After rebirth, the concubine counterattacked and became a royal concubine

"Isn't Zhang Shoufu curious why this king suddenly returned to this capital?"

King Qi took a sip of the hot tea that his servants had just poured for him, motioned Zhang Hengqing to sit down, and asked with an unclear expression.

He didn't believe that this old fox didn't hear anything about it.

After searching the city all night last night, although there was not much noise, Zhang Hengqing would definitely know it if he wanted to investigate.

Zhang Hengqing smiled faintly, looked directly into King Qi's eyes and replied frankly:

"Where His Royal Highness the King of Qi wants to go is not something that a small minister can control."

King Qi understood what he meant and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

I thought that this old guy Zhang Hengqing must be a tough nut to crack, but I never thought that he would have this attitude.

I thought he was so loyal to his father, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

"Zhang Shoufu is indeed smart. He is worthy of being a veteran of two dynasties, but he is different from those who have no eyesight."

Qi Dynasty looked at him with an appreciative look, and his expression softened a bit.

By the way, I want to give some connotations to those very few ministers with bad tempers and tough tempers. It would be great if everyone was as sensible as him.

He wouldn't have been worried all night last night.

but……

His fifth brother is still in his house, and he still needs to further confirm whether he is willing to be on his side.

Moreover, Jing'an and the eldest princess disappeared quietly in the palace. They must have taken some unknown secret passage in the palace.

Damn it, Emperor Jing refused to tell him.

Otherwise, how could two living people leave no trace at all?

And the young master of the Zhang family has always been close to Crown Prince Rong An. Since Jiang Que is not in the capital now, it is possible for Zhang Zeyu to hide him.

King Qi's eyes flashed, and he asked casually: "I heard that my fifth brother is now living in your house. Why doesn't he come to see my brother?"

Zhang Hengqing smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Back to the prince, your majesty sent someone to tell the fifth prince that he has been naughty and ignorant recently and refused to study hard, so he sent him to Wei Chen to take care of him. At this time, the fifth prince must be reviewing his studies. Scroll, that's why I didn't send anyone to inform him."

Zhang Hengqing told a small lie. In fact, the fifth prince was always very obedient and obedient. There was never a time when he was naughty and refused to study.

But only by saying this could he explain why he sent the person to the mansion.

King Qi raised his eyebrows curiously, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

He knew very little about this fifth brother and didn't pay much attention to him on weekdays.

After all, the age difference between them was too much, so he didn't take a little baby to heart.

"What's the point of reading those boring books all day long when my fifth brother is still young? I haven't seen him for a long time, so I came here to take him back today. Now that my father is seriously ill, my fifth brother should do his best to show his filial piety. That’s it.”

King Qi did not immediately tell the world that Emperor Jing had passed away. He needed to find the lost jade seal as soon as possible so that he could naturally become the new emperor of Jing State.

As long as he finds Yuxi and holds this little baby with half-hair in his hands, they will have to recognize him as the new emperor even if they don't want to!

Is it possible that we can really make that good-for-nothing Fourth Brother ascend the throne?

King Qi curled his lips disdainfully, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

If Emperor Jing's illness hadn't been so sudden and his preparations were not sufficient, otherwise the entire Jing Kingdom would have been conquered by him.

Zhang Hengqing knew clearly in his heart. He knew that King Qi was testing him just now. If he handed over the fifth prince without hesitation, it would be acknowledgment that he would be King Qi's man from now on.

Zhang Hengqing smiled and replied with a respectful but not flattering look: "I have been entrusted by your Majesty to teach the fifth prince well. Naturally, I dare not live up to your Majesty's expectations. Besides, your Majesty has the care of the prince and the hospital. There is really no shortage of fifth princes.”

King Qi tried to use filial piety to pressure the fifth prince to follow him back to the palace, but was Zhang Hengqing not just an old fox that became a spirit?

He pretended not to know anything and seriously rejected King Qi's request.

King Qi's originally proud expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with sparks of anger.

He originally thought that Zhang Hengqing was someone who understood current affairs, but he didn't expect that he was also a stubborn old man.

Couldn't he hear the underlying meaning of his words?

Pack!Keep pretending to him!

King Qi smiled sadly, and said with a gloomy look: "Does Zhang Shoufu mean that he doesn't intend to give me this face?"

This ignorant old guy will be the first to get rid of this stubborn old guy after he succeeds to the throne!

King Qi squeezed the tea cup in his hand and swore secretly.

Zhang Hengqing seemed not to feel the low pressure coming from King Qi. He took a sip of the already cold tea at hand, then shook his head and said:

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I dare not."

The anger in King Qi's heart became even more intense after hearing his words, and he saw that the anger in his heart had reached the top of his head.

On the surface, he said he didn't dare, but in fact, he refused to hand over the person!

What's the difference between this and going against the will?

Zhang Hengqing was indeed the person that his father trusted the most.

From the corner of his eye, King Qi suddenly saw a person in the distance shaking his head silently towards him.

King Qi's anger was mostly dissipated, and he frowned and suddenly calmed down.

Are they really not in this Zhang Mansion?Where was it hidden?

King Qi came to the Zhang Mansion today not only because of his fifth brother, but also because he suspected that Bai Zhaoyi and the others were hiding in the manor.

So on the surface, he was sitting here following Zhang Hengqing, but in fact, the secret guards around him had quietly explored the entire mansion.

Just now, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind and missed something important.

"That's all, it's my fault. However, I heard that my father is ill and I have just returned to the capital. I wonder if your young master has time to accompany me to try the new dishes at Wangjiang Tower? I heard that your father is ill. It tastes very good, it depends on whether Young Master Zhang is willing to give it a try."

King Qi did not mention that he returned to Beijing privately with his troops and horses, and Zhang Hengqing also tacitly agreed not to explain.

Since this old man is so difficult to deal with and can't get anything out of him after asking for so long, he might as well try another person.

Zhang Hengqing clearly knew that he had bad intentions but could not find any reason to refuse. He could only smile and ask his servants to call Zhang Zeyu out, and told him to accompany King Qi to have a good meal.

Zhang Zeyu also understood what he meant. He smiled bitterly and followed King Qi towards the outside of the mansion, looking like he was ready to die.
