The Way of the Consort

When Zong Zhen heard about this, he was fighting with Chen Keye on the shooting range, his clothes were all tied around his waist, and the two of them were fighting back and forth in the open space, their figures were very fast, Bao Qing was dazzled by the sight , clapping and applauding from time to time, Cheng Shen came panting and shouted: "Your Highness! Your Highness! It's not good!"

Zong Zhen withdrew his hands, turned around to look, and Cheng Shen hurried in.

"What happened?"

Cheng Shen told him what happened on Suzaku Street, and handed him the paper in his hand: "Look!"

Zong Zhen frowned, took it in his hand and looked at it.

Chen Keye also said strangely: "These days, my subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on all the bodyguards, restaurants, and teahouses, including the horse old beggar, to ensure that no suspicious person has contacted them. There is no movement from He Qiniang. After disappearing, he never appeared again, and there was no trace of him in the hut outside the city. Lao Liu has been guarding the city gate these days, going in and out every day. They all know how many foreigners and suspicious people there are. Yes, if there is anything wrong, they will keep an eye on them, but there is no change today."

Just as he was talking, Zong Zhen's bodyguards also came back. They said with certainty that the masked man did not do what happened today.

Chen Keye looked at the paper in Zongzhen's hand again: "Paper is expensive in the city, if you want to know who it is, maybe you can start with this paper."

Zong Zhen looked at the paper front and back, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and said to Chen Keye: "Go and check, in the past few days, which one has bought chickens, ducks, fish, geese and other poultry in large quantities. "

Chen Keye's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands: "Subordinate, let's go!"

Where did so much blood come to write this?Naturally, the blood of animals was used.

This matter is easy to investigate, no matter how meticulous it is, chickens, ducks, fish, and geese will not be born out of thin air. Chen Keye soon found out that almost all the chickens, ducks, fish, and geese in the poultry market have been bought back by the Wen family. It's normal, after all, there is a funeral at home, so we need to invite eminent monks to save us. These things are used a lot.

The answer was indeed so, Zong Zhen smiled coolly.

He hadn't thought about finding trouble with Wen Zhichang, but Wen Zhichang wanted to find Ji Zhao first.

Zong Zhen raised his eyes to look at Chen Keye, and asked him: "You said that Yu Xin [Yu Dalangjun] was brought out by Yu Tan, and now he is no longer in Yancheng Prison, but in a nearby town."

"Yes……"

The most outstanding son, Yu Tan will naturally not give up. It has been a few months since the matter has passed. It is a trivial matter for Yu Tan, a powerful prime minister, to quietly get his son out of the salt field. Anyway, His Majesty is a kind person. In the new year, on the anniversary of the Queen's death or her birthday, the world will be pardoned. If he pleases him at that time, there will always be a way to bring his son back and restore his fame.

He thought he did it without anyone noticing, but Zongzhen was no longer the Zongzhen in his previous life.

Zong Zhen tore off the paper in his hand, and said as he tore it, "Then let them be lively."

Chen Keye smiled: "Yes!"

After speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Wen Zhichang really thought that Ji Zhao hired someone to kill Wen Guiren. After all, in his opinion, only Ji Zhao had such strength and ability, not to mention His Majesty's cover-up.Of course he knew what his son was, but his son was dead, and it was normal to do such a thing under extreme pain.

He also knew that this move would not do anything to Ji Zhao, he just wanted to pour Ji Zhao's dirty water, and he couldn't wash it clean, just to disgust Ji Zhao.

As for what will happen to His Majesty and the Crown Prince, just as the old man Yin said, he has been a powerful minister for more than ten years, standing on the top of the mountain, he has long forgotten his true identity, and the last trace of calm was completely washed away by the death of his son.

Zong Zhen no longer had the mind to continue on the shooting range, put down his clothes, and returned to the East Palace, hesitating whether to see Ji Zhao.

He thought, and really wanted to see Ji Zhao, Ji Zhao must be angry, sad, scolding Wen Guiren again.

But what about after meeting?It was nothing more than being ridiculed by Ji Zhao again, and Ji Zhao didn't like him, besides—just thinking of the scene where Ji Zhao and Fu Chen were embracing that day, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves unconsciously.

Halfway through, a little eunuch from the Eastern Palace ran over: "Your Highness! The son-in-law is here!"

Zong Zhen was stunned, and immediately walked quickly, leaving them all far behind. The little eunuch was stunned, and then chased after him: "Your Highness! Your Highness! The son-in-law is going to Yanfu Palace!"

Zong Zhen stopped and looked back at him: "Yanfu Palace?"

"Yes! The son-in-law has been here for less than half an hour, and the younger one has just heard about it, so he hastened to tell His Highness!"

Zong Zhen frowned, what did Ji Zhao do in Yanfu Palace?The point is, the emperor hasn't sent him to the East Palace yet, so does he have something to say?

Zong Zhen walked faster, almost running on the palace road, heading for Yanfu Hall.

"Are you going to Liangguo?" Renzong was quite surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Ji Zhao heard from the princess that tomorrow the mission will go to Liang Kingdom to celebrate the Liang Kingdom's emperor's birthday. Ji Zhao stays in the city, but it's still—"

When Renzong looked at him, there was a trace of grievance on his face, and Renzong also sighed.

For a son like Wen Guiren, Wen Zhichang would not hesitate to do this. Renzong naturally felt distressed no matter how he looked at it. It was Ji Zhao who made people feel distressed. The child is better than his own. He just heard about this. But the above can distinguish right from wrong. This kind of thing that can only appear in the book when there are bloody books and grievances, it seems that it is artificially fooling people.

In the past year, so many things happened in the city, and Ji Zhao could be involved in everything.

After all, Ji Zhao came from an extraordinary family background, and now he is a son-in-law, so it is reasonable to be jealous and teased, and Renzong also felt sorry for the child.Ji Zhao was good to Fu Chen, and Fu Chen was his only daughter, and he often said good things about Ji Zhao in his ears, so he naturally treated Ji Zhao better.

He thought about it for a moment, Ji Zhao is a son-in-law, and a descendant of the Ji family and the Yin family, and his status is already high, so it makes sense to go to Liangguo with the mission. , now that the city is like this, it's not bad to avoid it.

He said lovingly: "These days, I really wronged you."

"I'm not wronged, as long as Your Majesty, Your Highness and Princess trust me."

"Stupid boy, of course I believe you. I will order someone to investigate this matter carefully, and I will return your innocence. Wenxiang, after all, you are old and confused! You can believe this kind of thing!" Renzong patted Pat him on the shoulder, "Since you have the heart, go with the mission for a while, it can be regarded as gaining insight."

Ji Zhao got up immediately and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"Get up..."

Just as Renzong finished speaking, Xiang Sheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here."

Ji Zhao bowed his head and curled his lips, Renzong hurriedly said, "Quickly call Brother Zhen in." He said to Ji Zhao again, "Brother Zhen must have heard about this too."

While talking, Zong Zhen walked in.

He was still at the door, so he looked at Ji Zhao who was standing next to his father. Ji Zhao lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. He hurried in, and before he asked, Renzong said, "It's good that you come , You also enlighten Brother Zhao a few words, this child has been greatly wronged."

Zong Zhen walked in front of him, looked down at him, and said softly: "I've heard about it..."

Ji Zhao lowered his head, but he didn't dare to roll his eyes in front of His Majesty, so he could only say "Hmm".

"Don't worry, I won't let you be misunderstood."

Ji Zhao repeatedly hummed in his heart.

Renzong continued: "Just now I was talking to Brother Zhao about this matter. I think these days, it would be better to ask Brother Zhao to leave Jinling and go out to avoid it."

"Yes..." Zong Zhen looked at Renzong and nodded, "Then go to Zhuangzi to live for a month."

"No, no, no..." Renzong said again, "Just now I have made an agreement with brother Zhao that he will also go to Liangguo's mission tomorrow."

"..." Zong Zhen immediately turned to look at Ji Zhao, "You can't..."

Before Renzong could speak, Ji Zhao finally raised his head, his eyes were black and white, and looked at him: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already agreed to me, so let me go to see the world."

Renzong nodded: "That's right, it's also good to go out for a walk."

Zong Zhen wanted to speak again, but Ji Zhao had already saluted first: "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I'll go back and pack my luggage first, because I have to go out tomorrow after all."

"Okay, go, go."

Ji Zhao also bowed to Zongzhen, turned around and left, Zongzhen wanted to follow him, but Renzong stopped him: "Brother Zhen, you stay."

"I--"

Ji Zhao had already walked to the door, Renzong patted beside him: "Sit down, I will tell you about Brother Zhao, Wen Zhichang is too confused—"

Zong Zhen anxiously saw that Ji Zhao had disappeared, so he could only sit down beside his father.

When Ji Zhao walked out of the palace gate, he hummed in his heart, why can't he leave?Going to Liangguo, once back and forth, two or three months, although it can't be done once and for all, at least it can be quiet for a few months, let them toss by themselves!He won't accompany you anymore!Don't think about pouring dirty water on him!He loves himself very much!

After he left the palace, he went to the Yin mansion and told his grandfather about it.

After listening to the grandfather, he was very supportive, thinking that it would be good for him to go out to escape at this time, and asked Yin Yu to accompany him. Ji Zhao readily agreed, agreed on a departure time tomorrow morning, and he went home.

At home, He Qiniang was still there.

"Why haven't you gone back?" Ji Zhao wondered.

"me--"

"Speak up if you have something to say..." Ji Zhao sat down in the main seat in the hall.

He Qiniang knelt down suddenly, kowtowed and said, "My son-in-law, I really want to ask you for something!"

"Say it, as long as I can help."

"My son-in-law, forgive me for speaking bluntly, even if your status is as noble as yours, the Wen family dares to frame you—"

Ji Zhao interrupted her, very happy: "Do you believe I didn't do it?"

"Of course! It's the Wen family who framed you! Son-in-law, they dare to kill you, I'm afraid they'll come and kill me too. To be honest, Wen Guiren used to come to the shop often, and last time he fought with your brother, this time As you know, people in their family hate me very much, thinking that I was seducing Wen Guiren with my viciousness, at that time, two mothers came to their house and reprimanded me."

"It's unreasonable! It's simply unreasonable!" Ji Zhao was very angry. He hated the kind of girl who seduced him on his own initiative.

"I'm very afraid that they will take their anger out on me this time, and I'm afraid that I'm going to die without anyone noticing..." He Qiniang looked up at him, and there was a bit of pity in her eyes, who had always been stubborn, " Concubine, can you take me in for a month or two? I will leave as soon as the limelight passes!"

Ji Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I'm going to be an envoy to Liangguo tomorrow, so you have to be careful yourself. It's better not to go out. If you go out, remember to bring your guards."

"Are you going to Liang Country?"

"Yes……"

He Qiniang took a step on her knees, kowtowed again, and said even more pitifully: "My son-in-law, the only one I can trust now is you. You have rescued me many times. Please let me go to Liangguo with you." ! You treat me as a maid!"

"..." Ji Zhao frowned.

He Qiniang kowtowed again and cried: "My son-in-law, I have seen such a scene with my own eyes today. I am really afraid. I am really afraid that I will die at home tonight. Please, you have always protected me. If you If I'm not in the city, they will definitely kill me! If you don't want to see me, just take me with you, and I will never appear in front of you..."

"Not so much, not so much."

"The son-in-law agreed?!"

"Promise what?" A voice came from outside the door.

Ji Zhao raised his head, and Zong Zhen strode forward with a sullen face.
