Chapter 39: The Preservation Family
Rong Xi arched his hand at the emperor who was sitting on the prison platform, "Princess Ning." ”
"Oh?" The emperor's gaze shrank, and his body leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the table in front of him, looking into the distance.
Rong Xi felt that his gaze had the taste of inquiry, like a needle in the snow, constantly stabbing at herself, but she still had the same face and stood proudly.
Rong Hao couldn't help but be happy and worried in his heart, happy that Rong Xi actually has such determination, you must know that those who have been in the top position for a long time have their own aura, which is not something that ordinary people can look at, he is a veteran of the battlefield, and people who come out of the blood and fire can barely compete with him, I didn't expect that a woman like Rong Xi can actually deal with it calmly!
The worry is that Rong Xi will anger the emperor if he does not kneel like this, and he will save his life with great difficulty......
"I heard that Princess Ning is delicate and feminine, and she is the most gentle," the emperor said slowly, leaning back, "Why did I see it today, it seems to be inconsistent with the rumors?" ”
Rong Xi smiled indifferently, his eyes were calm and waveless, "Your Majesty, the courtiers think that the monarch who can see and listen with his heart is the master, not the ...... Hearsay. ”
Rong Hao gasped, and the others leaned down.
"You're bold!" Another man in a bright yellow costume shouted.
Rong Xi didn't need to look at it, she knew who it was just by that bright shadow, she was angry in her heart, sure enough, he still came, she had to see the Rong family being beheaded all over the house, and the blood was flowing like a river, so that she could really rest assured, right?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks the courtiers are not right?" Rong Xi's gaze swept over the prince's face lightly, and then he turned it away carelessly, as if he didn't take him into account at all, "So, do you agree with Your Majesty's bias and bias, and rely on two ears to rule the country?" ”
"You ......" The prince was dumbfounded, looking at the extraordinary woman in front of him, thinking about her beautiful appearance in the East Palace that day, his heart seemed to have a kitten running around, he was ruthless, between the country and the beauty, he could only choose the country, with the country and the country are still worried about the beauty?
"No matter what, if you don't kneel when you see the Holy One, you are despising the Holy One!" The prince said viciously.
"Contempt?" Rong Xi smiled coldly, raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his eyes was as proud as a sword, "Only the high-ranking master can make people truly respected!" ”
"What does Princess Ning mean?" The emperor suddenly spoke, with a cold and awe-inspiring murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, the Rong Mansion is wronged! My father is wronged! Rong Xi was not intimidated, but took a few steps forward, and his voice was loud, "Why did you give such a hasty order without careful investigation?" Of course, this is not what Mingjun did! ”
"Bastard!" The emperor was furious, he slapped his palm on the table hard, the tea cup on it was shocked and jumped three times, and the tea inside also splashed out, "You dare to scold me for being a faint king?" ”
"The courtiers are just telling the truth!" Rong Xi's words were sonorous, his eyes collided with the emperor's in the air, and they were turned away with a "snap".
The emperor was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this little woman actually had such courage, it seems that what she said is not unreasonable, the rumored cowardly and incompetent her, and the current person is simply very different, this rumor is really not credible.
However, she dared to scold publicly, how could this be spared?
The crown prince also leaned over and said, "Father, this Princess Ning is really hateful, and she dares to say that about you, she really deserves to be a capital crime!" ”
The emperor turned his head to look at the crown prince, the prince's face showed a hideous look, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and the emperor suddenly hesitated for a moment.
And Rong Hao raised his head, and said in an eager voice: "Your Majesty! Emperor! The little girl was dizzy, she had no intention of offending, and she still thought that she was the only remaining bloodline of the Rong family, spare her! ”
After that, he looked at Rong Xi again, the pity and worry in his eyes were intertwined, "Xi'er, don't kneel down and ask for guilt!" ”
"Father," Rong Xi slowly turned his head sideways, his tone was slow, but every word was thousand, "You have been loyal to the country all your life, and finally you have been charged with treason, if you don't fight, a hundred years later, you will always be a rebellious person in the history books that everyone can spurn, you ...... Would you like to? ”
Rong Hao opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Rong Xi asked again: "The Rong family was also destroyed because of this catastrophe, and the daughter can only mention the Ning Wangfu in the second half of her life, but not the Rong family, and she will be ridiculed as the wife of a criminal minister until she dies, ...... Would you like to? ”
"You have been loyal and brave all your life, you have killed countless enemies, you have blood-stained territory, dozens of wounds on your body, and you have lost fear for the enemy country, and after you died unjustly, the enemy applauded and raised a large army to come and kill my people and occupy my territory, you ...... Would you like to? ”
The three rhetorical questions, one sentence was colder than the other, the execution ground of thousands of people was silent, the wind also stopped, and everyone was torturing their hearts in silence.
Rong Hao held his head high and looked at his daughter, the three "can you be willing" smashed over one by one like a boulder, making his heart that he had planned to die in a hurry suddenly come back to life, and the blood in his body boiled again, and thousands of troops and horses rushed in his chest.
The emperor sat on the prison platform, looking at the woman standing opposite, tall but straight as a pine, his tone was indifferent but to the point, although his eyes were calm like a lake, there were turbulent waves below. Behind her was the glow of the sun, the broken gold sunlight slowly spread, the dark marble floor was as bright as a mirror, and the dark brick cracks slowly extended like strange lines, but seemed to slowly close under her feet.
Her face was calm, and she asked three heart-wrenching questions without excitement, but her eyes were deeper and deeper, and she stood there like a reef standing majestically on the seashore, or a majestic mountain with the sun on her chest.
Rong Hao took a deep breath, he opened his mouth, as if he had used all his strength, and roared in a majestic voice: "Holy Lord! The minister is wronged! ”
Everyone suddenly closed their eyes, and their heartbeats accelerated inexplicably, for the trance that they looked at the woman just now, and for the old man's bloody grievances at this moment.
The emperor was also thinking about the question just now, Princess Ning was so clear and calm, could it be ...... Is the Rong family really wronged? His brow furrowed tightly.
"Wronged?" When the prince saw it, he secretly screamed in his heart, and he said coldly: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are wronged?" ”
"Dare to ask His Highness what evidence can prove his father's guilt?" Rong Xi said tightly without a moment's pause.
"Hmph, Rong Hao's letter of fornicating with the enemy country is proof!" The prince said with a sneer.
"But my father's handwriting?"
“…… No, but there is a private seal! ”
"So what? Private seals can also be forged or stolen! ”
The conversation between the two people was very fast, and the other people listened to it with a string in their hearts, and their eyes turned back and forth on Rong Xi and the prince.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to give up the title of Princess Ning to keep their father's innocence, please ask the emperor to give the courtiers a chance!" Rong Xi suddenly knelt down.
For a modern person, especially for Rong Xi, it is really not an easy thing to bend her knees, what she admires in her bones is the concept of equality and the mode of getting along, and she has never had the idea of being inferior, and now, she kneels.
The others didn't understand the meaning of the kneeling, but a man not far behind him did.
The man was sitting on a horse, he was wearing a golden armor court robe, his face was hidden in the light and shadow, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he vaguely felt that the anger emanating from his body made people's hearts cold.
"This damn woman......" he gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, what did she just say? Willing to give up the identity of Princess Ning? What does that mean? What is Princess Ning's identity in her eyes? If you want it, if you want it, if you want to give it up? jokes, that also depends on whether the king is willing or not!
He urged his horse to come up, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, his golden armor made a sound peculiar to iron, and the hair of the BMW under him flew up, and in a blink of an eye he was under the beheading platform.
Everyone looked sideways, a person wearing a golden armor came from the sun, one step seemed to carry the sunlight and wind and clouds behind him, a slightly murderous aura emanated from the body, a face was heroic, a pair of long eyebrows pressed under the golden helmet, the eyes were burning and shining, when the eyes turned, even the daylight seemed to be dimmed, and the compelling brilliance made people's hearts jump.
King Ning, the god of war, is also repaired.
"Father, the son is willing to protect the Rong family in the name of King Ning." His voice is loud and sound.
Rong Xi didn't turn his head to look at him, but closed his eyes slightly, there seemed to be a warm current in his heart, and a hard place was also softened, and the layers of ice slowly melted away, revealing a small pure land, like dew drops moistening the tip of the grass, and suddenly spring came.
Leng Yixiu's gaze swept over Rong Xi's back like a needle, this woman ...... Fortunately, she arrived at the critical time, otherwise, what would she have said?
Rong Hao turned his head to look at Leng Yixiu, he hadn't seen King Ning for a long time, and he hadn't seen him since he and Xi'er got married, I heard that ...... He seems to have a soft spot for Qiu'er, so he doesn't love Xi'er very much, as a father, he is also flesh and blood, he can't say anything, but he is worried about Rongxi's life.
Now it seems...... Rong Hao pursed his lips and smiled, God treats me well.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" The emperor squinted slightly, looking at his son.
"Erchen knows." Leng Yixiu replied without hesitation.
The prince was overjoyed in his heart, this younger brother of King Ning has always been his confidant, but he is calm, advanced and retreated, and there is no obvious mistake, this time...... He sent it to the door himself!
"Father, he dares to disobey your orders," said the crown prince, "your heavenly might cannot be offended, and they are really bold enough to contradict you again and again, and their sins are unforgivable!" ”
"Father," Leng Yixiu took a step forward, "Erchen thinks that General Rong is loyal to the country, fights on the battlefield, and has meritorious service to the country, but his father's grace is vast, and he is not thin on the Rong family, please think about it, why did he betray?" ”
