She didn't want to lie to him, so she said everything she could, and some things were not that she wanted to hide, but that she didn't want to say more.

That's all.

Rong Zhi didn't expect this, in fact, he thought that no one in the Lou family knew about this matter, but now it seems that he has thought too much, it doesn't matter who she is, the important thing is that if no one in the Lou family knows about this matter, it will be difficult to be good in the future, and he doesn't want her to have any trouble.

Reaching out and caressing her cheek, his eyes were a little complicated.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she watched Rong Zhi's thick palm rubbing against her cheek up close, feeling the rough thick calluses on his hands and the temperature of his fingertips, but she didn't understand him a little.

She thought he would ask.

After thinking about it, she still asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

She wanted to ......

However, he looked at her with gentle eyes, shook his head, and said softly, "No!"

Lou Yueqing bit her lip lightly, looking at the indescribable tenderness on his face, she felt a pantothenic acid in her heart, and looked at him sneeringly.

Her origin is unknown, but she is hidden in the Ningguo Mansion, a family that can shake the country of Chu, and Rong Zhi is the regent of the State of Chu, and there is no room for sloppiness in major affairs of the country, even if Rong Zhi asks, it is reasonable, she can understand it very well, but he suddenly stopped asking, why......

Lou Yueqing didn't understand what such a trust meant.

After all, he is not alone, behind him is the country of Chu, he is the regent of a country, if she is not good for the state of Chu, then with her ability and the influence of the Duke of Ningguo, she can definitely cause chaos in the state of Chu, but he no longer asked, he has never been worried, this is a lot of trust.

With her blank and surprised look in his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and incredible, and he sighed and said: "Fool ......" Immediately, he stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms, attached to her ear and whispered: "No matter who you are, as long as you are alone, nothing else matters!"

Yes, as long as she is willing to stay by his side and is willing to accompany him to old age, it doesn't matter what else she is, it doesn't matter......

She is not simple, he didn't know it now, he already knew it from the beginning, but he didn't care, he was born for half a life, he never had any hopes, he didn't know what he had lived for so many years, and now she was the only person he wanted to have for the rest of his life, in order to protect her and keep her by his side, he could give up everything, so no matter who she was, no matter whether she would cause him disaster or not, it didn't matter, it really didn't matter......

Lou Yueqing was stunned in his arms, and she didn't react for a while.

His trust surprised her, and it was also reasonable, no matter what, there was such a person who always believed in her and always loved her, which was the only thing she wanted in all these years of searching, and suddenly felt that with him, the sins and pains she had endured in the past were worth it......

Perhaps, between her and Rong Zhi, there is such a fate, twelve years ago, he went to Beili, met her, after more than ten years of wind, frost, rain and snow, she came to Chu in a circle, reunited with him, knew and loved each other, maybe everything she has experienced over the years is just to reunite with him, it doesn't matter, it's worth it.

The sincerity and tenderness he gave her were enough to offset all the pain.

Stretching out her hand to wrap her arms around him, leaning her face in his arms, Lou Yueqing said in a low voice: "Rong Zhi, I don't want to lie to you, it's just that there are some things I don't want to say now, and I can't say it, but no matter who I am, I won't hurt you, and I won't harm Chu Guo!"

Rong Zhi's face turned pale, and then he hugged her waist and mumbled.

He believed her.

He can afford unconditional trust and protection.

The fact that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent did not go to court today and went to the Ningguo Mansion to propose his relatives naturally spread in Chujing.

This matter soon became known to everyone, and before noon, Chu Jing was again full of discussions, and suddenly Chu Jing, who had not been calm, exploded, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent invited the old prince Shen's family and the old lady Zhou, who had been closed for eight years, to go to the Ningguo Mansion to propose marriage, which no one could imagine, and it was enough to show how serious His Royal Highness the regent was towards this county lord.

At the same time, the Royal Palace.

Because there are more than ten days left before the ceremony, the palace is very busy.

Rong Yan heard the news not long after Rong Zhi went to the Ningguo Mansion, although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, however, he didn't react, but the people in Zhang Dedian reacted greatly.

Empress Dowager Yuan never imagined that Rong Zhi would propose to the Ningguo Mansion at this time, which was unexpected, so it didn't take long for the emperor to come to the emperor's side.

Listening to the report of the Shunde father-in-law that the Queen Mother was going to see him outside, Rong Yan was originally describing the autumn colors outside the window, serious and focused, as if he was not disturbed by those things outside.

However, when I heard that the Queen Mother was coming, I still held the pen with my hand, and the ink rippled away, and a picture that was almost finished was ruined.

Slowly put down the pen and said softly: "Please come in!"

Shunde's father-in-law hurriedly retreated.

Rong Yan looked at a painting that had been destroyed, stretched out his hand and grabbed the painting paper without hesitation, and held it into a ball, walked around the table to the Ding furnace in the middle of the hall, threw the paper ball in, and then walked out of the inner hall, just as the Empress Dowager Yuan had already walked into the main hall, he waved his hand, and his tone was light: "Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Yuan's face was not good, and when she looked at the emperor, she was even more uncomfortable, so she just said lightly and walked to the couch on the side and sat down.

The Emperor also sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the Empress Dowager Yuan got straight to the point: "Does the emperor know that Rong Zhi has set a date to marry Lou Yueqing?"

Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head: "I know!"

Rong Zhi let Qin Tian know the day, but this matter is just a matter of time and time according to Rong Zhi's temperament, and he can't stop it, if it weren't for the fact that too much happened during this time, I'm afraid he would have proposed his marriage a long time ago, and now he has only proposed it, which is already because of the situation.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan's face sank, and she couldn't help but say: "What does the emperor think? The emperor knows what it means once they get married...... The mourning family underestimated him, the Beili envoy had already set off, and he had made a family affair with Lou Yueqing at this juncture, and the mourning family had finally laid out the situation, and it was disrupted like this......"

Beili came to marry this time, but before the person arrived, the person who married made a family affair with Lou Yueqing, which was contrary to her plan, and I really didn't know what kind of chaos would happen.

Moreover, now that the relatives have been decided, even the date of marriage has been set, and there is no way for the Beili envoys to come this time.

She didn't want to see Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi get married, and now she is not just afraid of joining forces, but more of a hatred for Lou Yueqing and Rong Zhi, how can she be willing to see them together.

The corners of Rong Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't think so: "It's just a marriage, what is the queen mother doing in such a hurry?"

He doesn't think that the dust has settled when he is married, as long as he is not married, it is not too late, not to mention, even if he is married, it is not too late.

So, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

Empress Yuan paused slightly, but she was a little puzzled: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

When she learned that Rong Zhi had proposed to the Ningguo Mansion to marry Lou Yueqing, she felt very bad, once the two of them got married, even if someone from Beili came, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do about it, after all, everyone now knows that Lou Yueqing is already Rong Zhi's rightful fiancée, and no one can deny this.

Rong Yan smiled lightly: "The first day of December...... There is still more than a month, what is the queen mother anxious about?"

There is still so long, who knows what will happen during this period, who knows what will happen when the people from Beili come, and what will happen in the future, no one can say......

Mrs. Yuan was stunned, but she was silent.

Yes, she was so anxious that she forgot something, as long as Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing had not held a big wedding ceremony, it would not be difficult to end, and it seemed that this would not affect her plan, but it would be beneficial.

Princess Beili Changle is a ruthless and domineering woman, and because she has never been disobeyed by others, she will get what she wants, I heard that this time she asked Emperor Beili to marry Rong Zhi, it must be that she has taken a fancy to Rong Zhi, if she knows that she has not yet arrived in Chu State, Rong Zhi has already made a marriage with Lou Yueqing, and the man she likes has been robbed like this, I am afraid that she will not give up.

She knows how terrible a woman's jealousy is.

At that time, no matter how powerful Lou Yueqing is, I am afraid that there will be no way to go against a high-ranking princess, and against Beili, she wants to see how Lou Yueqing will die at that time!

This woman, she must be eliminated, at any cost by any means, and she must also be eliminated.

Breathing a sigh of relief, as if relieved, the Empress Dowager Yuan said lightly: "The mourning family is in a hurry......

Yes, she didn't think of this before, but now that she thinks about it, it is true that the marriage is not irretrievable, so it is beneficial to her plan.

Rong Yan still said with an indifferent face: "It's a trivial matter, what's there to be anxious about? The queen mother is too worried!"

From the very beginning, he thought of this and prepared for it, Rong Zhi knew Lou Yueqing's thoughts very well, he could turn against himself for a Lou Yueqing, how could he bear not to marry her?

Empress Dowager Yuan is noncommittal, how can she not be in a hurry?

The emperor took a sip of the tea that had just been presented next to him, and then asked lightly: "I heard that the queen mother has recently asked the daughter of the Lou family to accompany you in the Zhangde Hall every day?"

Empress Dowager Yuan looked at him. Then he smiled faintly and said, "The emperor really knows everything!"

She does ask people to ask Lou Qiqi to accompany her every day, not just because she wants to use Lou Qiqi, but now she is bored in the palace, her daughter Zhaoqi is not as close to her as before, she can't come out of the Yilan Palace every day, the queen is no longer there, she is also lonely, let Lou Qiqi accompany her to chat, although they all have their own goals, but they are not boring alone.

Rong Yan said lightly: "If the queen mother is too lonely, I will let Jia'er talk to you more, Lou Qiqi is a member of the Lou family after all, and it is not appropriate for the queen mother to have too much contact with her!"

He summoned Lou Qiqi into the palace, but because he wanted to clamp down on the Lou family once, although Mrs. Ning Guo didn't care about this daughter anymore, but Lou Qiqi was also the daughter of the Lou family, and she was born in the Lou family, so it would be useful, and who knew if she could become a pawn for him in the future.

Empress Dowager Yuan frequently corresponded with her this time, but there was something wrong, after all, who didn't know that Empress Dowager Yuan and the Lou family had formed a relationship, she was like this, Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan's face sank, and she said lightly: "No, it's just a dancing girl, and the emperor is in pain like a treasure, and the mourning family doesn't want to see her!"

Because of her status as a high-ranking person, she doesn't like Concubine Xue's birth very much, and she doesn't like her face, so she doesn't like this woman very much, plus she was a pawn of Yuan Kite before, but she got out of control, and now she is even more disgusted by controlling the harem, but she doesn't want to care about these things anymore, so she doesn't know it.

What's more, now that the emperor trusts and favors her too much, the Empress Dowager Yuan understands very well that she can't move that woman easily, just like she couldn't move Qin Minying back then, so she is even more disgusted.

Rong Yan thought about it, didn't force it, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, go with the queen mother over there!"

Empress Dowager Yuan did not speak.

Rong Yan thought about it, and there was nothing more to say, so he directly issued an eviction order: "If the queen mother is fine, go back first, I am a little tired!"

Seeing that Rong Yan was about to stand up, the Empress Dowager Yuan immediately spoke: "There is still something to mourn the family!"

Rong Yan looked at her and waited for the following.

Empress Dowager Yuan looked at him and said lightly: "In the past, the emperor didn't say anything about the childless mourning family, but now that Qin Minying is already pregnant with the emperor's heir, I don't know what the emperor plans to do with Rong Zhi?"

In the past, Rong Zhi had always planned to pass on the throne to Rong Zhi if she died, she knew it, but there was no way, after all, the emperor had no children, and only Rong Zhi was the most qualified to succeed to the throne, but now it is different, although the child in Qin Minying's belly does not know men and women, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not a prince, if he gives birth to a prince, who should inherit the throne, it is uncertain.

Rong Yan's eyes were dark and uncertain, and he thought about it, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Yuan and asked, "What does the Queen Mother think?"

His face was calm, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled weirdly, looked at Rong Yan and said meaningfully: "Doesn't the emperor know?

She wants Rong Zhi's life, since Rong Zhi has not covered it up when he was very young, and has been taking action, but the evil obstacle is too lucky, and the life is too hard, and it has never succeeded, but she can't stop, Rong Zhi's life, she must take it.

He couldn't be tolerated before, let alone now.

Hearing this, Rong Yan's eyes sank, and his tone became even colder: "If that's the case, the queen mother should dispel this idea as soon as possible!"

Yuan Tai was stunned and looked at him, a little puzzled.

Rong Yan turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Yuan, his eyes were calm, and he said in a cold tone: "I want to get rid of Lou Yueqing and control the Lou family, but I don't want the life of the seventh brother!"

Although the brotherly love is long gone, he has never thought of Rong Zhi's life.

They grew up together since childhood, even if Rong Zhi was sent away later, but he also cared about this younger brother, he had many calculations over the years, but he never had any thoughts and plans to want Rong Zhi's life, and now he won't, after all, he owes it, how can he owe more?

If it weren't for Lou Yueqing's existence, Rong Zhi would have lost his principles, and he wouldn't have made Rong Zhi uncomfortable by attacking Lou Yueqing, but Rong Zhi was too attentive and impulsive to Lou Yueqing, so that he did things he shouldn't do again and again, so this woman couldn't stay.

Empress Dowager Yuan's face sank: "Your Majesty ......"

She also thought that Rong Yan couldn't tolerate Rong Zhi anymore and would help her, but if Rong Yan really didn't want Rong Zhi's life, wouldn't it ......

Rong Yan said: "I don't care what the queen mother wants to do, but the life of the seventh brother, the queen mother still don't worry about it anymore, lest stealing chickens will not make it a loss to eat rice, and I won't be able to keep the queen mother!"

In the past, he was still sure that he could let Rong Zhi be merciful, but now Rong Zhi's attitude has changed, if the Empress Dowager Yuan does anything to endanger Rong Zhi's life, he really has no choice.

It was because she didn't want to use her hand to deal with Lou Yueqing and cause Rong Zhi to be dissatisfied, so she would send invitations to hold a birthday banquet and borrow someone else's hand to deal with Lou Yueqing, as long as she had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Yuan and him, no matter what the result was, Rong Zhi would not blame them.

But if the Empress Dowager Yuan wants to deal with Rong Zhi in this way, it is wishful thinking, and Rong Zhi is not so easy to deal with.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Yuan smiled coldly: "The emperor is warning the mourning family, but don't forget, Rong Zhi has a burning heart Gu in his body, even if the mourning family doesn't do it, his life will be less than a year!"

The Heart Burning Gu was planted in Rong Zhi's body when he was five years old, and now that Rong Zhi's twenty-fourth birthday has passed, there is less than a year left, Rong Zhi is a dead end, and she doesn't need to bother anymore.

Rong Yan was non-committed.

How long Rong Zhi will live, who can say for sure?

All he knew was that it was true that he would not live for a year......

However, no matter what, he couldn't let Rong Zhi die like this, the Chu State couldn't live without Rong Zhi, and he didn't want the Chu State to be replaced by the Yuan family from his hands.

Moreover, he believes that Rong Zhi will not let himself die like this, so Rong Zhi has been looking for a way to detoxify, according to his temperament and consistent style, since he wants to marry Lou Yueqing at this time, he must be sure that he can live, this point, he will not understand, so he is not worried, but he will not let the Empress Dowager Yuan think of this.

The poison was given by her, if she knew that Rong Zhi might be able to detoxify, who knew what he would do, he would not say much.

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't stay here long before leaving.

Rong Zhi proposed to Lou Yueqing, and Qin Minying also got the news.

However, she was calm.

If it was before, maybe she would have cared, but now, she won't.

Xu because of pregnancy, she was very sleepy, and she was tired before she ate lunch, so she closed her eyes and rested for a long time on the chaise long, it was already past noon, and she was also hungry, so she asked people to bring meals.

After eating for a while, seeing that Zhao'er had been talking and stopping, she had to put down the bowl and look at her: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Zhao'er thought about it, and couldn't help but complain a little: "Niangniang, the slave maid just feels aggrieved for Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent went to the Ningguo Mansion to propose marriage this time, and then think about it carefully......

Hearing this, Qin Minying's face was a little unhappy, and she interrupted Zhao'er's words: "Okay, don't say these words!"

Although the tone was not cold, it was also a little harsher than before, which made Zhao'er a little at a loss.

Because she has been serving since she was a child, Qin Minying is quite good to her, a dowry maid, and she will not blame her for speaking wrongly, today is a rare harshness.

In fact, over the years, she hasn't said much of these things, but today, she still can't help it.

Qin Minying's deep affection for Rong Zhi, as Qin Minying's confidant, she has always seen it clearly, and she has felt sorry for Qin Minying more than once over the years, but she has been holding back the overall situation, but now, she really can't hold it back.

Her young lady is such a good girl, why does the regent just not know how to cherish it, and would rather not want the throne than marry her, but now he is so laborious to propose marriage to the county lord of the Ningguo Mansion, how is this comparison balanced?

If it weren't for the regent's refusal to tell the truth all these years, her master would not have been so strange and misunderstood with the emperor, so that the emperor changed his mind and stopped coming to see it.

Qin Minying lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said lightly: "This palace doesn't want to mention these past events anymore, and you don't have to mention it again in the future, otherwise it will cause a big disaster, and this palace won't be able to save you, understand?"

If she was happy to be very unwilling before, but now, she no longer has any feelings, maybe there is, but only sighs, she has figured it out, it shouldn't be hers, no matter what, she never gets it, Rong Zhi doesn't want to love her, in fact, it's not that she's not good enough, from the beginning, such a bad fate was wrong, she was wrong, the fault was too persistent, the fault was unwilling to face it, now, what else can she say?

She does have some resentment towards Rong Zhi in her heart, but she no longer has that love for him, her heart has actually changed a long time ago, what she wants now is just that person can give her another chance to atone for her sins, it's just ......

It's just her wishful thinking, he no longer wants to love her, and would rather pamper someone who looks like her in every possible way than give her another chance, and she is not qualified to force it.

That's it, it's enough to have one of his children with her.

Bending her knees slightly, Zhao'er whispered: "The slave is speechless!"

Qin Minying's face was a little pale, she pondered for a moment, her eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, and then she spoke: "But...... This palace has not seen the county lord of Qingyan for a long time, so let's order someone to go to the Ningguo Mansion to spread the word, and say that this palace wants to see her!"

She really wanted to see this person who made Rong Zhi lose his soul again, this time made Chu Jing uneasy, she underestimated her before, but now it seems that it is indeed time to see her.

She lost, although she had let go, but she still wanted to know where she lost......

The leader of Zhao'er Jaw ordered: "Slave and maid, let's do it!"

Qin Minying bowed slightly, and then picked up the bowl again and continued to eat.
