Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 478: Prince Ruyang: Does Chen Jiusi want to steal my daughter?
When it comes to meeting his father-in-law, Chen Jiusi feels a bit of a headache. After all, his father-in-law is not an ordinary person.

Prince Ruyang, a master on the Heavenly Ranking, the leader of the eighty-one prefectures in the five routes of Jiangnan, a real big boss.

Of course, if Prince Ruyang only had these titles, Chen Jiusi would not care too much about him. After all, he has seen all kinds of big men. He even surrounded the emperor. If the emperor had not been lucky enough to hide in the ancestral tower, he might have replaced the emperor of Daqian. So your high official position and status do not have much appeal to Chen Jie, and Chen Jie will not feel afraid of it.

But Prince Ruyang has another identity, that is, the princess's father.

This identity made Chen Jie feel taboo. After all, Chen Jie could treat the emperor and other masters on the Heavenly Ranking equally. If they were dissatisfied, Chen Jie dared to retort to them.

But Prince Ruyang had no choice. After all, he had to consider the face of his fiancée, the princess.

Chen Jie was a little worried about tomorrow. This old guy didn't give him face and made him lose face.

Of course Chen Jie was mentally prepared for this. After all, the man had raised the delicate flowers for eighteen years, and this time he was going to take away the pots and the flowers. He couldn't possibly not give him any face at all.

So tomorrow, even if Prince Ruyang is not on good terms with me, I will still tolerate him, give in to him, and respect him.

Even if it's for the princess's sake.

Zhao Ya clearly saw Chen Jie's mood. She sat on Chen Jie's lap, put her arms around Chen Jie's neck and said, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "There's nothing I can do, even though you and I truly love each other!"

The relationship between Chen Jie and Zhao Ya is enough for Chen Jie to make some concessions. When Zhao Ya was in the Five Poisons Mountain, she used her phoenix blood to save him. How could he forget this kindness?

impossible!

Thinking of the past, Chen Jie kissed Zhao Ya's forehead and said, "Go to sleep. I know what to do tomorrow."

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, you are so nice."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Compared to this, I prefer you to call me husband. You are so mean!"

Zhao Ya blushed after hearing this and said, "I like to hear it. I'll let you hear it when we get married!"

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Prince Ruyang woke up in the palace. Or rather, he did not sleep well that night. After he got up, a palace maid helped him wash up. After washing up, Prince Ruyang was about to say goodbye, but he was told by Eunuch Zhao that the emperor would see him off in person.

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang didn't know what to feel and could only wait. It was not until the end of the Chen hour that he was received by the emperor.

After Prince Ruyang finished his gesture, he met the emperor, who was having breakfast at the time. Seeing Prince Ruyang, he immediately gave him breakfast. Prince Ruyang just drank a small bowl of lotus seed soup and stopped eating. Seeing that Prince Ruyang was in no mood to eat, the emperor stood up and said to Prince Ruyang: "Brother, you must share my worries when you go to Jiangnan this time. Jiangnan is a tax-intensive area in Daqian, and there must be no problem with the money."

After hearing what the emperor said, Prince Ruyang said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as I am here, Jiangnan will be as strong as a rock."

The emperor nodded gently and said, "Very good, I trust you, brother."

Prince Ruyang clasped his fists and said, "I will die for your majesty."

The emperor heard this and said, "Ah, this is for me and for Daqian."

King Ruyang said: "For Daqian!"

The emperor took Prince Ruyang's hand and left his palace, saying, "My brother, what I said yesterday was not drunken talk. Daqian is still looking for talents of all kinds. If you are really capable, I am willing to confer a title and give you a title, and I am also willing to marry you."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The emperor said, "I know. In fact, I know everything. Is Princess Xiangning dating Chen Jiusi from Huangzhou Prefecture..."

Prince Ruyang was shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor even knew the name Chen Jiusi. His eyes were filled with shock. Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said, "You don't really think that I know nothing, do you?"

"My lord is guilty!"

Prince Ruyang immediately half-knelt on the ground, but he did not expect the emperor to say, "Please stand up, please stand up. What crime have you committed? This girl is too old to be kept. It is only natural that the princess has her own ideas. I do not care."

"But whether the princess can marry a true hero is what I care about, so my brother must convey my words."

"If Chen Jiusi really has the talent of a prince, I will definitely not be stingy with his rewards. I can give him the title of Earl, Marquis, Duke, or even King!"

"Your Majesty?"

The King of Ruyang was shocked by the emperor's magnanimity, but then he saw the emperor saying, "When Duke Zhou spits out food for his guests, the whole world will be at peace."

Prince Ruyang was shocked when he heard the emperor's words. When did the emperor become like this? He still wanted to be like Zhou Gong who spit out food to entertain his guests and hope that the people would be at peace with him. If he really had the heart of Zhou Gong who spit out food to entertain his guests, why didn't he govern the country properly for decades?

Instead, they handed over the state affairs to Tuotuo, who became too powerful to be removed. If there were not a living Buddha watching over the royal family, it would have been very difficult for him to turn things around this time.

But he quickly hid his gaze, lowered his head, and tried his best to look harmless.

At this time, the emperor had finished pretending to be a wise monarch. He looked at Prince Ruyang and said, "Brother, I will send you here. I hope you will not let me down!"

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely not let your Majesty down."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Zhao Daban."

"His Majesty."

Eunuch Zhao came over, and the emperor said, "See the prince off."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, please come this way! The young prince is waiting outside the palace."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang walked out directly. As he watched Prince Ruyang leave, a person slowly appeared beside the emperor, silently. The emperor took a look and said, "Master, how am I doing?"

The Living Buddha nodded and said, "Well done."

"Master, I still don't understand. Since Prince Ruyang has been tricked into the palace, Dadu, why don't we leave him in Dadu and send Dharmaba and his men to Jiangnan to take over the affairs? At the very least, let Dharmaba and his men take over half of Jiangnan. Wouldn't I be more at ease this way?"

In fact, Tutu's disturbance this time was really useful. It made the emperor aware of the crisis, because he suddenly realized that if all the princes in the world rebelled, he would have no good way to deal with it if he wanted to purge the emperor's side. Apart from relying on the living Buddha, he had no other way.

Therefore, he actually had some thoughts of reducing the power of the feudal lords in his heart.

However, this idea was quickly suppressed by him because it was not agreed by the Living Buddha. The reason given by the Living Buddha was.

The princes are already uneasy. If the emperor were to act recklessly at this time, the turmoil in the world would probably become even more rampant, which would be very bad for them.

Therefore, Prince Ruyang must be released. If Prince Ruyang returns to Jiangnan, the kings in that area will behave themselves. Moreover, Prince Ruyang and the King of Qi in the northwest are incompatible with each other. Release of Prince Ruyang can also split the vassal kings' team and create a confrontation between the north and the south.

This way the threat to Dadu will be much smaller.

The third is that Prince Ruyang is of royal origin and is truly loyal to the Daqian royal family, otherwise Tuotuo would not have been able to make Prince Ruyang tie himself up with just one sentence.

Therefore, it is very difficult to find such a capable, prestigious and loyal official to the court, so his role must be made use of.

The Living Buddha explained it to the emperor, who thought for a moment and said, "Well, although I don't understand these, as long as Master says so, it will definitely not harm me. I will do whatever Master says."

The emperor looked at the living Buddha and said, "Master, do you have anything else to do? Without me, I will return to the harem..."

Old Hama is very sensible. As soon as he became the prime minister, he came to report his plan to select a concubine. This really touched the emperor's heart. Our Emperor Shun has no other hobbies but beautiful women, and he can never love beautiful women enough.

The Living Buddha was afraid that the emperor's health would collapse because of this, so he found a Sutra of Joy in the Tantric Buddhist scriptures and gave it to the emperor. He originally wanted the emperor to replenish his yang with his yin, so that he could have a healthy body and live longer.

Who would have thought that the emperor would actually regard it as a book of evil kung fu that replenishes yin and yang, and his demand for things in this regard became even greater. He even regarded a Buddhist scripture as a cult kung fu.

The Living Buddha gave the emperor some advice, but the emperor didn't care. There was nothing the Living Buddha could do but give up.

Seeing the emperor going to the harem again, the Living Buddha felt helpless, and because of the agreement with the Taoist Zhang, he could not leave the capital city, so he could only be trapped in the Big Buddha Temple.

Besides, my body has not yet fully grown, so it is time for me to go into seclusion.

As the Living Buddha was thinking about this, he looked up and saw a white eagle flying in the sky. The Living Buddha jumped lightly onto the eagle's back and then went from the palace to the Big Buddha Temple.

At this time, people on the street had already gone out one after another. Suddenly, they heard an eagle's cry. Immediately, countless people looked up at the sky and saw a white eagle carrying the Living Buddha straight to the Big Buddha Temple.

When the people saw this, they immediately knelt down and then paid homage in the direction of the Living Buddha.

“Living Buddha bless you, Living Buddha bless you!”

The Living Buddha looked down at the people below, his face showing neither joy nor sadness, just like the Buddha statue in the temple.

In this way, the Living Buddha flew directly to the Big Buddha Temple.

Prince Ruyang, who had just left the palace, also looked at the Living Buddha in the air. His eyes condensed slightly. The Living Buddha seemed to have received something and looked at Prince Ruyang. Prince Ruyang then put his hands together and made a Buddhist salute.

The Living Buddha nodded slightly, then ignored him and headed straight towards the Big Buddha Temple.

Watching the Living Buddha leave, Prince Ruyang withdrew his gaze and went straight out of the palace. When he got outside the palace, he saw Wang Baobao already waiting there with a group of people.

When he saw King Ruyang, Wang Baobao went straight to him.

"Father!"

When he got there, Wang Baobao knelt on one knee and called out "Father". King Ruyang looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Kuokuo, you've worked hard."

Wang Baobao heard this and said, "I am so happy to share my father's worries!" Seeing Wang Baobao like this, King Ruyang helped him up and said, "I am sorry that you have been wronged these days. Shaharu, that rebellious son, must have made you suffer a lot!"

Shaharu is the prince of King Ruyang. After King Ruyang got into trouble this time, this prince Shaharu really indulged in the addiction of being a local emperor in Jiangnan. Not only did he not think about saving King Ruyang, he even eliminated dissidents in Jiangnan and arrested all those who were loyal to King Ruyang.

If Wang Baobao and Zhao Ya had not run fast, they would probably have become Shah Rukh's prisoners.

Wang Baobao looked at Prince Ruyang and found it difficult to say some things, but Prince Ruyang was not a fool, so how could he not know the twists and turns here? So he waved his sleeves and said, "Well, there is no need to say the rest. We will deal with him after we return to Jiangnan."

After saying this, Prince Ruyang turned his head and looked at Eunuch Zhao behind him and said, "Eunuch, I resign."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhao said, "Your Majesty, please take your time."

Prince Ruyang said: "Thank you for your care these past two days. If you have the opportunity to visit Jiangnan in the future, I promise not to disappoint you."

After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao said, "Okay, okay, since Your Majesty has said this, I will definitely bother you when I have the chance in the future."

After saying this, Wang Baobao brought a BMW to Prince Ruyang. Prince Ruyang bowed to Eunuch Zhao again, then mounted the horse and galloped out of the city.

After the two of them walked a long way, Wang Baobao asked, "Why is father being so polite to a eunuch?"

Prince Ruyang said: "Don't underestimate this eunuch. He is a close minister to the emperor. When Tuotuo was at his strongest, he had to be polite and call him Eunuch Zhao when he saw him. He is the emperor's external incarnation, and it is no loss to show respect to him."

After saying this, Prince Ruyang looked at Wang Baobao and asked, "Where is Yaya?"

Wang Baobao heard this and said, "Yaya left the city this morning and should be waiting for father at the Shili Pavilion outside the city."

After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "Then let's quickly join them."

Wang Baobao immediately agreed after hearing this, and then on the way, Prince Ruyang asked again: "By the way, are Chen Jiusi and Yaya together?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao immediately said, "Father, they are together."

Prince Ruyang remained silent. After a while, Wang Baobao said, "Father, I..."

Prince Ruyang looked at him and said, "You have already entered such a dangerous place like the Imperial Palace, why are you talking so fussy now? You have something to say."

Wang Baobao looked at King Ruyang and said, "Father, I want to say something on behalf of Chen Jiusi. This time, we saved father thanks to his efforts and strategies. If it weren't for him, Yaya and I would have no idea how to save father."

"So, father, about his relationship with Yaya, I think..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang snorted coldly and said, "Humph, what? Has this prince fallen to the point of using the girl's marriage to save his own life?"

"Did I beg him to save me?"

Prince Ruyang was unhappy. Wang Baobao's words made it seem as if Prince Ruyang had sold his daughter in exchange for his current freedom. This made the proud Prince Ruyang unbearable.

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao immediately said, "No, Father, that's not it. I mean..."

King Ruyang said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. Did Chen Jiusi teach you to say these words?"

Prince Ruyang frowned and looked at Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao said, "No, no, absolutely not. I just wrote this out of inspiration. No one taught me."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang said, "That's more like it. I'm telling you, Kuokuo, we must not use Yaya to exchange for our own interests. Otherwise, wouldn't that be like selling our children?"

Wang Baobao didn't dare to refute when he heard this, but he secretly complained in his heart, then why did you marry Yaya to the emperor as the queen? Wasn't that selling your children?
Of course Wang Baobao didn't dare to say it clearly, otherwise King Ruyang would definitely slap him in the face.

But then again, Prince Ruyang was qualified to say this. He did agree to marry the princess to the emperor, but in the end he still released Zhao Ya under tremendous pressure.

And he gave Chen Jiusi the opportunity to marry Zhao Ya. Based on this point alone, it can be said that Prince Ruyang's love for his daughter is deep enough, and there is no room for rebuttal.

Because this is an indisputable fact.

King Ruyang did it.

The group went straight out of the city. Along the way, the city defense army saw the royal flag raised by Prince Ruyang and did not stop them at all. Everyone knew that Prince Ruyang was now conferred the title of Prince Sanzhu and was the most popular person in the imperial city.

Who dares to stop the high-spirited King Ruyang at this time?
At this time, outside the Ten Mile Pavilion, Zhao Ya looked towards the capital city, eagerly waiting. She checked the time and said to Chen Jie, who was sitting nearby waiting to see his father-in-law, "Jiu Si, it's already Chen time, why hasn't father come out yet? Could it be that the emperor suddenly changed his mind and detained father again?"

Chen Jie comforted him at this time: "No."

Zhao Ya took a deep breath and said, "But why do I always feel like something big is going to happen? Is Jiu Si really going to get into trouble?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

Zhao Ya was silent for a while, then looked at Ah San who was waiting beside her and said, "Ah San, why don't you go outside the capital and take a look? If there is any problem, come back to me."

After hearing this, Ah San looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, I have been there twice, and the scouts we set up said that everything is normal. There is no news that the emperor is trying to keep the prince here. You can rest assured."

"Why don't you go and have a look."

After hearing this, Ah San said helplessly: "Well, okay, I'll go right away."

Just as Ah San was about to move, he suddenly saw Ah Da rushing back from the woods with a livid face, saying, "Oh no, something's happened!"

The princess was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Ah, what's wrong? Did the emperor change his mind?"

"No, we found it behind us. We found a large group of White Deer Army!"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya was stunned and said, "White Deer Army, the White Deer Army already knew that my father was released. Are they here to pick him up now?"

After hearing this, A Da Dao said: "No, it seems that they went to Beijing to support Tuotuo."

Zhao Ya was stunned when she heard this, and Chen Jie was also stunned when he heard this. My goodness, coming to support Tuotuo at this time, what kind of behavior is this?
Thinking about it, Chen Jie wanted to laugh. It was really 1949...

Thinking about it, Chen Jie looked at A Da Dao and asked, "Who is leading the team?"

Hearing this, Ah Da's face turned even darker and he said, "Yes, he is my master."

Ok?
After hearing this, everyone was stunned, Master Wuxiang!

At this time, everyone including Chen Jie was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Wuxiang, you are really amazing. You come to support Tuotuo at this time."

As he spoke, Chen Jie couldn't help but shook his head. How could he not understand Master Wuxiang's little thoughts? He came to support Tuotuo at this time. You have to know that the execution of Little Ming King happened yesterday.

Master Wuxiang deliberately came to Dadu a day later, obviously not wanting to waste the White Deer Army's manpower in this meaningless war.

After figuring this out, the smile on Chen Jie's face deepened. He really felt as if the abacus beads of Master Wuxiang were about to fall on his face at the Shili Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya, only to see that Zhao Ya also had a strange expression on her face. After all, it was indeed impossible to judge Master Wuxiang.

After all, after Shah Rukh seized the power in Jiangnan, this Master Wuxiang was the first to choose to surrender. At that time, Shah Rukh directly gave Master Wuxiang absolute power, made him his confidant, and entrusted him with important matters.

For example, such an important task as leading the White Deer Army north to support Tuotuo was entrusted to Master Wuxiang.

From this point of view, this Master Wuxiang is simply a die-hard traitor who needs to be liquidated. But when you look at his behavior of supporting Tuotuo, why does it feel like he is playing a reverse role?
At this time, Chen Jie looked at A Da Dao: "Did they find you?"

Ah Da heard this and said, "I found out. I didn't hide it from my master."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San and said, "Well, if that's the case, let's not hide anymore. Listen to me. When they catch up with us later, don't talk about what happened in the capital, let alone the fact that Lord Ruyang released them."

"Ah, what do you mean?"

After hearing this, Ah Da looked at Chen Jie. Ah Er and Ah San also looked at Chen Jie in confusion. Chen Jie looked at the three of them and said, "Your master betrayed the prince. Logically, he should be the first one to be punished when he returns."

"Do you admit it?"

Ah Da fell silent after hearing this. Ah San then said, "My master must have his own reasons, otherwise, he would not have betrayed the prince."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Ah San and said, "You are right. It is precisely because of this that we should give your master a chance. If he catches up with us later, we won't know what is going on in Dadu, so we can see what he is thinking."

"If you have your reasons, wait for the prince to come and we will ask for mercy from him if you really betrayed him."

"That can never be tolerated!"

After hearing what Chen Jie said, A Da, A Er, and A San all fell silent and looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said: "So how Master Wuxiang behaves this time depends on his own decision."

At this time, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, I will hide first. It will be difficult for me to hear Master Wuxiang's true words. You understand, don't you?"

Zhao Ya said: "I know, you go first."

With Chen Jie, a great master in the Melting Spirit Realm, here, Master Wuxiang will definitely not tell the truth. Only when Chen Jie leaves will Master Wuxiang tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie hid silently not far away, while Zhao Ya stayed here waiting.

After a long time, a rustling sound was heard in the woods, and then a man was seen walking out of the woods. It was Master Wuxiang, and he was not bringing anyone with him.

At this time, he saw the princess and said, "Princess, why are you here?"
