"A visit?" Zhu Zhongyan smiled, threw the scissors to the eunuch beside him, and said, "You didn't see His Majesty?"
Zhao Jingzhou said frankly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, eunuch. It seems you know why His Majesty won't see me. I'd appreciate your guidance. I'd be very grateful."
Zhu Zhongyan sighed and shook his head, saying, "You gave birth to a good son. Not to mention not seeing you, if it weren't for your contribution in stopping the Northern Di from moving south, I would have chopped off your entire family's heads long ago."
Zhao Jingzhou was shocked: "I don't know, please tell me."
Zhu Zhongyan said: "Go back and ask your good son and you will know."
At this point, Zhao Jingzhou knew Zhu Zhongyan wouldn't say any more, so he said, "I've just arrived in the capital and haven't returned home yet, so I don't know what happened. I'll go back and ask for clarification, then I'll come to Your Majesty to apologize. Then, please put in a few good words for me, eunuch."
Zhu Zhongyan waved his hand: "It's not too late to talk about this after you've asked clearly."
Zhao Jingzhou didn't bother to ask about Zhao Lin and left in a hurry. As soon as he left the palace, he saw Princess Yu's carriage waiting for him.
“Daddy!”
The door curtain was lifted and Zhao Mingzhu greeted Zhao Jingzhou.
Zhao Jingzhou saluted from his horse: "Princess."
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Dad, get in the car. I have something to tell you."
Zhao Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, then jumped off the horse, handed the reins to his men, and got on the carriage.
"What's the urgent matter? Can't you wait until I return home?" Zhao Jingzhou asked.
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "Did Daddy go to the palace to see His Majesty?"
Zhao Jingzhou nodded.
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "What does Your Majesty say?"
Zhao Jingzhou said with a gloomy face, "I have been waiting for more than an hour, but His Majesty did not summon me. Instead, he said he was tired and needed to rest, so he told me to go back and see him another day."
"This has never happened before, right?" Zhao Mingzhu said.
Zhao Jingzhou stared at Zhao Mingzhu and asked, "What happened during the time I was away from Beijing?"
Zhao Mingzhu sighed, "My daughter said, Dad, please don't be angry."
"Speak!" Zhao Jingzhou no longer cared about anything else.
Being rejected by Emperor Chengping is a very bad sign.
Zhao Mingzhu said: "Chen Han... defiled the harem!"
"What?"
It was like a bolt from the blue. Zhao Jingzhou was stunned and looked at Zhao Mingzhu in disbelief.
"Tell me again, what happened to Han'er?" Zhao Jingzhou asked.
Zhao Mingzhu said seriously, "Chen Han was caught committing adultery in the harem."
Defiled harem!
Caught in bed!
These two words sound familiar, but they are so strange when associated with Zhao Chenhan.
Zhao Jingzhou was unable to react for a moment.
Then Zhao Mingzhu continued, "The concubine Rong who had an affair with him was exterminated along with her entire clan. His Majesty, considering my father's contributions, has not held him accountable, but has stripped him of his Hanlin status and exiled him to serve under Zhao Lin."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhao Jingzhou intently: "Dad, the emperor has shown mercy by not seeing you. What would you do if it were Dad?"
Zhao Jingzhou shuddered suddenly.
He hurriedly asked, "This can't be true, right? Could Han'er do such a thing?"
Zhao Mingzhu sighed: "If there is no solid evidence, would the emperor expel Chen Han from the Imperial Academy? Would he refuse to see my father?"
Zhao Jingzhou still didn't believe it: "How could this happen? Han'er has always been honest and loyal, how could he do such a thing? Is there a misunderstanding?"
"Loyal and honest?"
Zhao Mingzhu sneered and said, "Dad probably doesn't know how your honest son bullied Zhao Lin in the past."
Zhao Jingzhou was stunned.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "If Zhao Lin hadn't been severely bullied, why would he leave the Marquis' Mansion? He even regards us as enemies and wants to kill us as soon as possible."
Zhao Jingzhou shook his head: "They are all young people, it is normal to have conflicts. Zhao Lin was bullied because of his own incompetence, so Han'er can't be blamed."
"You're still speaking for him now?"
Zhao Mingzhu said angrily, "Chen Han has been expelled from the Hanlin Academy, and Zhao Lin is already the governor of the national river. If he is incompetent, there will be no capable person in this world!"
"Zhao Lin is the national river governor? Isn't he the governor of Jiangbei?"
Zhao Jingzhou asked in confusion.
"Just two days ago, Zhao Lin was first dismissed from office and imprisoned, then he faked his death and was released from prison, and then he was promoted." Zhao Mingzhu said.
Zhao Jingzhou frowned and thought: "Why does the emperor love Zhao Lin so much?"
Zhao Mingzhu said angrily, "Why can't you show him some love? He's your own son, isn't that what you should do?"
Zhao Jingzhou didn't care about it and asked, "What does your Highness mean?"
Zhao Mingzhu said, "The prince was very angry and kicked Chen Han out of the palace. He is not allowed to enter the palace again."
Zhao Jingzhou's face darkened: "What does Prince Yu want to do?"
Driving his good son out of Prince Yu's Mansion, is this a break with the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion?
Zhao Mingzhu quickly explained: "His Majesty is very angry right now. If he is allowed into the palace again, I'm afraid even the prince will be driven out of the capital."
The only reason why Prince Yu could fight with the Crown Prince was that after he was enfeoffed, he did not go to his fiefdom but stayed in the capital.
If you stay in Beijing, you will have the opportunity to join the game.
Zhao Jingzhou's expression improved slightly, but he still said, "Prince Yu has gone too far. Just ask him not to go to Prince Yu's Mansion for the time being."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed inwardly and couldn't help asking, "Daddy, why dotes on Chenhan so much? Zhao Lin is also your son, but you ignore him and only care about Chenhan. Are the rumors true?"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Jingzhou's face darkened and he scolded, "Others might believe it, but you actually believe it too?"
Zhao Mingzhu refused to give in and said, "Otherwise, I don't know how to explain the difference between your attitude towards Zhao Lin and Chen Han."
