429 Daughter of the Rong family
Changge City is the fastest place for news transmission, just like the wind, where it blows, everyone knows that Princess Chu has set up a spiritual seat for Ronghou Ye in Ronghou's mansion.
But at this time, who will come to the door to stop it, those who always went in and out of Marquis Rong in the past have long been avoided. There is no other house except the Protector's Mansion.
The ladies of the Marquis Rong also received the news and rushed back, and the Ronghou Mansion, which had been cold for several days, was suddenly crowded with many people.
"What about the sixth sister? My father and mother are in prison now, and I heard that they will be beheaded soon. Rong Qing grabbed her when she saw Rong Zhao, she had been running around for many days, and she had also invited people from her in-laws' family to deal with her, but the money and power were exhausted, but there was no way. Until now, she has not even been able to visit her in prison.
Now that Rong Zhao is back, she feels that she has found the backbone, and as soon as she heard about it, she hurried over, "Sixth sister, you should think of a way." ”
Rong Nuan sobbed, supported by Huo Shucheng, weak as a willow, "We have tried our best to dredge it, but it is useless." ”
Huo Shucheng sighed lightly, "The ministers who came back from the palace were silent about this matter, and the various official yamen seemed to be colluding, and several of us worked hard, and there was no problem at all." ”
Rong Nuan burst into tears and grabbed Rong Zhao's hand, "Sixth sister, you are the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Wuyang, and you are the princess of the domain, your status is noble, you must have a way to rescue my mother." ”
Rong Xin pulled away Rong Qing and Rong Nuan, "Don't force the sixth sister, she is as eager as you." ”
Rong Qing was open-mouthed and said, "The Rong family is like this, it's not because of the uncle. If it weren't for him—" Her husband saw that she didn't have a door on her lips, and hurriedly poked her arm, and she stopped.
But the words had already come out, stimulating Rong Zhao, her eyes instantly sharpened, and she grabbed Rong Qing, "What if it wasn't for him?"
Rong Qing's heart trembled, and she stumbled: "No...... It's nothing. ”
With her hand closer, Rong Zhao's face forced her, "Let me tell you, my father is not a rebel thief, he was framed by Xiao Yuheng and Liu Fuxin." ”
"Yes, yes. Rong Qing nodded again and again, Rong Zhao at this time made her scared from the heart, biting her tongue, hating herself for talking nonsense, which angered her.
Rong Xin pulled Rong Zhao's hand away before she let go of Rong Qing, "Uncle still has to go into the ground as soon as possible, where are you going to bury him?"
Rong Zhao's eyes were blank, and he said gloomily: "Vulture Mountain, buried with my mother." They have a thin relationship as husband and wife in this life, but they have a deep love, and they are buried in one place after death, maybe they can continue their relationship in the next life and be husband and wife for another life. ”
"Then when are you going to send your uncle-in-law away?" Gu Jinlin asked.
Rong Zhao's eyes were long, he turned to Marquis Rong, a tear slid down his face, and said, "I want to accompany my father for another day, I want to talk to him again." Once in the ground, I really won't see him again. ”
Xiao Junjue stroked her shoulder and gently wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, although my father-in-law has suffered misfortune, I will be relieved to know that you will bury him and your mother-in-law together." ”
Rong Zhao's lips trembled slightly, trying her best to control her tears, she calmed down, looked at everyone, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the price I pay, I will save them." ”
Her eyes were as cold as ice, and she swept away several aunts of the Rong family, "The Rong family has fallen, and it will no longer be as good as it used to be, and it will still be charged with such a crime." I know that when I got married, there were also political trade-offs, and I know better what it means to worship high and low, but I hope you can treat the daughters of my Rong family well, and don't bully them because of the decline of my Rong family. I Rong Zhao's temperament must be known to you, An Ziqian is a lesson from the past. I declare here that if anyone is not good to the daughter of my Rong family, I Rong Zhao will definitely let him be the next An Ziqian, and I will definitely not let him go. ”
The people of the Rong family can fight inwardly, but they cannot be bullied by outsiders. Rong Qing and the others looked at Rong Zhao together, and they had a taste in their hearts, and they didn't say much, but they understood in their hearts.
Huo Shucheng was the first to stand up, he was a free and easy person, and he was upright, "Anyway, the court is controlled by a group of chaotic ministers and thieves, and it is not interesting to stay, I am a scholar, I pretend to be high, and this official does not do it." His hand was on Rong Nuan's shoulder, looked at her, and said, "Ah Nuan, are you willing to be a civilian couple with me?"
Rong Nuan's heart moved, clasped his hand, and nodded vigorously, "As long as I can be with you, whether I can be an official's wife or a civilian, I am willing." ”
Rong Zhao hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. ”
Huo Shucheng waved his hand, "Sixth sister, I understand what you mean, but in fact, I have carefully considered this decision. Actually, from the time the news came, I felt that something was wrong, and when they returned to the court, I looked at the courtiers, and every time I asked them about the palace, they would dodge their words, and I knew that this must not be the case. Listening to what the King of Chu said just now, I was even more sure that everything was a conspiracy of the King of Qi and the Empress. ”
He smiled calmly, "Although I am a poor and sour literati, I am a little more arrogant, and I have a hard backbone, and I will never be a minister to a rebellious minister and a thief." ”
Xiao Junjue cast an approving look at him and said, "If the eldest brother-in-law doesn't dislike it, you can go back to Yizhou with us, although I am a small vassal king, it is not a problem to find you an official and a half-job." ”
Gu Jinlin said: "Okay, I'll go too, my Protector's Mansion is not much better, since I have nothing to do, I will also go to the sixth brother-in-law to make a living." ”
Although the remaining few are not as free and easy as the two of them, they are like Rong Zhao who promised that they would never treat their wives badly, no matter what happened to the Rong family, everything was the same.
Rong Zhao was worried about Xiao Junjue, and said: "The King of Chu is too dangerous here, if you let the King of Qi and the Empress know, I am afraid that they will be able to hold the handle again." Tomorrow the uncle is buried, you will leave Changge City quickly, and we will find a way to save people together. ”
Gu Jinlin said: "Yes, our Protector Mansion is not an empty shelf, it's a big deal, we robbed the law field." ”
Xiao Junjue said: "You don't have to worry about saving people, I have my own opinions." ”
It is inconvenient for him to say anything at this time, showing up in front of people is already unavoidable, not to mention that it does not guarantee that everyone can be trusted.
As he was talking, he ran in to a guard, "Oh no, King Qi is here with someone, and he is calling the door, saying that there is a Qin prisoner hiding in the mansion, and he wants to come in and search, and the Ronghou Mansion has been surrounded on all sides." ”
Gu Jinlin's heart was bluffed, he looked at Xiao Junjue, "Sou Qin is afraid that he is shaking, maybe he recognized you yesterday." Quick, hide. ”
Rong Xin was anxious, "The Ronghou Mansion is so big, where are you going to hide?"
Rong Zhao calmed down, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he pulled Xiao Junjue to the backyard, "You come with me." ”
King Qi led his troops to break in, and he was dressed in a four-clawed dragon-patterned red court robe, which was particularly eye-catching above the White Banner Soul Hall.
Gu Jinlin squatted beside the coffin of Marquis Rong, burning yellow paper, his eyelids drooped in his direction, and his eyes fell on his feet, "I don't know if the King of Qi has come to the door, and he has missed the welcome, is the King of Qi also here to pay tribute to my uncle?"
King Qi swept everyone around and said, "It's quite complete, and it's all very filial." ”
He walked towards Marquis Rong's side, Gu Jinlin Huo Ran stood up and blocked in front of him, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, King Qi is here, what is the so-called matter?"
King Qi paused and said, "Someone reported to this king, saying that there is still a remnant party hidden in the Ronghou Mansion, so this king has come to search." Third Young Master Gu won't want to stand in the way of this king, right?"
Yesterday, he felt that the people around Rong Zhao were familiar, although he lowered his hat and couldn't see it clearly, but his every move was quite familiar. After going back, he thought about it and suddenly thought that the person was very similar to Xiao Junjue no matter his size and demeanor.
Thinking about it, Xiao Junjue regarded Rong Zhao as extremely important, how could she let her come alone to take risks, for fear of being recognized, and change her appearance.
It is a capital crime for the vassal king to return to Beijing without an edict, if it is really the king of Chu, it is not that he is killing himself. He was worried that he didn't know how to deal with Xiao Junjue, so he sent it to the door, wouldn't he throw himself into the net and seek death?
He looked around, only then did he notice that there was no Rong Zhao in the mourning hall, and his eyes flashed, "Where is Rong Zhao?"
"If the King of Qi thinks that there is a prisoner in my Ronghou Mansion, he can search for it at will. Rong Zhao walked out of the back hall, dressed in plain clothes, and I felt sorry for her.
A pair of eyes, red, swollen and bloodshot, the gloomy hatred under the eyes is not revealed, like a wolf's eyes exuding a blue glow.
King Qi's heart shook slightly, and he said with a smile: "If the princess of Chu still understands the matter, then listen to the princess of Chu's wishes, search, search carefully for this prince, and don't let it go anywhere." ”
The two teams of people passed by Rong Zhao left and right, and searched from the hall, Gu Jinlin and Rong Xin looked at Rong Zhao nervously, not knowing where she took Xiao Junjue and whether she would be searched by King Qi's people.
Rong Zhao glanced at the two of them lightly and gave them a reassuring look.
Xiao Yuheng slowly walked to Rong Zhao's side, he looked sideways at Marquis Rong lying in the coffin, shook his head and sighed, "Think about it, Marquis Rong has been loyal to the court for half his life, but he didn't expect to be confused when he got old, and did such a stupid thing, which hurt himself and the Ronghou Mansion." ”
The anger that had just stabilized in Rong Zhao's chest arched up again, and he kicked at the crook of Xiao Yuheng's leg, using twelve points of force.
Xiao Yuheng didn't check it, her legs hurt, her knees bent, and she threw herself on the coffin, one knee hit the ground, and the other knocked on the side of the coffin. It was a kneeling posture for Marquis Rong.
Rong Zhao looked at him condescendingly, his voice was like ice condensed on the surface of the pond in winter, spreading boundless cold, "Believe it or not, if you say another word, I will break your neck now and let you bury my father." ”
Someone immediately helped Xiao Yuheng up, he glared at Rong Zhao angrily, and said viciously: "Rong Zhao, don't think I'm afraid of you!" raised his chin and pointed his nostrils at Rong Zhao, "Do you know that killing you now is as easy as crushing an ant, don't force me to die." ”
Rong Zhao was not afraid of danger, pulled the collar of his plain clothes, revealing the dragon robe inside, and said arrogantly: "Do you dare?" She pressed step by step, forcing Xiao Yuheng to retreat step by step, "Do you dare?
Xiao Yuheng didn't pay attention to his feet, and when he stepped back, he stepped on the brazier, and the fire "hula" started and burned the corners of his clothes.
