The Way of the Consort

Chapter 29 Goodbye

Ji Zhao really hoped that he heard it wrong, but the meticulous expression of the guard in front of him told him that he heard it right.

Even so, Ji Zhao still couldn't believe it.

Ji Zhao paused for a moment, then realized that it was true, and said, "I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The guard still went about his business: "My son-in-law, Your Highness said he didn't see you."

Ji Zhao turned cold and repeated: "I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The son-in-law is famous for his good temper, and he laughs at everyone. The guards have never seen it, and they have heard of it.

Once the face is cold, it is also a bit scary, the guards have nothing to do, so they have to go back and report.

Ji Zhao stood at the bottom of the steps and waited, and soon, the guards came out. The same words, His Highness the Crown Prince did not see him, and told him to kneel down.

Ji Zhao wanted to ask them to go in again to spread the word, he could understand the prince's anger!The prince thinks he has greened the princess, but he can explain it!But two young eunuchs came out again, Ji Zhao didn't know him, and the guard turned back: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

The little eunuchs lowered their heads and bowed their waists: "Your Highness told the son-in-law to kneel quickly, and His Highness also said that if the son-in-law doesn't kneel, the whole family of Ji's family should kneel for the son-in-law."

"..." Ji Zhao was dumbfounded.

Although the prince is often inexplicable and has a strange temper, as long as he coaxes and pleases him, he is easy to talk to.In the past few months, Ji Zhao thought that he knew the prince well, and believed that the relationship with the prince would get better and better in the future.

Such a sentence immediately shattered all of Ji Zhao's fantasies.

His Royal Highness is a heartless psychopath!

After all, he gave so many gifts and said so many good things. Even His Majesty the Emperor listened to his explanation. Why didn't the crown prince listen to his explanation and tell him to kneel?

Just because the prince is the prince?

That's right, the crown prince is powerful, and his status alone can overwhelm him to death. Who told him to come here?

If he doesn't kneel, he believes that the crown prince can do something like asking the whole Ji family to kneel together. He has no feelings for the Ji family of this era, but he is also a real descendant of the Ji family. The Ji family has the self-esteem and respect of the Ji family. Proud, why kneel down for such a shitty thing?

Isn't it just kneeling, then kneel!

Who told him to be here, who told him to be so unlucky to encounter such a psychopath!Who told him to hold his own life in the hands of this psychopath!

Ji Zhao turned around vigorously, walked to a place about ten steps away from the stairs, and then vigorously lifted the corner of his clothes, expressionless, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".In fact, the sound could not be transmitted too far, and the guards and eunuchs standing on the stairs couldn't help shaking.The two little eunuchs walked over cautiously and stood guard beside Ji Zhao, obviously wanting to watch him!

Ji Zhao straightened his back, looked straight ahead, and the leaves flying in mid-air blew onto his face from time to time.

It was cold, the slate was hard and cold, and he was in a hurry to enter the palace. He didn't wear too much clothes. He grew up pampered, and soon his knees began to ache and chills.He got used to it, and it didn't take long for his back to be straight before it ached. He shook his hand in his sleeve, forcing himself to kneel even more straight.

Cheng Shen sneaked over from outside, Bao Qing winked at him, Cheng Shen also winked, then lowered his head and whispered: "Your Highness, the son-in-law is kneeling..."

"Hmm..." Zong Zhen sat behind the desk, buried his head in writing, and didn't lift his head.

Bao Qing winked at Cheng Shen again, Cheng Shen glared at him, if you want to say it yourself, if you don't have the guts to say it yourself, tell him to say it!Your Highness is in a fit of anger!

Bao Qing also glared at Cheng Shen, Cheng Shen flinched to the side, Bao Qing grinned at him, showing his teeth, threatening.

Cheng Shen lowered his head and resolutely refused to speak. Baoqing pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the princess is also with His Majesty..."

"Hmm..." Zong Zhen remained unmoved.

"I heard from my aunt at the Yanfu Hall that the princess and His Majesty felt that the son-in-law was framed and was waiting for the little widow to wake up—"

Zong Zhen looked up at him, Bao Qing's voice stopped abruptly.

Zong Zhen sneered: "Do you want to accompany the son-in-law to kneel together?"

Baoqing shut up and shrank back.

The wind outside was getting stronger and louder, but it was quiet in the study.Bao Qing and Cheng Shen looked at each other helplessly. To be honest, they didn't know what His Highness was thinking. After the complexion on the shooting range darkened, they didn't say a word until they heard that the son-in-law had entered the palace and asked someone to invite the son-in-law over. , When someone called, there was nothing else to ask, so he just called to kneel.

It's too—

Anyway, let the concubine explain it, right?

The son-in-law was never punished by His Majesty.

Cheng Shen listened to the wind outside, swallowed his saliva, and boldly said: "Your Highness, the son-in-law is still cold...how about asking the son-in-law to kneel in the hall?"

Zong Zhen put down his pen and sneered: "You may as well be the prince."

Cheng Shen was so frightened that his whole body broke into a cold sweat, and then he knelt down on the ground with all his strength, and there was a real "bang dang".

There was complete silence in the study, Zong Zhen simply got up, walked to the window, the wind roared outside the window, the sky became darker and darker, many maids ran out to light the lamps in the corridor and the lamps on the side of the road, but they couldn't illuminate the seemingly obscured area. The clouded sky is like Zong Zhen's mood.

When he learned that Ji Zhao dared to raise a little widow in Zhuangzi, he almost spit out blood.

At that moment, anger, self-blame, regret, and even a vague sense of fear all welled up in my heart, and the fear was the fear of my previous life.In his previous life, why did he die?Why did my sister die?Why was Jiangshan lost?

He had only been reborn for a few months, but he was deceived by Ji Zhao again and made the mistakes of his previous life.

He actually let Ji Zhao go because of Ji Zhao's nice words and flattering behavior.

The consequences of letting go?

Zong Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth coolly, and smiled quietly at the strong wind outside the window.

Ji Zhao ruined his heart, it was like this in his previous life, and it will be like this in this life.

Amid the sound of the wind, this thought flashed across his mind, Zong Zhen almost couldn't stand still, he stretched out his hand to hold the edge of the window, his fingers were tightly grasped, and his veins sprung up.

Amid the howling wind, the sound of rain gradually came, until two young eunuchs suddenly ran into the corridor outside the window, and Zong Zhen realized that it was raining.

The two little eunuchs were busy with wooden shelves and tarpaulins in their hands. Zong Zhen took a look and saw the cute and beautiful snowman who had been sitting there for many days and was still clean and tidy.Raindrops came into the window and hit Zong Zhen's face. Zong Zhen's face turned cold, and he asked, "What is this for?"

"Your Highness!" The little eunuch found him standing quietly by the window, and immediately said in fright, "I'm afraid that the rain will melt the snowman, so I want to cover it with an oilcloth."

It was raining heavily, and when it hit the corridor, the little eunuch could barely open his eyes, and Zong Zhen kept looking at the snowman.

In fact, its base has been gradually eroded by rainwater and is gradually melting.

The little eunuchs waited for his words and did not dare to move.

Two guards ran in again in the rain in the yard, saw him by the window, and immediately came over to ask for instructions: "Your Highness! It's raining so hard, my son-in-law—"

Zong Zhen was still looking at the snowman, as if he didn't hear his words.

"Your Highness—" the guard called him in a low voice.

Zong Zhen looked away and said to the little eunuch: "Let it melt..."

"Yes..." The little eunuchs bent down respectfully, took the wooden frame and tarpaulin and walked away without looking back. The snowman had already begun to grow shorter.

"Your Highness..." the guard had no choice but to remind him again.

"Continue to kneel..."

After Zong Zhen finished speaking, he turned and left the window.

The guard sighed silently, and ran back to the front yard.

Ji Zhao was so angry that he scolded others, mainly scolding the prince, and incidentally scolding God, and then thought, God can't just scold him casually, what if God is unhappy and makes him die again?

Who would have known that the rain would fall as soon as it was said!It's so big and so cold!

He was about to freeze to death, shivering all over from the cold, so cold that he couldn't straighten his waist long ago.

While trembling, he scolded the prince more vigorously in his heart. After scolding for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he didn't even know the specific name of the prince. There were so many princes and princes in history, why should he remember the name of this short-lived prince? ?

He didn't know which book he was wearing, but now he wished to wear the one he used to be the emperor.

If he becomes the emperor himself, he must torture the prince!He wants to kill the perverted prince!Before killing, let the pervert kneel for a day and a night, no, it is three days and three nights!

Why can you bully others with the title of prince? !

He was about to collapse on the ground, and the two little eunuchs around him looked at him and felt sorry for him, but they didn't dare to come forward to help him, so they kindly told him in a low voice: "My son-in-law! Guard Liu is going to ask His Highness! Renren! Our Highness has the kindest heart! He was just angry for a while!"

Yeah?Ji Zhao felt that he was about to lose consciousness. If the insane prince could find his way back, he could forgive the pervert and not be the emperor, so he would not kill him.

Then Ji Zhao took a deep breath, and tried to straighten his back again. The sound of stepping on rainwater could be heard in the distance. Ji Zhao looked at it with a little hope. The returning guards looked a little disappointed. He glanced at it and continued to stand guard.

Then Ji Zhao knew that a pervert is a pervert after all!

Ji Zhao's body and mind were cold, and his head began to calm down.

He was thinking, what is the purpose of living again?

For happiness, for freedom, for enjoying life.

Now in a feudal dynasty, as a non-royal family, he thought his life was not bad at first. After all, he is a son-in-law and a nobleman, so he has nothing to do with the royal family. As long as he treats the princess well, pleases the prince, and respects His Majesty, Don't get involved in anything, just live your own little life, presumably live happily to 99, isn't that a problem?

After he came here, he always thought about the crown prince in everything he did. There were delicious, delicious, and fun things to do, and the first thing he thought about was paying tribute to the crown prince.

I'd rather get sick from the cold than make him a snowman.

However, this pervert didn't even give him a chance to explain!

Right from wrong!black heart!No heart!

This time, even if he kneels unconsciously and falls here, that pervert probably won't let him go. Anyway, in the eyes of the crown prince, he is not a good person. He is sorry for the princess, so he is still kneeling here. What kneeling?Emperor Renzong is very good, but who is more important, he or the prince, any fool knows.

The prince can't please him anymore, the prince has disliked him from the very beginning!

It doesn't matter what he thinks, judging by the trend, he is sure that what he is wearing must be the plot of the crown prince about to kill him.

The prince will kill him eventually.

Then why is he still kneeling!

I'm going to die anyway!

Die and die!Anyway, he lived alive and kicking for a few more months, and he has no regrets!

Ji Zhao figured this out, and suddenly stretched out his hands to support the ground, trying to get up, but the two young eunuchs were stunned, Ji Zhao couldn't stand up, turned around and said angrily, "Come and help me!"

The little eunuch stumbled in fright and said, "My son-in-law, the crown prince didn't say...you...you can get up."

"Help me!"

"..." The two young eunuchs looked at each other, they stepped forward, and the two of them worked together to help him up.

It seemed that the legs were not his own anymore, Ji Zhao leaned weakly on the little eunuch, he had to slow down for a while before he could walk.The guards on guard also came, and everyone's eyes were half-closed by the rain. Before they could open their mouths, Ji Zhao said in a straight voice, "I won't kneel anymore! Go tell your Highness! If you are a man, hurry up!" come kill me!"

"..." The guards were also dumbfounded.

Ji Zhao didn't wait too long, he really didn't want to stay in this place.He left the little eunuch, staggered, turned around and left.The guards and the little eunuchs watched helplessly as the son-in-law actually left, their eyes were filled with confusion and admiration.

How can someone ignore His Highness the Crown Prince like this!

For a moment, they even forgot to go in and report to His Highness.

Fortunately, Ji Zhao has been to the East Palace several times, and he still remembers the way out of the palace. Fortunately, there are almost no people on the palace road under such heavy rain, otherwise Ji Zhao felt that he would not be able to leave the palace so smoothly.

Yin Ming and Chen Xing were guarding the gate of the palace, seeing him staggering out like this, they were so frightened that they immediately came up to support him.

It was only then that Ji Zhao seemed to have found his own driftwood, and leaned on Yin Ming with confidence.

Yin Ming was so strong that he was almost supporting Ji Zhao. When he got to the carriage, Ji Zhao didn't even have the strength to get into the carriage. Yin Ming hugged him into the carriage.Falling down on the familiar couch, Ji Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, trembling all over, and his teeth chattered.

Yin Ming and Chen Xing didn't ask any more questions. Chen Xing quickly pulled out a quilt from the small cabinet in the car, and put it all on Ji Zhao's body. Then he pulled out Ji Zhao's frozen hands and rubbed them together. .Yin Ming watched, then shook Ji Zhao's other hand.

Only then did Ji Zhao feel that he was still alive. When he looked at the two, his eyes suddenly became sore.

In fact, it was really worth it for him to live the extra few months. In his last life, because of his serious illness, he did not live with his family all the year round, and his family relationship was indifferent. When he came here, Mother Wei, Yin Ming and Chen Xing took good care of him. All his family.

Only now did he begin to regret that it was fine if he died, and he couldn't implicate these people.

He held the hands of the two of them softly with both hands, and they both looked up at him. Ji Zhao had lost his energy, and said softly: "Go back to the mansion, pack up, take the people out of the city immediately, and go there with you." , the farther away from Jinling City, the better. My land deeds, silver, etc. are all with Wei Mama, so I must go up the mountain to pick up Wei Mama and go with me, and I must escape far away."

"..." Yin Ming and Chen Xing were dumbfounded, Yin Ming frowned and asked, "Lang Jun, did His Majesty reprimand you?"

Chen Xing even said: "This matter has nothing to do with you! When the little widow wakes up, everything will be clear! Besides, even if this matter is true! How could His Majesty kill us!"

"Why?" Ji Zhao was puzzled, but Chen Xing said it too firmly.

Chen Xing said proudly: "When the late emperor passed away, he deeply felt ashamed of our ancestors, but he left a decree that no matter who becomes the emperor, we cannot touch members of our Yin family!"

Ji Zhao really didn't know about this.

Chen Xing said: "So you can rest assured! It's absolutely fine!"

Yin Ming also said: "Yes, sir, even if there is such a day, we will definitely follow him to the death!"

"That's it!" Chen Xing roared so righteously.

Ji Zhao was moved even more. With an indescribable feeling in his heart, he thought for a while and asked, "Where's the Ji family?"

Chen Xing curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It's even more impossible for their family." Then he whispered, "You know, Mr. Lang, the ancestors of the Ji family are said to be gods. There really was a stupid emperor in the previous dynasty who planned to move the Ji family. Later, he was directly struck to death by the thunder!"

Chen Xing spoke vividly, Ji Zhao listened and asked with interest, "Really?"

"Really! In fact, these emperors are faintly afraid of the Ji family. It's better to believe something like this than to believe nothing!"

"... "

So, for a while, he really can't die?

In fact, Ji Zhao still had a lot of things to explain, but the bedding was too warm, and his hands gradually warmed up. His eyelids soon drooped and he fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as he stopped moving, the smiles on the faces of Yin Ming and Chen Xing disappeared immediately, and they were filled with worry.

Chen Xing carefully stepped forward to touch Tan Ji Zhao's forehead, then turned around and told Yin Ming: "The burn is getting worse, what happened in the palace? Has our lord been punished by someone?"

Yin Ming was full of dissatisfaction, and cursed a few words in a low voice, which were all folk curse words, and Chen Xing didn't think he scolded badly this time.

Chen Xing sighed: "What should I do?"

"Since our lord has come out, no matter what happens inside, we just take care of him. Anyway, when lord lives, we live, and when lord dies, we die with him."

"Ok!"

When they returned to the mansion, the rain did not abate, so Ji Zhao was carried off the carriage by them and entered the house.

Ji Zhao wasn't asleep at all, he was in a coma, and the doctor was anxious to feel his pulse.When entering the palace, the little widow couldn't get in, so she lay down in the rear carriage, and when they came back, they naturally brought the little widow back.Yin Ming asked another doctor to guard the little widow. After making arrangements, he called Chen Xing out and said: "This time, someone must have framed our husband. I have to find out. I'm not at home, you have to guard Well, if—”

"Don't worry! If someone in the palace really dares to arrest our husband! I will take out the autographed book of our old man!"

Their family did have the last emperor's decree, and if they don't care about this so-called decree, they know that their precious grandson was forced to become a son-in-law. Just because he was afraid that the clan would go crazy again, Old Master Yin still remembered his old father, who had his head chopped off because the late emperor went crazy.

In Old Master Yin's mind, this family is a bunch of psychopaths, whoever loves to work for the royal family will go, and their family is determined not to go.

The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day ^-^.

Such a happy day, just happened to hit such a plot...

Zhao Zhao will not please him again in the future.
