It's just that Aunt Yi took revenge like this, leaving such a big mess, it must be a * annoyance.

Just as the poisonous aunt said at this time, if you don't make a timely response to the destruction of Cao Xiangfu, I'm afraid that the Fang family will indeed face a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Fang Dongqiao's head hurt faintly, at this time, she had a bad premonition that the mountain rain was about to come.

This time, she really didn't know if the Fang family would be able to dodge this impending storm.

At this time, naturally no one was willing to intercede for Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye Lao in the Golden Palace, because the emperor made his position clear, and the attitude of completely biased towards Cao Xiangye made those civil and military officials who were like mirrors in their hearts still have something not to understand, so they swept the snow in front of the door one by one, and when they came down from the Golden Palace and returned to the palace gate, they ordered their subordinates to close the door and not see any visitors, such an attitude, The Fang family, who wanted to ask for help, was helpless.

However, this Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye had just been released from prison, and the news of the destruction of Cao Xiangfu's house that night spread, and the one who got the fastest news was naturally the emperor in the palace, Zhou Chengyong.

At this time, he was sitting on the dragon chair, leaning back on the back of the chair, tilting his head and closing his eyes, and when he was annoying about something, the chief eunuch came to him to tell him that something had happened in the Xiangye's mansion.

When Cheng Yong first heard the news this week, he didn't believe it, so he asked the chief eunuch.

"Is this news reliable?"

"Back to the emperor's words, it has spread all over the outside at this time, it is the news sent by Ge Biao, the inspector of Kyoto, saying that when the patrol passed by at night, he found that the Xiangye's mansion was full of smoke and the flames were soaring, so he took people over, and then found that the Cao Xiang's mansion had been almost burned to the ground."

"After that, he sent people to step up the fire extinguishing, and the fire in the Xiangye's Mansion was extinguished, but the mansion had become a pile of ruins, and no one in the Xiangye's Mansion escaped, all of them were buried in the fire, and at this time, Ge Biao only found those charred corpses, and they were unrecognizable, and they couldn't be distinguished, but from the place where the accident occurred, Ge Biao took some of the things on their bodies, and after checking them, he knew the identity of those corpses, and it was undoubtedly Cao Xiangye and his family."

The chief eunuch told the emperor Zhou Chengyong in detail about the news passed by Ge Biao, the inspector.

After the emperor Zhou Chengyong heard the news, he showed a happy smile on his face, and then seemed to realize that he should not show such an expression at this time, so he restrained his smile, and solemnly ordered the chief eunuch to go down, let him pass the news to the concubine Niangniang, and also asked the eunuch chief to bring a lot of supplements to reward the past, and pass the message to the concubine Niangniang, so that she can mourn and change, and don't cry to break her body bones.

Zhou Chengyong ordered like this, where did the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi have no reason, naturally after agreeing, he bowed down and retreated, leaving Zhou Chengyong alone in the imperial study.

At this time, Zhou Chengyong was obviously in a good mood, and there was a faint smile on his face that could not be concealed.

At this time, he was very happy, the last big stone that had been pressed on his heart in the past twenty years was finally destroyed, and he had no handle in the hands of others since then, and from then on, he could sit back and relax.

This week, Chengyong thought of what Cao Xiangye had done for so many years, which made his prestige as the emperor fall sharply among the people, and made him a faint monarch who did not distinguish between right and wrong in the eyes of the people, which can be said to be the sharpest thorn in his heart in the past 20 years, and now that this thorn in his heart has been pulled out and uprooted, where will he be unhappy?

At this time, Zhou Chengyong did not have the slightest sadness of losing the important ministers of the court, he was very happy, and he was in a good mood and really wanted to drink to celebrate, but at this time, he was not good at doing this.

However, Cheng Yong's happy mood did not last long this week, because at this time, someone fell silently in front of him.

When he saw this person's face, Zhou Chengyong was stunned, panicked, and had a trace of hatred. However, this gaffe expression was just a matter of an instant, and when it passed in a flash, Zhou Chengyong regained the majestic emperor.

"Brother Huang, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

After hearing Zhou Chengyong's words, the white clothes floated up, his hands were combined, and he pinched the Buddha beads and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk has long escaped into the empty door, and now the Dharma name is gone, and the emperor can call the poor monk for the word Wu." ”

"No? None? Zhou Chengyong muttered to himself and suddenly smiled bitterly.

"If you really have nothing to worry about, why do you still come to see me at this time? It can be seen that the royal brother is still worried, isn't it? ”

"Amitabha, good, good. What the emperor said is that the poor monk escaped into the empty door, which should have been empty, but because there is one thing that has been pressed in his heart for 20 years, if he still does not stand up to solve it at this time, the poor monk is worried that even if he stays in the place of Buddhism in the future, it will be an obstacle in his heart, unable to be pure, and unable to truly enter the Buddhist gate. ”

After Master Wu finished speaking, he took out a holy decree from his sleeve, a decree of the first emperor that Zhou Chengyong had been looking for, wanted to find and wanted to destroy.

"This, the poor monk should have been handed over to the emperor twenty years ago, but at that time, Rong Ruo had just died, and the Bai family had a tragedy, and the poor monk felt that keeping this holy decree could restrain the emperor, but he didn't expect that this will of the first emperor became the emperor's nightmare. The emperor has probably done too many things for this will over the years, and now, for this matter, the emperor has put the only bloodline of the Bai family, as well as Ye Lao, into the prison, and the poor monk feels that this matter has reached the point where it must be solved. So, the poor monk came over tonight. ”

Speaking of which, Master Wu handed over the will of the first emperor to Zhou Chengyong.

"Your Majesty, in the future, you can do it yourself. In addition, there is something that has been pressed in the hearts of poor monks for 20 years, it is time to tell the emperor that Rong Ruo and Imperial Doctor Bai were only brothers and sisters, and there was no love between men and women, it was the emperor who misunderstood that the two of them had a private relationship, and it was also the infatuation of the poor monk, who did not tell the emperor the truth back then, and let the emperor be angry with Rong Ruo and married her to the poor monk. In fact, on the night of the candles in the cave room, the poor monk had already discovered that Rong Ruo was pregnant, and the child was naturally the emperor, but because the poor monk was greedy, he fell into that idiot, so he never told the emperor. In this way, after the Bai family tragedy, Rong Ruo learned that the emperor had intervened in the affairs of the Bai family, so he felt guilty, moved the fetal gas, and died after giving birth to Yan'er prematurely. ”

After Master Wu said this matter flatly, Zhou Chengyong seemed to be stunned, and he looked at Master Wu in disbelief.

"You're lying, aren't you? You're lying, aren't you? ”

"Whether the poor monk deceived the emperor in this matter, the emperor will find out everything when he investigates what happened back then. However, before leaving, the poor monk had to tell the emperor that when Rong Ruo was pregnant with a child, he had already agreed with the white imperial doctor, if he was born as a second boy or two daughters, he would become a brother or sister of the opposite sex, but if it was a man and a woman, he would become a husband and wife, which she owed to the white imperial doctor, and it may also be that she had a premonition at the time, knowing that the emperor would not let the white imperial doctor go so easily, so in order to protect the Bai family, she specially told the poor monk about this matter, and the poor monk's request for Rong Ruo was naturally unacceptable. ”

Master Wu sighed lightly when he said this.

It's just that in the end, the poor monk still failed to protect the Bai family, and watched the tragedy of the Bai family's annihilation. However, at this time, since the Bai family still has descendants living in the world, and since that Fang Jingshu is the child in Mrs. Bai's womb back then, then he is the husband of Liyan's fingers, no one can change this, and the emperor has to respond, otherwise, Rong Ruo will not be blind under the ground. Because she said back then, if Senior Brother Bai was cut off from the world because of her relationship, she was afraid that she would not be at ease on the Huangquan Road. Therefore, the emperor can hate the poor monk and kill the poor monk, but he can't help but agree to Rong Ruo's request. ”

When Master Wu finished saying this, he had already closed his eyes and waited for Zhou Chengyong's disposal.

But Zhou Chengyong was shocked by the news brought by Master Wu at this time, his mind was all on the word Rong Ruo, all on the bits and pieces of his past with Rong Ruo, so at this time, he suddenly turned his back and said coldly: "You go." Naturally, I will send someone to investigate what you said, but I don't want to see you again in the future, and you don't want me to have another chance to see you, otherwise, I will really kill you. ”

While he was still sensible, while he still had guilt for this imperial brother, Zhou Chengyong decided to let him go.

This Master Wu heard the news that Zhou Chengyong let him go, obviously a little surprised, but it was also expected by him.

So he closed his eyes again and said something to Zhou Chengyong's back.

"Amitabha, so the poor monk has retired, the emperor cherishes it!"

When Master Wu finished saying this, the white clothes floated up, and soon the figure disappeared into the imperial study.

And Zhou Chengyong waited until Master Wu left, his whole person suddenly collapsed on the ground, and at this time, his eyes were full of tears.

Actually, he doesn't need to investigate anything at all, he understands the character of the emperor's brother, and he may lie to him in other things, but about Rong Ruo, he will never lie to him.

Because the emperor's brother has a deep affection for Rong Ruo, so deep that after Rong Ruo went, he entrusted the baby in swaddling clothes to him to take care of, but he himself has disappeared since then, and there is no news.

If it weren't for the disappearance of this royal brother back then, I'm afraid I don't know who sits on this throne, you know, the father's favorite son is him, not him, the crown prince.

In this way, thinking of his father's strictness to him in the past, but the kind of fatherly care for the emperor's younger brother, even when he ascended the throne, his father was still so partial, leaving a testament to the emperor's younger brother.
