Chapter 182 Promise Not to Leave Any Roots
Su Yuewen was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Wen Jindi's question, but immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, I have this plan. I want to try my hand at the imperial examination this year."
"Okay! I hope to see you next time during the palace examination." Emperor Wen Jin said with a smile.
This is what was mentioned in Zhu Su Yuewen.
The Su family members all kowtowed and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, you can go back. The imperial edict will be sent to the Marquis' Mansion later." Emperor Wen Jin waved his hand and asked the Su family to leave.
As soon as the Su family left, Emperor Wen Jin's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Someone, go to Prince Rui's Mansion and pass on the order..."
The eunuch's heart was filled with anxiety when he received the imperial decree. He never expected that the emperor would actually issue such an order. He did not dare to stay and immediately rushed to Prince Rui's palace.
……
In Prince Rui's mansion, Concubine Shu stayed beside Li Zixuan, crying very sadly.
How could her son become like this after just one outing?
That despicable man who seduced Prince Rui should be tortured to death!
"Where is that despicable man?" Concubine Shu looked up and asked.
She was filled with rage that burned wildly in her chest, wishing she could burn her entire heart.
"Reporting to Her Majesty Shufei, the one from the Zhang family was sent to the side courtyard. When I came here, I heard that he hadn't woken up yet. We don't know how he is doing now." Aunt Li replied.
"Hmph! Accompany me to meet this little bitch who seduced my son." Concubine Shu said coldly.
In the side courtyard, Zhang Jueping had woken up, but he was in pain all over, especially in the key parts of his back, as if someone was constantly cutting his flesh with a knife. The pain made his face pale and he was sweating coldly.
But after he was thrown here, no one cared about him. No matter how he screamed or asked, no one paid any attention to him.
"Someone, where is this?"
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Zhang Jueping's voice was hoarse and his question was extremely weak.
However, there was no movement outside, he felt like he had been forgotten, and a huge sense of panic came over him.
He clearly remembered what happened between him and Prince Rui. He was humiliated like a woman by Prince Rui, who was also a man, and this feeling of humiliation made Zhang Jueping want to kill Prince Rui with his own hands.
But he didn't dare to do so. Prince Rui was a prince with a noble status. If he were to kill him, the entire Zhang family would be buried with him.
"Is there anyone here? Come quickly and take me back..." Zhang Jueping continued to shout weakly.
He couldn't wait to die here, he couldn't, he absolutely couldn't...
Empress Shufei, who had already walked to the door, looked even uglier when she heard Zhang Jueping's weak voice in the side room.
His voice was so soft, was it with this that he seduced his son into disregarding etiquette?
What a slutty bitch! What a shameless vixen, what a slutty bitch.
The concubine became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she kicked the door open.
Aunt Li and other palace maids lowered their heads in a hurry. They had been with Concubine Shu for so long, but had never seen her so angry.
The sound of kicking the door silenced Zhang Jueping instantly. He turned his head to look at the door, his eyes full of uneasiness.
The woman who walked in was wearing noble and gorgeous clothes, and her hair was full of pearls and jade, which made her look very noble.
She had delicate makeup on her face, but her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had been crying.
Zhang Jueping didn't know who this person was, but there were two eunuchs following her, and these two people were the ones who got her out of her home.
He was not a stupid man, so he naturally guessed who this noble woman was.
She should be the mother of Prince Rui, Concubine Shu.
Zhang Jueping swallowed nervously, feeling uneasy. Why did she bring him here?
Is he going to kill people to silence them?
But there are so many people who know about this scandal, can she kill them all?
Zhang Jueping was thinking in a mess, but Concubine Shu's cold eyes kept sweeping across Zhang Jueping's face.
She is quite fair-skinned, no wonder her son likes her so much.
"I heard that you are the only legitimate son of your Zhang family, but I didn't expect that you would be so idle and take the evil path." Concubine Shu said coldly.
Zhang Jueping frowned. When did he go astray?
"I don't have any. Please send me back to Zhang's house."
He pretended not to know the identity of the woman in front of him and spoke to himself.
"Ha!" Concubine Shu sneered, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
This little bitch actually dared to speak to me like that, he just relied on the favor King Rui showed him.
"Why would you want to go back to the Zhang family? Now I will grant your wish and let you stay with my son as an aide. It will not be in vain for all your efforts to seduce him."
As Concubine Shu spoke, the coldness in her eyes grew even stronger.
This person cannot be killed for the time being, but he will not be let off so easily.
Zhang Jueping's brows furrowed even tighter. When did he seduce Prince Rui? This was simply nonsense.
But it seemed like a good idea to let himself serve as an aide to Prince Rui. Now that he had become notorious, it was impossible for him to take the imperial examination again and pursue a career in officialdom.
But if he works as an aide, even if Prince Rui cannot sit on the throne, he will have his own fiefdom, and when he leaves the capital, he will still be able to make a difference.
Zhang Jueping was thinking far ahead in the blink of an eye, but when this expression fell into Concubine Shu's eyes, it seemed that he had planned to seduce Queen Rui and finally got what he wanted.
Concubine Shu felt a chill in her heart, and she said coldly:
"Since you will be serving King Rui in the future, there is no point in keeping that thing of yours. Someone, remove its roots and take good care of it so that you can serve King Rui in the future."
Aunt Li reacted the fastest. She responded hurriedly and waved her hand, ordering the eunuchs following behind to take action.
At first, Zhang Jueping didn't understand what Concubine Shu said, but when he found that the two eunuchs began to pull down his pants, he began to struggle nervously.
"What are you doing? Let me go, what do you want to do?" he asked in a trembling voice.
The two eunuchs ignored him and continued with their actions.
"Your Majesty, this place is dirty, let's go outside." Aunt Li said to Concubine Shu.
"Okay, don't let him die. Give him the best medicine for wounds."
Concubine Shu didn't want her son's favorite thing to die in her hands. Now she just wanted to remove Zhang Jueping's roots. When her son knew about it, she would have plenty of reasons to explain, and Prince Rui would naturally not blame her.
Aunt Li helped Concubine Shu walk outside. A eunuch carrying a medicine box bowed to her and quickly walked into the side room.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The eunuch who is here to treat him is the best at this job. He will be back to normal within a month after the operation." Aunt Li said.
Concubine Shu nodded. Although she didn't say anything, the anger in her heart dissipated a little.
Zhang Jueping struggled and called out in the house. A young eunuch could not hear any more and directly stuffed a wooden plug into Zhang Jueping's mouth and comforted him in a hoarse voice:
"Master Zhang, please stop struggling in vain! Even if the queen gives orders, we servants have to follow them. But don't worry, the eunuch who holds the knife for you is very skilled in knife skills, and I guarantee that nothing will be left behind."
