Chapter Ninety-Six: A Lifetime of Yellow Dreams

Zijin took Gongsun Ling back to Youlan Palace and asked him to sleep with her for the time being tonight, after all, if this kind of thing happened, Zijin didn't worry about sending Gongsun Ling to anyone's palace, so he simply brought him back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Ting Lan took care of everything, she brought a quilt and spread it on the chaise longue, and walked to Zijin's side, "The county lord left the third prince here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Ting Lan glanced at the sleeping Gongsun Ling and said, "The old prince said that the county lord was not allowed to have too close contact with these princes. ”

"I know, but I can't die without help, he has always taken care of me, and this time I will return him a favor."

Tinglan's expression was a little complicated, she watched Zijin grow up, knowing that Zijin had no mother since he was a child, and the old prince Lin was also extremely strict with Zijin, and many times some of the discipline methods used were difficult for adults to accept, this poor child gritted his teeth and survived, and now he doesn't look like a child at all.

Zijin's fingers curled up, and Gongsun Ling's hand clenched Zijin's hand even harder, and kept saying things like "Mother don't leave me."

Zijin slowly squatted down and gently stroked Gongsun Ling's forehead with his other hand, which was an action that Gongsun Ling's mother would do to Gongsun Ling every time.

This method really worked, and Gongsun Ling's originally tightly knit brows slowly stretched.

Tinglan couldn't help but soften when she watched from the sidelines, thinking that she was really a poor child.

In order not to wake up Gongsun Ling, Zijin sat on the edge of the bed and let Gongsun Ling hold her hand all night.

Gongsun Ling told Zijin that after the palace banquet, he walked through the hundred gardens with his mother, Xiao Guifei stopped his mother, Gongsun Ling sensitively noticed that his mother's expression was a little strange at that time, Xiao Guifei said that she had something to talk to Gongsun Ling's mother, and Gongsun Ling's mother ordered the palace people to take him away first, but as soon as he walked not far away, he heard a quarrel.

Gongsun Ling ran back to the original place despite the obstruction of the palace people, but saw that his mother was covered with blood, and Xiao Guifei was holding a dagger in her hand, which was stained with blood, he knew that it was the blood of her mother, and the palace people behind him covered Gongsun Ling's mouth in time to prevent him from being discovered.

He watched his mother die in front of him, Xiao Guifei ordered someone to arrest him, and the palace people took Gongsun Ling to hide behind the rockery, and told him to stay where he was, not to make a sound, but he walked out and led all the people of the concubine away, so as to save Gongsun Ling's life.

Zijin walked into the side hall of the Taiji Palace, the emperor pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, and saw that Zijin's original sad face eased a lot, and he still had a shallow smile.

The emperor's favor for Zijin has reached the level of jealousy of the harem concubines, Xiao Guifei said to her a few days ago that her eyes are very similar to the previous one, in fact, Xiao Guifei just wants Zijin to know, don't think about what you shouldn't think, even if you live in Youlan Palace, it's just relying on those eyes.

Zijin has been grinding for the emperor in the side hall, and occasionally the emperor will ask her about some trivial things in life. She replied modestly that Gongsun Ling's mother was killed, but she only said that it was an assassin, and the emperor had no intention of investigating it.

"Han Lian, I heard that the third child has been in your palace for the past few days?" The emperor's tone was gentle, like an ordinary father talking to his children.

"Yes." This year, Zijin is also used to the emperor's attitude towards herself, but she will always remind herself that after all, she is surrounded by high-ranking people in Tianyu, not ordinary predecessors.

The emperor nodded, "You are indeed the safest there, the third child bothered you." ”

Zijin smiled slightly and looked extremely well-behaved, but the emperor's next words made Zijin completely see the emperor.

The emperor picked up the piece from the side, opened it, looked at it and said to Zijin: "Mother is a lot of losers, it's okay to do this, wait for me to send someone to send him to the Queen Mother's Changle Palace, it's not appropriate to always live with you." ”

Gongsun Ling's mother concubine for so many years, in the end, she only got a sentence of a loving mother and a defeated son, Zijin connected her eyes, "Yes." ”

Zhao Gonggong, the eunuch beside the emperor, happened to walk in at this moment, glanced at Zijin beside the emperor, and immediately reported to the emperor respectfully, "Your Majesty, Gongzi Rong has arrived." ”

"Pass him in." The emperor stopped the memo that was being reviewed in his hand, looked at Zijin, and said with a doting look in his eyes: "Hanlian, you go down first." ”

"Yes." Zijin slowly stood up and walked out of the side hall with Gonggong Zhang.

Rong Gongzi stood next to the hall, and when he saw Gonggong Zhang come out, he stepped forward and asked, "Gonggong Zhang, would Your Majesty want to see me?" ”

Gonggong Zhang smiled diligently, "Gongzi Rong is serious, Your Majesty announced that you will see you immediately." ”

Rong Gongzi's originally tense nerves immediately relaxed a lot, and he yelled at Father-in-law Zhang, "Thank you, Father-in-law Zhang." ”

Zijin kept watching Rong Gongzi disappear from view, and was slightly stunned, at this time, Gonggong Zhang called several times, and Zijin reacted.

Zijin never expected that the time he saw Rong Gongzi would be the last time.

In the early spring of the thirty-second year of Yonghui, Zijin remembered very clearly, she just woke up and heard the news that Rong Gongzi was imprisoned for rebellion and that Rong's mansion was seized.

The emperor ordered Gongzi Rong and Prince Lin to go to Nanling to quell the rebellion, why is it now that the son of the Rong family is a henchman of the king of Nanling, this is too strange.

Later, Zijin collected some clues about this matter everywhere, because this matter is not only related to the entire Rong family, but also related to the emperor, and she remembers the emperor's kindness to Zijin, so she has to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

The Rong family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and they have made immortal contributions when the country was founded, and the Rong family has always been cautious, how could they suddenly say that they would rebel.

After half a month, Zijin continued to collect evidence everywhere, and finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Rong Gongzi's cousin once married the sister of King Nanling, and the two families were originally in-laws.

In the thirty-first year of Yonghui, at the end of the year, the king of Nanling was killed for rebellion, and many people were implicated and executed, but the emperor did not anger the Rong family because of the loyalty of the Rong family in the past dynasties, but also because of the meritorious service of Rong Gongzi's rehabilitation, and the emperor continued to praise him.

Just when the Rong family was proud again, someone accused Rong Gongzi and his cousin of being the same henchmen of the King of Nanling, but the emperor once again stood on the side of the Rong family and specially pardoned the Rong family's guilt.

A month ago, a man who claimed to be King Nanling's subordinate suddenly appeared in the imperial city, found Prime Minister Su Cheng at that time, and confessed that Rong Gongzi's cousin had a close relationship with King Nanling, and had shielded King Nanling many times, turning a blind eye to King Nanling's rebellion.

This confession was handed over to the emperor by Prime Minister Su Cheng, and the emperor was furious when he saw it, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the subordinate, including Rong Gongzi's cousin.

The emperor has always hated betrayal, and every incident implicated by King Nanling happened to touch the emperor's biggest taboo.

At the same time, the Imperial Doctor played the impeachment of Rong Gongzi. And the subordinates of Prince Lin, who were originally rehabilitated, also accused Rong Gongzi and King Nanling of bribes to each other.

The evidence is conclusive, Rong Gongzi knew about the rebellious conspiracy of King Nanling but did not expose the report, which was really ill-intentioned and rebellious.
