Soon, Princess Heyue was forcibly brought into the palace by Concubine Xiao. The news that Zhang Zheng went to the palace to find the emperor's important people spread outside the palace. Many people in the capital were surprised. For this legendary person who could solve epidemics and battlefields The strange woman who was in crisis twice was extremely curious.
However, even though Chu Yue was granted the title of princess, she kept a very low profile. After coming out of the palace, the master and the disciple directly found an inconspicuous inn and stayed there.
Because they were strangers, no one recognized them.
"Master, why didn't we just have dinner in the palace before leaving?"
Zhang Zheng said with a look of disgust, "Although there are many delicacies from the mountains and seas in the imperial dining room, most of them are just flower stands. The taste is not as good as the small stoves run by the ladies in the harem."
Chu Yue understood, covered her mouth and smiled.
"Then where does Master want to have dinner? I'll treat you."
Zhang Zheng glanced at her.
"Of course I have to treat you, old man, my bones are almost falling apart on this journey."
Chu Yue stepped forward and took Zhang Zheng's arm and walked outside the inn, feeling touched and distressed in her heart.
"Okay, okay, I'm treating you. After we have dinner, I will ask Heimu to find where my husband is. If there are conditions, I will prepare delicious food for Master. If there are no conditions, we will rest here. I’ll go back to Nanping Town in two days and then cook some food for Master.”
Zhang Zheng was a little surprised.
"I thought you would stay in the capital for the time being."
Chu Yue shook her head, with a confused look on her face.
"Don't you know what's going on with your husband? If it's inconvenient for me to stay here, I might as well go back first, otherwise I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for him if I stay here."
Calculating the days, Yufang is now eight months pregnant. If she goes back after two days of rest, she may be able to give birth in time.
Furthermore, she was not prepared at all before coming to the capital. She had to go back and make arrangements for some things. She might not be able to handle some things well just by writing letters.
Zhang Zheng walked forward.
"How many more days will you stay here?"
Chu Yue looked calm and raised her eyes to look at the surrounding streets.
"No, I'll go back early and settle things at home. Then I'll transfer some trustworthy people here to take care of the early stages. I'll come to the capital again next year at the latest."
She said, looking at Zhang Zheng with a smile.
"But Master can stay here for the time being. I am too tired from running around with us. I have quietly paid attention to the thousand acres of fertile land that Your Majesty gave me this time. It is not far from the outskirts of Beijing, and there is also a The hot spring village is the warmest in winter."
Hot spring resorts in the suburbs of Beijing are not something you can buy with money.
Because it is so close to the capital, many people are trying to get it.
Hearing this, Zhang Zheng snorted.
"That old boy is wise, otherwise I don't care whether those brats from the Xiao family will be angry or not. That girl from the Xiao family is very vicious, and she has done a lot of things to destroy her conscience in the past."
Qian Yunjin was the daughter of his friend. He used to call him godfather. Although it was not a close relationship, he still treated her as a junior. Before his friend left, he asked him to take care of her.
Who knew that his daughter would be tortured like this in the palace, and his only grandson was almost killed.
The critical thing was that when something happened to them, he was traveling abroad, and he didn't learn about it until he came back.
For this reason, he had strong opinions on Concubine Xiao Guifei and Gu Jinghe.
The place Zhang Zheng wanted to take Chu Yue to was not far away, it was a small noodle stall near the inn.
"Although this noodle stall is inconspicuous, it tastes very good. I will eat a bowl here every time I come to the capital."
Chu Yue came from a farm family. She used to be hungry most of the time. Now, even if the conditions are better, she is not that particular about the eating environment.
Chu Yue and Zhang Zheng sat at one table, and Heimu and Ningdong sat at another table. After ordering four bowls of noodles from the vendor, Zhang Zheng continued:
"Since you are coming after the new year, I will stay in your village for the time being. These old bones can't stand the torment anymore."
Chu Yue nodded seriously.
"Okay, Master, I will stay here for now. I will take care of the affairs in Nanping Town and come to the capital as soon as possible."
"By the way." Zhang Zheng seemed to have thought of something and looked at Chu Yue, "Didn't I give you the token before I became a teacher? Why didn't you use it when you were in danger?"
"Token?" Chu Yue looked slightly stunned.
Suddenly something occurred to her, and she quickly took out a bronze token slightly larger than her thumb from her belt.
"Is this what Master said?"
Because Zhang Zheng gave it to her, she always carries it with her.
There was a holy word engraved in a circular pattern in the center of the token. She didn't understand its meaning, and she didn't expect that the token could intimidate the empress in the palace, so she forgot about it for the time being.
Now when she heard what Zhang Zheng said, she suddenly realized that this token was probably not simple.
Zhang Zheng pushed her hand and motioned for her to take the things back first.
"It's useless if it's not useful. You might as well keep it as a trump card. Not to mention the empresses in the palace who have no real power, even if you show this token in front of the old boy like the emperor, he will treat you politely."
This token is unique to the master of the Holy Hand Sect. Seeing the Holy Hand Sect is like seeing the sect master.
The Holy Hand Sect includes all the miracle doctors in the world, and is supported by many Jianghu forces. Its influence is extraordinary.
Zhang Zheng, who has always been known as the magic doctor with ghost hands in the world, used to be a doctor and poisoner, and was feared by many people.
Chu Yue was startled, moved closer to Zhang Zheng, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you hiding something from me?"
Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"whats the matter?"
"About this token, and about the master's identity?" She looked at Zhang Zheng with curiosity, "I didn't have a deep concept before, but after this incident, I always feel that the master is not simple."
Zhang Zheng touched his nose.
"What's not simple? My teacher has a good relationship with the emperor's old boy's father. If it's about seniority, he has to call me uncle."
Chu Yue's eyes were clear.
"Is that why?"
She didn't believe it. If because of this, His Majesty could be afraid of the master, what's the matter with this token?
Zhang Zheng spread his hands, "What else?"
It's not that he doesn't want to tell Chu Yue about the Holy Hand Sect, but because the status of the Holy Hand Sect is too complicated, involving not only the world, but also the court. As a little girl, she currently has no ability to protect herself and has no influence around her. If you know something, you will have less trouble.
Just when Chu Yue was about to continue asking, the stall owner came over with a tray.
"Two distinguished guests, your face is ready."
Seeing this, Zhang Zheng quickly took the noodle bowl and changed the subject, "Eating noodles, I have to go back to rest after eating noodles. I haven't had a good night's sleep for half a month."
After hearing what he said, Chu Yue stopped asking any more questions.
Anyway, no matter what identity the master has, he will not harm her.
