Originally, he had been recuperating at the border for more than ten days, and he didn't go fast along the way, so a delay was close to a month, in fact, Rong Zhan could hurry back, but Rong Zhan's physical condition was not so good, and he was tired of traveling.

In this way, it was delayed for some time.

However, after such a small month of recuperation, Rong Zhan's face is much better, and the whole person is not as fragile as when he first left Xiliang.

But if you say that everything is getting better, then it is not.

He entered the palace with him, and before he got out of the carriage, he drank a pot of water.

Qi An looked at the blue and black lines of the faint orchid, and asked silently: "Second brother-in-law, ...... this?"

Rong Zhan raised his eyes for a moment, and then said, "Poison." ”

The corners of Su Qi'an's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "You don't need to be so ruthless to yourself, right?" ”

Rong Zhan smiled, but it didn't matter: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf." ”

Qi An was silent, half loud, and sighed: "If you think about it carefully, it is actually not easy to be a relative of the emperor. ”

Rong Zhan laughed, and he said, "That's better than being an ordinary person, after all, you get more." If you don't have enough food and clothing, then what else to talk about! Man, that is, to be content. ”

It was rare for Rong Zhan to be able to say such warm and contented words, Qi An raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled: "This is really not the character of my brother-in-law." ”

Rong Zhan was calm: "People change. ”

After a pause, his smile was fluttering and meaningful: "Besides, how do you know that I'm not pretending!" Actually, there's no need to say all your thoughts, right? ”

He smiled, which inexplicably made Qi'an feel cold.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't smile at me, I feel uncomfortable watching it." This eerie feeling, not good, not good. ”

Qi'an is very similar to Jiaoyue in a certain aspect, and the two sisters and brothers even have the same little habits.

Rong Zhan said: "When you pretend, these are all leftovers from your sister's play, and she pretends to be more sincere than you." ”

Qi An snorted and sighed: "It's really ...... You really spare no effort to show affection in all aspects! ”

Rong Zhan shrugged.

When the group came to the imperial study, they finally got out of the carriage, and at this time Rong Zhan's face was already pale, and even his lips were not bloody.

Qi An said slowly: "You are really ...... Terrible. ”

Rong Zhan: "Each other." ”

Qi'an was speechless again.

He teased, "Thanks to you, it's the first time I've come to this place in a carriage, and I'm really excited to think about it." ”

Rong Zhan smiled: "Then you can choose to enter the palace with me from time to time." ”

Qi An waved his hand again: "This is not appropriate, I want to get rid of this matter, I don't have many chances to enter the palace." ”

Having said that, Rong Zhan smiled meaningfully, and Qi An rubbed his arm again, always feeling like he was being targeted by a snake.

The two entered the main hall and knelt down to say goodbye.

The emperor was kind, he sat in the top position, and immediately stretched out his hand: "Flat." ”

Qi An was a man with vision, and immediately helped Rong Zhan and helped him up.

Rong Zhan pushed his hand away, as if he was quite disgusted.

He said with peace of mind, you are a cleanliness madman, I am a handsome young man who is willing to help you an old man, you can steal the fun, and dislike me. Why didn't your terrible cleanliness fetish attack when you were in Xiliang!

It can be seen that this kind of thing is a disease of wealth and nobility, and when life is good, it becomes more hypocritical. If life is not good, then it is like that, but nothing else.

probably noticed Rong Zhan's small actions and Su Qi'an's amazement.

The emperor smiled a little, but when he looked at Rong Zhan's face like this, the smile was a little less.

"Zhan'er is not in good health, sit down and talk back."

Rong Zhan's voice was calm and waveless: "Your Majesty, I'm not in trouble. You can rest assured. ”

Although the emperor had a smile on his face, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he said, "It's okay? ”

immediately looked at Qi An, who confirmed: "Your Majesty, my second brother-in-law is really much better, and there is no big problem." You can trust my aunt's medical skills. ”

The emperor can be trusted, but if his face is pale like this, there is still no problem at all, and the emperor can't agree to it.

If it is already getting better now, then how dangerous it should have been when it was serious before.

Thinking of this, the emperor immediately said: "Come here, pass on the imperial doctor." ”

Rong Zhan didn't stop him.

The emperor said again: "I already know all about your trip to Xiliang, Zhan'er, you are too nonsense. ”

Speaking of which, it is stern.

Rong Zhan lowered his head and did not speak.

The emperor said meaningfully: "You don't want to, maybe the so-called clue is actually just a life-killing lock left by Murong Jiu to lure you?" Why are you so bold that you dare to go to Xiliang alone. Although Daqi and Xiliang have been very quiet for more than ten years, there may not be no undercurrents under the calm. ”

Rong Zhan was still speechless.

The emperor sighed, and he said: "The people of Xiliang are not good, and the Xiliang royal family is even more so, especially Murong Jiu, Murong Jiu is staring at you, don't you know how to be cautious!" If you really have something, you don't want the people around you. You're not alone now, you're married, and you still have a wife. Moreover, this time it is inexplicably involved in the Sucheng Marquis Mansion, and you can't come back safely. Don't say what I want, the Queen Mother must not spare them. Isn't it ridiculous that you are looking for your mother, who has been dead for more than 20 years, because of a false message? ”

The emperor's words were not harsh, but there were many accusations in his tone.

Rong Zhan finally raised his head, and he said seriously: "It was my mistake." ”

Saying this, the emperor was surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Rong Zhan has always had that stubborn attitude, never willing to admit his mistakes, but as long as he believes in himself, he will never give up, and he will not be easily changed.

But at such a time, he suddenly apologized, which the emperor did not expect.

He didn't speak, and Rong Zhan continued: "I was too eager and reckless at that time. ”

The emperor sighed faintly and said, "It's good that you understand." ”

Seeing that he had admitted his mistake like this, and looking at his pale face, the emperor could not say anything.

He looked at Rong Zhan and instructed the palace people: "Don't hurry up and wait for the prince to sit down." ”

Rong Zhan's face was so pale, even inferior to someone his age.

He said: "I heard that this time I went out all the way dangerous, thanks to the girl of the Su family. ”

Rong Zhan bowed his head and was very sincere: "If there was no Jiaoyue, I would have died in Xiliang in the future." So, I knew I was wrong, when I got married, I used to say countless times that I could protect her, but this is not the case, it seems that she protects me every time. And I'm the one who keeps stirring up trouble and implicating her. Not anymore, though. Qi'an is also here, I put the words down, if next time I am so reckless, involving Jiaoyue, involving the people around me, then I will go to the national temple by myself......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by the emperor, and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

The Emperor remained silent and continued: "I know that you have a lot of pain in your heart, but many things always have to be looked forward. ”

After a pause, he asked, "Since you went to Xiliang for your mother, what is the result?" ”

He stared at Rong Zhan like this, and Rong Zhan raised his head.

Qi An really didn't sit or walk, he looked at the door, and simply knelt down, and the emperor looked at him.

Qi'an was very straightforward: "Your Majesty, the students are panicked, they are tired all the way, and some are not adaptable. I am afraid, I am afraid that I need to go to the place of reincarnation of grains, and I ask Your Majesty for grace. ”

Poof, a bang, good and dignified, going to a thatched hut is still called grace, the emperor also knew what he meant, with a smile, nodded and said, "Go." ”

Qi'an got up directly and hurriedly went out quickly, very aware of current affairs.

The emperor looked at Qi An's back and said, "This kid is very smart, and although he acts a little informally, he looks at the pattern of things very much. It's very much like a teacher. ”

Rong Zhan nodded, sincerely: "Indeed, if it weren't for Qi'an decisively coming to pick us up, I'm afraid we might not have been able to come back so smoothly." ”

The Emperor didn't seem to care about the process of coming back, and he said, "Tell me about your mother?" ”

He looked at Rong Zhan like this, but Rong Zhan did not avoid the emperor's gaze, looked directly at him, and asked seriously: "Naturally, I can tell Your Majesty everything I have experienced, but I also have a question I want you to tell me." ”

He relented and said seriously: "I just want you to tell me whether the rumors from the outside world are true. “

The Emperor was not surprised that he would ask this.

He was silent.

Rong Zhan said: "You and my mother, are you private?" ”

He stared into the emperor's eyes and asked again: "It is rumored that I am your illegitimate son, but I don't believe this at all. I know how scheming Murong Jiu is. If he really knew this, he wouldn't wait until this time to say it. It should have been used long ago when the two armies were fighting, so as to better attack the royal family. I have been in contact with him for so long, and I know him very well as a person, and I don't believe such insidious and vicious rumors. But I want you to tell me honestly if you have any personal relationship with my mother. ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "What if there is?" What if not? It's all a passing thing. Zhan'er, many things cannot be clearly explained in a single sentence. ”

Rong Zhan calmed: "It's true that I can't say it clearly in one sentence or two, for many people, I believe that these are not important, but they are different for me." I have to know that. If you don't, I'm afraid I won't tell you everything I know. Sometimes, the chances are always two-sided. ”

He lowered his head and said indifferently: "After all, you can't do anything to me, it's just an idle prince, it just so happens that I like it very much." ”
