Chapter 172

After saying that, he raised his hand and touched the corner of Rong Xiangmian’s eyes.

“Did you not fall asleep just now? Your eyes are all red.”

Rong Xiangmian held his hand, “How can you sleep at a time like this?”

“Tomorrow morning, go and tell the Emperor that I’ve woken up. Then, let’s go home.”

“How can you go home when you are injured like this? What if you pull your wound?”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s not like I’ve broken my skin or bones, wherever I get my hard-earned skin, it’s the same. Back home, there are so many people to take care of me, there are also Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, you don’t have to keep an eye on me from the moment you open your eyes, so you can feel more relaxed. I’ve gotten enough sleep these past few days, but looking at you like this, how can I possibly lie here and recuperate without worrying.”

Seeing that he insisted, Rong Xiang saw that he could only follow him and asked, “What exactly happened in Chong Hua Hall just now? How come King Kai and his wife were both imprisoned?”

Zhou Xian Yang felt shocked when he thought about the scene just now, and hesitated to tell Rong Xiang Mi what had just happened.

This made her unhappy: “What, you can’t tell me?”

Zhou Xian Yang smiled, “There are some things that I’m afraid you’ll know, and it won’t be good for you.”

“What’s the difference between you knowing and me knowing?”

Zhou Xianyang pulled her down on the bed and softly told her what had just happened.

As she listened, Rong Xiangmian felt a chill in her teeth.

“For the sake of the empire, killing a wife who is so sincere to his own ……,” Rong Xiangmian put herself in her shoes and thought, “Ming | Hui Huang Guifei has given birth to a good son.”

Zhou Xian Yang is quite dissatisfied: “You say this …… this good son caused your husband almost died.”

Rong Xiang Xiang saw that he was busy wrapping his arms around his waist, “He is not your good elder brother, but he is a good son, this is not a contradiction! If possible, I also want my child ……”

Rong Xiangmian stopped abruptly.

Zhou Xian Yang asked strangely, “Your child?”

And then instantly realized, “Do you want your children …… to kill their father in their last life, to avenge their father’s death?”

“No …… I just want him to grow up safe and healthy.”

The meeting of the heart to know the change of life, this life is destined not to have a mother and child with Yun child bond. But learning that there is a woman in this world with a similar experience to her evokes her empathy. If Ming|Hui Huang Guifei were alive, would she be relieved or saddened at this moment?

No one knows.

Rong Xiangshi shook his head, “I hope that our child, will not have to go through this.”

Zhou Xian Yang first laughed out loud, then involved the wound pain, and finally reacted, upset: “What’s the point of pulling me in for a good reason? Do you want your child to kill me?”

“Let’s say for example, if you are good to me, I naturally let my child filial piety to you.” Rong Xiang Xiang laughed.

Zhou Xian Yang was speechless, speaking as if her child was not his child.

He pulled the topic back, “I don’t think King Qi may just be avenging his mother’s death. After so many years, there’s always a chance for revenge, so why wait until this time? It’s not because the time is ripe to seek the throne.”

Rong Xiangxian nodded, “To commit treason, there has to be an honorable reason, then again, if King Kai wants to hate, he should also hate His Majesty, why does he go against you in every way, and hurt Shi Feng so badly, and even planted eyes in our residence.”

“Because he feels that the Yu family had a hand in his mother’s death, and my mother had a hand in it as well. Without my mother, he would have been the Emperor’s firstborn son, the unquestionable choice for the Eastern Palace, the happiest child in the whole world.

In fact, when I was a child, my mother always said that what I have, Kai Wang must have, she wants to level the playing field. But after all, it is not a mother and son, Kai Wang brother age and older, the palace to and fro can not be too close. I didn’t expect him to actually keep feeling harshly treated by his mother, everyone’s perspective on things is just too different.”

“It’s hard to be a stepmother,” Rong Xiangmei sighed, “In the end, it’s all because His Majesty is thin-skinned and ruthless, do you think that the matter of Empress Yu plotting to kill the heir in the first place would be …… His Majesty… …”

Rong Xiangmian startled herself as she spoke.

She had originally always guessed that Empress Yu had fallen prey to the schemes of the people in the harem, and that the ages were too long to pursue the matter. But now think carefully, the palace has the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the emperor’s son’s birth mother, are not like the heart so vicious people ……

On the contrary, the emperor …… he met with the Yu family for the sake of profit, and even killed his hair wife for this reason. After Yu Taishi died, something happened to Empress Yu. It was hard not to suspect that this was the Emperor venting his anger.

What’s more, at the time when the Marquis of Yongan was reappointed, on the one hand, it was the pacification of the East China Sea, and on the other hand, it was the great opening of the sea market, which was a critical moment for both the defense of the country and the prosperity of the economy. A bowl of medicine down, Li Guifei ascended to the throne, the Zhang family for the country dynasty dedicated, and no heir and relatives to control the worries of the dynasty, really three birds with one stone.

Zhou Xian Yang was silent for a moment, his eyes unusually pale. This was a possibility that he had long thought about and was most unwilling to believe.

“Actually, all these years, I have always suspected this. With my mother’s heart, if someone framed her, she would rather die than seek innocence. Before she left the palace, but not the slightest defense for her own grievances, told me not to obsess about this matter, think the biggest possibility is that she figured out that there is simply no room for reversal in this matter, because the person who framed her is the one who is high up, ruling the world …… Pursuing the truth will only be detrimental to me, and that is why she has repeatedly prevented it, and is willing to be secluded in the imperial tomb , in exchange for my peace.”

“Then what to do?” Rong Xiangmian listened, only feeling that her heart was blocked. Originally, what she thought was that it would be good to find evidence and return Empress Yu’s innocence. But now that the one person who could clear her name was the murderer, how could it be done?

Zhou Xian Yang sighed lightly, “No matter what, we need to find the key players in that year’s incident, whether it’s the doctor or the palace staff. Things are long gone, Chen Rixin secretly visited for a long time, but there is no definite evidence.”

“You are still in the midst of serious injuries, don’t overthink, the Imperial Doctor said you need to recuperate.”

Zhou Xian Yang glanced at her and spoke apologetically, “These past few days, they have all revolved around me, and your mother’s matter has been delayed for a long time.”

Rong Xiangyan instead relieved him, “We must take care of the living first, she will understand me. I see that you still don’t have any energy, so sleep some more.”

After saying that, she sat up, Zhou Xian Yang pulled her back, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t dare to fall asleep next to you, what if I accidentally press on your wound?”

She pushed away Zhou Xian Yang’s hand and jumped off the bed, nimbly moving the rocking chair she had slept on for several nights over to the side of the bed and laying down.

“Sleeping on that, don’t you feel hard?”

“What does it matter, I’m not that golden.” Rong Xiangshi saw as the rocking chair swayed, suddenly thought of something, “Since your highness suspected what happened back then, why would you still do such a stupid thing in a critical situation? Is His Majesty worth putting your life on the line to save?”

Zhou Xian Yang turned his head sideways and stared at Xiang Xiang, “I am not saving him.”

“Huh?” Rong Xiangmian was puzzled, and only then did Zhou Xianyang tell her about that day, “At that time, Elder General Qi and your father stood beside him, and in the end, they were both loyal to the king and stood in front of the Emperor ……”

Rong Xiangmian’s eyes warmed up.

“Qi old general is like my grandfather, I have followed him since I left the palace to learn the art of war and military affairs, and I was rather more pro to him than the emperor. Your father, is your closest person in the world, you have already lost your mother, can’t let you even lose your father.”

Tears silently slipped through the corners of Rong Xiangmian’s eyes, she hurriedly wiped: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you wear what gold silk soft armor, called this name for nothing, even the crossbow | arrows can’t be blocked. It caused you to be injured like this.”

Zhou Xian Yang reached out towards her, wanting to wipe her tears, but he couldn’t reach them, so he had to put his hand on the edge of the bed.

“Thanks to you having that dream and letting me wear this, or else under the power of this newly made crossbow and arrows, I might really be dead now.”

Rong Xiangxian held his hand, her heart was filled with an indescribable flavor. She didn’t want him to take the risk, but she was grateful to him for taking the risk.

“His Majesty said that you were meritorious in saving the emperor and promoted you to Prince.”

“Oh.” Zhou Xian Yang didn’t care and shook Rong Xiangmian’s hand.

Two people lying quietly, did not speak again, only feel that what can be a prince is not as good as this moment, can hold each other’s hands, to meet the peace of mind.

In this way, without realizing it, fell asleep together.

The emperor in Fu Ning Palace, furious.

“These several sinful sons, I owe them something in my past life, one more than one not save! What’s the use of having so many sons? Had I known this, I might as well have been blessed with a few more daughters like Xian Yao!”

Hearing this, Noble Consort Hui was happy in her heart, but on her face, she didn’t show any emotion and said, “Your Majesty, be more relaxed, aren’t your several imperial sons all good children?”

Hearing her say this, the emperor let out a cold laugh, “What filial piety did Kai Wang usually have, but now he has also become a wolf-hearted person. The remaining ones, who can guarantee that they are not harboring evil intentions like King Kai?”

Noble Consort Hui busily said, “Yul Wang, he almost gave up his life in order to save His Majesty. Your Majesty, where else can you find such a filial and good boy in Jinling City?”

When the emperor thought of Xian Yang, his heart was filled with mixed feelings. In the end, he was the cause of Xian Yang’s disaster. He used his hand to support his chin, enjoying Hui Guifei’s skillful massage, “That child, has always been very different from me, but I don’t want to have this heart.”

“Yuhang grew up in the military since he was a child, and has been lurking in Western Qin for those days, his nature is naturally cold and restrained, not like other imperial sons, and His Majesty’s affinity. However, he is willing to defend His Majesty with his life, isn’t this friendship more rare than saying a few nice words and pampering himself in front of you?

“Besides, looking at his acceptance of the marriage with Xiangmian, and the way he treats Xiangmian well on weekdays, it is clear that Yu Wang is an honest child, and his heart is thankful to His Majesty, but unlike the other brothers who are sweet-talking, he always has to suffer a bit.”

Said, Fu Ning Palace people will Zhaoren princess this month’s letters, sent in.

Noble Consort Hui immediately read it to His Majesty in front of him. The emperor listened to the princess’s family correspondence, his mood gradually improved, and laughed out, “My little grandson will already call mom …… It’s only been seven months, right …… like Hsien Yao is as ghostly as he is.”

“The grandson that is also His Majesty’s bloodline, naturally a smart child.”

Hui Guifei accompanied the emperor to chat about family matters, pinch the shoulders and legs, and served him in the Fu Ning Palace with meals, twenty years to form the habit, already do not need to think, the emperor served properly.

Before the emperor’s nap, only then opened his mouth to tell Hui Guifei in detail about the matter of Kai Wang, cursing: “This rebellious son, killing the king’s father, but also in the Chonghua Hall to his own brother poisoned!”

Noble Consort Hui pretended to be surprised: “King Kai dared to do such a rebellious thing? It’s truly heartbreaking! Your Majesty, you must be very sad.”

“Yes,” the emperor leaned back in the soft couch, his eyes full of weariness, “Have I not treated him well? He was mediocre in talent, but I still gave him the title of Prince, second only to Xian Yao. He restrained his vassal unfavorably, was sued to the capital, I also do not dispose of him, for him to cover ……”

“Your Majesty’s loving fatherly heart, it’s just a pity that King Kai is confused and has taken the wrong path ……”

“Hm? You think, he is just confused for a moment ……”

Hui Guifei busy said: “I do not understand the Kai Wang, but only Chengqian Palace these days cold, other princes and relatives, are immediately watch the wind, and Chengqian Palace cut off the dealings, only Kai Wang His Highness, often come to ask for peace. This does not see the wind to make the rudder of the heart, look is good.”

The emperor thoughtfully glanced at Hui Guifei: “You ah, simple minded, so look at the others, all to the good place to think. You also don’t think about it, King Li was demoted, the reliance of the Central Palace is gone. King Kai has the name of the eldest son, if he gains the support of the Middle Palace at this time and succeeds in his plot to rebel, the Middle Palace proposes that he succeed the great lineage, and the courtiers will naturally agree, so won’t everything just fall into place.”

“Ah?” Noble Consort Hui looked incredulous, “How can a person’s heart be so bad? I feel that Empress Dowager would never be this way towards the Emperor.”

“She wouldn’t, she’s just being used.” The emperor hummed, “Marquis Yongan doesn’t think so. This old fox, today, he actually retreated as an advance and invited himself into the Criminal Precepts Division to be tortured to prove his innocence. I guess, he has taken care of all the traces and cleaned up, without evidence, this matter can only be carried by King Kai alone.”

Concubine Hui said, “So what? His Majesty has insight into everything and will naturally come to a verdict.”

The emperor patted her hand, “That’s natural, I won’t let him off the hook.”

While speaking, a palace man reported that the Empress was outside the palace seeking an audience.

The emperor didn’t even bother to raise his eyelids, “I’m tired, tell her to go back to the palace by herself.”
