Chapter 74: Jinyutai 22
Murong Yexuan heard that Murong Qiankun had no intention of making peace with the Yao clan, and was "broken" by another city, and he even wrote a letter and sent it to the palace to ask for support.
Murong Qiankun took a look and called his confidants to discuss. The condition became more serious that night, and the imperial doctor also ran several times.
When it was dawn, he repelled everyone and called Murong Li in. He changed his clothes and sat on the couch solemnly. His move not only conceded defeat to the Yao family, but also lost his daughter, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Murong Li entered the room and saw many ministers leaving at the door, she was a little puzzled.
Murong Qiankun pointed to the seat and said in a harmonious voice, "Sit down first, Eunuch An, and serve tea to the princess."
Murong Li sat down in a daze, holding the teacup, her uneasiness even worse, "Is your health better today?"
Murong Qiankun nodded, chatted casually with Murong Li, and asked her how she was used to living in the palace and what she needed to arrange for the winter. With a casual look, he waited until the end to speak: "I told you a few days ago about choosing a husband, and the decision has already been reached."
Murong Li thumped in her heart, stared at Murong Qiankun with wide eyes, and quickly said: "Didn't the royal father say...Isn't it in a hurry?"
"I changed my mind." Murong Qiankun's voice became much deeper and he gave An Zhongdao a wink.
An Zhongdao grasped the decree on the table and walked in front of Murong Li. Murong Li pursed her lips and knelt down in a panic. He heard his decree, and heard "Make Murongli holy Princess Kang, marrying the eldest prince of the Yao clan", she suddenly raised her head, her face full of disbelief.
It was like a blast of thunder exploded above her head, she couldn't hear any sound for a moment, and even her breathing stopped. Only the words "marry the eldest prince of the Yao clan" echoed in his mind.
She listened to An Zhongdao in a daze, but did not accept the order, and looked at Murong Qiankun with a gloomy expression, "Father, I will not marry!"
"It's not up to you." Murong Qiankun didn't look directly at Murong Li, he coughed a few times: "cough cough cough... I'm tired, you go down first."
"I don't seek glory and wealth, I just want a life of peace and quiet. You promised me back then that you would not force me to do anything!" Murong Li's long eyelashes trembled, and tears fell from her eyes. "Father, you are the king of a country, how can you go back on your word!"
Someone came to pull Murongli.
"You are a princess, so what if you make some sacrifices for the country? Even if you marry into the Yao family, you will not suffer any grievances." Murong Qiankun patted the table and stood up, "Since you were born in Royal, you should understand what your mission is."
disgust.
"I'd rather not be a princess!"
Murong Qiankun was laughed at by her, and ordered people: "Bring her back to Huayi Palace, watch carefully and observe the rules, not allowed to come out, let alone meet any outsiders!"
Murong Ji had guessed this matter when the emperor declared his confidant to enter the palace.
Murongji sat in the hall, waiting for Chen Rong to come, and straight to the point: "Does the national teacher know that the Yao clan disturbed my frontier this time?"
Chen Rong nodded: "Although I was grounded, I still heard a little."
Seeing her appearance, Murongji knew that she didn't know the secrets of the palace, and put down the teacup in her hand, "Now the peace talks have been settled, although the other party doesn't ask much, but we To agree to a peace deal is to admit defeat."
Chen Rong just listened, not knowing what he was here for.
Murongji observed Chen Rong's expression and sighed softly: "It's just that I pity the little sister, and she is so old to be with the Yao family. The Yao people are cunning and vicious. I'm afraid it won't be a good time to go..."
Chen Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at Murongji in shock, "His Royal Highness said, "Having a relationship?"
Murong Ji nodded: "I came to you this time for this matter, you are Li'er's grand master, can you persuade the royal father to relax a little and take his life back."
Chen Rong pursed her lips, confused, and clenched her hands slowly. She originally thought that Murong Li and his relatives had everything after Murong Yexuan seized the throne, so she would do everything possible to prevent him from ascending the throne, but this time it was ahead of schedule.
—The only variable is Yu Yao.
Chen Rong's eyes were cold, when she knew that Yu Yao was reborn, she should not have left her life!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me." Chen Rong lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, saluted, and pretended to be helpless, "What should I do, please ask the prince to make it clear."
Murong Ji smiled. He originally said that Murong Li was Chen Rong's weakness, but he was not very sure, and now it seems that it is true. It's really much easier for someone with weakness to control.
"Naturally I can't just sit back and ignore this matter." Murongji said after a pause, "The Yao family has never asked for a relationship, as far as I know, this is what the third brother means. It's up to the third brother, he and the Yao clan don't understand now, and he has the place to turn around."
Chen Rong took a breath, Murongji was implying that she was going to target Murong Yexuan? I'm afraid she can no longer watch the fire from the other side.
She suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, she didn't speak for a long time, and only smiled bitterly after a long time, "This minister is now suspicious of His Majesty, and he has no power, so he can't fight against the Third Prince."
"Only...only accept fate."
Murongji frowned, but she didn't expect Chen Rong to be such a soft persimmon, so she shook her head and shook her sleeves away.
Chen Rong returned to the room in a daze, and ordered people to inquire about the news in the palace. People were sent out to inquire all night, but there was no news from the palace.
Chen Rong sat at the table, staring at a lonely lamp for a long night, with a frosty complexion.
The housekeeper came to persuade: "Sir, you didn't get a drop of water yesterday. Eat something early in the morning and have a good rest?"
Chen Rong closed her sore eyes and pursed her lips: "Is there any news?"
The housekeeper sighed: "The princess is imprisoned, and the news of Yihua Palace is blocked, so I can't find out."
After the housekeeper went down, Chen Rong called his Anbu again. Tell them to inquire about the frontier, and make sure to understand the whole thing.
She calmed down, took out the paper on which she had written the plan, and began to correct it.
Seeing that she is serious and efficient, the system doesn't care about some of the plans that were ruthless before, and can't help sighing: "The bad guys are really forced out."
Chen Rong snorted: "Lend me any door you want."
"You have to endure, a good plan cannot fail."
Chen Rong nodded, she naturally understands these truths, if she loses, in the future, it will be all human beings and me being fish.
After being imprisoned, Murong Li went on a hunger strike to resist.
"Princess, you have to take care of your body." Aunt Jinxiu looked distressed, "If you don't want to drink medicine, you need to eat something."
"May..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear, you all go out!"
Mother Jinxiu quietly retreated and sent someone to tell Murong Qiankun.
Murong Qiankun treats Murong Li very well on weekdays, but he is extremely firm on this matter. After all, it involves state affairs, and family affairs are not that important.
The sun sets.
Murong Li covered her stomach and curled up on the bed, the sky was getting dark, and the candle light flickered faintly.
She eats a lot on weekdays. Although she was hungry when she was a child, she has not tried not to eat for a long time, let alone on a hunger strike.
She sighed and knocked her little face on her chin, looking pitiful.
"Button"
The window was knocked on, and then it was pushed open with a squeak. The wind blew in and she shivered, and looked over vigilantly.
"Who!"
"Shh." Chen Rong folded in from behind the curtain and gave her a silent gesture, "It's me."
Murong Li blinked her red eyes, pursed her mouth, and threw herself out of bed and hugged Chen Rong, crying softly, "Father, let me kiss."
"I already know." Chen Rong raised her hand and stroked her back, with a slight pain in her heart, pushed away Murongli and took out a paper bag from her arms, opened it, "I knew you must be crying and bringing you something to eat."
The fragrance filled the air, and the tender roast chicken made Murong Li swallow her saliva, hunger made her reach out, but reason made her shake her head, "No, no, I'm on a hunger strike. , how can I eat..."
Chen Rong pulled her to the table, let her sit down, and put down the food, "Don't be arrogant, if you starve to death, you won't be able to wait for your father to change his mind." She Seeing that Murong Li was barefoot, she went to get her shoes and squatted down.
Murong Li hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."
But Chen Rong had already picked up her feet and put her shoes in. Murong Li blushed, "I, I'm not a child anymore, I can put on my own shoes."
Chen Rong raised her head and glared at her, and said angrily: "If you were really mature, you wouldn't do things like a hunger strike that a fool would do."
Murong Li felt a little guilty, and said aggrieved: "I have no choice, I don't want to marry someone else." When Chen Rong stood up, he took her hand.
Chen Rong helplessly sat down beside her and patted the back of her hand: "I will find a way."
Murong Li nodded solemnly, wiped her tears, and pulled out a pale smile, "I believe in you."
Chen Rong looked at Murong Li's face and sighed in her heart: "Eat while it's hot, don't do stupid things again."
Murong Li nodded: "Yes."
on one side."
Murong Li vaguely said: "Of course I know, you said that you will not leave me no matter what."
Chen Rong's sadness was dissipated, and she poured a cup of tea for her: "Don't be choked when you eat so quickly."
Murong Li hurriedly took the tea, and was choked and coughed. Chen Rong quickly patted her on the back and blamed: "Don't worry."
Murong Li looked at Chen Rong aggrievedly, "I've been hungry for a day, and it's all because of the Yao clan that makes me worry." She sighed: "I am so Good-looking people must not be cheap to outsiders, they can only be masters."
Murong Li hummed and washed her face, walked over to see that Chen Rong was still sitting on the chair, she faced her, put her hands on her shoulders, lowered her head and wanted to kiss Chen Rong Allow.
Chen Rong smiled and raised her head to let Murong Li kiss her, then looked up at her, "When will you know what restraint is?"
Murong Li said with a smile: "Teacher is too beautiful, I can't help it."
Chen Rong has seen many sweet mouths, and Murong Li is the sweetest.
Chen Rong returned from the palace to the villa, and before sitting on the hot stool, he received the imperial decree of Murong Qiankun's call.
"It looks like he's going to beat me." Chen Rong stood up with dark circles under his eyes.
It's not too early to reach the palace.
Murong Qiankun sat on the upper seat, Chen Rong stood at the bottom, the empty hall was a little dark and quiet, only An Zhongdao and a palace maid served.
Chen Rong was silent, waiting for Murong Qiankun to speak.
Chen Rong pursed her lips, folded her hands in a salute, and lowered her head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I can't share your worries for Your Majesty, and I'm really scared."
"It's been a while since you've been in the DPRK, and it's rare to be safe and secure. I should give you some awards." Murong Qiankun laughed and waved his hand toward An Zhongdao, " Bring people up."
Chen Rong frowned, not understanding what Murong Qiankun wanted to do. But a moment later, when she saw the woman who served her in the restaurant last time being brought up, she instantly understood everything.
"An Lan has seen Master Guo Shi." The woman saluted with a slender posture.
"Your Majesty is this?" Chen Rong looked at Murong Qiankun with a smile and deliberately asked one more question.
He smiled, but he paused and changed the subject, "Now that Li'er wants to get married and is busy learning etiquette, you shouldn't see it often."
Murong Qiankun nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go on."
He knew that Chen Rong would have opinions in his heart, but the only influence was that he completely gave up Chen Rong as a chess piece.
Chen Rong stepped back, An Lan followed her.
The sun outside is very good, but there is no warmth on Chen Rong's body. The brows condensed with coldness.
"Sir, do I want to come with you?" An Lan stood very close and spoke with only two voices.
An Lan was originally from Chen Rong. Unexpectedly, he was brought into the palace by the emperor to reward Chen Rong. This kind of operation is really confusing.
"Naturally." Chen Rong took a breath, thinking of the matter with the relatives, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "It just so happens that I have other things that I need you to do."
An Lan was stunned for a moment, there are not many places where she needs to be used on weekdays. When she shook her head, Chen Rong had already walked a long way, so she quickly chased after her, "Sir, wait for me."
And this scene reached Murong Li's ears, and the taste changed again.
Aunt Jinxiu reprimanded: "What nonsense!"
The maid shuddered, hurriedly saluted and ran out.
"Father gave Chen Rong a woman?" Murong Li's face was full of sarcasm, her eyes were flushed, she took a few breaths to calm down, "Father is trying to make me give up, But I won't let him succeed..."
Murong Li took a few steps in a vain step, clenched her teeth and grabbed the teapot on the table and slammed it to the ground, with a "smack-" sound, it was broken.
"Why, why must it be me?!"
"Princess, Princess, calm down." Mammy Jinxiu and the maids knelt down in fright.
Murong Li covered her face to cover the tears on her face, squatted on the ground, there are thousands of ways to solve it, but must she marry away? She was not reconciled, she was angry, thinking so, she stood up and ran out of the door.
"What are you doing, stop the princess."
Yihua Hall is a mess.
No one dared to do anything to Murong Li. She ran all the way to the main hall and wanted to go in to see Murong Qiankun, but was stopped.
An Zhongdao stood at the door expressionlessly: "Princess, go back, Your Majesty is resting."
Murong Li didn't believe it, she knew that Murong Qiankun just refused to see her, so she simply pulled up her skirt and knelt down outside the door, "I beg the royal father to see me!"
An Zhongdao's face finally became a little moved, and he hurried to help Murong Li, but it was unsuccessful, "Why are you so troubled?"
.
"Father." She bit her lip: "My son knows that there is no room for manoeuvre in the matter of marriage, I just want...can it be a little later..."
An Zhongdao shook his head and sighed.
Murong Qiankun listened to the voice inside, looking a little tired, someone wanted to persuade him, but he raised his hand, "You don't want to mention this matter."
"Yes."
She raised her head and looked at the closed door, frowning with a deep disappointment on her face.
The only thing that was quiet was the wind.
"Princess, go back, Your Majesty will not see you." An Zhongdao came to persuade again.
Murong Li just shook her head, unmoved.
She once thought she was very lucky, but now it seems that she is not at all, the emperor is only the emperor after all, and will never be her father... And Chen Rong, her mere idle official, faced with The power of the emperor is also powerless, right?
She always knew that her fate was not in her hands, but she didn't expect this day to come so early.
The setting sun was swallowed by the distant mountains, and the last afterglow was annihilated.
"The princess fainted!" A maid exclaimed.
Someone came to lift them up and send them to the Yihua Hall, and the emperor also hurriedly announced the imperial doctor to rectify.
Murong Qiankun stood at the door, supported by the attendants, with a sad look on her brows, "I didn't expect her to be so obsessed with Chen Rong, if she doesn't completely break her mind, I'm afraid it will last a long time. calamity."
Murong Qiankun had an idea in his heart and sighed: "I remember, the youngest daughter of the Song family is not yet married?"
An Zhongdao hesitated: "Yes, but..." He bite the bullet and said: "The national teacher is a woman after all."
Murong Qiankun sneered, what he is doing now is really absurd, but isn't this the most convenient way? Soon, sacrifice a Murong Li to give him some time.
—This time, he will take care of those restless people, and never have future troubles.
