Zhu Ying finally succeeded in her dream of starting a red leaf business...
Although the emperor finally revealed the shocking news, he was in a good mood and promised Zhu Ying that he would write a few words for important officials such as Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing when he gave the red leaf bookmarks. As for Ah Liucai's other batch, they were sent to the public school and the Imperial College, and of course they would be stamped with the small seal.
Zhang Shou watched the emperor who dropped the bombshell get up and leave leisurely, while the empress dowager had a splitting headache on her face. He thought for a moment and said, "Empress Dowager, Yingying and I will keep our mouths shut about what happened today. Besides, I have one more thing I have to advise you about. Although I have had some disagreements with the Second Prince, I still have to say that it is too risky for him to go to Qiongzhou Prefecture."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou in surprise, then nodded in approval, "I see, Zhang Shou, you have a broad mind. Yingying really didn't make a mistake about you."
After leaving Qingning Palace, Zhu Ying glanced at Ah Liu, who was now empty-handed. Thinking of all the red leaves that had just been sent to Qianqing Palace by the Empress Dowager's order, waiting to be dried and stamped with the seal before being sent out, she couldn't help but scratch Zhang Shou's face and said with a fake smile: "A true gentleman with a broad mind, right?"
Zhang Shou could tell that Zhu Ying was mocking him, but he acted nonchalant. But Zhu Ying couldn't help but continue to tease him, "Ah Shou, you just said in front of the Queen Mother that it was too risky to do that. You didn't mean that the place was full of malaria and that guy might die, but you were afraid that he would cause trouble there and hinder us, right?"
They were just talking to the Queen Mother. Apart from the most noble mother and son in the world, there were only three of them in the room. There were guards outside the door. It would not be a big deal to bring up that kind of topic, but Zhu Ying was very smart to be vague at this time. Anyway, she was not worried that Zhang Shou would not understand.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Zhang Shou laughing at her and said, "Yingying, you've always said that I'm a gentleman, why do you have to expose me? Can't you just treat it as me repaying evil with kindness?"
"A gentleman is a gentleman, but I also know that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, and as long as it can be taken, it will be taken immediately." Zhu Ying chuckled without changing her face or heartbeat, and then whispered, "But you don't have to worry about him stirring up trouble and harming those people in the future. You know, some people are indomitable, while others are defeated to the end. I know him best, he doesn't have this ability."
Zhang Shou could only laugh at Zhu Ying's statement. He also looked down on people like the Second Prince, but he knew better that for some people, the phrase "rare goods are valuable" was sometimes enough to make a bet, regardless of whether the Second Prince gave up on himself. He would rather the emperor treat the Second Prince the same way as the First Prince, and lock him up in the Zongzheng Temple, so as to avoid letting him out and becoming a scourge.
Not to mention anything else, look at Emperor Yingzong who ascended the throne in his fifties, and Emperor Ruizong who endured and finally seized the throne. This kind of thing happened for two consecutive generations. Since you, the emperor, want to prepare for a rainy day, at least you should solve the trouble thoroughly!
What the hell is sending the second prince to Qiongzhou? Didn't you see that Qin Shihuang's father was sent to Zhao as a hostage and was able to make a comeback? Of course, there is no Queen Huayang for the second prince to curry favor with now, but maybe there will be another Lu Buwei
