The Second Prince carefully touched his still bleeding forehead, looked at Zhang Yuanzhong fiercely, and said in a low voice, "You ask me? Who should I ask? Wasn't it you who arranged for Zhang Shuyi? Why are you trying to shift the blame onto me when something goes wrong?"
Zhang Yuanzhong remained expressionless, unfazed by the Second Prince's anger. He knew the Second Prince was angry, and this was not the place to talk, so he simply lowered his head and whispered in the Second Prince's ear, "I'm afraid someone is behind this. Second Prince, you should be careful."
This matter was full of weirdness, and Zhang Yuanzhong knew that Han Xiao must be involved.
The only one who can do this now is Han Xiao, and the one who will benefit from the downfall of the Zhang family and the second prince is Chu Jinglin.
Ruan Zhu and Chu Jinglin are brothers, and the second prince attacked Ruan Zhu again. Han Xiao had no reason not to fight back.
This time they were careless. They thought that Han Mingyuan's foundation was not stable and Han Xiao was just a young boy. No one expected that Han Xiao would be so bold as to attack their backyard directly.
And there must be a traitor in the Zhang family now, so who is the traitor?
Zhang Yuanzhong stood outside the imperial study with his eyes closed. At this time, the imperial physician came over to check the second prince's injuries.
After all, the second prince is the emperor's son. We cannot watch him die from excessive blood loss, and we certainly cannot let him die in the imperial study.
After simply bandaging the second prince, the imperial physician immediately ran away with his medicine box, fearing that the second prince would catch up with him.
After the emperor had almost calmed down in the imperial study, he asked Eunuch Dexi to call the two of them in.
As soon as Zhang Yuanzhong entered, he knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, it is because of my poor upbringing that I allowed my daughter to commit such a heinous act. I feel ashamed of my actions and would like to request an imperial decree to send my daughter to Baiyun Temple outside the city, so that she can rest in peace and contentment."
Zhang Yuanzhong knelt on the ground crying bitterly. The emperor watched his performance expressionlessly, then looked at the second prince who was still trembling.
"Jing Chen, what do you think?"
The second prince gritted his teeth. He had no idea what this old fox Zhang Yuanzhong was up to. He hadn’t told him when they were outside just now!
The emperor became even more impatient when he saw the second prince hesitating. His son didn't have much ability but he had great ambitions. This made him even more annoyed. He was really no match for Jinglin.
Seeing that the Second Prince couldn't speak, Zhang Yuanzhong cried again and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to embarrass the Second Prince. This time it was my daughter's idea. The Second Prince was indeed unaware of it. It's also my daughter's fault for being deeply in love with the Second Prince. This is why she made one mistake after another..."
Originally, if this matter were spread, it would only bring bad reputation. Now that Zhang Yuanzhong said it, it made Zhang Shuyi look like a woman who was worried about her lover.
The second prince was quick-witted and immediately understood what Zhang Yuanzhong meant. Zhang Yuanzhong had explained it so clearly, if he still didn't understand, he would be extremely stupid.
"Yes, Father, Shuyi and I are in love with each other. Mother also wanted to bring us together. Shuyi came to me yesterday because she was too worried about me..."
"Shut up!" The emperor is now annoyed when he sees the second prince. What's the point of being deeply in love with him? This old guy Zhang Yuanzhong doesn't seem ashamed.
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry again, the second prince immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
Zhang Yuanzhong was left to act the rest. The emperor asked the two men to stand up after he had watched enough. He said a few words in a light tone before letting Eunuch Dexi issue the imperial edict.
The imperial edict clearly stated that the two of them were married, so it was impossible for the Zhang family to break away from the second prince.
When Zhang Yuanzhong was leaving, his face turned pale. Although the second prince looked rather embarrassed, there was a hint of secret joy in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Zhang Shuyi still married herself.
Now it depends on how the Zhang family and the queen are going to get rid of him. Otherwise, they will just support him to take the throne, so that the Zhang family can get some benefits. Otherwise, don't blame him for being cruel and merciless.
After the two of them left, the emperor sat down slowly and drank a sip of tea calmly. The rage on his face no longer existed.
Eunuch Dexi quickly refilled the emperor's cup of hot tea.
The emperor looked at Eunuch Dexi and said, "Okay, you can go down too. I will be alone for a while."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Now the emperor was the only one left in the imperial study. He took out a piece of rice paper and silently drew on it. A man walked out from behind the screen.
It was General Huo.
The emperor was obviously aware that General Huo had been inside the room. When he heard him coming out, he didn't even raise his head but whispered, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
General Huo said nothing, but pulled the rice paper off the table and said, "You are not worthy of painting him."
As he said this, he crumpled up the drawing paper with only a few strokes on it and threw it on the ground.
The emperor was not angry, but looked at General Huo carefully: "It seems that we haven't talked so calmly for a long time. Huo Cheng, you are old."
The emperor clearly saw the white hair on General Huo's temples, but his own condition didn't seem to be much better.
Only Su He is still so young, he stays at the best age forever.
Huo Da pursed his thin lips but didn't say anything in the end. He opened the door and walked out indifferently.
Eunuch Dexi, who was standing guard outside, widened his eyes when he saw General Huo coming out.
"General Huo... What's wrong? When will you go in?"
Eunuch Dexi looked around and couldn't understand how General Huo got in.
When dealing with Eunuch Dexi, General Huo still had a trace of the moral character of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Seeing Eunuch Dexi's panic, General Huo kindly helped him up to prevent him from falling to the ground in excitement.
At such an old age, he might not be able to get up after falling.
Eunuch Dexi watched General Huo walk away, then hurried back to the imperial study and saw the emperor reviewing memorials calmly, as if nothing had happened.
The news about the emperor's marriage for the second prince soon reached Han Xiao's ears. After hearing the satisfactory answer, Han Xiao felt much better.
Holding little Chaochao in his arms, he pointed to the sky outside and said, "Chaochao, look, that's the outside world. When you grow up, you can go out and see it."
The young master stood behind the father and son with a gentle look on his face, tiptoed and leaned on Han Xiao's shoulder: "Husband, I want to go too. You said you would take me to ride horses on the grassland and take me to see the sea."
Han Xiao turned around, held Chao Chao in one hand, pinched the young master's nose and said, "Okay, riding a horse is easy. I'll take you there in two days."
It’s spring time outside, why not go and see it?
