Several girls were listening to Luo Junyao's adventures during this period in the palace. While they were chattering, Ling Lan came in and announced, "Princess, Marquis Yueyang has returned to the capital."
On the first day after returning, Luo Junyao told Ling Lan to keep an eye on the situation in the Yueyang Marquis Mansion.
"Marquis Yueyang?" Qin Ning said, "The one who defended the city with Yaoyao in Yanzhou...is he Jiang Che's father?"
Luo Junyao said helplessly: "I did not defend the city. The ones guarding the city were Marquis Yueyang and Gu Jue."
Qin Ning waved her hand and said she didn't need to care about these details, "Why do you care about him?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "The eldest prince Gaoyu was escorted back to the capital by Marquis Yueyang. I have a grudge against him."
Qin Ning looked at him and couldn't help complaining: "He has a grudge against you, right? He's a dignified prince of Gaoyu, isn't it miserable enough for you to trick him?"
Luo Junyao patted her head unceremoniously and said: "Princess Anyang, do you still have the consciousness of being the princess of Dasheng? He is Prince Gaoyu and is our enemy."
"That's right." Qin Ning nodded solemnly and said, "He deserves to be unlucky when he meets you. Should we go watch and bring some rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, leaves, etc.?"
"..."
Ling Lan coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's too late, Princess. Prince Gao Yu has probably been taken into custody by now."
Song Huan glanced at Qin Ning and said: "Although he is said to be a prisoner, he is still a prince of a kingdom. The regent must use him to gain benefits from negotiating with Gao Yu. You should save your rotten eggs and rotten vegetables first.
Bar."
Seeing that Luo Junyao was a little distracted, Song Yan knew that something might be wrong with her.
"It's getting late today, let's go back first. Shake, don't forget the letter from the owner of Tantai Island." Song Huan said to the others.
Everyone also knew that Luo Junyao had just returned to the capital and must have a lot of things going on, so they all followed Song Wei and stood up to say goodbye to Xiluo Junyao.
After sending everyone out, Luo Junyao turned back and asked Ling Lan, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"
Ling Lan said: "Sure enough, Marquis Yueyang brought back a woman and two children, and..."
"And what?"
Ling Lan said: "Marquis Yueyang rode into the city with the woman in his arms. All the people in Shangyong saw it."
"Crack." The tea cup in Luo Junyao's hand shattered with the sound. Seeing Luo Junyao's cold expression, Ling Lan did not dare to say anything.
Luo Junyao sneered and said, "Does he want to make the matter known to everyone so as to force Mrs. Yueyang Hou to recognize the mother and son?"
Ling Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just a concubine and two concubines. Mrs. Yueyang Hou shouldn't take it to heart, right?"
There will inevitably be sadness, but Prince Yueyang is no longer young, and now he is His Majesty's companion, with a bright future. There is no need for Mrs. Yueyang to lower her status to embarrass a concubine and two concubine children.
Luo Junyao said lightly: "It must be that Marquis Yueyang really just wants to take a concubine into his room."
Ling Lan blinked her eyes in confusion, what else could she do? Could it be that Marquis Yueyang dared to abandon his married wife who had been married for many years and raised children for her and supported her parents for a concubine?
Luo Junyao waved his hand and said: "Let people keep an eye on the Yueyang Marquis Mansion."
"Yes, Princess."
In another cell separated by a wall from Cao Mian and Ruan Ting, there was a new prisoner admitted today.
Heruomuti sat alone in an empty cell. Although he was a prisoner, as the important prince of Gaoyu, his treatment was even better than that of Ruan Ting and Cao Mian.
It's just that he is not in the mood to care about his treatment now. He sits in the cell with a numb expression, turning a blind eye to everything around him.
The day he became a prisoner was the lowest point in He Ruomuti's life. He even suspected that this might be the end of his life.
It was not until he was escorted back to Shangyong that He Ruomudi gradually understood that Xie Yan would not kill him yet.
After entering the city today, while sitting in the prison car facing the disgusted and mocking eyes of the people on both sides of the street, He Ruomuti couldn't help but think of the time when he came to Shangyong as Gaoyu's envoy last year.
At that time, Gao Yu was still an ally of Dasheng, so they were naturally received grandly and warmly by Dasheng.
What kind of scenery is that?
He even thought of his younger brother, He Ruoqiuti, who he always thought was a bit stupid.
After this battle, he was unintentionally the biggest loser.
And the winner turned out to be He Ruoqiuti.
Xie Yan walked in from outside, followed by Wei Changting.
He Ruomuti raised his head and glanced at Xie Yan who was standing outside, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, are you here to visit me, a prisoner?"
Xie Yan said: "King Gaoyu has agreed to send an envoy to Shangyong to negotiate. Whether the eldest prince can go back depends on what price King Gaoyu is willing to pay."
He Ruomudi shook his head and said: "If the prince expects this, he might as well kill me directly. My father... will not pay a high price for me."
Heruomuti was once the most favored prince of King Gaoyu, but he did not rely on his favor to become arrogant. Because he knew very well why King Gaoyu valued and doted on him.
His father's respect and favor were never because of He Ruomudi.
Xie Yan said calmly: "The eldest prince does not need to be so pessimistic."
He Ruomuti smiled bitterly, how could he still be optimistic?
"Your Majesty is also from the royal family. Do you really believe in the deep love between father and son?"
These words are a bit provocative and mocking. After all, even if He Ruomuti is from Gaoyu, he still knows the relationship between Xie Yan and his biological parents.
King Mu and his wife are now unknown whether they are alive or dead. Not everyone suspects that Xie Yan has killed King Mu and his wife.
Changting, the guard next to him, smiled and said: "Eldest Prince, what our prince means is that perhaps the eldest prince is still of great use to King Gaoyu. The eldest prince may also be able to think of ways to make this value even greater."
"For example?" He Ruomu asked.
Wei Changting said: "For example, write a letter to King Gaoyu to reminisce about old friendships or something like that."
He Ruomuti's eyes flashed slightly and he understood immediately.
"What do you want to use me for?"
Wei Changting said: "No one in Gaoyu knows the true cause of death of General Jamuka."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Ruomuti's eyes lit up slightly, he was silent for a while, and there was an obvious look of struggle on his face.
He knew what Wei Changting meant, and he also understood what Xie Yan wanted to do.
He has betrayed Gao Yu once, is there any way back?
If we don't follow the path given by Xie Yan, it would be a bit ridiculous to be unyielding at this time.
But he also knew that once he nodded, he would be controlled by Xie Yan and Dasheng from now on.
Even if he returns to Gaoyu, he is just Xie Yan's puppet.
Wei Changting slowly added some weight, "The current situation of King Gaoyu is not good. Once the throne of Gaoyu is officially taken over by He Ruoqiuti..."
Wei Changting smiled but did not say what he said next.
However, Heruomuti understood what he meant. Once Heruoqiuti officially succeeded to the throne, he would be of little use.
No one in Gaoyu would be interested in a half-Human prince who was defeated and captured.
And people who are of no use naturally don't have to do it anymore.
He Ruomuti lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally he raised his head and said slowly: "What does the prince want me to do?"
Xie Yan and Wei Changting came out of He Ruomuti's cell, and Jiang Guanmu was waiting outside the cell.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wei." Jiang Guanmu cupped his hands and said.
Wei Changting returned the salute with his hands raised, "Marquis Yueyang."
Xie Yan said: "Marquis Yueyang escorted He Ruomuti and Cao Jie all the way back to Beijing. It was a hard journey."
"The general will not dare," Jiang Guanmu said.
Xie Yan said: "Marquis Yueyang will go back to rest first. The rest of the matters will be discussed in the palace tomorrow."
Jiang Guanmu hesitated for a moment and then resigned, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will retire at the end."
Watching Jiang Guanmu say goodbye and leave, Wei Changting said with a smile: "This Marquis Yueyang, he just returned to Beijing today and made a great deal of fun."
Xie Yan looked sideways at him, and Wei Changting smiled and said: "Marquis Yueyang is riding a horse in the street with a fragile beauty in his arms. Most of the people in Shangyong can see it. The famous general and the beauty complement each other. Marquis Yueyang is stationed near the border.
For ten years, it is natural to have a close confidant and a red sleeve to add fragrance. Just wait, tomorrow morning I am afraid that the story about Marquis Yueyang and that beauty will be circulated in teahouses and restaurants. "
Xie Yan frowned, turned around and walked out.
Wei Changting followed him, "Aren't you going to see Cao Mian?"
"What's there to see?" Xie Yan said, "When all the Cao family members are escorted back to Beijing, we can handle it in accordance with the law."
"But yes, on this journey back, I probably can't say much about what I should say and what I shouldn't say."
Xie Yan said: "There is no such thing as Bai Cu's notes. He still refuses to open his mouth."
Wei Changting also heard something about the relationship between Cao Mian and Bai Xu. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that this note is not in his hands at all?"
Xie Yan said: "Maybe, this is not important."
Wei Changting shrugged, "Since the prince said it's not important, then it's not important."
Yueyang Houfu.
Mrs. Yueyang Hou was sitting on the main seat in the lobby with a dignified expression. Next to her stood the cold-looking Jiang Che. Jiang Che was originally still a child, but at this time, his cold and solemn expression seemed to have the aura of an adult.
.
On the ground in front of their mother and son, a weak woman and two children were kneeling.
Mrs. Yueyang Hou looked calm, but Jiang Che's eyes were full of anger.
This anger was not all directed at the two young and old in front of him, but more towards his father, whom he had not seen for several years and had not yet stepped into the house.
Mrs. Yueyang Hou said calmly: "Let the two children get up."
Mrs. Han raised her head and looked at Mrs. Yueyang Hou.
Mrs. Yueyanghou's appearance surprised her a little, because Jiang Guanmu didn't often mention his wife. Han always thought that Mrs. Yueyanghou was just from a high family and her appearance was not that great.
But when I saw her today, I realized that Mrs. Yueyang Hou's appearance was no less than her own, or even worse.
This made her feel a little uneasy, and she could only comfort herself in her heart: The Marquis did not only care about looks. Otherwise, he would not have fallen in love with her only if so many young and beautiful women had come to his door over the years.
Jiang Che looked at Han's affectionate look, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, he raised his foot and was about to step forward, but was held back by his mother.
"Stand still, what's the fuss about?"
"Mother!" Jiang Che gritted his teeth and said.
Mrs. Yueyang Hou patted her son's arm comfortingly and said to Mr. Han: "You should get up too. Someone, take this girl and the two children to the guest room to rest. If you have anything to do, wait until Mr. Hou comes back."
When he heard the word girl, Han's face turned pale.
"Madam, I..."
Mrs. Yueyang Hou raised her hand to stop her, "Miss Han, if you have anything to do, wait until Mr. Hou comes back to talk about it. Please."
The servants of the Yueyang Hou Mansion came in and respectfully but coldly asked the Han family, mother and son, to go out.
Mr. Han stood up, took the two children and turned to leave, but suddenly turned around and knelt down on the ground again with a plop.
"Madam, I know it's me and the Marquis who are sorry for you. Please forgive us for the sake of our two children." Han covered her face and cried.
The two children looked at their mother in confusion, and couldn't help crying.
The girl threw herself into her mother's arms, looked at Yueyang Houhu on the throne and cried, "You bully mother, you are bad people! I'm going to ask daddy to beat you!"
Mrs. Han quickly covered her daughter's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Madam, Madam did not bully my mother."
The little girl looked at her mother in confusion. It was obvious that these people were bullying her mother. Why did her mother say no? Why did her mother still cry?
Children who are too young cannot understand what is going on between adults and can only cry loudly.
"Tell them to get out!" Jiang Che couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at the mother and son on the ground and shouted sternly.
"Who are you asking to get out?" Jiang Guanmu's voice came from outside.
As soon as the two children heard their father's voice, they immediately got up and rushed toward Jiang Guanmu who came in from the door.
"Wow wow... ow wow, daddy, they are bad people, bullying my mother-in-law!"
"Uuuu...Daddy, Qin'er is so scared!"
Jiang Guanmu leaned over and picked up his daughter, patting her gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With dad here, no one dares to bully Qin'er."
Jiang Che stared intently at the tall man holding the little girl in front of him, with a cold and angry look on his face.
Is this the father he has been waiting for every day?
Has he ever cared about his mother's face or his son?
Whose husband and father is he...?
Jiang Che thought of his joy and expectations these days, and felt that he was very ridiculous at that time.
"I said, let them get out!" Jiang Che said sternly.
Jiang Che's voice was too sharp and cold, and the cries in the hall were all silenced.
Only then did Jiang Guanmu notice his wife and children, whom he had not seen for several years. His wife was sitting on the main seat with an indifferent expression, while his son looked at them with an indifferent expression, his eyes full of anger and hatred.
Jiang Guanmu felt guilty and guilty for a moment, but soon a wave of anger surged into his heart.
"Jiang Che, who told you to treat your brothers and sisters like this?" Jiang Guanmu said coldly, "I am your father, what is your attitude?"
Jiang Che gritted his teeth and wanted to speak, but Madam Yueyang Hou held her shoulder down.
Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his mother, "Mother?"
Mrs. Yueyang Hou looked at Jiang Guanmu calmly, "Master Hou, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Jiang Guanmu's face changed slightly, but his tone softened a bit. He said softly: "Madam, Ah Che is no longer a child. This temper..."
"Ah Che is doing well. He has never made any mistakes outside."
Mrs. Yueyang Hou interrupted him and said: "Even the Taifu and the gentlemen around His Majesty have never said anything bad about A Che."
"..." If you talk like this, what else do you want me to say?
