After rebirth, the concubine counterattacked and became a royal concubine

Zhang Zeyu looked at his grandfather in shock. Although he knew that His Majesty always trusted his grandfather, he never thought that it was because of this reason.

After all, if someone else with ulterior motives knew this secret and used this secret passage to enter the palace, then the Zhang family would be completely responsible for their death.

"Your Majesty, isn't he afraid..."

"No, never."

Zhang Zeyu's words were rejected by Zhang Hengqing before he finished speaking.

Bai Zhaoyi also looked at their grandfather and grandson with some surprise, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Although her intuition told her that there must be some unknown reasons, she didn't say anything because it was a family matter of the Zhang family.

Zhang Zeyu was stunned for a moment and then fell silent as if he understood something.

"Prince Qi will definitely come to the mansion tomorrow at the latest, and we don't have much time left."

Bai Zhaoyi's index finger tapped the table unconsciously. Although he was a little anxious in his heart, it didn't show on his face.

As the chief minister of a dynasty, Zhang Hengqing's influence in the court is naturally self-evident.

If the King of Qi could get his support, it would be equivalent to subduing half of the courtiers.

In addition, the fifth prince is now in the Zhang Mansion, so it will be difficult to hide this matter as long as King Qi wants to investigate.

So he will definitely come no matter what.

Zhang Hengqing also understands this truth.

Zhang Zeyu also put away his usual romantic and wanton look, and said with rare seriousness in his eyes:

"I originally wanted to send a message to Jiang Que, but now King Qi's people are guarding there. He will kill even a mosquito to take a look, so I haven't been able to send the message out. People outside should not know that the capital is now Things have changed.”

King Wencheng and his wife had already left long ago.

Today's capital city is truly isolated and helpless.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bai Zhaoyi's mouth, and he had some plans in his heart:

"Don't worry about this. I have always exchanged letters with him. If he doesn't receive the letter from me on time, he will naturally know that something has happened in the capital. The difficult thing is how we can survive these days."

The King of Qi is sinister and at the same time as suspicious as Emperor Jing. When he comes to the mansion tomorrow, he will definitely use hard and soft tactics to force Zhang Hengqing to stand up for him.

If Zhang Hengqing refused, there's no telling what that lunatic would do.

Although it wouldn't directly kill him, it certainly wouldn't let him just stand around and watch comfortably.

Bai Zhaoyi touched the phoenix jade bracelet on her wrist and suddenly remembered that she was only talking to them, but forgot that the eldest princess and the others were still hiding in the ancestral hall.

Zhang Hengqing heard that the eldest princess had not had a drop of water in the ancestral hall all afternoon, so he quickly sent someone to clean up a room and asked the eldest princess to have a good rest first, and then sent someone to deliver a table of food.

Then he glared at Bai Zhaoyi pretending to be sad, as he could forget such important things.

If Zhang Hengqing found out that Bai Zhaoyi was passing on something as important as the national jade seal and buried it somewhere casually, he might not be able to spit out a mouthful of old blood immediately.

That’s a jade seal! !

The King of Qi has always dreamed of finding the imperial seal! !

Bai Zhaoyi smiled guiltily, then coughed lightly and decided not to tell Zhang Hengqing about this for the time being.

After all, one less person who knows means one less risk.

That thing was too important. It could be said that Emperor Jing gave it to him at the risk of his life. She had to be more careful.

Several people discussed in the study room for a long time. Seeing that the fatigue on Bai Zhao's face could no longer be concealed, Zhang Zeyu stopped in time.

joke!If Jiang Que saw Bai Zhaoyi looking so tired, he might have dragged him to admire the moon again in the middle of the night.

He didn't want to watch the moon together with a man who exuded a sense of stupidity.

If he wanted to admire the moon, he would go with Aning, and he had nothing to do with Jiang Que, a brat like him.

Zhang Zeyu shook his head, now is not the time to think about these things.

Bai Zhaoyi didn't sleep well that night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the last look Emperor Jing gave her and the current crisis in the capital.

On the second day, everyone sat in the front hall early, discussing the next countermeasures.

The fifth prince didn't recognize Bai Zhaoyi and the eldest princess when he saw them. His eyes looked back and forth at the two of them curiously, but he was very understanding and didn't ask any questions.

It can be seen that the concubines educated him very well.

Just at this moment, the steward hurriedly walked in. Seeing Princess Jing'an and the eldest princess here, he slowed down his pace, saluted everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Master, His Royal Highness Prince Qi is here."

The tea cup in Zhang Hengqing's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea slid down the wall of the cup.

King Qi was afraid that he had not slept all night, so he immediately brought people to his house at dawn.

Bai Zhaoyi and the eldest princess looked at each other, nodded towards Zhang Hengqing, got up and walked towards the backyard.

The safest place now is that ancestral hall.

Zhang Zeyu received his grandfather's eyes, took the fifth prince's hand and walked outside.

Although the fifth prince was young, he was extremely smart. He followed Zhang Zeyu obediently and smiled at him with his clear eyes.

He knew they would not harm him.

The eldest brother's return to the capital so suddenly must be full of bad feelings. Father said that the eldest brother is not a...

Isn't it a lamp?

The fifth prince frowned in confusion, suddenly forgetting how his father described it.

It probably means that he should stay away from the eldest brother, he is not a good lamp.

That's what it should mean, right?

So all he can do now is not to cause trouble for others.

The concubines said that he is just a child now and will understand when he grows up.

"Please come in, King Qi."

Zhang Hengqing coughed lightly to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and gave instructions to the steward with a calm expression.

"Zhang Shoufu, long time no see. How are you lately?"

King Qi wore an exquisite white robe, and the breeze blew the corners of his clothes. He flapped a folding fan in his hand from time to time, and walked in with a smile on his face.

If you ignore his stern eyebrows and the flash of calculation in his eyes, he is actually a handsome young man.

It's a pity that the temperament on her body abruptly destroys this beauty, making it look very inconsistent.

Zhang Hengqing bowed to him respectfully, lowered his head and said in a calm voice:

"Your Highness, I am thinking about you. Everything is fine with me."

King Qi sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, straightened his robes and looked around without leaving a trace.

The tea cups and utensils that Bai Zhaoyi and the others had just used had already been cleaned up and taken away by the servants, so he didn't notice anything.
