Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heading to the Summer Mansion
Rongwang's Mansion
"Prince Rong came to visit in person, which is really ashamed." Yan Rong said.
"The general was injured, and Rong Zhi was worried, so I came to take a look, and when I saw that the general's complexion was fine, then I was relieved." Rong Zhi said with a smile.
"Master Rong, we are not related to you, even if Ah Rong is injured, what does it have to do with you?" Nangong Li walked in with a fan and said.
"Lord Rong's words are wrong, General Yan and I are also friends, so I am naturally worried." Rong Zhi looked at Nangong Li dressed in white brocade, his black hair was half-held with a hosta, and his expression of disdain seemed to blame himself for disturbing the two of them.
"Husband, got up, don't you want to rest more?" Yan Rong asked.
"If you don't want to sleep for too long at noon, people are easy to be lazy, who knows that some people don't rest at home at noon, and come to other people's houses to do something." Nangong Li said deliberately.
"Lord Wang, I said, I'm here to visit the general." Rong Zhi still said with a good temper.
"Master Rong, you should have something to do this time!" Yan Rong put aside his words and said. I don't know what's wrong with Nangong Li today, it's wrong to speak in the East Palace, and now it's also yin and yang weird to talk to Rong Zhi.
"It's nothing, I just want to send a letter to the general, in a few days it will be Rong Zhi's birthday, my father doesn't want to make a big deal, just invite the people in the family plus some of my good friends, so I want to invite the general to go, okay?" Rong Zhi said with a smile.
"It's really unfortunate that the eldest prince Rong's birthday, we may not have a way to go, because on the birthday of the eldest prince, our family made an appointment to go horseback riding in the suburbs, which is really unfortunate." Nangong Li said.
"General, would you like to appreciate your face?" Rong Zhi ignored what Nangong Li said, but continued to ask Xiang Yanrong.
"This ......" Yan Rong was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he couldn't save Rong Zhi's face, but he couldn't make Nangong Li ugly.
"The eldest prince of Rong should indeed be congratulated on his birthday, but he promised Nangong first, and he couldn't go to Yan Rong, but Yan Rong would send a congratulatory gift to his husband, and Yan Rong would congratulate him here in advance." Yan Rong saluted.
"It's okay, if the general wants to come to the house, he can come at any time." Rong Zhi smiled and said.
"There are still a lot of things to do with Rong Zhigongzi these days, and I am tired." Yan Rong said.
"Don't bother, since I see that the general is fine, I am relieved, so I won't bother the general." Rong Zhi didn't glance at Nangong Li next to him during the whole process, and then left.
"Why, do you have clairvoyance or ears, didn't you just lie down, why did you get up, is there anything big." Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li with a smile and said.
"Isn't this a big deal, who is Rong Zhi, he is my opponent, I tell you, don't get too close to him, this man is full of ghost ideas in his heart." Nangong Li said with a look of disgust.
"I know, if he hadn't told the emperor this time that you would also follow Chen Guan to participate in the matter, the emperor would not have known." Yan Rong said with understanding.
"Don't talk about him, you're doing well today, what's the matter, don't you really want to go to someone's son's birthday?" Nangong Li said deliberately.
"No, how nice it would be to follow your husband on an outing and horseback riding."
"Do you really think so?"
"Absolutely."
Pear Fall Palace
"Your Majesty, I heard that General Yan is injured?" Xia Rou was rubbing the emperor's shoulders, and the emperor closed his eyes and didn't enjoy it.
"You know that, too? I heard Yu'er say that the injury to her face is not light, but she doesn't have to worry too much, Li Er will take care of her. The emperor said.
"Yes, the concubine just thinks that Yan Rong came from the battlefield, and there are many injuries on her body, but now she has come to the capital, but she is still seriously injured, it is really ....." Xia Rou did not finish.
"I know your concerns, I will take strict precautions, our capital seems to be calm, but in fact, I don't know how many dangers, fortunately I have such a big general by my side, otherwise, I would not be able to sit on the throne." The emperor took Xia Rou's hand and said.
'Your Majesty, the concubine wants to take a look at her face, and she wants to see it every time, but she is still delayed because of some things, and the concubine is really worried in her heart. Xia Rou said.
"In this case, I remember that day Yu'er proposed to go horseback riding in the suburbs, or we will go together at that time, and we will not put on a royal shelf, so we will go for a family together." The emperor patted Xia Rou's hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Rou finally laughed.

Xia Fu
"We're here anyway." Yan Rong stood at the door of the Xia Mansion and said to Nangong Yu.
"What should come will come eventually." Nangong Yu also sighed.
"That's right. You're not in good shape, so you don't need to be in such a hurry. Nangong Yu said.
"I'm fine, it's all because Nangong Li is too careful, according to his idea, I have to lie in bed for half a year before he is willing." Yan Rong said.
"Yes, it can be seen that Prince Rong is very worried about the general's body." Rong Zhi also came over and said.
"Alright, let's go in and get down to business." Yan Rong exhaled and said.
"General, why are you here, I'll go and tell the old lady." Yan Rong knocked on the door and came out of the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, the housekeeper naturally knew Yan Rong, and when he saw that Yan Rong was coming, he hurriedly ran to tell him.
"Xiao Rong is here?" Xia Linfeng was fiddling with flowers and plants in the courtyard, and when he heard that the housekeeper said that Yan Rong was coming, he directly threw down the flowers and came to the outside of the house.
"Uncle Xia, I ......."
"What's the matter, so many people?" Xia Linfeng walked to the door and was startled when he saw this kind of battle.
"Uncle Xia, don't worry, we're just here to check the situation, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong." Yan Rong said.
"Don't deceive the old man, you are the emperor personally ordered by the emperor to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, my Xia Linfeng has a bright and upright life, others don't know your face?" Xia Linfeng said a little angrily.
"Uncle Xia, Yan Rong didn't mean this, I didn't want to bother you, but you probably also knew about Chen Guanzhi!" Yan Rong continued.
Chen Guanzhi ...... Don't stand outside the door, the province will attract unnecessary eyes from everyone, come into the house with me! Xia Linfeng lowered his eyes and thought about it and said.
"Okay." Yan Rong gave the two people behind him a look, and they all followed.
'I'm not afraid of you checking, one of you is the prince of the dynasty, the other is the general of the country, and the other is the son of the prime minister, and I am old and weak naturally I can't stop you. Xia Linfeng sat on the seat and said while drinking tea.
"Uncle Xia....." Yan Rong wanted to say something.
"This is an office business, or please call the general according to the official salute." Xia Linfeng said.
Yan Rong took a sip of tea, pursed his lips, and said with a smile, "Uncle Xia's words are wrong, although it is a business matter, but in Yan Rong's heart, Uncle Xia will always be Uncle Xia, besides, Yan Rong dares to take his life to guarantee that Uncle Xia is the most honest and honest person, just like this cup of fruit tea." “
"You kid, you're still so muddy, what's the matter, it's still in front of others, your viciousness will come out, aren't you afraid that they will report you to the emperor?" Xia Linfeng just wanted to scare and scare these juniors, but who knew that he was debunked by Yan Rong.
"Uncle Xia knows that Yan Rong doesn't drink tea, this is the fruit tea brewed by Madame herself, I can drink it as soon as I drink it, besides, the three of us didn't bring the guards and soldiers, the three of us really just want to talk to you." Yan Rong gradually cut to the chase.
"The old man doesn't embarrass you, just say what you want to say." Xia Linfeng said.
"Xia Shangshu, I believe you also understand Chen Guanzhi, he is now in prison, and the reason why we came to you is also because we know that you and Chen Guanzhi are the same family, so you are also a little suspicious." Nangong Yu said.
"Yes, we are indeed a gentleman preaching, but we have not been in touch for many years, I didn't expect him to come to this point." Xia Linfeng sighed and said.
"Then Xia Shangshu, do you know what accomplices Chen Guanzhidu has, or, you haven't been in contact with him for a long time, but you have contacted him recently!" Rong Zhi asked.
"Joke, I said that if there is no contact, it is gone, and I don't know all the things he does, you can search my house and find out as soon as you check." Xia Linfeng said.
"Uncle Xia, do you know anything about the Ten Mile Temple?" Yan Rong asked.
"Shili Temple, wasn't that place burned down before?" Xia Linfeng said.
"Yes, and I went to check that place, there are a lot of books in it, and Yan Yan saw a name in the books - Xia Linfeng." Yan Rong said.
"Xiaorong, I'll tell you the truth, that's where Chen Guanzhi was treated before, everyone knows that he is the same master as me, and they all know that he has been admitted to fame, but what I don't know is that just a month before he took the fame test, he was kicked out of the Xia Mansion by my father, and he went to that broken temple when he had nowhere to go."
"When he went out, he was penniless and didn't bring anything, so I secretly sent some things to the temple, sometimes for food, drink, and use, and then I gave him books, and he was going to take the palace test in just one month, but I didn't expect him to succeed, and we became officials together, and it was from that time that we gradually broke off contact." Xia Linfeng recalled. 、
Yan Rong thought about it, Chen Guanzhi didn't say these things, seeing what Chen Guanzhi said, he missed the days very much, but Uncle Xia was very sorry, but this matter had nothing to do with the things investigated by the emperor, Yan Rong felt that it was not good to stay in the mansion too much, so he was ready to leave.
"Xiao Rong, how is Chen Guanzhi in prison?" Xia Linfeng asked by himself when they were about to leave.
"Just a dying man." Yan Rong said.
"His sins are unforgivable, but can't his son be saved?" Xia Linfeng asked.
"Uncle Xia, this is the emperor's order, although I also want to save his son." Yan Rong said with a sad face.
"Xiaorong, can I go see him?"
"Uncle Xia, you have to think clearly, there is no relationship between you, and there is Sister Rou in the palace, the emperor trusts you very much, if you go to prison at this time, you can't avoid suspicion." Yan Rong said.
"Xiaorong, help me, just let me give this old friend a ride!"
"Okay, I'll figure it out."
