Chapter 403 Wishes

Chapter 403 Wishes
A dignified opportunity.

Zhen's eyes dimmed.

Mr. Heng Yuan lifted the teapot filled with clear water beside him, and gently washed the cup with some dark brown tea soup in his hand.

"these years……"

Mr. Hengyuan looked at the cup in his hand, his voice was soft and calm.

"Sister Junping, have you ever thought of me?"

Zhen Shi didn't answer.

On this day, Mrs. Zhen didn't stay in Qinyuan for a long time, and when she left, Han Chong still came out to see her off.

Mr. Hengyuan looked at the back of Mrs. Zhen leaving, just as expected - Mrs. Zhen never looked back.

After leaving Qinyuan, Zhen's pace slowed down.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to Sanxi Hall to rest? Or go back to Kunning Palace?" the servant girl asked in a low voice.

Zhen Shi was thinking about her own affairs.

The palace road was so quiet and lonely, thinking about meeting Mr. Hengyuan today, Zhen's heart felt a little sour.

She hadn't heard from Ah Heng for a long time. Whether this playmate she spent childhood and youth with was alive or dead, she had long since become an insignificant shadow of the emperor's family.

Zhen Shi sighed lightly.

"Niang Niang?" Seeing that Zhen's face seemed to have turned paler, the servant girl couldn't help feeling worried.

"Don't rest, let's walk again..." Mrs. Zhen said softly, she took a few steps forward slowly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Where is the supervisor of ceremonies...?"

"It should be further west." The servant girl replied, "It's far away from here. If the empress wants to go, you don't move here. The servant girl will find a chariot."

"No, just walk over slowly." Zhen shook her head and said, "I'm not in a hurry..."

……

In the depths of the courtyard of the Supervisor of Rites, Huang Chongde was asleep.

The old man's sleep was already shallow, let alone when he was covered in scars.

Sleeping at this moment is earning money - because after sleeping, you don't have to endure the pain on your body anymore.

Yuan Zhen sat on the head of the bed and slowly fanned Huang Chongde.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, all the decrees that needed to be conveyed through the supervisor of ceremonies were basically good news. Many of the burdens he had borne in the past were also stopped after the death of Emperor Jianxi.

Emperor Qitai didn't like Yuan Zhen's murderous face, so he kept Qiu Shi Sanxitang to take care of him, but he didn't send Yuan Zhen any new errands.

But it's just fine if there's no school—then Yuan Zhen became a rare idler in the ceremonial supervisor at the moment, so he had the opportunity to personally take care of Huang Chongde's daily necessities.

He meticulously took care of this old man who single-handedly brought him to his current position.

The sound of the door opening and footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Although the sound was soft, it was still very harsh in Yuan Zhen's ears. Sure enough, although it was only such a slight sound, Huang Chongde slowly opened his eyes.

"...is... who's here?" the old man asked in a low voice.

"I'll go and have a look." Yuan Zhen put down his fan, "You can rest, these servants who are careless, I will let them have a long memory."

Huang Chongde was amused, but then the wound on his belly started to hurt because of the slight tremor.

His laugh subsided, "Go, it's almost enough."

Yuan Zhen walked out lightly, but soon, the sound of saluting came from the yard.

When Huang Chongde heard Yuan Zhen shouting "Empress Empress", he almost immediately realized that the person who came was Yuan Gong, Princess Zhen.

When Mrs. Zhen pushed the door and entered, she saw Huang Chongde barely straightened his upper body.

She stepped forward almost immediately and told Huang Chongde to lie down quickly and not move.

"How come you come to such a place..." Huang Chongde wrote the fear and fear on his face, "If you want to do something, just send someone to tell the servants, and that's it."

The servant girl at the side has already moved a chair with a back for Mrs. Zhen.

"Elder-in-law, don't be too polite," said Zhen in a low voice, "You have always served Emperor Father, how many times you have helped us overtly and secretly, I will remember it in my heart."

"That's not the servant's help," Huang Chongde quickly replied, his voice was already very weak, but there was still an unhurried demeanor, "It's all the Holy Majesty's will, it's just... the old man doesn't want to say it clearly .”

Mrs. Zhen smiled—it was not without reason that Huang Chongde was able to sit firmly in the top spot of the chief inspector.

Until this time, he still humbly pushed all the credit to the old master at that time.

Maybe it's because he always put his identity right that this old man was able to finally win Emperor Jianxi's trust...

After the first questioning, Zhen asked about the details about the Shenji Camp with some concern—Emperor Jianxi could bypass the former court, but he absolutely couldn't avoid the real right-hand man by his side.

Huang Chongde also gave answers, some were straightforward, some were cloudy, and for the few important points, he often started coughing painfully before Mrs. Zhen finished speaking.

So again and again, Zhen Shi stopped asking - there is no need to say some things anymore, from Huang Chongde's many reactions, Zhen Shi has already read the answer she wanted.

She asked Yuan Zhen to pour some warm water for Huang Chongde, and then chatted with Huang Chongde.

Before leaving, she said softly, "If Eunuch Huang has any gaps to make up, feel free to speak up."

"That old slave dares..." Huang Chongde said in a low voice, "Now I have a wish."

Zhen Shi looked at him seriously.

"Can you ask Bai Siyao to come into the palace to see me again?"

"Bai Ling?" Zhen Shi was a little surprised, "What is your father-in-law looking for?"

"It's nothing else. If you say it, you won't be afraid of the Queen's empress's jokes." Huang Chongde smiled, "Slaves live in the palace all their lives without children, so they don't think much about what will happen a hundred years later... But this girl is clever and clever, and this old servant regards her as a half-child in his heart."

When Huang Chongde said this, Zhen Shi was even more surprised.

"...I don't know how many days this old bone can last," Huang Chongde's voice slowly dropped. Yuan Zhengang was about to refute this ominous nonsense, when he heard Huang Chongde speak calmly.

"In short, if you can meet before you leave, you will see; no, it doesn't matter."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhen nodded, "I understand."

Huang Chongde thanked her sincerely, and Zhen Shi really got up and left. She told the maid beside her that now she planned to go back to the side hall of Sanxi Hall to rest.

The servant girl got the order, and quickly went to pass it on, so that the palace people in the side hall could prepare in advance.

Zhenshi felt her feet hurt a little from walking, Xiaoqing, the only remaining maid beside her, supported her.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this again in the future."

Seeing the other person walking away, Xiao Qing regained some of her previous disposition in the palace, and she blamed with a bit of worry, "Why are you still the same as when you were in the palace, the palace is so big...how is it?" Can you walk on your feet?"

"I should go or I have to go." Zhen said softly.

She looked at the sky, and the sun had gradually moved westward.

Perhaps, she should also find a special time to meet Bo Ling.
