After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Chu Xuanchen reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "I feel your pain deeply.
I understand your lord's concerns.
But sir, if your child died tragically, are you just going to let it go?"
Jiang Ning said with a painful look on his face, "He is the emperor, what can a lower official do?
For the sake of the Jiang family and Mu Yu, I can only forget it."
"Have you never thought of avenging your son?
Do you think that if you take refuge in him, he will spare you?
You are so naive! Do you know that he has been asking people to arrest the former emperor's former ministers recently?
He was suspicious by nature and was afraid that his old ministers would have second thoughts about him, so he wanted to cut off the old ministers one by one.
When you asked him in public in the main hall whether he killed my parents, do you think he would really let you go?"
Speaking of this, Chu Xuanchen said again, "Who is Chu Yao?
I know better than you that he is cruel and vengeful by nature. He even dares to kill his own brother, let alone you?
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, a good minister chooses a master to work with, a wise person chooses good friends to make friends with, and a phoenix chooses a phoenix tree.
It's right that you want to save your life, but you also need to check whether the person you seek refuge in is a wise man.
Don't wait until his sword is swung at you before you regret it!"
Why doesn't Jiang Ning know these truths?
But he was afraid that Chu Xuanchen could not defeat Emperor Hongyuan, so he had to be timid and survive in the cracks.
He said: "Your Majesty is endowed with extraordinary talents. He is an unparalleled talent and he has served the country and the people. I really admire him.
It’s just that, Your Majesty, I no longer dare to interfere with the affairs of the government, let alone cause more trouble. Please forgive me and apologize!”
He reluctantly rejected Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen knew that he had concerns and did not force him, so he said: "Your Excellency is a talented person who governs the country, and I have always cherished talents.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with me today, I will come to visit you again!”
With that said, he walked out of the room.
"I respectfully send you off to the prince."
Jiang Ning quickly bowed to see him off.
.
After coming out of Jiang Mansion, Yun Ruoyue saw Chu Xuanchen's serious expression and asked him, "Is it because Jiang Ning doesn't agree?"
Chu Xuanchen reached out and touched her head, "It's okay, he has no one to rely on now and is in a difficult situation.
If Emperor Hongyuan presses harder, he will move closer to me sooner or later."
Yun Ruoyue nodded, "Well, I can also see that Mr. Jiang is not easy to win over.
He is not greedy for official position, nor is he greedy for money or beauty. Only kindness and kindness can impress such a person."
"But I have no grudges with him."
Chu Xuanchen said.
Even if there is, it is due to the friendship between his father and Jiang Ning back then and has nothing to do with him.
After so many years, I'm afraid it has faded away.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have any kindness. As long as the prince is sincere, I believe you will be able to impress him."
Yun Ruoyue Road.
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Well, I will not give up."
.
Two days later, Chu Xuanchen once again prepared generous gifts and brought Yun Ruoyue to Jiang Mansion.
This time, Jiang Ning received him quickly, but he still refused him politely.
Knowing that Chu Xuanchen and Jiang Ning were talking in the study, Yun Ruoyue, Feng'er and the others continued to visit the Jiang family's yard.
Not to mention, the Jiang family courtyard has a beautiful environment and is very quiet. It is a place of tranquility and tranquility.
While they were admiring flowers in the yard, Yun Ruoyue suddenly heard a violent cough.
She heard the sound coming from the wing opposite her. She walked over curiously and saw that the door of the wing was wide open.
I saw a thin old woman lying on the bed inside, and a maid standing in front of the bed, giving medicine to the old woman.
