Chapter 955: Real Angry

Xue Han put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Mom, does Dad know who did it?"

Zhulan was really surprised this time, "Why do you ask that?"

Xue Han clasped her hands together under the table. Her mother had taught her a lot, especially in the past two years. Her mother would tell her about the situation in the capital that she could understand. She did not have her mother's vision, but she also learned a lot. "Dad is very silent. Today, he is not like the father he used to be."

When Dad walked into the rain, she was also looking at his back. His back was more bent than before, and he had a sense of powerlessness. She was a girl and more delicate. Dad had not looked at Third Brother since he entered the house and ignored him when he left. This was very telling.

Zhulan lamented the success of her teaching and taught Xuehan to understand the situation, because Xuehan would be the fifth prince's consort in the future, and she hoped that Rongchuan and his daughter would live a peaceful life.

Xue Han saw that her mother didn't reply, "Mom, third brother didn't get justice, right?"

Zhulan looked at the young lady with a complicated expression. This child was really smart. Even without her guidance, the young lady would grow up by herself with more experience. "You have to fight for justice yourself. Obviously, the Zhou family does not have the strength and confidence to do so."

She will not give the young lady any illusions. The young lady is already well protected. If she does not face the reality at this time, she will suffer.

Xue Han clenched her hands even tighter and lowered her head. The Zhou family had no confidence, and even if the Ninghou Mansion had the confidence, it was unfair. Was she angry? She was angry. Was she helpless? She was helpless.

At this time, Mrs. Song came in and said, "Prince Rongchuan is here."

At lunch time, Zhulan asked Song to eat, and the maids also took turns to eat. Seeing Song breathing heavily, it was because she had just finished eating and Rongchuan had deliberately gone ahead. Zhulan said, "I don't know if Rongchuan has eaten yet, so let the maids come in first."

The girl standing in the distance quickly entered the house, and Rongchuan also walked in.

Zhulan asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Rong Chuan felt like he was at home when he returned to Zhou's house. He sat down and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

As soon as he left the palace, he thought about Xue Han. He turned around and went back to Zhou Mansion. He was already hungry.

Zhulan said, "We just finished eating, do you think you need any more dishes? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare them."

Rongchuan looked at the light dishes on the table and opened his mouth to eat, "I want to eat fried lamb and fish. Do you have shrimps at home? If so, let's make some."

Zhulan had a wooden face. She was shown off. Xuehan liked everything Rongchuan ordered. Zhulan suddenly wanted to eat pork elbow, but this dish was a bit difficult to prepare, so she signaled Mrs. Song to arrange it.

Rongchuan felt that Xuehan had been stealing glances at him, so he turned his head and signaled that she could look openly.

Xue Han rolled her eyes in her heart, but seeing that Rong Chuan didn't seem scared at all, she felt relieved.

Zhulan thought that she could go back to the room to rest. The two of them were exchanging glances, which was more showy than talking. Are they trying to show that they are in tune with each other?

Zhulan coughed, Xuehan and Rongchuan blushed. That's right, don't be too presumptuous. "I see you look good, did you have a good rest last night?"

Rongchuan, "I didn't get enough rest in the first half of the night and had nightmares all the time, but I felt much better in the second half. Although it was my first time seeing blood, men are all brave, so I feel OK. How about Third Brother? How is Third Brother?"

Zhulan, "Your third brother has recovered and is in good spirits."

Rongchuan planned to go see his third brother after dinner. He and his third brother were the weakest yesterday, but they had the best cooperation. This was also due to the fact that they had been practicing martial arts together. They already had a good relationship, and now they had killed enemies together. They were good brothers for life.

Because there were no complicated dishes, the food came up quickly. Zhulan saw Rongchuan eating with relish and she also worked up an appetite, so she ate a bowl of rice.

After dinner, Zhulan didn’t ask Rongchuan much. Rongchuan was already sensitive in the palace, so she waited for Rongchuan to leave and then lay down to rest.

Inside the palace, the queen had a bad look on her face. As smart as she was, how could she not guess that it was the other princes who did it? The emperor's reaction was the evidence.

From a mother's perspective, the Queen is disappointed with her husband, but from the Queen's perspective, this is good for the Crown Prince and her youngest son.

The queen had a gloomy face. Although she was the queen, she had never targeted anyone in the harem. The women in the harem represented power, the power of the previous dynasty. As long as they did not cross her bottom line, she was too lazy to care and let them mess around.

But now, the empress lowered her eyes, the Qi family was badly damaged, and the Feng family didn't have much time to thrive, leaving only the Chen family. She had ignored them before because it was for the stability of the emperor's power and for her eldest son.

Since she married the emperor, she reluctantly separated from her husband to fulfill his ambitions. After the establishment of the dynasty, in order to stabilize the political situation, she endured the torment and acknowledged a fake son. She also portrayed herself as a virtuous wife. Who would not say that the queen was virtuous?

But that doesn't mean it's her true character. The eldest son is the reward for her efforts, and the youngest son is her bottom line. "The maids in the harem must be quite old."

The court lady was trembling with fear. The queen was really angry. "Yes."

The queen smiled and said, "Go and get all the lists. I've been having a lot of dreams. As we get older, we believe in karma and it's better to pray for blessings. Yes, also bring the lists of the old palace maids."

The female official was stunned. The last time the queen made a big move was many years ago. "Yes."

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren saw Prince Qi when he left the Ministry of Revenue. Prince Qi was standing in front of the carriage, playing with a fan in his hand.

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue came out one after another, stood still at the door, and greeted the king one after another.

Zhou Shuren also followed suit.

Zhang Jingyang put away his fan and took two steps forward, "Master Zhou, do you have time for a couple of cups of tea?"

Zhou Shuren ruled out the King of Qi in his mind. The King of Qi was not the one who did it, so now he had to choose one of the two. As for the purpose of the King of Qi looking for him, there were too many purposes. "My son was frightened. As a father, I really didn't care. I hope the King of Qi won't blame me."

Zhang Jingyang came to Zhou Shuren generously. He was not afraid of his father finding out. "That's a pity. I thought Mr. Zhou would like to chat with me."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that this guy had no good intentions. If he went to have tea with them today, there would be a lot of speculation tomorrow. He couldn't have too much involvement with any of the princes for now, as he needed the emperor's trust.

Zhou Shuren greeted him and said, "I am in a hurry to go home, so I'll take my leave."

Zhang Jingyang took a step forward, bent down and said in a low voice: "Master Zhou is the person who knows life best among all the people I have come into contact with. I am sure Master Zhou has guessed that it was not me who did it when I came here. So who do you think it was?"

Zhou Shuren looked at King Qi who stood up straight. Was King Qi trying to tell him that he already knew who it was?

Zhou Shuren is now very wary of Zhang Jingyang. The reason is very simple. During the morning court session, Zhang Jingyang knew nothing, but he knew everything in just one day. This is quite fast and also shows the strength of Prince Qi in the capital.

Zhang Jingyang opened the fan in his hand, smiled, turned around and got on the carriage.

Wang Ju did not leave after greeting the king. She waited until the carriage of King Qi left before she stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
