Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Warning
To think of a way to do both, not only can not hurt the feelings of the monarch and ministers, but also allow Su Yuqi to avoid the emperor's assassination.
Rong Chang leaned back into his palace, holding his head and meditating for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a way to get both.
But there is no delay in this matter. Rong Changtian was worried about Su Yuqi, and decided not to wait any longer, and hurriedly went to discuss with Su Yuqi.
As soon as I went out, I realized that it was already dark.
The maidservant Haitang stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Princess, why are you going to go so late?" ”
"I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow me, let Ling Yan follow me."
Ling Yan is another personal maid of Rong Changtian, who is quite good at kung fu, and has the duties of a maid and bodyguard. When Rong Chang poured out of the palace, he was followed by this maid named Ling Yan.
Haitang was surprised: "It's not Sister Ling Yan on duty today, if the princess has anything, just tell the slave maid." ”
"Come to her, you can't help."
Haitang had no choice but to find Ling Yan, after the tea effort, Ling Yan hurriedly came to the princess's Yinhua Palace, and when she saw the princess, she saluted respectfully: "Princess, are you looking for a slave?" ”
"Come out of the palace with me." As Rong Changtian spoke, he had already walked out, and Ling Yan caught up with her, "Your Highness, it's so late, do you have to go out of the palace?" ”
"You have to get out of the palace." It was already close to the end, Rong Changtian was anxious, and his steps were very hurried, "You hurry up, it's time for the palace gate to be keyed in a while." ”
Ling Yan followed closely and arrived in front of the palace gate, just when the guards were about to give the key, Rong Changtian shouted from afar: "Wait a minute!" ”
The guard's hand stopped, looked over this way, and saw that it was the princess, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Rong Changtian walked closer and said, "Get up." There is an urgent matter in this palace to go out of the palace, and you will give the key later. ”
The guard looked embarrassed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm sorry, the emperor just had an order to come down and not let you leave the palace." ”
"What the hell is this order?" Rong Chang poured his anger up, "What if this palace must leave the palace?" ”
The guard said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't embarrass the villain, the emperor has a decree, if you want to leave the palace, you have to have the emperor's edict, and if you have a decree, the villain will naturally open the palace door and let you out of the palace." ”
"Isn't that the oracle? Okay, I'm going to ask for it! ”
"Ling Yan, go!" Rong Chang turned back angrily and went straight to the emperor's bedroom. In front of the door of the emperor's dormitory, the door of the dormitory had already been closed, and Rong Chang wondered: "Why did you close the palace door so early?" ”
The eunuch at the door said euphemistically: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the emperor has not been in good health recently, and he has rested early, please forgive me, if you have anything, come back tomorrow." ”
It's clear that he doesn't want to see her. Rong Chang gritted his teeth in anger, but he was helpless, he couldn't break through the palace door, and glared at the eunuch angrily, so he could only return in vain.
Back in his palace, Rong Chang leaned left and right to think about it, felt that something was wrong, called Haitang, and asked, "How does the emperor know that I want to leave the palace?" Who is going to sue in front of you? ”
Haitang hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Princess Mingjian, the slave and maid have been with the princess for all afternoons and have never left." ”
Rong Chang glanced at her, "I didn't say it was you, I asked you, who leaked the news?" ”
Haitang said: "The princess didn't shy away from leaving the palace, and the people who served outside the palace in this palace probably knew that the princess wanted to leave the palace, and it was difficult to say who leaked the news." ”
"Then check it out to this palace, find out which unclear little did it, and teach me a hard lesson!"
Rong Changtian has always been domineering, and when she encounters someone who eats inside and outside, she is even more unforgiving, especially in this important matter, which makes her unbearable.
Begonia took the order and went out to summon people for interrogation.
Rong Chang leaned and sat here for a moment, and the cat she had called a little bit rubbed over, jumped on her lap, and rubbed it on her leg affectionately.
Rong Changtian pushed it away irritably, "Go out and play." ”
A little meow and walked out in displeasure. The white cat was a large man, but he walked with great grace, and his fleshy paws fell to the ground without making any sound.
Rong Changtian loved it very much, and when he saw that the figure it was walking out of the lonely description, he couldn't bear it, so he called: "Little, come back." ”
The white cat heard the call, and suddenly jumped back into Rong Chang's embrace, and its body was so fast that it was impossible to see how it moved. Rong Changtian gently stroked its white fur without a trace of variegated hair, and the anger in his heart finally calmed down a little.
The next day, Rong Changtian went to the emperor's dormitory early in the morning to find Rong Changjin to ask for an edict, but only got a reply that Rong Changjin had gone to the court.
Rong Chang couldn't give up, and went to the palace gate again, but the guards still stopped her to ask for an order. She has always been used to running rampant in the palace, the first time she was rejected again and again like this, her self-esteem felt deeply hit, and she rushed back, scolding Rong Changjin in her heart, "Little rabbit cub, you are majestic when you become the emperor!" No matter what, I am also the eldest sister of your mother's compatriots, if you are not close to me, are you still close to those brothers who covet your throne? They are not a mother with you, and they are not with you! ”
There were not many heirs of the first emperor, and the only three princes had been suppressed by Rong Changjin's uncle, Pei Shanqing, the king of Dongqing, as early as the beginning of Rong Changjin's accession to the throne. Yes, although Rong Changjin is young and has not yet been in power, the throne is very solid. It is true that he can sit on this throne, and his eldest sister has also helped a lot openly and secretly.
When Rong Changjin went to the court, the first thing he did was to report the crime of the national teacher Yu Ji.
"I've been sick for the past few days, and everyone must have muttered in their hearts, right? Yes, I am not sick at all, but I have been poisoned by traitors. ”
There was a sensation in the court, just like a fried pot, and even the three kings looked at each other, not expecting the little emperor's way.
"It happened suddenly, and I was afraid of causing social instability, so I didn't let the three kings spread the news. However, now that the traitor has been punished, there is nothing to fear. I can tell you that anyone who wants to murder me or take away this country and society can't! ”
The palace was restless for a while, but Rong Changjin was calm and calm, and continued to speak generously.
"The traitor Yu Ji, who plotted to kill me, put Gu poison in my diet, I have already put him in the cell of the Inner Court Division, and after the next dynasty, the three kings will take charge of this case. You participated in the whole process of arresting Yu Ji and are most familiar with this case. ”
Although Su Qi and Chen didn't know what to do, but in the current situation, they could only accept the order temporarily, and the three of them knelt down and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”
I haven't been in court for a few days, and the three kings have been busy with the emperor's affairs in the past few days, and there is a backlog of government affairs, and when these government affairs are dealt with one by one, it is already noon. When the hundred officials went down to the court, the three kings couldn't leave without permission because they still had tasks on their bodies, so they followed the little emperor to the inner court.
Out of the side door of the Golden Palace, he was encountering Rong Changtian who was blocked there.
Rong Chang was aggressive, and was about to question the little emperor why he restricted her freedom of movement, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the three kings also followed, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Rong Changjin glanced at her, and his momentum was overwhelming: "The outer court is not the place where the eldest sister should come, if the eldest sister has nothing to do in the future, it is better to stay in her own palace and cultivate her self-cultivation and wait for marriage!" ”
"You...... What did you say? ”
Rong Changtian didn't expect his own brother to say such a thing, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak incoherently, and he didn't know what to say.
The three kings were also surprised in their hearts, but their faces were cold and indifferent, with no expression.
"I said, the eldest sister is crazy every day, where is there still a little girl? The eldest sister still goes back to her palace to cultivate herself and prepare for marriage, and I will find a good family for the eldest sister as soon as possible, so that the eldest sister can marry beautifully. ”
"You...... Rong Changjin, you dare! Don't think that you can do whatever you want when you become an emperor! I'm not married! No one will marry! ”
Rong Changtian's bottom line was stepped on by Rong Changjin, and he immediately jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.
Rong Changjin immediately turned cold, and said angrily: "I really connived at the eldest sister in the past, so that the eldest sister didn't even understand the rules!" Someone, bring the princess back to the Yinhua Palace, find a few teaching grandmothers to teach the princess the rules, without my order, she is not allowed to go out of the Yinhua Palace for half a step! ”
"Good, good! You are the emperor now, and your wings are stiff! I don't need the eldest sister to protect me! I'm going to see if you can go to heaven! ”
Rong Changjin was so angry that he didn't choose to speak, but Rong Changjin just walked in front of her coldly, didn't even look at her, and coldly ordered: "Take her back to Yinhua Palace." ”
"You don't need to bring it, it's not that the palace doesn't know the way, the palace walks by itself!"
Rong Chang glanced at the guards and turned his gaze to Su Yuqi, but Su Yuqi just looked at her lightly and did not speak.
"Su Yuqi, Lord Qi, is this as you want?"
"The princess's words, the minister can't understand. However, the emperor is right, now that the princess is an adult, it is time to learn some rules. ”
"I'll rule you! You'd better mind yourself! Don't be taken off your head one day and don't know what's going on! ”
"Take the princess back to the Yinhua Palace!"
Rong Changjin suppressed his anger and ordered.
The guards didn't dare to make too many mistakes, and made a posture of wanting to cut Rong Changtian, Rong Changtian naturally wouldn't let them touch him, and he shook the eyes of everyone present angrily, and walked away arrogantly.
However, Rong Changtian's last warning words had already been heard by Su Yuqi in his heart, not only Su Yuqi heard it in his heart, but Qi Yunxiang and Chen Yu also heard it in his heart.
Rong Changtian naturally wouldn't say such a thing for no reason, she must have known something, so she deliberately waited here to warn.
made a warning, but it can't be too obvious, combined with what has happened recently, it is not difficult to speculate that this person who will cause danger to Su Yuqi is the current little emperor, Rong Changjin.
It is a great irony that the emperor wants his own life.
Su Yuqi felt sad and angry in his heart, but his face was only faint, pretending not to understand, and accompanied Rong Changjin.
Qi Yunxiang and Chen Yu both looked at Su Yuqi worriedly, but Su Yuqi didn't see it and walked forward indifferently.
