Chapter 24
Rong Xiao left.
He walked for a long time, Zhao Jinqing just grabbed the air around him, his hands were empty, nothing.Although he said he didn't care, could Zhao Jinqing really not care?The death of Empress Dowager Xiaoci weighed on Zhao Jinqing's heart like a big stone, and he was the murderer of his mother's death.
"His Majesty……"
Zhao Jinqing sat for a long time before raising his head. In the dim light of the fire, a man in brown clothes sat down with a jug of wine.Zang Feng smiled: "Your Majesty, would you like some drink?"
Zhao Jinqing took it over and took a sip. The wine was extremely spicy, with a crisp and numb taste. Zhao Jinqing held the jug, "Three thousand family wine, thank you for remembering."
Zang Feng smiled: "That's right, I'm a roundworm in His Majesty's stomach. This wine has been stored for three years, and I still brought it to Your Majesty today."
Zhao Jinqing sighed: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go to Pingzhou again. By the way, what happened to the case of the prefect of Pingzhou last time? Why did he suddenly commit suicide in fear of crime?"
Zang Feng frowned, and said in a low voice: "Rong Xiao sent someone, and the prefect of Pingzhou died in prison."
Zhao Jinqing glanced at Zang Feng clearly, and took a sip of wine slowly. "I see." He paused, "Our plan, let's begin!"
"So early?" Zang Feng was a little surprised.Zhao Jinqing said in a low voice: "Quickly, it will take a month. You take Mulan away first. After the mother's empress is buried, I have to deal with Jiangning's affairs. There is a flood, and I can't ignore it. Now that the matter is over, I have nothing to worry about..."
Zang Feng nodded, "I understand."
The low voice of conversation drifted outside the door, and amidst the patter of rain, a dark shadow clenched its fists tightly.
On the second day, Rong Xiao left Jiangning.He is a special envoy for disaster relief. When he left Beijing, it was raining lightly.
"My lord, let me follow you!" Before he had time to leave the city, a docile boy suddenly appeared from the sideways.Holding a white umbrella, Sun Yuning looked like a happy rabbit: "I also want to go and provide disaster relief with you."
Rong Xiao was a little surprised, glanced at the young man lightly, and said sullenly: "You don't know anything, so what do you do?"
"I will serve the prince!" Sun Yuning blushed, "I want to follow the prince."
Rong Xiao's face darkened, but he didn't speak.
"Okay, you will only add to the chaos if you go." Suddenly a voice sounded, and when Sun Yuning turned around, he saw a man in white gave him a casual look, and then looked at Rong Xiao: "My lord, it's getting late, it's time to start."
Rong Xiao narrowed his eyes, motioning him and himself to go to the other side, "Lingchen, come here. I have something to talk to you."
Ling Chen hummed, and immediately followed.As soon as he stood still, Rong Xiao punched him so hard that Ling Chen's eyes were filled with gold stars.
"What's the matter, my lord? Who got so angry?" Ling Chen raised his half-swollen face and said in a low voice.
Rong Xiao snorted: "It's you! I told you a long time ago that if the Empress Dowager Xiaoci has something strange, report it truthfully! It's almost gone so far, you dare to say that you can get away with it! Lingchen is a fist this time, and it won't be the next time." Alright." He paused for a moment: "By the way, when I'm not in Beijing, show me a good guy. If he makes any moves, you..."
"Also ask the prince to show me."
Rong Xiao looked at the sky gloomily, showing a cold smile. "kill him."
Ling Chen glanced at him silently, and sighed in a low voice: "Okay."
Rong Xiao snorted, lifted himself up and left.A group of people came out of the capital, amidst the dense misty rain, a figure sat quietly on a high platform, holding a box wrapped with gold silk in one hand, and taking a sip of wine leisurely with the other.
The officials who sent off went back and forth.Ning Wang Zhao Yuan is also one of them.What is he thinking about at the moment, rather than thinking about it, it is more troublesome.While he was in a daze, a figure suddenly jumped down from the high platform, blocking Zhao Yuan's way.
"My lord, congratulations." Suddenly, a magnetic voice came.As soon as Zhao Yuan looked up, he saw a man in brown standing still, with a smile on his lips.
"Congratulations?" Facing the unexpected visitor, Zhao Yuan turned cold, "Congratulations to me?"
"My lord, don't you understand what the emperor means?" The man took a sip of his wine leisurely, "If you don't understand, then you should understand when you see this person."
Zhao Yuan looked around, except for the man in brown in front of him, where is anyone?He looked at the man vigilantly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Smart people don't speak dark words."
The man smiled faintly: "There are too many people here, I know there is an alley near here, my lord, please move." As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked leisurely towards the entrance of the nearby alley, drinking while walking. Drinking, quite indifferently.
Zhao Yuan snorted, looking at the man with a look of fear in his eyes.However, curiosity trumped fear.After all, Zhao Yuan is not a timid person. The man in front of him aroused his interest, so Zhao Yuan followed.
This road is sparsely populated, Zhao Yuan was lamenting that there is such a small road, he realized that the road is quite sparsely populated, not even a single person selling candied haws not far away.
Looking up again, the man in black was gone.In the quiet alley, Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on the gold silk box not far away.
Zhao Yuan frowned, and then came to his senses: "Is it Rong Xiao's trap?" Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan ran away.
"...I didn't expect him to be so courageous." From the shadows, Zang Feng came out, laughing endlessly.
Zhao Jinqing also laughed and said: "Okay, since he dare not, then take the things back."
"Yes!" Zang Feng blinked and said to Zhao Jinqing, "Master, you just laughed."
"Really..." Zhao Jinqing froze, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
In a confused mood, Zhao Yuan returned home.As soon as he saw a gold box in the center of his mansion, Zhao Yuan was taken aback. "What's going on here?" Zhao Yuan turned around and called the housekeeper, looking at the box on the table with a sullen expression on his face.
"My lord, didn't you ask someone to bring this back?"
Zhao Yuan snorted, "Forget it, go down, oh yes, call Zhang Tailin for me."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuan opened the mechanism of the box.There was only a man's head, looking at Zhao Yuan with open eyes.There was fear and fear in that expression, Zhao Yuan looked at the head quietly for a long while, and felt sick, so he closed the gold box.
Isn't this person the eunuch Xiao Wu who is accompanying Zhao Jinqing?Why was he here, and why was he killed?
Zhao Yuan is one head and two big, and he has a feeling that he is becoming more and more unable to see through the foggy capital.
