Chapter 1511 Jia Heng: I think the King of Chu will die soon...
Daming Palace, inner study room
The King of Chu sat down behind a lacquered wooden table, raised his eyes to look at the young man in the python robe, listened to the young man talking, feeling confused.
Then, at this moment, the two of them undoubtedly fell into a brief silence.
The King of Chu raised his eyes to look at Jia Heng and asked, "Zi Yu, can the commanders of the Beijing Camp who previously joined the King of Wei in the rebellion be reorganized and investigated?"
Jia Heng said, "I have not yet been to the Beijing camp to deal with personnel matters. Now that the year is coming to an end, there are many things to do. I will sort them out after the spring."
The King of Chu said: "The Beijing Camp is the wing of the country, and we still need Zi Yu to manage it well and identify the treacherous people."
Jia Heng looked respectful and nodded.
The King of Chu looked at Jia Heng's calm and stern face, and finally couldn't hold back his complicated emotions, so he asked, "Zi Yu, I heard that you and the eldest princess have a child?"
Jia Heng: "???"
He calmed himself down and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is my benefactor. The favor she gave me when she recommended me to a new life is like a rebirth. There are some things that I cannot help myself."
King Chu: “???”
Are you still feeling wronged? You are simply not a human being. How can this be?
The King of Chu was silent for a moment, his eyes were deep, and he said: "This matter is ultimately a disgrace to the royal family. How could Zi Yu do such a thing?"
After hearing this, Jia Heng took a lacquered wooden table, bowed to the King of Chu with great courtesy, and said, "I acknowledge my guilt."
The King of Chu looked at the kneeling young man in the python robe with sharp eyes, and an indescribable joy welled up in his heart.
Even if he was the mighty Prince of Wei, what would that do? Wouldn't he still prostrate himself before him and bow down to him?
This is the emperor who holds the power of heaven!
The King of Chu suppressed his agitated emotions and said, "Zi Yu, this matter is ultimately a disgrace to the royal family. If it gets out, how will the outside world view our royal family? It is really disgraceful."
At this moment, Jia Heng just kept admitting his guilt and did not argue about it, or in other words, he fully satisfied the King of Chu's desire to "oppress".
The current King of Chu has just ascended the throne and has just gained control of power, which is at a time of rapid expansion. Such "reprimands" will occur frequently in the future.
Of course, he still felt a little unhappy.
Appearing respectful but not convinced.
The King of Chu said a few words, then looked at the respectful young man. He felt that the overwhelming resentment in his heart had dissipated a little, and his tone became as gentle as the spring breeze, and he said, "Okay, stand up."
In the coming year, there is still something to rely on, so it doesn’t matter.
The two of them chatted for a while.
Just as the two were talking, a young eunuch with a pale face and no beard came into the inner study and reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen wants you to come to the Shuyu Palace to have lunch together."
When the King of Chu heard this, his calm face was surprised for a moment, then he looked at Jia Heng and said, "Zi Yu, it's getting late, let's go have lunch together."
Upon hearing this, Jia Heng said nothing more. He bowed to the King of Chu and agreed.
But when he turned around, his face suddenly became gloomy.
It can only be said that after the King of Chu ascended the throne, his previous respectful attitude was completely gone, or perhaps it can be said that this was the will of the emperor.
Palace Garden, Shuyu Palace——
Zhen Qing sat in the middle on a silk bed covered with soft mattresses. The beauty had a slender and graceful figure. She wore a plain dress, a simple bun, and her hairpins were the same, to express her grief for the country's death.
Although this beauty had no makeup on her face, her pretty face could not be concealed. At this moment, she was extremely prosperous and a reserved smile seemed to appear on the corner of her mouth.
As for the several embroidered cushions below, Zhen Xue, Zhen Lan, Zhen Xi and other Zhen sisters sat on them.
In addition, Zhen Xue's son Shuiying, under the care of the nanny, was having an affair with Zhen Qing's twin boy and girl.
The ladies who had paid their respects in the palace earlier have returned home one after another, and today is undoubtedly a small banquet for the Zhen family, where the sisters get together to show their closeness.
Zhen Qing's flawless white face seemed to be covered with traces of joy, and she said, "Today, our sisters are reunited, which is a rare event. Let the younger generation have a good gathering as well."
Zhen Xue nodded slightly and looked at the three cute kids who were huddled together and making a noise. She felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
At this moment, a maid entered the hall and said, "Madam, His Majesty and Prince Wei are here."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her beautiful and bright face lit up with a smile, almost like a peach blossom, and she said, "Sister, this man is finally here."
As they were talking, Jia Heng and the King of Chu came in quickly from the outer room, one after the other.
"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Zhen Qing stood up, a bright smile on her snow-white face.
Zhen Xue, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi also stood up and bowed to Zhen Qingying.
"Zitong." The King of Chu said in a low voice with a smile on his face.
"Your humble servant greets the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." As Jia Heng spoke, he walked closer and bowed to Zhen Qing.
Well, when he raised his eyes, he saw Mopan with a plump face and a beautiful bun, which was really hard to associate with the scene where she had served him wholeheartedly before.
Zhen Qing responded softly, saying, "Prince Wei, please stand up quickly without any formalities."
Bastard, how do you know how precious I am today?
I will make you serve me well later.
"Someone, come and take care of the seats." Zhen Qing instructed the female official to move over an embroidered cushion.
Jia Heng thanked him and then sat down on an embroidered cushion beside him.
At this moment, Zhen Qing's daughter Yinyin came forward and called out to Jia Heng in a soft and charming voice, "Godfather."
The two snow-white arms kept shaking, clearly reaching out to Jia Heng for a hug.
The King of Chu smiled and said, "This child is more friendly to Zi Yu than to me."
Zhen Qing's crystal clear heart jumped in shock, her jade-like face flushed like clouds, and she quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty usually dotes on Jie'er, and doesn't pay much attention to Yinyin."
The King of Chu did not doubt him, but cast a warm gaze towards his son Chen Jie and said, "That's right, I will pamper Yin Yin more in the future."
However, he will love his daughter equally in the future, after all, she is his eldest princess.
At this moment, Zhen Lan raised her eyebrows, as if she caught a glimpse of something unnatural between Zhen Qing's eyebrows, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
At this moment, Jia Heng reached out and hugged Yin Yin, gently teasing his precious daughter.
The eunuch came to report that lunch was ready, and they had it together.
At this moment, Jia Heng sat beside a lacquered wooden round table, holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks in his hand, picking up dishes, and a strange feeling inevitably arose in his mind.
This Zhen Qing is really bold and presumptuous. The King of Chu is sitting right next to him, yet he dares to be so audacious.
The King of Chu called out, "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng calmed himself down and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."
The King of Chu said softly, "Zi Yu, I want to wait until next year to send troops to recover the Western Regions."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was surprised and said, "Liaodong has just been pacified, and the court is already sending troops. This is too hasty."
Why did the King of Chu suddenly have such a sudden idea?
In fact, it was because the King of Chu had just ascended the throne and was eager to establish his prestige.
Otherwise, Gao and Li in the cabinet would hold the power of prime minister, while Jia Heng would control the military power, and the three ministers of state would arrange the court affairs clearly.
The King of Chu always felt that he was restricted.
Zhen Qing said, "Your Majesty, yes, there is no rush to wait another two or three years."
The King of Chu nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see how the situation changes. However, I intend to add an additional special examination this year to recruit scholars in preparation for a reform of the civil service in the future."
After the new emperor ascended the throne, it was common for him to grant amnesty and hold more special examinations.
Jia Heng had no choice but to agree.
When everyone was having lunch, a young eunuch entered the hall and said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, Lord Li and Lord Gao have something to report to Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Jia Heng stood up and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
The King of Chu waved his hand and said, "Zi Yu, there is no need to get up. I will go over to take a look. Zi Yu can just have lunch here."
Having said that, he stood up and, accompanied by eunuchs such as Sang Yao, headed towards the outer room in a mighty procession.
After the King of Chu left, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became strange.
At this moment, Jia Heng stared at Zhen Qing who was sitting opposite him, and happened to meet her beautiful eyes that seemed to hide hooks, and said: "Madam, if there is nothing else..."
Zhen Qing ordered the female official to remove the dishes and chopsticks from the table, then looked at the young man in the python robe and said in a cold voice, "Prince Wei, I have something to ask you."
Having said that, he stood up and left the room.
Jia Heng was quite confused and bewildered.
Immediately, his heart skipped a beat, a daze appeared in his eyes, and he felt strange and inexplicable.
I thought to myself, this Mopan is not trying to commit suicide. Isn’t he afraid that the King of Chu will suddenly return?
King Chu, you can go home, but you can't go home early.
However, when Jia Heng turned his head to look at Zhen Lan who was standing beside him and gave him a look, he understood Zhen Qing's intention.
This is to bring him to the warm room to discuss important matters.
I guess the King of Chu is about to die...
Jia Heng's face was solemn. As he spoke, he and Zhen Qing walked around several screens and came to the warm room in the back hall.
At this moment, the sandalwood incense in the animal-head incense burner in the hall was rising, exuding a soothing aroma throughout the warm room of the hall.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue sat on an embroidered cushion covered with a mattress in the warm room, while Zhen Lan had her eyebrows curved like crescent moons and her beautiful eyes looked at the young man in the python robe with a half-smile.
Zhen Xi's face was as red as a cloud of shame as she stood beside the brocade glass screen, looking at the wind with a nervous heart.
Zhen Lan smiled, left the warm room, and came to the other side of the embroidered mica glass screen to keep watch for Jia Heng.
At this moment, Jia Heng undoubtedly calmed his mind and walked closer while speaking.
Well, it’s better this way. No matter how hard others try, they will never think that the four sisters of the Zhen family serve the same person.
After all, it's really horrifying.
"Zi Yu, Lan'er told me everything just now." Under Zhen Qing's willow-like eyebrows as dark as spring mountains, her beautiful eyes were narrow and clear, and her gaze was filled with longing as she stared at the young man in the python robe.
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked closer, hugged Zhen Qing in his arms, and said, "Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Zhen Qing's fair and shiny face was filled with inexplicable shame and anger, and her cheeks seemed to be blushing. She said, "Don't mess around. He may be back anytime."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he took Zhen Qing's slender hand and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Ever since the beauty gave birth to a child, her body has become more plump and graceful, especially the milky scent mixed with musk that fills her nostrils.
At this moment, Zhen Xue raised her eyes and looked at the two people who were entangled with each other. Her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of blush.
Zhen Qing said, "Wait a little longer until he is sitting more or less firmly. Besides, Jie'er is still young, so people won't say that the ruler is young and the country is in doubt."
Jia Heng said: "I'm afraid he can't wait that long."
Zhen Qing was surprised when she heard this. She bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth and said softly, "What's wrong?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "The longer we wait, the more difficult it will be to handle this matter. The longer the night, the more troubles we may have. That's all."
Zhen Qing thought for a moment, then gently pressed down the young man's hand that was climbing over mountains and ridges. The beautiful woman's plump and graceful body had become somewhat limp, and she said softly, "Then I'll think of a way."
"We can't do it all at once, otherwise if he dies suddenly, the government and the country will surely be in panic." Jia Heng thought for a moment and said.
In fact, it is about looking for chronic poison.
Zhen Qing nodded. Under the young man's extremely skilled teasing, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with wisps of mist. She said in a trembling voice, "I have my own way."
She also had some of those chronic poisons prepared, and would just give some to the man in his tea and food when the time came.
Especially those aphrodisiac and lust-inducing drugs, which are the most harmful to the body.
It just so happened that after that man ascended the throne, she, in order to gain the reputation of being the virtuous queen, could no longer restrict who could enter the rear palace as she had done when she was in the palace.
Some time ago, there was something wrong in the way King Chu looked at Zhen Qing.
In other words, ever since Zhen Qing had an affair with Jia Heng, the King of Chu never touched Zhen Qing again.
Although the King of Chu usually had no shortage of women as long as they were not brought back to the palace, Zhen Qing's snow-white mourning clothes, which made her look so pretty, still made the King of Chu somewhat tempted.
Besides, she was his queen.
Jia Heng didn't say much at this moment. He gently turned the beautiful woman's shoulders, moved close to her slightly moist lips, and gently grabbed the sweetness.
The King of Chu might come back at any time, so he had to hurry.
At this moment, Zhen Qing's beautiful and bright face was as red as fire, with rosy red blush all over her cheeks, just like the bright peach blossoms in February, intoxicated as fire.
She didn't know if it was because of the scene or because the King of Chu might come back at any time, but at this moment the beauty felt inexplicably palpitating, her face blushed like a rosy cloud, and she suddenly snuggled in the arms of the young man in the python costume.
Soon, I felt my skirt being lifted up, and soon, two snow-white petals appeared, like two full moons.
"Don't do anything rash. If His Majesty comes back, it will be a disaster." Zhen Qing's cheeks were burning hot as she spoke in a trembling voice.
Jia Heng responded softly, "No messing around."
Just now, he had suffered some anger from the King of Chu, and now he could only collect some interest, which was really not very pleasant.
"Then you serve me." Jia Heng thought for a moment, leaned close to the beautiful woman's ear, and whispered softly.
Zhen Qing's snow-white face turned red with shame, and there seemed to be a hint of shame and anger in her sparkling eyes. She said, "I am the mother of a country..."
Jia Heng paused and said, "Then I'll leave."
Zhen Qing snorted lightly and didn't say anything else. She turned around and her flushed face beneath her beautiful, elegant bun was full of shame and anger.
This bastard, he knew that she missed him too, but he still treated her like this, it was totally unreasonable.
……,……
……,……
The two of them had been entangled for an unknown amount of time. Jia Heng looked up at the vast sky outside the palace and said quickly, "Qing'er, it's getting late."
At this moment, Zhen Qing's beautiful, plump face was as red as rouge, and her beautiful eyes were filled with inexplicable shame and anger, while her soft and pink lips were glowing slightly.
……,……
At this moment, Jia Heng turned around and looked at Zhen Xue, whose fair face and skin were already as red as fire, not far away. He said softly, "Xue'er, go over and pour two cups of tea."
Zhen Xue hummed softly, and then, without saying anything else, turned around, picked up a blue and white porcelain teapot, took a teacup, gently poured a cup of tea, and handed it over.
Jia Heng took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with at home recently?"
Zhen Xue's eyes were as soft as water. She looked at Jia Heng intently and said softly, "What else can I be busy with? Just stay at home and take care of the children."
Maybe she is getting old and her looks have faded, and it seems that Zi Yu doesn't care about her that much anymore.
I haven't been intimate with her until now.
Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "That's good. Today, I see Ying'er has grown a little taller."
He did catch a glimpse of the sadness in the eyes of the young woman in her prime, and while speaking, he suddenly embraced her plump and graceful body, and her soft and plump fragrance quietly bloomed in his arms.
Zhen Xue's eyes were as bright as water, and her body trembled slightly, as she felt the commotion in front of her clothes. Her flawless white cheeks blushed and she said in a trembling voice, "Zi Yu, I have grown a little taller. The prince said that I should be as tall as Zi Yu in the future."
Upon hearing this, Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.
This Shui Rong hasn't given up yet.
Well, that's not right. If Shui Rong had raised his son a little older, would he...
This…this cannot be tolerated!
Seeing Jia Heng remained silent, Zhen Xue turned her head and saw that the young man in the python robe had a changing expression and a gloomy look in his eyes. She was slightly surprised and frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She said, "Zi Yu, what's wrong?"
Jia Heng calmed down his thoughts and whispered, "Nothing, I just remembered something else."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhen Xue, gently pinched the beautiful woman's smooth chin, moved closer to her slightly pink lips, and kissed her rosy lips.
Zhen Xue's delicate, straight nose wing hummed softly, and her snow-white face seemed to be flushed with pink.
The two of them snuggled together for a while. At this moment, Zhen Qing also cleaned up the traces of makeup on her beautiful face, leaving only her face, which was not covered with makeup, bright as a peach and as red as fire.
While the beauty was speaking, she took the half cup of tea that Jia Heng had left and drank it all in one gulp. Her slightly pink and moist lips were like rose petals, plump and translucent.
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were curved, and she looked at Jia Heng intently, and said softly, "Take Lan'er and Xi'er back with you later. I will think of a solution for that matter in the next few days."
Zhen Xue: "..."
She didn't even say a few words to Zi Yu.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Then I will go back with Sister Lan'er and Sister Xi'er."
As he spoke, he gently squeezed Zhen Xue's slender hands and said, "In two days, bring Ying'er to my house."
After saying that, he came to the side of Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi who were watching the wind, paused for a moment, and said softly: "Lan'er, Xi'er, let's go back."
Well, all the anger I had just received from the King of Chu was released on Mopan all at once, and I felt refreshed and my steps were brisk.
Zhen Landeli's beautiful eyebrows were filled with a playful look as she said, "Brother Heng, my brother-in-law won't be back for a while."
Jia Heng pinched the soft and fragrant face and said, "Okay, stop making trouble and let's go back."
Zhen Lan responded softly, then she and Zhen Xi followed Jia Heng out of the palace.
Zhen Qing watched Jia Heng leave reluctantly, and said in a gloomy tone: "This bastard, he humiliated me as soon as he came."
Zhen Xue bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth and said in a delicate voice, "It's better than nothing."
Zhen Qing: "..."
What? You still want to be humiliated? If I had known, I would have saved one for you.
