From the ashes: Return of the General

chapter 685
Zichen didn't want to disappoint him, but Zhang Chang did not come back. He opened his mouth and saluted, "If you go back to Lord Marquis, the Zhuangzi where the eldest princess goes is a bit far from the capital, and it takes about an hour or two to go back and forth. Besides, it's dark. , Zhang Chang, he..."

He was interrupted by Wu Yi before he finished speaking, only to hear him shout in surprise: "I'm back, I'm back, Zhang Chang is back."

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Zhang Chang, who was busy with travel and dust, came back. He looked tired and didn't even have time to change his clothes. He stepped forward and saluted, "There was a tail when he came back. It took a while to get rid of him. Lord Hou..."

Waving his hands to signal him to silence, Zongzheng Mingzhen looked up on the roof, and when he saw a shadow flickering, he winked at Zichen.

Knowing that Zichen left, Zongzheng Mingzhen looked down at Zhang Chang and said, "It's cold, let's go in and talk."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the study first.

Zhang Chang followed closely behind, and after entering, Zongzheng Mingzhen opened the secret room.Go in and light the lamp, and switch it off again when he comes in.

"This subordinate has exposed his whereabouts, please punish him!" Zhang Chang already knew that he had not shaken off his tail, and Zhang Chang blamed himself very much, and remembering that Zongzheng Mingzhen repeatedly told him before leaving, he was even more ashamed.

Sitting down on the chair in the secret room, Zongzheng Mingzhen rubbed his aching temple, raised his hand to signal him to stand up and said, "I don't blame you for this, it's because I ignored the surveillance outside the house. Tell me, how is Mei Xin doing now? Have you ever conveyed my words one by one?"

If you can't write a letter, you can only ask your cronies to come and convey what you want to say to her.

Zhang Chang, whose knees were already off the ground, knelt down again, pleading guilty with shame on his face: "This subordinate is incompetent. The guards inside and outside Zhuangzi are so heavily guarded that we can't get close to him. This subordinate has not been able to see the eldest princess. However, this subordinate has already explained everything that Lord Hou said. Write it out and hand it over to Wang Geng, I believe he will pass it on to the eldest princess. Lord Hou, before my subordinates came back, I met the people in Duke Wen’s mansion. The eldest princess has already agreed to Wen Ruyan, the lord of Jiajing County, and she will be Princess Liang soon. .”

It means that Wang Geng knew him, otherwise he would have come back, and he would have been arrested long ago.

Frowning deeply and very curious, Zongzheng Mingzhen opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on, let's start from the beginning."

It's really bad to have a splitting headache, and what he said here and there undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and made him even more irritable.

He clearly felt that he was very, very unhappy, Zhang Chang didn't dare to be negligent, and after telling everything he saw and heard in detail, he said with emotion: "Master Hou didn't see the long The princess is really cruel. She gave her future stepmother a drink of the best son’s soup, and she was not allowed to bring her a dowry. Mr. Wen got angry on the spot and scolded her. The subordinates thought she would let go, but they didn’t care at all when they thought about it. It is also very tough. The most amazing thing is that Wen Ruyan agreed in the end. She has already drank Juezi soup and entered the Zhuangzi. Hou Ye, if this news spreads, the whole capital will not be boiled. This is unprecedented. matter."

There may be something secretly, but it's the first time he's seen her say it outrightly and confidently like her. Major General Mei Xinmei is really amazing!

Seeing that he was still in the mood to tease Zongzheng Mingzhen, his face was very ugly, and he said sharply: "Are you looking forward to letting everyone in the capital know?"

Shaking his head violently in his heart, he was so excited when he realized that he had said something wrong, he immediately admitted his mistake and lowered his head.

Angry and upset, Zongzheng Mingzhen said again: "No one is allowed to pass it on. If I hear half a word of gossip, I will ask you. What is going on in the temple? What good things did the princess Qiu Yuwei do?" ?”

He was scared to death when he heard that she almost had a miscarriage, and the mother was also very anxious.So, he quickly sent him out to inquire.

When mentioning this matter, Zhang Chang admired Mei Xin even more, and reported the truth: "I asked the monks in the temple that it was similar to what the rumors said, but how could the eldest princess be so strong in martial arts that she would fall down just by bumping it casually? And seeing her today is fine. If she really bleeds as the rumors say, she will definitely not be able to get out of the carriage, let alone walk. Therefore, the subordinates feel that there must be something inside. .”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chang raised his hand and slapped himself on the mouth. Annoyed in his heart, he felt that his broken mouth was a lack of twitching. He quickly explained to Zongzheng Mingzhen: "This subordinate is just guessing and has no real evidence. Please punish me if I make a slip of the tongue. .”

After finishing speaking, he slapped himself on the mouth again.

Probably because he didn't sleep all day and night, otherwise, why didn't he keep the door on his mouth, and said it as soon as he was bald, isn't this purely for scolding?

Zongzheng Mingzhen was very angry, but he didn't care because it was the first time for him.Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he leaned his head slightly on the back of the chair and said, "How are you doing with the things you were asked to do earlier? Is the cook in the East Palace reliable?"

The repeated provocations and troubles made him very uncomfortable, and he was even more annoyed when he found out that most of the rumors and attacks on Mei Xin in the capital were released by the Crown Princess Qiu Yuwei.Therefore, not long ago, he asked Yan Jingchen for Baoxixin powder, and handed it to Zhang Chang to buy the cook of the East Palace to secretly put medicine in her diet.

Xixin San, as the name suggests, will make people lose their minds, a bit like losing their minds.

Afraid of getting burned, Zhang Chang did it very secretly, so no definite information has been obtained yet.However, judging from his previous investigations, it is absolutely reliable.

He didn't dare to hide anything from Zongzheng Mingzhen. He answered truthfully, but he couldn't wait and ordered directly: "The time is too long. Tomorrow, I will send a letter to ask her to increase the dose. Heard the news that she was mad."

If you dare to hurt Mei Xin and his children, you have to pay a price, and if Mei Xin doesn't do it, he will do it.

Zhang Chang had a deep understanding of how to become a beauty when she rushed to the crown.He bowed his hands and immediately accepted the order. He then said: "Master Hou asked his subordinates to investigate An Qizheng, the doctor next to the eldest princess. He has found out that three generations of his ancestors have been walking in the Imperial Hospital. His father left the capital because he offended Concubine Xian. He is a good friend of Mei Jinze, the prince of Liang. The two grew up together and have a deep relationship. He often lived in Liangzhou when he was a child, and he often lived in the General's Mansion. The eldest princess regarded him as a real brother. According to Liangzhou The news from my son said that they were childhood sweethearts, and that General Mei was very fond of him and wanted him to be his son-in-law."

"Son-in-law, are you sure? General Mei really likes him?" Zongzheng Mingzhen's head was about to explode with a thunderbolt in the clear sky. He was really afraid of something. He was particularly worried about this this afternoon, and it really happened.

Childhood sweetheart, this rival in love is undoubtedly much stronger than Kou Zhenhai, the most important thing is that he has already got the approval of Mei Zhannan and Mei Jinze, as long as Mei Xin nods, the matter will be settled.
