Chapter 187: Prince Ning's Mansion
After a moment, the woman in white had already run to Zhou Heng's car and glanced at the Huichun Hall bronze medal hanging on the car. The woman solemnly knelt down.
"Qiu Niang has not yet asked the noble person's name, and she was very frightened after she had no way to repay her kindness."
Zhou Heng handed the jade pendant and the handkerchief to Boss Xue and signaled him to return the things to the woman.
Although Boss Xue was a little reluctant, he took it and jumped out of the car and handed the thing to the woman who claimed to be Qiu Niang.
Zhou Heng said to the car window:
"You can hold the things, no need to thank them. The doctor is kind-hearted, but he can't stand someone down and cannot be cured. I hope you don't have any other thoughts, so you don't have to keep your name. Brother Xue sets off."
Qiu Niang didn't say anything more, holding a handkerchief in her hand and knelt on the ground. Boss Xue raised her whip and shouted in front:
“Depart!”
Then the carriage in front slowly drove, Zhou Heng lowered the curtains of the car window, and the light of his eyes saw the thin figure prayingly and bowed three times and nine times.
Close your eyes, lean against the wall of the car, and recalling the whole process, maybe I was a little unkind, but the appearance of Qiu Niang was so coincidental that it inevitably made people doubt the motive.
Zhu Yunmo and Liu Renli, one was ordered to take office, and the other was ordered to return to Beijing, and they were just idle people.
If you have some erotic encounters along the way, it is not only a topic of conversation between high-ranking officials and nobles after dinner, but may be a stain. If such a thing can be eliminated, it must be eliminated.
He shook his head, hugged Liu Xiu'er's hand stove, wrapped the fox hair cloak on his body, and gradually fell asleep in the sway of the carriage.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhou Heng slept several nights in a daze, and a shout woke him up.
"Well!"
Then the carriage swayed and stopped.
Zhou Heng lifted the curtains on the window and saw that it was already dark outside the window. More than a dozen lanterns were swaying constantly. A huge red painted door appeared in front of him. The three gold-toned wooden signs on the Ning Wangfu above were particularly conspicuous.
Zhou Heng quickly threw down the already cold hand stove and tidied up his clothes and hair. At this moment, the car door opened.
"We'll get off the bus."
Zhou Heng got out of the car slowly and saw Zhu Yunmo and Pang Xiao on the steps. Zhou Heng walked over quickly and bowed to Zhu Yunmo with his fists.
"Criminal, why don't we go to the inn to rest. There are too many people in Huichuntang and Lingshan Village, which may disturb the purity of the Ning Prince's Mansion."
Zhu Yunmo looked up and down at him, rolled his eyes indecently, then leaned closer to Zhou Heng's ear and whispered:
"Are you afraid of meeting my sister-in-law?"
Zhou Heng paused, looked at Zhu Yunmo, and grinned.
"The prince is wise and Zhou Heng is timid and afraid of trouble. When he comes to the capital, he will not cause trouble."
Zhu Yunmo suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Heng's sleeve.
"Stop coming, why didn't you say it before? It's too late now. The carriages and horses in Tongzhou are prepared by the royal palace. Uncle the emperor issued an imperial edict. She dared to show me a look. This is the matter. I wish she could do something! Let's go back to the house with me. All your medicines have been sent to the East Courtyard. Don't worry, someone will be specially guarding them."
As for this, how could Zhou Heng refuse? Mei Yuan has not eaten and drunk with Zhu Yunmo, but this time she brought thirty or forty more mouthfuls.
When he turned around and saw Liu Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao, Zhou Heng asked Boss Xue in a low voice.
"Where is Xiu'er and Miss Su Wu?"
"They just went directly to General Su's mansion and brought Dong'er and Sheng'er. The two young men liked to follow Chuntao and said they would come back tomorrow."
Zhou Heng nodded. There were all men here. Even with Aunt Zhang and a few women, Xiu'er and Chuntao still felt restrained. It would be nice to go to General Su's mansion.
Everyone was about to enter, and the manager in the palace had long been kneeling at the door waiting for Zhu Yunmo.
When I saw someone coming in, I quickly greeted him with a smile that looked like a father.
"Welcome the prince back"
Zhu Yunmo just nodded and raised his foot to kick the person blocking him away.
"Get out of here, where is Zhu Sanfu dead? Get out of here."
Butler Zhu from Meiyuan arrived at the royal palace one early, just to arrange Zhu Yunmo's food and accommodation in advance, and ran over quickly from behind the crowd.
"Criminal, I am here."
"Hurry to arrange accommodation for everyone. They are all hungry all the way. Let the kitchen arrange food and rest early. We have something to do tomorrow. Will the East Courtyard be vacated?"
Zhu Sanfu quickly bowed, "The East Courtyard has already vacated, and the charcoal fires in each room are warm, just waiting for the prince to come back. As for Mr. Zhou, I have arranged the Luyuan next to you, so you can go with me?"
Zhu Yunmo didn't say anything, walked straight forward. Zhou Heng just followed him and turned around and looked at Boss Xue. Boss Xue instantly understood what it meant and said to Qu Ziping:
"Calculate things and I will accompany the young master to rest."
Qu Ziping and the others were originally very nervous, but seeing the prince's attitude towards Zhou Heng, each of them lost his initial restraint, and he nodded with a smile.
Walking along the corridor towards the courtyard behind, Zhou Heng kept looking around. Although it was already night, the entire palace was still brightly lit, especially the snow on both sides of the corridor was cleaned.
After walking around for a few times, he finally arrived in front of Zhu Yunmo's yard. Zhou Heng quickly stopped.
"Criminal, it's getting late, and the journey is exhausted, so we'd better take a break soon. We still have something to do tomorrow."
Zhu Yunmo grabbed Zhou Heng's arm and said, "Let's go, have a meal first and talk about other things. At this moment, we are the ones in Ning Prince's Mansion, and no one else is there."
Zhou Heng was stunned and looked up at Pang Xiao. Seeing him looking at him with a smile, he obviously knew about this for a long time. Zhou Heng did not worry anymore and followed Zhu Yunmo into the room.
The wine and food were ready, and the room was indeed very warm. Four silver charcoal basins were placed in the room with charcoal cages. Zhu Yunmo took off the cloak and threw it to Pang Xiao, and Zhou Heng also removed the cloak outside.
After pursuing his hands, Zhou Heng did not rush to enter the table, but stood in front of a charcoal cage beside the window and pondered slightly. Pang Xiao handed Zhou Heng a cup of tea.
Boss Xue stood behind him, and he didn't have a outer robe, just wearing a cotton robe with the characteristics of Huichuntang. At this moment, he had more than one duty.
"It seems that Uncle Xiao has known about the matter in Beijing for a long time? By the way, where are Meng Xiaoyou and his son and the imperial doctor now?"
Pang Xiao said with a smile on his face:
"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to Beijing on my way back and handed a note to Lord Zhang. Now the two of them have been escorted to Dali Temple and imprisoned. As for the imperial doctor, they are temporarily locked in the Ningwang Mansion. The imperial doctor should still see Lord Zhang Fuling as soon as possible before making plans."
Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and Pang Xiao continued:
"Although that man did not take action against Meiyuan again, she should know what happened in Qingping County, and the emperor's oral orders were not a secret. Besides, Zhu Sanfu had long been sent back to clean up the yard. She took advantage of the reason why her grandmother was seriously ill and took her son to serve."
Zhou Heng nodded. The water here is too deep, and it may be a thousand-foot-sized abyss, so you should be more cautious.
"What are you talking about? I'm so hungry when I eat."
As soon as this said, everyone hurriedly sat in. Zhu Sanfu was next to Zhu Yunmo. After eating two bites, Zhu Yunmo picked up a dish of miscellaneous items and spit out a piece of meat from his mouth.
"Is this for people to eat?"
Zhou Heng was originally very hungry, but when he heard this, he lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhu Yunmo with a resentful look on his face. Before he could speak, Zhu Sanfu had already bowed down.
"The prince calms down. The chefs here are all the original ones. The taste may not be as good as your wishes. How about I replace someone tomorrow morning?"
Zhu Yunmo waved his hand, "Don't change them all? It makes me think too much and don't understand human feelings. Just prepare two cooks for me alone. Oh, Mr. Xiao, please let me prepare hot pot! This thing is really a waste of food, remove it."
The next morning, Zhou Heng finished washing up, and as soon as he came out, he saw Qu Ziping and Desheng standing in the yard, as if talking about something.
Zhou Heng hurried forward, "How did you sleep last night?"
Several of them bowed to Zhou Heng, with a satisfied smile on their faces.
"I have my feet stuck in the land, and I sleep well. The house is very warm. Master, don't worry, what are we going to do today?"
Zhou Heng waved his hand, "You guys have some rest today. I will go to see the shop with Bo Xiao later. They have rebuilt the shop according to our drawings. I don't know how it is going."
When they heard this, their eyes shone, surrounding Zhou Hengyi's face with a pleading look.
"Master, take us there. We also want to see what Huichun Hall in the capital looks like."
Boss Xue glared at him, "What do you want to take a break? Let's have a good rest, so you will be busy later."
Zhou Heng looked at everyone and said with a smile:
"Brother Xue is right. Some of them are busy after that. You all go and have a good rest. Qu Ziping, come here and I will give you my own instructions if you have something to do."
Qu Ziping hurried over and Zhou Heng said in a low voice:
"Change in a dress and go to the major medical clinics and pharmacies in Beijing for a walk. I want to know the general price of their drugs. Which one can open an injury department? Can it be done?"
Qu Ziping nodded with excitement on his face.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm good at this. I'll change my outfit later and then dress up. No one can tell who I am."
Zhou Heng nodded. Qu Ziping was very agile and could only leave this matter to him.
"Remember, don't show your Shandong accent. Isn't all the Beijing accents I taught you before? I'll just talk like this in the future. Go."
All these people left. Zhou Heng put his hands behind his back and sorted out the cloak on his body to see Boss Xue.
