I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 33

Zhang Cheng passed Xu Lianlang and walked straight to the east room. The fire on the stove had already been lit, and thick smoke came out of the chimney. The pot had just been filled with water. Lu Jieming rolled up his cuffs, bent over, and wiped the bottom of the pot. .

Zhang Cheng stood still at the door, looking down at Lu Jieming.

He recovered very quickly, the boy's body was like the sun rising from the east, it seemed that he only needed to take a rest with the moon at night to regain his brilliance the next day.

His exposed arms have smooth lines, his long legs are slightly open, and his back is broad and straight. Looking from afar, it looks like His Majesty's appearance when he was young.

Zhang Cheng approached slowly, Lu Jieming stopped what he was doing, and glanced at him.

The emotions in the eyes are completely exposed, and the hostility and resistance are innocently exposed in the eyes.

Zhang Cheng pretended not to see his resistance, and talked to him on his own.

"Your eyes follow His Majesty's, but they are a little sharper than His Majesty's." Zhang Cheng taught the emperor since he was a child, and the last time he saw you, it is completely understandable why His Majesty favors the Seventh Prince so much.

In this way - the eyes, born sharp, have their own majesty, and over time, the emperor's appearance will be gradually cultivated, without anger and self-prestige, just - the eyes can make the treacherous officials fight in the court.

He likes him very much.

He is the one who resembles the emperor the most among the princes. When we met that day, you could still see a little hostility in his eyebrows and eyes. Today, when I saw him again in the midst of the smoke and fire from the stove, I found that the hostility had disappeared. It faded a lot.

Zhang Cheng noticed that Lu Jieming's gaze only stayed on him for a moment, then passed over his shoulder, fixed on a certain position, and became soft and joyful in an instant.

Zhang Cheng turned his head in surprise, his eyes moved down, and he was facing the smiling face of the little girl.

She gave birth to a very pleasing appearance, with a full face, a straight nose, rosy cheeks, and smiling eyes that look like a doll in a New Year picture. The whole person is bright and brilliant.

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help thinking, could it be that the seventh prince has changed so much in just a few days because of this girl?

He couldn't help but look at her a few more times, it turns out that there is another person in Shoyun Pavilion who can control the Seventh Prince's temper.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Xu Lianlang probed her head, and met Zhang Cheng's probing eyes with an undefended and calm attitude. She waved to Lu Jieming, "Are you going out to talk with this gentleman? I'll cook this meal, don't worry, Sooner or later, there will be time for you to show your talents."

The corners of Lu Jieming's mouth also curled slightly, and he even took a few steps forward so that she could hear his voice more clearly, "Sister, no need, I'm here today. I've been sick for the past few days You are tired, you should take a rest."

He lazily raised his eyelids, his expression changed instantly, arrogant and indifferent, "As for this one, what I said before is very clear, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore."

Zhang Cheng was quite frustrated by his discriminative treatment of flipping the book and changing his face. He rubbed his chin and secretly poked and guessed the relationship between the two.

He was originally deviant, and he was not bound by many rules. If it wasn't for such a meal, he would have been idle and wild cranes, and the world was his home.He didn't think it was against the rules for the dignified prince to call a maidservant "sister".

He is erudite and knowledgeable, and he has read serious books for half his life, and he has dabbled in those messy books.

This—girl—boy,—sister—brother, all the stories in the book that I had read earlier were in my mind and I went straight into it.

He coughed lightly twice, trying to take on the airs of the emperor's teacher, but the Seventh Prince's side didn't work, so he thought of a new way.

The Seventh Prince's attitude towards this girl was too clear, and that kind of flattering and joyful nostalgia was undisguised.

That being the case, the Seventh Prince must listen to what this girl said.

Zhang Cheng didn't respond to Lu Jieming's words, turned around quickly, smiled at Xu Lianlang, and said, "Girl, I'm here to find you, not Your Highness."

Xu Lianlang pointed to himself uncertainly, "Are you sure?"

When it comes to Xu Lianlang, of course Lu Jieming couldn't stay still, his cold eyes were full of vigilance, he pushed Zhang Cheng away and stopped them between the two of them.

The wolf cub guarded the food like that, blocking Xu Lianlang's figure firmly behind him. He was not as tall as Xu Lianlang, and Xu Lianlang could just put his chin on his thin shoulders. She stuck her head out again, wiping the heat from her mouth. The young man's earlobe was extremely sensitive, and it immediately turned red. Her voice was crisp and crisp, "You are looking for me, so let's go outside and talk?"

She made a gesture of please.

Zhang Cheng folded his sleeves, and while answering Xu Lianlang, he winked at Lu Jieming, even the curving of his gray beard was very complacent, he seemed a little disrespectful, Lu Jieming was angry tooth itching.

Knowing that this method is not much better than the aggressive method, he still took the bait.

He gritted his back molars with a "creak" sound, almost gnashing his teeth and pulled Zhang Cheng's sleeve, "Teacher, I'll go with you."

Zhang Cheng achieved his goal, and he didn't mind that he made him unsteady, and said to Xu Lianlang with great interest, "Little girl, I'll find you later."

Xu Lianlang made a "hmm" sound, and wanted to tell Lu Jieming that his illness happened to be out of the wind, but when he raised his eyes, he found that there was no one there.

Lu Jieming quickened his pace, Zhang Cheng's voice hadn't faded away before he disappeared.

He-Lu took Zhang Cheng to the front yard of Suoyun Pavilion, where the golden Buddha statue still looked down on everything with compassion.

When Zhang Cheng saw this Buddha statue, he remembered that when the emperor insisted on building the Shuoyun Pavilion against all opinions, he really loved Concubine Rong to the bottom of his heart.

The casting of this Buddha statue was also to protect the Seventh Prince and celebrate the birth of the Seventh Prince.

Day and night, the existence of Buddha statues became ironic instead.

He couldn't help sighing, but the first sentence he spoke couldn't help but ask the sinful concubine first, "Is Concubine Rong okay?"

At the beginning, there was a password ban in the imperial concubine's affairs, and all the relevant personnel involved were killed by the police, so there were not many people who knew about it, and Zhang Cheng was one of them.

He has no wife and no children, and has never been involved in factional disputes. The emperor trusts him to the extreme. He once thought of persuading the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Rong, but after the thorough investigation, it has become an established fact that Concubine Rong is not clean. .

Even if she was framed, could the emperor treat her without any concern?

The heart of the emperor cannot be guessed.He was careful, but he didn't say anything after all. Seeing the desolation and dilapidation of Shuoyun Pavilion now, he felt guilty because he kept silent at the beginning.

Lu Jieming didn't like those people in the palace who were related to the emperor to mention his mother and concubine. He tilted his head back, impatient, "As the Taifu saw, I can't die."

Zhang Chengxiao's bitterness, it was too difficult to reverse the case at the beginning, especially when the emperor himself was unwilling to touch this matter, he might not be able to do it in this life.

As soon as this idea came out, another voice in his mind spoke quickly again, no, there is another possibility that the case can be reversed quickly, as long as the seventh prince is established as the prince.

At that time, for Dayan's face, His Majesty will give Concubine Rong a good identity regardless of her innocence.

He took a few deep breaths, and suddenly seemed to understand the emperor's actions.

Could it be that the title of Concubine Rong is still retained, that is, her life is spared, and she is not thrown into the cold palace.

It turned out to be - I had always been looking forward to the Seventh Prince.

Then what is the purpose of the emperor to expel the Seventh Prince here?

Zhang Cheng frowned, unable to think of an answer.

The human heart is the most complicated thing, and it is fickle. Perhaps even the emperor himself does not know what this contradictory behavior represents.

The Seventh Prince was young and very stubborn, and he was always not clear enough about many things. He was so much older than him, and after he figured out his temperament, he had to find another way.

For their mother and son, it is naturally best to return to the palace, blood relationship is here, how can they expect a stable life.

The current stability is always temporary, and those people in the palace will not let the hidden danger of Shuoyun Pavilion always exist.

Since Zhang Cheng has taken a fancy to him, he has to help his apprentice think about the future.

Zhang Taifu is like this, look for a person, and help anyone regardless of the cost.Lu Jieming rejected him, he had to find a way to guide him to understand that only by accepting his teachings could he protect the person he wanted to protect in the future.

Seeing him, Lu Jieming didn't say why he came here, and wanted to go back even more. Xu Lianlang took care of him for three days in a daze, and even took care of the work of the Tower of Clouds. She was busy with a layer of blue.

He felt sorry for her and wanted to start with cooking meals and help her share the work.

He wants to be a good brother, and he is really working hard to do what he does.

"Teacher, I think I've made it very clear. The emperor has so many sons. You are the emperor's teacher with high morals. It's a shame to teach me."

The corner of his mouth was raised in disdain, but the words of refusal were beautiful.

The Taifu is innocent and shouldn't bear his resentment towards his father. He restrained his temper and said slightly seriously: "I'll send you down. I heard that it's going to rain. It's hard for you to move around when it rains."

But Zhang Cheng spoke unexpectedly, and what he said did not let Lu Jieming think of it at all, "The old man was blind a few days ago, and saw the Seventeenth Prince in the Shouting Cloud Pavilion."

Lu Jieming squinted at him, then snorted briefly, "Teacher has good eyesight."

He had already raised it, but he didn't think it would only make the Tai Tuo gain an inch, and he really thought he had caught him.

But Zhang Cheng didn't have this idea. He squinted his eyes and leaned on the huge feet of the Buddha statue, "I don't think it's too strange, that little fat man like Seventeen worships you when he urinates, thinking about it day and night, running away It's normal to come here to peek at you."

"But you said it was a coincidence, the prince suddenly mentioned it to me, the uncle of Ye Gui's family who worked in the imperial hospital, made great achievements in the past few days, and developed Huainan's plague prescription with vertical lines .”

"The plague isn't that difficult to treat, but the local officials in Huainan kept the news of the plague and didn't report it. His Majesty didn't know until Doctor Ye developed the medicine and presented it to His Majesty."

When he said this - he was observing Lu Jieming's expression. The young man was calm, his anger and emotion were not on the surface, "Emperor Ye's hometown is in Jiangnan, and he probably has never been to Huainan. I don't know. Where did you get the news of the plague?"

He stroked his beard, "I saw this girl today, I dare to guess—guess, is this girl's family in Huainan?"

In fact, there is no definite basis for Zhang Cheng's conjecture. It is just that the piles are connected in series, which seems to be the only way to explain it.

The main reason is that a few days ago, he just read a storybook, and the plot is similar to what happened today.

Seeing Lu Jieming's gradually frozen expression, Zhang Cheng sighed that he guessed it right.

He was amazed in his heart, so the stories in the storybook were not completely nonsense. It seems that reading more books and miscellaneous books are also useful.

Lu Jieming's face darkened, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Cheng—with an innocent face, he spread his hands, "I really want to know what terms you exchanged with Ye Guiren, is she willing to help you like this?"

Is Zhang Cheng the teacher of the emperor, his gaze is like a torch, when he really wants to inquire about something, the gaze that falls on him makes people feel that he has nowhere to follow.

Lu Jieming's eyes dodged for a moment, he bit his lower lip, and turned his face, "As the Taifu saw, Ye Taiyi was awarded by the emperor, the best of both worlds, Ye Guiren is not stupid."

Zhang Cheng clapped his hands, and slowly stood up straight, the wrinkles on his face deepened, "How come? Ye Guiren is so smart, for her, just supporting an imperial doctor is not worth her risk, so there must still be What?"

His eyes that were muddy due to old age became more and more clear. He bent his fingers and tapped his forehead vainly, "Tell me, what sacrifice did you make?"
