Rong Qiao suddenly raised her eyes, and she stared at Fang Yunyao behind Yi Shuihan with cold eyes.

"Yun Yao, come on, I want you to tell me, is it Zhou Jingyao?" As soon as she spoke, she held her breath and waited for Fang Yunyao's answer.

Although Fang Yunyao didn't answer her question directly, she nodded, and she nodded without hesitation.

Rong Qiao knew Fang Yunyao's personality, and with her expression, she knew that Fang Yunyao had not deceived her. But what she wants to know is why Zhou Jingyao wants to stop her from going back to Kyoto, and why?

"Why?" Rong Qiao looked directly into Yi Shuihan's eyes.

In Yi Shui's cold eyes, a thin cold light cracked.

"The emperor's house has always been intolerable to have a sand in his eyes. If you're as smart as you are, you'd have already understood. Your career, your wealth, is far from threatening the position of the Son of Heaven. ”

Rong Qiao's eyes vibrate, and the corners of her lips floated with a bitter arc.

"Speaking of which, the reason why I was tied up with sandbags and sold in Prince Zhong's mansion is also a victim of the emperor's power." She guessed early on, thinking that it was the merry ghost's pink butterfly dispute, but she didn't expect that the person who really wanted to plot her was the current emperor Zhou Hongguang.

She is indeed too rich to count, and two-thirds of the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in her hands, but she only cares about making money and has never thought about touching political matters in the past, why does he just not believe her?

Rong Qiao bit her lip, and she asked in a low voice, "Then Zhou Jingyao is also involved?" He has been running with me all over the world for the past year, maybe just to grasp what kind of business I am involved in? ”

Yi Shuihan said lightly: "The fifth prince did not participate in this matter, and at this point, Yi Shuihan wants to say a fair word for the fifth prince." During the days when the princess disappeared, the fifth prince has been searching for the whereabouts of the princess, and even his royal guards have been dispatched. We also saw the jewelry made by the princess a few days ago, and the unique and inimitable mark is the birthday gift given by Uncle Guo to Princess Jiaoyang, and we chased this clue to find you. Until now, the emperor did not know that we had found you. ”

After Rong Qiao heard Yi Shuihan's words, she felt much better, at least Zhou Jingyao's stinky boy still had a little conscience, and it was not in vain that they had known each other for a year.

"So he plans to let me stay in Prince Zhong's Mansion all the time, and it's better not to go to the palace, is it to avoid me from having a conflict with the emperor?" She raised an eyebrow.

"But does he know? I started all that wealth from scratch and managed it step by step to the scale I am now. What about the current situation, how can I be willing to give the huge foundation to the emperor for nothing? ”

That was her hard work, how could she be willing to be taken away for nothing.

Yi Shuihan glanced at her deeply.

"Princess, listen to the advice of your subordinates, you are no match for the emperor. Back then, your father and mother avoided Taoyuan Island from Huangzhou City, which is the best example. The reason why the emperor has not made a move over the years is because the emperor still remembers your mother's life-saving grace to him back then. But the emperor is the emperor, sitting in that position, when something should be decided, the emperor will not be merciful. Moreover, the fifth prince has a saying that is right, your life is the most important thing, as for money, he believes that the future will be long, and you can start over. ”

He took out a jade plaque from his sleeve and handed it to Rong Qiao.

"The people of the fifth prince are in the Tianzi No. 1 room in the Peony West Building, if you want to ask him in person, then take this jade plate to meet him."

Rong Qiao clenched the jade plaque in her hand, she raised her eyes to stare at the golden plaque hanging above her head, which was inscribed with four elegant willow pen strokes "Peony West Building." ”

The inn's Xiao Er watched Rong Qiao stand outside the door for a long time, but he didn't step in, just staring at the plaque with his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little weird, he came out and expelled: "This young lady, if you don't want to stay in the store, leave here quickly, you have been blocking the door of the store, which will affect the business of our small shop." ”

Rong Qiao's clear eyes flashed a faint light, and that glance made Xiao Er couldn't help but look stunned, the kind of solemnity and innate nobility that was unintentionally revealed were not something ordinary people could have.

Xiao Er can be regarded as having seen the world, and he also has a bit of eyesight for people who come and go from the south to the north. The girl in front of her looks like she is no more than two years old, but the wise light revealed from time to time between her eyebrows and eyes, that calm color, is not a girl's bearing, she feels like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, introverted and deep.

At that moment, he bowed and said politely: "I'm sorry, this young lady, I don't know if there is anything that needs little help?" ”

Rong Qiao's indifferent gaze fell on his face, and then she got straight to the point: "Take me to the room of Tianzi No. 1, I'll find someone." "Concise and to the point, no more nonsense.

Xiao Er didn't ask why, he immediately moved out of the way in a flattering way, and made a gesture of invitation to Rong Qiao.

"Miss, please go up to the second floor with the little one."

He led the way in front, and Rong Qiao followed in his footsteps as he slowly stepped up the stairs.

In the innermost room of the corridor on the second floor, Xiao Er turned around and said, "Miss, the room of Tianzi No. 1 has arrived, and it is the only room in this small building." He added.

Rong Qiao nodded faintly, she took out a piece of ten taels of silver from her sleeve and threw it to Xiao Er.

"Reward, it's okay, don't come and bother, if you have something, I will call you."

"Okay, thank you Miss for the reward, the little one has retired, you guys talk slowly, talk slowly."

The corners of Xiao Er's eyes and eyebrows couldn't stop flowing with joy, he hid ten taels of silver close to his body, and quickly went down the stairs.

Rong Qiao saw him go downstairs, she looked up and knocked on the door.

A young man in a strong suit, with a sword in hand, stared at her face with an indifferent expression.

"My son-in-law has commanded, and no one is allowed to disturb now."

Rong Qiao glanced at him lightly, and the jade card in his hand fell abruptly, appearing in his slightly stunned sight.

"Can we see you now?" The young man took the jade card in her hand and hurriedly went in to say goodbye.

After a while, a low and soft voice came from inside the door.

"Is it Rong Qiao, come in."

Rong Qiao heard the long-lost timbre in her ears, and there was a faint light in her clear eyes, and she stepped inside, and a pair of heroic eyebrows were slightly horizontal.

On the mahogany Taishi chair opposite, there was a handsome and lazy charming young man like Lang Lang Qingyu, who was wearing a purple gold and white jade crown, a silver-white unicorn arrow sleeve robe, a white jade jade purple diamond belt around his waist, and a small court boot with stone blue carving on his feet.

At this moment, he saw Rong Qiao raising his eyebrows and staring at him, his beautiful lips pulled the arc of the charm of flying flowers, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes under the eyebrows of Tan Yue flashed with the luster of reunion after a long absence.

He raised his hand, pointed to the opposite position, raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "This king has been waiting here for three days, and finally waited for you to come to the door." ”

At this point, he raised his eyes and looked at her softly. "And if you're here, you already know the whole thing."

The corners of Rong Qiao's mouth twitched slightly, but she never spoke, she sat opposite him indifferently, just looked at him quietly, for a long time, for a long time. Then she spoke.

"The righteousness of a friend is always better than the love of father and son, I can understand it, Zhou Jingyao."

Zhou Jingyao's glowing peach blossom eyes flashed an imperceptible gloom, and then he was still smiling intoxicated. "Have you already decided? Joon Yung. ”

She must have struggled before she came here.

Rong Qiao's clear eyes narrowed slightly, she floated past his handsome face, and said coldly: "That's right, I have indeed made a decision." ”

"Can you tell the king about your decision?" Zhou Jingyao's peach blossom eyes flashed with light.

"My decision was simple. Since ancient times, businessmen have not fought with officials, not to mention that he is still the biggest official in the world, no matter how I fight, I can't fight him. Because he has no worries, and I have worries in my heart. Didn't you just take a fancy to this and take away the fruits of my business without any scruples? ”

She is worried about her father, her younger brother, and a large group of relatives, all of whom are her weaknesses.

Once this affects their safety, she would rather give up the career she has started single-handedly.

What Zhou Hongguang was thinking, she understood that the reason why he hadn't done anything, didn't go to his father, and didn't have trouble with the Fang family was because he had been waiting for her to make a decision.

The strong economic strength behind her had to make the emperor jealous, just as he was jealous of her parents back then.

Her wealth has now become a thorn in his heart, constantly reminding him that she threatens his country.

Similarly, there is a threat deeper in his heart than her, his imperial position, if it weren't for the fact that his father and mother retreated to Taoyuan Island, and the battle continued, it would be impossible for her father Rong Ruochen to have the throne of this country.

So the reason why he cut her was a wordless temptation.

And after she thought twice, even if she was reluctant to give up her family business, she still had to give it with both hands and send her property to the imperial treasury.

But even if she compromised this time, what about next time? What about next time?

Is she still going to be entangled with their royal family?

No, she doesn't want to, so she came here today to tell Zhou Jingyao that her decision is also to cut off all relationships and stop contacting.

She stared fixedly into his eyes, into his heart.

"So, you should understand. There is no next time, including the relationship between you and me, it's time to end it. ”

Zhou Jingyao's peach blossom eyes swept up thin waves, his body couldn't help leaning back, the good-looking Tan Yue's eyebrows condensed slightly, his fingers stroked a wisp of green silk in front of his temples, and raised his eyes slightly: "Is it true that you don't even have to be friends?" ”

A water mark flew in Rong Qiao's clear eyes, and she said indifferently, "That's right." "The tone is sonorous and powerful, and there is no room for manoeuvre.

A soft sigh escaped from Zhou Jingyao's lips, and there was a very bizarre brilliance in his eyes, hazy and indifferent, unable to see what he was thinking at the moment.
