Chapter 374: Extra-Thirty-Six
"Today's emperor cherishes her business talents, and specially writes a book to reward her as the first imperial businessman in the world, and gives her the title of Princess Jingyao. And the princess herself has always had a good relationship with Zhou Jingyao, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, the fifth prince, and was passed down as a good story by the people of Kyoto, and everyone said that Princess Jingyao would definitely marry the fifth prince as a princess. At this point, Tang Liu's tone paused, and he raised his eyes to carefully observe Gong Huangjue's demeanor.
Gong Huangjue's expression was indifferent, but nothing changed.
"Go on." He raised his hand.
Tang Liu said solemnly: "Yes." Later, I heard that Princess Jingyao disappeared inexplicably, and her life and death were uncertain. The fifth prince Zhou Jingyao sent the royal guards to look for her traces everywhere, and then got clues that Princess Jingyao's unique jewelry logo once appeared in the ancient town hundreds of miles away from Prince Zhong's mansion, and the five princes went out of Kyoto overnight and arrived at the ancient town after a three-day and three-night journey. The strange thing is that the fifth prince stayed in the Peony West House Inn, but he was not in a hurry to find Princess Jingyao. Three days later, he returned to Beijing and did not come forward to look for Princess Jingyao again. ”
"The reason for this, my subordinates have sent someone to inquire, and I heard that there is a woman who looks like Princess Jingyao, and she personally went to the Peony West Building to meet with the five princes. After they had a secret conversation, the fifth prince immediately set off for Beijing. According to the Kyoto Line News, Princess Jingyao did not know for some reason, and was willing to give all her property to the fifth prince to operate, and all the profits went to the national treasury. As for Princess Jingyao's whereabouts, no one knows. He reported the situation in detail, and the words were clear.
Gong Huangjue's silent black jade eyes flashed slightly, and he sorted out all the news in his mind and had a general idea.
It seems that Rong Qiao should be forced to give all her hard work to the current emperor for some reason. But what was the reason for the threat to her?
A woman who doesn't even care about her own life, what will be the reason why she can be threatened?
Thinking of her instantaneous and changing expression just now, the flickering look of horror, and his good-looking sword eyebrows, he couldn't help but lock tightly.
The corner of Tang Liu's eyes swept to Gong Huangjue, who had a cloudy expression, and he stood silently aside without daring to breathe.
Gong Huangjue stared at Tang Liu, who was suddenly silent, and his cold and hard lips couldn't help but pull.
"Have you heard anything else?"
"Back to the prince, my subordinates have not found any other news. Only found out the news of her within a year, and as for what happened to her in the past, Tsing Yi Lou couldn't find anything. Tang Liu said with a guilty face.
"From those friends around her, didn't she find any clues?" Gong Huang Jue's black jade eyes, the water waves vibrate.
It is almost impossible for Tsing Yi Lou to find out the characters in the past.
In the moment when he was slightly stunned, Tang Liu hesitated and said: "Actually, whether it is Princess Jingyao, or Fang Yunyao, the wife of Yi Shuihan, the leader of the Yimen Dead Soldiers, and Rong Chen, the young man who has traveled the world, Tsing Yi Lou can't find out the news of their past, only the news of their past year." ”
Gong Huangjue's expression was shocked.
However, the subordinates found out that the eldest brother Fang Ziling, who was quite good with Princess Jingyao, was the son of the famous county lord Zhou Liyan and the concubine Fang Jingshu. The subordinates were thinking, maybe starting from Fang Ziling's investigation, they might find out about Princess Jingyao's past. Tang Liu continued.
Fang Jingshu's son? His dark eyes were shining.
After a moment, he raised his eyes, met the young man's handsome face, and indifferently ordered: "Continue to explore all the whereabouts of Mo Yutang, remember, the more detailed the better." As for Princess Jingyao, there is no need to track it down. ”
His expression was solemn, and his voice was low and cold.
He would love to hear everything about Rong Qiao's woman and not through his investigation.
What he needed was for her to tell him everything about her.
Therefore, he didn't want to track down everything about her, as long as she was Rong Qiao, as long as she was her, no matter what happened to her in the past, he wouldn't mind, because, she was his woman, the woman he identified.
Tang Liu's expression was a touch of confusion, this was not like the style that the prince always acted in, but he didn't say anything, just knelt on one knee, he bowed his head and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”
As soon as the words fell, his figure swept up and disappeared into the council chamber in an instant.
Gong Huangjue clenched the post list in his hand, and his pair of cold and sharp black jade pupils floated with a cruel cold light. This Ink Rain Hall doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems.
A new champion Lang, he Tsing Yi Lou can't find out his origin, nor can he find out what sect he belongs to, this person is like suddenly emerging from the ground, or rather, it is like a flying immortal stroke outside the sky, with no roots to be found.
Who is he?
Is it because of this?
According to Rong Qiao, a woman's taboo on Mo Yutang's three words, the reason why Rong Qiao was willing to ceded all the wealth she regarded as her life to the emperor was for the sake of Mo Yutang, the new champion?
After all, the horse master that the emperor wants to choose for her today is this Lord Moyutang Dragon.
Thinking of this, Gong Huang Jue's silent black jade eyes, the light color was immediately cold to the bone, and the sharp cold light that squinted slightly swayed with a cruel and cold bloodthirsty taste.
Ink Rain Hall!
The post in his hand, in the palm of the flame he had invoked, slowly burned into a piece of fly ash.
At this moment, an elegant and gentle figure outside the door came suddenly.
Gong Huangjue, who had a calm face, saw someone coming, his strong sword eyebrows were raised high, and his pair of dark midnight pupils were as dark as ink, and the luster was faintly moving.
"Here we are." He said in a low tone, and the cold stiff lip line slightly pulled a faint arc.
"All things are taken care of?"
Gong Huangrui's warm dark eyes and a faint smile floated, and he nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, big brother, the matter has been properly handled." Please rest assured, big brother, this kind of similar thing will not happen in the future. His flowing robe swayed gently in the wind, his translucent and warm eyes, glossy and shiny on the surface of the lake.
Gong Huangjue hummed indifferently, signaling that he already knew. Then he raised his eyebrows, half of the crescent moon mask was projected by the light, swaying with cold silver light, he stared at Gong Huangrui quietly and said, "Second brother, the corruption case that happened in Jiangnan this time, you can go for the eldest brother." ”
"Okay, big brother, I'll leave tomorrow." The warm eyes dimmed the light color, but Gong Huangrui's perfect lip line rose lightly, and he smiled gently.
"Then big brother, if there is nothing else to tell, I will go and pack my luggage and leave." His figure was floating, handsome and clear, and his departing steps were slightly heavy.
Gong Huangjue looked at his thin and lonely back in the distance, and at that moment, his mood was complicated. A look of chagrin pressed to the bottom of his dark pool.
Gong Huangrui walked out of the council hall with a gloomy expression and hurriedly returned to Shuxing Pavilion.
He looked down at the cold courtyard full of rooms, watched the flying leaves sweep the dust, and there was a wordless sadness in his eyes.
Stretching out his white jade flawless slender fingers, the palm of his hand received a new green leaf, the fingertips were slightly kneaded, touching the new sprout with clear veins, and a faint scar like a lilac floated faintly at the corner of his mouth.
His lips twitched slightly, and he actually tasted the bitter taste.
Rong Qiao, who came to discuss things with Gong Huangrui, just captured the melancholy temperament of the warm young man's eyebrows in her clear eyes.
For a moment, inexplicable thoughts touched her heart, she walked over lightly, picked up the green leaf sprout in his palm, and a faint comfortable smile floated between her eyebrows.
"I didn't expect you to be sad and sad, a green leaf can make you sad. This doesn't look like the Gong Huangrui I know. She smiled softly, a playful look streaming down the corners of her eyes.
When Gong Huangrui saw Rong Qiao at this time, his expression was slightly shocked. Then his eyes were warm, sparkling, and his smile was a little hazy. "So according to my sister-in-law, what kind of person is Huang Rui?" The corners of his lips sparkled slightly.
Rong Qiao raised his hand and patted his thin shoulder, and the water rippled.
"In my eyes? Huang Rui is a gentle and considerate man, a man who loves his eldest brother, cherishes his family, and values love and righteousness. ”
Gong Huangrui's gloomy eyes brightened in vain, and he smiled.
"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to speak so highly of Huang Rui, which made Huang Rui a little embarrassed."
When Rong Qiao heard him say this, she muttered the corners of her mouth, and said with a displeased expression: "You shouldn't think about it, because I've been teasing you and haven't given you much good looks, so you just think that I must have given you a bad review, right?" ”
hit the nail on the head, and Gong Huangrui looked a little embarrassed.
Rong Qiao snorted coldly.
"I know that's what you think in your heart, but fortunately, my comment to you is not complete. Do you know? You're okay in other ways, but you're too pedantic, too stubborn, you don't know how to be flexible, you don't know how to turn a corner. For example, me, just by the word sister-in-law, I hear it very awkwardly. So, don't call me sister-in-law in the future, just call me Rong Qiao directly. To be honest, you also know that I was framed and carried into a sedan chair to marry your eldest brother, so this sister-in-law really doesn't dare to bear it. One day, when I earn enough money to repay the five hundred taels of silver in your eldest brother's deed of selling himself, then maybe I won't stay in this loyal prince's mansion. ”
The world she yearns for is not a small besieged city of Prince Zhong's Mansion, she is just temporarily swimming on the shallow water beach of Longlong, but one day she will spread her wings and fly high.
Gong Huangrui listened, his eyes opened, and the waves flew.
"What does sister-in-law mean, oh-" Receiving Rong Qiao's displeased cold gaze, he immediately changed his words: "Does Rong Qiao mean that he doesn't want to be my eldest brother's wife?" Don't you know that my eldest brother treats you differently than other women, and he treats you sincerely. ”
Rong Qiao had a cold mockery floating on the corner of his mouth.
"When a man loves a woman, when he wants to get this woman, he is usually very sweet-talking, will swear, and will satisfy everything you have. But when a man doesn't love a woman, when he meets the next target he loves, you are a thorn in his eye, a nail in his heart, eager to pull you out until death. ”
