Chapter 140 The Water Spilled by the Married Daughter
After the New Year's dinner, Zhu Zhanzhen returned to his yard and wanted to go to bed early in the cold winter.
But I didn't expect an uninvited guest to come so late.
Lee Hyo Joo came so late.
"Why are you here?"
At this time, Li Xiaozhu was still wearing gorgeous clothes and a headdress, and she slowly said: "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
"Oh? Tell me."
Li Xiaozhu looked around: "Your Highness, can you speak alone?"
"You don't want to assassinate me, do you?" Zhu Zhanyang asked in surprise.
A group of people were speechless. Li Xiaozhu said calmly: "I am no match for His Highness."
"That's true, Chu'er, Xiaosheng, you go out first, close the door, and don't open the door if there's not much movement."
The screen retreated to the left and right, and Zhu Zhanzhen sat beside the bed. At this time, he had taken off his coat and was only wearing sleeping clothes.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Li Xiaozhu carefully looked around to make sure no one was around, then put her hand into her collar.
"What do you really want to do?" Zhu Zhanyang was surprised.
Li Xiaozhu was confused: "Your Highness, this is a secret message sent to me quietly by the North Korean envoy."
I didn’t expect Lee Hyo Joo to hide things so secretly.
After receiving the secret letter, Zhu Zhanzhen frowned when he opened it: "The envoy from North Korea asked you about steam warships?"
"Yeah." Li Xiaozhu nodded: "But I didn't tell them anything, I just said I didn't know."
North Korean envoys could not see Lee Hyo-joo and Lee Sang at any time, so they had to hand over secret messages during the brief opportunity to meet.
Historically speaking, there is no record of the use of force between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, but who wouldn't envy the Ming Dynasty's new warships? It is reasonable to spy on them. However, it was unexpected for Li Xiaozhu to inform Zhu Zhanyi of this matter.
"Why tell me?"
Under the dark night, Li Xiaozhu sighed slightly: "I don't want to be a spy or a hidden stake. If you do it once, you will have to be one for the rest of your life."
Zhu Zhanzhen was a little surprised, but then he smiled with satisfaction: "Smart."
Lee Hyo Joo's appearance of not caring about anything hides a very smart heart.
A girl who has not been loved by her father since childhood also knows how to survive in the cracks. She does not want to be a spy for North Korea. She knows that as long as she takes this step, she will completely become a spy for North Korea to obtain information about the Ming Dynasty, no matter what
She always has a handle on what will happen in the future.
Even if she really has the chance to become a concubine in the future, she will always have someone else's leverage.
This is a timed thunder that may destroy her life at some point.
"You have explained everything clearly to me. Are you not afraid that I will attack the North Korean envoy?"
"I'm afraid, but I thought about it for a long time and finally told His Highness. I just ask His Highness not to blame him because of the friendship between the two countries for many years. Maybe they just want to know about steamships."
Just testing the Ming steam warship is enough for Ming to attack the North Korean mission. However, considering that Ming's most solid ally in the north is North Korea, it cannot break up with them because of this matter, otherwise there will be another enemy in the north, Ming.
It's also very uncomfortable.
North Korea will check and balance Jianzhou Jurchen and Wu Liangha, and because of North Korea's geographical location, even if Wu Liangha and Jianzhou Jurchen jointly fight against the Ming Dynasty, North Korea will be on their side. As long as North Korea and the Ming Dynasty attack together, they will not be afraid.
The little girl Li Xiaozhu didn't expect this, so she saw Zhu Zhanzhen put the secret letter on the fire and burned it.
Seeing that Zhu Zhanzhen did not blame him and had no intention of pursuing him, Li Xiaozhu felt relieved.
"I believe Li Shang will also receive this secret letter."
Li Xiaozhu nodded: "But she doesn't know anything about steamships."
"But she knows you are following me, and this information may be passed on to the North Korean envoy."
Li Xiaozhu was stunned and nodded: "Maybe."
"Don't worry. If you have faith, just keep coming and talking to me. I will protect you."
The words "I will protect you" made Li Xiaozhu raise her head and look at Zhu Zhanzhen with bright eyes. It seemed that no one had ever said this to her.
Her mother blamed her for being a girl, and her father disliked her for being unlovable. Only the eccentric grandson in front of her could say such reassuring words to her.
Maybe I am lucky.
The married daughter threw away the water. Li Xiaozhu was determined to follow Zhu Zhanzhen for the rest of his life. At least the emperor's grandson he followed was not difficult to please, his behavior was eccentric, his behavior was not difficult to get along with, and he had no bad habits.
.
If she was following Zhu Zhanchun, even if she were beaten to death, she would not be informed of this incident.
Zhu Zhanchen thought for a while and said: "Hey, let's find a chance to meet the North Korean envoys before they go back."
"What is your Highness going to do?"
"Knock it on and don't have other thoughts. When the time comes, you can be as shameless as the Japanese envoys."
Zhu Zhanzhen suddenly thought of something and asked: "Do you have a food called kimchi? Or pickled cabbage?"
Li Xiaozhu looked confused: "No, Your Highness."
"That's right, there are no chili peppers yet."
Chili peppers were only introduced in the late Ming Dynasty. There are no chili peppers in the Ming Dynasty, let alone North Korea, so the basic raw materials for making spicy cabbage are not available.
I originally wanted to teach the North Korean envoy how to make spicy cabbage, but now I can only give up and wait until I get peppers to make spicy cabbage.
According to the habits of North Koreans, spicy cabbage will definitely sell well, and they can eat a lot of it in a year. As long as the spicy cabbage is exported to North Korea, it will be enough to make a lot of money.
Zhu Zhanzhen coughed: "Ahem, why don't you stay tonight."
This sudden invitation to the same room made Li Xiaozhu even more surprised. She didn't understand what Zhu Zhanzhen meant.
As an innocent boy in his twenties, Zhu Zhanzhen was also a little embarrassed: "Well, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that tonight you sleep in yours and I sleep in mine, but you sleep in mine."
In the room, that’s understandable.”
"But Your Highness, this doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette." After Li Xiaozhu finished speaking, he remembered that His Highness in front of him seemed to do very few things that were in line with etiquette.
I wanted to refuse but I didn't want to refuse. Li Xiaozhu fell into a dilemma, mainly because she didn't understand what Zhu Zhanzhen meant.
"Your Highness, if I stay here tonight, other people in the palace will find out about this matter tomorrow, which will not be good for Your Highness."
"You have told me about the secret letter from the North Korean envoy. As a man, I am not doing anything, so I am not good enough."
Li Xiaozhu never expected that Zhu Zhanyang would say this, and fell into silence for a while, looking up at Zhu Zhanyang with more admiration.
Outside the room, Chu'er was a little helpless when she saw that Li Xiaozhu hadn't come out yet. Where would she sleep tonight? Sang Yu pulled her and said, "You and I can sleep in the same bed."
"But what should I do if Your Highness wakes up at night to urinate?"
Sang Yu rolled his eyes at her: "Of course there are people waiting on you."
Finally, Li Xiaozhu took off her headdress and sat beside the bed with a flushed face: "If Your Highness stays here tonight, I will also sleep on the bed."
This is not...
How can you refuse...
It was dark and quiet, and there was a movement in the bed.
"It's okay, I promise I'll just lie down and sleep."
"kindness……"
…
"Can I hug you? I promise it's just a hug."
"kindness……"
