His Majesty accompanied the Imperial Concubine for dinner before leaving.

The servants outside the house waited until nightfall.

It was dark and the lights were already lit at the entrance of Hehuan Hall.

Zhang Mingzhong was already tired of waiting. He huddled in the corner, holding a copper stove he had begged for in his hand.

Xiao Guizi had just poured him a cup of tea. Zhang Mingzhong was about to take a sip of the tea when he noticed the Emperor coming out from the inner room.

He didn't even have time to put down the cup and quickly ran behind the Emperor.

"Virtue!" Xiao Guizi quickly took the teacup.

I saw that the tea was about to soak me.

Then he spat at Zhang Mingzhong in the distance: "I've never seen you fawning like this before."

Zi Su came out with an empty teacup, and seeing Zhang Mingzhong's back, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he just say he came to see the master?"

I've been waiting here for an entire afternoon. Turns out you're here to ask to see the Emperor?

"Who knows?" Xiao Guizi shook her head.

"He's talking weird." Zhang Mingzhong felt something strange from the moment he sat down.

Holding something in his arms, he lowered his head and muttered to himself, then turned his head to look at the inner room.

This is completely different from the Zhang Mingzhong of the past.

If Zi Su hadn't mentioned it just now, Xiao Guizi wouldn't have realized that there was anything wrong with this matter.

When Zi Su arrived early, Xiao Guizi realized something was wrong.

"I'll go into the house and report to the queen." Xiao Guizi was cautious.

He hurried into the house to report to Chen Fu.

"Zhang Mingzhong?" Shen Fu also felt something was wrong after hearing this.

Zhang Mingzhong is not such an indecisive person.

Although Shen Fu didn't spend much time with him, but judging from the way he behaved in daily life.

Zhang Mingzhong is considered exquisite enough.

Such indecision must be due to something big.

Chen Fulai thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Go check it out." Shen Fu whispered, "During this period of time, has Zhang Mingzhong seen any strange people or said any strange things?"

If they want to investigate Zhang Mingzhong, Xiao Guizi really has to go over there.

After hearing the order, Xiao Guizi immediately bowed and said, "I will go right away."

*******

However, it was still too late.

Zhang Mingzhong had already appeared in the Qianqing Palace at this time.

"Your servant kowtows to His Majesty." Zhang Mingzhong knocked his head on the carpet, staring at the carpet in front of him, not daring to look any further.

He didn't even dare to raise his eyes until he heard a voice coming from the front: "You said you had something to report to me."

"Yes." Zhang Mingzhong took out a memorial from his pocket and said, "Your Majesty, we are about to arrive at the border gate. This is the purchase account book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xiao Yu sat on the dragon throne and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows a few times.

"You can just ask the Imperial Concubine about such matters in the future."

Xiao Yu has given Chen Fu the authority to manage the harem.

Naturally, all matters of great and small in the harem were managed by Shen Fu.

"Your servant knows that this matter is for Her Majesty to handle." Zhang Mingzhong knelt on the ground, looked at the memorial exposed on his chest, and sighed.

He didn't want to be here either.

But this thing accidentally fell into his hands. If he didn't hand it over to His Majesty, how could he survive in the future?

When Zhang Mingzhong thought of this, his face was full of sighs.

This move will definitely offend the Imperial Concubine.

Either way, I'm afraid I'll die.

"It's just that the emperor asked us to check something, and I have found it." Zhang Mingzhong sighed, and finally knelt down.

He raised his hands and said, "I came here today to show this to Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu paused with his hand on the table and glanced downward.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Baozi immediately went down, took the letter with both hands and handed it to His Majesty.

"The Emperor has ordered us to look for the man with whom the Imperial Concubine had been engaged before." Zhang Mingzhong remembered that the Emperor had issued an edict after the marriage, forbidding anyone to arrange an engagement.

I couldn't help but swallow those words silently.

"This is what we found. Your Majesty, please have a look."

After Zhang Mingzhong finished speaking, he lowered his head cautiously.

However, after His Majesty raised his hand to open the letter in his hand and saw the words inside clearly, his eyes instantly turned cold.

"Doctor He?"

Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly became fierce, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes: "The one from the Imperial Hospital?"

"It's him." Zhang Mingzhong knelt on the ground, feeling conflicted for so long.

But now that it has come to this, it is useless to worry about it.

He can only choose one.

Since I have chosen His Majesty, I can only apologize to Her Majesty.

"This man is from Changzhou. His family has been doctors for generations. When Imperial Doctor He was admitted to the Imperial Hospital, many people heard that he was looking for someone."

It was based on this point that Zhang Mingzhong was able to find the person.

He Congyu's purpose in entering the palace was to find someone.

But he did not reveal his name at that time, I just heard that he had a scroll of portraits.

Of course, Zhang Mingzhong is not making this up.

"Later, I found out that Imperial Doctor He had been to Suzhou." Zhang Mingzhong knelt down and said carefully, "And when the Imperial Concubine's relatives fled from Kyoto to Suzhou, they passed by Changzhou."

"I'm afraid this child marriage was arranged at that time."

Zhang Mingzhong finished speaking in one breath, and there was no sound in the hall for a long time.

He realized something was wrong and bravely raised his head to look forward.

Then he saw His Majesty sitting on the dragon throne with a cold look on his face.

Zhang Mingzhong had just raised his head when a teacup flew towards him.

The cup flew past his ear. Zhang Mingzhong knelt on the ground in fear as he looked at the broken porcelain pieces.

"The slave deserves death."

Zhang Mingzhong's teeth were chattering rapidly and his throat was trembling.

"You deserve to die!" Xiao Yu looked at the letter in his hand, and his fingers clenched involuntarily.

The letter in his hand was shaking, and Xiao Yu's fingertips were clenched around it.

Doctor He.

A vague figure flashed through his mind. He should have seen this person at Shen Fu's place before.

Xiao Yu was almost forgetting about this matter.

But now, the fiancé is alive and well in front of her.

How could Xiao Yu not be angry? !

"He Congyu!" Xiao Yu repeated these three words word by word. The coldness in his words made it seem as if Li Yao chewed these words into pieces and swallowed them.

Little Baozi was trembling as he listened.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhang Mingzhong lying on the ground, with a hint of viciousness in them.

Imperial Doctor He is so naive, and so is the Imperial Noble Consort.

"Your Majesty, we still need to look at the overall picture." Xiao Baozi stepped forward to comfort him.

"The Imperial Concubine may not know about this. It may just be a coincidence." Xiao Baozi whispered to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, you still have to find out the truth."

"Get out of here!" However, Xiao Yu didn't hear a word at this time.

He kicked Xiao Guizi away and pressed his hands hard on the desk.

"What are you talking about?" His Majesty's tone was filled with uncontrollable hatred.

Xiao Yu thought it would be fine if the fiancé that he couldn't meet was someone he had never met before.

It was just decided by the elders and had nothing to do with Shen Fu herself, not to mention that Shen Fu herself didn't know about it.

Why hold on to it?

But now when I heard that this person was He Congyu.

The jealousy and anger in Xiao Yu's heart simply reached its peak.

What is the purpose of this He Congyu?

Why did he enter the palace?

Did he know that Shen Fu was his fiancée?

Xiao Yu was almost unable to raise his head due to the continuous questions.

But the jealousy in those eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The woman he loved was engaged to someone else.

Even if she herself was unaware of the engagement.

It was ordered for her by someone else.

However, He Congyu had already become Chen Fu's legitimate fiancé in an unknown place.

"An arranged marriage?"

"Fiancé?"

Xiao Yu had a gloomy face, and these words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Even this voice is trembling with jealousy!

"Where is that person?" Xiao Yu suddenly looked to the side, his eyes involuntarily filled with red bloodshot.

Zhang Mingzhong crawled on his knees and quickly took a few steps forward: "Your Majesty, He Congyu has resigned."

"Resign?"

There was a hint of coldness in His Majesty's eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard.

"You must find me wherever the end of the world is!"

*********

It snowed all night long.

The servants of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported that there had been no sunny days for several days in a row.

In the Hehuan Palace, Chen Fu was learning how to make pajamas for His Majesty.

She never does any needlework.

The only things the Gu family taught her since she was a child were music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Shen Fu didn't know any needlework at all.

It's suitable for embroidering a handkerchief, but it's not enough for making clothes.

Shen Fu had no choice but to start with pajamas.

I asked the most skilled embroiderer to come and teach her, but even so, she was still busy from morning till night.

At this time, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and the wind and snow outside blew in: "Royal Concubine, His Majesty wants you to come over."

"So late?" Chen Fu looked at the night outside the window which was getting dark. It was snowing outside and it was almost night.

Why did His Majesty ask her to go over here at this time?

Shen Fu put down the needle and thread in her hand.

Unexpectedly, although Ming was very careful, the needle still accidentally pierced his finger.

Zi Su, who was standing by, was so frightened that she immediately said, "My Lady, are you okay?"

Chen Fu had been making clothes since noon, but she had never pricked her finger.

Zi Su saw the blood between Chen Fu's fingertips.

Immediately the palace maids came with ointments and handkerchiefs.

"It's not a big deal." Chen Fu took the handkerchief and wiped it gently, shaking her head: "There's no need to panic."

The wound is so small, but the fuss is really too big.

If I tell it to others, I'm afraid people will laugh at me.
