Chapter 225: The Wife in My Heart
The assassin who assassinated Jingrong had no way to find out, and Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be furious, and sent people to track it down to show that he, the emperor's uncle, loved his son and nephew even more than his own son. But the assassins were originally sent by him, and there were no traces left at all, no matter how long the investigation took or how many people were sent to investigate, nothing could be found at all.
Although Jing Rong knew it in his heart, he still had to say a word of the emperor's grace in front of the Manchu Dynasty.
Jing Rong felt aggrieved in his heart, but he wanted to eat Coptis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. After getting off the court, Jing Rong's face was gloomy all the way, and when he returned to King Chen's mansion, he locked himself in the study.
Soon, Xiao Li followed, and entered the study all the way.
Today, Xiao Li had already put away his usual cynical style, looked at it, and as soon as he came in, he pounced on his head and asked, "Ah Rong, who sent the assassin?" When he heard the news, he didn't think about it and thought it was Emperor Xuanwu, and he had harmed Jingrong in the dark and in the dark over the years.
Jing Rong carefully wiped a sword with a brocade pa, the body of the Xuantie sword was thin and sharp, revealing a faint cold light, reflecting on his face, lining his sculptural face as if he was in a thousand years of ice. The handkerchief was wiped back from the tip of the sword little by little, turned his back to Xiao Li, and said, "Who else can it be, there will be no one else except our loving emperor." ”
Xiao Li's fire in his heart burst out, and he said angrily: "I guessed that it was him!" You are his own nephew, how can he be so cruel to his brother's sister-in-law? Once or twice is not enough, do we have to kill you to stop? ”
Jing Rong smiled slightly, placed the sword in the scabbard, turned his head, and said, "Xiao Li, I now suspect more and more that my father's death is not so simple, and even my mother concubine was not poisoned to death because of the Li family's jealousy, or that all this was Jing Cangling's conspiracy. He still can't wait to get rid of me, let alone my father, who was regarded as the heir by the emperor's grandfather at that time. His gaze was as cold as ice, and he slammed his fist on the table, "With his ruthless heart, he did it." ”
Xiao Li's expression of anger froze, he couldn't say a word for a long time with his mouth open, and looked at him stunned. After a while, he stammered: "The deaths of my aunt and uncle were caused by him?" He frowned, he couldn't believe it, although the successive dynasties fought against each other in order to seize the throne, and the brothers turned against each other, but everyone knew that the emperor and King Yu were very close to each other, and once on the battlefield, the emperor was injured to save King Yu, and almost lost his life. With such a deep brotherhood, no one could have imagined that Emperor Xuanwu would murder King Yu.
Jing Rong shook his head, his eyes dark as a wick, "It's just a guess, I'm not sure." But I'll investigate slowly and I'll definitely find evidence. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Li, and said, "You don't need to tell your uncle about this, he won't be worried." So I didn't get hurt this time. ”
Xiao Li bowed his head and sat on the chair next to him, "My cousin-in-law followed you, didn't she be frightened?" She is a woman's family, she should have never seen such a battle, and she must have been frightened. ”
Jing Rong looked stunned and said, "She is very bold, and she is not scared at all." Originally, he didn't feel anything, but when Xiao Li said this, he felt a little suspicious. To say that Mu Xuefu is everyone's best girl, in the face of two assassinations, she did not have the slightest fear and fear, which is indeed abnormal.
"Huh? Sister-in-law is not afraid" Xiao Li raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes, incredulous. After thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "Ordinary women have long been frightened when they see an assassin, but their cousin-in-law has the courage to not even be scared. ”
"Are ordinary women afraid?" Jing Rong's eyes moved, and he asked.
Xiao Li blinked his eyes lightly and said truthfully: "Yes, that's an assassin who kills people without seeing blood, and women will be scared when they see it." Not to mention ordinary women, even ordinary men will be afraid when they meet them. ”
Suddenly recalled the smile on Mu Xuefu's lips when Ji Xiu died, and Jing Rong's heart tightened inexplicably.
"Where's my cousin?" Xiao Li took a sip of tea and said casually: "Since the last time I saw my cousin-in-law, I have been full of praise, saying that my cousin-in-law is not only beautiful, but also has a refreshing temperament.
"Xiao Li." Before Xiao Li finished speaking, Jing Rong suddenly looked at him seriously, and his voice was a little colder, "You shouldn't be tempted by a woman in a green building." ”
Xiao Li's hand holding the tea lid suddenly smiled, swiped along the water, his eyes looked at the ripples on the tea, and said in a low voice: "Ah Rong, are you the same as your father?" "Sissed the tea, put the cup on the table, Xiao Li is right, "Xian Yu is also a lady of the official family, just because her father offended King An's Mansion, and finally ended up with a broken family." It wasn't her fault in the first place, and it wasn't her fault that she fell into the dust. She is kind, self-loving, talented, and has a heart that is pure and undefiled. I like her the same way you like Mucheph. Maybe you all look down on her, but in my heart, she is as pure as flawless white jade. Ah Rong, I've been a swinger for many years, and I don't want to be a swinger because I met her. He raised his eyes and looked at Jing Rong, "If Mu Xuefu is a woman in the Qinglou, will you also dislike her as much as you do now?" ”
Jing Rong missed his gaze and looked down at the brocade handkerchief in his hand, which was embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which Mu Xuefu embroidered for him. Although the needle is rough, he stays on his body all the time, which is really a treasure. Sighing softly, Jing Rongfu raised his head and looked at each other, "But Mu Xuefu is not her after all, and she doesn't have her miserable background." Ah Li, I know she is very pitiful, and I also know that she has always been clean and self-conscious, but she is a woman in the land of fireworks after all. ”
"If you marry me, she will no longer be a woman in the land of fireworks, and she will become my Xiao Li's wife." Xiao Li smiled, his eyes shining brightly.
Jing Rong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are the prince of the world, and her identity is very different, do you think she is qualified to be the princess of the world and the future Mrs. Hou?" Even if you weren't surprised, do you think your uncle would let her in? Marrying her as a wife, Xiao Li, let alone a wife, is a concubine, and it is not allowed with his uncle's temper. ”
Xiao Li had a bitter smile on his face, he looked at Jing Rong and shook his head for a moment, "Even if I can't marry her in a dignified manner, at least in my heart I am willing to treat her as a wife." With a twitch of his eyelids, he said: "Ah Rong, the two of us are cousins, but we are also friends, you know me, and what I recognize will not change." ”
That's true, don't look at Xiao Li's usual appearance, but the things he recognizes, no one can change. When Jing Rong saw that he was so serious, he didn't want to say anything, but kept twisting his eyebrows.
The two men suddenly stopped talking, and the room fell silent. After a while, Xiao Li opened his mouth first, "Ah Rong, I really like Slender Language, and I can't pretend to be anyone except her in this life." You also have someone you like, you should understand me. ”
"I" wanted to say something to his lips, but Meiyu said it, and Jing Rong finally swallowed it back. I wanted to say how the Qinglou woman could be compared to his Fu'er, but in the face of the persistence in Xiao Li's eyes, he suddenly realized that he had always been narrow-minded. Love is regardless of identity or status, just like him and Mu Xuefu, if Mu Xuefu also has the same fate as Whisper, what will he do. He thought that if he fell in love, he would be with her at all costs.
Thinking of this, Jing Rong suddenly smiled with relief and said, "Our brothers don't have the same temperament, but this is the only thing that is the same. ”
Xiao Li was relieved, "Ah Rong, thank you for understanding me, I know that the road between me and Xianyu is very difficult, but two people who like each other, it is not a kind of happiness to be able to walk side by side." I think it's because of the thorny road that we cherish each other more and believe in each other. ”
Jing Rong looked at Xiao Li deeply, and slowly shifted his gaze to the amethyst jade string on the table, the amethyst shone with a faint purple light, the glass shimmered, he reached out to pick it up, held it in the palm of his hand and gently twisted each spar.
Xiao Li and Xianyu can believe in each other so much, then he and Mu Xuefu should be the same. But why did he always feel that his wife was covered with a veil all over her body, and he could not see through the veil clearly?
If so, is that still a firm belief in each other?
After a moment, Jing Rong raised his head, his eyes were calm, and said, "Song Yan is Jing Yu's person, find a way to get rid of him." ”
"What?" Xiao Li was incredulous, and almost choked himself when he drank tea, "Isn't Song Yan the emperor's person?" How is it that King Rui is a person again? Who told you that? ”
Jing Rong said suddenly: "It was your cousin-in-law who told me that Song Yan was Mu Zhaolin's person, and since he was his person, he must be Jingyu's person." When I heard the news, I was also very surprised, the emperor's people can become his people, this Mu Zhaolin is really getting more and more powerful. ”
"Mu Zhaolin's henchmen are all over the court, and King Rui is really empowered by him." Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and squinted at Jing Rong, "I'm afraid your biggest enemy in the future will be Mu Zhaolin, that cousin-in-law" paused, hesitated for a few moments, "Mu Zhaolin is the cousin-in-law's father after all, and this family relationship can't be cut off no matter what." There are also Princess Rui and Mu Maoze, who are all compatriots with their cousins and sisters-in-law. ”
The purple spar reflected into Jing Rong's eyes, and his pupils seemed to flicker with purple streamers. Jing Rong's eyebrows swelled slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "She only needs to have this king alone, and there are no unrelated people, she doesn't need to care, and this king won't care." ”
Xiao Li pursed his lips, shook his head and sighed: "Ah Rong, you don't care now, maybe this will become your trouble in the future." ”
"She is my woman, and from the day she married me, her surname is my Jing family. The Mu family, it's just that she took shelter there fifteen years ago. ”
