Chapter 22: Heart-to-heart
"Father-in-law Xu, he is now in a difficult position to protect himself, where can he still take care of you, you still don't know, now Father-in-law Xu is locked up in the prison of the Zhenfu Division. Qin Yi, didn't you hear His Highness's words, and they are too noisy. Rong Li looked at the bright pomegranate on the table and took it and ate it.
And the few people below who were howling at the beginning were all tongued out by Qin Yi, while the others looked even more frightened. Even if they were beaten like Ling Chi by Qin Yi's whip, they didn't dare to make any more noise, because they didn't want their tongues pulled out. And Rong Li looked at the miserable situation of everyone below as if he was watching the most ordinary scene, still eating pomegranates as if nothing had happened, as if the blood underneath had nothing to do with him.
"Today's pomegranate is good, I can send some to A-Ning later, she should like to eat it." Rong Li said to Qin Feng.
"I'll send it myself later, I haven't seen that girl for a few days, and I miss it." Rong Li was talking to herself there. Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, his master seemed to become neurotic and even a little human only when he encountered something related to the county lord.
"Your Highness, a total of fifteen people have all been executed." After a while, Qin Yi came over to report.
"Oh, then take it down and get a doctor for them. This is the first and last time, and I don't want anyone to dare to question my words the next time I speak. I am not to blame for your past, and if you do things well in the future, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you, if you dare to eat inside and out, then I will let you know what regret is. Rong Li left after saying it lightly.
"Oh, and the ground needs to be cleaned, and as much as I like the color, it's only fresh, and the dried blood will only be unappetizing." Rong Li turned back to them and said.
And the people who were still lying on the ground just felt cold, today they finally survived this level, and the two people who had just resisted Rong Li were pulled out of their tongues because no one treated them in time and died. They always thought that Rong Li was just a prince with an embarrassing identity and no real power, and they never took her seriously at all.
But after today, although they don't know what Rong Li's ability is, they understand that Rong Li's ruthlessness is definitely beyond the reach of few people, and once such a person gets the right, it is as difficult to control as a wild horse that has escaped. As for 100% allegiance, it depends on whether Rong Li has that ability.
And A-Ning finally saw Rong Li after a few days of silence.
"A-Ning, today's pomegranate is good, you can taste it, this is different from those tributes." Rong Li said to A-Ning in front of the piano platform.
"Yes, county master, the slave has been stripped off, come and taste it." Zihan said that she knew that this was specially transported back by Rong Li for the county lord to eat.
"Got it, you guys go down first, I have something to tell my cousin." A-Ning commanded.
"A-Ning, what's the matter, did anyone make you angry, why are you so serious?" Rong Li asked. Although A-Ning looked good when he was angry, he didn't want to be angry with her.
"Who else can make me angry, it's not you, what do you say you're doing now?" A-Ning said angrily.
"I, we haven't seen each other in the past few days, how can I make you angry." Rong Li said confusedly.
"Hehe, the commander of Zhennan, who has just become the Jinyi Guard, doesn't blink an eye when he lies. Cousin, I learned how to make perfumes, and I can still smell the smell of blood on your body, although it is very faint. A-Ning looked at Rong Li and said.
"Oh, just thinking about giving you a pomegranate forgot your nose is so smart." Rong Li's eyes flashed with annoyance.
"You still won't tell me, or do you say that my cousin doesn't believe me?" A-Ning made a sad face.
"Who's to say I don't trust you anymore, I just don't want you to worry about it. There is nothing, the prince will enter the various ministries when he becomes an adult, and I have entered the Jinyi Guard. Rong Li said.
"You also said that you entered the ministries to go through the training, and if that is the case, I am not surprised. But what about you, you went to Jinyiwei, even an ordinary person knows what kind of place it is, and the commander of Jinyiwei has never received a good death. Even if you are a prince, you have no power and no strong foreign support. If you are given a handle, what will happen to you when you are liquidated, since ancient times, the royal family has been the most indifferent place for family affection. A-Ning said worriedly.
"Who told you this?" Rong Li was a little angry, he didn't want Ah Ning to know about the darkness in the court, a clean person like A Ning should have the purest life, and a person who destroys this life is simply unforgivable.
"No one told me this, and when I knew that you were the commander of Jinyi Wei Zhennan, I thought about whether you had made any deal with the emperor's uncle." An Ning said affirmatively.
"Trading, I like the word, we are mutually beneficial, and taking what we need is not a transaction. I need power, I want revenge, and only with power in my hands can I protect what I have. Since this is the case, it is natural that there must be corresponding contributions. Rong Li said nonchalantly.
"Even if the road is full of thorns, blood and corpses, and even if your life is in danger at any moment, do you want to do that?" Aning asked.
"Yes, Aning, my life has always been full of gloom, this has existed before I met you again, if you dislike it, I will stay away from you in the future." Rong Li looked at A Ning and said, his eyes were very serious.
"A-Ning, I only have this one chance, I will give you a chance to escape from me, as long as you miss it, you can only choose to stay by my side." Rong Li said in his heart.
"What are you talking about, I'm just worried about you, why should I stay away from you, is it in your heart that I am so interested in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. I'm worried about you, you know, I'm worried that you're in danger, and I can't even see this. A-Ning said angrily, not looking at Rong Li. Is he such a cold person in his heart?
"Hehe, how could A-Ning be such a cold-blooded person, A-Ning is a little fairy sent by God." Rong Li said with a smile, at this time, he was full of warmth, without a trace of coldness.
"How can a fairy have such a poor body, cousin, although I have brothers and sisters, I have never been close to you, in my heart you are the same as your father and mother. I don't want anything to happen to you, but if you want it at that time, I will support you, but you don't think twice about everything and don't be impulsive, you've been waiting for so many years, and you're not in a hurry. Aning said.
