Wishful Things

Chapter 49 The Heirloom

Xu Mingyi knew in his heart that the mistake was naturally on her body.

"Anyway, sir, take care."

In the last life, it was Mr. Yao's hexagram that saved her from disaster.

And in this life, she has to rely on herself to avoid 'robbery' for the entire Zhen Guo government.

The girl saluted again, then walked towards the study.

Yao Jing looked at the slender but tenacious back, with more and more doubts in his eyes.

Ah Zhu stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

Duke Zhen's voice came from the study.

Ah Zhu pushed the door open, and Xu Mingyi walked in.

"grandfather."

"It's Zhao Zhao."

Behind the desk, Lord Zhen smiled and waved to his granddaughter, "Come and sit down and talk."

At this time, he was alone in the study, not dealing with any important military affairs, but taking a pig temple brush and carefully brushing and grinding two new large round walnuts.

When he came to Beijing with the late emperor, the late emperor worried that he was too irritable, he should find some elegant hobbies to cultivate himself, otherwise it would not be a problem to fight with people every day... The old man racked his brains to choose one After a big circle, I finally chose a plate of walnuts.

It can only be refined to such an extent, and it really won't work any more.

And in the first few years when I tried to suppress my temper, it was quite expensive.

"Grandfather just came back from the palace?"

Ah Zhu moved a chair from the side, and Xu Mingyi asked after sitting down.

Duke Zhen nodded, and held the cleanly brushed walnuts in his hands, coiling them in his palms, and said in a gentle and authentic tone, "I've almost finished my busy work, and I can spend some time at home."

He intends to take advantage of this period of time to carefully review many thoughts.

Xu Mingyi nodded, and then asked in a low voice: "Grandfather, did you know about the Prince's falling into the water, did the palace find out anything?"

Lord Zhen's expression straightened, he shook his head slightly, and said: "I heard something faintly when I entered the palace today... I probably can't find out anything new about this matter, that little eunuch may have already confessed."

Last night the emperor summoned them to the imperial study, a group of civil servants talked a lot about it, he just listened and didn't interrupt.

The most suspected one is Concubine Rong, who is now pregnant.

However, Concubine Rong is pregnant, and the emperor attaches great importance to this unborn child...

Either there is something else hidden, or it is waiting to be settled after the event, but all in all, the emperor seems to have no intention of further investigating and expanding this matter for the time being.

Xu Mingyi didn't think it was any surprise.

She had thought before that the palace would suppress the truth of this matter for some reason.

But what is the truth?

"It may not be Concubine Rong." She frowned slightly and said, "Even if you have the heart to fight for the position of crown prince, there is no reason to be so anxious. Besides, this matter is not only directed at the crown prince, but also respected. Prince Wang--"

When it comes to competing for the crown prince, the premise must be to give birth to a dragon son, but if Concubine Rong can really give birth to a dragon son, she doesn't have to worry about the emperor adopting the clan son, so why would she attack King Jing's son?

Zhen Guogong looked at his granddaughter unexpectedly.

He didn't mention Concubine Rong just now, but Zhao Zhao seemed to see through the current situation at a glance, not to mention that he was able to analyze the matter so carefully and rationally——

"If Zhaozhao is a man, he will be more useful to me as a military advisor than Mr. Yao." When Duke Zhen recovered his senses, Lao Huai said happily.

"If you're not a man, you can't do it?"

Duke Zhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course you can do it! It's just that grandfather is willing to make you suffer so much?"

"Where is this suffering? For me, as long as the family is reunited and safe, life is the sweetest." The girl said with a smile, but her eyes were very serious: "If grandpa really has something that can use me, I will It's too late to be happy. Our Zhen Guogong's family is big, and the burden is heavy, and it shouldn't be carried by grandfather alone."

In her eyes when she was young, her grandfather was like a mountain that could shield all wind and rain, always reassuring, as long as she was with her grandfather, she would not have to worry about anything.

Now that she no longer wants to be a child protected by Dashan, she also has to shoulder her due responsibilities.

Zhen Guogong was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and felt his eyes a little sore.

"Okay, Zhaozhao can indeed relieve grandfather's worries..." He nodded, and didn't say anything more, "You don't need to worry about everything with grandfather."

In his heart, he wanted his only granddaughter to be carefree forever.

But his thoughts are his thoughts, she still has to choose how the child should live.

Zhao Zhao wanted to live in a warm room without wind or rain for the rest of her life, so he took care of the warm room for her. If she wants to come out and do something, being a grandfather will not stop her.

"The matter of the prince, the palace deliberately suppressed it for the time being, but I don't know if there will be other disturbances in the future. It is better for grandfather to pay more attention to it secretly."

Lord Zhen nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's how it should be."

Seeing that her grandfather really cared about her words, Xu Mingyi didn't say any more about it, and then talked about another thing.

"Grandfather, there is something else my granddaughter wants to ask you."

Lord Zhen nodded to signal her to just ask.

"Is there any family heirloom in our mansion?" the girl asked in a low voice.

This seems to be a question that every child will be curious about.

Duke Zhen held walnuts in his hands, nodded his head and said, "Heirlooms, of course there are."

"What is that—"

"Is there even a need to ask?" The old man said in a natural tone: "Of course it's our Zhao Zhao!"

This is the most precious treasure in his family!

Xu Mingyi couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Then besides me?" She had the cheek to seriously accept the title of family heirloom, and only asked: "Are there any other important things that are unknown and need to be properly preserved?"

Duke Zhen thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Even if there are some rare treasures, they can't be called so important..."

After all, their town government doesn't lack those at all.

Xu Mingyi did not doubt that the old man's words were false.

But, would it be unexpected? Or, her expression made her grandfather not think of the existence of that thing?

"Why did Zhao Zhao ask this?"

"This is not what the granddaughter wants to ask, but what the Zhan family son wants to inquire secretly through Liu Yilai—" Xu Mingyi said directly and simply: "The granddaughter suspects that the Zhan family father and son have plans."

She didn't intend to hide her attitude towards Zhan's family from her family, but Liu Yi had just been sent to the government at that time, and she didn't want Zhan Yunzhu to notice too much strangeness for the time being, so it took more than ten days to tell her grandfather.

If you want to say it, say it clearly, Xu Mingyi immediately said that Zhan Yunzhu has been using Liu Yi for these years.

Lord Zhen frowned.
