Rong Chenghan has been investigating the affairs of the family temple and Hongfei these days, and the investigation has gone a little deeper, and he has been noticed by the old prince. The old prince immediately called Rong Chenghan to the study for questioning, Rong Chenghan did not hide it, and confessed what he was investigating. The old prince asked Rong Chenghan to stop and didn't let him continue the investigation. Rong Chenghan promised to say yes, but he asked the old prince to tell him his true appearance.

The father and son disagreed, and they argued. The old prince was furious, but Rong Chenghan was quite calm. Although Rong Chenghan was calm, he did not intend to give in.

"Father, the matter is important, and the son, as a member of the royal palace, has the right to know the truth/appearance. Please tell the father, otherwise, the son will continue to investigate. Rong Chenghan faced the anger of the old prince, and his face did not move, "My father has been upright all his life, and he often says that it is impossible to say to others. Is there something unspeakable about this matter? The son is not an outsider, and the father will not say anything?! ”

"You, what do you know!" Rong Chenghan's calmness also seemed to affect the old prince's feelings. The old prince's anger came quickly, and it subsided quickly. He pointed at Rong Chenghan, with a hint of anger in his tone, but more helplessness.

There is something else besides anger and helplessness. Rong Chenghan saw the old prince slowly turn his head, avoiding his gaze, and thought in his heart.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to look any further." The old prince turned around and turned his back to Rong Chenghan, but his tone was unquestionable. "If you are still a member of the palace, you still recognize me as your father."

"Fathers should convince people with reason. In plain terms, the son was not convinced. Rong Chenghan said.

"You!" The old prince turned around abruptly and looked at Rong Chenghan.

Rong Chenghan did not flinch in the slightest under the gaze of the old prince, and looked directly at the old prince.

The old prince raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, perhaps because he was too busy and hard recently, his head always had a faint pain. And the things in front of him gave him even more headaches. Three sons, three temperaments. Rong Chenghan seems to be the most promising, and he has never let him worry about anything. But among the three sons. But Rong Chenghan's temper is the most stubborn. If Rong Chenghan made up his mind, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back. He didn't become like this when he became an adult, he has been this temper since he was a child.

The old prince has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, even if he is reluctant to admit it in his heart, but he can't deceive himself. Rong Chenghan has three brothers, and his two brothers are more like their mothers, only Rong Chenghan seems to be carved out of the same mold as him, both in appearance and temperament.

However, this child is Su's biological son, and he also has Su's blood on his body. Others may not notice it yet. But the old prince saw it very clearly. In Rong Chenghan's body, there are also many places that resemble the Su family.

The father and son were arguing in the house, and Liu Ruoxi had already taken people to the front yard. Liu Ruoxi walked to the study, but the steward of the palace hurriedly came over to salute her, blocking her way.

"Madame, please stay." The steward lowered his eyebrows and said, "The old prince talked to the Hou Ye and ordered him to come down, and no one was allowed to approach." ”

Liu Ruoxi did not rush forward, but stopped.

"I can not go forward. You go and report to the king. Just say I'm here to say hello to the prince. Liu Ruoxi said.

The steward was relieved to see that Liu Ruoxi was not forceful. However, Liu Ruoxi asked him to pass it on, which made it difficult for him.

"If you don't want to, then you can't blame me." Liu Ruoxi saw the steward's face full of hesitation. But he refused to go to the study to pass the word, and immediately lowered his face. "If anything bad happens to me, you can't afford it."

Liu Ruoxi is now pregnant, and she wants to make trouble at this time. Whether it is the Su family or the old prince, they have to let her be a little wider. This steward is also an old servant of the palace, a confidant of the old prince, and a capable person who has been serving by the old prince's side. He didn't know how powerful it was.

“…… The little one was scolded by the prince desperately, and went to give a message to his wife. Please also ask the lady to take care of herself, and pity the little one. The steward thought for a moment, and then laughed with a smile.

Liu Ruoxi nodded, and said in her heart that this steward was a smart person.

"You go. …… Naturally, I won't make it difficult for you. ”

The steward went to the door of the study, but did not go into the house, but only returned to the house outside the door, saying that Mrs. Hou had come and asked the prince to say goodbye.

There was a sudden silence in the study.

Liu Ruoxi was a little nervous, if the old prince refused to take care of her at this time, it would mean that the problem was really quite strict. However, before the old prince's side could say anything, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the moon gate behind.

Liu Ruoxi turned her head slightly, and saw Rong Chengyi.

Rong Chengyi received a message from Liu Ruoxi to send the girl, and without a moment's delay, he immediately rushed over. Seeing that Liu Ruoxi was also here, Rong Chengyi was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly walked over to talk to Liu Ruoxi.

"Why are my siblings here? My younger siblings are in good health, so let's go back and rest. Here's the matter, brother and sister don't worry. Rong Chengyi smiled at Liu Ruoxi.

Almost no matter what happened, Rong Chengyi had a calm attitude.

"Big brother is here, so I naturally don't have anything to worry about." Although she said so, Liu Ruoxi's feet did not move a bit, but only signaled Rong Chengyi to hurry up and go to the study to relieve Rong Chenghan.

"You are so good to serve the third lady." Rong Chengyi smiled helplessly, and while instructing the people who followed Liu Ruoxi's service, he walked towards the study.

At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Rong Chenghan walked out of the study.

Rong Chenghan saw Liu Ruoxi at a glance, and then saw Rong Chengyi.

Liu Ruoxi saw Rong Chenghan come out, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward. Rong Chenghan also hurriedly greeted him. The two walked together, and Liu Ruoxi quickly looked Rong Chenghan up and down. Although Rong Chenghan's face was not very good-looking, there were no scars on his body.

Liu Ruoxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the old prince would lose his temper and beat Rong Chenghan.

"Let you wait in the house, how can you be disobedient." Rong Chenghan complained about Liu Ruoxi, but his tone was very gentle.

Rong Chengyi burst out laughing on the side.

Rong Chenghan turned his head to look at Rong Chengyi and called his eldest brother.

"Good brother." Rong Chengyi walked over and looked at Rong Chenghan with a smile, "You're fine, big brother is relieved." …… You shouldn't let your younger siblings worry about you so much, why did you annoy your father? ”

"Not really." Rong Chenghan denied it.

"Ahem." King Yongjing didn't know when he stood at the door of the study, and was looking at Rong Chenghan.

I heard the report from the steward outside in the house. The old prince was also taken aback. He didn't expect Liu Ruoxi to come to the study. As for what Liu Ruoxi asked people to pass on to him, of course he didn't believe it, it was obvious that Liu Ruoxi was worried about Rong Chenghan, so she rushed over to relieve Rong Chenghan.

The face of the daughter-in-law, the old prince still has to give, especially the face of the daughter-in-law who is pregnant. What's more, the old prince has always had a very good impression of this daughter-in-law.

The old prince let Rong Chenghan come out, and asked him to appease Liu Ruoxi first and send Liu Ruoxi back. The old prince was waiting for Rong Chenghan to go back in the study, and he heard Rong Chengyi's voice. The old prince came out because of this. Sure enough, I saw Rong Chengyi.

"Third brother, you go back with your younger brother and sister first. I'm going to talk to my father. Rong Chengyi said.

Rong Chenghan didn't want to agree, there were many things he still wanted to continue to ask the old prince. Moreover, he didn't want to implicate Rong Chengyi for the time being. Although he thought so, looking at Liu Ruoxi, Rong Chenghan still nodded. Liu Ruoxi's body is important, he can't let her stand like this, and he can't let Liu Ruoxi worry about him.

The old prince beckoned Rong Chengyi into the study, and turned his head to call Rong Chenghan.

"Send your daughter-in-law back. Come here, and I'll have something to say to you. The old prince's expression was extremely strict, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Rong Chenghan agreed, and took Liu Ruoxi back to Yunshuiju.

"What can I do. You shouldn't go ahead. Back in Yunshuiju and let Liu Ruoxi sit on the couch, Rong Chenghan did not rush back to the study, but said to Liu Ruoxi.

"Father has such a temper. Let me not worry. Liu Ruoxi said, "I'm just going to go over, and my father always wants to give me some face." Do you want me to watch you suffer? ”

Liu Ruoxi has a small / face. Rong Chenghan saw full of concern and maintenance on Liu Ruoxi's face. Liu Ruoxi is protecting him in her way.

"You're worried too much." Rong Chenghan only felt that his heart had softened, and he reached out and gently scraped it on Liu Ruoxi's face. "Are you still afraid that my father will beat me? Don't worry, when our brother became an adult, my father only beat the second brother. Either way, he won't do anything to me. ”

The old prince really didn't do anything to him, but just threw a treasure inkstone in anger.

"Not necessarily." Liu Ruoxi does not have such confidence as Rong Chenghan. She knows very well how the old prince lost his temper with the Su family. No matter what happened in front of people, Liu Ruoxi always secretly felt in her heart that the old prince did not love Rong Chenghan enough. Therefore, he was particularly worried that the old prince would hurt Rong Chenghan.

Saying this, Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan again. "Father called you, what is the matter?"

"I arranged for someone to investigate Hongfei's matter, which alarmed my father." Rong Chenghan said.

Let the old prince know so soon? Liu Ruoxi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she was relieved. The whole palace is full of the old prince's people. The family temple is even more confidant of the old prince, if it is just a general check, it may be kept secret. But Rong Chenghan must have investigated deeply, the old prince was able to cover up Hongfei's secret for so many years, it would be strange if he didn't notice Rong Chenghan's movements.

"What did Father say?" Liu Ruoxi asked again.

"My father was so angry that he wouldn't let me look into it any further." Rong Chenghan said, "The matter of Hongfei is not simple. ”

The old prince was unusually angry, and Rong Chenghan sniffed out a trace of strangeness from the old prince's attitude. It's just an old thing, and the old prince also knows that he is not a person who doesn't know the severity, or he doesn't let him continue to investigate, and he shouldn't be so angry.

In the anger of the old prince, there is worry hidden. The old prince wanted to hide some things and didn't want Rong Chenghan to know.

What else needs to be hidden from father and son in this matter? Why is the old prince so worried that he will continue to investigate?

The more the old prince is like this, the more determined Rong Chenghan is to investigate to the end.

"Now the eldest brother has also been implicated...... Rong Chenghan mused.

"Wouldn't that be better?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan, "Who else knows what happened at the beginning?" In this way, it is easier to find out the truth/phase. ”

Liu Ruoxi sent someone to invite Rong Chengyi, of course, she wanted to relieve Rong Chenghan. But she also had other considerations. The old prince called Rong Chenghan to go, and Liu Ruoxi was worried about Hongfei. Rong Chengyi can not only solve the siege for Rong Chenghan, but also solve the doubts for Rong Chenghan.

Now that the old prince has found out, there is no need to hide Rong Chengyi.

Rong Chenghan thought about it. I also think that Liu Ruoxi's statement is reasonable.

"You're resting, don't worry. I went to the study and talked to my father and eldest brother and came back. Rong Chenghan got up and said to Liu Ruoxi.

"Try to be tactful, and don't get into any more arguments." Liu Ruoxi instructed Rong Chenghan.

Rong Chenghan nodded in agreement and went to the front yard.

Although she wanted to rest, Liu Ruoxi was relieved, sitting on the couch and waiting for Rong Chenghan to come back, while continuing to send people to the front yard to investigate the news.

In the study room in the front yard, the old prince sat upright behind the bookcase, and the two brothers Rong Chengyi and Rong Chenghan sat opposite each other in front of the bookcase. The door of the study was closed tightly, and only the two henchmen of the old prince were guarding nearby. The rest of the people were far away.

“…… That's how it happened. Rong Chengyi said for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, and he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

The old prince leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate. Rong Chenghan listened to Rong Chengyi's words with a blink of an eye, and was silent for a long time, and Rong Chenghan asked Rong Chengyi a question again.

"If you are sure that she ordered the poison, why did you keep her?" This question is not only asked by Rong Chengyi. I'm still asking the old prince.

The old prince slowly opened his eyes.

"It's ...... I mean. Rong Chengyi replied first, "Third brother, you may not be able to understand. However, my mother died young......"

Speaking of the death of his own mother, Rong Chengyi's tone is still brisk. But the corners of the old prince's eyes twitched twice involuntarily.

"For the next few years, it was Hongfei who took care of me." Speaking of this, Rong Chengyi's tone slowed down. Rong Chenghan could hear that Rong Chengyi was talking about Hongfei. Mixed with deep and complex feelings.

“…… He is very attentive to me, and he is more affectionate and loving than he treats his second brother. When the mother concubine was alive, her health was a little bad. At that time, it was mostly Hongfei who took care of me. For me, Hong Fei is the closest person I think is second only to my father and mother. ”

But the person he thought was closest to him harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill him.

"I was aware of it, but I didn't believe it." Rong Chengyi lowered his eyelids, even after so many years, thinking of this past incident still made Rong Chengyi heartbroken.

"In the end, although it was sure to be her. My father was going to give her death, but I pleaded with him to spare her life. I'm ......" Rong Chengyi's tone was a little choked. In her childhood impression, Hong Fei was such a beautiful and gentle woman. After his mother died, it was Hongfei's meticulous care and gave him the same care as a mother.

Who would have thought that such a gentle and loving woman is actually a femme fatale.

However, even if Hongfei wanted to kill him, he couldn't watch this woman die.

It turned out that it was not the Su family who interceded, nor was the old prince merciful, but Rong Chengyi saved Hong Fei's life. Rong Chenghan was silent in thought.

"You ......" The old prince saw that Rong Chengyi was sad, so he looked at Rong Chenghan angrily, "I have already sued you, but it is just an old matter, and the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with you." It doesn't affect anything, anyone. Once you bring it up, it can only make your eldest brother sad. But you have to get to the bottom of it. ”

"If my father had been willing to say so clearly just now, I wouldn't have continued to ask." Rong Chenghan lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

The old prince sighed.

"It's the past, you shouldn't continue to worry about it, forget it." The old prince spoke to comfort Rong Chengyi.

"Yes, Father." Rong Chengyi nodded in agreement, and his feelings seemed to slowly recover.

"Big brother, you shouldn't have left Hongfei." Rong Chenghan said suddenly.

"The third brother must think that my woman is kind and indecisive." Rong Chengyi smiled bitterly, "That's right, I'm such a person." (To be continued......)
