This is enough. Mrs. Lu is a standard official wife. In her eyes, any man who doesn't mess around can turn a blind eye to other things as long as his status is stable. Anyway, the concubine's room is just a thing, even if a child is born, it must be called Lu Yufei's mother.
What is the importance of which maid the prince has a crush on? Mrs. Lu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, King Jing. King Jing has a clear view of the situation, and his concubine is naturally trustworthy."
Lu Yufei has been stunned since the first son saved people. At this moment, after being reminded by his mother, he reacted half a beat and saluted King Jing: "Thank you King Jing."
Zhao Chengjun was fed up with this farce, he didn't want to watch it any longer, and said lightly: "Mrs. Lu's time has been delayed a lot today. After that, this king will send someone to apologize. Tongxiu, send Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu out of the house."
Tongxiu responded, "Yes."
Mrs. Lu was about to say something, but Zhao Chengjun had already anticipated it, and said, "As for Miss Lu San, she is ill and can't move easily, so she should stay in the palace to recuperate. When the third lady's condition improves, the king will send someone to escort her immediately. Go back to Lu's house. Mrs. Lu can rest assured."
Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My concubine thanked King Jing. My concubine retire."
Mrs. Lu knew that King Jing was in a bad mood now, so she didn't want to be boring anymore, and quickly left with Lu Yufei. After the Lu family left, only the people from Prince Jing's mansion were left in the room, and everyone inside and outside was obviously tense.
The mountains and the rain were about to come and the wind filled the building. Everyone knew that King Jing was very angry, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the guillotine fell. However, Zhao Chengjun's face was calm. He picked up the tea cup and slowly wiped the tea foam on the water with the lid.
The tea lid slid across the rim of the cup, making a subtle crashing sound that fell into everyone's ears, which was more terrifying than the sound of a knife being sharpened. Tang Shishi said in his heart that he might as well be angry, which is much more terrifying than serving the Empress Dowager Yao.
Zhao Chengjun suddenly closed the lid of the cup and made a soft "click" sound. Zhao Zixun couldn't bear it any longer, he knelt heavily on the ground, and said, "My son is convicted, please punish him."
"Oh?" Zhao Chengjun put down the tea cup and looked at Zhao Zixun calmly, "Where is your sin?"
Zhao Zixun lowered his head and said, "My son shouldn't save people, he shouldn't disobey his father, and he shouldn't leave with another woman in his arms in front of the future princess."
When it was over, Tang Shishi sighed silently in her heart. With what she knew about King Jing in the past few days, she knew that Zhao Zixun had stabbed the big basket.
Zhao Chengjun looked at Zhao Zixun quietly, and suddenly smiled: "Okay. I won't let you save people. So, is this king doing evil?"
Liu Ji, the old people who have served for many years, knew it was bad as soon as they heard it, and hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down, the prince is young and ignorant..."
Zhao Chengjun didn't speak, just glanced at Liu Ji, Liu Ji was silent for a while, and didn't dare to interrupt. Zhao Zixun's words just now were originally driven by vigor, but now that reason overwhelms emotion, Zhao Zixun finally realized what he had done.
Is he crazy, dare to insinuate his father
Zhao Zixun quickly remedied: "Father calms down his anger, but his son made a blunder. The father's kindness to his son is as heavy as a mountain, and the son is very grateful, and he doesn't dare to blame his father. It's the son's unfilial behavior. It's a big mistake. Please ask the father to punish him."
"Saving people is a good thing, how could it be wrong." Zhao Chengjun said lightly, "You are not wrong, it is the woman who does not know the so-called wrong. Come, pull her down and stick her to death."
This time, Tang Shishi was also taken aback. Zhao Chengjun wanted to kill Zhou Shunhua? They were sent by the Queen Mother, is he crazy
Tang Shishi and other nine beauties also knelt down quickly, Ren Yujun was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down, I was sent by the queen mother to serve the lord. For her sake, please spare her this time. After all, Sister Zhou is the direct daughter of Duke Cai's mansion, and she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. If the news comes back to Jinling, Duke Cai will be very sad."
Ren Yujun first moved out of the Queen Mother Yao, and later moved out of Cai Guogong's mansion, but Zhao Chengjun's face was not moved. He tapped his fingers on the armrest, smiled, and said, "Kong Hou Xungui has the same spirit, it's true. Why, do you want to accompany her?"
Ren Yujun was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while. Tang Shishi hummed inwardly, and silently began to think about whether the heroine would still be able to make the trip if the heroine died.
Zhao Zixun took two steps on his knees and kowtowed heavily to Zhao Chengjun: "Father, calm down, it's all my son's fault. It's all my son's indecision. It has nothing to do with the woman, and Zhou Shunhua's punishment is my son's willingness to bear it. "
Zhao Zixun knew very well that Zhao Chengjun didn't really want to kill Zhou Shunhua, he wanted to beat Zhao Zixun. However, if Zhao Zixun couldn't say these words, then Zhou Shunhua would really be dead.
Zhao Zixun smiled bitterly in his heart, Prince Jing is really a very arbitrary person, he does not allow anyone to disobey him. Zhao Zixun seems to be free, but in fact everything has to follow the trajectory expected by King Jing. Zhao Zixun tried to resist the concubine selected by King Jing. He just showed signs of it, and King Jing put the price in front of him.
Either be obedient or Zhou Shunhua will die.
Zhao Zixun flinched, obediently admitted his mistake, and acquiesced to the marriage arranged by King Jing. After Zhao Zixun said these words, Zhao Chengjun did not continue to embarrass Zhou Shunhua, but said: "She is your woman, you are willing to suffer on her behalf, then the king will complete you. She made a big mistake and should have been killed. , but you are the son of this king, and this king can't kill you, so it will be reduced to sixty, and it will be executed immediately. Liu Ji, take him down."
Liu Ji knew that Zhao Chengjun's decision would never be changed, and he didn't dare to persuade him any more. When Liu Ji and Zhao Zixun walked to the door, Zhao Chengjun's voice sounded from behind: "This king's patience is limited, you'd better not play tricks, if there is an untruthful blow, this king will come in person."
This time Liu Ji didn't dare to have any luck, turned around and said respectfully, "No."
After Liu Ji and the prince left, the rest of the house were all female dependents, and they were more and more trembling. Especially this group of beauties, they know that King Jing is famous and his military exploits are illustrious, and they also know that King Jing is a ruthless person, and even the Queen Mother is very jealous of King Jing. But knowing is knowing. Before experiencing it personally, everyone feels that they are special.
They pride themselves on being beautiful, and when they look at Zhao Chengjun, they always think that this is a man first, and then King Jing of the Northwest.
But today's show completely shattered the superiority of the beauties. They realized very clearly that King Jing didn't care about them at all, and that beauty was useless in front of him. Now they are alive, just because King Jing is too lazy to pay attention to them. Once they cross that line, such as Zhou Shunhua, they will be killed immediately.
Even Ji Xinxian, the most pretentious among the beauties, was quiet. Zhao Chengjun sat at the top, silently watching them. Zhongmei was frightened by the sight, and many people had already started to tremble. Zhao Chengjun finally moved and said slowly: "This king doesn't like noise, especially trouble. If anyone else is smart, let alone your family, it's Empress Yao. Standing in front of this king in person will not protect you, you know?"
Lu Yuji is calculating, isn't Zhou Shunhua calculating? Zhao Chengjun could endure it when they fought petty troubles before, but if he dared to challenge his authority, then he couldn't blame him for being ruthless.
Zhongmei was so frightened that she shivered, and she made a promise: "Yes."
Zhao Chengjun was too lazy to pay attention to these women, didn't even look at them, and said casually, "Go out."
The beauties are in a hurry and retire quickly. Tang Shishi originally left with everyone. When she went out, she thought about it for a long time, then bit her head and slipped back, quietly sticking herself to the door.
Tang Shishi tried to reduce his sense of existence. When she moved quietly, Zhao Chengjun raised his eyes, his eyes were calm and cold: "Why, do you think you are the best looking, this king is reluctant to kill you?"
"No." Tang Shishi huddled close to the door, wanting to cry without tears, "Your Highness, didn't you say that I should serve you by your side, and you are not allowed to walk around."
Zhao Chengjun looked at her for a long time and asked, "When did this king say such a thing?"
Tang Shishi was stunned by the question: "You said, let me wait for the pen and ink in the study. Before you leave, I must leave by myself."
Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi, he knew that Tang Shishi didn't have the guts to lie, she really understood that. Zhao Chengjun didn't move, and Tang Shishi could only be watched by him in fear. After a while, she couldn't bear it any longer and asked quietly, "Your Highness?"
Zhao Chengjun stood up and strode out. When passing through the door, he said very quickly, "Go back and copy the book."
How can you be so stupid.
In the middle of the night, Liu Ji lit the light and placed it on Zhao Chengjun's desk lightly: "My lord, it's late at night, you should rest."
"she left?"
"Yes. Miss Tang seems to be quite frightened today. She was so sleepy that she dared to leave after copying a whole volume of books."
Zhao Chengjun smiled very lightly, put down his pen, and glanced at Liu Ji indifferently: "Did you say those words to her?"
The cold sweat on Liu Ji's back suddenly seeped out, he smiled cautiously, and said, "It's the old slave who made his own decision, I hope His Highness forgives the sin. The old slave just saw that there was no woman by His Highness's side for many years, and finally one came. I just wanted to test her. If His Highness doesn't like it, this old slave will send her away."
Liu Ji peeked at Zhao Chengjun's face while talking, how strong Liu Ji's ability to observe words and expressions, Zhao Chengjun did not veto, it means that he can continue to keep. Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right move.
Although it is dangerous, he is also doing it for the good of His Highness.
Liu Ji took the trial and continued to boldly continue: "Your Highness, today's garden will make such a big omission, not only because the people below are negligent in their duties, but more because there is no mistress in the palace. Although Madam Xi has surpassed, she is still She said something right, the palace, it's time for a princess. No matter how capable the princess is, she'll be a generation shorter after all, you can't keep getting married."
Zhao Chengjun still didn't even think about it, and said, "This king's life is very good now. Why do you have to put someone by your side to cause trouble for nothing. This king still has a lot of things to arrange, and I don't have time to waste time with them."
This... Liu Ji knew that His Highness had been a hard-headed person since he was a child, and Liu Ji did not dare to persuade him any more, he could only hope that the Lord would figure it out by himself. Liu Ji changed the subject and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, since you are doing it for the sake of the prince, why would you say such a rude thing today? After the prince received the punishment, he couldn't even get up, and was finally carried back. Look, although he doesn't say it, he still has a grudge against you in his heart."
Speaking of Zhao Zixun, Zhao Chengjun rarely showed a headache. Zhao Chengjun pinched his brows and said, "Since he entered the palace, this king has never neglected his upbringing, but he is still lopsided. This king is not strict with him now, how will he support him in the future? Prince Jing's mansion, how to fight those old foxes in the court?"
When it comes to the prince, Liu Ji is not easy to say. Liu Ji is an outsider. He can see clearly that he really wants to say that adopted sons are different from biological sons.
No matter how strict or ruthless the control of the biological son is, it is fine, but the adopted son may not. The ties of blood cannot be smoothed out by the grace of upbringing.
But Liu Ji couldn't say these words, he was just a slave, and he would die if such words were revealed. Liu Ji remained silent, hoping more and more in his heart that Zhao Chengjun would quickly marry a princess, even a concubine, anyway, to give birth to a real child as soon as possible.
With his own son, Zhao Chengjun will understand the difference.
Liu Ji naturally thought of Tang Shishi. From the current point of view, this is the closest woman to King Jing, and Liu Ji still has to find a way to create opportunities for Tang Shishi. It really doesn't matter if she did it meticulously, as long as King Jing is enlightened, Tang Shishi's task will be completed, and then it's good to kill the person.
The study room was brightly lit, and the rest of the palace was pitch black. This little bit of light fell on the huge Prince Jing's mansion, and it became more and more quiet and depressing.
Since King Jing reorganized the palace, it has been very peaceful for a period of time. Zhao Zixun recuperates silently, Zhou Shunhua stays at home to recuperate, and even Tang Shishi is extraordinarily well-behaved, copying books diligently.
The summer is gradually coming to an end, and after a few rains, the weather suddenly turns cold. At this time, a piece of news quickly spread in the palace of King Jing. It is said that Anji Timur, the king of Zhongshun, invited King Jing to hunt. King Jing has already agreed, and he will go to the paddock for autumn hunting in a few days.
Tang Shishi opened the catalogue and looked at the long autumn hunting plot above, and knew that his last chance to come back had come.
Zhao Chengjun was questioning Zhao Zixun at first, but Zhao Zixun did not explain a word, and these women were scrambling for each other. Zhao Chengjun had no interest in their little thoughts, and he even felt that it was a mistake to stop talking to Tang Shishi. Zhao Chengjun withdrew his gaze and walked directly into the courtyard without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Zixun did not dare to delay, and quickly followed.
Tang Shishi was about to compete with Zhou Shunhua, but before she made any achievements, the target person she wanted to fight for left. Tang Shishi was surprised for a moment, and immediately abandoned Zhou Shunhua and followed him inside.
