Chapter 534 What is the purpose?
Captain Zhang is not a stupid person, but after following Zhu Ying during this period, he also quite understood Zhu Ying's character. In addition, he used to be a guard of the royal palace and had seen many worlds with King Ding. He knew the difficulties of Zhu Ying as an official.
Therefore, I admire Zhu Ying even more for not following the trend.
Although Zhu Ying, a man who encountered cases related to high-ranking officials and nobles when handling cases, would be vague, perfunctory, and sometimes favored others, he was still dedicated and did not make any decisions about the powerful.
The case wrongly accused ordinary people.
As for some cases that do not involve the powerful, he handled them fairly and tried his best to consider the victims, which is particularly rare.
So when Zhu Ying asked him to send a letter, although he felt it was inappropriate, because he believed Zhu Ying, he had never asked why he was so sneaky, and there was no question about the content of the letter. He thought it was just a letter.
If you believe it, it's not a big deal.
But now that Zhu Ying was so anxious, he calmed down and felt strange.
I just don’t want people to know about the letter, but I don’t need him at all, right? Mrs. Zhu heard that she had some contact with the noble lady in the inner house. She went to Dingwang Mansion in person and secretly forwarded the letter?
Thinking about it, he and Zhu Ying did not have a long time, and they could not be considered Zhu Ying's confidant. If the letter is really important, why would Zhu Ying feel at ease to ask him to find a way to pass it? But if this letter is not important, it would not be necessary to turn it like this.
During the entanglement, Captain Zhang said in his heart: "Sir, my subordinates do not believe in him, but it is a big deal. The princess is kind to our family. What exactly does it mean to send a letter in secret for such a secret way?"
"You still don't know this." Zhu Ying was a little irritated. He saw Captain Zhang showing a very disagreeable expression and immediately explained. "If you can tell someone casually, I don't need to send such a secret message.
”
Captain Zhang didn't say anything again.
Zhu Ying immediately felt that he had asked others too much, and sighed and said, "Forget it, I have forced you to do this, but this letter is too important. Even if it cannot be delivered to the princess, I have to take the letter back.
Anyway, you have to think of another way."
"Yes, sir." Captain Zhang finally had no choice but to respond.
However, this time things are not as easy as last time.
Liu'er wanted to pay tribute to the princess again, but was simply rejected. The mother guarding the door told her sincerely that the princess was specially notified by the eldest maid Luo Cao last time. This kind of thing was already a huge thing again.
Ende, how can there be a second time? Not to mention that the princess will not meet, even the servants, they dare not inform the princess of these trivial matters every day. Thank you for your gratitude is about your heart. It’s enough to have the heart, and there is no need to personally
Meet the princess.
I wanted to find an opportunity to get the letter back, but this time the old woman from the guarding the club kept watching. Liu'er couldn't leave to find the letter, so she had to come back.
Captain Zhang had no choice but to tell Zhu Ying the truth.
Zhu Ying was really uneasy this time.
Deep down in his heart, he still hoped that this letter could be delivered to the emperor. After all, he already knew about the relationship between the two countries. He could not pretend that he did not know. Besides, if this letter fell into the hands of other people with interest, he was afraid that he would be again
It will cause an uproar.
Thinking about it, I really shot myself in the foot. In order to get rid of the relationship, I didn’t want to show up in person, but it turned out to be such an embarrassing situation.
It's really better to deliver the letter to Princess Ding directly. I think it's not too much for Princess Ding to do this, so I won't even kill him.
After being the prefect of Yancheng for a long time, people will inevitably become a little confused and think too much about it because of the small.
Finally, after thinking about it over and over again, he was a big man, and he could not ask for a meeting with a noble lady like Princess Ding, so his wife could only come forward.
Mrs. Zhu was also embarrassed when she heard her husband's words, and it was well known that Princess Ding would not deal with the noble ladies in Yancheng. She had no excuse to enter the Ding Palace, even if she had a shameless hand.
I asked for a meeting in the post. According to what everyone said, I decided to be the princess's nature, but I am afraid I won't see her.
After thinking about it, there was only one way to meet Princess Ding. She was introduced by an acquaintance and knew a person who was close to Princess Ding, Mrs. Meng, the legitimate mother of Princess Ding.
Due to the involvement of several previous cases, Mrs. Meng is familiar with her. If Mrs. Meng comes forward, she should be able to meet Princess Ding very smoothly.
Without further ado, Zhu Ying was afraid of the long night and dreams, so he urged Mrs. Zhu to go and find Mrs. Meng quickly, and then things would be adaptable.
Mrs. Zhu changed her clothes a little and hurried out.
During this period, Mrs. Meng was quite depressed because of her son's affairs. When the maid reported that Mrs. Yancheng's prefect has arrived, she thought that there was a new clue on the case of Shui Zhongyue, and hurried out to greet her in person.
After welcoming Mrs. Zhu to the small flower hall to serve tea, Mrs. Meng asked directly because she was anxious and did not say anything polite, "Mrs. Zhu, is there any signs of the case of Shui Zhongyue?"
Mrs. Zhu was stunned for the case of Shui Zhongyue. After so many days, she had long forgotten this case. Such a case must be a big deal for ordinary people, but for her, in this place where powerful people gather.
, There are cases every day, either tortuous or bizarre or huge impact. She has long been accustomed to it. Usually, after hearing the case, it is left behind. Who can remember it? But at this time, she heard Mrs. Meng mention it again, and she can't say that she is
Didn't pay attention at all?
It was also the incident that happened suddenly, and I was a little anxious. I didn't think about it and forgot about what Mrs. Meng was most concerned about. Hey, I should have asked my husband a few more questions. Even if it was some irrelevant clues, it would be nice to treat Mrs. Meng with perfunctory words.
.
Now that things have come to this point, there is no other way. In desperation, Mrs. Zhu could only vaguely say: "This case involves a lot. In fact, my elders are still pursuing it. There are already some clues, but it has not been confirmed yet. After confirming it, it will inevitably be
The first one to tell his wife.”
"Oh!" Mrs. Meng looked disappointed, and then said for a while, "Then Mrs. Zhu is here this time..."
Mrs. Meng asked directly, and Mrs. Zhu could no longer beat around the bush, so she could only say: "I came this time because I have something to ask Mrs. Meng to introduce Princess Ding."
Seeing Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng frowned. Such requests were not uncommon for her. Since Xiaofu became Princess Ding, she did not go out often because she was not happy to disturb her and did not go out often. Others have no way to know her. She was more likely to be inclined to the enemy or said that she had requests from Prince Ding.
The man used various excuses to get close to her and wanted her to help introduce Xiaofu. He established a good relationship and tried to find a good advantage.
She had long been accustomed to it, but Mrs. Zhu was not such a person in theory.
If someone else made such a request, Mrs. Meng would have politely refused, but Mrs. Zhu was not an ordinary person. After all, Mrs. Zhu had helped and favored others in the previous case. Now that someone made such a request, she would also repay her.
But now it is not as good as before. When I was concerned about Xiaofu before and could maintain normalcy, even though I knew that Xiaofu didn't like this kind of thing, she would have to make it difficult.
But now she almost turned against Xiaofu. She was not at all good for her to climb the door of the Ding Palace for no reason, and she could not introduce her to others at will. Xiaofu would not give her such face at all.
Seeing that Mrs. Meng was not talking for a long time, Mrs. Zhu knew that this was not easy. With an obvious plea, she said, "Mrs. Meng, if it weren't for the reason, I wouldn't have made such a request. I also knew that the Ding Palace would be closed to thank the guests.
It's been a long time, but no matter what, please feel comfortable with your wife."
"Can you tell me? Mrs. Zhu, what's wrong with you if you want to see Fu'er?" Although Mrs. Meng knew that if she had been convenient for telling her, she would not ask. Mrs. Zhu would have told her about the matter long ago and never mentioned it. I guess she had.
I don't want the reason to let too many people know, but if I don't know at all, she can't figure it out. Not to mention introducing Mrs. Zhu, even if she herself wants to see Xiaofu now, she doesn't just want to see her.
"There is a case... it's a bit tricky. I want to ask Princess Ding." Mrs. Zhu became a little vague. Her husband repeatedly explained that this matter could not be spoken to.
Seeing this, Mrs. Meng knew that even she had to hide this matter, and she didn't force herself to think about it. But since Mrs. Zhu refused to tell her, she didn't have to do her best, so she said, "Mrs. Zhu, I can try it."
But Xiaofu has never liked to deal with outsiders. I don’t know whether she will see you."
"I'll thank Mrs. Meng for this." Mrs. Zhu showed a happy smile. In her opinion, even if Princess Ding is not Mrs. Meng's biological daughter, such a trivial matter would not be a shame. After all, the concubine's daughter is remembered in the name of her mother.
We must respect our mother very much.
Mrs. Meng probably guessed what Mrs. Zhu was thinking and sighed secretly. Mrs. Zhu took it for granted, and things were probably not that simple.
After seeing off Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Meng thought about it and decided that it would be better to have a day than to choose a day. She also wanted to not want to pile up things, so she ordered the little maid to prepare a car and prepare to go to Dingwang Mansion.
Mrs. Meng thought it would be not easy to introduce Mrs. Zhu, but she never expected that she would not even see Xiaofu herself.
When I arrived at the Ding Prince's Mansion, I waited in the flower hall for a long time, and then a little maid came to report that the princess had gone out.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but be stunned. How could this be possible? When she first entered the door, no one told me how important it was for the princess to go out? Why didn't the people in the village know about it, and even said that she would let her wait and inform the princess.
But the result was reported.
Lu Teng, who came to the public, showed dissatisfaction when she saw Mrs. Meng's face, and explained with a smile, "The princess always likes to go out with light cars and simple obediences, so some little maids in the mansion don't know at all. I'm really sorry to ask the wife to wait for a long time. When the princess comes back, I will definitely report to the princess.
, Mrs. has come."
After thinking a little, Mrs. Meng knew the reason and couldn't help but complain secretly. It seemed that she had become the idle people Xiaofu refused to meet.
This kind of excuse is actually not uncommon. Many times, when guests come to the door and the host doesn't meet, they find such excuses, saying that they are going out temporarily, and everyone knows it and just saves each other's face.
In disappointment, Mrs. Meng did not want to humiliate herself too much. It was not for her own business. Mrs. Zhu came to ask for an introduction like that. How could the incident involve the Ding Prince's Mansion?
Who can benefit? The clay man is still a little bit arrogant. She hasn't been so angry for many years? Why bother? I didn't think about it and got up and left.
Seeing Mrs. Meng leaving in anger, Lu Teng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After all, Mrs. Meng is the princess's legitimate mother. Although some things she didn't know last time made the princess and Mrs. Meng a little disagree, but the face must be fulfilled. The princess is so merciless that she will not see her. It is really for the princess to spread it out.
Bad reputation.
Thinking of this, Lu Teng chased after him again, expressed his apology repeatedly, and asked Mrs. Meng tactfully if there was anything she needed to convey?
In anger, Mrs. Meng didn't want to talk to a maid, so she said nothing, so she got on the carriage and went home.
Lu Teng just thought this was not good, so she gritted her teeth and came to the princess to reply, and then said, "Princess, I'll talk more, Mrs. Meng doesn't look like she's bored to visit her. Maybe something is really wrong, do you want to ask about it?
?”
Su Yiqing was reading a book. After listening to Lu Teng's words, she didn't raise her eyelids and said lightly: "What can she have? If there is really, I won't say it this time, I will come again next time, I won't say it.
It is not necessary to say anything. In short, I don’t want to know about the matters related to the Meng family, let alone interfere with it.”
Lu Teng was shocked. How could the princess say such a cold and slander? No matter how much Mrs. Meng said, they were the princess's legitimate mother. The Meng family was the princess's mother's family, not irrelevant to others. How could the princess say that something related to the Meng family did not want it.
Do you know?
Even if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you should maintain your face. After all, this is the filial piety that children should have. This dynasty values filial piety and everyone is very disgusted with unfilial people.
The princess shouldn't have been like this. Thinking of this, Lu Teng advised: "Princess, you can't blame Mrs. Meng for the last incident. After all, no one would have expected that Mr. Meng would have broken in like this.
It was not something that Mrs. indulged."
Su Yiqing seemed to have not heard the words of Green Vine and turned the book one page again.
Lu Teng gritted his teeth and said, "Or, I'll go in private and see if the Meng family has encountered any difficulties. If it's a trivial matter, I might be able to help the top leader."
After a while, Su Yiqing said lightly, "If you want to go, you don't need to inform me of this kind of thing. I don't want to know. Anyway, even if I say no, you're afraid you'll check it out."
"Yes, princess." Lu Teng stopped saying anything, bowed her knees and stepped down, but she had already made up her mind. Even if the princess was not happy, she had to find a way to appease Mrs. Meng. She could not let the princess be willful and turn the person into a position.
They all offend to death. Some things seem to be trivial, but if you are not careful, it can easily cause uproar and be caught and attacked. Some censors in the court like to use such trivial matters to attack royal relatives. (Unfinished)
