Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 52 Mrs. Prime Minister
Shaking his head, Nan Gongxun thought again: "It must be because I still want the support of the general, so I have such an idea."

With a slight nod, Nan Gongxun affirmed his thoughts before walking out.

His purpose of coming today is not just to deliver medicine to Zhu Ziqi, in two days he will go to the border to fight, he must use the only two days to win Zhu Jing's power for himself.

"Master Hou, since Second Miss has already used the antidote, I believe she will wake up within two days, it's still early, why don't you go to your study, my lord has something to talk to Lord Hou about.

As soon as he walked out, Nan Gongxun said.

"So, please, King Ji."

Zhu Jing heard Nan Gongxun's words, a shrewdness flashed in his cloudy eyes, but it was also a flash, and he stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

The two went to the study together.

"Master Hou, in fact, besides delivering the antidote to the second lady, I have one more thing to ask for when I come here this time. I know that by saying such things at this time, it seems that it is easy for Lord Hou to misunderstand that I, Nan Gongxun, are using small favors to come. Bribe Hou Ye, but I don't have much time, so I don't care about that much, please forgive me."

As soon as they entered the study, Nan Gongxun said straight to the point.

His tone was very earnest. In fact, what he said was true, except that Nan Gongxun did not get the antidote himself.

"Ji Wang said that, you just said that you and I are Weng son-in-law, naturally we are a family, not to mention you have done me Zhu Jing a big favor, from any aspect, I, Zhu Jing, should help you That's right. You are so polite, but it makes the lower officials panic."

Having said that, Zhu Jing bowed and saluted.

"Master Hou, please hurry up, with your words, the king will feel at ease."

Nan Gongxun hurriedly helped Zhu Jing up, and at the same time said with relief.

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Since this is the case, this king will speak directly."

Zhu Jing nodded.He signaled Nan Gongxun to continue talking.

But Nan Gongxun turned around, turned his back to Zhu Jing and took two steps toward his relatives, before he said: "Master Hou must have heard something, now my mother and concubine are plotted by the queen and imprisoned in the Scorching Sun Palace, and the power of this king , has been weakened a lot by the queen. Now I have nowhere to go, so I have to come to you, my father-in-law. I hope you can stand by my king at this time. If you can persuade General Cai to join me, then I can ask you You promise that this king will never let down the trust of the two adults. One day, if I can get what I want, I will definitely not treat you badly, my father-in-law. Naturally, I will not neglect your daughter. I also ask my father-in-law to agree. "

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhu Jing stroked his beard, took two steps hesitantly, turned his head, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "It stands to reason that you saved my daughter just now, King Ji, and the next official should repay you wholeheartedly." OK, but this matter..."

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Jing said again: "His Royal Highness Ji Wang should understand that my position as Marquis is just a vain position without any strength at all. Even if I stand on your side, it is just a chicken rib. General Cai..."

Shaking his head, Zhu Jing continued: "Back then, I hated him for breaking me up with Caidie. After we got married, I seldom interacted with him, and I was disrespectful to him. At this time, his daughter is still dead. I will go to him again. I'm afraid he won't sell my account either. Therefore, I'm afraid that the lower officials won't be able to help you because of King Ji's help."

"..."

Nan Gongxun did not expect that Zhu Jing would reject him so completely.How could he not know that what he said was half true and half false.

His position as Marquis is false, it is true, but he secretly raised some soldiers, these things, maybe even the emperor knows, but because of their Zhu family's contribution to the imperial court, so it is also open-minded Close one eye.As long as the number of those private soldiers does not pose a threat to the court, it will be fine.

As for General Cai's matter, it was half true and half false. Although he hated the Cai family at the beginning and refused to associate with the Cai family, he had a daughter with Cai Xiaoyun after all, and that was Zhu Zixin. Even if you want to get rid of it, it is impossible.

If he really wanted to help himself, he would go no matter what method he used.Among them, of course, Zhu Zixin was asked to lobby, she was his daughter, if he put pressure on him, he didn't believe that Zhu Zixin would not listen.

Thinking of this, King Ji decided that it was Zhu Jing who refused to help him, but for the sake of long-term planning, he couldn't fall out with him right now, so he had to go home and think of other ways. He deeply felt that Zhu Jing was unwilling Helping him must be because Zhu Zixin doesn't hold enough weight in his heart.

Or, it was because the bait he threw was too far away, so he planned to think long-term.

Thinking of this, Nan Gongxun said: "Since Lord Hou has already mentioned so many difficulties, I don't want to make things difficult for Lord Hou. I still have some things to do, so I will take my leave. I will call on you another day."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.

At this time, Zhu Jing's eyes showed a sly light, and he said: "King Ji, go slowly, I have a few words to say."

Nan Gongxun stood still, but his slender figure never looked back, it was as cold as an iceberg.Although he can't see it on his face
Most of the time, but it doesn't mean that he has no temper.At this moment, his performance showed that he was still a little angry.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Jing didn't panic, but said behind him: "King Ji, actually, I think that you are taking things too seriously this time. You just go to fight. I believe that I will wait for your triumphant return." When I return, everything will return to how it was before.”

After he finished speaking, Nan Gongxun's body froze slightly. Then, he seemed to understand something, turned around, and said in an uncertain voice: "You mean..."

Seeing him like this, Zhu Jing naturally understood that he had figured out what he meant, so he nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for reminding me! This king knows what to do!"

Nan Gongxun raised his eyebrows in a rare way, clasped his fists and said, after finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away, his footsteps seemed much lighter.

As soon as he left, Zhu Jing's warm face that had been smiling just now was covered with a layer of frost. He stood with his hands behind his back, a look of sternness in his eyes, and then he raised his legs and walked towards the main hall again.

As soon as he walked out the door, he turned around and told Xiao Si who was following him, "Go and call everyone to the main hall."

Zhu Zixin had just returned to Dongli Garden when there was a knock on the door.Xiao Cui opened the door, and a Xiao Si said: "Master ordered, let the young lady go to the main hall."

Hearing this voice, Zhu Zixin who was drinking tea in the room froze slightly, but in an instant, he returned to normal and drank the tea in his hand.She sat quietly, although she had heard what Xiao Si said, she still waited for Xiao Cui to open the door and came in before asking calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to miss, the master ordered you to go to the main hall."

Xiaocui's voice was a little hesitant, with faint worries.

"Nothing! Isn't it just going to the main hall? Don't be so panic! Let's go."

After speaking, Zhu Zixin stood up and went to the main hall.

When Zhu Zixin arrived, the main hall was already full of people.Zhu Jing stood directly in front with his hands behind his back, with his back to everyone.She walked over, stood aside, and waited quietly.

I saw Second Aunt and Zhu Zichan had already arrived, and they were all waiting by the side.

When everyone is here,

Zhu Jing suddenly turned around,
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a cold voice: "Doctor Lin has found out that Second Miss' illness is not a disease, but someone poisoned her!"

After a pause, a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his lips, and he said again: "Except for the people waiting for the mansion, few outsiders know about the second lady's illness. Even the empress dowager was very cautious when she sent the imperial doctor. , but the King of Ji not only knew about the poison Qi’er had suffered, but also brought the prescription, isn’t this too coincidental?”

Having said that, Zhu Jing glanced at the crowd coldly, and finally, he fixed his gaze on Zhu Zixin and asked, "Xin'er, Prince Ji is your future husband-in-law, what do you think of this matter?" Yes?"

Although it was a questioning tone, it was much more severe, which showed that the object of his suspicion was Zhu Zixin.

Zhu Zixin had long expected that Zhu Jing would guess her head, which is why King Ji sent the antidote so brilliantly.From everyone's point of view, she and him were an unmarried couple, so she would naturally think of helping him win the throne. It was not impossible to use such means to win over her father and grandfather.

However, despite this, Zhu Zixin did not panic, but said calmly: "Daddy, Xiner knows that you won't believe what Xiner says now, I'm afraid everyone here thinks so, right? "

Looking around, Zhu Zixin said again: "I am originally a member of the waiting mansion, so it is easy to start. I poisoned my own sister first, and then asked my fiancé-in-law to deliver the antidote. My lord father is naturally grateful for his kindness." , and then willingly become his subordinates..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zixin smiled: "Hehe, very good strategy! But, father, if I beg you at this moment, I beg you to report to the emperor, I, Zhu Zixin, would not care to be the concubine of Lao Shizi Ji. That's all for now, Father, if you still think that I am the one who poisoned you, Xiner has nothing to say, but wait for the second sister to wake up, and you will find out the case and then return me to my innocence."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zixin's voice was a little choked, and after a while he said again: "However, Xin'er still wants to remind Dad that if you want to find out this case, you should first investigate the origin of the poison."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zixin shut his mouth, and obediently stood aside, waiting for Zhu Jing's reaction.

Zhu Jing's expression changed a few times when he heard Zhu Zixin's words, but finally he waved his hand and didn't speak.

After a while, he said again: "Now, the old man does not presumptuously deduce who the murderer is. Everyone in the Hou Mansion has the possibility. Since Xin'er said so, I will not ask further questions as a father. However, I want to To be clear, who poisoned Qi'er? If you confess now, I will spare you, and if you feel embarrassed in front of so many people, then I will wait for you to confess before Zishi. If you don't come here at that time, if I find out, no matter who it is, even my own daughter, it will be executed!"
