The king could not bear to grieve, but secretly saved his life in this dynasty.
Goodbye, and I hope the sisters will be happy.
When Xuan Ye returned to the palace, Liang Jiu Palace was already waiting.
"Liang Jiu Palace, how is the matter?" Xuan Ye asked hastily.
"When I returned to the emperor, everything was settled. This servant got Wang Siong to leave a letter saying that he had been dispirited and had run away from home, telling his family not to look for him. This servant sent the two of them out of the capital for a long time before returning to report." Liang Jiu Gong reported in a low voice, "They were also instructed not to contact their family for the rest of their lives, to completely conceal their names, and to not return to the capital."
"I can guarantee that no one will discover it?" Xuan Ye asked with worry.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This is something this subject did all by himself. No one else will know about it." Liang Jiu Gong hurriedly replied.
"It's been hard on you two. Both of you get rewards. This matter will be rotten to the core!" Xuan Ye nodded.
"Your majesty, your concubine has brought you a message." Liang Jiu Gong said in a low voice.
"Speak." Xuan Ye nodded.
"She said she thanks the Emperor for his grace. Long live and long live our Emperor! And please be kind to your concubines. " Liang Jiu looked up at Xuan Ye and took out a letter and a jade pendant from his sleeve, "This …" "She has entrusted a servant to Young Master Rong, and also a letter. Whether or not to hand this over to this servant, I do not dare to make the decision. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."
"Haha, what a pair of deeply beloved sisters." Xuan Ye laughed out loud as he picked up the letter and the jade pendant. The jade pendant was the one that Zhi Zhi had brought with him, and the contents of the letter made Xuan Ye smile.
Two days ago, Xuan Ye sent Liang Jiugong out of the palace in secret, and met Wang Jingzhi's cousin, Wang Sizong, and asked him if he was willing to leave the palace with Wang Jingzhi. Wang Sizong was very willing, so Xuan Ye arranged for Liang Jiu, the advisor, to secretly carry out the plan to rescue Wang Jingzhi from the palace.
First, the method of giving one's death was changed from hanged to poisoned wine because there had to be a choking mark on the neck. Then, after the poisoned wine closed her eyes, Wang Jingzhi would paint a paler dark makeup and exchange the poison for a fake death poison made from a golden flower. Because the matter of bestowing death was the responsibility of the chamber of honor, the advisory board arranged for Liang Jiugong to transport Wang Jingzhi out of the palace for the burning fire. Liang Jiugong would then transport him out of the palace and take the antidote for the fire.
"I must have done something good!" Xuan Ye said faintly.
"The Emperor is benevolent and the world is fortunate." The consultant replied softly.
"Is that true?" Xuan Ye laughed bitterly.
"Your Majesty, the misunderstanding between you and your concubine can now be resolved." Actually, the advisor knew that the emperor didn't intend to save the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that his concubine had violated the palace rules and personally respected his wife, the emperor would probably not have saved her. Of course, even if he knew in his heart, he still couldn't say it out loud.
"I won't see you, hmph!" Xuan Ye snorted softly. "You saw it yourself. Up till now, she has no intention of pleading for peace, nor has she come to show mercy to me. Don't tell me he wants me to lower my head first?"
Nodding his head, he softly said, "Sigh, it's all a misunderstanding. The concubine thought that you wouldn't save the concubine, so she came to such a misunderstanding. This servant heard that Master Rong didn't eat for one day after hearing that the concubine had been given to death, and feared that he wouldn't be able to take it anymore if he continued like this."
"Sigh!" "I really do owe her from my previous life. I think it's best that I hand over my power to her as her concubine tonight." Xuan Ye sighed lightly. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. If he hadn't eaten for a day, then if he had really killed Zhi Zun, Rong'er probably wouldn't be able to forgive him for the rest of his life.
In the palace, Rong'er felt as if he hadn't been here for a long time. He really didn't expect the emperor to turn over her cards again. Now that Zhizhi was dead, did the emperor forgive her? However, she couldn't face the emperor in her heart. She herself was very contradictory. If she continued to enjoy the emperor's warmth, she would be ashamed to face him.
"Chenqie kowtows to Your Majesty." Rong'er bowed towards Xuan Ye without any emotion.
"My concubine, do you blame me?" Xuan Ye sat on the side of the brick bed and said with a cold voice.
"Chenqie dares not." Rong'er replied in a low voice.
Xuan Ye heavily humphed. "You don't dare? I don't dare you to reject my guidance three times. "
"It's not that chenqie refuses, it's that chenqie's body is indeed not feeling well." Rong'er said softly.
"Rong'er, look up. I'm asking you a question." As he spoke, Rong'er slowly raised her head and looked at his face. Her heart couldn't help but be moved; she couldn't see him, she could only miss him. She looked at the scene before her and felt that he was far away.
"Is Wang Jingzhi that important to you? "She didn't even hesitate to lose my favor and offend me?" Xuan Ye asked slowly.
"Your majesty, you and Jing`er are both very important to chenqie. Chenqie is very greedy and hopes that your son won't die. Your majesty can also pamper your concubine forever, but …" 'Jing`er is dead. What chenqie didn't want to happen has already happened. Perhaps the Emperor's favor will end sooner or later … ' Your majesty, please forgive me. Your subject must properly reflect on her actions. " Rong'er replied softly.
"Ai!" Xuan Ye sighed helplessly and walked over to gently embrace Rong'er. "What nonsense are you saying? I don't think you're old. In my heart, you'll always be young."
"Your majesty." Hearing Xuan Ye's words and feeling Xuan Ye's warm embrace, the skin and flesh that he had not seen for a long time, became sensitive to his words and he could not help but tremble slightly.
"Rong'er, listen carefully to what I have to say …" Xuan Ye lightly smiled and held Rong'er's shoulder. He wanted to see the expression on Rong'er's face when he heard the news. "Wang Jingzhi, she's not dead."
Rong'er stared at Xuan Ye without any reaction. Xuan Ye frowned slightly and called out softly, "Rong'er …" After a long while, Rong'er seemed to have suddenly regained his senses and asked in a trembling voice that was filled with disbelief, "Your majesty, you …" You said, Su'er is not dead? This subject … Has chenqie heard wrongly? "
"Haha, no, you're sure you didn't hear wrong!" Xuan Ye laughed loudly as he nodded.
"But …" But she clearly said it was … Your Majesty, you … You really didn't lie to your concubine? " Rong'er still couldn't believe it.
"Sigh!" "I'm the emperor, how can I lie!" Xuan Ye shook his head and took out the letter and the jade pendant from his sleeve. She gave it to you. "
Rong'er trembled as he received the letter and the jade pendant. That's right, it was the jade pendant belonging to Jingzhi. He then opened the letter and saw that it was written in Jingzhi's hand.
Ronger:
It was hard to believe that the Emperor had helped me and my cousin, but it was true. When you unfolded the letter, we were already far from the capital. I told you before that my cousin and I yearned for a simple and peaceful life. Now, we have gone to look for it. Don't worry about me, I will be happy. If my intuition is correct, the Emperor cares about you, loves you, cherishes you, and continues to be the virtuous and courteous woman by the Emperor's side. I hope that you will be happy as well.
The Emperor let me go, but I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, so I hurriedly wrote this short letter. I am with my cousin now, so there is no need to think about other people anymore. This jade pendant is for you, consider it my last memorial gift, and also a blessing for you and the Emperor: A hundred years is good!
Goodbye, Rong'er, my good sister, I will miss you.
Wang Jingzhi
"It's Jing`er's calligraphy, your majesty …" Tears rolled down her face as she looked up at the smiling Xuan Ye. Rong'er emotionally whispered, "Thank you …"
Xuan Ye reached out a hand to gently wipe away Rong'er's tears. He looked at her sparkling eyes and gently said, "How can Zhen bear to make you sad?" "This matter has been kept a secret. Do not ever mention it to anyone. Now, go burn the letter."
Rong'er nodded with a smile and walked quickly to the table. After taking one last look at the letter, he gently lifted it to the candlestick. The fire soon engulfed the letter. Within the fiery light, Rong'er seemed to see the smiling face of Zhi Zhi. This was a smile she had never seen before. It wasn't a faint smile, but an incomparably brilliant smile … He held the jade pendant tightly to his chest. The last time she saw him, she knew that this piece of jade pendant had originally been taken away by the empress dowager, but before he was bestowed death, he begged the Imperial Concubine Yi to take it back.
She turned around to look at Xuan Ye. Through the thin layer of mist in her eyes, she saw Xuan Ye smiling warmly. Rong'er was really intoxicated by this smile …
