Chapter 76
Zhu Jing spoke so earnestly, and when he said this, two lines of clear tears could not help but fall from his eyes.

Regarding these matters, he has never mentioned to anyone, but he has been strategizing all the time, for fear that one of his carelessness will bring disaster to his family.

However, despite all his calculations, he didn't consider his daughter's thoughts.This made all his calculations come to naught, and it almost killed Zhu Zixin. If he didn't deal with Zhu Ziqi, I'm afraid Zixin would not agree, but if he dealt with Ziqi, thinking that she had just escaped from the gate of hell... He couldn't bear to rush over, but now, he was in a dilemma, and couldn't help but feel sad from his heart.

"Father, father, even if it is a fire pit, my daughter is willing to jump! Father, please, find a way to let my daughter marry the king of Ji, father, please! My daughter begs you!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Zixin still hugged Zhu Jing's leg and begged for the truth.

"you……"

After hearing her words, Zhu Jing couldn't help being angry again. He pointed at Zhu Ziqi and said you, but then he couldn't speak. That's all, that's all, you should shut your door here and think about your mistakes, and when you figure it out, come back for your father."

After speaking, Zhu Jing turned around and left, but Zhu Ziqi tugged at the hem of his clothes and cried again: "Father, you let my daughter out, you let my daughter out, my daughter doesn't want to stay here, don't want to stay here, Dad, Let your daughter go out, my daughter doesn't want to stay here, my daughter doesn't want to stay here..."

But Zhu Jing lifted the hem of the clothes with his hands, took the clothes away from Zhu Zixin's hands, and left without looking back.

After leaving the door, he said to the guards: "Be careful, no one is allowed to see her."

"Yes, sir."

The guard dared not obey, and hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Jing went down the wooden stairs of the Chenxiang Pavilion and headed towards the palace. It was getting late, and it was time to go to court.

After getting into the carriage, he ordered: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first."

As soon as Emperor Nan Gongyao sat on the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall of the Moon Kingdom, there was a report from the frontier, saying that King Nan Gongxun of Ji had won a complete victory in the battle with the barbarians, and he would leave for Beijing soon.

Hearing this news, Nan Gongyao's face suddenly revealed an expression of approval, stroked his beard and laughed: "As expected of my son, although it's the first time he is on the battlefield, he can fight such a beautiful battle, which makes me very happy." It's a pleasure!"

When the ministers heard this, they dared to be indifferent, so the words of praise and congratulations kept coming and going.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! The King of Ji is Yingwu, a talented young man, really gratifying and congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and King Ji..."

"..."

Seeing this, Nangongxi felt a little displeasure in her heart, but she had to congratulate her father with everyone.

"Congratulations to the emperor and the sixth younger brother!"

"Hahaha... everyone is happy and happy!"

Nangong Yao burst into laughter immediately after hearing this!
The news quickly spread to the harem. After listening to Queen Li, she walked slowly to the window and said with a sneer, "The emperor's next step should be to reward King Ji. It is only logical that the imperial concubine Ying's ban should be lifted."

Seeing this behind her, Ling'er couldn't help worrying about her master, and said, "Empress, what should I do? Now that King Ji has made such great contributions, I'm afraid that his status in the court will be even more important in the future, and that Even us slaves can see King Ji's wolfish ambitions, let alone those ministers, the empress should think of a way!"

"What can I do? I can only watch all this happen. Although I have predicted it, but with my power, I can't turn the tide!"

"Your Majesty, I'd better discuss it with His Royal Highness before making a decision. After all, this matter is of great importance. You need to make plans early!"

"Well, you go to guard the gate of the Golden Luan Hall, and when the crown prince arrives in the morning, order him to come see me immediately."

Empress Li ordered.

"Yes."

Ling'er took the order and went immediately.

At the same time, Concubine Ying's Chiyang Palace was full of joy and laughter. Concubine Ying directed the maids to decorate the palace, and at the same time prepared fresh fruit snacks for Nan Gongxi. She will leave in a few days. It should not be a few days Will come back now.At that time, he must be tired, and he must be well mended!
"Imperial concubine, what a great honor His Royal Highness King Ji has won the battle. Now the emperor will definitely lift your ban. I'm afraid you will have a long time to enjoy peace and happiness in the future!"

The maid in green with a smile bloomed on her face, and said to the noble concubine while she was busy.

"Yes, yes! My Xun'er is promising! In the future, the palace will depend entirely on him!" Concubine Ying said with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction on her face.

At this time, in the Golden Luan Hall, Nan Gongyao announced his withdrawal from the imperial court, and all the ministers walked out of the Golden Luan Hall. Prince Xi walked out quickly. Seeing Zhu Jing approaching, he stretched out his hand to block it, and said, "Your Majesty didn't seem to sleep well last night! Look, the circles around your eyes are dark." gone."

Zhu Jing sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, there was a big event at home last night, the crown prince must have known about it, how can the lower officials sleep? What a family misfortune, family misfortune!"

Zhu Jing shook his head and sighed.

"Master Hou, you know, this king is not talking about this matter."

Seeing Zhu Jing joking with her, Nangongxi couldn't help but deepen the arc of her lips, and said again.

"Oh, that's what you said!"

Zhu Jing seemed to have just remembered and slapped his forehead.

Nangong Xi meant that he remembered, nodded and said: "Really!"

"Oh, His Royal Highness, I'm really ashamed. I'm so old, I'm really embarrassed to say it, so I don't dare to make it public. Since the crown prince asked, I don't want to hide it anymore. Please ask me next month." The Six Greats come here, ashamed! Ashamed!"

As Zhu Jing said, he kept shaking his head, looking really ashamed!

"..."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid with herself, Nan Gongxi was about to ask again, but the voice of the palace lady Ling'er came from behind: "His Royal Highness, the empress is here to invite you."

Turning her head and glanced at Ling'er, Nan Gongxi straightened her face, looked at Zhu Jing and said, "Master Hou is playing riddles with this king! But it doesn't matter, this king is not in a hurry for a while. The king will come again later. visit!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and followed Ling'er.Nan Gongxi knew that at this moment when the concubine mother came to invite him, there must be something important to discuss. As for Zhu Jing, it was only in Japan anyway.

Zhu Jing stood where he was, watched Nangongxi leave, and then hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, he went straight to the study, entered the secret room, waved his hand, and immediately two people bent over behind him to salute.

"See Lord Hou!"

"Go and check, those two fought against Prince Xi, give it to me right away..."

Zhu Jing performed the motion of beheading.

The two men in black behind them glanced at each other and replied, "Yes."

Zhu Jing turned around, walked out of the secret room, looked in the direction of the palace, and sneered.

Softly said: "Nangongxi, your wishful thinking has come to nothing!"

After speaking, he lifted his legs and walked out of the study.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a young servant ran over in a hurry, and when he saw Zhu Jing, he said, "Master, it's not good! It's not good..."

"What's all the fuss about? Say."

Seeing the flustered look of the boy, Zhu Jing couldn't help shouting.

"Yes...it's like this, the little one just went out to buy things, but found a group of people gathered at the door."

The boy stammered.

"People?"

Zhu Jing was puzzled and asked.

"What are they going to do?"

Zhu Jing asked.

"The common people say that the second young lady actually used snake berries to attract poisonous snakes to poison her own sister. She is really a snake-hearted woman. If the Marquis doesn't deal with her, it will be hard to tolerate that day..."

The boy said this, raised his head and said, "They also said that if Lord Hou doesn't deal with Second Miss, they will wait outside the door day and night, and spread the word about Second Miss' good deeds..."

"No reason!"

As soon as Zhu Jing heard the smoke from his seven orifices, he flicked his sleeves fiercely and said.

After speaking, he stepped towards the door.

When I opened the gate, I saw a lot of people gathered at the gate, clamoring for the Hou Mansion to open the gate. When they saw Zhu Jing coming out, they shouted even louder!Zhu Jing glanced at the crowd, and said coldly: "The fellow villagers are talking so loudly, the Marquis can't understand, it's better to send someone to talk to the Marquis."

As soon as his words fell, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Standing at the door, Zhu Jing scanned the crowd again, and asked in a cold voice, "Fellow folks, if you don't know how to come to my Marquis Manor to mobilize the crowd, what advice do you have?"

After Zhu Jing finished speaking, all the people looked at each other, no one spoke, there was a moment of silence, and a bold man in gray cloth clothes said: "Not long after the death of the mistress of the Hou Mansion, someone in the family is going to kill the only son-in-law. Daughter, Lord Hou has protected the murderer so much that we are very worried about Miss Di's situation, and we are also sad for the deceased Madam of the Hou Mansion! Please also ask Lord Hou to deal with the murderer severely and set the record straight!"

"Please deal with the murderer severely! Please deal with the murderer severely! Please deal with the murderer severely..."

As soon as the man's voice fell, the people spontaneously shouted over and over again. Due to the large number of people, the voice sounded like thunder, and Zhu Jing's eardrums were so shocked that Zhu Jing was about to burst. He was angry and helpless, however, seeing the dark crowd at the door, he also realized the seriousness of his gaffe, and he didn't dare to get angry easily.

After a while, after finally suppressing the anger in his heart for the time being, Zhu Jing raised his head, and when everyone calmed down, he said: "This matter about the Hou's Mansion will be handled properly this time. Go back, this time I will give everyone a reasonable explanation."

"No, we must see Zhu Ziqi punished immediately!"

After Zhu Jing finished speaking, it was obvious that some people in the crowd were dissatisfied and shouted out directly.

"Yes! Deal with Zhu Ziqi immediately! Deal with Zhu Ziqi now! Deal with Zhu Ziqi now... deal with..."

Someone shouted, and someone echoed, and another deafening sound rang out.
