Chapter 513
The eldest princess was shocked, "What does your majesty mean?"

Dongfang Xu lowered his head and said, "Father, don't lose the chain, your son's life is in your hands."

Dongfang Fei laughed and scolded angrily: "You know how to cause trouble for your father." Dongfang Xu raised his eyebrows and said: "Then daddy, do you want to do it? If you don't do it, pay it back to me, and I will pay it back to Your Majesty." Clapping Dongfang Xu's hand away, he tightly held the soldier talisman in his hand.Dongfang's family has been suppressed since his father's generation, but after being a general, who wouldn't want to gallop on the battlefield and make achievements?But the military exploits of the Dongfang family are too great, and if they want to end well, they have to behave with their tails between their legs.Dongfang Fei knew very well that this might be his only chance in this life.What's more, his son has already followed the new emperor, can he still demolish his son?

The eldest princess looked at her husband and son worriedly. Although she was the eldest princess of Xiyue, Emperor Xiyue didn't care about her son, let alone her daughter.Therefore, I really don't know much about Rong Jin, the younger brother that my father has always loved, "Xu'er..."

Dongfang Xu smiled and put his arms around his mother to comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, you can enjoy the blessings when your son has made great achievements. At that time, you will be the eldest princess of Xiyue."

Dongfangfei looked at his wife with a smile, and sighed softly: "Forget it, let him go. Xu'er's vision and courage are good." Dongfangfei didn't know how his son could tell that the Ninth Prince was different. But the fact now is that the Ninth Prince is the last to ascend to the throne of God, so there is no need to worry about everything else.The Dongfang family has been loyal to Xiyue for generations, and now they are naturally loyal to the new emperor who passed on the throne from the first emperor.

The Eldest Princess sighed, nodded and said: "Forget it, I don't understand these things either, as long as you father and son know it well."

Dongfang Xu smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, the child knows it well. Dad, Jianruiying... is there any problem?" Dongfang Fei gave him a hard look, and said: "What's the problem? It's okay to be a father though You have led the army, but you still have a few comrades, and there are several commanders in the Jianrui Battalion who were formerly under your grandfather... Presumably His Majesty knew this, so he let you go for your father, right?"

Dongfang Xu blinked, how could he know, probably... right?
Seeing his son's bewildered expression, Dongfang Fei turned his head in despair.He figured it out, this kid was simply a blind cat meeting a dead mouse this time.

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, Rong Jin, as the soon-to-be emperor, has already moved into the palace, and of course Mu Qingyi also stayed in the palace with him, and all the affairs of Fengtian Mansion were handed over to Buyutang .

In the middle of the night, the sound of mourning could still be faintly heard from the direction of Fengxian Hall. The late emperor had just passed away, and there were people guarding and weeping for the twelve hours of the day before the funeral.

Rong Jin took Mu Qingyi's hand and strolled through the dense palace, followed by the maids and eunuchs from a distance, and when he saw the two walking hand in hand, he dared to lower his head as if he didn't see anything.

Creaking—the heavy door was opened, and Mu Qingyi slightly frowned and looked at the dim candlelight inside. This is the prison of the clan mansion, which is specially used to detain the royal family members.But now, there is a former emperor's prince living here - the third prince Rongzhang.

Rong Jin took Mu Qingyi's hand and stepped into the cell, raised his hand and waved away the officials and jailers following behind.Although the prison in the Clan Mansion is a bit cold, it is far better than ordinary prison cells.Even if they make mistakes, these royal nobles are nobler than ordinary people.It is better to say that it is a simple room than a prison cell. There is no shortage of beds, tables and chairs, and there is even a small bookcase and some pens, inks, papers and inkstones.When they entered, Rong Zhang was sitting behind the desk practicing calligraphy. He raised his head when he heard footsteps, and looked at Rong Jin standing outside with a complicated expression.

"Are you here?" Rong Zhang put down his pen, looked at Rong Jin and said calmly.

As soon as Rong Jin raised his hand, the chain on the prison door snapped.Pushing open the door, Rong Jin pulled Mu Qingyi and walked in.

Rong Zhang looked at Rong Jin for a long time, followed his hand and looked at Mu Qingyi who was being held by him, and said, "This king underestimated you."

Rong Jin snorted lightly and said, "My lord said before, you don't need to be troublesome."

Rong Zhang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for this king, would you have found such a good opportunity to control the Shence Army? If there is no Wuji, Gu Liuyun will not be able to stop Nangongjue, right?" In the end, he Rong Jin and Mu Qingyi took advantage of it once.From the beginning to the end, Rong Jin never believed anything he said.

"What do you want to do now? Follow father's will and kill me...and then be your new emperor of Xiyue with peace of mind?" Rong Zhang looked at Rong Jin and raised his eyebrows.

Rong Jin curled his lips into a smile, "Isn't this your wish? You want this king to ascend the throne... Even if you die now, you should rest in peace, right?"

The expression on Rong Zhang's face froze.He wanted Rong Jin to succeed him on the basis that Rong Jin was his son. If it was a scam from beginning to end, wouldn't he be a joke?Rong Zhang stared closely at the young man in black in front of him, trying to find more similarities with himself from him.However, he found to his frustration that Rong Jin's appearance was more or less like Xi'er, but his expression and temperament were obviously more like his father who had hated him for 20 years.

After forgetting about Rong Jin for a long time in a daze, Rong Zhang finally slumped back into his chair, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I lost. You can kill or cut as you like."

Looking at the ten-year-old man in front of him, Mu Qingyi could only sigh inwardly.

Rong Jin snorted softly, and said: "This king is not interested in killing a useless person, you stay here honestly and don't cause trouble for this king, otherwise..." Rong Zhang looked at his flawless handsome face, hesitantly Said: "You...don't want to know what happened back then?"

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows, "You want to say that the king doesn't mind listening."

Mu Qingyi smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'll go out first, you two can talk slowly."

Turning around to leave, Rong Jin stretched out his hand to grab her, "Why is Qingqing leaving? Let's listen together."

Mu Qingyi looked at him helplessly: Do you think this is listening to a story?
This king thinks so.

Seeing Rong Jin pulling Mu Qingyi to sit down opposite him, with a look of intimacy, Rong Zhang frowned slightly, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do.He had no choice but to look down at the teacup in front of him.

After pondering for a long time, as if thinking about where to start, Rong Zhang said calmly after a long time: "Your mother was the daughter of the Mei family, the richest man in Xiyue at the time. If you don't, you won't become the prince's concubine. That year, I was ordered by my father to go to the disaster area to provide relief. When I passed by Pengzhou, I happened to meet the Mei family who was giving out porridge. At that time... your mother was wearing ordinary clothes, I personally gave porridge to the victims. I will never forget the smile on her face at that time..."
