Even if he wants to compete for the imperial power, even if he calculates in every way, the prince still puts the people's livelihood in the first place, these words made Zhu Rong have a thought in his heart, and he did not hesitate to show the prince that he is willing to sneak back to the capital and assassinate the present.

Wang Ye said: "I have to make a break with him face to face, Rong'er, when the time comes, you just need to save your family, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

In this way, Zhu Rong couldn't force it, so he said: "The emperor rumored in Beijing that I had died, but somehow, I died, what is there to use?" ”

Princess Min asked, "Is it to deceive your father?" ”

Zhu Rong was puzzled: "Once I appear, everything will become a lie, how can my father be willing to be subject to him, my father has always been the most aware of current affairs, if he knows that the current trend has gone, he will never do fearless struggle for me." ”

Prince Sheng bowed his head: "This matter, don't be careless, he may be sure that he won't let you appear again." As for how your father views your life and death, I think Rong'er, you may not really understand that the emperor and Zhu Chengqian have known each other for decades, and may know better than you what kind of person he is. ”

Zhu Rong hugged his fists: "Yes, the younger generation remembers." ”

Princess Min said: "Next, I will negotiate with Zansi Yongluo, you don't need to come forward, you can take care of Fuyi with peace of mind, and then go back to Beijing to hurry, there is still a long time of hard work." ”

The prince sighed: "I am an old confidant and friend with Jingshan, and I feel guilty for not taking care of his daughter." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Fuyi is much better, she has a strong temperament, and she never cherishes the past, not to mention all this, only blame the Yongluo people for being cruel and unreasonable, she said, other than that, it's not anyone's fault." ”

Princess Min said: "Another batch of grain, grass and medicinal materials have arrived, I have sent someone to the neighboring town to invite Langzhong, the military doctor is not good at Qianjinke after all, wait to invite Langzhong, and then take her pulse, and prepare some tonic medicine." ”

Zhu Rong thanked him one by one, and after exiting the big tent, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Prince Sheng's cough, he unconsciously stopped, but heard the princess say, "It's better?" ”

The prince said, "It's okay, don't make a fuss." ”

Zhu Rong didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry before the guards became suspicious.

returned to the camp tent, told Fuyi what he had seen and heard, and finally mentioned that the prince was ill, and Fuyi asked him: "After the prince seizes the palace, will he ascend the throne by himself, or will he directly succeed to the throne by the prince?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Maybe it's just an ordinary wind chill cough, we make too much fuss." ”

Fu Yi sighed: "When I was a child, I often heard people mention that the son of destiny, in the final analysis, the destiny of heaven still depends on lifespan, how many princes in history have not been able to live out of the East Palace, our today, the prince has been a prince for decades, and it is really destiny." ”

Zhu Rong said: "I hope that the prince can ascend the throne first, so that he can give the prince and the eldest sister some time." ”

Fu Yi thought for a while and asked, "For the sake of the emperor's heir?" ”

"This is something that will have to be faced sooner or later, if you start from the Prince's Mansion first, there will be a lot less pressure on my sister's heart." Zhu Rong said, "Once the prince directly succeeds to the throne, my sister will become the queen in the future, and the two have no children under their knees, which will inevitably cause controversy in the court, and my sister will live a life of being watched day and night." ”

Fu Yi agreed: "When the time comes, the emperor may be forced to fill the harem, but the so-called filling of the harem is really for the sake of the heirs?" It's just that between the major factions, it is necessary to be as closely tied to the imperial power as possible. ”

Zhu Rong smiled bitterly: "I thought I would return to the capital, and it would be peaceful from now on." ”

Fuyi pulled him against his side and said, "The end must mean a new beginning, so that there can be no end." ”

The two of them intertwined their fingers, looked at their beloved, and smiled gently: "Brother Rong, we will definitely have children, there are many, many more." ”

Zhu Rong shook his head: "The child is fateful, I am reluctant to let you work hard." ”

Fu Yi closed his eyes softly: "But I'm not afraid." ”

After that, to everyone's surprise, the emperor's will, unlike the news sent back by the secret agent, did not say to fight Zanxi, nor did it say to seek revenge on Yongluo, but gave full authority to his younger brother Prince Sheng, and ordered him to finish his errand, return to the court, and go to Beijing to receive the reward.

After mediating with Zanxi and Yongluo, he not only won compensation for the border mountains and land of Zanxi Shili, but also exchanged the lives of those prisoners of Yongluo for six million taels of silver, far exceeding Zhu Rong's expectations.

In the blink of an eye, the first month has passed, and on the second day of the second month of February, Prince Sheng left his right-hand man and elite soldiers to continue to garrison the border, and he returned to the capital with 2,000 soldiers and his wife and children.
