After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 437
Hong Xiu nodded, and asked her again: "Are you going to send it to the princess? Or the concubine of Chu? It should be the concubine of Chu. The princess doesn't look like she likes Duanyan."

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "None. I want to give it to Concubine Jing."

She didn't care how King Xin'an died, but she knew that Concubine Jing's contribution was indispensable.

At the beginning, she used the dedication of the painting to lure Prince Xin'an to the capital in order to make him appear in Concubine Jing's sight.

Now the goal is achieved.

"I heard that Concubine Jing has regained the favor. This is a happy event worthy of congratulations, isn't it?"

After she finished speaking, she remembered what Pei Yan told her in her previous life.

Zhang Gu, the king of Xin'an County, was originally the adopted son of the old county king.The old county king has only one daughter, and that is the current Concubine Jing, whose maiden name is Runing.

According to the old county king's plan, he wanted to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter.He also planned to divide the family business of the county king's mansion equally between his two children.

But Zhang Gu, although he has no skills, has great ambitions.In order to occupy the family business of the county prince's mansion, he seduced his younger sister Zhang Runing in a way.

The old county king was very angry about this, but in the end he couldn't resist his daughter's request and planned to betroth his daughter to his adopted son.

But I didn't expect that it would be a side event later: the emperor who visited Xin'an County on Weifu privately fell in love with Zhang Runing.

It all started with a chance encounter.

Few people know that this encounter was arranged by Zhang Gu.

Because he changed his mind, he didn't like Zhang Runing, but he couldn't bear the easy-to-get Prince's Mansion, so he came up with this method.

Zhang Runing cried one after another, and in the end the emperor's order was hard to break, and he returned to the capital together with the emperor, and was named Jing Concubine ever since.

Not long after entering the palace, Zhang Gu married his wife, and then the old county king died of illness.The time is so close that it's hard not to wonder if there's something tricky about it.

Of course, when Pei Yan talked about this matter with her, he used a joking tone.After all, the matter of disappearing has nothing to do with me, it's just talk, there's no need for everyone to take it seriously.

When Yun Zhuo heard this, she only felt that this concubine Jing was pitiful.

It wasn't until later that Xie Jie found her and asked her to present a painting in a similar way. Looking at the content of the painting, she thought of the king of Xin'an County, and then ordered someone to check the past. After several twists and turns, she finally found out.

It was the expected result.

The death of the old county king was caused by Zhang Gu.

After his daughter entered the palace, the old county king finally became suspicious. He is a person who pays attention to etiquette and rules. The emperor was a guest at the county palace. Climbing high branches by all means.How did the two meet again?

It's also because Zhang Gu didn't do things well and couldn't stand the investigation.Afterwards, the old county king only took care of it a little, and found out that he was involved in this matter.

So he was furious and planned to expel the adopted son from the house.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Gu had been prepared for a long time, and joined the housekeeper to control the old prince, first married the girl he liked, and then forced the old prince to death with a glass of poisoned wine.

Finally, Yun Zhuo found a way to deliver the found information to the palace, and set up a scheme to send Zhang Gu's weakness to Concubine Jing.

Under such circumstances, it was a breeze for Concubine Jing to hold Zhang Gu.

Yun Zhuo has never doubted Concubine Jing's vengeance, she can see it from herself, she must not underestimate a woman who harbors hatred.

……

Xie Jie left from the book shop, and did not go back to Xie's mansion, but turned around and went to Lanshilou.

In the old days, there were always many people in Lanshilou. In the capital, literati, high officials and nobles all liked to go to Lanshilou to drink new tea, talk about love and affairs, and talk about business.

For those who have money and leisure, the Rotten Stone Building is always the best choice.This kind of ethos has spread in the aristocratic circle of Kyoto, and now it has even become a symbol of the status of the aristocratic class.

After all, not everyone can afford tea that costs hundreds or thousands of taels a tael.

So no matter when, there are always guests in the Rotten Stone Building.

But today is different.

The shopkeeper and his assistant stood guard at the door, and when he saw someone about to go in, he bowed and rested with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry today, the Rotten Stone Building does not accept foreign guests, please come back tomorrow."

Some felt uncomfortable, and just as they were about to swear, a brocade guard in a flying fish suit and a black gauze hat looked over coldly. The golden knife was out of its sheath by an inch, indicating that his patience had run out.

Naturally, it scares the crap out of the people who want to make trouble, how can I remember that I am not convinced, and running away is the business.

On the second floor, Xie Jie looked at the prince Pei Ding in front of him, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the prince is calling, what's the matter?"

Although he is the prince's teacher, the two of them seldom communicate in private to avoid suspicion.

When Fang came out from the door of the Shusi, Xie Jie was a little stunned when someone stopped him and said that the prince had an invitation.

In memory, Pei Ding is not such a reckless person.So Xie Jie decided that he had something important to do.

Pei Ding hadn't seen him for a long time, and when they met suddenly, he felt that he had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when he heard such a polite and unfamiliar sentence from him, he felt half-cold in his heart.

But it was only a moment.

He was an excellent student and always kept the words given to him by the teacher firmly in mind.

The teacher said that no matter when, there will always be an insurmountable gap between their identities. They are monarchs and ministers first, teachers and students second, and finally they may be close friends.

There is nothing wrong with the teacher's words, it is him who has the problem.The young prince thought so.

He made up his mind and said: "Before you left Beijing, you said that you had something to do in Linyao, so I never dared to look for you. Now that you have finally come back, I want to ask the teacher about the matter of the emperor, you Have you heard?"

Xie Jie thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I heard about it. I heard that the emperor's temper is getting more irritable and irritable, and he doesn't see people much anymore. What does the prince want to say?"

Pei Ding looked resentful: "I guess, it must be something that Yao Dao did. Father gradually became what he is now after he entered the palace. But you once told me not to act rashly no matter what happens. , we must first discuss with you before acting."

He has never doubted the teacher's intentions in saying this, and he has been with the teacher for more than three years, and he is deeply aware that if there is anyone in the court who is really thinking about him and will never harm him, that person will only be teacher.So he always kept the teacher's words in mind, even though he hated that monster, he didn't do anything.

"You want to attack Taoist Qingxu?" Xie Jie asked after hearing what he meant.

Pei Ding nodded.

"Your Highness, this is impossible." Xie Jie thought for a while, then waved his hand.
