Volume 5 Chapter 10
Rong Hu arrived very fast. When he entered through the door, he said: "Chiu Lan was arrested outside the residence of the Empress Dowager and luckily your servant was there to intervene quickly. They are children and relatives of important people, who entered forbidden areas of the palace, for I don't want the problem to be bigger. Your server just wanted to say a few words verbally, but they don't know what is right or what is wrong, relying on the state and use of violence. "
Several purple bruises appeared on his beautiful face, and by surprise, Feng Ming asked, "What? You're not in charge of the guards? Do they also dare to touch you?"
Rong Hu shook his head: "Those young teachers just wanted to drag Chiu Lan and didn't dare to touch me. The person who took action was the young master Tong."
"So is that bastard Tong again?" Feng Ming stood up, walked into the room and then, curiously, asked: "Who is the person he leans on to dare to belittle others? Could he be the Empress Dowager?"
Chiu Lan wanted to answer but he didn't.
Suddenly, a voice from outside was heard: "The Empress Dowager arrived!"
All of them inside the room froze in place, once they saw a shadow of someone behind the thin curtain, Feng Ming woke up. He told Chiu Lan and Rong Hu to come back inside.
Just when he turned around, someone already raised the curtains, four or five maids dressed in flowers accompanied the temperature.
"Feng Ming greets the Queen mother."
The widow empress smiled kindly excused Feng Ming's ceremony: "I learned about the killer's incident a few days ago. His Majesty had ordered that Duke Ming not leave the Crown Prince's residence. I know that Duke Ming likes to walk, but it is A pity that he is being watched carefully now, so I came to visit him. How is your health? Have you been taking your medication as prescribed? "
Feng Ming was angry at this time, but due to these small questions of concern on the part of the Empress Dowager, he had to resist and answer: "My health is much better. The doctor said I could ride a horse and take the medications when necessary".
"You need to hear what the doctor recommends and take your medication on time."
Feng Ming bowed slightly: "I understand. I will listen to the teaching of the Empress Dowager." Feng Ming thought to himself: if the Empress Dowager had only come here to ask me about my well-being and remind me to take my medication, he gave her some secret looks.
Chiu Yue served the tea happily, the Empress Dowager took it, looked at Chiu Yue and turned to Feng Ming to ask: "The maid Duke Ming sent me before, I think her name is Chiu Lan, right?"
Feng Ming replied: "She is Chiu Lan. I have something to inform the Empress Dowager ..."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand slightly to stop Feng Ming, who said briefly to the servants: "All of you can retire."
All the maids, including Chiu Yue and they left. Until the room was only for both of us, the Empress Dowager let out a long sigh: "What Duke Ming meant, I know that and that's why I came here. That Tong Er is no different from a spoiled child who doesn't understand much." Going around and wanting to cause problems. Understandably, Duke Ming is angry. I already gave him a lecture, so in the future he won't dare to cause problems. "
Feng Ming cannot believe that the Empress Dowager can use soft phrases like that to protect Tong Er, so he quickly intervened: "Empress Dowager, this time fortunately hit Rong Hu or else Chiu Lan then ..."
"Speaking of Rong Hu, I also have something to say to Duke Ming." The Empress Dowager suddenly became serious.
She is the mother of Rong Tian, who has been in charge of the harem for many years. As soon as his power is revealed, even Feng Ming is suppressed three points. Waiting for Feng Ming to open his mouth, he sighed: "All the people who serve Duke Ming were personally chosen by the Great King. They are all talented people who are hard to find, with the right background, not many people in the palace they would dare to play. But, Duke Ming should also give a lecture. Strictly. For example, Rong Hu, believing that he is Duke Ming's favorite, today dares to hit Tong Er. This incident the Duke Ming is aware of it? "
Feng Ming was shouting inside, but when he confronts the Empress Dowager, he can't reveal his inner thoughts: "I don't know ... The only thing is that Rong Hu had never before taken immediate action on his own. So he hit Tong Er, There must be a logical reason for that. "
Empress Dowager narrowed her eyebrows: "Tong Er can't be compared to other people, how dare Rong Hu act?"
Feng Ming also frowned. "Can't you touch Tong Er?"
The Queen Mother could not speak for a long time, and looked at Feng Ming with a look of wonder: "Has the Great King ever told Duke Ming?"
"About what ?"
The widow empress paused and began carefully: "Is Duke Ming aware of Tong Er's background?"
"Rong Tian talked about it once," Feng Ming tried to remember: "He is General Tong's nephew, and he is also the only son of General Tong's elder brother, the only heir of the Tong family. Before, I study the Martial arts together with Rong Tian for a few years, they are free to move around the King's palace, they are a treasure of the palace. Even so, they cannot do what they want in the palace and teach other nobles to disturb the maidservants. " .
The queen mother said "That is not the point. Duke Ming knows who Tong Er's mother is? She is a sister of the same father, a mother different from the late Great King."
Feng Ming was about to open his mouth, but closed it, once he followed through the connection, his face changed color and, in shock, he shouted: "So, Tong Er is ... he is ... "Thus, his surprised eyes looked at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager nodded: "That's right. An Xun had no children, the Great King refused to be close to the women, so the person who will assume the role of the future King of Xi Rei could only be Tong Er or his son. "
Feng Ming finally understood why Rong Hu didn't care that he shouldn't have hit Tong Er, someone who could possibly be the future King.
According to the Empress Dowager, if Rong Tian doesn't have an heir, then Tong Er, someone with the royal bloodline, could become the future king. Even if he died before Rong Tian, then his son could take on the role of ruling this land.
"Besides Tong Er, isn't there anyone else who has the royal lineage of Xi Rei?"
The widow empress chuckled: "The Tong family is loyal to Xi Rei, and the child is the closest child to the main line of the bloodline, what does Duke Ming want me to do?" The widow empress put on standing clapping gently, the maid outside, come in, just wait.
"The children are still young, and they are somewhat willing. Please, be satisfied Duke Ming! I am very happy with the tranquility in the palace." The waitress next to the queen mother said: "Leave the freshly prepared tea for Duke Ming and the Great King to taste when he returns."
Feng Ming personally sent the queen mother and returned to the room with restless feelings. Rong Hu and Chiu Lan when they saw his face, they already knew they were in trouble,
Rong Hu clenched his teeth and said: "Young Master Tong was beaten by me, Duke Ming only needs to say a word and his servant will immediately go to receive the punishment." "
Chiu Lan with his swollen eyes also shouted: "This incident is due to me, Duke Ming wants to punish and must punish only me."
"I can't believe that being Duke Ming there is something I can't do. I don't think Rong Tian can punish that child ..." Feng Ming looked at Rong Hu: "Rong Hu ..."
"Your servant is here."
"Next time, when you act, be sure to wear a mask."
"Duke Ming?"
"You do not understand?"
Rong Hu's two eyes light up: "Your servant understands."
In the room, for a moment of silence, the three people burst into laughter. Chiu Yue came in to see what was happening. "How is Duke Ming happy again? When I saw the Queen Mother come out, I was so scared!"
Feng Ming clenched his eyes and smiled at Chiu Yue: "Okay, so prepare the tea from the queen mother."
"Okay. I heard that a small cup is full of fragrance!"
Chiu Yue made good tea, Chiu Lan stopped crying and went out to look for Chiu Xing, some people sat down and drank tea. Feng Ming got up and stretched: "I'll take a walk."
Rong Hu stood up and followed Feng Ming. Feng Ming said: "I'm in the Prince's Palace, don't follow me all day."
Feng Ming wandered around. At first I wanted to see Rong Tian, but alone, I could think of Rong Tian's difficulties as king. Resistance is everywhere. Not only in the many foreign enemy countries, but also in the palace that is not peaceful. The surname boy even dared to annoy Chiu Lan. Presumably, the palace was full of smoke.
Feng Ming also feels bad because Rong Tian not only had to deal with national affairs, but also things inside the palace and yet Feng Ming still makes things difficult for him, He really doesn't know how Rong's mood Tian is always nice.
As he continues to wander, he ended up in the back of the Crown Prince's residence.
"What is Duke Ming thinking about? He's really distracted." There was a sweet and lovely male voice behind him, and a subtle smell of wine.
Feng Ming turned his head and saw a beautiful figure in his eyes.
The white belt, sitting elegantly in the corner of the pavilion, the thin arm is standing on the stone table, and the palms of the hands hold a delicate red jug.
It turned out to be Lu-Dan.
