Glory to the ancestors

Chu Xi straightened up and waited for Rong Zhen to go upstairs, still clutching his sleeves uneasily, he blamed himself in his heart, for fear of seeing any irritability on Rong Zhen's face.

But Rong Zhen didn't respond, and smiled when he saw Chu Xi, "How did you sleep?"

"Ah," Chu Xi didn't know how to answer for a while, so he shook his head.

"In the future, I should also pay more attention to the time when I come to see you." Rong Zhen brushed past Chu Xi and sat down on the chair, "Always let you cheer up."

Chu Xi hurriedly said, "It's okay, I have time anytime."

Rong Zhen said again, "Is there any clue about what I asked you to check last time?"

"I have some." Chu Xi took out a letter from the drawer, and the words "Cheng Duyun" were written on the envelope, "Have you heard of this man, my lord?"

Chu Xi put the letter in front of Rong Zhen, "It's a Jinshi from last year."

Rong Zhen squinted his eyes, picked up the letter with two fingers, quickly opened the envelope, and shook the letter with Cheng Duyun's information, "Is this still a great talent?"

"Yes," Chu Xi nodded, "Although he is only a Jinshi, he was called into the palace to wash pens."

"I have a little impression of this, but the emperor seemed to like to write poems at that time, and several of them were transferred to the imperial court." Rong Zhen nodded, "But he has no background, and the queen mother and I didn't care about it."

"Yes, just looking at his background is very simple, but the father-in-law often goes to and from the palace, but have you ever seen such a person beside the emperor?"

Rong Zhen blinked, thought for a while, and shook his head.

"It's not wrong, not only the father-in-law has never seen him, but our spies in the palace haven't seen him a few times."

"What does this mean?" Rong Zhen looked at Chu Xi, "You mean he became an official but didn't walk in the palace?"

"It's not just that," Chu Xi continued, "Although I haven't seen him often in the palace, there are quite a few people who have seen him in various flower streets and willow lanes in the capital."

"Ok?"

This is interesting.

Rong Zhen looked up at Chu Xi, "You mean he is the Emperor's spies scattered outside?"

"I guess it's not just that," Chu Xi pointed to a paragraph in the letter, "He seems to have known the emperor a long time ago. I've read his articles. With that kind of talent, he is definitely not someone who can be ranked as a Jinshi," he said. He continued, "In other words, it is very possible that the imperial examination was entirely the emperor's plan to call him into the palace."

Rong Zhen took a long breath, "The emperor is really big, he can even think of such a strategy."

"Yes, and this happened right under the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and she didn't let it out at all."

"Then how do you know?" Rong Zhen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xi.

Chu Xi nodded slightly, "Unfortunately, this Mr. Cheng is my regular customer. He is still young, and he is willing to show off in front of others. I have been careful."

"You are careful." Rong Zhen leaned on the back of the chair, put his elbows on the armrest and interlocked his fingers, "but the matter between him and the emperor is very important, I guess he will not reveal it."

"Why don't you let me try," Chu Xi said softly, "He often comes to me to listen to the piano, I think I should be able to hear a little."

"That's not bad," Rong Zhen curled his lips, "You are the best at dealing with these arty young masters."

Chu Xi didn't know why when he heard this, the look in his eyes suddenly dimmed, "What the Lord said is true, I have my own way."

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to the southern border on the fifteenth day of this month," Rong Zhen remembered, "you need to keep an eye on things in the capital, work harder, and I will help you find them when I go to the southern border this time." A method that can cure the strange poison on your body."

"Grandpa, do you still remember this?" Chu Xi laughed again because of these words.

"Naturally," Rong Zhen seemed to take it for granted, "I promised you."

Chu Xi pursed her lips, "Then I'll trouble my father-in-law. As for Mr. Cheng's matter, I will help my father-in-law to find out."

"Well," Rong Zhen stood up, "I also wasted a lot of time with you, so I will go back first."

"Okay, shall I see you off?"

"No need." Rong Zhen smiled lightly, pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as Rong Zhen's back disappeared, Chu Xi seemed to have let out his last breath, lying powerlessly on the table, his fingertips gently rubbed the surface of the envelope that Rong Zhen had just opened, like It seems that Rongzhen's temperature can be found from above.

Rong Zhen was walking on the street, thinking about what happened just now, with that piece of paper alone, he really couldn't understand Cheng Duyun clearly, but the little emperor's strategy these days is really not simple, including finding out about the Rong family , dared to win over himself, and wanted to gain control of the Imperial Army with the power of King Pingnan...

It would be great if Chuxi could really pry Cheng Duyun's mouth open.

Rong Zhen was startled suddenly, how could Chuxi get the information?

The boy stood beside Chu Xi, waiting for his pen and ink, "My lord, what are you writing?"

Chu Xi didn't talk about the content, but said, "When I finish writing, you give this to Mr. Cheng who came to listen to me playing the piano last time, and tell him tomorrow night..."

"Stop calling." Rong Zhen pushed Chuxi's door open at once, panting.

Both Xiaosi and Chu Xi were startled. Chu Xi raised his head and signaled Xiaosi to go out.

The servant quickly backed out, and when he closed the door, Chu Xi asked Rong Zhen, "Grandpa, why are you back again?"

"Tell me, what is your plan, how did you get the news from Cheng Duyun?" Rong Zhen stared at Chu Xi, very angry, "Didn't I tell you that you can't do that kind of thing again?"

Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "Grandpa, I don't... have no plans to..."

"Do you think that the reason I spent so much money for you and finding medicine for you is to let you spoil yourself like this?"

Chu Xi was at a loss, shaking his head no, nodding no, he had never seen Rong Zhen like this before, "Grandpa..."

Rong Zhen walked up to him and rolled up the piece of paper he was writing on, "Don't pick up guests from now on, don't even have to tell them anything, if I ask you to do these things, you're just hanging around by my side for nothing." gone."

"Well," Chu Xi was a little flustered, so he could only answer vaguely.

Rong Zhen also felt that his attitude seemed a little strange, so he took a deep breath and took it easy, "I don't want you to ruin yourself because of me."

"I understand," Chu Xi silently clenched her hands tightly under the table.

"Just as long as you understand what I mean."

This time Chuxi specially sent Rong Zhen out. He understood that Rong Zhen was too afraid of losing him. No matter whether he regarded himself as a friend or even just a pet, it was enough for him to value him so much.

Chu Xi returned to the table with a smile, spread out a piece of paper, and continued writing.
