Chapter 839 Entering the Palace

At the Fifth Prince's residence, the Crown Prince arrived first, followed by the Second Prince Zhang Jingyang and the Third Prince Zhang Jingshi.

The eyes of the Fifth Prince's Consort Yao Xin were red and bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. She had been guarding her husband by the bed. Yao Xin looked at her husband who still had his eyes closed, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Yao Xin wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. At first, her husband had never treated her well, and she accepted her fate as the least visible of the prince's wives. Even the servants in the mansion looked down on her.

When did the change happen? She always remembered that one night her husband suddenly came to her. Although he didn't say anything, he started a change. The little changes accumulated over time, and she began to care about her husband more and more.

Her husband is a person who talks in his sleep. Only she knows this, and her husband himself may not even be aware of it.

Yao Xin raised her hand and touched her husband's pale face, tears flowing again.

Zhang Jinghong opened his eyes and saw Yao Xin crying sadly. There was some helplessness in his eyes. He had some feelings for Yao Xin when they were warming each other up. Although they were not deep, it was enough to put Yao Xin in the position of his wife. "Don't cry."

Yao Xin's eyes were filled with surprise, "You finally woke up."

The prince and others outside the room heard the noise, but the prince just sat there without moving.

Zhang Jingyang wanted to go in and take a look. Zhang Jinghong had come out of the palace and was carried out. In addition to the rumors about the real and fake fifth princes, everyone in the capital was speculating. He was more concerned about how Zhang Jinghong could be injured so badly. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was faking it.

Zhang Jingshi glanced at the prince. The prince had been in the palace the whole time and must have known something. However, no matter how he tried to hint at it, the prince just wouldn't open his mouth.

The next morning, Zhou Shuren got dressed and saw his grandson's admiring eyes while eating. Children are innocent, and Zhou Shuren was quite proud of being looked at. "Do you like the official uniform?"

Jiang Du was a little embarrassed, "I like it, but I like grandpa wearing official uniform more."

Zhulan covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. This is the little fanboy, Zhou Shuren’s number one fan.

You know, even his own son Changzhong complained that his father couldn't afford to wear an official uniform.

No matter how thick-skinned Zhou Shuren was, he couldn't go against his conscience and say that he was wearing the official uniform in spirit. Now he really felt a little embarrassed.

Chang Lian gave his eldest nephew a thumbs up. His eldest nephew was really good. It was the first time for him to feel his father couldn't hold on any longer.

Jiang Du looked at his third uncle who was a little confused. He was telling the truth, so why were they all looking at him like that? And little uncle, why do you look as if there is something wrong with his eyes?

Zhulan coughed and said, "Okay, time for breakfast."

Chang Lian originally wanted to ask his eldest nephew what he thought of him, but when he saw that his eldest nephew's eyes were always following his father, he didn't dare to open his mouth, for he was afraid that he would be offended.

After breakfast at the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shuren went to the yamen and each room dispersed.

Zhulan pulled Jiang Du aside and said, "Grandma has chosen a servant for you. He will follow you closely in the future. Look at the three in front of you and choose the one that you like."

Originally Zhulan had already chosen the servants, but because of Jiang Du's personality, she changed them temporarily. In the end, she chose the current three, all of whom were newly bought servants this year, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

Jiang Du blinked his eyes, "Grandma, you have already arranged for a maid and a servant to live in the courtyard where I live."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "It's to clean the yard. The servant now has to follow you all the time."

Jiang Du wanted to say no, but he remembered what his mother said. When he went to a foreign family's house, he should listen to his grandparents, especially his grandmother. He looked at the three people in front of him seriously, took a few steps forward and looked at them carefully, then pointed at the one in the middle and said, "Grandma, I choose him."

Zhu Lan said, "This is Lin Ba. Since he is the eighth child in the family, he did not change his name even after he came to the mansion. Now he follows you."

Lin Ba was excited. The young master of the Zhou Mansion had people around him, and there were many rules in the mansion. They, the newly bought servants, had to work hard. If he could become the young master's personal servant, he wouldn't have to work hard. "I've met the young master, please give me a name."

Jiang Du, "No need to change the name."

Lin Ba, "Yes."

Zhulan motioned for everyone to go down, and after the servants went down, she asked her grandson, "Why did you choose Lin Ba?"

Jiang Du explained, "Sun'er looked at his hands and thought he was a hard-working person."

Zhulan looked at Mrs. Song, who nodded, "She is indeed the most diligent of the three."

Zhulan encouraged him, "You have a good eye. You made the right choice right away."

Jiang Du was happy and felt that he had accomplished something great.

Zhulan looked at her grandson who still couldn't hide his emotions and smiled. He was still a child, which also showed that the Jiang family lived well in Zhoujia Village and that Jiang Du was well protected.

But the grandson will have to support the Jiang family in the future, so he must grow up. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go find your fourth uncle and let him take you around."

Changzhi is much more mature now, and she feels at ease knowing that Changzhi is taking care of Jiang Du.

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian saw Shen Yang as soon as he entered the room. Shen Yang was very different today. Although his complexion was not very good, he was in good spirits.

Shen Yang's eyes were too bright, and he was not one to hide his feelings. One could tell at a glance that there was some great joy to be had.

Chang Lian asked Lu Liang, "What's going on?"

Lu Liang was also confused, "I don't know either. Shen Yang greeted everyone today."

Chang Lian frowned, "This is so unusual."

Lu Liang lowered his voice and said, "Yeah, I almost wonder if there's something wrong with his brain."

Chang Lian was silent. He didn't think there was something wrong with Shen Yang's brain. He felt that something must have changed Shen Yang.

Chang Lian couldn't help but look at Shi Qing. Seeing that Shi Qing looked normal, he felt relieved and pulled Lu Liang to sit down. "Don't worry about him."

Lu Liang was a little unwilling. He wanted to know why, especially since there were rumors about the real and fake princes. Shen Yang's behavior was too unusual.

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jinghong drank the medicine. Although he felt a little dizzy, he felt relaxed in his heart. After listening to the guard's report, he looked at the guard straight in the eye.

The guard felt uncomfortable being stared at, "Does your Highness have any other instructions?"

Zhang Jinghong said quietly, "After a while, you won't have to stay with me anymore."

The guards understood that his identity was revealed by the prince, and he moved from the dark to the open. "No need for orders, you still have to follow your highness."

Zhang Jinghong closed his eyes and waved his hands. He really didn't want to see the guards.

Yao Xin came in with porridge and was startled to see her husband with his eyes closed. "Call the doctor."

Zhang Jinghong quickly opened his eyes and said, "I'm fine, no need to call the doctor."

He closed his eyes and calculated how much of his family assets he could take away, as well as the house he would live in in the future. He bought two houses, neither of which were big, both with two courtyards.

Yao Xin wiped her husband's forehead with a handkerchief, "You really scared me to death."

Zhang Jinghong grinned, "I had to go through the gates of hell several times before I could escape."

Yao Xinlian thought about her husband's words in his dream. She understood them and held his hand. "We will be safe and sound in the future."

"Um."

In the Hanlin Academy, the houses of the Shujishi were blown up, all because Shen Yang entered the palace.
