The Red Mansions

Chapter 840 Zhen Qing: Blessed by gods and Buddhas, but it must be a boy

The sun shines on the courtyard in the winter morning, and the cold wind blows the fallen leaves and withered branches of the sycamore tree, which is quite desolate.

In the wing room, it was as warm as spring, and Jia Heng and Zhen Qing hugged each other tightly.

Jia Heng looked at the ruddy beauty with pale cheeks, and said, "You have to rest well these few days, and put on an extra pair of quilts at night. If you are bored, find something to pass the time."

Hearing the young man's rambling words, Zhen Qing's heart was filled with warmth, her brows and eyes were full of the young man's stern and shaved figure, and she murmured: "Zi Yu."

As he spoke, he leaned over again and saw that Jia Heng had nothing to do, so he took Jia Heng's hand and put it on the front of his clothes.

Jia Heng was a little speechless for a while, and could only respond to Zhen Qing's enthusiasm and build a snowman. In fact, he could feel the fear and attachment of the beauty.

how to say?Zhen Qing at this moment, after the child was gone, especially the cold-blooded and unfeeling performance of the King of Chu, although Zhen Qing was not on the verge of mental breakdown, but he was also hit hard, and he... is undoubtedly Zhen Qing. Sunny life-saving straw.

Only his infatuation with Zhen Qing's body as before made Zhen Qing feel that this relationship is still strong, and life will rekindle the fire of hope.

If he shows impatience, or is tired and indifferent in physical contact, Zhen Qing's sensitive and suspicious nerves will jump into panic, because Zhen Qing really only has him to rely on now.

The king of Chu cannot be truly forgiven, because of Chen Chun's death, there is a rift between the two that is difficult to mend.

Zhen Xue was also sitting at the side, looking at the two who were being intimate, the beauty's gentle and beautiful face was slightly flushed, she pursed her pink lips, and there was a trace of emotion in her eyes.

If she and her sister could always be with Ziyu, how good would it be to be together like this?Without those troubles outside, they were together carefree in a place where no one knew them.

Jia Heng and Zhen Qing were intimate for a while, then gently hugged the beauty's shoulders, pressing the plumpness and plumpness between her fingers into her heart.

Zhen Qing raised her beautiful face as before, her eyes were red and swollen from crying for the past few days, she was full of reluctance, she said softly: "Zi Yu, don't go, stay with me for a while."

As he spoke, he lowered his head.

Seeing this, Jia Heng looked stunned and a little dazed, but hesitated for a while, but couldn't push Zhen Qing away for a moment.

If she refused, it would undoubtedly make Zhen Qing feel even more panicked. She gently stroked a strand of beautiful woman's hair, the earrings on her earlobes gently swayed with brilliant luster, her gaze was far away, and her thoughts were racing.

After a while, Jia Heng handed over a handkerchief and said softly, "Qing'er, what's the matter with you? We're not here for a while."

How can he have any charming thoughts at this time?Moreover, the beauty is undoubtedly more caring and pitiful. This is the first time I have seen Mopan so humble and... flattering.

Well, although I know that this is Zhen Qing's state of mind when she is at a low point.

After a while, after giving birth, she probably drifted away in front of him again.

He knew this woman too well.

"I am your woman, and I should serve you." Zhen Qing's brows and eyes were full of charm, her throat rolled down, and she took the handkerchief. .

Immediately, Li Ren nestled that glowing face into Jia Heng's arms, tightly clutched Jia Heng's hand, and began to whisper in her voice: "You can't let me go in the future."

She only has this bastard, she only has him, if she dares not to let her go, she will take the child and hang herself in front of his door.

Jia Heng caressed Zhen Qing's shaved shoulders, hugged her into her arms, and said, "What are you talking about, you are my child's mother, why don't you want me?"

Mopan, don't become sickly, otherwise, in the name of love, you will actually hurt others. In the past few days, you need to pay special attention to Zhen Qing's mental state, and beware of such dangerous signs.

Zhen Qing let out a "huh" and gently stroked her lower abdomen. In fact, she hadn't had it for a month at this time, but the beauty is also a psychological bonus, feeling that there is a life in her belly that is being conceived.

Zhen Qing said softly: "Zi Yu, what name do you want to name this child in the future?"

Jia Heng said: "There should be a naming system in this clan, just let them decide."

Prince Chen Han's name should be based on the five elements.

Zhen Qing was obviously dissatisfied with Jia Heng's perfunctory attitude, and said, "You can't think about it, this is your first son."

Jia Heng said softly: "Boys and girls are still different, and I'm not in a hurry to name them now."

"Why don't you call me Chen Yu?" Zhen Qing raised her beautiful eyes, looked at the young man burning brightly, and said in a low voice: "In the future, he will be good at fighting like his father, with unparalleled strategies?"

Jia Heng: "..."

No, big sister, can you keep a low profile?Chen Yu, so that others don't know it's his child?

"When the time comes, it will be fine according to the clan code. No matter what you call, it will be my child." Jia Heng gently stroked Zhen Qing's cheek, and lightly kissed Zhen Qing's forehead.

Zhen Qing obviously enjoyed Jia Heng's pampering and affectionate gesture, and the original despair and grief in her heart gradually dissipated.

The two cuddled together and talked for a while, mainly Zhen Qing was talking and Jia Heng was listening.

Jia Heng didn't realize that Zhen Qing talked so much before. She came to Chu Palace as a princess when she was a child, talking about her hard work and difficulties in these years.

After a while, Jia Heng glanced at the sky outside, unknowingly it was already late, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er, let's do this for today, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

He can come to look for Zhen Qing in the name of investigating the case and reporting the case.

It is definitely not possible to do other things today, not to mention other things, Mopan has just lost a child, and it is a sad time, so I have to always want to color regardless of the occasion.

Zhen Qing looked at the boy reluctantly, wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, and said in a charming voice, "Then don't forget."

The beauties and little women at this moment are full of looks.

Jia Heng reached out and pinched the delicate skin of the beauty's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've been dreaming about you in my dreams these few nights."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes on Zhen Xue who was not far away, and said in a gentle voice, "You take good care of her recently."

Zhen Xue responded in a low voice, stood up, and said softly, "Zi Yu, I'll see you off."

Zhen Qing looked at the backs of the two leaving, pursed her red lips, gently stroked her lower abdomen, sighed, and was in a daze.

God bless, but it must be a boy.

Jia Heng nodded, without further words, stepped out of the wing room, looked at Chen Xiao who was waiting under the eaves, and said expressionlessly: "Xiaoxiao, let's go back."

Chen Xiaoyu's face was as cold as frost, flying slantingly under the thin eyebrows at the temples, her eyes were indifferent, she nodded, followed Jia Heng out of Zhen's mansion, came to the street, and asked: "Where are we going now?"

"Go home." Jia Heng sat on the horse, holding the rein, and sighed inwardly.

Originally, I wanted to talk to Jinyang about the recent events, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it, Jinyang is also pregnant at the moment.

Both of them stopped talking and rode back to Ningguo Mansion in silence.

Ningguo Mansion, Study Room
Jia Heng sat down on a carved chair with a backrest behind the desk, staring intently at the picture scroll hanging on the wall, and the wing room was extremely quiet for a while.

Chen Xiao sneered, looked at the boy in the python suit with clear eyes, and said, "Do you find it tricky now?"

Jia Heng turned to look at the slender and beautiful girl, dressed in a flying fish suit with a heroic figure, she couldn't help chuckling and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

He didn't think it was difficult, but he was thinking about the future. It is unrealistic to find out Chen Yuan in Jiangnan's case, and the most important thing is to wait for a while and return to Beijing.

Chen Xiao picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng, walked closer, and said in a low voice: "Tough mouth, once it leaks out, trying to get involved in the blood of the Tian family, no matter how much the person in the palace trusts you, he will inevitably feel guilty." Bad luck."

Jia Heng reached out to take the teacup, put it aside, took the girl's hand, and with embarrassing brows, pulled Chen Xiao to sit in his arms, and said: "This is the end of the matter, everything is a trick of fate. "

Chen Ling struggled a little, and stopped moving, but said with a cold face: "Zhen Qing, this woman, I tell you, is by no means a kind person, and now she is pregnant with your child, so she may have any evil intentions in the future , the Prince of Chu’s mansion hasn’t had a single child in recent years, and those people who served the bed back and forth, where do you think they went?”

If he was crowned a great treasure in the future, with Zhen Qing's desire for power, he would definitely make another fool. If that day really came, she could only be the villain.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although she is a bad woman, she is also a smart person. She knows where my bottom line is and will not mess around."

After all, Zhen Qing is giving birth to him, so it's not easy to say harsh words, but the defense deep in his heart has never been dispelled, and he has never been blindly immersed in the joy of being a father.

He is not only responsible for Zhen Qing, but also responsible for Daiyu, Baochai, Miaoyu, Yuanchun and others who have tied their hearts to him behind him.

Now it's just a matter of knocking out the fantasies in Zhen Qing's heart little by little, and let Zhen Qing completely calm down after she has a child.

Chen Ling pursed her cherry lips, her cheeks as clear as snow blushed slightly, she stretched out her hand and ruthlessly pushed away Jia Heng's hand that was trying to make a snowman, and said angrily, "You better know."

When I hugged her, I was thinking about that demon concubine, it was unreasonable!
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, after this assassination, the backyard cannot be without defense. Do you have such female guards to help protect?"

Chen Xiao said softly: "I have such a group of people in my hand, but there are too many people around you, I'm afraid it's not suitable for a while, I'll pick a few confidants, the key is that you have to be prepared in advance, They usually don’t go out much, so they shouldn’t encounter anything dangerous.”

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "There are two servant girls who are proficient in martial arts in the house. They used to study with Xia Houying from the princess's house, and usually protect Keqing and the others."

What Xiaoxiao said is also correct, if according to the original book, the scope of activities of Chai Dai and others is in the Grand View Garden, and there are many guards secretly protecting the two mansions of Ning and Rong.

Chen Xiao frowned and said in a low voice, "Let go of me."

Jia Heng moved closer to the girl's cheek and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, let me kiss you."

Xiaoxiao should cultivate more relationships, and the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds recently.

"You...you rinse your mouth first." Chen Xiaoyou reprimanded in a low voice with a look of shame and anger between her clear and bright eyes.

Just hang out with the Yaofei of the Zhen family.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, rinsed his mouth quickly, and said, "Okay, rinsed."

Chen Ling was speechless for a moment, turned her face away, avoiding Jia Heng.

And the young man leaned over again, so he had to gently close his eyes, letting Jia Heng be frivolous.

As time passed, a cheek with a clear face and icy skin was slightly hot, pushing the shoulder of the young man who leaned over to eat the snow, and said angrily: "You, you..."

Jia Heng said in a vague voice, "Eat a pear to calm your shock."

Chen Xiao: "..."

The girl's heart was filled with shame and anger, and she cursed secretly, what a bastard is looking for excuses to bully others again, she will not peel pears for this bastard again, but she can't do anything about that boy.

While the two of them were rubbing their hands together, Qingwen's voice came from outside: "My lord, the King of Chu has handed over a letter of invitation to see Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao whose cheeks were as red as rouge, and said in a low voice, "You wait here, I'll go see the King of Chu."

The king of Chu came to visit at this time, it should not be because of "Xi Dang Dae" who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, it may be because of other things.

"You go, I'll read a book now." Chen Xiao glared at Jia Heng, straightened the slightly messy skirt, her voice remained cold.

Perhaps her worries about Zhen Qing before were unnecessary, this person was on guard against her, if she hadn't been so close to him, she wouldn't have let her send some people into the mansion.

Ningguo Mansion, in the flower hall——

Chu Wang Chen Qin sat on a pear wood chair, drinking tea and waiting.

Today's king of Chu changed into a splendid and colorful cotton robe, with a green emerald hanging from his belt, perhaps because of the pain of bereavement after being assassinated by a posthouse, the expression on the face of this feudal lord was not very good.

Not long after, he heard the sound of footsteps and voices outside the eaves, the King of Chu got up quickly, and greeted the tall and tall young man, saying, "Zi Yu."

Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, are you here?"

After the two parties exchanged greetings, the host and guest were seated separately.

The king of Chu cast his sharp eyes on Jia Heng's face and asked, "Zi Yu, have you ever found the rest of Zhao Wang?"

Jia Heng said: "Jinyi Mansion is still investigating. Judging from the standard crossbow used by the gangsters earlier, it seems that it was made by the Jingzhong Arms Supervision. Looking at the corpses, it is also difficult to identify their identities, but it is a pity that these people are all dead men, and no one is left alive."

In the past few days, the Jinyi Mansion was naturally not idle. It can be said that a series of clues such as the traces of the assassination and weapons, and even the shadow graphics began to search for Chen Yuan's whereabouts.

The King of Chu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Yongning, the remaining party of the King of Zhao has been searched in Jinling City recently. People in Jinling City are in a state of panic. Everyone thinks that a big prison will be set up. I wonder what Uncle Yongning's plan is?"

Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and when he understood the purpose of his visit, he said, "My lord, this was a routine inquiry. Before the lord was assassinated, there should be a report from the remnants of Zhao Wang in the Jiangnan officialdom. All these need to be screened and reviewed."

The King of Chu hesitated for a moment, and said carefully, "Ziyu, after the war in the south of the Yangtze River, shouldn't there be a big prison? And it's hard to find the real culprit if you're looking for a needle in a haystack."

Jia Heng said: "My lord, don't worry, the Jinyi Mansion will not wrongly wrong a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. It is still in the preliminary investigation stage, even if people are arrested, there will be evidence, and there will be no unjust prisons."

I added in my heart, except for the Fang family.

The King of Chu nodded, and said: "Since Ziyu took charge of the Jinyi Inspectorate, he has restrained Tiqi, conquered the captives externally, and acted impartially internally. The ruling and opposition parties have witnessed it."

He came here only to show an attitude, to sell Jiangnan officials' face, not really to stop the investigation.

After finishing talking with the King of Chu, Jia Heng sent the King of Chu away, looking out of the courtyard with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"What is he looking for you for?" Chen Ling opened the bead curtain, and asked the young man with clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows.

Jia Heng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a low voice: "What else can I do to invite people's hearts, this is the time..."

Her own son died at the hands of thieves, and she still can't forget to make political capital for herself, no wonder Qing'er is disheartened.

Time flies, and before you know it, another three or four days have passed.

These days, while Jia Heng was investigating the case in Jinyi Mansion, he went to Zhen Qing's residence to visit Zhen Qing, and then dealt with the visits of various Jiangnan officials, and then took time to go to Jinyang Princess Mansion.

Jinyi Mansion, the official office of the Zhenfu Division

Sitting behind the case, Jia Heng covered the file in his hand, looked down at Zhen Yingjia, and said, "Shibo, these are the recent summaries of the Zhen family's corruption over the years, as well as other seized assets. Shibo can see it." Look, if you think there is no problem, then file it, and I can report it to the Holy Majesty."

After this copying and inspection, the valuation of the Zhen family's wealth was in the tens of millions, which was a little more than he had imagined, and the deficit of Jinling Tirenyuan was as high as 6000 to [-] million.

This is the money embezzled during previous southern tours, and many of them have become bad debts, so it is not easy to count them at all.

As for the wealth of the Zhen family, there is both corruption and income from the Zhen family's own business over the years.

After all, the Zhen family has controlled many high-quality industries in Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou over the years, and their decades of operating income have turned into family wealth.

There is no doubt that so many goods will all be filled into the treasury.

Jia Heng thought about it, and handed the dossier in his hand to Li Shu, the guard in Jinyi, who handed it over to Zhen Yingjia.

At this moment, Zhen Yingjia took the file with a sad face, flipped through it briefly, signed and stamped on it.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Shao, Zhen Xuan, Zhen Zhu and the others, and said in a low voice: "The rest is waiting for the grace of the palace, Shi Bo, please be safe and don't be impatient."

This case is considered to be closed today, there is no denunciation. Of course, the Zhen family still concealed the matter of sending silver to the King of Chu.

Jia Heng didn't continue to ask this question.

The king of Chu was assassinated and his son died young. It was the time when the king of Chu was unlucky. At this time, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to talk about these things with the emperor and put on eye drops.

The affairs of the heavenly family involve family affection, so it is difficult to take it seriously with any laws and regulations.

Zhen Yingjia asked: "Ziyu, now that the case is over, can we go back to Zhen's house to reflect behind closed doors?"

When Zhen Zhu heard this, he also looked at the young man. A lot of things happened in the house recently, and he also wanted to go back and have a look.

"The Uncle still needs to stay in the imperial prison first, waiting for the order of the Holy Majesty." Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and explained: "Otherwise, there will be some dissenting voices, and the impeachment of the Uncle Shi will not be conducive to the grace of the Holy Majesty. Forgive me."

After hearing the words, Zhen Yingjia finally sighed, exchanged glances with Zhen Shao, Zhen Xuan and the others, and then returned to the imperial prison under the guidance of the guards. Actually, the environment of the imperial prison is not bad.

Jia Heng asked Liu Jixian, "Where is Mr. Fang?"

Liu Jixian clasped his hands and said, "Master Fang has not yet confessed, he has not been ordered by the governor for his humble position, and he has not been tortured yet."

Jia Heng's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it for now, just wait for the court's order."

Fang Yaochun should not have anything to do with Chen Yuan, this was a frame up, as the person who wronged Fang Yaochun, naturally he knew his wronged better than anyone else.

While he was talking, suddenly a Jinyi mansion guard came from outside, cupped his hands and said: "Captain, the King of Beijing Jing has arrived in Jinling, and there is an imperial decree for the governor."

Jia Heng was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself, the water solution came so fast, did it really come in a hurry?
At this moment, Wang Shui Rong of Beijing, accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers, stood in front of the gate of Jinyi Mansion Zhen Fusi, and handed the reins of the horse to the soldiers beside him.

This road was really rushed at a speed of six hundred miles. This handsome young county king could see the fatigue of the long-distance travel on his face, but his eyes were full of radiance and his heart was agitated.

Even after arriving in Jinling, she didn't go to see Princess Zhenxue of Beijing and her daughter Shui Xin, but came to see Jia Heng immediately.

"My lord, we are messenger angels, so we might as well go in directly." The general beside him said.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "That's right, Jinyi Mansion is an important place, but Jia Ziyu is working in the mansion right now, so it's okay to wait a little longer."

It won't be long before I can see Ziyu.

Not long after, a few royal guards came from the wide-open middle door, surrounded by a young man in python, holding the Tianzi sword, striding forward with a calm demeanor, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

Seeing the person coming, excitement appeared on the water-soluble face, he walked a few steps quickly, and called out: "Zi Yu."

Jia Heng looked at Shui Rong with kind eyes, smiled and said: "The prince is here."

This tone of looking forward to the stars and the moon undoubtedly made Shui Rong feel an indescribable comfort, with a smile on his handsome face, he said: "Zi Yu, since I was ordered by the Holy Majesty, I dare not neglect the important affairs of the country. Finally hurry up and hurry up, didn't delay the business?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "My lord, the preparations for the naval division are indeed more urgent, but you don't have to be too tired."

Xue'er hasn't shown her bosom yet, so it's really not too late at this time.

Shui Rong said excitedly, "The Holy Majesty has given you his will."

After calming down for a while, Emperor Chongping issued another decree before Shui Rong set off, to the effect that he would return to Beijing immediately after dealing with the case of King Zhao's remnants.

If no results can be found in a short period of time, the case can be put aside and the secret investigation is still the most important thing.

Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite and said: "This is not a place to talk, the prince will go to the official hall to talk."

　Ask for a monthly pass!
