Chapter 448 Zhang has something to say
Chu Chengyi was also stunned when he saw Zhang.
His secret guards had been guarding the cold palace yesterday. They saw with their own eyes how Zhang was hung with white silk by Lin Fu, and they waited for a full half hour before taking her down.
Afterwards, he asked the imperial physician to feel her breathing and pulse and confirmed that she was dead. Only then did Lin Fu take the imperial physician back to report to Emperor Yongping.
After Lin Fu and his group left, his secret guards went to confirm again and found that Zhang was indeed dead.
Moreover, the secret guards had been on guard in the cold palace the entire night, which could guarantee that Zhang was not only dead, but also had no chance of being replaced by someone else.
But where did this Zhang come from?
Thinking of this, Chu Chengyi hurriedly looked at the daughter in his arms.
Chu Qinshu was also looking at Zhang, but there was no fear in her eyes, instead there was a smile.
No, he did not avoid Shu'er when it came to Zhang being given the white silk.
Shu'er knew yesterday that Zhang was dead, but when she saw Zhang now, she was not afraid at all. Could it be that this Zhang was created by the little gourd?
Chu Chengyi intuitively felt that he had guessed correctly, so he calmly shifted his gaze to Zhang.
Although this Zhang was dressed in formal attire, her face was exactly the same as the Zhang in the cold palace, even her expression and voice were exactly the same.
Chu Chengyi was looking forward to Zhang's performance, and even more so to Emperor Yongping's reaction.
"Your Majesty, are you surprised to see me? I know that Your Majesty will not be so cruel to me."
Without waiting for Emperor Yongping to excuse herself, Zhang stood up and walked towards him, giggling secretly while covering her mouth with her hands.
It was as if she had never been banished to the cold palace.
Emperor Yongping stared at Zhang intently, his eyes filled with shock, his face even trembling slightly.
I don't know whether he was scared or angry.
"Zhang, stop. Don't take another step forward."
Seeing that Zhang had already walked into the hall, Emperor Yongping reacted immediately and shouted angrily.
Zhang's expression did not change, but she stopped walking obediently.
Emperor Yongping glared at her angrily and quickly turned his gaze to Chu Chengyi's arms.
He didn't suspect that his granddaughter would do anything naughty, he was just simply worried that Zhang would scare his granddaughter.
After all, he had just discussed Zhang's burial with his son and had not avoided her.
Now people appear here alive again, which is really scary.
Unfortunately, after Chu Qinshu confirmed that Zhang looked very similar, she went into the space.
She didn't want the emperor to suspect her.
At this moment, seeing the deceased, it was normal for her to hide.
"Your Majesty, I came to see you today just to tell you that I will not enter the imperial mausoleum.
Since you don't make a commoner woman your queen, there's no need for her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death and be tortured by her sisters.
Anyway, when I was alive, I lived better than them. I don’t want to see them even after I die, so as to avoid them being jealous of me.”
Zhang looked at Emperor Yongping with a smile on her face and spoke casually, as if she didn't care about anything.
“You…you…”
When Emperor Yongping saw that his granddaughter was not there, he felt relieved, but Zhang's words made him feel more worried.
He originally thought that Zhang was a fake corpse, but he didn't expect that she would say she was dead herself.
This time, Emperor Yongping not only trembled slightly on his face, but his body also began to tremble.
Is he seeing a ghost today?
Isn't it said that the dead will come back to life after seven days? How could this Zhang come back to life in less than a day?
"Your Majesty, I have specially prepared it. It is not scary."
As Zhang laughed, her tongue fell out, her eyeballs couldn't stop bulging out, and the marks on her neck could no longer be covered...
"Someone come."
Emperor Yongping closed his eyes in a hurry, not caring whether Chu Chengyi would laugh at him.
Chu Chengyi remained so calm throughout the whole process, as if he didn't even see Zhang.
"Father, what are you doing..."
Seeing Emperor Yongping calling for help, Chu Chengyi hurried forward to support him.
He was really worried about Lin Fu and the others coming in.
Unfortunately, after waiting for half a cup of tea, no one came in.
"Zhang, Zhang is here to see my father."
Emperor Yongping didn't dare to look and held on to Chu Chengyi's sleeve.
"Where? Father, did you not get enough rest last night and be disturbed by Zhang in your dream? That's why you saw her today. I didn't see Zhang."
Chu Chengyi helped Emperor Yongping sit down and talked nonsense in a serious tone.
"You said you didn't see Zhang, but she was clearly standing in the hall."
As Emperor Yongping spoke, he slowly opened one eye and saw that Zhang was still standing in the hall, but her appearance had returned to normal. Then he opened both eyes.
"Zhang, why don't you leave quickly? I will grant you what you asked for."
Emperor Yongping wanted to drive Zhang away, he didn't want to see a ghost in broad daylight.
As for what Chu Chengyi said, he believed it.
It was estimated that he was the only one who could see Zhang, otherwise there would be no one who responded when he called out just now.
This Zhang has just turned into a ghost, yet she is so powerful. We have to get rid of her quickly.
We have to send someone to call the imperial teacher. I'm afraid this Zhang can only be subdued by magic.
"Then I thank the emperor. But I am leaving today and will not come back to see the emperor in the future. I still have something to say to the emperor."
Zhang was quite polite and even bowed slightly to thank Emperor Yongping.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
Emperor Yongping still held Chu Chengyi tightly, hoping that Zhang would finish her words and leave.
"Then the woman said it."
"Go ahead, hurry up and tell me."
Emperor Yongping was patient, and Zhang still looked at him with a smile.
"When I was young, I was very competitive and did many things that did not bring good fortune to future generations.
The emperor sent a few concubines who were not to his liking to go ahead, and the empress sent a few of her children to wait for her there first.
As a result, my two sons died a miserable death. This matter should be blamed on me.
Except for the two useless sons of the second eldest son, the rest of my grandchildren are pretty good.
In the future, the emperor will have to send people to teach them well, and when they grow up, they will all be given the title of prince.
As for the second son's throne, just take it back. The tenth son has been demoted to a commoner, and it is not appropriate for the second son to keep the throne.
There are also two jade pendants and a treasure map passed down from Zhang's ancestors.
I went to ask our ancestors last night, and they have all been returned to their real owners. There is no trace of them left in this world, so Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about them anymore.
The ancestors of the common people said that their owners would not harm Sheng Anguo, so the emperor did not need to worry.
Oh, my ancestor also said that the treasure map and the jade pendant did not belong to the Zhang family, but were kept by the Zhang family’s ancestors.
Several generations of the Zhang family had their eyes on the treasure, and after they were sent down, they were all punished. My ancestors said that you shouldn’t covet other people’s things, and they deserved to be punished.”
Zhang seemed to have finished speaking, bowed, and was about to turn around when she remembered something and continued, "Oh, Your Majesty, you don't have to take what my aunt said seriously. It was just a delaying tactic."
After Zhang finished speaking, she stopped moving, her eyes rolling around.
She seemed to be thinking about what else she hadn't said.
