36 And the whole world was used to bury him
"Smack".
Wang Xueyan covered her hot face, looked at Concubine Yuan who took the snow-white handkerchief in the hands of the palace people and wiped her hands with stunned eyes, her lips trembled, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
Originally, Yao's mother and daughter were sitting on one side and were so frightened that they kept their bodies, and then with a "plop", they knelt on the ground together, and shouted in their mouths: "Niangniang is angry." β
Wang Xueyan suddenly came back to her senses, and then knelt down with a "plop".
Her ears were ringing, but she didn't know why she had been slapped in the face. But you can't ask if you don't know, not only can't you ask, but you have to quickly admit your mistakes.
Only before she could speak, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"Mother, the subordinate is not sensible, he collided with you, and someone punished him according to the rules, why do you have to do it yourself, turn around and hurt yourself, but how can you call the son!"
Wang Xueyan's hot face was burned as if it had been burned by fire in an instant, and the whole person trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Yuan Guifei's voice sounded above her head, "Why are you here?" β
Li Kai stepped forward with a smile, didn't even give Wang Xueyan a look out of the corner of his eye, and first helped Yuan Guifei back to sit on the main seat, and then turned around and personally helped Mrs. Yao, "Madame, get up, the concubine is not angry with Madame, you don't have to be frightened." β
Mrs. Yao stood up with Li Kai's hand, but she didn't dare to breathe, and only secretly looked at the Yuan Guifei who was seated from the corner of her eye.
Li Kai turned around and helped Yao Xiurong again, and said with gentle eyes: "Miss Yao, you can get up too." β
Su Zhi, who had already been by Concubine Yuan's side, personally stepped forward to help Yao Xiurong up.
Li Kai turned his head sideways, glanced at Wang Xueyan, who was kneeling on the ground in a panic, and said coldly: "You can get up too." β
Wang Xueyan didn't dare to move, but looked at the Yuan Guifei tremblingly.
Yuan Guifei met the gaze she looked at, snorted angrily, and said, "Useless things!" β
Wang Xueyan was so frightened that her body trembled, where did she dare to get up again.
Li Kai sighed secretly, and said in his heart: You also know that she is useless, why are you stuffing her in my palace if you are useless? But thinking about it, I will use her next, a smile bloomed on my face, I looked at Yuan Guifei and said: "She is still young, and she has suffered a lot when she was young, so it is inevitable that her vision is a little shallow, why should the mother be angry about this little thing?" β
Wang Xueyan, who was hanging her head, listened to Li Kai's words and the meaning of maintenance, her throat suddenly hurt, and tears fell down in big drops. At this moment, just thinking about it, is to ask her to die for him, and she is worth it!
Yuan Guifei wrinkled her brows, and waited to say more, but after meeting Li Kai's disapproving gaze, she was silent, waved her hand and said: "Okay, people are your people, you are not angry, what do I have to be angry about." Get up! β
Wang Xueyan didn't dare to move.
Only made Yuan Guifei so angry that her eyes hurt!
Li Kai sighed, turned around and said softly: "I haven't thanked my mother yet." β
Wang Xueyan hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.
Li Kai glanced at Su Zhi on the side again.
Su Zhi stepped forward with a smile in her eyebrows, helped Wang Xueyan up with her own hands, and said softly: "Concubine Wang came with the slave maid, and the slave maid will redress your makeup for you!" β
"Thank you, auntie."
Wang Xueyan smiled pitifully at Su Zhi.
Su Zhi couldn't help but secretly wonder, no wonder the prince helped her as a concubine in so many people, although her brain was a little stupid, but this face was really good.
She smiled at Wang Xueyan and led her to the side hall to freshen up.
Li Kai's eyes lightly glanced at Mrs. Yao's mother and daughter, who were lowering their eyebrows on one side, and sat down beside Yuan Guifei with a smile.
Concubine Yuan waved her hand, and the palace people in the hall immediately lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.
Yao Xiurong, who was sitting beside Mrs. Yao, was nervous for a moment, and even her breath was out of order.
Mrs. Yao gently squeezed her hand through her sleeve, and then looked up at Yuan Guifei.
Looking at each other, Yuan Guifei pulled the corners of her mouth, a shallow smile bloomed on her face, and she said kindly: "This palace has long wanted to let Mrs. take Xiurong into the palace for a trip, but these days the womb is really not peaceful, this drag dragged on to this day, Madam won't blame this palace, right?" β
Mrs. Yao hurriedly stood up in fear, "Niangniang's words are serious, the courtiers don't dare!" β
Yuan Guifei nodded with a smile and said to Mrs. Yao: "Madame, sit down, you and Bengong are a family, and you will have to kiss each other in the future, so you don't have to be so restrained." β
Mrs. Yao sat down with a sneer.
Yuan Guifei's eyes turned to look at Yao Xiurong, and after looking her up and down, she said softly: "This palace still has some vision, this material is really beautiful when worn on you." β
After knowing that the queen was going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, Yuan Guifei chose a few materials in the Internal Affairs Office and rewarded them with some exquisite jewelry, and today Yao Xiurong's clothes and jewelry on her hair bun are all from Yuan Guifei's handwriting.
Yao Xiurong stood up shyly and bowed to Concubine Yuan, "Xiurong hasn't thanked Niangniang for her grace." β
"You child, who are you in this palace, and not all the things in this palace will be left to your children in the future." Yuan Guifei said with a smile.
Yao Xiurong blushed and sat down shyly.
At this time, Su Zhi led Wang Xueyan who had re-groomed and walked out.
Just listened to Yuan Guifei's words in her ears, Wang Xueyan couldn't help but clench her palms fiercely through her sleeves. She has been in the palace for a long time, but before carrying the side concubine, Liao Liao slept several times, and all of them took the shunzi soup afterwards. finally lifted the side concubine, she bought off the grandmother of the palace steward, thinking that she must give birth to the eldest son before Yao Xiurong entered the door, and in the future, the mother would fight against Yao Xiurong with her son. can even make the concubine look at her with her children! But who knows......
Yuan Xuewei really doesn't look down on Wang Xueyan's childishness, she just thinks that her face is a natural fox. But she had forgotten why she was sitting on the spot she was now!
Seeing Wang Xueyan coming over with her eyebrows lowered, the smile on her face suddenly subsided, and she said to Su Zhi: "Move a brocade pier for Concubine Wang." β
"Yes, sissy."
Wang Xueyan quickly glanced at the rosewood chair under Yao Xiurong's buttocks, and her cheeks were about to be bitten, so she held back the tears in her eyes and sat on the brocade pier that Su Zhi had moved.
Concubine Yuan gave Su Zhi a look, Su Zhi bowed slightly, turned around and retreated, and waved away all the palace people on duty outside the palace gate, and she was personally guarding the palace gate.
In the main hall, Yao Xiurong's mother and daughter immediately stiffened when they saw this battle, and looked at the Yuan Guifei in the upper seat with 120,000 spirits.
Yuan Guifei took the tea cup on her side, and after taking a sip of tea, Fang held the tea bowl and said quietly: "You are all Kai'er's closest people, and now Kai'er is in trouble and needs your help, I don't know what you think?" β
Is there something difficult for the prince?
Wang Xueyan looked up at Li Kai fiercely, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
Why don't you sue her if you have something difficult?
Even if she dies, she will help him!
"Niangniang, as long as you can help the prince, the concubine will take this life, and she will not hesitate." Wang Xueyan said urgently.
It's just surprising that Yuan Guifei did not praise her words, but frowned, and a trace of annoyance flashed on her face.
Mrs. Yao and Yao Xiurong on one side saw it, and couldn't help but exchange glances together, and in the next moment, the mother and daughter looked at Yuan Guifei at the same time, and said softly: "Niangniang has orders, and the courtiers (courtiers) are all obedient!" β
Concubine Yuan's wrinkled brows loosened, and a touch of joy bloomed between her eyebrows.
Xindao: Strange Taoists often say that they marry a wife and marry a virtuous, look at how good this Yao is to speak! Look at that cheap skin again, I can't even say a word, it's really blind to such a good position for the side concubine! Looking back, I must tell Kai'er that this position has to be left for use!
With a decision in her heart, Concubine Yuan glanced at Li Kai and motioned for Li Kai to speak by himself. Li Kai nodded and spoke slowly.
"Lord Yongning, you all know each other, right?"
When the words fell, his eyes glanced lightly at the faces of the three people, and finally fell on Yao Xiurong's body intentionally or unintentionally.
Yao Xiurong met his shining eyes, his heart panicked, his face was hot, and he nodded subconsciously.
Li Kai picked the corners of his mouth, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and his voice became more and more cordial, "She has a very important thing in her hand, this thing is very important to this king, I want you to help me get such a thing from her." β
Wang Xueyan remembered her previous provocation against Rong Jin at the gate of the palace, and immediately understood why Shicai's slap came from. When she understood, she only felt that a nameless fire in her heart seemed to burn her internal organs.
She looked at Li Kai with a blank eye, "Lord Wang, you, why didn't you say it earlier?" β
Li Kai's lightly lowered eyes with a self-deprecating smile.
Say it early?
If he had known that Rong Jin had a jade seal on his body, could he still have his father set him the daughter of the Yao family?
"The king didn't know it before." Li Kai said softly.
Wang Xueyan hurriedly asked, "What should the concubine do to help the prince?" β
Li Kai didn't say a word, but looked at Yao Xiurong gently.
Yao Xiurong pursed her lips and said softly: "Although the prince commands, Xiurong will definitely live up to his trust." β
Li Kai nodded at this time, and said softly: "This king wants Miss Yao and Concubine Yao to join forces and try to coax the Lord of Yongning County to the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden. β
Yao Xiurong Huo Ran looked up at Li Kai.
Li Kai met her gaze, and his smile remained unchanged.
Wang Xueyan on one side looked at the lawsuit between the eyebrows of the two, was silent, and asked softly: "Lord Wang, such a simple thing can be done by any palace person, so why do you need a concubine and ......Miss Yao?"
Li Kai tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Wang Xueyan coldly.
Wang Xueyan stiffened at his glance, her face followed by a flush, and she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to speak.
At this time, Su Zhi's voice sounded outside the door.
"Niangniang, the queen sent someone over there, saying that the banquet is about to start."
Yuan Guifei glanced at Li Kai, raised her voice slightly, and said: "The palace knows, sue sΓΉ to come, and the palace will pass." β
"Yes, sissy."
Outside the hall, the sound of Su Zhi's steps retreating sounded.
Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai and said lightly: "You hurry up and make it clear to them, this palace and Mrs. Yao will take the first step." β
"Yes, Princess."
Li Kai stood up and sent Yuan Guifei and Mrs. Yao away.
In the main hall, only Yao Xiurong, Wang Xueyan and Li Kai were left at this time.
Li Kai turned around, looked at the two people standing on his left and right, was silent, and said softly: "Up to now, this king will not hide it from the two of you, the thing that the county lord of Yongning is holding in his hand is actually the real heirloom jade seal." β
Heirloom jade seal?
Wang Xueyan and Yao Xiurong's faces changed together.
Li Kai looked at Yao Xiurong, whose face was as pale as paper for a moment, and asked softly, "Xiurong, do you want to rule the Six Palaces, or are you just the Lord of the First Palace?" β
Yao Xiurong snorted.
Lord Rui wants the magpie's nest dove to occupy, which is not a secret.
But the jade seal of the country was in Rong Jin's hands, and this incident really shocked her to the point that she lost her reaction.
When she came back to her senses, she bent her knees and said softly, "The courtiers know what to do. β
Li Kai nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Wang Xueyan, who was still ignorant, and said, "You obey Miss Yao's orders." β
Similarly, after the initial shock, Wang Xueyan immediately came back to her senses, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't even speak with excitement for a while. Seeing Li Kai looking at her at this moment, she nodded busily.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, the concubine is looking forward to her sister's horse!"
Li Kai also nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, the banquet is about to begin, so the king will send you out."
Yao Xiurong and Wang Xueyan bowed to Li Kai at the same time.
The roads in the palace are intricate, and if there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk out for ten days and a half months.
When Li Kai sent the two to the imperial garden, he turned to the two and said, "Go, the front is the place where the queen mother will hold a banquet." Remember, this king is in the Garden of Beasts, waiting for your good news. β
After Yao Xiurong and Wang Xueyan answered "yes" in unison, the two picked up the corners of their skirts and walked to the front of the crowd.
"Sister." Wang Xueyan tugged at Yao Xiurong's sleeve.
Yao Xiurong frowned angrily, and the words of reprimand came to his lips, but thinking about what he was going to do next, he forcibly suppressed the evil breath in his heart, and said softly: "What's the matter?" β
"Sister, don't worry, I won't fight with you." Wang Xueyan blinked her apricot eyes and said to Yao Xiurong sincerely.
Yao Xiurong almost sneered, fighting? What are you fighting with me?!
But in the end, she only nodded almost invisibly.
Wang Xueyan saw that although her expression was cold, she didn't speak ill of her, and her courage couldn't help but grow a little stronger, she stepped forward and asked softly: "Sister, how can we lead that slut Rong Jin to the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts?" β
"Act on the opportunist." Yao Xiurong thought for a while and said softly: "When you look at my eyes, you act, that is!" β
Wang Xueyan pouted without concealment.
β¦β¦
"County Lord, I didn't see anyone."
After Liu Nianxia turned around, he walked back to Rong Jin's side and whispered in her ear.
Rong Jin nodded.
At this moment, some palace people sang loudly.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
The women and young ladies who were originally scattered everywhere heard this singing, and they all came over in unison, and Rong Jin followed and looked up.
Queen Lu is no stranger to her, and when she saw Yongcheng Hou Lady Cui who was walking in Queen Lu with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, but her demeanor revealed a faint and stubborn color, and Zhou Huiqi, who had beautiful facial features and luxurious clothes but was delicate and elegant, Rong Jin hooked the corners of her lips slightly.
It's strange that Liu Nianxia can't find anyone, it turns out that people have already gone to hug their thighs!
"County Lord, the young lady behind the queen mother should always be Miss Zhou of Yongcheng Houfu." Liu Nianxia said softly.
Rong Jin nodded slightly, signaling that she understood.
"The courtiers have seen the queen mother a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
A group of women bowed their knees to Empress Lu.
Empress Lu raised her hand to stop, and after exempting everyone from saluting, she turned sideways to Lin Hong and asked, "Why hasn't the imperial concubine come yet?" β
Lin Hong was about to ask someone to inspect it, and a crisp laughter sounded like Yinling.
"The concubine is late, and my sister forgives her sins."
Almost as soon as the words fell, Yuan Guifei took Mrs. Yao's mother and daughter and Wang Xueyan Lian and appeared in front of everyone.
Yuan Guifei led the three people behind her to salute Queen Lu, and Queen Lu said a few words to her with a faint expression, and then found an excuse to send it away.
At this time, everyone had to step forward to salute Concubine Yuan.
Because it was a luncheon, everyone came early, and it was a good time to gather henchmen, so it didn't take long for the crowd to stroll around the imperial garden.
Politics is a complicated thing, and these women who can come to the banquet, whether they can win the hearts of their own men or not, but at this time, they all represent the men and families behind them.
After a while, the crowd was divided into two factions, and the concubine faction stepped forward to hold the concubine's stinky feet. And the queen faction...... Rong Jin was in the middle of everyone and looked up at Queen Lu.
After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head, but it turned out that there were more people holding the concubine's stinky feet than the queen! Rong Jin picked the corners of his mouth, and a mocking smile slipped into his drooping eyes.
"County Lord, Miss Zhou is coming this way."
Liu Nianxia's voice sounded in his ears.
Rong Jin thought about it, looked up, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Huiqi surrounded by a few little girls of her age and dressed beautifully, and the group was walking in the direction where she was standing.
Just when Rong Jin was thinking about whether to avoid it, Zhou Huiqi smiled at her from afar, and asked softly, "Is it the county lord of Yongning?" β
Someone handed an olive branch, and Rong Jin wanted to take it. What's more, she originally planned to find a chance to get close! At that moment, Zhou Huiqi smiled and said softly: "Is it Miss Zhou from Yongcheng Houfu?" β
Zhou Huiqi nodded.
A little girl who was about ** years old, with a round face and soft skin following Zhou Huiqi, secretly leaned into Zhou Huiqi's ear and asked softly: "Sister Huiqi, I heard that the county lord of Yongning is eight feet tall, with red hair and green eyes, why doesn't this look like this?" β
The little girl's words provoked the rest of the little girls to laugh out loud, and a little girl with a slender figure, a goose egg face, and willow eyebrows raised her eyebrows and said to the little girl: "Auntie, what you said is really the county lord of Yongning?" Not Shurayaksha? β
The little girl who was called Ah Fei stomped her feet and said, "It's true, they all said so, otherwise, with such a small girl's family as the county lord of Yongning, how could they dare to kill King Chen?" β
Before her words fell, the little girls who were still smiling suddenly didn't dare to laugh.
The death of King Chen, although finally suppressed by Emperor Yongchang, still deeply planted a seed of fear and horror in the hearts of all the ministers of the imperial capital.
You must know that since the founding of this dynasty, not to mention the killing of the prince of Yipin, it is almost unheard of to assassinate high-ranking officials and dignitaries. And this Yongning County Lord single-handedly destroyed a Houfu and Guogong Mansion, not to mention, he killed King Chen so neatly! But she can still stand in front of everyone safe and sound!
Everyone is about the same age, look at others, and then look at yourself...... In an instant, except for the ignorant girl, everyone had a look of indifference on their faces.
Rong Jin ignored everyone, but looked at the little girl with a round face and an ignorant face, and asked, "Is this not okay?" You know who I am, but I don't know who you are! Tell us about yourself, right? β
"My name is Tan Yanting, my nickname is Ah Yan, my father is Runan Hou, Tan Hongye."
Runan Hou? Tan Hongye!
The smile on Rong Jin's face deepened a little.
is the one who has a deep affection for his mother, and after his mother's accident, he is still willing to marry three media and six people? ! I heard that if it weren't for the old lady of Runan Hou who was forced to die, Runan Hou would have planned not to marry for life! It's a pity that such a good man, but his mother missed it.
Rong Jin smiled and raised his hand to pinch Tan Yanting's face that was still baby fat, and said softly: "Auntie is so good-looking, it's a pity that I entered the palace today, and I don't have any good things on me, I'll have someone make up for it and send it to your house when I go back, okay?" β
Tan Yanting shook her head, "No need, my mother will be unhappy." β
Rong Jin didn't expect that in a group of masked people Huo Li, there would be a little girl with a straightforward personality like Tan Yanting, and her impression of Runan Hou was very good, so she was more and more happy with Tan Yanting in her heart.
After thinking about it, he said: "Then let's do it, even if I owe you, if you have what you want, I can give it to you, so you come and ask me, how about it?" β
As soon as Rong Jin's words fell, let alone Tan Yanting, even Zhou Huiqi was stunned.
She can't say that she knows Rong Jin very well, but as far as she knows, Rong Jin is not an easy person to approach! But such a person easily agreed to Tan Yanting's promise!
Zhou Huiqi's heart spun quickly for a while, and the queen mother had vaguely revealed to her mother that she intended to marry Rong Jin for His Royal Highness the Prince. At first, she didn't feel comfortable feeling well. But my mother said it, not to mention the palace, it is those flat-headed people who are a little bit rich, who do you see who is a wife and a husband to old age? Since sooner or later there will be other women, why not do it as a favor?!
Thinking about it like this, Zhou Huiqi suddenly made up her mind, she stepped forward and grabbed Tan Yanting and said softly: "Auntie, thank you Sister Rong soon." β
Tan Yanting was about to shake her head, her father said, some people in this world will always give first and then take it, why is this Yongning County Lord so good to her? It's nothing to be courteous, it's either a traitor or a thief. She doesn't want it!
However, the mother in front of the head repeatedly explained that she must listen to Sister Zhou's words. Now Sister Zhou means to ask her to answer, so should she or not?
Rong Jin looked at the little fat man's eyebrows and frowned, with a tangled look, and couldn't help laughing.
When she smiled, several little girls beside Zhou Huiqi also laughed, but the laughter was far-fetched no matter how you looked at it.
Zhou Huiqi grabbed Tan Yanting's shoulder, raised her head and said to Rong Jin: "Auntie is still young, she doesn't understand many things, don't blame her." β
"Where," Rong Jin looked at Tan Yanting, whose two thin black brows were slightly together, and said: "There are fewer and fewer people who are as straightforward and naΓ―ve as Ah Yan, I am glad that she is too late, where can I blame her." β
Zhou Huiqi smiled when she heard this.
At this time, the little girl wearing an autumn-scented shirt around Zhou Huiqi's side said softly: "Sister Huiqi, I just heard that there are many treasures placed in Cuiyun Garden, what phoenix feathers, crane dancing auspicious clouds, peach blossom spring water, etc., should we go over and have a look?" β
Zhou Huiqi looked at Rong Jin and said softly, "County Lord, are you together?" β
Rong Jin nodded.
The group walked along the bluestone path towards Cuiyun Garden, which was not far away.
Although it is said that most of the people who can make friends with Zhou Huiqi are from the East Palace, after all, Emperor Yongchang is still in his prime, and no one can say what kind of direction the future will be.
Now that Emperor Yongchang does not pursue the matter of Rong Jin killing King Chen, it does not mean that he will not in the future! As the future crown princess, Zhou Huiqi blatantly courted Rong Jin at this time, would this be too inappropriate?
After crossing a white jade bridge, some people used the excuse that they were tired and wanted to rest, so they found a shady place nearby and sat down. This was repeated several times, and when it really arrived at Cuiyun Garden, only Tan Yanting was still left by Zhou Huiqi's side.
Rong Jin saw that Zhou Huiqi looked unhurried and uneasy, so he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart, he was so calm and generous, and he really had the bearing of a mother.
"Sister Huiqi, there are red clothes and green clothes over there, I'll go over and take a look, do you want to be together?" Tan Yanting pointed to a pot of red chrysanthemums that seemed to drip blood not far away and said to Zhou Huiqi.
Zhou Huiqi saw that this Cuiyun Garden was not as lively as the previous Imperial Garden, and had the heart to sit down and say a few words to Rong Jin, so he said to the Warcraft Yan Ting: "Auntie, go play by yourself, I'm here to accompany you Sister Rong." β
Tan Yanting nodded, looked up at Rong Jin and said, "Sister Rong, I'll go over there to play for a while, don't bully me Sister Huiqi!" β
Rong Jin was stunned by her words.
When Zhou Huiqi heard this, he laughed softly and said, "Go ahead, your sister Rong won't bully me." β
Tan Yanting looked at Rong Jin and didn't move, and she didn't mean that Rong Jin would not leave.
"Auntie, you're too partial, why aren't you worried that I'll be bullied by your sister Huiqi?" Rong Jin said with a smile.
Tan Yanting shook her head, and said with a serious face: "Because you are too powerful, my sister Huiqi can't bully you." β
Rong Jin laughed out loud again when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his hand again and pinch Tan Yanting's chubby young lady, and said softly: "Go, I promise you, I will definitely not bully you Sister Huiqi." β
Tan Yanting then let go and ran forward.
"Qiuyue, you follow Auntie, be careful, don't let her fall and bump into it."
Zhou Huiqi instructed the servant girl who followed behind him.
The maidservant who was called Qiuyue bent her knees and answered yes, and hurriedly chased after Tan Yanting.
When Qiu Yue was far away, Zhou Huiqi gave another look to another maid. When the maid saw it, she smiled and stepped forward to hold Nian Xia and Xingyu's hands, and said, "Two sisters, I'm afraid it's rare to see such a scene a few times in a lifetime, why don't we also walk around?" β
Liu Nianxia and Xingyu looked at Rong Jin together, and after getting Rong Jin's nod, they said with a smile: "There is also Sister Lao leading the way." β
"My name is Liu Yan, what do you call your two sisters?"
The three of them walked slowly all the way, but they were within sight.
Rong Jin closed her gaze, looked up at Zhou Huiqi, and after a little muttering, she slowly spoke: "Miss Zhou, do you have something to tell me?" β
When Zhou Huiqi heard this, he smiled and said, "Isn't it that the county lord has something to ask me?" β
Rong Jin hooked the corners of his mouth.
She knew that Zhou Huiqi would not show favor for no reason!
Come to think of it, it should have been a sign from Li Xi, right?
"That's right, I do have something to ask Miss Zhou." Rong Jin looked at Zhou Huiqi, who had gentle eyebrows, and said slowly: "Miss Zhou, can I see His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"You want to see Your Highness?" Zhou Huiqi looked at Rong Jin hesitantly, wrinkled his brows and asked, "Do you want to ask His Highness about his news?" β
The smile on Rong Jin's face paused, and when he looked at Zhou Huiqi, his gaze suddenly sharpened, leaned slightly, but the corners of his lips were curled again, and said: "Your Highness can even explain such things to Miss, it can be seen that he really doesn't treat you as an outsider." After a pause, Rong Jin said again: "That's right, I really want to inquire about his news, does His Highness know?" Has Your Highness ever asked the young lady to bring me a message? β
Zhou Huiqi remembered Li Xi's previous "Sue sΓΉ Rongjin, he is dead!" words.
He!
Who is he?
Is it the assassin of the legendary one who entered the palace and assassinated? But what does an assassin have to do with Rong Jin?
Also, just now Rong Jin said that His Royal Highness doesn't treat her as an outsider, and even such things can be explained to her, what is the "such thing" that Rong Jin said?
Zhou Huiqi was confused, but her face was not arrogant, she looked at Rong Jin and said softly: "He's dead!" β
Rong Jin stood up suddenly.
"What did you say?"
Liu Nianxia and Xingyu, who were standing far outside, saw it, turned around and wanted to come over, but they were stopped by Liu Yan.
"Two sisters, my young lady and your county lord have something to say, let's watch here." Liu Yan said.
Xingyu was about to speak, but Liu Nianxia pulled her hand and motioned her to look into the pavilion, and Xingyu found that her own county lord sat down again, although the person didn't look very good, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Both of them knew that Rong Jin entered the palace today to inquire about the news of Yan Gongzi. The gaffe just now, was it because Yan Gongzi had some bad news? For a while, both of them couldn't help but panic.
Liu Yan didn't get much better, the moment she saw Rong Jin stand up just now, her heart was in her throat, but her own young lady didn't give her good instructions, so she had to stop the two people in front of her.
For a while, the three of them had no leisure to say anything else, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the movement in the pavilion.
Rong Jin clenched her hands that were shaking like a sheep's madness, took a few deep breaths, and waited until her heart was no longer beating so fast before she looked at Zhou Huiqi with a puzzled expression again.
"What about the corpses?"
"Huh?" Zhou Huiqi looked at Rong Jin puzzled.
Rong Jin gritted his teeth and said: "There is a person alive, and there must be a corpse when he dies, right?" Since it is said that the person is dead, then you let His Highness arrange it, I want to see the corpse! β
Zhou Huiqi was speechless and froze there.
The prince only asked her to sue Rong Jin for the death, and now, she said it, and Rong Jin also believed it. But Rong Jin asked to see the corpse, what should she do? To say yes or not to agree?
Seeing Zhou Huiqi frozen there, Rong Jin was silent and asked softly, "What's the matter, Your Highness doesn't agree?" β
"It's not." Zhou Huiqi hurriedly shook his head, "I was just scared by the county lord's words for a while. β
Rong Jin nodded.
These girls, from childhood to college, are all fighting in the house, that is, killing people, but also through the hands of others.
She said that she wanted to see the corpse, and for a while, I was afraid that they would really accept it!
"Then you can tell Your Highness, and see when I will be arranged to identify the corpse." Rong Jin said to Zhou Huiqi, who looked at her: "You sue Your Highness, what he wants is in my hands, do you continue to cooperate, or ...... Let's reply as much as possible. β
Zhou Huiqi understood the meaning of Rong Jin's words.
She nodded and said, "I know, I'll let someone hand the words to His Highness and see where His Highness arranges to meet the county lord." β
Rong Jin nodded.
Zhou Huiqi raised her voice and called out to Liu Yan, who was waiting outside, and when Liu Yan arrived, she said softly: "You went to find Aunt Lin and told her, the county lord will see His Highness and ask her to arrange for someone to deliver a message to His Highness." β
"Yes, miss."
Liu Yan turned around and hurriedly retreated.
Liu Nianxia and Xingyu had also stepped forward at this time, and the two saw that Rong Jin's face was white and ugly, and if they looked closely, they could see her eyes twitching uncontrollably, and they all said in unison: "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" β
Rong Jin waved his hand, "I'm fine." β
She said that it was fine, but the trilling voice did betray her.
Xingyu was in a hurry, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Huiqi.
Zhou Huiqi was about to open her mouth to explain, but saw Qiu Yue staggering out.
Where is Qiu Yue, Tan Yanting.
Her three souls ran out as if she had lost two and a half souls, presumably it was related to Tan Yanting.
Zhou Huiqi stood up in an instant, hurriedly greeted him, and asked in a lost voice, "What's wrong?" You ran out alone, who was there watching? β
Qiu Yue heard Zhou Huiqi ask about Tan Yanting, and she was about to speak, but her mouth trembled like a sieve, and she couldn't say a word.
Zhou Huiqi stepped forward in a hurry, grabbed her, and shouted, "You speak!" β
Qiu Yue opened her mouth, her upper and lower teeth smashed her mouth to pieces, and her blood flowed from her mouthful, but she still couldn't speak. In a hurry, she raised her hand and gave herself an ear brace. Only then did he cry out, and said while crying: "Tan, Miss Tan is gone!" β
"What?"
Zhou Huiqi's face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground as soon as he became soft.
Luckily, a hand reached out and held her.
Zhou Huiqi didn't care to see who was holding her, she stared at Qiu Yue with a white face and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You made it clear to me. β
Qiu Yue said with a dumb throat: "The slave maid accompanied Miss Tan to look at the flowers over there, Miss Tan said that she was a little thirsty and wanted to drink water, so the slave maid thought about finding a palace person to ask for a glass of water, but as soon as the slave maid turned around, Miss Tan was gone!" β
When Zhou Huiqi heard this, for a moment, he only felt that his heart sank to the bottom.
There is only one daughter under the knee of Runan Hou, who usually looks at it like an eyeball, she patted her chest in front of Mrs. Runan Hou and promised that she would definitely be optimistic about Grandma, but now Grandma is gone!
The tears on Zhou Huiqi's face suddenly fell straight down like beads with broken threads, and he muttered, "What should I do?" What is Rui doing? Grandma is gone, how can I explain to Mrs. Zhou? How do you explain to Your Highness? β
Runan Hou and Yongcheng Hou were both imperial parties, and they each held heavy troops from the Eastern Xia Dynasty in their hands. If Tan Yanting has an accident in the palace, I am afraid that even Ru Nanhou, a person who is loyal to the king, may not be willing to settle things. At that time, there was a commotion, justice was hard to get, not to mention, the emperor's heart was lost since then!
The more Zhou Huiqi thought about it, the more he felt that strands of cold sweat were pouring out of his vest.
Rong Jin didn't want to care about this idle matter, although she didn't believe that Yan Li was really dead, but Zhou Huiqi's words still gave her a feeling that her heart was cut by a blunt knife. But seeing Zhou Huiqi bumping around in front of her like a headless fly, and thinking of Runan Hou's affection for Rong Fanghua that day, she cheered up and said.
"Miss Tan went to find someone to ask for tea by herself, why don't we look for it separately." Rong Jin said.
When Zhou Huiqi heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's look for it separately first." β
As he spoke, he took Qiu Yue and hurriedly walked forward.
Rong Jin turned back to Liu Nianxia and Xingyu and said, "The three of us are looking for each other, whether we find it or not, we will meet in this pavilion after a pillar of incense." β
"Yes, County Lord."
The two of them answered, and Rong Jin was about to pick up his feet to find someone, but Liu Nianxia's slightly hesitant voice sounded behind him.
"County Lord......"
Rong Jin paused, looked back at her, and asked, "Nian Xia, do you have something?" β
Liu Nianxia stepped forward and asked softly, "Do you think you want to tell the queen mother and ask her to send someone to look around?" β
Rong Jin looked at Liu Nianxia and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
Liu Nianxia looked at Zhou Huiqi who was walking away, and said softly: "The slave suspects that this is a bureau set up for Miss Zhou. Miss Ayu, I'm afraid it's more than lucky! In case of...... At that time, the county lord is afraid that he will not be able to get out of it. β
Rong Jin understood in an instant.
She was silent and asked softly, "Are you worried that Miss Zhou will put all the blame on my head at that time, or are you worried that the dirt behind the scenes will frame me?" β
"Both." Liu Nianxia said softly: "It's okay that Miss Tan doesn't have an accident, but once something happens, I'm afraid that in order to protect herself, Miss Zhou ......."
"I understand what you mean." Rong Jin nodded and said, "However, I don't care what they think of me." β
"County Lord?"
A desolate smile bloomed on Rong Jin's face, and he said softly: "Just now Miss Zhou told me that Yan Gongzi is dead!" β
"It can't be!" Liu Nianxia and Xingyu said in unison, "How can a person like Yan Gongzi say that he will die? Don't fall for them, county lord! β
Rong Jin nodded, "I don't believe it either, so I told Zhou Huiqi that I want to see the prince, and I want to examine the body of Yan Gongzi with my own eyes." β
Liu Nianxia exchanged a look with Xingyu.
If, in case...... Both of them looked at Rong Jin with worried expressions.
Rong Jin seemed to see through their thoughts, looked up at the sky, and said word by word: "If that's the case, then let the entire royal family accompany him to the funeral!" β
