Volume 1 The Tumult Chapter 40 Know the Roots
"Second Highness, your temperament is gentle, which is both good and bad. If it is profitable, if His Royal Highness is a lord who guards the city, he will definitely get the reputation of a virtuous king...... But when it comes time to make a big move, this personality is your biggest hindrance. ā
When he was listening to the Yushu Palace, Taifu's comments on him seemed to be still in his ears.
Luo Yinghua shook her head helplessly, put down the bamboo umbrella and walked straight into the Zhaoyang Palace, knelt down in front of the golden platform where Chu Zhaoying's body was placed, kowtowed a few times, closed her eyes and prayed quietly, but there were thousands of thoughts in her mind.
He remembered that he was very puzzled at the time, and asked Taifu: "Character is human nature, and it cannot be changed at will...... So what should I do as I see it? ā
Taifu stroked his half-white goatee with a smile and said, "If His Highness is hesitant, you can ask His Highness Li Yao's opinion." ā
"A-Yao? She is still a child, and Taifu actually gave her such a high evaluation? ā
"Her Royal Highness Li Yao is not a man, but her thinking is often biased and breathtaking."
Luo Yinghua opened her eyes and sighed softly.
He called the little maid standing beside him and asked, "Has the princess been here before?" Where is she now? ā
Tang Jue got married, and the new emperor Luo Xizheng had no heirs under his knees, so the "princess" here can naturally only be Luo Liyao, and there is no need to specify that she is "Princess Liyao" as before.
"If you go back to Your Highness, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not feeling well, and she is now in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace." The little maid blessed her body and reminded softly, "Your Majesty is also inside." ā
"Your Majesty is also there?" Luo Yinghua frowned, "How long have they been in there?" ā
"It's been almost an hour." The little maid thought for a while, and was a little unsure, "Your Highness is not in good health and should not move, Sister Banghua and Sister Bangyue of Canglan Hall are still preparing meals for Your Highness in the small kitchen." ā
"Okay, you can stay here." Luo Yinghua nodded, and already had a thought in her heart, so she also walked towards the side hall.
Because of Chu Zhaoying's death, and then Jinluan also committed suicide by poisoning, most of the attendants and maids of Zhaoyang Hall were scattered, leaving only some high-ranking attendants who usually prayed for the spirit.
So Luo Yinghua walked all the way to the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace, and he didn't see anyone along the way.
Approaching the inner door of the side hall, there was still no one.
Since you are not feeling well, you should rest on the bed inside. Luo Yinghua thought as she walked in slowly, but faintly heard the voice of the person inside talking.
"I've already taken care of the affairs of the master's family, and you don't have to feel guilty anymore." It was Luo Xizheng's voice, "After I succeed to the throne and get the jade seal of the country, I can issue an edict...... When the time comes, I will order that everything will be as normal until the truth is found out...... When that happens, you can bring Miss Shi back...... ā
Miss Shi? When Luo Yinghua heard these three words, she couldn't help but stop.
"Ahem...... She already knows everything about the teacher's family. Luo Liyao's voice sounded a little weak, "With her temperament, she can wait until that day." ā
"There will be a day when ...... Luo Xizheng's voice softened and comforted her, "It's just that I can't figure it out, the Shi family is just a medical family, and Yu Chaotang has no influence......
"I know what you're thinking, ahem...... IāI don't really understand. Luo Liyao seemed to be smooth, "But, I guess - the biggest possibility should be who they are in the way." ā
"However, they are just a medical family, what can stand in the way?"
As soon as Luo Liyao said this, both of them fell silent.
Luo Yinghua felt that eavesdropping was a little bad, and was about to enter, but was suddenly dragged in with a force, and then was pinched by the neck and pressed against the wall.
His martial arts are not strong, and he has no strength to break free for a while, let alone fight back.
"Ahem...... Second brother? Luo Liyao was a little surprised and slowly got off the bed.
The strength that shackled Luo Yinghua suddenly loosened, and it was Luo Xizheng who let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, Yinghua." ā
"Ahem......" Luo Yinghua waved her hand, smoothed out, and then said, "It's me who is not good, and I can't speak out in time." ā
"When did the second brother come?" Luo Liyao hurriedly went to help him, but her eyes were staring at him tightly, "Have you gone to worship the queen mother?" ā
"Ahem...... Naturally, the queen came to look for you after worshipping the mother. Luo Yinghua rubbed her neck that was pinched out of red marks, and her voice was a little dumb, "Is your body better?" ā
"Much better." Luo Liyao glanced at Luo Xizheng quietly, but saw that he looked noncommittal, "Is there anything wrong with the second brother looking for me?" ā
"It's a big deal...... Luo Yinghua paused, glanced at Luo Liyao in front of him, and then at Luo Xizheng, who was a few steps away with an indifferent expression, as if he had made up his mind, before he said slowly, "Ah Jinghe...... A rebellion is being planned. ā
Luo Xizheng's eyes suddenly had a bit of fierceness.
Luo Liyao was stunned and said, "How did the second brother know about this?" ā
He sent a letter to the Leping Temple...... Because there are many rebellious words written in the letter, and now I have burned it. Luo Yinghua didn't look at Luo Liyao's expression, but turned to Luo Xizheng, "Big brother, no matter what the battle for the eldest son is, I didn't think about robbing you of the throne...... Ah Jing, he is just a childish moment, and he is just uneasy for me. ā
Luo Xizheng raised his eyebrows and was silent.
"I decided to tell you about this today, and I was prepared that Ah Jing would definitely fail." Luo Yinghua thought about it for a while, but was still going to hide the matter of the fragrant shark candle tears on the letterhead, and said earnestly, "He has the tiger talisman of the royal family in his hand, and this time he has made a big mistake...... It's just that I still hope that the eldest brother can be magnanimous and protect his life for the sake of the same family. ā
"Yinghua...... I don't understand what you're saying. Do you know that if Yuanjing succeeds, won't I die directly without a place to bury? Luo Xizheng looked at him, his expression was not serious, but it inexplicably made Luo Yinghua feel that he was very serious, "If he makes a mistake, he will save his life, but what if I make a mistake?" will only lose the hearts of the government and the opposition, and be pointed to the backbone and said that it is really the son of the concubine who is embarrassed...... ā
Luo Liyao was silent.
Luo Xizheng had promised her that she would leave Luo Yuanjing's life behind, and she believed that he would not break his promise.
But now he didn't let go of Luo Huanhua directly, he just wanted to get something from Luo Huanhua's mouth, such as a promise about something.
"No, it's not." Yinghua hurriedly shook her head and explained, "Ah Jing, he ...... There is no chance of winning. ā
"You have so much faith in me?" Luo Xizheng smiled a little, "You also know that the tiger talisman of the royal family is in Yuanjing now, and I don't have any military power in my hands." ā
"Mengjia." Luo Yinghua looked at him, "What I can think of, eldest brother and A-Yao must have thought of it a long time ago." ā
Mongol family.
Luo Xizheng and Luo Liyao glanced at each other, and Luo Liyao nodded lightly at him.
"I'm afraid it's still not that easy...... Could it be that Yuan Jing didn't think about the Meng family? Luo Xizheng pondered for a moment, "But Meng Yan's attitude is not easy to say." ā
"He won't help the third brother." Luo Liyao tidied up the inconspicuous folds on her clothes and came to a conclusion.
"The minister can't help His Highness." Meng Yan silently took the teacup from the maid on the side and placed it on the table in front of Luo Yuanjing.
Luo Yuanjing had expected his attitude, and he was not in a hurry, so he slowly picked up the teacup, tasted it unhurriedly, and said strangely: "The taste of this tea is a little familiar, as if I have tasted it somewhere." ā
Meng Yan: "...... ā
"Don't talk about this, General Meng really doesn't think about my proposal? Although the Meng family is Tianqi's leading family, General Meng is not touched on either side now...... Luo Yuanjing glanced at the turquoise tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and rarely showed a patient smile, "In the end, no matter what, the Meng family is not pleasing to both sides." ā
"This is not to bother His Highness." Meng Yan's attitude was not softened by what he said, "But...... Could it be that His Highness is determined to do this? ā
"What? But even if you go and tell Luo Xizheng now, he can't stop me. Luo Yuanjing didn't care, as if he had already expected it in his heart, "And if I were him, I would also wait for the day of action...... Not to mention what a head-to-head battle is, but it is also the best time for him to take the offer. ā
"The best time?" Meng Yan secretly glanced at the corner and frowned, "Could it be that the Third Highness has to do it?" ā
"yes...... For either side, it's the best time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Luo Yuanjing was finally willing to put down the teacup in his hand, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since General Meng has no intention of joining, and he is not a person along the way, then I will leave." ā
As soon as the words fell, Luo Yuanjing didn't wait for him to reply, waved his hand and walked straight out.
Meng Yan: "......"
Meng Yan: "How long are you going to hide there?" Come out. ā
"Brother." Meng Mo silently moved out of the corner, a little about to stop, "Third Highness, he is ......"
"To tell the truth, Your Royal Highness is asking for your own death." Meng Yan sighed, looking at his sister's eyes with a very unclear meaning, "I know what you're thinking, and I know that I can't persuade you to be stubborn, it's just - I hope you can think about giving birth to you and raising your family." ā
Meng Bi: "......"
Meng Bi: "How do you know that the Third Highness must have killed himself?" ā
"Do you still expect him to succeed? Look at this. Meng Yan pulled out a neatly folded letterhead from the folder of a book on the table, "I don't know where the letter came from." ā
"Someone has known about this for a long time, and is planning to use this ......" Meng Bi looked at it carefully, and a chill ran through his body, "to ...... Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? His Royal Highness, he-"
"Obviously the two sides know each other, but he decided to do it anyway." Meng Yan touched her head, trying to stabilize her emotions, "This is the path he has chosen, and we are not qualified to sway him." ā
