The little eunuch walked out of the Heart Nurturing Palace, but after leaving the palace, he avoided the crowds and carefully walked into a small alley. After seven or eight twists and turns, he arrived in front of a mansion, which was precisely Nalan Rongyu's residence.
Nalan Rongyu had not been bestowed the title of king, so the mansion could not be compared to the palace, but after all, he was still a great general and was not considered shabby. However, the young eunuch still checked his surroundings carefully, and knocked on the secluded back door.
However, none of them noticed that the pair of eyes not far away had already taken in all that was happening.
"Is there something that has brought this eunuch here?" Although Nalan Rongyu pretended to be calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
The little eunuch bowed towards Nalan Rongyu, then whispered into his ear: "Eunuch Huang has asked me to come and notify prince, Geng Qing has already presented a document incriminating you, I hope that prince can make up his mind quickly."
Nalan Rongyu's heart made a "thump" sound. That group of fools, unable to even deal with a civil servant like Geng Qing, was simply a failure!
After sending off the young eunuch sent by Eunuch Huang, Nalan Rongyu returned to his room alone and angrily swept all the items on the table to the ground. A burst of sound of porcelain shattering frightened the young maid so much that she did not dare step forward.
Nalan Rongyu's heart was filled with regret. He did not expect that Geng Qing would be so lucky to actually let him escape. Not only did he manage to survive, he had also exposed himself.
Although he had not been pampered in the past few years, Nalan Rongyu still understood Nalan Jie's personality very well. As the royal brother of the crown prince, as long as he could do such an outrageous thing and keep his life, as long as he kept the position of emperor, he would definitely be able to escape calamity.
But in this way, his image in royal father's heart would be greatly reduced? He probably didn't have any destiny with this position.
This was also the reason why he could not sit still and wait for death to come. He had to do something, and upon thinking about it, Nalan Rongyu could no longer sit still.
When he heard that it was Nalan Rongyu who had come to visit, he could not help but frown. Where could there be a wall that could not let the wind out of the world? He had also heard that the Emperor had asked Geng Qing to secretly investigate the matter regarding the crown prince, and it was best to cut off all relations between them.
On the surface, it seemed like Vice Minister Zhang did not participate in any party battles, but was actually part of the crown prince's faction. Nalan Rongyu knew about this, if not, he would not have directly come to his residence to seek help at this time.
It was just that in the current situation, Vice Minister Zhang did not want to interfere, the Emperor did not like officials from the imperial court getting involved with political parties. Since the crown prince was not in the capital, he did not want to advance rashly and ruin himself for Nalan Rongyu.
Just as he was hesitating, a gentle voice travelled over. "Sixth Prince, it might be a good idea to earn merits with your services."
Following the voice, two people walked in. Vice Minister Zhang's son, as well as his newly wedded concubine, Yinlian. Although Yinlian was a concubine, she was very spoiled. Even Vice Minister Zhang sometimes listened to her opinions.
Nalan Rongyu looked for fame, and the charming look in his eyes immediately made the self-proclaimed extremely self-contained person to feel somewhat apprehensive.
Vice Minister Zhang was also stunned for a moment. He had put in a lot of effort for his crimes, what sort of merit did he have?
Yin Lian's limpid eyes turned slightly as she said in a gentle voice, "I heard that there was a water hazard in Binnan just now. If the Sixth Prince goes to provide relief, then the Emperor will be extremely happy …"
Yin Lian's words caused Nalan Rongyu's eyes to light up. To be surrounded by water along the south coast, this was simply a godsend opportunity! If he was able to handle this matter beautifully, he would be able to turn the tables around by then.
Plus, disaster relief was the easiest way to win over people's hearts. In the past, all of this was under the responsibility of the crown prince, but now that the crown prince had gone to the Southern Shrine, perhaps he really would have a chance?
Vice Minister Zhang narrowed his long and narrow eyes as he secretly calculated in his heart. In any case, this matter of going with the flow and pushing the boat forward, even if something happened, it would not be blamed on him. Thus, he agreed to Yin Lian's suggestion.
Regarding the matter of relief, there had to be someone else who would go over personally. Nalan Rongyu had accomplished a lot and could be considered to have some talent, maybe he could really do this thing well.
Even though the crown prince had made a mistake, he was still the crown prince after all. Since the emperor had not crippled the crown prince, his heart was definitely on the crown prince's side.
With Vice Minister Zhang's promise, Nalan Rongyu finally heaved a sigh of relief. On the morning of the second day, when the emperor asked about Binnan's situation, Nalan Rongyu took the initiative to request permission from him. With Vice Minister Zhang's help, Nalan Rongyu managed to get the job.
After the assembly, Nalan Rongyu gave Vice Minister Zhang a huge bow, and said excitedly: "This time, it was all thanks to Master Zhang's help."
Vice Minister Zhang had a solemn look on his face as he said: "No need to thank me. prince leading the troops to war has done a lot of miraculous things. I believe that we will definitely be able to do well in this time's disaster relief."
Nalan Rongyu nodded his head, because he still had a lot of things to prepare, he was busy with preparations, and bid farewell to Vice Minister Zhang quickly, before returning to his own residence.
Upon entering, Nalan Rongyu felt a burst of strange fragrance assail his nose, causing him to feel intoxicated from smelling it. He looked up to see a beautiful lady standing in the courtyard, although her face was covered by a light veil, but her alluring eyes were captivating.
Nalan Rongyu's heart moved, this woman … Wasn't he the one who spoke up for him in Vice Minister Zhang's residence?
"This little girl, YinLian, greets you, Sixth Prince." Yin Lian turned her body slightly towards Nalan Rongyu, her every move bringing about a sense of elegance, causing others to daydream about her.
How could Nalan Rongyu not understand Yin Lian's meaning? He quickly walked to his and asked: "Miss, why have you come?"
YinLian nodded and gave Nalan Rongyu a meaningful glance. Nalan Rongyu understood and thought that Vice Minister Zhang still had more orders for him. He quickly dismissed everyone and brought YinLian into the inner hall.
The two of them sat facing each other. Nalan Rongyu looked at Yin Lian's faintly discernable charming face, Yin Lian's eyes moved, and then only blinked slightly, causing Nalan Rongyu to feel that it was somewhat difficult for him to control himself, but when he thought about how Yin Lian was a person from Vice Minister Zhang's residence, he couldn't move. He could only hold the teacup on the table in annoyance and gulp down the teacup.
It was clearly a tea that he was used to drinking normally, but when he drank it today, the taste seemed to have a slight difference. However, Nalan Rongyu couldn't care less about this at the moment, and stupidly opened his mouth: "Miss Ying Lian, if you have something to say, just say it!"
"It's like this, Sixth Prince …"
Nalan Rongyu only saw Yin Lian's rosy little mouth open and close, his head also becoming slightly blurry, his eyes becoming more and more blurry, and finally, his body tilted, as he fell asleep.
