"What do you mean by 'everyone knows it'? You loser, this is a good job you did!"
At noon, in the Imperial Palace's Imperial Household Department, Qiao Gui was in a good mood today. Last night, he used the excuse that a mythical beast, a white unicorn, had appeared in the north to lead the Emperor on a tour to the north to capture the unicorn.
The emperor had been feeling depressed and had no way to vent his feelings these days because he had lost the big and small white tigers. When he heard about the white unicorn, he was immediately delighted. He was even more anxious and excited than Qiao Gui. He urged Qiao Gui to leave the palace and head north overnight.
Qiao Gui was also afraid that if he delayed it for too long, what if others found out, the court officials would obstruct him, and there would be setbacks along the way, and the emperor would not be able to leave. If the emperor did not leave, the imperial guards would certainly not have the chance to reach Qiao Gui.
So after deceiving the Emperor, Qiao Gui ordered his men to prepare for the Emperor's northern tour overnight, and scheduled the departure within three days.
As a result, early in the morning, the memorials submitted by various departments all reported the invasion of the northern barbarian army. Qiao Gui was furious and wanted to vomit blood on the spot. He immediately sent someone to summon Captain Zhu to ask this useless person what was going on.
Captain Zhu was also very frightened. Yesterday, the factory manager had ordered that the news about the little prince of the Northern Tartars must be kept secret and not even a single word of it could be leaked in front of the emperor.
How could such a major military event be kept secret? Even the emperor was kept in the dark? Could it be that the danger on the border was just left unchecked?
Although Captain Zhu took refuge with the factory owner, he was just following the crowd and trying to keep his job.
However, as a minister of the Great Mu Dynasty, shouldering the responsibilities of a thousand households in the imperial court, eating the emperor's salary, it is natural for him to share the emperor's worries. Zhu Qianhu felt that it was inappropriate to hide this matter from the emperor, but intimidated by the power of the factory master, he dared not say anything and just returned to his mansion silently. He tossed and turned all night and could not fall asleep.
This morning, Captain Zhu heard the servants in the mansion talking about the northern barbarians coming to attack. He was delighted at first, thinking that now that everyone knew about it, the court would be prepared and the crisis on the border could be resolved.
Then he was shocked again and cried out, "Oh no!"
What if the factory owner thought that it was Captain Zhu who spread the news?
Captain Zhu immediately sent his men to inquire around, trying to find out the source of the information. This way, if the factory manager blamed him, he could clear himself and give an explanation.
As a result, when his subordinates investigated, they found that the news had spread everywhere in the streets and alleys, and everyone knew about it and was spreading it. No one knew how many times the news had been passed on. How could they find out the source of the news and who was behind it?
After hearing what Captain Zhu had reported, Qiao Gui was so angry that he threw the inkstone filled with ink at Captain Zhu:
"Useless! Useless! Useless! You are ruining our family's business. What use are you to me?"
Captain Zhu knelt on the ground, letting the stone inkstone hit his forehead but he dared not move, nor did he dare to stop it. He endured the severe pain on his forehead and cried out:
"The factory owner calms down, the factory owner calms down!"
At this time, a young eunuch outside the door reported tremblingly:
"Master, the Emperor is here! He is looking for you, and he wants to ask about the little prince of the Northern Tartars."
Qiao Gui shouted at Zhu Qianhu fiercely, "Get out of here!"
Then Qiao Gui put on a gentle face, straightened his clothes, left Captain Zhu behind, and went out to greet the Emperor.
Captain Zhu did not dare to get up until the factory manager walked away. Something was flowing down his forehead, he did not know if it was ink or his own blood, but it was flowing into his eyes, blocking his vision.
Captain Zhu remained silent and wiped the blood casually. The blood kept flowing. The more he wiped, the more blood flowed. Half of his face was suddenly black and red.
Seeing his horrible and ridiculous appearance, the young eunuch at the door asked in a trembling voice:
"Captain Zhu, do you want to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
Captain Zhu has always kept a low profile in the East Factory, and was very respectful to the young eunuch. He bowed and said:
"I'm afraid that my appearance would offend the emperor and ruin the factory's business. Please lead the way, I'll go out the back door."
The young eunuch was just a low-ranking eunuch, so he was not worthy of being called a master. He hurriedly led Captain Zhu to the corner gate of the Imperial Household Department:
"I am sorry for the trouble, please follow me."
. . . . . .
Captain Zhu left the palace and led his horse. He felt dizzy and the blood on his forehead had not yet stopped flowing into his eyes. He looked towards the palace and found that the palace was also dyed blood red.
At this moment, Captain Zhu should have found a clinic to treat the wound on his forehead, or returned home to sort out his miserable appearance, but for some reason, he held his breath, jumped on his horse, and galloped away. Before he knew it, he arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, he dismounted his horse and was about to knock on the door, but Captain Zhu backed off again.
What do you want to ask?
May I ask if it was the eldest princess who spread this news on purpose?
Ask the princess why she gave him the opportunity to get promoted and make money, and then cast him into oblivion in the blink of an eye?
Even if it was the princess who spread the news, shouldn't it be spread? Shouldn't everyone know about it?
Besides, who the hell is Zhu Qi? He kneels when he is told to kneel, cries when he is told to cry, never fights back when he is beaten, never responds when he is scolded. How dare he question these powerful people in this way?
Zhu Qi, you don’t dare, you never dare, you are just a coward, right?
Captain Zhu made a judgment on himself in his heart, then smiled silently, turned around and left, ready to pretend that he had never been there.
At this moment, the door of the Princess's Mansion suddenly opened, and someone shouted:
"Captain Zhu?"
Captain Zhu hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves, barely wiping off the ink and blood on his face, then put on a harmless smile, turned around, and saw clearly that the person who called him was the princess's maid, the one who sent him out of the mansion yesterday, and hurriedly said:
"It turns out to be Miss Wutong. I am really sorry for being so presumptuous..."
Wutong saw Zhu Qianhu's embarrassed face and asked in surprise:
"Captain Zhu, have you just returned from suppressing bandits somewhere? Why do you look like this?
Captain Zhu wants to see the princess, wait a moment, I will pass the message on to see if His Highness is available to see Captain Zhu now."
The princess' maid acted very efficiently. While Captain Zhu was still thinking about how to make up a story about the injury on his face, Wutong had already slipped into the door and disappeared.
Captain Zhu was in a dilemma as to whether to leave or stay. Finally, he sighed heavily and went to the gatehouse. He asked the princess's gate servant for a basin of water, and barely cleaned his face. He waited for the princess to tell him about it, and silently prayed to himself that the princess was busy and didn't have the time today, and that she shouldn't tell him about his good deeds.
After a while, Wutong came back:
"Captain Zhu is so lucky. Your Highness happens to be free right now. Please follow me."
Captain Zhu was really regretting his decision at this moment. Why had he gone crazy enough to run to the Princess's residence? What should he say when he sees the Princess?
As a result, when they met the princess, before Captain Zhu could say anything, Su Fengyi frowned:
"What happened, Captain Zhu? When we were searching Liu An today, we encountered thieves again?
Wutong, is Divine Doctor Liao still in the mansion? Go and ask him to check Captain Zhu's wound, treat him, and then go find some clothes for him.
Captain Zhu is an official appointed by the imperial court of our Great Mu Dynasty. He is loyal to our Great Mu Dynasty and represents the reputation of the Great Mu Dynasty. It is really inappropriate to describe him like this.
Huh? Captain Zhu, why is Captain Zhu crying? "
Captain Zhu didn't know why he was crying, and he didn't even realize that he had shed tears. Singing, reciting, acting and fighting were his livelihood, but he clearly didn't use any of these skills just now and he just cried without realizing it.
It's probably because, after being ordered around like a dog every day, I suddenly feel like I'm being treated like a human being, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it.
