"When the third sister was poisoned and was about to die, His Royal Highness was not in the same pain, at that time, His Royal Highness almost gave up everything, lit a fire, and wanted to die with the third sister. Now His Highness asked Cheng Yong, doesn't His Highness feel redundant?"

Rong Zhan was silent for a long time, and stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Yong up: "Do you want to die with Lan Yu?"

Cheng Yong's eyes were red: "Yes, you can't live together, you want to die together." ”

Rong Zhan shook his head: "You can't die, because Lan Yu is still alive." ”

"What?" Cheng Yong was startled, and inadvertently grabbed Rong Zhan's arm: "Your Highness is saying?"

Rong Zhan looked at Cheng Yong indifferently and said: "Lan Yu didn't die, it was Yuan Xi who saved her, and now she is in Guiyunzhou, but she can't come to see you." ”

Cheng Yong was extremely happy, and he probably didn't listen to Rong Zhan's words, but just muttered this sentence in his mouth, "She's still alive." ”

Rong Zhan saw that he didn't listen carefully to what he said, so he pulled Cheng Yong's clothes, stared at his eyes and said, "Wei Chengyong, you listen to Gu, Lan Yu said that she will never marry you in this life." According to Lan Yu's meaning, she doesn't want you to know that she is still alive in the world, and the reason why Gu tells you is to let you understand Wonxi's hard work. Your sister feels sorry for you, and you have to know how to feel sorry for your sister. ”

Cheng Yong looked at Rong Zhan in confusion: "Why? She clearly loves me in her heart, why doesn't she want to marry me? Impossible, I want to go to Yunzhou to ask her personally." ”

"Do you want to force her to death?" Rong Zhan glanced at her: "Lan Yu's life was saved by Yuan Xi's desperate death, if Lan Yu was stimulated because of you, don't you feel sorry for the sacrifice Yuan Xi made?"

How could loving her force her? Cheng Yong couldn't figure it out: "I can't let her down." ”

"If you marry Chenxiang, you won't be disappointed by Lanyu, understand?"

Cheng Yong smiled dumbly, and looked at Rong Zhan in surprise: "What did Your Highness say? I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Lan Yu, how can I live up to her if I marry a princess?"

Rong Zhan said in a low voice: "After the year, the Lan family will be all over the house, Lan Yu is now a fugitive from Dali Temple, do you want to do something strange at this time to attract attention? Only if you marry Chen Xiang with peace of mind, will people believe that Lan Yu is really dead. If you save Lan Yu's life, you won't fail her. ”

Cheng Yong's body shook twice, and he sat on the round pier dejectedly.

Rong Zhan Wenran patted Cheng Yong on the shoulder twice: "Cheng Yong, you are different from Lone, if Lone died with Yuan Xi back then, Da Chu would have more or less an infatuated prince." And if you choose to be with Lan Yu, won't you abandon the lives of hundreds of people in the Wei family? Princess Chenxiang's reputation is humiliated, and the emperor will easily spare you? There are many cool officials in Dali Temple, and when the time comes, you can't survive or die, think about your grandmother, think about your parents, and your beloved Lan Yu. Is this what you want to see?"

Cheng Yong clenched his teeth and tried his best not to let himself cry.

Rong Zhan said again: "Actually, Lone still has a selfish heart. Yuanxi has just become pregnant, and now the fetus is extremely unstable, if you continue to make trouble like this, I'm afraid she will worry about hurting her body. She is a person who has had a miscarriage once, and her body is not as good as before, if she does it again, I am afraid that she will lose her life because of it. Cheng Yong, I beg you alone, for the sake of your mansion and your sister, don't be obsessed anymore. ”

Cheng Yong laughed eating, but tears crackled down his face like beads with broken threads.

"Your Highness, will you be happy with Concubine Zhao? Isn't Concubine Zhao resentful in her heart? If you force me to marry the princess, aren't you afraid of ruining the happiness of the princess's life?"

Rong Zhan shook his head: "No." Wei Chengyong is a righteous gentleman, and he will never bear to torture his lonely sister. ”

"Your Highness believes in students like this?" Cheng Yong looked at Rong Zhan in disappointment.

"Cheng Yong, not everything in this world can go smoothly, such as Lonely, in order to stabilize the Zhao family, isn't it also forced to marry Zhao Kezhen out of desperation? At the very least, you're both giving for each other, and that's love. ”

Seeing that Cheng Yong was silent, Rong Zhan got up and said: "That's all I have to say, as for how to do it, you have to think about it yourself." Whether it is for your personal feelings and harming the entire Wei family, or obeying the mandate of heaven and being your concubine, Lone can't make decisions for you. Actually, it's not bad to be a colt, Miyaka is a kind and beautiful girl, you won't hate her. ”

Rong Zhan left the room, and at the same time Ling'er from the Prince's Mansion was waiting at the door of Xiang Hanxuan, seeing Ling'er's sad look, Rong Zhan's heart was tight, and his palm was covered with a layer of sweat in an instant.

"Is there something wrong in the house?"

Ling'er nodded: "Your Highness, go back and take a look, the eunuch Xu in the palace passed the decree, it seems to be talking about the war." ”

Rong Zhan's face twitched, and Ling'er, the girl, was panting when she spoke, so frightened that he thought that something had happened to Yuanxi and the child.

"I was shocked by something that was happening. ”

Fighting is not a big deal? Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then sneered and said: "The prince doesn't think that the princess has an accident, right? Oh, I understand, the prince is now a beauty, regardless of the country." ”

Rong Zhan glanced at her with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Xu Wenliang waited in the flower hall for a long time, and when he saw Rong Zhan coming in a hurry, he hurriedly stood up, took the holy decree at hand and said, "The prince takes the decree." Edict: The injustice of the country of Lu disturbs my border, and I am not worried. He ordered the crown prince Rong Zhan to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Shangguan Linrui was the deputy marshal, mobilized the soldiers and horses and salaries, and immediately went to Guiyunzhou to conquer the state of Lü. ”

Xu Wenliang folded the holy decree in half and sent it to Rong Zhan: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please get up." ”

Rong Zhan got up, quite confused, and read the holy decree twice, it was indeed Shangguan Linrui's name. So, is the emperor planning to clear the charge for the Shangguan family?

"Didn't my father say before that the matter of Lu Guo was a trivial matter? Why did you suddenly want to conquer Lu Guo?"

Xu Wenliang bowed slightly: "This, the little slave doesn't understand, the little slave only remembers that when the emperor said that Lu Guo was a trivial matter, the fourth master was still returning to Yunzhou, and now the fourth master is in the capital, and Lu Guobian is making trouble again." ”

Rong Zhan put the holy decree on the table, sat down and asked, "Then why don't you send the fourth master?"

Xu Wenliang bowed down and said: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, this is an old saying." But the little slave thinks that if each bell has to be tied to the bell to solve it, and after the solution is completed, it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, then from now on, there will be more and more people who tie the bell, and there will be more and more people who want to be rewarded, and the emperor will be overwhelmed. ”

"Oh," Rong Zhan glanced at the Holy Decree and said, "Where is Shangguan Linrui now?"

"Back to the prince's words, Shangguan Linrui is in the palace, and the emperor is summoning him. ”

......

Shangguan Linrui changed into clean clothes after bathing, hung up his sideburns on his face, and stood in front of the mirror, feeling like a person again. It's just that the face is wrinkled and horizontal, and it looks a little old. Standing in the emperor's study, Shangguan Linrui was in a daze facing a glazed tile.

The Emperor walked into the study and coughed softly.

Shangguan Linrui turned around and arched his hand and said, "Shangguan Linrui, a criminal minister, see the emperor." ”

The emperor looked at him with his hands behind his back, and unconsciously smiled: "Linrui, Linrui, after so many years, I still have this temperament, I have been like this since I was a child, and I have never knelt down." ”

Shangguan Linrui's gaze fell on the emperor's feet, and said, "The criminal minister is a military general, and he can only salute the military. ”

"Nonsense. The emperor slowed down to make a dragon bed, nodded Shangguan Linrui with his hand and said: "You, you didn't kneel to me in the past, because you took me as a brother and brother, and then you didn't kneel because you had hatred in your heart, and you hated me for killing your Shangguan family." ”

Shangguan Linrui tightened his cheeks and arched his hand: "The sinners don't dare." ”

"Actually, I know that you hate, and I understand, many times, even I hate myself, hating me back then, knowing that Shangguan Mansion was wronged, but I could only kill the killer. ”

The emperor's voice suddenly trembled: "But you don't understand, being an emperor has the helplessness of being an emperor, and many times you can't do what you want, you know it's black, but you have to pretend to be white, you know it's a loyal minister, but you have to say it's a traitor." If this were not the case, how could I support the new policy of the imperial court? The important task of the new policy is to reduce the power in the hands of the old ministers and support the new powers, but if you move the power of others, can they give up? They dare not come to me openly, so they can only frame the Shangguan Mansion in order to cut off my right-hand man. ”

Shangguan Linrui raised his eyes to look at the emperor, pursed his lips, and slowly lowered his hands to his sides: "Your Majesty ......"

When the emperor talked about the past, he hid his face and wept, and only said after a while: "Fortunately, the sky is endless, and your brother Linqing still leaves a line of blood. I don't want to see the heroes die in vain, so I have pointed her out to the crown prince as a concubine, and their children will be my great Chu descendants in the future. In a few years, he will become the emperor of my Great Chu. ”

Shangguan Linrui looked at the emperor in confusion, saying this, the girl he saw in Prince Duan's military camp a few years ago dressed as a man was really his brother's daughter-in-law? When he first saw this girl, he felt familiar, and the facial features and figure were not carved out of the same mold as his brother and sister-in-law.

"Then she ......" Shangguan Linrui was full of words, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say a whole sentence.

"Princess Hanzhang fled that year and met a businessman, who fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, Hanzhang was already pregnant, but the businessman didn't care, and married Hanzhang as the wife of the main house, and later gave birth to Yuanxi. ”

"Sinner, can the sinner see her?" Shangguan Linrui has lived most of his life, and he has watched his wife and children die with his own eyes. Now I know that there is an orphan in the Shangguan family, which is a great blessing.

The emperor nodded: "Lu Guo has committed a border, I have appointed the crown prince as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and you as the deputy marshal, to assist the prince in destroying the enemy army." If you return to the dynasty victoriously, I will clear up the grievances of the Shangguan family, and your uncle and nephew will naturally be able to recognize each other at that time. ”

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, why do you need the prince to work in person? Lin Rui alone can kill the thieves of the Lu State without leaving a piece of armor!"
