The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 684 Resisting the Order (2)
"It's nothing interesting, but now everyone says they are orthodox, and I really don't know who to believe!" Hao Ren laughed lightly, "Master Ruan, we can't meddle in the affairs of the royal family, the world is too chaotic nowadays , I don’t have any big ambitions to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, now I just want to be a little man, guard my home, and live in peace and stability!”

Ruan Ji paused for a moment, and suddenly had nothing to say.

If it was someone else, Ruan Ji would definitely argue with reason, but now he was facing Hao Ren, so Ruan Ji couldn't say something.

The current emperor hates Hao Ren for killing his father and taking his mother. What kind of stand does he have for Hao Ren to be loyal to the emperor and love this country?

Hao Ren slowly curled his lips and sneered.

Ruan Ji left the yamen, holding the unread imperial edict in his hand.

"Master, what should we do now?" Hai Guang asked in a low voice.

"Go home first!" Ruan Ji whispered.

Hai Guang had no choice but to comply.

Ruan Manor, Mrs. Ruan heard that Ruan Ji had returned to the inner city, and she had brought Ruan Xiang and a group of servants to meet him at the door. Seeing Ruan Ji coming on horseback, the two couldn't hold back their joy, and hurried forward to greet him.

Zhan Yi and Hua Pozi also followed behind.

Ruan Ji got off his horse, picked up Ruan Xiang who came up to meet him, weighed his weight, and said with a smile: "Good boy, he's taller and heavier again!"

Mrs. Ruan hurriedly asked Ruan Ji to put Ruan Xiang down, and couldn't help complaining: "How many times have I told you that Xiang'er has grown up, and you still hug him so that people can see him, what does he look like?"

Ruan Ji held Mrs. Ruan's hand, "You nagged me as soon as I came back, aren't you afraid that I won't come back?"

Mrs. Ruan was startled, and squeezed Ruan Ji's hand, "What nonsense!"

Ruan Ji also felt that it was inauspicious to say these words now, so he smiled lightly, and after everyone had seen the ceremony, he took Madam Ruan with one hand and patted Ruan Xiang on the shoulder with the other and entered the door.

"Come on, show dad your martial arts, and see if you've been slacking off these days when dad isn't here!" As soon as Ruan Ji entered the yard, he casually threw the long sword he was carrying to Ruan Xiang.

Ruan Xiang took the heavy cold sword, dropped the scabbard, weighed it in his hand, tried to see if it was right, and then looked at Zhan Yi.

Zhan Yi nodded towards him.

Ruan Xiang yelled, and then took a beautiful sword flower, and his whole body was like flowing clouds and flowing water, dancing the sword in the open space in the yard.

Ruan Ji held Mrs. Ruan's hand and stood aside, Zhan Yi waited respectfully at the side, the three of them looked at Ruan Xiang who was freely playing swords like a dragon and a phoenix, and their faces were full of relief.

A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Xiang did a sword retracting pose, holding the sword in front of his chest, and hugged Ruan Ji.

"Okay!" Ruan Ji applauded loudly and applauded, stepped forward to take the sword, patted Ruan Xiang's shoulder with satisfaction, and said to Zhan Yi: "It seems that you have taught well these past few months, I want to reward you well !"

Ruan Xiang said happily: "Thank you, Dad, for the compliment!"

Zhan Yi also cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, master!"

Ruan Ji was in a good mood, chatting and laughing with Ruan Xiang, Madam Ruan hurriedly told Mrs. Hua to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Zhan Yihou was outside the door, seemingly guarding, but he was paying attention to the conversation of Ruan Ji's family.

Ruan Ji talked with Ruan Xiang about martial arts for a while, and then asked Ruan Xiang to write aside. He took Madam Ruan's hand and asked, "How have you been in Licheng these few months? Has anyone made things difficult for you? "

Madam Ruan shook her head and said, "This is your territory, why would someone make things difficult for us?"

Ruan Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's not long ago. My second uncle wrote to me before, saying that several halls in Licheng would no longer pay tribute to him. He was very angry, and my underground iron mine... ..."

When he got the news that the underground iron mine was destroyed and robbed in Tiancheng, he was very shocked. He couldn't imagine that in the boundary of Licheng, who would have the courage to touch his things? After seeing Hao Ren, he seemed to have understood a little bit.

Now Licheng has become Hao Ren's world!Licheng has changed hands!
"What's going on?" Mrs. Ruan asked anxiously, startled.

Mrs. Ruan has a soft temper. All these years, she only knows how to guard the family's one-acre three-point land. She never cares about Ruan Ji's affairs, and she doesn't know how to manage them. After returning to Licheng, she just let Lao Zhou take care of the famous The next few silk and satin shops were in Ruan Yi's hands, and she never asked about it, not to mention that it was not the end of the year, and it was not the time to divide the accounts. Now hearing Ruan Ji's words, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Ruan Ji sighed, "I underestimated a person, but in just ten years, that person has gone from a poor boy in the countryside to the lord of a city!"

Mrs. Ruan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Master, are you talking about Ping'er's husband, Hao Chenyi?"

Ruan Ji nodded, "I came back this time to deliver the decree. The emperor is seriously ill, and the family of famous doctors is helpless. The emperor ordered Leng Ping to treat him, but today in the yamen, I even read out the decree. There is no chance, that Hao Chenyi, playing both soft and hard ways, seems to be unwilling to let Leng Ping go to Tiancheng to treat the emperor!"

Madam Ruan asked anxiously: "What should I do? This job is yours. If you don't do it well, the emperor..."

"What I'm worried about now is not that I will be punished for not doing a good job, but what I'm worried about is the emperor's dragon body. If the emperor does something wrong, the Celestial Dynasty will become Situ Zhanchen's pocket!" Ruan Ji whispered.

"Why did Hao Chenyi refuse such a great favor? This is a major matter of saving the country and the people!" Mrs. Ruan couldn't figure it out.

Ruan Ji sighed, "Others have no reason to refuse, but this Hao Chenyi, he really has a reason to refuse, because Hao Chenyi is His Royal Highness King Jue, the posthumous son of the eldest prince. Back then, the emperor killed the eldest prince to win the throne. Now Empress Hui, It's the eldest concubine, think about it, this revenge of killing father and taking mother is irreconcilable, how can I force him to save the emperor?"

Madam Ruan's eyes widened, and she was at a loss for a while, "You...you mean that Ping'er's husband is King Jue...His Royal Highness King Jue? Is it..."

Before Mrs. Ruan could finish speaking, she heard the voice of Mrs. Hua from outside, "Guard Zhan!"

Ruan Ji's eyes darkened, and he rushed out the door suddenly. At this moment, he saw a figure quickly passing by the courtyard wall and disappearing.

"Master, it's Zhanyun!" Mrs. Hua stepped forward to report.

Ruan Ji's eyes darkened, "Hua Ning, protect your wife and young master!"

Ruan Ji ordered loudly, and chased after him with his sword in hand.

Madam Ruan hadn't recovered from her shock when she saw Mrs. Hua rushing in and closing the door.

"What's wrong? This is..." Mrs. Ruan's face changed drastically in shock.

"Ma'am, just now this servant found out that Zhan Yun was eavesdropping on the conversation between Master and Madam, so he raised his voice to warn!" Granny Hua said in a deep voice.
