Jiang Yao was frightened when she thought of this, and nodded quickly: "I will obey the prince's arrangements."
"Okay, you can go back to Furongyuan and rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yao also knew that she had gotten into trouble and was very obedient. If it weren't for Tongxin Gu, the prince would never let her go like this. It would be better for her to be a bit more obedient now.
Jiang Yao quickly took the people away. Outside, Dongli brought people in to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ding is here?"
Pei Lin was a little impatient when he heard the woman now. He looked at Dongli and said, "What is she doing here?"
"Concubine Ding said to come and see the prince."
"If this king has anything good to see, let her go back."
After Pei Lin finished speaking, Feng Jing said, "Please invite her in."
She wanted to see how this person planned to plot against them.
Pei Lin looked at Feng Jing displeased: "Why did you ask her to come in?"
"You have to know clearly whether she is a human or a ghost. It is impossible not to meet her when she is in the palace. We have to find out her tricks and see why the old emperor gave her to the palace of Jin."
Pei Lin stopped talking, but his handsome face was full of frost, and he looked at the door with unhappy eyes.
Ding Rurong was quickly brought over. As soon as she arrived, she politely greeted Pei Lin and Feng Jing. Then she looked at Pei Lin with concern and said, "Is your prince okay?"
Although Pei Lin didn't like Ding Rurong, he thought that this girl was given a marriage by His Majesty, so he didn't show it in his expression: "I'm fine with you. As long as Concubine Jiang is fine, I will be fine."
After Pei Lin finished speaking, he looked at Ding Rong and said, "Okay, you can go back and rest."
Ding Rurong did not leave, but glanced at Pei Lin and Feng Jing, and then looked at the servants in the main hall.
Pei Lin and Feng Jing knew from the look on her face that she had something to say, so they waved their hands to the men waiting in the main hall to leave.
In the end, there were only three people in the main hall, Ding Rurong, Pei Lin and Feng Jing.
Pei Lin said: "Tell me."
Ding Rurong knelt down with a plop and spoke sincerely: "Your Majesty, Princess, I don't know why Your Majesty allowed me to enter Prince Jin's Mansion as a concubine, but I can promise the Prince and Princess that I will never betray the Prince and Princess.
"
"Today when I was getting into the sedan chair, my grandfather gave me a few special words, asking me to tell the prince that my Ding family will never plot against the prince."
Pei Lin and Feng Jing glanced at each other quickly, then turned to look at Ding Rong, who was looking down, wondering whether Ding Rong's words meant retreating in order to advance, or whether the Ding family really did not intend to obey the old emperor's orders and plot against him.
But just these few words are not enough to win their trust.
"Then I would like to ask, why did His Majesty give you the title of Concubine of Prince Jin?"
Ding Rurong's face stiffened slightly, and after a while she said: "Your Majesty, my mother was the last disciple accepted by Granny Yinhua from the Yin Shen Sect. At that time, she and Granny Yinhua were imprisoned in the prison, and were exchanged for death row by Your Majesty.
Your Majesty handed over Granny Yinhua and my mother to Prince An and his son."
"Later, my mother married my father according to the instructions of Prince An. At that time, my grandfather and my father did not know that my mother was the youngest disciple of Granny Yinhua. It was only later that my mother had a nightmare and it was revealed that my grandfather and father knew
It’s about this.”
"Our Ding family has also been involved in His Majesty's boat because of this matter. His Majesty pointed out that the concubine was brought into the Jin Palace as a side concubine. He probably thought that I was one of theirs. When the time came, they would instruct me to do something.
You must do it."
"But my grandfather told me that the Ding family is steadfast and will never do anything that violates morality. The prince is a meritorious minister of Dayan and should not be treated like this."
After Ding Rurong finished speaking, the main hall became quiet.
Pei Lin thought about Jiang Yao's confession to him before, and now Ding Rong did it again. Did she think he would be fooled?
Of course, he wouldn't deal with her when she didn't do anything, but it was impossible to make him believe her.
Pei Lin thought about it and looked at Ding Rong and said, "You were born to your mother. Is it unfilial to surrender your mother like this?"
Ding Rurong raised her eyebrows and smiled softly: "Actually, she is not my biological mother. I was born by a concubine in the house and was adopted under her name. She was injured because she practiced witchcraft with Granny Yinhua since she was a child.
She adopted me, but I was only fostered under her name. I grew up with my grandfather and grandmother."
Pei Lin and Feng Jing looked at Ding Rong in surprise. They didn't expect that Ding Rong was not the legitimate daughter of the Ding family, but just a registered legitimate daughter.
The Ding family kept this matter secret, but they did not believe Ding Rurong's words for the time being.
Pei Lin got another inspiration from Ding Rurong's words.
"Your mother is a disciple of Granny Yinhua, and she was ordered by King An to marry your father. Is there anyone like your mother in this court who comes from the Yinshen Cult and marries a minister in the court?"
This will never be the first, nor will it be the last.
Ding Rurong didn't know about this.
"I don't know who I am, my mother never mentioned this."
Pei Lin nodded slightly and said: "I already know what your Ding family means. If your Ding family really didn't do anything to harm me from beginning to end, I won't bear your grudge. That's all.
, go back and rest."
Ding Rurong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, said goodbye and left.
No matter what, she finally told King Jin of her grandfather's intention.
Ding Rurong knew that King Jin and Princess Jin didn't believe her or the Ding family at the moment, but they would eventually believe it.
The Ding family only stands neutral and does not support any faction, so as to protect members of the family. If the King of Jin ascends to the throne and becomes the ruler of Yan in the future, and the Ding family helps the emperor plot against him, they will definitely be liquidated in the future.
Ding Rurong thought about it and took the two maids to the courtyard where he lived.
In the main hall of Longhua Courtyard, Pei Lin looked at Feng Jing and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think of the Ding family and Ding Rurong?"
Feng Jing thought for a while: "What Ding Rong said may be true, and the Ding family may also surrender to us, but there is no chance that Ding Rurong played the same tricks as Concubine Jiang."
Be honest with them first, win their trust, and then make plans.
Pei Lin nodded slightly and said: "I will send people to keep an eye on her. If we find that she is acting in a shady manner, we will immediately find a way to get rid of her."
When he said the last sentence, his tone was indescribably cold.
Feng Jing stopped talking about Ding Rurong and asked Pei Lin about her next plan: "If nothing else, after what happened today, the old emperor will probably hate us to death. What are you going to do next?"
Pei Lin smiled faintly: "After a series of foreshadowings, the matter of my king being bullied by the royal family and the emperor's fear has penetrated into the hearts of the students and people of Dayan. Even if Princess Changle was killed in public by your majesty today, my king is still their sympathizer.
object."
"In the future, I will continue to look for opportunities to deal with him until he can't bear it anymore and kills me in anger. I will take this opportunity to leave the capital and return to Youzhou."
"I have been away from Youzhou for more than three years. If I don't return to Youzhou, I'm afraid Youzhou will be in chaos."
