The wind got a little stronger, and Ruan Yuyi's clothes were a little thin after all, and she suddenly shivered. Ruan Zhuoxin noticed it, and opened his mouth to break the situation, "Why don't you go in first? It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with your majesty.
"
Mu Xiang introduced a few people into the hall and made tea, but there were no tea, fruits, snacks, etc.
When Jiang Huaiyang was holding the tea, he also thought of this. His hands hesitated slightly and he went to look for her, but she had entered the inner room.
He was a little confused. Now that Yu Huai had returned, what did he do to her in the past?
With this idea of tea, Ruan Zhuo Xinfang will share all the things he has learned during his years in Khitan.
It turned out that he was indeed seriously injured after blocking the sword for the young prince Jiang Huaiyang. The last thing he saw was that his eyes were full of scarlet and his ears were full of screams of pain.
He was brought back by the Khitans, but those barbarians had no good intentions to save him. Instead, they took a fancy to his abilities and wanted to persuade him to submit. At first, it was just some subordinates who came to spread the word.
Later, in order to prove that there were indeed benefits to surrendering to them and that Xu was confident that he would never return to Wu Kingdom, the fourth prince, Prince Jing, came to see him in person.
Because he once heard His Highness mention it, he knew something about Prince Jing's affairs. Prince Jing's mother-in-law had a prominent family background, Prince Jing was born into a noble family, and he was a high-spirited person.
Several royal brothers fought overtly and covertly, and the nine sons fought for the throne. This little prince seemed to stay away from the fight and focused on leading the troops to quell the war.
It was nothing at first, but one day, Jiang Huaiyang won a great victory in a battle and took back the city that had been annexed by the surrounding countries and belonged to Wu State. The late Emperor was very happy and rewarded many things and military power.
While Prince Jing was jealous, he suddenly realized that Jiang Huaiyang had not given up the fight, but was planning to start with military power.
Later, he accidentally learned that the third prince had raised private soldiers, and he guessed that his brother, the third prince, was planning to rebel, so he deliberately found an excuse not to go to the banquet, hoping to reap the benefits.
But despite all calculations, Jiang Huaiyang did not die from the poison, allowing this most inconspicuous little emperor brother to seize the opportunity. This matter still lingers in his heart.
——But what happened in Wu State, Ruan Zhuoxin could just piece together some fragments from the conversations of people around him, and he had a general understanding of the situation.
Probably because they still wanted to use him, the Khitan people never lacked him for food and clothing.
Later, seeing that he had no intention of escaping, he relaxed his vigilance and sent another maid to take care of him. At the same time, he also had other thoughts in mind - it would be best for this lieutenant to be paired with the maid.
It's more likely to sway him.
But their omission was also due to the maid. The maid was indeed interested in him. That's why she betrayed her country and helped Ruan Zhuoxin when he proposed to escape.
Thinking about the fact that he took advantage of this maid, Ruan Zhuoxin still felt guilty.
After listening, Jiang Huaiyang was silent for a while, and then personally poured some tea for him. The tea fell on the wall of the white jade cup, making a crisp sound.
During the narration, his mouth inevitably went dry, and most of his cup was down. When he saw Jiang Huaiyang adding tea to him, he moved his fingertips, but he didn't stop him after all.
"I have worked hard for you these years. It is because I have neglected to look for you that it is difficult for you to return home," Jiang Huaiyang said. "In the future, we will need the help of your love to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. You will definitely be indispensable for high officials and high salaries."
Ruan Zhuoxin thanked me in a low voice, but it was because of this cup of tea, "I don't want any high-ranking official or salary, I just ask your majesty to let my sister go."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Huaiyang's expression became obviously cold, and there seemed to be frost between his brows.
The palace attendants standing in the palace all held back their gazes, looked solemn and respectful, wishing they could disappear. Some who didn't know about the past between the two of them secretly thought that this time they were going to anger His Majesty. Who didn't know that His Majesty was interested in
Concubine Jin's favor is unparalleled in the harem.
"Let it go?"
Jiang Huaiyang sneered, "Why did Yu Huai say this?"
Ruan Zhuoxin stopped sitting, stood up, and knelt down in front of him in a formal manner. He no longer had the ease and ease in the conversation just now. He had laid the groundwork just to mention this matter to the new emperor.
He could no longer see his sister being wronged in the palace, even if it angered the new emperor.
"Whether Yi'er is living a happy life or not, Your Majesty's heart is like a clear mirror, so you don't know when you think about it," he said slowly, "There's no point in forcing her. It's better to let Yi'er leave the palace and find another good son-in-law."
Jiang Huaiyang clutched the jade cup tightly, his fingertips turned white, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, but his sullen complexion remained unchanged.
His eyes were deep and he said slowly, "Do you know that with just a word from me, no matchmaker in the world would dare to step into the door of your Ruan family?"
"But with just a word from Your Majesty, Yi'er won't have to worry about finding a good son-in-law!" Ruan Zhuoxin was used to being at odds with him, and now he was also sarcastically saying, "If Yi'er doesn't want to remarry, I'll do it for you."
So what if we raise her?”
The jade cup in the new emperor's hand was smashed at his feet, cracking with a sound, and the tea mixed with the fragments splashed out. Ruan Zhuoxin had a cold face and remained motionless.
Jiang Huaiyang let out a heavy breath. He didn't want to have a quarrel with Vice Admiral Yuan who had returned. He took a compromise approach, "It also depends on what Lingling wants." He didn't think she would reject him.
But after all, he had been in power for too long and looked at everything with a look of disdain. He took it for granted that she would not be willing to leave.
The soft curtain in the inner room was opened, and Ruan Yuyi stepped out.
"I want to leave with my brother."
Her voice was clearly soft, but there was a sense of determination, like a hammer hitting Jiang Huaiyang's heart. His cold mask was finally broken, and it was in pieces. He looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.
She had been listening in the inner room just now, and every word of their conversation fell into her ears.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have thought that her brother was almost killed because he blocked a sword for him. When they first met, the person he was remembering was his brother.
Everything seemed to be traceable: why he suddenly changed his attitude three times and why he didn't want to look into her eyes. She seemed to be trapped in a situation, and he was using his emotions to do some pitiful things to her.
alms.
Jiang Huaiyang stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of her. A shadow fell in front of her.
"What did you say?"
She lowered her eyes and repeated it seriously, "I said, I want to leave."
He was silent for a long time, which made her look up at him strangely. He laughed angrily, "I haven't treated you well enough? What else do you want from me?"
That's not the reason. She shook her head a few times.
She hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and she was almost at the point of life and death, but she wanted to understand something. Instead of asking for the love of a king, she should cherish the relatives in front of her and live a good life.
It was understandable that her brother saved him out of his duty as a lieutenant general. But there were too many things standing between them. She was tired and didn't want to wait for him to come through the difficult days and nights.
He has a different status from her, and he will never feel the same way as her.
