Prosperous advisors

Chapter 220
"Report to Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is asking to see you." The eunuch outside the door reported tremblingly.

"Let her go!" Murong Zhao was so angry just now, now that Hua Huang heard Concubine Rong came, he naturally didn't have a good face.Soon there was no sound outside the hall. The eunuch outside the Qinzheng Hall cautiously looked at Concubine Rong who was in front of her and said with a smile: "Concubine Rong, Your Majesty is in a bad mood, why don't you come back sometime?"

Of course Concubine Rong knew that Emperor Hua was in a bad mood, so she nodded her head reluctantly and said: "I know, you all take good care of His Majesty."

Turning to leave Qinzheng Hall, Concubine Rong turned to the Imperial Garden to go to the Mingfang Hall.Concubine Rong also knew Huahuang's attitude towards the Gu family's affairs, so she didn't understand why her son went crazy and used this incident to hit Murong Yu.If it works, it's okay, but if it doesn't, I'm afraid Zhao'er will have no room to stand up in the future.But... Fortunately, there is another Murong Xie who is standing up.Concubine Rong said some words of self-comfort in her heart.

As soon as he approached the Royal Garden, he saw Mu Qingyi coming towards him.Concubine Rong quickly adjusted her expression, and greeted her with a smile on her face, "Princess Mingze."

Mu Qingyi bowed profusely, "I've seen Concubine Rong." Concubine Rong hurriedly held her back and said, "Princess, don't be so polite, I'm just going to find the princess." Mu Qingyi blinked, Puzzled: "What's the matter, Ma'am?" Concubine Rong looked at Mu Qingyi carefully, before she sighed and said, "Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, does the princess know?"

Mu Qingyi smiled hesitantly, shook her head and said, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows, thinking about Princess Mingze's first arrival in the palace, although there are many maids and eunuchs in the Mingfang Pavilion, this princess doesn't seem to like getting close to others, so it is inevitable that she is not well informed.He hurriedly talked about what happened this morning in detail, and finally sighed: "That kid Zhao'er is really ignorant, and he has to mess with it. This Gu family..." Speaking of the Gu family Concubine Rong just let out a long sigh.

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty is worried about the Eighth Prince?"

Concubine Rong sighed: "Isn't it? I just went to ask to see His Majesty, and was driven back by His Majesty without even seeing anyone. I don't know that Your Majesty this time..."

Mu Qingyi said softly: "Your majesty is worrying too much. Your majesty is loving and magnanimous. How could you be angry with the eighth prince for this matter? Isn't the eighth prince investigating this matter because he is loyal to the country and wants to share his majesty's worries?" Rong The corner of the concubine's mouth twitched. She knew why Murong Zhao was investigating this, "But if it is found out that the Gu family is wronged, it will be detrimental to His Majesty's sageness."

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Why would Your Majesty care about this? No one is at fault, and there is nothing wrong with knowing a mistake. What's more, this matter...even if the Gu family is innocent, it's not His Majesty's fault. It's someone with a heart to deceive His Majesty." As a result, now that His Majesty has rehabilitated the Gu family, people in the world will only think that His Majesty acts in an upright manner, and if he knows his mistakes and can correct them, then he is a wise king."

Concubine Rong looked at Mu Qingyi fixedly, thinking about what she said, she was speechless for a while.After a long time, he sighed and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, can it be done halfway?" The matter has already started, so it can only continue.No matter what the final truth is after the investigation, it is not the fault of Murong Zhao and Murong Xie, they just care about the officials of Huaguo.But if they give up halfway, they will be suspected of sensationalism.What's more, this matter is doomed to cause His Majesty's displeasure, if you can't get some benefits from it, then it's really a bad move.

Mu Qingyi comforted her with a smile: "Your Majesty is a concubine in the palace, as long as you serve Your Majesty with peace of mind, others will naturally take care of things outside the palace. Your Majesty will definitely know the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty."

Concubine Rong nodded with a smile and said: "I know, I really said a few words to the princess, and if I have any questions, I will immediately answer them."

"Your Majesty is overrated."

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Hua stared at the black-clothed guard below and said indifferently: "Oh? Princess Mingze and Concubine Rong said that?" His Highness's man in black knelt on the ground respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Return to Your Majesty, that's right. I don't dare to miss a single word."

Hua Huang was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Go."

"Your subordinate will resign." The man in black quietly retreated, but Hua Huang still did not recover, he casually put the Langhao brush on the inkstone, and frowned in thought.In the past two days, the Gu family's case was uncovered again, which put a lot of pressure on Hua Huang.The reason why Emperor Hua was unable to act as arbitrary towards his subordinates as the Emperor Xiyue whom he envied was because he was somewhat concerned about his own reputation.After all, from the very beginning, there are still very few top emperors who have gone after the tyrant and the faint king.

In the past few days, secretly, Hua Huang almost wanted to strangle Murong Xie and Murong Zhao, the two sons who caused him trouble, so he might as well worry about the sixth child!But now, he had to deal with it.If it continues to develop, it will definitely be detrimental to his reputation if he, the emperor, ignores it or suppresses it all the time.

Thinking of what Mu Qingyi said to Concubine Rong, Emperor Hua squinted his eyes. As an emperor, he naturally knew what it means to choose the lesser of two evils.If so... Murong Yu's son would have to sacrifice.Hua Huang was very dissatisfied with Murong Yu during this time, so he naturally didn't feel too much guilt about sacrificing his son.He is the emperor, at least he can save his life, right?What's more... what happened back then was indeed done by Murong Yu, so it was not wronged him.But...if the Gu family is rehabilitated, Murongxi...

Thinking of this son who had been the prince for 20 years, Huahuang felt even more headache.If the Gu family becomes ordinary, will Murong Xi continue to take the position of King Ping or will he be reinstated as the prince?In the past two years, Emperor Hua's fear of Murong Xi is no longer as serious as before.Maybe it's because Murong Xi has been too pale and feeble in the past few years, and he has completely lost the vigor and excellence of the past.But because of what happened a few years ago, there was already a grudge in his heart, Hua Huang absolutely did not want Murong Xi to sit on the crown prince again.

"Tell me, how is Xi'er doing recently?" Hua Huang suddenly asked.

The chief eunuch standing not far behind him was stunned for a moment. He had been with Emperor Hua for decades, and it was ten years ago that Emperor Hua last called His Highness Prince Ping Xi'er.Could it be... His Royal Highness Prince Ping is going to return to favor again?After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to tell the truth, "I heard that His Highness Prince Ping is not in good health."

"Is your health not good?" Hua Huang has been concerned about whether his son has secretly done something he shouldn't have done in the past few years, so why would he pay attention to his health?What I can still remember is the appearance of Murong Xi when he was young, with a high level of charm, both civil and military, and was praised by the world as a royal model.Murong Xi didn't have to go to court on weekdays, and he might not be able to see Hua Huang once in three to five months, and occasionally seeing Hua Huang from a distance would only be due to depression or resentment in his heart.
