Chapter 217: Waves
Xiao Feizhang, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

said that Rong Chengxiang was missing because he went out early in the morning and didn't come back in the evening, and he didn't send anyone back to the palace to report the news. The palace sent people to search all the places where Rong Chengxiang usually goes, but there is still no trace of Rong Chengxiang.
The clouds were thick in Chunhui Hall, and the girls and women who served were holding their breath and didn't dare to make any sound. The family of Yongjing Wangfu is now gathered in Chunhui Hall.
Prince Yongjing sat with a straight face, next to him was the princess Su, Su's face was full of sadness. Next to the bed, on one side sat the prince Rong Chengyi, then Rong Chenghan, and on the other side sat the second wife Lloy.
Lloyd's didn't know whether his tears were dry, or he didn't dare to cry in front of the old prince, although his eyes were still red, he sat without saying a word, half-hanging his head, as if staring at the ground in a daze.
The princess didn't come, saying that she wanted to take care of Jin'er, but she just sent someone to ask twice. Although it is such a big thing, the princess is used to doing this, and everyone is used to it, and no one in the palace will talk about the princess because of this.
After a while, two more groups of family members who were looking for people in Zhuangzi outside the city came in and reported to Prince Yongjing and the Su family, saying that Rong Chengxiang had not been found.
"Bastard, something that doesn't make it!" Prince Yongjing suddenly scolded. This is angry with Rong Chengxiang. So he hid and refused to come back to make it clear. Seeing that he has the ability not to come back for the rest of his life, if he dares to come back, he will immediately discount his leg. ”
Prince Yongjing's temper is not good, and he is known for being strict with his godson, Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengyi, who were sitting on the couch, were both beaten by the old prince when they were children. At that time, the old prince was still young, and when he taught his sons, he treated them like enemies.
Now. The old prince has not been so angry for a long time. Looking at his appearance, Rong Chengxiang is good to hide outside, if he comes back, I am afraid that he will be sad for the old prince.
Rong Chengyi, Rong Chenghan and Lloyd's did not dare to speak.
"Lord Wang, don't get angry yet. This thing...... hasn't verified it yet, so I have to listen to what the second child has to say. The old prince was angry, and Su's heart was also nervous, but he was worried about Rong Chengxiang, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
"It's all you, who connived at him." The old prince is angry. Hearing Su Shi say this, he immediately turned his anger on Su Shi's body.
Su Shi immediately stopped talking, a trace of grievance flashed on his face, and then he thought about it in front of his son and daughter-in-law, and he was busy covering up the past. Su Shi looked at the old prince's angry appearance, and knew in his heart that the old prince naturally hated Rong Chengxiang for this matter, but he didn't blame her.
Invite the ladies to come to the house to eat, drink and watch the play. It's Su's arrangement. At this time, Prince Yongjing will inevitably complain that the Su family is not clear, so that such an ugly thing will happen.
Su Shi held his breath in his chest, but he didn't dare to argue with the old prince. On the other hand, he was more worried about Rong Chengxiang, so he hurriedly glanced at Rong Chengyi. If it is said at this time, who can still make the old prince listen to it, and be a little soft-hearted. Then this person is none other than Rong Chengyi.
Although Rong Chengyi was young, the old prince was extremely strict with him, after all, he was the eldest son. The old prince has high hopes for Rong Chengyi. However, Rong Chengyi lost his mother at a young age, and the old prince could no longer be ruthless to Rong Chengyi. In this comparison, among the three brothers when he was a child, Cheng Yi was the most favored and the least beaten. After the death of the former princess, the old prince never beat Rong Chengyi again, and almost responded to Rong Chengyi's requests.
Rong Chengyi received Su's eyes, coughed dryly, and stood up.
"Father, the mother concubine is also old, for the sons, our family worries every day, the father is angry, and he shouldn't rush at the mother." Rong Chengyi spoke for Su.
Prince Yongjing raised his eyes and looked at Rong Chengyi, and his anger was obviously calmer.
"Nonsense." The old prince reprimanded, but his tone was not so stern, "Where am I going to target your mother." ”
"Your father is just anxious, and it doesn't matter." Su Shi immediately said, signaling Rong Chengyi not to speak for him, the important thing is Rong Chengxiang.
"Father, the second brother is not necessarily hiding, maybe there are some other reasons. Now that we have only heard one side of the story, it is still a family like Uncle Dingyuan, and we believe that it is the fault of the second brother, and it is really a little unfair to the second brother. Rong Chengyi smiled and continued to say to Prince Yongjing.
"Who is Uncle Dingyuan, don't I know. But this matter, there is no wind and no waves. "The old prince still knows a little about his second son, and after inquiring about the people in the house, he has long identified Rong Chengxiang's fault in his heart.
Rong Chengyi also knows Rong Chengxiang, but at this time, he must still speak for Rong Chengxiang.
"I just ask my father not to be angry, because when I am angry, my mother and concubine will be worried, and my sons will be uneasy. The affairs of the second brother naturally have to be clear. Everything, wait for the second brother to come back. Rong Chengyi persuaded the old prince, and the old prince was no longer angry.
"Send more people out and get them back at once." The old prince commanded again.
As soon as the old prince ordered, someone immediately mobilized people below and went out to find Rong Chengxiang.
"Third child, aren't there still some people under you? You are now in charge of the camp outside the city, if your second brother goes out of the city......" Su said to Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan immediately got up.
"Father, mother, I immediately sent my men to find the second brother. The camp outside the city, I have to go to it myself. ”
Su Shi was very satisfied with Rong Chenghan's attitude, and his face came out. Prince Yongjing did not nod.
"It's just a little private matter of my own family, how to use the soldiers of the big battalion. It's just a matter of sending out the guards you have with you. The old prince had a clear distinction between public and private, and Rong Chenghan didn't speak anymore.
Even so, the old prince seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and his eyes swirled back and forth on the faces of Su Shi and Rong Chenghan.
"Father, the third brother is not going to use the soldiers in the barracks, but he is just taking care of it, and the soldiers who patrol know it." Rong Chengyi immediately spoke for Rong Chenghan.
"Hmm." Prince Yongjing snorted and withdrew his gaze. Rong Chenghan has always done things steadily in the border army over the years, but he doesn't have to worry about it.
Everyone was sitting in the room waiting for news, and a little girl crashed in in a panic.
“…… Return, return to the princess...... seven girls, seven girls, seven girls ......"
Su Qingnuan is naturally still in the palace, but on such an occasion, she is naturally not good. Su Shi was so flustered when he saw the little girl. Suddenly, his heart tightened again, and he hurriedly asked the little girl Su Qingnuan what was wrong.
"The Seventh Girl fell and was injured." The little girl told Su.
According to the little girl, when Su Qingnuan was going down the steps, she somehow stepped on the air, and although the person waiting next to her tried her best to step forward, she still fell.
"It hurts badly!" Su Shi became nervous. What time is it now, if Su Qingnuan was only a small injury, she wouldn't have sent the little girl to report to her in a hurry.
"The girl was crying." The little girl reported.
As soon as Su Shi heard this, he thought that Su Qingnuan must be extremely injured, and he wanted to see it in his heart. But seeing the prince of Yongjing next to him, Su finally sat back and went to see Lowe's.
"Father, mother, I'll go see the seventh sister." Lowe's head was lowered, and he didn't seem to see Su's eyes, but he still stood up and said.
"Okay, you can go." Su Shi nodded and gave Lloyd's a look, meaning to ask Lloyd's to go quickly. Good students take care of Su Qingnuan.
Lowe's bowed and walked out. Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, Lloyd's is shrewd and capable, and he will definitely take care of Su Qingnuan and not let Su Qingnuan suffer grievances. But. Su Qingnuan fell and injured herself at this time, which is also something that makes people feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, Su Shi subconsciously glanced at Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan stood up at this time and said that he would arrange his subordinates to help find Rong Chengxiang. The old prince nodded naturally. Rong Chenghan went out.
In the middle of the night, Lloyd's came back first.
“…… Fortunately, it was only the last step, and it was thick at this time. The injury was not serious, just a little red and swollen. When Lao came back, he reported to Su, "I have already asked the imperial doctor to see it, and I have prescribed some prescriptions to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, saying that it will be good to eat for two days." ”
When Lloyd's said this, Su was even more relieved.
"This kid, why did he fall." Su Shi said casually.
"I said I was distracted for a while." Lloy immediately said, "The third brother said today that he was going to get married, and everyone in the house was happy......
"It's still the inconsiderate service of the subordinates." Su Shi intercepted, and glanced at Lao Shi quickly, "The third child is married, and she is naturally happy." I heard that the second child couldn't find anyone, so I'm afraid I'm worried. ”
"This seven girls have grown up around us since they were children, and they are like her own brothers. The child is careful and knows that it hurts. Su Shi said to Prince Yongjing again.
Prince Yongjing didn't care about these things, and when he heard Su Shi say this, he responded vaguely, which instructed Su Shi to take good care of Su Qingnuan.
"What kind of medicinal herbs are used, I didn't go here, but I went to the library to get them."
"It's all because the daughter-in-law lacks talent and doesn't take care of it properly." Lloy's said, "The seventh sister is in the house, she is really caring, and she shares a lot of worries for her mother and daughter-in-law." …… Entertaining young girls, the daughter-in-law has something that she can't see for a while, thanks to the seventh sister everywhere. ”
"Seven girls are rare good girls, but after all, they are young, but they are more to accompany me to relieve my boredom." Su Shi said, looking at Lloyd's, and a trace of doubt flashed seriously.
"That's what the mother said." Lowe's obediently said, "The mother also said that the people who served were not thoughtful, and the daughter-in-law also thought so, so there would be repeated incidents, and the offenses should be found out, and the small punishment should be great." Now that there are many things in the house, we can't slack off. ”
"That's right." Without waiting for Su Shi to speak, the old prince said, "At this time, you can still think about this, it's very rare." ”
The old prince praised Lloyd's, but Lloy's was busy saying that he didn't dare to take it.
"You have always been in charge of these things, and now I will leave it to you, don't let your mother work too hard." The old prince commanded.
"Yes." Lowe's immediately said yes and turned to go out.
Seeing that Lloy was gone, a trace of worry flashed in Su's eyes, and Rong Chengyi sat on the chair, thoughtful.
The palace sent a large number of people, but the next day, there was still no trace of Rong Chengxiang. The old prince said that he was ruthless, but there was also a melancholy in his eyes, not to mention Su, she had not slept almost all night, her eyes were a little blue and black, and her face was obviously haggard.
In the morning, Rong Chenghan came over to greet Su, and Su left Rong Chenghan to sit down and talk.
"Your second brother...... It's really worrying. Although the mansion sent someone to look for it, you have to be careful......" Su said to Rong Chenghan.
"Don't worry, mother." Rong Chenghan naturally agreed.
"Oh......" Su Shi seemed to hesitate, so he glanced at Rong Chenghan again, and stopped talking.
"What else does the concubine command?" Rong Chenghan asked.
"Now that the house is like this, you can see it in your eyes. The matter of your marriage, at this time...... It's too hasty, and it's not too big...... It's suitable, it's better to ......" Su Shi looked at Rong Chenghan, she believed that Rong Chenghan understood what she meant.
Rong Chenghan frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, concubine, within three days, I will definitely find the second brother back." After thinking for a while, Rong Chenghan said to Su Shi. Rong Chengxiang is not a complicated and difficult person, Rong Chenghan knows Rong Chengxiang very well. Rong Chengxiang will not hide too far, nor will he hide for too long. Rong Chengxiang was waiting, waiting for the old prince's anger to dissipate, and waiting for the Su family to help him arrange the follow-up things properly. At that time, Rong Chengxiang will definitely return.
Rong Chenghan is confident that he can find Rong Chengxiang soon. Regardless of whether the old prince's side is angry or not, the Su family's side, as Rong Chengxiang hoped, will soon arrange things for Rong Chengxiang.
"Oh......" Su Shi didn't seem to be very satisfied with Rong Chenghan's answer, didn't Rong Chenghan understand what she meant? You are three brothers, and you are the youngest, and when you were a child I used to teach you to respect your two brothers as your father. The third child, it's not the mother concubine who wants to stop you from marrying, and when this matter is over, it will be properly resolved. Otherwise, people will say, "I and your father are partial to you." If you think about it, isn't it the same way?! ”
Rong Chenghan did not speak immediately.
There was silence again. And such silence is not uncommon between Su and Rong Chenghan, a mother and son. Many times, the mother and son break up after saying two words, even if they stay together for a longer time, but they don't talk much, most of them fill the time they spend together.
"The mother is too worried." After a while, Rong Chenghan spoke slowly, and no emotion could be heard in his tone, "Now, except for the suspicion of the concubine, no one will say such a thing." ”
"The third child, Ah Han ......" Su called out the milk name of Rong Chenghan, whom she rarely called.
Although the mother concubine is relieved, the second brother will be back soon. There are too many things for the mother to worry about, and I will take care of my own affairs. Rong Chenghan got up and walked out.
Even if she knew in her heart, Liu Ruoxi's side would not agree to the family affair so quickly. Regarding Su's request, Rong Chenghan could have pushed the boat with the current, but Rong Chenghan didn't want to do it. (To be continued......)
