The people of Daliang could only comfort themselves in their hearts: as long as they could return to Jinling, it would be fine. When the time came, whether His Highness could stay in Daliang would be decided by the people of Daliang, right?
As for these accompanying officials, whether to detain or assassinate them when they arrive in Nanjing is just a matter of a few words, right?
Everyone had their own plans, and the itinerary was decided.
Duan Rongshi saw everything, and when he returned to the main courtyard and told Li Qingluo about it, Li Qingluo found the scene funny.
"These officials' quarrels are like children playing house."
Duan Rongshi changed into his bedroom clothes and had no plans to go out today.
When he was sitting on the low couch by the window and playing Luban Lock with Fangfang, Li Qingluo came over with a book.
"Ashi, I have something to ask you."
Duan Rongshi glanced at his daughter who was sitting next to him and playing with the small lock happily, then reached out and pulled Li Qingluo over, letting her sit on his lap.
"You ask."
Li Qingluo: "That witch doctor in the palace... is he one of yours?"
Duan Rongshi knew which one she was asking about.
Xiyue brought the witch doctor from the Western Regions who kept Emperor Yan alive for another two years.
Duan Rongshi did not deny it, but he did not nod either.
“Not at first.”
“Now.”
Li Qingluo's eyes lit up with interest: "What do you mean?"
Duan Rongshi: "Originally, I left Jinling in a hurry, so I didn't have time to arrange everything."
Li Qingluo knew that he left in such a hurry because of herself.
At that time, she was unconscious and had lost her soul.
Duan Rongshi resolutely gave up everything that was within his reach in Jinling and followed his grandmother and others to Miaojiang.
I stayed in Miaojiang for several months.
The situation in Nanjing changes every day.
Xiyue found a witch doctor from the Western Regions and saved half of Emperor Yan's life even though he had already suffered from hemiplegia.
After Emperor Yan recovered a lot, he appointed his fourth son Duan Rongjue, who had never been outstanding but was very filial and obedient, as the crown prince.
But he was also afraid that after having a crown prince, all the forces would immediately hope that he, the emperor, would die.
So after seeing Xiyue's ambition, he took advantage of Xiyue's filial piety and simply expanded Xiyue's appetite.
He deliberately let the siblings fight for power.
He deliberately let the siblings compete with each other so that he could still hold power and decide their ultimate life and death!
In this way, they will not dare to kill themselves easily.
However, they still ignored Duan Rongshi, the person who could truly stir up the entire Daliang situation.
"That witch doctor is someone my eldest sister met when she was in the northwest."
"She must have been planning this for years. She finally found her chance and wanted to make a move, but unfortunately... my father only used her as a pawn."
When mentioning Princess Li Qingluo, Nanping comes to mind.
At that time, the mother and daughter were so favored, glorious and honorable in the whole Jinling.
However... time passed, and the prince consort, his father and his son all died under Duan Rongjue's sword.
The eldest princess is missing.
Nanping...also became stupid and foolish, lost her mind and memory, and looked even worse than an ordinary girl.
"If the princess succeeds in seizing power...will you return to Jinling?"
After all, their relationship as siblings is the closest among all the princes and princesses.
Duan Rongshi replied with certainty: "No."
"But the eldest sister has changed."
"If she hadn't given up on Nanping, I wouldn't have made that last move."
The last step is to make the witch doctor his own.
After Xiyue gave up Nanping, Duan Rongshi knew that she had been blinded by power and turned into a person who would do anything to achieve her goals.
If she had originally intended to fight Duan Rongjue to the end, or even to expose the leverage Duan Rongjue had over her, instead of giving up Nanping so easily, she would not have reached this day.
It was Xiyue's attitude that made Duan Rongshi realize that even if Xiyue won, she would definitely not give him what he wanted.
Because she would never allow anyone to challenge the imperial power she could obtain.
What Duan Rongshi wanted was to personally end Emperor Yan's life and personally settle the grudge of his mother's tragic death.
As soon as the news that the Emperor of Great Chu was returning to Nanjing was announced, the entire Mantuo City became lively.
Some people in Da Chu were worried about this.
Some people in Daliang were also excited about this.
Inevitably, there were people quarreling and making trouble on the streets, but they were quickly dealt with by the city lord's men, so that no one dared to cause trouble again.
But the people of Da Chu and Daliang were indeed not very happy about the incident, and there was even a hint of hatred towards each other.
However, after Duan Rongshi decided on his itinerary, he first summoned his three personal guards.
Breaking wind, chasing rain and cold lightning.
Today, in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone else was dismissed.
Only Li Qingluo, with Fangfang, and Duan Rongshi's family of three met the three of them.
Good wine and delicious food have been set up in the yard.
Zhui Yu ran around the yard with Fang Fang on his shoulders.
Pofeng and Lengdian were staring at Zhuiyu closely, and even reached out their hands, fearing that Zhuiyu might make a mistake and drop their little prince.
"Be careful."
"Go slower, don't make the little prince dizzy!"
"Zhuiyu, watch your step!"
However, Fangfang was amused by Zhuiyu and laughed out loud. He happily pulled Zhuiyu's hair and laughed so hard that his saliva was dripping.
"Oh, why is it raining?"
Zhuiyu wiped his forehead and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
He didn't show any disgust at all. He smiled and picked up Fangfang and held him in his arms.
Pofeng and Lengdian both hurried forward and offered their hands.
