little son-in-law

"Is it related to the minister?" Rong Ji asked, the emperor's eyes told him so.

"Impossible." Rong Ji denied it almost immediately.Rong Xi has no father-son affection towards him, and Rong Jin has no brotherhood towards him, what virtue does he have, how can he destroy a majestic Prince Rong's mansion in Daning?

Nangong Jing gave him an indifferent glance, and Nangong Qingyun said softly: "Ah Ji, listen to what the emperor has to say."

Rong Ji took a breath and calmed himself down again.

"Does Ah Ji still remember Bei Yuan's first proton? The fifth prince...Mu Qiao."

Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Rong Ji couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. He vaguely remembered this person.

Mu Qiao, the fifth son of the Beiyuan Emperor, was from a lowly family background. It is rumored that he was born to a folk woman when the Emperor Beiyuan was traveling abroad. He himself is also a lustful, greedy, ignorant person, so Beiyuan wants to choose the proton, and he is the No. 1 choice. After coming to Daning, he made friends with a bunch of ignorant officials and eunuchs, walked the streets all day, and got drunk in brothels. If it was just like this, no one would pay too much attention to such a waste material, but He has a bad habit of talking outrageously after drinking, and more than once in front of everyone, he said that Rong Ji's appearance and figure are the first-class ecstasy, and if he can have a good time with him, death is worth it.

What kind of person is Rong Ji? He resembles his mother, with a handsome appearance and an equally ruthless personality. He hates people talking about his appearance the most in his life. What's more, such foul language is a taboo for him. He found a reason to ask him out, cut off his hands and feet, and pulled out his tongue. In the end, Mu Qiao ended up bleeding to death and leaving his body in the wilderness.

But what he did was extremely secretive, and has never been known to outsiders. How could the emperor know?

Nangong Jing took a deep look at his expression, knew that he had remembered this matter, and didn't want to waste time explaining, and continued: "Later, Beiyuan used this to make trouble." At that time, Beiyuan's monarch was Mu Ya's father Huidi, and Huidi lived a busy life. The only thing he is proud of is that he has many heirs. He has 26 princes and twelve daughters who have lived to adulthood. Mu Qiao is also a chess piece that has been discarded long ago. His status is not the same as that of the later Prince Beiyuan Well, how could Emperor Hui care, but Uncle Huang made good use of this rare opportunity back then.

"You think you have done a perfect job, but you don't know that someone will join you afterwards. The emperor's uncle loves you, but he can't ignore the court and protect you openly. At this time, a courtier comes to speak. At the price of handing over the military power, there is room for discussion on this matter, and only then can we convince the public..."

Nangong Jingshen didn't finish his words, Rong Ji's body trembled violently uncontrollably, although the sudden truth shocked him, but his mind was still clear, it was true that his uncle loved him, but how could he not know how his uncle was, always Strong, with golden mouth and jade teeth, and one word, if you really want to keep someone, there is no room for courtiers to intervene.If Rong Xi ignores this matter, he dare not think about his situation.

Nangong Jing took a deep look at his pale face, and didn't try to persuade him. He lifted the tea bowl and picked up the tea leaves floating on the water. As his brother, he grew up together since he was a child. You should pay the corresponding price.

"You can't believe it, or don't you want to believe it?" Nangong Jing moistened her mouth deeply and put down the tea bowl.

"The emperor wants the minister not to embarrass the Rong family and his son?" Rong Ji tried to find a reason for the emperor to do so.

"Ah Ji, before you say something, think about it in your own stomach first." Rong Wang, cough, old fox, Rong Ji's little tricks will not be taken seriously at all, as for Xiaojin, with his cold temper, Don't pay attention at all, what is Rong Ji's embarrassment.

Rong Ji was puzzled at the beginning, but when he understood, an uncontrollable shame and indignation appeared on his face.

Nangong Qingyun sat there quietly, without saying a word, and lost her shelter. She has grown up a lot in these years, at least she knows that there is no room for her to intervene in this kind of occasion.

In fact, Rong Ji wanted to say that he didn't believe it, but did he really not believe it?He also asked himself in his heart, no matter what the agreement reached in secret, if he really wants to copy a prince's house, the superficial reasons must be sufficient. In the Prince Rong's mansion six years ago, he put the evidence in his study, but the process was not It was unexpectedly smooth. With the guard of the Palace of Rong, it is impossible to relax to such an extent now. Rong... Father seems to have been prepared to send Rong Jin away, and ordered the 60 soldiers in the southern border to stand still and stay in the Palace. , and the cause of all this is because he killed Mu Qiao? "The eldest princess also knows about this." Nangong Jing added slowly.

But Niang never mentioned it, yes, how could Niang say these things, she always talked about how her father owed them, how Yu Xuanxuan and Rong Jin occupied everything that should belong to them.

"Even if it's true, so what? He abandoned his wife and made our mother and son the laughing stock of the world. This is what he should pay back." The grievances are too deep, and how can they be wiped out because of this.

"It's not good." Nangong Jing looked at him deeply, showing a smile that was not warm, "I don't care about how much Rong Xi owes you, and I don't want to care about it, but you owe Rong Jin in this matter. If not Because of you, he doesn't have to go to Beijing as a hostage, and he won't give you the chance to frame him, and he won't be imprisoned later, let alone six years in exile among the people."

Rong Ji opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute, but under Nangong Jingshen's insubstantial smile, he couldn't utter a word.

"So even if everyone in the world wants to die, you don't have the right to blame him, because he paid for your life, otherwise everything after that should have fallen on you, Ah Ji. "

"The muscles and bones are broken, the meridians are cut off, and you, you stood in front of him at that time, watching him being tortured."

Under Nangong Jingshen's almost questioning tone, Rong Ji raised his head stubbornly.

"I'm tired today, you guys go back first." Nangong Jing rubbed the bridge of her nose deeply, with a hint of impatience between her brows, and when it comes to owe Xiaojin, who owes more than him.

Rong Ji's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't react for a while.

Fushun came down, bowed slightly and signaled: "Eldest Princess, Prince Rong, please."

Nangong Qingyun got up first, secretly pulled Rong Ji lightly, and gave Nangong Jing a deep blessing.

"Ah Ji." Nangong Qingyun and Rong Ji were about to go out, Nangong Jingshen called him to stop.

Rong Ji turned around, "Does the emperor have anything to say?"

"I heard that the Eldest Princess is not in good health recently, so please spend more time with her if you have nothing to do." Nangong paused for a moment, then said slowly.

Rong Ji felt strange, the relationship between the emperor and his mother was unknown to outsiders, but he knew it very well. Since he became the throne, the emperor has always called her the eldest princess, and he has never called her aunt intimately. I also understand that my mother supported Nangong Jingnian, who was born by the empress, and thus made the emperor unhappy. You must know that although the emperor and mother were not close when they were young, they were never estranged.

This time, he suddenly started to care, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Rong Ji could only reply like this.

"Go."

Rong Ji raised his head, Nangong leaned quietly in the large dragon chair, his eyes were dark, without any emotion.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, where do you plan to spend this year?" Su Weiyang asked.

"I promised Yuyang to go back to Nanshan Town, maybe I will leave in a few days, how about you, in the capital or go back to Jingzhou?" Mo Nanjin put on his cloak, and it was indeed a bit cold after walking outside for so long.

"Father wrote to say that he has arranged a marriage for Yan Ruo, and I want to go back. Let's go back to the house, and I've seen this Lv'emei."

"Okay, let's talk as we walk, Yan Ruo is also engaged? It seems that the little boy was following us yesterday. The last time we met in Nanyang, he probably doesn't remember me anymore." Su Wunian is Weiyang's cousin, Rong Jin hadn't seen her many times, but Yan Ruo was clever and cute when he was a child, and he knew everyone well.

"When your accident happened, he was already nine years old. How could he not remember that he even came to the mansion to cry and quarrel with his father once, annoyed that his father escorted you to Beijing." He wasn't Yan Ruo. Followed, but there was always a fluke in my heart, A Jin would not leave like this.

"Don't bring up the past, Su Hou, Uncle Su is also the emperor's fate." It's just that this relationship was hurt after all. After meeting, the father never mentioned this person again. .

In this matter, Su Weiyang didn't want to defend her father.

"After the Chinese New Year, come back from Jingzhou and stop by my place to stay for two days. You haven't been to my house yet. Although it's a small place, it's very clean. Then I'll cook two dishes myself. Let's have a good drink. Don, just the two of us."

"Okay." Su Weiyang replied with a smile, in fact, he had been there before, but only watched from a distance, but did not approach.

"Su Xiang?" When they left the garden, an old man with white beard and hair came to meet him.

"Old Liuge, what a coincidence." Su Weiyang cupped his hands and saluted, although he was at the top of the court at the same time, but at this age, he had to show some respect.

The voice is still gentle, but in the ears of Rong Jin, who is familiar with him, Wei Young knows that he doesn't want to see this person, "I passed by here, and I saw you two coming out of Mei Lin, red clothes and green shirts, young and romantic, really picturesque character."

"Ge Lao is ridiculous." Su Weiyang replied lightly, frowning secretly, what's the matter with this person, knowing A Jin's identity, but openly saying such words, what is his intention?

Rong Jing didn't speak, since Wei Young opened his mouth, he already knew the identity of the person in front of him. There were more than one elders of the first rank, but there was only one surnamed Liu, and that was Empress Dowager Liu's father——Liu Yuanmin. The mastermind behind everything.

He is over seventy years old, but he is well-maintained, ignoring the white hair, and looks only in his fifties. He must have been very good-looking when he was young, but now that he is older, he still has three points. benign countenance.
