It is impossible for Rong Xuan to plan so thoroughly, and there is another hidden reason in this matter.Liang Ji looked at the tears on Rong Yan's face, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe it for him, but when he remembered the guard behind him, he didn't move in the end, just said, if you don't go back, you will bear the charge of bullying the monarch and rebelling, and you can no longer get rid of it.I, I am not your Xu people anyway, and after leaving Xu Kingdom, this kind of crime has nothing to do with it.Rong Yan raised his eyes and saw the cold light in the hands of a few guards outside the guard, I don't know what he thought, he took a deep breath, Liang Ji, will you take me away?
Rong Yan's voice was very low, his eyes were filled with tears, and he stared at Liang Ji's face tightly, for fear of hearing the rejection from his mouth.He had never been like this before, he had always raised his voice and looked at Liang Ji with a little innate arrogance, and Liang Ji would agree to all his requests.His bright eyes were full of pleading.Liang Ji looked into his eyes, reached out to hold the hilt of the sword at his waist, and replied in a low but firm voice: I can't, Rongyan.The prince's rebellion is very involved, and I must take you back to investigate this matter clearly.That was the only time Liang Ji refused Rong Yan, he thought that he could protect Rong Yan, thought that he could solve the problem this time, but he never thought that they had already fallen into a well-arranged situation.And he used his calmness, self-control, and blind self-confidence to personally send Rong Yan to a point of no return.General Liang?
Liang Ji woke up from his memories, looked at the eyes that were obviously exactly the same, but completely different, and nodded: If His Highness has orders, Liang Ji can do it.Rong Yan looked at him motionlessly, for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly.I appreciate General Liang's kindness, and no matter what your considerations, I thank you for coming to deliver the message late at night.Rong Yan returned his hand, took the sleeve stove, and handed it to Liang Ji, since you know that this is our Wei people's business, don't stretch your hand so long.Liang Ji lowered his gaze, glanced at the sleeve stove, and then raised his eyes to look at Rong Yan again: It's just a sleeve stove, it was originally from King Ji's mansion, and His Royal Highness doesn't need to take it to heart.Oh, I see, then tomorrow I'm going to thank King Ji for his kindness.The hand stretched out in the air slowly retracted, Rong Yan put the sleeve stove back on the small table, picked up the hot ginger soup next to him, frowned and drank the remaining half bowl in one go, and then said: It's late at night, the general go back.Liang Ji glanced at the empty soup bowl and said to Rong Yan: Farewell.The window opened and closed, and Liang Ji quickly left, as if it had not been for the faint night breeze, as if he had never been there before.Rong Yan raised his hand to cover his eyes, let out a long sigh, then shook his head gently, blew sideways past the candle flame beside the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and forced himself to sleep.Chapter 21: Rong Yan struggled all night in dreams related to his past life.First of all, he dreamed of the firelight that was in the sky on the day he fled the imperial city, the roar of the rebels shook the sky, the palace people were screaming, he and Li Ye did not know how many people's blood was stained on their bodies, leaving behind the place where he grew up, his dear mother, and step by step from the place of death to a way of life.After that, Liang Ji began to appear in his dreams.First of all, he was sick in the post house alone, Liang Ji sent him a little warmth from the sky, and then the two gradually got acquainted, knowing each other and falling in love, Liang Ji did nothing all afternoon and stayed in the house to accompany him to read and write; He also rode out of the city and took him to the mountains to hunt and go to the river to fish; He also deliberately waited quietly at the street corner where Liang Ji would pass by when he was on duty; Or brave the wind and snow just to walk through the streets and alleys of Longcheng with Liang Ji.Later, he inexplicably became the mastermind of the assassination of Emperor Shouguang, and Liang Ji personally brought him back to the palace and was never heard from.He was locked up in a cold, inaccessible dormitory, interrogated over and over again, and his wrist broken alive.In the end, he had no choice but to drink poisoned wine and died in Liang Ji's arms.It's just a dream of Nan Ke, but it seems to have relived his previous life, so that when he woke up from the dream, Rong Yan was still in a trance.For a moment, he even wondered if he had really been reborn, and whether those memories with Liang Ji would be just a dream of his own.Those sweetness and warmth they have never had, they have never been just a strange relationship?
Son!
UBS came in with warm water and found that Rong Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, and couldn't help but be surprised, why did you look so bad, don't you really suffer from the cold yesterday, otherwise you will ask the steward to invite a doctor back?
It didn't matter, it was just a nightmare.Rong Yan took the cloth towel soaked in the warm water and wiped his face, completely withdrawing himself from the long dream, and then looked up and looked outside: Let people prepare the carriage and horses, and I will go out later.Still out of the house?
UBS hesitated, it was freezing on this cold day, you might as well rest in the house, and if you have something to tell others, you can do it.No one else can replace it.Rong Yan said lightly, I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness King Ji, you can first ask someone to send a letter of worship for me.UBS knew that his little boy had a good relationship with King Ji, and at this moment, looking at Rong Yan's face, he intuitively felt that he really had something important, and he didn't dare to ask again, so he obediently obeyed: Yes, son.Less than half an hour after the post was delivered, there was a hurried knock on the door, UBS went to open the door, and the little guy who had just gone to deliver the post rolled in in a panic.Rong Yan put down the porridge bowl in his hand and looked at him in surprise: I didn't go to send a prayer post, why did I panic like this?
Childe, the little guy stumbled and spoke, the villain and the villain did not do well, the worship post was not sent to the Ji Wangfu, but was silenced by Rong Yan for a while, I don't know what I thought, and laughed lightly: The people of the Prince's Mansion?
Yes, the little guy nodded hurriedly, and the villain was stopped by their people before he arrived at King Ji's mansion, and tore up the son's letter to His Royal Highness King Ji, and said that Rong Yan slowly drank a sip of porridge and tilted his head to look at him: His Royal Highness the Prince has something to bring to me?
Yes, Childe.As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom, and they said that it was given to you by His Royal Highness the Prince.UBS took the letter and handed it to Rong Yan, Rong Yan opened the letter, looked at the short line of words on it and fell silent for a moment, and nodded: Got it, you go down.The little guy was relieved that he was not reprimanded, and he saluted Rong Yan and retreated lightly.UBS closed the door and looked back to find Rong Yan still staring thoughtfully at the letter.In this Longcheng, there is really no secret that can be hidden.Rong Yan raised his eyes to UBS and spoke.UBS carefully looked at Rong Yan's face: Childe, are you still preparing the carriage?
Rong Yan gently crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it into the charcoal basin on the side: No need.When the paper ball met the charcoal fire, it quickly turned into a ball of ashes, Rong Yan stared at it for a while, and blinked slightly: I'll go out by myself later.The look on UBS's face was obviously not very agreeable, but he still said: Then I will go and prepare a thicker cloak for Childe.The New Year is approaching, the weather seems to be a little colder, Rong Yan wrapped in the heavy robe prepared by UBS and walked in the cold wind for a while, and felt the cold soak through the muscles and bones.Fortunately, the place he was going to was not too far, and he had not gone far from the south gate when he saw a pavilion that seemed to appear out of thin air in the middle of the wilderness.Several guards were guarding nearby, and Rong Yanfang was stopped as soon as he approached, and Gao Song, who was sitting crookedly in the pavilion, looked at him lazily, and raised his hand slightly: Let him in.The guards retreated, and Rong Yan slowly walked into the pavilion under Gao Song's gaze.Although Gao Song inexplicably chose such a place where the wind leaked everywhere and asked Rong Yan to meet, he didn't wronged himself at all.He was wearing a thick coat with a hood buttoned down on his head, revealing only a small half of his face, holding a sleeve stove in his hand, and two charcoal basins at his feet, one left and one right.On his other side, there was a small tandoor with a pot of wine heating on it.Gao Song watched Rong Yan approach thoughtfully, and said, "Why don't you let people prepare carriages and horses?"
Just walked alone?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked people to intercept my visit to His Royal Highness King Ji, and asked me to meet outside the city, thinking that he didn't want to be noticed.Rong Yan leaned on the pillar of the pavilion and slowly spoke, I was stared at every word and deed in Longcheng, it was not good to be too ostentatious.Even if you change into your night clothes and come with a hidden figure wearing the stars and the moon, you don't wait for dawn, and everyone who wants to know will know it.Gao Chung glanced at the tandoor, and it happened that the wine was just warm.Rong Yan approached, lifted the lid and sniffed gently: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so generous today, and has prepared such a mellow and good wine to entertain me.Gao Chung raised his chin and motioned for Rong Yan to sit down on the stone bench with thick cushions on the opposite side: You have also seen the world in the Wei Kingdom, and if you don't prepare something good, why are you embarrassed not to let you go to see Gao Chun but to come to see me?
Rong Yan Shi Ran sat down, and looked around, all of them were barren mountains piled with thick snow: I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would find a warmer place.I thought you'd ask the little guy about his whereabouts as soon as you sat down.Gao Song deigned to send a charcoal basin next to his feet towards Rong Yan.Rong Yan bowed slightly, stretched out his hand to the charcoal basin and roasted his hands, and then said: When I knew that His Highness would take people away last night, I was a little anxious.I just thought that he was young and had a bad personality, and he really accidentally offended His Highness, but now Rong Yan raised his head and looked at Gao Song quietly: Since His Highness already knows his identity, he will naturally not move him easily.Qi Ke is now lying dormant in Yizhou with heavy troops, Wei Guorongxuan wants to rely on him and is jealous, as for Xu Guo, even if His Royal Highness doesn't care about me, he doesn't want to offend Qi Ke casually.Gao Chung held his cheeks in his hand, looked at Rong Yan quietly for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look around, and said: Although this place is desolate, at least you don't have to worry about the ears of the wall.This person quietly changed the topic, Rong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded in agreement with his words: Also, if I had paid attention to this earlier, I wouldn't have to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.Gao Chun guards me like a thief, how can it be so easy to overhear you talking to people in his mansion.Gao Song stretched out his hand and poured a glass of wine for himself, took a sip, and pushed an empty cup in front of Rong Yan's eyes with his other hand, signaling him to take it easy: Originally, it was just that the queen mother asked me to send someone to find the imperial sister to return to the palace, and the next person inadvertently mentioned that you were talking to a medicine boy in the small garden.I was curious for a moment and asked people to check, but I didn't expect that guy with a big ghost to have a surprising identity.Rong Yan paused slightly as he reached out to take the wine glass, raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Gao Song's face.Gao Song glanced at him, suddenly sat up straight, kindly helped fill Rongyan's wine glass, and then said slowly: I thought I was busy eating, drinking, and enjoying myself every day, so I was surprised that I would pay attention to such a small thing?
Rong Yan reached out and took a small wine cup, took a sip gently, the warm wine slowly went down, the spicy taste spread in his mouth, and the originally cold body was a little warm.His Royal Highness seems to be cynical, but nothing has been left behind, otherwise how could he send someone to Ji Wang's Mansion to send a message of worship on my front foot, and stop someone on the back foot?
Rong Yan said slowly, if His Royal Highness really did what he said, the position of the crown prince should have been given up a long time ago.Aren't you the same?
As soon as I got the news that the palace had taken people away, Liang Ji hurriedly came to the door to report to you.Gao Chun said, he is really on Gao Chun's side all the time.Rong Yan clenched the cup in his hand, and then smiled lightly: The matter between General Liang and His Royal Highness King Ji has nothing to do with me.Your Highness only needs to know that Rong Yan never dares to despise you.Is it?
Gao Chung narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Rong Yan quietly, since this is the case, then why did you choose to befriend Gao Chun as soon as you arrived in Xu Kingdom?
Do you think that the main palace you want can't be given to you, or do you think that Gao Chun will definitely replace me in the future?
Rong Yan lowered his head and played with the wine cup in his hand, the affairs of the Wei delegation were in charge of His Royal Highness King Ji, so Rong Yan had a little intersection with him, how dare he say that he made friends on purpose?
Is it?
Gao Song shook the wine in the glass, and took another sip for a long time: I know that you went to great lengths to break away from Rong Xuan's control and come to Longcheng to seek assistance, so that you can regain control of the Wei dynasty in the future.However, my father has been in that position for a long time, and he has more worries, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Wei Dynasty before, we have taken advantage of a lot of advantages, how to say that greed is not enough to swallow elephants.So at the beginning, my father didn't want to get involved in your messy things, as long as you were your proton in peace, Rong Xuan would pay tribute on time every year, and he would be satisfied.Rong Yan was not surprised, nodded and said: It is not wrong for the saint to think so.Gao Chun drank the wine slowly and methodically, and continued: Gao Chun is the best at those false benevolence and filial piety, and rarely goes against my father's will in court affairs, but this time it is unusual, insisting on explaining the pros and cons to my father, and really moving his old man, so he promised to give you a little convenience to help you mess up the situation in Wei But did Gao Chun tell you, my father promised only this, whether you can sit back in that position depends on your own ability.Rong Yan smiled: Even if His Royal Highness King Ji didn't say it, I expected it.Gao Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at him: Gao Chun is very thoughtful, he seems to be helping you now, but in fact he has other plans.Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you think that has anything to do with me?
Rong Yan tilted his head, didn't you just say it, all I want is to get back everything that should belong to me.His Royal Highness King Ji is willing to help me, and I will accept it.It doesn't matter what he has in mind or what he plans to write in the future.I don't want to get involved in the internal affairs of your Xu Kingdom.So what if Hongu is willing to help you?
Gao Chung looked at Rong Yan motionlessly, this palace is the rightful prince.took someone related to me, and then asked me to this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, Rong Yan snorted softly, it really doesn't seem like he wants to help people, Your Highness.That little guy is a medicine boy in King Ji's Mansion, and he wants to treat that uncertain guy, and he has to go outside to dig medicinal herbs in the ice and snow.In my house, it is well fed and drunk, so you don't have to worry.If he wants to leave one day, this palace will naturally not stop him, just like you said, I don't want to offend Qi Ke.You should understand, I just don't want to leave this chip to Gao Chun.Gao Song said, as for asking you to come to the palace, didn't I prepare a good wine to entertain you?
As he spoke, he reached out and poured a glass of wine for Rong Yan: Bengong will not easily pour wine for others.Rong Yan stared at the wine in the cup for a long time, stretched out his hand and drank it all, and then said: Then how does His Highness plan to help me?
The corners of Gao Chung's lips slowly rose, and he suddenly said: How about this palace first help you to marry the royal sister and become a concubine?
Rong Yan lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak.Gao Song thought he was unwilling, and said: You also heard that day, my mother asked me to help the imperial sister choose a family in the court, because she didn't want my imperial sister to marry Gao Chun's brother-in-law.So I thought about it carefully in the court, some of them are too far apart in status, and some are also from Gao Chun's side, and there are some who are familiar with me, but I think Gao Chun will not let me get my wish.Thinking about it, only your identity and status match, and Gao Chun will also try his best to promote it.
