Prosperous advisors

Chapter 514
"After returning to the capital, I used the merits and rewards of disaster relief to ask my father to marry Xi'er. Although my father was not satisfied with the Mei family's family background, I didn't object. After all...the father has many sons. Yes, this king is naturally not so important in his eyes that even the prince and concubine have to be carefully selected." Speaking of this, Rong Zhang glanced at Rong Jin with some regret.Although he hated Emperor Xiyue, as a son, it was inevitable that he would feel a little emotional for Emperor Xiyue's love for Rong Jin.Before what happened to Xi'er, Rong Zhang once thought that his father was an emotionless monster.It can be said that Emperor Xiyue only treated two people well in his life, one was Mei Xi'er and the other was Rong Jin.

"When the king and Xi'er got married, there happened to be turmoil in the west. Even if the father decided to go to the imperial conquest, the father didn't even drink Xi'er's tea, and he didn't see Xi'er. I stayed and supervised the country with my eldest brother. Those days... were the happiest days of my life."

Rong Zhang said with a dazed expression, "I will be my king for a while, I don't even know that I am chaotic, and my eyes are a little misty. I said softly: "Xi'er was born in a family, and she is also a rare talented woman. , Husband sings and wife follows. I even thought about...from now on, stay away from those court disputes, and be a couple of gods and gods with Xi'er from now on. But..."

Speaking of this, Rong Zhang's expression turned aside suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Xi'er is gentle and introverted by nature, and doesn't like to be lively. After getting married, she almost stays at home, so we have been married for two years. Due to various reasons, my father has never seen her. Xi'er didn't care either. Until...the winter of the second year, when his father went out of the palace in micro-clothes, he came to Xunwang Mansion on a whim. He happened to see Xi'er in the plum garden of Xunwang Mansion who brought this girl to fold plum blossoms. ..."

From then on, the days of the gods and couples in Xunwang Mansion no longer existed.At the beginning, Emperor Xiyue just asked his mother and concubine to recruit Xi'er into the palace from time to time, but by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.When his father asked him for Xi'er openly and aboveboard, something exploded in his mind for a moment.He really wanted to scold him for being shameless and for being unethical.But in the end, he didn't say anything...

Rong Zhang lowered his eyes, hiding the deep pain in his eyes.Perhaps, the greatest pain and resentment in his life was not that Emperor Xiyue took his wife away, but...he was powerless to let another man take his wife away from him.

He will never forget the look in Xi'er's eyes when she was taken away.

There was no emotion on Rong Jin's handsome face, he just looked at Rong Zhang indifferently and said, "And then? How did my mother and concubine die?"

Rong Zhang's complexion changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "After Xi'er entered the palace... naturally, she was loved by three thousand people. No one can imagine... that the cold-hearted and heartless emperor could dote on a woman so much. All of a sudden Everyone panicked. The queen, concubine De, all the concubines, dignitaries, censors, and ministers. Although the father concealed Xi'er's identity, and even staggered the time when Princess Xun died of illness, but... Xi'er doesn't like it any more It's lively, there are not a few people who have seen her in the capital? How can they hide it? These people dare not offend the emperor, and all the faults will be blamed on Xi'er. Moreover, Xi'er herself did not enter the palace voluntarily. After entering the palace, every step of the way was difficult, so naturally I was depressed. Later, because of her, my father almost killed all the censors and most of the dignitaries. If Xi'er hadn't suffered a serious illness because of this, I'm afraid it would have been more than that."

"Afterwards, Xi'er has you."

"Father told me that I originally had a younger sister who was a compatriot." Rong Jin said coldly.Even if he didn't know what happened in the past, he could tell that Rong Zhang was avoiding the important ones.In other words, like Emperor Xiyue, he only said things that he thought were important and right.

Rong Zhang's expression changed, his hand holding the teacup trembled, and he closed his eyes and said with some difficulty, "That's right. Xi'er gave birth to... a pair of twins. It's just..."

"It's just that she was refined into Shuyu Pill in the end, because the mother concubine was poisoned, and there is no cure. And that poison was poisoned by you." Rong Jin said.

"No!" Rong Zhang stood up abruptly, the teacup in front of him was knocked over and fell to a low level, and shattered into pieces with a bang.Rong Zhang glared at Rong Jin, and said loudly, "I didn't poison you! Also, that child... that child was born with congenital deficiencies, so he couldn't grow up..."

Rong Jin smiled coldly, "You didn't poison it? Then how did you know about that child and Shu Yudan? It seems that even the queen and other concubines in the palace don't know about it. The concubine mother refused to listen In your case, poison the emperor, so you want to poison him, don’t you? It’s best to poison the child in her belly too.”

"No!" Rong Zhang fell into the chair, his face was pale, and he murmured softly, "No... I never thought of killing Xi'er." How could he want to kill her?It was because he was sorry for her... He was not worthy of being a husband, he couldn't even protect his own wife.

Rong Jin sneered.

Mu Qingyi frowned slightly, looked at Rong Zhang hesitantly and said, "It seems that Concubine Shu died only two months earlier than Concubine Mei?" Moreover, after Concubine Shu's death, Concubine Shu's natal family was ransacked.It's just that the Emperor Xiyue killed too many people back then, and there were many people who ransacked and beheaded, so it didn't attract too many people's attention.

Rong Zhang's eyes shot at Mu Qingyi like a sharp sword, "Gu Liuyun, you are too smart, it's not a good thing."

Rong Jin glanced at Rong Zhang in displeasure, pondered over Mu Qingyi's words, and finally said in a deep voice after a while: "It's Concubine Shu's poison."

Mu Qingyi said softly: "At the beginning... the one who asked Concubine Mei to poison His Majesty should also be Concubine Shu?" It is to put the faces of their mother and child under their feet.Concubine Mei has a gentle and uncontested personality, so she should be quite respectful and courteous to Concubine Shu, a mother-in-law.If Concubine Shu hated and poisoned Emperor Xiyue, she might indeed do so for the sake of her son.After all, when Emperor Xiyue was alive, she was just a concubine who was ridiculed by the concubines in the harem, but if her son ascended the throne, she would be the empress dowager aloof.

It's just that I probably didn't expect that Concubine Mei would reject her. It's not incomprehensible that Concubine Shu poisoned Concubine Mei when she became angry from embarrassment, but... "With the protection of Concubine Mei, how could the poisoning succeed?"

Rong Zhang groaned in pain, "Xi'er has always been guilty of concubine mother, as long as concubine mother tells her she will obey. Sometimes concubine mother will ask her to chat with her, although... father is not happy, but if If Xi'er insists, Father will still let her go."

Mu Qingyi remained silent, Concubine Shu was injecting chronic poison, Concubine Mei was not a careless person, maybe she didn't realize it.She's just a weak woman who was born in a merchant, caught between her husband and the king, I'm afraid that living is more uncomfortable than dying.After hearing many people talk about Mei Xi'er, Mu Qingyi knew that she was not a woman who was strong enough to face all harm.
