little son-in-law

The mansion of Princess Dachang is located in Zizhuyuan, three miles out of the city. It was originally a garden of the royal family. In the garden, there are four seasons of flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, nine winding corridors, and a scene of Jiangnan scenery. His mother and concubine, the deceased Concubine Ying, came from the south of the Yangtze River. The first emperor specially ordered people to build two gardens, one Zizhu Garden and one Muhanju. The two gardens are far away from each other.More than ten years ago, after returning to the capital from Linyang, the Eldest Princess refused to live in the prepared princess mansion in the inner city, but chose Zizhuyuan. Before his death, the first emperor decreed that it should be permanently sealed up and listed as a royal forbidden area.

On this day, the back door of the eldest princess's mansion was quietly opened at Weishi, and a small green cloth sedan chair was carried in. Without stopping, she went directly into the Yingchen residence where the eldest princess Nangong Xilan lived. Occasionally, there were curious servants on the road. Stretching out his head to look around, Dong Niang, the servant next to the master, glanced back sharply.

"The princess is waiting for you inside, please go ahead." Dong Niang asked the bearers to stop in front of the courtyard gate, and signaled them to step back, facing the young man who came out of the sedan chair, she bowed slightly and stood aside, expressionless and indifferent. Cold Road.

The boy didn't look at her, and came to the door.

"Rong Jin? Come in."

"Rong Jin has met the Eldest Princess."

Sitting on the upper seat inside the door is a beautiful woman with willow eyebrows and almond cheeks. Although she is middle-aged, she is still glamorous, and she can vaguely see the demeanor of the most beautiful woman in the capital. Although the current emperor is born of the same mother, his appearance is not half alike. The eldest princess has a bright and beautiful appearance, but the current emperor is elegant and elegant. I heard that the eldest princess looks exactly like his mother. There is a portrait of the former emperor enshrined in Prince Yu's mansion. The former emperor had a majestic appearance, but I don't know who the current emperor looks like.

"Rong Jin?" Nangong Xilan raised her head to see the face of the visitor, and shook the teacup in her hand, feeling shocked. This child's appearance... If you don't know the origin of this child, just look at this child's appearance , she would think that this child was born to Rongxi and her imperial brother, but how is it possible, regardless of whether the two men can have a child, if there is such a child between the two of them, the two should also It must be because I was thinking too much if I didn't make such a fuss to the point of endless death today.I just don't know how Brother Huang would feel when he saw this child for the first time, no matter what, this child cannot be kept.Nangong Xilan secretly made up her mind, put down the teacup in her hand, and slowly took two breaths to calm down her chaotic mood.

"You have been in the capital for more than two months, why don't you come to my house?" Nangong Xilan sat down again, her slender fingers brushed the corners of her clothes that were already straight, and the corners of her dark red lips curled up with a hint of contempt , Fu said again: "What did Yu Xuanxuan tell you? Did she say that I would harm you?"

"The eldest princess is worrying too much. My mother didn't say anything to me. It's just that Rong Jin's current status is inconvenient to go out, so I couldn't come to visit you." Rong Jin saw that the eldest princess seemed to have forgotten that he was standing, so she had to He pulled up a chair and sat down.

Seeing this, Nangong Xilan frowned obviously.He snorted softly; "That's good, I can come and walk around when I have nothing to do in the future."

Rong Jin felt like laughing, what he said was too insincere, the Eldest Princess didn't even bother to cover up her contemptuous expression, he couldn't even pretend not to see it.

"What the eldest princess said is true, Rong Jin understands."

This eldest princess is obviously the same as Rong Ji, she doesn't like to see him very much, so she picked him up today, but did nothing, could she just sit here and drink tea, but this cold and piercing gaze, summer It may have the miraculous effect of relieving the heat, but it is really uncomfortable in this cold winter.

The snow outside has just melted, and the north-facing window of this room is wide open, and the biting cold air is pouring in one after another, carrying an inexplicable fragrance faintly. A tree that has fallen with snowflakes, if you look carefully now, it is actually densely covered with small white flowers, the branches are straight, as black as ink, the color of the flowers is pure white as snow, and the fragrance, it is...

"It seems that you have also seen it. This is indeed a rare snowy tree. It has been snowing for the past few days and it just bloomed. You just happened to see it." Nangong Xilan obviously saw it too, got up and went to the window Ruouowu blocked his line of sight.

Xuechenmu, he had seen it in the "Precious Wood Atlas" written by his predecessors. This tree grows in extremely cold places, and flowers begin to form when snow falls. The fragrance does not come from the flowers, but from the branches of Xuechenmu. , so it is also a superb spice.However, the surviving snowwood does have other miraculous effects. The aroma has the effect of nourishing energy and calming the mind, keeping the face for a long time, and prolonging life. It is a rare health-preserving product.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again." Nangong Jingshen's hand holding the pen was shaking all the time, and the annotations on the memorial were slightly tilted.How can this be?

Gu Shisan worriedly glanced at the master behind the desk. The moment he received the news, he also thought that if Rong Shizi knew about this matter, then there would be no possibility of turning things around between the two of them. He has always said that his master is cold and ruthless in nature, but he knows that he has dug away the solid ice on the surface of his master, and there is a piece of blazing heat underneath that is reserved for Rong Shizi. Can't afford to make waves.

Secretly clenching his fists, Gu Shisan bent down again and reported word by word.

"The news from Xuanbu Linyang said that Princess Rong Yu Xuanxuan passed away from a serious illness yesterday. During the night, the Prince Rong's mansion was flooded, and the fire was very intense. The entire Prince Rong's mansion was reduced to rubble overnight. In the morning of the next day, he was found in the sea of ​​flames." I haven’t come out yet, I’ve already gone with the princess..."

"Enough, Thirteen, don't talk about it." Zhu Bi drew a long bright red line on the memorial.My left hand clasped my right wrist, why is my hand shaking all the time?

why?He knew from the beginning that the Prince Rong's Mansion had iron coupons written by the Emperor Taizu himself. If they did so, they might ruin the reputation of the Prince Rong's Mansion, but none of them would be in danger of their lives, and even their titles could be retained.

Why did Prince Rong choose to leave in this way?Isn't Rong Jin his most cherished child?Why was Rong Jin still in the capital as a hostage, and why did he let go like this?

"Where is Rong Jin? Where is Rong Jin now?" Nangong Jingshen got up suddenly, and the memorial on the desk, pen, ink, paper and inkstone fell to the ground with a crash...

"The people in the mansion went to the palace earlier to report that Rong Shizi was taken over by the Eldest Princess, saying it was to reminisce about the old days."

"Reminiscing about the old days?" Nangong Jingshen paused for a moment, and then strode out.

"Someone has already followed in secret." Gu Shisan also got up from the ground, took a few steps, and followed behind.

"The emperor should also know the news, right?" The carriage quickly drove out of the palace gate, above the towering and majestic palace, the dark clouds began to gather again, and there were many shadows.

"What did he say in the end?" Nangong Qiuhu looked calm as usual, and even took a sip of the tea in hand.

"Your Majesty, that tea..." Wu Guo stopped under the cruel eyes of the Emperor, the tea was just brewed and it was still hot.In winter, the emperor likes to keep a cup of hot tea at hand. Back then when Prince Rong was still there, the two of them always liked to get together and drink the same cup of tea while blowing. That was a rare moment for the emperor to relax. To this day...

"Old Wu, step back."

After Wu Guo left, there were only two people left in the huge South Study Room, and Xuan Qi, the secret guard of the Xuan Department, knelt on the ground.

"We tried to rush into that room, but we were counterattacked by the hidden guards of Prince Rong's mansion at the door. Later, Prince Rong came out. He seemed to know that we were the master's secret guards. He asked us to tell the emperor a word: I wish you all , the white head will not be separated. I hope that all the grievances and grievances between me and the emperor will come to an end."

"I wish to have the one-hearted person, never leave the white head..." It's really good to say, it turns out that only Yu Xuanxuan is your sweetheart.

"Qiuhu, Rongxi is enough to have you in this life."

"Oh, what if I die first?"

"If you go first, wait for me on the Naihe Bridge, and I will follow you right away."

Words are still in my ears, words are still in my ears...

"Prince Rong also said, please don't do anything that you regret, Your Majesty, he left Rong Jin to you..."

"You tell the emperor, please treat yourself and Rong Jin well. I left Xiao Jin to him, let him see the inside of Xiao Jin's right arm, and he will understand everything. And tell the emperor Xiao Jin's birthday is... ...the eighth day of September in the third year of Tongxi."

"Goodbye, Qiuhu, no, we will never meet again, Qiuhu." Rong Xi took one last look at the burning sky in the north, turned around and walked into the sea of ​​flames, and the hidden guard of Rong Mansion outside the room knelt quietly all over the place.

"That's all, Your Majesty." Although Xuan Qi didn't know what Prince Rong meant by these last words, he still reported the truth.

"May I have one heart and one mind, never leave each other..." Nangong Qiuhu repeated these few words back and forth in his mouth.He couldn't hear anything after this sentence.

"Go down!"

"But your majesty..." Xuan Qi wanted to remind the emperor a few words, because he felt that when Prince Rong said the last two sentences, his expression seemed to have a deep meaning in it, and he had an intuition that the words should be very important, Xuan Qi Zhang Opened his mouth, looked at the emperor, hesitated again.

Xuan Qi didn't know that because of his hesitation, a tragedy was about to begin.

"Rongxi, Rongxi...cough cough cough..." The blood in his mouth dripped down his fingers...

The snow that had stopped for two days in Shengjing began to fall again...
