the concept that money should not be wasted in vain.

However, not long after I started playing the piano, something went wrong.

……

On the other side, Qianqing Palace.

Facts have proved that the tonic Zhang Cheng found was not a tonic at all.

There's no way, this is His Majesty the Emperor's dragon body, so you can't use too much medicine. What if something goes wrong?
That's going to kill your head!
Although the tonic is a bit useless, it has fulfilled its mission.

Concubine Li Jing, who had completed her 'mission', was also sent away. After all, the only people who had the honor to sleep with His Majesty the Emperor for a whole night were the queen, his wife, and Concubine Zheng, his true love.

"Isn't Chen Ju back yet?"

His Majesty the Emperor's mood was obviously much calmer, and he felt as if he was possessed by a sage.

"Back to your lord, Eunuch Chen hasn't come back yet." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Zhang Cheng, do you remember what day it is today?"

Zhu Yijun looked at the top of the dragon bed in concentration and asked this question again.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, and after noticing nothing was wrong, he answered truthfully:

"Your Majesty, today is the fifth day of May, which is the folk Dragon Boat Festival."

"Yes, the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival." Zhu Yijun closed his eyes and smiled.

Everyone knows that the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, the emperor Zhu Yijun didn't know. Chen Ju, whom he asked several times, didn't know either.
