Su Rong slept until dusk and woke up to hear Fengling talking about Xie Lin's assassination case.
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "Two cold arrows, two dead soldiers, this is really a deadly attack." She asked Fengling, "What exactly did Xie Lin find out?"
Fengling shook her head, "Only Prince Xie himself and Prince Ruian know."
Su Rong thought thoughtfully, "Is there a message from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Fengling shook her head.
Su Rong didn't intend to pay attention. Now that even the young prince of Ruian Prince's Palace dared to assassinate, Prince Ruian would definitely be furious and would spare no effort to find out the real culprit. She really stirred up the water in the capital.
After having dinner, she went directly back to her room to sleep.
On the second day, early in the morning, after having breakfast, Ye Guixue drove into the palace.
The emperor came down from the morning court and heard Eunuch Yu report that the second son of Prime Minister Ye had entered the palace. The emperor paused and immediately asked: "Where is he now?"
"My servant sent someone to take Mr. Ye to the Mingde Hall." Mr. Yu said impartially.
The emperor was stunned, "Since I learned about it five years ago..."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, "Young Master Ye is busy with things, so of course I won't blame you." He then asked with a smile: "Is the king's body still in good condition recently?"
The emperor paused when he heard this, "What do you mean, your king, is not afraid of war? Has Nan Chu been prepared for these years?"
The emperor recalled: "Princess Zhenmin is like my sister. Although she was cruel and did not tell me that she had a daughter, now that I know it, I cannot ignore it."
He slowly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Ye, please forgive me!"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Your Majesty, that's right."
Ye Guixue did not accept these words.
The emperor nodded and walked towards Mingde Hall.
"That's good." The emperor nodded, "I heard that your Prime Minister Ye's Mansion is planning to marry the Nangong family? So you are sending your little niece to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion for placement?"
He looked at Ye Guixue, "I wonder when the King of Southern Chu learned about it?"
Ye Guixue said: "The king has said that as long as the princess returns to Nanchu, the princess's plan will be our king's plan."
Rumors have spread all over the capital. Before yesterday, Mr. Ye Er and Miss Su Qi went to the Great Buddha Temple to worship Buddha. Everyone was speculating on the relationship between Ye Guixue and Su Rong.
The emperor sat up straight, "Oh? What's the official business?"
Ye Guixue saw that the emperor paused and did not answer the question. She listened attentively and listened quietly to what was going on.
Ye Guixue entered the palace at the right time. After the emperor came down from the morning court, he did not delay or keep Ye Guixue waiting, and came to Mingde Hall.
Ye Guixue said matter-of-factly: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the situation in Southern Chu has not been very stable. Our king has only one daughter, the king. If we can't pave the way for it, how can we welcome the princess back to Nanchu smoothly?"
Ye Guixue was not a courtier of Daliang, so naturally the emperor could not receive him in the imperial study.
Ye Guixue handed over his hand without hesitation, "Guixue rushed all the way to Beijing and is quite acclimated to it. I came to see you a few days late. Please forgive me."
He looked at Ye Guixue and said, "I wonder what King Nan Chu is planning?"
The emperor looked at Ye Guixue and saw that Fengyi was very kind and unforgettable, and he praised her in his heart. At that time, a daughter from the Duke of Chengguo's mansion fell in love with the son of Prime Minister Ye of Nanchu.
Daliang tried his best to promote the vassal relationship, and Princess Zhenmin later signed a marriage contract between Daliang and the prince of Nanchu, which for a time closely tied Nanchu and Daliang together.
Ye Guixue is the second son of Prime Minister Ye of Southern Chu, and Su Rong is the concubine of Jiangzhou Governor's Palace. They both came to the capital not long ago. Could it be that they have known each other for a long time? There is another theory that Su Rong retired for Ye Guixue.
Zhou Gu’s marriage.
The emperor was shocked. He didn't expect that the King of Nan Chu valued Su Rong so much and did not use his royal power to suppress her. This meant that as long as Su Rong returned to Nan Chu, everything would be subject to her wishes. This was because he had not yet arrived in Nan Chu.
Chu, will you hand over power in advance?
If the King of Southern Chu knew about it five years earlier than he did, then he should have made such preparations and plans earlier, otherwise he would not have said it so straightforwardly.
The emperor maintained his composure on his face and nodded, "Your king only has this princess, so she should be treated like this. Although I haven't met Su Rong yet, she has done a lot of things since she came to Beijing.
I have long been paying attention to her. When I learned about her life experience, I wanted to summon her immediately, but the old protector stopped me. He was worried that the Wei Dynasty would attack. What happened that year, since Princess Zhenmin faked her death and escaped, if the Wei Dynasty knew about it,
I will definitely not give up because the peace treaty she signed will be invalidated. If the Wei Dynasty tears up the peace treaty, the conflict between the two countries will probably start again. If I can't make complete preparations, it will really be difficult for me to see her and confirm her identity."
The emperor was surprised, "It was actually the King of Nanchu who made it happen?" He wanted to ask why, but if it involved the internal affairs of Nanchu, it was difficult for him to ask, so he could only ask in a roundabout way: "Young Master Ye came back to Daliang just for the sake of
Is it a private matter, or do you also have official duties?”
Ye Guixue nodded understandingly, "What your Majesty said is that the old Protector of the Kingdom has considered it very carefully." He paused, "But our King told me before leaving that Princess Zhenmin and our King
The marriage certificate from that year was not really torn up. Our king wants him and Princess Zhenmin’s daughter to be welcomed back to Nanchu in a dignified manner. Her identity cannot be doubted. And it must be done as soon as possible."
Ye Guixue nodded, "What our king means is that the identity of the princess cannot be doubted. If the Wei Dynasty invades, our king will still fight against the Wei Dynasty together with Daliang as before."
"It's a short stay." Ye Guixue corrected with a smile, "My eldest brother is indeed engaged to Miss Nangong."
The emperor suddenly realized, "What the King of Southern Chu is considering is..."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Thanks to your Majesty's concern, my king is always well and the king's body is in good condition."
In the Mingde Palace, Ye Guixue was sitting and drinking tea. The servants and maids who were serving him all looked at him secretly. This night, the second young master was really as good-looking as the rumors. He was as handsome as a jade tree orchid, which was dazzling at first sight.
Ye Guixue smiled and said, "Welcome back my princess of Southern Chu from Daliang."
He sighed, "After all, Su Rong is also my niece. When my cousin sacrificed her life for righteousness, I am still grieved. If I had known that she had a daughter left behind, I would not have let Su Rong suffer in Jiangning County for many years."
At that time, Princess Zhenmin was disturbed by the Great Wei and the Nangong family in Southern Chu. She had no choice but to marry the Great Wei. If the Ye family had not turned against the King of Nanchu, the royal power of Southern Chu would have changed hands at that time. Therefore, over the years,
, although the Nangong family and the Ye family have no real relationship on the surface, in fact there have been constant frictions, and the relationship is not really good. The Nangong family is a relative, and the Ye family is a royalist, so they have not dealt with each other, and now they have entered into a marriage.
It's really surprising.
Ye Guixue said: "Our king learned about it five years ago."
The emperor looked at Ye Guixue and said in a roundabout way, "Ye Xiang's Mansion and the Nangong Family..."
Ye Guixue smiled and said: "The marriage between the two palaces was facilitated by our king."
The emperor said: "I also just found out that Su Rong is the daughter of Princess Zhenmin and the King of Nanchu. The old protector has kept it a secret these years and has not told me anything, so I only know it now."
Hearing the voices of the palace maids and eunuchs calling "Your Majesty" in unison, Ye Guixue slowly stood up and saluted the bright yellow figure who came in from outside, "Nan Chu Ye Guixue meets Your Majesty Daliang."
Ye Guixue said bluntly: "It is both a private matter and a public matter."
The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, then smiled and invited Ye Guixue to take a seat, and said to him with great courtesy: "Second Young Master Ye, I heard that you came to Daliang Capital and wanted to meet you for a long time, but you are really difficult to invite, so I
As for today, I have never met you."
The emperor felt relieved. It turned out that Ye Guixue really came for Su Rong, and Ye Xiang's Mansion was still the Ye Xiang's Mansion tied to the King of Nanchu. His expression instantly softened, and he said with a smile: "Since Second Young Master Ye spoke frankly,
I will ask you directly. Are you talking about Su Rong?"
The emperor could only continue: "When did the relationship become so good?"
He looked at the King of Southern Chu and said bluntly, "Has Daliang been completely unprepared all these years?"
The King of Southern Chu shook his head, "After the First World War in Daliang, the late emperor lost his niece and I lost my cousin. Although we signed a non-aggression treaty, since I ascended the throne, I cannot naively believe that the Wei Dynasty has
The peace treaty will not be broken for a day, so the three young masters of the Protectorate have been joining the army and training diligently."
If it weren't for Wei to prevent him from turning against him one day, how could he have tolerated the Duke Protector's office to this day?
Ye Guixue nodded, "It's not just that Daliang is completely unprepared. Our king also said that Princess Zhenmin was born in Daliang and grew up in Daliang. Her sacrifice for Daliang is a lesson to be learned. Even if she faked her death and escaped, she was still unkind to Wei Wei."
In the front, she acts as a partner in the back, treating others in their own way. Therefore, our king hopes that your majesty will recognize your niece in a dignified way. In the name of Princess Zhengzhenmin, we in Nanchu will also be dignified.
Welcome back the princess."
The King of Nan Chu nodded, "What the King of Nan Chu said is absolutely correct, and I also feel that it makes sense."
