Rong Yue and Rong Zhao stayed at the inn for a day of rest before going on the road, fortunately the snow stopped and the sky was clear, even if the cold wind was howling, there was still thick snow on the road, but the scenery covered in silver under the clear sky was enough to brighten the dull mood.

Compared with the previous captain of the guard, Rong Qiancheng, Rong Hui's umbrella is better to use, except for a little suffering in the next journey, there will be no moths appearing, and Green Cloud's injury began to slowly recover after the most uncomfortable days, Rong Yue saw that she was already able to eat, drink and laugh like a normal person, and the clouds and worries on her face gradually dispersed.

"It's really boring!" I don't know if it's the hundredth time, Rong Zhao leaned against the rickety wall of the carriage and sighed weakly.

Lan Yun said with a smile while pinching Rong Zhao's legs: "Childe, there are still ten days to go to Shangjing, the slave maid heard that Shangjing is the most prosperous ancient city in the world, and it has a history of hundreds of years.

Rong Zhao glanced at the warm smile on Lan Yun's round face, and couldn't help but reach out and flick it on her forehead: "Silly girl, although there are many powerful people there, it is also a competition for power, and people there can laugh and drink tea and chat, while stabbing each other in the back, it's not just as simple as 'fun'." ”

Lan Yun laughed quietly: "This is fun, we have been fighting with the woman in the East Courtyard for the past few years, and we really don't want to be in a hurry." ”

Rong Zhao looked at Mei Ruo next to him and asked with a smile: "This is what you taught?" ”

Mei Ruo glared at Lan Yun and said with a smile: "Childe Mingjian, the slave maid has never taught this girl this. This girl has always had a big heart, and there is no door on her mouth, so the son doesn't pay attention to her. ”

Rong Zhao smiled clearly, the twelve maids around him were carefully selected from the four who served close and the eight who were rough outside, and they were just ten years old when they were selected, and then it took six or seven years to train them one by one to what they wanted, including Mei Ruo, these thirteen girls said to the outside world that they were concubines and maids around him, but in fact, they were the most basic guarantee for Rong Zhao's foothold in this world.

It can be said that as a person who has crossed over, he does not have a strong body to practice peerless martial arts, and he has no business opportunity to build a business empire for himself, he only has these thirteen beautiful and carefully cultivated girls, which are all his family background.

"Childe! Son! Someone outside the carriage gently snapped the window.

"What's wrong?" Mei Ruo asked with a frown.

"Feng Si'er is dead." The man outside the window whispered.

"Who is Feng Si'er?" Rong Zhao frowned and asked.

Mei Ruo said in a low voice: "It's the little eunuch we brought back to talk to the bandits and wanted to harm our blood." ”

"Dead? How did he die? Grandpa Chen said that he couldn't die no matter what?! Lan Yun asked eagerly, "He's a human witness!" ”

Rong Zhao sneered: "Die now? It was kind of a surprise to me. ”

Mei Ruo opened the curtain first and waved her hand to the people outside, then turned around and asked Rong Zhao: "Son, you already knew that the little eunuch would die?" ”

Rong Zhao asked rhetorically: "Do you think they will let a living person stand in front of the emperor?" ”

"But the eldest prince ......" Lan Yun understood the reason as soon as he spoke, so he swallowed back the following words.

Rong Zhao lightly added what Lan Yun didn't say: "He naturally doesn't want me and my sister to have an accident, but he doesn't want his own mother and brother to have an accident." Therefore, there will always be a difference in the relationship in this world, and no matter how good people are to you, there is a limit. ”

"What Childe said is, we remember." Mei Ruo replied in a low voice.

The death of the little eunuch was expected for Rong Zhao, but it was a big blow to Chen Cunxiao, and he was counting on this little eunuch to clear his name in front of the emperor!

"Why did you die? Didn't you tell him yesterday to add two quilts to him, don't freeze to death?! Chen Cunxiao looked at the corpses shrunk into a ball in the prisoner car, and stomped his feet angrily.

"Father-in-law, this is also a helpless thing, not to mention the cold weather, this little eunuch himself has been injured, and our medicine is not comprehensive along the way, it is not easy for him to save his little life until today......" The person in charge of supervising the little eunuch explained to Chen Cunxiao.

"Fart!" Chen Cunxiao interrupted the other party rudely, "No one lacks his medicine!" You all know how important this person is to Lao Tzu! actually took Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear! When you get to the palace, if you ask, what do you call Lao Tzu? You're fucking losing ten heads, and that's not enough to cut off! ”

"Father-in-law spares his life, this thing is really not a small ......"

"Grandpa Chen!" Rong Hui walked over from the side, glanced at the frozen corpse in the prisoner car, and sighed: "This is also something that can't be helped, you see that it has only been sunny for a few days, and it is snowing again...... It's colder than usual this year! ”

"Even though I said that, ...... This is the only way to live! Concubine Yue was attacked for such a big matter, long live the lord asked, you and me, as well as Jingxi Hou, will not escape the ...... of involvement"

"What's going on? I heard that the little eunuch died?! There was a woman's cold voice outside the crowd, Chen Cunxiao and Rong Hui glanced at each other, and turned around helplessly.

"Oh, mother, why did you get out of the carriage on this cold day?" Chen Cunxiao stepped forward to give a salute.

Rong Yueliu's eyebrows tightened, and she only asked Rong Hui: "What's the matter?" How did you die? ”

Rong Hui glanced back at the corpse in the prisoner car, and said helplessly: "It should be frozen to death, it's too cold this day." ”

"Hmph." Rong Yue sneered and took two steps forward, but saw that the dead little eunuch's face was pale and already covered with snowflakes, and the two accompanying military doctors standing next to him were just standing indifferently, no one was willing to stretch out his hand to check on a little eunuch who had frozen to death on this cold day.

"Niangniang, what do you say about this!" Chen Cunxiao came up and asked helplessly.

"What should I do?" Rong Yue turned his head to look at Rong Hui and sneered: "Tell me the truth, do you dare to lie when the emperor asks you?" ”

"Don't you dare!" Chen Cunxiao hurriedly bowed and said, "I also asked Niangniang to show the way to the slave." ”

"There is no clear way, Your Majesty is aware of everything, I believe that he will naturally find out about this matter." After Rong Yue finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Chen Cunxiao's face was a little inexplicable for a while, and he looked at Rong Hui helplessly, Rong Hui hurriedly persuaded: "Gonggong Chen, don't be angry, my sister is such a straightforward character, she will say whatever she says in her heart, and she never disdains to beat around the bush." ”
