imperial coddle

Chapter 38

When Nangong Lingchen went out, he saw Zhang Hengyuan standing there. Zhang Hengyuan saw Nangong Lingchen coming out, and immediately went up to greet him, and was about to open his mouth to speak.Nangong Lingchen waved his hand and said:

"You don't need to be too polite, Prime Minister Zhang. If you have something to say, go to the Imperial Study Room." After speaking, Gao Hai took the lead and walked in front. Gao Hai glanced at Zhang Ling whose face was swollen like a pig's head on the stretcher, and suppressed a smile.Thinking in my heart, I really didn't expect Miss Qingjun to be so tough. This young man really has a hard life, and it is Miss Qingjun who is not good to offend. I am afraid that the beating will be for nothing. Doting on Miss Qingjun's black-bellied personality is afraid that he will find trouble for Mr. Zhang.

Soon a court lady took away the things on the table, cleaned the table, put on the cakes and the fruits that Yan Qingjun usually likes to eat, because he was too full for dinner, Yan Qingjun looked at the fruits on the table. Can't eat.

Nangong Lingchen was not there, so Yan Qingjun was a little bored. I don't know when I got used to that person being by my side all day long, but suddenly I felt something was wrong without him by my side. Habits are really terrible things. Break something you've been holding on to.

Yan Qingjun thought that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well go to the corner to see how Zhang Hengyuan sought justice for his son.Thinking of Yan Qingjun, she stood up and walked out. Xiaojuan looked at Yan Qingjun who was in a good mood, although she was puzzled, didn't your majesty tell the lady to wait here.But he didn't ask and quietly followed behind.

In the imperial study room, Nangong Lingchen sat on the dragon table, asked someone to give Zhang Hengyuan a stool, looked at Zhang Ling who was moaning on the stretcher, and asked pretendingly incomprehensible:
"Zhang Xiang, this is..."

Seeing that Nangong Lingchen finally asked himself, Zhang Hengyuan immediately stood up from the stool and knelt down on the ground, shouting:

"Your Majesty, you have to decide for the dog..."

Nangong Lingchen looked at Zhang Hengyuan's exaggeration, only tears and snot in his nose. Disgust flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Hengyuan, who was focused on his son, didn't see it.

"What's going on here?" Nangong Lingchen still pretended not to understand.

Zhang Hengyuan looked at Nangong Lingchen's ignorant look and didn't know what to do for a while. Zhang Ling went back and said clearly that the person who beat him was the woman who followed His Majesty last time. There were rumors in the palace that His Majesty recruited Yan Nan's daughter In the palace, she was doted on in every possible way.Now that His Majesty said he didn't know, does that mean that His Majesty actually didn't know which girl was beaten in the Imperial College today.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know exactly what happened. It's just that the dog was carried back to the mansion by the servants at noon, and he was beaten like this. Please make the decision for the dog." Zhang Hengyuan decided not to mention who was beaten. Yes, let's see what His Majesty has to say.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang was beaten up like this by someone. It's really outrageous. When did the dignified Guozijian teach people how to read, read and learn etiquette, and when did it become a place for fighting?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what kind of law is there if this goes on like this..." Zhang Hengyuan nodded in praise after taking Nangong Lingchen's words.

"Mr. Zhang, tell me who beat you like this. If you are wronged, I will seek justice for you. If you lie to me, then I will never forgive you lightly."

After all, Zhang Hengyuan had been the prime minister for many years, and he keenly felt that there was something wrong with Nangong Lingchen's words, but he was only thinking about his son and didn't pay too much attention to it.Now His Majesty asked Ling'er to speak for herself, but she couldn't say anything, only wishing that she was too sensitive.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I was beaten by that little bitch... Yan Qingjun today." Zhang Ling knelt on the beating hall with a swollen pig's head. His expression was wrong, and he didn't dare to finish speaking.

Zhang Hengyuan couldn't help scolding this stupid son fiercely in his heart. Before he came, he didn't tell him what happened to the little girl of the Yan family, and he blamed himself. Nothing happened at all, and he would definitely be angry for him.It's just that this idiot son still didn't listen.At the critical moment, he still couldn't calm down.

After Zhang Ling finished speaking, Nangong Lingchen just lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the table. Zhang Ling and Zhang Hengyuan couldn't figure out what Nangong Lingchen was thinking and dared not speak out. For a while, only Nangong Lingchen tapped his fingers on the table in the elder brother's hall. the sound of.Every time Zhang Hengyuan was knocked, he felt his heart tighten. This emperor was very thoughtful despite his young age, and no one could figure out what was going on in his mind.

"Then why did Qing'er beat you?" Nangong Lingchen said after a long time, neither blaming nor favoring anyone, just a casual tone.

"I just made a little joke with the princess of Zhanwang Mansion, but I didn't expect Yan Qingjun to punch and kick me suddenly..." Zhang Ling opened his eyes and said nonsense,

Zhang Hengyuan saw that Nangong Lingchen still had no big reaction after Zhang Ling finished speaking. Zhang Hengyuan suddenly regretted what kind of justice he wanted for his son in the palace today. I'm really old. At that time, I saw Ling'er's badly injured old woman and his wife crying non-stop, so I came here on impulse.Now it's hard to ride a tiger.

Moreover, his son knew about it himself, and after thinking about it afterwards, he was afraid that the whole incident was caused by his own son.Just when Zhang Hengyuan was thinking about how to make this matter go away, a little eunuch outside came in and knelt down and said to Nangong Lingchen:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is here and wait outside the palace..."

Finally, he couldn't wait to come, and before he settled the score with her, she delivered it to her door.Irony flashed across Nangong Lingchen's eyes.whispered:
"Let her in."

"Yes." The little eunuch finished speaking and went out to deliver a message.

Soon Chen Minrong walked in in a luxurious suit.The sternness in his eyes flashed when he saw Zhang Ling, and Nangong Lingchen saw him keenly.

"I don't know what the concubine came to the imperial study room at night?" Nangong Lingchen asked Chen Mingrong indifferently.

"The Ai family heard that the nephew of the Ai family was beaten half to death in the Imperial College. The Ai family was worried, so he came to have a look." After Chen Minrong finished speaking, he walked over and took Zhang Ling's hand, with a distressed expression on his face, holding the handkerchief Wiping the corners of his eyes.

"My nephew, what's wrong with you, who is this bold? Don't you want your head? You are so bold. Tell your aunt who beat you." Chen Minrong asked sadly while wiping tears .

Yan Qingjun, who was in the room in the back room of the imperial study, almost vomited when he saw that affectation. Yan Qingjun looked at Zhang Ling and was also a little stunned. Did he hit so hard?It seems that the injury is not serious, no wonder my hands are swollen, but I really beat him badly.

"Aunt Concubine, you must make the decision for me." Zhang Ling saw that Concubine Chen suddenly seemed to see hope, and knelt in front of Concubine Chen, wiping away tears while speaking with her swollen pig-headed face that showed no expression.
