Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 434 What happened outside the Yamen

"How about it? Did our head find anything wrong today?"

In order not to cause trouble to Emperor Zhu Chongba, Empress Ma stayed in the heavily guarded mansion for a whole day without going out.

It was not until night that Emperor Zhu Chongba finally came back.

During this period, she listened to all the cross talk, and finally started listening to books as a last resort.

As a result, when I heard it, I took it in so much that I didn't even react. It was already night.

But this does not mean that she will show a good mood to Emperor Zhu Chongba. Before preparing for this parade, Emperor Zhu Chongba gave her various guarantees.

I promise that this time is to fulfill my previous promise, to take her to travel to the great rivers and mountains, and to give all the rights to the prince Zhu Biao, so as not to cause trouble to the other party or put too much pressure on the other party.

As a result, the fact is that before they left the capital, Emperor Zhu Chongba had already changed the southward march to Suzhou and Hangzhou to the westward march to Nanhe.

And as soon as he entered Nanhe, he just left her here and went out by himself.

I have to help cover up the situation ahead and investigate the real situation among the people.

When Emperor Zhu Chongba faced his sister's complaints, he naturally had no choice but to admit his mistake first.

"Look at what delicious food we brought back for you, sister."

Emperor Zhu Chongba turned sideways and opened the large and small boxes of local specialties carried by Erhu and his subordinate Jin Yiwei. Many of the items were still steaming.

"So you bought these things for a day?"

"Then I want to see how delicious these things are, and whether they are worth waiting for us to buy."

Empress Ma looked at the embarrassment on Emperor Zhu Chongba's face and knew that he probably didn't find out anything. She smiled and shook her head and did not continue to embarrass him.

"Hey, put it on the table quickly!"

Only then did Emperor Zhu Chongba dare to smile and sit next to Queen Ma. Yu'er and Erhu also appeared as a husband and wife team and quickly put the contents of the lunch box on the table.

"..."

"What! You're going to keep me here all day tomorrow. What else are you going to do? Haven't you found out everything today?"

"Sister..."

"Okay, I can't care about you, so tomorrow Yu'er and I will go to Huangzhuang first, so as not to delay you in the city."

Queen Ma stared at Lao Zhu, and finally saw the helplessness on his face, and nodded, but she also gave her request.

When Lao Zhu faced this request from his sister, he naturally knew what she was blaming him for, and he opened his mouth to say something.

But in the end, he could only nod.

"Come on, girl, let's give you some medicine!"

"Cough cough!"

"Why is this storyteller also sick?"

The two couples finally understood each other. Just as the warm moment was going on, Emperor Zhu Chongba was holding the medicine and feeding Queen Ma himself at the stall.

The storyteller standing nearby coughed suddenly, which first attracted Empress Ma's attention, and Emperor Zhu Chongba naturally followed her.

"What's wrong, are you tired today?"

"We shouldn't let these gentlemen have no rest today! Yu'er! Quickly bring these gentlemen..."

Queen Ma looked over and immediately wondered if she had made these storytellers tired and sick because she had asked these storytellers to take turns telling stories to her.

We need to let Yu'er take a few storytellers down to rest.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern, ma'am!"

"We have medicine here!"

There were four storytellers in total, only one of them was coughing, and the other three were fully equipped.

One person took out medicine, another person took out water, and one person stepped forward to support the coughing person and put medicine into his mouth.

When Emperor Zhu Chongba saw this, he turned back and wanted to continue feeding Queen Ma the medicine.

Seeing that there was medicine, Queen Ma turned around with relief and prepared to take her own medicine.

However, just when the atmosphere on their side was about to return to its previous warmth, a sudden movement diverted their attention.

"What's going on here?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After all, looking back, it was just the storyteller who was coughing before. He couldn't get relief after taking the medicine. He kept coughing until he suddenly collapsed and gasped for breath.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Let's take him down now!"

Emperor Zhu Chongba waved his hands somewhat distractedly to express his agreement. Erhu immediately stepped forward and worked together, then turned around and saw the concern in his sister's eyes.

"Erhu, let the imperial doctor take a look!"

"Yes!"

In the hall, Erhu looked towards the corner, and several imperial doctors who had been silent followed suit.

The chaos in the hall finally disappeared, and it fell into an eerie silence.

This silence made everyone in it feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Especially Emperor Zhu Chongba. He felt that his heart was beating very fast for no reason.

That storyteller?

There are many book gentlemen, and even if there are relatively few people who meet Empress Ma's expectations, they can still be found by searching through the entire Sun and Moon Dynasty.

Is it because I didn't notice anything unusual today?

Forget it, feeding the girl medicine is more important right now, I’ll think about it later.

So in the end, he endured the discomfort, tried his best to smile, picked up the unfinished medicinal soup, and handed it to Queen Ma's mouth.

"Chongba..."

However, Empress Ma didn't seem to see the emotion on Emperor Zhu Chongba's face. She looked away from the door, where the storyteller had left, and reached out to gently take the medicine bowl and put it on the table.

"What's wrong, girl? Is the medicinal soup still hot? Isn't it hot anymore?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba felt a little panicked again for no reason. He picked up the medicine bowl and put it to his face to feel the temperature. However, it was not what he expected.

The medicine bowl wasn't hot at all, so why did my girl suddenly call me Chongba?

"This medicine is a bit bitter, I don't want to drink it today."

Empress Ma looked at Emperor Zhu Chongba's things and couldn't help laughing, but she still refused the medicinal soup that Emperor Zhu Chongba brought up.

Emperor Zhu Chongba wanted to persist. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to let his sister continue to take out the medicine and drink it. However, in this inexplicable silence at this moment, he felt that he could not say anything.

So he could only turn his head and look at where the imperial doctor was standing.

The imperial doctor immediately summed it up and finally nodded to him.

"Then we won't drink today."

"Yu'er, take note and make some medicine for us to drink later."

Emperor Zhu Chongba took Queen Ma's hand and did not dare to look into Queen Ma's eyes. He could only look at Yu'er.

"How can you make this medicine taste good? Good medicine tastes bitter."

"I just can't drink tonight."

Emperor Zhu Chongba seemed to be instructing Yu'er, but he was actually instructing the imperial physician.

When Queen Ma saw the imperial doctors in the corner hearing Emperor Zhu Chongba's request, her face immediately showed embarrassment, and she quickly expressed her rejection.

"It's not like I've had a hard time waiting for you, the head of the house, today. I've eaten too many fruits during the day, so don't embarrass Yu'er."

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault! I promise not to keep you waiting too long tomorrow, girl. Maybe we will catch up with you just after you arrive at the palace. Then we will set off directly to see that..."

"Let's go see the Zhuohe River Dam."

Faced with Emperor Zhu Chongba's confusion, Queen Ma gave a suggestion. After hearing this, Emperor Zhu Chongba naturally nodded immediately.

This suggestion also opened up a new idea for him.

Built near the dyke of Nanhe Government Secretary Nanhe Mansion, it can be said that the Zhao Mansion’s influence is most deeply rooted in the area...

"The girl has the final say."

……

Day two.

"Master, this is the discount you requested for your application."

"Do you need to give up on applying for the Grain Chief? Wait! Do you have to apply for the Grain Chief of Runing Mansion yourself?"

"Yes, news came from the post, and even the best ones need to be selected."

As arranged yesterday, Empress Ma set off on her way to the Imperial Palace, while Emperor Zhu Chongba continued to stay in Runing Mansion. He wanted to personally investigate the selection of Nanhe Grain Chief.

However, after arriving outside the yamen and Erhu reported carefully, he was a little confused.

Could it be that the uneasiness last night was due to today's incident?

He has seen the enthusiasm of the people towards the matter of grain chief, but they are so enthusiastic that they can close all the gaps without having to go to the government.

No matter how he looked at it, he could tell there was something wrong.

He could feel that there must be some manipulation by the Zhao family.
