Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

The blood of the setting sun is even more red. This is the inner hall of the Wucheng government office. The vermilion mottled door is not closed tightly, revealing a thin crack. The evening sun squeezed in through the crack of the door and cast a straight shadow on the ground. It happened that Rong Che was standing here In terms of light and shadow, her appearance at this moment is strange and weird.

Rong Ling just looked at her without saying a word, resentful and angry, but helpless, and finally had to speak first, "Apologizing as soon as you come in for no reason, isn't it just giving people something for nothing."

Rong Che was silent, and the light and shadow gradually climbed down from her body with time, Rong Ling sighed and said, "Look at your armor, is there a clean place?" There was dried blood on her face, "Is there any injury? Are you going to stand like a statue and just stay still?" In the end, it was just supercilious.

"The Queen."

Rong Che's sudden opening made Rong Ling jump, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Rong Che said, "I was forced by the situation on the front line. When Chen Xuanyi persuaded Yu and Yun to surrender, he got my order to pardon the garrison of the two cities. I made the decision without permission and haven't asked Miss Huang to forgive me."

"There are no outsiders here, so don't be rigid with me." Rong Ling pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you don't persuade the rebel cavalry to surrender, they will surely flatten Wucheng and attack Nanyang directly, and you will not be punished for this matter. Yes?" Seeing that Rong Che had something to say, she spoke first, "I know you are worried about the empress, and I will report it after I go back. This is my idea."

When she said this, Rong Ling's eyes dimmed, and now she did not dare to gamble on His Majesty's thoughts, it would be better for her to bear it than to harm Rong Che. For the sake of love, this plan can be described as the best policy.

Rong Che was well aware of Rong Ling's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Rong Ling's changes after returning to the palace. She added, "Wei Changdong will bring them here later to plead guilty."

"Okay." Rong Ling looked at her. It was the first time she had seen Rong Che like this. The blood stains all over her body made her heroic. Like a little tabby cat." She was very close to her and raised her hand to scrape the bridge of her pretty nose, smiling happily.

Rong Che was stunned, and there was a bit of embarrassment on his face. Fortunately, the helmet was not removed to cover most of his expression, "Then Rong Che will take his leave first."

She walked to the door and listened to Rong Ling's instructions, "Remember to eat at my place later."

Gu Chengfeng had ordered someone to boil enough hot water for Rong Che to take a bath in. The bucket was full of hot water and the water vapor was still lingering with some floral fragrance. Rong Che sat in the wooden barrel to wash away his exhaustion.Even in such a private moment alone, she is still sitting upright as usual, and her gestures are just right, it doesn't look like a normal daughter's bath, but it seems to be a routine, well-organized.

Not long after she took a bath, Gu Chengfeng asked someone to come in to announce that Rong Che was wearing a blue shirt, and his slightly damp hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and the rest was scattered behind her like a waterfall.When Gu Chengfeng came in, she was wiping the streamer with a handkerchief. As the name suggests, the streamer was full of brilliance, illuminating the room brilliantly, and Rong Che's delicate and elegant movements made the picture very pleasing to the eye.

When Gu Chengfeng stood still and was about to salute, she heard her say, "Master Gu, you don't need to be too polite." Rong Che continued to wipe his hands, and wiped them carefully, "You came here for Liao Xifeng just now."

"I really can't hide anything from the princess." Gu Chengfeng said, "Forgive me for saying so boldly, Liao Xifeng relied on his clan to garrison Wucheng to suppress the government everywhere in order to show his prestige as a leader, that's all. , but before the rebels attacked, he deployed troops without authorization in order to make meritorious deeds. It is tolerable to ignore the officials of the government office, but Commander Chen tried to discuss countermeasures with him several times, but he refused all of them. If people stay in Wucheng, it will be a disaster."

From Liao Xifeng's words today, it can be seen that what Gu Chengfeng said is true, so she said, "After this battle, it can be seen that Wucheng is very important to the capital. I understand what you said in my heart and I will mention it to His Highness."

Gu Chengfeng could be said to be very happy and hurriedly bowed his body and saluted, "Your Majesty first thanked the princess on behalf of the people of Wucheng."

"Lord Gu, you are so polite." Rong Che said after wiping the blade of the sword and returning the light to the sheath, "Sure enough, my cousin did not misjudge the person, and Master Gu lived up to her expectations."

"I don't dare to be an official." Gu Chengfeng was very polite and didn't feel complacent and arrogant because of it, but said again, "I have always wanted to kneel down in person to thank Princess Anle, but I haven't found the opportunity. I personally came to the door to thank Princess Anle for her kindness."

"Master Gu's convenience in governing Wucheng is to repay my cousin." At this moment, Rong Ling's attendants came outside the door again.

Said, "The Princess can take care of it, Your Highness is waiting for the Princess to come and have dinner together."

Gu Chengfeng hurriedly apologized, "It was the lower officials who delayed the princess and made the princess wait for a long time and asked the princess to forgive her."

"No problem." Rong Che stretched his sleeves and walked beside Gu Chengfeng, followed Rong Ling's entourage to Rong Ling's small courtyard, and at this time Wei Changdong accompanied Shi Wenlong and Yunzhou first The defected deputy commander Xia Zhong pleaded guilty inside, while Rong Che was waiting ten feet away. She was tall and stagnant, looking indifferently at the few plantains in the courtyard.

About a stick of incense time, the door was opened from the inside, and Wei Changdong came out together with the two, but when he saw Rong Che's back, there was a smile on his face, and he called, "Ache."

Rong Che turned around and asked, "Can the Jiangbei camp be properly arranged?"

He turned to solemnly, "You rest at ease and I will take care of the camp."

"Che'er." Rong Ling heard Wei Changdong's call and came out of the room. Seeing that the two were chatting vigorously, she couldn't help interrupting, "What are you doing in the future?"

Regarding Rong Ling's intimacy, Rong Che has always observed etiquette, "Returning to Your Highness, I just chatted with Mr. Gu about the fortification of Wucheng."

Rong Ling's face was a little cold, but she still said, "Come in quickly, the food is getting cold."

Rong Che knows that if he treats each other with courtesy again, he is afraid that Rong Ling will have a fit, so he just walks over in silence. Rong Ling sees that she is good-hearted and doesn't care too much about her. If she cares about everything, she doesn't know how much sulk she will have. If you accept her, you won't forget the previous suspicions. It's good to get used to it after getting along with her for a long time.

.

Although Wu Cheng was in the middle of a war, he didn't dare to slack off on the princess's meal. It's reassuring."

"Wan Guang in Yunzhou is dead and can be used as an apology. As for Shi Wenlong, who is waiting to put down the rebellion, he will be transferred back to the Ministry of War to be a clerk. After all, if he hadn't defected in today's battle, the front line on the north bank may not be able to hold on."

Rong Ling pondered for a moment, then Fang said, "It's up to you." There was a smile in her agile eyes, "You are afraid that I will chill the hearts of the soldiers by asking questions after autumn."

Rong Che ate without saying a word, and Rong Ling ate with her with a smile on his lips. After the meal, someone took down the dishes and presented a jade cup for both of them to rinse their mouths. Rong Che got up and saluted, " Sister Huang, it's getting late and I should go back to the camp."

Rong Ling raised her brows lightly and said slowly, "Just now I heard clearly that Wei Changdong said that there is him in the camp to make you feel at ease." She paused and continued, "Besides, there are men in the camp. It’s inconvenient, tomorrow you can get up earlier and go later.”

Rong Che said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

"Go, go back and rest early and don't read those military books and strategies. The rebels flee south and we will attack sooner or later. Then there will be fierce battles. If you don't rest well, how can you have the energy to line up your troops? I will listen to Gu Cheng Feng said that you are a god in your use of soldiers today." She laughed again, "Remember to have dinner with me before leaving tomorrow morning, go back."

After listening to Rong Ling's instruction, Rong Che bowed respectfully and said, "Rong Che leaves."

Rong Che went back to the bedroom and sat quietly in front of the desk. She did not touch the military books and strategies and just sat there. There seemed to be a vast ocean without wind and waves in her eyes. The four candles lit up the room in a drowsy state. Thinking about the conversation with Wei Guogong that day and seeing off Rong Cheng's long pavilion, she felt a sense of desolation in the vicissitudes of life, and she began to miss the long river sunset and the roaring wind and sand in southern Xinjiang.

The next day, Rong Che finished his sword practice and changed his clothes before going to have dinner with Rong Ling. Not long after sitting down, Zhao Shouyi's voice came from outside the door. disturbed."

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is the news from Nanyang City."

Rong Ling's eyes turned to Rong Che, and at the same time Rong Che was also looking at her, she said, "Bring it in."

Zhao Shouyi knelt in front of Rong Che holding a three-fold white paper in both hands, "Reporting to Your Highness, the person who sent the message said that he was delayed because of the heavy fog yesterday and found His Highness this morning."

"You step back first." Rong Ling unfolded the letter and read a few words, her face changed again and again in an instant, her whole body was like a cage of cold smoke and cold light burst out from her eyes, she slapped the table so hard that the dishes rattled Bounced, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Cheng actually hid such an important matter from me."

Rong Che already had [-]% guesses in his heart, and asked, "But something happened to Changning Palace?"

"look by youself."

Because Zhu Heng's son was arrested in Dali Temple, he finally found out the existence of Rong Cunshan by following the clues, and somehow Pei Qingyang asked His Majesty for the order to manage the case. He used this incident to not only search the Changning Palace, but also confuse the public in front of the Queen. , And secretly used tricks to hinder King Changning's request to face Shengfu Chen.

Rong Cunshan was not arrested in Yecheng Temple, that day when Rong Cheng and Bai Qingtong paid homage to the princess and returned to the palace, King Changning secretly sent someone to send Rong Cunshan out of Nanyang City, even so, he was still arrested by Jing Zhaoyin Come on, relying on the well-known relationship between Rong Cunshan and King Chang Ning, Pei Qingyang's search of the palace can be regarded as targeted, and those who want to help are powerless.

The waves in Rong Che's eyes fluctuated violently, and she also threw the paper heavily on the ground, "Pei Qingyang, damn it."

Rong Ling knew that she must be furious at this moment, so she didn't add insult to injury at this moment, but Rong Che was always a self-restrained person, and she recovered from her gaffe in an instant. plead."

"If Rong Cunshan is really the orphan of the former prince, then King Changning will have a relationship with the rebel party. Even if he never knew about it, His Majesty will not let him go." The affection of the emperor's family is only used when you have never threatened me. Yes, it is not a problem to turn against each other and disown relatives, which can be found everywhere in the past and present.

"Sister Huang, don't forget that Chang Ning Wang Gui also asked His Majesty to adopt his adopted son for the prince, so in the end, His Majesty is also an insider who should be guilty of the same crime."

"Che'er, don't get carried away." Rong Ling was startled when she heard her words, her face sullen, "You must remember not to say these words in front of His Majesty."

"Emperor Sister Zeng Dao Rong's family is only closest to my cousin. Now that my cousin is in trouble, please ask Huang Sister to lend a helping hand."

Rong Ling said helplessly, "Che'er, did I ever say that I would not save Ah Cheng? How could I just sit idly by regarding Ah Cheng's life and death, but you must not be reckless, and don't let me fail to save Ah Cheng again. you."

Rong Che also knew that at this moment he lost his composure and stood up and knelt on the ground, speaking sincerely, "Rong Che contradicted Huang Jie in a moment of impatience and asked Huang Jie to punish her."

"I don't have the mood to punish you now, why don't you get up quickly and think about what to do with me now?" Rong Ling said again, "The war here is so tight that King Chang Ning can't ignore it, the only plan now is for me to go back first Make a plan."

"Sister Huang, go back at ease, Rong Che will definitely live up to her trust."

"This is the soldier talisman for all the battalions north of Dongjiang." Rong Ling took the soldier talisman and handed it to Rong Che, "Be careful yourself."

"Emperor Sister." Rong Che said, "Rong Che offends me again, there is no mother-daughter relationship between monarchs and ministers, and Emperor Sister must also remember."

Rong Ling's heart tightened and her eyes suddenly dimmed. She gradually realized that Rong Che's words were true after returning to the palace. She said, "I will leave immediately without delay. You don't have to stay here and go back to the Jiangbei camp." .”

"Rong Che leaves."

The weather in Wucheng is much hotter than that in Nanyang City. In Nanyang City at night, there is a slight night breeze that sweeps away the earlier heat. Yu Haichao is pacing anxiously in Pei Xian's house at this moment, blaming himself, "I should have thought of this a long time ago. The relationship between Rong Cunshan and King Changning, as well as Wu Xu, how could he be caught so quickly this time, what should I do? If I could have informed the princess earlier, I would have been prepared. Now that the eldest princess and Qingping princess are both leading the army, what should I do?"

Pei Xian remained silent without saying a word, Yu Haichao said to himself, "Although Rong Cunshan is the orphan of the former prince, the prince adopted him for the sake of saving the princess, and the whole palace knows how the prince treats him. How can you know that he is a member of the rebel party if you are not close?"

"And Your Majesty." He suddenly lowered his voice, "How could Your Majesty raid the palace just by listening to Pei Qingyang's one-sided words, and imprison the prince's family of more than a hundred people in the palace without regard for the face of the clan? That's all, Your Majesty still thinks about it Let’s go hunting in the Huluo paddock, delaying this matter again and again, the longer this matter is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the palace.”

Still hearing nothing, Pei Xian stared down the stairs and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so Yu Haichao stopped and walked in front of him, saying, "Boheng, you should say something."

Pei Xian slowly raised his eyes, and his calm tone was full of grief and regret, "I interceded with several adults on behalf of the prince, but His Majesty not only refused, but also reprimanded us in court for harboring evil intentions and covering up rebellious parties." He Sighing, he said again, "Your Majesty is not blinded by others, but he just took the opportunity to get rid of King Chang Ning."

Yu Haichao was shocked, his face full of surprise and hesitation, "Hush your voice." Seeing that Pei Xian didn't seem to be joking, his face was full of solemnity, "Boheng, you have something to rely on when you say these words."

"The orphan of the former prince and the rebel party can't be relied on? I'm afraid that the whole Changning Palace will not escape this disaster."

"What can the princess do?"

"His Highness should do his best to save him." Having said that, he added after a pause, "If His Majesty is determined to kill, His Highness may not be able to recover."

Yu Haichao was really frightened, and the once magnificent Changning Palace turned into a passing cloud in an instant, he felt a sense of sadness from the tip of his heart, he said, "Your Majesty is leaving for Huluo Paddock tomorrow, I hope the prince can save the disaster. "

Outside the door, I suddenly heard the urgent shouts of my confidantes, "Your Excellency is not well. Your Excellency took Zhi Jinwei to Yecheng Temple."

The lingering voice outside the door was still in Pei Xian, so he said to Hai Chao, "Hurry up and go to Yecheng Temple, I'll go to Changning Palace and tell the princess."

"Wait a minute." Yu Haichao said, "You will harm the princess if you tell the princess."

"No. If there is something wrong with Rong Cunshan, it means death without proof will harm the palace."

"Then how do you know that he won't frame the palace."

Pei Xian only said, "You listen to me, go quickly."

Seeing that he was so sure, Yu Haichao didn’t doubt him, so he hurriedly led his people to Yecheng Temple. Pei Xian rode a fast horse to the Changning Palace. Hai Chao said that there is no way to return to heaven, but he still hopes that the Changning Palace will be safe.
