Chapter 95 The Truth
After the eunuch's body was thrown out of the palace, a group of people soon appeared and took him away. These people were Wei Rong's men.
The eunuch was named Taozi. After entering the palace, he was arranged to live in the palace of the queen. Once, Taozi was punished and fell ill. He almost died. It was Wei Rong who helped him. From then on, Taozi became Wei Rong's spy.
Taozi has been lurking in the Queen's palace all these years and has never contacted Wei Rong. This is why the Queen did not find anything unusual.
This time, the conspiracy between the Queen and the Crown Prince was exposed. It was Taozi who passed the message to Wei Rong, and Wei Rong, who received the message, planned this drama.
This play is intended to make the prince and the third prince become enemies, so that Wei Rong can reap the benefits, but the ultimate goal is to protect Zheng Su.
Ever since Wei Yang was granted marriage and married to Zhao Qiang, Wei Rong knew that in the palace, without strength, she would be like a fish at the mercy of others, so from then on, Wei Rong has consciously cultivated her own people.
In the past, he thought that he might not be able to defeat the Queen and the Crown Prince, after all, they had a powerful family like Prime Minister Zhao behind them. Now he has Susu and the support of his father-in-law.
Now that he has the support of Shengxia, who holds military power, how could Wei Rong not fight for it? After all, that position is a position that many people dream of, and he is no exception.
"Your Highness, the person is still alive. Please decide how to arrange it." Wei Rong's men came to report.
"Send a doctor to treat his injuries. If he can be saved, send him to the farm to recuperate."
"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, the subordinate stood up and left.
After the matter was resolved, Wei Rong took the purple jade bracelet that he had carefully selected in the warehouse and went to Zheng Mansion to see Zheng Su.
Today is also the day Xia Yang comes to visit. Although Zheng Yun knows the whole plan, he is still a little worried.
Fortunately, Xia Yang's arrival can divert Zheng Yun's attention a little, otherwise he feels that he will not be able to help but rush into the palace. At the morning court tomorrow, he must ask His Majesty to issue an edict to grant the marriage.
Zheng Yun took the article brought by Xia Yang and read it carefully. Seeing the content, Zheng Yun expressed his satisfaction. Although some of the ideas in it were a bit immature, they were all valuable ideas.
Zheng Yun carefully looked at the article in front of him, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes smiling.
Xia Yang stood quietly beside Zheng Yun, his heart full of admiration. He knew that Zheng Yun was the Taifu of the current dynasty, knowledgeable and talented, and had unique insights into various issues.
After a while, Zheng Yun seemed to have finished reading everything. He raised his head, smiled and said to Xia Yang, "Come, let's take a look here together."
Xia Yang nodded quickly and walked to Zheng Yun, listening to Zheng Yun's analysis. Zheng Yun's words were like a bright light, illuminating Xia Yang's originally vague thoughts.
His analysis is easy to understand and makes people suddenly realize that the problems that once troubled him now become clear.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Grand Tutor, for your guidance." Xia Yang thanked him respectfully. His admiration for Zheng Yun grew deeper, and at the same time he felt lucky to have received such guidance.
"I wonder if you are willing to be my student." Tutor Zheng looked at Xia Yang's humble expression and asked proactively.
"The students are willing." Xia Yang was surprised and agreed immediately.
Xia Yang poured a cup of tea from the side, came to Zheng Yun, knelt on both knees, served the tea, and said respectfully, "Please have some tea, teacher."
Zheng Yun nodded with satisfaction. He drank the cup of tea as a token of his apprenticeship. From now on, Xia Yang would be his student.
"You must do well in the imperial examination this year. Your teacher has high hopes for you." Zheng Yun looked at Xia Yang and said in a very good mood.
"From now on, you can come to my house every six days and bring your articles with you. I will guide you one by one." Zheng Yun never accepted students randomly. Almost all of his former students became officials in the court or local areas. Now Xia Yang is the only one who did not enter the official career.
After a while, Zheng Su came back in a carriage, and Xia Yang tactfully said goodbye and left. After Zheng Yun saw Xia Yang off, he hurried forward to ask about Zheng Su's situation.
"Susu, is everything okay?" Zheng Yun pulled Zheng Su and looked at it carefully from beginning to end.
"Father, Susu is fine. Everything is going as planned." Zheng Su explained quickly.
"Master, the Tenth Prince requests to see you." A servant from the mansion ran in to report.
"Please come in, Tenth Prince."
"Father, I'll go change my clothes first." Zheng Su felt a little sweet in his heart when he heard Wei Rong coming. He knew that Wei Rong must be worried about him, so he came here.
"Go." Zheng Yun was in a very good mood when he learned that Zheng Su was fine.
"Father-in-law, how is Susu? Is she frightened?" Wei Rong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Today's incident is all thanks to you, otherwise Susu would have been dragged into that fire pit."
"Father-in-law, I didn't do anything. It was Susu's bravery." Wei Rong responded with a smile.
"Your Highness." Zheng Su changed his clothes as quickly as possible and came to see Wei Rong.
"Susu, please take the prince around the mansion." Zheng Yun coughed lightly, preparing to give the two some space to be alone.
"Yes, father, Your Highness, please follow me." Zheng Su bowed slightly in response.
"Susu, are you afraid?" The two of them came to the pavilion in front of the pool and stood side by side.
"I'm not afraid. I know His Highness will protect me." Zheng Su said, shaking his head slightly.
"Susu, now that the imperial edict has not been issued, you still have room to regret." Wei Rong looked at Zheng Su and said something against his will with a complicated expression. He was afraid that he would encounter more dangers in the future.
"Your Highness, do you want Susu to die?" Zheng Su looked at Wei Rong with a sad expression.
"No, Susu, I never meant that. I was just afraid that you would be in danger again. You don't know how scared I was outside the palace today." Wei Rong said with some fear.
"Your Highness, I am not afraid. I am willing to advance and retreat with you. I believe Your Highness can protect me." Zheng Su turned to look at Wei Rong and said firmly.
"Susu, you really won't regret it."
“No regrets.”
Wei Rong hugged Zheng Su into his arms, but let go in an instant. Now they are still fiancée, and he can't just ignore it and ruin Susu's innocence.
"Susu, I saw this bracelet in the warehouse before and it suits you very well. I hope you like it." Wei Rong was a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much." Zheng Su took the purple bracelet with great joy. The texture of the bracelet was warm and delicate, and the purple color was as moist as water, emitting a faint glow.
The moment the bracelet was put on his wrist, Zheng Su felt a coolness spreading along his wrist, making him feel refreshed.
He stared down at the bracelet and found that it complemented his skin tone perfectly. The purple light made her hand look even whiter and as smooth as mutton-fat jade.
"Very beautiful." Wei Rong looked at Zheng Su and said with a smile, but he didn't know whether he was talking about the beautiful person or the beautiful bracelet.
