Chapter 96 Mutual Computation

Zhu Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he left Kunning Palace. Empress Zhang in history had no offspring, but she was open-minded and did not lose her mind when she encountered such a frame-up as Keshi. He believed that she would survive.

"I have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Xu had just turned over a pavilion, Zhang Yanyao, dressed in red silk, appeared in front of Zhu Xu with a slightly bow.

When Zhu Xu saw her, he narrowed his eyes.

He knew that Zhang Yanyao had entered the palace, but she suddenly appeared in front of him, which unexpectedly surprised him.

Zhu Xu's expression just moved, and he squinted his eyes at Zhang Yanyao's red silk, which made him think of Keshi at the first time. Keshi likes to dress like this, which looks noble, gorgeous, and has a status, as if this can break away from her background.

Zhu Xu shook her head in her heart. Zhang Yanyao may not know that her outfit obviously conveys Zhu Youchao's longing for Keshi, and she is just a substitute.

Zhang Yanyao looked at Zhu Xu. It was the first time she saw her. Her face was soft and she looked like she couldn't help but blew.

The two looked at each other, looked at each other, and thought about each other.

Zhu Xu's mouth raised slightly and said, "Which Wei Zhongxian asked you to come?"

These days, Wei Liangqing used a lot of relationships, including Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Shuntianfu, and the right guard of the city patrol. He almost used anyone who could use it. The capital seemed calm, but in fact, he had almost dug three feet to the ground for Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian still helped to hide it, but obviously he couldn't hide it for too long.

Zhang Yanyao was not afraid of Zhu Xu, her face was still calm, and she bent slightly and said, "Yes, Eunuch Wei asked me to say a few words to Your Highness."

Zhu Xuheshou, he pretended to be the banner of Queen Zhang, and it was difficult for people outside the palace to tell the truth, but how could Wei Zhongxian, who was in the palace, be deceived?

"Tell me," Zhu Xu said. He was also curious now, why did Wei Zhongxian dare to come to him?

Zhang Yanyao looked at Zhu Xu's expression and whispered: "Eunuch Wei was released from prison half a month ago. He knew that his highness was in trouble. He said that he could help him solve it."

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, smiled calmly and said, "What's the trouble with me?"

"Salt field, Huitong Trading Company, Huimin Chamber of Commerce, and Eunuch Wei can all help." Zhang Yanyao's expression was quiet, but her eyes were staring at Zhu Xu's face, and her voice said softly: "He knows that Your Highness likes money, and he said that he can help Your Highness earn more."

Zhu Xu sneered and shook his head and said, "The fun of making money lies in doing it yourself and accumulating bit by bit. If I just want money, do you think it will take so much effort?"

Zhang Yanyao looked at Zhu Xu, was silent for a moment, and said, "Eunuch Wei said that Your Highness has no power in the court, and even the Jinyiwei can only be called upon by order. He can help Your Highness control the Jinyiwei, and there are many yamen, so that no one will prevent Your Highness from making money."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and felt a little nervous. It seemed that although Wei Zhongxian guessed that he was behind the recent series of events in the capital, not everything was found out. It was true that he was imprisoned too suddenly. When he woke up and wanted to check it out, he didn't have much power to use, so naturally his knowledge was limited.

Zhang Yanyao looked at Zhu Xu's expression and her eyes flashed slightly. She paused and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Wei still has many people in his hands. He can help Your Highness do a lot of things."

Zhu Xu listened to Zhang Yanyao's words, vaguely understood what Wei Zhongxian meant, and smiled and said, "You mean, Wei Zhongxian, do you want me to cooperate with him?"

Zhang Yanyao pursed her lips, looking weaker, and said softly: "Eunuch Wei, I just want to help Your Highness to survive."

"That's all?" Zhu Xu said with a smile more and more.

Zhang Yanyao seemed to be accurate Zhu Xu, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I will make him happy. I will buy him a yard outside the palace and receive a monthly salary. I will not send anyone to watch him, as long as he lives in that yard honestly."

Zhang Yanyao's face froze slightly, her brows frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Wei is sincerely willing to do things for you."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said in a serious manner: "I will give him two ways. You will either stay in the yard arranged by me and wait quietly for old age or come into the palace and be the general manager of the common affairs of the king. There is no third way!"

After all, Zhu Xu was the king of the dynasty. Although he had not yet joined the vassal state, all the personnel in the royal palace could be placed in advance. He wanted Zhang Wenda to be the chief minister of the royal palace before, but this cunning man was so cunning that Zhu Xu could not do anything to him.

But Wei Zhongxian is different. This person, he will either die immediately or be seen to death. Zhu Xu will never allow him to escape from his sight!

Zhang Yanyao looked at the domineering aura on Zhu Xu, her expression slightly condensed, and her tone said in a cold tone: "Your Highness, I am deeply favored by the emperor now, and I will be a concubine soon. The power of Eunuch Wei in the palace and outside the palace is not needed to say more, I believe your Highness knows it."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yanyao with a cold look and said, "I can make someone beat you outside the palace. In the palace, I can beat you to death directly. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask Mrs. Fengsheng after going down!"

Zhang Yanyao's body trembled, fear flashed in her eyes, and she frowned and said, "Your Highness's words, I will convey them to Eunuch Wei."

"No need," Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Yanyao and said in an orderly tone: "I will hand over the salt field matter to him. From today on, I will pay one million taels a month. If one tael is missing, I will let him die on the street that day, go."

Zhang Yanyao looked at Zhu Xu's cold expression and felt distressed. This was completely different from the situation she discussed with Wei Zhongxian. His Highness Hui seemed to be determined to be Wei Zhongxian, and there was no room for negotiations to ease.

Zhang Yanyao also knew very well that she was no match for King Hui, both inside and outside the palace, and even Madam Fengsheng died for no reason, let alone her, a shameful woman.

"I will leave." Zhang Yanyao bent down slightly, turned around and left quietly.

As soon as Zhang Yanyao walked away, Cao Wenzhao appeared silently behind Zhu Xu and whispered: "Your Highness, she came alone, no one followed her."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Yanyao's back and said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian must have entered the palace and find a way to find it."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao bowed. It was not only Zhu Xu who was afraid of Wei Zhongxian, but also outside the palace. I don't know how many people didn't want to see Wei Zhongxian make a comeback.

"Your Highness, have you really let this Zhang Yanyao go like this?" Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu, looked around, and asked when he saw that no one was there.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and said with a strange smile on his lips: "Don't worry, I'll use these two people in the future."

Cao Wenzhao also understood Zhu Xu's thoughts a little, and suddenly thought of some possibility, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, do you want to take Wei Zhongxian for later use?"

"You will know from now on." Zhu Xu said.

At this moment, in a kitchen not far from the imperial kitchen, an old man in his fifties dressed in coarse cloth was adding firewood. A little eunuch who looked like a consul stood respectfully behind him.

"Father-in-law, what are your instructions?" the little eunuch said tremblingly.
