Glory to the ancestors

"Why did the emperor send you to the southern border?" The queen mother's voice was full of anger, thinking that she was uncomfortable just now.

"I don't know," Rong Zhen lowered his head, so as not to let others see his gloating expression, "The emperor directly sent people to the minister's mansion to announce the decree, and the minister couldn't refuse."

"Don't he know that you and Prince Nan are incompatible with each other, doesn't he deliberately ask you to die!?"

The Queen Mother still cares about herself.

Rong Zhen suppressed the sneer in his heart, raised his head, and looked sad, "I know it well, but the emperor's order cannot be violated. Besides, the emperor explained it in court, and I only have one line."

The queen mother slowly closed her eyes, as if to calm down her emotions, "This is the first time he bypassed me and made such a decree, do you know?"

Rong Zhen nodded his head pretending to be heavy, "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty has grown up too."

"That's right, he's grown up, and it's time to fly away from me," the Queen Mother sighed, "There will still be such a day."

Rong Zhen heard her words with deep meaning, it is not his style not to provoke at this time, "Queen Mother, since the emperor is going to send me out now, it is unknown what the next move will be."

"The next step," the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "start thinking about the Imperial Army."

The guess was quite accurate, Rong Zhen answered silently in his heart, knowing the child is better than the mother.

"I think he has long been determined to take back control of the Forbidden Army, but he doesn't want to think about the surname of the commander of the Forbidden Army."

You don't even think about what the country's last name is.

If Rong Zhen could speak out what was in his heart, he was afraid that nine heads would not be enough to chop off, so he could only arch his hands, "Queen Mother, you are also the emperor's biological mother, no matter how eager he is to gain power, he will not let things go." Absolutely."

"What can one's own flesh and blood count against power?"

Rong Zhen lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. The Queen Mother's words were really ironic.

"Forget it," the queen mother raised her hand and put it on the armrest of the chair, "Since you can't avoid it, you can go to the southern border. I will send the imperial guards I trust all the way to protect you secretly, and I will never let you lose your life. From the south."

Rong Zhen showed a deeply moved look, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and thanked him a thousand times.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager felt a little guilty, but she thought about it, she had done him a favor by not killing Rongzhen back then, so she no longer struggled, "Get up."

Rong Zhen responded, stood up, took a few steps back, turned around and stepped out of the threshold.

When he walked further, he saw his own sedan chair, which was still the one specially appointed by the Empress Dowager last time.He sighed, being under the surveillance of the queen mother and the emperor every day in the capital, and having to add another king of Pingnan when he arrived in the south, it was hard for him to find freedom for a day.

"Let's go to Yingxue Building."

The two bearers lifted up the sedan chair, and creaked out of the palace.

Rong Zhen raised a car curtain, looked at the endless red wall of the palace, and suddenly thought,

Why is it that their family is so powerful, but no one has ever thought of rebelling?

……

Yingxuelou's business was not very good in the afternoon, there were only a few dudes listening to the music scattered in the lobby, shaking their heads as if they were very focused.

A young girl was sitting on the stage, plucking a pipa in her hand, and singing a gentle song, the lyrics were very sad, and it told the story of longing for a departed person.

This word was actually written by Yang Jin. He likes this, and he uses a pseudonym. According to him, instead of writing a high-sounding so-called Mingzhi poem, it is better to write some heartfelt boudoir grievance poems, at least from the girl's words. Say it in a whisper, and your heart will melt.

Rong Zhen always laughed at him and forced him to complain, but now when he listened to this song, he was really moved, as if there was a heavy sadness pressing on his heart, which made him feel out of breath.

The reason why he is sitting here listening to the music now is because he heard that Chu Xi hadn't woken up for his afternoon nap, and he didn't want to disturb Chu Xi.

Rong Zhen thought of the first time he met Chuxi, he was also sitting in a brothel, watching the performance on stage.

He had just returned to the capital for more than two years, and in order to establish a good relationship with the ministers in the imperial court, he often accompanied them in various romantic places.

At that time, Chu Xi was just a qin boy, sitting behind Hua Kui, playing his qin honestly.

But the one who came from Tong Rongzhen smiled wretchedly, and Chao Rongzhen said, "Young master, I'm afraid I don't understand, everyone can see the goodness of the oiran, but the goodness of the piano boy is invisible." of."

Rong Zhen blinked, "How do you say that?"

"It is said that the Qin boy came from the country of Yue. There is a kind of love gu planted on his body, which will poison him every time he meets him, bringing him a super feeling."

Rong Zhen looked at Chu Xi with empty eyes on the stage, and asked again, "If he really has such a unique physique, how could he just be a piano boy?"

"Little Grandpa, you don't understand. How could such a top-quality man let him serve ordinary people? Only high-ranking officials who come here often will know about this." Experience."

Rong Zhen smiled, "Then thank you for recommending it to me?"

"No need," the man smiled, and the fat on his face would squeeze together, "I told my father-in-law last time that I have a cousin who wants to join the household department..."

Those high-ranking officials probably didn't care, that Gu not only brought them wonderful feelings, but also brought fatal pain to Chuxi.

What makes Rong Zhen even more sympathetic is that Chu Xi has become numb to this matter. He even wants to accelerate the destruction of his body by this kind of thing. He can't see the end of this kind of life, and death is his best choice.

If it wasn't for Rong Zhen reaching out to wipe away his tears, he probably never knew that he could be regarded as a human being.

Rong Zhen put clothes on Chu Xi, "Since it is so painful, don't do this kind of thing again."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Xi shook his head quickly, although a little hope was ignited in his heart, "Where can I go?"

"Are you willing to help me?" Rong Zhen asked with his head tilted, the light in his eyes was gentler than the moon outside the window.

……

Chu Xi rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, saw the young man standing beside him, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"My lord has been waiting for you downstairs."

"What," Chu Xi was anxious, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Grandpa ordered, it's rare for you to sleep in the afternoon, so I must wait until you wake up."

Chu Xi bit her lower lip, "I see, let the father-in-law come upstairs."

While he was dressing, he was thinking that Rongzhen hadn't established a solid foundation in the capital back then, but he was willing to redeem himself from the brothel and give himself a place to live. It is not too much to say that it is the grace of rebirth .

So he didn't want to ask for anything, as long as he could help Rong Zhen, he was willing to do it.
