Zhu Hong's original intention was certainly not to complain. He was just following Zhu Ying's orders to go to Zhang Garden to deliver snacks to Zhang Shou, but he happened to see Zhang Shou getting off the car. As a result, he did not realize that when Zhu Ying came back from the palace, she told him about the fourth prince who was chased away to Zhang Shou by the emperor. After asking, he found out that the person was actually left in the public school dormitory by Zhang Shou.
He was already extremely uneasy, and Zhang Shou happened to ask him to tell Zhu Tingfang about this matter. He did not bother to go back to report to Zhu Ying, but hurried to the Bingmasi to inquire before coming here.
As for this unexpected news, Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Chuan looked at each other, and Zhu Tingfang said nonchalantly: "Okay, I know, you can go back without worry, I know what's going on."
As for what he had in mind, he did not tell Zhu Hongming. When he finally went back worriedly, he was about to speak when Zhang Chuan said with a smile, "Even the emperor doesn't take it seriously, and Scholar Zhang also looks as if nothing has happened, let alone us? Well, after working all day and all night, let's go back and have a good sleep, recuperate, and combine work and rest!"
Seeing Zhang Chuan yawning as he spoke, Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but laugh and agreed immediately. The two of them mounted their horses together in front of the Xinglong Teahouse, but Zhang Chuan brought with him the 20 soldiers of the Ruiqi Battalion assigned by the emperor as guards, while Zhu Tingfang used only his own family members, even confiscating the personal soldiers presented by the Wucheng Bingma Division, and then they parted ways and whistled away.
Finally, the two groups of people entered the Qin and Zhao mansions respectively under the witness of many interested people. As a result, the case of yesterday was over, and the news spread quickly, including Grand Secretary Kong. Many important cabinet officials such as Grand Secretary Wu and Grand Secretary Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with the stubborn character of Hong Shanzhang, it was impossible to guess what he would do after learning about the death of the Second Prince. Otherwise, why did Zhang Shou use such a kidnapping-like method to take him out for a meal and a chat? Wasn't it just to make him shut up... or to control the hand that couldn't help but write something
As for the fact that the fourth prince was punished by the emperor to kneel last night and was sent to Zhang Shou to listen to a lecture today, this news also failed to hide from those who were interested. However, Zhang Shou actually left him in the public school dormitory to live with others, and this news was known to only a few people. Of course, when the people who often watched Zhang Garden found that Zhang Shou came back but got off the car alone, whether they would make associations and investigate, only God knows.
All in all, the night started off very quietly compared to the night before. People really had nothing more to worry about. The emperor was still in his prime, the prince was healthy, the officials were still strong, and the world was prosperous and peaceful.
In Qingning Palace, when the Empress Dowager was going to bed, the shrill howls were heard again in the night. Yuquan, who was personally serving the Empress Dowager, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She came out in a hurry and asked angrily, "What's going on in this Xian'an Palace? Wasn't it peaceful before? Why is it suddenly howling like crazy every night?"
If he really wanted to commit suicide because of what the Queen Mother said, then he should just commit suicide. He howled like crazy every night. Could it be that the palace servants who served him could not think of any solution
