Prosperous advisors

Chapter 549 Rong Xuan’s Allegiance (3)
"Fourth brother." The princes looked at Rong Xuan and the others who had gone away, with bitter and embarrassing expressions.From the very beginning, they didn't pay much attention to Rong Jin, and even regarded Rong Jin's retreat several times as weakness and incompetence.Now that he has completely offended him, he only sees the strength of the other party, but it is too late to regret it.

"Second brother has good eyesight." The fifth prince sighed.Rong Xuan, who was originally one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, thought that he had been stepped on to the bottom, but who would have thought that he would climb up again with the help of the new emperor.Although he lost the throne, the edict of the first emperor had already told everyone that their struggle was meaningless.But now, it is foreseeable that Rong Xuan will inevitably become the most talkable prince among all the princes. If Rong Xuan handles it well, he may even have more rights than when Emperor Xiyue was in power.After all, 20 years after Emperor Xiyue reigned, the Nangong family had been left idle.

Rong Yan sighed and said: "Not everyone can have his good luck, if there is no Nangong family...if it's people like us, His Majesty might still be in the way."

From the very beginning, what Rong Jin wanted to win over was not Rong Xuan himself, nor Zhuang Wangfu, but the Nangong family behind Zhuang Wangfu.It's just that the relationship between Nangong's family and Prince Zhuang's Mansion is too close and they don't want to split it. Rong Jin decided to take the second place and start with Prince Zhuang's Mansion. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

In Gu's study

After the girl who brought the tea backed out, Mu Qingyi smiled and said to Rong Xuan and the others: "The humble house is simple, but the tea is not bad, the prince might as well try it." Although Rong Xuan has been more outsiders since he was poisoned She was on guard, but she didn't suspect that Mu Qingyi would poison the tea. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, raising her eyebrows in surprise: "This doesn't seem to be Xiyue tea. But the taste doesn't need Xiyue tea at all. The best tribute tea is worse, and it even has a different taste."

Mu Qingyi smiled faintly: "My elder brother came back from the land of Nanyi and happened to bring some local tea. I heard that His Highness King Zhuang is also a tea lover, so why don't you bring some back later."

Rong Xuan naturally knew that Gu Xiuting was in the imperial city.If in the past when Emperor Xiyue was still there, Mr. Xiuting was once famous in Huaguo and assisted the prince of Huaguo. Such a character Rong Xuan would have to fight for it, but now he has given up his desire to win the throne. It faded a lot.A little more leisurely, he just smiled and said: "Mr. Xiuting is famous far and wide. It would be a blessing for me to meet you. Your Majesty ascends the throne... I wonder if Mr. Xiuting will attend the enthronement ceremony?"

Mu Qingyi nodded and said, "It's natural."

Rong Xuan laughed and said: "I have admired Mr. Xiuting's demeanor for a long time, so we must have a drink together." Mu Qingyi said with a smile: "Prince Zhuang is here in person, and I should have introduced him to my elder brother, but my elder brother went out to play in the city this morning. Please forgive me."

Naturally, Rong Xuan would not blame him, and he did not come here specially to see Gu Xiuting.He just smiled and said, "So, it's a bit regrettable."

"I don't know... What advice does His Highness King Zhuang have?" Seeing Rong Xuan's hesitant expression, Mu Qingyi directly changed the topic to the serious business.Rong Xuan glanced at Rong Yang who was sitting next to him, Rong Yang understood, and immediately stood up, "I heard that the Gu mansion is picturesque and has the characteristics of the Hua Kingdom. I wonder if Xiao Wang can appreciate it?"

Mu Qingyi smiled and recruited the steward, asking him to take Rong Yang out.Only Rong Xuan and Nangong Yimu Qingyi were left in the study.Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows, and said curiously: "What is it that even the Prince of An County can't know about it?" Rong Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Although Yang'er is much older than Xiang Gu, if you talk about knowledge and resourcefulness It's a world of difference from Gu Xiang. His temperament is not calm enough, and it's better not to know some things, so as not to be used by others without knowing it."

Mu Qingyi frowned, staring at Rong Xuan fixedly, guessing in her heart what exactly he wanted to say.After thinking about it again, he got a bit of a bottom line, and the smile on his face faded, and he said with a slight smile: "Prince Zhuang, please tell me, I will listen carefully."

Rong Xuan frowned, stared at Mu Qingyi's indifferent expression, and asked after a while: "Someone told this king that the martial arts of the ninth brother will never be inferior to General Nangong?"

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said with a faint smile, "This is... what General Nangong said? General Nangong has met countless people in the battlefield, and it must be a great honor for His Majesty to be praised by General Jinkou." Denied, But he didn't deny it either, Rong Xuan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.Staring at Mu Qingyi, he said, "Speaking of it... Ever since the ninth younger brother came to the throne, this king has always felt familiar. Black clothes, wielding knives, world-class martial arts, and unruly temperament... Does Gu Xiang know Mr. Yunyin?"

Mu Qingyi sighed softly, not too surprised that Rong Xuan guessed Rong Jin's identity.After all, as long as someone who knows Rong Jin's martial arts is strong and has seen both of them at the same time, it is actually easy to connect Rong Jin and Yun Yin.The reason why no one has ever doubted it is that everything is based on the fact that Yun Yin's martial arts are superb, and Rong Jin has never practiced martial arts and is weak.Once this understanding is broken, there are basically no secrets left.

"If it's just that, the king shouldn't have asked more. But... there is one thing that the king has to ask. If the king remembers correctly, at the beginning... when the elder brother mourned the death of Prince Gong, the ninth brother It's also in Pengcheng!" This is the key to everything, if Yun Yin is just Yun Yin, if the Ninth Prince is just the Ninth Prince, then no matter what Rong Jin is hiding, Rong Xuan won't bother.However, if Rong Jin is Yun Yin, then what happened in Pengcheng at the beginning was caused by their greed, or was it calculated by his good ninth brother?
Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and sighed slightly, "Of course the prince's memory is not wrong."

Rong Xuan said in a deep voice: "Then... Please tell me, Mr. Gu, what happened to Prince Gong Gong's death back then!" Rong Huang died unexpectedly, and the balance of the court was broken. Criticizing each other is inextricably linked, Duan Wang Rongyan took advantage of the situation and entered.The ups and downs in the capital for the past six months were due to Rong Huang's death in the first place, but it was Rong Jin who benefited in the end.Even if the first emperor passed on the throne, if the eldest son is still alive, the new emperor will find it difficult to deal with himself.If the ninth brother had already calculated all these half a year ago... Rong Xuan couldn't help shivering, what the hell is this?

"Gu Xiang, this king... just wants to know the truth."

"Since Second Brother wants to know, why don't you ask me directly?" Rong Jin's voice sounded faintly outside the door.Rong Xuan was startled at first, but soon relaxed again, stood up and said, "I've met Your Majesty." The door of the study was open, he and Nan Gongyi were both martial arts practitioners, but no one found out what Rong Jin was going to do. When did it appear.With such a huge gap in strength, Rong Xuan directly gave up the idea of ​​fighting against it. In this study, no matter what Rong Jin wanted to do, they would not stop him. Even so, why waste effort?
