Zhao Xu had a lazy day in Yonghou Mausoleum. On this day, he did not think about government affairs or the beauties in his harem. Instead, he took people hunting around the imperial mausoleum and had barbecue with the soldiers in the evening.

Ning Fu carefully coated a pheasant with seasonings, wrapped it in lotus leaves and yellow mud, and then placed it in the fire for roasting.

Ning Fu didn't catch a single prey today, and Zhao Xu wasn't any better than him. In the end, the hunting soldiers drove the prey in front of Zhao Xu, and then he shot a rabbit to death with his eyes closed.

In contrast, the eunuch Tong Guan was much better than them. He shot dozens of pheasants and rabbits by himself, and even shot a wild boar to death, which was now roasting on the fire.

At this moment, Tong Guan suddenly approached Ning Fu and asked in a low voice: "Dr. Ning, where did the injury on your majesty's hand come from?"

Ning Fu glanced at Tong Guan and asked with a half-smile, "Tong Douzhi really wants to know?"

Tong Guan was well-known to everyone in the inner province, and was the closest eunuch to Zhao Xu.

"I don't want to know, but I found a bloody fist mark on the Queen Mother's tombstone, as if she was punched, so..."

Tong Guan was also staring at Ning Fu while he was talking, as if he wanted to test his reaction.

"Since we all know that we have already guessed it, why bother asking if the blood fist mark can be disposed of by others?"

Ning Fu asked back with a calm expression.

Zhao Xu had an injury on his hand. He was probably too excited when he scolded Empress Dowager Gao last night and punched the tombstone. If this incident was spread, it would be enough to accuse Zhao Xu'an of disobedience.

You must know that disobedience is a serious crime. Gao Qiu was exiled from the capital because of a fight with his father.

Although the emperor will not be exiled, it will cause a huge blow to his reputation.

"The blood stains soaked into the stone and cannot be wiped clean. The slave rubbed the stone away with her own hands."

Tong Guan couldn't figure out the depth of Ning Fu, so he had to answer honestly.

"Very good, you know about this, I know about it, and the officials know about it. If a fourth person knows about it, hey!"

Ning Fu said and patted Tong Guan on the shoulder.

Tong Guan was so frightened that his whole body trembled. If this spread, he and Ning Fu would definitely be connected, so in a sense, he and Ning Fu became a grasshopper on a rope.

"I know this. Even if this matter gets to my stomach, I will never tell anyone!"

Tong Guan immediately assured him.

"Tong Duzhi is indeed a smart man. Ning will also rely on Duzhi's care in the future!"

Ning Fu laughed, and suddenly felt the urge to meet the other person, and gave him a few words of criticism.

But then I thought about it, Tong Guan was already a eunuch. If such a person really transformed into a dragon, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xu led his people to leave the imperial mausoleum.

On the way, Zhao Xu did not ride in a car, but mounted a horse and walked slowly. Ning Fu also followed him on horseback.

"It feels so good. In the past two nights, I can't control my impulse towards women like before."

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, then smiled at Ning Fu.

"The environment has a great influence on people. The official family is separated from the environment of the harem, so it is easier to calm down. When they return to the palace, it will be a big challenge for the official family!"

Ning Fu also answered with a smile.

"It still feels different. Going out of the palace this time makes me feel like I've been reborn. Even if I return to the palace, I won't be as ridiculous as before!"

Zhao Xu paused for a moment before saying this, and then said again.

"In addition, I have also thought through many things. After I return to the palace and finish these things, my thoughts will be clearer!"

"Many things?"

Ning Fu was also very curious after hearing this, but since Zhao Xu didn't tell him, it was hard for him to ask further questions.

"By the way, after the official returns home, in addition to abstaining from sexual intercourse, it is also best to do some exercises, which will help the official's physical recovery."

Ning Fu reminded again.

"Exercise? What kind of exercise do you think is best for me? Horse riding? Archery?"

Zhao Xu asked Ning Fu for his opinion even on such trivial matters, which shows how deeply he trusts Ning Fu now.

"Horse riding and archery are too strenuous. Guan Jia's body has just begun to recover. It's best to do some soothing exercises."

Ning Fu thought for a moment after saying this.

"Well, I'll think about it carefully when I get back and find some fun and physical exercises for the officials."

"That's great, what you come up with must be interesting!"

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this.

After a day of traveling, Ning Fu and his party finally returned to the capital in the evening.

The news of Zhao Xu's return also relieved Zhang Dun and others, and then a group of ministers entered the palace to ask for an audience.

"Why did the official leave the palace suddenly without any preparation in advance? What if something unexpected happens?"

Zeng Bu was the first to stand up and question Zhao Xu.

"Ahem, I dreamed of the Empress Dowager that night, and on a whim, I went to Yonghouling Mausoleum to pay my respects. Do you, dear ones, want to stop me from fulfilling my filial piety?"

Facing the questioning of the officials, Zhao Xu silenced everyone with a single word.

The Song Dynasty advocated filial piety, and the emperor naturally had to take responsibility, so when he went to worship his elders, no one could say that he had done something wrong.

However, although Zhang Dun and others' mouths were blocked, they didn't believe it at all. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao were in close conflict, so how could they suddenly think of paying homage to her?

"The filial piety of an official is commendable, but the official's body is at stake in the safety of the world, so he must be cautious when leaving the palace!"

Zhang Dun also stood up at this time to persuade.

"I know, I'm a little impatient this time, I won't do it again!"

Zhao Xu nodded and admitted his mistake and said, Zhang Dun's face must still be given.

"The official family, I want to participate in the performance of Ning Fu, the doctor of Taixue!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cai Jing suddenly stood up and said with a righteous look.

"Didn't I say that it was my idea to go to Yonghouling? I took Ning Fu there. Why are you playing with him?"

Zhao Xu asked rather displeasedly.

Ning Fu helped him a lot, and Zhao Xu didn't know how to thank him. But Cai Jing actually wanted to play Ning Fu, and Zhao Xu almost fell out on the spot.

"It is reported to the official family that I am participating in the performance of Ning Fu not because of this incident, but because I want to participate in the performance of his official weapon for private use!"

Cai Jing took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the front man very solemnly.

"What public utensils are for private use?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then asked Tong Guan to take the memorial.

Zhao Xu took the memorial and opened it, and then read the contents above. As a result, his brows furrowed more and more as he read.

Zhang Dun below also glared at Cai Jing at this time. He had known about this before, but Cai Jing's reasons were very sufficient, and even he couldn't stop him.

"Where's Ning Fu?"

After Zhao Xu read the memorial, he immediately asked Tong Guan.

"Dr. Ning just left!"

Tong Guan immediately replied in a low voice, Ning Fu didn't have time to say hello to his family when he left, so after Zhao Xu returned to the palace safely, he said goodbye and went home as soon as possible.

"Send someone to summon Ning Fu to enter the palace immediately!"

Zhao Xu immediately ordered.

Tong Guan agreed and immediately sent people to chase Ning Fu.

At this time, Ning Fu had just left the imperial city, but before he could take a few steps, he was chased back by the palace servants.

Ning Fu came to Chui Gong Hall confused, and was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Dun, Cai Jing and others there.

"I would rather see my emperor again!"

Ning Fu stepped forward and saluted.

"Ning Fu, someone used your public weapon for personal use, can you plead guilty?"

Zhao Xu asked with a solemn expression.

"What public weapon is for private use? Why can't I understand?"

Ning Fu couldn't understand what Zhao Xu meant at all?

"Ning Fu! I have brought witnesses and stories, but you still dare to pretend to be confused!"

Cai Jing suddenly stood up and reprimanded.

"What kind of personal evidence and physical evidence do you think the official really doesn't understand what Cai Fuyin is talking about?"

Ning Fu frowned and immediately retorted without any sign of weakness.

"Ning Fu, do you really not know about the weapons supervisor?"

Zhao Xu asked again at this time. He still believed in Ning Fu, but Cai Jing's words were unequivocal, so he could only ask clearly.
