Rong Zhan doesn't know what the emperor is thinking, but he himself knows that everything is only one step away, and it is not himself who is affected, he still has a wife and children.

After Rong Zhan returned home, she was looking for the usual, Jiaoyue was a little tired these days, and she had gone to bed early, Rong Zhan sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleeping face, full of tenderness.

Jiaoyue felt in a daze that someone was looking at her, she turned over, opened her eyes, and sure enough, Rong Zhan was back.

She asked in a daze, "Is there something going on in the palace?" ”

Rong Zhan shook his head: "What can happen, it doesn't matter after all." ”

Speaking of this, with a little smile, he said softly: "You continue to sleep, I'll go to the study, and I'll come back to accompany you later." ”

Jiaoyue snorted softly, like a kitten.

Rong Zhan lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "Sleep for a while." ”

Then slapped Jiao Yue a few times, Jiao Yue felt in a daze that this person really regarded herself as a child, but even so, she quickly fell asleep again.

Rong Zhan saw who she was familiar with, showed a smile, and then tiptoed up, his voice was very soft.

Coming to the courtyard, Rong Zhan quietly sneaked into the back alley in the direction of the side courtyard, because of the curfew, the back village was quiet, Rong Zhan just turned around a few times, and entered a very ordinary house, very close to the Yuwang Mansion, but this piece happened to live not a dignitary. That is, the family of the rich people on the ordinary road.

When Rong Zhan entered the door, he saw that someone immediately stepped forward: "Lord Wang." ”

Rong Zhan bowed his head and followed into the door, he entered the cellar, who would have thought that there was a secret room in the cellar. If ordinary people see the cellar, they are suspicious, and they will leave if they can't find anything, Rong Zhan is using this heart, in the cellar, there is another secret room, there is no cave.

He turned on the mechanism and entered the inner chamber.

A vicissitudes of life and emaciated man sat on the edge of the bed and looked at this side, and saw that it was Rong Zhan coming in, and he paused for a moment, but then he was a little abrupt, he knelt down and said goodbye: "."

Rong Zhan said: "Get up, at this time, you don't have to stick to the number of etiquette, in fact, it doesn't make much sense." ”

Su Dalang was a little embarrassed, standing aside, a little cramped, he was also a prominent minister in the court, but he didn't want to come to such a point today.

He has long been no longer a man, and now he can't even do it himself.

However, Su Dalang has gone through so many rights and wrongs, but he has also seen it. After all, she still has a life, how many people have not gained anything, and even lost their lives. Now he is at least alive. At the very least, his son already has a place in the Hanlin Academy.

Thinking of this, he felt that his efforts were still worth it, after all...... The emperor's order is hard to disobey, even if you don't want to accept this, what can you do!

Su Dalang said: "I'm causing trouble to you, Lord Wang." ”

Rong Zhan said: "It's not a trouble, it's just that you have to live in this dark place for a few more days." ”

Su Dalang immediately said: "At least I can still live, isn't it good?" ”

Rong Zhan was speechless.

Su Dalang smiled bitterly and said, "To be alive, I don't ask for anything else." ”

Rong Zhan said: "In the past two or three years, you naturally have no chance to go out, if you go out, it will be a big deal." I think you should know that if you will cause a little instability to the Sucheng Marquis Mansion, I will not hesitate to kill you. ”

Su Dalang nodded immediately, he understood this very well, and he even understood why Rong Zhan helped him. It is precisely because it is too clear that it will be more cautious.

Rong Zhan said: "After three or five years, many things have been settled, and I will arrange for you to go out." ”

Su Dalang looked at Rong Zhan in disbelief.

Rong Zhan said: "I will find a temple for you in the field and let you concentrate on cultivation, what do you think?" ”

With this, Su Dalang left, knelt down with a thud, and said, "."

When he returned to the capital, he never thought that he would be able to go out one day, even if it was dark, but it was great to be able to see his relatives once in a month or two, and to hear news from his family every three or five days. He really didn't dare to ask for more.

"What happened that year, it was my fault, I took someone to identify the prince and princess, but I ...... I have my own embarrassment, and I ask Lord Wang not to remember the villain. ”

Su Dalang kept kowtowing.

People are under the roof, that's it, there are no more options.

Rong Zhan didn't move, he stood there and said, "You don't need to be like this, after all, you didn't really identify us. Although, I'm sure you'll identify us if you see us. Instead of letting us go as you told your father-in-law. But I don't make any assumptions, you didn't testify at the beginning, and I won't settle accounts with you today. ”

Su Dalang was sweating, but he was relieved to hear him say this.

"Although I have placed you here, I will not treat you badly. It's just ......," Rong Zhan paused, "there's one thing, you need to be honest with me. ”

Su Dalang immediately said: "Please say, I must know everything and say everything." ”

Rong Zhan paused, looked at him, and said, "It was nearly twenty years ago. ”

Su Dalang was a little puzzled.

Rong Zhan stared at him and asked slowly, "Mother-in-law was calculated at the beginning, did you do it?" ”

Rong Zhan asked bluntly.

Su Dalang was stunned for a moment, and his whole face turned pale.

Rong Zhan knew a thing or two just by looking at this expression, he laughed coldly, and said slowly: "Jiaoyue really didn't guess wrong, it was really you." ”

Su Dalang raised his head and was serious: "It's me, but I can't help it." It turned out that Jiaoyue guessed. ”

Rong Zhan frowned.

Su Dalang said: "It was the Queen Mother who instructed me so much, I am a courtier, and I have no more right to decide what to do for myself, and I have no choice but to agree and do it." ”

His face was very painful: "Although I am not a very good person, my relationship with my brothers and sisters is excellent. Whoever they are, I don't want to hurt. They are all my fellow citizens, and so are the people they hold dear. I know how painful it is for the third brother to marry Qi Yingxin, how could I harm her. Besides, she is my brother's daughter-in-law, and I have nothing to do with her. ”

Rong Zhan didn't say anything, just looked at Su Dalang.

Su Dalang said: "It was the Queen Mother who instructed me to do this, and she instructed me to buy my mother-in-law when Qi Yingxin gave birth to her second child, but it turned out to be a mistake and did not succeed." Then the third brother became very cautious, and I didn't have a chance to do it myself. The Queen Mother didn't know what to think, but she also informed me that I didn't have to do it, and I was relieved at that time. ”

Rong Zhan said slowly: "But then you started again, don't say it, it's not you the second time." Jiaoyue recognized the person as your lady's maiden family. ”

Su Dalang nodded: "Indeed, there is a second time." It was when Lord Qi Zhizhou's order was about to come down, and the Queen Mother arranged it again, and this time I still didn't succeed. It was also this time that I was actually found. ”

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows and stared at him.

Su Dalang said: "The second thing came out, the third brother found me, and it is impossible for me, as an elder brother, not to admit it to my younger brother." At that time, I confessed the matter to him, and promised that if I did it again next time, I would die without a place to bury, and he could be without me as an older brother. He, although he didn't forgive me, pretended not to have it. Later, Qi Zhizhou also found out that it was me, and I thought that I was not a very clean person, and there was no way. I admit it, but the Queen Mother used my wife and children as a threat, and I really can't do anything about it. I knelt down and begged Qi Zhizhou, and he said that he would take care of everything, and from then on, I would secretly pass on a lot of things to Lord Qi. ”

Rong Zhan was silent, he also wondered if someone had found out the truth back then, if not, how could the matter of an inner house be over. In this way, it seems that many people really know about this matter.

It's just that Su Saburo and Qi Zhizhou both chose not to say it.

Oh, yes! Say it? It is not Su Dalang who really wants to hurt people, he is forced to be helpless, without him, there are others.

As long as the Queen Mother has a heart, there will always be people who want to harm Qi Yingxin.

"And then? The Queen Mother never looked for you again? ”

Su Dalang nodded: "Yes, after Lord Qi Zhizhou knew, this incident never happened again, and the Queen Mother didn't even summon me or my wife and daughter alone." ”

After a pause, Su Dalang said: "I didn't understand it originally, but I didn't know it later." Lord Qi Zhizhou should have been gifted to His Majesty. Because His Majesty later used this incident to force me to collude with Princess Rongzhen. ”

Rong Zhan looked at him suddenly.

Su Dalang said: "Although I am not a decent gentleman, I will not have an affair with a princess who has married to Xiliang." But I can't do it, I can only pretend that I have a deep affection for her, I can only pretend to like her, just because, Your Majesty needs me to do this. As for the fact that Rong Zhen wanted to cooperate with Murong Jiu to kidnap Jiaoyue back then. That time, in fact, I gave it to His Majesty, and His Majesty said that I should do it. ”

Su Dalang kept beating his head: "I have no choice, the emperor, the queen mother, I can't afford anyone, the third brother refuses to go out, my father is upright, I have no way, I may be a villain, I may be a cowardly person, but I have no way." I can only obey, I have to protect my family, the Sucheng Marquis Mansion, and my wife and children. I even went to Xiliang to be a eunuch, a good man, who wants to be a eunuch, who wants to be a eunuch......"

Su Dalang was a little broken, Rong Zhan saw him like this, and knew in his heart that what he said must be the truth.

He softened and said, "Rest well, I know the rest." ”

Turn around and leave.

Su Dalang shouted to him: "Lord Wang, why didn't you ask about the queen?" ”

Rong Zhan raised the corners of his mouth as if he didn't have anysight: "Is she important?" In comparison, I want to know more about Jiaoyue. Because only Jiaoyue is important. ”
