When Zhao Yanzhen arrived at the small room in the upper study, there was no one in the room except for a few chamberlains. The chamberlain who led him in only said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is changing. Please wait for a moment, His Highness Prince Jin."
Zhao Yanzhen didn't say much after hearing this. He just walked into the inner room and saw that the papers in the inner room were piled with memorials that had not yet been approved.
If his father had been there in the past, it would have been impossible for so many memorials to be piled up on this document. From this, it seems that those rumors that his father was not well may not be groundless.
After he waited for no more than a moment, Prince Zhao Nianze also walked in from the outside. At this time, he had changed into a light court uniform.
He said to Zhao Yanzhen, "Third brother, you are here."
Zhao Yanzhen nodded.
Zhao Nianze then only said in a low voice, "I would like to thank Third Brother for your cooperation today in the court."
Zhao Yanzhen only said, "Brother and I are from the same roots, so there's no need to be polite, brother. Let's just talk about what we have to say."
Seeing that Zhao Yanzhen wasn't trying his best, Zhao Nianze naturally stopped talking nonsense.
"Actually, what happened today was also told to me by Xu Zhilan. Now Xinguan, a secret guard I sent, is protecting her. Therefore, this time, I want you to go over to protect her safety and take care of her. I I don’t want anything to happen to her, and of course I don’t want her to come back to Beijing again. After all, if she comes back to Beijing, all the momentum I’ve built so far will be in vain.” Zhao Nianze said frankly.
Zhao Yanzhen only nodded slightly and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint my brother's trust this time."
Zhao Nianze only patted Zhao Yanzhen on the shoulder and said, "Besides this, one more thing I want to tell you is that you may not be able to go directly to Anxi Prefecture this time. Everyone in Anxi Prefecture knows that the imperial envoy will come, and something will happen. Prepare, and I have a guard named Xinguan over there. That guard is near the outskirts of Anxi County. If you want to go, just go there, even if you travel lightly. As long as you contact him, it will be easy to obtain personal and material evidence. ”
"Of course, I only have these two requirements. It is up to you to decide how to carry out other things and who to bring with you." Zhao Nianze said in a low voice.
After hearing Zhao Nianze's arrangement, Zhao Yanzhen immediately came out and said, "Brother, don't worry, Yanzhen will not disappoint brother Huang, and he will definitely handle Xu Zhilan and this case."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Zhao Nianze patted Zhao Yanzhen's shoulder happily and said, "Good brother, I can only trust you. Let's make an agreement like this." @
Zhao Yanzhen only chuckled, but didn't say anything. Then he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother, is your father's condition serious? Do you really feel cold occasionally? After all, my father is the most diligent as a king, and I never I have never seen my father stay away for such a long time and ignore government affairs."
He didn't expect Zhao Yanzhen to mention this matter, but then he was relieved. After all, wasn't his father also Zhao Yanzhen's father?
It's not surprising that he would ask about his father.
But then he only remembered his father's instructions on the sickbed. He told him not to tell anyone that he was suffering from a serious illness, including his younger brothers.
Thinking of what he had promised his father, he was in a daze for a moment. He just smiled and shook his head at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "Third brother, I'm overthinking it. My father has been a little tired recently, and he's getting older. It's just that his energy has declined. Father, he will recover naturally after taking some rest."
Zhao Yanzhen did not refute after hearing Zhao Nianze's story. He just smiled and said, "I understand. If there is nothing else, brother, I will leave here directly."
Zhao Nianze only nodded when he heard this.
After Zhao Yanzhen came out of the study room, he went outside the palace.
Later, when he walked to a ruined place, he saw a servant not far away coming in a hurry.
When the chamberlain came to Zhao Yanzhen's side, he only saluted Zhao Yanzhen and said, "See you, Your Highness."
Zhao Yanzhen only nodded slightly, and then asked in a low voice, "How is my father's health now?"
The chamberlain didn't try to hide anything after hearing this. He just whispered, "He's still the same as before, with low energy and poor performance. I heard from the doctors that he will have a stroke sooner or later."
listen
At this, Zhao Yanzhen nodded expressionlessly.
After the chamberlain reported Emperor Yong's physical condition, he asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, you have summoned your servants, do you have any instructions?"
Zhao Yanzhen only said, "There is nothing to instruct. I just came here to tell you that I will probably go to Anxi. Other matters will remain as usual. You don't need to worry about it."
The chamberlain only nodded slightly when he heard this.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't know what he thought of. He raised his lips and smiled slightly and said, "By the way, you still have to tell my father some things. After all, you are his loyal father-in-law."
When the chamberlain heard this, he smiled and said, "I wonder what news your Highness wants your Majesty to know?"
After Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he whispered, "I am going to Anxi, including my joining forces with my brother. Naturally, you have to tell my good father. You have to say that we are brothers and sisters, and he trusts me the most. "
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen only showed a sarcastic smile, and he didn't know who he was targeting with his sarcasm.
The chamberlain glanced at Zhao Yanzhen, and then just sighed slightly in his heart.
Who would have thought that the gentle and gentle prince would become what he is now.
Zhao Yanzhen had just come out of the palace when an unfamiliar boy was waiting in front of his carriage.
As soon as he saw the boy, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but feel a little wary. He turned to look at the driver on his carriage.
But before the coachman could say anything, the boy came over immediately and said, "I would like to pay my respects to His Highness, Prince Jin."
Although Zhao Yanzhen was dissatisfied, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Whose family are you from?"
The servant immediately said, "I am the servant in front of the Marquis. The Marquis would like to invite His Highness to the Zuichun Tower for a briefing. He has prepared a banquet there."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "I'm really sorry. I have to go back to accompany the princess. I'm afraid I won't have much time to go to the Marquis's banquet. Besides, I have to go back to say goodbye to the princess."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen got on the carriage directly.
Seeing Zhao Yanzhen leaving suddenly, the boy wanted to say something more, but Zhao Yanzhen had already left, and he had nothing to say even though he was full of words.
Therefore, after watching Zhao Yanzhen leave, the boy could only return to his master again.
At this time, the master only took the initiative to ask, "His Royal Highness, how is it? Has he agreed?"
The boy shook his head in embarrassment, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin did not agree to this matter. He said he would go back to be with his wife."
After hearing this, the man suddenly slapped the boy in the face.
"Useless trash."
In the Jin Palace, after Jiang Nianjiao heard that Zhao Yanzhen had returned from the court, she naturally went to the front yard to greet him.
After waiting for only a moment, Prince Jin's carriage hurried towards Prince Jin's Mansion.
When he got off the carriage, he saw Jiang Nianjiao waiting for him in the front yard.
"I send my regards to the prince." Jiang Nianjiao was always much gentler in front of others.
When Zhao Yanzhen saw this, he came over to support her and said, "Gillian, why are you and I so polite?"
Jiang Nianjiao didn't say anything when she heard this, she just smiled implicitly.
Then Zhao Yanzhen only motioned to Jiang Nianjiao to leave with him.
After the two of them entered the inner room, Zhao Yanzhen just talked about his own affairs with Jiang Nianjiao, "Jiaojiao, I'm afraid I have to leave Beijing for a while."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao was a little surprised and said, "What did you do when you left Beijing?"
Zhao Yanzhen only whispered, "Brother Huang said there is a case in Anxi that I need to take over."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao immediately became alert and said, "Why do you have to go every time for such dangerous things? Are there no one on their side?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen only chuckled, "It's not that they don't have anyone, it's that I can only do this. After all, Xu Zhilan is also there. Xu Zhilan is involved in this case. If others find out, Xu Zhilan's risk It will also increase from this.”
Hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Jiang Nianjiao no longer objected fiercely, but she quickly made a request that embarrassed Zhao Yanzhen: "In that case, I want to go with you."
Zhao Yan
Hearing this, Zhen just said, "How can this be done? Jiaojiao, I didn't play for fun in the past."
"I'm not just having fun, what? Can't I go there with you? If I can't go there, don't even think that I will agree to this." Jiang Nianjiao said reluctantly.
After hearing what Jiang Nianjiao said, Zhao Yanzhen could only smile helplessly, "Since you insist on going there, I won't stop you, but Jiaojiao, you have to promise me not to wander around, and remember to stay by my side at all times, otherwise I really don’t feel comfortable taking you there with me.”
As long as Zhao Yanzhen can agree to take him with him, Jiang Nianjiao will naturally agree to anything.
The two now had a new agreement, so they naturally stopped arguing.
Jiang Nianjiao then just pulled Zhao Yanzhen and said, "By the way, before leaving here, I'm afraid there is something that you need to deal with."
Zhao Yanzhen asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Nianjiao did not answer directly, but led the people to the main hall. In the main hall stood several fat and thin women.
While Zhao Yanzhen was still puzzled, Jiang Nianjiao had already dragged Zhao Yanzhen into the main hall.
As soon as the beauties in the main hall saw Jiang Nianjiao and a handsome young man walking in, they became somewhat aware. They all looked at Zhao Yanzhen with admiration in their eyes.
However, in order not to show their love too much, they all bowed their heads shyly and silently, and saluted Jiang Nianjiao.
"The show girls have met the princess." Each of these women whispered.
Jiang Nianjiao waved to these people and said, "Sisters, there is no need to be polite."
Then she only said to the ladies, "This is His Highness the King of Jin. You are still not paying homage to His Highness the King of Jin."
