Chapter 192: Bearing a Debt of Favors
There was no news of Feng Hua's departure for several days, and there was no clue at all, Rong Shuzhi couldn't sleep at night, Yan Yu also begged that Yan Yu many times, Yan Yu would meet him at first, but now he refused to even see him.
The so-called blessing and misfortune are not alone, not only Feng Hua has no news from there, but even Xifeng has returned his two jars of wine, saying that as long as it is about Concubine Yue in the future, there is no need to go to him again.
Only then did Rong Shuzhi realize the taste of a burnt forehead, if this was in the Hidden Country, it was not a matter of his order. But at this time, he was in the Jiang Kingdom, but he was just the first prince of the Hidden Kingdom to form an alliance, what was the use of what he said, he couldn't save Feng Hua from leaving.
Unless there is a person who has a relationship with the Hidden Kingdom, is willing to help him, and still has a certain status in the Jiang Kingdom. Rong Shuzhi thought so, and really thought of such a number one person.
There is a descendant county lord in the Hidden Kingdom, who was married to the former emperor with Jiang Guohe, because she is the descendant county lord, so the first emperor treated her well, and no one in this palace could touch her. This county lord is Rong Yi, Rong Shuzhi's little aunt.
Rong Yi is now the imperial concubine, and she is also somewhat authoritative in speaking, maybe if she goes to her, Feng Huali will be able to turn around. It's just that she has always lived in seclusion, and I don't know if I can meet her this time.
When Rong Shuzhi arrived, it happened that Rong Yi was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and the maid let him in. Rong Yi is nearly fifty years old, his sideburns have become pale, and his face has some wrinkles, which is much older than when he saw it in previous years.
"Zhi'er......" Rong Yi put down the embroidery in his hand, rushed down and hugged Rong Shuzhi. I think that back then, Rong Shuzhi was his favorite prince, and he really lived up to his expectations, and now his skills are getting stronger and stronger.
Rong Yi's eyes turned red involuntarily: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are really changing every day......"
"Auntie, what are you talking about, haven't I always looked like this?" Rong Shu stopped seeing her like this, and the tip of his nose was unbearably sour. It was not easy for my little aunt to marry in such a distant country alone, and she was unfamiliar with her life, and she survived so well for so many years.
"Come to me today, I'm afraid there is something important." Rong Yi said helplessly, they all said that they would not go to the Three Treasures Hall if they had nothing to do, Rong Shu had been in Jiangguo for so long, if he really wanted to come to see him, I am afraid he would have already come.
Rong Shu was stunned for a moment, what she said was not wrong at all, she did come with selfish intentions. This made Rong Shuzhi feel guilty, he hadn't seen his aunt for so many years, but now that they meet, they have something to ask for. This made Rong Shuzhi not know whether to speak: "I ......"
"It's okay, just say it." Rong Yi smiled, she was not like ordinary people who didn't know anything. Rong Shuzhi is here to prepare for the peace and affinity between the two countries, but he is not here to play, so many important things, it is naturally difficult to take care of himself for a while.
Rong Shuzhi only then talked about Feng Huali, and he specially emphasized that Feng Huali was innocent many times: "Auntie, maybe only you can rescue Feng Huali now." ”
"How do you think I can save her?"
Now the only one in this palace who can help him is Rong Yi, Rong Shuzhi must seize this last hope, even if it is only in vain, he is not willing to give up: "You must help me." ”
Only then did Rong Yi face Rong Shuzhi, only to see that Rong Shuzhi looked very anxious. She had never seen Rong Shuzhi so anxious about any woman, and even ignored many women before, she almost suspected that she had any special habits.
But now looking at Rong Shuzhi's appearance, he is definitely moved by mortal hearts, Rong Yi chuckled and asked, "Who is the woman you just said?" ”
Rong Shuzhi was so focused on whether he could save Feng Hua from leaving, he didn't notice the gossip on Rong Yi's face at all, and said truthfully: "She is my apprentice, Feng Huali?" ”
"What," Rong Yi asked loudly as he pretended to have bad ears, "Your wife, Feng Huali?" ”
Rong Shuzhi almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, what did Rong Yi say. He just wanted to say it again, but when he saw the smile on Rong Yi's face, he realized that he was deliberately playing with himself.
"Does she like you?" Rong Yi sat beside him and asked softly. I finally saw that Rong Shuzhi had a person he liked, but he couldn't just let him stupidly let the girl go with someone else, and he had to marry back to the hidden country earlier.
"You misunderstood...... Rong Shu stopped saying his words when he was interrupted by Rong Yi's big palm.
Rong Shuzhi is what she has seen since she was a child, what he is thinking, how can Rong Yi not see it. That Feng Huali must be someone who is extremely important to Rong Shuzhi, otherwise he would not have found himself here for help.
Rong Yi patted it on the shoulder, signaling him not to panic: "Just tell me directly, that girl has feelings for you?" ”
Seeing Rong Yi's happy face, Rong Shuzhi knew that this question had to be answered. He remembered that Feng Huali had been lying on top of him that day, and he couldn't forget that scene. But in the end, Feng Huali said that he felt like a very good brother, and Rong Shuzhi was a little disheartened from then on.
Rong Shuzhi lowered his eyes and did not speak. Rong Yi saw the hurt in his eyes and knew what the answer was. She stood up, walked to Rong Shuzhi, shook his head up and down, left and right, and finally pouted and said, "We are so good-looking, there are really people who don't like it." ”
"Probably...... She's special, isn't she? The woman's smile slowly appeared in front of her, her eyes were like a bright galaxy, but they hid all kinds of stories. Rong Shu curled her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, if she wasn't special, how could she take her heart away in an instant?
Rong Shuzhi stood up and said heavily: "I'll leave this matter to you, she is really important to me." ”
After Rong Yi learned the truth of this incident, he quickly discovered a flaw. Although she has no evidence to prove that this incident was not Feng Huali's doing, she has a way to make this matter not Feng Huali's hand.
She went all the way to the imperial palace, because she was the imperial concubine and a distinguished guest who didn't go out often, so Yan Yu personally went out to welcome her in.
The status of the imperial concubine is not low, and even the emperor has to give up three points. As soon as Yan Yu took Rong Yi to sit down, he immediately sent someone to steam some good hibiscus cakes, and also took some good dragon wells, wanting to entertain Rong Yi well.
But this move was rejected by Rong Yi, she originally came for something, but not for enjoyment, Rong Yi didn't like those twists and turns, so he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the mourning family came today for Feng Hua to leave this little girl." ”
The smile on Yan Yu's face froze, how could he forget that this imperial concubine is also from the Hidden Kingdom, and she is Rong Shuzhi's intimate aunt, and it is not surprising that Rong Shuzhi asked her for help. These two people are really alike, they don't bend at all, and they want to let themselves go.
This Rong Shuzhi is really sick and rushed to the doctor, even if it is the imperial concubine, it can't be said that a suspected criminal is released, so just let it go. Yan Yu smiled and said, "The concubine is in the deep palace, don't worry about these things, why don't you let me send someone to make something delicious for you?" ”
Rong Yi chuckled, she naturally didn't expect to incite the emperor to change his mind in a few words, but she came prepared: "In Xiang Guifei's room that day, only Xiang Guifei's personal maidservant, Concubine Li, the eldest princess, and Feng Huali were present, and outsiders knew about it." ”
"Nope." Yan Yu said that the progress of these cases has always been strictly confidential, after all, not everyone has a pair of discerning eyes, if it is directly transmitted, everyone will definitely come to a conclusion and I will come to a conclusion.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong," Rong Yi looked at him with deep meaning, "There were also Concubine Li's personal maids who were present that day." ”
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant in an instant. Rong Yi was asking himself to transfer the blame to a person who didn't even exist at the scene, but was able to legitimately be there at the time.
This trick is clever, but it can rescue Feng Huali without danger, as long as those few people who know the inside story shut up, all this becomes a matter of course, and no one will criticize this matter at that time.
But Yan Yu, as the king of a country, if he led all of them to do this kind of thing, wouldn't it be bad for the foundation of the country: "Why did I do this? ”
Rong Yi has been observing his eyes: "Just by you know, Feng Huali is innocent." ”
"How do you ......" Yan Yu looked at her in surprise, she really never suspected that this matter was done by Feng Huali, after all, no one would be stupid enough to harm others so obviously, as if she was afraid that others would not know that it was her own doing.
"The people you have always suspected, you can't decide because you don't have evidence." Rong Yi smiled lightly, the things in the harem are playing the same scene every day, but the people who are acting are constantly changing.
Rong Yi can see at a glance who is true and who is fake in this harem: "Does the emperor protect the guilty for the sake of a mere evidence, but instead put the innocent on death row?" ”
The words she said were very sharp, and they were inserted into Yan Yu's heart word by word. He had to admit that Rong Yi's words were too convincing, and he had no room to resist at all.
Yan Yu decided to follow her method, in fact, he wanted to save Feng Hua before, but there was no good solution. Now the method provided by Rong Yi is feasible, but Yan Yu still does not forget the most important thing: "I helped you today, and in the future, you will know that Entu is retribution." ”
Rong Yi secretly rolled his eyes, just such a trivial matter to ask for a favor, it was really a lion's mouth. But who made Rong Shuzhi like that girl, what to do, there is always a price to pay.
After thinking about it again, he was no longer in the hidden country anyway, and he didn't need to pay back a favor he owed, so he readily agreed.
