"I don't know."

The room was quiet for a moment, Shi Jin's expression was as calm as ever, "I asked people, but no one knew who Rong Xia was engaged to, maybe..." Shi Jin turned his head and avoided Shi Feixian's gaze. , “Maybe you’re not from the capital, so I don’t know.”

Although most of Daye's noble families are gathered in the capital, it does not mean that only the capital has noble families.

"Really?" Shi Feixian looked at Shi Jin. Shi Jin lowered his head and poured two cups of tea. One cup was handed to Shi Feixian and one was kept for himself.

"Sorry, I couldn't help you."

"No, I was too impatient." Shi Feixian picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea was a little cold, which dampened the impulse in her heart. "Brother, thank you."

Shi Jin shook his head, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me, brother and sister."

Shi Feixian forced a smile and held the tea cup tightly in his palm.

Shi Jin returned to his yard, shooed away the servants in the room, picked up the Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf, and read them over and over again. After half an hour, he threw the Buddhist scriptures in his hand on the table and closed his eyes.

"Sir, the prime minister is looking for you." The boy's voice sounded outside.

Shi Jin rubbed his forehead, stood up and said, "I'll be there right away."

Shi Chonghai saw Shi Jin coming in. After he saluted, he said to him: "Sit down and talk."

Seeing his father's serious expression, Shi Jin asked, "Father, what happened?"

“The assassination of the eldest princess has been investigated, and the mastermind behind it is King Hui. Over the years, King Hui has been resentful of His Majesty and sent spies to sneak into the palace, but he has been holding back, just to wait for the opportunity and win the The throne." Shi Chonghai handed the news found in Dali Temple to Shi Jin, "Take a look."

"Father, since he has endured it for so long, why did he suddenly decide to assassinate His Majesty?" Shi Jin glanced at the information briefly and was a little confused, "This is not the best time. Since King Hui has endured it, It’s been so long, why don’t you want to wait a little longer?”

"Because he can't wait any longer," Shi Chonghai sneered, "King Hui was seriously ill and was at the end of his strength. People who are about to die are always crazier. Becoming emperor is his lifelong obsession. If he doesn't let go, Fight, he will not give up until he dies."

"But... if the assassination failed, how could His Majesty let King Hui's family go?" Shi Jin thought of the eldest princess who died because of this incident, and felt a little pity in his heart. This delusion of King Hui had harmed his life. The family also harmed the eldest princess.

How innocent is the eldest princess to be implicated in this matter?

"If a man wants to do big things, he naturally cannot look ahead and look back. A woman's benevolence," Shi Chonghai snorted coldly, "King Hui has the courage, but does not have the luck and strength. He is in this situation, and it is his own fault."

"But there seems to be no movement in Prince Hui's Mansion," Shi Jin frowned, "What are your Majesty's plans?"

"You will understand in a few days," Shi Chonghai said calmly, "From today on, you are no longer allowed to have anything to do with people from Prince Hui's Mansion."

"Yes." Shi Jin hesitated for a moment and said to Shi Chonghai, "Father, the Xie family's side..."

"Don't worry about them," Shi Chonghai sneered disdainfully, "This family can play a good hand to this point, which shows that they are not a strong opponent."

If Erlang of the Xie family married Princess Fule, he should not be underestimated, but he eloped with a Fengchen woman and offended the Ban family. This was undoubtedly asking for death.

Although the Ban family seems to have no real power, the status of this family is very transcendent. Anyone with any brain knows that even if you don't like this family in your heart, you should not show it on your face, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the royal family.

When the time comes, Shen Yu wins the lottery, enjoys great fame in the capital, is held in high esteem by a group of people, and is encouraged by impure people to go to Ban's house to break off the engagement. What will be the final outcome?

Being whipped in the street by Banhua, he was greatly disgraced. In the end, all his fame, fame and fortune were reduced to nothing.

In front of the imperial power, the emperor nods or shakes his head whether he is beautiful or not.

A few days later, the palace of Prince Hui suddenly flooded, and Prince Hui and Princess Hui were buried in the sea of ​​fire. Only a pair of children managed to save their lives, but they were both injured. The crown prince Jiang Yuchen had his leg crushed by a falling beam, and Princess Kangning had a large part of her arm burned by the fire, which looked particularly terrifying.

The emperor felt pity for the children who had lost their father and mother, so they specially ordered Princess Kangning to be raised in the palace. Prince Hui's son inherited Prince Hui's title, but was demoted from prince to county king. Countless people in the world praised the empress for her kindness and pity for her descendants. Some people even wrote books and biographies, as if this was a good deed worthy of a special mention. As for Prince Hui and his wife who were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, except for the old staff of Prince Hui's palace, who And do you really care?

No matter how suspicious the cause of King Hui's death was, the rules for his funeral ceremony were not reduced by half, nor were they increased by half. Everything was in accordance with the rules. However, everything in the royal family is done according to the rules, so it will inevitably look a bit shabby. Even the road festivals held by various families in the capital had a perfunctory flavor, as if to tell everyone that this was the end of King Hui's status.

Wearing filial piety and mourning clothes, Jiang Yuchen and Jiang Kangning escorted the coffins of King Hui and his wife to the burial. When they saw how perfunctory the road festivals in various prefectures were, their original anger turned into numbness, and they allowed these people to act hypocritically. sad, saying words of condolences for them.

Three months ago, when the eldest princess was assassinated, these people were as sad as if their own mothers and grandmothers had died. Now that their father and mother have died of illness, they are too lazy to do a full set of acting.

The world is so unkind, and the two of them will be like duckweeds on the water in the future, helpless and walking on thin ice.

"Please express my condolences." A slightly childish voice sounded. Kang Ning looked up and saw that the person speaking was actually the eldest son of Duke Jingting. Other mansions could only send a steward out, but the eldest son of Duke Jingting came to express his condolences in person. It was actually more grand than the other families.

Kang Ning returned the greeting in a daze and continued to move forward numbly. She had shed too many tears these days, and at this moment, she could no longer cry.

If the Jingting Palace knew that the assassination of the eldest princess was related to their family, I'm afraid they wouldn't even hold a road sacrifice. Kang Ning looked up at the paper money flying in the sky and smiled bitterly. I really didn’t expect that the only people who seriously put up road sacrifices were people who had been harmed by their family. This is so ridiculous.

The father always asked them to be careful and pay attention at all times. Why in the end, it was he who pushed Prince Hui's mansion into the endless abyss?

She once had a sweet dream of being a princess. Now that she has woken up from the dream, she is extremely glad that His Majesty is a good-looking person. At least he does not want everyone in the world to know that his brother wants to kill him and that he is not the late emperor. She loves her son the most, and he wants the reputation of benevolence, so the brothers and sister were able to save their lives, even though...the brother broke a leg, and her left arm became ugly.

When passing by the Youxiang Mansion, she saw a simple road altar, without even a person guarding the altar. She sneered in her heart. It was indeed the Youxiang Mansion that could adapt to the wind and make such a masterpiece. She was not surprised at all by this kind of thing.

"Kang Ning," Jiang Yuchen was sitting on the wooden wheel push chair. Seeing his sister staring at the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze, he said, "Let's go."

In the Dayue Palace, Emperor Yunqing sat in front of the imperial cabinet, listening expressionlessly to the secret guards reporting what road sacrifices each government had put out when King Hui was buried.

"I'm not surprised that the Ban family would do this." After hearing what the Ban family did, Emperor Yun Qing actually showed a smile on his face, "Only their family has a pure heart."

At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Rong Xia, because Rong Xia did not tell the Ban family what he had found out before. Otherwise, given the character of the Ban family, they should smash King Hui's coffin at this time instead of asking the heir to pay homage to him on the road.

Whether it’s appearance or classmate, it always makes him feel so at ease. But the Shi family seems to be a little too big-hearted...

"Uncle, I don't understand," Du Jiu stood behind Rong Xia in the dense forest, looking at the busy man in black not far away, "Princess Fule is not the best choice."

"For me, she is the best choice," Rong Xia pulled up the black cloak and covered her head, "Du Jiu, you have gone too far."

Du Jiu's expression changed drastically when he heard this: "My subordinate made a mistake!"

Rong Xia tied the rope of his cloak: "Go back to the city."

"Who is coming? There is a curfew now. You are not allowed to enter the city without a warrant!" The guards at the city gate suddenly became very nervous when they saw a group of cavalry appearing outside the city gate.

Suddenly, the leader of the men in black gave a golden token, which reflected dazzling light under the torch? The guard saw that the horses they were riding had black gold-patterned ribbons tied around their necks. He raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Sorry, I will order them to open the door." After saying that, he raised the torch in his hand and pointed towards He made a few gestures at the bottom of the city gate.

Soon, these people entered the city like a rainbow, and then disappeared into the dark night.

"Ruyi," Banhua woke up from her sleep, sat up and asked, "Did the sound of horse hooves sound outside just now?"

"Maybe it's the patrolling city guards," Ruyi walked to Banhua's tent, "but I didn't hear anything."

"Really?" Banhua yawned and lay back on the bed: "What time is it now?"

"Princess, it's already the third watch." Upon hearing this, Banhua immediately closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.

Gynecologist Jinshou once said that staying up late at night is the most damaging to a woman’s appearance and should not be taken lightly.

Undreamless until dawn, I heard the servants say that when Cheng Anbo arrived, Banhua still didn't know where he was going. It wasn't until I washed my face that I finally woke up.

"Princess, Cheng Anbo has arrived, but you haven't put on your makeup or even changed your clothes. How can this be a good thing?" Rujing Banhua was still sitting on the bed, helplessly saying, "I will help you get dressed." Right."

"Ah?" Banhua touched his face and said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, you have to understand a truth. Men who are good at waiting are always extraordinarily charming."

Ruyi: No, I don’t know what kind of man is charming, but I know that you are definitely a woman who is good at making men wait.

In the main hall, Ban Heng sat with Rong Xia for half an hour. He even changed two cups of tea, but his sister hadn't come out yet.

"Uncle Rong, my sister..."

"I did not make an appointment with the princess, so I came rashly and disturbed the princess's rest."

Ban Heng touched his nose and couldn't say anything anymore.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, what else can he say?

"Rong Xia, are you here?" Banhua walked out, still wearing plain clothes and silver hairpins, and no makeup on his face, but he looked very energetic.

"Huahua," Rong Xia stood up from the chair and asked with a smile, "I came here unexpectedly, didn't I disturb your rest?"

"Fortunately, I was about to get up at this time in the past," Banhua walked up to Rong Xia, "I think the weather outside is nice, are you here to take me to eat noodles?"

"Yes," Rong Xia nodded, "The sun is shining brightly today, so it's a good time to go out."

"Okay, let's go." Banhua nodded immediately, turned around and walked out.

"Sister, you don't need breakfast?" Ban Heng asked from behind.

"No, I want to save my stomach for something else." Banhua shook his head, "Eat breakfast at this hour. How can I eat anything else."

Rong Xia smiled and said to Ban Heng, "Your Majesty, would you like to come with us?"

"That's it. I just had breakfast and I can't eat anything else right now. You go ahead." Ban Heng gave a fake smile.

They are all men, who doesn’t know who is who? If he really nodded and said it, I'm afraid Rong Xia wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.
