Before Rong Zhao walked into the front yard, the obviously haggard Rong Ping hurriedly came out with the Lin family, the Bai family, and the old princess Zhao family.

Although Rongping is nervous, it can hold it in the end. Lin stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed Rong Zhao, touched it up and down, and his eyes were moist: "Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao, are you okay?" It's really a sissy

I'm about to cry as I speak.

Rong Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine." The old princess recited the Buddha.

Lin was still touching up and down, looking worried. Rong Ping frowned: "It's almost, just come back well."

He kept staring at Rong Zhao and kept his calm, "Come with me to the study later, and we'll talk about this assassination." Also, there are indeed too few people around you, this time I am not careful, and every time I go out, I have to bring a guard. "

Lin glared: "Ah Zhao has just come back, and the prince will let the prince rest for a while." ”

Rong Ping was obviously worried, but he stiffened his neck: "She is the prince of Anqing Palace, she will experience anything, and now that she is back, she will naturally continue to face it."

Lin wanted to say something, Rong Zhao patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, the child is really fine, after I talk to my father, I will talk to my mother at night."

When Lin heard this, he finally let go of Rong Zhao's hand. Rong Ping snorted coldly: "The prince of the world will not die, if you are fine, go and prepare dinner and bath water, and later-"

Lin interrupted him: "The concubines all know, the prince is about to talk to the prince about business, come out quickly after speaking, don't drag Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao is tired of driving, it is already very hard."

Screen: "......"

Since Rong Zhao started to go out and act, he played the name of the prince of Anqing, and this princess has become a little inattentive to him!

- Honest and wild.

He flicked his sleeves and took Rong Zhao to the study.

Rong Ping really had something to do, and as soon as he entered the study, he immediately said, "Have you guessed who is going to kill you?"

Rong Zhao: "What's the news from my father?"

Although her father is always jumping up and down, and a little pedantic, he is not a stupid person, he has been in Beijing for the past few days, and it is impossible that he has not collected any news.

Rong Ping's expression was serious: "In the morning, I went to see Lord Qingguan of Dali Temple, and from the origin of the assassin, his skills, and his inspection, there are no clues, these people may be the first and last operation."

Regardless of whether the assassination of Rong Zhao was successful that day, kill

None of the hands will have a mouthful.

Extremely ruthless.

But the more ruthless it is, the more difficult it is.

- It is enough to show that the other party is prepared.

Rong Zhao didn't speak, looking at Rong Ping.

Sure enough, Rong Ping's expression became more and more serious, and he continued: "Master Guan said, this matter can basically be determined, and the real culprit cannot be found, and the emperor has suppressed the news yesterday, and no one in Beijing has revealed your assassination."

After a pause, he added, "Neither do I." ”

He looked at Rong Zhao, worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it.

Rong Zhao was assassinated, and the courtiers and high-ranking families in Beijing all knew about it, but they kept their mouths shut together and did not disclose the news to the people.

The Anqing Mansion should have made a big fuss, but the Anqing Mansion also remained silent.

However, Rong Zhao nodded, and understood very well: "The choice of the Anqing Royal Mansion is right, I now have some prestige among the people, and the emperor must be afraid of coming to the Wanmin Book again, so we suppressed the news, and we can't do anything against the emperor." "

Moreover, after so many days, it has basically been determined that the real culprit cannot be found. Of course, it may also be that the identities of all "suspects" cannot be known to the people, otherwise it will damage the royal majesty.

The emperor's attitude is put out, and whoever makes trouble is asking for trouble.

Rong Zhao had already told Rong Ping that she still had arrangements next, and she must not disgust Emperor Yongming. So Rong Ping endured it and didn't make trouble.

Seeing that Rong Zhao understood, Rong Ping breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The mastermind behind the scenes is very cautious, but people who can have such ability can be counted on two hands, and now no one can determine who is behind the scenes, so this matter can only be stopped." "

"However, Lord Guan dismissed the subordinates today and told me one thing......" Rong Ping's voice became more and more serious, "Those assassins did not appear out of thin air, the news from Huaizhou said that the assassins set out from Linfu, and before the assassins left, someone from the Three Princes' Mansion had been to Linfu, and the clothes on the assassins were from the Guo family in Jiangnan, and the swords were from the Ge family in Mazhou."

Rong Zhao slowly continued: "Behind the three princes are the big families, including the Jiangnan Guo family and the Mazhou Ge family?"

Rong Ping nodded slowly, "Lord Guan has found out about these news, but they are all speculations, whether it is the Guo family or the Ge family, the business is very large, it does not mean that it has something to do with them.

"Besides, when it comes to the prince, he doesn't dare to speculate, he told me this information for the sake of you taking care of Guan Mengsheng, and he will never report it to the emperor."

while

However, even if it is reported, the emperor will not do anything. Rong Zhao lowered his eyes: "So this matter seems to be the third prince?"

Rong Ping: "It may also be that the second prince and the fifth prince are in trouble, you went to Huaizhou because of Fu Luxuan, the four princes are not hands-on people, nor are they emperors, then they can only be the princes and Zhang Cheng and other means to reach the sky."

After a pause, he added: "It is also possible for Zhang Cheng, Prime Minister Zhang Shucai, you are famous now, he can't get used to us, may-"

Rong Zhao looked helpless: "Father, don't you have a personal vendetta with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, this matter can be involved in him."

Rong Ping stared.

Rong Zhao interrupted him: "Father Xie is running for me, I probably know it in my heart."

Rong Ping's other thoughts were all put away, and he was curious: "Then you guessed who it is?"

Rong Zhao: "It may be that the third prince is dissatisfied with my rejection of the Liu family and kills me completely, or it may be that the second prince makes a move and blames the third prince at the same time, but they are the left." "

She still said the same sentence, her expression was flat: "The important thing is not who makes the move, but that I can't let them make a move again, I don't have the strength to compete with the three princes now."

She hadn't told Rong Ping that the Fifth Prince already knew her secret, otherwise she would have to scare Rong Ping crazy. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Rong Ping was suspicious: "Do you have a way?"

Rong Zhao nodded: "I have asked Uncle Xie to help me meet the three princes on the fourth floor of Fuluxuan tomorrow, and I want to partner with them to do a business." Rong Ping was stunned, and then surprised; "What business? What business do you have to move the three princes?"

Rong Zhao replied with a smile: "This is the business I prepared for them, and they should be able to move, but there are more crises in it than before."

It has been planned for a long time, but it is just starting to be implemented now.

Rong Ping frowned, and his eyes disagreed: "Don't forget, there are some of them who want to kill you, and the five princes may also see your identity, and it is really dangerous for you to cooperate with them." "

If the mastermind behind the scenes is the second prince, then, the second prince wants to kill Rong Zhao, the third prince hates Rong Zhao very much, and the fifth prince may see Rong Zhao's identity...... In this situation, Rong Ping felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

Rong Zhao: "Father, don't worry. ”

Screen: ".. …'

- I'm not at ease at all!!

Thinking that Rong Zhaocai almost lost his life, and now he is going to mix with the three princes again, he is not a good person

, I really can't understand why she is so bold!

However, it may be the prince who wants to kill Rong Zhao, and Rong Ping has no way at all.

He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "In the future, if you go out, you will bring me the guards, and don't go to other places for the time being, I will see if the mastermind behind the scenes dares to kill you in Beijing!"

When Rong Zhao heard this, he nodded approvingly: "This is exactly what I want to say, my father used to be a person in the army, and if you help me find an escort team, you will have to be a master of ten or ten."

Rong Ping nodded: "Well, how many people?" Ten?"

Yung Zhao: "A hundred."

Screen: "???"

The two went out from the study, and Lin took someone to prepare things.

So, Rong Zhao crossed the brazier again, took a bath, and combed his hair again, and finally had a hearty meal in the princess's chatter

Dinner.

After the meal, the old princess went back to the house to recite the scriptures. The Lin family was about to pull Rong Zhao to speak, but the side concubine stood up and saluted casually and withdrew.

Lin was a little dissatisfied with Bai's perfunctory. At this time, Rong Zhao suddenly stopped the Bai family: "I heard that Concubine Fang is quite worried about me these days?"

Bai was stunned.

She was very worried, but she was not worried about Rong Zhao, but worried that Rong Zhao's secret would be exposed, the Anqing Mansion would be punished, and the two daughters who married out were involved, so she was anxious.

But—

Of course she couldn't say that.

So, the side concubine pulled the corners of her mouth: "What the prince said, you are the prince of Anqing Palace, and as an elder, of course I am worried about ......"

Rong Ping and Lin immediately frowned. Concubine Fang's words were a little unkind, and Rong Ping was about to scold.

Rong Zhao stood up, stepped forward a few steps, and was moved: "I didn't expect Concubine Zhao to care so much, it really moved Zhao, Concubine Fang really understands greatly

Bai: "?"

How is this wrong?

She took a step back suddenly, her eyes guarded: "Didn't Shizi Mo ask me to help copy some leaflets?" Last time, she said that she would never be born again by Rong Zhao!!

Rong Zhao shook his head, surprised: "How come?" Now the leaflets are engraved and then rubbed, I had no experience at the beginning, and now there is a solution, how can I work hard?"

The defense on Bai's face faded slightly, and he was suspicious: "Then what do you want me to do?

"

Rong Zhao smiled shyly: "The side concubine's pen and ink are very good, the last time the leaflet went out, many people were looking for me to ask who wrote it, I heard that it was the side concubine in my house, and countless people in Beijing praised the side concubine."

When Bai Shi heard this, his face was less guarded, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his voice was a little floating-"Ah...... Is that so?"

However, Rong Zhao's voice suddenly changed: "However, there are still so many people who are not sensible, and they actually say that the side concubine's handwriting is very good, but the content is a little rude, I'm afraid that the literary talent is average."

"Nonsense!" Bai Shi immediately glared, and the whole person was not good, "I'm just responsible for copying, and I didn't write the content, what does it matter to me?" Shizi, did you explain it for me?"

As a talented woman from a scholarly family, how can she allow others to slander her pen and ink? The whole Bai family was not good, and they were so anxious that they couldn't wait to step forward and stop Rong Zhao.

"Of course I'll argue loudly for the concubine." After a pause, Rong Zhao sighed, "However, those discussions that I haven't heard are really impossible to justify."

That is, she explains only to those who say it in front of her. More people didn't say it in front of her!

/>

Bai: ......

She was so angry that her cheeks were red, her eyes widened, her teeth were gritted, her hair was about to stand on end, and she was angry: "Then what can I do? I have to explain!

But - with whom to explain, and how?

Bai Shi grabbed Rong Zhao and said eagerly: "You asked me to help you copy, I have been busy day and night for so long, you have to find a way to help me explain." Our Bai family's poetry and books are heirlooms, and I am also a well-known talented woman, how can I be misunderstood? Shizi, you have to find a way!

She is a transfer problem, and she can't solve it by herself, so let Rong Zhao explain. Rong Zhao's face was tangled. Bai Shi pressed step by step: "Shizi, you have to find a way." ”

At this time, Rong Zhao seemed to think of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It just so happens that I have a new business here, and I want to pull the three princes to do it together, which can also prove the strength of the side concubine's pen and ink."

Bai's mind suddenly flashed clearly, and the painful memories that Fu Luxuan had been locked up in the courtyard before the opening of the house frantically struck inexplicably...... Nightmare returns.

She took a step back, her eyes suspicious: Shizi, don't you want to work for me again?

Rong Zhao frowned and sighed: "Hey, I was just assassinated and offended the three princes, the Anqing Mansion is in turmoil, and my cooperation with the three princes is about An."

Qingwangfu future.

The side concubine helped to play one or two strokes and inks, which can not only solve the crisis of my Anqing Palace, a great achievement, but also prove her pen and ink to the world, such a good thing, how can it be a deception to the side concubine?

She shook her head and looked at Bai Shi with disappointed eyes: That's it, it's okay that Concubine Fang misunderstood my kindness, I'll go find someone else...... She turned around, her back revealing disappointment.

Bai's blood went up, grabbed her, and said eagerly: No, how could I misunderstand the son? can not only help the Anqing Palace, but also clear up misunderstandings for me, how can you not want to? What exactly do you want me to do? The prince said.

Rong Zhao immediately turned around and smiled brightly: This matter is a bit complicated, let's go, go to the study, and I will talk to the side concubine in detail.

After speaking, she waved at Rong Ping and Lin, Father, mother, I will go to the study with the concubine first, and remember to send us supper in the middle of the night.

The two nodded in amazement.

White: ???

Wait a minute? Midnight snack?

- Why do you think something is wrong?

Rong Zhao: Concubine Fang, I think in order to prove your pen and ink, you should ......

Her words immediately attracted all the attention of the Bai family, and the Bai family's mind was instantly focused on how to prove himself, followed Rong Zhao, hurriedly went to the study, and gradually walked away.

Rong Ping and Lin glanced at each other.

Lin muttered, "Ah Zhao, what are you doing?"

Rong Ping snorted coldly: What else can you do? and gave birth to a side concubine to work for her.

Lin: ......

Since the last time Concubine Fang was pit by Rong Zhao, she has been very pleasing to the eye for a long time, and now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to see Bai's toe jumping for another period of time.

She stood up happily: "Then I'll go and tell you to prepare for supper." That night, the light in the study was on for the night.

Rong Zhao went to sleep in the second half of the night, and Bai was still working hard to prove himself. The sky is bright, the chickens are awake, and the side concubine has not slept yet.

The morning of the second day.

Rong Zhao received a large number of posts, and she took the pen and replied one by one.

These posts are all "letters of condolence" from the four princes, the Zhang brothers, Pei Guanshan, Pei Chengjue, and other shareholders of Tuan Tuan. There was even a letter from Liu Wanjun. Of course, this one was sent quietly.

Except for Liu Wanjun

Except for one, the other Rong Zhao only replied: Thank you for your concern, Zhao is fine. And so it all the way back to the afternoon.

After lunch, Rong Zhao went to the study.

The side concubine was weak under her feet, holding a piece of paper, and walked out with fluttering hair under her feet, her eyes were blue and black, she was shaking when she walked, and her fingers were trembling, looking overtired.

As soon as she saw Rong Zhao, her voice was hoarse: Shizi, it's done.

Rong Zhao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to support her in a few steps, with a look of concern: "Concubine Fang, it's really hard for you, go and rest quickly, Zhao must help Concubine Fang prove it as soon as possible, and don't let Concubine Fang's hard work be in vain!"

The corners of Bai's mouth suddenly lifted, and his eyes lit up. She held Rong Zhao's hand tightly: You must help me prove it......

Rong Zhao nodded solemnly.

Bai Shi leaned on the little maid and said weakly: "Help me go to sleep, no one is allowed to disturb me!" Rong Zhao looked down at the thing in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction. - Very good, the side concubine is really talented.

With this piece of paper in hand, Rong Zhao happily walked out of the Anqing Mansion and went to Fuluxuan. It's time to officially meet with the three princes and pull a pull.

Before getting into the carriage, Rong Zhao subconsciously glanced at the coachman, the coachman was newly replaced, he was a middle-aged man with some skills, and when he saw Rong Zhao looking at him, he immediately showed a flattering smile on his face.

Rong Zhao nodded and withdrew his gaze. She lowered her eyes slightly, unable to see the emotions in her eyes.

Fu Lu Xuan.

Rong Zhao made an appointment with the three princes for dinner, but the three princes came earlier than the other.

The fifth prince came after lunch, the third prince came in the middle of the afternoon, and the second prince also arrived at Fuluxuan half an hour early. The three of them waited for Rong Zhao in a room in Fu Lu Xuan's [Nine Heavens and Moon].

Although the three of them are brothers, they are also brothers and sisters on the face, but they are bloody in private, so they did not stay in the room, but on the terrace.

The fifth prince sat on the hanging chair and shook it, the second prince sat on the chair with a cold and detached expression, and the third prince leaned against the flower wall to look at the direction of Anqing Palace.

After a long silence.

The third prince Pei Yu sneered: Asked us to meet, but let the three princes wait for him, this Anqing Wangfu prince Rong Zhao is really a big face!

Pei Qin rolled his eyes and mocked: What the imperial brother said clearly made it clear that we came early, where was Rong Zhao asking us to wait? When Pei Yu heard this, he was so angry that he grinded his teeth: You have a good relationship with Narong Shizi? I even helped him speak. Pei Qin laughed out two rows of white teeth, Yes, I am with

Rong Shizi has a good relationship. Pei Yu looked away, his eyes were disgusted, and he didn't want to deal with him.

The second prince, Pei Zheng, has always been silent, and only said lightly: "Rong Shizi actually asked the three of us at once, and I don't know what I have to say.

Pei Yu immediately mocked: He was almost assassinated before, and he finally saved his life, he just returned to Beijing yesterday, and he jumped up and down today, and he was not afraid that someone would assassinate him again.

Pei Qin's eyes turned cold, and he stared at Pei Yu: Isn't it the assassin who is the person of the Three Emperor Brothers?

He only then decided that Rong Zhao was his fifth princess, and someone did it, which was really annoying. Pei Chin only suspects his two older brothers.

Pei Yu gritted his teeth: "Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense, I also said that Rong Zhao's thing was done by you!" Pei Qin's face was expressionless, but his eyes were extremely serious, I will definitely not make a move on Ah Zhao.

Pei Zheng glanced at Pei Qin, suspicion flashed in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and faintly tentatively: "The fifth brother has a deep impression of Rong Shizi, and he can still help him talk like this when he is unhappy.

What's the disappointment?" Pei Qin shook his head and flatly denied it, It was a rumor that day, this prince and Rong Shizi had a good relationship, how could they break up unhappily?

Pei Yu sneered: Oh? Is it? Since you are good with him, why don't you see him supporting you, but invite the three of us? Pei Qin was choked and speechless.

The smile on the corner of Pei Yu's mouth became sincere, and he seemed to be smiling: "I'm curious about what Rong Zhao's purpose is now, and he didn't even act low-key when he was assassinated......

When I returned to Beijing yesterday, it is said that I was still injured, and today I actually asked the three princes to meet in one go.

This man is really daring.

When the words landed, there was the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of mighty footsteps not far away.

Several people subconsciously looked over, and then they were stunned.

I saw that the carriage of the Anqing Mansion was in front, and a group of people were following behind, all of them with a wary face, and looking at the momentum of the action, they obviously had some skills.

Several people looked at each other with blank eyes.

- What is this for?

A quarter of an hour later, Rong Zhao came to the fourth floor.

She is wearing a dark color robe today, which makes the whole person more and more prominent, her skin is as white as snow, she holds a folding fan, and she walks chic and free, beautiful and handsome.

She came in with a Fu Lu Xuan attendant behind her, carrying a strange long stove and placing it on the terrace.

Rong Zhao strode in and raised his hand to salute: "Rong Zhao has seen three

A prince, let the three highnesses wait for a long time!" Pei Yu sneered: "Do you still know that we have been waiting for a long time?"

Pei Qin didn't bother to pay attention to him, curious: Rong Zhao, why did you bring so many people?

Rong Zhao's attitude was natural, and he replied as a matter of course: I was assassinated a few days ago, and I was very scared, so I brought some guards to protect my safety.

Three: ......

Is that "some"? There must be a hundred!!

And, do you want to take cowardice for granted?

Pei Yu taunted: Are you scared? Just now she said that she was bold and reckless, and now she writes cowardice on her face, without any scruples.

Rong Zhao nodded, with a serious expression: "Yes, I'm scared."

The three were speechless.

What kind of person is it that dares to meet the three princes at once, but is so cowardly that he has to bring a hundred guards in the capital?

- Did the assassination really scare Rong Shizi?

Pei Qin was still curious about the "guards" and asked him: You only returned to Beijing yesterday, how did you find so many guards?

Rong Zhao is right: it's simple, add money.

Three people:

Rong Zhao's smile was gentle and natural: "The moon silver given by the Anqing Royal Mansion is double that of their previous moon silver, if I am safe that month, I will be rewarded with another month of moon silver."

That is, three times the moon silver poachs people. No wonder these people walk vigorously and with a guarded face.

Rong Zhao is safe, and they will be able to receive more money!!

Pei Qin couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Ah Zhao, you are really rich......"

One hundred guards, this is a huge amount of money every month, and the three princes also have money, but it costs a lot of money to win the heir, and it will definitely not be extravagant on weekdays.

But Rong Zhao can't say that she is extravagant, who let her encounter the assassination?

Rong Zhao sighed: "It's some money." Now she is not pretending to be poor, and the big lama shows her economic strength.

The third prince snorted coldly, did not speak, and prepared to enter the house.

Rong Zhao said with a smile: "We are eating on the terrace tonight, and we will talk while eating, I have already asked people to prepare the stove and wine, and tonight we will eat something different with the three highnesses."
