The most important thing was that the eunuch next to Zong Hongjiu was bought by him at a high price, the incident was urgent, and the palace attendants were changed now, meaning no news would be leaked.
In other words, Zong Hongjiu was probably anxious now, like an ant on a hot pot, trying hard to contact Zong Chengsi, a friendly force, to figure out what happened.
Only when he really needed him could he dig out what secrets Zong Hongjiu was hiding.
However, making such a big noise was also unexpected by Zong Chengsi.
He originally planned to expose Zong Hongjiu without a trace, and then fan the flames inside, and finally coax. He didn’t expect Emperor Yuan to show great importance to this matter now.
The only thing to be thankful for was that he had always been cautious in doing things, not leaving any leverage.
At the beginning, Zong Chengsi was still worried about what Yu Beizhou had found in the imperial prison, but since he was fine now, that meant the tail left behind had been cleaned up, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, it was impossible for Zong Chengsi to deliver messages to Zong Hongjiu now.
Fish for a few more days, when there is nowhere to go, people will tell the truth.
Thinking about this, Zong Chengsi happily put away the fan and turned around to leave.
Just halfway through, he suddenly saw another person watching from the side.
Zong Chengsi squinted his eyes.
On weekdays, he didn’t know much about this Eighth Imperial Brother, he only knew that he lived in the cold palace, was not valued, and happened to be born stupid. But now it seemed like…….
He looked at Zong Ruichen, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The case of the Rong family’s rebellion involved a lot, and Zong Chengsi was just in his teens at that time, he also only watched the scene of the imperial city being in turmoil.
Who could have thought that before this, the Rong family was one of the most prestigious families in the imperial city, and many families in the same country maintained friendly marriage relations, such as the Bai family in Yu Country and the Yu family in Wei Country.
But when something really happened, these families not only didn’t help, but also drew clear boundaries, which was interestingly firm.
If the Rong family didn’t have an accident, Zong Ruichen would be the most likely prince to become the crown prince. Judging from his age, it seemed to be about the same.
“Isn’t this the Eighth Imperial Brother?”
Zong Chengsi put on a friendly smile on his face.
Zong Ruichen was intently watching Zong Hongjiu’s misfortune, not to mention how happy he was. When he heard the voice, he was startled and immediately retreated cautiously.
He only knew that the person in front of him was the Fourth Prince. He hadn’t spoken to him much since he was a child. Only once when Father Emperor’s birthday was celebrated, he secretly stuffed something into his arms and was seen by Zong Chengsi. The latter was stunned for a moment, but did not expose him. As for the rest, he knew nothing at all.
“Eighth Imperial Brother, don’t be so nervous, I’m just saying hello.”
Heaven and earth could testify, this time Zong Chengsi felt very innocent.
Before the Sixth and Fifth loses power, he and Zong Luo should have a friendly cooperative relationship.
Thinking about this, Zong Chengsi deliberately said, “Ah, the Ninth Imperial Brother is so young, but he has such a vicious heart, he really deserves it. I heard that the Eighth Imperial Brother has been living in the Third Imperial Brother’s mansion recently, and that the Imperial brother has been ill recently. Be sure to say hello to the Imperial Brother for me. This Prince will definitely go to find the elixir and medicinal herbs as soon as possible. If there is a finished product, it will definitely be sent to the Imperial Brother as soon as possible.”
However, Zong Ruichen did not answer him. After looking at him, he quickly turned his head and ran away.
It’s not because of anything else, but because he was still pretending to be stupid on the surface. If he rashly opened his mouth and answered fluently, it would be a self-invitation, and might probably cause trouble for the Third Brother.
But while cursing Zong Hongjiu, saying that he was still looking for medicine for the Third Imperial Brother, the Fourth Imperial Brother should be a good person.
Zong Ruichen, who rarely accepted the kindness of others, thought so, and made up his mind to wait until he saw the Third Imperial Brother, and then relay the words of the Fourth Imperial Brother.
On the other side, Zong Luo did not return to the Imperial Medical Courtyard, but went directly to Yuchun Palace with Yuan Jia.
This majestic palace was the residence of the crown princes of the Great Yuan in all ages. It had a majestic atmosphere and everything was built according to a small-scale palace cluster. It was like a miniature palace. After ascending to the throne, the established cabinet could directly take charge.
However, due to the tradition of the Zong family’s seizure of the throne, there were really not many princes who actually moved in. Most of them went from being a prince to being the emperor, and there was rarely a transition zone in the middle.
But no one lived in it, and the annual maintenance would definitely not be less. Plus, a few days ago, Feng Chang submitted a memorial, saying that the Witch Ceremony was temporarily scheduled for the midsummer of the next year, it was only half a year left. So it was cleared in advance.
Zong Luo stood in front of the palace, listening to Yuan Jia read a long list.
“Third Highness, do you see anything else to add here?”
Listening to Yuan Jia’s reminder that the palace ban time was Haishi, and also tactfully reminded Zong Luo that when hearing that he went to Hualiu Street with the Fourth Prince last time, it made Emperor Yuan extremely unexpected. It was said that he even wanted to catch him into the palace that night, Zong Luo hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no.”
Thinking of being caught by the emperor for staying up late, and even in a place like Hualiu Street, he was extremely embarrassed.
After sending away Yuan Jia, Zong Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and looked at the palace that he had never been qualified to set foot in his previous life, and clenched the immortal pill box under his sleeve.
