Zheng Ji believed that what Zheng Chuan said was true, and there was no need for Zheng Chuan to lie on this matter.
Furthermore, given Zheng Chuan's situation and personality, there was no need, let alone the ability, to get involved in the pregnancy of his mother-in-law.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the Zixi Pill.
"Does that Zixi Pill have more records?" This is what Zheng Ji is most concerned about.
Zheng Chuan did not hide anything: "Yes, it was mentioned in my mother's notes. But my mother's notes are not comprehensive enough. As long as I send someone to ask my grandfather, I can learn more."
Hu Meiren's hometown is in Lingnan, and Zheng Chuan's maternal grandfather is naturally in Lingnan.
With Zheng Chuan's power, it was very difficult to send people to Lingnan, but for Zheng Ji, it was easy.
Seeing Zheng Ji pondering, Zheng Chuan spoke anxiously: "Sister Jiuhuang, I don't have my mother's notes with me. You can send someone to follow me to the palace to get them later."
Zheng Ji nodded and took a deep look at Zheng Chuan.
From the moment Zheng Chuan stopped her, Zheng Ji had been observing and judging.
Zheng Chuan has been gaining her trust and reflecting what he knows to the maximum extent.
Zheng Ji can feel this.
Regardless of whether the content recorded in Hu Meiren's notebook is true or false, now that Zheng Ji knows that this thing exists, he will definitely take it back to see what happens.
Presumably, Zheng Chuan also understands this very well. ——With no resistance, he proactively said that he would hand over this note, and even mentioned his grandfather.
This performance made Zheng Ji change his view slightly.
It seems that even though this fifteenth emperor girl is introverted and has no one to rely on, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart. Z.br>
Since you have surrendered, you must show the utmost sincerity and gain the other party's trust without reservation, so that you can get what you want.
Many people don't understand this simple truth, and even if they understand it, they can't do it well, but Zheng Chuan did this.
So, Zheng Ji smiled and said: "I believe your words for now, then, the most important thing is coming..."
She paused deliberately and saw Zheng Chuan holding his breath, as if waiting for something.
"What do you want? Or, what do you want me and my concubine to do?"
Zheng Chuan said so much, took such a big risk, and revealed these secret contents. It could not be out of passion or because he had any special affection for Fuqing Palace.
The only reason is that Zheng Chuan wants something.
But Zheng Chuan was too weak and had no qualifications to bargain with Fuqing Palace, so he had no choice but to surrender and tell everything in exchange for asylum.
Then the remaining question is what Zheng Chuan wants.
"Sister Jiuhuang, I...I..." Zheng Chuan hesitated to speak, with a hint of ugliness on her face.
Zheng Ji said calmly: "But it doesn't matter. I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of. The Zixi Pill alone is of sufficient value."
No one can be sure of the mother-in-law's physical condition until Dr. Zhao returns to Beijing, but she can make some preparations in advance.
If this Zixi Pill is indeed true, then Dr. Zhao's diagnosis can be more comprehensive and it can also explain why the mother-in-law showed signs of pregnancy.
From this point of view, Zheng Ji was grateful to Zheng Chuan.
Therefore, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Chuan's request.
Solving problems for others without asking for anything in return is a Bodhisattva, not a person in the harem.
Hearing what Zheng Ji said, Zheng Chuan suppressed his embarrassment and said resolutely: "I... want to be protected by the Nine Emperor Sisters and the Imperial Concubine until I leave the palace and descend!"
She took the risk and expressed her greatest desire directly.
Sister Jiuhuang is right, there is no shame in asking for help from others.
As for whether to agree or not, that is a matter between the Nine Emperor Sisters and the Imperial Concubine.
This request...
Zheng Ji was not surprised, but she still asked: "Why?"
At Zheng Chuan's age, there are still several years before he leaves the palace and descends. It is far from the time of urgency? But the other party's intensity is extraordinary.
What happened that made her urgently come to Fuqing Palace to surrender?
"A few days ago, the queen summoned me. She said that there was a general under the prince's command who had some inconveniences in his legs and feet. He asked me if I would be willing to marry him after I have my hair. He was willing to wait for me..." Zheng Chuan said, talking about these things, he still felt that Very embarrassing.
Yes, she is only this age and has no one to rely on. The generals under the prince's brother must also be a figure. Why would the queen ask her for her opinion?
What opinions could a person like her have?
She didn't understand why the Queen would like her?
What scared her even more was that no matter how she and Qing Shuang inquired, the news they learned was that there was nothing wrong with this general except for his inconvenience.
In this case, why did you fall in love with her, a helpless princess? She didn't think there was anything interesting about herself.
She was so frightened that she had nothing to think about and no one to turn to.
The plot she overheard near the cold palace and the Queen's inquiry almost overwhelmed her. During this period, she had not had a good night's sleep, and she only felt darkness when she opened her eyes.
It wasn't until the news came out in the palace that the imperial concubine was pregnant, she seemed to have glimpsed a glimmer of light.
She struggled for several days and finally made up her mind.
"Sister Jiuhuang, this is what I want. If...if you don't want to, I...I will also give you my mother's notes."
She really wanted to use this as a basis to gain the protection of the Imperial Concubine and the Nine Emperor Sisters, but if they were unwilling, she had no choice.
She opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.
In fact, she did not tell the complete truth, and she still had something to hide from the imperial concubine and the Nine Emperor Sisters.
With her introverted personality, the reason why she went near Leng Gong was actually to find someone.
Find the strange little maid who helped the Nine Emperor Sisters that night when she left the palace.
Naturally, she didn't find it, but a few days ago, Qingshuang told her that she saw the little palace maid in Fuqing Palace.
At that moment, she understood.
The people who really helped her and prevented her from a disaster were the Imperial Concubine and the Nine Emperor Sisters.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she was the one who experienced those things that night.
This was one of the reasons why she made up her mind to come to Fuqing Palace, and perhaps the most important reason.
She thought, now that she knew this, she would tell it all.
As for what would happen to the Imperial Concubine and the Nine Emperor Sisters, she really couldn't guess, let alone control them.
As for the protection, given the personhood of the Imperial Concubine and the Nine Emperor Sisters, even if... there were no such plots as she told, as long as she really sincerely asked for it, they would still lend a helping hand... right?
"Okay, I promise you." Zheng Ji said.
