Chapter 786 Why Draw Her
"Your Majesty is saying that if the emperor is really ill, he should close the door to visitors and let the empress dowager stay in Prince Jun's Mansion for the time being and not return to the palace, right?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
The officer recalled carefully and realized that this was indeed what the emperor meant.
He nodded.
Fu Zhaoning spread his hands calmly, "That's it, isn't it? I'm not sick, so it's not considered disobedience if I come out. Think about it, if the emperor really forced us not to go out, Prince Jun's Mansion would have been surrounded by the imperial guards long ago."
"Moreover, if we were to be forbidden from leaving the house, he would have issued a direct decree, telling us when we could leave. The emperor did not enforce this, so his original decree was the advice of his family, suggesting that we should not go out when we are sick, right?"
The officer opened his mouth but was speechless.
It seems like this is the truth?
Fu Zhaoning looked at him with a bit of sympathy again, "What's your name?"
Why ask his name?
The officer spoke faster than his brain could handle it, "Zhao Ming."
"Surname Zhao?"
Fu Zhaoning was surprised, "The year before last, the Zhao family——"
Zhao Chen had offended her and Xiao Lanyuan, and the whole family did not get away with it. Originally, the siblings Zhao Chen and Zhao Ru were big shots in the capital under the protection of their father, Lord Zhao. But now many people in the capital have forgotten that there ever was such a family.
The officer named Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat. Finally, his brain acted faster than his mouth.
"I have nothing to do with their family! We just have the same last name!"
We cannot regard him as a member of the same family as Lord Zhao, who has been convicted and had his property confiscated.
Fu Zhaoning smiled and said, "I don't think so. I just have a grudge against the Zhao family, so I'm a little sensitive when I hear the last name Zhao."
Zhao Ming thought, this can't be too sensitive. Zhao is a big surname in the world, and there are a lot of people with the surname Zhao.
"Lord Zhao, do you want to go back to your superiors to confirm whether what I just said is correct? If you are still unsure, then go to the palace to ask the emperor. I will go back to Prince Jun's mansion and wait. If the emperor really says that I disobeyed his order, you can come to the palace to arrest me."
After Fu Zhaoning finished speaking, he got on the carriage leisurely and said to Baihu and Shiyi, "Let's go back to the palace."
Baihu Eleven looked at each other, both of them tried to hold back their laughter and said, "Yes."
The officers and soldiers subconsciously made way.
Princess Jun had already confused their leader, so what else could these small soldiers do? How could they stop it?
Zhao Ming watched Fu Zhaoning's carriage drive out of their sight.
Even before leaving, Fu Zhaoning lifted the curtain and said to him, "Master Zhao, the emperor's decree did not say what to do with the Fu family. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with if you disturb my family."
When the carriage was out of sight, Zhao Ming reacted a few steps slower. Was Princess Jun's words just now a threat?
Yeah?
Zhao Ming looked back and saw that the door of Fu's house was not closed. Several people were standing in the yard looking at them.
They are all strong young men.
He looks like the Fu family's security guard.
Yes, the current Fu family is no longer the impoverished family it used to be. Now the Fu family has guards, and it is said that they are trained every day. The people who lead them for training are the guards of Prince Jun.
Now it seems that these guards are full of energy and vigor, with straight postures and look very imposing. They really don't look like the lax guards kept by those rich families.
Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat.
If they continue to gather here and some conflict really arises, it might be difficult to deal with.
If it were someone else's family, they would be officials, so why would they be afraid of private guards? But this is the Fu family. Fu Zhaoning is not only Princess Jun, she has also joined the Great Medical Association.
As far as he knew, if the emperor had not become angry after Fu Zhaoning returned to the capital, many people would have wanted to send her invitations and invite her to dinner and drinks just because Fu Zhaoning joined the Great Medical Association and became a miracle doctor.
Nowadays, any miracle doctor who joins the Great Medical Association has a high status.
The emperor didn't say what to do with her.
"Let's go back." Zhao Ming had no choice but to give the order and take his men back.
He hurried to find Prince Yi. Prince Yi was actually still young, only sixteen. Over the years, Prince Yi's presence was very low, and almost everyone had forgotten him.
Prince Yi did not participate in anything, not because of his poor health or his mother's family, but because he seemed to have encountered something when he was young, and since then he has been a little timid, afraid of people, light, and crowds.
Whenever something happens, he hides in a corner, keeps his head down and remains silent. He will be frightened if someone makes a loud noise.
The emperor had long forgotten about this son. After all, with so many princes and princesses, it was impossible for him to care about all of them.
Those who are often seen are those who have shown some performance and whose maternal families are stronger. They will come and hang around in front of him from time to time.
People like Prince Yi often forget.
Others did not mention him because the emperor had said that Prince Yi would not be allowed to enter the palace and could live a quiet life in his own palace.
Prince Yi's Mansion is even more deserted than Prince Jun's Mansion.
Prince Jun's mansion is closed to the public because of Prince Jun's poor health, and Prince Jun does not like to interact with people. But in fact, Prince Jun is still the focus of everyone, and he is the kind of person who cannot be ignored even if he is quiet.
After all, he has stunning looks, commands the Dragon Shadow Guard, and is favored by the Grand Emperor, making him a thorn in the Emperor's side.
But Prince Yi's loneliness was truly forgotten.
The emperor had never mentioned him before.
Prince Yi's mother was just a little concubine. She died of illness when he was ten years old. It was not a simple death of illness. She did not lose in any palace fight. A simple cold took her life.
Therefore, Prince Yi had no one in the palace to support him.
Let's talk about Prince Yi's maternal family. By the way, this Zhao Ming is his uncle. He is considered the best-performing one in the Zhao family. He started out as a sixth-rank official and was usually randomly dispatched to wherever he was needed.
Therefore, there is really nothing about Prince Yi that is worthy of others' attention.
"Yier!" Zhao Ming called King Yi in a low voice as soon as he came in.
Prince Yi, Xiao Zhiyi, was painting a picture of a beauty in his study at this time.
Zhao Ming walked in and took a look, and immediately gasped. He looked at Xiao Zhiyi with a little shock.
"Yier, you, why are you——" drawing her?
The person on the drawing paper was none other than Fu Zhaoning, whom Zhao Ming had just met.
No one in the capital city knows that Xiao Zhiyi's paintings are excellent.
Now the person on the paper is as bright as a flower, her skin seems to be jade-like and moist, and her eyes are full of starlight, so bright that they seem to glow.
It was Princess Jun, Fu Zhaoning.
