Chapter 145: Gathering in the Guest House

The main reason why the Seven Princes were able to be saved by the emperor after experiencing the things of the Zhao family, as well as poisoning Rong Ruofeng, and insulting the officials of the current dynasty, etc., was that the emperor felt that the Seven Princes had completely lost the possibility of competing for the throne, and in a sense, it would not cause harm to the other brothers, so in such a situation, the emperor was willing to be a loving father and protect a stupid son who was incompetent.

But now, the seventh prince has disregarded the lives of the common people and lost the face of the emperor and the royal family, and secondly, he has disregarded the life and death of his second brother, which means that he will not cause harm to other brothers, which has been completely violated.

The Seventh Prince has completely touched the emperor's scales, so the emperor will definitely not protect him again this time!

The Seventh Prince didn't even have time to argue for himself, so he was taken away directly, and he was not imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion as before, but directly in the Heavenly Prison, a place where death row prisoners are held, and the Seventh Prince was really panicked at this moment.

Two days after the seventh prince was imprisoned in the prison, the second prince also returned to the capital, and on the way back, the second prince had already heard that the seventh prince was imprisoned in the prison, which made the second prince a little apprehensive, but at the same time, he was a little happy.

He was happy, naturally, that the stupid younger brother of the Seventh Prince had finally been locked up.

After all, the Seven Princes have been infinitely tolerated by the emperor in the recent period, which makes the princes and officials feel uneasy, thinking that the Seven Princes have received the emperor's blue eyes.

Now that the seventh prince is locked up, the second prince's heart is gone.

As for the worries, it is because the Seventh Prince was locked up because he did not stay in the local area when he learned that the Jiangnan area was about to be hit by a flood, but immediately escaped and returned to the capital, so will he also be treated the same as the stupid younger brother of the Seventh Prince?

Thinking like this, the second prince felt that his worries should be a little unnecessary.

After all, he didn't do as much as the fool of the Seventh Prince, at least after knowing that the Seventh Prince and the other officials had fled, he was lonely and had to escape, he ...... At least during this period of time in Jiangnan, I also checked a lot of evidence of collusion between local officials and the Seventh Prince, these things should make my father and emperor take it lightly, right?

Besides, he has a mother clan that is much tougher than the idiot of the Seventh Prince, a good Yue family, and the support of some courtiers, so he will definitely not be as miserable as the Seventh Prince!

As the second prince thought, he was indeed not as miserable as the second prince, but in fact, it was not much better, because the seventh prince was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and the second prince, after going back, did not even see the emperor's face, and was directly imprisoned in the place where the seventh prince once stayed - the prison of Zongren's Mansion!

The two of them are actually half a catty and eight taels, and no one is better than who goes!

The second prince couldn't help but regret it, he remembered the staff member who proposed to let him find a stable place to stay in Jiangnan first.

If he had followed the advice of this staff member at that time, then he would not have been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion like he is now.

The news in the Jiangnan area, as well as the news of the seventh prince and the second prince, all reached Rong Xuanyu's ears one after another, and through Rong Xuanyu, Bai Xiaochen and Rong Ruofeng, they also all knew the news, of course, the prince was naturally no exception.

And Lu Xilin, who originally only served as a petty official the size of a sesame mung bean in the Jiangling area, was also recommended by the prince and officially entered the emperor's sight.

Lu Xilin has been successfully labeled as a princeling.

All this is going on in an orderly manner.

With the help of the crown prince on the side, Lu Xilin combined the power of the family to secretly build a dam in the upper reaches of the Jiangling area, saving the lives and homes of countless people in the Jiangnan area.

Now, even if the emperor wants to keep his two stupid sons, it is not so easy.

From Jiangling to the entire Jiangnan region, and then to the capital, the people have been talking about Lu Xilin and the two embarrassed princes who escaped the most.

Guest House.

Lu Xilin was sitting in the box and eating leisurely, when a man dressed as a man knocked on the door and entered, and then, as soon as he looked up, he revealed Rong Xuanyu's face.

Lu Xilin had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when Rong Xuanyu appeared, he naturally did not have the slightest surprise, and even took the initiative to pour Rong Xuanyu a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "You are here, I thought you wouldn't show up after I finished this meal." ”

Rong Xuanyu cut off, walked over and sat down, and drank the glass of wine that Lu Xilin poured for himself first, and then said, "What, are you afraid that I won't come over to pick you up and wash the dust, and you will have to spend your own money on this meal?" ”

"But you, I didn't say you were so stingy," Lu Xilin said with a smile, "I can't wait to get together with our great good people, but I'm afraid that our great good people won't have time to appreciate the light, so I'm worried!" ”

Rong Xuanyu said disgustedly: "You talk to me well, disgusting or not!" ”

Lu Xilin laughed: "Old Rong, you are still the same!" ”

Rong Xuanyu also said: "Each other, you are still the same virtue as before." ”

After a pause, Rong Xuanyu said again: "This is back, I shouldn't be able to leave for a while, so I just live in the capital for a while, brother, I promise to make you happy!" ”

"Well, as long as time permits, I will never be polite to you." Lu Xilin said with a smile.

"By the way, I've heard a lot of good things along the way, don't you feel unbalanced in your heart?" Lu Xilin asked suddenly.

Rong Xuanyu asked rhetorically: "Why do I feel that my heart is unbalanced?" ”

"This thing of secretly contributing money to repair the embankment, but you are all contributing money and efforts, but in the end, you, the biggest hero, don't even have a name, but I, a person who has not contributed much, has obtained such a big benefit from you, and now it can be said that it is fame and fortune, not only do I profit myself, my own family, my father-in-law's family and my foreign family have also profited, I think about it, I feel ashamed......"
