The puppet emperor obediently agreed to his master's request. Afterwards, Rong Sheng and the Valley Master left the palace under the protection of the Imperial Guards and returned to the Prince Yi's Mansion.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, the steward instructed Rong Sheng to go to the study, explaining that Gu Beiyi and Feng Sijin were discussing matters there, and that news of what had happened in the palace had reached their ears.
Rong Sheng nodded and quickly went to the study.
Only Gu Beiyi and Feng Sijin were in the study. When they saw Rong Sheng arrive, their dark expressions softened immediately, filled with doting affection.
"The steward said you already know what happened in the palace," Rong Sheng asked.
Gu Beiyi: "Sheng Sheng, you are really bold to dare to control the Emperor and make him do things for you."
"Gu Beiyi, what are you saying? You have no conscience. Did I control the Emperor without your permission? Don't try to wash your hands of this and throw mud at me." Rong Sheng retorted.
Gu Beiyi: "Yes, yes, it was my fault! Shengsheng, you did a very good job. This will make our next plan much safer."
"Of course!" Rong Sheng said smugly.
Feng Sijin: "Shengbao, I came to Prince Yi's Mansion today to tell you something. Your Rong family members have traveled a long way to the capital and are staying in the house you bought for them. If you have time, you should go and see them. However, I'm afraid it won't be possible tomorrow morning, because they are going to the Su family tomorrow morning to finalize the marriage between Rong Mu and Su Wenlan."
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng's dark eyes lit up: "Really? My parents are here, and my four brothers are here too? That's wonderful! Although it's only been a few months since we last met, it feels like it's been years. I miss them so much."
A hint of worry appeared in Feng Sijin's dark eyes: "Yes, the whole family has come. They not only came, but they also know that you are my daughter."
Rong Sheng waved her hand dismissively: "Father, don't worry. My parents are very good. They won't distance themselves from me because of this, and they won't resent you. After all, you were forced into this situation and didn't even know I existed. As long as you all get along well in the future and don't make me worry about them, that would be best."
Feng Sijin breathed a sigh of relief: "Shengbao, don't worry. I might not be making things difficult for you. I've already met the Rong family. They're not exactly friendly people. I've figured that out. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who bullies the weak. I'll definitely get along well with them and won't let you worry."
Rong Sheng came to Feng Sijin's side and took Feng Sijin's arm: "Father, you are so kind. I feel much more at ease now."
Tomorrow... she's going to visit the Su family too!
After finishing their casual conversation, Rong Sheng's expression turned serious: "Gu Beiyi, Father, the current situation is all on our side. Have you thought about when we should make our move? Are we just going to keep playing this game?"
This question was essentially pointless, because Lu Mian was about to enter the capital, and Gu Beiyi's men had already been keeping an eye on Lu Mian and Wei Qicheng's men. If they made any rash moves, they would definitely be taken down.
Gu Beiyi said indulgently, "Sheng Sheng, can't wait? Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"In that case, let's go over the next steps of the plan and try to resolve it as soon as possible!" Rong Sheng said.
Gu Beiyi has no problem.
By the time they had pieced together the plan, it was already dawn.
This morning, Rong Sheng wanted to meet with her family members, so she left after breakfast.
Gu Beiyi originally wanted to go with Rong Sheng, but he had too many things to do and couldn't be in two places at once!
The same goes for Feng Sijin.
But as soon as Rong Sheng left, their plan began to be implemented. The people of Wuyinglou secretly captured Lu Mian and the others, and then imprisoned them in the secret dungeon of Wuyinglou. In order to prevent Lu Mian and the others from escaping or reporting to the authorities, they poisoned Lu Mian and the others. The poison was not very strong, but it was enough to make them behave.
As for the Emperor, he is now very obedient because he has been controlled by Rong Sheng. Gu Beiyi will not deal with the Emperor for the time being, and will instead let the Valley Master and Rong Sheng take good care of the Emperor's health to make him healthier.
As for his death? It's impossible for him to die at this critical juncture. Well, after the New Year, it's none of his business how the Emperor wants to take care of his health. It's also none of his business if he manages to lose his life.
They were brothers after all. Even if their relationship was distant, Gu Beiyi was as ruthless as the emperor, not sparing even his own brothers and sons.
The snow disaster in the north has been completely brought under control, and many officials have returned to the capital. The emperor has not yet fully recovered, but state affairs must be handled, so the emperor should not cause me any more trouble.
Then he can properly prepare that grand gift.
When Rong Sheng returned home, the Rong family was preparing gifts to visit the Su family. With the help of the housekeeper, the gifts were ready and they were ready to leave at any time.
Seeing her parents and four older brothers looking so energetic and all smiles, Rong Sheng smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what are we busy with? I'm back!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Rong family immediately turned to look at the door. They saw the person they had been longing to see smiling, with eyes crinkling and a dazzling light shining from them.
"Shengbao, you're finally back! Your third brother missed you so much."
"Shengbao, my good child, come into my arms and let me tell you how much I've missed you. Let me see if you've lost weight lately."
"Shengbao, I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound."
"Shengbao, Big Brother..."
Her parents and brothers rushed towards her and hugged her. Rong Sheng didn't hold back her smiles and enthusiasm, hugging them tightly. "Father, Mother, my brothers, Sheng Bao was also very worried. As long as you're all right, Sheng Bao is fine!"
Feeling the care from her parents and brothers, Rong Sheng felt warm inside. Especially since she didn't see a trace of gloom on their faces or in their eyes, Rong Sheng knew that they weren't unhappy because she was Feng Sijin's daughter.
To be able to become their daughter and their sister in this life is truly a blessing from my past life.
"Father, Mother, brothers, I'm so sorry. I had so many things to do that I couldn't come to greet you in person and left you all alone in this unfamiliar place. I feel really bad about it."
The Rong family comforted Rong Sheng: "Sheng Bao, there's no need to feel guilty or blame yourself. You've already done a great job. Without Sheng Bao, how could we be living such a comfortable life!"
"Shengbao, today is a good day, so don't cry."
Seeing her brothers and parents' loving affection, Rong Sheng chuckled. She then excitedly chatted with them for a while before getting into the carriage and heading towards the Su family home, seeing that it was almost time.
