CHAPTER XXXVI
Chapter 078
Early the next morning, Su Ying and Wei Xue went to the Horse Mansion where the second princess Murong Zi lived.
Dealing with a shrewd woman like Murong Zi is always a headache, and her husband is nothing worth mentioning - an old-fashioned scholar who has been well-behaved and law-abiding all his life.
Su Ying understood from her tone that she would not do anything unfavorable to her son.
Therefore, even if he used to take care of his younger brother in every way, he would not help Murong Jingyi now.
But it didn't matter, Su Ying had already guessed that she would say this, so he was just tempting and didn't want to solve it all at once.
Since the capable mother can't do it herself, let's start with the incompetent son.
Thinking about it, Su Ying walked out of the Pony Mansion, and glanced back with a smile on the corner of her lips.
Midnight.
Su Ying had only been asleep for a few hours when someone knocked on the door, "Childe, Childe!" β
Su Ying thought in his heart, indeed, the demon Gu in Murong Fan's stomach took his order before going to bed. After taking the order for so long, it's time to react a little.
It's a pity that the demon Gu can only act in the human world, and there is an age limit. Otherwise, you will act more quickly.
Su Ying turned over, took his clothes and put them on his body, "What?" β
"Childe, Murong Fan was discovered on the spot for trying to offend Murong Yuan's favorite Qi Guifei, and Murong Yuan is furious!" Humanity outside the door.
Su Ying nodded with satisfaction.
"Enter the palace."
Now, Murong Fan is too big, Murong Jingyi is very successful, compared to ministers with brains, they will wait and see in the short term, at least they will not be in a hurry to stand in line.
A few days ago, the hall that was still lit up with red wine and green cups was silent at this time, and Murong Jingyi was standing aside, still wearing a hastily draped dressing gown, looking a little tired. He looked at Murong Fan who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with the smell of wine on his face.
Murong Yuan was obviously furious, and he was trembling with anger.
"I usually spoil you too much, you are really lawless! I'm not dead yet? He coughed again with an angry heart.
Murong Zi knelt aside, her face was as white as rice paper from the cold marble floor, her eyes were red, her tears were rippling, her voice was dumb, and she pleaded vigorously.
"Father, this matter is all about Fan Er's wrong! But Fan'er didn't offend her father, she was just drunkβ"
"Shut up!" Murong Yuan scolded sharply, "Unintentionally offended? After a pause, he sneered: "It's not called offense, how can it be called offense?" Could it be that Concubine Qi intended to plant you, or was it because I was blind? β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ What a daredevil!! There is no punishment for sin!! β
Everyone can see that Murong Yuan is angry, and Concubine Qi is still next to the pear blossoms and rain, I see crying pitifully, how can I say that I will let him go? At this time, Murong Zi was really anxious to protect his son, and he was dizzy.
Murong Jingyi stepped forward, knelt beside Murong Zi, and said, "Father, please calm your anger." Second sister justβ"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Rest the rage!" Murong Yuan pointed at Murong Jingyi's fingers trembling, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded, jumping non-stop, his face turned pale, "What a wicked obstacle!" What qualifications do you have to talk about the Murong family? Who are you? β
Murong Jing's body stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Although Murong Yuan didn't wait to see Murong Jingyi before, he never said such cruel words.
Murong Zi couldn't help but feel sorry for Murong Jingyi when he saw Murong Jingyi being treated like this for his son, his eyes were sour, tears filled his eyes again, and he raised his handkerchief to hide his face and wept.
She is shrewd and capable, long-sleeved and good at dancing, but in the end, she is a woman, and her father values her, but he will not reward her with an official title to allow her to participate in politics, so her husband and son are all her spiritual support, especially this son whom she has devoted her life's work to.
Looking at this disheveled, drunken son, who didn't say a word, and his eyes were confused and straight, Murong Zi's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't cry.
"Prince Yong of the Demon Realm has arrived-"
Murong Zi's heart was shocked, and he turned to look at the person who walked into the main hall - the man was hastily draped in clothes, and he didn't even comb his hair.
"Prince Yong......" Murong Yuan narrowed his eyes, and gave an eviction order in an unkind tone, "This is a housework in my human world, if you don't work for the prince, please go back!" β
Su Ying smiled disappreciatively and said, "Housework is right, but this king has a few words to say, and after speaking, you don't need Your Majesty to rush, this king himself will leave." β
Murong Yuan snorted coldly without saying a word, which was counted as an answer.
"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong. The son of the world is still young, and he is a young man, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant. But the prince is trusted by His Majesty, which shows that he is not useless. Your Majesty's vision is thorough, and it can be seen that the son of the world is a great talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, and it is inevitable to be stubborn for a while. β
"It is better to make small mistakes in the early years than to make big mistakes when governing the country. Besides, I also ask Your Majesty to remember the first offense of the son of the world, forgive one or two, and leave a usable person for the Murong family. If the son refuses to repent, it is not too late to punish him. Su Ying paused, "Besides, if this matter spreads, it will only do a hundred harms to the prince and the Murong royal family." Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will think twice. β
Murong Jingyi glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.
After finishing speaking, Su Ying arched his hand, "Everything that should be said has been said, and this king will leave." β
Murong Yuan, the old man, had been cultivating Murong Fan vigorously, and he was unwilling to pass on the throne to the titular prince Murong Jingyi, which had already withstood a lot of pressure, and now there are people who are willing to praise his vision and his favorite grandson, even if he has a great atmosphere, he will be relieved.
This step was given to him, and Su Ying could be regarded as giving them enough face.
If he is still stubborn at this time, it will inevitably hurt the harmony between the two. Murong Yuan is so shrewd, this kind of mistake will definitely not be made.
Moreover, if Murong Fan is dead, who will Su Ying use to balance Murong Zi?
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the early morning of the next day, news came from the palace: Murong Yuannian was thinking that blood was thicker than water, and Murong Fan was under house arrest. However, considering the prestige of the heavenly family, he was not allowed to go to court for three months.
On this day, Su Ying visited the Pony Mansion again.
"Lord Wang!"
Closing the door, Murong Zi knelt in front of Su Ying with a "poof".
Su Ying held her hands, smiling on her face, and did not retreat or give in, but she did not open her mouth or help her up.
Murong Zi waited for a moment, and found that it was not what he expected, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then stretched again.
"The prince's life-saving grace to the child, Murong Zi will never forget, and there is no way to repay it."
Su Ying said "princess politely" and helped her up.
Su Ying really didn't guess wrong, Murong Zi's weakness was her son. Took her son, more than anything else.
Su Ying struck while the iron was hot and cut to the chase.
The two sat in the main hall, and Su Ying said slowly: "After this incident, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly." The tone was a bit ridiculous.
Su Ying's tone was so lukewarm, thinking that Murong Zi understood what he meant.
"The prince doesn't have to be like this." Murong Zi looked sideways slightly, looking a little gloomy, "Isn't the prince's trip to the human world to assist Murong Jingyi in seizing the throne?" β
Su Ying raised an eyebrow, "The princess is really smart." He paused, "In that case, what is the princess's plan?" β
"The concubine has a word, and I ask the prince to answer truthfully." Murong Zi looked up at Su Ying and said.
Su Ying knew what she was going to ask, so she just smiled.
"Although Fan'er is not shrewd, she will not be so ignorant. At this juncture, he would never do that...... Is he controlled by you? What is in your hands? Murong Zi suddenly raised his eyebrows and stood upside down, looking at Su Ying, but he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
Su Ying stared at her face, smiled unhurriedly, and tapped her fingertips on the table.
"Don't be a villain and leave a laughing stock for the world!" Murong Zi saw that he was unmoved, and said hurriedly.
"What does the princess think?" Su Ying didn't answer directly, but still laughed.
"Isn't it?" She stood on her brow.
Su Ying looked at her and stood up.
"The princess has said all this? So what else is there to talk about? The king did not annoy the princess, so he took his leave. After speaking, Su Ying walked to the door and said, "...... The princess stays, and she doesn't have to send it. β
Before Su Ying could reach the door, Murong Zi's voice came from behind him.
"The prince stays!" There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Murong Zi hurried up, looking a little resentful and a little helpless, "Fang Cai...... The concubine was rude. Lord Wang, please go to the inner room and sit down. As he spoke, he led Su Ying in.
Su Ying stopped her and said, "No need. I only ask the princess one word? β
Murong Zi looked back at him.
Looking at her expression at the moment, Su Ying knew that this matter had been completed.
"Does the princess want to be the queen mother, or is she going to be a mother?" Su Ying's tone was faint, a completely irrelevant look.
Murong Zi looked at him for a long time, his eyes were sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes suspicious, and sometimes helpless.
Su Ying didn't dodge or dodge, just met her somewhat terrifying gaze.
Murong Zi lowered his head and slowly spit out two words, "...... Mother. β
"Okay." Su Ying laughed, and her voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it, "As long as the princess assures me that after Murong Jingyi ascends the throne, she will sincerely assist him and be willing to be a minister for the rest of her life, and this king can keep the foolish illness of the prince again." How is it? β
Murong Zi's body was trembling slightly, obviously difficult to choose.
"Princess?" Su Rou urged.
ββ¦β¦ Good. She only said one word.
"Good." Su Ying said with satisfaction.
"The princess promised, and I kept my promise. However, the princess should be careful when acting, if something unexpected happens to the king, the life of the prince will be difficult to protect. β
"The concubine understands." She kept her head down, and her eyes were a little red.
"Princesses are smart people. For the next month, the king had his own discernment. The princess does not send it. Su Ying turned to leave.
