Chapter 245 Look, for me
I had originally planned to persuade King Liang for at least an hour, but now it was finished in just a few words, and there was nothing else to say for the time being.
"Brother, who is he?" Prince Rui turned his gaze to Cheng Nianying.
At the moment, Cheng Nianying was still disguised as a guard, so Prince Rui was unable to recognize her face.
"'He' is a very important person to me." King Liang said these words with a resounding voice.
Prince Rui was stunned when he heard this.
Extremely important? What kind of extremely important? Where did this person come from?
A ridiculous thought arose in King Rui's heart—
Over the years, Prince Liang has refused to marry or take concubines. Is it really just because of the shadow left on him by the conspiracy in Prince Ding's mansion back then?
He wouldn't be... wouldn't be a homosexual, right?
Seeing that Prince Rui was still in a daze, Prince Liang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've been very tired recently. Go back and rest early."
King Liang wanted to send the man away as soon as possible, as he still had something to say to his daughter.
Prince Rui suddenly felt that he was completely different from before.
The King of Liang had no wife, no concubines, and no children. Sometimes he wished he would stay and drink and chat with him.
But today you hope he leaves soon?
Prince Rui walked back to the chair and sat down again. "My house is deserted, brother, you know that. I'd rather talk to you here so I can catch my breath."
King Liang was helpless: "You are still blaming me, why don't you get married? If you get married, the palace will naturally be lively."
Prince Rui smiled bitterly and pointed at his legs: "How could anyone look down on me?"
King Liang's face darkened slightly. "Nonsense! You are the dignified King Rui, a man of extraordinary talent and distinction. How dare anyone look down on you?"
Prince Rui's tone was even more bitter: "He is a cripple after all."
King Liang no longer asked him to leave.
"Sometimes I really envy you, big brother." Prince Rui continued, "It's not that I envy you for your achievements today. I envy you for being able to walk, run and jump normally."
Only then did Cheng Nianying suddenly retort, "Are you so envious that you wish you could replace him?"
Prince Rui's words were stuck there for a moment.
King Liang was also stunned by the shock, and then put his hands on his knees awkwardly. He felt that what he said was inappropriate, but he didn't want to offend Xiaohe.
"Your words... your words are so absurd!" Prince Rui sneered and turned to ask Prince Liang, "Brother, who exactly is he? We have been brothers for years. How can we allow him to speak so arrogantly here?"
Prince Rui saw the coldness in "his" eyes.
The coldness seemed strange yet familiar, making Prince Rui feel very uncomfortable.
"She, she..." King Liang still didn't reveal Cheng Nianying's identity. Imperial Capital was too chaotic, and he had to be on guard. He had to be on guard for a while.
"You go to my study and rest first. I will come to find you later." King Liang compromised.
Prince Rui's expression gradually froze, then faded away bit by bit.
"...Okay, big brother, I'll wait for you."
Prince Rui turned around and looked at Cheng Nianying deeply.
Regardless of whether he was a pedophile or a real bodyguard, he should be afraid of the prince. But this person also gave him a scrutinizing look.
This made King Rui feel extremely offended and despised.
Prince Rui was led away by his servants.
King Liang was still struggling to think of how to start.
How can I say that there is something wrong with my daughter when I have never been involved in her past life?
Cheng Nianying spoke first: "You have a very good relationship with Prince Rui?"
Before King Liang could answer, Cheng Nianying continued, "When I first went to the palace banquet, you were walking with him. It seems that it is indeed a good thing."
King Liang nodded and was about to speak.
Cheng Nianying asked, "How come you can't recognize people clearly?"
The rest of King Liang's words were instantly stuck in his throat.
After a moment, he asked again: "Why do you say that?"
"You always say Fu Yi is not a good person..."
King Liang lowered his head and said, "That's not wrong."
"But this person is the worst. Fu Yi is still a long way behind him."
King Liang thought to himself, this doesn't mean you're denying that Fu Yi is bad, right?
“…”
There was silence in the flower hall for a moment.
Cheng Nianying quietly waited for King Liang's next reaction.
After a while, King Liang raised his head and said, "I know your character. If you say so, I think you are not speaking without reason. What has he done to make you say such words?"
"Why did the Marquis' Mansion ask me to marry in his place?"
"Because Qin Yurong hanged herself." King Liang immediately took up the topic.
"Why did Qin Yurong hang herself rather than marry Fu Yi?"
"Because Fu Yi is not a good match..." King Liang just finished speaking.
In the end, he still did not go against his conscience and said seriously: "Among the girls in the imperial capital, Fu Yi has an excellent reputation. He is not interested in women, does not take concubines, and does not even have a bedmaid. He is also highly regarded by my father. Any woman who marries him will not have to serve her parents-in-law and can just be her own mistress in the prince's mansion. He must be a good match."
"Then why did Qin Yurong refuse at that time?"
As Prince Liang spoke to himself, the answer suddenly popped into his mind: "She has a lover. ... Is it Prince Rui?"
"Not sweetheart." Cheng Nianying corrected with a straight face: "Lover."
"Sweetheart" may be a one-sided love, but "lover" is an active entanglement between two parties.
Prince Liang clenched his fists, his expression grim. "If we're both willing, why not marry through a formal matchmaker? Is it because my father arranged the marriage first, and I dare not disobey him?"
"You're wrong." Cheng Nianying corrected him, "Because there are many people who have a private relationship with Prince Rui, not just Qin Yurong."
King Liang: “…”
He choked up and asked, "More than one, how many are there?"
"Not three or four, nor seven or eight. Many."
“………”
Many, many, one.
King Liang sighed. "Xiao He, it's not that I don't trust you. I'm just afraid there's a misunderstanding...I want to know if there's any evidence."
"Yes, in Tianguang Temple."
"Tianguang Temple? It was burned down because of the incident with the prince."
"But there are things that cannot be burned."
King Liang immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."
He walked out of the door, step by step, and a chill slowly spread behind him.
His father was accustomed to acting in front of him, as if he was being forced to do whatever he wanted due to the constraints of his family. His closest cousin also always acted like a humble gentleman in front of him, frustrated and unhappy.
My father killed Zhaoning.
What about his cousin? What does he want to do?
"I know you're tired of the tediousness of government affairs, and you're not good at dealing with civil servants...Brother, I'll take care of everything. I'll help you."
Is that for this?
King Liang let out a long sigh, and suddenly remembered that he was walking too fast, so he slowed down and turned back to wait for Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying took light steps and caught up in the blink of an eye.
The chill in King Liang's chest was instantly dispelled.
King Liang looked at her and slowly smiled.
"What you said just now about King Rui, were you speaking up for me?"
"Well, don't let him deceive you."
King Liang laughed even more happily.
very nice.
It’s great that he has a daughter!
"If you leave Prince Rui in the study, I'm afraid he will become restless." Cheng Nianying frowned.
Look, I'm still worried about him.
The corners of Liang Wang's mouth, which had been in a bad mood just now, suddenly turned into a grin: "There's nothing in my study."
Cheng Nianying: "Oh, that's right. You were so close to him in the past. If he wanted to peek at something, he would have already seen it long ago."
King Liang was embarrassed.
I feel like I've been taught a lesson by my daughter.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Prince Rui sat in the main seat in the study, turned the pen in his hand, and the pen fell to the ground with a click.
