The sunlight in the winter morning shines in the courtyard, and the cold wind blows the sycamore branches with fallen leaves, which is quite desolate.
In the side room, it was as warm as spring, and Jia Heng and Zhen Qing hugged each other tightly.
Jia Heng looked at the beauty with pale cheeks and a somewhat rosy complexion, and said, "You have to have a good rest these days. Cover yourself with an extra quilt at night. If you are usually bored, find something to talk about to pass the time."
Listening to the young man's rambling words, Zhen Qing's heart felt warm. Her eyebrows were full of the young man's stern and erect figure, and she murmured: "Zi Yu."
After saying that, he came over again and saw that Jia Heng had no work on his hands. He took Jia Heng's hand and placed it on the plump front of his clothes.
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment, and could only respond to Zhen Qing's enthusiasm and build a snowman. In fact, he could feel the beauty's fearful and attached emotions.
how to say? At this moment, Zhen Qing, after the child was gone, especially the cold-blooded and ruthless behavior shown by the King of Chu, although Zhen Qing was not on the verge of a mental breakdown, she still suffered a heavy blow, and he... was undoubtedly Zhen Qing. Qing's life-saving straw.
Only his continued fascination with Zhen Qing's body made Zhen Qing feel that the relationship was still strong and her life would rekindle the fire of hope.
If he shows impatience, or is tired and cold in physical contact, Zhen Qing's sensitive and suspicious nerves will jump with panic, because Zhen Qing really only has him to rely on now.
I can't really forgive the King of Chu. Because of Chen Chun's death, there is a rift between the two that is hard to mend.
Zhen Xue was also sitting aside, looking at the two people who were making out. The beauty's gentle and beautiful face was slightly flushed, and she pursed her pink lips, with a trace of emotion in her eyes.
How great would it be if she and her sister could always be with Zi Yu like this? There were no worries outside, they were together carefree in a place where no one recognized them.
Jia Heng and Zhen Qing were intimate for a while, then gently put his arm around the beauty's shoulders, pressing the richness and fullness between his fingers into his heart.
Zhen Qing raised her face as beautiful as ever, her eyes were red and swollen from crying in the past few days, and she said in a low voice: "Ziyu, don't leave, stay with me for a little longer."
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
Seeing this, Jia Heng looked stunned and a little dazed, but he hesitated and couldn't push Zhen Qing away for a while.
If she refused, Zhen Qing would undoubtedly feel even more panicked. She gently stroked a strand of hair on the beauty's temples, and the earrings on her earlobes gently swayed into circles of brilliant luster. Her eyes were far away, and her thoughts were swirling.
After a while, Jia Heng handed over a handkerchief and said softly: "Qing'er, why are you bothering? We are not here for a while."
How can he have any charming thoughts at this time? And the beauty is undoubtedly more sympathetic and pitiful. It is the first time that Mopan is so humble and...pleasant.
Well, although I know this is Zhen Qing's mentality when she is at a low point.
After a while, after giving birth to a child, I would probably drift away in front of him again.
He knew this woman too well.
"I am your woman, and it is my duty to serve you." Zhen Qing's eyebrows were full of charm, her throat rolled, and she took the handkerchief. There were all kinds of amorous feelings between her eyebrows and eyes that the King of Chu had never seen in his life. .
Immediately, the beauty nestled her rosy face in Jia Heng's arms, held Jia Heng's hand tightly, and began to murmur: "You can't live without me in the future."
She only has this bastard, he is the only one she has. If he dares not to let her go, she will hang her child in front of his door.
Jia Heng caressed Zhen Qing's shoulders, hugged her into his arms, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the mother of my child, how could I not want you?"
Mopan, don't become a yandere, otherwise, you will actually hurt others in the name of love. You need to pay special attention to Zhen Qing's mental state in the past few days, and beware of such dangerous signs.
Zhen Qing said "hmm" and put her hand gently on her lower abdomen. In fact, it had not been there for a month at this time, but the beauty also had a psychological bonus, feeling that there was a life gestating in it.
Zhen Qing said softly: "Ziyu, what do you want to name this child in the future?"
Jia Heng said: "There should be a naming system in this clan, just let them decide."
Prince Chen Han's name should be based on the radical of the Five Elements.
Zhen Qing was obviously not satisfied with Jia Heng's perfunctory attitude and said, "You can't think about it, this is your first son."
Jia Heng said warmly: "Boy and girl are two separate things. I'm not in a hurry to choose a name now."
"Why don't you call me Chen Yu?" Zhen Qing raised her beautiful eyes, looked at the young man with burning eyes, and whispered: "In the future, he will be as good at fighting and having unparalleled strategies like his father?"
Jia Heng: "..."
No, sister, can you keep a low profile? Chen Yu, to save others from knowing that he is his child?
"When the time comes, just follow the clan regulations. No matter what you call him, he is my child." Jia Heng gently stroked Zhen Qing's cheek and kissed Zhen Qing's forehead.
Zhen Qing obviously liked Jia Heng's doting and loving gesture, and the original despair and grief deep in her heart gradually dissipated.
The two cuddled up and talked for a while, mainly Zhen Qing talking and Jia Heng listening.
Jia Heng had never noticed that Zhen Qing was so talkative before. From when she was a child to when she came to the Chu Palace as a princess, she talked about her hard work and difficulties over the years.
After a while, Jia Heng took a look at the sky outside. Unknowingly, it was already midnight, and whispered: "Qing'er, let's do this for today. I'll come see you tomorrow."
He could come and look for Zhen Qing in the name of investigating the case and reporting the case.
It's definitely not possible to do anything else today. Not to mention other things, Mopan just lost her child and it's a sad time. She can't always think about having sex regardless of the occasion.
Zhen Qing looked at the young man reluctantly, put her hands around the young man's neck, and said in a charming voice: "Then don't forget it."
At this moment, the beauty of the little woman is overwhelming.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and pinched the delicate cheek skin of the beauty, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been dreaming about you these past few nights."
As he said that, he cast his gaze towards Zhen Xue who was not far away, and said warmly: "You have taken good care of her lately."
Zhen Xue responded in a low voice, stood up, and said softly: "Zi Yu, let me see you off."
Zhen Qing looked at the two people leaving, pursed her lips, gently stroked her belly, sighed, and was lost in thought.
Gods and Buddhas bless you, but it must be a boy.
Jia Heng nodded, without saying another word, walked out of the wing, looked at Chen Xiao who was waiting under the eaves, and said expressionlessly: "Xiaoxiao, let's go back."
Chen Xiaoyu's face was as cold as frost, and she slanted under the thin eyebrows on her temples. Her eyes were indifferent, and she nodded. She followed Jia Heng out of the Zhen Mansion and came to the street, asking, "Where are we going now?"
"Go home." Jia Heng sat on the horse, holding the reins, and sighed in his heart.
I originally wanted to go to Jinyang to talk about recent events, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided not to. Jinyang is also pregnant at the moment.
Neither of them said anything more and rode in silence all the way back to Ningguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion, study room
Jia Heng sat down on a carved Taishi chair behind the desk and stared at the scroll hanging on the wall. The room was extremely quiet for a while.
Chen Xiao sneered, looked at the boy in the python suit with clear eyes, and said, "Do you find it difficult now?"
Jia Heng turned to look at the slim and beautiful girl, who looked dashing in her flying fish suit. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What's so troublesome about this?"
It's not that he finds it difficult, but he is thinking about the future. It is not realistic to completely uncover Chen Yuan in the Jiangnan case. It is urgent to wait for a while and return to Beijing.
Chen Xiao picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng. He walked closer and said in a low voice: "You have a tough mouth. Once it is leaked out and you try to get your hands on the blood of the Tian family, even if the person in the palace has faith in you, he will inevitably have his heart." Gritty."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to take the tea cup, put it aside, took the girl's hand, and with a look of shame on his face, pulled Chen Xiao to sit in his arms and said: "This has come to this, everything is a fate. "
Chen Xiao struggled for a moment and stopped moving. He just said with a cold face: "Zhen Qing, let me tell you, is definitely not a kind person. Now that she is pregnant with your child, she may have some evil intentions in the future." , There hasn’t been a single child in the Prince of Chu’s house these years, and those people who have been sleeping there, guess where they are?”
If he waits until he becomes a great treasure in the future, Zhen Qing's desire for power will definitely cause trouble again. If that day comes, she can only be the villain.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Although she is a bad woman, she is also a smart person. She knows where my bottom line is and will not mess around."
After all, Zhen Qing was giving birth to a child for him, so it was hard to say harsh words. However, the defensiveness deep in his heart had never been eliminated, and he was not blindly immersed in the joy of becoming a father.
He is not only responsible for Zhen Qing, but also for Daiyu, Baochai, Miaoyu and Yuanchun who are behind him and have their hearts attached to him.
Now it's time to knock off the fantasies in Zhen Qing's heart little by little, and then let Zhen Qing completely calm down after having a child.
Chen Xiao pursed her lips, her fair snowy cheeks flushed slightly, she stretched out her hand to push away Jia Heng's hand trying to build a snowman, and said angrily: "You'd better know what's going on."
When I was holding her, I was thinking about that enchanting concubine. It was so unreasonable!
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, after this assassination, the backyard cannot be left without defense. Do you have any female guards like this to help protect it?"
Chen Xiao said softly: "I do have such a group of people in my hands, but there are too many people around you. I'm afraid it won't be suitable for a while. I'll pick a few confidants. The key is that you have to be prepared in advance. They don't usually go out much, so they shouldn't encounter anything dangerous."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "There were two maids in the mansion who were proficient in martial arts. They used to learn martial arts from Xia Houying in the princess mansion, and they usually protected Ke Qing and the others."
Xiaoxiao is right. According to the original work, Chai Dai and others' activities are in the Grand View Garden, and Ning Rong and Ning Rong are surrounded by many guards secretly protecting them.
Chen Xiao frowned and shouted: "Let me go."
Jia Heng leaned close to the girl's cheek and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, come and let me kiss you."
Xiaoxiao should cultivate their relationship more, and their relationship has been growing by leaps and bounds recently.
"You... rinse your mouth first." Chen Xiaoyou scolded in a low voice with a look of shame and anger between her clear and bright eyebrows.
I just had sex with the evil concubine of the Zhen family.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, rinsed his mouth quickly, and said, "Okay, I've rinsed it."
Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment and turned away to avoid Jia Heng.
And the young man came over again, he could only gently close his eyes and let Jia Heng be frivolous.
As time passed, a face with a beautiful face and icy skin was slightly hot, pushing the shoulder of the young man who was leaning over to eat snow, and said angrily: "You, you..."
Jia Heng's voice was unclear and he said: "Eat a snow pear to calm down the shock."
Chen Xiao: "..."
The girl was filled with shame and anger, and she cursed inwardly. What a bastard, he was looking for excuses to bully people again. She would never peel pears for this bastard again, but she felt helpless against the young man.
While the two of them were rubbing each other's ears, Qingwen's voice came from outside: "Sir, the King of Chu has handed over a greeting card and asked to see Uncle Heng."
Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, whose cheeks were as red as rouge, and whispered: "You wait here, I will go see the King of Chu."
The King of Chu came to visit at this time. It was probably not because he was "happy to be his father" and he came to investigate. It was probably for other reasons.
"Go ahead, I'll read a book right now." Chen Xiao glared at Jia Heng, straightening his slightly messy clothes, his voice still cold.
Maybe her previous worries about Zhen Qing were unnecessary. This person was wary of her. If she wasn't so close to him, she wouldn't have let her send some people into the house.
Ningguo Mansion, in the flower hall——
King Chen Qin of Chu was sitting on a pearwood chair, drinking tea and waiting.
Today, the King of Chu has changed into a splendid and colorful cotton robe, with a green jade hanging on his belt. Perhaps because of the pain of losing his son after experiencing the assassination in the post house, the look on the face of this vassal king is not good.
Not long after, he heard footsteps and voices outside the corridor. King Chu quickly stood up and walked towards the tall and tall young man, saying, "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, are you here?"
After the two parties exchanged greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats.
King Chu cast his sharp gaze on Jia Heng's face and asked, "Zi Yu, have you ever found the remnants of King Zhao?"
Jia Heng said: "The Jinyi Mansion is still investigating. Judging from the standard crossbow used by the gangsters before, it seems to have been made from the Ordnance Supervision Institute in the middle of Beijing. However, it is difficult to say whether it was purchased with a lot of money from other places and left behind by the gangsters at the scene. Looking at the corpses, it’s difficult to identify them, but it’s a pity that these people were all dead soldiers and there were no survivors left.”
In the past few days, Jinyi Mansion has certainly not been idle. It can be said that a series of clues such as traces of assassinations and weapons at the scene, and even shadow graphics began to search for Chen Yuan's whereabouts.
The King of Chu was silent for a moment and then said: "Uncle Yong Ning, there have been recent searches for King Zhao's remaining members in Jinling City. People in Jinling City are panicking and they all think that a prison is about to arise. I wonder what Uncle Yong Ning is planning?"
Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and he knew the purpose of his visit, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a routine question. The prince was assassinated previously, and there should be reports from the remnants of King Zhao in the Jiangnan officialdom. These need to be screened and reviewed."
The King of Chu hesitated for a moment, then carefully considered his words and said, "Zi Yu, after the great war in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't it appropriate to build another prison? Moreover, it is difficult to find the real culprit when looking for a needle in a haystack."
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Jinyi Mansion will not unjustly accuse a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. It is still in the preliminary investigation and planning stage. Even if someone is arrested, there will be evidence and there will be no unjust imprisonment."
I added in my mind, except for the Fang family.
The King of Chu nodded and said: "Since Ziyu took charge of Jinyi Tanshi, he has restrained the Tiqi, defeated the foreign troops, and acted impartially at home. This is obvious to all, both in the government and the public."
He came here just to show his attitude, to give Jiangnan officials some face, and not really to prevent the investigation.
After finishing talking to the King of Chu, Jia Heng sent the King of Chu away and looked out of the courtyard with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Why is he looking for you?" Chen Xiao opened the beaded curtain and asked the young man with clear eyes under his beautiful eyebrows.
Jia Heng's eyes were slightly cold and he whispered: "What else can I do? It's time to win people's hearts..."
Her own son died at the hands of a thief, but she still managed to gain political capital for herself. No wonder Qing'er was disheartened.
Time flies, and before you know it, another three or four days have passed.
These days, while Jia Heng was sitting in Jinyi Mansion investigating the case, he went to Zhen Qing's residence to visit Zhen Qing. After that, he dealt with the visits of various Jiangnan officials, and then took the time to go to Jinyang Princess Mansion.
Jinyi Mansion, Zhenfu Siguan Yamen
Jia Heng sat behind the case, covered the file in his hand, looked at Zhen Yingjia below, and said: "Shibo, these are the recent summary of the Zhen family's corruption over the years, as well as the total number of other seized assets, Shibo can see Look, if you think there is no problem, then file it so that I can report it to the Holy One."
After this inspection, the Zhen family's wealth was estimated to be in the tens of millions, which was more than he imagined, and the Jinling Tiren Academy's money deficit was as high as fifty to sixty million.
This is the amount of money embezzled during previous southern tours, and a lot of it has turned into a bad debt, making it difficult to count at all.
As for the Zhen family's wealth, there is both corruption and the income from the Zhen family's own operations over the years.
After all, the Zhen family has controlled many high-quality industries in Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou over the years, and decades of operating income have turned into family assets.
There is no doubt that all these goods must be filled into the national treasury.
Jia Heng thought about it and handed the file in his hand to Li Shu, the Jinyi bodyguard at the side, who handed it to Zhen Yingjia.
At this moment, Zhen Yingjia took the file with a sad look on her face, briefly read it, and signed and stamped it.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Shao, Zhen Xuan, Zhen Zhu and others, and said in a low voice: "The rest is just waiting for the palace's grace. Sir, please be patient."
This case has been concluded today, and there is no case of denial. Of course, the Zhen family still concealed the matter of delivering silver to the King of Chu.
Jia Heng did not continue to ask this aspect.
The King of Chu was assassinated and his son died young. It was the unlucky time for the King of Chu. It was undoubtedly inappropriate to talk about these things to the emperor and Qian'er at this time and put on eye drops.
The affairs of the Tian family involve family ties, so it is difficult to take them seriously with any laws and regulations.
Zhen Yingjia asked: "Zi Yu, now that the case is over, can we go back to Zhen's house and reflect on ourselves behind closed doors?"
When Zhen Zhu heard this, he also looked at the young man. A lot of things had happened in his house recently, and he wanted to go back and have a look.
"Shibo still needs to stay in prison and wait for the Holy Emperor's will." Jia Heng pondered for a moment and explained: "Otherwise, there will be some dissent, and Shangshu will impeach Shibo, which will be detrimental to the Holy Master's grace. Forgive me.”
After hearing the words, Zhen Yingjia finally sighed, looked at Zhen Shao, Zhen Xuan and others on the side, and then returned to the imperial prison under the guidance of the guards. In fact, the environment of the imperial prison was not bad.
Jia Heng asked Liu Jixian, "Where is Mr. Fang?"
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and said, "Master Fang has not confessed yet, has not received orders from the governor for his humble position, and has not yet been punished."
Jia Heng looked gloomy and said in a low voice: "Ignore it for now and wait for the court's decree."
Fang Yaochun should not have anything to do with Chen Yuan. This was originally a frame-up. As the person who wronged Fang Yaochun, he naturally knew his injustice better than anyone else.
While he was talking, a guard in Jinyi suddenly came from outside. He cupped his hands and said, "Captain, King Beijing has arrived at Jinling. There is an imperial edict for the Commander."
Jia Heng looked stunned and thought to himself, Shui Rong came so quickly, did he really have to rush it six hundred miles away?
Wang Shuirong of Beijing, accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers, stood in front of the gate of Jinyi Mansion Zhenfu Division and handed the reins of his horse to the soldiers beside him. The whole group was dusty.
This journey was really done at an accelerated speed of 600 miles. The face of this handsome young prince showed the exhaustion of traveling for a long time, but his eyes were full of energy and his mind was full of excitement.
Even after arriving in Jinling, he did not go to see Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing and his daughter Shui Xin, but came to see Jia Heng immediately.
"Your Majesty, we are the angels delivering the message. We might as well go in directly." The general next to him said.
Shui Rong smiled and said, "That's the case. Jinyi Mansion is an important place, but Jia Ziyu is working in the government office now, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little."
It won't be long before I can see Ziyu.
After a while, I saw several guards in brocade robes coming from the wide open middle door, surrounded by a young man in python robes, holding the Emperor's Sword, striding over with a calm demeanor, Yuanding Yue Zhi.
When he saw the person coming, Shui Rong's face showed excitement. He walked a few steps quickly and called out: "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng looked at Shui Rong with warm eyes, smiled and said, "The prince is here."
This tone of looking forward to the stars and the moon undoubtedly made Shui Rong feel indescribably comfortable. With a smile on his handsome face, he said: "Zi Yu, since I have been ordered by the Holy Lord, I dare not neglect national affairs and work non-stop. Finally, hurry up and hurry up, don't you delay the business?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed urgent to prepare the navy, but Your Majesty does not need to be too tired."
Xue'er hasn't shown her pregnancy yet, so it's really not too late at this time.
Shui Rong said excitedly: "The Holy Spirit has given you a will."
After calming down for a while, Emperor Chongping sent another edict before Shui Rong set off, to the effect that he would return to the capital immediately after dealing with the case of King Zhao's remnants.
If no results can be found in a short period of time, the case can be put aside and investigated secretly, but preparations should be made more urgently.
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite, and said, "This is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, come to the official hall to talk."
