Su Rong didn't know whether the emperor wanted to give him a lighter sentence, but she knew that Prince Yan Huiwei would never let the emperor handle her lightly.
On her way to Beijing, she encountered many assassinations, and after she came to Beijing, she encountered many dead soldiers. She spent a lot of effort, using herself as a target, disrupting the major palaces in the capital, and breaking the situation for Yan Huisheng. If she had made even half a step
If anything goes wrong, she will die, and Yan Huisheng will not be able to get better. At this point, she has made every move, and Yan Huisheng's cooperation is flawless. The lights in the East Palace have been turned on almost every night recently, how much effort has been spent, she knows, Yan Huisheng
Also clear.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Yan Huisheng to reach this point without taking a big bite of the fat on his lips.
He has been suffering and enduring for many years, not just to endure it forever. The knife cannot be unsheathed, but it has always been sharp. Now it is time for his sharp knife to be unsheathed.
Even if the emperor is the sky, the prince can also be the sword that pokes a hole in the sky. From tonight on, the emperor can no longer suppress the prince, but allows the prince to endure without saying a word.
But this is far from enough. Holding everything down is not the goal. Holding everything down is the goal.
Therefore, Su Rong felt that she still had to stay in Daliang Jingcheng for a while to help Yan Huisheng clear all obstacles. When she returned to Nanchu, Yan Huisheng could spare no effort to help her and be her strongest backing.
When she returned to her residence, she saw the lights on. Su Rong opened the door and entered the house, where she saw the eldest lady sitting at the table waiting for her.
She was surprised, "Mom, why didn't you go and rest?"
"I'm not sleepy, I'll wait for you." The eldest lady said matter-of-factly: "Mrs. Shen arranged a yard for me, but I said I wanted to live with you. Your sisters have all gone to bed."
Su Rong said "Oh" and said with a smile, "Mother misses me."
The eldest lady said "poof", "Who missed you? Stop putting so much money on your face."
Su Rong clicked her tongue, "Tough talk."
The eldest lady glared at her fiercely.
Su Rong asked: "Where are Aunt Zhao and Yue Wan? Are they okay?"
"They're fine. Those people didn't kill anyone, they just kidnapped us. They're either going back or on the way," the doctor said.
Su Rong nodded, "Not killing people is not because they are kind, but because they are afraid of irritating me."
The eldest lady nodded, looked at her and asked, "What's going on with you and Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong knew that she would ask this, and said while undressing: "It's nothing. He used to be the prince's companion, and now he naturally helps the prince. Tonight, he is the one who invites your Majesty to the palace. Although we have broken off the engagement, but
We are not enemies of life and death, so we naturally want to be harmonious. Anyway, we are all helping the prince now, and we are on the same rope."
The eldest lady looked at her suspiciously and said unceremoniously: "Although you didn't crawl out of my belly, I watched you grow up. You have a lot of ideas that others don't know, but I am clear.
Tell me truthfully, do you have a different opinion about Zhou Gu?"
Su Rong turned around and rolled her eyes at the eldest lady, "Mother, how did you see that I don't mean what I mean?"
The eldest lady snorted softly, "From Zhou Gu's attitude towards you."
Su Rong clicked his tongue and simply sat down, intending to discuss this issue with him, "Mother, what is my attitude towards Zhou Gu? What attitude makes you think that I don't mean what I say?"
The eldest lady looked at her and planned to have a good talk with her, "With your temperament, if you really don't want to have anything to do with him, you won't allow him to interfere in any of your affairs. Let's make it clear.
Absolutely nothing."
"This doesn't count." Su Rong shook his head, "If you break off the engagement, it doesn't mean that you have become a life-or-death enemy."
The eldest lady sneered, "Innocent, how many people who broke off their engagement have you seen and are as harmonious as you? Not to mention they are life and death enemies, it has absolutely nothing to do with it. Even I heard about it in Jiangning County. He has a high fever.
, in order to save him, you ran hundreds of miles late at night, went to Beijing dressed in blood, went straight to the Duke Protector's Mansion, and took his life back from the hands of the Lord of Hell."
Su Rong had no choice but to say, "When life is involved, I broke off the engagement first. I can't bear to do this to him, so naturally I can't ignore him."
The eldest lady slapped her hard on the forehead and said directly: "Your words are useful to deceive others, but it is useless to deceive me. Tell the truth. Do you still have any concerns about him in your heart?"
Su Rong lay on the table and reminded her silently, "Mother, although you were kidnapped when you came to Beijing, your ultimate purpose was to see your sisters and see Gui Xue by the way. You were not here to kidnap me.
Cut the heart open and clean it to see if it is red or black."
The eldest lady only stared at her, her eyes showing an expression of "Let me see what tricks you can come up with."
Su Rong smiled and simply said directly, "What if I care about Zhou Gu, so what if I don't care? In short, I have already canceled the engagement. Not to mention the withdrawal, I also accepted Ye Guixue's betrothal gift.
I decided to marry him. This is a fact. The choice was made by myself, whether it was right or wrong, I have made it."
The eldest lady choked and was speechless for a while.
Su Rong sighed and patted her hand, "Mom, Guixue is very good. You will know when you see him tomorrow. You will know when you see the son-in-law I chose for you that he is a bad match for me."
Understand."
The eldest lady was not angry, "Assuming you are self-aware, even when I was staying in Jiangning County, I heard that the second young master of Nanchu Yexiangfu was famous all over the world and was very talented. At that time, you went down to the river to catch fish, went up the mountain to hunt birds, and followed
You're covered in wounds from a fight and you're crying and asking me to help you go out and vent your anger. What do you deserve? Of course you don't deserve it."
Su Rong: "..."
This is my mother, right? Mi Tairen is not polite at all.
Seeing that she was speechless, the eldest lady glared at her again, "Even if you break off Zhou Gu's marriage, you shouldn't agree to go home at night so soon. He is right, but since you have Zhou Gu in your heart
, you shouldn’t have accepted Ye Guixue when you didn’t let go. Now when I look at the way Zhou Gu looks at you, it’s obvious that he hasn’t let go of you either. Aren’t you kidding?”
Su Rong sat up straight and said seriously: "Mother, I am really not messing around. Even if I had some small thoughts about Zhou Gu when I was in Jiangning County, why not, for the sake of my future and his future?
, I think my choice is right. How much is love worth? You told me, it’s not worth mentioning. But I really didn’t expect that he would not be able to let me go. I thought Young Master Zhou of the Protector’s Palace was so arrogant.
A proud and arrogant person, looking high-spirited and unrestrained, and reading it from the East Palace as a companion, cannot be a blank piece of paper. Whoever draws a stroke will be identified. If this is the case, he should be identified.
Duan Hua is the one. But I didn't expect that I overestimated him and underestimated myself. Now that it has reached this point and he can't let go, I am also responsible. I want me to be good to him, but if he doesn't
Well, of course I can't just watch and not care."
Su Rong sighed, remembering Zhou Gu's appearance and what he said to her at the door of Feng Yu's house today, her forehead jumped again, and she admitted: "You are right, I was careless, but I have been a child since I was a child.
He was assassinated. The situation in Nanchu is not optimistic. The Nangong family is the dominant family, and the Nanchu clan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The support of the Ye Xiangfu and the military power of 100,000 troops can save me a lot of energy. The key is to return at night.
Xue himself was the wife specially trained for me by the King of Nanchu. I really admire him and would be happy if he became my husband. Therefore, there was really nothing to hesitate about at the beginning, but I had a little hesitation at the time.
, are all disrespectful to my status as the princess of Southern Chu."
She rubbed her brows and said, "Mother, I am the princess of Nan Chu. In the future, I will take over the position from the king of Nan Chu and be in charge of Nan Chu. The people of the country are tied to me. The Great Wei Dynasty is eyeing it. Sooner or later, there will be a war, whether it is Daliang or Daliang.
Either Nanchu or Nanchu must be fought. Do you think I have a choice? Compared with the overall situation of the world, what is the value of personal love between children? Compared with my status, sitting in Nanchu, in charge of the country, what is a mere love worth?
Compared with Zhou Gu, there are Qingyun Road, Kangzhuang smooth road, the prince's future assistant ministers, the famous ministers and generals in Daliang who will be famous throughout the ages, what is the value of a piece of love?"
She put down her hand and looked at the eldest lady, "Mother, choosing this thing is just a thought. It's useless for you to scold me now. To this day, I don't feel any regret."
The eldest lady's face softened and her tone softened, "I'm not scolding you. If you say it this way, your choice cannot be wrong. But as someone who has experienced it, I know that this is not how things look."
"If you think love is not worth mentioning, it is because it has not been lost." The eldest lady sighed, "Well, it is useless to say anything now. Since you have chosen Ye Guixue, you should stay away from Zhou Gu. Obviously
If you want to cut through the mess quickly, don’t be soft-hearted afterwards.”
Su Rong nodded and thought silently. She wanted to stay far away, but she didn't expect that once the incident happened, it wouldn't be far away. It's not easy to save someone from death, but it's easy to destroy someone's mind.
Very. She wants him to be good, but if he doesn't feel good...
