"The queen is the prime minister's daughter, who do you think she will help?" Li Ruo looked out the window casually, "If she wants you to expose your identity, she just needs to bribe a few eunuchs to accidentally knock you into the water, and after you change It’s fine if I accidentally broke in while I was wearing clothes.” As she spoke, she turned her head, her eyes were deep and far away, “It’s not the emperor that I want to stop, but the prime minister and the empress.”

Li Su has always respected Prince Zhao, but for his support back then, the young Li Su would not have been able to gain a foothold in the court, so Li Ruo had no choice but to attract Prince Zhao to use his reputation to frighten the prime minister and Yun Ni, but This is not a long-term solution, after all...

Li Ruo looked at Yin Rong, after all, as long as she was alive, this matter might be exposed.

If it was said that it would only implicate the general family at the beginning, then now... Fortunately, she can still pretend to be kept in the dark, but if she really gets married, then--

"Is the eldest princess going to see Mrs. Liu today?"

Yin Rong's words made Li Ruo withdraw from his thoughts, looked at her, Li Ruo nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

"Is Mrs. Liu alright?"

"Fortunately."

For a while, fell into silence again.

Yin Rong looked at the person in front of him, her red dress seemed to have never changed, she was always so eye-catching like the blazing red sun.The plain face is not beautiful, but with such a lazy and unpredictable demeanor, it makes people want to take a second look.

She remembered that she went to the south of the Yangtze River after leaving the cold palace, and she went there for many years, and when she came back, she looked like she is now, with a lazy look when she was silent, dressed in red and... that elusive A good martial arts.

"By the way, in a few days, the Japanese Palace will go with you to meet the envoy of the Wu Kingdom." When getting off the carriage, Li Ruo said with a troubled expression while holding up the curtain.

"Yes." Seeing her troubled look, Yin Rong couldn't help raising the corners of her lips.

Li Ruo didn't sleep well after running around all night, so she took a rest early after returning home, Yin Rong didn't come back all night, now that the emperor announced that the news of the bestowal of marriage must have reached the General's Mansion, it must be a mess, so she left After passing Liruo, he went back alone to settle everything.

Sure enough, as soon as Yin Rong stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, he heard the butler rushing over yelling, saying something was wrong, the second lady heard about the marriage offer, and was looking for death and life to hang herself.

Yin Rong rushed over in a hurry, walked through the long corridor, and walked to a remote place. Before entering, he heard a crowd of bustling people talking in a hurry.

"Mother." After entering the room, Yin Rong sighed and looked at the person who was holding a white silk and was about to commit suicide regardless of other people's obstruction, and then called out with a little helplessness.

But Wang, who was originally determined to die, turned his head and saw Yin Rong, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately threw away the things in his hand, then ran over stumblingly and grabbed Yin Rong's wrist, "Son! , what are you doing and come back!"

"Mom!" Afraid that she might say something that shouldn't be said, Yin Rong hastily sternly stopped her.After scanning the people around, Yin Rong could only pat Wang's shoulder reassuringly, "Mother, you are tired, let's take a break first."

Although Mrs. Wang was reckless, but Yin Rong's signal was so obvious, she naturally understood his intentions, and then walked towards the back room with the support of the maid who accompanied her, leaving a group of people who didn't know what happened The people looked at each other there.In the end, it was Lin who was the mistress coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, since the second lady has nothing to do, let's leave."

After everyone left, Yin Rong stepped forward with a face of helplessness, and bowed to Mrs. Lin, "Mother is a little sick these days, Madam, take care of me, thank you Yin Rong."

Mrs. Lin was not harsh, but after sweeping the inner room, she smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, the master is not in the mansion, so let's just pretend that this has never happened." Shi only felt exhausted, so naturally he went back to his other courtyard without saying anything.

Lin wanted to ask Yin Rong a few words about the marriage grant, but thinking about the royal family involved in this matter, she couldn't help herself at all, thinking about discussing it after the general returned to Beijing, so she didn't ask anything.

After seeing off Mrs. Lin, Yin Rong held his forehead and went back to the house with some headaches.

After entering the room, she saw Mrs. Wang staring at her in surprise. After Yin Rong dismissed the crowd feeling helpless, just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to speak.

"Sister, tell me the truth, are you really going to marry the eldest princess?"

"It is--"

"Sister, are you crazy? You...don't you know that you..."

Mrs. Wang was furious, but in the end she said what she said later, and finally just looked away with regret, "I knew you would cause such troubles, and I shouldn't have let you replace Rong'er in the first place!"

"Mother, it's not as serious as you think." Although Wang's words made Yin Rong's heart feel a little sour, she still comforted her softly, "The eldest princess knows my identity, so what we do is just a helpless act."

"What kind of helpless move?" Wang looked at Yin Rong in disbelief, "The eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is willing to marry you even knowing the truth, isn't that—"

"Mother! The eldest princess is doing this to help me! If it weren't for her, the General's Mansion would be imprisoned for deceiving the emperor today!"

Yin Rong's angry shout made Wang stunned on the spot, and after a long time, she moved her lips and said a little puzzled, "What did you say?"

"Qiao Yunjiu set up a trick to embarrass me, but he never thought that he would find out my identity. Today, the chancellor told me about it. If it wasn't for the eldest princess' help, I'm afraid you and I would be in prison now."

Yin Rong talked about today's events in detail, and Wang Shi was confused and half-understood.

"Then you really want to get married? After you get married, what should you do?"

Wang's worry is also Yin Rong's worry. Now the eldest princess has indeed shocked the prime minister and queen, but what about the future?What should we do in the days to come?

"Mother, don't worry, I will arrange everything properly." Seeing Wang's worried look, Yin Rong could only force a smile, "Everything will be fine, just like 20 years ago , everything will pass.”

Will it really pass?

Even Yin Rong himself had some doubts about this.

Many years ago, the Wang family gave birth to twins of dragon and phoenix, and the general named them Yin Rong and Yin Luo.There is often a folk saying that it is difficult to support the twins of the dragon and the phoenix, the life of the man is poor, and the life of the woman is rough.For this reason, Mrs. Wang heard the old man say that Yin Luo was dressed up as a man since he was a child, in order to deceive the gods, and don't regard them as twins of dragon and phoenix.

But within two years, Wang took the two of them on a boat trip, Yin Rong accidentally fell into the water and drowned, and Wang was worried that without a son, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the general's mansion, so he pretended that Yin Luo fell into the water and died, which made Yin Rong Luo replaced Yin Rong's identity.

Yin Rong still clearly remembers how she was when she forgot to cry and clasped her shoulders. At that time, she was still young and didn't know the intrigue in the general's mansion, and it was the first time she saw her mother like this. helpless.She was shivering in fear, her clothes were soaked from holding her brother's body just now, but she didn't know what to do, she just kept chanting a sentence with distracted eyes, "Remember, you are Yin Rong, Yin Luo Dead, Yin Luo fell into the lake and sank to death!"

Yin Rong and Yin Luo are twins, they look very similar, and they are both dressed as men, so others can't tell them apart, so they can be regarded as being deceived for a while.

It's just that since then, Mrs. Wang can't sleep peacefully every day, fearing that something will happen one day, and her temperament has changed a lot since then, whether it's cloudy or sunny, sometimes crazy words make people in the house really headache.

The general was very dissatisfied with this, but fortunately he was away all the year round, and the affairs of the mansion were all in charge of the eldest wife, Mrs. Lin. Since the previous third wife threw herself into a well, Mrs. Lin had been devoted to Buddha and did not want to argue, so for a long time even though Mrs. Wang There was trouble, but it was safe and sound.

It's just that paper can't hold fire, I don't know in the future...

Yin Rong thought about it all night alone in the room, but to no avail.

Now, we can only take one step at a time.

Li Ruo just woke up and saw Hong Xing when he opened his eyes, so he was a little surprised and said, "Didn't you say there are still two days away?"

"I heard the emperor's will, so I rushed back overnight." Handing over the wet towel in her hand, Hong Xing hesitated, "Is the eldest princess really going to marry Yin Rong?"

"The emperor's decree has come down, is it still fake?" After tidying up his clothes, Li Ruo looked at Hong Xing and asked, "Have you brought the medicine?"

"Yes." As she spoke, Hong Xing took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve, "This medicine is extremely powerful. Master said that we should wait until it is absolutely necessary."

Li Ruo glanced at the medicine bottle, and after a reply, she only asked Hong Xing to put it away.

"If the eldest princess really gets married, if her identity is found out then..." Hong Xing said cautiously following Li Ruo.

"Let's discuss this matter again." Li Ruo sighed, "The prime minister is aggressive. If something happens to the general, then the prime minister will monopolize the court." This is absolutely impossible.

"It's just an expedient measure for the emperor to bestow a marriage." Standing in the yard, Li Ruo twisted a stone with his fingertips and played with it, "I can't let a small Yinrong spoil my important affairs, so... The only way to keep her identity from being known forever is to make her disappear forever."

"The eldest princess means..."

Looking at the stone at his fingertips, Yin Rong's appearance suddenly appeared in Li Ruo's mind, with curled eyelashes, eyes closed and breathing quietly, really...

"Cough." The involuntary smile faded away, Li Ruo's eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "She will do it when she goes to meet the Lord of the Wu Kingdom in a few days!"

The discarded stones spun like a dart and hit the tree trunk three feet away, leaving a thin and deep trace.

"Can……"

"Find a male corpse, and set a fire on it, so that this person will disappear forever with her identity." Turning around, the smile in his eyes was covered by a layer of coldness, and Li Ruo walked out expressionlessly. go.

Yin Rong, don't blame me for being cruel. Although I can't bear to do this, but a little intolerance can lead to chaos. If you mess up the whole chess game by yourself, then all these years of forbearance will be too worthless.

Li Ruo twitched the corners of her lips helplessly, "Do it neatly."

"Yes."

"By the way, did you send someone to watch Cang Liang's whereabouts after returning to Sang Country?"

"Yes, people have already followed."

"how?"

"After he was sent back to the palace, the empress banned him for ten days, and then he went to Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan?" Li Ruo paused, what was he doing there?

"Yes, I went to a remote town called Cambridge Town."

Cambridge Town?Li Ruo frowned, feeling that the name of this town seemed somewhat familiar in a trance.

"Is that where I met you all back then?"

Hong Xing recalled it for a moment, then laughed, "Princess Chang made a mistake, it was in Yongqiao Town, and there are still several miles away from Kangqiao Town."

oh?Yeah?But why did she faintly feel that she had been to that town before?

"Get someone to follow closely and see what he's doing."

The afternoon sun was very good, and after Li Ruo lay down in the garden for a while, he asked Hong Xing to take out his pen and ink.It's just that I didn't want to make two strokes, and Uncle Gong came to pass the news, saying that it was Yin Rong who came.

Li Ruo smiled wryly, and had no choice but to put down her pen, only to see that Yin Rong had changed out of the white clothes, and she looked extraordinarily calm in her strong attire today.

"How did you come?"

"After the emperor announced it to the world, the door of the General's Mansion was about to be broken down. I thought that the eldest princess would be cleaner here, so I came here to avoid it."

For Yin Rong's uninvited visit, Hong Xing seemed slightly displeased, but she just curled her lips, and then at Li Ruo's gesture, she withdrew her pen and ink and put on refreshments.

After a while, the two chattered and sat in a daze for the whole afternoon, and when it got dark, Li Ruo ordered someone to set up a meal, and asked Hong Xing to bring two jugs of good wine along the way.

"Yin Rong has heard about the eldest princess's drinking capacity for a long time."

Li Ruodan smiled and said nothing, just filled the wine glass in front of Yin Rong, then picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it with a smile.

"Heh." Seeing her cheerful appearance, Yin Rong couldn't laugh or cry, so she raised her head and took a drink.

The moonlight is beautiful, the rare clear night sky, the stars are twinkling, it is a beautiful scene.

Li Ruojiu didn't drink for a long time, and after drinking half of the pot, he was a little dizzy, and he only held the wine glass tightly and looked at the person in front of him.

Under today's attire, Yin Rong's face was heroic, and her beautiful face exuded a seductive light under the moonlight. Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to squeeze it.

Oh, soft.

Just looking at it like this, this face is really beautiful.

Yin Rong has been walking in the military camp all year round, so his drinking capacity is no longer a problem, but it is just a little better than ordinary people. Now Li Ruo is a fierce drinker, and he has not drank alcohol for a long time when he is recuperating. Also a little drunk.

She lay on the table and looked at the person across from her, her eyes met, and she pinched herself inexplicably and then stared at her for a long time.

Those bright eyes shone like stars, and——

"Drink!" Li Ruo yelled, and Yin Rong, who was already full of thoughts, shrank his neck and raised his body in fright, but he didn't expect to bump into the red apricot who was serving the hangover soup.For a moment, only the sound of cracking and Yin Rong's wailing resounded throughout the garden, and Li Ruo, who was at the side, looked at Yin Rong who was jumping because of the scalded neck, and laughed so much that he lay down on the table again.

"Master Yin!"

Yin Rong was sober after being scalded by this scorching. She shook her shoulders and endured the pain, but when she looked down, most of the hangover soup just now had been spilled on her body.

"Hong Xing will take the young master to change clothes!"
