little son-in-law

"Rong Ji." Rong Jin yelled at him, the ground was slippery, his body was already unstable, he clutched his stomach tightly, and staggered back a few steps.

"You..." Rong Ji woke up startled, his eyes touched Rong Jin's bulging belly under the cloak, before he had time to think, he turned over and got out of bed, hugged him, and pulled him into his arms.Then they both fell down, Rong Ji let out a muffled snort, and was crushed underneath, Rong Jin's elbows and knees grazed the ground, causing burning pain.

The back of his head hit the stone slab, and there was a dark dizziness in front of his eyes. Rong Ji shook his head and asked Rong Jin: "Are... are you okay?" The tone is not good, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a little concern.

First of all, the good intentions released did not get a response, and Rong Ji felt awkward, "It's okay, get up, I'm crushed to death, how long has it been since I saw you, why are you so fat? Didn't you eat in the country? Really not promising."

Rong Jin leaned on his chest and said something in a low voice, but he couldn't hear clearly, so he asked again: "What did you say?"

"I said it's rare...to hear you talk so much." Ever since he was a child, Rong Ji had never given him any good looks, let alone had a heart-to-heart talk. Of course, his elder brother didn't do much better.

Rong Ji was silent. He and Rong Jin had been brothers for more than 20 years, but in real terms, the relationship was worse than that of strangers. When he was very young, he didn't know that he had such a brother. When he got a little older, he found that he was different from other children. He had no father, and his mother often wept secretly, and sometimes smashed things like crazy. She was like a child who couldn't grow up. Arrogant and beautiful, she always said that he had the best father, who was wise, brave, and noble, far away in Linyang, with power in Daning, but such a nearly perfect father was born to a pariah and a pariah in Nanshao His son abandoned their mother and son.

When he was six years old, he went back to Linyang Rong Palace for the first time and met his father. That day his father stood on the commanding platform, facing tens of thousands of soldiers, dressed in military uniform, invincible. He admired such a father, he saw Yu Xuanxuan, who came from a humble background, was not as good as her mother in appearance. Rong Jin was one year older than him. She was seven years old at that time. She was raised by her father since she was a child. She slept and ate at the same table. He practices calligraphy, horseback riding, and martial arts. He has seen his father kiss Rong Jin on the forehead when he is asleep, and he has seen his father hold Rong Jin in his arms when it rains, just to keep his trousers from getting wet. Pampering pets, wishing to send all the good things in the world to him.

But for him, he has never enjoyed such a father-son relationship for a moment. How much he admires his father and loves his mother, he hates Yu Xuanxuan and Rong Jin who took everything away.He refused Rong Jin's frequent hypocritical overtures. When he was 14 years old, he burned all the manuscripts in Rong Jin's study, herbal prescriptions and all letters from Su Weiyang. Since then, Rong Jin has been completely strangers to him.

He has always disliked Rong Jin's humble background, not worthy of being the prince's son, everything should be his own, he tried every means to get it back, but in the end, he is not his father's son at all, he has no right to compete with Rong Jin, he These 20 years of life are really like a joke.

Rong Ji wiped his face, hiding all his thoughts, "You and I are two people from the beginning to the end, what can we talk about."

"That's right." It's meaningless to talk about right and wrong in the past now, and he didn't talk about those.

Rong Jin's voice has been very low since just now, Rong Ji didn't pay attention at first, but at this moment he also sensed something was wrong, looked down at the person pressing on his chest, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling, "Hey, what's wrong with you Why did you fall like this, are you sick? There is an imperial physician in my mansion, I will help you up and let the imperial physician show you."

"Don't move yet." The cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, Rong Jin bit his lower lip, and forced his mouth to speak. The child might have been frightened and moved violently in his stomach, so he reached down and gently comforted his stomach.

The two were so close to the ground, Rong Ji could see each other's movements clearly, but it was because he was so clear, his eyes showed a frightened look, he remembered the quick glance when he just woke up, Rong Jin's belly was surprisingly big It's like, like a pregnant woman, when the two of them touch each other, there is a vibration, "What is in your stomach, how can it move..."

Rong Jin was powerless to make a sound, he tightened his coat on his stomach, endured waves of severe pain in his body, and said to himself: "Be good, baby, be good, don't make trouble with Daddy, Daddy hurts very much."

The summer shirt is thin, and the muddy water on the ground is dirty and cold. After a long time, the person above is uncomfortable in this posture, and the person below is even more uncomfortable. "Hey, are you feeling better? Where does it hurt?" Rong Ji trembled uncomfortably. When he moved his body, his fingertips accidentally touched Rong Jin's shoulder, the man frowned immediately, Rong Ji sighed helplessly, he didn't think Rong Jin still had the intention to dislike him at this moment, he must be feeling very uncomfortable.

The wet clothes on the back stuck to his body, it was sticky and cold, and there was an earthy smell, which was an unbearable torture for himself who always liked cleanliness, Rong Ji rolled his eyes at the gloomy sky, he He really didn't expect that one day he would be so accommodating to a person, and this person turned out to be the one he hated the most, Rong Jin.

The child was comforted and temporarily quieted down. Rong Jin supported his arms and moved away from Rong Ji's body.

Rong Ji turned over and gave Rong Jin a hand by the way. Looking at it from a close distance, Rong Jin's protruding belly became more obvious.

There were footsteps in the forest, Rong Ji swallowed what he wanted to ask, and gestured to Rong Jin to follow him.

The sweet-scented osmanthus trees here seem to be planted randomly, but they imply a formation. Rong Jin's index finger tapped twice on his forehead, and the aura following him disappeared immediately.The two stopped in front of a rockery, Rong Ji stepped forward and groped on the rockery, the rockery parted in the middle, revealing a secret path going down, Rong Ji went down first, lit the torch, and turned to face each other Jin provocatively said, "If you dare to come in, it's fine."

Rong Jin smiled, and gathered her cloak and came over.

Rong Ji snorted softly, "Don't trust me too much." He took down the torch on the wall and led the way ahead.

There is wind in the secret passage, so it is not very stuffy, but except for a little place where the torch in Rong Ji's hand can shine, the surrounding area is pitch black, and it is not clear what it looks like inside. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, The steps extend upwards, push away the stone slab on the top, and come out to a smaller courtyard, which only has a small three-story building.

Rong Ji led Rong Jin in, and went straight to the second floor. There were several rooms on the second floor. Rong Ji opened the first room. The room was fully equipped with a bed, which looked like a bedroom. Rong Ji found two clothes in the closet. Throw one of them to Rong Jin.

"No need, it's okay to get a little muddy." The key point is that Rong Ji's robes are simply not wearable with his current figure, so there is no need to waste this effort.

"It's up to you." Rong Ji looked at his stomach, and didn't force it, and changed into a clean one, which was the same style and color as the original one.

Rong Jin's legs were sore, she took off her cloak, and found a chair to sit down by herself.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here today?" After changing his clothes, Rong Ji sat down opposite Rong Jin. He was not so narcissistic that he thought that Rong Jin came to visit him for no reason, and talked about the deep brotherhood.

Rong Jin also didn't tell him that he was too close: "The eldest princess went to look for me."

"Qing Yun?" Rong Ji raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "What is she looking for you for?" Suddenly thought of something, that night Qing Yun whispered in his ear that she was going to leave the capital, could it be that she begged Rong Jin for this matter? On the door?

"I was not at home at the time and I didn't see anyone, so I came here today to ask. But I came to you for another matter."

"Come here on purpose? Didn't you hear that I was crazy? What else can I do now, it's nothing more than taking a breather than the dead." The smile on Rong Ji's face was cold, and now everyone is waiting to see What happened to him, this person probably did too.

"I'll help you leave the capital."

"What did you say?" The coldness between Rong Ji's brows soared, did Rong Jin come to make fun of him?After his mother's death, although his title is still there, the imperial court treats him like a useless person. He is no different from a semi-imprisoned state. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he has lost power. In his position, he wants to leave safely. It's impossible in the capital, even if Rong Jin regained his identity now and has the power in his hands, he can be sent out secretly, but in the days to come, he would hide and worry all his life, like a rat crossing the street, he would rather die here, at least Come clean.

Rong Jin's expression was calm, not affected by him, "I'll send someone to escort you and the eldest princess to the Zatu tribe."

This coincided with Qing Yun's, "The reason, because I am your younger brother?"

Rong Jin didn't deny or admit it, and raised her eyebrows, "War is starting in the northwest. When you get there, find a way to get the Zatu tribe to send troops to help Daning. Even if you can't send troops, you must hold them back from acting rashly." The Zatu tribe is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms The people here are tough, and the strategic position is also very important. However, the patriarchs of the Zhatu tribe in the past dynasties were all fools, and the three parties took advantage of it. It was not until Nangong Qingyun's father's generation that the family voted for Daning and accepted the canonization of the imperial court. He has always been a caregiver, but it is a pity that Nangong Qingyun's biological father died young. The current patriarch is Nangong Qingyun's second uncle. He has been in power for more than ten years. Wanting to get rid of this serious worry, Nangong Qingyun was taken to the capital to be raised by a teacher who came from an unknown teacher. Now Xiling is on hold, and the water here is very deep, but the Zhatu tribe definitely plays a big role in it.

"Where's Cousin Jing?" Rong Ji blurted out, "I mean the emperor, shouldn't he talk about this kind of thing?"

"He is currently sitting in Jiachen Pass."

"What happened to Zhiyuan?"

Rong Jin's eyes darkened, and he nodded: "He was trapped in the Hulan Grassland by Beiyuan and Xiling, and lost contact."

No matter how ruthless Rong Ji was, he had a good relationship with these people, and there was some friendship, and now that he knew that those two were his brothers, he was secretly anxious, and no longer hesitated, "I promise you. "He can't blame whose fault it is for his mother's death now, but these people are still alive. It may not be easy to leave the capital and start again in the Zatu tribe, but for him, it is the best choice.

"I have prepared some things for you, and I will send them here later. Discuss with the eldest princess and leave as soon as possible. After a few days, I will be inconvenient, and things will change later." After the child is born, he may not be able to take care of Rong Ji's place. .

Rong Ji looked serious, "I understand this."

The time is about the same, to avoid other people's suspicion, Rong Jin is about to get up and leave. He and Rong Ji can't talk for too long, this purple bamboo garden is not safe, otherwise Rong Ji won't keep pretending to be crazy, "The future is up to you why did you leave."

Seeing him clumsily bending down to get the cloak, Rong Ji looked complicated, reached out and handed it to him, hesitantly asked: "How are you and Cousin Jing doing now? He's married and has a queen, what do you want?" Have you spent your whole life with him so ignorantly?"

Rong Jin caressed her belly, her eyes were soft and gentle, "Our baby will be born soon."

Like seeing a ghost, Rong Ji blurted out and asked, "How can you get pregnant? You are a man." He thought of the Liu family, "Are you from the Yueyi clan?" Rong Ji was very smart, seeing Rong Jin's posture at this time, he Soon he thought of another point: "You are also Cousin Jing's queen?" He should have thought of it a long time ago, Cousin Jing has been thinking about it for so many years, how could he give up easily, he thought it was a problem of heirs, and was forced to compromise with the clan , but since Rong Jin can conceive an heir, how could Cousin Jing marry someone else.On the night of Cousin Jing's big wedding, he thought a lot about it. He let go of some things, even if he knew the truth now, he didn't plan to pick it up again.

"Father is willing to marry you off. Is it because of uncle?" It is well known that the queen is the adopted daughter of the emperor.

"My father is now with my father by my side."

"Your father?" The traits of the Yueyi clan are mostly inherited by men, and a thunderbolt strikes Rong Ji's mind, and many things that he couldn't figure out before suddenly become clear. His resentment and contempt for Rong Jin really has nothing to say now .

Rong Jin knew that he understood, and he came here today to make Rong Ji understand that they were all hurt by the grievances of the previous generation, and they have the right to know the truth.

"Rong Jin." When he was about to go out, Rong Ji called him, "I have something to ask you, but don't turn around."

"Tell me." After today, the chance of meeting them again in the future is slim.

"Brother." Rong Ji changed his voice very softly.

Rong Jin turned his back to Rong Ji and closed his eyes.

"Brother, have you ever hated me?" Hate him for framing Prince Rong's mansion, and hate him for not lending a helping hand in prison.

"You want to hear the truth?" Rong Jin's voice was not heavy.

Rong Ji nodded, thinking that he couldn't see it, so he responded again.

"Yes, I have hated it." But he also remembered that a year ago in Zhaoyang, Rong Ji was aggressive, but finally stopped Wei Young, who was out of control, and said what the empress dowager would come to Zhaoyang, it was for him Listen, the empress dowager was the biggest help in pushing Nangong Jingshen to the top position. The empress dowager Mei was just a princess at the time, so how could she have such great skills? It's okay to deliver a message.

The corners of Rong Ji's lips curled up. It's good to have hatred. You can only have hatred if you wait for it, right? He said in a relaxed tone, "It's just that, I have always hated you too. It will be a relief for both of us if we don't see each other in the future." At the end, He said the last sentence: "Take good care of your father and uncle."

"When you leave, I probably won't be able to see you off, so cherish the journey."

Afterwards, the two returned to the sweet-scented osmanthus forest along the secret path, Rong Ji regained his sleepy appearance, Nangong Qingyun came back, and begged Rong Jin to help them go to the Zhatu tribe for the sake of brotherhood. , Rong Jin agreed to go back and think about it. He could see that Nangong Qingyun didn't really believe him, but he was desperate.

On the way back, Rong Jin's stomach began to ache, and when she reached the gate of the palace, her stomach was so painful that she couldn't straighten up.
