married daughter

Chapter 407 Weakening
Ruan Yunting was a little surprised.If it was as usual, since Jun Lanzhou knew what Fu E had in mind for her, he would not be willing to let him see her. Why did he become more open-minded today and asked her to see Fu E?Presumably there must be some special reason.

Ruan Yunting put on a Shu brocade rabbit fur cloak in the color of concubine Xiang, and walked out quickly. The wind in the early winter of October was already very cold. Fortunately, it was noon and the sun was high, bringing some warmth.

Taking Hongdou all the way to Leisure Hall, I saw Fu E and Jun Lanzhou sitting opposite each other, playing chess.

Ruan Yunting entered, and the two looked over at the same time.Jun Lanzhou smiled slightly, "Is it cold? I have someone prepare hot soup for you, you can eat some first."

But Fu E stood up nervously, looking at the beauty who was dressed in pink and tender as jade carved from ice, he felt regretful in his heart.

Ruan Yunting handed over the cloak to Hongdou, sat down on the armchair covered with emerald green brocade cotton cushions, warmed her hands with a warm tureen, and said with a smile, "It's such a cold day, is General Fu here for something?"

Fu E originally wanted to play a game of chess with Jun Lanzhou to find a balance in his heart, but when Ruan Yunting sat beside him, he had already disturbed him, and he couldn't calm down anymore. Chess basket, said: "My father sent a letter, there is something at home, and I will leave for Xiujian Villa later."

When she heard that Fu E was going to leave, Ruan Yunting was slightly happy.Fu E came here in the name of protecting her, but in fact it was because the father intended to betroth her to him.So Fu'e's staying here has always been justified.Now his father wrote to ask him to leave, maybe Prince Duan and the Fu family explained it, and the Fu family felt that it was shameful for Fu E to stay, so they let him go.

So a crisis is over?

Fu E looked at Ruan Yunting carefully, seeing that her smile was still there, showing no sign of reluctance, he lowered his head and laughed at himself.It seems that she really doesn't care about him.

That's all, a dignified man, why don't you have a wife?He still wouldn't feel sad for a woman who didn't have him in her heart.

"It's a long journey, can you prepare General Fu's luggage?" Ruan Yunting asked politely.

Fu E said: "I always don't like trouble when I go out. I can keep things simple and pack everything. It's a pity that I originally wanted to wait for Wen Yuan to return triumphantly before drinking, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to. Still Lord Jun, please help me to convey that I will invite Wen Yuan to come to Xiujian Villa as a guest some other day, and I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

Jun Lanzhou smiled and said, "General Fu's words will be conveyed to me. I also want to thank you General for your hard work these days."

"I'm just entrusted by others to be loyal. In fact, I didn't help much." Although Fu E thinks highly of himself, he is not a self-deceiving person.During this period of time, although he used the name of protecting Ruan Yunting, he really did not do much.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said: "It happened suddenly, even if I wanted to do it for General Fu, I'm afraid I can't do it. If General Fu comes back someday, I will definitely prepare a sumptuous banquet in Guiyun Pavilion to welcome you."

Fu E stood up and cupped his fists and said: "Then thank the princess first. I have to go to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor, and I will stay soon. Farewell!"

"I'll send the general."

Jun Lanzhou grabbed his black cloak and put it on, and sent Fu E out.

Ruan Yunting sat alone in the leisurely hall warmed by the fire, feeling very relaxed, and finally solved a major issue, the next one is Princess Zhaoyang.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a familiar hearty laughter coming from outside the house. Listening carefully, it was Jun Lanzhou and Jun Zhaoying.

"...I haven't congratulated you on the birth of your precious son, but you came here to ask for a present. I really don't know how to be ashamed."

"When did you become so stingy, how do you know that I am always begging for courtesy?"

……

While talking, the two lifted the plywood blue cotton curtain and entered the room.Jun Zhaoying wore a mouse-gray cloak, his face was glowing red, and there was sweat on his forehead.

"Seventh cousin brother-in-law, congratulations."

"Haha!" Jun Zhaoying laughed loudly, and said, "I haven't thanked you for the gift you prepared yet. It's not convenient for Qiaoer to come, so I specially asked me to thank you."

"Hey, those are worthless. They are all yellow and white things." Ruan Yunting ordered someone to remake tea and bring it up. After the three of them sat down, they asked, "Has your young master got a name?"

"Not yet, now there is only a baby name, called Bao'er."

Ruan Yunting pursed her lips and smiled: "It looks like you picked the name."

"Yes, he is the treasure of Qiao'er and me." Hearing this, Jun Zhaoying smiled heartily again.

Hongdou came forward with tea, then bowed respectfully and left.

Ruan Yunting then said: "You came here specially to talk about Bao'er, right?"

Hearing this, Jun Zhaoying said seriously, "I'm here to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"The emperor issued an order not to pursue the matter of poisoning."

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou froze at the same time.

"This matter involves the relationship between the two countries. How can the emperor say that he will not investigate if he does not investigate? Isn't he afraid of explaining to Xiwu Kingdom?"

Jun Zhaoying said distressedly: "Who dares to figure out what the emperor is thinking? I am just a small official of Zhen Guosi. I only follow the orders and do things, but I don't question the orders."

Ruan Yunting nodded understandingly: "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. You should be careful and protect yourself first."

"I came here to tell you this. Although I am also very angry with the person who poisoned him, but the emperor issued an order not to allow the investigation to continue, so I naturally dare not take any further action. If I continue to investigate, I will be disobeying the order."

Jun Lanzhou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "So you come to us, let us see if there is any way to make the emperor change his mind and continue to investigate?"

"That's what I meant."

Unexpectedly, Jun Zhaoying would admit it so bluntly.It can be seen that he really cares about Xu Ningqiao.

Ruan Yunting hesitated a little, stood up and walked around the table and armchair a few times.

What she analyzed was why the emperor suddenly ordered to stop the investigation.Was her initial guess right?The mastermind behind the scenes is the emperor himself!He let the investigation be done just to give an explanation to Xiwu. After a while, he directly said that the murderer was that Taohong.

But that's it, it's really not reconciled.

"This matter still needs to be pursued." Jun Lanzhou said seriously: "This matter is a matter of principle. I can't allow a person who harms Ting'er's heart to go unpunished and not pursue it, even if I really can't find out who is behind the scenes." People, I will also muddy the water in this pond, and I will never let these people live in peace!"

"But, if we continue to investigate, I'm worried that Wen Yuan will be hurt." After all, Tao Hong belongs to Dai Xuefei.What if the emperor insisted that Han Su ordered Dai Xuefei to indulge the maid?Even if this is not the case, if the emperor says that Dai Xuefei did it, where will Han Su's face be put? Dai Xuefei is sister Xuan's biological mother after all!
Jun Lanzhou didn't have as many worries as Ruan Yunting, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter can't be found on Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan's military achievements are outstanding, and the voice of the people is very high. If such rumors come out, everyone will Most people would not believe that Wen Yuan did it, and his image in the hearts of the people is the patron saint of Daliang Kingdom. And the emperor would not do that, and put the shit pot on the royal family's head."

"Then what do you mean?" Jun Zhaoying asked suspiciously.

Jun Lanzhou walked to the window, looked at the bright window paper on the grid fan, and said: "If you are in a hurry, someone will naturally be pulled out to top the tank. Who is the person who tops the tank is enough to explain the problem. Let's wait Just watch."

Jun Zhaoying scratched her head and asked Ruan Yunting, "What charade is he playing?"

Ruan Yunting didn't know what Jun Lanzhou was planning, so she shook her head and spread her hands.

Jun Lanzhou said: "I will write to my adoptive father immediately, asking him to find a way to put pressure on the emperor. The so-called "threat the grass to scare the snake", let's use the emperor's hand to "threat the grass" first."

After sending Jun Zhaoying away, Jun Lanzhou went back to the outer courtyard alone to write a letter to Prince Duan.This letter was rushed to Seibu country.

By the time Xiwu Kingdom signed the letter of credence and asked the Emperor of Liang Kingdom to abide by the agreement and thoroughly investigate the poisoner, it was already early November.

Ruan Yunting just went to Jun's house to eat Bao'er's full moon wine, and when she returned to Yangxin Xiaozhu, she heard the news.

Concubine Rougong was demoted to Concubine Lu, fined for a full month, and sent a letter of credence to Xiwu Kingdom. After investigation, the matter was indeed done by Taohong alone and had nothing to do with others. For the first time, the emperor sincerely said to the emperor of Xiwu Kingdom I apologize, but also presented a valuable gift and ten beauties.

"What does this mean?" Ruan Yunting asked Jun Lanzhou amusedly.

In the winter, Jun Lanzhou only wore a plain white jacket, and leaned on the drunken chair with his eyes closed and swayed back and forth leisurely.Her long hair was tied behind her head, and she ignored it, lazily said: "Ting'er is so smart, how can she not guess what the emperor wants to do?"

"How could I guess." Ruan Yunting sat down on the heated kang by the window.

Jun Lanzhou opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Don't think about what will happen if the poison is taken by you or by Qiao girl, because there are no ifs and things that have never happened in this world, don't think about it, then It messes with your mind."

Ruan Yunting was taken aback when she heard the words: "You mean..."

"You only look at the current result, who benefits?"

"The result now? The emperor apologized, gave gifts, and sent beautiful women."

"No." Jun Lanzhou added: "Imperial Concubine Lu has been demoted to concubine. She has been demoted two levels in a row, and she is the same as your good sister, Concubine Wan."

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, and she said in astonishment, "You mean, this matter was really planned by the emperor from the beginning to the end?"

Jun Lanzhou nodded, "Yes. For so many years, the Xu family and the Lu family have been on par with each other. Both have military exploits, and they are both humeral families in the court. Concubine Xu and Concubine Lu are even more divided in the palace. Concubine Xu fell, There is only one noble concubine Rougong left in the palace. Your late sister entered the palace for a short period of time. Although she was given the surname Ji and gave birth to the tenth prince, it is not easy to be promoted. Now that the queen mother is gone, you Speaking of the harem, don’t you want people from the Lu family to have the final say?”

　Having said that, this one is very suitable for confession. . . .
