Seeing that his goals for summoning Zhao Junchen were successfully achieved, Emperor Deqing was naturally in a good mood.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, Emperor Deqing said to Zhao Junchen: "By the way, the seventh prince's health has improved greatly during this period of time. As far as I know, this is all because you sent yourself, Junchen."
The famous doctor in the mansion, Zhang Decheng, diagnoses and treats the Seventh Prince. You have done a great job in this matter, and I appreciate your kindness... I can’t believe that you would be so troubled about the Seventh Prince!"
When he said the last sentence, Emperor Deqing looked at Zhao Junchen with deep meaning, as if he wanted to spy on the changes in Zhao Junchen's thoughts.
Seeing that Emperor Deqing suddenly brought the topic to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen's heart tightened slightly, but on the surface he was as respectful as usual and explained: "Speaking of which, I didn't deliberately send Zhang Decheng to be the seventh prince.
The prince healed the body. It was not that I was unwilling to serve the royal family. It was just that I had never had any contact with the seventh prince, so it was inevitable that I was a little negligent. In the end, His Highness the Crown Prince heard that Zhang Decheng, a miraculous doctor who was famous all over the world, came to the house.
Xiangchen deliberately mentioned the seventh prince's physical condition. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect, so he asked Divine Doctor Zhang to treat the seventh prince with all his heart. Unexpectedly, Divine Doctor Zhang actually cured the seventh prince's illness. It was really a miracle.
happy event."
In his words, Zhao Junchen mentioned his relationship with the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, implying that he had no intention of betting on the seventh prince.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Emperor Deqing nodded and asked: "After contacting the seventh prince, what do you think of his character?"
Zhao Junchen said matter-of-factly: "The Seventh Prince has a humble and gentle personality, and has no worries about the world. He will definitely be a good king in the future."
Emperor Deqing nodded again, then stopped pestering the seventh prince, and ended the topic between himself and Zhao Junchen, saying: "It's getting late, I still have some memorials that need to be approved, if you have nothing else to do, just
Let’s go back to the household department to work.”
Originally, Emperor Deqing thought that Zhao Junchen would leave after hearing what he said.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Junchen hesitated for a moment, he bowed and reported: "I do have one more thing, and I hope your majesty can make the decision."
Emperor Deqing was slightly startled and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Zhao Junchen looked bitter and said: "Your Majesty, more than a month ago, I was almost assassinated by gangsters. If Miss Cui Qianxue hadn't blocked the knife for me, I might never be able to serve your Majesty again! However, in this case, I
There is still no investigation to this day. I don’t even know who is behind the assassination of myself. I am terrified all day long, fearing that I will be assassinated again... I hope that your majesty can urge the Third Law Department, the factory guard, and the Shuntian Mansion to investigate as soon as possible.
In this case, I can feel more at ease if I do this."
After saying that, Zhao Junchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since this period of time, there has been a turmoil in the temple. All the officials have their eyes fixed on other places. It seems that they have forgotten the incident of my assassination."
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Emperor Deqing nodded with a serious face and promised: "I will definitely supervise this matter strictly and let the relevant yamen solve the case as soon as possible, and I will never let you, Junchen, be wronged again!
"
Although he agreed to Zhao Junchen's request, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Today's Shuntian Prefecture Yin Huo Zhengyuan is one of Zhao Junchen's die-hard cronies. Doesn't Zhao Junchen's request put Huo Zhengyuan under great pressure? If Zhao Junchen's assassination case remains unsolved, I am afraid Huo Zhengyuan will lose Shuntian Prefecture.
Yin's position.
However, Emperor Deqing thought again and thought he understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts.
Huo Zhengyuan will certainly be under a lot of pressure as the governor of Shuntian, but the Sanfa Department and the factory guards will also be under a lot of pressure, and it is not just the "Zhao Party" who will suffer.
What's more, compared with his own life and safety, Huo Zhengyuan's future is insignificant.
After thinking that he had guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts, Emperor Deqing no longer doubted anything else and readily agreed to Zhao Junchen's request.
On the other side, after receiving the reply from Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen did not continue to pester and quickly left.
In fact, Emperor Deqing completely guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts wrongly. Zhao Junchen had been arranging a big plan for his assassination!
Now that the chess pieces have been placed, we are ready to close the net!
*
When Zhao Junchen left the Meridian Gate, it was already approaching noon.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen did not go to the Hubu Yamen to work, but returned directly to the Zhao Mansion.
When Zhao Junchen returned to the Zhao Mansion, as soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a Zhao Mansion steward named Zhao Shun secretly reporting to Zhao Junchen: "Master, you are finally back."
Seeing Zhao Shun's expression a little anxious, Zhao Junchen asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the house?"
Zhao Shun replied: "Mrs. Ruyi was in a bad mood after hearing about what happened in court this morning. She first scolded Young Master Guo Tang, and then said that she should not act selfishly. In the end, she did implicate the master. During this time, she also
Several vases were broken, and the maid next to Mrs. Ruyi said that Mrs. Ruyi seemed to have secretly cried for a while..."
Young Master Guo Tang's comments on Fang Ru were indeed a bit vicious, and they touched Fang Ru's most sensitive areas. No wonder Fang Ru cried and became angry.
Then, Zhao Junchen asked: "So, what is Ru'er doing now? Is she still crying or angry?"
Zhao Shun replied: "After Mrs. Ruyi dropped the vase, she quickly calmed down. Now she has left the house and seems to have gone to the Tongji Temple in the south of the city to burn incense. She said she would be back before lunch at noon."
After hearing Zhao Shun's answer, Zhao Junchen smiled.
Tongji Temple is the agency responsible for intelligence and infiltration under Zhao Junchen. Fang Ruzai has always been in charge, and it can be said that he has been showing off during this period. As far as Zhao Junchen knows, Tongji Temple has also bribed some informants in Guo Tang's house.
.
Now Fang Ru suddenly decided to go to Tongji Temple to burn incense, obviously to take revenge on Guo Tang.
This is the shrewd and capable Fang Ru that Zhao Junchen is familiar with. With a character like Fang Ru, she will never cry or make trouble or feel sorry for herself because of something. She will only use the most direct means to solve it completely.
question!
Obviously, even without Zhao Junchen taking action, Guo Tang would definitely be unlucky in the future.
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Junchen was somewhat looking forward to Fang Ru's specific means of revenge against Guo Tang!
