"What does this mean? Not a word? Is it a mistaken letter?" Rong Run flipped through the piece of letter that Yuan Xi folded several times, and then dug out the inside of the envelope, and there was indeed nothing.

"Will it be a change?" Rong Run was a little puzzled.

"No, that's her letter. Rong Zhan took the letter and sighed. Looking at the red cloth flowers hanging in the room, I only felt that I couldn't get down and couldn't get up with a stuffy breath in my chest.

"What does this mean, black and white?" asked Rong Run.

What she meant was: nothing to say, a black mess. Rong Zhan smashed the four treasures of the study on the table with hatred.

"She already knows about marrying?" Rong Run was taken aback, and then a little helpless: "Yes, I don't have to worry about how to tell her now." ”

Rong Zhan grabbed his cloak and rushed out, Rong Run hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go to her and explain it to her. ”

"You rest, you!" Rong Run pushed him hard: "You said you liked Yuan Xi at the beginning, what did I tell you? I know I'm not as good as you, as long as you can take care of her, I won't fight with you! But what about you now?!You have done something sorry for her, just rushed over so urgently, do you want to stimulate her?"

"I don't want to! What can I do!?" Rong Zhan held back a fire in his heart, and he didn't know who to find to vent his anger. was stirred by Rong Run, and his emotions were like a mountain torrent breaking the embankment, and it exploded.

The name of Zhao Shangshu's family is Miss Kezhen, since the people worshipped on New Year's Day, they saw Xiao Rongzhan on the city tower and went back, and they never forgot it. This young lady knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and she has long been a well-known talented woman in the capital, seventeen years old, and her appearance is good. The queen liked it, and she herself was willing, so this family affair was naturally settled.

The queen asked everyone's opinions one after another, and the last two people asked, one was the emperor and the other was Xiao Rongzhan. The emperor naturally doesn't have much opinion, and there is nothing unsuitable about being talented and beautiful. As for Xiao Rongzhan's own opinion, he said it, and the queen just didn't hear it.

"You don't want to, why did you go earlier? Why don't you go to your mother to make trouble!" Rong Run grabbed him by the collar: "I think you are still happy to yourself, how good it is to marry a Miss Shangshu! What is Wei Yuanxi, what is the lord of Donglin, to put it bluntly, she is a businessman's daughter, isn't it!?"

"You bastard!" Rong Zhan punched Rong Run in the face, and the corners of his lips were bloody.

"How do you know that I didn't make trouble? But you don't know the queen mother's temper, if you don't follow her, she won't eat for a day. Can I watch my mother die of hunger strike? Brother, we both have the same father and mother, you should understand the difficulties of the second brother!" Rong Zhan's eyes were red, and he was also aggrieved in his heart, but he never said it to anyone.

Rong Run took the handkerchief that Rong Zhan arrived and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What should I do now?" You also know Yuanxi's temper, he doesn't eat soft and hard. If you explain, she won't listen. ”

"It's that I'm sorry for her, and I'm going to see her anyway. ”

Rong Run hurriedly stopped again: "Second brother, there are still ten days before your wedding, and the road to the west is so far, ten days back and forth is definitely not enough." I think you'd better write a letter to her and deal with the wedding first. ”

"It's not negotiable. Rong Zhan rushed into the bedroom, took two pieces of his daily clothes, and grabbed a few silver ingots and put them in his bag. Strap on a dead buckle, and his luggage will be loaded.

"You're gone, what should I do if I get married? We have never had such a thing since the Great Chu State. Rong Run stood aside, watching him hurriedly make the package, and his heart was also a mess, and all these troubles were crowded together.

"I can't do that much, I'll try to get back as fast as I can. ”

Rong Run still didn't know the bottom in his heart: "If you don't ride my horse to chase the wind, the horse has good foot strength, and it is effortless to travel 400 miles a day." ”

"Thank you. Rong Zhan stepped on the wind and ran all the way out of the capital.

The news that the king of Duanjun left Beijing without permission spread far and wide, first Zhao Shangshu's mansion blew up, and Miss Kezhen of the Zhao family washed her face with tears every day when she heard the news, and later even the eunuchs around the emperor heard the rumors.

The big wedding is imminent, but the bridegroom and the official ran away for no reason, this kind of thing is a family scandal that cannot be publicized in anyone's house, let alone the royal family? The emperor was so anxious that he sent more than a dozen groups of Praetorian Guards to chase after him along the road, but they never looked back.

Afraid of losing the face of the Zhao family, the emperor could only call Rong Run into the palace for questioning.

"Where did Xiao Rongzhan go, this bastard? Not to mention, you will kneel outside the hall for two more hours!" Tianwei was furious, and even the gentian that shocked the courtiers on the case was broken.

Rong Run frowned, he had been in the barracks for so many years, what was it to kneel for three or two hours? Even if he knelt for ten hours, he couldn't tell the truth. If he told Rong Zhan about going to Yuanxi, the emperor would be so hateful that he would eat Yuanxi's meat. At that time, Rong Zhan will be arrested at most, and the punishment will be over, Wei Yuanxi is a civilian, can she afford this kind of thing?

"Erchen doesn't know. Rong Run lowered his head: "Father, you know, the second brother has been withdrawn since he was a child, what is he going to do, how can he tell his son?"

"You are talking nonsense!" The tea cup on the table that the emperor slapped with his palm jumped three times, and the emperor pointed at Rong Run tremblingly: "What has he not discussed with you?

"Father, even if the son is kneeling outside the palace, he doesn't know anything!" Rong Run leaned down: "Father and Emperor Mingcha!"

"You don't know, where is your chasing horse?" The emperor waved his hand and motioned to retreat left and right: "Are you still pretending to be stupid with me?!"

Rong Run's heart was turbulent, the emperor even knew that there was one less horse in his stable, and there must be an eyeliner installed by the emperor in the palace of Baojun. Rong Run frowned, since he lied, he had already committed the crime of bullying the king, and there was no turning back. Rong Run gritted his teeth: "Father, the temperament of chasing the wind is too strong, and the retainer gave him away." ”

The emperor had a straight face, like a colorful mountain tiger entrenched on the throne, and a pair of brown eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to see through Rong Run, and said tentatively: "Your second brother went to Yuexi, didn't he?"

As soon as the word Yuexi came out, the last line of defense in Rong Run's heart was completely crushed by the emperor, and he was a little flustered: "Father, this is nothing, what is the second brother doing in Yuexi, he is ...... He was, he went to Donglinzhou. Rong Run pulled out the lie of Donglinzhou, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

"Donglin?"

The emperor did not believe it at all.

"Donglin, father, the second brother is in Donglin at the moment, he must be in Donglin!" Rong Run kowtowed a few times: "Father, the royal family needs the second brother in Donglin!"

A dignified prince, for the sake of his children's personal feelings, disregarding the royal decency, leaving behind the bride who is about to get married, this matter will make the royal family lose face. So even if Xiao Rongzhan is really in Yuexi, the royal family can't admit it.

Rong Run's words are clear, the royal family must declare that Xiao Rongzhan went to the Donglin battlefield, only in this way can the royal face be saved!

Seeing that the emperor's face was a little calmer, Rong Run continued: "The second brother heard the report of the war in Donglin in the court every day, and he was so anxious that he thought that there was something important to discuss with the eldest brother, so he went to Donglin. ”

Rong Run's words were just about the emperor's heart, and the emperor snorted: "That's right, your second brother is a rare loyal and patriotic, and he has his reasons to go to Donglin." ”

Seeing that the emperor was also following a serious nonsense, Rong Run gradually felt that he didn't seem to be so angry, so he tentatively asked. "Father doesn't blame the second brother?"

"Hmph!" the emperor let out a cold nasal voice with a hint of disdain: "You two bastards, what trouble for the royal family!"

Since he is willing to open his mouth to curse, it means that he is beginning to lose his anger. Rong Run bowed and kowtowed: "What my father scolded is that my son must think twice in the future and dare not be reckless." ”

"Have you seen the merchant's daughter?" the emperor leaned on the dragon throne, staring at Rong Run.

"Father, what kind of merchant's daughter? Erchen doesn't know what you're talking about. Rong Run lowered his head, as soon as he lied, his face couldn't help but rise red, as long as he raised his head, he would be immediately debunked by the emperor.

"Don't pretend to be confused, it's the daughter of the comprador of the inner government surnamed Wei, and you two brothers still beg me to make her the county lord. The emperor smiled a little: "How is it, she is beautiful?"

Rong Run was a little confused, why? Father didn't scold Yuan Xi for being a demon girl, why did he still ask her if she was beautiful? Could it be that her father still wanted to take on a new concubine at a young age? But the words couldn't be broken in person, Rong Run only picked up some words that didn't stick to the front and prevaricated: "Father, how beautiful can a businessman's daughter be? Even the younger sisters of the sons and daughters can't compare, let alone the concubines in the palace." ”

The Emperor smiled disappreciatively.

"Didn't my father summon her last time? You named her the lord of Donglin County, and she entered the palace to thank her. ”

The emperor didn't answer, and that time Yuan Xi didn't even raise his head, he kept kneeling, and he looked quite dignified, a bit like a royal lady. And very good at talking.,It's a clever character.。

"That's it, you go. As he spoke, the emperor called the eunuchs to come in and grind.

An emperor's decree delayed the wedding of Xiao Rongzhan and Miss Zhao into an indefinite date. Since Xiao Rongzhan had already gone to Donglin, he could not come back immediately, and the emperor personally ordered Xiao Rongzhan to take over the post of Xiao Rongshen to supervise the army, and the prime minister of Donglin to quell the chaos. In order to appease Xiao Rongshen, the emperor named him the king of Hejun, which can be regarded as a slap and three rubs.

The holy decree was handed over to Rong Run, and that day the emperor called Rong Run to his side, chatted for a while, and casually instructed him.

There were only a few words of instruction, and three of them were done in a row. Rong Run was stunned for a long time, and always felt that the emperor had a meaning of procrastination in and out of his words, but why delayed, he didn't dare to ask. He didn't ask, and the emperor didn't answer, so he barely knew it.

Since it is to be done well, it must be done slowly and in the same way.

Rong Run saved the holy decrees one by one, and when he saw Qin Shun hurriedly packing and saluting, he lost his temper and kicked him in the head: "Who asked you to get these in advance?"

Qin Shun felt aggrieved: "Sixth Master, let's go all the way, why don't we prepare carefully?"

Rong Run stretched out his hands: "I want to sleep for three days first, no matter who comes to me, I will say that this king has accidentally contracted the wind and cold, and he is in bed to recuperate, and it is not suitable to see guests." ”
