Rong Zhi didn't answer, just pulled Lou Yueqing over, let her sit on his lap, looked at her softly, reached out and rubbed her cheek, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about these things now, I have all the arrangements, don't worry, there won't be any mess!"

Lou Yueqing stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his neck, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I really don't care!"

"Hmm!"

The government affairs of the Chu State court are his own affairs, and he doesn't want her to bother with these things unless he has to, let alone now.

He just wanted her to take care of the matter here first, and then go back with him.

At the same time, Chu Jing.

It is no secret that Rong Zhi returned to Beijing and left Beijing, everyone knows that the regent and the princess regent are not in Beijing, but although they are not there, Jingzhong is still very calm, and no one dares to make trouble.

However, after a period of calm, it exploded because of one thing.

The Yuan family was imprisoned, and originally only Yuan Ji was imprisoned, but just a few days ago, Xue Zhen, the commander of the Wang Qi Guard, was ordered by the regent to put all the Yuan family in the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting to be released, and the accusation of Yuan Ji's treason against the enemy has also been decided.

King Shen has found the evidence, the battle of Chu Li was fierce back then, because the national strength of the Li State was strong at that time, and the Chu State was not an opponent at all, but it was still barely supported, no one expected that the Chu State would be defeated so badly, and the reason for the fiasco was because Yuan Ji sent the news to a deputy general named Cheng Ying who was on the battlefield, revealed the marching plan to the enemy army, and let people delay the grain and grass transported to the battlefield on the way, so in that battle, the Chu State was defeated, with more than 100,000 dead and wounded.

And in this matter, there are many people involved, and there are several military generals who know about it, and these people have all died in these years, and the deaths of these people are more or less related to the Yuan family, and that General Cheng, many years ago, was ordered by Rong Zhi to be executed because he was implicated in a conspiracy to seize power by the five princes of the first emperor, committed suicide in prison, and the family was exiled.

King Shen investigated these related people during this time, and felt that there were some suspicious points in this case, so he secretly investigated and found that Cheng Ying was a deputy general in that war, and Cheng Ying's death was planned by the Empress Dowager Yuan, and he had nothing to do with the henchmen of the five princes, and Cheng Ying's wife and children also died on the way to be assigned.

When I got here, the original clue was broken, but just two days ago, a middle-aged man who claimed to be Cheng Ying's confidant found King Shen's Mansion and handed King Shen a box, which contained a copy of Cheng Ying's handwritten accusation and the letter passed to him by Yuan Ji back then, which was stamped with the seal of Prime Minister Yuan, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and Yuan Ji was irrefutable.

Yuan Ji was immediately transferred to the prison of the Criminal Department, and all the people of the Yuan family were imprisoned, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a major crime of the Jiu clan, naturally, the side branch of the Yuan family is also in danger, and the people related to this case are also imprisoned, and the regent will return to Beijing and then send it down.

Cen Xue died half a month ago, and before she died, she set a fire to her house and burned it, and she was also in it at the time, so among the people arrested by the Yuan family this time, there was no her, and Yuan Shaoyan, who was not in Beijing, although he escaped, was also wanted.

Because of this incident, the Empress Dowager Yuan was devastated, she was already very sick, and she got a little better, but as soon as this incident came out, she was directly bedridden.

Yuanji has always denied this, but, in front of the evidence, he is irrefutable, this time, he will definitely die, and just last night, Yuanji, who was secretly detained, committed suicide, and when he was found, his body was stiff.

The Yuan family is afraid of death, everyone knows this, so there is no precaution against these, and no one thought that he would commit suicide.

Rong Yan had been very calm during this time, and he had nothing to do in the Xuanwen Palace, and after learning that Yuanji had committed suicide, he suddenly went to the Zhangde Palace.

Looking at the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and resting without blood on her face, Rong Yan frowned and sat on the edge of the bed.

Empress Dowager Yuan no longer has the previous grace, after this period of blows, she is twenty years old, the hair on her sideburns is white, her face is haggard, and she has lost a lot of weight, and she no longer has the noble and graceful appearance she used to have, but a terminally ill old woman.

The Yuan family is what she cares about the most in her life, and now, the Yuan family has fallen to this, and her despair can be imagined.

Rong Yan waited for a while, and the Empress Dowager Yuan woke up.

Seeing Rong Yan, she was a little surprised, and her originally empty eyes moved slightly.

Rong Yan has retreated left and right, so there are only two mother and son in the palace.

Rong Yan asked gently: "The queen mother is awake, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Actually, his question is a bit redundant, because the current Empress Dowager Yuan is uncomfortable anywhere.

Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Rong Yan quietly for a long time before pulling the corners of her mouth and speaking weakly: "The emperor has finally come to see the mourning family." ”

She was very sick and had little strength, so she spoke very quietly, and if it weren't for the silence in the hall, Rong Yan wouldn't have been able to hear it.

Rong Yan was silent, in the past few days, the Empress Dowager Yuan has been sending people to look for him, but he has not come.

He couldn't do anything about this matter, and he didn't want to interfere, he knew what the Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to do when she asked him, so he wouldn't come.

Seeing that he was silent, the Empress Dowager Yuan frowned: "The Yuan family ......"

Rong Yan knew what she wanted to say, interrupted her, and said lightly: "Last night, my uncle committed suicide!"

Empress Dowager Yuan stiffened and committed suicide......

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan stared at Rong Yan in disbelief, tugged at Rong Yan's sleeve with her hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... You...... What do you say?"

Rong Yan looked at her quietly and did not repeat, but his eyes were enough to show that his words were not false.

Empress Dowager Yuan's heart sank, and she collapsed there, looking at the top of the curtain in a daze! Her eyes were full of grief.

Her brother ...... He's dead!

Rong Yan didn't feel a little unbearable because of the Empress Dowager Yuan, but continued to say calmly: "Uncle is dead, this case is over, the Yuan family can't be saved, but don't worry, you won't be implicated in any way!"

With Motoyoshi's death, the events of that year also became a secret with his death.

When the Empress Dowager Yuan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Rong Yan, and after a while, she pulled the corners of her mouth, with a touch of sarcasm, she said: "The emperor is really ruthless!"

What the hell is going on with Yuanji's death, how could she not figure it out?

Maybe Yuanji committed suicide, but this case has developed so far, the evidence is conclusive, and it is difficult to say what role Rong Yan played in it.

Hearing the words that the Empress Dowager Yuan gritted her teeth and squeezed out, Rong Yan was noncommittal, smiled faintly, as if she was bathing in a spring breeze, and said, "Isn't this what the Queen Mother has been teaching me all along?"

His ruthlessness, his city, originated from his mother, in the final analysis, he will be like this, and the Empress Dowager Yuan has contributed a lot.

Empress Dowager Yuan choked and didn't speak, but stared at him deadly, gritting her teeth.

Rong Yan said again: "But the queen mother can rest assured, the Yuan family will not be extinct, Yuan Shaoyan has escaped without being in Chujing now, I believe that with his cleverness, he will not come back to die!"

Hearing that Yuan Shaoyan was fine, the Empress Dowager Yuan was a little relieved, the Yuan family could have an accident, but Yuan Shaoyan couldn't have an accident, she had worked hard for so many years to cultivate a Yuan Shaoyan, and she had high hopes, the foundation of the Yuan family had to be kept by him, and the belief that the Yuan family had adhered to for generations had to be completed by Yuan Shaoyan.

The Yuan family can have an accident, but Yuan Shaoyan can't have an accident!

Rong Yan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will do my best to help you what you want to do, but there is one thing I hope you don't forget, even if I die, the rivers and mountains of Chu can only belong to my son!"

Therefore, the Yuan family's conspiracy to seize the country of Chu is impossible to succeed.

Everything he is doing now is so that after his death, the country of Chu will be passed on to his son, and it will be in the hands of his wife and son, and it will be just convenient to help the Empress Dowager Yuan.

After all, some of their purposes are the same.

The corners of Empress Dowager Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at Rong Yan's eyes with some ridicule, and said weakly: "But don't forget, the emperor, you can ascend to this throne, it was the mourning family and your uncle who fought for you, without us, can you get this throne?"

If it wasn't for her and Yuan Ji planning back then, just with the first emperor's care and favor for Rong Zhi, how could Rong Yan become the crown prince, how could he ascend the throne, and how could he marry Qin Minying?

Now, Rong Yan is watching the Yuan family fall to this point, watching Yuan Ji die, the so-called ingratitude, isn't that it?

Scold!

Rong Yan smiled lightly, and the wind was light: "The queen mother is right, without you and your uncle, I really can't compete with Rong Zhi, but has the queen mother forgotten? If it weren't for the lack of other choices, you and your uncle would help me?"

If the Yuan family wants to do that, they must first support a prince who is related to the interests of the Yuan family to be the emperor, and the best interest is blood relationship, he and Rong Zhi are both grandsons of the Yuan family, but Rong Zhi cannot tolerate the Yuan family, so supporting him is the only choice!

So, at the end of the day, everything is just about using each other, and no one owes anyone.

Didn't he also keep the Yuan family alive under Rong Zhi's hands for so many years? If it weren't for him, with Rong Zhi's temperament and resentment towards the Yuan family, the Yuan family would have been uprooted long ago, and he would have done his best!

Empress Dowager Yuan said weakly in a low voice: "Even if this is the case, the emperor can't deny it, you did this just to cover up what you did back then, you are afraid that Rong Zhi will know, but the emperor, Rong Zhi is so smart, even if Yuan Ji is dead, he will still know......"

Therefore, you can't hide it from Rong Zhi, you can only hide it from the world!

Rong Zhi was silent, he knew that Rong Zhi would know sooner or later that the incident was planned by him and Lou Yueqing had guessed it, so how could he hide it from Rong Zhi?

It's just that this matter must not be known to the world, otherwise, everything he has worked so hard for so many years will be in vain.

Rong Yan squinted meaningfully, and said lightly: "Anyway, I can't live, it's okay to know, it's okay not to know, it's not important!"

Empress Dowager Yuan was a little puzzled.

However, Rong Yan suddenly stood up and said lightly to the Empress Dowager Yuan: "It's time for the queen mother to drink medicine, and I should go back, you have a good rest, and I will come to see you another day!"

After speaking, before she could react, the person had already turned around and left.

When the Empress Dowager Yuan's words came to her mouth, she could only take them back.

Walking out of the dormitory, Rong Yan asked Aunt Yuanlan to bring the medicine in, and when he saw Lou Qiqi waiting on the side, he raised his eyebrows.

At the same time, the Ningguo Mansion.

Mrs. Ning Guo was a little worried about Lou Yueqing during this time, especially when Rong Zhi left to find Lou Yueqing as soon as she returned to Beijing, she felt that Lou Yueqing was not easy to leave Beijing this time.

At that time, Lou Yueqing told her that she had something to do, and by the way, she went to see Duanmu Hanxi, after Mrs. Ning Guo knew this daughter's life experience, she knew that she had a lot of things to do, so she believed it, but now, Lou Yueqing has been away from Beijing for nearly a month, and she is very flustered and worried.

Situ Zhong was ordered to return to Beijing, just arrived yesterday, and came to see Lou Yichen early this morning, discussed border military affairs, and also conveyed Rong Zhi's meaning, just left, Lou Yichen came to Mrs. Ning Guo.

brought a handwritten letter from Lou Yueqing and asked Situ Zhong to bring back to Mrs. Ning Guo.

Lou Yueqing didn't tell Mrs. Ning Guo what happened, but she was afraid that she would worry, so she wrote a letter to Situ Zhong to bring it back, so that she didn't have to worry.

After Mrs. Ning Guo finished reading the letter, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Did General Situ say that Qing'er and the regent are where they are now?"

Lou Yichen shook his head: "I didn't say this, but my mother doesn't have to worry, with the regent here, that girl will not be bullied, nothing will happen!"

Mrs. Ning Guo sighed: "Hope!"

For some reason, she still felt unsure.

Thinking of something, Mrs. Ning Guo suddenly frowned, looked at Lou Yichen and asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask, what did the regent do to let Situ Zhong return to Beijing?"

Rong Zhi asked Situ Zhong to return to Beijing, there was definitely something going on......

Lou Yichen thought for a while and replied truthfully: "The regent asked him to come back and garrison Chujing!"

Garrisoning Kyoto, you need a deterrent person, now that the regent is not there, Situ Zhong is the number one general under him, on a par with Xue Zhen, with the military power of the iron-blooded cavalry, with him, no one in Chu Jing dares to toss.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning Guo was a little puzzled: "What does this mean?

Naturally, she would not think that Rong Zhi did not trust the Ningguo Mansion, but suspected that Rong Zhi had something to do......

Chu Jing has Lou Yichen here, even if Rong Zhi is not there, there will be no chaos, unless, Lou Yichen is no longer in Chu Jing, will ......

Seeing that Mrs. Ning Guo's face suddenly changed, Lou Yichen didn't hide it, nodded directly, and said, "Mother guessed right, the child will leave Beijing in a few days, if nothing happens, it will take about a month to come back!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning Guo's face changed.

"Why?"

If you want to send Lou Yichen out of Beijing, the matter is not trivial......
