Chapter 388: The Princess's Admonition

"Did you do it?" In just a few days, the king of Gaomi on the sickbed has already become a skeletal figure, although this prince is not fat, but he is not thin, but at this moment his cheeks and cheekbones are high and convex, and his cheeks are deeply sunken, looking at it in the candlelight that is not bright, it seems to be two dark holes, lined with his almost devouring eyes, indescribably weird and ruthless.

It's just that this ruthlessness, when touching the figure sitting quietly in the shadows not far away, revealed helpless weakness and jealousy, and said in a hoarse voice, "When did you buy Yuan Streamer? He is the husband of Qingfang, and the Marquis of Huaiyuan Zhuang went early, and over the years, I think I have treated the Yuan family well...... What conditions did you give him to betray me?"

"It's all at this point, what's the point of you asking this?" In the dark, Rong Sleeping Crane's face was gloomy, and he said indifferently, "Let's talk about something practical, the first emperor has handed over all the things you have given you, you can rest assured that you can live for a long time, and I can quickly calm down the overall situation!"

King Gaomi said hesitantly: "You will let me live for the rest of my life?!"

"I'm alive, you're stuck in my throat, but you're alive, and to me, it's nothing more than that. Rong Sleeping Crane sneered, "So why can't you let you live for the rest of your life?"

"......," said King Gaomi, who was silent for a moment, "what about the prince?"

Rong Sleeping Crane said indifferently: "If he is sensible, your title is still his...... Just a prince, do I have to care?"

"But I don't believe you!" King Gaomi said coldly, "You are still so cruel to me, my biological father, let alone my brother?!"

When Rong Mianhe heard this, he seemed to smile, and he didn't argue with him about who owed whom between father and son, but only called him by his name slowly, and said, "Rong Jing, are you qualified to talk about conditions now?"

King Gaomi sighed and said, "I am old now, and after this fiasco, I have no chance of making a comeback! Especially now that it is still in your hands, I guess you will not give me any hope of turning the tables around! At this time, I don't care about my life at all." The only concern is the son!"

"If you don't give me a word of substantial assurance, why do you want to take my coffin?"

"When the three Meng brothers, Zheng Hou, Wu Anbo, and Cheng Yangbo died, they must not have thought of handing over the relics to Meng Guiyu. Rong Sleeping Crane chuckled, "But now the great Meng Clan, the one who benefits the most is this Chongxin Marquis!Rong Jing, do you want me to drag the family of the prince in, and do something in front of you to know the interest?"

King Gaomi was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said, "I regret that I didn't listen to your grandmother and threw you to death when you just landed!"

He said this very lightly, but the resentment and hatred in his tone were rich as substance.

But Rong Sleeping Crane, who was sitting upright, didn't pay attention to it at all, but laughed: "It's useless, you are destined to be blessed enough, no matter how much you try to exploit loopholes, it's just in vain!"

He also said, "If I were your youth, I had the favor of the first emperor, not to mention a teacher protecting Xuanjing, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were desperate to support him to inherit the throne, what was the use? At that time, you failed to seek the throne, so you should know that your fortune is weak, your ability is shallow, and you are not the material that can ascend to the great treasure at all! Your toss over the years is just a joke!"

King Gaomi gritted his teeth and said: "Ignorant child, what do you know?!Did you say that I didn't think about murdering Xuanjing in the first place? No, not me, Concubine Rou was eager to torture Meng's mother and son to death, and she couldn't do anything in the end?! Is this because Concubine Rou is soft-hearted? Isn't it because of ...... Because in addition to Xuan Jing, there are two princes under the first emperor's knees?! If I kill Xuan Jing, the courtiers will inevitably be impeached, and then it will only be cheaper for Rou Guifei's mother and son! Rou Guifei is also afraid of Huan Guanlan, worried that the snipe and the clam will fight each other, and I will take advantage of it! As a result, Xuanjing was finally asked to sit in that seat for so many years!!

"It's not that you're useless?" Rong Sleeping Crane said slowly, "There are only two brothers in the Communist Party, you can kill Xuanjing, why can't you kill Guangling together? At that time, even if the crowd is excited, the first emperor will have a biological prince under his knees, can he still give you death and call his nephew and cousin to succeed to the throne? Not to mention whether the first emperor is willing or not, do the ministers dare to make such a suggestion, so that the first emperor can prevent his own flesh and blood from standing and turn his brother's child?!"

"Moreover, although the teacher supported Lichang back then, it was mainly because he didn't think there was anything special about you, the second son of the emperor, so he had to abandon the ancestral training of 'no heir Lichang'! If you are amazing and brilliant to impress him, how can he put a Mingjun embryo and not support it, and insist on supporting a mediocre eldest son?!"

"In the final analysis, it is your own incompetence and greed!"

"I want a good name, and I want the throne...... Bisheng is still a second son who is not very good, why should he have the best of both worlds?!"

"So he pretended to be buried at sea all these years, and he was really cultivating you secretly?" King Gaomi said in a hoarse voice, "He really wants you to sit in that seat?" The situation in Chang'an, including Tao Fu, was so easily persuaded by me...... He's all behind the scenes?"

He suddenly sneered and said, "But don't be too complacent! You, the so-called teacher, are the elders of the two dynasties, and you overwhelmed your imperial grandfather back then! You yellow-mouthed boy who was watched by him grow up and trained single-handedly, I'm afraid that he will sell you and help count the money!"

Now that he was in high spirits, he found out that he was making wedding clothes for others...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, after all, the teacher has long since died, no matter how much his old man was wise and resourceful when he was alive, the Si people have gone, how can he help me with a little secret hand left?"

"Is Huan Guanlan really dead?" King Gaomi's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he snorted coldly, "He was able to disappear for more than ten years without any news, making people think that he was long gone, but in fact, he was silently cultivating the sea and laying the overall situation of the net...... Do you know if it's a repeat today?!"

"I'm an example of this kind of thing, after all, over the years, didn't everyone in the Gaomi Mansion think that I was dead a long time ago?" Rong Sleepy Crane smiled, "Even my name was crossed out on the jade plate...... But who would have thought that one day I would have my wife return peacefully? Therefore, the teacher's death was not only witnessed by me, but also collected by me, and when he was buried, I also personally examined it, and he was a real death and a fake death, how could I not know?"

He also said, "After all, I have been born and died at sea for many years, and my suspicion has never been light. ”

"......" King Gaomi was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively, "...... his death You did it too?"

Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said noncommittally: "Have you thought about it? I will leave here tomorrow, but I don't have much effort to rub shoulders with you!"

King Gaomi opened his mouth, and after a moment, he whispered, "I want to see the prince...... After meeting Shizi, you and I will talk about it!"

"Yes. Rong Sleeping Crane thought for a moment and bowed slightly.

After he agreed, a moment later, Rong Qingchu, who was also in this mansion, received the news.

The prince with a heavy heart straightened his clothes and was about to go out, when the first princess Gaomi suddenly said: "Wait!"

The princess glanced at the soldiers who came over to deliver the message, and said in a good voice, "I have a few words to tell the next son...... Could you please wait a minute?"

This soldier is Tao Fu's subordinates, at this time, because Tao Fu is standing with a bright banner to accommodate the sleeping crane, naturally everything is to accommodate the sleeping crane and the horse, and he disagrees with the father and son of the Gaomi King and others, and the princess who seems to have a friendship with the sleeping crane is more respectful, and he hurriedly said: "The king of the county has never said that he needs the prince to go over immediately, and the princess will ask for it!"

After he bowed down and retreated, the princess looked at Qi and the others next to him.

The Qi family understood, and hurriedly took their children and Tonglian to retire.

There was only mother and son left in the house, and Princess Gaomi settled down and whispered to Rong Qingyu: "Although I don't know what he wants you to do in the past, you must remember it later: don't say what happened to your Yue family!"

Rong Qingchu first agreed tamely, and finally asked puzzledly: "Mother, why can't you mention the Yue family?"

“…… Why did many of us withdraw from Chang'an, but none of your Yue's family could come out?" Hearing this, Princess Gaomi subconsciously bit her lower lip before she said bitterly, "This is He'er's intention!"

Seeing that Rong Qingchu's face was pale for a while, and she couldn't bear to say anything, she let out a sigh and said, "I guess he did this because he didn't want to move you and Lingzhan them!"

"You kid is good at everything, but you lack the talent to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Fortunately, you have a peaceful heart, and you have always wanted to let the crane ...... It is not impossible for you brothers to live in peace. ”

"But...... Qi Jianxun, your father-in-law, may not be willing to let you just be an ordinary prince......"

"Standing in the position of the Qi family, this is also human nature. ”

"But for our family...... Qi Jianxun, or the Qi family is in one day, He'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to trust you!"

"Even if he himself is willing to believe you, his subordinates will have the intention of cutting first and then playing!"

"At that time, how dangerous will your family be?"

"He'er deliberately left the Qi family to Meng Guiyu to dispose of, just to use Meng Guiyu's hand to eradicate it, so that you don't have such a powerful wife, and you have a peaceful temperament and don't like to quarrel, so he has a reason to let your family live a good life from now on!"

Princess Gaomi looked at her eldest son, who bowed her head and was silent, with a complicated expression, "The mother concubine knows that the Qi family has always treated you very well, especially Yu'er, who is really a rare good daughter-in-law! He'er's move, you husband and wife, must be a little unacceptable in your hearts! But you also know the situation at this time." Just now the crane came and went to see your father in person...... Bacheng is a showdown with him! Now if you want to go over, you basically have to explain your family background. ”

"Those gold beads and jade artifacts, He'er didn't expect to think about anything. ”

"But some people and things that involve the overall situation, he will definitely take them. ”

"Your father was born into a noble family, and he has always been used to being held and coaxed, and he has never been so embarrassed as he is today. ”

"Originally, he was very disgusted with cranes, how could he be in a good mood when he saw cranes on his bones?"

"He alone is down, left and right, and he is not afraid of any threat from the crane. ”

"The only thing I care about is probably you...... If he knew what happened to the Qi family, he would definitely guess that He'er had no intention of killing you, and even had plans to consider it for you. ”

"Then if he makes a mistake, he won't give anything to He'er......"

"In the end, He'er has been out all these years, and he has no love for us to get along day and night, and you can see the group of people under him, all of them are very tough, and they are not soft-hearted people when they look at it......"

"When the time comes......"

The princess smiled bitterly and said with some loss, "So far, the mother concubine just hopes that you and He'er are all right." ”

“…… Don't worry, the child will take care of it. Rong Qingchu was silent for a while before he whispered, "The child will help the third brother persuade his father." ”

He followed the soldiers to the place where King Gaomi was temporarily placed, and only a few sporadic lamps were lit under the "mouth" shaped verandah behind the moon cave door.

Rong Qingchu walked closer, only to see Rong Sleeping Crane standing under the porch with his sleeves in his hands, and Dong Liang standing behind him, the master and servant were all dressed in dark robes, as if they did not exist at all in a place where the light was not very bright.

For Rong Qingyu in front of the stop, Rong Sleeping Crane only raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and raised his chin towards the inner room: "Go in!"
