"Now, Hua Jun, who is still on the northern border of my Ning Kingdom, has been cut off from the back road and is isolated. Although Shuyang City is still guarded by the Chinese army, the generals who defend the city are brave and unscrupulous as far as I know, presumably as long as Qin Xi puts some effort into breaking through the gate of Shuyang City, and once Hua Jun finds that he can't hold it, it is too late to transfer troops from other border cities of Huaguo to aid the Chinese army in Shuyang City. Shuyang City has been borrowing people for a long time, and it is time to return the things to their original owners. Yuran gently stroked the soft feathers of the carrier pigeon, and said with a smile on her lips.

"Congratulations."

Rong Xi smiled naturally, and this "congratulations" can make the listener feel sincere.

Yuran smiled, picked up the carrier pigeon in both hands, and threw it out the window. Watching the carrier pigeon fly away, Yuran gently closed the window to prevent the cool breeze from penetrating in.

She walked back to the bed and sat down, and after glancing at the smiling face, her gaze moved down to his injured right arm.

"If your father had known that you had dared to do such a cruel thing to keep me, he would have laughed at you." Tamarin whispered.

"No, it won't." Rong Xun shook his head indifferently.

"Why are you so sure?" Yu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

Rong Xi chuckled, his inky black eyes flashed with a rare luster, he took Yu Ran's hand with his left hand, and said, "After all, if it was someone he sent to kill me, he will definitely find out my mind." He knows that I will only be soft for you, so as long as you wait, there will be an opportunity, even if it is an opportunity that I give it willingly. ”

"You're lying." Yu Ran brought her cheek to Rong Xian, stared into his eyes for a long time, and then said with a wink.

"Where did I lie to you?" Rong Xi smiled.

"I don't believe you're soft-hearted because of anyone." Yu Ran said firmly: "After all, how could the famous Young Master Rong mess around for a woman. Even if there were, it would be all in his calculations. ”

"Really? That sounds like the Rong Gongzi you are talking about is really a powerful person. Rong Zheng's smile was still gentle, like a lake, and it was so quiet that it was intoxicating.

"I've never seen anyone who likes to boast about themselves so much."

Rong Xi smiled silently, his eyes looked at Yu Ran, with incomparable pampering and softness, for a while it seemed that he could eliminate all the pale and sick on his face, but let people feel his happiness and brightness from the bottom of their hearts.

He let go of Yuran's hand, and instead raised his left hand to gently stroke Yuran's soft long hair, and while he stroked Yuran's hair, he turned to say, "Actually, even if he really laughs at me, it doesn't matter to me. Since he was a child, he has always treated me as a thorn in the eye, and he always tries his best to prove to me in front of me that he is right and that I am wrong. So I and him have long been incompatible, Ah Ran you know. ”

"Well, I know all of that." Yu Ran nodded, she did not avoid Rong Xian's left hand on her hair, but looked at him intently in the next moment, and said softly: "I remember, you told me your father many times. But what about your mother? It seems to me that I have never heard you mention it since I was a child. You've never seen her, but you've probably mentioned her from the people around you. ”

In fact, Yuran mentioned Rong Xi's mother, not because she accidentally remembered it now and asked, she had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never waited for an opportunity, an opportunity that would give her a reason to ask this question.

Because of Rong Xi's mother, Yu Ran really knows too little. In her previous life, she didn't know, but now even if she asked the entire Red Moon Pavilion to investigate, and finally pieced it together, the news she got on the bright side was just to say: Rong Xi's mother was originally just a powerless concubine in the palace, because of her beauty, she was later seen by Hua Jun, so she was lucky to give birth to Rong Xi, but she died of illness soon, and Rong Xi was not even a year old at that time.

However, Yu Ran always felt that there was something wrong with this news. Because after that, Yu Ran asked the Red Moon Pavilion to re-investigate thoroughly, and heard the news that Hua Jun's Concubine Jing often visited Rong Xi when she was young, indicating that Concubine Jing and Rong Xi's mother had a great relationship.

After discovering this situation, Yu Ran let the Hongyue Pavilion people in the palace of King Hua become the maidservants beside Concubine Jing, and once when Concubine Jing took the maidservants to the palace where Rong Xi lived, the maidservants asked Concubine Jing: "Niangniang, the four highnesses have moved out of the palace for many years, and the palaces of the four highnesses have been vacant for a long time, why do you always have to come here every other month?" ”

"I'm here to see an old man." I heard that Concubine Jing's eyes were full of sadness at that time, and even her words were full of pain and coldness.

"Old people, what kind of old people?" The handmaid asked innocently.

"This old man...... It's the most beautiful person I've ever seen. It's a pity that God is jealous...... Perhaps coming to this palace was the most wrong decision she ever made. Concubine Jing lamented, but did not continue, and finally instructed the maidservant not to tell anyone that she had said these things.

Then the maidservant found that in the mouths of several old people in the palace, it seemed that Rong Xi's mother had already become a taboo in the palace, and I heard that Hua Jun personally issued an edict that no one should mention the matter of Rong Xi's mother concubine, so the people who entered the palace later did not know about this, and with the passage of time, nearly seventeen or eighteen years have passed, and almost no one will think of the beautiful person who once lived in Rong Xi's palace.

Because this happened too early, it should be said that it happened when Rong Xun and Yuran were just born, so it has been so long, and the truth has long been buried so that it is almost impossible to find it.

Even if Yu Ran pieced together the news, he couldn't directly discover what kind of mystery was hidden in it. Therefore, she has always been curious about this, but she has never asked Rong Xi directly.

Rong Xi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, "She...... I heard that she was just a concubine who was not powerful before, and there is nothing else to say, after all, I have never seen her, just like Ah Ran You have never seen Empress Mingxu. ”

There were two queens in Emperor Zhuan's life to the day of the destruction of the country, the first queen was Yuran's mother Tang, and the second queen was promoted from the concubine to the second after Tang's death, and was the mother of the crown prince. When Tang died, Yu Ran was only two years old, so like Rong Xi, he didn't know or remember his mother at all.

"You have a point." Yu Ran asked Rong Xian to lie down in the bed, and told him to be careful not to rest on the injured right arm in the bed, and then she slowly lay down on the outside of the bed, covering both of them with the futon.

"Why did you suddenly think to ask this?" Rong Xun also moved his position, and when he reached a more comfortable position, he turned slightly sideways and looked at Yu Randao.

Yu Ran thought that she couldn't say that she had checked it but didn't find out why, so she wanted to get some words out of his mouth.

"It's nothing, I just can't imagine how beautiful your mother is to give birth to a child like you." Tamarin looked sideways at him with a smirk.

Rong Xi seemed to have thought about it seriously, but then, he suddenly said to Yu Ran: "I don't know what my mother looks like, but I can guarantee that Ah Ran is very beautiful, and you always praise my appearance." Come to think of it, the child we give birth to in the future will be extremely beautiful, and you will like it. ”

"Don't talk about this, Rong Xi should think about it, you, a prince of Huaguo, stay in my Ningguo Regent's Mansion, how can you calm your father's anger?" Tamarin chuckled teasingly.

"Haven't you thought about this?" Rong Xi raised his lips, and his eyes were moving, "As long as Shuyang City can be successfully recaptured, the isolated Chinese army will inevitably be trapped, so Ah Ran will continue to let Qin Gongzi lead the troops to attack Huaguo at this time, Shuyang City is not far from Ruihe City on the border of Huaguo, the Chinese army is not so fast to support, Murong Qi never thought that you would be bold enough to counterattack, so this is the best time."

"If the gate of Ruihe City can be broken in a short period of time, then the loss of Huaguo will inevitably be heavy, not only in terms of military strength, but also in turn the loss of a city. At that time, Ah Ran only needs to tell Murong Qi that you are willing to exchange one condition, as long as he can agree, then you will return Ruihe City, and will let the remnants of the Chinese army trapped between Shuyang City and Ning Kingdom return to the country. ”

Yu Ran raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes shining, "That quid pro quo, is that you?" ”

"Nature." Rong Xi said firmly.

"Why do you think I'm going to trade these to Hua Jun for you? Ruihe City is the border city of Huaguo, if I can really capture it, it will be of great benefit to Ningguo, do you think I will give up such a good advantage just for you to attack one person? Yuran asked rhetorically.

"You will."

Yu Ran looked at Rong Xian and found that Rong Xian's eyes seemed to contain a pool of deep water like the sea, quiet and bottomless, but he unexpectedly wanted people to find out.

"Ah Ran, you will." Rong Xi was stunned when he saw Yuran, so he repeated it lightly, and said, "Because you like me." ”

"So confident?" Jade Ran pretended to be angry.

"Besides, you're a covenant keeper. You won't allow others to break their promises, so you won't break your word. "Rong Xi will accept it when he sees it.

Hearing this, Yu Ran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glared at him, and then simply closed her eyes and said, "I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow and go to bed early." Don't talk nonsense there, don't be injured because you don't have a good rest. ”

"Okay." Rong Xi silently looked at Yuran's side face for a moment, and replied with a smile.

Rong Xian's eyes are gentle, but if you look carefully, you will feel that the bottom of his eyes is deeper than the pool of water, and wider than the starry sky. His smile was shallow, and it seemed to be timeless.

He stared at Jade's face, thoughtful.
