The news that Lu Shuang'er was captured by Ye Zhen soon reached Zhao Yong's ears, and the person who told about it was Princess Zhao Rao.
"Father, what's going on? The imperial concubine of the Yuan Kingdom hasn't sat down on the dragon chair yet, so she wants to have a bad relationship with our Qi Kingdom?" Zhao Rao frowned. Yaoyao took Lu Shuang'er away. She originally wanted to go forward to stop her, but was stopped by Cheng Zheng, who also said that she had to talk to her father about it first, and she couldn't act rashly by herself. Yao is a smart person, it is impossible to arrest Lu Shuang'er at this time for no reason.
So she came to ask her father.
Zhao Yong glanced at his daughter, then turned his gaze to Cheng Zheng, who nodded slightly towards him.
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to ask Concubine Tian about this matter." Zhao Yong said flatly, "Don't meddle in this matter."
"Father Emperor..." Zhao Rao looked at him inexplicably. He was not surprised when he heard this incident, as if he knew it would happen. Concubine, if Lu Yaoyao really let her be taken away, then the embarrassing one would be the emperor.
Zhao Yong said, "Lu Shuang'er is Lu Yaoyao's cousin. Even if there is any grievance between the two sisters, it is their business. I will find out tomorrow."
Since her father said so, she seemed to have nothing to say.
"The daughter is going back first." Zhao Rao bowed, bowed her head and retreated.
Only Zhao Yong and Cheng Zheng were left in the room.
"Your Majesty, Lu Shuang'er was discovered today by following Mo Rongzhan." Cheng Zheng actually didn't know exactly what Zhao Yong wanted to do, but he knew that if Zhao Rao and Lu Shuang'er came to the capital city, Zhao Yong would definitely not only It is as simple as wanting to participate in the founding ceremony of the Yuan Kingdom.
Zhao Yong glanced at Cheng Zheng, "I just asked Rao'er to come, why are you following?"
"Curious, I want to know what Concubine Tian looks like." Cheng Zheng said without changing his face.
"Really?" Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows, "I thought you only loved fighting in your life, and you never even touched a woman."
Cheng Zheng glanced at Zhao Yong expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I don't need too many women, one is enough."
Zhao Yong looked at him deeply, "You seem to be with Rao'er a lot recently, I thought you wouldn't want to get too close to my children."
"I really don't want to." Cheng Zheng said flatly, "After a few years, when Qi no longer needs me, I will go back to farming and will no longer live in the imperial capital."
In the past two years, Zhao Yong has never let him go to the border to lead troops. He knew very well that he didn't want him to have military power, and he was worried that he would support himself and threaten the future prince.
Cheng Zheng was still puzzled a year ago. In his opinion, Zhao Yong was not the kind of person who suspected ministers, otherwise he would not have been so reassured that he was at the border for so many years. At first he thought that someone was secretly slandering him, but later It was found that this was not the case, it was Zhao Yong who had a problem.
Zhao Yong has always been unsuspecting in employing people, and it is not accidental that he suddenly behaved like this. There is no suspicious object around him, that is... he is going to be the crown prince.
Suppressing Cheng Zheng, leaving Cheng Zheng's reward to the new emperor, is to ask Cheng Zheng to be grateful to the new emperor.
The rumors of the imperial capital have not stopped. The emperor is sick. He has aged very quickly in the past two years. Sometimes when he goes to court in the morning, there will be a painful look on his face. Therefore, although everyone did not say it clearly, they all know that the emperor is sick. .
"You want to disarm and return to the fields?" Zhao Yong smiled with a half smile.
"If the emperor doesn't need ministers..." Cheng Zheng said.
Zhao Yong interrupted him, "I don't need it, there will always be someone who needs it, Lu Shuang'er is what I want to hand over to Lu Yaoyao, the rumors in the imperial capital are correct, I am sick, and not serious, what are my two sons like?" You know that before I arrange my funeral, I can't die. In this world, even Duanmuxiu can't cure my illness. I can only find Lu Yaoyao. Since Lu Yaoyao wants Lu Shuang'er , I will give it to her."
Cheng Zheng looked at him in surprise, he probably didn't expect Zhao Yong to tell him about his illness so bluntly, "Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything."
"Hmph." Zhao Yong knew that Cheng Zheng didn't want to interfere with the affairs between the two princes, but now that he was getting closer to Zhao Rao, even if he didn't want to interfere with some things, others wouldn't think so.
"I know you are not Rao'er's real uncle." Zhao Yong said lightly, "But other people don't think so, and you don't have such a deep sister-in-law relationship with Zhao Rao's mother. If you want to help Rao'er, you should first Think it through."
Cheng Zheng's burning black eyes sank slightly, "Even so, it doesn't affect my taking care of Rao'er."
Zhao Yong said coldly, "Then who do you think is suitable to be Rao'er's son-in-law?"
"..." Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Yong expressionlessly, he didn't think anyone in the capital city was worthy of Zhao Rao.
"I warn you, while I'm alive, you must not exceed your duty." Zhao Yong stared at Cheng Zheng coldly.
Cheng Zheng looked at him, "I have remembered what the emperor said."
"Go on, don't let Rao'er be too conspicuous in Wangdu City, let her see more about what kind of person Lu Yaoyao is, and don't let her interfere with Lu Shuang'er's affairs." Painful, he knew it was about to get sick.
Cheng Zheng saluted slightly, bowed his head and stepped back.
I saw Zhao Rao who was still waiting for him outside the door, and the frost in Cheng Zheng's eyes gradually melted. Although not much change could be seen, his cold and stern demeanor was different. "What are you still doing here?"
As soon as Zhao Rao saw him, she immediately walked over, "Uncle, what did the emperor tell you? He...he must be dreaming about the concubine Tian, right?"
What kind of nonsense is this? Cheng Zheng stopped Zhao Rao's arm and walked a little further, "The emperor is not as hungry as you think."
"It's not that you can't choose what to eat. It's not that you haven't seen what Lu Yaoyao looks like. How many men in the world are fascinated by her? The Emperor Jin has neglected the entire harem because of her, not to mention that she still has so many people around her now." , you know what kind of person my father is, maybe... that's really the case." Zhao Rao frowned and said, she didn't care much about Zhao Yong's flirtatious things, anyway, there can't be many daughters But now that woman is Lu Yaoyao, it's different.
"Even if the Emperor has that intention, now is not the time." Cheng Zheng didn't tell Zhao Rao that Zhao Yong was there for the treatment.
Zhao Rao looked at him suspiciously, "Uncle, you also saw Lu Yaoyao today, what do you think of her?"
She felt that Lu Yaoyao was not human at all, and was a little worried that even her uncle would be fascinated.
"Don't think too much." Although Lu Yaoyao was beautiful, not every man would fall in love with her.
