Chapter 265: Let it go?
As soon as Mo Shu reminded him, Rong Changning remembered that Aunt Duan was still locked up in the backyard. Raising his eyes and looking at Bai Chuxi, the two of them understood, and they couldn't help but recall the two jars of poisonous wine dug up from the bamboo forest before.
Those two jars of wine almost killed the whole family.
And when Aunt Duan arrived at the Ming Wuhou Mansion, Rong Changning hung her for a few days in a row, the three meals were not good, the clothes and the sleep were not warm, and any subordinate could scold her a few words, and she was imprisoned in the house and did not see the light of day, and the sharp energy that she had raised in the Bai family had long been filed.
She lived in a firewood house without seeing the sun for several days, and everyone outside heard that Wuhou's nurse was locked up in her backyard, but they didn't know what it was for.
But Aunt Duan herself knew that she had entered the imperial city this time, probably for the sake of the old things more than 20 years ago. But I have an appointment with my ancestors, and those things must definitely rot in my stomach. But Rong Changning's thunderbolt methods, the temper of the stone who dared to compete with the saint, I don't know how to interrogate myself, and how I should propose favorable conditions in exchange, and then retreat.
She was thinking in her heart, and she was also waiting for Rong Changning and Bai Chuxi's tricks.
Finally, Aunt Duan, who was tied hand and foot, waited for the movement of pushing the door. But it's not Rong Changning who has come recently, but a cold knife. The person who came to see that the person in the room was Aunt Duan, and he stretched out his hand to stab Aunt Duan.
The people outside the window rushed in and blocked the knife for Aunt Duan.
In the panic, I saw Mo Shu push people out of the door with a few moves, and just wanted to jump over the wall and go first. Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Mo Shu reached out and took out a small crossbow in her sleeve, and looked at the back of the person.
But the man walked in a hurry, his body was crooked, and the arrow that should have been pierced in the back of the heart was stuck in his shoulder. When the guards outside the courtyard rushed in, Mo Shu had already jumped over the wall and chased after the blood.
This time when he was assassinated, the Ming Wuhou Mansion was not chaotic, as if he had predicted everything in advance, and the subordinates were still on an orderly errand, as if nothing had happened.
Half an hour passed, and the slender figure wrapped in the black robe entered the bamboo garden from the back door, Mo Shu finally came back, and she knelt in front of Rong Changning: "County Lord, the person is lost." β
Rong Changning lowered his eyes and traced the golden characters on Xiao Dong's spiritual position, and traced them one by one: "If you lose it, you will lose it." β
"The county lord is wise, this person must have heard the news of Aunt Duan and came to kill him, it must have something to do with those two jars of poisonous wine, twenty years ago. originally wanted to catch him alive, but he didn't want to let him escape, but his subordinates pierced his shoulder, this person must not have left the imperial city, ask Hou Ye to use the power of the imperial city to investigate, and he will find it. β
"There's no hurry." Rong Changning suddenly bent his eyes and smiled at Xiao Dong's spiritual position, as if he was talking to Xiao Dong: "Let it go first." Since he was panicked and couldn't assassinate, there would definitely be other actions. Since you pierced his shoulder, it is estimated that ten days and a half months will not be good. β
Mo Shu looked up: "Yes." As long as the county lord asks Hou Ye to dredge up the relationship and pay more attention outside, there will always be another move if the person is not let out of the imperial city. β
Rong Changning nodded, Mo Shu still wanted to say something, and Xiaoqiu came outside the door: "Mastermother, Miss Six is here, wait ahead." β
"Please come in." After that, Rong Changning handed over the things in his hand to Mo Shu, and went to the back to put on his robe and prepare to meet Rong Cheng.
This year's new tea is cooked in the bamboo garden, and Rong Cheng's favorite refreshments are prepared. Rong Changning didn't instruct, but it seemed that he had prepared early.
Rong Cheng entered the house with a calm and calm step, and his momentum was the same as Rong Changning before leaving the pavilion. Only when I saw Rong Changning and the two little nephews did my face gradually become warmer: "I heard that the second sister hasn't been out for a few days, and her mood is not good." So the second brother-in-law went to the house today to discuss things with the fifth brother, and specially asked me to accompany the second sister to talk. β
Rong Changning raised his eyes to look at Rong Xuan, and smiled for a long time: "He thinks that Xiaodong has gone, I'm not happy, right?" β
"In fact, the second sister is really unhappy." Rong Cheng sat on the side and hugged Bai Yue into his arms: "When the second brother-in-law went in the morning, he said that there were more refreshments at home that I usually liked, and if he went out to socialize, he would ask me to accompany the second sister." How hearty? β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Rong Changning was silent, Rong Cheng continued: "I have nothing to do now, except for accompanying Mrs. Xun, I am accompanying the second sister." But when it comes to the Xun family, the second brother-in-law has a bigger face. β
"Him?" Rong Changning raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Second sister doesn't really think that the Xun family will listen to me, right?" Rong Cheng raised his eyebrows and returned with a wry smile: "The fifth brother's words are useful in the Qin family, I am different, if it wasn't for the second brother-in-law to make peace from it, Old Lady Xun may not agree to me entering the door of the Xun family." How to live in the Xun family in the future is unknown. This time, it was the second brother-in-law who came forward to persuade Mrs. Xun, and the Xun family made a compromise for Princess Jiayu and her relatives. β
Hearing this, Rong Changning knew that Bai Chuxi knew what he had done, and he was planning for himself behind his back. The important ministers of the court are one-sided, and they are not all really as they think: they hope to borrow the princess and relatives to maintain the harmony between the two clans.
"It seems that without your second brother-in-law behind the back, the trouble would have been found long ago." Fly Lu
"The last time I went to Xun's house, Mrs. Xun said that the southern Xinjiang mission had mediated for a long time, and the saint finally agreed that Princess Jiayu would leave for southern Xinjiang on the ninth day of the fifth month, and the king of southern Xinjiang would personally go to the territory outside Hongguan to welcome his relatives. It's finally going to take people away, and it's not in vain to waste the toss of the southern Xinjiang people. β
On the ninth day of May, isn't that the next month?
Knowing that the wedding date was in a hurry, the people in Weiyang Palace scolded the southern Xinjiang people thousands of times from the bottom of their hearts, and put forward some rude demands that were difficult to answer, forcing the southern Xinjiang people to agree. In addition, the saint drafted the edict of Jin Feng, and Concubine Shu naturally had to be honest for a long time.
But for Rong Changning, this is not the best result.
On the day Princess Jiayu went out of the city, it rained like cow's hair, and some people privately said that this was Princess Jiayu's mercy, and they couldn't bear to let her leave her hometown and go for the rest of her life. Some people also say that spring rain moistens things, which is an auspicious omen.
No matter what the rhetoric is, people have to go.
Rong Changning and Bai Chuxi also followed the crowd to send Princess Jiayu out of the city, and Liang Tao straddled the high-headed horse with the team to send off relatives and prepare to go to Hongguan together.
The war drums on the arrow tower are floating red silk on both sides, and the sky is particularly eye-catching.
"It's an auspicious timeβ"
A slender and distant shout pierced the silence, and the imperial city bell rang three times, shaking Xiao Yurou's heart. She put down the peacock feather fan with the jewel embedded in the gold handle, her eyes fluttered with tears, and her endless sorrow was all condensed in the center of her eyebrows.
She looked at her father, her mother, her concubine, the royal brothers, and Rong Changning, who had been calculating her behind her back, and finally set her eyes on Bai Chuxi.
But Bai Chuxi never glanced at her, and only raised his hand to protect Rong Changning, for fear that someone who was not long-eyed would squeeze around and touch Rong Changning.
As a result, Xiao Yurou finally understood that Bai Chuxi's side was a place that she couldn't go to in her life. The distance to the south is the final destination of oneself.
In the past ten years, the entire Daqili had whatever he wanted, but now he can't help himself...... It's also a mockery to say.
She knelt down and bowed in the direction of Xuanyuan Gate. Under the city tower, the daughter of Tai Shiling danced with charcoal ash with sparks in order to send the eldest princess of Great Qi out of the city. The ceremonial officer wrapped a handful of soil in a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Yurou's hand.
"People say that if you are sick in another country and have no medicine, you can take the soil of your hometown and lead it with hot wine, and you will be able to go for the most part." The princess who had not passed through the door of the fifth prince sneered: "I don't know Princess Jiayu's soil, but it is enough for her to drink?" β
Everyone on the left and right glanced at it, but they didn't dare to talk, they all knew that Concubine Shu pointed to this family to find a way out for the five princes.
Rong Changning looked at the red shadow, and involuntarily recalled her desperate look when she entered the palace not long ago to visit the Queen Mother Xiao Yurou when she looked at her, she stared at Rong Changning from beginning to end, and finally waited for Rong Changning to go out for a while, she hurriedly followed, chased after Rong Changning and shouted: "Stop!" β
Rong Changning looked back, looked Xiao Yurou up and down, and looked around: "The princess called me?" β
Xiao Yurou walked a few steps forward and stood in front of Rong Changning's eyes, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "I know you are doing ghosts behind your back. β
"So what?" Rong Changning raised his eyes and chuckled: "Since the princess knows that I am playing ghosts, why don't you go and report me in front of Your Majesty?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Oh, I guess the princess said it, but Your Majesty has been busy with the government and has no mind?" Rong Changning paused, and said softly to Xiao Yurou: "How many years have the people of Southern Xinjiang married a fake princess, and they have always dared to be angry and dare not speak. It's just that there is a princess in the imperial city who acts swaggeringly and robs the husband of the lord of Liangping, who doesn't know this news in the imperial city? When people from southern Xinjiang came, they would naturally hear about it. As soon as I arrived in the imperial city, I found a lot of people to ask for the portrait of Princess Jiayu, including me. It's no surprise that I walked past the inn. It is not surprising that the prince of southern Xinjiang insisted on marrying you when he got your portrait. Blame yourself for sending yourself to the door. β
Looking at Rong Chang Ningyun's light and breezy appearance, Xiao Yurou's eyes turned red with anger, and she couldn't wait to ask her father to behead her. But I couldn't, so I could only take a deep breath: "I know, you hate me so much." Now I want to marry far away in southern Xinjiang, no accident, I will not be able to return to the imperial city for the rest of my life, and no one will fight with you anymore. You've achieved your goal, haven't you? β
Rong Changning looked at her silently, waiting for her to say the next sentence.
"Since you are satisfied, let me go, let my mother go."
The princess was wrong. The courtier's wife is just a deep lady, the princess is the proud daughter of the sky, and the lady concubine is even more noble in the middle palace. The princess's sentence of 'let it go' really tormented the courtiers. β
After hearing this, Xiao Yurou also sneered and asked: "In this world, there are still you Rong Changning who don't dare?" I also know that you hate me and my mother, and now I have no room for maneuver, and I am willing to marry to southern Xinjiang. Let go of the concubine ......"
