Chapter 70: Concubine Yun Appears
At the banquet yesterday, Rong Zhang apologized and thanked Rong Ruo many times. Now hearing him apologize again, Nanny Xu said something subconsciously.
Su Chenyu pursed her lips and said, "Please ask him to come in."
In the previous life, because Baili Yanqing had a disabled leg, Rong Ruo directly chose Crown Prince Su Jinwei and became the Crown Princess.
Rong Zhang returned to Beirong after they got married, but when he arrived, the fight for the throne in Beirong had already become heated. Unexpectedly, he defeated the crown prince who was at the peak of his power and became the king of Beirong himself.
At that time, Su Chenyu thought that the King of Northern Rong loved Rong Zhang, so he was able to succeed in the end. Now it seems that this is not the case. I am afraid that the King of Northern Rong was afraid of Rong Zhang, so he sent him to Dayu to get rid of him so that he could do it as the Prince of Northern Rong.
After Rong Zhang succeeded to the throne, he negotiated a complete peace with Dayu and achieved peace between the two countries. Without the threat from the northwest, the state guards naturally had no place to use their military power, so Emperor Jing of Wei began to deal with the state guards.
Thinking of this, Su Chenyu quickly made a decision in her heart. It would be the best situation for Rong Zhang to succeed to the throne of King Beirong. But this time, she would not let Zhenguo Xi follow in the footsteps of his previous life!
Rong Zhang was brought in by Yanyu. He was still wearing the Northern Rong costume, with a unique wildness: "Master Fengyi."
Madam Xu served tea to Rong Zhang: "This is Longjing before the rain. I wonder if Prince Rong Zhang can get used to it."
Rong Zhang took a sip of it out of respect and praised it, "Good tea!"
"If Prince Rong Zhang wants to do this for Rong Ruo, he doesn't have to come here in person." Su Chenyu would never accept someone else's apology to Rong Ruo. She had a broken leg and was mute. It was obvious that she didn't realize she was wrong at all.
Rong Zhang said to Su Chenyu: "Master Fengyi, my sister has been spoiled in Beirong, so it is inevitable that her words and actions are not appropriate. I did offend many people at the banquet yesterday. But I came here today to thank you for not telling Zhixia about it."
Zhixia was a concubine. If Su Chenyu told others that she had left the posthouse without permission, it would probably arouse suspicion among Emperor Jing of Wei.
"Prince Rong Zhang, do you know what happened the night Zhixia left the inn without permission?" Su Chenyu looked up at him, "She lied to my cousin from the Li family, saying that she was staying at the Bafang Inn. If I hadn't discovered that she was a maid, I'm afraid my cousin would have been deceived by her."
Rong Zhang's eyes widened slightly, and the words he originally wanted to say got stuck in his throat. What Zhixia did made him extremely embarrassed and a little ashamed.
"As far as I know, the King of Beirong loves Rong Ruoxi very much, and the Crown Prince also dotes on this sister. I thought the King of Beirong would let the Crown Prince accompany Rong Ruoxi on the diplomatic mission to Dayu, but I didn't expect that he would actually send you here."
In a flash, Rong Zhang remembered what the King of Northern Rong had said to him when he was assigned to Dayu. He didn't want to stay in Dayu for long, but the King of Northern Rong repeatedly told him that he must watch Rong Ruo get married before he could come back.
Why do you want to drag yourself to waste time?
How could Rong Zhang be a fool if he was able to win the final throne when everyone thought he would fight a losing battle?
"It's not surprising that the emperor favors the crown prince." The reason Rong Zhang could get to where he is today was not because of the favor of the King of Beirong. Even if he understood his intentions, he was not that shocked.
Su Chenyu was not in a hurry and said slowly, "When Zhixia first arrived in the capital, she seemed to have recognized my cousin. How did she, a daughter of the Northern Rong, recognize someone from the Li family?"
It seemed as if an invisible hand was holding Rong Zhang's heart. He doted on Rong Ruo and thought she was just a little spoiled. But now it seems, is she really just a little spoiled?
"Prince Rong Zhang, if it's for Zhi Xia's sake, then I accept your thanks. If it's for Rong Ruo, I can't accept this apology. After all, there are some things that she won't be grateful for just because you do it for her."
