From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 297
Old Lu Guogong's daring temper that dared to scold the late emperor, and his sharp mouth and venomous tongue would even scare the emperor, let alone him.Therefore, for the sake of fame, for the face of the Cai family, and for the sake of his future, he should hide as far as he can.

Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't blame me, I really have nothing to do.There is a Prince Liang's Mansion, a Lu State Duke's Mansion, a Chuhuai Prince's Mansion and Shangguan's family full of peaches and plums, and an empress dowager who protects the calf.My dear mother, this is really a disaster for the king of Hades to fight the little devil.

No, he can't get involved in the matter of Prince Liang's entry into the assassin, he has to find a way to throw this hot potato out.Feng Wuzheng, you little bastard, you don't drag the Ministry of Justice to investigate, don't drag the Dali Temple to investigate, what are you dragging me to Jingzhao Yinfu, you are trying to kill me.

Heartbroken and mournful, Mr. Cai regretted not directly finding an excuse or pushing the matter to others, otherwise he would not have a headache at this moment, what a mistake.

Mr. Cai was not the only one who had a headache and scratched his heart because of this matter, there was also the emperor who went straight to Qianqing Palace as soon as he came to court.When he first found out that Shangguan Xinrou had moved to Kongliang Palace, he was surprised and had some doubts, and didn't understand why his younger brother was so short of money.

Now he understood, especially when he heard that the dead men who went to assassinate Mei Xin last night had the imprint of Prince Chuhuai's mansion on them, he finally knew where all the gold and silver treasures worth millions of taels went to.It's just how dare he, how dare he do this?
The dignified prince feeds the dead, commits crimes knowingly, and blatantly sends people to assassinate the ministers of the court. What is he trying to do, rebellion?
His face was livid and gloomy like rain, and Zongzheng Mingzhen could feel his anger when he followed him.He didn't dare to make a sound, and when he reached the door, he didn't follow directly like before, and stood quietly by the door.

Because Eunuch Qian was beaten, he is currently bedridden, and the person serving in front of the imperial court is Xiao Lizi.Since the emperor was furious last night, his heart had been raised in his throat, and now he was even more frightened when he saw that the emperor was about to kill someone.Holding a cup of tea, he walked to the door, took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, if the slave will be punished later, I beg you to invite the empress to come over. The master was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. Waiting for the servant to go back and deliver lunch."

Lord Zongzheng is a good person, and he never makes things difficult for them who are slaves.Instead, help them out when they are in trouble.So, what he was afraid of at the moment could only beg him.

Normally, when the emperor was angry, he would ask the empress dowager to come over to persuade him, but last night the mother and son had a big quarrel, and because of this, his master also suffered a disaster, so he dared not make trouble.Therefore, the only way to deal with it now is to ask the empress to come and save her life.

Seeing that he was a teenage boy with sweat coming out of his frightened face and trembling all over his body, Zongzheng Mingzhen took the teacup in his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll bring it in for you, just you As it is now, even if the emperor is not angry, he will be angry when he sees it. It’s cold, so hurry up and change out of your wet clothes, if you catch cold again later, there will really be no one to take care of your master.”

After finishing speaking, he opened the cotton curtain and went in directly.

Xiao Lizi was grateful for what he had asked for, touched the sweat on his face, and when the cold wind blew, he began to shiver again.This time it wasn't scared, it was cold.

In the hall, the emperor was sitting on a chair in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking of, his eyes were gloomy and frightening.

Not daring to look around and salute, Zongzheng Mingzhen put down the teacup in his hand and said: "The sky is dry and things are dry, the emperor should drink some chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea to moisten his throat."

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and glanced at him, the emperor immediately withdrew his gaze and said: "Why did you think about moving for no reason, and I never heard your sister mention it, but what happened at home?"

The tone was flat and calm, as if it wasn't him who was furious and wanted to kill just now.

When he came out to help Mei Xin take care of the assassin, he expected that the emperor would definitely ask him, so he had already planned his speech, and replied calmly and calmly: "There is nothing at home, but next month will be mother and father." On the day of getting married. My mother misses my father and can’t sleep at night. I heard from my mother that she hugged her father’s clothes and cried every night in the past few days. My mother went to Jiangnan when she was young, and she always wanted to go again, but Chen really didn’t have time I don’t worry about her going alone. I’m thinking about buying a Jiangnan-style house for her to live in, and maybe she won’t be able to see things and think about others after moving out. No, I finally found it after searching for a long time. My mother was very happy, and They said they would invite a group of their old sisters to visit the house."

Although he can't be called a filial son, he is famous in the capital for being afraid of his old mother, and his parents' deep affection is well known, so the emperor has no doubts.

Picking up the teacup and blowing the two chrysanthemums floating on it, the emperor said with emotion: "Father-in-law left early, it is not easy for mother-in-law to drag you all alone, you must be filial to her. Since you like the exquisite courtyard Just live here, as long as your mother-in-law likes it, you can be happy every day."

People just want to be happy when they are old, and the queen can't go out, so I can only find another way to make her happy.

Zongzheng Mingzhen knew that he would say that, and after answering "Yes", he said, "It's also a coincidence, yesterday I just moved into Liangwang's mansion, and the assassin entered. My mother was terrified, and she was frightened when she heard the sound of swords. I didn't dare anyone all night, and I only closed my eyes at dawn."

Some things are not easy to say directly, let alone explain directly, so I can only talk nonsense in circles.

Eyelids drooped and he took a sip of tea, the emperor put down the teacup in his hand and said, "You were there last night, what do you think about the assassin? And the imprint on the dead body, is it really from Prince Chuhuai's residence?"

Even though he knew it in his heart, he still didn't want to believe it. He felt that King Huai of Chu didn't have such courage, and it was even more impossible for him to have wolfish ambitions.

It was difficult for Zongzheng Mingzhen to answer, especially the last sentence asked by the emperor.In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false, what matters is whether he believes it is true or false.

After pondering for a while, Zongzheng Mingzhen said ambiguously: "I checked the imprint on the corpse carefully, and it does look like Prince Chuhuai's mansion. As for whether it is true, I don't know, and I dare not guess at will." .”

After speaking, Zongzheng Mingzhen bowed his head and looked down at the ground.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day when he would play an official role with him, the emperor was very displeased and said: "I don't want to listen to nonsense, you are allowed to guess at will, tell the truth, tell the truth!"

Favoring Zongzheng Mingzhen actually has nothing to do with the queen, on the contrary, he appreciates his talent and courage more.Moreover, he is very smart, knowledgeable and self-aware, and never does things that make him disgusted and disgusted.

Rather than saying that he is his brother-in-law, it is better to say that they are more like friends.

　It's really a severe stomachache. Today there are two updates, and tomorrow the fourth update will make up for the one owed today.
