Chapter 107: Xiao Rong's End
Xiao Rong was completely awake before the arrival of the imperial doctor, no longer in a daze, his eyes were not in a daze, he was just weak.
Xiao Rong felt that he was too self-righteous, so complacent that he really crossed the bottom line of the monarch and ministers, now it's okay, retribution is coming, I don't know what the emperor will do, and at the moment when Yiwang is favored, he has the worst plan.
Although the Wing King said that he did not deal with himself because of the past, every word of the Wing King cut to the point, piercing his heart, Xiao Rong suffered a lot of blows, most of the reason was that he looked down on the Wing King, he was not wronged when he lost, the problem was all on his own body, and he dug a pit to bury himself, which shows how stupid he is.
His starting point is good, but he can't suppress the selfish measurement, the Wing King is really the best, Xiao Rong is willing to admit this now, or after a big fall.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has the emperor's unique vision and cultivated talents, has grown into a pearl that should be proud of as the emperor expected, Xiao Rong really wants to cry at this moment to vent the sadness in his heart.
Not only did he lose his career with a single thought, but the Murong family and the Luo family would also be blamed, and the relationship between master and apprentice that had just been established was probably difficult to maintain, Xiao Rong was self-aware, and it was not the third prince who missed the calculation but the Yiwang.
Xiao Rong didn't expect that the relationship between the three princes and the winged king was not only brother and sister, but with the arm of the countryman, he had taught the three princes for thirteen years, and he couldn't say that he knew all about the temperament of the three princes, and he could still see a few points, so he would have such thoughts.
In Xiao Rong's eyes, the Wing King has been cunning and hateful since he was a child, and often refutes the words of the sage, and it is reasonable to dislike her.
Xiao Rong sighed lightly, all kinds of replays of the past are vivid, and he was full of spirit at that time, taking the words of the saint as the benchmark. The emperor appreciated his talent and specially assigned him to be a teacher today, what a glory it was at that time. Now I also remember my original feelings and ask myself to teach the three princes well. At that time, he was grateful for the grace of the saint and tried his best to teach the three princes, but with the Winged King, the three princes would not only listen to what they taught, and the three princes learned to compare the whimsical words of the Winged King, take its essence and remove its dross, and I don't remember what kind of expression he was at that time.
"Daddy's Doctor has arrived." The butler hurriedly ran over to interrupt Xiao Rong's thoughts.
"Master Li Gonggong is also here." The butler said that Gonggong Li can only be Li Desheng, the most useful eunuch chief by the emperor's side.
Xiao Rong trembled up and down when he heard the three words of Gonggong Li, the time to come has finally come, and he can't wait for tomorrow.
"Help me up." Xiao Rong spoke. He can't lie down to receive orders, he can still move, and he still wants to maintain his last dignity.
"Daddy, you're sober!" The housekeeper stepped forward to help Xiao Rong sit up, his eyes slightly red with joy in his heart.
"Lord Xiao." Li Desheng came with the imperial doctor, and the reason why he came was by himself. is to leave Xiao Rong with the last face.
"Father-in-law Li." Xiao Rong wanted to go down to the ground to receive the decree, but he didn't see Gonggong Li having the holy decree in his hand, and he was stunned and couldn't guess why.
"Lord Xiao will let the Imperial Doctor take a look at the condition first." Li Desheng gave way to the side and motioned for the imperial doctor to come forward to check the pulse.
"There's Dr. Lao." Xiao Rong didn't refuse, and stretched out his hand to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse.
"Lord Xiao is polite." The imperial doctor put two fingers on Xiao Rong's wrist and carefully checked the pulse.
"Most of the depressed qi in Lord Xiao's heart has dissipated, and there is nothing else. Just meditate and recuperate, and it will be good to relax. The imperial doctor said: "Xiaguan prescribes some warm and tonic decoction, and Lord Xiao remembers to take it." ”
"Gonggong Li......" Xiao Rong was anxious and eager to know the emperor's ruling on him.
"Lord Xiao is at ease." Li Desheng sent the housekeeper and the imperial doctor out, and some words should not be heard by too many people.
"Lord Xiao, can you know why the emperor is so sad when he learns about Lord Xiao." Li Desheng stared at Xiao Rong's eyes and didn't give the other party a trace of escape.
"Your Majesty ......" Xiao Rong was embarrassed for a while.
"Lord Xiao is such a smart person, the emperor trusts Lord Xiao, but what does Lord Xiao repay the emperor?" Li Desheng's words sharply pointed out that Xiao Rong should not cross the bottom line of the monarch and minister.
"The minister is guilty. The minister is willing to bear the consequences. Xiao Rong couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly got out of bed and knelt on the ground, tears of regret streaming down his face.
Li Desheng deeply spurned Xiao Rong's behavior, despised His Royal Highness, and wanted to achieve his own goals in the name of the third prince. Now come and pretend to be pitiful, what are you doing earlier?
"Lord Xiao is also a person who has gone through strong winds and waves, a veteran figure who has gone through two dynasties, he is smart and transparent, and he has won the sacred heart, and sometimes he is indeed smart but is mistaken by cleverness, and he despises the emperor's affection for Lord Xiao."
"Death to the minister." Xiao Rong already knew that he was wrong, he was very wrong, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it, and the emperor's intention of ordering Gonggong Li to come was obvious.
"The emperor remembers the feelings of the past, and hopes that Lord Xiao will reflect on his mistakes." Li Desheng gradually got to the point, "Lord Xiao is too old to work too hard, Lord Xiao has reached the age of teasing his grandson, can Lord Xiao understand what the emperor means?" "It's so clear that if Xiao Rong still doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, no one can save him, there is a sentence how to say, the old birthday star hanged himself for a long time.
Xiao Rong was stunned there, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't spit out a word, and a hoarse voice sounded for a long time: "The emperor let the ministers, let the ministers give their respects." "It's not a question but an affirmation, the emperor's words are clear, don't let yourself participate in court politics, only allow yourself to be at home, isn't that what it means.
"Since Lord Xiao understands, Lord Xiao should know what to do tomorrow morning." Li Desheng said again: "The emperor remembered the old feelings and saved face for Lord Xiao, which is already benevolent and righteous. ”
"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Xiao Rong couldn't but accept the holy oracle, which was already a few points better than he thought, at least saving the lives of the family.
Li Desheng deliberately warned before leaving, "It's good that Master Xiao knows how to be measured, don't be smart." Remind Xiao Rong not to play tricks.
"I don't dare." Xiao Rong smiled bitterly, in his current situation, how can he sing against the emperor, except for looking for death, he doesn't have to think about it.
"In this way, Lord Xiao is a good student." After Li Desheng conveyed the emperor's holy will, he took the imperial doctor back to the palace to resume his life.
After Xiao Rong waited for Li Desheng to leave, he collapsed to the ground. His eyes looked out of the door blankly, and his heart that had not been calm for a long time was cold, and his holy will was unpredictable, it was really unpredictable. I know too much, the secrets of the royal family are too heavy, bending my spine, and there is no possibility of straightening, and it is more difficult to suffer than to die.
The next morning, after the political affairs, Xiao Rong stood up and knelt down, imploring the emperor to go home, on the grounds that he was old and frail and in good spirits.
Mu Haoyu and Xiao Rong staged a drama to retain and plead with the monarch and ministers before agreeing to Xiao Rong's request.
Xiao Rong's invitation to Zhishi did not cause an uproar, because Xiao Rong was indeed old. The eighty-year-old veterans of the two dynasties have only a few in the court, and they can be counted on one hand.
Xiao Rong's Zhishi has given many people a chance to come out, and the vacant positions must always be filled, and no one will doubt the reason why Xiao Rong suddenly became a leader. Except for Murong Rui and Luo Changhe.
The era of Xiao Rong's scholar of the Hanlin Academy has receded, and no one will remember this emperor after a few years.
Murong Rui turned his head slightly to look at Luo Changhe, Luo Changhe also happened to look at Murong Rui's place, and the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, and they were separated by a touch, and the meaning in their eyes was clear.
After the court dispersed, Murong Rui and Luo Changhe slowed down and walked behind the courtiers. The two met and exchanged glances at each other, and without saying a word, Luo Changhe and Murong Rui left first.
Murong Rui did not leave after Luo Changhe left, but waited outside the hall, and the Wing King and the third prince were still talking in the main hall, and what he had to wait for was the two of them.
Mu Jinming came out together. Seeing that Murong Rui had been waiting for a long time, the two looked at each other tacitly, knowing the reason why Murong Rui had come up.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Wing King." Murong Rui knelt down, and how many pairs of eyes in the palace stared. A little wind and grass will fall into the ears of those who have a heart, and you need to be extra cautious in your behavior in the palace.
"What?" Mu Jinming asked casually.
"Xiaguan Daigou apologizes to His Royal Highness the Third Prince and King Wing." Murong Rui took a deep look again, "I also hope that His Royal Highness the Third Prince and King Yi can appreciate their faces." "I was going to invite the Wing King alone, but the three princes happened to be there, and I couldn't ignore it, and offended the three princes, so it was better to invite each other, one was to make amends, and the other was to observe whether the relationship between the two was really as close as the son said.
Mu Jinming went to look at her side and asked her what she meant.
"When?" It is not easy for parents to be for their children, it is not unsatisfactory, as long as she abides by her duty, she is willing to give one more chance.
Murong Rui didn't expect King Yi to agree so quickly, and replied, "There will be a banquet at Xiaguan's house tomorrow night." "I didn't wait in vain.
"Hmm." I think it's okay, and it's okay to go once if I have nothing to do.
"Alright, you can go back." Mu Jinming gave permission and left with him.
Murong Rui's heart fell, his whole body was extremely relaxed, and he left the palace and returned home with a smile on his face.
Murong Rui returned home and just sat down and suddenly thought of one thing, he still doesn't know what the Wing King's preferences are, as for the gift first, the next day is the day of the banquet, the Wing King's preferences are particularly important, if the food is not suitable, it will not attract the Wing King's conjecture, Murong Family apologizes but can't do it, how can it be good.
Murong Xuan was so anxious that he was all over the house, and now it was too late to send someone out to inquire, if he was known by the Wing King, he didn't know which way he would think, and he was in trouble for a while, and his brows were tight enough to kill flies.
was studying in Murong Rui's frowning, Murong Xuan arrived, and when he entered the door, he saw his father with an uneasy face, puzzled, what was wrong?
"You ......" Murong Rui's face instantly turned happy when he saw his son, why did he forget that his son had seen the Wing King eat, and he might be able to find a way from this.
"Huh?" Murong Xuan couldn't understand why his father, who had a bitter face before, suddenly became excited.
"Did you notice the dishes on the Wing King's table that time in Fengyang Tower?" Murong Rui asked what was in his heart in one breath.
"Dishes? Wing King? Murong Xuan knew in an instant, his father was worried about the banquet of the Wing King.
"Yes, yes, it's the dish, have you noticed anything else?" Murong Rui asked eagerly.
"I didn't pay much attention to the dishes." How could Murong Xuan see it so meticulously at that time.
"Tomorrow night, the Wing King will go to the banquet with the three princes in the same mansion." Murong Rui said with a big problem, "It is always the best choice for the guests and hosts, and whether the dishes are suitable or not is the most important." ”
Murong Xuan was slightly surprised, "The Wing King agreed?" "It's not that I'm hallucinating, I always feel too light, and I'm not sure.
"What's that look on your face?" Murong Rui said angrily: "Thinking too much and delaying judgment, I have long warned you to guard against arrogance and rashness, analyze everything thoroughly, and not be biased towards the two extremes of good and bad." ”
"Daddy taught me a lesson." Murong Xuan immediately admitted his mistake and had a good attitude.
"Forget it. Now is not the time to talk about this. Murong Rui waved his hand irritably, and then asked, "You really don't remember what dishes were ordered on the Wing King's table at that time, even if it was the same." ”
"I want to think about it." Murong Xuan carefully recalled the situation at that time.
Murong Rui didn't dare to urge. Afraid of disturbing his son's memories, he poured tea twice in a row, so that he didn't really feel how thirsty he was.
"There it is." Murong Xuan smiled: "I remember, it seems that most of the dishes on the table that day were vegetarian. ”
"Vegetarian?" Murong Rui was puzzled, the Wing King shouldn't like to be a vegetarian at this age, he pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, what a stupid, wasn't it the Cold Food Festival at that time, what to eat if you don't eat a vegetarian.
"Daddy?" Murong Xuan saw his father's worried and happy face very strange, is this good or bad. Whether it works or not.
"Look at me, it's not the right time to ask." Murong Rui sighed, "Cold Food Festival, what a good day." ”
Murong Xuan was suddenly inexplicable when he heard this, and suddenly thought about it and understood it completely. Quite coke said: "Dad, you are sick and sick to the doctor, as long as we show sincerity, whether it is good or not, the Freedom Wing King himself will make a judgment, how can she really be dissatisfied with us because the dishes are not suitable, then she should not be the Wing King." ”
Murong Rui just wanted to reprimand his son for being rebellious, but he thought about it. That's right, that's the reason, if you can understand your preferences, is it still the mysterious Wing King?
"You have a point, I got the tip of the horns." Murong Rui is not a person who does not admit his account, if he is wrong, he is wrong, and there is nothing to hide. Besides, it was his own son who was standing in front of him, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"In my opinion, it is better to have a lighter dish, who does not have big fish and meat at home, and often eats them. I don't have an appetite just to look at, and it's better to use less greasy things at night, and the girl's family doesn't pay attention to diet. Murong Xuan said his thoughts.
"Just as you say." Murong Rui finally made a decision, his son was really smart and had unique opinions.
"By the way, you must remember that you can't think of the Wing King as a girl." Murong Rui said with a straight face: "The Wing King is the Wing King, and it has nothing to do with her identity as a woman. ”
Murong Xuan didn't understand why his father emphasized it so much, could it be that there was any secret in it, and the Wing King himself was not a woman, even if he was a woman, what was the taboo.
"Dad, did you hear something?" Murong Xuan subconsciously thought of several possibilities.
"It's okay to sue you, just let you have more eyes." Murong Rui didn't hide it, "The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace once talked about King Yi, and it reached the ears of the emperor, just because of a sentence that was neither male nor female, all the palace people present at that time were pulled out of their tongues and sent to the cold palace to do miscellaneous labor. ”
"Really?" The first time Murong Xuan heard of this kind of thing, the emperor was too protective of the Wing King, and a single sentence decided the life and death of others.
"There are not a few people who know, it is possible that some master in the palace deliberately asked the palace people to say it, as for the purpose, it is obvious." Murong Rui will not just look at the surface of things, what happens in the palace is rarely truly simple.
"The emperor's favor for the Wing King has aroused the jealousy of the ladies in the harem, I don't understand why the emperor can't be more restrained, doesn't this push the Wing King to the cusp of the storm, whether it is to favor You Sheng or attract attention." Murong Xuan's words Murong Rui also thought about it, but he still couldn't understand it until now.
Turning over the article, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the Murong Mansion is very vigilant, and the distinguished guests are about to come to the door, and they can't make the slightest mistake.
When the carriage of the three princes arrived, the housekeeper hurriedly reported at the door, and Murong Rui and his son went to greet him, only to see that the carriage of the three princes did not see the carriage or sedan chair of the Wing King, and his heart sank for a while, suspecting that the Wing King might not come.
When the third prince got out of the car, he didn't step forward, but turned around and stretched out his hand to help the other person in the car get down, but it was the winged king that Murong Rui's father and son had been looking forward to for a long time. Murong Rui's father and son wondered in their hearts, how did King Yi come in the carriage of the third prince, the two really had such a relationship along the way.
No matter what the real situation is, Murong Rui's father and son will hide their expressions without leaking, and respectfully welcome the two distinguished guests into the house.
