Because Wen Zhenmeng was going to contact his old friends and classmates, his homework was temporarily stopped. Zhu Youxiao woke up and finished washing. After breakfast, he went to the palace to meet his elder brother and sister-in-law and test his marriage.

When he arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he told the eunuch that he wanted to come and report to Tianqi. Unexpectedly, the eunuch walked out a while and said, "Prince, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. Therefore, he ordered the prince to go directly to ask the Queen."

Zhu Youjian laughed secretly. The emperor's brother was obviously busy working in carpenters and under the guise of state affairs. It was ridiculous. But since he had said that, he had to come to Kunning Palace. However, he didn't expect that the queen would be bedridden today. Thinking that the queen was in a good mood a few days ago, she didn't expect that she would be so sick today, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

After entering Kunning Palace and taking a seat, Zhu Youjian said, "I don't know that the emperor's sister-in-law is sick, so I'm really upset."

I heard from the queen, "I don't know that, but I'm really powerless in the past two days. If you want to have something to do, come again in two days." Today, the queen seemed to lose her warmth when speaking, but there was a sense of air conditioning and even evil spirits in her words! Compared to the previous few days, she was completely different. Because she talked with the queen across the tent, Zhu Youxiao really couldn't see the situation inside, so she didn't want to say much, so she had to get up and say goodbye to the palace. However, she didn't know that the queen was holding the quilt in the tent, and the blue veins popped out on the back of her hand. There was still some blood on the quilt below.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Youjian really couldn't imagine how the queen was seriously ill. The matter was a bit strange, but he didn't even have any eyeliner in the palace, and his eyes were shady.

He ordered Wang Chengen to come over and asked, "You came from the palace. I don't know that there are no people you can trust in the palace. Today, the queen was bedridden and could not afford to come. It is obvious that something was wrong. Can you find a few people in the palace? We can get some news so we won't be blind."

Wang Chengen thought for a while and said, "Prince, Wei Zhongxian is now covering the sky in the palace. All the father-in-laws in the palace are all lying on their own. If they really trust the slaves."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but now Wei Zhongxian is so arrogant that it is really hard to find someone who dares to do things on his back. Wang Chengen lowered his head and pondered for a long time, suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I almost forgot about myself."

Zhu Youxiaoxiu said: "Who is this person? Tell me quickly."

Wang Chengen said, "This man is named Cao Huachun, and this man has some connection with the prince. When he first entered the palace, he was ordered to serve the prince. But at the time, Eunuch Wang An liked his talent, so he left him in the palace. Later, Eunuch Wang An was killed by Wei Zhongxian, and he was demoted to Shangyijian. This man had an irreconcilable grudge with Wei Zhongxian, and Shangyijian was in charge of the clothing and crowns of noble people in the palace. If he could help the prince find out the news, it would be feasible."

Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he would find a treasure. He told Wang Chengen to contact Cao Huachun, and not to reveal his intentions for the time being, but not to be stingy with money and property, and be sure to make a streak with Cao Zhengchun. Wang Chengen was ordered to leave.

Thinking that Wen Zhenmeng was about to come back in about half a month, but he had not made any progress yet, he felt a little anxious. He had to pick up a record of the Grand Historian, look at the relief of his boredom, and wait for news from Wang Chengen.

But the Zhou family in the south of the city was really full of sorrow today. Because of offending King Xin, the whole family was sent to the imperial prison. After finally getting out of the imperial prison alive, the family's property was confiscated completely. The house was also sealed, so I could only stay in three ancestral homes in the south of the city. The eldest son Zhou Chong beat Zhu Youxiao and moved a thousand miles on his crimes, and was assigned to Liaodong as a military force. Today Zhou Chong was released to stay with his family for one day and will go out to Liaodong tomorrow morning.

Zhou Chong saw the whole family waiting at the door, and thought that he had been going thousands of miles to Liaodong, but he was afraid that he would bury his bones in a foreign land. He also saw tears on his parents' faces, and he knelt heavily in front of the two elders and said, "If your son doesn't grow up, he will defeat the family, and he will be sad. His son will die and never be buried." After saying that, Zhou Kui and Na Ding shed tears again.

Zhou Ling wiped the tears from her face and advised: "Brother, don't say such things. Get up quickly and let's go to the house first."

A few words reminded the family. When they entered the gate, the whole family sat in the main hall. Looking at the dilapidated yard, I felt even more sad.

Zhou Ling said: "Although our family is defeated, there are still some ancestral properties. Now that my brother is going to travel far, he must first plan to use his brother. He will only stay at home for one day today and will leave tomorrow morning. If he is late, he will not be able to rely on it."

Zhou Kui held back his sorrow and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't be discouraged. You have to do your best to do your best to make a contribution and make a job. Our family will definitely recover."

Zhou Ling also comforted her: "My father and mother still have me. Although my younger sister is not as good as my brother, as long as she keeps her duty, the family will be able to live well. As long as my brother is safe there, everything will be fine."

Seeing that his parents and sister had no complaints to him, Zhou Chong felt relieved and felt bitter. Ding thought that his son would be traveling far tomorrow and had not packed his bags, so he pulled Zhou Ling to pack his luggage for him, leaving the two of them to talk in the main hall.

Before leaving, he sewed it tightly, fearing that he would return late. He took out a few pieces of clothes that Zhou Chong had not many, sewed them cleanly, and then baked a few large pieces of cakes, cooked some cooked meat and put them in the bag. Zhou Ling wrapped his elder brother and checked it carefully, and then stopped without any omissions.

There was nothing to say all night, and early in the morning, the yamen's official came home and urged him to go on the road. Zhou Kui had been persuaded for a while and put some money in his hands and asked him to take care of him. Zhou Chong walked out of the house and said goodbye to his family, and went north.
