Chapter 179 (2/2)

”You should not know about the price of rice.” Xiao Zimu walked back to his chair and held his forehead in meditation.

Zheng Zhongguang heard a trace of warmth in his heart, and suddenly had an impulse to cry.

”Why did your Highness believe me?” Zheng Zhongguang's voice was choked.

Mao Xianchun was so aggressive just now, and the words of criticism were smooth and transparent. If it wasn't him who was criticized, I'm afraid he would have believed it long ago.

”At first you had to call him to testify for you, but I really thought you wanted to find a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, he didn't hesitate to put all the blame on you. He spoke so skillfully as if he had recited it several times. Instead, I began to doubt.” There was a strange brilliance in Xiao Zimu's eyes.

Zheng Zhongguang couldn't help taking a step forward and wanted to see more clearly.

Xiao Zimu looked up at him and looked into his eyes.

Zheng Zhongguang suddenly stopped. Just now, due to the situation, he almost called his cousin.

”Your Highness, I did look at the price of the fold, but it didn't float for ten Wen, so I stamped the official seal below.” Zheng Zhongguang remembered the key to this matter.

The others are all nonsense of Mao Xianchun, but this is real evidence.

”I also want to see what's wrong with this fold.” Xiao Zimu nodded, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face as bright as jade climbed up a trace of sadness.

”Since your highness knew that he was so angry just now, could it be...” Zheng Zhongguang was not a fool and suddenly opened his mind.

”I have an idea in my heart, but I don't know if they will come on stage as I expected.” Xiao Zimu looked suspicious and had some consideration in his heart.

”I don't know if there is anything I need to cooperate with.” Zheng Zhongguang asked tentatively.

Xiao Zimu waved to him. When he came, he attached it to his ear and whispered his plan.

Zheng Zhongguang's eyes were bright and dark, and his expression fluctuated and changed. When Xiao Zimu finished, he was surprised and asked, ”will it develop to this point?”

Xiao Zimu's complexion was as warm as jade and handsome as before.

He chuckled at the corners of his lips. The hot summer was like a cool wind, which made people feel more comfortable.

”Who knows? Let's go step by step. I've just guessed ahead of time. If there are no complications, it's best. Otherwise, if the rice price is implemented on your head, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Xiao Zimu got up and prepared to go out. When he passed the lotus picture, he stopped.

”Your Highness, if you can't wash away your grievances, I hope you can take care of your parents in the future.” For the first time, Zheng Zhongguang used the word ”lower official” in front of Xiao Zimu.

”If you haven't done it, I will protect you, your own parents and take care of yourself.” Xiao Zimu's voice is light, but his meaning is deep.

”Your Highness, thank you.” Zheng Zhongguang knelt down to pay homage.

Xiao Zimu walked up to the door. Wu ran looked back and asked Zheng Zhongguang, who was kneeling on the ground, ”do you like that lotus very much?”

”Yes, although I don't know much about Danqing, I have a special liking for this lotus. But the painting hasn't been signed, and I don't know who wrote it.” Zheng Zhongguang didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question, but he still replied truthfully.

”After this is over, I'll sign this lotus for you.”
