Chapter 1209 Zhao Zheng, who met his parents(1/2)
After leaving Zhao Kuo, Zhao Zheng quickly set off directly in a carriage.
"Do you know where the Queen of Qin was under house arrest?
Take me there.”
During the whole process, Zhao Zheng only said this to the coachman.
The carriage started, and Zhao Zheng sat down gently while driving, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a clay statue.
After a long time, the carriage stopped, and the coachman outside the carriage spoke, "Your Highness, we have arrived."
Zhao Zheng nodded and suddenly spoke to the coachman and said, "Is anyone following us?"
Being a coachman like Zhao Zheng is not something that ordinary people can take on. They need to be capable.
After hearing Zhao Zheng’s inquiry, the coachman was obviously stunned for a moment, and then spoke with great certainty: “Please rest assured, your highness, absolutely not.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became a little calmer. Then he did not continue to say anything, but just asked the coachman to stay in the local area and walked towards the mansion that looked pretty good in front of him.
This is a very grand mansion, located on a quiet street. In fact, few people come here on this street, because everyone knows that this is where the Seven Kingdoms royal families live.
However, as the prince, Zhao Zheng was of course able to enter these places where ordinary people would not come or dared to come.
He walked to the mansion, took out the token from his arms, shook the face of the guards in the mansion, and then the guards immediately opened the door of the mansion.
Zhao Zheng walked into the mansion, and then a scent of flowers came towards him.
In this mansion, there are many blooming bright flowers that gather together to make the air full of fragrance.
Zhao Zheng clearly showed an unexpected expression on his face, but he did not stop, but continued to walk forward.
After walking through the flower bed for a while, the house behind them was exposed. There were some maids inside and outside the house. They were obviously stunned when they saw Zhao Zheng.
A few seconds later, a maid came up very respectfully and said to Zhao Zheng: "What is the most important thing to do when you come here?"
Zhao Zheng said calmly: "Where is the Queen of Qin, I want to see her."
Although he didn't know what was going on, he looked at Zhao Zheng's clothes and then when Zhao Zheng could enter here through the gate, he knew that Zhao Zheng must have a deep background, so she didn't dare to neglect and immediately led the way.
After a while, Zhao Zheng sat in the lobby, quietly waiting for the appearance of the hostess in the mansion.
It took almost an hour to wait. Even with Zhao Zheng's patience, his face began to become a little annoyed.
At this moment, a very charming voice suddenly came.
"How is that, did that noble emperor finally remember me as a woman?"
After this sentence, a woman who is already about 30 or 40 years old, but is still full of mature women's temperament, just like a peach, who can be picked at any time, just walked out like this.
This woman was obviously carefully dressed up, and both her makeup and clothes looked particularly exquisite, which can be said to be very memorable.
This may be why time has passed, an hour has come.
After seeing Zhao Zheng, the woman was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"I didn't expect that the Emperor actually sent such a young child over here. What's going on?
Are you afraid that other men will not be able to resist the temptation of this palace?"
Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and stood up, saluting the woman.
"Unfilial son Zhao Zheng, I have met his mother."
Needless to say, this woman is naturally Zhao Ji.
After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Ji was stunned.
She had never thought that this would happen. She stared at Zhao Zheng for a while, and suddenly she said tremblingly: "Are you Zheng'er?
The Zheng'er I lost in Handan 16 years ago?"
Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, the child has just learned the news recently, so he came to find his mother immediately."
Zhao Ji finally couldn't hold back the expression on her face, and directly hugged Zhao Zheng in her arms and burst into tears.
Although I haven't seen each other for 16 years, Zhao Zheng's appearance cannot deceive people. As long as someone with a scheming is careful, you can recognize him after a while.
After a long time, the mother and son gradually calmed down, sat down, and began to slowly talk about the 16-year experience.
Zhao Zheng didn't hide anything, so he picked some more critical things and briefly told Zhao Ji.
After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Ji was obviously very surprised.
"Have you actually been adopted by Zhao Kuo for 16 years?
Could it be that your disappearance was a conspiracy planned by Zhao Kuo himself?"
Facing Zhao Ji's questions, Zhao Zheng nodded and agreed.
After receiving Zhao Zheng's answer, Zhao Ji became obviously angry and couldn't help but scold Zhao Kuo.
"I didn't expect that Zhao Kuo, who claimed to be the emperor, did such a despicable and shameless thing!"
After cursing for a few words, Zhao Ji came to her senses and cared about Zhao Zheng’s specific problems.
"How did Zhao Kuo treat you over the years?
Did his children bully you?”
Regarding these questions about Zhao Ji, Zhao Zheng naturally answered truthfully, "Please don't worry, my mother. Over the years, Your Majesty has always regarded me as his own. The Queen and several other concubines have taken good care of me. The prince is very familiar with me. Now I am also the prince's companion."
Zhao Ji obviously didn't think of this answer. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything. As a 16-year-old boy, he didn't know what to say in such an occasion.
After a while, Zhao Ji suddenly spoke, "Since that's the case, can you bring Zhao Kuo to your mother's place?"
After saying this, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Zheng with a desperate look.
Zhao Zheng couldn't figure out what Zhao Ji was thinking, and couldn't help but say, "Does the mother want to reunite with her father?
If this is the case, I can tell Your Majesty, and I believe your Majesty will approve it."
After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing and said in a disdainful tone: "I shouldn't live with him that trash Ying Zichu. I was the one who offered to live separately from him back then. How could I go back now?"
Zhao Zheng obviously didn't expect that things would be like this and could not speak at once.
However, Zhao Ji seemed to be really relieved. He pulled Zhao Zheng to ask a lot of things about Zhao Kuo's various hobbies, such as what color Zhao Kuo likes, what food Zhao Kuo likes, what kind of women he likes, what kind of dressing women do in front of him, etc.
Although Zhao Zheng tried his best to answer, a ridiculous feeling began to surge in his heart as he spoke. He was not a fool, and he could realize that there was a purpose behind his mother's question.
After Zhao Ji interrogated Zhao Zheng for half an hour, she breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said to Zhao Zheng: "Child, you want to help the queen mother this time. Whether the queen mother can leave this cold palace, whether we mother and son can meet frequently in the future depends on you."
Zhao Zheng said with some confusion: "I wonder what the mother wants the child to do?"
Zhao Ji laughed and said to Zhao Zheng: "You only need to bring your adoptive father here, and it is enough to meet the queen of mother."
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Zhao Zheng fully understood.
Obviously, the so-called way to move out of this cold palace as Zhao Ji said was to live in the palace of the Han Kingdom and become the fourth woman of Zhao Kuo, the emperor of the Han Kingdom.
Zhao Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He just responded, then stood up and said, "The child has some things to do, so he won't stop at the mother's side. After the matter is over, the child will continue to visit the mother's side."
Zhao Ji nodded with a smile, and did not forget to remind Zhao Zheng: "If you remember the words of your mother, you must bring your adoptive father over here. Do you understand?"
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything else, just nodded and left.
When he left, Zhao Zheng felt a little joyful and a little disappointed.
It feels really good to see your biological mother again, but the problem is that this meeting is not as beautiful as Zhao Zheng imagined.
When he reached the gate, Zhao Zheng suddenly sighed and said to himself, what Zhao Kuo had said before.
"Maybe this is life."
When the guards at the gate saw Zhao Zheng coming out, they naturally opened the door respectfully. Zhao Zheng was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked the guards a word.
"How long have you been here to guard?"
One of the guards quickly replied: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, since the one inside moved in, we have been guarding here."
Zhao Zheng nodded and asked another question.
"Have Your Majesty been to this place in the past few years?"
The guard said almost without thinking: "Of course there is no such thing. How could His Majesty come here?"
After Zhao Zheng got this answer, his solemn expression seemed to ease a lot. He did not continue to say anything, but walked out of the door and got on the carriage.
The next stop of the carriage is the Qin Palace not far away.
Ying Zichu's mansion is actually very close to Zhao Ji's mansion, with only one of the mansions of the King of Qi in the middle.
Zhao Zheng walked down the gate and looked at the mansion in front of him. He originally wanted to go forward, but suddenly stopped again.
As an intern in the Intelligence Department, Zhao Zheng is actually quite familiar with Ying Zichu. After all, for a long time, Qin State has been the main work target of the Intelligence Department.
Zhao Zheng recalled the information about Ying Zichu's articles written by Mao Shui and even Lu Buwei himself, and remembered the words Zhao Ji said just now and the expressions when she mentioned Ying Zichu. He could not take this step at once.
Zhao Zheng stood there gently, staring at the Qin Prince's Mansion in front of him.
The guards of the Qin Prince's Mansion were naturally a little surprised to see Zhao Zheng's behavior, but they could also see that Zhao Zheng's clothes were not ordinary people, so as long as Zhao Zheng did not take the initiative to make trouble, they would not drive Zhao Zheng away.
