After the family finished discussing this matter, they went back to rest.
Song Jinming had no political affairs to deal with tonight, so he went back with his wife.
Song Mubai sent his sister back first.
On the way, Song Jiujiu walked with her short legs. She turned her head to look at Qi Yan, who was following beside her with little presence, and asked him in a cold and baby voice.
"Qi Yan, you met the two princes of the Immortal Dynasty today. What do you think of them?"
Qi Yan didn't expect the little princess to suddenly ask him such a question. He reacted for a moment and answered with his head down.
"Your Highness, I think both of your Highnesses are good people."
Song Jiujiu: "..."
She curled her lips and said, "What kind of answer is that? Forget it. You won't tell the truth even if I ask you. Big brother, give me a hug. Jiuer's legs hurt."
Song Jiujiu turned around and hugged her elder brother's legs and acted coquettishly, as if the question she asked Qi Yan was just a casual question on a whim and had no special meaning.
In the middle of the night, Rong Yanqing got up quietly and put on his clothes.
He and Rong Youlin lived in the same palace, but not in the same room.
He quietly climbed out of the palace window and headed straight for Qiankun Palace.
When Rong Yanqing saw the patrolling guards on the road, he dodged them easily.
Rong Yanqing came to Qiankun Palace and explained to the guards at the door that he wanted to see the emperor.
Unfortunately, Song Jinming did not stay in Qiankun Palace tonight, but in Ye Peizhu Palace.
Rong Yanqing waited at the door for half an incense stick of time before Song Jinming came.
In the imperial study, Rong Yanqing bowed first.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for disturbing you in the middle of the night because I don't want anyone else to know about this."
Song Jinming played with a walnut. "Could the other person that Ninth Prince was referring to be your brother, Third Prince?"
Rong Yanqing admitted it straightforwardly, "That's right, Your Majesty. To be honest, our country is currently in civil strife.
Your Majesty should have heard that the people of our country can cultivate immortality, refine elixirs, and achieve immortality.
This has always been the impression that people outside the Xian Dynasty have of our country.
But in reality, we don’t know how to cultivate immortality, nor can we achieve immortality.
The elixir that is refined does not have any effect of immortality. It is just like a tonic that can only prolong life.
At the beginning, everyone was serious about refining medicine to replenish their bodies, but later, the opposite evil path appeared in the righteous path.
Outsiders do not know what the so-called cultivation methods of the evil path are.
However, the evil ways brainwashed the people throughout our country, causing their confidence in the royal family and the emperor to gradually decline, and even causing them to think about rebellion.
Moreover, the evil sect has killed several of the foreign minister's brothers. Now, only the foreign minister and my brother are left in the royal family.
The power of the evil sects is gradually expanding. My father is worried that we will not be able to resist and will die at their hands.
He took advantage of the problems at the border to let the foreign officials and my brother leave.
First, to save my life, second, to explain the border situation to the Emperor, third, to congratulate the Emperor on his ascension to the throne, and fourth, as a foreign minister, I wish to request the Emperor."
Rong Yanqing's voice was childish, but every word he spoke was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not play the victim.
Song Jinming narrowed his eyes slightly, "I didn't expect such things to happen in the Immortal Dynasty. What does His Highness the Ninth Prince want to ask of me?"
Rong Yanqing bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, my father and I would like to ask Your Majesty to cooperate with us, the righteous ones, to defeat the evil ones.
In return, the Xian Dynasty voluntarily becomes a vassal of your country.
In addition, there is evidence that the conflicts that occurred on the border some time ago were caused by the Yan Chi Kingdom.
The Yan Chi Kingdom wants to sow discord between your country and ours, and its evil ambitions are obvious.
Who knows what kind of trouble Yan Chiguo will cause in the future.
On behalf of the righteous imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty, I promise that if the Yan Chi Kingdom intends to do anything to your country in the future, I will do my utmost to protect your country!
Song Jinming tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
"Ninth Prince, how can we defeat the evil ways you speak of?"
Rong Yanqing's heart was slightly moved, "Your Majesty, most of our country's troops are now controlled by the evil sects, so my father is temporarily unable to send troops to deal with them.
If the Emperor is willing to cooperate with the outsiders, there are two ways to defeat the evil."
Rong Yanqing did not hide anything and told them the two solutions he had thought of one by one.
Song Jinming's eyes were deep, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is so smart at such a young age, it is truly a blessing for the Immortal Dynasty.
But, is there any problem with the Third Prince?"
Song Jinming changed the subject and mentioned Rong Youlin.
Rong Yanqing thought of what Song Mubai said last night and immediately understood Song Jinming's test.
He explained honestly.
"Your Majesty, I, as an outsider, also feel there is something wrong with my brother's situation.
I don't know whether my brother has ever met the eldest prince of Song in your country before.
But what I can be sure of is that my brother has been to your country and has even toured almost every corner of your country.
However, when my brother and the foreign minister decided to go to your country, my brother said that it was his first time to your country.
In addition, there are some small habits of my brother, which are different from the memory of my brother as an outsider.
The person is still the same, but some memories and habits have changed."
Upon hearing this, Song Jinming immediately thought of the resurrection that his daughter had mentioned.
Could this be the reason?
Song Jinming pondered, "Your Highness, the evil ways you mentioned, do they have any crooked ways that can allow people to reincarnate, change their faces, or cast a spell on them?
If your brother is still the same person, but has undergone some changes, then he might have become a different person inside.
If your brother is now a member of the evil sect, then his purpose in coming here this time might be the same as yours."
Rong Yanqing was stunned.
Resurrection?
Face change?
Put a curse on someone?
The same as his purpose?
If the Third Prince is really no longer the same Third Prince as before...
If the third prince is really a member of the evil side.
I'm afraid that his purpose is really the same as what Emperor Fufeng said.
He wanted to ask Emperor Fufeng to cooperate with the righteous side to defeat the evil side.
The third prince's goal is to ask Emperor Fufeng to cooperate with the evil ways, defeat the righteous ways, and take over the Xian Dynasty.
However, if the third prince was really an evil person, he would not come and explain the matter directly to Emperor Fufeng like he did.
But use other extreme methods!
Moreover, the evil ambitions of the evil sect are no different from those of the Yan Chi Kingdom.
I'm afraid the evildoers' goal is not just the Xian Dynasty!
As his thoughts turned, cold sweat broke out on Rong Yanqing's back.
He bowed to Song Jinming with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to keep a close watch on Rong Youlin!
If he is really an evil person, then he will definitely do other dangerous things on this trip!
The evil ways are full of tricks, and outsiders are not sure whether they will use crooked methods to manipulate people's hearts.
But one thing that outsiders can be sure of is that evil ways do not use witchcraft.
As far as I know, after the Gumen clan left your country, they came to our country and wanted to settle down there..."
