Chapter 108 Calming Flower
After exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Song for a while, Zhu Ming finally returned to the side courtyard.
But today, this side courtyard gives people an unusual feeling.
I don't know why, but I always feel that the servants around here seem a little dull.
After opening the door of the study, Zhu Ming suddenly became serious and lowered his voice, as if he had noticed something.
"Liu Jin, you stay outside."
After saying this, Zhu Ming closed the door of the study without waiting for Liu Jin to speak.
Just as Zhu Ming closed the door, the light in the study finally came on.
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Chen Ling walked out from the darkness, knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Ming, and lowered her head.
"Get up."
Zhu Ming nodded, but did not hold Chen Ling responsible for her actions.
Chen Ling must have something important to tell me by doing this.
"I don't know how His Royal Highness knew I was here."
Chen Ling stood up obediently and looked at Zhu Ming very seriously.
He thought he had hidden it quite well, but he didn't expect Zhu Ming to sense it in advance.
Even he himself didn't know at which step he was exposed.
"Nothing, probably just intuition."
Zhu Ming shook his head. He just suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange when he came in.
If I have to say it, it's probably the sixth sense.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
It was difficult to explain why he was able to sense the presence of Chen Ling and the others. Zhu Ming didn't want to continue and decided to get straight to the point.
Chen Ling and the other Jinyiwei went to so much trouble, they probably didn't do it just to try to see if he could sense their presence.
"Yes, there is news about the flower that His Royal Highness asked me to find out about last time."
Chen Ling nodded and began to report seriously.
Looking at his expression, Zhu Ming could roughly tell that the origin of that flower was not simple.
"This flower is called the Anshen Flower. It is a rare flower from the land of Baiyue. If you only smell the fragrance of the flower, it will have the effect of calming your mind and promoting sleep."
Chen Ling said this, but hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Ming, and stammered: "It's just..."
There were some things he didn't know whether he should tell Zhu Ming.
I don’t know why Zhu Ming is trying to find out all this.
"Just what?"
Seeing Chen Ling's abnormal behavior, Zhu Ming realized that this matter did not seem simple, and immediately asked about it.
Just what? It made the dignified Jinyiwei commander look so solemn.
"However, this flower is also used as a primer for Gu worms in the land of Baiyue. It can be used to activate Gu worms and kill people invisibly."
This flower is too dangerous when used in conjunction with a certain poisonous insect.
It was precisely because of the danger that he was so hesitant just now. I wonder why Zhu Ming was asking about this kind of flower?
"Forgive me for being so rude, but I wonder why Your Highness the Imperial Grandson is asking about this flower?"
After hesitating for a while, Chen Ling raised her head and looked at Zhu Ming, and asked in a deep voice.
This flower was so strange that he didn't know whether he should tell his little grandson.
"I just think the petals have a peculiar color and look pretty."
Zhu Ming looked innocent again, grinned, and just brushed it off.
As a child, I think the petals are beautiful, so it is reasonable for me to want to know what kind of flower it is.
I can't just tell Chen Ling directly that this is the flower that Zhu Yunhuan wants to inquire about.
It wouldn't be good if the matter got to Old Zhu.
"The official knows."
Chen Ling nodded. From a child's perspective, it was normal to have such thoughts.
But this little grandson’s mind is already more mature than some adults.
I hope the emperor's grandson just thought it looked beautiful, so he asked me to find out.
"Go down."
Zhu Ming rubbed his forehead. Why did Zhu Yunhuan ask people to inquire about this dangerous flower?
His intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.
"Yes."
Chen Ling nodded, but paused before leaving, looking back at Zhu Ming: "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just let me know."
He was still somewhat worried about this little grandson, fearing that he might do something wrong.
"Don't worry, Master Chen Ling. I know what to do and what not to do."
Zhu Ming was somewhat aware of Chen Ling's worries and nodded affirmatively.
I didn't ask about these flowers myself, and I don't have any need for them at the moment.
"Subordinates retire."
Chen Ling didn't say anything more. She clasped her hands together and hid in the darkness, as if she had never appeared.
I hope the emperor’s grandson really knows what he is doing, otherwise if something happens, they will all die.
"His Royal Highness!"
As soon as Chen Ling disappeared, Liu Jin's knock on the door sounded outside.
Liu Jin stood at the door, holding a food box in his hand, and knocked on the door carefully.
I am becoming more and more confused about His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.
He has changed. Now he has secrets in his heart. He is distant and cold.
"come in."
Zhu Ming looked around and confirmed that Chen Ling was nowhere to be found. Then he cleared his throat and responded.
After getting Zhu Ming's consent, Liu Jin opened the door and walked in with the food box.
"Your Highness, I have just had someone prepare food."
Liu Jin said this and respectfully placed the food box in front of Zhu Ming.
As soon as his royal highness came back, he locked himself in the study, and no one knew what he was busy with.
No matter how busy you are, you have to eat something after walking outside all day.
If this person becomes thin due to hunger, His Majesty will punish me for not taking good care of him.
"Thank you."
Zhu Ming relaxed only after Chen Ling left. Now, after hearing what Liu Jin said, he felt that he was indeed a little hungry.
If you think about it carefully, you first went to Fang Xiaoru's residence, then to Duke Wei's residence, and on the way back you stayed at Zhu Song's place.
I haven't had a single drop of water today.
"You should eat some too."
When Zhu Ming opened the food box, a fragrant aroma hit him, making him salivate.
After being hungry for a whole day, everything tastes delicious.
Picking up the chopsticks, Zhu Ming did not forget Liu Jin and greeted him.
"It is against the rules to eat with the emperor's grandson."
Liu Jin just smiled and shook his head without moving forward.
Even though he and Zhu Ming grew up together and could be considered playmates, there was still a hierarchy that could not be crossed casually.
"Where do all these rules come from?"
Zhu Ming pouted. People in the new era believe in equality for all, so there is no need for so many rules.
But this was still ancient times after all, and he didn't force Liu Jin to do anything, so as not to cause any trouble to Liu Jin.
"Enjoy your meal, Your Highness. I will come and clean up later."
Seeing that Zhu Ming had already started eating, Liu Jin bowed to Zhu Ming and stepped back.
