Zhu Qingyi frowned and lowered his head to think. What happened tonight was a bit strange. This man who suddenly appeared claimed to be a general who came to suppress the rebellion. He was also the Marquis of Jianchang and the uncle of the current emperor. This was really unbelievable.
She didn't know whether she should believe this person's words. If this person was sent by her uncle to test her, then wouldn't it be a bad thing for her to trust him easily?
However, judging from various signs, what this man said does not seem to be a lie. Everything he said is correct. He also repeated what he and his maid Caiyun said in the carriage, indicating that he was indeed hiding in the carriage at that time and was captured. A sudden manhunt on the street forced him to hide in a carriage. He entered his house by accident. If Zhu Zhixiu had arranged it in advance, it would have been too deliberate. I'm afraid there is no such possibility.
At the moment, he didn't know what to do. Zhu Zhixiu was pressing hard, and everyone in Prince Qing's palace didn't know what to do. His younger brother, the young prince Zhu Taihao, was injured by Zhu Zhixiu because he was unwilling to listen to Zhu Zhixiu's words. Now he is still lying on the bed unable to move. It seems that if Zhu Zhixiu's request is not met, the entire palace of Prince Qing will not be able to survive. The old thief who is worse than a pig or a dog has become red-eyed and black-hearted, and he can do anything.
It is impossible for him to marry Sun Jingwen, and the Qing Palace cannot be a traitor. The wealth accumulated for several generations cannot be occupied by Zhu Chixiu and used to recruit troops. What should we do with all this?
During this period of time, Zhu Qingyi had never encountered such a crisis in his twenty years of life. When his father passed away, Zhu Qingyi, who was only fifteen years old, gritted his teeth to hold on to the situation in Prince Qing's Mansion. She took care of her two young brothers. She vowed to wait until her brothers grew up and could support Prince Qing's palace before considering her personal marriage. For this reason, she rejected the marriage proposals of many young talents and outstanding men with rich family backgrounds. I missed my youthful years.
It is actually very rare for a twenty-year-old woman to be unmarried.
But she didn't care about these, but she couldn't solve the current predicament. After all, she was a female prostitute, and there was no adult man in the family to support her. Facing Zhu Zhixiu's intimidation, she really couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so she could only accept it in vain. , hoping to delay it. However, she also understands that delaying may not work. If there is a way to solve the current predicament at this moment, she will definitely try it.
Now, this Mr. Zhang suddenly appeared and said that he could save Prince Qing's Mansion and help him. He wanted to cooperate with him to deal with the situation at hand. How could Zhu Qingyi not be tempted?
However, with this person who broke in alone, even if he told the truth, what could he do to reverse the situation? Zhu Qingyi felt a little guilty in her heart. How could she help him?
"Princess, it seems that you still don't believe me. That's no wonder. I don't have anything on me to prove my identity. Because I want to sneak into the city, I can't bring anything to prove my identity. That's all, I won't force it. It's my responsibility to handle the counter-insurgency matters. It's time for me to take my leave." Zhang Yanling stood up, cupped her hands and said with a smile.
Zhu Qingyi stood up and said in surprise: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Yanling said: "It's getting late, I have to find a way to get out of here in the dark. I can't do anything if I'm stuck here. I still have many brothers in the city, and I have to join them. In any case, it's time What needs to be done must be done.”
Zhu Qingyi frowned and said, "But, how do you get out?"
Zhang Yanling said: "There is always a way, the worst is to break out. In short, I can't waste time here. By the way, I heard you say that the young prince of Prince Qing's Mansion was injured, right? But I don't know where he was injured.
.I have some healing medicine here that may relieve the pain of the young prince."
Zhang Yanling took out a small jar of medicine from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This is a first-aid powder, specially designed to treat broken tendons and fractures due to injuries from falls. Apply it externally to the injured area and change it once a day."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yanling took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured two green pills out of it, and placed them on the table.
"This is the Eight Treasures Heart-protecting Pills. It can protect the heart and life if you are seriously injured. I will give you two pills for the young prince to take, which will have a great effect on the injury. I am not stingy, these pills are too precious, and I only brought five pills.
.That’s it, I’ll take my leave.”
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands, turned and walked towards the door. He really didn't have time to waste here. Since the princess of Prince Qing's Mansion was suspicious, he really had no way to dispel her wariness. Instead of doing this, it was better to find another way.
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Qingyi called softly.
Zhang Yanling turned around and said, "What do you want, Princess?"
Zhu Qingyi stared at the green pills on the table and said in a deep voice: "You said this pill is called 'Babao Heart-protecting Pill'? Where did you get this pill?"
Zhang Yanling said: "What? Does the princess know this medicine?"
Zhu Qingyi looked up at Zhang Yanling and said: "As far as I know, this is the family elixir passed down by Mrs. Tan Yunxian, a famous doctor in the capital. How come you have this kind of elixir from the Tan family? What is your relationship with the Tan family?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "This is indeed an ancestral elixir of the Tan family. To be honest, my Mrs. Ru's name is Tan Ruqing, and she is Mrs. Tan's granddaughter. This time I went on an expedition, and she prepared a few pills for me.
.You are quite knowledgeable.”
Zhu Qingyi let out a surprised sound, stared at Zhang Yanling and said: "You... you... you are Ru Qing's husband? Did Ru Qing marry you?"
Zhang Yanling felt something strange, turned around and came closer, laughing in a low voice: "What? Do you know Ruqing?"
Zhu Qingyi said: "Tell us about Ruqing's height, appearance, character and habits."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "You are here to test my wife's appearance and habits. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Zhu Qingyi said seriously: "You said that I have met him. If you lie, I will know."
Zhang Yanling was speechless and said with a smile: "Like green? How do you say it? She is as quiet as a delicate flower shining in the water, moves like a weak willow supporting the wind, speaks softly, is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Needless to say, her appearance is one of the best in the world. I like to wear it.
Simple and elegant
She eats light food and eats light food. She likes to drink osmanthus tea. By the way, there is a cinnabar mole under the left collarbone and a burn scar on her right forearm. She was burnt when she was eight years old and fell asleep while making medicine. How?
Is that detailed enough?”
Zhu Qingyi looked shocked. Although Zhang Yanling did not describe Tan Ruqing's appearance in detail, wasn't this Tan Ruqing he was talking about? Especially the scar on his right arm, he had seen it with his own eyes. How could he know if he was not Ruqing's husband?
The scars on her body?
"It's true, you are indeed Ruqing's husband. What a surprise." Zhu Qingyi exclaimed softly.
Zhang Yanling said: "Do you really know Ruqing? This is strange. I never heard her say she had been to Ningxia Town, nor did she say she knew you. She didn't mention it when I came."
Zhu Qingyi said softly: "She and I haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. That year, my mother and I went to the capital to visit the old lady Zhou. While we were in the palace, my mother suddenly fell ill. So we asked for a talk.
The old lady came to the palace for treatment. Madam Tan brought Ruqing into the palace with her. We met at that time. I am afraid she didn’t know who I was at that time, let alone that we were from Prince Qing’s Mansion in Ningxia.”
Zhang Yanling was also a little surprised and said with a smile: "The world is big, but it is also small. I didn't expect you and Ruqing to actually know each other."
Zhu Qingyi nodded and said: "Yes, she was really young. I made friends with her and had a very happy conversation. We got along for seven or eight days. Later, my mother recovered from her illness. When we were leaving, my mother took me with her.
We went to Tanjia to express our gratitude. The two of us even cried. I wanted to tell her my identity at that time. My mother said that it is not easy to make good friends. People don’t ask, so there is no need to emphasize my identity, so as not to worry too much.
So I didn't say anything. Mrs. Tan is a very nice woman. I heard that my father
He was seriously ill, so he gave us a bottle of Babao Heart-protecting Pills, saying that we could use one pill to save our lives in times of crisis. The Babao Heart-protecting Pills saved my father's life several times. My father suffered from heartache.
Symptoms, often fainting and not knowing what is going on, taking the medicine
He got better immediately after taking the medicine. It's a pity that he couldn't save his life in the end. By the way, I gave Ruqing a gift before leaving, and Ruqing also gave me a gift. It was a small medicine bag with her embroidered on it.
His name. I’ll show it to you.”
Under Zhang Yanling's astonished gaze, Zhu Qingyi took out a small package from the bottom of the box next to the bed, opened it and took out a small medicine bag. It was actually a small cloth bag with interlayers. There was indeed a "green" embroidered on the back.
' word. Although the medicine bag is small and the fabric is just ordinary dyed cloth, it has fine stitching and fine workmanship, making it very cute.
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that there was such a connection between you. If Ru Qing knew about this, he would be extremely surprised. What a coincidence." Zhang Yanling was really surprised.
Zhu Qingyi looked at Zhang Yanling and said, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that you are Ru Qing's husband? Is she okay?"
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "She is very good. She owns a medicine shop, and this first-aid powder is the healing medicine she prepared. It is extremely popular. She is very busy every day, and she always ignores me."
Zhu Qingyi laughed and said softly: "She must be very happy. It can be seen that you love her very much and take care of her in every possible way. She is so happy, unlike me..."
Zhang Yanling whispered: "The current difficulties will eventually pass. Princess, Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion is unpopular and will definitely fail. I will definitely solve this matter. Even if you and Ruqing are old friends, I will not allow it."
Zhu Zhixiu acted recklessly and bullied you."
Zhu Qingyi nodded and said: "Master Zhang, I have decided to help you. Tell me how I can help you."
