Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

"Nothing, just asking." Zhu Zheng took it with a smile.

When she heard that Gong Yixiu was not in Shengjing City, she felt relieved for a rare moment.

These days, speculations about the mysterious owner of Jinxiang Tower have made her a little nervous. Not to mention Gong Yixiu, she even suspected Rong Yan.

I suspected that he was approaching me for some ulterior motive, that this autumn hunt was a sudden invitation, and even that he had never left Shengjing...

It turned out that he had gone to solve the flood problem in Suinan City. No wonder I felt that he looked tired, which he was hiding deliberately, at the first sight. His eyes were slightly dark blue, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Zhu Zheng was feeling depressed and felt guilty for her own unfounded speculation when Nie Rusheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "The gods have appeared! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too!"

Zhu Zheng raised her head and asked, "Grand Prince?"

Nie Rusheng pointed, "The one sitting behind the Grand Tutor, the one in blue."

Behind Rong Yan's seat sat a man in pale blue clothes, with narrow satin of the same color and pattern covering his eyes. His complexion looked extremely pale, almost giving people the illusion that he was too weak to wear.

His Majesty blessed Tianlan, and all the royal relatives and nobles said a few auspicious words, but he was the only one who remained motionless and silent, like a shadow behind the crowd.

It turned out that he was Gong Yihao, the deposed crown prince as rumored among the people.

"The eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"blind."

Nie Rusheng said without hesitation, "The eldest prince suddenly fell ill with a strange disease. Not only did he lose his sight, but his health was also not very good. The emperor sympathized with the eldest prince and could not bear the turmoil of court affairs, so he deposed the eldest prince and enthroned the youngest prince."

"On the day when the East Palace changed its owner, it was rumored that the Second Prince cried and shirked responsibility, saying that the Emperor's brother was the one who could be the crown prince, and that he was not fit for the job and was ashamed of Dayong."

Nie Rusheng knew the secret of Dayong well. It had already spread all over the streets and alleys. Even Zhu Zheng, who didn't care about state affairs, had heard it several times.

Unfortunately, what you hear on the streets is often not the truth.

The previous queen passed away in her prime, and the emperor was bedridden. He never appointed another queen, and the harem was almost empty. This generation of the royal family was small, with few offspring, and only two princes.

Gong Yihao has been living in seclusion since the incident, but Gong Yixiu has been in public every day, and people have gradually forgotten that there was once a prince in the Eastern Palace.

But Zhu Zheng had some vague impression of this eldest prince whom she had never met before.

Before the eldest prince was deposed, he was also born into a royal family. When he was seventeen years old, an imperial decree was suddenly issued to select a crown princess.

All the noble ladies in Shengjing were required to send their portraits to the palace, including hers and her elder sister's.

At that time, the Zhu family was in decline and the grandmother had no time to hire a painter. After the portrait was finished, she showed it to Zhu Zheng. The small and inconspicuous rouge mole on her face was painted into a pea-sized red spot.

Zhu Zheng was so angry that she laughed, and simply picked up the pen to add some items to herself.

When this portrait entered the palace, Red Spot had already been given four legs, a head and a tail, and a red turtle was directly on top of the face.

There was no further news after that.

At that time, Zhu Zheng was at an impulsive age, fearless and fearless.

If it were now, I would never be so reckless and would never go too far in doing such a thing.

"My brother asked me to go over and said that the Second Prince has come down. Fourth Miss, I'll be back soon."

"Go ahead." Zhu Zheng nodded.

This Miss Nie has a good heart, but she is blinded by a man like Gong Yixiu.

Gong Yixiu was good at using public opinion to build a golden statue for himself, and he loved to provide disaster relief and help the poor. No matter how hypocritical he was and how many double-dealing tricks he hid, he really did some good things, so it was no surprise that he deceived everyone.

This Miss Nie is just a microcosm of the tens of millions of people in Dayong. They believe that such a prince will definitely protect the peace and prosperity of Dayong and have a bright future.

Who could have imagined that beneath his gentle and gentle disguise, he was actually a bloodthirsty person? Three days after he took the throne, he slaughtered all the palace servants.

Zhu Zheng felt a chill growing in her heart, but she would never be foolish enough to argue. Saying anything without evidence would only make her look like a lunatic.

But there is one thing that is a little strange.

It has been five years since Gong Yixiu was appointed Crown Prince, and few people call him Second Prince anymore.

This girl really admires Gong Yixiu, so why doesn't she change her words?

Before I had time to think deeply, a small call came from under the table.

"Long time no see, Miss Zhu..."

Zhu Zheng lowered her head and saw a person squatting under the table with a gilded basket on his head filled with a small mountain of fruits.

A corner of the basket was moved away, revealing a round head and a round face with so much smiling that only the eyebrows and eyes could be seen.

It turned out to be Rong Yan's little attendant, the one called Liu Feng.

"Fourth Miss." He put the basket on the table, "This is what the master specially asked me to bring to you. Try it."

The red peaches are covered with water droplets and look very fresh, crisp and delicious.

"Why did you suddenly give me this?" Zhu Zheng asked.

Liu Feng smiled innocently, "My Lord said that I stole the fourth lady's fish and it was an offense. I should apologize. I will return you a plate of young peaches after a long time. I hope the lady will forgive me."

Zhu Zheng was stunned holding the two peaches. She had long forgotten about the fish, but she didn't expect Rong Yan still remembered it.

The Grand Tutor is such a fair man with a good memory.

"Oh, by the way, the master also asked me to bring a proverb to you, young lady." Liu Feng scratched his head, "It said something like peach and fate, wait, what is it, I wrote it down, young lady, wait a moment, I'll take a look."

Liu Feng took out a note from his body, checked it several times, and forgot about it when he looked up. Finally, he decided to read the note.

"Young peach is graceful, blessed with a long life."

Zhu Zheng glanced at the note. The handwriting on it was as slanting as a silver hook, quite elegant.

She couldn't help but repeat it silently, "The grace of blessing and the destiny of longevity" is indeed a good phrase.

Zhu Zheng didn't hesitate. She picked up the peach and took a bite. The sweet juice immediately filled her mouth, and it seemed as if her mind became much clearer.

"Are these planted at the foot of Qilu Mountain?" She couldn't help but be curious. It was autumn now and it would be difficult to eat fresh peaches.

Liu Feng shook his head. "My Lord brought it back from Suinan. It took a lot of effort. He put it in an ice container and carried it with him every day..."

"What?" Zhu Zheng couldn't hide her surprise, and for a moment she felt that the peach in her hand had become much heavier.

Master Taifu has put so much thought into this just to send a return gift, is it worth it?

There were stringed instruments and drums all around, and a circle of dancers were performing the opening blessing dance. She subconsciously looked towards the podium and saw Rong Yan surrounded by a group of close ministers, but his eyes were looking at her like a distant cloud through the crowd.

Seeing Rong Yan looking at her, Zhu Zheng raised the peach in her hand high without thinking.

This return gift showed too much sincerity. Zhu Zheng originally wanted to show him that she had received it.

Rong Yan slightly raised his chin across the crowd, his lips curled up in a faint smile, but his eyes and eyebrows were as elegant and graceful as falling flowers chasing water.

The voices of the people around her seemed to suddenly become distant, and the sound of drums was booming all around, making Zhu Zheng feel empty inside. She suddenly turned her eyes to the side, remembering what kind of occasion this was, and looked around.

After making sure that no one was looking in this direction, he lowered his head and continued to eat the peach in his hand.

Suinan is such a great place.

The peaches were so sweet that they made her teeth go soft.

After the dance was over, the dancers withdrew to start another dance, and the guests began to move around and socialize with each other. Seeing this opportunity, Zhu Zheng mixed in with the dancers and slipped out through the door.

She held two young peaches in her arms and trotted back to the tent where she had just rested.

"Sister!" Zhu Zheng lifted the curtain, "Look what good things I brought back for you..."

The end of Zhu Zheng's words came to an abrupt end and disappeared into the air.

The tent was empty.

Zhu Qing is missing.
